Zhou Guangtai, a middle-grade spiritual root qualification, a second-grade high-grade Talisman Maker, the former security elder among the seven deacons and elders of the Zhou family, was born in "Fengyue Tower", at the age of seventy-four, he took the Foundation Establishment Pill and went into seclusion to build the foundation, and succeeded in one fell swoop
, is eighty-one years old this year and has established a level of cultivation.
Zhou Guangqing, with middle-grade spiritual root qualifications, is the son of the late monk Zhou Yuanchang of the Zhou family. He took the Foundation Building Pill and successfully built the foundation at the age of fifty-seven. He is now sixty-four years old and has built a first-level cultivation base.
…
After Zhou Yang returned to the ancestral home of the Chihu Mountain family, he immediately asked about the situation of the family's two newly promoted foundation-building monks.
Zhou Guangxiang is also a smart man. As soon as Zhou Yang asked this question, he vaguely guessed Zhou Yang's thoughts, so he quickly recounted some of the important changes that had taken place in the Zhou family in the years since Zhou Yang left.
It turned out that the four Foundation Establishment Pills that Zhou Yang left for him before leaving had been exchanged for them by the Zhou family members one after another over the years.
However, after the four Foundation Building Pills were exchanged, only Zhou Guangtai and Zhou Guangqing succeeded in building the Foundation.
Leaving aside Zhou Guangqing, who inherited the inheritance from his ancestors, there is still a story to tell about Zhou Guangtai, a monk from "Feng Yue Tower" who was able to collect 20,000 contribution points to exchange for the Foundation Building Pill.
It turns out that since Zhou Guangtai took up the post of the Zhou family security elder, in order to prove that he is qualified for this position and not to be squeezed out by other clan members, he has been working very hard and conscientiously.
As for the Chihu Mountain Oasis, the news that the Zhou family was able to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill spread, attracting many casual cultivators to come here to make a living.
A large number of casual cultivators came to the Chihu Mountain Oasis to make a living, which stimulated the economic development of the Chihu Mountain Oasis and also made the security on the oasis become chaotic. Zhou Guangtai, the security elder of the Zhou family, was under great pressure for this.
In order to keep his position as a security elder, and because he could not advance further after reaching the ninth level of Qi training, he spent most of his time patrolling the oasis to maintain law and order every day.
And such dedicated work also brought him huge rewards.
While patrolling the oasis, Zhou Guangtai discovered that three qi-training monks were chasing another qi-training monk. He went up to stop this behavior.
Unexpectedly, before he could reach the battlefield, the fleeing monk died at the hands of the chasing monks.
At that time, Zhou Guangtai was just angry that the murderer ignored his existence and wanted to catch him and punish him.
However, after he led his men to kill two people, arrest one person and clean up the battlefield, he discovered something extraordinary in the storage bag of the fugitive monk.
It turned out that in the storage bag of the fleeing monk, there was actually an advanced martial art "Yi Qi Qian Yuan Gong" and a token magic weapon inlaid with a fifth-level spiritual object "Xuan Jing Shi".
After Zhou Guangtai obtained these two treasures, he immediately returned to his family and handed them over to the patriarch Zhou Guangxiang.
After Zhou Guangxiang verified the authenticity of the advanced martial arts book, he rewarded Zhou Guangtai with 20,000 family contribution points in accordance with the rules, and then exchanged an additional 15,000 family contribution points for the token magic weapon.
Originally, high-level skills and token magic weapons that were at least fifth-level spiritual objects were of course more than just exchangeable for a few contribution points.
However, these two treasures were not obtained by Zhou Guangtai when he went out to hunt for treasures, but were obtained while performing official duties. According to the clan rules, the treasures obtained in this way belong to the family itself.
Moreover, it is impossible for a family or sect to acquire the techniques and high-level spiritual objects contributed by family monks at market prices.
The reason for this is not complicated. To put it bluntly, it is the word "safety".
During the Qi training period, monks contribute high-level skills and treasures to their families and sects. Although the rewards they receive are far less than what they receive from selling them to outsiders, they can guarantee their safety and prevent them from being harmed by others.
And if you sell it to the outside world, there is a 99% chance that you will make money but not spend it.
Therefore, in most cases, after low-level monks from sects and families obtain treasures, they will choose to hand them over to their sects and families in exchange for what they urgently need, rather than risking their lives to sell them.
Zhou Guangtai got 35,000 family contribution points out of thin air, so he was naturally overjoyed and immediately exchanged it for a Foundation Establishment Pill to retreat and attack.
At that time, he was already in his seventies and had married a wife and had children. It stands to reason that the success rate of foundation building would not exceed 50%.
But even so, he still won the bet and successfully built a foundation to become a foundation-building monk.
This is the foundation building process of Zhou Guangtai.
Zhou Guangqing was able to successfully build the foundation. Firstly, he inherited seven or eight thousand family contribution points from his father. Secondly, he was also very lucky. While traveling and wandering, he discovered a medium-sized third-level mineral vein "gold obsidian".
The buyout dividends from this mine gave the family a reward of 12,000 family contribution points in one fell swoop.
The so-called buyout dividend, as the name suggests, means that the family will directly buy out the 10% share dividend of the monk who discovered the spiritual mine in one go. This is also a new family rule formulated by Zhou Yang to take advantage of the situation after reforming the family several times.
It was by relying on this buyout dividend and the family contribution points inherited from his ancestors that Zhou Guangqing exchanged a Foundation Establishment Pill to successfully build the foundation.
