The ancestor of the Chen family refined the foundation building pill very quickly. Zhou Minghan and Zhou Yang waited in Ping'anfang City for half a month before the pill was completed.
"I am ashamed. This time during the refining of the Foundation Establishment Pill, because the demonic elixir of the [Gold Devouring Beast] was too heavy in metal, I made a mistake. As a result, only four Foundation Establishment Pills were finally refined. According to the rules, I kept two of the remaining pills.
The next two, because the Zhou family was successful in exterminating demons during the last demonic chaos, I have long promised that they can get one for free, so this time your other families can only bid for the remaining one!"
On the white hump, in the cave of the ancestor of the Chen family.
When Zhou Yang and other foundation-building monks who were not members of the Chen family received a letter from the ancestor of the Chen family and came here, they first heard these words from the ancestor of the Chen family.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed instantly, including Zhou Yang.
Originally, the number of foundation-building pills was not enough for everyone. Now the ancestor of the Chen family only produced four pills. The Chen family still wants to take two pills. How can the remaining two pills be enough for others to share?
For other people and families other than the Zhou family, it is even more unacceptable for the Zhou family to take away one of the two foundation-building pills that can be distributed for free.
They dare not resent the ancestors of the Chen family, because only the ancestors of the Chen family can kill the fourth-level monsters, ensure the success of refining the foundation-building pills, and ensure that more than four pills are produced at one time.
But the Zhou family is different. The Zhou family is not necessary for refining the Foundation Building Pill. Without the Zhou family, the next "Foundation Building Conference" can still be held.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, your Zhou family now has five Foundation-Building Stage monks. It is said that there are still two Foundation-Building Pills in the family, so there will be no shortage of Foundation-Building Pills for at least several decades. Why don't you use that Foundation-Building Pill this time?
Give it to me and I will give you one back after the next [Foundation Building Conference]!"
Sure enough, when Zhou Yang was still thinking about the consequences of the Chen family's ancestor's words, a head of the Foundation Establishment family looked at him with an ugly expression and said something that made him suddenly change his expression.
Zhou Yang immediately sneered and said: "Oh, don't you think this is ridiculous, fellow Taoist Gao? Who would have too many treasures like the Foundation Establishment Pill? Why don't you dare to say this to Patriarch Chen?"
The monk who spoke was shocked and angry when he heard what he said. He couldn't help but pointed at him and shouted angrily: "You... your Zhou family is so greedy, aren't you afraid of retribution?"
"What does it mean to be greedy? Is Taoist Gao too deaf to hear clearly what Patriarch Chen just said? Our Zhou family decided on the ownership of this Foundation Establishment Pill more than 20 years ago. Even if we follow the first-come, first-served rule,
It’s our turn to take this Foundation Establishment Pill!”
"What's more, without my great-grandfather willing to serve as bait to lure the [Gold-devouring Beast] into the urn this time, fellow Taoist Gao, I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to compete for the remaining Foundation Establishment Pill!"
Zhou Yang looked at the head of the Gao family with a sneer, and the words in his mouth were not polite at all.
He didn't need to think twice to know that this person would be the first to jump out and say this at this time. He must have received the news about the ancestor of the Chen family, and then he would be willing to jump out as a vanguard to attack the Zhou family.
Of course he would not hesitate to break off such a loser who was eager to take sides.
If he doesn't dare to beat the master of the Chen family, why wouldn't he dare to beat a dog?
When he saw the two of them quarreling in his cave, the ancestor of the Chen family didn't seem to hear them. He just looked at them with squinted eyes and didn't react at all.
The other foundation-building monks in the cave, including those from the Yang family in Jinquan Valley, also watched the two quarreling people with cold eyes, and no one had the idea of joining in.
These people are not fools. The fight between the Chen family and the Zhou family has been exposed to their eyes without any cover-up since the ancestor of the Chen family used borrowed swords to kill people.
