Chapter three hundred and sixty six: ready to fight
Zhou Yuanchen arrived at Chihu Mountain on the fifth day after Zhou Yang returned.
Since Zhou Yang became famous in the first battle, he, a Huangshamen monk from the Zhou family, has become the go-between between the two parties. He has been the go-between to complete some matters that were inconvenient for Zhang Yunpeng and Zhou Yang to discuss directly.
Thanks to this special status, he did not earn benefits from both sides these years. Seventeen years later, his cultivation finally reached the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, becoming a late-stage Foundation Establishment monk.
However, this is what he has done in this life, and there is little hope of opening up the Zi Mansion. At most, he will be like Zhou Minghan, the old patriarch of the Zhou family, who was promoted to the ninth level of foundation building when he was more than two hundred years old, and then sadly waited for the end to come.
Zhou Yuanchen was also aware of his own family affairs, and did not force himself on this matter. Instead, he focused most of his energy on cultivating his son Zhou Guangde.
Although his son Zhou Guangde only has a middle-grade spiritual root qualification, with his care and the fact that the Zhou family has changed from what it used to be, foundation building will hardly be a problem in the future.
Zhou Yuanchen's deepest thought is that he hopes that with his support and care, his son can successfully build the foundation at the age of thirty or forty like Zhou Yang did, so that the possibility of attacking the Zi Mansion in the future will be greater than that of his father.
Much bigger.
This time Zhou Yuanchen came with Zhang Yunpeng's instructions, and his mood was actually very complicated.
Zhang Yunpeng sent him over, and naturally he explained to him that he had entrusted Zhou Yang to purchase the "Purple Heart Chalcedony".
He also implicitly promised him that if he could bring back the "Purple Heart Chalcedony", he would be rewarded with a large amount of sect merit points.
On one side is the family that gave birth to him, and on the other side is the sect that he has been in for most of his life. Zhou Yuanchen doesn't know how to choose.
"I am disappointed with Master Zhang. Although I exchanged a lot of treasures when I went out this time, the [Purple Heart Chalcedony] that Master Zhang commissioned to buy has never been seen at auctions or exchange meetings. These spiritual stones are
Brother Yuan Chen, please help me return it to Head Zhang."
On Chihu Mountain, Zhou Yang received the visiting Zhou Yuanchen. After learning his purpose, he directly shook his head and denied that he had the "Purple Heart Chalcedony".
He did get a copy of "Purple Heart Chalcedony" from Zhong Chuming's storage ring, but he paid for it with his life.
How could Zhou Yang sell the treasure he had sacrificed his life for for 200,000 spirit stones.
Especially since he is now wanted by the Beast Control Sect, he may not dare to easily enter the world of immortal cultivation in Liuyun Continent for decades to hundreds of years.
Then the role of the "Purple Heart Chalcedony" in his hand becomes extremely valuable.
Zhou Guangxiang's cultivation has reached the seventh level of foundation building. In another twenty years at most, he will be able to try to open up the Purple Mansion.
The "Purple Heart Chalcedony" in Zhou Yang's hands is, of course, used to train the Zhou family's own Zifu monks.
It seems that he did not expect Zhou Yang to deny it so straightforwardly. While Zhou Yuanchen was disappointed, he was also slightly relieved.
He reached out and took the storage bag containing the spirit stones handed over by Zhou Yang, and said: "Of course I trust my ninth brother. When I go back, I will truthfully explain the matter to the leader, and I believe the leader will understand.
"
"I also want Brother Yuan Chen to help me bring a few words to Head Zhang, saying that in five years' time, I will invite them and his wife to come to our Chihu Mountain Oasis. At that time, Zhou will have important matters to discuss with them."
Zhou Yang nodded slightly and asked Zhou Yuanchen to bring a message to Zhang Yunpeng and Jiang Yuyan, inviting them to come and meet him.
This time he returned to the boundless sand sea to cultivate immortality because he wanted to have a big fight.
And if you want to make a big splash in the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea, Huangshamen is a hurdle that cannot be avoided no matter what.
As a result, Zhou Yuanchen only stayed at Chihu Mountain for two days, accompanied his son Zhou Guangde who was practicing on the mountain, and then hurried back to Huangshamen to pay a visit to Zhang Yunpeng.
In the next half month, Zhou Yang didn't go anywhere. He just listened to his father Zhou Xuanhao nagging about what happened over the years on the Chihu Mountain Oasis.
This work should have been completed by Zhou Guangxiang and others, but Zhou Xuanhao, who had become nagging as he grew older, took the initiative to take over the work, and Zhou Yang was naturally more willing to listen to his father and himself.
"Our Zhou family is in great trouble now. When the monks in the family go out, they all have to look at everyone. Even the children of the Chen family and the Nie family, who are both members of the Zifu family, have to take the initiative to salute and say hello to our children.
."
"Huang Shamen has also done a lot in recent years. He has captured and destroyed many families that had rebelled, but he has accumulated a lot of wealth. Moreover, after Yang Xiong, there is a new Zifu monk in the sect."
"And do you still remember the Lu family on Red Fox Ridge? This Lu family is really lucky. The boy of the Lu family back then, and now the head of the Lu family, is over ninety years old, and the old tree is still sprouting and giving birth.
With a daughter who possesses a high-grade ice spiritual root, the Lu family will probably become more prosperous in the future!"
…
After all, Zhou Xuanhao is old, and the information that comes out of his mouth is sometimes a hammer or a hammer, and is not very systematic. Zhou Yang needs to think about and organize the information he has obtained.
