Cultivation Begins From The Desert

The level of the spiritual veins on Jinxia Mountain is the third-rank top grade, which is higher than the spiritual veins of the Yuquan Peak of the Zhou family. It is used for Zhou Yang, a monk in the Qi training period, to break through the small realm.

After only nine days of retreat in the retreat room in the backyard of the "Yuquan Building", he successfully broke through the barrier of cultivation that had trapped him for more than a year, successfully broke through to the ninth floor of Qi training, and became a member of the Zhou family for more than two hundred years. Here comes the first Qi-training ninth-level monk under the age of forty.

It was only after he broke through to the ninth level of Qi training that Zhou Yang finally understood why only monks from the ninth level of Qi training in the Zhou family could be the elders of the family.

He didn't know what was going on with the others, anyway, after he broke through from the eighth level of Qi training to the ninth level of Qi training, his mana had tripled, his spiritual consciousness had also doubled, and the range of his spiritual consciousness had reached 300 meters. Far!

This kind of magic power and consciousness is enough to allow him to use four or five second-level top-grade magic weapons to fight against people for half an hour at the same time, and the fighting power is not the same as before.

According to the family rules of the Zhou family, as long as the monks of the Zhou family break through to the ninth level of Qi training and report to the family, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan will bestow the position of family elder on behalf of the family.

If Zhou Yang broke through to the ninth level of Qi training in the Yuquan Lake Oasis, he would probably become the ninth elder of the Zhou family that day.

The reason why he is the ninth elder is because his father, Zhou Xuanhao, has already held the foundation establishment ceremony after the success of the foundation establishment ceremony, and the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, on behalf of the family, conferred the position of Supreme Elder of a higher level, thus This made the ninth elder of the Zhou family vacate a position.

In principle, the Supreme Elder and the family patriarch are equal, even the patriarch has no right to give any orders directly to him, even when the family patriarch makes a big mistake and causes heavy losses to the family, the Supreme Elder still has the right Convene the council of elders to vote to remove him from the position of patriarch.

But in fact, under the family system, the status of the Supreme Elder is still lower than that of the patriarch. To put it bluntly, the Supreme Elder is a noble position with high status but little real power. As long as the patriarch does not make mistakes, he will not offend the clan Complaints abound, the Supreme Elder can only be a mascot, leading high priests to practice with peace of mind.

For those who have a strong desire for power and control, of course they don't like to be an elder who looks noble but has little real power, but there are not many such people among immortal cultivators.

Therefore, the actual situation in the world of cultivating immortals is that high-level monks among the major forces often like to be the elders who only receive offerings and do little work, and do not want to waste their precious practice time dealing with those sect chores.

Anyway, the great power of an immortal cultivator belongs to himself. As long as his own cultivation is still there, no one dares to ignore his own existence even if he is a leisurely elder.

Therefore, Zhou Yang was actually extremely envious of his father Zhou Xuanzhen becoming the Supreme Elder.

It's a pity that he is only envious. As the next patriarch of the Zhou family who is almost appointed by default, even if he succeeds in establishing the foundation, he will not be a leisurely elder. In the future, the ship of the Zhou family will only be helmed by him.

"Ninth Brother, Ninth Brother, the family caravan is back, Sixth Uncle and Eleventh Uncle followed the caravan and returned to Fangshi!"

On this day, when Zhou Yang was looking at the books on strange things that he had bought on the third floor of the "Yuquan Building", Zhou Xiong, who was originally entertaining guests downstairs, suddenly barged in with a face full of tears. The color of excitement.

"Caravan? Sixth Uncle and Eleventh Uncle? Wait... You mean the caravan that went to Huangshamen with the Chen family's caravan a few years ago to pay tribute to trade is back?"

After Zhou Yang muttered a few words to himself following the words of his clan brother, his face suddenly froze, and the look in his eyes instantly became dignified.

Whether it is the Chen family or the Zhou family, they are all families affiliated to the Huang Shamen. Every ten years, the surrounding families affiliated to the Huang Shamen will jointly organize a caravan to carry a large number of spiritual objects to the Huang Shamen. Tribute and trade at the location of the mountain gate.

This caravan is usually led by the foundation-building monks of the Chen family, and the rest of the foundation-building families like the Zhou family will each send a few monks of the Qi training period to join them, and then form a camel caravan to set off from the Baisha River oasis. It takes more than 10,000 miles to reach the giant oasis where the Huangshamen Mountain Gate is located.

As far as Zhou Yang knows, more than two years ago, the sixth uncle Zhou Xuanjing, the elder of the family, and the eleventh uncle Zhou Xuankun, who has the eighth level of Qi training, brought two monks from the Zhou family's relatives and three descendants with the word "Yuan" Followed the caravan to Huangshamen.

An ordinary family monk like Zhou Xiong only knew that this time the caravan went to Huangshamen for tribute and trade as before.

But Zhou Yang knew that this time the caravan went to Huangshamen, there was actually another task, which was to retrieve the last few auxiliary spiritual objects for refining the foundation establishment pill for the ancestor Chen Yaohui of the Chen family.

Now that the caravan is back, it means that the "foundation building meeting" that the old patriarch Zhou Minghan talked about with him will be held soon.

Sure enough, when he met with sixth uncle Zhou Xuanjing and eleventh uncle Zhou Xuankun, he immediately saw the invitation letter written by the ancestor of the Chen family from the hand of the sixth uncle, inviting Zhou Minghan, the old patriarch of the Zhou family, to come to Baituoling for a gathering in half a year. .

"Xiao Jiu, the old patriarch must have told you about the [Foundation Establishment Conference], right? Since you have broken through to the ninth level of Qi training, this time our Zhou family must get a Foundation Establishment Pill no matter what. Yes, you must stay in Fangshi for the next period of time, and don't leave!"

Inside the "Jade Spring Building", Zhou Xuankun looked at the younger generation in front of him whose cultivation had already surpassed his uncle's, his face was filled with relief and envy.

He was nearly twenty years younger than Zhou Yang's father, Zhou Xuanzhen. Originally, if Zhou Yang hadn't broken through to the ninth level of Qi training, he would have had a chance to take it after the Zhou family purchased the Foundation Establishment Pill.

It's a pity that although he is also a middle-grade spiritual root aptitude, his practice has been delayed for several years because of an injury in a fight in his early years, so that his cultivation base is still at the eighth level of Qi training without breakthrough. Dan was out of luck.

"Old Eleven is right, Xiao Jiu, you need to be more careful at this time, outside here is no better than inside the family, you have to pay more attention to everything."

Zhou Xuanjing glanced at the clan younger brother who had a complex expression beside him, and looked at Zhou Yang with a hint of meaning, and gave some instructions.

"Two uncles, don't worry, at this time, unless the old patriarch personally orders, otherwise my nephew will definitely not step out of the market!"

Zhou Yang understood the meaning of the two clan uncles. They were worried that he would be persecuted after leaving Fangshi, so that he would miss the opportunity to build a foundation. There were precedents for this kind of thing in the past.

After all, even if the ancestors of the Chen family refined the Foundation Establishment Pill, there must not be many of them. If the Zhou family gets one, it means that other families will return empty-handed.

In this case, in order to reduce one competitor, some families secretly persecute the "foundation-building seeds" in the opponent's family who are expected to build a foundation, which is also a matter of course.

Zhou Minghan, the old patriarch, had specifically explained these things to Zhou Yang when he left the family, so since he came to Fangshi, he never left Fangshi again.

As long as he is in Fangshi, the Chen family will endorse his safety. Whoever dares to hurt others in Fangshi is tantamount to making the whole Chen family an enemy.
