Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Three years after Zhou Yang returned to the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea, his Golden Elixir celebration was held as scheduled.

Because of his instruction, this celebration was not held in the Xijiaozhou oasis, which had already been regarded as the base camp of the Zhou family, but in the Chihushan oasis.

When the day of the celebration came, the number of immortal cultivators gathered on the Chihu Mountain oasis exceeded 50,000!

Moreover, more than 80% of the mid-level and high-level monks in the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea either accepted the invitation or came here on their own initiative.

It has been more than two hundred years since hundreds of foundation-building monks and a dozen purple mansion monks gathered together in the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea.

The last time such a grand scene happened was more than two hundred years ago, when Cao Wenjin, a monk of the golden elixir stage of the Huangshamen, recruited men to launch the Battle of Xijiaozhou.

At that time, Zhou Yang was just a little cultivator in the foundation building period, and he was just the lowest pawn in that expedition, and he was not impressive at all.

Today, after more than two hundred years, he has become the host of this grand event specially held for him, attracting everyone's attention and awe.

At this moment, Zhou Yang, who was sitting cross-legged on a Dharma altar, looked at the countless monks sitting cross-legged waiting for him to give a lecture, and looked at the familiar faces who were closer to the Dharma altar, feeling a great sense of accomplishment , spontaneously.

Looking carefully, many monks sitting cross-legged under the altar today were once existences that he needed to look up to.

For example, Chen Pingan, the Patriarch of the Baituofeng Chen family who ruled the Baishahe oasis cultivating immortals.

Zhou Yang still remembers that when he left Yuquan Lake Oasis for the first time to practice in Baishahe Oasis, he was tricked by Chen Pingan's son shortly after he entered Baishahe Oasis, and he knocked away hundreds of people in vain. A piece of low-grade spirit stone, half of his fortune is gone.

By the way, what is the name of that Chen Pingan's son?

I can't remember some!

After all, more than two hundred and seventy years have passed since that incident, and the little monk in the qi training period who used his routine at the beginning has passed away for many years.

Oh, by the way, that kid later married one of his elder sisters and gave birth to a son. Under the pressure of Chen Pingan, he and the old patriarch Zhou Minghan had no choice but to compromise.

Zhou Yang recalled his involvement with Chen Ping'an and Bai Tuofeng's Chen family, and couldn't help but smile lightly on his face, and then he didn't care.

Really don't need to care about it, he is now a Jindan period monk, those old sesame seeds and rotten millet things, even if he occasionally recalls them, he just laughs them off, and it is impossible to take revenge because of this.

What's more, since he opened up the Purple Mansion, the Zhou family and the Chen family have lost all their grievances.

Then he turned his attention to another person, who was also the most concerned figure besides him here, Yang Wenxiong, the head of the contemporary Huang Shamen.

In the previous golden elixir celebration, as this person publicly expressed his willingness to rule the boundless sand sea and immortal world with the Zhou family, an era came to an end, and the era belonging to Huang Shamen ended!

From now on, all immortal cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation in the boundless sand sea know that there is only one overlord in the world of immortal cultivation in the boundless sand sea, and that is the Zhou family!

Yang Wenxiong, the head of the Huang Shamen, will also be recorded in the history of practice in the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea because of this major event, and will become a background figure to set off his Zhou Yang and Zhou family.

Zhou Yang is not Yang Wenxiong, so I don't know what is going on in his heart at this time, but judging by his calm expression, it seems that he has long been prepared to accept criticism.

This reminded him of the situation when the two first met.

It was more than 200 years ago, when he first followed Cao Wenjin, a cultivator of the golden elixir of the Huangshamen, to leave the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea, and went to the world of cultivating immortals in Liuyunzhou to buy the "Golden Elixir of Jade Liquid".

At that time, Yang Wenxiong had just opened up the Purple Mansion, and he was in high spirits. He was about to follow Cao Wenjin, the patriarch of the sect, to travel to the world of cultivating immortals in Liuyunzhou to increase his knowledge.

