Cultivation Begins From The Desert

If a Jindan stage cultivator enters other immortal cities, it may cause people to take a few more glances and attract the attention of the guardians in the city.

But in a place like Floating Cloud Immortal City, Jindan stage cultivators can often see them, and other cultivators who see Jindan stage cultivators flying on clouds will at most cast an envious glance, and they won't pay more attention.

After Zhou Yang left the cave mansion of Taoist companion Xiao Ying, he quickly rushed outside the official cave mansion rental agency in Floating Cloud Immortal City and rented a fifth-order cave mansion in Xiancheng at an annual rent of 7,000 low-grade spirit stones. Floating Cloud Immortal City settled down.

A few days after staying in the cave, Lu Xuewei, Zhou Tongxuan and others who received the news rushed over to see him.

Forty-five years have not been seen, and the cultivation of these juniors is very diligent.

Among them, Lu Xuewei benefited from the help of the "ice crystal snow lotus" lotus seeds and other spiritual things that Zhou Yang had given him at the beginning, and his cultivation progressed rapidly. In only forty-five years, he cultivated from the first floor of the Purple Mansion to the fourth floor of the Purple Mansion, almost catching up with the original Zhou Yang. .

And Zhou Tongxuan and other three Zhou family foundation-building cultivators also made great progress in their cultivation.

Among them, Zhou Tongxuan has been upgraded from the original 4th floor to the 7th floor, Zhou Zehong has been upgraded from the original 1st floor to the 4th floor, and Zhou Fujin has been upgraded from the original 2nd floor to the 5th floor. Floor.

With their spiritual aptitude, they can improve one level of cultivation in more than ten years on average. Apart from their own practice, another important reason is of course that they never lack all kinds of elixir to take.

As the juniors of the Zhou family who were valued by Zhou Yang and brought out to broaden their horizons, they were eligible to receive better treatment than other Zhou family cultivators.

And through these years of experience, these juniors have indeed made great progress.

The most direct point is that when they faced his family ancestor at this time, although they were respectful, they were not as cautious as before, and they were no longer upright.

This made Zhou Yang feel very gratified.

The environment will affect and change a person's character and the level of dealing with others. In a place where the immortal cultivation civilization is highly prosperous, a qi-cultivating cultivator often sees those Zifu cultivators and even Jindan cultivators. After a long time, naturally The sense of awe for these high-ranking monks has been greatly reduced.

This is both a good thing and a bad thing, depending on how you treat it and recognize it.

If Zhou Tongxuan and the other three had grown up in a place like Floating Cloud Immortal City since they were children, then Zhou Yang would only describe their so-called calm and self-possessed by the words "only their appearance".

The flowers that grow in such a greenhouse may usually look good, but if they leave the safe and comfortable greenhouse of Floating Cloud Immortal City and go outside.

Just put the knife on his neck, put a tube of blood on him, keep it safe and teach him that he can't keep his demeanor any longer, and it's good not to kneel on the ground and beg grandpa to tell grandma.

But Zhou Tongxuan and the three are different. They came from a barren and backward small place like the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Realm. Since childhood, they have understood the cruelty of the outside world in the immortal cultivation world from the Zhou Family Academy. Fighting, he has a deep understanding of the words "the strong is respected" in the world of immortality.

Now that they have entered Floating Cloud Immortal City to experience life, they have been influenced by the environment here and have broadened their horizons and minds.

"Very good, it seems that the three of you have all experienced it. At least in this way, it seems that you are much stronger than before, but I hope that you are not only good-looking, but have real materials. "

"In the future, the Zhou family will have to rely on you young people to run the family. What the ancestor of my family can do is to help you deter those unscrupulous people, not to take care of children, but also to take care of you to eat and drink."

"This point, I hope you must remember, don't have the kind of comfort that can enjoy the happiness with the presence of the ancestors!"

Zhou Yang looked at the three calm-minded juniors in front of him, his face flashed with satisfaction, and he gave them encouragement and warning in a earnest tone.

Although he knew that his warning might not be able to make all the Zhou family members listen, but as long as most people can listen, as long as the Zhou family's rulers can listen, it will be fine.

The three of Zhou Tongxuan had the experience of Floating Cloud Continent's Immortal Cultivation World. After returning to the Zhou family, they would definitely be able to become the powerful figures of the Zhou family.

