Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Zhou Ronghua, Zhou Rongxiang, Zhou Shenghe and the three of them won both face and liking at the commendation meeting in the Zhou family ancestral hall.

Zhou Yang not only highly praised the three in front of the whole clan, and called on all the clan to learn from the three, but also informed everyone of his reward plan for the three.

This kind of real fame and fortune really made all the Zhou family members present envy and yearn for it.

The three of Zhou Ronghua, many of the monks here today know each other well. In the past, these three were in the Zhou family. Although they were considered good, there were also many people who were better than them.

But now the three of them just followed the ancestors of the family to the world of cultivating immortals in Liuyunzhou. After a great battle, they returned to their hometown and won such honors and awards. How can this not make those monks who are similar in generation envy them? envy.

Many younger Zhou family disciples made up their minds on the spot. After the meeting was over, they begged the patriarch to follow their ancestors to serve in the Immortal Realm of Liuyunzhou.

Even some older monks of the Zhou family are secretly thinking about whether they should take the risk to go out and fight for a bright future for future generations.

Zhou Yang saw all this in his eyes, and he was extremely satisfied in his heart, knowing that his purpose of doing so had been initially achieved.

Getting the Zhou family out of the boundless sea of ​​sand has always been his goal, but this immigration strategy must follow the principle of voluntariness and cannot be forced.

The outside world is wonderful, and the outside world is also dangerous.

From Zhou Yang's point of view, Zhou family monks who want to step out of the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea must first have the determination to dare to face death.

Due to geographical constraints, it is impossible for him to bring all the monks of the Zhou family to immigrate to the world of cultivating immortals in Liuyunzhou. Therefore, with the limited number of places, every monk who goes out must be an elite in the family.

Only when these elite monks gather together can they quickly and efficiently rebuild a powerful Zhou family in the world of cultivating immortals in Liuyunzhou.

"Now my Zhou family has a foundation in the world of cultivating immortals in Liuyunzhou. In the future, outstanding members of the family can take the initiative to apply to the family to go to the world of cultivating immortals in Liuyunzhou to experience and station. The world of cultivating immortals in Liuyunzhou is very prosperous. It's very dangerous, so I hope that when you apply to the family, you'd better consider whether you are ready to sacrifice your life for the family's great cause, and make a decision after careful consideration!"

Zhou Yang looked at those clansmen who showed yearning and hope, waved his hands, and said in a low tone: "Now, the clansmen who have cultivated below the foundation stage can leave first, and the clansmen who have cultivated at the foundation stage and the Zifu stage Stay here, Patriarch, I still have one big thing to announce to you!"

Hearing his words, those Zhou family monks in the Qi training period, although they were extremely curious about what the big thing he said, none of them dared to disobey the order of his family patriarch, and immediately retreated respectfully. go down.

After all these people left, Zhou Yang turned his gaze to Zhou Guangxiang who had not said a word today, shook his head lightly and said, "You should say it yourself."

"Nephew takes command."

Zhou Guangxiang responded in a low voice, then glanced at those Zhou family monks who were looking at him with surprised faces, closed his eyes, and said slowly: "I am guilty. As the head of the Zhou family, I know that I broke the law and used the family Give me the right to use power for personal gain, for..."

The audience was silent, only Zhou Guangxiang's regretful words echoed.

Regarding Zhou Shengyu's being sent away, for the sake of the stability of the clan, what Zhou Guangxiang told other monks in the clan before was to send him to study with Zhou Yang and his wife.

Because he is the patriarch, and it is indeed a great thing to be able to practice with Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the family who has cultivated in the Jindan stage, and the other Zhou family monks did not suspect anything.

Hearing his words of repentance at this time, all the monks of the Zhou family were stunned.

Zhou Guangxiang did not go to see those stunned members of the Zhou family, but continued to talk to himself: "Those who make meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and those who have done wrong will be punished. This is clearly written in the rules of my Zhou family. The head of the family, but he cannot be exempted because of this!"