At that time, although Zhou Yang had made some fame in the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea, in the eyes of Yang Wenxiong, he was still just a potential foundation cultivator, and he didn't care too much about it.

It is estimated that Yang Wenxiong never imagined at the time that a foundation-building cultivator from the cultivating family that he didn't care about at the time would one day be able to form a golden core, and let his family replace their yellow monks and become a world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea A new generation of overlords.

Therefore, there is nothing more wonderful than this.

You will never know whether a pawn who didn't catch your eye at the time will become a big boss you need to look up to in the future!

Pig butchers in the past, now tens of thousands of households, this kind of thing happens in every world.

Zhou Yang looked at the countless monks who were waiting for him to give a speech under the altar today. Except for Chen Pingan and Yang Wenxiong, two old friends who had a lot of contact with him, none of them deserved his attention, even the other purple monks. Mansion monks are no exception.

For him, hundreds of years later, he is still a high-ranking Jindan stage monk, or even a Nascent Soul stage monk.

As for the countless monks below, who will survive by then, I don't know if there will be a handful of them!

According to the rules of the world of cultivating immortals, all ceremonies such as Foundation Establishment Ceremony, Purple Mansion Ceremony, Golden Core Ceremony, and Yuanying Ceremony, which are held because of the improvement of a cultivator's cultivation level, will be accompanied by a preaching ceremony.

The monks who go to the altar to preach, the generous ones will share some of their experience when they broke through the realm, and those who are stingy, on this big day, will share some of their practice experience to win a good reputation .

Zhou Yang has had similar experiences several times, and he is quite proficient in this kind of thing.

Moreover, he has already decided on the content of the sermon, and at this time, he only needs to speak according to his own thoughts.

He is quite a generous person, and he also has the intention to show kindness to the monks present through this lecture, and to accumulate a reputation for the Zhou family to succeed Huang Shamen as the overlord of the boundless sand sea and immortal cultivation world.

During the ten days and ten nights of the lecture, he divided it into three parts. On the first day, he talked about some simple ways of practice, so that the monks in the Qi training period could understand what he said.

Then it took two more days to talk about a slightly more advanced way of cultivation, which made the hundreds of foundation-building monks in the audience mesmerized and oblivious to the passage of time.

Afterwards, Zhou Yang spent another day talking about the profound Golden Core Dao, not letting the dozen or so Zifu period monks sit for a few days in vain.

In the next few days, Zhou Yang continued to explain some experience in refining weapons and talismans, and randomly selected some monks to answer the doubts they encountered in their practice.

Because of this sermon, hundreds of monks were promoted in the following years, including twenty or thirty foundation-building monks and a Zifu monk.

In addition, there are also some monks who practice weapon refining and talisman making. Through Zhou Yang's preaching, they understand some truths, and thus improve the level of weapon refining and talisman making.

These monks who have gained something are naturally grateful to Zhou Yang, and they also have a good impression of the Zhou family. Out of gratitude, they took the initiative to help Zhou Yang publicize the gains from this preaching ceremony, and achieved Zhou Yang's achievements in the side. Yang wants the purpose.

And after the preaching ceremony, as the monks from all parties who came because of the Zhou Yang Golden Elixir Ceremony dispersed, the Zhou family's family meeting was also held as scheduled.

At this family meeting, monks from all branches of the Zhou family also attended. Nearly a thousand monks from the Zhou family gathered together to listen to the patriarch Zhou Guangxiang talk about the future development plan of the family.

"This is a standard robe made by my order. It is made of [Flame-eating Spider] spider silk produced by the family as the main material. You can get one for free, and if it is damaged, you need to pay for the spirit stone to buy it from the family, and the monks of the family must wear this robe uniformly in the clan, and try not to take it off when walking outside the clan."

In the main hall, Zhou Guangxiang was holding a fiery red robe in his hand, showing the appearance of this robe to all the clansmen.

