"I hope Master He will forgive me for coming here rashly and disturbing the master's spiritual practice."
In front of a quiet and simple cave mansion, Zhou Yang looked at He Canghai, the third-level mid-level formation mage who walked out of the cave mansion, and gently cupped his hands to express his apology.
At this time, two months had passed since the Zhou family held a family meeting. After discussing the post-war recovery and reconstruction work with a group of family elders, he hurried to Huangshamen to seek healing elixir for his father Zhou Xuanhao.
, by the way, please invite the "Master He" in front of you to come to the Zhou family and arrange a "Seven Star Spiritual Detection Array" for the Zhou family.
When it comes to asking for the elixir, Guo Shuyun, the master of Huangshamen's general affairs hall, has promised to help. He also paid a deposit of five thousand spirit stones in advance for purchasing the elixir. As for when Huangshamen will send people to Liuyunzhou to cultivate the immortal world.
Procurement transactions are beyond his control.
Then he found out the location of He Canghai's cave from Huangshamen monk Ma Jingtao, and rushed here to visit.
"It turns out to be the Master of the Zhou Family. Why, is the Master of the Zhou Family here here to arrange the formation as mentioned last time?"
A look of surprise flashed across He Canghai's face, and he didn't mean to invite Zhou Yang to sit in the cave. He looked directly at him and asked him why he came.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang was also surprised in his heart.
When he came here, he heard Ma Jingtao say that He Canghai had been obsessed with formations since he was young, and his reaction to the world was very dull, slow, and could even be said to be uneducated.
Looking at it now, it turns out that there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.
However, he didn't have any dissatisfaction with this, and in fact he felt relieved.
He would rather deal with such technical nerds than those sophisticated old foxes.
Dang Ji replied with a smile: "I wonder why the master still remembers this. Yes, Zhou came here this time just to ask the master to help set up a [Seven Star Spiritual Detection Array]."
"So, have you brought all the spiritual stones? Let's agree first, not one of the ten thousand spiritual stones should be missing."
As He Canghai spoke, he gestured to Zhou Yang, as if he was afraid that Zhou Yang might hear wrongly.
"No problem, Zhou has brought the spirit stone. Master He, you can take it away now!"
Zhou Yang touched his hand on his waist and took out a storage bag filled with spiritual stones and handed it to He Canghai.
He Canghai also took the storage bag without any courtesy at all, and immediately released his spiritual consciousness to explore it and count the quantity.
After a moment, he nodded slightly, looked at Zhou Yang with a slightly softened expression and said: "Since Fellow Daoist Zhou has brought even the spirit stones, He will go with Fellow Daoist Zhou, but before that, Fellow Daoist please wait.
He needs to report to the sect in a few days and prepare some formation materials."
"It's easy to talk about. Master He, just go ahead and prepare."
A few days later, He Canghai prepared the materials and went to the Yuquan Lake Oasis with Zhou Yang.
On Yuquan Peak, He Canghai walked throughout the entire Lingshan Mountain, and finally found a suitable place to set up the formation by the Yuquan Lake at the foot of the mountain.
Different from the "Small Five Elements Lost Tracing Formation" in Zhou Yang's hand and the "Garrison Earth Golden Ge Formation" arranged by the Zhou family at the Haoyang Cave Spirit Vein, the "Seven Star Spirit Detection Formation" is a fixed formation. This formation
Once laid down, it cannot be moved away.
After He Canghai found the place to set up the formation, he spent three months refining and laying seven formation bases before he successfully deployed the formation.
It took such a long time to set up, and he had to pay for the materials himself, but He Canghai only charged 10,000 spirit stones for the arrangement fee, which was considered a reasonable price.
Although Zhou Yang didn't understand the formation, it didn't mean that he didn't know the price of hiring someone to set up the formation. Therefore, after the formation was completed and accepted, he paid an extra thousand spirit stones for the hard work.
Although He Canghai was not very understanding of the world, he did not refuse the benefits brought to his doorstep and accepted the gift with a smile.
"Well, I have finally finished one thing I have been thinking about. With the [Seven-Star Spirit Detection Array], from now on, the monks in the family who are in the qi training period will no longer have to worry about testing the spiritual roots of mortal children!"
After seeing He Canghai off, Zhou Minghan and Zhou Yang looked at the newly built "Seven Star Spiritual Detection Array" with happy smiles on their faces.
The "Seven Star Spirit Detection Array" itself is of secondary importance, but the meaning it represents is extremely important. If a family can have enough money to hire someone to arrange this array, it means that the family is now in a prosperous and prosperous state.
It was not that the Zhou family couldn't afford such a sum of money before, but at that time, the Zhou family had to save every spiritual stone to prepare for the purchase of the Foundation Establishment Pill. How could they be willing to spend such a large amount of money to purchase such a thing?
Non-essential items?
That's why Zhou Minghan said that he had completed something he was worried about, because the plan to build the "Seven Star Spiritual Detection Array" had already been decided when he took over the Zhou family.
Of course, he had more than one thing on his mind, so after smiling, he immediately looked at Zhou Yang and said:
"The next step is to plan Xiaojiu's foundation-building celebration and your promotion to the third-level weapon refiner. Now that the demonic chaos has subsided and everything has returned to normal, holding a celebration in our family at this time will not only boost the confidence and morale of the tribe, but also
Greatly enhance the family’s reputation!”
Although reputation is false, the benefits it brings are real.
The greater the reputation of the Zhou family, the more attention the monks of the Zhou family will receive from other families and casual cultivators when they go out. It will be much easier to make friends or seek help.
Even the bandits will choose what they want when they start to plunder, and they will not easily choose members of famous families to attack.
