A few days after leaving the Qingping Mountain Oasis, Zhou Yang successfully returned to Yuquan Peak after five years of absence.
When he came down the mountain five years ago, he was just a high-spirited and handsome young man who had just broken through to the sixth level of Qi training.
When he returned five years later, although he was still at the sixth level of qi training, the high-spirited young man at the time had grown into a handsome young man who was six feet tall, rich and handsome. (one foot 33cm)
According to family rules, any family monk who returns from a field trip must first go to the family general affairs elder to report the situation and submit a work report.
The general elder of the Zhou family is currently appointed by the seventh elder Zhou Xuanyu. This person is the only female monk among the eight elders of the Zhou family, and is also the female monk with the highest cultivation level in the Zhou family.
Zhou Xuanyu ranks third in the "Xuan" generation. He is a direct descendant of the old patriarch Zhou Minghan. He has a middle-grade spiritual root qualification. When he reached the ninth level of Qi training, he was less than sixty years old. If he had taken the medicine at that time
If you use "Foundation Building Pill" to build a foundation, the probability of building a foundation is quite high.
It's a pity that as a woman, she is naturally inferior to men in terms of obtaining family resources. Even though she is a direct descendant of the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, in the end, all the family elders were not able to get all the family members to agree to spend all their efforts to buy her a "
"Foundation Building Pill" impacts the foundation building.
A high-grade spiritual root monk does not need the "Foundation Building Pill" to attack the foundation and has a one-third success rate. However, if a middle-grade spiritual root monk does not take the "Foundation Building Pill", the chance of a successful foundation building is less than 10%.
"Foundation Building" is the biggest difficulty in practice. If there is no spiritual elixir such as "Foundation Building Pill" to protect the monks, once the attack fails, 90% of the monks will be exploded by the mana in the meridians and their bodies will explode.
If you die, even if you are lucky enough to survive, your whole body of magic will be dispersed and you will become a disabled person.
From a high-ranking ninth-level qi-training immortal cultivator to a cripple, which immortal cultivator can withstand such a blow?
Therefore, even if someone can survive the obsession, he will not choose to live in peace, but will die as a martyr.
The danger of "Foundation Establishment" is so great that in today's world of immortal cultivation, it is difficult to find a few ninth-level Qi-training monks out of a hundred who do not have high-grade spiritual roots and "Foundation Establishment Pill".
Individuals dare to take risks and attack foundation building.
A monk who has been able to practice to the ninth level of qi training has no idea how much hardship he has suffered and how tired he has been in his life. No one wants to lose the hard-earned cultivation in one fell swoop.
Especially for monks from a foundation-building family like the Zhou family, as long as they reach the ninth level of Qi training, they will be able to rise to the top of the family and gain such great power. There is really no need to take such risks.
For these family monks, instead of risking their lives to build foundations, they might as well spend the rest of their lives working hard to earn spiritual stones and cultivate descendants of their own bloodline. In this way, they might be able to get together with the help of two or three generations of monks.
I bought the spiritual stone of "Foundation Building Pill".
Although he may be dead by then, future generations may succeed in building a foundation by relying on the "Foundation Building Pill", so his death will be worth it.
Only those monks at the ninth level of Qi training who are carefree and alone, because they are alone and envious of the long life span and powerful magical power of the monks in the foundation building stage, will dare to take the risk and attack the foundation building by force.
Once successful, the lifespan will be doubled to 240 years. In the future, whether you occupy an oasis spiritual vein and open up a cultivating family, or join a powerful cultivating family and become a guest elder, it will be infinitely better than being a casual cultivator.
times.
Even if you fail, your practice is not in vain, it can be regarded as martyrdom.
However, a very real problem is that due to the lack of resources and good skills, not many casual cultivators can reach the ninth level of Qi training before the age of sixty, even if they have middle-grade spiritual roots.
With the help of "Elixir", the chance of success in attacking the foundation building after the age of sixty will be greatly reduced, and it is almost impossible to survive.
Therefore, after comprehensive calculation, although the base of casual cultivators is huge and their determination to attack foundation building is much greater than that of family monks, the number of people who can actually succeed in foundation building is actually far lower than that of major cultivating families who rely on "foundation building pills"
The number of people building foundations.
Zhou Xuanyu is a child of the Zhou family and a direct descendant of the old patriarch Zhou Minghan. Even if she wants to take risks and attack the foundation, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan will stop her. Besides, she has been pampered since she was a child and does not have the determination.
The family did not prepare a "Foundation Building Pill" for her. She said it was a lie in her heart that she was not disappointed, but she did not resent the family because of it. Instead, she quickly recruited a young casual cultivator from outside to join the Zhou family, proving it with practical actions.
One's own loyalty to the family.
Because of this incident, all the senior members of the family, including the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, felt that they had failed her, so they made up for it by letting her serve as an elder to make up for it, so that she could sit in the family and take care of her children and descendants for a long time.
Zhou Yang's mother Lin Yuting has a very good personal relationship with this eighth aunt, and he has been favored by this eighth aunt since he was a child, so he is not worried at all about this so-called work report.
"Hey, I haven't seen you in a few years. Our Xiaojiu is getting more and more handsome. I don't know which family's daughter will be lucky enough to marry Qilin'er from our Zhou family."
