The arrival of his father Zhou Xuanhao and his mother Lin Yuting made Zhou Yang's daily life finally no longer so boring.
Since he was seven years old, their family has been together less and more apart. Now it is finally possible to reunite and live together. The father and son cherish this wonderful time very much.
Zhou Yang even stopped his daily practice. Every day, he would either go outside with his mother to help create an oasis, dig in the desert to find unique food plants in the desert, or listen to his father talk about the various things he had seen and heard in Fangshi.
Hearing strange things, life is full and happy.
However, this family is all cultivators after all, and even when chatting about everyday things, they can't help but talk about matters related to cultivation.
On this day, when Zhou's father and Zhou Yang were talking about what he had witnessed when he was a guest of a certain immortal cultivating family, his expression suddenly changed and he couldn't help but look at Zhou Yang and asked: "Yang'er, the old patriarch said that [Haoyang Cave] is here
You will be in charge from now on, so what are your plans for the development and utilization of the spiritual veins here?"
Hearing this, Zhou Yang couldn't help but replied with some embarrassment: "Dad, you are asking about the child. The child has been busy practicing these years, but he has never thought about this issue."
"Cultivation is important. This is right." Zhou Xuanhao nodded, expressing his approval of Zhou Yang's answer, then looked at him with encouragement and said: "But since you have reached a bottleneck period now, you might as well start planning this
It just so happens that my father and your mother are both here. If you have any ideas, feel free to tell us so that we can provide you with the details."
When Zhou Yang heard this, he knew that his father actually had an idea in his mind. In this way, it was just a small test.
To be honest, he was a little bit critical of his father and other elders' practice of testing the younger generation before doing anything.
Although these juniors are called juniors, they are all in their thirties and forties. They are almost grandfathers in the world, but they are always treated like children by their elders. No one can be happy.
ah.
Even if you pass the test and receive a few words of praise from the elders, so what?
Should we still happily ask for candy from our elders like a child who is praised?
He was complaining in his heart, but he lowered his head and thought with a thoughtful look on his face. After a moment, he raised his head with an embarrassed look and said: "My child has little knowledge, but I really want to do this kind of construction matters."
I don’t have any good ideas. Father, you are well-informed and I still need more guidance from you on this matter.”
"Haha, it's rare that there is something you don't understand, Yang'er!"
Zhou Xuanhao burst out laughing, which seemed to deflate Zhou Yang, which was a very happy thing.
It's no wonder that he is like this. These days, when he and Zhou Yang are chatting, except when he tells some strange things in the world of immortality, Zhou Yang can't get in the conversation, any other topics related to customs, humanities and even the governance system.
, Zhou Yang was able to chime in and express some unique insights, sometimes even leaving him, a father, speechless for a long time.
Zhou Xuanhao didn't know how his son, who had been cultivating in the family, managed to know everything. He just felt that he was completely unable to act like a father in front of this son.
If Zhou Yang didn't look so young and he was his own son who he had watched since childhood, even if someone told Zhou Xuanhao that he was an old monster who had practiced Jin Dan for hundreds of years, he would never have doubted it.
But he couldn't find anyone to talk to about his depression, otherwise he wouldn't be laughed to death!
Knowing this, it is not difficult to understand why he is so happy now.
At this moment, he was in a happy mood and finally regained his confidence as a father. He laughed, looked at Zhou Yang with a smug expression and said:
"[Haoyang Cave] has spiritual veins hidden deep underground, and is surrounded by rocks. If you want to follow the example of Yuquan Peak and open up a spiritual field, you will definitely not be able to do it!"
"But this is not entirely a bad thing. The rocks on the spiritual veins are nourished by spiritual energy all year round and are much harder than ordinary rocks. They are suitable for opening into spiritual beast rooms to keep some low-level monsters in captivity. When the time comes, the monsters will be killed for meat.
It’s also a good source of income.”
"In addition, you can also borrow some storage bags from the old patriarch, dig some more spiritual soil from the spiritual field on Yuquan Peak, bring it over and spread it in the cave outside, and use it to plant some third-level and fourth-level plants that require greater spiritual energy.
Miraculous medicine.”
"Finally, the aura attribute of [Haoyang Cave] is biased toward the fire attribute, which means that the earth-fire lava layer here is relatively shallow. After you build the foundation, you can collect a sum of spiritual stones and go to Jinshafang City to ask the ancestors of the Chen family to help open it.
With an underground fire passage, when the family's alchemists and weapon refiners want to refine high-level elixirs and magic weapons, they won't have to go to Jinshafang City to rent an underground fire room."
Zhou Xuanhao has lived for nearly a hundred years, and has been in charge of Immortal Cultivator City for a long time. He has also visited other Immortal Cultivating families many times on behalf of the Zhou family. In terms of knowledge of Immortal Cultivating, "young people" like Zhou Yang are completely incomparable.
The several suggestions he put forward sounded simple, but in fact they were the result of his detailed investigation of the spiritual veins of the "Haoyang Cave" these past few days, adapting measures to local conditions, and exhausting meditation.
