Chapter 36: Taking over the shop

After saying goodbye to Zhou Ping and Zhou Yu, Zhou Yang went to the second floor to visit his twelfth aunt Qian Hongyu, and then went up to the third floor to visit his seventh uncle Zhou Xuanlin, who was in charge of "Yuquan Tower".

Zhou Xuanlin had only reached the ninth level of Qi training when he was nearly ninety years old. He looked quite old. When Zhou Yang saw him, he was sitting leisurely on the third floor, drinking tea and listening to music. He looked like a worldly person.

An old rich man among mortals.

That song was not sung by a singer or an actor, but was sung by a first-order magical instrument called a "voice bead."

"Hey, Xiaojiu, you don't practice in the family, why are you here in Fangshi?"

Zhou Xuanlin, who originally didn't pay much attention when he heard the footsteps going up the stairs, saw that the person coming was Zhou Yang, his expression changed slightly, he put down his teacup and stood up from his seat in surprise.

He had also participated in the battle to attack the "Haoyang Cave", so he naturally knew that Zhou Yang had been practicing there in seclusion over the years. Now that he saw Zhou Yang appearing here without a high rank, he couldn't help but have thoughts in his mind.

There are many speculations.

"My nephew, Zhou Yang, has met Uncle Seventh."

Zhou Yang first bowed respectfully as a junior, and then smiled softly and said: "I want Uncle Qi to know that my father has successfully established the foundation. Now the family is preparing to hold a foundation celebration, so the old patriarch asked his nephew to

Come to Fangshi to take your place at Yuquan Tower in place of Uncle Qi, so that Uncle Qi, Brother Four, Brother Five and the rest of the tribe can return to the family to participate in this celebration."

"What? Your father succeeded in building the foundation!"

Zhou Xuanlin was shocked and stunned by the news brought by Zhou Yang.

Of course he knew about Zhou Xuanhao's return to his family to prepare for foundation building, but he was not optimistic about Zhou Xuanhao's success in foundation building this time. When he met Zhou Yang just now, he wondered whether Zhou Xuanhao's foundation building had failed.

After his death, the family sent Zhou Yang to inform him to return to the family to mourn!

"I didn't expect, I didn't expect, I didn't expect that big brother would actually succeed!"

He muttered to himself in disbelief, with an indescribably complicated look on his face.

Before this, almost all the monks of the Zhou family thought that the next monk of the Zhou family would be Zhou Yang. No one expected that Zhou Xuanhao, who was nearly a hundred years old and had almost no hope of establishing a foundation, would unexpectedly suddenly emerge and beat his son.

Successfully built the foundation in front of me.

He can succeed with a foundation building success rate of several percent, so this is too much luck!

"Could it be that [Earth Spirit Milk], in addition to restoring the physical vitality of monks during the Qi training period, also has the effect of increasing the success rate of foundation building?"

Zhou Xuanlin didn't really believe in luck. He only reached the ninth level of Qi training when he was nearly ninety years old. He relied on his own hard work day by day and year by year to achieve all his abilities.

Rather than saying that Zhou Xuanhao's success in foundation building was due to luck, he was more willing to believe that the effect of the third-level spiritual object [Earth Spiritual Milk] was unexpected and had a bonus effect on foundation building.

If this is the case, he is only in his nineties this year. Can he also apply to his family to take the remaining [Earth Spiritual Milk] to build the foundation?

But as soon as the idea came up, he immediately denied it with a wry smile.

So what if [Earth Spiritual Milk] really has a bonus effect on foundation building?

Zhou Xuanhao dared to take the risk because he had middle-grade spiritual qualifications, and someone else gave birth to a genius son. Even if he lost, he would die with no regrets.

But what about Zhou Xuanlin?

He has a low-grade spiritual root qualification, and even if he takes the "Foundation Building Pill", he only has a 30% success rate in foundation building. What can he do to fight for it?

If Zhou Xuanhao loses the fight, he doesn't have to worry about the future life problems of his wife and children. If he loses the fight, what will his sons and grandchildren who have no spiritual root qualifications do in the future?

"Everything is fate!"

Zhou Xuanlin sighed with bitterness in his heart.