"According to the clan rules, those who use power for personal gain can be punished with the punishment of abolishing their cultivation base and expulsion from the family. Zhou Guangxiang, as the head of the clan, took the lead in using power for personal gain. No heavy punishment is not enough to convince the public!"

"Therefore, the sinner Zhou Guangxiang hereby begs the Supreme Elder to deprive me of the position of patriarch and punish me with exile for a hundred years, as a warning to others!"

At the end, he had already knelt down facing the ancestral hall where the ancestral spirit tablets were stored in the Zhou family ancestral hall, and kowtowed deeply to the ground as an apology.

Until this time, the others finally recovered from this shocking change.

"Brother, brother, you..."

Zhou Guangxiang and Zhou Guangxiang are brothers and sisters who have lived together for hundreds of years. Among the monks present, she finds this scene the most difficult to accept.

She looked at her brother who was kneeling on the ground, her complexion changed drastically and she wanted to say something.

But before she finished speaking, she stopped suddenly, and turned her gaze to Zhou Yang.

She knelt down on the ground with a "plop", kowtowed heavily to Zhou Yang and begged, "Uncle Jiu, please be kind to Uncle Jiu, even if brother did something wrong, he doesn't need to be punished so severely! For the credit and hard work of the family, please forgive him once, my niece begs you!"

"Sister, get up, don't be rude to Uncle Jiu, I'm all to blame for this, I can't blame anyone, no need to say more!"

Zhou Guangxiang stopped his younger sister's behavior in a deep voice, and after kowtowing three times in a row to the ancestral hall, he raised his head and turned to face Zhou Yang, waiting for Zhou Yang to say the final judgment.

Zhou Yang did not look at him, but looked at the other members of the Zhou family, and said in a cold voice: "You have all seen and heard, Zhou Guangxiang, as the patriarch, made a mistake, so he needs to Being punished by the clan rules, if someone dares to do something against the clan rules by relying on his status and position in the future, he still needs to think about whether he can escape the punishment of the clan rules!"

Hearing the words, the Zhou family monks who were present were all frightened and knelt down on the ground, shouting repeatedly: "I dare not wait!"

"Dare or not, it's not as simple as words, but it depends on actual actions!"

"I watched Guangxiang grow up, and I even brought him up. In the past hundreds of years, I have been proud of him many times, but you have also seen it now."

"I hope you can learn from him and read the family rules several times after you go back. I don't want to see similar things in the future, otherwise I can tolerate you, and the family rules can't tolerate you either!"

After Zhou Yang said these words coldly, with a wave of his hand, he took the patriarch's token from Zhou Guangxiang's body into his hand.

"Now, it is up to you to witness together that I, as the elder of the Zhou family, will deprive Zhou Guangxiang of his position as the head of the Zhou family, and sentence him to be exiled to the world of cultivating immortals in Liuyunzhou for a hundred years!"

"Zhou Guangxiang accepts the crime." Zhou Guangxiang arched his hands to show that he had no objection.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang couldn't help continuing to say: "The family cannot live without a patriarch. Since Zhou Guangxiang no longer serves as the patriarch, he will choose a new patriarch among you according to the clan rules. Now you can speak freely and talk about what is in your mind. If you are a suitable candidate, then I will personally examine the school to determine whether it is suitable to be the head of the Zhou family."

Wow!

Hearing Zhou Yang's words, the expressions of the Zhou family monks in the ancestral hall immediately changed.

The last time the Zhou family changed the patriarch was more than two hundred years ago. More than 90% of the Zhou family monks here today were not born at that time.

Zhou Guangxiang has been the patriarch of the Zhou family since they were born, and with the lifespan of a monk in the Zifu period, as long as they fail to open up the Zifu, most of them will probably die before Zhou Guangxiang.

Therefore, many monks of the Zhou family dare not even think about the position of patriarch, and have no idea about it at all.

But now, the position of patriarch is vacant, and according to Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the Zhou family, they have to choose a new patriarch from among them monks in the foundation period. How can this not make them excited.

The Zhou family is now the overlord of the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea. Once they become the patriarchs of the Zhou family, even if they are still at the foundation stage, their status will surpass all the monks of the purple mansion stage other than the Zhou family, and they will be under a few people. Existence above all people.