When Zhou Tongxuan and the other three heard his words, their faces turned straight, and they quickly bowed and saluted: "Grandson, you must remember the teachings of our ancestors, or dare not forget!"

"Okay, the three of you go back first. Next, we will stay in this Floating Cloud Immortal City for a while. When we return to the family, I will inform you of the ancestors!"

Zhou Yang waved his hand and asked the three juniors from the same clan to step back first, and then his eyes fell on his apprentice Lu Xuewei.

"Your wife said that in recent years, you have rarely practiced in her cave, and you often go out for a few years, and often come back with injuries. She asks you what happened, but you don't say anything. Now I ask you for the teacher, and you don't. Are you ready to speak?"

Zhou Yang looked at this female apprentice with deep eyes. As the cultivation level deepened, the ice-cold temperament on her body became more and more obvious because of the influence of her ice spirit root and the cultivation technique she practiced.

Although immortal cultivators are more or less affected by exercises, their temperament is biased towards the attributes of their own exercises. For example, the temperament of a fire-type exercise monk will be more domineering and fiery, a gold-type exercise monk’s temperament will be sharper and sharper, and a wood-type exercise monk’s temperament will be sharper. Tranquil nature.

But if the temperament is too deeply affected by the exercises, it is not a good thing, and if it is not handled well, it is a big bad thing.

Like a fire-type cultivator, after being deeply affected by the cultivator, his personality will be very irritable and irritable, and he often sets up enemies for himself because of trivial matters.

If it continues like this, it may even go straight to the devil, unable to control the irritable anger in his body and set himself on fire.

As for ice-based cultivators like Lu Xuewei, if they are too deeply affected by the exercises, their personality will gradually become like a piece of ice, with little affection and inability to communicate. .

Of course, with Lu Xuewei's cultivation, it wouldn't be so, otherwise Zhou Yang wouldn't be as simple as talking to her.

At this time, after listening to Zhou Yang's words, Lu Xuewei suddenly knelt on the ground and bowed deeply to him and said: "Master, forgive your sins, the disciple does not want to tell the teacher, not only because she is worried, but also because she knows her. I can't help my disciple, so why bother her about my disciple?"

"Now that the master has returned, the disciple naturally wants to confess everything to the master, and ask the master to uphold justice for the disciple!"

Zhou Yang's expression changed, but he didn't expect such an inside story.

He looked at Lu Xuewei solemnly, and said in a deep voice, "Let's talk about it, if someone really bullied you, the teacher will naturally seek justice for you!"

Having obtained his promise, Lu Xuewei immediately explained the matter from beginning to end.

It turned out that when she and three other monks from the Purple Palace period went out to hunt monsters more than ten years ago, she accidentally discovered a rare fifth-order spiritual object in the underwater cave where a fourth-order high-grade monster inhabited." Water Soul Profound Essence Stone".

Before the monster hunt, a few people said it well, and all the treasures obtained by the monster hunt were equally divided.

However, the appearance of a rare fifth-order spiritual object like the "Water Soul Profound Essence Stone" made this agreement invalid.

You must know that "Water Soul Profound Essence Stone" is a very precious material for refining tools. It is one of the best materials that ordinary monks in the Jindan period of water-based exercises can find to refine their natal instruments. They can be sold for a piece the size of a fist. The sky-high price of 200,000 to 300,000 low-grade spirit stones.

And the "Water Soul Profound Essence Stone" that Lu Xuewei and the others found in the underwater monster cave house was the size of a washbasin, and it was worth at least a million low-grade spirit stones!

In front of such a precious treasure, what role can that kind of verbal agreement play?

So, for the ownership of the large piece of "Water Soul Profound Essence Stone", the four cultivators who had fought side by side before split into two sides, facing each other with swords.

Lu Xuewei relied on the various treasures given by Zhou Yang, and it was not difficult to win the treasures.

But she did not expect that when she defeated other competitors and was about to win the treasure, the cultivator who had worked with her suddenly betrayed her, and the sneak attack severely injured her, so she could only regret missing the treasure and escaped with injuries.

When she escaped to Cloud Immortal City and recovered from her injuries, when she came to the door to seek revenge, that person had already dedicated the "Water Soul Profound Essence Stone" to a Jindan ancestor of the Jindan family, and because of this, he was attached to it. That Jindan family has become his family's quick son-in-law.

