With Xu Song's level as a fifth-level formation mage, it would be easy to set up an illusion formation that would test the Qi-training monks.
The Zhou family itself has a "Yunyu" mine, and the "Yunyu" produced is the necessary material for setting up the magic array. There is no shortage of materials for setting up the magic array.
As for Zhou Guangyin, the female cultivator of the Zhou family who fell in love with Zhou Tongming, after the family meeting, Zhou Guangtai, the foundation-building cultivator of the Zhou family, personally rode the griffin beast to Haoyang Mountain's spiritual veins to bring her back.
From Zhou Yang's point of view, this Zhou Guangyin was just average-looking. His appearance was not only comparable to the stunning beauties he had seen, such as Jiang Fengxian and Yun Yiyi, but also compared to his Taoist companion Xiao Ying.
More than inferior.
Even among the female cultivators of the Zhou family who were in the Zhou family's meeting hall that day, there were many whose looks were at the same level as them.
Therefore, Zhou Yang also didn't understand why Zhou Tongming was willing to risk his life so much for this woman.
"Maybe this is love!"
He looked at the young couple hugging each other, crying and laughing after reuniting after several years, and thought slightly absent-mindedly.
At this moment, he actually envied the young couple.
He knew about his family affairs from his own family. Although he and Xiao Ying had been Taoist couples for decades, the relationship between them had always been tepid. They were not as loving as the young couple Zhou Tongming and Zhou Guangyin.
The possibility of life and death.
Zhou Yang remembered that he had heard a saying in his previous life that love would eventually evolve into family affection.
Two people who love each other can grow old together, not because their love can last that long, but because after being together for too long, the two people have regarded each other as their closest relatives and do not want to separate, just because they do not want to let go.
This is just a family relationship.
Zhou Yang feels that the relationship between himself and Taoist companion Xiao Ying is gradually developing in this direction as time goes by.
"Maybe it's because we've never really practiced dual cultivation!"
His eyes sparkled, and he found a reason to comfort himself.
Xu Song was responsible for setting up and building the test magic array, but the person who controlled the array was Zhou Guangxiang, the head of the Zhou family.
On the day of the test, many members of the Zhou family who were still on Chihu Mountain took the initiative to come over and watch. The coming of these people put great pressure on Zhou Tongming and Zhou Guangyin.
It is conceivable that if they fail to pass the test in full public view, they may not be able to see anyone in public for the rest of their lives.
"Yin Gu, let's go in. Our love is stronger than gold. No matter what kind of illusion or danger, we can't be separated!"
Zhou Tongming tightly held the palm of his beloved woman's hand, glanced at his fellow tribesmen who looked like they were watching the show, and pulled Zhou Guangyin into the formation with a firm look.
Look at Zhou Guangyin again. As a woman, although she has a natural sense of shyness in such a public place, she does not show any signs of timidity. She just looks closely at the man holding her hand with a look of amazement.
His eyes were full of happiness and love that could not be concealed.
"I hope you can really succeed!"
Zhou Yang, who was watching this scene from a distance, whispered his blessing.
Among the entire Zhou family, he is probably the only one who is neutral or even agrees with the relationship between aunt and nephew.
The fantasy test began soon.
According to Xu Song's arrangement, the young lovers who enter the fantasy array to accept the test will face various fantasy tests such as mountains of swords and seas of fire, hundreds of years of solitude, lingering love, being pointed by thousands of husbands, and enemies in the world.
In these illusory tests, if two young lovers who have only cultivated in the Qi training period want to pass the test, they can only do so by sticking to their affection for each other.
For example, in a sea of knives and fire, a young couple will be placed in a sea of fire and faced with the choice of who will survive first. Only by choosing each other can they pass.
In One Hundred Years of Solitude, young lovers will face the situation of being separated for hundreds of years in different places. They need to stick to an agreement for hundreds of years, still remember the agreement and still love each other.
In a world where everyone is the enemy, the love between two young lovers, an aunt and a nephew, is not tolerated by the world. They will be pointed out and ridiculed by people wherever they go. In this environment, the two of them still have to stay together without any regrets.
Go down.
These creative ideas that tested the fantasy world were all thought up by Zhou Yang, and then Xu Song realized his ideas in the fantasy world.
However, in order to protect the privacy of those who underwent the test, Zhou Tongming and Zhou Guangyin, who entered the phantom array to accept the test, automatically disappeared in the eyes of those watching the Zhou family. Only those with cultivation level above the foundation building stage can clearly see the two people inside the phantom array.
The person's expression changes and the voices uttered by the two people are heard.
In Zhou Yang's eyes, he could see the two young lovers, after encountering various illusions, sometimes looking frightened and yelling in anger, sometimes crying and yelling, sometimes singing softly with flushed faces, and sometimes looking gloomy.
He bit his lips tightly, his face full of resentment and grievance... all kinds of expressions were revealed.
In this way, when the scheduled test time of two hours was over, Zhou Tongming and Zhou Guangyin in the magic array actually relied on their deep love for each other to support them until the end!
"Priceless treasures are easy to come by, but lovers are rare to find!"
