After the news spread that the Gao family was exterminated, it indeed caused an uproar in the Baishahe immortal world just as Zhou Yang imagined.
Except for the last demonic chaos, no foundation-building family has been wiped out by casual cultivators in the Baishahe Immortal Realm for a hundred or two hundred years.
For a dignified foundation-building family, a casual cultivator single-handedly came to kill all the family's top leaders. This incident was a shameful thing for all the cultivating families, and it also made them nervous.
Of these immortal cultivating families that have been passed down for hundreds of years, which family has not done some dark and shameful things over the years?
Even the Zhou family must have done this kind of thing before!
The Gao family was wiped out because the Zhou family was behind it, but more importantly, they were not keeping things secret and were caught by Zhou Minghan.
So at this time, while each family was nervous, they also conducted a major internal review to see if they had been involved in dirty things over the years. Is there any possibility of being caught? Is there any potential that should not be provoked?
Haters!
As for avenging the Gao family, they have visited the entire Baishahe Oasis cultivating world several times. Only the ancestor of the Chen family could not hide his face, saying that if he saw Zhong Ziming appear in the Baishahe Oasis, he would take his life to pay homage to the dozens of Gao family members who died tragically.
people.
Then there is no more content.
In the world of immortality, avenging a friend is a just thing worthy of commendation. Zhong Ziming killed dozens of members of the Gao family. The ancestor of the Chen family can use the excuse of killing innocent people to arrest him, but he must not be accused of doing something wrong.
.
This is a matter of principle.
The ancestor of the Chen family's attitude of cherishing feathers obviously made some families who had originally intended to switch to the Chen family feel chilled.
Different standpoints naturally lead to different perspectives on issues.
In the eyes of the Chen family, although the Zhou family has some strength that threatens the Chen family's status, it would be a joke if they really want to fight with the Chen family.
Even without the help of any family, they still have the strength to easily suppress the Zhou family. Of course, they cannot ruin their reputation for the sake of the Gao family and make the Chen family lose credibility in the eyes of many casual cultivators.
At most, the account can only be charged to the Zhou family.
However, in the eyes of those families who intend to help the Chen family suppress the Zhou family, the Chen family is unwilling to even try their best to protect the Gao family, who was the first to defect to the past. How can they dare to guarantee that they will face the attack of the Zhou family after they fall to the Chen family's camp?
, the Chen family will definitely help them?
Although they wanted to follow the Chen family and eat the corpses of the Zhou family after they fell, they were more afraid of becoming the next Gao family.
Therefore, after the Gao family was wiped out, the Zhou family's effect of "killing chickens to scare the monkeys" was indeed achieved.
Before things become clear, before the Chen family and the Zhou family really break up, no other family dares to be like the Gao family and rush to join the Chen family. Of course, no family will side with the Zhou family.
.
Zhou Yang doesn't care if anyone sides with the Zhou family. As long as no one sides with the Chen family, it is a victory for the Zhou family.
He was happy about this for a long time.
Moreover, after the Gao family was wiped out, the Zhou family seemed to have good fortune. Not long after, Zhou Yang received two more pieces of good news.
The first good news is that Zhou Yuanpeng, a monk from the "Yuan" generation of the Zhou family who went out to practice, discovered a food crop that can be planted on sandy soil when he traveled to a small oasis and from the mortal village on the small oasis.
"White Taro".
This "white taro" can also be planted on the sandy land bordering the oasis and the desert. Its ground part is short and similar to the common desert plant "aloe vera", and its underground part is an edible rhizome.
Zhou Yang also tasted this product and found that although the taste was a bit bland and astringent, the nutritional value was quite good and it could be grown and eaten as a miscellaneous grain.
The area of Yuquan Lake Oasis is actually quite large. The reason why it is difficult to feed even 200,000 people is mainly because there is very little arable land for growing food crops. Only the land for dozens of miles around Yuquan Lake is available for cultivation. The rest of the land is
Shrub grasslands can only be used for light grazing, providing necessary meat for mortals in the oasis.
Now with this "white taro", food crops can be grown on those sandy lands. This alone can feed at least tens of thousands more mortals.
Therefore, after Zhou Yang investigated and verified the yield of "White Taro", he directly rewarded Zhou Yuanpeng, who discovered "White Taro", with 1,000 special contribution points on behalf of his family.
The reason why there are only so many is because although "white taro" can be planted on sandy land, it cannot be planted intensively, because if it wants to grow quickly, it requires a lot of water, and water shortage is always a problem in all desert oases.
problems faced.
The second good news is that after Xiao Ying followed Zhou Yang's prompts to cross-breed the main food crops of the Zhou family, she finally developed a hybrid crop with a yield that is 20% higher than the original food crops.
The cultivation of this hybrid crop not only truly alleviated the food crisis faced by ordinary people in the Zhou family, but also allowed Xiao Ying to find the inspiration to advance to the third level of spiritual cultivation. It can be said that it was a double success.