Needless to say what happened next, Lu Xuewei was naturally unwilling to let it go, and quietly got up to seek revenge.

But her enemy was much more cunning than her, and she had long known that she would not let it go, so she deliberately set up a counter-ambush against her.

If it wasn't for Lu Xuewei's many spiritual talismans bestowed by Zhou Yang, and the healing elixir Xiao Ying prepared for her to save her life, I'm afraid she would have explained it there on the spot.

In the past ten years, Lu Xuewei has made several shots, but she has not obtained any benefits. Instead, she has been wounded many times by her opponents with the help of the family's power, and all the magic talismans that Zhou Yang had given her at the beginning have been exhausted.

"Master, you always teach us, my generation of monks, we should rejoice in favors and hatreds, we must repay our favors, and we must avenge any hatreds. The disciple can't hold his breath, and he really can't calm down to practice!"

Lu Xuewei said these words with an icy face, and there was nowhere to vent her anger in her heart, her brows and eyes were full of suffocating anger.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang frowned, but he didn't expect that his apprentice would have such a personality that revenge doesn't last night.

This kind of character is not bad, but it is not too late to avenge the gentleman he believes in for ten years, which can be described as two extremes.

For what happened to Lu Xuewei, if it was him, he must first try to cultivate and improve his cultivation, and then use his cultivation to crush it and crush the enemy.

In fact, Lu Xuewei has this capital. She has excellent qualifications. As long as she is willing to practice hard, it is possible to cultivate to the eighth or nineth floor of the Purple Mansion within a hundred years.

By that time, her enemies must have relaxed their vigilance. If the Jindan stage cultivator did not take action, with her cultivation at that time, she could easily kill her enemies.

"Okay, the matter is clear for the teacher. When the teacher is ready to leave Floating Cloud Immortal City, I will take you to the Guo family and let you settle this grievance yourself!"

"But before that, please calm down for me to practice and stop thinking about it."

Zhou Yang frowned and pondered for a while, then suddenly waved his hand and said his decision.

He generally does not make decisions lightly, but the decisions he makes are always consistent.

As his disciple, Lu Xuewei grew up by his side, and naturally understood this.

Therefore, she didn't say anything more, she just replied: "The disciple obeys the teacher's orders."

"Go on, admit your mistake to your wife, she is always soft-hearted and will definitely forgive you."

Zhou Yang waved his hand and dismissed the apprentice.

After meeting a few juniors, Zhou Yang just started busy with his own affairs.

He went straight to the largest shops on Liu Yunxian Mountain to buy the spiritual items he needed.

Zhou Yang plans to buy a spiritual item to re-refine a set of flying swords, of course, the fifth-order flying sword.

To refine such a set of flying swords, there is not enough material.

He now has some materials in his hands, but he lacks others.

These materials may be difficult to find in other places, but in Floating Cloud Immortal City, after Zhou Yanghua went out to nearly 700,000 low-grade spirit stones, he successfully bought the materials he wanted.

Fortunately, Xiao Ying has helped Liu's alchemy workshop over the years, and has accumulated 200,000 to 300,000 low-grade spirit stones. Otherwise, if Zhou Yang spent such a large amount of spirit stones, the remaining spirit stones on his body may not be enough to buy those auxiliary pill-forming spirits. use.

Of course, spending women's money still made Zhou Yang a little embarrassed, so he was in a shop again, and he sold all the poisonous Jiao materials that he had cooperated with Jiang Fengxian in the Kunxu Realm to kill, so he returned to the cage for fifty More than 10,000 low-grade spirit stone funds.

Not long after, he participated in an auction in Floating Cloud Immortal City and purchased three copies of "Purple Heart Chalcedony" at the price of one 200,000 low-grade spirit stone.

Soon, there was good news from Xiao Ying. After accepting her entrustment, the Liu family behind Liu's Pill Square had found two kinds of spirits to assist the formation of pills elsewhere, and passed the "Liuyun Merchant Alliance". Channels are fast shipping for her.

These two spirits are a drop of "Zhimu Spiritual Liquid" and the "Golden Berries" that Zhou Yang had used.

In this way, considering the "ice and fire spirit liquid" that Zhou Yang had never used before, Xiao Ying had three kinds of auxiliary spirits, even if she didn't use the "Jade Liquid Golden Pill".

