Cultivation Begins From The Desert

He was probably accustomed to Zhou Yang's superhuman performances. The old patriarch Zhou Minghan wasn't too surprised that he completed the first level of "Flying Star Sword Art" in less than two months. He just praised him a few times as usual. sentence.

And as they returned to the family, as expected by Zhou Yang, the entire Yuquan Peak was hung with white flags, and the bereaved Zhou family members could be heard weeping and crying everywhere.

On this Yuquan Peak, not only the monks of the Zhou family lived, but also the mortals who were directly descended within two generations of the monks of the Zhou family. Like Zhou Xuanyu's two sons who had no spiritual roots, they took a family of dozens of people to live with her. next to the yard.

This is the first time Zhou Yang has seen this kind of scene in the mountains in decades. At first glance, he was really touched.

"Is it uncomfortable? It's just right to be uncomfortable!"

"Why is our family's cultivator's cohesion stronger than the loose cultivator or even the sect cultivator? It's because every cultivator in our family has lived and practiced together since childhood. In addition to having the same ancestor, we also have friendships and family members. We should mourn and mourn the death of a friend and friend."

"On the other hand, the monks of the sect, although there is also the friendship of master and apprentice and the love of the same family, but it is absolutely impossible to be like our Zhou family now. The death of some low-level monks can trigger the mourning of the whole sect."

"Look at the mountains covered in plains, all of which were done spontaneously by the clansmen, and the sound of weeping is also sincere."

At the top of Yuquan Peak, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan came behind Zhou Yang at some point, and the words just now came from his mouth.

"Great-grandfather's meaning, grandson understands, but compared with the current Manshan Husu, grandson is more willing to put red silk on the mountain, let the clan people use wine as a song, and celebrate with a smile on the family's new cultivator. The new Zifu, or even the new Jindan!" Zhou Yang turned back to look at the old patriarch, and muttered to himself in a low tone.

Zhou Minghan heard the words, his expression changed, he couldn't help looking at him deeply and said, "I look forward to that day, if that day does come, you must go to the grave of the old man and hang a piece of red silk, so that the old man can also Follow along with joy and congratulations!"

Hearing his dejected words, Zhou Yang couldn't help frowning and said: "Great-grandfather, you are too pessimistic. The life span of a cultivator in the foundation-building period can last for two hundred and forty years, and you are only less than two hundred years old now. When the time comes, the big ship of the Zhou family has to be steered by you."

"Stop, regarding the matter of taking over as the patriarch, Xiao Jiu, you don't need to persuade, the old man is determined, no one persuades it is useless, you still think about how to reform the family after you take over as the patriarch, now there are more of you in the Zhou family. Father and son, two foundation-building cultivators, some of the previous systems should also be changed!"

Zhou Minghan waved his hand. He didn't want to discuss the succession with Zhou Yang at all. Obviously, he really made up his mind to step back behind the scenes as he said.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang felt helpless.

Ever since he returned to the family, he talked about it with his father, Zhou Xuanhao, who stayed behind. He asked his father, Zhou Xuantai and other family elders to persuade the old patriarch to withdraw his decision, but the result was not ideal at all.

Zhou Xuanhao and the others not only did not persuade the old patriarch to withdraw his decision, but they were turned against by the old patriarch and changed to support him to take over the position of the patriarch, which made him feel uncomfortable.

However, it is hard to suffer, but what needs to be done has to be done.

Half a month after returning to the family, Zhou Yang took over the genealogy handed over by the old patriarch Zhou Minghan in front of the monks of the whole family, and officially became the fourth-generation patriarch of the Yuquan Zhou family, while the old patriarch Zhou Minghan was Retired and became the first grand elder of the family.

After taking over as the patriarch, Zhou Yang's first job was to listen to the clan elders' reports on the family's internal affairs, personnel, and finances.

"My Zhou family currently has one cultivator in the late stage of foundation-building, two cultivators in the early stage of foundation-building, four elders on the ninth floor of qi training, six cultivators in the late stage of qi training, eight cultivators in the middle stage of qi training, and three cultivators in the early stage of qi training. There are two Xiantian monks of the Guangzi generation, a total of twenty-six people."

"In terms of relatives, there are currently five relatives of monks, including two monks in the late stage of Qi training and three monks in the middle stage of Qi training."

"As for the secular people, according to statistics three years ago, there are 113,720 mortals with my Zhou family blood on several oasis, and there are also 38,465 foreign mortals. people."

After Zhou Yang and the others returned to the family for adjustment, the elders of the Zhou family had become the second elder Zhou Xuanbin, who was in charge of managing the family's personnel. For example, when Zhou Yang held a family meeting, he was the first to report.

After listening to the data reported by him, even if Zhou Yang and other participants had already prepared for the bad data in this regard, their hearts sank after hearing it, and everyone's face was ugly.

Zhou Yang still remembered that when he went down the mountain for the first time at the age of seventeen, the Zhou family was not the only cultivator of the "Ming" generation, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan. people.

But now, just over a dozen years have passed, and all the monks of the "light" generation are sitting down, and there is no one left.

The cultivators of the "Xuan" generation, who were the backbone of the family, also lost two important figures, Zhou Xuanyu and Zhou Xuanjing, and Zhou Xuantai, who had a broken arm. That's three people.

