However, it was said that after Zhou Yang left Huangshamen, he did not return directly to the Zhou family, but returned to the Yinpuppet Sect site.
When he released Xu Song here, he also gave Xu Song the beast soul, belly skin, demon bones, and the souls of the fourth-level monsters he had killed over the years.
"The junior has no way to solve the senior's cultivation problem for the time being, but the junior also understands the senior's desire to improve his cultivation strength. These beast souls and these materials will be given to the senior to refine a demon soul flag!"
Ghost cultivators are good at controlling ghosts and exorcising ghosts. Their favorite and most used magic weapons are ghost flags and ghost flags made from human souls and animal souls.
"Genshan Turtle" is a fifth-level low-grade monster. Even though its beast soul cannot keep up with the soul of human Jindan stage monks, it is still much stronger than the soul of Zifu stage monks.
With Xu Song's skill in refining weapons, as long as the materials given to him by Zhou Yang are refined well, he may not be able to refine a fifth-level magic weapon.
This can be regarded as Zhou Yang's compensation for his inability to practice.
"It's rare for you to be so generous, I won't be polite."
Xu Song glanced at Zhou Yang with his ghostly eyes, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and he waved his sleeves and put away all the things without any courtesy.
At the end, he did not forget to say to Zhou Yang: "By the way, your corpse bead is of no use anyway, why not give it to me to cultivate that demon corpse."
When Zhou Yang heard what he said, his eyelids suddenly twitched, and then he looked up at him and looked at him for a while, then nodded and said: "Since the senior has spoken, how can the junior not part with this mere dead thing.
"
After saying that, he handed Xu Song the "Corpse Bead" that he had obtained by killing the fourth-level demon corpse in the "Demon Sealing Cave".
Xu Song had been coveting this "corpse bead" for a long time, and now that he finally got it in his hands, he was overjoyed.
He held the fist-sized dark green corpse bead and played with it for a few times, then turned his palm to put it away, then waved his hand and threw out a jade slip, which landed in front of Zhou Yang.
"I'm not taking your things for nothing. This jade slip contains my detailed annotations on ten third-level formations. As long as your junior is not hopelessly stupid, after reading these annotations, he will be promoted to third level.
A high-grade array mage should have no problem!"
Although it has been sixty or seventy years since Zhou Guangxiang successfully established his foundation, his formation level is still stuck at the third-level low-grade level. This is not because his formation talent is too poor, but because he has no one to teach him, so he can only explore on his own.
Moreover, the formation is so extensive and profound that it would take a long time to experiment and study before you can gain anything.
In recent decades, Zhou Guangxiang has been handling clan affairs on behalf of Zhou Yang, so it has been difficult for him to spare time to study the formation in depth after practicing.
Zhou Yang saw this situation with his eyes and remembered it in his heart. He mentioned this matter to Xu Song several times and asked him to guide Zhou Guangxiang in the formation method.
Now that he finally got his wish, he couldn't help but have a cheerful smile on his face.
He took the jade slip with one hand and put it away, and with a smile on his face, he held his hands in his hands and thanked him: "Junior Dai Guangxiang would like to thank my senior for teaching me Taoism."
More than ten days later, Huang Yi, who had appeased his family, embarked on the road to Rhinoceros Continent alone with dozens of "magnetic traction arrays" refined by Zhou Guangxiang.
At the same time, after handing over the jade slips given by Xu Song to Zhou Guangxiang, Zhou Yang temporarily took over the responsibilities of the clan leader again and handled family affairs on behalf of Zhou Guangxiang, who was in seclusion to meditate on the formation.
The Zhou family has grown to this point, with seven deacons and elders each performing their own duties, and there are also nine administrative staff below. In fact, there are not many things that the clan leader has to deal with.
Take the Law Enforcement Hall as an example. When erring clan members below the ninth level of Qi training are punished with a fine of less than three years, whipping and other low-level punishments, they only need to keep relevant records for inspection, and the law enforcement can do so without notifying the clan leader.
The elders decide.
