Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Under the shock of Zhou Yang's strong personal strength and prestige, the Zhou family development plan formulated by Zhou Guangxiang was successfully implemented.

In a short period of time, these plans may not show any results, but with the fermentation of time, Zhou Yang and Zhou Guangxiang both believe and affirm that the Zhou family will benefit greatly from this, and the strength and quality of the family cultivators will reach a new level. .

What's more, giving a stick to a sweet jujube has always been Zhou Yang's usual method of family governance.

Here he just scolded and shocked all the clansmen, and then he gave Zhou Guangxiang an order to let him select those clansmen who made rapid progress in the future assessments to focus on training.

For those family cultivators who can pass the assessment three times in a row after reaching the middle stage of Qi training, they can even grant Foundation Establishment Pills in the form of loans.

In the past few years, when he retreated, Xiao Ying was not idle at all.

The spiritual herbs and elixir he brought from Kunxu Realm, in addition to some particularly precious things, were handed over to Taoist companion Xiao Ying for alchemy along with many fourth-order demon pills.

In just three years, Xiao Ying used the spiritual herbal elixir he gave, plus the spiritual herbal elixir in the Zhou family's inventory, to refine five pots of foundation building pills and several pots of fourth-order elixir.

With a large number of foundation-building pills in his hands, and the Zhou family is now the overlord of the boundless sand sea and immortal world, he also needs to maintain a certain number of foundation-building cultivators to support the scene, and Zhou Yang will not be stingy with a few spiritual pills.

Zhou Yang was no longer in charge of the specific affairs. After the family meeting, he returned to Lingxi Peak and retreated with Taoist companion Xiao Ying.

In this retreat, Zhou Yang wanted to use the power of "Ganyang Immortal Light" to help Taoist Companion Xiao Ying advance to the ninth floor of the Purple Mansion. At the same time, he also wanted to see if he could seize the time to make a breakthrough in his cultivation.

When Zhou Yang was in retreat, Zhou Guangxiang implemented a reform plan in a drastic manner.

The first is the production of clan clothes. The Zhou family has domesticated the "Flame Eating Spider" for more than 200 years, and a large number of finished spider silks have been accumulated in the family treasure house. After the family meeting, his Taoist companion Liu Xuanxuan personally led the Zhou family's three The Master Refiner refines it into a robe.

Then there is the expansion of manpower for the newly merged Gripen Hall.

This Griffin Hall was formed from the merger of the Zhou family's original battle hall and security hall. The number of monks at the entrance of the two halls added up to nearly 200 people, but to achieve Zhou Guangxiang's plan, this number is far from enough.

So in the next few years, the Zhou family either recruited Keqing to enshrine externally, or selected them from their own family and several vassal family cultivators, and gathered nearly a hundred people to join them.

The 300-person Ginger and Lion Hall is headed by Zhou Guangxiang's eldest son, Zhou Tongxuan, and the two deputy headmasters are also a recruited foundation-building cultivator Wang Biao and a Zhou family foundation-building cultivator Zhou Zerui.

However, these people are not the real strongest of the Griffin Hall. The real background of the Griffin Hall is the fourth-order low-grade monster Gryphon.

The griffin has been in the Zhou family for hundreds of years, and it has become accustomed to the worship of human monks. Even if Zhou Yang is not present, the animal trainers of the Zhou family can communicate with it and drive it to do things.

Zhou Yang put it into the Griffin Hall as a consecrated spirit beast in the Griffin Hall, just to give it a stage to play, and didn't want it to be eaten and drunk in the family.

You must know that feeding a fourth-order monster requires a lot of monster meat every year.

And the griffin beast has exhausted its potential after being promoted to the fourth-order monster, unlike Zhou Yang's golden-winged thunder eagle, there is still hope of being promoted to the fifth-order.

Speaking of which, Zhou Yang has never treated these spirit beasts in the slightest.

If the griffin hadn't followed him, it would have no hope of fourth-order.

And the golden-winged thunder eagle followed him, and it was even better to eat and drink. After returning to the family this time, Zhou Yang fed it two fourth-order middle-grade demon pills in one go, and now he is sleeping and refining in the spirit beast ring. Demon-turning Dan.