Among ordinary mortals, there are those who end up as beggars and end up with yellow robes. In the world of immortals, there are also those who have the following spiritual root qualifications and eventually become great monks in the Nascent Soul stage.

It's a pity that such people are only a handful of people after all, ninety-nine percent of mortals and immortal cultivators. Their fate is actually destined at the moment of birth.

Mortals who are born into a wealthy family will always enjoy fine clothing and food throughout their lives. Immortal cultivators with high-grade spiritual roots can basically succeed in building a foundation.

As for ordinary mortals who are born into civilian families, ordinary cultivators with only low-grade spiritual roots, if nothing unexpected happens, they will remain ordinary civilians and ordinary cultivators in the Qi-training period for the rest of their lives!

Zhou Xuanlin has lived for more than ninety years and has already seen through this. Therefore, after he worked hard to reach the ninth level of Qi training, he basically gave up on the illusion of foundation building and just wanted to spend the remaining twenty or thirty years of his life.

, enjoy the joys of life that you didn't dare to enjoy before, and don't live in vain.

Now that he has recognized the reality clearly, and seeing Zhou Yang looking at him with a strange expression, he just remembered that his words in surprise just now seemed inappropriate, and he couldn't help but yelled: "Ah, I just made a mistake, Xiaojiu, don't

Misunderstanding, my eldest brother has succeeded in establishing the Foundation. I am sincerely happy for him and happy to have an additional monk in the foundation-building stage in my family. I definitely have no intention of slandering my eldest brother. I dare to swear!"

He was also anxious and even swore out loud.

It's no wonder that Zhou Xuanhao succeeded in establishing the foundation and became the second existing monk in the family to establish the foundation. His identity was completely different from before.

As a family elder and Zhou Xuanhao's clan brother, if news spread that he was jealous and slandering the family's foundation-building monks, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan would be so angry that he would throw him out of the elder position, and other monks of his generation would probably also

I would cut off contact with him, which would make him feel more uncomfortable than killing him.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yang's unhappiness quickly dissipated. He relaxed and said with a smile on his face: "Uncle Qi, don't be excited. You are loyal to the family. The old patriarch and my father and the others

We all know that our Zhou family monks have always been united, so of course I believe you will not slander my father, so just relax!"

"Huh! Xiaojiu, just understand. Just understand."

Zhou Xuanlin looked at Zhou Yang carefully, and after seeing that the smile on his face did not look fake, he breathed a sigh of relief and let go of his worries.

Next, Zhou Yang and Zhou Xuanlin had a long conversation that lasted for most of the day. Zhou Xuanlin mainly introduced him to the operation of "Yuquan Tower", as well as the Zhou family's personal connections in Fangshi, and also encountered emergencies.

How to quickly contact the family.

Basically, the shopkeeper of "Yuquan Tower" is the spokesperson of the Zhou family in "Jinshafang City" and is responsible for handling all family affairs of the Zhou family in "Jinshafang City".

Before Zhou Yang, the shopkeeper of "Yuquan Tower" had to be at least an elder of the Zhou family to be qualified to serve.

Before Zhou Xuanlin became the elder of the Zhou family, he had already stayed in "Yuquan Tower" for more than ten years, but the person in charge here had always been Zhou Xuanhao, the elder of the Zhou family.

After completing the handover of "Yuquan Tower" with his seventh uncle Zhou Xuanlin, Zhou Yang went to "Zuixian Tower" next.

"Zui Xian Lou" was previously in charge of his mother Lin Yuting. After his mother accompanied his father back to the family, Luo Meiwei, the wife of his seventh uncle Zhou Xuanlin, took over as the shopkeeper. In addition, there were Zhou Yuanchun, Zhou Yuanxia and Zhou Yuanzhen, monks of the "Yuan" generation of the Zhou family.

Three female monks served as maids and cooks.

Among them, Zhou Yuanchun ranks sixth among his peers. Among the three children born to Zhou Yang's adoptive mother Zhou Xuanyu, he is the only monk with spiritual roots. He is also the apprentice of his mother Lin Yuting, and he has inherited his mother's unique profession of winemaker.