And once you become the patriarch of the Zhou family, you will have great priority in exchanging the family's cultivation resources in the future. For treasures like [Purple Heart Chalcedony], the patriarch must be easier to exchange than other foundation-building monks.

Who wouldn't want such a good thing that has both face and face?

"Old ancestor, the younger generation is not talented, so I am willing to recommend myself to accept the examination of the old ancestor."

Soon, a Zhou Family Foundation Establishment monk plucked up the courage to stand up, bowed to Zhou Yang with a look of hope on his face, and recommended himself to him.

This person's cultivation base is not weak, he has the cultivation base of the seven foundations.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang's lips moved slightly, and the sound transmission test picked him up.

It can be clearly seen that after hearing the exam question asked by Zhou Yang's audio transmission, the Zhou family monk's complexion suddenly changed, and he muttered with hesitation on his face, but he couldn't answer.

After waiting like this for a while, Zhou Yang shook his head slightly and said, "Back off, you are not suitable."

The person's face paled immediately, and then he bowed his hands in shame and said: "The junior is incompetent, let the ancestor down." After speaking, he retreated.

Since then, countless people have been recommended by others, or they have also recommended themselves, and they all took turns to accept Zhou Yang's examination.

It's just that some of these people can pass Zhou Yang's one-question exam, but none of them can pass three questions in a row.

"Tong Xuan, you should try it too."

Among the crowd, Zhou Tongxuan, who was staring with envy at a monk from the Zhou family who came forward to accept Zhou Yang's assessment, suddenly heard someone calling him.

He looked back and saw his aunt Zhou Guangxiang looking at him, her eyes full of encouragement.

"I, can I? Father, he is..."

He pursed his lips in embarrassment, and didn't say the rest of the words, but he knew that his aunt must understand what he wanted to say.

Sure enough, after Zhou Guangxiang heard his words, he immediately shook his head and reminded him through voice transmission: "You underestimate Uncle Jiu's mind too much. Your father is your father, and you are you. Since he didn't say that you can't participate in the competition for the next job." Patriarch, it means that you can also acquiesce, if you dare not stand up, he will be completely disappointed in you!"

"My nephew understands. Thank you for your reminder, aunt. If it weren't for you, my nephew would have made a big mistake again!"

There was a flash of surprise in Zhou Tongxuan's eyes, and he nodded gratefully to Zhou Guangxiang, and then mustered up the courage to stand out.

When he took this step, he clearly felt the strange eyes of other clansmen looking at him.

He knew very well what those tribesmen were thinking now, but when he took this step, he was already mentally prepared.

What's more, after taking this step, although he didn't look back, he also clearly felt that his father Zhou Guangxiang's gaze fell on him. The meaning in that gaze was completely different from that of other clansmen.

It was a look full of hope and expectation, a father's most sincere expectation for his son.

Zhou Yang's gaze also changed slightly.

Although he had already planned in his heart to let Zhou Tongxuan take over the position of patriarch, he had never told anyone about this except Taoist companion Xiao Ying.

What Zhou Guangxiang said just now was correct, if Zhou Tongxuan didn't even dare to stand up today, Zhou Yang would be completely disappointed in him.

Zhou Yang doesn't need to care how strong his ability is, because with the current strength of the Zhou family, even if the patriarch is mediocre, it won't have much impact on the family.

But Zhou Yang didn't want the patriarch of the Zhou family to take any responsibility.

Zhou Guangxiang lost the position of patriarch because Zhou Tongxuan, the son of Zhou Tongxuan, used his power for personal gain. Even if Zhou Tongxuan didn't know it in advance, and even opposed it himself, as a son of man, he should stand up at this time, prove himself with practical actions, and tell others that he is not The kind of cowards and incompetent people who only hide behind their parents and enjoy their shadows!

Now that Zhou Tongxuan had stood up, Zhou Yang was also relieved, and there was no longer any embarrassment.

Immediately, he also took Zhou Tongxuan in the school exam, but the exam questions were replaced with some simple and easy-to-understand questions.