If there is no accident, when he wakes up again, he will be able to be promoted to the fourth-rank mid-rank monster.

Under Zhou Guangxiang's arrangement, hundreds of monks from the Griffin Hall, in groups of 20, were divided into five groups to inspect the traffic roads between the oases of the Zhou family in turn, specifically to combat those sand thieves who robbed the road, or Help some vassal families to eliminate the invading monsters.

After the five groups were inspected, another 100 people were inspected, and the three shifts kept rotating.

On the other hand, as the Zhou family officially became the overlord of the boundless sand sea cultivator world, the cultivator family and the loose cultivator who came to join them on their own initiative, one after another.

The Zhou family did not refuse the cultivators who came to seek refuge, and they all sent them to the surrounding sandy sea to find new oasis, or to build medium-sized oasis relying on small oasis.

Although the sand sea is barren, but in the vast sand sea, there are still many unowned oasis waiting for people to discover and occupy.

No one had ever discovered and occupied these oases before, because if they were far away from the base camp of immortal cultivators, even if they occupied the oasis, they would not be guaranteed safety, and it would be even more inconvenient to communicate with the outside world.

Now that the Zhou family provides safe shelter, and an oasis as big as Rhinoceros Island provides them with a place to exchange and trade, naturally some cultivators are willing to go to wasteland for adventure.

At the same time, Zhou Guangxiang also did a big thing, that is, the official excavation of the spirit stone mine discovered by Lu Xuewei.

As soon as the news of this spirit stone mine came out, it certainly caused a sensation in the entire boundless sand sea cultivator world. I don't know how many immortal clans secretly envied the good luck of the Zhou family, and they were able to discover the top mineral veins of the spirit stone mine.

After hearing the news, many loose cultivators even sharpened their heads and wanted to enter the Lingshi Mine as a miner.

In short, for the Zhou family, everything is developing for the better.

...

The biggest reason why Zhou Tongxuan was able to take the position of the head of the Eagle and Lion Hall with his cultivation level of the third floor of the Foundation Building was naturally because his father was the head of the Zhou family.

Zhou Guangxiang and Liu Xuanxuan now have a total of five sons and three daughters. Among them, there are only three sons and two daughters who have spiritual roots and are able to practice. However, Zhou Tongxuan, the eldest son, is the most talented person with spiritual roots.

He is a wind-type mid-grade spiritual root, his father is the head of the Zhou family, and his mother is the second apprentice of the family's ancestor. In terms of background, Zhou Tongxuan can be said to be the second generation of the top immortal in the boundless sand sea cultivating world.

As a top immortal second-generation, he has never worried about cultivation resources since he was a child, so even if he is not a high-grade spiritual root cultivator, he still reached the ninth level of Qi training at the age of thirty-one, and he is only lucky. After taking a foundation building pill, the foundation building is successful.

Compared with him, one of his younger brothers and one younger sister, although they also accumulated a lot of resources, cultivated to the ninth level of Qi training before the age of sixty, but after all, they were only able to build a foundation successfully because they were only low-level spiritual root aptitudes.

Although Zhou Guangxiang was the head of the Zhou family, a middle-stage cultivator of the Purple Mansion, and had many privileges within the family, it was impossible for him to use the entire family's resources to feed his children.

Being able to prepare a Foundation Establishment Pill for each of his daughters is already the greatest care he can take for these children.

While the other children seem to be hard to make, Zhou Tongxuan, the eldest son, can successfully establish a foundation in his thirties, which is naturally more valued by Zhou Guangxiang.

He hoped that his son Zhou Tongxuan could take over the position of Zhou family head from himself.

If Zhou Yang had left descendants, he would definitely not have this idea, but since Zhou Yang did not leave descendants, as the current patriarch of the Zhou family, he certainly hoped that his son could retain this position in the main line.

Therefore, after the Zhou family implemented new reforms this time, he took the opportunity to let his son sit in the position of the head of the Griffin Hall and take charge of the most elite armed force of the Zhou family, allowing him to take advantage of the opportunity of the Griffin Hall to inspect all parties. Accumulate fame and make some achievements to convince others.