At the same time, the greater the reputation of the Zhou family, the more trustworthy the products sold in the stores of the Zhou family will be. Even when casual cultivators want to choose a family to join them, they will give priority to these famous families.
Therefore, Zhou Yang did not directly object to Zhou Minghan's plan to hold a celebration for himself.
He even gave some advice: "What my great-grandfather said is reasonable, but my grandson thinks that we should either not do it, or we should do it bigger and better. Great-grandfather, you can now send out invitations widely and even have people come to the market."
While promoting, let me say that five years from now, my Zhou family will hold a foundation-building celebration at Yuquan Peak, and everyone who comes to participate in the celebration will have enough spiritual rice, spiritual wine, and spiritual flesh!"
"Oh, what do you mean by this..." Zhou Minghan's expression changed, and he looked at Zhou Yang in surprise.
"You are right. Today, our Zhou family no longer needs to hide and worry about being discovered where the family oasis is. We now have three foundation-building monks and two foundation-building pill reserves. This kind of
The strength can completely intimidate those young people, so that they dare not take any chances with our family's spiritual mountain."
Zhou Yang nodded and expressed his thoughts calmly.
Opening up the location of the family oasis to let outsiders know is something that a powerful cultivating family must do, and it is also something that is of great benefit to the development of the family.
There were many monks who knew the location of the Zhou Family's Yuquan Lake Oasis before, but there were even more people who didn't know. No matter how loud the name "Yuquan Zhou Family" was, it would give people a very empty feeling.
As the saying goes: what you hear is false, what you see is true.
No matter how loud the name "Yuquan Zhou Family" is, it is not as useful to outsiders who don't know the truth as if they come and take a look in person.
If they can see the Zhou family's oasis and spiritual mountain, and can find the Zhou family, those monks who are not familiar with the Zhou family will feel more at ease when doing business with the Zhou family, and will give priority to the Zhou family.
"Okay, since you want to make it bigger, let's make it bigger. I'll take care of it myself this time. Then I will spread the word and say that after this celebration, a small exchange party will be held to thank you.
Participating fellow foundation builders!"
After Zhou Minghan pondered for a while, he finally nodded in agreement with Zhou Yang's suggestion.
The plan was decided, Zhou Minghan left the oasis in person, went to the surrounding families and sent out invitations one by one to invite their family patriarchs to come and watch the ceremony. Some famous casual cultivators in the foundation building period were also among his invitations.
Zhou Yang sits in charge of the family, practicing while handling some family chores.
After about half a year of this, Zhou Yang, who was practicing, suddenly received a letter asking for help.
"What? A third-level high-grade monster appears in Haoyang Cave!"
In the cave at the top of Yuquan Peak, Zhou Yang looked at the message attached to the flying sword in his hand, his face full of shock.
The summons for Feijian was from his father, Zhou Xuanhao. After being seriously injured by Xuemoluo and returning to his family, Zhou Xuanhao went to Haoyang Cave to recuperate and sit down.
This is also the reason why Zhou Yang has never returned to Haoyang Cave to practice. Yuquan Peak cannot be without the foundation-building monks.
But now, Zhou Xuanhao, who was originally hiding in Haoyang Cave to recuperate, sent him a message from Feijian asking for help, saying that a third-order high-grade water monster suddenly appeared in the underground river in Haoyang Cave.
beast!
Immediately, Zhou Yang quickly sent a message Feijian to his father, asking him to leave the scene temporarily, and then rushed towards Haoyang Cave at full speed.
More than an hour later, Zhou Yang Yujian rushed to the oasis outside the Haoyang Cave Spiritual Veins, and met his father Zhou Xuanhao who was monitoring the oasis, as well as Zhou Xuanyan, the fourth elder of the Zhou family who built the oasis, and his mother Lin Yuting.
"About two hours ago, a black-scaled monster fish exuding the aura of a third-level high-grade monster broke through the formation in the underground river and appeared in the underground river in the spiritual vein. Fortunately, there was a formation warning, allowing my father to be in time.
Activate the [Garrison Golden Ge Formation] to scare it back into the underground river."
Zhou Xuanhao explained what happened to Zhou Yang with a pale face, and his voice was trembling.
This was not because he was timid, but because he forcibly used a large amount of mana to control the third-order formation "Gutu Jinge Formation", which affected the wounds on his meridians and caused him unbearable pain.
"My child understands. Father, please go back to Yuquan Peak to recuperate from your injuries. I'll leave it to my child to deal with it."
Zhou Yang held his father's body nervously, feeling shocked and angry.
Although Zhou Xuanhao's injury could not be cured, it was temporarily stabilized and did not continue to deteriorate. However, after this incident, there may be some bad changes.
"Be careful. Water-type monsters have a home bonus in the dark river. Don't go down to the river to fight with them. If it doesn't work, we can give up Haoyang Cave for the time being!"
Zhou Xuanhao also knew that it would be of no use if he continued to stay here. He did not object to Zhou Yang's words asking him to go back to recuperate. He just reminded him with a worried look on his face, fearing that his impulsiveness would cause a disaster.
"Father, don't worry, your child won't be brave."
Zhou Yang nodded, his face full of solemnity.
Zhou Xuanhao is right, water-type monsters have a home bonus in the water, and non-water-type Kung Fu and thunder-type Kung Fu cultivators enter the water to fight against them, and they may not be able to exert even 80% of their strength.
Fire-based martial arts cultivators like Zhou Yang were even more severely suppressed.
Furthermore, water monsters rarely appear in the Immortal World of the Boundless Sand Sea, so that for most of the water monsters that appear, no one knows their origins.
This means that Zhou Yang cannot understand the methods of the water monster before the battle and then prescribe the right medicine as he did with other monsters before.