As the head of the Zhou family, Zhou Yang also followed the previously established rules and rewarded Xiao Ying with 1,000 special family contribution points.
Zhou Yuanpeng and Xiao Ying successively set an example. The monks in the Zhou family's Qi training period were inspired to go out for adventure. Every month, some people couldn't restrain their restlessness and submitted applications to the family for adventure travel.
.
Zhou Yang is naturally happy to see this kind of thing happen, and even promulgated a new law. As long as the family members are willing to go out to experience adventure, he will use his personal savings to give him a second-level high-grade spiritual talisman for self-defense for free. This is limited to the first time he goes out.
Experience.
A second-level high-grade spiritual talisman is worth thirty or forty spiritual stones, which is nothing to Zhou Yang now, but to those monks of the Zhou family who are in their twenties and thirties and only in the middle and late stages of Qi training, it is almost worth it.
It’s almost as much as their annual welfare offering.
If Zhou Yang didn't give one away for free, some fledgling Zhou family monks might not be able to exchange for such a consumable treasure after redeeming it for a self-defense weapon, or they might not be willing to exchange it.
Time passed slowly, and two or three years passed in the blink of an eye.
After two or three years of recuperation, Zhou Minghan's injury finally returned to normal, and Zhou Guangxiang had already completed the transformation of his exercises.
In addition, after several years of practice, Xiao Ying was successfully promoted to the third level of foundation building.
At this time, Zhou Yang, on the pretext of celebrating Zhou Guangxiang's success in building the foundation, summoned all the monks who had been traveling and sent abroad from the Zhou family back to Yuquan Peak.
"Clan leader, except for two of the monks who are currently traveling in the Zhou family who have not returned on time, all the rest have returned to the family."
On Yuquan Peak, Zhou Xuanhe, the new chief elder of the Zhou family, respectfully reported to Zhou Yang the current personnel trends of the Zhou family.
At this time, five or six years had passed since Zhou Yang returned from the Immortal Realm of Liuyun Continent. Several older elders of the Zhou family, such as Zhou Xuankun, Zhou Xuanchen, Zhou Xuanying, and Chen Ting, all passed away one after another after their longevity.
Therefore, there are currently only five elders in the ninth level of Qi training in the Zhou family, including two elders, Han Yushu and Tan Qiu, who are relatives, which is not as many as the monks in the foundation building stage.
But this is only temporary, because several monks from the younger generation of the Zhou family have already reached the eighth and seventh levels of Qi training. As long as these people improve their cultivation in a few years, the Zhou family's
It is not a problem if the number of elders exceeds ten.
"For those who haven't come back, record their names. If they come back later, each person will be fined five years. If they don't come back, forget it!"
Zhou Yang pondered for a moment and then said his decision in a cold voice.
Being late is not a big deal in the first place, but before monks from the Zhou family go out for training, they are told to return to the Zhou family one month ago.
It's been more than a month and they haven't come back yet. No matter what the reason is, those two people violated family laws and must be punished.
After handling this small matter, Zhou Yang and Zhou Xuanhe rushed outside the Zhou family's ancestral temple.
At this time, outside the Zhou Family Ancestral Temple, more than a hundred Zhou family monks, large and small, have all gathered here, including some children with spiritual roots who have just learned to walk.
When Zhou Yang came over, all the monks, except those who were in the Foundation Establishment period, bowed and saluted and said, "I have met the patriarch."
"Hello fellow tribesmen."
Zhou Yang waved his hand, looked at all the tribesmen with a serious face and said loudly: "I have called everyone here today because I have something important to announce that is related to the prosperity and decline of my Zhou family!"
When he said this, he paused deliberately. After all the clan members were attracted by his words, he continued: "The big thing is that after several years of searching, our Zhou family finally found another road that can be built."
The third level spiritual vein of the oasis!"
"So, the purpose of gathering everyone together this time is to implement what I said at the family meeting last time, to lead everyone to destroy the monsters that occupy the spiritual veins, and to establish the spiritual veins as the third building of our Zhou family.
Jie Ling Mountain!"
After saying this, he looked at the clan members who were excited because of his words, and let out a deafening roar: "Now, on behalf of the family, I ask you, are you willing to use the magic weapon in your hand to use your own power?"
Do you want to sacrifice your life and shed your blood for the prosperity and strength of your family?"
"willing!"
Hundreds of Zhou family monks shouted out their answers because of Zhou Yang's words.
The education they received since childhood and the personal experiences they experienced while growing up all told these Zhou family monks that only when the family is strong can their own spiritual path be smoother and their descendants can live a better life.
Now there is an opportunity to make the family stronger. As family monks, how can they hold back because they are afraid of hardship, fatigue, and death?
"Very good. On behalf of the family, I would like to thank you for your support."
Zhou Yang nodded with satisfaction, bowed his hands to all the clansmen with a solemn expression, and then waved his hand and said: "Now please invite all monks who are above the middle stage of Qi training to come out. This time you will join me and everyone."
The family's supreme elders fight side by side, overcoming obstacles and creating glory together for the family's prosperity!"