Zhou Guangxiang naturally told his son Zhou Tongxuan about these plans, so after Zhou Tongxuan became the head of the Ginger Lion Hall, he often participated in the inspection team in person, and did not miss any opportunity to improve his reputation.

On this day, Zhou Tongxuan, who was returning to Lingxi Peak to rest after an inspection, suddenly received a task arranged by the patriarch, asking him to lead a team to the oasis where a vassal family is located, and help the vassal family solve an attack on the oasis. Tier 3 monsters.

The Zhou family has only occupied the area of ​​the Xijiao Cultivation World for more than a hundred years. Except for the monsters in the Xijiao Island and the surrounding area, which have been cleaned up by the Zhou family cultivators, the number of monsters in the sand sea outside is more than white. There are many more oases that have been developed for thousands of years in the Shahe Oasis Xiuxianjie.

This kind of monster attacking the oasis has happened frequently over the years, and the Zhou family's foundation-building cultivators have also often received this kind of monster removal task. Zhou Tongxuan had this experience when he was practicing Qi.

So after he received the task, he didn't think much about it, just regarded it as an ordinary task arranged by his father Zhou Guangxiang to help him accumulate fame.

But when he led a team of 20 people to the small oasis where the vassal family was located, he found that things did not seem to be as simple as he imagined.

According to the information he knew, the family name of the cultivator who occupied this small oasis was Yuan. There were one cultivator on the ninth level of qi training, one cultivator on the seventh level of qi training, three cultivators in the middle stage of qi training and six cultivators in the early stage of qi training.

Before he came, it was said that two of the Yuan family cultivators on this small oasis had already been killed, and the rest huddled in the third-order low-grade formation arranged by the Zhou family, waiting for the Zhou family to rescue them.

But when he came here, he found that the formation had already been broken, and the Yuan family cultivators had all disappeared without a trace, but some of the spiritual herbs and medicines planted on Lingshan were not damaged at all.

The most suspicious thing is that thousands of ordinary people from the Yuan family on the oasis have disappeared, but Zhou Tongxuan has not found even a trace of blood.

"It's not right. If it really is a monster attacking the oasis, even if everyone is eaten by it, there should be some blood on the ground, right?"

"Also, the Yuan family's mountain protection formation was originally arranged by the father himself. Even if the third-order monster in the news can break the formation, it is impossible to leave no trace!"

Zhou Tongxuan was acutely aware that something was wrong, and he couldn't help recalling the news he had received.

If I remember correctly, the news said that a wolf-type third-order monster attacked the oasis, because the Yuan family cultivator found a wolf claw mark near the scene of the disappearance of the tribe.

"Has any of you found wolf paw prints?"

He glanced at the twenty cultivators he brought with him, and asked the question in his heart.

Everyone shook their heads.

This small oasis is not very big. Twenty people move separately, and it is easy to search the entire oasis. If there are any demonic beast claws left, it is impossible for them, experienced cultivators, to not find it.

On the contrary, an old cultivator with an old face seemed to remember something, and suddenly said: "Hallmaster, my subordinates have not found wolf paw prints, but a large number of human footprints have been found in the west of the oasis, and the footprints lead all the way to the sand sea!"

"Really? Take me there to see."

Zhou Tongxuan's expression changed, and he even asked the old cultivator to lead the way.

Under the leadership of the old monk, the group quickly rushed to the west of the oasis and saw the footprints of the people he said.

I saw that on the soft sandy land west of the oasis, the footprints of countless people, big and small, lead all the way to the sand sea. It seems that a large group of humans once entered the sand sea from here.

"Why do these people enter the sand sea? Could it be that the vanishing mortals of the Yuan family escaped from here into the sand sea to avoid being hunted by monsters?"

Zhou Tongxuan looked at the dense footprints of people on the ground, and this guess flashed in his mind.

On the surface, this guess seems to be reliable. After all, it is normal for a group of mortals to choose to abandon the dangerous oasis and flee into the sand sea when all the cultivators who sheltered them are killed by the monsters.

wrong!

Since they were in a panic, they should have gone their separate ways to escape for their lives. How could they concentrate on a migration-style escape?

Zhou Tongxuan frowned, feeling that things would never be as simple as guessing by himself.