In order to buy these two kinds of spirits, Zhou Yang paid a total of 760,000 low-grade spirit stones, which almost emptied his and Xiao Ying's wealth.

After getting the things, Xiao Ying lived in Zhou Yang's cave retreat to prepare for the formation of elixir, while Zhou Yang continued to practice the magical power of "Silence Burning Soul Divine Light" while protecting her.

Five years later, there is still no news from Xiao Ying, who has retreated to form elixir, but Zhou Yang has successfully entered the practice of the magical power of "Silence, Burning Soul, Divine Light". To supernatural powers Xiaocheng.

And at this time, the Xuanyang Immortal Sect, which Zhou Yang had been paying close attention to, finally got news.

After several years of negotiation, Xuanyang Xianzong still chose to compromise, voluntarily giving up the control of more than a dozen rare mineral veins such as two large-scale spirit stone mines and a medium-sized "empty ghost stone" mine, and handed them over to the " In the first battle of the Heavenly Splitting True Demon, there were various sects with great strength and serious damage.

At the same time, Xuanyang Xianzong was also forced to give up hundreds of Lingshans outside the Daoxuan Kingdom, including even seven fifth-order Lingshans.

But these costs are actually nothing. The biggest price Xuanyang Xianzong paid to quell this turmoil is Lu Xuanji, the ninth-level "half-step true immortal" of Nascent Soul, swearing in front of many monks of the same rank that the rest of his life will be It has been used to find the "Sky Splitting True Demon" who has been chasing and escaping, and no longer care about the affairs of Xuanyang Xianzong, in fact, it is equivalent to breaking away from Xuanyang Xianzong.

In addition, the real person Yunxiao of Xuanyang Xianzong vowed to sweep all the demons in the immortal cultivation world of Liuyunzhou, and he could no longer manage the affairs of the sect.

In this way, there are only four Nascent Soul monks left in Xuanyang Xianzong who can still take the lead.

Four Nascent Soul monks, in terms of quantity, are enough to maintain the top sect of Xuanyang Xianzong, but they are completely incomparable with the previous illustrious momentum of the Nine Realm.

Moreover, with so many resource points and Lingshan territory given up this time, I am afraid that in the future, the cultivation strength of the younger disciples of Xuanyang Xianzong will not be able to compare with before.

In short, this time, Xuanyang Xianzong is really broken, and it is basically impossible to restore the previous momentum in a short period of time.

When Zhou Yang learned the news, a letter was also passed to him.

The letter was sent to him by Qingyang Zhenren, and the content of the letter was the detailed schedule of the secret talks he had with Lu Xuan.

According to the above description, if he is willing to secretly do things for Xuanyang Xianzong, Xuanyang Xianzong will not only give him the status of a guest Qing elder, but also arrange a fifth-order high-grade Lingshan for him through their ally Yuqing Daozong. place.

And if he wants to build up his power, Xuanyang Xianzong can provide him with three Foundation Establishment Pills at the market price every ten years, and a "Purple Heart Chalcedony" every fifty years, even if he helps Xuanyang If Xianzong solves some big problems, he can also get the qualification to buy "Jade Liquid Golden Pill".

These benefits are not unreasonable.

Even those vassal Jindan families under Xuanyang Xianzong are treated like this.

At the end of the letter, Master Qingyang also said one thing, that is, in two years, Lu Xuanji and Yin Hanguang will go to the Xiu Xianjie, a land in the extreme west, to help Yin Hanguang compete for the position of the palace master of the Great Bright Immortal Palace. If interested, Lu Xuanji is willing to drop him off for a ride.

Zhou Yang was silent after reading the letter.

When he had calmed down and thought about it for the past few years, he also wanted to understand the intention of Lu Xuanji and Qingyang Zhenren who were willing to work hard to win over him.

Obviously, during his trip to the "Qingtian Wonderland", he exposed his trump cards such as "Ganyang Orb" and "Nirvana" magical powers. In the eyes of Lu Xuanji and Qingyang Zhenren, the Nascent Soul monks, he had been used only by the original ones. A one-time "disposable item" has become an important **** that can be used for a long time.

In particular, now that he has grown up, he can use it to do things at any time and invest the resources in him. He no longer needs to wait for a long time to recover the cost as before, but can see the effect immediately.

What's even better is that he still has great potential, and he will have a lot of opportunities to sprint into the Nascent Soul in the future.

