Zhou Yang stayed on Yuquan Peak for less than a day, and then went directly to Haoyang Mountain Lingmai to visit his father Zhou Xuanhao.
Since he had not received any news before, Zhou Xuanhao was overjoyed when he saw his son return safely.
Compared to the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, as a father, he was naturally more concerned about his son's safety. During the period before Zhou Yang returned, he was worried all day long and could not even calm down for practice.
Now that Zhou Yang has finally returned safely, you can imagine how happy he is.
Zhou Yang stayed in Haoyang Mountain for three days, roughly sharing his experience of his trip to Rhinoceros Island with his father Zhou Xuanhao, and then went to Chihu Ridge to meet with Taoist companion Xiao Ying.
When Zhou Yang went to Xijiaozhou, who cared about him the most was definitely Xiao Ying.
In fact, if it weren't for Zhou Minghan, Zhou Xuanhao and other Zhou family foundation-building monks who had repeatedly persuaded Xiao Ying, who was eager to find a husband, she would have been unable to help but leave the Zhou family and embark on the road to find a husband!
Seeing Zhou Yang return at this time, she was so excited that she could no longer describe it in words.
"Woo woo woo, Zhou Lang, you are finally back, I miss you so much!"
The girl threw herself into the Taoist monk's arms and hugged the Taoist monk's waist tightly with both hands. Tears of lovesickness filled her cheeks.
"Ying'er doesn't cry because she's doing something bad for her husband and makes you worry Ying'er."
Zhou Yang hugged the Taoist monk's body tightly, lowered his head and kissed the Taoist monk's smooth and white forehead, while whispering to comfort the Taoist monk.
He could understand Xiao Ying's pain of missing him.
Xiao Ying, who left her hometown to follow him to the world of immortal cultivation in the boundless sand sea, needless to say her attachment to him. Now it has been a year and a half since he left, and no news has come back. How can she not let Xiao Ying, who is extremely attached to him, care about him?
Ying was anxious and depressed.
Nothing said at this time was as useful as actual actions. Zhou Yang just raised Xiao Ying's head, lowered his head and kissed her deeply, using this direct way to make the Taoist couple feel his presence.
Zhou Yang stayed at Red Fox Ridge for a total of seven days. During these seven days, he stayed with Taoist companion Xiao Ying every moment. Even when sleeping, he acted as a humanoid pillow for Xiao Ying to lean on in his arms.
Asleep.
This kind of heart-warming companionship really benefited Xiao Ying, who was extremely insecure, and her mood soon returned to normal.
During this period, Zhou Yang also met Zhou Guangxiang's brother and sister who were practicing on the Red Fox Ridge, and gave Zhou Guangxiang's formation experience gained from the yellow-faced middle-aged man to help him attack the third-level formation mage.
At the same time, Zhou Yang also gave all the elixirs he obtained during his trip to Rhinoceros Island to Taoist companion Xiao Ying for her to use in elixir making. He also gave the "Golden Eyed Spirit Seeking Rat" that he had tamed to Taoist companion Xiao Ying.
Ying feeds and raises.
Although this "gold-eyed soul-seeking rat" is of a low level, it is very understanding of human nature and is also very afraid of death and greedy.
Zhou Yang domesticated this little guy at that time. He used the tendons of the "Iron-Armored Rhinoceros" mixed with black iron wire to make a magical collar and put it around the little guy's neck, and then deliberately gave him a chance to escape.
When the little guy thinks he has found an opportunity and escapes, he will quickly activate the magic weapon to imprison him, and then catch him and give him various minor punishments.
After repeating this cycle for more than a dozen times, the little guy accepted his new master and no longer thought about escaping.
At this time, Zhou Yang took out the third-level "Jingyuan Dan" that was originally used as food for the griffin beast and fed it to the little guy, so that the little guy knew the truth of having meat with him.
The third-level "Jingyuan Dan" can only be refined using the flesh and blood of third-level monsters. Even the original owner of the "Golden-Eyed Spirit-Seeking Rat", a yellow-faced man, paid great attention to the cultivation of this little guy and fed him a lot.
It's a good thing, but it's impossible for Zhou Yang to just feed this little guy with this treasure like a jelly bean snack.
So under the attack of Zhou Yang's "sugar-coated bullets", the little guy quickly forgot about his original owner and followed his new owner wholeheartedly to eat and drink.
Of course, Xiao Ying also understood the importance of the "golden-eyed soul-seeking rat". She was touched and happy that Zhou Yang gave her such a precious animal as a pet.
In the world of immortality, many high-level female cultivators keep some beautiful and spiritual low-level monsters as pets to relieve loneliness.
The "gold-eyed soul-seeking rat" that Zhou Yang got, regardless of its rare magical talent, just because of its appearance, it also fits the definition of a pet.
The soft white fur and golden spiritual eyes are fatally attractive to many female nuns.
Xiao Ying fell in love with this little guy almost at first sight, and after learning from Zhou Yang that this little guy liked to eat elixirs and spiritual objects, she immediately took out some second-level elixirs and some spiritual elixirs she had refined.
The fruit was fed to this little guy.
In addition, the little guy "Golden Eyed Spirit Seeking Mouse" is very knowledgeable about human nature. He knew that the relationship between Xiao Ying and his new master was very unusual, and he quickly accepted Xiao Ying as his mistress.
After handing over the "golden-eyed soul-seeking mouse" to Xiao Ying's care, Zhou Yang went to see the "flying leopard" that had also been given to Xiao Ying for more than a year.
This "Flying Leopard" has been cared for by him every day since it was born and has long remembered his scent. Although more than a year has passed, it has not forgotten who its real owner is.
As soon as Zhou Yang appeared in front of it, it excitedly jumped on Zhou Yang to give him a hug.
