In the "Qianyang Cave", Zhou Yang sat cross-legged on the jade bed, looking directly at Huang Yi who walked into the cave, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
You must know that Huang Yi is definitely the person who least wants to see him in the Zhou family.
Many times, Huang Yi would try his best to avoid meeting him and obviously avoid him.
As a result, Huang Yi, who had been avoiding him today, took the rare initiative to come to see him. How could he not be curious about Huang Yi's purpose?
Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, Huang Yi's face moved slightly, and suddenly he bowed deeply and said, "Clan Chief Mingjian, Huang Yi is here to apologize to the Clan Chief!"
When Zhou Yang heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but follow his words and asked: "Excuse me? What crime are you guilty of?"
"Huang Yi is guilty. The crime is that he hid the treasure secretly and refused to hand it over to the family. The crime is that he used the heart of a villain to save the patriarch of the clan and the noble man!"
Huang Yi said "cause of crime" in a low voice, shook his sleeves and took out a white jade box from his sleeves, then held the jade box in both hands and presented it to Zhou Yang and whispered: "This jade box In the box, there is a [Thousand-year-old Poria cocos], which must be more than 3,000 years old. It is the treasure that Huang Yi obtained in Rhinoceros Continent!"
"Huang Yi is ashamed. He knew that he could not use this thing, but he still kept it with him for selfish reasons. He was unwilling to hand it over to the family and asked the patriarch to punish him!"
"Thousand-year-old Poria cocos" from three thousand years ago!
Even though Zhou Yang possessed many treasures, he still inevitably showed a look of surprise after hearing Huang Yi's words.
You must know that any elixir, no matter what kind of elixir it is, as long as its medicinal power can reach the level of a thousand-year elixir, it is at least a fourth-level elixir.
Even among fifth-level elixirs, elixirs with a potency of three thousand years can be ranked among the top grades.
It is said that if there is an elixir that can increase the cumulative power of the medicine to the level of a ten thousand-year elixir, it will not only become a sixth-level elixir, but also have a high chance of generating spirituality and forming the legendary "medicine spirit".
If an elixir becomes a "medicine spirit", it is equivalent to the spiritual tree opening up its wisdom and becoming a tree demon. Not only does it have a strong magical power, it can also rise up from the ground and migrate independently.
Let’s not talk about the sixth-level elixir, let’s talk about the fifth-level elixir, which is also a treasure that is hard to find.
Even Zhou Yang did not see such a level of elixir being auctioned at the Xianyang City auction.
This is of course not because the value of the fifth-level elixir is higher than that of "Jade Liquid Golden Pill" and other treasures, but because of this level of elixir, no one would be stupid enough to use it as a raw material to sell spiritual stones.
Like those golden elixir stage monks, once they obtain this level of elixir, they will not be able to use it even if they are not proficient in alchemy.
They would also use elixirs of this level as exchange items to exchange for what they need in private exchange meetings, or to exchange elixirs and favors from a certain fifth-level alchemist.
If Huang Yi was not lying, then the items in the jade box in his hand could really be called "heavy treasure".
"Let me see."
Zhou Yang said, Dangzhi took the jade box with a flick of his sleeves, opened the lid and looked at it.
In the jade box, I saw a large piece of "Di Poria" that was golden in color and exuded strong spiritual energy fluctuations and medicinal fragrance. It was visiting the jade box with its whole body and tail.
Zhou Yang has also seen "Di Fuling" that is two or three hundred years old. That level of "Di Fuling" is only bright yellow in color, like sand ginger.
But now the "Poria cocos" in the jade box is golden in color and as clear as amber, and its rich medicinal fragrance makes the mana in his body become much more active after a monk like him in the Purple Palace takes a sip.
.
It can be seen that this thing is not older than the three thousand years mentioned by Huang Yi, and it must be a real fifth-level elixir!
For Zhou Yang, knowing this is enough.
So in order to prevent the medicine from losing its power, he didn't look any further. He just closed the lid with a "snap" and took out a third-level "spirit-sealing talisman" from the storage bag to seal the spiritual energy and prevent the medicine from losing its power and stick it on the jade box.
Above, he carefully put it into a storage bag.
After he put away the jade box, he straightened his face, looked at Huang Yi with sharp eyes and said, "Tell me, what reward do you want for offering this?"
Asking for forgiveness but not asking for forgiveness is just a pretext.
Huang Yi had not offered this thing for a long time, and he had to wait until this time to offer it. Obviously, he had something to ask for.
Therefore, Zhou Yang didn't bother to be polite to this person. He just accepted the things first and then asked this person what he wanted.
This was also a statement of his, that is, he told Huang Yi that after I accepted the things, I would not take them out again.
As for whether Huang Yi can do what he wants and whether he will agree to it, that is up to him to judge.
And since Huang Yi took out such a valuable treasure in front of Zhou Yang, he knew in his heart that it would be impossible to get the things back today no matter what.
So when he saw Zhou Yang's actions, his expression didn't change much. He just calmed down, looked at Zhou Yang firmly and said: "Huang Yi wants to ask the patriarch for something. I want to ask the patriarch to allow Huang Yi to open his own lineage."