In the family general affairs hall, as soon as Zhou Yang came in, he saw a middle-aged beautiful woman wearing a white lotus dharma skirt sorting out files. When she saw him coming in, the middle-aged beautiful woman's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly put down the files in her hand and smiled.
He looked at him with interest and started joking.
Even though Zhou Yang had already matured his mind, his face felt hot when faced with this kind of teasing. He couldn't help but smiled bitterly and repeatedly held up his hands and begged for mercy: "Third aunt, please stop teasing your nephew. My nephew is still young and we can't talk about marriage."
It’s still very early!”
Unless the cultivators are those with low-grade spiritual roots who have no hope of building a foundation, as long as they still have some ideas about building a foundation, they will not lose Yuan Yang and Yuan Yin before building a foundation.
Because according to the experience summarized by the predecessors, monks who maintain the body of Yuanyang or Yuanyin not only practice faster at ordinary times, but also have a much higher success rate when building foundations than monks who have lost Yuanyang and Yuanyin.
few.
Therefore, even a high-grade spiritual root monk with a high success rate of foundation building will not be broken early before foundation building.
Although a cultivating family like the Zhou family attaches great importance to bloodline inheritance, in this regard, it encourages qualified family members to marry later and have children later. It is best to marry and have children after they are over sixty years old.
Zhou Yang's father, Zhou Xuanhao, and his third aunt, Zhou Xuanyu, both got married and had children after they were over sixty and had no hope of building a foundation.
Fortunately, immortal cultivators have strong physiques and can use healing spells to heal injuries. Even if they give birth after the age of sixty, their lives will not be in danger like ordinary mothers. However, once they give birth to offspring, their own cultivation will be damaged to some extent.
, causing the speed of practice to slow down in the future.
Zhou Yang's mother, Lin Yuting, was at the seventh level of Qi training when she gave birth to him. As a result, more than twenty years later, she is still at the same level of cultivation. This shows how harmful childbirth is to low-level female immortal cultivators.
Zhou Xuanyu, on the other hand, is much better. Before she got married and had children, she was already at the ninth level of qi training. Unless she built the foundation, her cultivation would not be able to improve in her lifetime. Giving birth to children would not have a big impact on her cultivation, but it might be slightly damaged.
Some longevity dollars.
Unfortunately, Zhou Yang's third aunt seems to have always had bad luck. Even though the couple both had middle-grade spiritual roots, out of the three offspring they gave birth to, two sons and one daughter, only one daughter had low-grade spiritual roots.
The continuous birth of offspring, although it did not make Zhou Xuanyu's cultivation regress, made her face age much faster. Although she did not care much about it, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan was afraid that her longevity would be greatly reduced and she would die prematurely.
Regardless of her own objections and complaints, she was forcibly given pills to destroy her fertility, and she was not allowed to continue giving birth.
Zhou Yang has had great respect for this third aunt since he learned about her deeds. She is a great woman who deserves the respect of everyone in the family.
"That's true. With your capital, you will have a great opportunity to build a foundation in the future. The family's current situation is much better than it was then. Plus your parents' own savings, they should be able to prepare a foundation building pill for you. When the time comes,
Once you successfully build the foundation, you will naturally have a lot of time to slowly find a suitable Taoist companion!"
Zhou Xuanyu looked at the handsome and handsome nephew in front of him, and his beautiful eyes were blank for a while, as if he saw himself at the same age back then. At that time, she also wanted to follow in the footsteps of her grandfather and become a foundation-building monk that everyone envied.
I never thought about getting married.
It's a pity that she was unlucky. When she was Zhou Yang's age, the Zhou family happened to spend a lot of money to buy a "Foundation Building Pill" for the current great elder Zhou Qian to take. The family's savings over the years were almost exhausted. Over the decades,
Haven't recovered yet.
However, after the great elder Zhou Qian, who had high hopes at that time, took the "Foundation Building Pill", he did not succeed in building the foundation. He only improved his cultivation level and became a tenth-level Qi-training monk, which is commonly known as Qi-training Dzogchen.
Although the Qi Training Dzogchen cultivators are much stronger than the ninth-level Qi Cultivation monks, they are vastly different from the foundation-building monks. Not to mention that the Qi Cultivation Dzogchen Dzogchen cultivators are still in the Qi training period and will not be above longevity.
any growth.
As a result, Zhou Qian wasted a Foundation Establishment Pill and was saddled with a huge family debt. He worked hard for the family all his life to repay the debt, and he didn't even leave any descendants.
Because Zhou Xuanyu's family savings were all depleted, he later lost the opportunity to purchase the "Foundation Building Pill" to build a foundation, leaving behind a lifelong regret.
A small "foundation-building pill" directly changed the fate of the two generations of Zhou family elders!
Zhou Yang has been warned by his parents since he was a child not to mention the "Foundation Pill" in front of his third aunt, so as not to hurt this elder.
Now when he heard Zhou Xuanyu take the initiative to mention the "Foundation Building Pill", his heart skipped a beat. His original idea of having a chat with this third aunt disappeared in an instant, and he quickly handed over the report he had written long ago.
Report, then on the pretext of visiting the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, he left the General Affairs Hall as if he was running away.
