Cultivation Begins From The Desert

"Brother Liu, Brother Yang, please go slowly, and when the Xiaojiu Foundation Establishment Ceremony is held in the future, please be sure to patronize me."

"Of course, I don't need to go to other people's foundation establishment ceremony, but I will definitely not be absent from Zhou Xiaoyou's foundation establishment ceremony."

Outside the Zhou family's residence on Jingming Peak, Zhou Yang and Zhou Minghan's grandfather and grandson personally sent them out of the courtyard after discussing with the visiting Liu Qingsong and Yang Xingyan for nearly an hour.

Seeing the smiles on their faces, it was obvious that they had a happy conversation and some kind of agreement had been reached.

After bidding farewell to the visiting Liu and Yang, Zhou Minghan and Zhou Yang returned to the quiet room, set up a sound-proof barrier and talked about the things they had previously agreed with Liu and Yang.

Zhou Minghan first said with a worried face: "I don't know if it's right for us to do this. If Liu and Yang didn't take the lead in this matter, I really wouldn't dare to think about it. This is a tiger's mouth!"

When Zhou Yang heard his words, he shook his head and said, "Please forgive my grandson for not agreeing with what my great-grandfather said!"

He looked at the old patriarch with a worried face, and said calmly: "Yang Xingyan is right. For the Chen family, it is a matter of mutual benefit for us to do this. Baisha River Oasis needs our strength. Help protect, the Chen family can't finish all the loose cultivation resources here."

"Our actions may make some monks of the Chen family uncomfortable, but with the wisdom of Old Ancestor Chen, we should be able to see our determination on this matter and the importance of this matter to our families."

"It's better to be silent about this matter. If the Chen family refuses to give up this benefit, it means that they don't treat us as allies at all, but as enemies that threaten their status as the Chen family. Do you want to use your family's resources to help them rebuild Fangshi?"

Hearing what he said, Zhou Minghan's worried expression became even more worried, and he couldn't help sighing heavily: "Hey! Xiaojiu, I also understand the truth of what you said. Although my Zhou family is now because of you father and son After building foundations one after another, there is no longer a lack of high-end combat power, but the number of monks in the Qi training period below has lost a lot, and it is difficult to replenish in a short time."

"Our families that are bound by blood, in order to avoid the situation where the client is strong and the owner is weak, after all, we can't recruit outsiders like sects. If we want to increase the size of the family quickly, the Chen family's [Fengyuelou] model is the only choice. "

"It's just that the old man looks at Liu and Yang. If the Chen family doesn't agree to the request of the three of us to open a family branch in the Baisha River oasis this time, I'm afraid they will really join forces to start a market and compete with the Chen family for casual repair resources. What should our Zhou family do then?"

What should the Zhou family do?

Zhou Yang looked at the old patriarch with a worried expression on his face, and really wanted to ask, do you still have to ask this question?

But that answer would be too disrespectful.

He could only helplessly smile and said: "Great-grandfather, you think too much. If the Chen family doesn't even agree to our small request, even if we don't work with the Liu and Yang families, we have to find another backer. The Chen family who refuses to take it out is definitely not a suitable person to follow!"

Zhou Minghan was stunned.

He looked at Zhou Yang in astonishment, frowning as if he wanted to say something.

But when he saw Zhou Yang's young face, he suddenly came to his senses, as if he understood something, he couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said: "Xiao Jiu, you are right, if the Chen family refuses to agree to our request , it’s like making it clear that they don’t want to see our families grow, so why should we follow them anymore? The old man understands what to do!”

He figured it out, Zhou Yang was not him, he was already old, and for the rest of his life, as long as he saw that the Zhou family could be passed on in his own hands, he would be satisfied.

However, a young man like Zhou Yang must have great ambitions and want to lead the family to grow. He had such ambitions when he was young.

In his opinion, what Liu and Yang planned this time was a dangerous move, and if they were not careful, they would attract the suppression of the Chen family, the Zifu family.

However, in the eyes of the ambitious Zhou Yang, this is an excellent opportunity to test the Chen family. If the Chen family has no room for people, then the Zhou family under his leadership will definitely not follow behind the Chen family. .

As for the suppression of the Chen family that came later, everyone was so far apart. At most, the Zhou family monks would not set foot in the Baisha River oasis. Could the Chen family still go to the Yuquan Lake oasis to destroy the Zhou family?

As long as the ancestor of the Chen family didn't lose his mind, it would be impossible to do this.

"It seems that I am really old. Even Liu Qingsong, an old guy with half of his foot buried in the ground, is still ambitious, but I just want to be a dog. Thanks to Xiaojiu, you are here today, otherwise I The Zhou family is about to miss a great opportunity!"

Zhou Minghan, who wanted to understand, shook his head with a gloomy face, very frustrated.

It's not scary to be old, but the scary thing is that the mind will age with it, especially for a family leader, once the mind ages, the whole family will be affected by him and decline.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang quickly comforted him: "Great-grandfather is just old and prudent. In the past, the burden of the entire Zhou family was on you. Of course you dare not take any risks. If you hadn't supported the family with all your strength, grandson and father might not Being able to build a foundation in peace, your devotion to the family is obvious to all, so why do you have to blame yourself for this?"

Zhou Minghan is so shrewd, how can he fail to hear his comforting words, he couldn't help but stare and said: "Okay, don't comfort me, kid, I'm wrong if I'm wrong, and I won't dare to admit it, wait After returning to the family this time, the old man will hand over the position of patriarch to you, and then be a carefree old man with peace of mind, and enjoy the happiness of life."

