The upgrade of spiritual veins is not something that happens overnight. The spiritual pulse level of Haoyang Cave was actually upgraded from the third-order low-grade to the third-order mid-grade, already one year after the Spirit Gathering Array was deployed.
After the spiritual vein level was upgraded to the third-level mid-level, the spiritual energy of the Haoyang Cave spiritual vein was finally successfully directed to a sand dune on the ground. In fact, it cannot be called a sand dune.
Because after the water demon flooded Haoyang Cave, the sand and dunes around Haoyang Cave had a large amount of water vapor accumulated underground, and a large number of desert plants grew in a few years. The Zhou family had already arranged for mortals to
Plant trees and grass everywhere on the sand dunes selected as Lingshan.
So now this sand dune, which is only three hundred meters high, has now turned into a mountain with lush vegetation.
The transformation of the sand dune into a spiritual mountain is not just a change in appearance. After the spiritual energy is transferred from the underground to the ground, it means that the Zhou family can open up a large number of spiritual fields on this new spiritual mountain like they did on Yuquan Peak.
In fact, it was because after upgrading the spiritual veins they could obtain at least a hundred acres of spiritual land that Zhou Yang and Zhou Minghan finally made up their minds to upgrade the spiritual veins.
The importance of the spiritual field to a cultivating family is undoubted. The spiritual rice produced in the spiritual field is not only food that the family monks must eat, but can also be sold in exchange for spiritual stones.
Compared with Yuquan Peak, which has the same third-level middle-grade spiritual veins, the total annual value of spiritual rice produced by one acre of spiritual fields on Yuquan Peak is between 15 and 20 spiritual stones. Even if all costs are removed, the net income is only
Can reach more than 10 spirit stones.
If a hundred acres of spiritual fields can be opened up in Haoyang Grottoes, even if the output of the spiritual fields here is not as high as those at Yuquan Peak due to the newly opened spiritual fields, it will not take sixty years for the capital to be recovered.
Therefore, this investment will definitely yield more gains than investment in the long run.
The only thing Zhou Yang regrets is that the "Garrison Golden Ge Formation" that originally guarded the spiritual veins of Haoyang Cave was not put away in time because he was in a hurry to retreat. As a result, the water demon destroyed several of the formation flags.
, it can no longer be used.
Such a third-level spiritual mountain is not protected by a third-level formation, and its safety is a big problem.
Without the protection of the third-level formation, the only way to protect the safety of Lingshan is to have foundation-building monks permanently stationed there.
Originally, Zhou Yang wanted to be stationed here to guard Lingshan Mountain, but Zhou Minghan strongly disagreed with this matter. He believed that he, the patriarch, should be stationed here at Yuquan Peak, the ancestral home of the family. Therefore, the final task of guarding Haoyang Mountain fell to him.
It came to Zhou Xuanyu.
Shortly after the completion of Haoyang Mountain, Zhou Xuanhao also collected all the materials through his family and successfully refined two batches of "Qing Ling San" elixir.
He is currently physically injured and cannot refine the third-level elixir, which takes a long time, but there is still no problem in refining the second-level high-grade elixir.
With the help of these two batches of "Qing Ling San" elixir, in the next two years, the Zhou family had five more Qi training monks, Zhou Xuanchen, Zhou Xuanying, Zhou Xuanhe, Zhou Xuanjin, and Chen Ting, who raised their cultivation to the ninth level of Qi training.
, became the new elder of the Zhou family.
Among them, Zhou Xuanchen and four other Zhou family monks naturally became the elders of the Zhou family after their cultivation reached the ninth level of Qi training.
As for Chen Ting, the husband of Zhou Xuanyan, the fourth elder of the Zhou family, he was specially approved to become the elder of the Zhou family after Zhou Yang held a vote at the elders meeting. He is also the only elder with a foreign surname among the ten elders of the ninth level of Qi training in the Zhou family.
Chen Ting is actually a little younger than Zhou Xuanyan. He married into the Zhou family when he was in his forties. He has been loyal to the Zhou family for decades, so as a monk with a foreign surname, he became the elder of the Zhou family.
Most monks still have no objections.
Moreover, Zhou Yang also intended to use Chen Ting to set an example to attract outstanding monks from outside to join the Zhou family and enhance the family's strength.
He had such an idea because his adoptive mother Zhou Xuanyu recently sent him a message saying that it was time for Zhou Yuanchun and Zhou Yuanzhen, two female monks of the "Yuan" generation of the Zhou family, to find husbands and start a family for them.
After careful calculation, Zhou Yang is now fifty-two years old. Zhou Yuanchun is the sixth oldest, seven years older than him. Although Zhou Yuanzhen is younger, he is still over forty years old.
These two women are both low-level spiritual root cultivators and have no hope of building a foundation in this life. The younger Zhou Yuanzhen is only at the fifth level of Qi training and has just broken through.
According to an unwritten rule within the Zhou family, monks of the same generation in the Zhou family do not agree to form Taoist couples, even if they are far apart in blood.
Although this rule is not written down in the family rules, the elders have warned the younger monks since they were young.
As Zhou Yuanchun and Zhou Yuanzhen grew older and gained more knowledge, the little bit of admiration they had for Zhou Yang had long been shattered by reality.
Therefore, when they reach the age of marriage, they must look for sons-in-law and get married like Zhou Xuanyu, Zhou Xuanyan and other female elders did.
