The Baisha River Oasis is more than 3,200 miles long from east to west and more than 1,700 miles wide from north to south. It has a population of millions. It is a famous large-scale oasis in the boundless sea of sand.
This oasis is named after a long river that runs through the north and south of the oasis. The long river originates from Baituoling in the south of the oasis and flows from south to north into Jinshui Lake in the north of the oasis. It is named because the river is rich in crystal white and delicate white sand like jade.
It is Baisha River.
It is said that thousands of years ago, the area of the Baisha River Oasis was only about half of its current size. It was the Immortal Cultivation Family that later occupied the Baisha River Oasis. They spent more than a thousand years investing manpower and material resources in artificial afforestation to expand the area of the oasis to what it is now.
.
Up to now, in this oasis, in addition to the Chen family in Baituoling, there are four other foundation-building families attached to the Chen family, as well as dozens of small families composed of monks in the Qi training period. If we add
Thousands of casual cultivators rely on the oasis to make a living in the market. This Baisha River oasis is like a self-sufficient small immortal cultivating world.
Because of the existence of the Immortal Cultivator's Market, and the presence of Chen Yaohui, the ancestor of the Chen family, a later cultivator from the Purple Mansion, who is here to intimidate, the Baisha River Oasis does not prohibit the entry and exit of outside cultivators.
However, because there are still millions of mortals living in the oasis, the Chen family and the immortal cultivating families that are attached to the Chen family have specially set up contact points at conspicuous places around the oasis, and send family monks to station there all year round to guide the foreign monks to the correct way.
City, lest these outside monks disturb those mortals.
If you enter the Baisha River Oasis without passing through these connection points, once discovered by the Chen family monk patrol patrolling the oasis, you may be fined with a spiritual stone, or at worst, you may be regarded as an intruder and be killed directly.
On this day, outside a connection point south of the Baisha River Oasis, a young man in white riding a Shatuo beast was welcomed.
The young man was riding on the back of the Shatuo Beast. Like most people who crossed the sea of sand to reach the oasis, his face was full of fatigue.
It wasn't until he saw the splendid palace attic on the mountain peak in the distance that his energy perked up, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.
The young man was Zhou Yang, who had been walking in the desert for dozens of days. Forty-two days had passed since he left the Yuquan Lake Oasis.
Ever since he was attacked by sand bandits that day, he had a smooth journey in the following days. Apart from killing two blind first-order desert monsters, he never encountered any danger.
It was just that after traveling in the desert for forty-two consecutive days, because he had to consume his spiritual consciousness to explore the road every day, his spirit was extremely exhausted and he urgently needed to find a safe place to have a good rest.
The connection points set up by various families outside the Baisha River Oasis are undoubtedly a good place to rest.
"Fellow Taoist, I'm here, Chen Fangping of Baituoling. I've been assigned by my family to pick up fellow Taoists from all over the world. May I ask your surname? Do you have a history of inheritance?"
Outside the splendid Welcome Hall, Zhou Yang, who had climbed up the mountain after a long journey, saw the monks of the Chen family stationed here.
Because they are only responsible for guiding foreign monks to Fangshi, the Chen family does not have high requirements for the cultivation level of the monks who perform such tasks. The Chen family monk in front of Zhou Yang, Chen Fangping, looks to be more than ten years older than him.
De Baibai is plump and kind, but his cultivation level is only at the fifth level of Qi training.
However, with the Chen family of Baituoling as his big backer, Chen Fangping's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, even when facing a monk like him who was at the eighth level of Qi training.
Zhou Yang is not surprised by this. If it were him, with a family ancestor in the Zifu stage as his backer, he would not bow down in front of a strange monk who is younger than himself, unless the other party is a monk in the Foundation Establishment stage.
He returned the gift with a smile and said in an affectionate tone: "It turns out that this is Brother Fang Ping from Baituoling. I live in Zhou Yang, the Zhou family in Yuquan Lake. On the order of the family, I came to Jinshafang City to take care of Zhou Dynasty in place of my father Zhou Xuanhao.
My [Yuquan Pavilion], this is my identity token."
Hearing that Zhou Yang was from an allied family of the Chen family, Chen Fangping's face changed. When he took the identity token he handed over and saw clearly the message left by the foundation-building monk Zhou Minghan, his expression also changed.
smiled.
"It turns out to be brother Zhou Yang from the Yuquan Zhou family. It's really disrespectful. Although my cultivation level is low, I have heard of your father's name as a second-level high-grade alchemist. I never thought that I could inherit your father's career at such a young age.
, as expected, the tiger father has no dog son!"
Zhou Xuanhao has lived in the Baisha River Oasis for a long time, and his reputation as a second-level high-grade alchemist is naturally registered in various families. Therefore, he heard that Zhou Yang was Zhou Xuanhao's son, and saw that he had the Eighth Qi Training Master at a young age.
After cultivating himself at every level, Chen Fangping's attitude immediately improved greatly.
While returning Zhou Yang's identity token, he stretched out his hand affectionately and made a gesture of invitation and said: "Brother, I must have worked hard to come all the way from Yuquan Lake Oasis. I won't say much. Please come here, brother.
I will have someone prepare soup, water and meals for my brother."
"Brother Chen is so righteous. I would like to thank Brother Chen first."
Zhou Yang was not polite. He collected the token and followed Chen Fangping into the reception hall. As for the Shatuo beast mount, naturally the mortal groom arranged by the Chen family to serve here took it and fed it well.
Entering the reception hall, Zhou Yang first entered the hot spring pool in the back hall under the guidance of the maid and took a hot bath. When he put on clean clothes and returned to the front hall, Chen Fangping had already prepared a table.
Food and rice are waiting here.
