Cultivation Begins From The Desert

The Guo family in Tongcheng is nothing more than a small Jindan family!

This kind of Jindan family may be considered rich and powerful in the eyes of ordinary monks, but in the eyes of monks in the Nascent Soul Stage, they can be destroyed with a snap of a finger and are not worth mentioning.

Zhou Yang said that he wanted to settle accounts with the Guo family. In fact, he didn't really hate the Guo family, but just because he didn't want people to feel that he was easy to bully.

After all, just like what he said to Guo Congyun, if other people knew that the Guo family had hired a murderer to kill him, but he had no intention of retaliating back, wouldn't everyone dare to underestimate him?

And his original intention of finding the Guo family to settle accounts was not to really destroy the whole family, at most it was to punish the chief villain and kill those Guo family Jindan monks.

Of course, for the Guo family, if they lose the pillar Golden Core cultivator, even if the family is not destroyed, it will not be much better.

Under such circumstances, it didn't seem surprising that the Guo family was willing to sacrifice a top-grade spirit stone for their lives.

It's just that Zhou Yang wondered how the little Guo family could get such a treasure as the top-grade spirit stone.

Just looking at Liu Yunxiang of Suyun Sect, who is still running around for a top-grade spirit stone, one can know how rare this thing is.

This thing is the real price but no market, and it is not something that ordinary people and ordinary forces can have.

"Guo Congyun, it's not that I look down on your Guo family, but you, the Jindan family, can get such treasures as top-grade spirit stones? Someone in Zhou Dynasty was so bullying!"

Zhou Yang narrowed his eyes and looked at Guo Congyun with a cold expression, his expression was very dangerous.

When Guo Congyun was watched by him like this, he felt as if he was being targeted by some scourge. The hairs all over his body stood upright, and his body was tense to the extreme.

He hurriedly kowtowed and explained: "Senior Mingjian, this junior will never dare to lie to seniors. That top-quality spirit stone was obtained by an ancestor of our Guo family from a certain ancient cave, and it has been kept in the family as an inheritance. .”

"The ancestors once made a last word that if there is no Nascent Soul cultivator in the Guo family, this thing will not be made public for a day, so very few people know about this thing, only the heads of the Guo family and the first elder know!"

It sounds reasonable and logical.

In ancient times, spiritual objects were abundant, and there were far more giant spiritual stone mines than now. At that time, monks in the Nascent Soul stage could even use top-quality spiritual stones as spiritual objects for cultivation to improve their cultivation.

Nowadays, many rare and rare spiritual objects in the world of cultivating immortals can only be obtained from the secret caves left by some ancient monks, and it is difficult to find them from the outside world.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yang's face softened slightly, and he couldn't help but looked at him and asked, "Since your ancestor of the Guo family obtained that top-grade spirit stone from the ancient monk's cave, then there must have been other equally rare treasures at that time, right?"

Guo Congyun didn't deny it when he heard the words, and nodded repeatedly: "What the senior said is very true. At that time, the ancestors did discover some equally rare treasures, but those treasures have been sold and replaced by my Guo family over the years. , only this top-grade spirit stone has been preserved, and it is prepared to be used to cultivate sixth-order spirit veins if there are Nascent Soul cultivators in the family in the future!"

There is nothing wrong with this answer. For today's cultivators, isn't the greatest use of top-grade spirit stones to cultivate sixth-order spirit veins?

But it was just like this that made Zhou Yang feel something was wrong.

The answer is so straightforward and decisive, so logical, as if it has been prepared for a long time!

There was a flash of light in his eyes, and he stared deeply at Guo Congyun with deep meaning in his eyes and said, "Is this really the case? Do you know what will happen if you deceive a Nascent Soul cultivator!"

When Guo Congyun heard his words, he immediately lowered his head, and responded with a respectful voice: "I dare not, what I said is true and there is absolutely no falsehood. If I don't believe it, I can swear with my Dao heart." prove yourself!"

Dao heart swear?

You are a dying person with a life span of less than twenty years, who can you trust in your Dao Xin vow?

Zhou Yang sneered in his heart.

But he didn't pursue the matter any further, he just nodded slightly and said: "In this case, I will give you Guo family another chance, I hope you can take care of yourself this time, and don't make mistakes!"

