Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Vol 3 Chapter 578: : Angry Zhou Yang

After the formal dual cultivation with Taoist companion Xiao Ying, Zhou Yang himself has added decades of cultivation with the benefit of the first dual cultivation.

Over the years, although he has focused on cultivating several magical powers, his daily practice has not fallen much because of this, and his cultivation has also increased.

With the superposition of the two phases, his true cultivation level is actually not far from the fifth layer of the Golden Core.

At this time, with the help of the power of medicinal pills, after three years of retreat, he successfully raised his cultivation base to the fifth level of Jindan.

In the past three years, the situation has been calm.

After the "Six Paths Alliance" tried many ways, they couldn't figure out whether Lu Xuanji had passed away.

The deterrent force of the ninth-floor cultivator of Nascent Soul is too great, especially the ninth-floor cultivator of Nascent Soul who is near the end of his lifespan like Lu Xuanji.

The "Six Paths Alliance" also has its own ninth-level cultivator of the Nascent Soul, and is very aware of how terrifying the combat power that erupts when this existence is desperate.

Not to mention that Lu Xuanji has been in the Yunzhou Immortal Cultivation Realm for thousands of years, and he is one of the best in the realm of the ninth floor of Nascent Soul.

Assuming that Lu Xuanji was still alive, even if he knew that after he passed away, the "Six Paths Alliance" would launch an offensive against the "Xuanqing Taoist Alliance", he could not break the rules and take the initiative to pull the "Six Paths Alliance" Yuan Ying The ninth-floor monk was buried with him.

But if the "Liu Dao League" who seeks death by himself takes the initiative to attack the "Xuan Qing Dao League" at such a time, he will have sufficient reasons to bring people to bury him.

Of course, the "Six Path Alliance" is not that stupid, so as long as they don't get the exact information, they won't take this risk.

But this calm situation is doomed to not last long.

Zhou Yang knew that in ten years at most, or at least three or five years, the "Six Paths Alliance" would definitely be unable to bear and send people directly to test it.

At that time, if Lu Xuanji didn't come out to fight, a battle involving the two superpowers, the "Xuanqing Dao League" and the "Six Path League", would be inevitable.

This kind of battle, for a monk at the Nascent Soul stage, is actually not dangerous.

Although the "Xuanqing Dao League" and the "Six Path League" have been enemies for many years, for tens of thousands of years, the Yuanying monks from both sides who have fallen due to war are no more than one palm together.

The reason for this is that the purpose of the war between the two sides is very clear. To expand the territory and occupy more resource points is not necessarily to destroy the other side and dominate the Liuyunzhou Immortal Cultivation Realm.

In fact, that is unrealistic, because other forces in the Floating Cloud Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm will never allow such a hegemonic force to appear, unless that force has the power to subdue all the forces in the entire Floating Cloud Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Obviously neither the "Six Paths Alliance" nor the "Xuanqing Taoist Alliance" have the power to overwhelm the entire Floating Cloud Continent Cultivation World, so in the battle for territorial resources, if a party loses in the war, it usually takes the initiative to give up part of its interests to shrink its power.

And the other side won't push too hard after getting the benefits, lest the intensity of the war continue to escalate.

This resource competition war model is fundamentally different from the feuding war between the two superpowers in the extreme west.

The nature of the war is different, and the scale and intensity of the war will naturally not be the same.

The cultivators in the Yuan Ying period are aloof, with a life span of three thousand years, how could they fight to the death with cultivators of the same rank for the gain or loss of one country and one place?

As the saying goes: If you save land and lose people, you will lose both people and land. If you save people and lose land, then people and land will gain.

As long as things like Lingshan Blessed Land are not destroyed, they will always be there. If you lose it this time, you can grab it back next time.

Just like Anguo where Chongxuan Mountain is located, it was originally owned by the "Six Paths Alliance", but was later taken away by the "Xuanqing Taoist Alliance", and now it is back in the hands of the "Six Paths Alliance".

This kind of thing has happened many times for tens of thousands of years, and the top existences of the two superpowers have become accustomed to it.

Therefore, as long as they don't encounter the kind of strategic battle where one party must defend and one party is bound to win, the cultivators of the Nascent Soul period will definitely not fight for life and death in the war.

The cultivators of the Nascent Soul stage did not end up in battle, and they did not fight to the death. The cultivators of the Jindan stage were the core and main force in the war.

Often some important but not particularly important places in the war, such as Chongxuan Mountain, a fifth-rank high-grade Lingshan, must use the lives of Jindan cultivators to fight for and defend.

It is normal for both sides to die in each war of a dozen or so cultivators of the Golden Core Stage.