Now the two major families are fighting overtly and covertly. If they don't want to be like the Gao family and rush to take sides, the best option is to sit back and watch the fight from the other side.
It's just that they wanted to watch the fire from the other side, but some people didn't want them to be so relaxed. After the head of the Gao family was ridiculed by Zhou Yang, he immediately looked at them angrily and shouted: "Young Daoyou Yang, Daoyou Xue, Daoyou Zheng, the Zhou family is so greedy and shameless, are you guys so greedy and shameless?"
Are you just looking at it like this? Don’t you want the Foundation Establishment Pill?”
Hearing what the head of the Gao family said, several monks watching the theater couldn't help but look at each other, and then one of them said, "What do you want us to do, fellow Taoist Gao?"
"The Zhou family is so greedy that they don't care about the life and death of our family. We will let them reap the consequences and jointly boycott their participation in the future [Foundation Building Conference], so that they can also taste the bitter consequences of the inheritance being cut off!"
The head of the Gao family looked at Zhou Yang with a sinister expression, and finally revealed his true purpose.
It turned out that he also knew that it was almost impossible for the Zhou family to give up a Foundation Establishment Pill, so the original purpose of the Chen family ancestor was to exclude the Zhou family from the "Foundation Establishment Conference" and deny the Zhou family access to the Foundation Establishment Conference.
Dan's channel.
However, it was the ancestor of the Chen family who personally made the decision to let the Zhou family join the "Foundation Building Conference". Now that he wants to drive the Zhou family out, of course he can't say it himself. Wouldn't that be a slap in the face?
That's why he took this opportunity to let the Gao family guy jump out to fan the flames and raise the issue, and then he would comply with public opinion and "reluctantly" agree to the matter.
Zhou Yang knew the twists and turns here, and so did the other foundation-building monks watching.
Moreover, Zhou Yang also knew that even if the bystanders did not agree with this matter on the spot, the ancestor of the Chen family must have prepared other means to facilitate this matter.
So he simply waved his sleeves and said: "I don't need to worry about this matter, fellow Taoist Gao. Our Zhou family has decided not to participate in future foundation building conferences. As for your suggestion that our Zhou family taste the consequences of the inheritance being cut off, Zhou also has
Remember, we will wait and see in the future to see which family will cut off the inheritance first!"
After Zhou Yang finished speaking, he did not look at the sudden change in the face of the head of the Gao family, but directly raised his hands to the ancestor of the Chen family and said: "Old Ancestor Mingjian, my Zhou family has important matters waiting for my junior and great-grandfather to go back to deal with it.
Please give me the Foundation Building Pill, ancestor, so that I can return to my family as soon as possible to report that my family is safe!"
Seeing this, the ancestor of the Chen family narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at him with squinted eyes and smiled faintly: "What I said earlier, little friend, I just took it as a moment of anger. Fellow Taoist Gao also spoke rudely because he was worried about the inheritance of the family, so I hope
My understanding, little friend, I will give this Foundation Establishment Pill to you first, and next time [Foundation Establishment Conference], I will still send you an invitation letter!"
"Thank you, ancestor, for giving me the elixir. I will take my leave now!"
Zhou Yang bowed respectfully, but directly put away the Foundation Establishment Pill and left the Chen family's white hump. He ignored the so-called "temporary anger" comments made by the ancestor of the Chen family.
Both sides know whether the words are angry or not.
Even if the ancestor of the Chen family really sends an invitation letter to the "Foundation Building Conference" decades later to the Zhou family, it is impossible for the Zhou family to send anyone there again.
"Hmph, with the longevity of the ancestors of the Chen family, this [Foundation Building Conference] can only be held two more times at most!"
"At that time, without the ancestor of the Chen family, a late-stage master of the Purple Mansion and a fourth-level high-grade alchemist, it will be a question whether this so-called [Foundation Building Conference] can continue to be held!"