Zhou Yuanxia and Zhou Yuanzhen are ranked seventh and twelfth among their peers. Their ancestors have been secular mortals of the Zhou family for several generations. Their spiritual root qualifications are the same as Zhou Yuanchun's. If there are no accidents, their paths will stop in the future.

Qi training period.

Zhou Yangsheng was handsome, had an extraordinary background, and his cultivation far exceeded his peers. When he appeared in the "Drunken Immortal Tower", Zhou Yuanchun and three other female monks from the Zhou family all had their beautiful eyes lit up.

My sister loves to be pretty, even those who are cultivating immortals are not exempt from the vulgarity.

Zhou Yang is not only handsome, but he is also a second-level high-grade weapon refiner. He is young and rich, and is simply the most ideal Taoist partner for female immortal cultivators. Zhou Yuanchun and the others are naturally among them.

"Hehehe, Xiaojiu, do you think I should continue to call you Jiu Di? Or should I call you Yang Di?"

Zhou Yuanchun is the eldest among the three female immortal cultivators. His mother is Zhou Yang's adoptive mother, and the patriarch Zhou Minghan, his direct great-grandfather, supports him behind his back. However, he is one of the very few monks of the "Yuan" generation in the Zhou family.

She didn't care much about Zhou Yang's change in identity, so after the initial surprise, she immediately teased Zhou Yang with a smile.

"Sister Yuanchun, please stop teasing me. I still like my sister to call me Xiaojiu."

Zhou Yang had an embarrassed smile on his face, quite speechless at the sixth sister's teasing.

"Brother Yang" is such a weird name, he doesn't want to be called that!

After saying that, he smiled at Zhou Yuanxia and Zhou Yuanzhen, who were looking at him eagerly: "Hello, Seventh Sister, and Twelfth Sister. We haven't seen each other for many years. These sisters have become more and more beautiful. I have long heard from my mother that there are several sisters in the city now."

The suitors of these sisters have all lined up from Zuixian Tower to Yuquan Tower. I didn’t believe it before, but now that I have seen several fairy sisters with my own eyes, I know that what my mother said is true."

A woman likes her appearance. When the three girls of the Zhou family heard what Zhou Yang said, they immediately beamed with joy.

Zhou Yuanzhen was closest in age to Zhou Yang and was the youngest present. At this moment, he also said coquettishly: "Brother Ninth, you are talking nonsense. Auntie would not say that. How can I have any suitors? Those people are all

It's none of my business to come after Sister Yuanchun and Sister Yuanxia."

When the two of them started talking, Zhou Yuanxia, ​​who was originally a little shy and reserved, relaxed and couldn't help but interjected and joked: "You twelve sisters, your ability to tell lies with your eyes open has been getting better recently, you say

It's none of your business, but what's going on with that uncle of the Liu family? Why does he come to Zuixian Tower several times a month, and you always accompany him?"

"Humph, Seventh Sister, you still have the nerve to tell me that drinking and chatting with the guests, and letting the guests feel the warmth of home in Zuixian Tower, isn't that what you taught me? How pure I was when I first came here, it's all

You are bringing people down!"

Zhou Yuanzhen snorted in embarrassment and became a little angry at Zhou Yuanxia's joke.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Yuanchun on the side smiled narrowly, looked at the embarrassed person with a smile on his face and laughed: "Hahaha, Twelve Sister, you are the wrong person. As far as my sister knows, you

These words, including the water-sleeved skirt you are wearing now, are all the work of Ninth Brother, and even the spirit stones we received as a commission were only thanks to Ninth Brother’s suggestion that the family made an exception and agreed!"

Zhou Yang looked embarrassed and felt a little ashamed for a moment. He didn't dare to look at the two sisters Zhou Yuanxia and Zhou Yuanzhen who were full of surprise and embarrassment.

When he heard his mother, Lin Yuting, complaining about the poor business of the restaurant, he came up with this crooked trick after asking about the situation. Lin Yuting, out of trust in his precious son, asked Zhou Yuanchun to try it, and found that the effect was real.

very good.

So later, all the members of the Zhou family's "Zui Xian Lou" were replaced by women. The young, beautiful and pure-looking Zhou Yuanzhen was transferred here as soon as he turned twenty, and soon became the "master of the restaurant"

Gold Medal Waiter".
