"Father, this is a gift from Ying'er. It records her master's lifetime experience in alchemy and five third-level elixir recipes."
In Zhou Minghan's cave, after Zhou Yang and the old patriarch Zhou Minghan finished talking about the family, he took out a jade slip and handed it to his father Zhou Xuanhao.
Master Xiao Ying was a third-level top-level alchemist during her lifetime. She made countless alchemy pills throughout her life and was very experienced in alchemy. She also mastered five third-level alchemy recipes.
Xiao Ying now gives these as gifts to Zhou Xuanhao, her father-in-law. For Zhou Xuanhao, it is not unkind.
"Is this...is this appropriate?"
Zhou Xuanhao looked at the jade slip in Zhou Yang's hand, not to mention the surprise in his eyes, but he was also worried and did not dare to reach out to pick it up.
This kind of thing of giving inheritance to others is almost impossible for the monks in the family, and it is strictly prohibited.
So even though it was a gift from his daughter-in-law to his father-in-law, Zhou Xuanhao was a little afraid to accept this gift for a while.
"Don't worry, father. Ying'er's master only had her as his disciple during his lifetime, and now she has to deal with this matter."
Zhou Yang knew what Zhou Xuanhao was worried about, so he quickly smiled and said something to relieve his worries.
Hearing what he said, Zhou Xuanhao was overjoyed and quickly took the jade slip. Then he smiled kindly at Xiao Ying and said, "Ying'er, you accepted this great gift shamelessly as a father. Now, as a father,
I have nothing good to give you, so I can only promise you that even if my father is promoted to a third-level alchemist in the future, my Zhou family’s future alchemy resources will still put you first, and I will never compete with you for a single point!"
A family, even the Zifu family, has limited resources in all aspects of cultivating immortality and various arts, and must be given priority to monks with higher skills.
If Zhou Xuanhao is promoted to a third-level alchemist, although it will be a great thing for the Zhou family, with the size of the Zhou family, it is impossible to support the growth of two third-level alchemists at the same time, so there will definitely be someone by then.
So make concessions.
After Zhou Xuanhao learned that Xiao Ying was a third-level alchemist, he had already decided to give in. After all, Xiao Ying was much younger than him. From this aspect alone, training Xiao Ying was far more valuable than training him.
Good deal.
Now that he has received such a big gift from Xiao Ying, there is no reason to compete with Xiao Ying.
However, when Xiao Ying heard what he said, she shook her head anxiously and said, "No, no, no, father, you have misunderstood. My daughter-in-law definitely has no intention of doing this!"
"I know that this is just my promise to you, and it is also the most suitable approach for the Zhou family. I am already old. If I can be promoted to a third-level alchemist in this life, I have fulfilled my lifelong wish, and I will die without regrets!
"
Zhou Xuanhao waved his hands, sighed and expressed his true thoughts.
Then he held the jade slip in his hand tightly, turned to Zhou Minghan and Zhou Yang and said: "Old patriarch, Yang'er, I will go back to retreat to heal my wounds first. I will not attend the family meeting. Whatever decision you make, I will
All supported unconditionally!”
After saying that, he hurriedly took the healing elixir and left the cave, going back to retreat for healing.
Seeing this, Zhou Minghan couldn't help but nodded and said: "Xuan Hao, this kid, understands the general situation and is sensible. I see that he has this state of mind, so there must be no problem in being promoted to the third level alchemist!"
"I also believe that my father will be able to succeed."
Zhou Yang nodded, also very confident in his father.
Then, with a flash of inspiration, he took out the third-level high-grade spiritual fruit "Qionghua Biyue Fruit" that he had picked earlier.
"Great-grandfather, my grandson picked two [Qionghua Blue Moon Fruits]. This spiritual fruit is a gift from my grandson. If you can take this spiritual fruit, then take the next [Fire Dragon Pill].
】If so, it shouldn’t be any problem to be promoted to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment within a few years.”
When Zhou Yang first picked this "Qionghua Blue Moon Fruit", he had already decided to give it to the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, otherwise it would be so valuable that it would be auctioned at the auction.
Including his purchase of the third-level high-grade spiritual elixir "Fire Dragon Pill" that can only be taken by monks in the late stage of foundation building, it was also purchased for Zhou Minghan.
The "Fire Dragon Pill" is said to be made from the spiritual blood of the fifth-level spiritual beast "Red Fire Dragon" raised in the Xuanyang Immortal Sect.
The pain is as painful as the body, but it can also greatly enhance the magic power of the monks in the later stages of building the foundation of the fire system.
"This, this thing is too valuable, I'd better leave it to Ying'er for future use. I don't have much longevity left. Even if I take this thing to advance to the ninth level of foundation building ten or twenty years in advance, it will have no effect!"
After Zhou Minghan stared at the green spirit fruit in Zhou Yang's hand for a few breaths, he quickly shook his head and waved his hands, unwilling to take it. He didn't want a spiritual object that was worth as much as the Foundation Establishment Pill to be wasted on him, who was about to sit down.
On the transformed person.