Therefore, Zhou Yang is facing a lot of pressure, because his Chongxuan Mountain will definitely become a front-line battlefield in this war and an important strategic point of competition.

"In the past three years of seclusion for the teacher, what happened to those people in the [Six Paths Alliance]? What is the current situation of those sects and families in Ann?"

On Chongxuan Mountain, after leaving the customs, Zhou Yang called three named disciples Wang Yanzhang, Li Qingyun, and Ren Fei to him for questioning.

Before he retreated, he told the three of them to privately contact some cultivators they knew when they were in Anguo, and to listen to the movements of various sects and families in Anguo.

To attack Chongxuan Mountain, these sects and families in Anguo must be the pioneers. Through the movements of these forces, Zhou Yang may be able to find out the time for the enemy to start.

Of course, he definitely wouldn't just believe the news from these few named disciples. If the "Six Paths Alliance" really wanted to launch an offensive, Qingyang Zhenren would definitely notify him immediately.

He asked a few named disciples to inquire about the news, but he didn't want to rely entirely on others for information, he just wanted to have "ears" to hear the news outside.

Hearing his words at this time, Wang Yanzhang glanced at the other two, seeing that they were unwilling to speak first, then he cupped his hands towards Zhou Yang and said, "Reporting to Master, my disciple has received it three years ago. After your order, I disguised myself as I went to several places where I was active and met a few close friends, and in return for the treasures you gave me, I asked them to help me go around and collect news about the various sects and families in Anguo."

"According to the information that has been sent back now, those sects and families in Anguo are indeed ready to mobilize for war. The prices of healing elixir and amulets in the fairy cities of various square cities have generally risen by nearly 30%!"

The price of healing elixir and amulets in Fangshi Xiancheng has risen, which is indeed a sign before the war.

Although every faction usually reserves these things, but if a war is really going to take place, no one knows how much the final consumption will be. Therefore, large-scale purchase and hoarding of these war preparation materials before the war is a routine operation.

However, Zhou Yang did not make an arbitrary judgment because of this. Instead, he looked at Li Qingshan and Ren Fei and asked, "How about you two? Do you have anything to add?"

"Report to Shizun, when the disciple was a loose cultivator, he used to have some friendship with a monk from the An Guoyu family. Now this person has also successfully established a foundation. This time, the disciple used a third-order high-grade spiritual talisman at the expense of learning from him. There is a piece of news that the two Jindan sword cultivators from the Taiyi Immortal Sword Sect have arrived at Qingyun Valley, this is what the patriarch of their family said personally, and there should be no falsehood."

Ren Fei slightly folded his hands and whispered an important piece of information he had inquired about.

After he finished speaking, Li Qingshan's expression changed suddenly, and he quickly lowered his head and confessed to Zhou Yang: "Master, forgive your sins, this disciple was used to traveling alone in the immortal world. In addition to this trip, Senior Brother Wang has already said. It can be said that I have gained nothing except those I have passed.”

"It doesn't matter if there's nothing to gain, anyway, the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will come to cover it. Next, you should practice well on the mountain and hone your fighting skills. The war will come soon, and then you must be mentally prepared."

Zhou Yang shook his head, he didn't blame Li Qingshan for anything, he just waved his hand and let a few people back off.

After several named disciples had all retreated, he said to himself, "Is the main attack on Taiyi Immortal Sword Sect this time? He is indeed a formidable enemy!"

"Six Paths Alliance" now has five top sects and one top cultivator family, "Taiyi Immortal Sword Sect" is one of the sects, and its strength is second only to the "Taiyuan Sect" where the current leader is located in the alliance.

As a sword cultivator, the cultivators of "Taiyi Immortal Sword Sect" are famous for being aggressive. Not to mention their strength, at least their fighting skills are much richer than most cultivators of the same rank.

Moreover, these swordsmen usually have one or two powerful killing moves. For example, when Zhou Yang participated in the death battle in the extreme west, a swordsman of the Zifu period of the "Taixuan Jianzong" used the Lianjindan period. The powerful sword move "Instant Air Slash", which is not easy for cultivators to master, instantly killed a cultivator of the same rank.

As far as Zhou Yang knows, the sword cultivators in the Jindan period of the "Taiyi Immortal Sword Gate" will basically master a life-threatening move called "Taiyi Flying Immortal Sword Art". Few people can stop without injury.

"I don't know what happened to the dragon scale defensive magic weapon that Senior Tuo Qingyang helped to find someone to refine. If it can be practiced before the war, there is such a fifth-order high-grade defensive magic weapon with strong defensive power. My own strong physical defense, when facing those sword cultivators, I have to be more tolerant!"

