Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Loaning 5 million low-grade spirit stones to earn the favor of a Nascent Soul cultivator in vain, Zhou Yang felt that this investment was a good deal.

Those spirit stones were left in his hands and were of little use for the time being, and the large spirit stone mine of the Zhou family had been mining all the time. If he needed to use a large amount of spirit stones for anything, he would just go back to the family.

Moreover, Master Bailu also said that the loan will be repaid within 300 years. Zhou Yang believed that the dignified Yuan Ying cultivator of the other party had promised in public that he would definitely not default in this regard.

Even for him, three hundred years later, he may have transformed into a pill and formed a baby. Even if the real person of Bailu really dared to default, he would have the ability to personally go to the door to collect the bill.

So when he lent this huge sum of money, he didn't panic at all.

So after the auction ended, he was very calm and waited for the monks in the auction house to bring the [Huofeng Xuandan], [Gengjin], [Pregnant and Infant Dan] and other items that he had bought to his door, and took out the spirit stones with them. made a delivery.

As he expected, the auction house did not criticize him too harshly for the fact that he lost a high-grade spirit stone, but only asked him to take out 50,000 low-grade spirit stones as a deduction, and the missing high-grade spirit stone was sold from their auction venue. It's fine to deduct the fee there.

This way of delivery makes it impossible for anyone to know that he bought the treasure like [Pregnant and Infant Pill] except the auction house cultivator who made the delivery with him.

What's more, when he made the delivery, he also deliberately changed his appearance with the mask of disguise, so as not to be afraid that others would see his true face.

And after the delivery was completed, he went directly to the VIP channel and left the auction floor through the teleportation array.

"Daoyou Zhou's deeds, I have heard a lot in the past few years, Daoyou can do such great things at a young age, and the future is boundless!"

In an attic, Zhou Yang and Bailu Zhenren, the creditor and the borrower, sat opposite each other, drinking tea and talking.

After Zhou Yang lent the spirit stone that day, the real Bailu took away the five million spirit stone loan he had prepared directly through the hands of the monks at the auction. grateful.

Hearing the praise of the other party at this time, Zhou Yang did not pretend to be the creditor at all, and responded very humbly: "I don't dare to praise the senior like this, compared with the real person who is enlightened like the senior, the junior is just learning to walk. It's just a child!"

When Bailu Zhenren heard the words, he smiled faintly: "Little friend is too modest, it is true that there is a big gap between Jindan period and Nascent Soul period, but it is not as big as what you said, little friend, and the wind Even if a certain person doesn't trust his own vision, he will never doubt the vision of Senior Xuanji!"

Since he borrowed Zhou Yang's spirit stone and promised Zhou Yang a favor, of course, he will investigate Zhou Yang's identity information in detail afterwards.

But it was just the information he had collected in the past few days that had surprised him.

As a Nascent Soul monk, he certainly understands how powerful a ninth-level "half-step true immortal" like Lu Xuanji is. Zhou Yang, a cultivator of Jindan stage, can show the deceased ninth-level ninth-level ninth monk. , its potential is already evident.

In particular, this time Zhou Yang directly lent him five million low-grade spirit stones, showing his shocking financial resources.

Such a young Jindan cultivator, who needs a background and background, and money and money, will definitely have a much smoother path in the future than most Jindan cultivators.

The real person Bailu even suspected that the buyer of the "pregnant and infant pill" was Zhou Yang, but there was no evidence to prove it.

Of course, for him, it doesn't matter if he can confirm the matter, as long as he is sure that Zhou Yang is not the kind of treacherous villain with bad character, he will be relieved.

With a wave of his hand, he took out a cyan jade pendant token and threw it to Zhou Yang and said, "Feng is right, if you have something difficult to solve in the future, you can use this token to go to Luming Valley to find Feng, as long as it is not That kind of request to let Feng and a monk of the same rank fight to the death, Feng will never refuse!"

Zhou Yang came to see him, wasn't it just for these words?

Immediately, he immediately took the jade pendant and squeezed it tightly without any refusal, and assured with a stern face: "Please rest assured, senior, if the junior will not use this item in the future, he will never use this item easily, and he will never let it be used. Seniors are in danger because of juniors."