"Since the Gao family is so eager to take sides, when our Zhou family is promoted to the Zifu family, you will be the first to be attacked!"
On the back of the griffin beast, Zhou Yang recalled what happened on the white hump previously, his eyes flashed with cold light, and murderous intent emerged in his heart.
He also didn't expect that the fight between the Chen family and the Zhou family had just begun, and a blind family would be so eager to jump in and take sides.
This is not a good sign!
Now it's okay for the insignificant Gao family to come out and join the team. I'm afraid that more families will follow the Chen family to attack the Zhou family, and then the Zhou family's life will be very difficult.
"Something must be done!"
Zhou Yang murmured to himself and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
When he returned to Ping'anfang City, Zhou Yang told the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, who was recovering from his injuries here, exactly what happened on the White Camelback.
"The Chen family doesn't want our Zhou family to participate in the next [Foundation Building Conference]. This is what I expected, but I didn't expect that the Gao family would be so eager to come out and take sides. It seems that our Zhou family has been too peaceful over the years, which makes people uncomfortable.
You have ignored our strength!"
After Zhou Minghan listened to Zhou Yang's account, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and his reaction was almost exactly the same as Zhou Yang's before.
Both of them knew that the Zhou family had grown too fast in recent years and would inevitably attract jealousy.
And they haven't done anything big in these years to let people see the Zhou family's strength.
Therefore, although the Zhou family's combat power in the foundation-building period has far exceeded that of the Liu family of Chixiashan, which was once the number one foundation-building family in the Baishahe Immortal Cultivation World, in the eyes of other immortal cultivating families, the prestige and strength of their Zhou family is not as good as
It is not as good as the Liu family in Chixia Mountain, and it may not even be as good as the Yang family in Jinquan Valley.
"Xiaojiu, you are now the patriarch of the Zhou family. Do you have any plans for this matter?"
Zhou Minghan's eyes flashed, but he asked Zhou Yang about his plans for this matter.
When Zhou Yang heard this, he immediately replied: "My grandson hasn't thought of any good plans yet. He just feels that we must not be passively beaten like this. We cannot wait for the Chen family to make a move before breaking the move. We must take the initiative to do something."
OK!"
"Then I'll tell you two things, see if you can do it!"
Zhou Minghan said, his lips moved slightly, but he used the method of spiritual consciousness to transmit sounds to Zhou Yang.
"The first point is to unite the weak against the strong. The Chen family attacks our Zhou family. Small families like the Gao family, of course, want our Zhou family to fall, and then follow the Chen family to eat the corpses of our Zhou family, but
A big family like the Yang family of Jinquan Valley will definitely be alerted by this, especially Yang Xingyan, who possesses the spiritual root and is a ninth-level cultivation base, so there is a good chance that he will open a purple mansion in the future."
"Our Zhou family and the Yang family had an alliance in the past because of the matter of opening a branch in the Baisha River Oasis. This time we come to explain our interests to them. Even if we can't get the Yang family to form an alliance with us, we can still make them remain neutral.
Don’t help the Chen family!”
"The second point is to kill the chicken to scare the monkey! Since the Gao family is eager to take sides and jumps out to serve as the gunman of the Chen family, then don't blame our Zhou family for being ruthless!"
"I know that people from the Gao family coveted a third-level spiritual object more than fifty years ago. They once sent people disguised as bandits to kill the casual cultivator holding the spiritual object and took away the treasure. Later, the treasure was taken away by the head of the Gao family.
Please ask me to refine it into a third-level medium-grade magic weapon!"
"Although I knew about this at the time, you also knew the situation of our Zhou family at that time, so I had no intention of seeking justice for a dead person!"
"However, I know that the killed casual cultivator had a close friend who has now become a foundation-building monk. When I was refining this magic weapon, I also used a shadow bead to leave the bottom. I will look for the shadow bead later.
If you hand it over to the casual cultivator to build the foundation, you will naturally suffer the consequences of the Gao family!"
