The ancients said: When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
But the actual situation in the world of immortality is that by the time you truly achieve enlightenment, the chickens and dogs that follow you have either changed countless times, or they themselves have the potential to ascend to heaven and can keep up with your progress in cultivation.
speed!
Take the Nascent Soul stage monks who are at the top of the world of immortality as an example. If a cultivator wants to reach the Nascent Soul stage, even a monk who is born with a spiritual body, it must take four to five hundred years.
When that person reaches the Nascent Soul stage of cultivation and can support his clan members and disciples, how many people related to him will be able to live until then? Will those who live until then be mediocre?
Impossible!
Therefore, if the Zhou family wants to become stronger and more prosperous, and if the Zhou family's children want to build the foundation, they will definitely not be able to rely solely on Zhou Yang and other monks in the foundation building stage.
Zhou Yang and other high-level monks can only guarantee that they can obtain foundation-building pills and other spiritual objects, which can give the family's descendants a step up the ladder, and they want to obtain the right to use these spiritual objects.
If you want to cross the ladder, you have to rely on yourself.
Zhou Yang is willing to be the guardian of the family and protect the low-level monks of the family from being bullied and oppressed by other foundation-building monks and the family, but he does not want to be the nanny of the family.
That's the idea.
The most typical example is Cao Wenjin.
When faced with the invasion of the boundless sea of sand cultivators by demonic monks, in order to protect the sect monks and vassal families, and to quell the demonic chaos, he could take risks and participate in the pursuit of the demonic cultivators at the ninth level of the golden elixir, and he could use his life span to continuously perform "Blood Escape"
Technique" to eliminate the remnants of the Demon Sect.
When he did these things, he must have understood what he was doing, and he did it in the end.
But later, Cao Wenjin was willing to spend more than half of the savings in Huangshamen's treasury in order to buy the life-extending treasure.
If the price of "Seven-Color Ganoderma" had not exceeded his psychological endurance at that time, he must have chosen to buy "Seven-Color Ganoderma" instead of "Yuye Golden Pill".
Some people think that Cao Wenjin was selfish in doing this. In order to live for another hundred years, he would not hesitate to ruin the chance of the monks under his sect to condense the golden elixir.
But what about the actual situation?
If Cao Wenjin hadn't spent his life to quell the demonic chaos, would Huang Shamen have dared to send people to the Immortal Realm of Liuyun Continent for shopping under those circumstances?
What's more, if Cao Wenjin takes "Seven Color Ganoderma" to extend his life for a hundred years, it will definitely extend the legacy of Huang Shamen for another two hundred years.
But if you buy the "Jade Liquid Golden Pill" now, no one can guarantee that the monks from Zifu in Huangshamen will be able to successfully form the pill after taking it!
Undoubtedly, Cao Wenjin finally gave in to reality and chose to be a nanny!
But Zhou Yang believed that he definitely didn’t want to be a nanny in his heart, otherwise he wouldn’t have been so determined to increase the bid again and again.
Similarly, Zhou Yang does not want to be the nanny of the Zhou family. He is the guardian of the Zhou family and the leader of the Zhou family, not the nanny slave of the Zhou family.
He can open up a ladder for the Zhou family to a higher realm, but it is impossible for him to carry the Zhou family on his back.
Now, he has prepared the ladder. Whether they can grab the ladder and climb up, or whether they want to climb up to see the scenery from higher places, all depends on the abilities of the younger generations of the Zhou family!
As expected by Zhou Yang, when he revealed that the family currently had two foundation-building pills in stock, and that there would be a third one in a few years, all the clan members in the Qi-training period showed expressions of surprise and joy.
.
Originally, he suddenly broke the family rules and encouraged the low-level monks in the family to go out for training. Even Zhou Minghan was really shocked.
Because everyone knows that no matter how nice Zhou Yang says it, once a large number of family monks go out to practice, there will definitely be a lot of casualties. And when the time comes, those who are encouraged by Zhou Yang to go out to practice will be killed or injured.
Resent him?
However, when Zhou Yang told this matter, he also told about the fact that his family had multiple Foundation Establishment Pills, and talked about the distribution of the Foundation Establishment Pills. He also explained the reason why he had to do this, invisibly.
It eliminated the panic in the hearts of the tribesmen.
Yes! Zhou Yang only said that he encouraged the tribesmen to go out and take risks, but did not force them to do so.
You can not go out for adventure and continue to practice quietly at home, but that means that your possibility of obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill will lag far behind those who go out for adventure, which means you have given up the hope of Foundation Establishment.
.
Zhou Yang looked at the changes in expressions on the faces of the family monks below, and did not say anything else immediately, but gave these people some time to think.
It wasn't until a quarter of an hour passed that he continued: "After I've said the first thing, I'll talk about the second thing."