The food is a medicinal diet made from monster meat, hundred-year-old polygonatum, hundred-year-old ginseng and other second-level elixirs, and the rice is steamed with [Golden Pearl Rice]. After eating one meal, Zhou Yang and Chen Fangping are already brothers. For those who don’t know, Zhou Yang and Chen Fangping are already brothers.
When I met them, I thought they were good friends who have known each other for many years!
However, brothers must also settle accounts clearly. I, Chen Fangping, treat you, Zhou Yang, as my brother. Are you embarrassed to be a freeloader?
When Zhou Yang had eaten and drank enough and received the consumption list from Chen Fangping, his face became very bright.
He was a little strange just now. It was just the first time for the two of them to meet. Even if Chen Fangping wanted to make friends with him because of his father Zhou Xuanhao, this meal would be a bit too sumptuous.
But at that time, the other party had already moved his chopsticks, and he was really attracted by the delicious food on the table and moved his index finger, so he didn't think much about it. He just assumed that the Chen family was a big family and didn't care about it.
It was only now that he saw the consumption list handed over by the other party that he suddenly realized that he had been tricked.
This Chen Fangping didn't want to make friends with him, he was clearly just a bastard!
Now that I think about it, Chen Fangping's previous attitude was indeed a bit too enthusiastic.
The Zhou family and the Chen family may sound like an alliance, but in fact, the Zhou family acts as a younger brother to the Chen family. Although Chen Fangping's cultivation level is low, he is still a serious disciple of the Chen family. If there is no profit motive, there is no need to lower his stature.
Come and please him!
Therefore, the real situation can only be that after Chen Fangping heard that his father was the second-level high-level alchemist Zhou Xuanhao, he decided that he was a rich fat sheep, so his attitude changed drastically and he warmly entertained him, with the purpose of trying to treat him badly.
Kill him with a knife.
Anyway, with the Chen family as his backer and being on his own territory, they really weren't afraid that he would dare to eat the King's Meal.
After thinking about all this, Zhou Yang's face gradually regained his composure. He had eaten everything. He couldn't refuse the bill even if he wanted to. What's more, it was just a meal. Zhou Yang couldn't even afford the meal.
.
"Brother Chen is good at what he does. I admire him, I admire him!"
He looked calmly at Chen Fangping, who was also looking at him indifferently. He gently raised his hand and offered the meal fee, which amounted to hundreds of spirit stones.
After receiving the spirit stone, Chen Fangping's indifferent expression changed again. He looked at him with a smile and said: "I am indeed an outstanding son of the Zhou family. This action is arrogant. I have made a commitment to you as my friend in the future."
If you need my help with anything in Shahe Oasis, just ask. Although my cultivation level is not high, I can still speak a few words to my father."
"Oh, I wonder who your father is?" Zhou Yang's expression changed and he looked at Chen Fangping with some surprise.
Is this round-faced fat man with a thick face and a dark heart also a second-generation immortal?
"That's my father, Chen Ping'an!"
Chen Fangping's face flashed with pride, and he spoke a name with pride that made Zhou Yang's expression change drastically.
"Chen Pingan! Could it be that senior Chen Pingan and Chen who killed the third-level high-grade monster [Gold Swallowing Toad] with one sword?"
Zhou Yang couldn't help but exclaimed, his face full of surprise.
"Of course!" Chen Fangping seemed very satisfied with the change in Zhou Yang's expression and nodded proudly.
"It turns out that Brother Chen is actually the son of Senior Chen. No wonder..." Zhou Yang looked at the proud round-faced fat man with a weird look on his face, and thought to himself, no wonder this guy, who is only at the fifth level of Qi training, dared to cheat him like this.
The monk on the eighth floor.
In addition to the tiger skin of the Chen family, the emotional family also has the big tree of Chen Pingan at its back.
Chen Ping'an is not an ordinary person. He is one of the more than a dozen foundation-building monks of the Chen family. His cultivation level is as high as the ninth level of foundation-building. He is the first and most glorious foundation-builder of the Chen family since the ancestors of the Chen family.
The achievement was to use a fourth-level flying sword "White Rainbow Sword" to kill the third-level high-grade monster "Gold Swallowing Toad" known for its defensive power with one sword.
With such a big boss father, as long as Chen Fangping did not offend the monks from the Zifu period, he could basically walk sideways in the Baisha River Oasis. Of course, he would not be afraid of him, a mere monk from the Zhouyang Foundation-building family.
Seeing the change in Zhou Yang's face, Chen Fangping didn't know what he was saying, but he didn't mind, after all, it was the truth.
He narrowed his eyes, walked up to Zhou Yang with a friendly expression, patted his shoulder and said, "How's it going? Do you still feel like you're at a disadvantage now? If you treat me to a meal, I'll have a chance to get along with my father.
Relationship, this is definitely a huge profit. You have to know that with my father’s status, even if the patriarch of your Zhou family comes to see him, it will be very difficult!”
"I……"
Zhou Yang looked at Chen Fangping who was looking at him with a look like "You've made a lot of money", and he really felt like he was an orange cat.
He tilted his head slightly, avoiding the direct gaze of the round and fat face, and coughed slightly in embarrassment: "Ahem, since Brother Chen said this, I would like to ask again, you don't need spiritual stones to sleep here."
Bar?"
Zhou Yang was also afraid of being cheated, and he gained wisdom every time he suffered. Now, in addition to breathing, drinking a glass of water and sleeping have to ask in advance whether it is free or not.
Seeing him like this, Chen Fangping was also amused by his words. He couldn't help laughing and said: "Hahaha, brother, it's really interesting. Don't worry, not only is there no charge for sleeping, but I will also give you two beauties for free.