He pondered for a while, and then said to his subordinates: "Follow these footprints and search in the sand sea to see if you can find anything."

After he finished speaking, he paused again and added: "Be careful not to enter too deep into the sand sea, the strength of the enemy is unknown, and everything is to protect yourself."

Then, with a movement of the sword light under his feet, he flew to the Lingshan Mountain of the Yuan family, ready to search there again to see if there was anything that was missed.

What Zhou Tongxuan did not expect was that his decision, which was perfectly normal, would directly ruin the entire team!

When he searched the Yuan family's Lingshan Mountain and found nothing, he just discovered that none of his men who went to the sand sea to search for clues had returned.

What shocked and frightened him was that after Yu Jianfei searched in the direction where his subordinates left, he couldn't even see a trace of fighting skills, let alone the figures of those subordinates.

This is really no one alive, no dead body!

"Dangerous! Extremely dangerous! Father and family must be notified of this news immediately!"

Zhou Tongxuan hurriedly flew towards the Yuanjialing Mountain on the oasis. He remembered that the communication circle there had not been destroyed. Through the communication circle, he could directly pass the news to the family and ask the family to send a higher-level cultivator to rescue him. .

Long before Zhou Yang went to the extreme west, the Zhou family obtained the layout method of the communication circle from Huangshamen, and built a communication circle in each vassal family at all costs to facilitate contact.

The Yuan family was able to report the news of the monster attacking the oasis to the Zhou family in a timely manner, thanks to the help of the communication circle.

Otherwise, if the Zhou family wants to find out that the Yuan family has been destroyed, they don't know how long it will take.

However, the secret enemy seemed to have discovered Zhou Tongxuan's plan and quickly launched an attack on him.

At that time, Zhou Tongxuan, who was flying in mid-air, suddenly heard a wonderful sound of fairy music in his mind, and then the speed of his flying sword couldn't help slowing down, and gradually even landed toward the ground.

However, just when the enemy who secretly attacked him was about to kill him after he landed, a jade pendant magic weapon he was wearing suddenly released an icy aura straight to his forehead, helping him escape from that wonderful fairy. Wake up to the music.

"No, it's the magic of phantom sound!"

Zhou Tongxuan's complexion changed drastically when he woke up, and he immediately understood what the magical power of the fairy music he heard just now.

He didn't even bother to look for the enemy's location, he quickly stretched out his hand and patted the storage bag, took out a third-order "Soul Soul Talisman" and stuck it on his body before he had time to find the enemy.

Soon, he found the enemy who used the magic of phantom sound to attack him.

I saw in the sand sea below, a fox-headed and wolf-shaped beast that looked like a wolf like a fox, looking up at him with a surprised face, and the emerald green eyes were full of surprises.

"No, it's [Jade-faced Jackal]!"

Zhou Tongxuan looked at the pair of emerald green fox eyes, his whole body trembled, and he exclaimed in horror.

[Jade-faced Jackal] is a very rare monster, and its rarity is not below the [Three-Tailed Demon Fox] that Zhou Yang once killed.

This kind of monster is naturally proficient in the magic of phantom sound, and can use this magic to control monsters of the same rank or cultivators as slaves, and the wisdom of this monster is also very high, which is not in the least of human beings. Down.

The [jade-faced jackal] in front of Zhou Tongxuan was already a third-order high-grade monster, which was why he was easily distracted by his magic sound and fascination with no resistance just now.

If it wasn't for the jade pendant that he wore close to his body, it was a heart-clearing magic weapon specially crafted by his mother Liu Xuanxuan for this kind of ecstasy spell, and it helped him wake up from the ecstasy state in time. At this moment, he was afraid It has already fallen to the ground and became the food in the mouth of this [Jade-faced Jackal], just like his disappearing subordinates.

Thinking of those subordinates, his expression changed, and he had already guessed where those people went.

Sure enough, within a short while, after the [Jade-faced Jackal] recovered from his surprise, he saw his missing subordinates again.

I saw the [Jade-faced Jackal] growl lowly, and the soft sand in front of him bulged, from which a khaki giant python with a body length of over ten feet emerged. His subordinates, as well as the Yuan family Several unfamiliar monks of the monks were hanging on the back of the giant python at this moment.

