Because of the upcoming war, the resources in the market have been greatly reduced, and the prices have also increased a lot.

Zhou Daocheng only had 20 medium-grade spirit stones left, but in order to improve his strength as soon as possible, he still gritted his teeth and used medium-grade spirit stones to buy materials.

In the end, he bought all the materials at a price 30% higher than the market price, but almost all the spirit stones on his body were consumed.

However, after Meng Yueshan had the first-grade upper-grade [Quick Sand Formation], his strength was indeed greatly improved, much stronger than the same-grade strongmen.

Moreover, Zhou Daocheng also strongly requested him to learn the "Quick Sand Technique". The formations and spells with matching attributes cooperated with each other. As long as there was no foundation-building strongman, Meng Yueshan would hardly meet an opponent.

Lin Yuan had three spiritual roots of water, wood, and gold, among which the wood and gold spiritual roots were stronger, but he was practicing a water-attributed technique, which was actually not suitable.

Zhou Daocheng considered for a long time, and finally used the remaining first-grade upper-grade yellow thorn vine to make a set of [Golden Spear Hundred Vine Formation] for him.

Without spells, and with attributes that are not fully compatible, his strength is relatively weaker than Meng Yueshan's.

However, if it is just to deal with casual cultivators, the strength of the two is enough.

In addition, for the safety of the two, Zhou Daocheng also prepared two sets of [Splitting Gold Formation] for each of them as a backup to avoid accidents.

When everything was ready, more than half a month had passed.

The turmoil on the western border of Qingshan Sect has begun to radiate to the entire Qingshan Sect area.

For a time, the territory of Qingshan Sect was in turmoil, and all forces felt great pressure and began to leave backups in secret.

Therefore, there are many casual cultivators around Baihefang City, which is far away from the center of the vortex and in a relatively remote location.

Even near Bailin Lake, casual cultivator teams occasionally began to appear, which had never happened before.

It is obvious that the density of casual cultivators around has increased a lot.

For this reason, Zhou Daocheng also accelerated the process, allowing Meng Yueshan and Lin Yuan, who were well prepared, to officially leave the valley and resume their former casual cultivator life.

Back then, when the two disappeared from the casual cultivators, they were only at the eighth level of Qi Refining. Now that they reappeared, they had broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Once they appeared, they attracted the attention of many people. Some casual cultivators who had known the two also wanted to join their team.

However, Meng Yueshan and Lin Yuan left this time with Zhou Daocheng's mission - to form a strong team that can be absorbed into the valley!

Since the number of times the spiritual secret method can be used is limited, it is necessary to select casual cultivators with strong strength, high talent, or special skills.

Therefore, these crooked melons and cracked dates were naturally rejected by them, and they chose to recruit casual cultivators with better quality.

It must be said that the attraction of the two ninth-level Qi Refining masters among casual cultivators is much greater than imagined.

The two quickly integrated into the casual cultivator group, and many casual cultivators with good quality found the two, hoping to form a hunting team together.

It's just that Zhou Daocheng didn't know much about these things. He was still hiding in the valley at the moment, secretly practicing and developing.

This period of time was quite busy. First, he prepared the medicinal bath formula, then he had to prepare for Meng Yueshan and Lin Yuan's outing, and he had to find time to teach the children, which consumed a lot of his time.

So, when the valley and Bailin Lake calmed down, Zhou Daocheng also resumed his practice.

The last time he went to Baihefang City, he spent more than 6,000 spirit stones, of which he bought a lot of earth-attributed practice resources, which happened to be all available now.

In the underground cave, Zhou Daocheng sat cross-legged on the ground, with earth-attributed practice resources piled in front of him.

There were more than 20 of the most common earth essence grass, but Zhou Daocheng did not absorb them, but carefully planted them around the practice room to enhance the surrounding earth-attributed spiritual energy.

Rehmannia glutinosa essence, white yin soil, the skin of earth scale flower insects, the essence and blood of earth armor beasts... These can all help to improve strength.

It's just that the varieties are more complicated, so it is necessary to use the "Wu Tu Kun Yue Gong" to refine them many times, and finally transform them into pure Wu Tu spiritual energy.

In just a few days, the strength has improved a lot.

Finally, there is a first-class top-grade pill, the Condensing Qi Pill, which can increase the mana of the late-stage Qi Refining cultivator by 30%. It is very expensive and cost a lot of spirit stones to buy it.