"With your words, Feng will be relieved."

Master Bailu nodded slightly, very satisfied with his guarantee.

Then he waved his hand and said: "Okay, Feng Mou is still in a hurry to return to the sect to sacrifice the newly acquired magic weapon, so he won't accompany you Zhou Daoyou more, and the five million low-grade spirit stones owed to you will also be in the future. People will be sent to the door in batches to repay fellow Daoists, and there will never be one spiritual stone missing from fellow Daoists."

When Zhou Yang heard the words, he immediately got up and bowed sensible: "Then the junior will not disturb the senior, the junior will retire."

After that, he said goodbye and left, and returned to the temporary cave house where Xianzhan was.

In this way, he stayed in the Xianzhan Cave Mansion for three or four months. It was not until all the monks who came from the big auction had dispersed for a long time that Zhou Yang left the Jade Capital City and returned to Chongxuan Mountain.

After returning to Chongxuan Mountain, Zhou Yang first handed over the purchased elixir and other items to Taoist Companion Xiao Ying, and then he checked the newly recruited registered disciples, and was ready to return to the boundless sand sea cultivation world. .

Last time Zhou Guangxiang used Zhou Shengyu to plot against him, but he never forgot it. This time he went back to deal with the matter.

In addition, he promised Zhou Ronghua and others to bring these people back to the family, let them return to their hometown, and let the whole family of monks know their contributions and sacrifices in the battle of Chongxuan Mountain.

Of course, the most important thing is that he wants to send the [Jade Liquid Gold Pill] and [Purple Heart Chalcedony] exchanged with merit points back to the family, so as to secure the hearts of all the monks in the family.

This trip home was just to do business and didn't need to stay for a long time, so Zhou Yang didn't bring Taoist companion Xiao Ying back together.

And for the sake of safety, he also specially sent messages to Master Qingyang and Liu Yunxiang of Su Yunzong and others, asking them to come to the rescue immediately once they receive a message asking for help from Chongxuan Mountain.

In the end, in order to facilitate Xiao Ying's escape from Chongxuan Mountain in a dangerous situation, he also kept two fifth-order spiritual birds, the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle and the Colorful Peacock, as a precaution.

After everything was ready, Zhou Yangcai said goodbye to Taoist companion Xiao Ying, and left Chongxuan Mountain with Zhou Ronghua, Zhou Rongxiang, Zhou Sheng, and the three Zhou family cultivators, and returned to the boundless sand sea cultivation world.

Without the Golden-Winged Thunder Eagle to fly on his own, Zhou Yang used the fifth-order low-grade flying instrument [Thunderbolt Golden Light Shuttle] to hurry on his way. With his full power, the flying speed was no worse than that of the Golden-Winged Thunder Eagle.

It's just that this magic weapon can't cover the whereabouts and can only be used before entering the Broken Cloud Mountains.

After arriving at the Broken Cloud Mountains, Zhou Yang had to put away this instrument and use a fourth-order flying boat instrument to fly instead.

This fourth-order flying boat artifact also has a certain stealth effect. Although it is not as strong as the "phantom cloud boat" he left to the family, it is better than his flying cloud.

Zhou Yang has walked this road many times, and it is a bit exaggerated to say that he can fly back with his eyes closed, but basically nothing will happen.

Especially now that his strength has greatly increased, even if he encounters something, he can easily deal with it.

There was nothing wrong all the way, and a month later, Zhou Yang returned to the Zhou family base camp above the oasis of Rhino Horn Island.

When the ancestor of the family who had been away from home for many years came back, the Zhou family cultivators who got the news were naturally overjoyed, and the cultivators of the foundation-building stage rushed to the Rhino Horn Island Oasis to make a pilgrimage to the family ancestor.

Who does not know the Zhou family, this family patriarch has always been generous, as long as he can get into the eyes of his old man and reward him with something casually, he can save himself from struggling for more than ten years, or even decades.

This is exactly what Zhou Yang wanted. He even asked Zhou Guangxiang and Li Mubai, who had heard the news, to drive two large empty boats to various oasis Lingshan to pick up people, so as to get as many Zhou family members as possible. Rhino horn oasis comes.