At this time, twenty-one months have passed since the birth of this "Flying Divine Leopard". After almost two years of growth, the little leopard, which was only the size of an ordinary domestic dog, is now as big as an ordinary tiger, and the aura exuding from it is
, and also reached the first level of top grade.
If Zhou Yang hadn't been a late-stage foundation-building immortal cultivator and had tremendous strength in his arms, he wouldn't have been able to hold this big guy in his arms.
Even so, he was suddenly attacked by this big guy and took several steps back before he could stabilize his body.
When Xiao Ying saw this scene, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and chuckled: "Zhou Lang, Xiao Qing is very smart. You have been gone for so long and I still remember you."
When Zhou Yang heard this, he immediately said with some pride: "That's right, he was raised by me, how could he not remember me? But Xiaoqing's name is too delicate and not suitable for this kid. He is the future member of our Zhou family.
Spirit beast, how can you come up with this name?"
There is no way, who made him think of a certain green snake girl when he heard the word "Xiao Qing"?
Of course Xiao Ying didn't know what he was thinking. After hearing this, she couldn't help but curiously asked: "What name do you think is nice, Mr. Zhou?"
"Xiao Tian, let's call him Xiao Tian from now on!"
An idea flashed in Zhou Yang's mind, and he suddenly thought of a very suitable name.
After he said the name, he couldn't help but pat the leopard's head, which was sticking out his tongue to lick his trousers, and murmured: "Xiaotian Xiaotian, don't disgrace this name in the future, you must become a powerful spiritual beast."
!”
The bloodline of this "Flying Divine Leopard" is very extraordinary. According to Xiao Ying, at less than two years old, it is able to hunt the same level of first-class monster beasts by itself.
Judging from its performance, as long as the Zhou family is willing to spend money, there will be almost no problem for it to become a third-order monster in the future, and it will also have a chance to be promoted to a fourth-order monster.
If it can be promoted to a fourth-level monster, based on the lifespan of a tiger and leopard fourth-level monster of at least a thousand years, this leopard will be able to protect the Zhou family for at least six to seven hundred years.
After resting in Red Fox Ridge for several days, Zhou Yang finally rode the gryphon to Huangshamen.
However, when he arrived outside the oasis where Huang Shamen was located, he did not rush to enter the oasis. Instead, he sent a messenger Feijian to his clan brother Zhou Yuanchen, asking him to help him convey the news of his arrival to Zhang Yunpeng and his wife.
At this time, Jiang Yuyan was still practicing "heretic elixir" in seclusion, and the affairs of Huangshamen were handled by Zhang Yunpeng, the leader.
Because of Cao Wenjin's original explanation, Zhang Yunpeng no longer dared to look down on Zhou Yang, a junior who had once made him laugh at him.
After receiving the news conveyed by Zhou Yuanchen, he immediately asked a close confidant, the foundation-building monk, to quietly go outside the oasis to greet Zhou Yang, and then secretly took Zhou Yang, who had changed his appearance, to Huangsha without knowing it from other disciples in the sect.
Gate of the gate.
There is nothing Zhou Yang can do about it. With the current situation of Huangshamen, if he came to visit Cao Wenjin in an honest manner, it would probably take less than two days for Luo Yunqing, Guo Shuyun and others to receive the news.
He didn't believe that there would be no spies installed by those two people and other families in such a large Huangshamen.
And with the current strength of him and the Zhou family, they cannot afford the retaliation from these Zifu monks.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, please wait here for a moment. Master Zhang has already notified you. There will be a reply in a while."
In a certain side hall on the mountain gate of Huangshamen, Zhou Yang, who arrived here hiding his identity, waited for a while, and then Zhang Yunpeng, who was now in charge of the entire Huangshamen, walked in.
"I'm sorry for bothering you, Senior Zhang. I'm very grateful to you."
Zhou Yang stood up and bowed, and when he looked at Zhang Yunpeng, his eyes were slightly strange.
According to the information he learned, Zhang Yunpeng's lifespan should be only more than 400 years old now. Based on the lifespan of a monk in the Zifu period, he should still be considered in his prime at this time.
But now Zhang Yunpeng has white hair on his head, and his complexion is much older than when he saw him more than ten years ago, like a sixty-year-old man.
This abnormal situation certainly attracted his attention.
"If he hadn't used some secret method to reduce his longevity, it would have been caused by too much pressure during this period!"
He secretly guessed in his heart, but he didn't dare to show any strange expression on his face.
After all, Zhang Yunpeng is a monk of the Zi Mansion and the current head of the Huangsha Sect. Even if he has an unusual relationship with Cao Wenjin, he would not dare to look down on him, even though the two had some unpleasantness in the past.
After Zhang Yunpeng learned that Zhou Yang was related to a real person in the Nascent Soul Stage, he did not dare to underestimate him at all.
When the two of them were talking, Zhou Yang could even faintly sense that the other party was deliberately trying to please him, which made Monk Zhang Er quite confused as he didn't know what was going on.
Fortunately, the two of them didn't talk for long before they received Cao Wenjin's reply, and then Zhou Yang went to Cao Wenjin's Cave Mansion to pay a visit under the personal leadership of Zhang Yunpeng.
When they arrived outside the cave, Zhang Yunpeng saw Zhou Yang entering the cave and personally guarded the outside of the cave.
At the same time, Zhou Yang, who walked into the cave, quickly saw Cao Wenjin's figure.
But when he saw Cao Wenjin at this time, his expression changed drastically, and he almost screamed in surprise.
"I have been waiting for you for more than a year, and finally you are here!"
The thousand-year cold jade collapsed, Cao Wenjin smiled slightly, but he didn't care about the change in Zhou Yang's face and let out a contented sigh.
It seemed that the reason why he became like this was entirely because he was waiting for Zhou Yang.
