After Huang Yi officially joined the Zhou family, the number of foundation-building monks in the Zhou family reached five, even excluding Zhou Xuanyu, a foundation-building monk who could not be exposed.
This means that even in terms of number of people, the Zhou family has become the largest foundation-building family in Baisha River Oasis after the Chen family.
Under such circumstances, after receiving the call for the "Foundation Building Conference" from the ancestor of the Chen family, the Zhou family did not send any Qi-training monks to participate. Instead, Zhou Yang and the old patriarch Zhou Minghan went directly to Baidu.
Shahe Oasis.
"I heard that the son-in-law your Zhou family recruited more than ten years ago also succeeded in building a foundation? What good luck!"
At the Baisha River Oasis, after the ancestor of the Chen family received the two Zhou family members who had been summoned, he looked at them with a complicated face and sighed.
The Chen and Zhou families have had a relationship for more than two hundred years, and the ancestor of the Chen family personally watched the establishment of the Zhou family, and helped a lot in the development of the Zhou family during this period.
Now he is seeing that the Zhou family, which used to have three or two big cats and kittens, has only developed over two hundred years to become a threat to the status of the Chen family. What does he think in his heart? It is really only him.
knew.
When Zhou Yang and Zhou Minghan heard what he said, they didn't know whether the "good luck" he mentioned was referring to the Zhou family or Huang Yi himself.
In the end, Zhou Yang could only reply respectfully: "If I tell my ancestors, this is indeed true. The person who built the foundation is Huang Yi, the husband of the younger sister, Twelve Sisters."
Hearing what he said, the ancestor of the Chen family had a look in his eyes. He couldn't help but look at him and asked: "I heard that your kid went out and brought back a Taoist monk who was as beautiful as a fairy. Why didn't you bring him over to meet you this time?
Old man?"
He actually wanted to know what Zhou Yang did when he went to Liuyun Continent to cultivate immortality, and why Cao Wenjin took Zhou Yang to Liuyun Continent to cultivate immortality.
However, as someone who had been fortunate enough to follow monk Huang Shamen to the Immortal Realm of Liuyun Continent, he also knew that Zhou Yang must have signed a blood contract not to reveal this, so he wanted to see if he could find anything out of Xiao Ying.
Of course Zhou Yang didn't know this. When he heard the ancestor of the Chen family ask this question, although he was surprised, he had nothing to hide and immediately said: "I don't dare to deceive the ancestor. Ying'er has something to do in the family and can't get away from it. Wait."
After she finishes the matter, the junior will definitely bring her to pay homage to the ancestor."
"Since we have something to do, let's wait until later. Now I will tell you about the goal this time."
The ancestor of the Chen family nodded slightly, and then spoke in a deep voice about the hunting target selected for this "Foundation Building Conference": "Our target this time is a fourth-level mid-level monster [Gold Devouring Beast], this beast
His lair is in a vein of [Silver Star Stone]."
The "Gold-Eating Rat" is a solitary fourth-level monster. This monster is very similar to the "Gold-Eating Rat" that Zhou Yang encountered during his Qi training period.
A living monster.
The difference is that the "Gold Devouring Beast" not only has a level as high as the fourth level, but also has extremely powerful offensive and defensive capabilities. It also masters the "Golden Escape Technique", which is the most difficult to learn and deal with among the Five Elements Escape Techniques.
Zhou Yang didn't know why the ancestor of the Chen family would choose this kind of monster as the target of hunting. Although if you choose the "gold-devouring beast" to hunt, you don't have to worry about being surrounded by many middle and low-level monsters like you would when hunting other fourth-order monsters.
, but if the "gold-devouring beast" that has mastered the magical power of "golden escape" wants to escape, who can stop it unless the golden elixir stage monk takes action?
"Junior, dare I ask my ancestor, you chose the [Gold Devouring Beast] as your target, but you have a way to restrict its escape?"
The matter was so important that Zhou Yang had no other worries at this time and directly asked the questions in his mind.
"My Chen family has a fourth-level low-grade formation called [Five Elements Reversal Formation]. Once this formation is set up, no Five Elements Escape Technique can be performed within the formation. So this time, the mission of you foundation-building monks is to
Keep the formation intact until I kill it!"
The ancestor of the Chen family did not hide anything and directly stated his reliance.
Using formations to surround and kill monsters is a common method used by cultivators. Otherwise, if a high-level monster wants to escape, even a powerful Zifu monk like Jia Yunzhen may not be able to kill it.
Therefore, after Zhou Yang listened to the words of the ancestor of the Chen family, he just looked at the old patriarch Zhou Minghan and said respectfully: "In this case, I have no doubts, I just follow the instructions of the ancestor."
In the next two to three months, the two Zhou family members and eight other foundation-building monks have been practicing and familiarizing themselves with the use of the "Five Elements Reversal Formation".
This set of "Five Elements Reversal Formation" requires the control of ten foundation-building monks to exert its due power. Once the enemy is trapped in the formation, not only will he be unable to use the Five Elements Escape Technique as the ancestor of the Chen family said, but other Five Elements spells will also be used.
, it will also be reversed by the power of the formation and the five elements will be weakened a lot.
As for the ten foundation-building monks who participated in the formation practice, in addition to the two members of the Zhou family, there were also two members of the Chen family. Two of the remaining six were newly established by the Chen family who had established the family foundation on the Baisha River oasis.