"Thank you senior, thank you senior! Senior is very kind and virtuous, and this junior and the Guo family are very grateful. I will personally take out that top-quality spirit stone and give it to senior when I go back!"

Guo Congyun kowtowed again and again, his face full of rejoicing for his survival after the catastrophe.

When he walked out of Zhou Yang's cave and his mind relaxed, he realized that his back was dripping with cold sweat, and the wind from the mountain gave him a bone-piercing chill.

He couldn't help trembling slightly, turned his head and glanced at the gate of the cave behind him, a strong look of fear flashed in his eyes, and then hurriedly left Huohuashan without daring to stay longer, and hurried back to Guo's house Take that top-quality spirit stone.

Three months later, Guo Congyun brought the top-grade spirit stone to Huohua Mountain again and handed it over to Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang accepted this top-quality spirit stone, and promised on the spot that he would not pursue the matter of the Guo family hiring a murderer to kill him, and put this matter to an end.

"This can be regarded as a surprise!"

Inside the cave, Zhou Yang was playing with the top-quality metallic spirit stone presented by Guo Congyun, with a smile on his face.

I got a top-quality spirit stone without paying any price. If other Nascent Soul cultivators knew about it, I'm afraid they wouldn't be envious or jealous.

It just so happened that after using the sixth-order puppet many times, the spiritual power of the top-grade spirit stone in his body had been consumed by nearly half. Even if Zhou Yangdang took out the spirit stone and buried it in the cave to absorb the spirit energy and restore the spirit power, The newly obtained top-grade spirit stone was placed in it.

As for cultivating sixth-order spiritual veins with top-quality spiritual stones, Zhou Yang has no plans to do so for the time being.

He has Huohuashan Cave Mansion and the secret mansion [Donglai Immortal Island], and there is no shortage of places to practice.

Moreover, Chongxuan Mountain is not a good place to cultivate sixth-order spiritual veins. It is too close to the territory of the "Six Dao League", so it can be said to be a front-line place.

If Chongxuan Mountain is promoted to the sixth level, it means that in the event of a war, it is almost impossible for Zhou Yang and the Zhou family to abandon this sixth-level spiritual mountain, and a large number of people must be invested to defend this spiritual mountain.

Zhou Yang didn't want to lock himself up with the Zhou family like this.

What's more, as long as he has the best spirit stone in hand, he can cultivate the sixth-order spirit vein whenever he wants, and there is no need to be in a hurry.

"However, this Guo family still needs to be investigated. Their top-grade spirit stones were obtained from the caves of ancient monks. If this is not the case, then..."

There was a flash of light in his eyes, and Zhou Yang quickly wrote a book and sent it to Xuanyang Xianzong, asking the professional intelligence personnel of Xuanyang Xianzong to help him investigate the information about the Guo family's fortune in the early years of Tongcheng, and investigate some of the Guo family's big transactions over the years. data of.

This will take a long time, because the Guo family is not a big force, and it was impossible for Xuanyang Xianzong to collect much information about them before.

But as long as Xuanyang Xianzong wants to investigate, there must be a way to investigate these materials through various means.

For example, the simplest way to investigate information is to bribe the internal monks of the Guo family to bring out the family history and travel notes of the ancestors revised by the Guo family themselves.

Originally, these things were left to the people of the Zhou family, which would make Zhou Yang feel more at ease.

But the Zhou family has just started in the world of cultivating immortals in Liuyunzhou, and their hands can't reach that far. It's okay for Zhou Yang to ask those monks of the Zhou family to go to various fairy cities to help him collect some materials. It's hard to be human.

It seemed that all the bad luck had been dissipated in the battle with the Yulong family. In the next few years, one piece of good news spread to Zhou Yang's ears.

First, after several years of dormancy, his spiritual pet, the Golden Winged Thunder Eagle, finally successfully digested ten drops of [Lei Peng True Blood], so he was promoted to a fifth-level middle-grade monster, and successfully awakened Lei Peng Bloodline, strength and potential have all been greatly enhanced.

Then his Taoist companion Xiao Ying, after successively refining several [Yimu Lingzhu], also successfully cultivated and further reached the eighth level of Jindan, and her alchemy skills are also steadily improving, and she has already begun to try to refine five It's a high-grade panacea.

