Cultivation Begins From The Desert

With Zhou Yang's guarantee, Zhou Xuanjing and Zhou Xuankun returned to the family with the invitation letter from the ancestor of the Chen family.

However, although Zhou Xuanjing and Zhou Xuankun left, the other Zhou family monks who went to Huangshamen together with him stayed in Fangshi to rest, planning to rest for a month or two before returning to the family.

Among these Zhou family monks were the second elder brother Zhou Bao and the third elder brother Zhou Qi who had been there when Zhou Yang was stationed at Qingping Mountain Oasis.

And because of the old man Zhou Quan's care and advice, Zhou Yang went to the backyard to visit his second brother Zhou Bao who was resting after the eleventh uncle Zhou Xuankun left.

"Second Brother, I heard from Uncle Eleven that you plan to spread out after you come home this time?"

In the yard, Zhou Yang looked at his second brother Zhou Bao, whom he hadn't seen for nearly ten years. This second brother looked more and more old-fashioned, and even had gray hair on his head.

"Yeah, I'm not too young now, and it's time to spread my branches and leaves for the Zhou family. Grandpa said it right at the beginning. My temperament is not suitable for hanging out in the world of cultivating immortals. It is more suitable for me to return to the family to farm."

Perhaps it is because of his age. Zhou Bao is much calmer now when facing Zhou Yang, the most dazzling younger brother of his peers. At least he will not have the courage to look at Zhou Yang like he did back then. up.

But when Zhou Yang looked at Zhou Bao now, he felt a little nostalgic for the dull and introverted second brother back then.

The reason why Zhou Bao dared to look at him now was because he had completely given up the pursuit of improving his cultivation and completely lost his desire to make progress.

But since this is Zhou Bao's own choice, he can't say anything more, he can only nod his head and say: "Since you have already decided, second brother, then apply to go to [Haoyang Cave] with the family, I will meet with the old man The patriarch explained the situation and asked you to be the city lord of the mortal city there, so that you don't have to leave the family to perform missions in the future!"

The old man Zhou Quan asked him to take care of this second brother many times. He originally wanted to find an opportunity to arrange a lighter and safer job for the second brother after he established his foundation and took power. Dude, or as the first teacher for the next generation of monks.

But now that Zhou Bao has decided to give up his practice, he can only be allowed to become a city lord in a mortal city.

"Thank you ninth brother, thank you!"

Zhou Bao also knew that this was already the greatest help that Zhou Yang could give him. After all, the family belonged to everyone in the Zhou family, not to a certain individual. Raising him doesn't require him to do anything, so what do other clansmen think?

He just gave up his pursuit of cultivation, but he didn't really want to give up his status as a cultivator or the receipt of family offerings.

"Hey! Then second brother, you should have a good rest, and the little brother won't bother you."

Zhou Yang let out a long sigh, shook his head, had nothing more to say, and got up and left the yard directly.

Until he returned to the third floor of the "Yuquan Building" and picked up the half-read History of Strange Objects, he was still thinking about what his third grandfather Zhou Quan said to him the day before his death.

At that time, the old man Zhou Quan had already anticipated his own deadline, so he specially called him to his side and told him, "Little Jiu, the biggest regret of the third grandfather in his life is that he didn't live up to expectations when he was young, and he didn't summon up the courage to attack the foundation building. !"

"I can't do it anymore. The Zhou family can only rely on you juniors in the future. Even if you build a foundation in the future, don't slack off in your cultivation!"

"The old man said something selfish. Why do we cultivators establish sects and families? It's not to gather the strength of everyone to facilitate our own practice! Xiaojiu, you are very talented. As long as you work hard to practice, you may surpass all the predecessors of my Zhou family in the future. I hope that you will not be like the third grandpa and me, when we grow old, we regret that we have not tried our best in this life, leaving regrets in vain!"

"I'm leaving. Your second brother will ask you to take care of the third grandpa. The third grandpa doesn't ask him to make any achievements in cultivation. He just hopes that he can die like the old man in the future!"

Recalling the awe and prestige of the old man Zhou Quan who hammered down the second-rank high-grade monster "Gold-eating Rat", and comparing it with his dying appearance before he died, Zhou Yang couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Why!

He is now at the ninth level of qi training, and his strength is probably stronger than the old man Zhou Quan back then, and if there is no accident, he will be able to swallow the foundation building pill and attack the foundation building in a short time.

But what about the foundation?

Although the lifespan of a monk in the foundation building period is twice as long as that of a monk in the Qi training period, if he does not open up a purple mansion, his lifespan will stop at more than two hundred years old.

Even a cultivator in the Zifu stage like Chen Yaohui, the patriarch of the Chen family, can only double his lifespan, and will not become a golden elixir. Five hundred years later, it will still be a pile of loess.

Even if he becomes a golden elixir by luck and borrows another five hundred years from the sky to prolong his life to a thousand years, what will happen next?

Nascent Soul Stage?

In the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea for nearly two thousand years, there has never been a monk in the Nascent Soul stage!