At the beginning, the monks of the Six Paths Alliance attacked Chongxuan Mountain and Chang Kingdom, and brought a lot of large-scale empty building ships. After Zhou Yang killed those Jindan monks, he got a total of three ships, except for one. In addition to the Taoist companion Xiao Ying, the other two ships were brought back this time, ready to be handed over to the family for use.

Before the other tribes rush to the Rhino Horn Island Oasis, the matter of rewarding Zhou Ronghua, Zhou Rongguang, Zhou Sheng and the three can be temporarily put aside.

Zhou Yang directly called Zhou Guangxiang to talk in the cave on Lingxi Peak.

"Do you know why I came back this time?"

Inside the cave, Zhou Yang looked at his nephew, whose double bun had slightly gray hair in front of him. He was about to question him with harsh words, but suddenly changed his tone.

He seemed to remember at this time that Zhou Guangxiang was no longer young. Compared with the 480-year-old life span of a cultivator in the Zifu period, Zhou Guangxiang, who was already more than 360 years old, can be said to be a middle-aged person and started to walk. into old age.

"My nephew knows."

Zhou Guangxiang looked up at Zhou Yang, lowered his head again, and replied in a low voice.

"I originally hoped that I had guessed wrong, but after knowing that you have given the [Purple Heart Chalcedony] I gave you to Tong Xuan for use, I am truly disappointed for you!"

Zhou Yang let out a sigh of disappointment, his eyes filled with sadness.

Zhou Guangxiang gave the [Purple Heart Chalcedony] he gave to his son Zhou Tongxuan to use, naturally he wanted to push his son to the Purple Palace period, and took over the patriarch's position from him justifiably.

But unfortunately, his son did not have the same fortune as he and his sister Zhou Guangxiang, and despite the help of [Purple Heart Chalcedony], he ultimately failed.

When Zhou Guangxiang heard what he said, his body trembled slightly, and then he fell to his knees with a thud, and bowed to him deeply and said, "There are thousands of mistakes, it's all the fault of my nephew, Ninth Uncle, no matter what. Punish my nephew, and my nephew is willing to bear it."

"Rewards and punishments are clearly defined. This is the basic principle of governing the country. Even if you are the patriarch of the Zhou family, even if you are my most trusted and favored nephew, I will not bend the law for personal gain!"

"It's not a fault that you gave [Purple Heart Chalcedony] to your son Zhou Tongxuan. After all, you are using your own family contribution points to exchange from your family."

"But for your son to be able to inherit the position of the patriarch, you have driven the talented children of the family out of the family and used power for personal gain, but the evidence is conclusive!"

"According to the rules of the family, those who commit the crime of using power for personal gain will be fined and suspended for inspection, or deprived of their positions. If they have a significant impact on the family due to their use of power for personal gain, they can be revoked and expelled from the family at the most!"

Zhou Yang looked deeply at his nephew who was kneeling on the ground. Every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Zhou Guangxiang's heart heavily, causing his body to tremble, not daring to raise his head to look at him.

This shows that he is really ashamed in his heart, and he is indeed afraid.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang continued with his expression unmoved: "Although you used your power for personal gain, it didn't cause any major evil after all. In view of your past credit to the family, you can be punished and left in office."

"But as the patriarch, you should be a role model for the monks of the entire clan, but now you are taking the lead in breaking the rules. If you just punished him lightly, how could you be able to convince the public?"

"So, as the supreme elder of the family, I will impose a penalty of depriving you of the position of the patriarch and exiling you to the Immortal Cultivation World of Liuyun Continent for a hundred years!"

"Zhou Guangxiang, are you convinced?"

Zhou Yang said at the end, his voice suddenly increased a lot, and the thunderous shout like Hong Zhong Da Lu suddenly exploded in Zhou Guangxiang's ears.

Zhou Guangxiang's body trembled, and finally raised his head, with tears in his eyes trembling: "Nephew is convinced, nephew is ashamed of the family, ashamed of Ninth Uncle, Ninth Uncle's punishment, nephew is convinced!"

"What are you crying for? Dare to act like a man, bleed without tears, since you have committed a crime knowingly, you should naturally be mentally prepared to bear the consequences!"