And Li Hong, who came to Liuyun Island to cultivate immortals with him, has steadily raised his cultivation to the ninth floor of the Purple Mansion, and is preparing to retreat to the Jindan stage after witnessing his Nascent Soul Ceremony.

Finally, his other spiritual pet [Water-avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast] devoured Lou Feifeng Yuanying, the owner of the Goddess Palace a few years ago, and now there are some signs of evolution, and it seems that it is really expected to be promoted to the sixth-level demon king!

[Water-avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast] If it can be promoted to the sixth-level demon king, it will not benefit Zhou Yang too much.

Therefore, as soon as he found signs of evolution on this beast, he immediately released it from the [Linglong Jade Bracelet], let it sleep in a special training room in the cave, and took the only six remaining in his hand. [Ancient Blood Lotus] The lotus seeds were divided into three for him to take, to help his blood transform.

It's just that it usually takes tens of years for a fifth-level monster to be promoted to a sixth-level monster king. Zhou Yang doesn't know whether this [Water-avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast] can successfully advance, and how long it will take to succeed.

Not long after this, Zhou Yang's Nascent Soul Ceremony was about to begin.

The place where the Nascent Soul Ceremony was held this time was on Huohua Mountain, and it was jointly organized by the Zhou family and Xuanyang Xianzong.

This Huohua Mountain is a sixth-level spiritual mountain that Xuanyang Xianzong has operated for six to seven thousand years. The area on the top of the mountain is where the monks' caves in the Yuanying stage are located. The monks practicing on the top of the mountain will not be disturbed.

Since Zhou Yang moved here to practice, the Xuanyang Immortal Sect Yuanying monks who were guarding here moved back to Xuanyang Peak. Only three Jindan stage monks practiced in the cave on the mountainside and were responsible for guarding Lingshan.

Knowing that Zhou Yang was going to hold the Nascent Soul Ceremony here, most of the Xuanyang Immortal Sect monks who practiced on Huohua Mountain moved to other places, and a large number of Zhou family monks came here early to arrange the venue.

When the day of the grand ceremony came, the guests attending the grand ceremony who had arrived in a fairy city not far from Huohuashan early in the morning rushed to Huohuashan to enter the venue.

There is also particularity in admission, the lower the level of cultivation and the younger the monks, the more they have to come early. On the other hand, those monks in the Nascent Soul stage, even if they have a good relationship with Zhou Yang, they still have to wait for the last time to arrive.

Similarly, Zhou Yang didn't need to come out to greet the guests who were below the Nascent Soul stage, naturally his Taoist companion Xiao Ying brought her apprentice Lu Xuewei and son Zhou Guangcheng to come out to greet and entertain them.

Of course, regardless of whether the visitor is high or low, congratulatory gifts are essential.

The situation of gift giving is the same as when Zhou Yang participated in the 800th birthday of the ancestor of the Qin family in the Immortal Cultivation Realm in the far west. The history is over.

And if the weight of the congratulatory gift is not light, there will be a special monk to sing it to make it famous.

The more expensive the gift, the more monks will sing, up to thirty-six.

If someone gave a gift that could make all 36 people sing, then according to the rules, no matter how high or low the comer was, the host Zhou Yang would personally thank him and welcome him to the main venue of the celebration at the top of the mountain.

However, these were all aimed at the monks below the Nascent Soul stage, and the Nascent Soul stage monks came to give gifts. No matter how valuable or not, the gifts were accepted by Zhou Yang himself on the spot.

"Luo Yuyang, head of the Liyan Sect, presents a congratulatory gift on behalf of the Liyan Sect, a low-grade fifth-grade elixir [Millennium Fire Ganoderma lucidum], congratulations to Senior Zhou on his early ascension to the fairyland, and his eternal blessing!"

"Sun Yuanlong, the Patriarch of the Medicine King Sect, presented a congratulatory gift on behalf of the Medicine King Sect, a fifth-rank high-grade panacea [Taiyi Qingling Pill], congratulations to Senior Zhou on his early ascension to the fairyland, and his eternal blessing!"

"Tan Weizhen, the grand elder of the Tan family of the Daoxuan Kingdom, presented a congratulatory gift on behalf of the Tan family. Seven taels of the fifth-order spiritual item [Bailing musk], congratulations to Senior Zhou on his early ascension to the fairyland, and his eternal blessing!"