Zhou Tongxuan was not an idiot, from the simple questions Zhou Yang asked, he immediately understood the deep meaning, and looked at Zhou Yang in surprise and joy, his eyes were full of excitement.

"I'm giving you this opportunity because of the face of your father and your aunt, not how capable you really are. You must be aware of this."

"Of course, it would be even better if you can really make some achievements and let the ancestors and other members of the family truly recognize your ability."

"If there is such a day, your father's sacrifice for you will not be in vain!"

Zhou Yang looked at the agitated Zhou Tongxuan, and calmly said the somewhat cold words, then he did not look at Zhou Tongxuan's frozen face, and announced the result in a deep voice.

Many Zhou family monks present were dissatisfied with the result of Zhou Tongxuan being elected as the sixth generation patriarch of the Zhou family.

They are not fools, so how could they not see such an obvious inside story.

But dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and no one dares to object to the decision of Zhou Yang, the patriarch of the family.

Even Zhou Guangxiang, the five-generation patriarch who had been the head of the Zhou family for more than two hundred years, was dismissed by Zhou Yang, the patriarch of the family.

Originally, the position of patriarch was appointed by the previous patriarch or the highest authority in the family. Zhou Yang was very kind to give them a chance before.

Anyone who can't understand this point is really hopeless.

Next, Zhou Yang sent someone to pass down an order to call back all the scattered Zhou family monks in the qi training period back to the ancestral hall, and then handed over the token representing the patriarch to Zhou Tongxuan in front of these monks, and completed the ceremony. The handover of the position of patriarch.

I and others just went out for a trip, and the patriarch of the family changed, and those monks in the Qi training period naturally looked confused.

But seeing that the foundation-building monks of the family and the Zifu monks had no objections, of course none of the monks in the Qi training period dared to say anything.

Anyway, who is the patriarch?

As long as their welfare and offerings are not reduced, and their actual interests are not affected, whether the patriarch is Zhou Guangxiang or Zhou Tongxuan is really not a problem for monks at the bottom of the family.

"Ninth Uncle's great kindness, my nephew is hard to repay with a hundred deaths, and a hundred deaths are hard to repay!"

In the cave mansion, Zhou Guangxiang knelt down in front of Zhou Yang and kowtowed deeply, his face was full of tears, tears of gratitude.

It never occurred to him that Zhou Yang would use this method to help him fulfill his wish after depriving him of the position of patriarch.

This kind of ups and downs changes, even the cultivator of the Zifu period who has practiced for hundreds of years and held the power of the Zhou family for hundreds of years, no matter how difficult it is to maintain his mood, he couldn't help but shed tears of gratitude.

"You, you, if you knew today, why bother!"

"At the beginning, you told me that you wanted Tong Xuan to succeed you as the patriarch, and I didn't object. Why didn't you want to ask my opinion, and did such a stupid thing alone?"

"You really let me down!"

Zhou Yang looked at the weeping nephew with a look of hatred on his face, and he was angry, but he didn't deliberately suppress the anger in his heart, and started to curse angrily.

The so-called depth of love, responsibility.

How much he valued Zhou Guangxiang in the past, how disappointed and annoyed he was now.

Facing his scolding, Zhou Guangxiang also dared not answer with a face full of shame, but just lowered his head deeply, accepting it all in silence.

It was indisputable that he had done something wrong.

It doesn't matter whether he is obsessed with ghosts, or he thinks too much, the thing has already happened, and his punishment has already been made, no matter how many excuses he makes, it will be useless.

And after Zhou Yang scolded for a while, his anger also subsided a lot, he couldn't help but looked at him and waved his hands: "Okay, things have already happened, and it's useless to scold you again, then you should explain clearly to your son What the patriarch should do, follow me to the world of cultivating immortals in Liuyunzhou, if you can successfully form the alchemy, you will have the opportunity to return to the family to wash away the stains, otherwise you will be like this for the rest of your life!"

"Nephew understands, thank Uncle Jiu for your kindness!"