By establishing a family, Huang Yi can guarantee to the clan leader that the Huang family established by Huang Yi will be absolutely loyal to the Zhou family, and Huang Yi himself will absolutely obey the clan leader's orders unconditionally as long as he lives for one day!"
"Oh, you want to start an independent immortal cultivating family?"
Zhou Yang looked at Huang Yi in surprise, not expecting that the other party would actually put forward such a condition.
He also thought that Huang Yi would use "Thousand Years of Earth Poria" as the price to ask him to release the "Netherworld Blood Contract" that restricted his freedom.
He even made up his mind that as long as Huang Yi made this request, he would immediately agree to this condition.
But after agreeing, he would personally kill him after he left the Zhou family.
This seems contradictory and unnecessary.
But in fact it is necessary and not contradictory at all.
Those who find it contradictory just think that since Zhou Yang doesn't want to let him go, he doesn't have to agree, so there is no need to kill Huang Yi.
Little did he know that Zhou Yang, as a monk in the Zifu period, had to do what he said was the most basic rule of conduct. Since he accepted the treasure presented by Huang Yi, he would definitely agree to Huang Yi's request, even if the request seemed to him to be insignificant.
Etiquette, very ignorant of good and evil.
But as a monk in the Zifu period and as the patriarch of the Zhou family, it was impossible for him to let Huang Yi, who knew the details of the Zhou family very well, leave the family like this.
Once he allowed Huang Yi to leave safely, it would not only be a bad start, but also a bad start for other relatives and monks who would join the Zhou family in the future to follow suit.
It will also hurt the self-esteem of the Zhou family and hurt the reputation of the Zhou family.
These are things he cannot allow to happen.
But now, since Huang Yi has not put forward such conditions that are too excessive for him to accept, there is no need to mention his thoughts again.
I saw him looking at Huang Yi deeply, without saying a word, just looking directly into the other person's eyes.
It wasn't until Huang Yi couldn't bear the pressure brought by his gaze and lowered his head to express surrender that he closed his eyes and said lightly: "You are really smart! You just hit my bottom line!"
"Okay, since you want to establish a family, then I will make it happen for you. After this family meeting, I will designate a second-level high-grade spiritual mountain on Chihu Mountain for you to establish a family to reward you for your contribution to the elixir!"
"Thank you to the patriarch for your kindness. Huang Yi is grateful. From now on, whenever the patriarch has an assignment, Huang Yi will never give up!"
Huang Yi raised his head, his face full of joy and he quickly thanked him loudly to show his loyalty.
He knew he had made the right bet!
The reason why he dared to take this gamble was because he made up his mind after hearing these days that Ma Shaoyang and others had surrendered to Zhou Yang and retained the right to rule the spirit stone and oasis.
In fact, the conversation Zhou Yang had with him in Haoyang Mountain when he was about to go to Huangshamen to open up the Zifu made him moved.
But it was Zhou Yang who forced him to sign the "Netherworld Blood Contract" in the first place. This made him selectively distrustful of Zhou Yang's words, so he never made up his mind to give up the treasure in his hands.
It was only after hearing about Ma Shaoyang and others this time that he finally made up his mind.
Now it seems that he made the right bet.
Since Zhou Yang could tolerate Ma Shaoyang and other people he had never met before, he would not directly kill him, a person who had shed blood and sweat for the Zhou family, just because of his request.
The main reason why Zhou Yang agreed to Huang Yi's request was of course because of the "Millennium Earth Poria" he presented. If this was presented by a monk from the Zhou family, the contribution points earned from the reward would be used to purchase a foundation building tree.
Dan is enough.
The secondary reason is that the Zhou family is now so powerful that the absence of a foundation-building monk like Huang Yi will not have any impact.
What's more, even if Huang Yi founded the Huang clan, he would still be bound by the blood contract and continue to obey the orders of the Zhou family.
And from Zhou Yang's point of view, allowing Huang Yi to open up the Huang clan might not be a bad thing.
First of all, if Huang Yi established a family, it would be equivalent to having something to care about. He would definitely be more motivated to do things in the future and would not dare to play tricks anymore.
Furthermore, if the Zhou family can have one more vassal family, from a side perspective, it will also enhance the family's overall strength.
After handling Huang Yi's affairs in this way, Zhou Yang began to personally work on another major event, which was to personally write invitations to invite people to attend his Zifu celebration.
According to his plan, the Zifu celebration will be held five years later.
At this Purple Mansion celebration, he will not only invite Zhang Yunpeng and his wife and some acquaintances of the foundation-building monks in Huangshamen to attend, but he will also invite almost all the existing foundation-building immortal cultivating families in the boundless sand sea.
For this reason, he specially wrote the words "Your Majesty, Elder Zhou Yang of Huangshamen" on the invitation card.
With such a line of words, there must be few people in the families who are vassalized under Huang Shamen who would dare not to show their face.
In addition, he also let people release the news, welcoming all foundation-building cultivators who did not have invitations to attend his Zifu celebration, and offered a generous inducement of three days of personal sermons and confusion by the Zifu-period monks to attract those foundation-building cultivators.
build.
After hundreds of invitations were written by Zhou Yang himself and sent to various destinations by ten late-stage Zhou family Qi-training monks riding flying fire bats, the Zhou family meeting on Chihu Mountain was officially held.