"Wu Daoyuan, head of the Changqing Sect, presented a congratulatory gift on behalf of the Changqing Sect. The fifth-order spiritual object [Blood Pattern Purple Gold] weighs two ounces a catty. Congratulations to Senior Zhou for his early ascension to the fairyland and eternal blessings!"

...

On Huohua Mountain, monks from the Zhou family sang one after another, endlessly.

For those small and medium sects and Jindan families, the monks with the highest cultivation level of their own sects and families came to congratulate them personally to express their importance to this matter.

Naturally, these people came here on behalf of a certain power, and the congratulatory gifts they gave would not be shabby, at least they were fifth-order spiritual objects, and spiritual objects lower than this level would not have the nerve to show them at all.

These fifth-order spiritual objects are of great use to monks in the golden core stage, and their value is not low.

But in this kind of Nascent Soul Ceremony, it is a common thing. The number of monks from the Zhou family who sang "Nao" has never exceeded nine.

When Zhou Yang on the top of the mountain heard the singing, his expression didn't change a single bit, as if he hadn't heard it.

It is hard for outsiders to imagine how rich his net worth is now.

The spiritual objects that want to move his face not only need to be at least level six, but also have to be rare and hard to find.

"[Liuyun Business Alliance] Guo Congyun, the elder of the Guo family, presented a congratulatory gift on behalf of the Guo family, a piece of the sixth-order spiritual object [Ten Thousand Years of Flame Jade]. Congratulations to Senior Zhou for his early ascension to the fairyland and eternal blessings!"

"[Liuyun Merchant Alliance] Liu Xuanzhen, the grand elder of the Liu family, presented a congratulatory gift on behalf of the Liu family. One or two of the sixth-order spiritual object [Tiangang Silver], congratulations to Senior Zhou on his early ascension to the fairyland, and his eternal blessing!"

When the sun was three poles high and the number of Golden Core stage monks who came had exceeded a hundred, the Zhou family's chanting monks' voices on Huohua Mountain suddenly rose a lot, and they rang out one after another, and it took a total of seventeen or eight chants before it ended.

Swipe!

When the monks who arrived on the mountain heard the singing, they all looked down the road in surprise, their eyes full of shock.

Everyone knows how precious sixth-order spiritual objects are.

It is a treasure that even the monks in the Nascent Soul stage need to rely on chance and strength to obtain it.

Now the monks of the two Jindan family gave this treasure to others as a gift for nothing, how can this not surprise those who don't know.

Um?

The expression on Zhou Yang's face finally changed slightly. He looked at the two figures climbing up the mountain together, and shook his head slightly, but he didn't say a word.

Obviously, the Guo family and the Liu family sent such heavy gifts to make amends for the murder of him back then.

The Guo family had already paid him a top-quality spirit stone in private, and now they are offering a [Ten Thousand Years Flame Jade] openly. As long as he has some face, he will be ashamed to embarrass the other party in the future.

The Liu family was considered an accomplice when they tipped off the Guo family back then. This time, it is estimated that Guo Congyun said something to him after he returned, and then offered a rare spiritual object such as [Tiangang Silver] to make amends.

To be honest, Zhou Yang could forgive even the Guo family, but he really didn't care about the little Liu family.

But since the Liu family took the initiative to offer gifts to make amends, he would not refuse.

When the two people came to the mountain, he just glanced at them, nodded slightly, and considered that the matter had been revealed.

Afterwards, many monks came to present well-prepared congratulatory gifts one after another, but no matter how rare those congratulatory gifts were, they were only within the fifth rank, and it was difficult to see sixth rank spirits.

After waiting like this until almost noon, the Nascent Soul stage monks finally began to appear.

"My concubine also congratulates Fellow Daoist Zhou on his early ascension to the fairyland and his success in the Dao. A small gift is not a respect, and I hope Fellow Daoist Zhou will not hold you back."

The first Nascent Soul cultivator to arrive was none other than Liu Yunxiang of the Suyun Sect. She flew over from outside the mountain on a cloud, and as soon as she reached the sky above Huohua Mountain, she threw a magic weapon of a flower basket into the air. Countless colorful petals fell from the sky, and the fragrance of flowers filled the entire Lingshan Mountain.