"If you don't grow up, you will end up as an ant!"

These eight words suddenly popped up in Zhou Yang's mind, these short eight words express the true meaning of why immortals should cultivate immortals.

"Ants? Even if you are an ant, you have to be a bigger and stronger ant. You must know that ants can defy the sky!"

He muttered to himself, and suddenly smiled on his face, showing a very happy smile.

At this moment, Zhou Yang felt that his state of mind had improved a lot.

The cultivation of mental state is different from that of mana. After reaching the ninth level of qi training during the Qi training period, if a monk does not hit the foundation, his mana will not make any progress, but the cultivation of mental state is not subject to this restriction.

The state of mind cultivation is a very vague concept. It refers to the degree of comprehension and understanding of the cultivation and Dao of the immortal cultivator, and there is no hierarchical division such as Qi training and foundation building.

However, according to the conclusions of the senior cultivators, the higher the cultivator's state of mind, the lower the probability of becoming obsessed during practice, and the chance of encountering bottlenecks in future practice will be less than those with a lower state of mind.

A person with a low level of cultivation may not necessarily be unable to build a foundation or form a golden core.

But under the same conditions, a person with a high mental state will definitely have a higher success rate of foundation establishment and alchemy than a person with a low mental state.

Whether or not a monk's state of mind has been improved, only he himself knows, and no outsider can know no matter how high his cultivation is, and to improve his state of mind, it all depends on the monk's own understanding and chance, where external forces can influence negligible.

So although everyone knows the benefits of improving the state of mind, no one will deliberately pursue this, and they can't force it.

After all, no matter how high the state of mind is, it cannot directly increase the foundation building success rate of monks by several percent like the foundation building pill. For the monks in the qi training period, it is better to spend time on the Earn spirit stones to come up.

Zhou Yang didn't particularly care about the improvement of his state of mind, so after laughing, he picked up the book of Strange Objects and read it again.

Zhou Yang always felt that the jet-black ore he got from the burly middle-aged man Zhong Quan that day was not simple, so when he had nothing to do these days, he was looking through various classics to check information, hoping to find something related to it. A record of an unknown strange thing.

It's a pity that he has searched all the classics that can be found on the market, but he has not found any recorded information so far.

No matter which world it is, knowledge is the most precious wealth. Zhou Yang knew that he did not find the information he wanted. It was definitely not because there were no records about the jet-black ore in the world of cultivating immortals, but because it recorded the origin of the jet-black ore. The classics are relatively precious, and they are only collected by some big powers with a long history, and they will not be widely circulated and collected by others like the "Records of Treasures of Heaven and Earth" in his hands.

Just like the foundation-building period exercises collected by his Zhou family, and the inheritance of the fourth-level refiner obtained by the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, if the Zhou family monks did not practice to the foundation-building period, they would not have access to these high-end knowledge.

Perhaps because of some rumors, in the next few months, the number of immortal cultivators in Jinshafang City began to increase significantly, and even the rarely seen cultivators at the foundation stage were seen appearing in the city.

The increase in the number of these monks is of course a good thing for the shops in Fang City. All the shops have seized the opportunity and introduced various preferential measures to attract customers.

However, this does not include the "Yuquan Building". Thanks to the overwhelming popularity of Zhou Yang's previous big refining tool, most of the various spiritual objects accumulated in the "Yuquan Building" have been sold, and there is no time to replenish them in the future. Zhou Yang Even if you want to join in the fun, you have no capital.

It was in this situation that the storm was about to come, Zhou Yang finally waited for the support of the family after the sixth uncle Zhou Xuanjing and the eleventh uncle Zhou Xuankun left for three or four months.

The Zhou family had been preparing for this "Foundation Establishment Conference" for decades, so when Zhou Xuanjing and the two returned to the family with the invitation letter from the ancestor of the Chen family and the good news that Zhou Yang had broken through to the ninth level of Qi training, the old patriarch Zhou Ming John immediately summoned his staff and set off according to the plan.

In order to successfully win the Foundation Establishment Pill in this "Foundation Establishment Conference", in addition to Zhou Minghan, the old patriarch of the seventh floor of the Foundation Establishment, the Zhou family also sent Zhou Yun, Zhou Qi, Zhou Xuantai, Zhou Xuanjing, Zhou Xuanbin, etc. Five Qi-training ninth-level elders participated in the battle.

In addition, Zhou Xuanyu, the elder of the Zhou family's general affairs, also came to Fangshi. After the "Foundation Establishment Conference", he will take over from Zhou Yang and take charge of the two shops of "Yuquanlou" and "Zuixianlou".

The minimum cultivation level of their team is the ninth level of Qi training, and the experienced old patriarch Zhou Minghan led the way. It took much less time to reach the Baisha River Oasis than Zhou Yang did at the beginning.

After arriving at the Baisha River Oasis, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan went directly to the Chen family in Baituoling to meet with the ancestors of the Chen family to discuss the details of the "Foundation Establishment Conference". The spiritual objects brought are replenished into the "Yuquan Building" container.