I saw this robe, which was woven with fiery red "Flame-eating Spider" silk, with various exquisite cloud patterns intertwined on it, and the word "Zhou" was embroidered with gold thread on the chest, "Zhou" Surrounding the words are clusters of burning golden flame patterns.

The word "Zhou" of course represents the Zhou family, and the clusters of burning golden flames represent Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the family who possesses the "Qianyang Treasure Body".

As long as the monks of the Zhou family wear this kind of robe and see the golden flame pattern on it, they will naturally not forget whose credit it is for them to be able to wear this robe today.

"There are currently three types of robes, corresponding to the Qi training monks, foundation building monks, and Zifu monks in the family. The distinguishing marks are the flame patterns. The three clusters are the lowest, and the nine clusters are the highest!"

Zhou Guangxiang shook the magic robe in his hand, so that all the clansmen could clearly see the nine clusters of golden flames on the robe, and explained in a powerful voice.

The Zhou family used to have clan uniforms too, but that clan uniform was just a set of ordinary clothes worn for some ceremonies such as offering sacrifices to ancestors, not legal gowns.

And the magic robe that Zhou Guangxiang is holding now is not only exquisite in appearance, but also equivalent to a second-order middle-grade defensive magic weapon. It is beautiful and practical, and the most important thing is that it is free!

Naturally, no one would object to this good thing of getting a second-tier middle-grade defensive magic weapon for free, and all the participating clansmen approved this proposal with great joy.

This can be regarded as the first benefit given to all clan members after the Zhou family became the overlord of the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea.

With a good start, Zhou Guangxiang made persistent efforts and made a second proposal.

"Now my Zhou family is already the overlord of the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea. The family population and territory continue to expand, and the difficulty of management is becoming more and more difficult. In order to optimize the operation and management of the family and improve the progressive consciousness of the people, I discussed with my ancestors. At once, we decided to make reforms to the family management method and the status and status of people with different cultivation bases."

"From now on, all the monks of my Zhou family who have successfully established the foundation will no longer be granted the position of elder, and the former monks who established the foundation will no longer be called elders. The position of elder can only be held by the monks of the Zifu, and the only elder who is the supreme elder is the ancestor. , the status of the patriarch is similar to that of an elder!"

"At the same time, the original titles of preaching elders and law enforcement elders are abolished, and hall masters are honored. In private, uncles, nephews, and other titles can also be used."

"The hall master of each hall must be a foundation-building monk."

"Merge the Battle Hall and the Security Hall, and change its name to the Eagle Lion Hall. At the same time, merge the Internal Affairs Hall and the General Affairs Hall, and change its name to the General Affairs Hall. Part of the original Internal Affairs Hall's functions are transferred to the Chuangong Hall and Baiyi Hall."

"The functions of the Foreign Affairs Hall will be upgraded. In the future, the affairs related to the vassal families will be checked by the Foreign Affairs Hall and given preliminary opinions, and then handed over to the patriarch for ruling."

"Establish an enshrinement hall to unify the management of the family's enshrined monks."

The Zhou family now has the ancestors of the Jindan stage in charge, and several monks of the Zifu stage. It is not surprising that the requirements for elders have been raised.

After all, even Huang Shamen, which has no golden core stage monks, is still only qualified to serve as an elder. It makes no sense for the Zhou family, the new overlord of the boundless sand sea, to use foundation establishment stage monks as elders. There are no more cards.

As for the merger and adjustment of various halls and the establishment of new halls, these things have nothing to do with most low-level monks in the family. There are only a dozen or so family monks who are qualified to compete for those positions.

In fact, not every foundation-building cultivator is willing to put down his practice and be distracted to deal with those chores.

Therefore, Zhou Guangxiang's reform proposal was quickly passed, and no one raised any objections.

Next, he proposed a plan to establish an inspection team. He would select elite monks from the newly reformed Gripen Hall and the Enshrining Hall to form an inspection team, and inspect the important sandy roads from Xijiao Island to Chihushan Oasis in batches from time to time. Attack sand bandits and sand bandits who loot along the way.