And the gift she prepared was Suyun Sect's specialty spirit wine [Queen Bee Brewing], and there were five altars in total.

"Liu Daoyou is too polite, please take a seat."

Zhou Yang stretched out his hand with a smile, and after receiving the gift, invited him to sit on the table.

As soon as Liu Yunxiang sat down, Master Qingyang also came riding a bull. Before the man arrived, he laughed loudly on the bull's back: "Hahaha, the old Taoist wanted to be the first to come over to congratulate Zhou Xiaoyou." , I didn't expect that Fairy Liu would take the lead, it seems that the old Taoist can only overwhelm Fairy in the gift, and earn back this face!"

Before the laughter fell, the one-horned green bull had already carried Master Qingyang to the top of the mountain.

The green bull landed on the ground, Master Qingyang jumped off the bull's back, waved his mount into the spirit beast ring, and then took out a jade box and handed it to Zhou Yang with a smile: "Little friend Zhou, thank you for finding an old Taoist." For such a good apprentice, this [Nine Suns Sky Fire Talisman] is an accidental work of a veteran master, so I gave it to my little friend as a congratulatory gift!"

"Senior Qingyang is too polite. It is his blessing that Guangcheng is able to worship senior as his teacher. This junior should thank senior for this matter."

Zhou Yang stretched out his hand to accept the congratulatory gift, responded modestly with a respectful word, and led his hand: "Senior Qingyang, please sit here."

When Master Qingyang was seated, a gust of breeze blew over the top of the mountain, and there was another Nascent Soul cultivator on Huohua Mountain. He was Li Fufeng, the Nascent Soul cultivator of Yuqing Daozong who had killed Yulong Xinghe together with Zhou Yang that day .

"Thanks to the alchemy and elixir provided by Zhou Daoyou, Junior Brother Yulong was able to keep his cultivation and path. The remaining one [Blood Lotus Reincarnation Pill] was specially asked by the poor Daoist to give to Daoist as a gift. Please be sure to accept it, fellow Taoist.”

"Well, Pindao is shy in his pocket, and he didn't prepare any gifts. If you need to arrange some formations in the future, Zhou Daoyou, you can go to Yuqing Daozong to find Pindao. Pindao has some skills in this regard."

Li Fufeng appeared on the mountain, stroked his long beard under his chin lightly, and handed a jade box to Zhou Yang with a smile, explaining his congratulatory gift.

He is a sixth-order formation master, if Zhou Yang invites him to set up a formation, he must arrange a sixth-order formation, this gift is not light at all.

Zhou Yang immediately laughed and said: "Hahaha, the words of fellow Daoist Li are better than any gift. Zhou has thanked fellow daoist here in advance, and fellow daoist invites you to take a seat here."

After Li Fufeng arrived, the remaining Nascent Soul cultivators from the Xuanyang Immortal Sect and the Yuqing Dao Sect also showed up to present congratulatory gifts. The experienced [Real Yujing] three people were not present.

Then [Reverend Bailu], who had dealt with the Yulong family together at that time, also rushed to the mountain and gave him a congratulatory gift that was neither light nor heavy.

These people are basically all the Nascent Soul cultivators that Zhou Yang has contacted in the Immortal Cultivation World of Liuyunzhou, and they are also the Nascent Soul cultivators that he is sure to attend this Nascent Soul Ceremony.

The Nascent Soul cultivators who can come in the future are those who are really willing to sell his face, and they are worthy of his heart to make friends with.

What Zhou Yang, Master Qingyang and others did not expect was that the first strange Nascent Soul cultivator who came to the scene after [True White Deer] was not other Nascent Soul cultivators from [Xuan Qing Dao League], but a beast-familiar Zong Yuanying monk.

"Xu Hanwen, Emperor of the Beast, congratulations to Fellow Daoist Zhou Yuanying for his great achievement. A small gift is not a respect, so please accept it with a smile!"

On Huohua Mountain, Xu Hanwen, one of the two Nascent Soul cultivators of the Beast Sect, the "True Heavenly Snake" Xu Hanwen suddenly appeared riding his spiritual pet [Seraphim Serpentis] at the place where no one expected. up the hill.

In the new January, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass!