Xuanyang Xianzong suffered heavy losses in terms of top-level monks this time, and urgently needs to fill the gap in this area, but there are very few disciples in their own sect who are expected to be in the Nascent Soul stage.

Even if they start now, regardless of the resource consumption, they will select talented disciples from the youngest generation of the sect to start training, and they will not be able to cultivate a Nascent Soul monk without hundreds or thousands of years.

At this time, a talented cultivator like Zhou Yang who has a close relationship with their Xuanyang Xianzong and is trustworthy naturally becomes another alternative for them to fill the gap.

If Zhou Yang could marry a baby in the future, Xuanyang Xianzong, who had established an attachment relationship with him before he was born, would naturally be able to easily pull him into the sect to become the elder of the sect.

Even if he has not yet conceived a baby, with his combat power far exceeding that of the monks of the same rank, the resources that Xuanyang Xianzong invested in him can also obtain sufficient returns in other aspects.

Zhou Yang, who understood this, was not angry because he was used, but felt very at ease.

In the past, he accepted Qingyang Zhenren's kindness, but he didn't know how to repay the other party. Whenever he thought of this kind of thing, he felt uneasy in his heart, extremely uneasy.

Later events also proved that he was right to worry, because he had been unable to repay the kindness of Qingyang Zhenren and Lu Xuanji, and he finally had to take the risk of dying and follow each other to the "Qingtian Wonderland" to slay the devil.

But now if he agrees to Qingyang Zhenren's conditions, the two sides will form a substantial relationship of mutual benefit and reciprocity. Xuanyang Xianzong will give him benefits, and he will take the benefits. love, and there is no need for him to bear any moral pressure.

Therefore, Zhou Yang did not hesitate for a long time, and sent a letter to Qingyang Zhenren. In the letter, he expressed his decision to do things for Xuanyang Xianzong, and then passed the letter through the hands of Xuanyang Xianzong's intelligence personnel in Liuyun Xiancheng. It was forwarded to Qingyang Zhenren.

Not long after, the reply from Qingyang Zhenren came back, saying that he could go to receive the fifth-order high-grade Lingshan at any time.

It's just that Zhou Yang also planned to return to the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Realm after Dao Companion Xiao Ying's retreat this time, so he temporarily suppressed this matter and did not rush to do it.

A year and a half later, Xiao Ying's case of forming a pill came to an end. After using three auxiliary spirits, she still failed.

However, with the help of three kinds of spirits, she made it to the second step "Hedan" the first time she formed a pill. If she tries to form a pill next time, as long as she can find a better effect than "Golden Berry" Strengthening the spirits and spirits, and with the help of "Jade Liquid Golden Pill", there must be no problem with the success of the pill formation.

"It's okay to fail once, for my husband, he failed twice before he succeeded!"

"Next, Ying'er, take care of your injuries in this Floating Cloud Immortal City. Your husband will bring Tong Xuan and the others back to the family to deal with some matters. After the matter is dealt with, they will come back to accompany you."

"Also, you can continue to ask the Liu family to help you search for spiritual objects that strengthen the soul~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Regardless of whether the price is high or not, this time my husband returns to the family, he will definitely come back with enough spiritual stones."

In the cave, Zhou Yang looked at the pale Taoist companion who had injured his dantian because of the failure to form the pill. While he was distressed, he grabbed her palm and comforted her, while he wanted to follow Lu Xuanji back to the boundless sand sea to cultivate the immortal world. informed her.

Naturally, he didn't hide anything about his cooperation with Xuanyang Xianzong to stay in the Floating Cloud Continent Cultivation World, and he told the truth.

His frankness made Xiao Ying very at ease. After hearing the words, she quickly smiled softly and said, "I understand, husband, your business matters. I will take good care of her injuries and wait for my husband to return."

So, after talking with the Taoist companions for a while, Zhou Yang didn't bother Xiao Ying to recuperate, and left the cave and summoned his apprentice Lu Xuewei.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to leave Floating Cloud Immortal City, he wants to help this apprentice to avenge that revenge, otherwise the apprentice's anger will not stop, which will be very unfavorable for future cultivation.

Of course, he would not use his current appearance to take revenge, that would expose his relationship with Taoist Companion Xiao Ying and bring a lot of trouble to Xiao Ying's life in Floating Cloud Immortal City.
