Compared to the time when he could only secretly let people pick him up the mountain, this time Zhou Yang came to Huangshamen with no intention of hiding his whereabouts.
Now, he no longer needs to be afraid of exposing his relationship with Huang Shamen, because regardless of whether this relationship is exposed or not, he and Luo Yunqing are mortal enemies who will never stop fighting.
Since that's the case, of course he won't do things that would make people laugh after they find out.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou came so quickly!"
Different from the last time he received Zhou Yang in a side hall, this time Zhang Yunpeng received Zhou Yang directly in the main hall where the head practiced daily.
Such specifications are generally only available to monks in the Zifu period, and they are not the treatment that ordinary monks in the Zifu period can enjoy.
And because Zhou Yang had asked Chen Ping'an of the Chen family to inform Zhang Yunpeng of the relevant news on his behalf before Zhou Yang came over, so Zhang Yunpeng only said this after seeing him at this time.
"It won't work if you don't hurry up. There isn't much time left for the juniors!"
Zhou Yang looked towards the outside of the palace and said, his eyes seeming to be able to travel thousands of miles away and see the enemy living on Luofeng Mountain.
This was of course an illusion, but as the date for the Dao Heart Oath was approaching, he did feel a sense of urgency in his daily practice.
He knew that this was his soul giving him a warning, reminding him not to forget the Tao Heart Oath.
"It seems that Fellow Daoist Zhou is really ready."
Zhang Yunpeng stared at him carefully for a few times, then nodded slightly and said: "Since fellow Taoist has decided, Zhang will naturally not violate the agreement between master and fellow Taoist. This jade slip records that I, Huang Shamen
Fellow Taoist monks can study the experience of more than a dozen Zifu monks in opening up Zifu. The [Purple Heart Chalcedony] will be sent to you in a few days."
After Zhang Yunpeng finished speaking, he first handed the jade slip to Zhou Yang, then took out a token and handed it to him: "This token is the cave entrance and exit token specially prepared by our Huangshamen for the monks who opened up the Zifu.
From now on, fellow Taoist Zhou will stay in it temporarily."
"Senior Zhang is tired."
Zhou Yang took the jade slip and token and held it in his hand to express his gratitude.
Cao Wenjin was of course afraid that Cao Wenjin would run away after using the "Purple Heart Chalcedony" to open the Purple Mansion.
But on the other hand, this is a fifth-level high-grade spiritual vein after all. If he opens the Zi Mansion here, he will be able to save at least one or two years of practice after the advancement.
However, Zhou Yang was not in a hurry to go into seclusion in the cave to study the experiences of the senior monks in the jade slip. Instead, he first visited his clan brother Zhou Yuanchen to express his family's gratitude for his help in making the spiritual talisman.
"Ninth brother, your cultivation talent is really something that even my brother would envy!"
"To be honest, brother Wei was actually very unconvinced that my great-grandfather chose you to take the Foundation Establishment Pill. He felt that he was partial to you because of his uncle!"
"But now I know how ridiculous my original idea was! My great-grandfather has a long-term view. He should have seen your potential a long time ago, so he chose to use the whole family's efforts to train you.
."
"And you have indeed not disappointed my great-grandfather. Under your leadership, the Zhou family has become more and more prosperous year by year, and is now about to be promoted to the Zifu family!"
"I'm not as good as you! Far inferior!"
In Zhou Yuanchen's cave, facing Zhou Yang's visit, the eldest brother of the "Yuan" generation of the Zhou family first warmly entertained him with good wine and food.
However, after the two of them had been eating and drinking for a while, Zhou Yuanchen seemed to have started chatting, looking at Zhou Yang with a look of emotion on his face and letting out a long sigh.
As he himself said, when he was in Huangshamen, he was actually very unconvinced when he heard that the old patriarch Zhou Minghan identified Zhou Yang as the "foundation-building seed" of the Zhou family.
Because he was the eldest brother of the "Yuan" generation and had a middle-grade thunder-attribute spiritual root qualification, he did not have this kind of treatment at the beginning, so he had to join Huangshamen at the age of twenty to give it a try.
It's hard to explain whether his decision to attack the Foundation Establishment level even without the Foundation Establishment Pill was a bit of a grudge, and he wanted to prove to the old patriarch Zhou Minghan and the family elders that he couldn't compete with others.
Zhou Yangcha.
But what happened later, especially the things Zhou Yang did since he took over as the head of the Zhou family after establishing the foundation, gradually made him realize that he was indeed not as good as Zhou Yang, no matter what aspect.
Now, at the age of 103, Zhou Yang has reached the ninth level of foundation building and is about to open the Purple Mansion.
And Zhou Yuanchen, who is more than 20 years older than Zhou Yang, is still stuck at the fourth level of foundation construction. This can already explain a lot of things.
But he could say this, Zhou Yang obviously couldn't think so himself, Dang even bowed his hands humbly and said: "Brother Yuan Chen is so complimentary, I just have some talent in cultivation, so I can be as good as I am today.
My cultivation is inseparable from the cultivation and support of my great-grandfather and all the elders."
"The family can become more and more prosperous, which is also the result of everyone's joint efforts. Brother Yuanchen also has a contribution to it, but it is not just the contribution of the younger brother!"