Zhou Yang rubbed his brows, he really felt the pressure.

The time to form a golden core is too short, this is his flaw.

Other Jindan cultivators may not improve as fast as him, but they have enough time to practice all kinds of supernatural powers, and as long as one of these supernatural powers can cause damage to him, it may threaten him in war. his life.

If you give yourself hundreds of years to cultivate all the important supernatural powers in your hands to the realm of small success, plus the various powerful magic tools in your hands, Zhou Yang will dare to slap his chest and promise that no one will be able to do it within the Jindan stage. threaten yourself again.

It is a pity that there is no if in the world. For these shortcomings of himself, he can only try his best to make up for them without affecting the improvement of his cultivation.

"Let's go and see Ying'er. It would be a good thing if her natal magic weapon can be successfully refined. At least if the war breaks out, even if I am injured, I can quickly recover to normal through her treatment."

Xiao Ying has all the materials for refining the natal magic weapon, the only thing lacking is the refining technology.

She was originally a fourth-order high-grade alchemy master. Although she did not know the art of refining, but through a lot of practice in the past few years, plus the experience notes specially prepared for her by Zhou Yang, the art of refining can be regarded as entering the room. level three.

The reason why I haven't started refining the natal magic weapon is because I want to wait for Zhou Yang to personally check for him after he leaves the customs, so that if there is any small omission during the refining process, she can also give her timely instructions to remedy it.

At this time, after Zhou Yang saw her after leaving the customs, the two of them entered the refining room and started refining.

It took less than half a month for Xiao Ying to successfully refine the "Rejuvenating Immortal Bottle".

This "Rejuvenating Immortal Bottle" magic weapon has just been refined, and it is only a high-grade fourth-order product. It would take Xiao Ying 20 to 30 years to raise it to become a fifth-order magic weapon, and began to produce treasures like "Rejuvenation Immortal Dew".

But Zhou Yang didn't have so much time to wait, so he chose an extravagant method and directly asked Xiao Ying to extract all the remaining half of the fifth-order [Tree Demon Heart] essence into the magic weapon. Shengsheng pushed it to the fifth level.

The advantage of this is that, because of the huge vitality, the "Rejuvenation Immortal Bottle" quickly condensed three drops of "Rejuvenation Immortal Dew" after being promoted to the fifth rank.

Don't think that there are only three drops of "Rejuvenation Fairy Dew".

In fact, under normal circumstances, with Xiao Ying's current cultivation level and the rank of the "Rejuvenating Immortal Bottle", it would take at least ten years to produce a drop of "Rejuvenating Immortal Dew".

It is not impossible to speed up the production of "Rejuvenation Immortal Dew", that is, to use the magic tool "Rejuvenation Immortal Bottle" to absorb the vitality of Yimu contained in various high-level spiritual woods, and about a fourth-order spirit After all the vitality of Yimu contained in the wood is absorbed, a drop of "Rejuvenation Immortal Dew" can be extracted.

It's just this kind of thing that kills chickens and retrieves eggs. Under normal circumstances, no one will do it. It can only be done in an emergency, or when you encounter a high-level spiritual wood that cannot be transplanted and taken away while traveling.

"By the way, Ying'er, have you tested Sheng Yu's child's talent for alchemy? From your point of view, what is his talent for alchemy?"

In the cave, after Zhou Yang and Xiao Ying's natal magic weapon were refined, they were chatting, and suddenly a move occurred in their hearts, and they asked about Xiao Ying, the young genius disciple of the Zhou family.

Although he doesn't care much about the Zhou family, he is still sincerely happy that such a young genius who is expected to be golden in the future appears in the family.

If the Zhou family can send out a few Jindan stage cultivators, even if he is promoted to the Nascent Soul stage in the future, he can immediately have his own trusted people to call, and it will be much more convenient to do a lot of things.

If you think about it, you will know. Guo Jinhong's original sixth-level cultivation base of Nascent Soul had the entire Haoyang Sect's disciples to drive him, and he would also use means to raise a group of Jindan stage monks outside to help him do things. From this, we can see that, Even a cultivator in the Nascent Soul period cannot work alone without the organization.

However, what Zhou Yang did not expect was that after Xiao Ying heard what he said, she shook her head with a strange expression on her face and said, "This is also where the concubine is confused, Sheng Yu's child's spiritual qualifications have nothing to say. But the talent of alchemy can only be said to be mediocre, even if the resources of the entire Zhou family are available for him to consume, he estimates that he will eventually be able to improve the alchemy technique to the fourth-rank low-level!"