In addition to Zhou Guangtai and Zhou Guangqing, the Zhou family also had two other qi-training monks, Zhou Guangyi and Zhou Guangwen, who exchanged two Foundation-Building Pills over the years. Unfortunately, the latter two failed to build the Foundation in the end.
The failure of Zhou Guangyi and Zhou Guangwen not only meant that all the family contribution points they had accumulated since their grandfathers were wasted, but they also owed debts to many clan members.
If they and their descendants don't have any adventures in the future, they shouldn't think about redeeming the Foundation Establishment Pill again within two or three generations.
This is reality, cruel reality!
Those who succeed are admired by thousands of people and live longer for hundreds of years, while those who fail are remembered by no one and bring disaster to their descendants.
"...The basic situation is this. Uncle Jiu, look, this is the "Yi Qi Qian Yuan Gong" and the token magic weapon."
On Chihu Mountain, in the Qianyang Cave, Zhou Guangxiang and Zhou Yang were alone in a room. After reporting the situation, they reached out and patted the storage bag, took out a jade slip and a silver-white token and handed it to Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang didn't show any politeness to his nephew. He directly reached out and took the two treasures. He wasn't too busy studying them. He just looked at Zhou Guangxiang and said, "I'm going to hold a family meeting in a month. Guangxiang, please pass on the news."
, let each deacon and elder prepare all the materials that should be prepared. I don’t want to see anyone making any stupid mistakes at the family meeting!"
"My nephew understands. I will not let you down, Uncle Jiu."
Zhou Guangxiang bowed solemnly and then left to attend to his duties.
After he left, Zhou Yang began to study the two treasures in his hand.
The first is the "One Qi Qianyuan Gong". This technique is a rare advanced technique that can be practiced to the Nascent Soul stage. It can also be practiced by all monks who have the spiritual roots of the five elements. It can be used as a
The fundamental skills of a sect or family.
This kind of advanced technique, which is suitable for the practice of monks with various spiritual roots, is many times more valuable than the "Qinghua Sutra", which is only suitable for the practice of monks with wood attribute spiritual roots. If it is sold at the auction house , the price is at least one million spirit stones.
However, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Although "Yi Qi Qian Yuan Gong" can be practiced as long as it has the spiritual roots of the five elements, it is not as powerful as those advanced exercises that are only suitable for monks with a single attribute spiritual root.
Therefore, this kind of technique is actually only suitable for those forces who are not very rich in background and cannot collect a variety of advanced techniques with different attributes.
Apart from the "Qian Yang Immortal Sutra" practiced by Zhou Yang himself, the Zhou family had only two advanced techniques before, namely, the "Qinghua Duer Sutra" practiced by Xiao Ying, and the "Golden Light Master" that Zhou Yang originally practiced. "The Secret of Golden Light" found in the storage ring.
Among them, the "Qing Hua Du Er Sutra" is not owned by the Zhou family, because Zhou Yang, who signed the "Netherworld Blood Contract", did not dare to let Xiao Ying teach this skill to other monks of the Zhou family.
Therefore, the only advanced technique that the Zhou family monks could choose before was the "Jin Guang Yao Shi Jue" which was suitable for the practice of metal monks.
Xu Song, the ghost servant Zhou Yang subdued, practiced an advanced fire-attributed skill called "Lihuo Zhenjing" during his lifetime. Unfortunately, he also bought this skill from another store and signed a "blood contract of the underworld" not to be passed on to anyone else.
This "Netherworld Blood Contract" directly affects the soul and soul. Even if Xu Song transforms into a ghost cultivator, he cannot violate the blood contract.
Now the emergence of "One Qi Qianyuan Gong" has completely solved the problem of the Zhou family's foundation-building monks not having suitable exercises to practice. Zhou Guangtai and Zhou Guangqing, who later founded the foundation, both chose to practice this method.
On the contrary, the brother and sister Zhou Guangxiang and Zhou Guangxiang, because they have been building the foundation for a long time, cannot switch to the practice of Kung Fu. They can only wait until they are destined to form elixirs in the future before considering switching to Kung Fu.
"There is nothing wrong with the technique. It is indeed a complete set of advanced techniques. However, this token magic weapon is a little difficult for me to understand. There is [Golden Script] on it, which means it is at least a sixth-level treasure. But How can a sixth-level treasure not leak a breath? It seems that we can only ask Xu Song to come out and ask him to identify it!"
In the cave, Zhou Yang held the silver token inlaid with the fifth-level spiritual object "Xuan Jingshi" in his hand. After studying it for half a day, he still couldn't find anything. In the end, he had to put down the object and called out the magic token in his hand. Xu Song sleeping in "Yun Shen Pai".
"I'm disturbing Senior Xu's practice. There is a treasure here that I would like to ask Senior to take a look at and see what it is!"
Xu Song came out of the "Yunshen Tablet". Before he could see the situation clearly, he heard Zhou Yang tell him the reason for calling him out.
He turned his eyes and looked at the silver token handed over by Zhou Yang, and then his grimace made of Yin energy suddenly changed drastically.
"[Kunxu Order]!"
An exclamation came from Xu Song's mouth. He seemed to know the silver token in Zhou Yang's hand very well, and he said the name of the silver token in one breath.
"Oh, Senior Xu knows the origin of this treasure? Can you tell Zhou about its function?"
Zhou Yang's eyes flashed with surprise, and he looked at Xu Song curiously and asked for details.
Xu Song, an old ghost, was well-informed and could make him show such a shocking look. Zhou Yang knew by his senses that the silver token named "Kunxu Order" in his hand was probably of great origin.
