Chapter 205: Those who count people, people count as well!
Huang Yi's foundation building will take at least two or three months to produce results, so it is naturally impossible for Zhou Yang to protect him outside the cave.
However, because all three caves were occupied, Zhou Yang was forced to move to the yard where he used to live on the mountainside.
Naturally, he couldn't practice normally here, so he spent his time practicing the "Five Elements of Life and Death Sword Formation".
In his spare time, he would also give advice on the practice of the young monks of the Zhou family, or refine magic weapons for some monks of the Zhou family who came to ask for help.
He even spent several days writing an article "Dong Ping's Cultivation of Immortality", changing Dong Jianping's name to "Dong Ping" as a casual cultivator.
The place names and power names were replaced, and then the deeds of "Dong Ping", a man who must repay kindness, were focused on.
The Zhou family needs people like "Dong Ping", and the world of immortality also needs people like "Dong Ping".
Zhou Yang hopes that the monks of the Zhou family can follow "Dong Ping" as an example. Even if there is one "Dong Ping" among a hundred monks, his wish to write this "Dong Ping's Cultivation of Immortality" will be fulfilled.
Nearly two months later, Zhou Yang, who was practicing sword skills on the mountainside, suddenly had a look on his face and turned to look at the top of Yuquan Peak.
"Oh, this boy named Huang actually succeeded?"
A strange color flashed in his eyes, and he immediately raised his sword and flew to the top of the mountain.
At this time, Zhou Yuanchen, who was making talismans in another cave, also sensed the abnormal fluctuations in the spiritual energy on the mountain, and walked out of the cave with a surprised look on his face.
"Ninth brother, who built the foundation in this cave? Is there going to be another foundation-building monk in our Zhou family?"
Zhou Yuanchen looked at Zhou Yang and asked with a look of surprise and surprise, and the look on his face was from the bottom of his heart.
"After all, my brothers are reliable. Even if I go to Huangshamen, my heart will still be with the family!"
Zhou Yang looked at Zhou Yuanchen who had a look of surprise on his face, feeling filled with emotion in his heart.
He nodded, then shook his head and said: "The person who built the foundation is Huang Yi, the husband of the Twelve Sisters. This man has a bad character. You can only use him, not be honest with him!"
"I understand. It's not convenient for me to say anything about this matter. Since Ninth Brother, you know what's going on, that's fine."
Zhou Yuanchen nodded slightly, but was very wise and didn't say anything more.
After all, he is a Huangshamen monk and is not suitable to participate in the affairs management of the Zhou family. Otherwise, Zhou Yang would have invited him to several family meetings, and he was not even invited to the original foundation building celebration.
"Just let me watch here. Brother Yuanchen, please go back and make the talisman. After you finish making the talisman, I will personally take you back to Huangshamen!"
Zhou Yang indeed had no intention of letting Zhou Yuanchen interfere in family affairs. This was not because he wanted to be a dictatorship, but to avoid suspicion.
As a monk of the Huangshamen, if Zhou Yuanchen interferes in the Zhou family's family affairs, even if the Zhou family members have no idea, Huangshamen will definitely banish him and punish him after learning about it.
A sect belongs to a sect, and a family belongs to a family. This is the basis for sects and families to coexist.
As for him saying that he wanted to send Zhou Yuanchen back to Huangshamen, it was not a polite statement, but with Huang Yi's success in building the foundation, he really had to go to Huangshamen and redeem the "Netherworld Blood Pact" from the Huangshamen treasure house.
After signing the contract, he also had to exchange for the fourth-level defense talisman.
In the next few days, Zhou Yang waited outside the cave on the top of the mountain.
After Huang Yi had initially stabilized his cultivation after undergoing "spiritual energy filling", he also walked out of the cave with high spirits.
"Congratulations, you actually won the bet!"
Zhou Yang looked at Huang Yi who was walking out of the cave with a high-spirited look on his face, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled lightly and said congratulations.
No matter how he planned to arrange this Huang Yi, now that the other party had just succeeded in establishing the foundation, it was still necessary to send a word of congratulations.
"I would also like to thank you, Patriarch, and the ancestors of the family for their foundation-building experience. If I hadn't carefully studied those foundation-building experiences, I'm afraid it would be difficult for anyone to survive the second level!"
Huang Yi said with a hint of fear in his eyes, and the proud look on his face finally calmed down a bit.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang nodded, then looked at him and asked: "According to the rules of my Zhou family, after building the foundation, you can directly choose a practice from the family's collection of exercises. Have you thought about building the foundation?"
What kind of exercises will you practice next?"
When Huang Yi heard this, his expression was slightly startled, and then he cupped his hands and said, "Clan leader Mingjian, Huang has not thought about this yet. Can we wait until Huang sees the family's collection of exercises before making a choice?"
The Zhou family had also been on guard against him before. Apart from lending him the foundation-building experience to study, the Sutra Cave did not allow him to enter. He really didn't know what exercises the Zhou family had in their collection for practicing after foundation-building.
"The really important inheritance of the exercises in the family are all kept by the Supreme Elder himself. I only have a list of exercises here. You should study it yourself first. After you choose, tell me and I will ask the Supreme Elder to get it for you.
Come."
Zhou Yang said and handed a jade slip he had made in the past few days to Huang Yi.
Huang Yi's spiritual root attributes tend to be earth and metal. There are four kinds of exercises suitable for his practice collected by the Zhou family, but Zhou Yang only recorded two for him in the jade slips, so he didn't really have many choices.
Sure enough, Zhou Yang waited for less than half an hour when he heard Huang Yi say: "Clan Chief, Huang has made his choice, and I will practice the "Golden Body Art of Guarding the Earth"."