Of course, the Zhou family's family rules certainly do not state that female monks must recruit a son-in-law to start a family.
However, as a female cultivator with not very good spiritual qualifications, she has received preferential treatment from all aspects of her family since she was a child, as well as all kinds of ideological teachings and indoctrination from her elders.
Stay single.
Being single also requires strength!
As a female monk who comes from a family, she has enjoyed all kinds of preferential treatment from her family since she was a child. Unless she can successfully establish a foundation and become a foundation-building monk, she cannot truly remain single for the rest of her life.
Once you are over sixty years old and still single, and you are not a monk in the foundation-building stage, you will be gossiped about by other tribesmen!
Of course, Zhou Yang has no intention of forcing two sisters of the same clan to marry, but as the clan leader, he must consider the thoughts of the clan members, especially since Zhou Xuanyu, the adoptive mother, personally summoned him to explain the matter, so he must pay attention to it.
.
Fortunately, Zhou Yuanchun and Zhou Yuanzhen did not object to having a son-in-law as their bride-in-law. They just said that they wanted to personally select the bride-in-law and did not want to accept forced family arrangements.
Of course Zhou Yang fully agrees with this. A melon that is forced is not sweet. Of course he understands this truth.
In order to handle this matter well, after the news spread that Chen Ting's cousin, a monk, had become the elder of the Zhou family, he specially sent people to spread the news of the Zhou family's recruitment of a son-in-law in Fangshi.
Recruiting a son-in-law for various foundation-building immortal cultivating families has always been something that casual cultivators talk about, because for casual cultivators, joining a cultivating immortal family through this method is the fastest way to achieve class advancement.
No matter how other worlds of cultivating immortals are, the world of boundless sand sea cultivators has a situation where there are more men than women. On average, there is only one female monk for every five monks.
Therefore, in the boundless sea of sand cultivating world, for most casual cultivators and even family cultivators, being able to marry a female cultivator as a wife is a very honorable thing.
When a casual cultivator marries into a cultivating family, although it is a marriage, it is also true that his wife is a cultivator. This fact alone is attractive to many casual cultivators.
Not to mention, once you marry into a cultivating family, you are transformed from a casual cultivator into a family cultivator. Not only can you get guidance from the family's senior cultivators on your future cultivation, but you can also use the family's name to facilitate your work when you are outside.
There are many people who want to marry into a cultivating family. Of course, each cultivating family has many requirements when it comes to recruiting a son-in-law.
According to the conditions for recruiting a son-in-law formulated by the sisters Zhou Yang, Zhou Yuanchun, and Zhou Yuanzhen after discussion, monks over eighty years old were first excluded, and then monks with low-grade spiritual qualifications were excluded. Finally, based on character, appearance, personality, etc.
Detailed requirements have been made in all aspects and checkpoints have been set up one after another.
Therefore, the "Ask God Spell" is indeed a good spell.
Under the "Qing Shen Technique", even if some casual cultivators pass the preliminary selection, at the final level, it will be easily found out how many times they have been in and out of various "Feng Yue Houses" and whether they have forced other women.
Have experienced or done something extremely evil.
Those with bad personalities and low conduct, no matter how good their spiritual qualifications, how high their cultivation level, or how handsome they are, cannot become the son-in-law of the Zhou family.
So, after a year-long screening process, Zhou Yuanchun and Zhou Yuanzhen finally selected a husband they were satisfied with.
Among them, the husband selected by Zhou Yuanchun is named Tan Qiu, who is fifty-four years old, has a seventh-level Qi cultivation level, and has middle-grade spiritual root qualifications.
Although this person is no longer a Yuanyang person, when he was young and ignorant, he was taken into the "Fengyue Tower" by an old man to play for a month. After that, he became aware of the matter and never had an affair with any woman again.
The husband chosen by Zhou Yuanzhen is named Huang Yi, who is forty-seven years old, has a seventh-level Qi cultivation level, and has middle-grade spiritual root qualifications.
Compared with Zhou Yuanchun's husband Tan Qiu, Huang Yi not only still maintains Yuanyang's body, but also has a better appearance.
In fact, both women fell in love with Huang Yi at that time and almost staged a farce of "two women fighting for their husbands".
Fortunately, Zhou Yang directly asked Huang Yi for his opinion at that time, and Huang Yi himself was very realistic and directly chose Zhou Yuanzhen, who was younger and more beautiful. This made Zhou Yuanchun very angry.
Interestingly, Huang Yi himself showed a look of regret when he later learned that Zhou Yuanchun was the great-granddaughter of Zhou Minghan, the patriarch of the Zhou family.
As a bystander, Zhou Yang almost laughed out loud when he saw this scene.
He understands Huang Yi's feelings very well. As a man, if he wants to choose one of two strange women to be his wife, of course he must choose the young and beautiful one first.
But as a man who wants to achieve a class jump by getting married, of course it is more cost-effective to choose a richer and more powerful woman as his wife!
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world. As a casual cultivator, Huang Yi is certainly not bad at being a worldly person. Naturally, he knows that the Zhou family will not let him choose again.
Moreover, after offending Zhou Yuanchun with his first choice, if he chooses Zhou Yuanchun again, let alone whether Zhou Yuanchun will ignore him, even Zhou Yuanzhen, the wife he has booked now, will probably want to treat him as "this" in the future.
"The heartless man" is skinned and cramped, how can he continue to hang out in the Zhou family in the future?