"The two of you can still remember each other and stick to your love for each other even after facing many dangers in the illusion. This is evident from God's will and from man. I can't find any reason to separate you two!"
Outside the magic array, Zhou Yang looked at the young couple who had just gone through many tests and successfully joined hands, and sighed with emotion on his face.
Then he looked solemn and turned to look at the Zhou clan members watching the excitement outside the venue and shouted loudly: "Now, as the supreme elder of the Zhou family, I declare that I recognize and consummate the love affair between Zhou Tongming and Zhou Guangyin.
Anyone who is a member of my Zhou family, a relative of the Zhou family, or a guest minister, and anyone who dares to attack the two of them with this matter will be punished according to the clan rules for slandering the same clan!"
"Yes, we will obey the orders of the Supreme Elder!"
As the clan leader, Zhou Guangxiang was the first to kneel down on one knee and loudly responded to Zhou Yang's order.
When the rest of the Zhou family saw this scene, they didn't dare to hesitate any more. They immediately knelt down and some even knelt down on both knees. They all shouted in response: "I will obey the order of the Supreme Elder."
After hearing the words of these people, Zhou Tongming and Zhou Tongming, who were hugging each other tightly in the illusion formation, just came back to their senses.
Then Zhou Tongming immediately faced Zhou Yang and knelt on the ground, kowtowed heavily and thanked loudly: "Thank you, the Supreme Elder, for your help, and thank you for your help, the patriarch. Zhou Tongming will never forget the great kindness of these two elders. In the future, there will be no one in the clan."
Order, Zhou Tongming will not give up even if he dies!"
"Let me tell you something, if our love lasts for a long time, how can we stay together day and night?"
"If you really want to be together forever, you should practice hard in the future and put all your energy into practice. If you can build a foundation, won't two hundred years of life be enough for you and me?"
Zhou Yang looked at the two juniors, left some words of instruction, turned around and left.
As a monk in the Zifu stage, he actually does not need to pay so much attention to the affairs of the two Qi-training stage monks. The reason why he pays attention to this matter this time is because he wants to set a benchmark for similar matters in the future.
Following the examples of Zhou Tongming and Zhou Guangyin, if something similar happens to the Zhou family again in the future, they will have to go to the illusion array first.
This time Zhou Tongming and Zhou Guangyin were able to successfully pass the test, which is because their love is truly as indestructible as gold.
Zhou Yang didn't believe that every couple in love could stick to the fantasy formation until the end.
Returning to the Qianyang Cave where he practiced, Zhou Yang began to prepare for another thing, which was to design a set of exclusive magical equipment for the monks in the family war hall.
An exclusive set of standard magical equipment can not only greatly improve the combat effectiveness of a cultivator, but also greatly enhance the sense of honor of the cultivator who uses this set of equipment, making other Zhou family cultivators want to join the battle hall and let the outside world When the other monks saw the monks from the Zhou Family War Hall appearing, they naturally stood in awe and took the initiative to avoid them.
Of course, for Zhou Yang, designing such an exclusive set of magical equipment has a more important meaning, which is to prepare for the future attack on the fifth-level weapon refiner.
Although the fourth-level weapon refiner is also called the weapon refiner master, the gap between him and the fifth-level weapon refiner is like the gap between the Zifu stage monks and the Jindan stage monks, or even bigger.
A true master of weapon refining must be creative and create a unique magic weapon that is different from ordinary magic weapons, that is, a self-made magic weapon.
Zhou Yang once tried to create his own magic weapon not long after he first established the foundation, but it undoubtedly failed.
Looking back now, he realizes how ridiculous it was for him to want to create his own magic weapon.
For a weapon refiner who is not even a third-level weapon refiner to create his own magic weapon, the difficulty is simply greater than for a monk at the Golden Core stage to conceive a baby. It is only natural that he fails.
But now, he is already a fourth-level mid-level weapon refiner, and with the guidance of Xu Song, a true fifth-level weapon refiner, he can completely try to create his own magic weapon again.
And this time he created his own magic weapon. He could no longer aim at creating a simple first-level magic weapon like the "Flame Sword", but wanted to create a second-level high-quality magic weapon that could truly be used in the martial arts battles of immortal cultivators during the Qi training period. .
After some discussions with Xu Song, Zhou Yang decided to designate his first self-created magic weapon as a second-level high-grade defensive magic weapon, a shield.
The complete set of equipment he designed for the monks of the Zhou Family Battle Hall consists of five pieces of magical equipment including flying swords, shields, inner armor, iron armor, puppet beasts, and at least ten second-level high-grade spiritual talismans with different functions.
A seventh-level qi-training monk equipped with these five pieces of equipment and spiritual talismans can easily kill a second-level high-grade monster or an ordinary ninth-level qi-training casual cultivator.
This is only the combat power of a single monk. Zhou Yang expected that the monks of the Zhou Family Battle Hall would be equipped with a second-level high-grade formation in the future. In this way, as long as nine late-stage Qi-training monks deployed a second-level high-grade formation, even ordinary ones could be defeated in a short time. In the early stages of foundation building, the monks found it difficult to defeat them.