When the Zhou family captured the Chihuling Oasis, the Zhou family successfully domesticated a second-order flying monster, the Flying Fire Bat. Now that more than two hundred years have passed, the number of such flying monsters domesticated and bred by the Zhou family has reached one Hundreds of heads.

Every monk in the Zhou family's inspection team can equip a flying fire bat as a transport mount, which greatly improves the inspection efficiency and team combat effectiveness.

In fact, the main purpose of this inspection team is not to fight sand bandits and sand bandits. The main purpose is to take the opportunity to exercise the combat effectiveness of the family monks and reveal the strength of the Zhou family to outside monks.

Zhou Guangxiang's move aims to let outside monks know that the Zhou family can become the overlord of the boundless sand sea and the world of immortal cultivation not only because of Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the golden core period, but also the other monks of the Zhou family are definitely not hiding under the wings of the family ancestor. The next incompetent generation.

Naturally, this proposal to help the family become famous and do righteous things has won the support of most of the family's monks, especially those of the younger generation of monks.

After this incident, the real highlight came.

When Zhou Guangxiang proposed to change the family welfare system and establish a direct vassal family, it was no surprise that almost all the monks opposed it, including most of the foundation-building monks.

The assessment is for the whole family of monks. Not only the monks of the Qi training period are included in the assessment, but also the monks of the foundation building period are included in the assessment, but the assessment time for the monks of the foundation building period has been extended appropriately.

Only monks in the purple mansion period can be exempted from the assessment, which is the prerogative of the elders and patriarchs.

"Patriarch, you must think twice!"

"It's not easy for our Zhou family to get to where we are today. The big guys have devoted themselves to the family all these years. Even if there is no credit, then there is hard work, right?"

"Now the family has become the overlord of the boundless sand sea and the world of cultivating immortals. It is the most powerful time in history. The big guys are thinking that they can relax and enjoy the happiness, but you come here. This is not, this is not..."

A Foundation Establishment cultivator of the "Tong" generation of the Zhou family looked at Zhou Guangxiang excitedly, struggling to speak out for himself and other clansmen.

But more monks all looked at Zhou Yang who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed and rested, without saying a word the whole time.

Everyone knows that the real supreme ruler of the Zhou family has always been the ancestor of the family who single-handedly led the family to today.

Although Zhou Yang has not interfered with the Zhou family's family affairs for a long time, his status in the Zhou family has never changed. On the contrary, with the improvement of his cultivation level, the people below are more and more awed.

"Your name is Zhou Tongda, right? I don't think you have any understanding at all!"

Zhou Yang opened his eyes, and looked at the foundation-building cultivator sharply, and his face changed drastically when he opened his mouth. He was so shocked that he fell to his knees on the ground and kowtowed for mercy.

"My ancestors forgive me, my ancestors forgive my sins, my grandson knows I was wrong, please forgive my grandson once!"

Zhou Yang ignored him, but looked at those clansmen whose expressions changed drastically, and said in a cold tone:

"Zhou Tongda's thoughts are probably also your thoughts, right?"

"Ridiculous, really ridiculous!"

"I am currently at the golden core stage, and I dare not neglect my practice. I practice hard every day and never slack off. How dare you mention the word "relax?"

"The Zhou family can have what it is today. You have contributed a lot, but the bigger contributors are me, your patriarch, and the tens of thousands of family ancestors who have given their lives for the development of the family!"

"Now you are sitting on the spiritual mountain that your ancestors sacrificed their lives to build, but you don't want to use the favorable conditions to practice hard, but say you want to enjoy the blessings. You think that doing this is worthy of those who have never lived on such a high-level spiritual mountain in their entire lives. Family ancestors who have practiced? Are you worthy?"

"Is the family treating you badly? Compare the monks of other families, compare those casual cultivators, and see which family treats our Zhou family members better?"

"In terms of daily food and accommodation, the family's spiritual grains and monster meat are all open for you to eat. You can eat a special medicinal meal every month. The places where you live are also places with rich spiritual energy. Spirit talismans are also distributed for free!"