Zhou Yang shouted angrily, flung his sleeves, and left the cave directly.

Of course he understood in his heart why Zhou Guangxiang was crying, why he was crying.

Since the Zhou family established the clan, there has never been such a patriarch who has been deprived of the position of the patriarch.

In the past, each generation of the patriarch of the Zhou family was either succeeded by his successor after he died, or, like Zhou Minghan and Zhou Yang, the patriarch's position was passed on to the outstanding children of the younger generation.

As the longest-serving patriarch of the Zhou family, Zhou Guangxiang should have become a model for every Zhou family patriarch to follow in the future, and a family ancestor admired and respected by the younger generations of the Zhou family.

But because of this incident, he became the first patriarch of the Zhou family to be dismissed during his tenure, leaving an indelible stain in his life.

His fate will also serve as a living example to warn the successors of the patriarch, telling them not to think that being the patriarch will enable them to act rashly.

One can imagine how big the gap is from an example that later generations followed to a negative example used by later generations to warn themselves.

It is normal for Zhou Guangxiang to regret crying because of this.

In order to teach this nephew more lessons, Zhou Yang did not tell him at this time that he had decided to let his son Zhou Tongxuan succeed him as the patriarch.

Naturally, before the official announcement of this order, Zhou Guangxiang was still the patriarch of the Zhou family.

In the following days, when the Zhou family cultivators from all over the country rushed to Xijiao Island to meet Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the Zhou family, Zhou Yang himself left the Rhinoceros Island and went to the mountain gate of Huangshamen.

This time, when he went to Huangshamen, Zhou Yang's purpose was to end the cause and effect of that year.

"This is a [Jade Liquid Golden Elixir]. In order to exchange it, Zhou killed three Jindan stage monks in a row in the Floating Cloud Continent Cultivation World!"

"In front of Senior Cao today, Zhou fulfilled his promise to give this thing to you Huangshamen, I hope you can use it for your own use."

Inside the Huangshamen Mountain Gate, among the cemeteries of the ancestors of the sects of all dynasties, Zhou Yang, accompanied by Xu Jinyao, the current head of Huangshamen, took out a copy of [Jade Liquid Gold Pill] in front of the tomb after sacrificing the tomb of Cao Wenjin. , raised his hand and handed it to Xu Jinyao, fulfilling his promise to Cao Wenjin back then.

When he was still a monk in the foundation-building period, Cao Wenjin invested heavily in him and supported him and their Zhou family to grow and develop.

Today, he also voted for peach and reciprocated with Li, and repaid the other party's original investment and kindness several times.

After that, the kindness between him and Huang Shamen was completely cut off.

In the next one or two hundred years, he will continue to fulfill the agreement to protect Huang Shamen for five hundred years, but he will not help Huang Shamen to do anything beyond the agreement.

"Senior Zhou is very kind, the junior and Huangshamen are all grateful, and Patriarch Cao has a spirit in the sky, and he will definitely thank the seniors for this!"

In front of the tombstone, Xu Jinyao firmly held the jade bottle in his hand, bowed deeply to Zhou Yang, and expressed his gratitude with a look of excitement and excitement on his face.

He thought that he might not be able to get this treasure during his reign.

Because he often asks himself, if it is his own words, for the sake of the sect, he will never give this kind of treasure that can create a Jindan cultivator to a person who may threaten him before the expiration of the five-hundred-year agreement. The opponent of the sect.

Cao Wenjin's agreement with Zhou Yang at the beginning was only to let him find a copy of [Jade Liquid Golden Pill] for Huangshamen if he was able, but he did not give him a time limit.

If Zhou Yang had been more cruel, he would have given this thing to Huang Shamen before the five-hundred-year period was consummated.

At that time, even if someone of their Huangshamen can rely on this thing to form a pill, they will no longer be able to pose any threat to Zhou Yang, who is no longer restricted by the contract.

Even if Zhou Yang was more vicious, he could give them the [Jade Liquid Golden Elixir] with his front feet, and after the five-hundred-year period passed on his back feet, he would immediately turn over their hands to destroy their Huangshamen and regain this treasure.