"Great-grandfather, what are you talking about? Not to mention that Ying'er herself has a high-grade spiritual root, and there is no problem at all in cultivating to the ninth level of foundation building. It's just that you have worked hard for the Zhou family all your life, and all the hard work has been calculated together.
, you should also take this spiritual fruit!"
"And don't forget, that undeveloped oasis is still waiting for us to occupy and develop it. The earlier you break through to the ninth floor of the foundation, the earlier we can go and occupy that oasis!"
Zhou Yang almost forced the spirit fruit into Zhou Minghan's hand, and at the same time, the reasons he gave made it impossible for Zhou Minghan to find any fault.
Zhou Minghan didn't say anything more this time and silently took the spirit fruit and put it away.
"In this case, I accepted the Lingguo. Now I personally go to the Baisha River Oasis to inform various families about your return, and then also release the news about Xuanqing Pill. After I come back, we will hold a meeting
Family meeting.”
Immediately, Zhou Minghan left the cave and flew straight to the Baisha River Oasis with his sword.
Zhou Yang also took Xiao Ying out of the cave at this time, introduced her to the Qi-training clan members of the Zhou family, and then went to worship in front of his mother's grave. The couple kowtowed several times in front of the grave respectfully.
Most of the people in the Zhou family are happy and supportive of the fact that the patriarch has brought back a Taoist priest who is as beautiful as a fairy after more than ten years of absence.
The idea of these people is very simple. The Taoist monk who heads the clan is a monk in the foundation-building period, which means that the family has an additional person who can suppress the clan's destiny without paying any price, which means that the family's strength has reached a new level.
As the family becomes stronger, the lives of these monks in the Qi training period will be easier in the future, so they will naturally be happy.
After careful calculation, if Zhou Yuanchen, Zhou Xuanyu and the griffin beast of Huangshamen are also included, the Zhou family's foundation-building strength now reaches as many as seven.
Among them, Zhou Yang's combat power is stronger than that of ordinary ninth-level foundation-building monks, and the griffin beast's combat power is equivalent to that of a ninth-level foundation-building monk. Zhou Minghan waited until he took the refined "Qionghua Biyue Fruit" and "Fire Dragon Pill".
He is the nine-level monk who builds the foundation of the Eight Serious Scriptures.
With this kind of lineup, even if I search the entire boundless sea of sand and immortal cultivation world, I can't find a foundation-building family that can compare with it.
Under this situation, many knowledgeable monks of the Zhou family know that the next ten or twenty years will definitely be a period of rapid development for the Zhou family.
The small Yuquan Lake Oasis and Haoyang Mountain Oasis can no longer accommodate so many foundation-building monks. The Zhou family is bound to leave the Yuquan Lake Oasis and open up a new family branch!
While Zhou Yang was getting Xiao Ying acquainted with the Zhou family and receiving their blessings, he was also learning about changes in family members through face-to-face contact, collecting family intelligence information, and preparing for the next family meeting.
.
Through this kind of face-to-face contact and conversations with clan members, Zhou Yang learned that although the Zhou family has passed away three ninth-level qi-training elders in the past ten years or so, several others also did not live long.
But the remaining monks of the "Xuan" generation, thanks to the development of the Zhou family over the years, except for the youngest seventeenth uncle Zhou Xuanzhao, have all been promoted to the ninth level of Qi training and have become the new family elders.
Therefore, there are still seven elders of the ninth level of Qi training in the Zhou family.
Moreover, in the more than ten years since Zhou Yang left, the management system formulated in the last family meeting has been basically established. The Zhou family's spiritual fields, medicine gardens, mines, orchards, spiritual animal gardens, shops and other fixed properties have been established.
For all resource points, relevant stewards have been appointed to manage them.
These stewards cover the three generations of monks: the "Xuan" generation, the "Yuan" generation, and the "Guang" generation. They may have different cultivation levels, but they are by far the most suitable among all the monks of the Zhou family.
A person who serves as a steward in this position.
"Patriarch, in the past ten years, the number of mortals in the family has increased sharply by several percent. The Yuquan Lake Oasis can no longer support so many mortals. When you hold a family meeting this time, please pay attention to this issue. Otherwise, the longer it is delayed, the greater the trouble will be.
Big!"
On Yuquan Peak, when Zhou Yang was talking to Zhou Xuankun, the eldest elder of the Zhou family who was now in charge of personnel affairs, the white-haired old man who was already 116 years old worriedly told him bad news.
The number of mortals in the Zhou family has always been deliberately controlled within a fixed value by immortal cultivators. Otherwise, how could it be possible that after more than two hundred years, only hundreds of thousands of mortals would be produced.
However, in recent years, as the strength of the Zhou family has greatly increased, and some mortals have been diverted from the spiritual veins of Haoyang Mountain, the Zhou family has slightly relaxed its control on the number of mortals.
However, no one expected that the mortal group of the Zhou family, which had been suppressed by various means for a long time, would increase by more than half in just a dozen years because of this relaxation!
Most of these mortals are of the same race and sex as the monks of the Zhou family. We all had the same ancestor more than two hundred years ago. When all people have been born, the monks of the Zhou family cannot force those who have no spirit.
Should the baby be strangled?
So now the Yuquan Lake Oasis is almost unable to support the increasing number of mortals!