Among the casual cultivators, one is a real casual cultivator, and the remaining three are from the Yang family of Jinquan Valley and other three foundation-building families.
Not only was Zhou Yang familiar with all of these people, he had at least met them several times and knew their names. The ten of them worked together without any trouble.
After practicing the formation for two or three months in this way, and becoming completely familiar with the use of the formation, the ten foundation-building monks boarded the ancestor of the Chen family's empty ship and flew to the lair of the "gold-devouring beast"
.
As for Chen Ping'an, another monk from the Purple Mansion of the Chen family, he has learned the lesson from the last "Foundation Building Conference". How dare the ancestor of the Chen family dare to go out in force now.
Under the control of the ancestor of the Chen family, an eighth-level monk from the Purple Mansion, the Dakong Tower ship could fly more than 20,000 miles in a day, but even so, it took Zhou Yang and the others six or seven days to reach the place mentioned by the ancestor of the Chen family.
"Actually, everyone knows that the boundless sand sea is so big. There must be oases in more than just the area near Huangshamen. But if it is too far away from Huangshamen, not to mention migrating mortals will be a huge project. If anything happens,
Maybe no one knew about it in the past few decades, so sometimes our family would rather spend a lot of spiritual stones, manpower and material resources to create an oasis and spiritual veins on our own than to establish a family branch hundreds of thousands of miles away from the family."
When getting off the boat, Zhou Minghan saw that Zhou Yang was a little confused about this area that he had never been to before, so he couldn't help but secretly send a message to him to explain.
When Zhou Yang heard this, he immediately understood what Zhou Minghan meant.
That's right, if you start a family in such a far place, then the family will be completely out of the protection range of Huangshamen. If it is attacked by powerful monsters or other immortal cultivators, it will be impossible to ask for help.
So even if there is an oasis here, it will only be occupied by monsters, and then human monks will come and harvest it every tens or hundreds of years.
The group of people got off the spaceship and quickly found a suitable place to set up the "Five Elements Reversal Formation". Then the ancestor of the Chen family went to the lair of the "gold-devouring beast" alone to "attract the monsters".
Zhou Yang and others calmed down and hid in the dark for a while, then saw a golden light chasing the ancestor of the Chen family from far to near.
He looked intently, and in the golden light, there was a ferocious beast six feet long, with the head of a tiger and the body of a lion, and a mouth full of fangs.
This strange beast is smooth and hairless, its body seems to be made of metal, and it emits a dazzling golden light in the sun.
This is the "gold-eating beast", a ferocious beast that feeds on metal.
While Zhou Yang was sizing up the "gold-devouring beast", the ancestor of the Chen family had already led him to the outskirts of the "Five Elements Reversal Formation".
But when the ancestor of the Chen family passed through the "Five Elements Reversal Formation", an accident happened.
The "gold-eating beast" that had been chasing after them all the way seemed to sense danger and stopped directly outside the formation. Its golden beast eyes looked at the faces of Zhou Yang and others in the sand sea below with vigilance.
Hiding place.
Then the demonic beast let out a warning roar at the ancestor of the Chen family from afar, then turned around and turned into a golden light and returned the way it came.
When Zhou Yang and others below saw this scene, they were immediately dumbfounded.
"Ancestor, what should we do now? The [Golden Devouring Beast] sees the power of the formation and refuses to join it. How can we kill it?"
In the sea of sand, Zhou Yang and others walked out of their hiding place and met the ancestors of the Chen family who had landed. The group discussed countermeasures regarding what had just happened.
The monsters see how powerful the formation is and refuse to join it. This kind of thing is not uncommon for high-level monsters.
After all, although the monsters do not understand formations, their sense of danger is much sharper than those of cultivators. The "Five Elements Reversal Formation", as a fourth-level low-grade formation, already has the power to threaten the fourth-level monsters. The "Gold-Eating Beast"
"After sensing this threat, naturally I won't rush into it so easily.
"Don't worry, I'm also prepared for this. Since this beast won't easily join the battle, we'll give it a reason why it has to join the battle!"
The ancestor of the Chen family glanced at Zhou Yang and others, and finally fell on Zhou Minghan and said:
"Minghan, you have the highest level of cultivation. I have a piece of [Taiyi Fine Gold] here that is very helpful for the advancement of [Gold-Eating Beast]. Now I will give it to you for safekeeping until I use [Gold-Eating Beast] again.
After the beast is attracted, after it senses that you have this thing hidden on your body, it will definitely not be able to help but enter the formation and devour this thing!"
After speaking, he didn't even ask Zhou Minghan whether he agreed or not. With a flick of his sleeve, he threw a piece of platinum ore as big as a fist towards Zhou Minghan.
"Ancestor, please rest assured, this junior will definitely protect this thing."
Zhou Minghan firmly grasped the "Taiyi Fine Gold" thrown to him by the ancestor of the Chen family in his palm, and agreed in a low tone.
When the ancestor of the Chen family saw this, his eyes flashed slightly, but he said: "Although this object is valuable, it is just a dead object. If the situation is critical, it doesn't matter if Minghan throws it to the [Gold Devouring Beast] to devour it."
, as long as this beast can be killed in the end, this thing will not be wasted!"