"This second thing is what I thought of after I saw the oasis when I went to Haoyang Mountain to check the situation!"
Zhou Yang looked at the clan members who were listening to him attentively, and his tone suddenly became solemn and solemn: "The late family elder Zhou Xuanyan, who has passed away, was the hero of our Zhou family, and that oasis was entirely hers.
She spent twenty years building it with her own hands every day, and her achievements in creating the oasis are worthy of being remembered and commemorated by all our monks and mortals."
"Our Zhou family used to have a list of heroes and martyrs. The lives and achievements of the monks on the list were compiled by the family, and books and biographies were written for future generations of monks to learn from. Eight Aunt is qualified to be on the list. We shouldn't let her be like this.
People who have made immortal contributions to the family gradually become unknown as time goes by!"
"At the same time, I also want to change the rules for the list of heroes. Those who can be included in the list in the future do not have to be those who shed blood and sacrifice for the family on the battlefield. Some are silently contributing to the family at home, including but not limited to
Monks who have made great contributions to the family, such as creating oases, cultivating new types of spiritual beasts, new types of spiritual fruits, etc., will also be eligible to be listed after their death, and the family will give special subsidies to these monks who are listed!"
"I have decided to rename the oasis created by my eighth aunt Zhou Xuanyan Siyan Oasis to commemorate her achievements. At the same time, I will give her a one-time special subsidy of two thousand family contribution points. This part of the subsidy will be inherited by her descendant Zhou Yu!
"
After he said this, the others had not yet recovered, but the old patriarch Zhou Minghan let out a long sigh:
"Hey! I'm so ashamed after hearing what the patriarch said! When that girl Xuan Yan came back to tell me her life, I never thought of this and didn't give her any subsidy, and she actually had no complaints or regrets.
What are you talking about...let Xuan Yan be included in the list of heroes and given special subsidies, I am the first to agree!"
It goes without saying that Zhou Minghan's prestige in the Zhou family is the same for him. Plus, it was Zhou Yang, the clan leader, who proposed this matter. How could anyone else object?
What's more, the applicable rules for the "List of Heroes" that Zhou Yang just mentioned are beneficial to all Zhou family monks, and many people have seen the direction of joining the list.
There is nothing more important than "fame and wealth" in this world. Although immortal cultivators are superior to others, they cannot escape the scope of these two words.
Even those who are stronger than Golden Core monks must establish a sect and call themselves ancestors so that future generations will remember their names.
Let alone a monk in the Qi training period whose cultivation level is much lower.
On the Zhou family's "List of Heroes", monks in the foundation-building stage can naturally be included in the list after they pass away, but for monks in the Qi-training stage, it is very difficult.
The monks who were recently listed on the list before Zhou Xuanyan were the elders of the Zhou family who died during the last "Foundation Building Conference". They shed blood and died for their families on the battlefield, so they are naturally eligible to be included on the list.
The other elderly people Zhou Guangqian, Zhou Guangquan and Zhou Guangdan who passed away at home were not able to have this honor on the list.
Now that Zhou Yang's path to the list has been broadened, it is a great thing for all the people in the Qi-training period of the Zhou family. These people must be grateful to the deceased Zhou Xuanyan.
"After talking about the second thing, let's talk about the third thing."
"This third thing is actually related to the first thing, because the current situation of the family determines that we must expand outwards. The family is already looking for places to expand, and there will definitely be a fierce battle by then.
Therefore, after this family meeting, all the monks in the middle stage of Qi training must help me train your fighting skills, and you will all go over to join the battle!"
"And when the time comes, the family will purchase all the monsters you hunt with contribution points!"
Zhou Yang cannot yet reveal the new oasis discovered by the Lu family to the lower-ranking tribesmen, but he will let these lower-ranking tribesmen participate in the battle to expand the oasis in the future.
This is a mandatory family task, a duty that a family member must perform, just like when the Zhou family started to expand the spiritual veins of Haoyang Cave, they also called together all the family's late-stage qi-training monks.
Now Zhou Yang has taken some risks by reminding these tribesmen of this matter several years in advance.
After he finished talking about this matter, he did not give the people below him time to think about it as before, but directly said the last matter of this family meeting, which was also the most urgent matter that needed to be resolved.
"Finally, let's talk about the fourth thing."
"The fourth thing is that the number of mortals in the family has reached the upper limit that Yuquan Lake Oasis can support. I will discuss with the old patriarch how to migrate mortals. What you have to do is to take time for me before migrating.
In the past, it helped increase the yield of food grown by mortals!”
"At the same time, I will give you an opportunity to earn special contribution points. I don't care whether you are looking for them or researching and improving them yourself, as long as someone can give me a yield that is 10% higher than that of the current family members who mainly grow food crops.
of food crops, I will reward you with 500 special contribution points on behalf of the family. For every 10% increase in production, an additional 500 points will be added, with no upper limit!"