After Zhou Daocheng refined it, his strength increased again by a large margin, directly reaching the late stage of the eighth stage of Qi Refining, and his aura quickly stabilized, almost touching the threshold of the peak of the eighth stage of Qi Refining.

Next, he only needs to practice slowly and use time to precipitate the aura. If everything goes well, he can break through in about one to two years.

While Zhou Daocheng was concentrating on practicing, his second sister Zhou Daoyue had already returned to the Zhou family in Shenlin Mountain.

He gave the medicinal bath formula and the letter to the head of the family, Zhou Changyi.

Zhou Changyi was also half-believing and half-doubting about the effect of the medicinal bath formula, but thinking that it was sent back by Zhou Daocheng, he became cautious.

This grandson has more secrets than he imagined. The last time the spiritual honey had already opened his eyes, so he did not dare to underestimate the medicinal bath formula this time.

As for the matter of transferring the clan members, Zhou Changyi made a decision immediately after just a little thought.

Since Zhou Daocheng was willing to take the clan members over and said there was a place for them to stay, he could only choose to believe it.

Moreover, transferring some of the clan members over would indeed be safer and more conducive to the development of the family.

Zhou Changyi did not hesitate in selecting personnel. He directly selected half of the most valuable weapon refiners in the family and asked Zhou Daoyue to take them back.

In addition, during this period, the family's mortals prospered and many Dao-generations were born.

Therefore, a group of children with higher talents were also transferred, of which 4 had three spiritual roots and had higher cultivation talents.

There were also 3 children with four spiritual roots, but they had some talents in refining equipment. They happened to follow the equipment refiners and might be able to train a group of equipment refiners for the family.

So, there were a total of seven children.

In recent years, the number of Dao-generations in the Zhou family has continued to increase, and now there are 23 people. These are the future of the family, the roots of a towering tree.

And now, Zhou Daocheng alone has assigned 9 people, and they are all children with higher talents.

This is enough to show that the head of the family has almost unconditional trust in his eldest grandson. And the focus of the family's future is also moving to Bailin Lake.

After the arrangements were made, the group left Shenlin Mountain in a mighty manner and set off towards Bailin Lake.

Half a month later, when Zhao Yunzhi saw more than a dozen Zhou family members, she was also shocked.

The underwater cave was secret, and Zhao Yunzhi did not dare to arrange them to live there at will, so they could only live on the island temporarily.

After more than ten days, Zhou Daocheng absorbed all the earth-attributed cultivation resources, and his strength reached the peak of the eighth level of Qi Refining in one fell swoop. When he successfully came out of retreat, he was notified by Zhao Yunzhi to come and deal with it.

Looking at the six elders of the weapon refiners and the seven descendants of the Dao generation, Zhou Daocheng was also quite surprised. He did not expect that the head of the family actually sent all the elites of the family here.

"Meet Brother Daocheng!"

"Meet the third elder!"

Zhou Daocheng was also shocked by the address of the group.

He had just come to Bailin Lake not long ago, how could he have the title of the third elder?

If he remembered correctly, only the clan members who reached the ninth level of Qi Refining could be honored as elders by the family, and he was obviously not qualified.

After careful inquiry, Zhou Daocheng knew that the head of the family, Zhou Changyi, promoted him to the elder of the family after he left.

Of course, the reason was also very sufficient.

In the Zhou family today, there are only two ninth-level Qi Refining masters, the head of the family Zhou Changyi and the eldest brother Zhou Daobai, and Zhou Daocheng has a top-grade iron-backed wild bear of the first level, so it is natural for him to become the third elder.

Zhou Daocheng was also quite helpless about this. It seemed that the head of the family was determined to hand over the family to the descendants of the "Dao" generation.

As a descendant of the Zhou family, he had to bear this responsibility.

Looking at the clan members in front of him, Zhou Daocheng couldn't help but feel a heavy responsibility in his heart, and took the initiative to say:

"Don't be polite, I will arrange accommodation for everyone. I'm sorry for all the trouble these days."

"Daocheng, there's no need to say that. The family has already told us before we left. After arriving at Bailin Lake, all matters will be arranged by you, Daocheng!"

An old man of the Chang generation said with a smile and a kind tone.