Zhou Guangxiang kowtowed three more times to thank him, and then he left the cave and concentrated on teaching his son Zhou Tongxuan how to be a patriarch.

In the next month, Zhou Yang conducted some individual interviews with those monks in the late foundation establishment period in the Zhou family to determine who could give them great support and help them open up the Purple Mansion.

After many conversations and school exams, he finally selected three Zhou Family Foundation Establishment monks as support objects.

The three Zhou Family Foundation Establishment monks are Zhou Rongfei, Zhou Rongzhen, and Zhou Shengfan. Among them, Zhou Rongfei and Zhou Rongzhen are on the ninth floor of Foundation Establishment, and they can try to open up the Purple Mansion at any time. It's not far away.

For Zhou Rongfei and Zhou Rongzhen, two foundation-building nine-story monks, Zhou Yang directly emptied their family contribution points, and then asked them to give them a [Purple Heart Chalcedony] to help them open up the Purple Mansion in the form of a loan.

As for Zhou Shengfan, the eighth-level foundation-building monk, Zhou Yang used the "Qianyang Xianguang" to help him purify the impurity erysipelas in his body, and then gave him a magic pill to help him advance to the ninth-level foundation building, and also gave him a [Purple Heart Chalcedony], to help him open up the Purple Mansion in the future.

After distributing three copies of [Purple Heart Chalcedony] in this way, Zhou Yang took out two other copies of [Purple Heart Chalcedony] and stored them in the Zhou family's blood treasure house, and put them together with the original one inside. By the way, he took millions of low-grade spirit stones and a dozen top-grade spirit stones from the family treasure house and put them in the bag for later use.

As for the other ten [Purple Heart Chalcedony], Zhou Yang didn't intend to put them in the family right now, and he didn't even tell anyone the news.

This kind of thing is not very precious to him, but it is very difficult to get so many at once.

If the monks in the family know that there are so many [Purple Heart Chalcedony] in the family, maybe someone will come up with some crooked ideas.

It would be better not to say it at all, just to set a standard for them.

The standard for exchanging [Purple Heart Chalcedony] formulated by Zhou Yang is very simple. Under normal circumstances, a foundation cultivator needs 200,000 family contribution points to exchange.

But if it is a top-rank spiritual root monk, or someone who is on the family's "hero list" like Zhou Ronghua, Zhou Rongxiang, Zhou Shenghe, as long as they pay half of the family's contribution points, they can exchange for a [Purple Heart Jade] in the form of a loan. marrow】.

This standard is the same as that of the top sects of Xuanyang Xianzong, which means that all Zhou family monks enjoy the treatment of disciples of top sects.

Zhou Yang is able to do this, and he is already worthy of anyone.

According to this standard, only Zhou Tongxuan, who has received a large number of family contribution points from Zhou Guangxiang and Zhou Guangxiang, is able to exchange all the money for a copy of [Purple Heart Chalcedony].

But even if the Zhou Guangxiang and Zhou Guangxiang brothers and sisters donated most of their family contribution points to him, because he had already used a copy of [Purple Heart Chalcedony] from his family last time, he was making up for this [Purple Heart Chalcedony]. After the contribution points are required, it is impossible for him to collect enough family contribution points to exchange for the third [Purple Heart Chalcedony] in the next hundred years.

It will take a long time for these family monks to open up the Purple Mansion to produce results, and even if the opening of the Purple Mansion is successful, it will still take a lot of time to practice supernatural powers and stabilize the realm.

So Zhou Yang did not stay in the family to wait for the results, but waited for Zhou Guangxiang for three months, and after he finished teaching his son, he brought Zhou Guangxiang, Zhou Ronghua, Zhou Rongxiang and other seven Zhou family monks back to Liuyun Island Cultivation world.

There is really nothing to write about on the family side, and there is nothing new to write in the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea. The time span of the next plot will begin to increase. Shahai Xiuxian world, or the improvement of the protagonist's cultivation, will be explained and summarized in a few chapters, and then the new plot will officially start, and the protagonist will move towards the new plot of the Nascent Soul Stage!