"Are you sure? I want to remind you that although the power of "Gutu Golden Body Technique" is great, it is quite difficult to practice, and it needs to absorb the Qi of Shutu and the Qi of Gengjin every other month to temper it.
Train your body, and when the two kinds of spiritual energy are flowing in your body, the pain caused will not be much less than the pain you experienced in the foundation building level!"
Zhou Yang looked at Huang Yi, not surprised by this man's choice, but he still had to say what he should say.
"It's just a pain. It's just a chance to hone my Taoist heart!"
Huang Yi grinned, and as expected, he didn't take Zhou Yang's reminder to heart at all.
"In that case, just wait for me here, and I will go and get you a copy of the "Golden Body Guarding Technique" for you, and then you can go into seclusion here and practice this technique!"
Zhou Yang nodded slightly and immediately went to the Buddhist Scripture Cave, took a copy of the exercises from his father Zhou Xuanhao who was stationed there and gave it to Huang Yi, and then watched him re-enter the cave to retreat and practice the exercises.
He looked at Huang Yi who walked into the cave with an excited look on his face, and murmured to himself: "You have chosen the path yourself. If you regret it in the future, don't say that I didn't give you a chance in the first place!"
He gave Huang Yi two choices. One was to choose a low-level skill that could only be practiced to the Zifu stage. Although the power of this skill was not as powerful as the "Golden Body Art of Guarding the Earth", it was powerful and
It is an intermediate skill that can be practiced to the golden elixir stage, but it is better than being safe and stable.
But since Huang Yi chose the "Secret of the Golden Body", it shows that this person has great ambitions and is not willing to stop at the foundation-building stage.
Originally this was not a wrong thing, but a good thing worthy of encouragement.
But Huang Yi's mistake was that his surname was not Zhou, and he had no intention of integrating into the Zhou family.
This can be seen from the fact that he always calls himself "Huang" in front of Zhou Yang.
This kind of self-proclaiming may seem like nothing, but when combined with his identity as his adopted son-in-law, we can see what this person is thinking.
As the patriarch of the Zhou family, Zhou Yang, as the patriarch of the Zhou family, would certainly not be polite to such a person who was extremely ambitious, refused to integrate into the Zhou family, and wanted to use the financial and material resources of the Zhou family to help him practice.
Therefore, what Zhou Yang did not tell Huang Yi was that although the "Golden Body Art of Guarding the Earth" was a powerful exercise that not only cultivated magical power but also tempered the physical body, it had a fatal flaw.
That is, the monks who practice the "Golden Body Art of Guarding the Earth" will gradually lose the emotions of normal people as they absorb the energy of the Earth and the energy of Gengjin to temper their bodies. At the same time, their longevity will be longer than that of ordinary people. The number of basic monks decreased by 20 to 30%.
This is also the biggest reason why this skill is not inferior to most advanced skills, but it is only an intermediate skill.
Huang Yi chose to practice this technique, and it seemed that he gained great power, but in fact, he cut off his own path to improvement.
After dealing with what happened to Huang Yi, Zhou Yang went to Haoyang Mountain again because Huang Yi's nominal wife Zhou Yuanzhen was still there.
"Twelve sisters, that guy Huang Yi has succeeded in building the foundation. What are you going to do in the future? Are you going to get back together with him and live a good life, or are you going to continue to maintain the current situation?"
On Haoyang Mountain, Zhou Yang found Zhou Yuanzhen, the twelfth sister who was catching insects in the Linggu in the Lingtian, and told him the news about Huang Yi's successful foundation building.
Nowadays, most of the monks of the Zhou family know that the two are Taoist lovers in name only, but under the constraints of the family's senior leaders, no one dares to discuss this matter openly.
But discussions in secret cannot be prohibited.
Otherwise, Zhou Yuanzhen would not have come to Haoyang Mountain to hide from Qingjing.
"Brother Ninth, I think it's good as it is now. Now that he has established his foundation, I am even less worthy of him. Please bring a message to him for me. I will allow him to take concubines and have children among the mortal women of the Zhou family in the future. Other than that, I have nothing to do with him."
Zhou Yuanzhen raised his head and looked at Zhou Yang's handsome face that had not changed in decades. His face was slightly absent-minded, and then he quickly lowered his head and whispered his decision.
"Hey! Brother Ninth is sorry for you!"
Zhou Yang let out a long sigh, his face full of apology.
He understood Zhou Yuanzhen's decision. Not to mention a cultivator, even an ordinary mortal woman would be filled with resentment if she was deceived by her chosen husband in this way.
Only she knows how much psychological pressure Zhou Yuanzhen has endured in the past ten years.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but reached out and patted Zhou Yuanzhen's shoulder and said: "Twelve sisters, don't worry, that guy will pay the price for what he did. Since you don't want to go back to Yuquan Peak, you can rest assured in Haoyang from now on." Just practice in the mountains. If you want to go home for a visit, you can go back at any time."
After saying this, he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly reached out and patted the storage bag, and an elixir bottle appeared in his hand.
"Well, Brother Ninth didn't bring you any gifts when he came back this time. There is a bottle of [Beauty Pill] here that your sister-in-law bought at that time. I'll give it to you as a gift. In the future, you can relax a little and go on with your life.
Halfway through, don’t let Huang Yi’s bastard thing affect your mood and health.”
When Xiao Ying bought this bottle of "beautiful pill", she was told a lot by him, but she never thought that it would come in handy today.
Now seeing the surprised and happy expression on Zhou Yuanzhen's face after taking the "Beauty Pill", Zhou Yang's mood has improved a lot.