At that time, their Huangshamen has been destroyed, and the Zhou family has the final say in this boundless sand sea and immortal world. If this matter is spread out, what is it?

Of course, this is because his own vision is too narrow, and he doesn't understand Zhou Yang's ambitions, so he has such worries.

Zhou Yang is someone who wants to live a long and happy life. How could he do such a self-defeating thing for petty profits?

In the future, he will be able to transcend the "Inner Demon Tribulation" by transforming into a Pill Jie Ying. If he deliberately changes the concept in this way and does something that is not in line with his original intention, the power of the "Inner Demon Tribulation" will definitely increase.

How could Zhou Yang do such a trivial matter.

What's more, it's not that he looks down on Huang Shamen, in his eyes now, Xiao Xiao Huang Shamen, even if he has returned to the heyday of the original double golden elixir, he can also be destroyed in the palm of his hand.

Xu Jinyao doesn't know the situation now, and when he knows about Zhou Yang's record in the Floating Cloud Continent's Immortal Cultivation World, he will understand how ridiculous his thoughts are.

He didn't stop at Huangshamen, and thanks to Xu Jinyao's thousands of thanks, Zhou Yang quickly returned to the family.

In the family, Zhou Yang met all the family foundation-building cultivators who came to see him, but except for those newly promoted foundation-building cultivators who gave some things as rewards according to the rules, the rest were just simple receptions.

Over the past few decades, the number of foundation-building cultivators in the Zhou family has increased a lot, and now the total number of foundation-building cultivators has reached thirty-five.

And thanks to the rich supply of resources in the family, among the thirty-five foundation-building cultivators, including Zhou Tongxuan, four foundation-building cultivators are in the ninth-layer realm of foundation-building and can try to open up the Purple Mansion at any time.

Among them, Zhou Tongxuan had already used [Purple Heart Chalcedony] to open up the Purple Mansion and failed to mention it. In Zhou Yang's view, the other three could give them a chance to give them a try.

The Zhou family in the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Realm has not seen any new cultivators in the Zifu period for a long time. This is a bit abnormal for the current size of the Zhou family.

Of course, these things have to be discussed later. The thing that Zhou Yang dealt with first was to reward Zhou Ronghua, Zhou Rongxiang, Zhou Sheng and the other three.

At this time, the number of Zhou family monks gathered on the oasis of Rhino Horn Island has reached more than 1,500 people. Zhou Yang let all these people enter the Zhou family's ancestral hall. In the courtyard of the ancestral hall, Zhou Ronghua and three people Facing all the clansmen, he recounted the experience of the battle at Xuanshan Mountain with emotion.

These words, they had long ago arranged in their hearts and secretly many times, but when they said it at this time, it was indeed heart-warming and yearning.

After they finished speaking, while the other Zhou family members were still digesting the information revealed in their words, Zhou Yang had already taken over their words, and delivered his speech with a solemn expression and a high tone.

"Ronghua, Rongxiang, Sheng, and the three of them, including Rongguang and Shengping who fell in that battle~www.wuxiamtl.com~ are all good boys of my Zhou family. In order to protect the outstanding descendants of the family at the juncture of life and death, The heroic performance of preserving the strength of the family, sacrificing oneself, and sacrificing oneself for others is worthy of emulation by all of you here."

"I hope that if you encounter their situation at the time, you will live up to the surnames you have, the blood you have flowing, and the teachings and sacrifices of the elders of the family to you!"

"If I, the Zhou family cultivator, can be like them, everyone can be dedicated to the family, to the family wholeheartedly, and to be loyal to the family wholeheartedly, then my Zhou family will last forever and forever!"

"I, Zhou Yuanyang, as the highest-ranking elder in the Zhou family today, and as the supreme elder of the Zhou family, will always be proud of having such brave and fearless juniors in the family as Ronghua, Rongxiang, Sheng and them!"

"At the same time, I also sincerely hope that among the younger generation, there will be someone like them in the future, who will make such a feat that I am proud of you!"

"As long as my Zhou family cultivator can make such a feat, he will be listed on the [Heroic List] of the family, and will share the incense of all generations with the ancestors and martyrs. At the same time, the family will never treat everyone badly for the family. The heroic tribe who contributed and sacrificed!"