In fact, she still has some reservations about what she said.

According to her experience, with Zhou Shengyu's talent in alchemy, if the Zhou family did not provide him with alchemy resources regardless of loss, the chances of becoming a Tier 3 alchemist were not high.

And even with her dedicated teaching, and the Zhou family providing resources to help regardless of wastage, there is still huge uncertainty about whether Zhou Shengyu can become a fourth-order alchemist in the future.

Although Zhou Yang didn't know this, Xiao Ying's words made him realize something, and his face suddenly turned ugly.

"Husband, your face seems a little ugly. Did your concubine say something wrong?"

Xiao Ying looked at him cautiously, her voice very soft.

"No, it's not your problem, it's Guangxiang's problem, this kid is playing tricks on me!"

Zhou Yang shook his head gently, his tone rather annoyed.

"No way! Didn't Guang Xiang always treat you with respect to your husband? How could he do such a thing?"

Xiao Ying opened her mouth slightly and looked at him with wide eyes, her face was full of disbelief.

She has also stayed in the Zhou family for hundreds of years, and is very aware of Zhou Yang's position in the hearts of the Zhou family cultivators, and how much Zhou Guangxiang, the head of the Zhou family, admires Zhou Yang.

Therefore, even if Zhou Yang said it herself, she could not believe it was true for a while.

"Hmph, if it wasn't for what you just said about Sheng Yu's talent in alchemy, my husband wouldn't want to understand this. If my husband wanted to understand this in the future, his calculations would have succeeded long ago, and even if my husband is held accountable then He, to him, is nothing but painless!"

Zhou Yang snorted coldly, his tone was very displeased, and it was obvious that his anger had not subsided.

Seeing this, Xiao Ying opened her mouth, but in the end she couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked softly, "What does this have to do with Sheng Yu's talent in alchemy?"

"Sheng Yu is a top-grade spiritual talent, right? If he doesn't learn alchemy, if he concentrates on his cultivation with his talent, the Zhou family will provide him with sufficient cultivation resources, and he will be able to open up the Purple Mansion in at most a hundred years. You are so young again, you said that Guangxiang will not be the head of the Zhou family at that time, who is the most suitable position for the head of the family?"

"And I told you last time that Guangxiang has long since cultivated his son Tongxuan consciously, and wants Tongxuan to take over from him in charge of the Zhou family in the future."

"Then here comes the problem. With Sheng Yu's spiritual aptitude, if he has been cultivating within the family, it is not impossible for him to catch up with Tongxuan. If he wants to be the head of the Zhou family, you say Tongxuan's Can the position of the young patriarch still be as stable as it is now?"

"Let's be more realistic for my husband. From a practical perspective, other Zhou family cultivators who have ideas and ambitions will definitely prefer to let Zhou Shengyu, who has not deep roots, be the patriarch, rather than let Zhou Tongxuan inherit his father. You, choose a strong boss for yourself!"

"And the ancestor of the family, Weihu, will have an excellent descendant like Sheng Yu to choose from, and out of consideration for the balance of power in the family, he may not be willing to let Tongxuan inherit the position of the patriarch."

"But now, in the name of cultivating outstanding juniors, he sent Sheng Yu to us, and asked Sheng Yu to follow you to practice and learn alchemy. At first glance, he was very good to Sheng Yu himself, but in fact he completely treated Sheng Yu and Zhou. The ties between the family members are cut off."

"A hundred years later, even if Sheng Yu succeeded in opening up the Purple Mansion, the alchemy technique was useless, and if he wanted to return to the Zhou family to compete for the position of the patriarch, what monk of the Zhou family would be willing to support such a stranger who had not practiced in the family before to become the patriarch? This family patriarch will not allow such a disturbance to the family order to occur!"

"Even if you think deeply, Sheng Yu's talent in alchemy is not good, but we have high hopes for him and give him countless resources to cultivate. When we find out this situation later, will we be disappointed with him because of too much investment. ? So you hate him?"

Zhou Yang angrily explained the stakes to the Taoist companions, with an expression of indescribable anger on his face.

From his point of view, Zhou Guangxiang's move can be described as sinister, completely using his power for personal gain, using his trust to calculate his elders, and using the patriarch's power to calculate Zhou Shengyu's juniors, the nature is very bad!

"Husband, calm down, Guang Xiang sent Sheng Yu over, perhaps as you said before, to ensure that Tong Xuan can smoothly become the next patriarch of the Zhou family, but the conjecture you said at the end must have been overthinking. "

"My concubine is a fourth-tier high-grade alchemist. How talented Sheng Yu is in alchemy, I only need to watch him a few times to make alchemy to know, and I will tell you the situation at that time, so how can we invest resources to him regardless of wastage? What about learning alchemy?"