The monks of the "Guang" generation have died, the monks of the "Xuan" generation have suffered heavy losses, the monks of the "Yuan" generation have not grown up, and the monks of the "Guang" generation are still children...

Only now did Zhou Yang know how bad the Zhou family's situation was, and why the old patriarch Zhou Minghan insisted on retiring.

"What about the financial income and expenditure? Seventh Uncle, go ahead and talk about it!"

He looked solemnly at the third elder Zhou Xuanlin who succeeded Zhou Xuanyu as the general affairs elder of the family.

The family finance has always been managed by the general affairs elder, so the general affairs elder has always been the confidant of the patriarch, but in the current situation of the Zhou family, as long as Zhou Xuanlin doesn't do anything, Zhou Yang will not be able to replace him.

"In terms of finances, my Zhou family currently has a third-order mid-grade spiritual vein, a third-order low-grade spiritual vein, a second-order low-grade spiritual vein, 220 acres of spiritual fields, 30 acres of spiritual medicine gardens, and a large-scale red flame iron. One mine and one medium-sized iron concentrate."

"In these industries, the annual net income of Lingtian is around 1,500 spirit stones. On average, the spirit medicines in the spirit medicine garden can provide a net income of about 700 spirit stones each year. The annual net income of iron ore is about 5 The Bailing Stone is up and down, the red flame iron ore has not been mined, and the income cannot be counted for the time being."

"In addition, the family now has one place of origin for the third-order spiritual item [Earth Origin Spirit Milk], one high-grade second-grade spirit wood dragon scale tree, six low-grade second-grade spirit fruit fire crystal jujube trees, and second-grade low-grade spirit fruit yellow jade pear tree. Three trees, 32 first-grade high-grade sand camels, 34 first-grade high-grade spirit fruit and white jade grapes, and 134 first-grade middle-grade spirit beasts, Phoenix-crowned turkeys.”

"Let's talk about the treasure house, there are currently four third-grade low-grade instruments in the family treasury, nineteen second-grade high-grade instruments, 33 second-grade middle-grade instruments, fifty-seven second-grade low-grade instruments, and another two. There are twenty-seven high-grade spiritual talismans, forty-nine second-grade mid-grade spiritual talismans, twenty-one second-grade low-grade spiritual talismans, and two second-grade mid-grade formations and five second-grade low-grade formations.”

"In addition, there are still a lot of materials such as monsters and refined iron in the treasure house. The value of these things is not easy to calculate. If you only count the value of materials, it should not exceed 5,000 spirit stones."

"Finally speaking, the biggest expenditure of the family is the dedication of the family monks. According to the standards of the clan, the monks in the later stage of foundation building can receive 500 spirit stones from the family each year. 150 spirit stones are enshrined, and these monks in my Zhou family are now excluding those who do not meet the conditions for offering offerings, and other monks spend about 2,200 spirit stones a year for offering spirit stones."

"The second largest expenditure is the sacrifice to Huangshamen. Every ten years, the family needs to pay tribute to Huangshamen. In the past, the total value of the tribute materials and spirit stones must not be less than 2,000 spirit stones. Now the family has two more building Brother Ji, the offering will be increased to 3,000 spirit stones during the next tribute."

"The third largest expenditure is the subsidy for family monks who study immortal cultivation and Baiyi. This expenditure is a special expenditure and is not included in the total annual expenditure."

"Finally, the family currently has 2,478 spirit stones in its account, which is barely enough for the next year's family monks."

Zhou Xuanlin held a thick ledger in his hand, and explained the financial income and expenditure of the Zhou family item by item.

Zhou Yang was actually relieved after listening to his report~www.wuxiamtl.com~.

From the perspective of revenue and expenditure, the Zhou family's financial status is still good. Not only does it not have a financial deficit, but it has a lot of surplus every year.

This is still without calculating the income of the two shops in the market, "Yuquan Building" and "Zuixian Building", and the Chiyan iron ore has not been mined.

The Chen family has made a clear statement that once Fangshi is rebuilt later, the shops owned by various families in the original Fangshi will be returned in full, and discounts on rent will also be given.

The mining of red flame iron ore veins can also be started immediately.

Therefore, in actual calculation, the current financial performance of the Zhou family is still very good.

"Okay, now everyone knows the family's personnel and financial situation. Let's talk about internal affairs."

Zhou Yang stood up from his seat and looked at the four elders who participated in the meeting and the elders with the character "Xuan" who were in attendance.

"The first thing is to open up a branch of the Baishahe Oasis family. The ancestor of the Chen family has agreed that our Zhou family will occupy a second-order spiritual vein in the Baishahe Oasis to open up a family branch, and allow our Zhou family to migrate and live in the past."

"In return, my Zhou family needs to send a foundation-building cultivator to be stationed in the Baishahe Oasis to listen to the dispatch of the Chen family, and send at least five cultivators who are in the middle stage of Qi training and above to join the Baishahe Oasis cultivator patrol."

"Secondly, since my Zhou family now has three foundation-building cultivators, the red flame iron ore can be officially mined. My foundation-building celebration will also be held on the Haoyang Grotto Oasis in the future."

"Finally, after discussions with my father and great-grandfather, we decided to carry out a reform of the Zhou family's current family rules system. The main aspects of the reform are as follows."