When Zhou Yang heard this, he immediately became anxious, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "How can this be done? Great-grandfather, you are a good patriarch, and your grandson is far behind in terms of cultivation and qualifications. How can you take on this important task?" ?”

"This old man is the patriarch, and the old man said you can do what you want, so it's decided!" Zhou Minghan seemed to be really hit, but he didn't listen to Zhou Yang's advice at all, and decided to pass on the position of patriarch after returning home. give him.

No matter how eloquent Zhou Yang is, he has no choice but to encounter this situation.

He is not unwilling to take over the position of patriarch, but that should be after the old patriarch Zhou Minghan passed away.

Now that Zhou Minghan suddenly said that the position of patriarch would be passed on to him, it was no wonder he was not in a hurry.

Not to mention that once he takes over the position of patriarch, it will definitely delay his practice, even if the old patriarch Zhou Minghan still has dozens of years of life, passing the position of patriarch to him will easily cause people to gossip.

When people who don't know hear about this, they will probably say that he and his father Zhou Xuanhao joined forces to force the palace, forcing Zhou Minghan to give up his seat in advance.

This would bring great damage to the reputation of him, his father Zhou Xuanzhen, and even the entire Zhou family. Zhou Yang didn't understand how the shrewd old patriarch suddenly became so unwise.

"It's bitter. It seems that I can only wait until I return to the family and ask my father and the others to persuade the old patriarch."

He secretly groaned in his heart, and he could only pin his hope on his father Zhou Xuanzhen and other elders of the family, hoping that these elders would be able to persuade the old patriarch to withdraw his decision.

On this day, as if it had been discussed in advance, the patriarchs of the Liu family in Chixia Mountain, the Yang family in Jinquangu, and the Zhou family in Yuquanhu suddenly boarded the white hump of the Chen family together, and directly requested to meet with Chen Patriarch for discussion. important matter.

Except for the foundation-building monks of the Chen family, no one knows what the patriarchs of these three families discussed with Patriarch Chen. The other families on Jingming Peak only know that the patriarchs of the Liu, Yang, and Zhou families all looked at each other after they returned from the white hump. They all looked uncontrollably happy, and when they came back, they brought their clansmen back to the family.

Baisha River Oasis and Yuquan Lake Oasis are thousands of miles apart. In order to take care of Zhou Xuantai and other Qi training stage monks, Zhou Minghan and Zhou Yang, two foundation stage monks, can only ride the Shatuo Beast with them.

The five Shatuo beasts were ridden by Zhou Xuantai and the others at that time, and they have been kept in the animal garden of the Chen family to raise them. They were lucky enough to survive the attack of sand bandits, but the two Shatuo beasts that Zhou Yang and Zhou Xuanyu were riding at the beginning were in the wild. When he escaped from Jinxia Mountain, he was slaughtered by two people with pain.

The Zhou family lost a lot in this sand bandit attack. In addition to the loss of materials worth thousands of spirit stones in the "Yuquan Building", six people including Zhou Xuanyu, Wu Tao, Luo Meiwei, Zhou Yuanxia, ​​Zhou Ping, and Zhou Qi were missing. Including Zhou Yun, Zhou Qi, and Zhou Xuanjing who died at the mouth of the monster, it means that the entire Zhou family's monk team has been reduced by 20%.

It was the first time in a hundred years that the Zhou family lost nine family monks at one time.

Zhou Yang could already predict how sad the family members waiting in the family would be when they heard the news.

It's just that since you have embarked on the road of cultivating immortals, you will inevitably encounter this kind of situation. This is the price of pursuing longevity!

The journey home was very long, and Zhou Yang didn't want to be idle for a month or two, so while he was on his way, he and the old patriarch Zhou Minghan learned the "sword control technique" that only monks in the foundation period could practice.

The so-called "sword control technique" does not refer to a single spell, but generally refers to the magic technique of controlling flying swords.

The real name of the "Flying Star Sword Art" in the Zhou family's collection should be "Flying Star Sword Art". The flying sword can greatly increase the power of the flying sword and generate various changes.

Ordinary foundation-building monks can only learn the first level of "Flying Star Sword Art", and only those foundation-building monks with outstanding talents can learn the second level of "Flying Star Sword Art" during the foundation building period.

As far as Zhou Yang knows, the reason why Chen Pingan of the Chen family was able to kill the third-level top-grade monster "Gold Swallowing Toad" with a single sword was that besides the fact that the flying sword in his hand was a fourth-level magical weapon, he had already killed Chen Ping'an. The family's Yujianfajue has reached the second floor.

The first level of "Flying Star Sword Art" is not difficult to learn. According to the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, it took him about a year to learn the first level of the sword art.

But Zhou Yang benefited from the sharply increased spiritual consciousness after the foundation was established, and the old patriarch taught him by precept and example along the way. When the team just returned to the Yuquan Lake Oasis, he successfully practiced the first level of the sword art.

Depressed, recently there have been a lot of trolls who started spraying without reading carefully. I really want to spray back with my bad temper! But I was afraid of leaving a bad image for later readers, so I had to ignore it, or even delete his comment (Chapter 57)! It's too difficult for me... Finally, let's talk about the plot. When I go home this time, farming will start, and some things that have been laid out before will slowly unfold.