"In terms of practice, you are free to learn the exercises and spells collected by the family, and the elders will answer your questions about practice for free!"

"You have these favorable treatment, but you don't want to practice hard to repay your family, and you don't want to make progress. Say it yourself, are you worthy of those ancestors who gave their lives to create such favorable conditions for you?"

Zhou Yang glanced at the thousands of clansmen in the hall, none of them dared to look him in the eye, and everyone was frightened by his harsh words.

Since he first established the system of the family meeting, this is the first time he has spoken to everyone in such a harsh tone at the family meeting.

And his status as a Jindan stage monk and the status of the ancestor of the family made those who were told by him, no one dared to refute, and even dared not have the idea of ​​​​refuting in their hearts, and some were only boundless.

After scanning around like this, Zhou Yang restrained some determination in his eyes, and said in a calm tone:

"Of course, everyone has their own ambitions. If someone feels that the Zhou family is now strong and does not need to work hard to contribute to the family, and wants to relax and enjoy the so-called happiness, I will not force it."

"It's just that I want to tell you that such a person is not worthy of living in the Zhou family under my leadership, and the Zhou family will not support such an incompetent person who has no enterprising spirit!"

"You can leave the family with the severance pay given to you by the family. At that time, whether you want to establish a vassal family to enjoy your happiness, or wander around the world of cultivating immortals freely, it's up to you!"

After finishing speaking, Zhou Yang turned his eyes again, looked at Zhou Tongda who was still kowtowing on the ground, and said, "Get up first, the speaker is innocent, I said this myself when I established the family assembly system, Although your thoughts disgust me, I will not use them to punish you!"

When Zhou Tongda heard what he said earlier, he was overjoyed, thinking that he had escaped a catastrophe.

But when he heard what he said later, his heart turned cold, and his face instantly turned ashen.

Zhou Yang, the patriarch of the family, uttered words that disliked his thoughts in front of the whole family, even if his thoughts actually represented the thoughts of many family monks, he was finished!

Zhou Yang may not blame him for his speech, but he knows that other clansmen will definitely remember what Zhou Yang said today, and then avoid him as if avoiding snakes and scorpions, so as not to be regarded as his "companion".

"I'm so stupid!"

"It is said that the rafters of the leader are rotten first. Knowing that the patriarch dared to take the risk of making such a proposal to offend the monks of the whole clan, he must have obtained the approval of the ancestors in advance. Why did he rush to take the lead? Where does the monkey see the chicken?"

Zhou Tongda got up with a ashen face and retreated to his original position. Looking at the surrounding clansmen who kept a distance from him, he felt boundless regret in his heart.

He didn't dare to blame Zhou Yang, the patriarch of the family, he only blamed himself for being so stupid, so blind that he didn't even understand such a simple truth.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world. The "chicken" he delivered to the door just happened to be a role model for Zhou Yang to intimidate the group of monkeys.

Sure enough, seeing Zhou Tongda, a monk in the foundation period, said that the one who sacrificed was sacrificed by Zhou Yang, and coupled with the influence of Zhou Yang's previous stern words, no Zhou family monk had the guts to raise objections to the new reform. up.

Smart people know that Zhou Yang gave them the right to attend the family meeting to discuss major family affairs, so that they can speak freely here and participate in the family's decision-making.

Zhou Yang did not give them a chance to speak, nor did he give them the right to object, and none of them could object.

The Zhou family is the Zhou family of all the Zhou family members, but the Zhou family with Zhou Yang, the old ancestor, is the overlord of the boundless sand sea and immortal world.

Annoyed Zhou Yang, the patriarch of the family, left the family to roam around in a fit of anger. They still want to enjoy life in peace? Go dreaming!

Even teenagers know this simple truth.

Originally, I wanted to write about the details of the celebration, but when I thought about the food and drink plots I had written before, I would be suspected of defrauding money by writing them out now, and with the strength and status of the protagonist in the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea, it is impossible to have Who dares to make trouble, so let's write like this!