Seeing this, Zhou Yuanchen reached out and grabbed his wrist, shook his head repeatedly and said: "Ninth brother, you don't have to be so humble. There is no need to be so polite between us brothers. What is the truth? Brother, I am very clear in my heart. You are indeed
The pride of our Zhou family, I am also proud to have a clan brother like you!"
Zhou Yang fell silent for a moment.
He could feel the complicated mood of Zhou Yuanchen at this moment. It was probably because after hearing today that he was going to retreat in Huangshamen to open a purple mansion, the thing that this clan brother had been pursuing so hard collapsed, so he was filled with alcohol.
Confess your concerns.
"Brother, you drank too much."
In the end, he just grabbed Zhou Yuanchen's wrist and said such dry words.
Zhou Yuanchen let him catch him and did not deny it. He just looked at him and said: "You must succeed! You must succeed!"
After speaking, without waiting for Zhou Yang to respond, he murmured to himself: "When you succeed, my brother can safely marry a wife and have children within the family, leaving a bloodline inheritance!"
Marry a wife and have children, and then let the descendants with spiritual roots return to the Zhou family to recognize their ancestors. This was what he had promised when the Zhou family sponsored him to build the foundation.
It's just that over the years, he has been busy improving his cultivation and talisman-making skills, and has no time to think about this matter.
Secondly, he refused to admit defeat and held his breath, wanting to compete with Zhou Yang again to see who was more talented and who had made greater contributions to the Zhou family.
But now, he no longer has these thoughts.
As long as Zhou Yang succeeds in opening the Zifu and the Zhou family is promoted to the Zifu family, he, Zhou Yuanchen, will no longer have any reason to do this.
And he is indeed not young. If he plans to leave offspring, now is the best time.
"Don't worry, brother, I will definitely succeed, for sure!"
Zhou Yang finally stopped being modest and just grabbed Zhou Yuanchen's wrist tightly, letting the clan brother feel his firmest determination and will.
Next, after Zhou Yang said goodbye to Zhou Yuanchen, he returned directly to the cave arranged by Zhang Yunpeng for retreat, and carefully studied the experiences left by the senior monks.
There is no need to mention how much these experiences and experiences of opening the Purple Mansion will help a monk who is about to open the Purple Mansion.
If Zhou Yang hadn't made such a deal with Cao Wenjin, Zhou Yang would have really had to rely on his own exploration if he wanted to open up the Zi Mansion.
While he was in seclusion, Jiang Yuyan on the other side of Luofeng Mountain also asked someone to bring back the "Purple Heart Chalcedony" that Cao Wenjin left for him and hand it over to him. At the same time, what was handed over to him was also
There are two other spiritual objects that are slightly helpful in opening up the Purple Mansion.
These two kinds of spiritual objects are "spiritual incense" and "requiem grass".
Among them, the "spiritual incense" is lit when opening the Purple Mansion. The aroma helps to attract the soul hidden in the sea of consciousness, thereby helping the monks find the correct position.
As long as a piece of "Requiem Grass" is held in the mouth, it can have the effect of calming the soul.
These two spiritual objects are also the most helpful spiritual objects that the foundation-building monks of the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation World can buy with spirit stones when they open up the Purple Mansion.
However, for Zhou Yang, of these two spiritual objects, only the "Requiem Grass" may be useful.
His sea of consciousness has been expanded by more than half after the incident of the Blood Netherworld seizing his body. He can clearly sense and find the location of his soul without the help of "Incense".
As for the "Requiem Grass", it was prepared for those with weak will, and his Taoist heart was extremely firm.
Therefore, together with the "Purple Heart Chalcedony", he put these things into his storage bag, preparing to leave them for Taoist companion Xiao Ying to use when she opened the Purple Mansion.
That's right, Zhou Yang has never thought of using "Purple Heart Chalcedony" to assist in opening up Zi Mansion.
It was precisely because of this that he originally bargained with Cao Wenjin over the price of "Purple Heart Chalcedony" for "Jade Liquid Golden Elixir".
In fact, in his mind, by accepting this "Purple Heart Chalcedony", he still betrayed Cao Wenjin.
Otherwise, if he really wants this thing, he only needs to go to the Immortal Realm of Liuyun Continent after opening the Purple Mansion, and he can buy a copy with less than 300,000 spirit stones for safekeeping, so why would he agree to half sell and half give a copy to Huang Shamen in the future?
"Jade liquid golden elixir"!
"It just so happens that the [Purple Cloud Fruits] in Ziyun Cave will be mature in another thirty or forty years. At that time, some [Purple Cloud Pills] will be refined and let Yinger use them with these spiritual objects. With her high-grade spirit
With Gen’s qualifications, the chance of opening the Purple Mansion can be at least 60%!”
Zhou Yang thought of this, smiled slightly, and continued to study the experiences and experiences left by the senior monks.
In this way, after half a year of studying these experiences in seclusion in the cave, he finally had a clear understanding of the various precautions and processes involved in opening the Purple Mansion.
It was only then that he sent a summons Feijian to Zhang Yunpeng, telling him that he was preparing to formally attack the Zi Mansion.