It's just that these people have been controlled by [Jade-faced Jackal]'s phantom sound fascination technique, and are no longer under his command, and even when they appeared, they followed the order of [Jade-faced Jackal] and launched an attack on him.

The monks who can be selected into the Zhou Family Eagle Lion Hall are all the ruthless monks in the Qi training period. Although the twenty people are only Qi training monks, but they attack together, ordinary monks in the early stage of foundation building will also be in a hurry when they encounter them. , may not win.

If that's the case, then that's fine. Although Zhou Tongxuan's cultivation level is only at the third level of Foundation Establishment, he has so many treasures that even the late Foundation Establishment cultivators may not be his opponents.

But [Jade-faced Jackal], this third-order high-grade monster, and the third-grade high-grade monster python under its control, will not be just a spectator.

Especially [Jade-faced Jackal], although Zhou Tongxuan relies on the help of his mother Liu Xuanxuan's purifying tool and "soul talisman", he will not be controlled by his phantom sound fascination, but he will inevitably suffer some. interference.

And in battle, a little distraction can be fatal.

This is an extremely tough battle.

Zhou Tongxuan was under great pressure during the battle.

For him, the enemy's powerful strength is second, and the most unbearable thing for him is to kill those own subordinates and kill those cultivators of the same family.

He knew in his heart that although those people were controlled by [Jade-faced Jackal], they were actually still alive.

As long as someone can kill [Jade-faced Jackal], these people can release the control and return to normal.

But [Jade-faced Jackal] is so cunning, he doesn't fight him at all, and always hides behind the giant python and many human monks to attack him.

And as the battle went on, another Tier 3 rat demon and a Tier 3 demon wolf were summoned by [Jade-faced Jackal] to join the battle.

Although the two newly added monsters are only low-grade third-order monsters, Zhou Tongxuan can fight even if he has many spiritual talismans gifted by his parents and has precious third-order puppet beasts in the case of one enemy and many enemies. Extremely hard and tragic.

After the final battle lasted for more than half an hour, Zhou Tongxuan was forced into desperation and used the magic secret technique "Blood Boiling Technique" that Zhou Yang had used when he was facing a desperate situation, and used this secret technique to burn blood essence in exchange for mana. , stimulated two fourth-order attack talismans in a row, and with the power of the fourth-order magic talisman, he finally succeeded in killing the cunning [Jade-faced Jackal].

Although he killed the chaotic [Jade-faced Fox Wolf], Zhou Tongxuan was not happy at all.

Because before the death of [Jade-faced Jackal], those human monks controlled by him had already died under his same kind.

Moreover, he himself was injured in the battle. After using the "blood boiling technique", he was severely injured and lost his ability to move.

But he didn't dare to stay in place to heal his wounds, because the strong smell of blood on the battlefield easily attracted other monsters to come over, and his current state was afraid that even a second-tier high-grade monster could clean him up.

So he could only try his best to release a second-order wolf-shaped puppet, carrying himself to Yuanjialing Mountain on the small oasis.

When Zhou Yang ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ on Lingxi Peak received the news and rushed to the small oasis of the Yuan family, Zhou Tongxuan was already in a coma because of his serious injuries.

"Huh, fortunately, it was just that the blood was consumed too much and he passed out. Otherwise, this kid really has three strengths and two weaknesses, and Guangxiang's kid will probably feel guilty for the rest of his life because of this!"

Zhou Yang checked the situation of Zhou Tongxuan, who had passed out in a coma, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then remembering this junior's record this time, a smile appeared on his face.

Zhou Guangxiang wants to support his son to inherit the position of Zhou family head, he does not object, but the premise is that Zhou Tongxuan has real skills.

Now it seems that this kid does not talk about other skills, at least his fighting skills are satisfactory to him.

He had personally used the magic secret technique of "Boiling Blood Technique", and he had written down his experience of using this secret technique on the back of the secret technique.

Zhou Tongxuan dared to use this desperate secret technique to fight the enemy even though he knew the sequelae of the "blood boiling technique". Let's not talk about anything else, this ruthlessness alone has proved that he is not the kind of person who only relies on his parents to confuse him. The second generation of the dandy immortal of Yin.