While he was thinking about and sorting out the information he had obtained, he looked at his father Zhou Xuanhao and asked: "Dad, have you still not heard from Yaoer's sister and godmother in these years?"
Zhou Xuanyu and Zhou Yuanyao, mother and daughter, left the Zhou family to travel, but they disappeared for decades without any trace, and no news came from them. Zhou Yang has always been concerned about this matter.
"No, our children of the Zhou family who have been traveling abroad have never given up looking for Yao'er in these years. Guangxiang has also spread Yao'er's portrait and related information to various large oases, and has offered a large reward for Yao'er's whereabouts, but so far,
Got nothing!"
"If it hadn't been for the fact that the soul card left by Third Sister in the family was still intact, we would all have doubted whether their mother and daughter would have been killed long ago!"
Zhou Xuanhao's face darkened and he spoke the result in a low voice.
Finding the missing Zhou Xuanyu and Zhou Yuanyao was the last wish of Zhou Minghan, the old patriarch of the Zhou family. Zhou Yang and his son, who were deeply favored by the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, had always wanted to fulfill this last wish.
However, decades later, there was no progress at all on this matter, and both father and son felt a little depressed.
"Dad, don't worry. Once I finish my family affairs, I will personally go to all the oases to find their mother and daughter. I don't believe it. I have searched hundreds of oases in this boundless sand sea and the immortal world, but I still can't find them.
Traces of their mother and daughter!”
Zhou Yang gritted his teeth and resolutely expressed his decision.
He is already a cultivator in the Zifu period, and he can definitely lead the descendants of the seventh sister Zhou Yuanchun to find Zhou Yuanyao and her daughter who have similar blood by casting the "Heaven-moving and Earth-moving Relative Searching Spell".
However, when Zhou Xuanhao heard what he said, he shook his head repeatedly and said: "No, this will delay your practice. Even if the old patriarch is still alive, he will definitely not want you to do this."
"It doesn't matter, it won't take a few years. Compared to fulfilling the old patriarch's last wish, the child can still afford it in just a few years." Zhou Yang smiled and said nonchalantly.
Regarding Xu Song's existence, he did not want to tell his father Zhou Xuanhao to avoid worrying him.
With the existence of Xu Song, a serious golden elixir-level ghost cultivator, it is actually not difficult to find someone.
At the same time, he was also very curious about the reasons and circumstances that caused mother and daughter Zhou Xuanyu and sister Zhou Yuanyao to have no contact with the family for decades.
When Zhou Xuanhao heard what he said, he opened his mouth, but the words of advice were not uttered in the end.
One month passed quickly.
After a month of preparations, the Zhou family's family meeting was held as scheduled in the meeting hall on Chihu Mountain.
In the meeting hall, Zhou Yang, who was sitting high at the head, glanced around and saw that the originally empty meeting hall was now filled with no less than 300 people.
He had some impression of most of those people, but there were also many young faces that he didn't recognize.
He knew that those young faces he didn't recognize were the new generation of Zhou family members who were born and raised in the past few years.
Then he looked at the front row. In addition to Zhou Xuanhao and other foundation-building monks, the seven Zhou family deacons and elders had also changed several times.
Today, the seven deacons and elders are Zhou Yuanfang, the elder who teaches the merits, Zhou Guangheng, the internal affairs elder, Zhou Guangxin, the general affairs elder, Zhou Guangyun, the finance elder, Zhou Guangkun, the law enforcement elder, Zhou Guangzhong, the security elder, and Luo Qiang, the external affairs elder.
Among them, although Zhou Yuanfang, like Zhou Yang, belongs to the "Yuan" generation, her actual age is younger than Zhou Guangxiang, a monk of the "Guang" generation. The late Zhou Xuanzhao, a monk of the "Xuan" generation of the Zhou family, was in his nineties.
The offspring born at an advanced age have just turned 100 this year.
Nowadays, apart from Zhou Yang and Zhou Yuanchen, there are seven or eight monks of the "Yuan" generation in the Zhou family who are in the same situation as her.
"Sister Shiba, as the elder who teaches the skills, it's up to you to start!"
Looking away from everyone in the hall, Zhou Yang slightly nodded to Zhou Yuanfang below, smiling and letting him speak first.
Hearing his words, Zhou Yuanfang, who was already full of silver hair, quickly stood up and bowed to him, and then said loudly: "The Supreme Elder Mingjian, my Zhou family now has a population of 312 monks, including 1 member of the Xuan generation.
There are 10 people in the Yuan generation, 184 in the Guang generation, and 117 in the Tong generation."
"Among these monks, there is 1 monk in the Zifu stage, 5 monks in the foundation stage, 32 monks in the ninth level of Qi training, 75 monks in the late stage of Qi training, 94 monks in the middle stage of Qi training, 63 monks in the early stage of Qi training, and the remaining 42
Everyone is a child in the innate state and an unenlightened infant."
"In addition, my Zhou family currently has 146 monks, including 37 male relatives and 119 female monks. Among these monks, there is 1 monk in the Zifu period, 8 monks in the ninth level of Qi training, and monks in the late stage of Qi training.
52 people, 40 monks in the middle stage of Qi training, and 45 monks in the early stage of Qi training."
"Finally, there is the number of secular mortals. The number of secular mortals with the blood of my Zhou family now should be around 870,000, and the number of other mortals with other surnames should be 280,000. Seventy percent of these mortals live in the Chihu Mountain Oasis, and the rest
Thirty percent is distributed in the remaining oases of my Zhou family."