Every suggestion is the best choice made after considering all aspects of the situation.
Although Zhou Xuanhao didn't say these things, Zhou Yang, who was an office worker in his previous life, knew it clearly.
Then he remembered that he had just complained that his father was not considerate of the younger generation, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed. He lowered his head with shame and bowed deeply to his father and said: "Father, you have great views, but the child is ashamed. He is sitting on a treasure mountain without knowing it.
I am really ashamed of my family, the patriarch and all the elders for their love!"
"Why should my son be like this?"
Zhou Xuanhao looked at Zhou Yang's move with some surprise, not understanding why Zhou Yang was suddenly so solemn.
"Well, father, don't worry about the child. The child just feels ashamed and a little out of his mind."
Zhou Yang looked embarrassed and quickly used his magic power to suppress the strange emotions in his heart. He smiled dryly and raised his head to find an excuse to fool him.
"Well, it is also a good thing to know how to be ashamed. At your age and with your current achievements in cultivation, it will inevitably breed arrogance and look down on other peers and even senior monks. This mentality is very bad! My father suggests that you should go out more in the future.
See the outside world, communicate more with monks outside the family, and when you have seen and heard of many geniuses in the world of cultivation, you will know that your current achievements are nothing compared to the entire world of cultivation!"
Zhou Xuanhao nodded lightly and did not delve into the reason why Zhou Yang felt ashamed. He just watched him teach him the principles of life.
"What my father said is that the child actually has this intention, but I'd better explain this matter to the old patriarch after you complete the matter."
Hearing Zhou Yang talk about "that thing", Zhou Xuanhao couldn't help but fell silent.
Taking [Earth Spirit Milk] to attack the foundation building stage is a narrow escape. Whether it can succeed or not depends entirely on God's will. What he says now is of no use. There is really no need to say more.
When Zhou Yang saw this, he secretly cursed himself for which pot he didn't open, and quickly changed the subject and said: "Father, since you have given the suggestion to open the spirit beast room, it just so happens that we have nothing to do now, so why not do it now?"
Let’s try it out to see if this method is feasible.”
"That's fine."
Zhou Xuanhao's eyes flashed, and he nodded slightly to avoid the heavy topic.
Opening the spirit beast room is easy, just use the flying sword to cut the stone wall. Zhou Yang and Zhou Xuanhao are at the eighth level of Qi training and the ninth level of Qi training. They both have second-level high-grade flying sword magic weapons in their hands. To do this
Don’t take the hard work of farming too lightly.
In less than half a year, the father and son used the holes dug by the poisonous fire scorpions in the cave outside to open up four circular stone chambers that were more than 200 feet long, one foot wide and seven feet high.
These circular stone chambers are surrounded by thick stone walls on the top, bottom and left and right. Even the second-level monsters are inside. As long as they are not monsters like gold-eating rats who are good at digging holes and escaping from the ground, it is impossible to escape from the stone chambers.
The Zhou family also raises a first-order middle-grade monster called the "Phoenix-Crowned Turkey" on Yuquan Peak. This monster can grow up to forty or fifty kilograms, and its meat is firm and chewy... and most importantly, it is easy to fill up.
The belly is deeply loved by low-level casual cultivators.
Zhou Yang planned to introduce a batch of "Phoenix-Crowned Turkeys" from Yuquan Peak and raise them in the Spirit Beast Room to see the effect after he established the foundation.
Not long after the Spirit Beast Room was built, [Earth Spirit Milk] overflowed from the ten thousand year stalactite.
The overflowing [Earth Spiritual Milk] is amber in color and exudes an alluring fragrance. The quantity is not large, less than one liter.
"I'll take half of it and that's enough. Keep the rest of [Earth Spiritual Milk] Yang'er and give it to the old patriarch for disposal."
As an alchemist, Zhou Xuanhao naturally collects the [Earth Spirit Milk]. After collecting the overflowing [Earth Spirit Milk] in a jade bottle, he poured half of it into another jade bottle and gave it to Zhou
Positive.
Then he stared lovingly at his wife and children standing next to him, and after a full quarter of an hour he smiled brightly and said: "Okay, what needs to be explained has been done a long time ago. No one is allowed to cry today. Just wait quietly for my good news."
that is!"
"Husband!"
Lin Yuting whispered with tears in her beautiful eyes, and held the man's hands tightly with her beautiful hands, unwilling to let go.
Although she had already advised her and understood the man's choice, at this moment, as a woman, she still couldn't help crying.
Zhou Yang, on the other hand, was unusually calm at this time. He looked at his father Zhou Xuanhao, nodded slightly, then stretched out his hand to hold his mother Lin Yuting and persuaded softly: "Mom, let's go, father."
What is needed most now is meditation, we cannot let him go through the test with worries!"
"Take good care of your mother and don't let her do stupid things!"
Zhou Xuanhao's mana surged, and he gently pushed his wife's hands away. Then he turned around and walked into the secret room without looking back. He lowered the door of the secret room with a "bang".