"Guangxiang's kid is also a smart person. He certainly wouldn't have thought of this, so he probably just wanted to use the reason of learning alchemy to bring Sheng Yu out of the boundless sand sea to cultivate the immortal world!"

Xiao Ying quickly stepped forward to grab Zhou Yang's hand and comforted him softly, fearing that he would do something in a fit of anger that would make her regret in the future.

"Ying'er, what you said is not unreasonable. In the end, it is indeed possible that you think too much for your husband."

Zhou Yang's expression softened a little, and his anger was slightly reduced. After all, the nature of this last bit was too bad. If it was true, then he might really want to stage a "tear-to-kill horse" thing in the future and abolish it himself. This is the younger generation that he has always valued the most.

"But even so, it's a fact that he used power for personal gain. You said that your husband should let him understand that it's not up to him, the patriarch, to decide everything in the Zhou family, and he personally took action to smash his plans!"

Zhou Yang looked at the Taoist companion with a warm and angry expression, hesitation flashed in his eyes, and his determination was difficult.

The two have been together for hundreds of years, how Xiao Ying didn't know Zhou Yang's character, making Zhou Yang so difficult to make up his mind, obviously shows that there is actually room for recovery in this matter.

Otherwise, with Zhou Yang's character, he would have made a decision long ago.

Therefore, after hesitating for a while, she shook her head gently and said: "I think that it is unnecessary for your husband to do this, anyway, whoever is the patriarch of the Zhou family, your family ancestor has the right to directly abolish it, if Zhou Tongxuan becomes the future. The head of the Zhou family, and he is not worthy of the position, you can also abolish him, why should it be because of this incident that broke the relationship between uncle and nephew for many years, making it difficult for Guangxiang and Guangxiang to live in the family?"

"Guangxiang did something wrong this time, but we think about it carefully, as a father, it is not wrong for him to prepare a good future for his son within the scope of his powers. After all, he did not really harm any clan because of it, otherwise As long as we pretend to miss a little while crossing the Broken Cloud Mountains, it is impossible for us to see Sheng Yu!"

"And he sent Sheng Yu to our side to practice, in addition to stifling the possibility of Sheng Yu's future competition for the Zhou family leader, it is actually a good thing for Sheng Yu's future path, at least to practice with us, Sheng Yu from the starting point. It will be much higher than the ordinary Zhou family."

"Now it seems that he specially asked his concubine to take Sheng Yu as a disciple. I am afraid that it is a fake to let his concubine teach Sheng Yu alchemy, so it is true to compensate Sheng Yu!"

"Who is selfless in life? Husband, don't you often say that you want to have a son with your concubine and go back to the Zhou family to inherit the throne of the Zhou family? How can you, the abdicated patriarch, think like this, Guangxiang. Can the incumbent patriarch think like this?"

"In terms of his contribution to the Zhou family, Guangxiang is far inferior to your husband, but he has also made great contributions to the Zhou family in running the family over the years~www.wuxiamtl.com~, which no one can do except you. Besides, his son Tongxuan is not the kind of trash who can't be helped at all, isn't it normal for him to want his son to take over his position as the patriarch?"

Zhou Yang couldn't help but ponder after listening to Dao Compu's words.

After a while like this, he sighed softly: "Hey, maybe Ying'er, you're right, my husband was really angry just now, and he felt that Guangxiang betrayed me, so he was inexhaustible. I want to punish him severely!"

"Thinking about it, Guangxiang did not make any big mistakes except for a small use of power for personal gain. If the husband cut off his son's future because of this, it would really be a feud between relatives! "

After he finished speaking, his expression froze again, and he said in a deep voice, "Let's leave this matter alone, and after the threat from the [Six Paths Alliance] has passed, I will personally return to the boundless sand sea cultivation world for my husband to remove him from the position of the patriarch. , let his son Tongxuan succeed him, and then bring him to the Liuyunzhou Xiu Xianjie to practice cultivation, if he doesn't get the golden pill, he will not be allowed to return to the boundless sand sea immortal realm!"

When Xiao Ying heard what he said, she immediately nodded and said, "This is the best way. In this way, Guangxiang has been punished for using power for personal gain, which has served as a warning to future generations; because he has fulfilled his wish, he can also rest assured to go out and seek elixir. Opportunity; Tongxuan inherits the position of the patriarch, and with his father's lessons ahead, he will definitely do things for the family conscientiously to prove that he is not an incompetent person, it can be said that he kills three birds with one stone!"