Only when it involves violations of law and discipline by senior members of the clan, or when it is necessary to impose severe penalties on the offending clan members, will the law enforcement elders report to the clan leader for confirmation before the execution.
Let’s talk about the financial hall. The financial elder of the financial hall has the power to independently approve finances up to one thousand spiritual stones, and can accumulate up to three thousand low-grade spiritual stones every year. To use these spiritual stones, you only need to keep relevant account books for inquiry.
Only when large project expenditures require the expenditure of more than one thousand spirit stones, it is necessary to report to the clan leader for approval.
Finally, let’s talk about the Public Security Hall. The Public Security Hall is said to be in charge of public security. In fact, the power of law enforcement within the Zhou family is in the hands of the Law Enforcement Hall. Therefore, the Public Security Hall is actually in charge of the security of the Zhou family’s Waifang City and Oasis.
When managing public security outside the clan, as long as it does not involve conflicts between foundation-building monks or members of the Huang Shamen, Chen family, and Nie family, the security elders have the right to follow the public security management regulations issued by the Zhou family.
Carry out disposal and record the results for public disclosure without reporting to the clan leader.
As for the Chuan Gong Hall, the General Affairs Hall, the Internal Affairs Hall, the Foreign Affairs Hall, the Baiyi Hall, and the War Hall, they basically only accept orders from the clan head and family elders. They only accept orders from the clan leader and family elders, and only when doing year-end summaries, or when there is an emergency.
Only when there are some more important events will the clan leader need to come forward.
As a monk in the Purple Mansion Stage, Zhou Yang’s energy and consciousness are not comparable to those of a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
For example, when reviewing the law enforcement records and financial income and expenditure records submitted by law enforcement agencies, finance agencies, etc., he can completely concentrate on counting the books and files at the same time, and quickly find out the suspicious loopholes and check whether there are any
Things like bending the law for personal gain and corruption and extortion.
Basically, he only needs to work for one day to handle a month's worth of official work.
Therefore, as long as he does not encounter matters that require the approval of the clan leader, his personal practice will not be delayed much by handling these clan affairs.
Of course, these only refer to an ideal situation when Zhou Yang does not actively interfere in other matters.
In fact, there are quite a lot of things he has to take the initiative to do.
For example, he would go to the school every day to visit his father, Zhou Xuanhao, who was teaching the young monks of the Zhou family together with the masters. By the way, he would teach and answer questions for some minor monks who had not yet left the school. Of course, this included his
Disciple Lu Xuewei.
Then he would also answer questions and teach the few Zhou family foundation-building monks who occasionally came to ask for help.
In addition, he must take time to ride his spiritual pet, the golden-winged thunder eagle, to patrol the oasis, to enhance the relationship between pets and to intimidate outsiders.
In short, as the only supreme elder of the Zhou family, Zhou Yang actually has no time to spare when he is not in retreat.
Busy time always flies by, and half a year flies by.
Six months later, Jiang Yuyan's 450th birthday was held as scheduled.
In order to boost people's morale this time, Huang Shamen issued a special order to all affiliated families under his command. As long as they are not in retreat or missing, they must send a foundation-building monk to Huang Shamen to celebrate their birthday.
So, on the day of the birthday celebration, two to three hundred foundation-building monks flew into the sky with swords and descended on the celebration site. The scene was very spectacular.
Then comes the birthday gift part.
For birthday gifts like this, unless you have a good relationship with the birthday girl or you have something to ask for, the gifts are only meant to be beautiful and festive, and not expensive.
After all, immortal cultivators have long lifespans. If people are asked to present precious treasures every birthday, if this continues, who will dare to come to celebrate their birthdays?
Therefore, this aspect of birthday celebrations is actually not paid much attention to by people.
At that time, after the monks who participated in the birthday celebration came in after presenting their gifts, they all gathered in twos and threes to find their good Taoist friends and sit down to eat wine, or talk to each other about some strange things in the world of immortality, or show off their own refining.
What kind of elixirs, magic weapons, or to show off some geniuses in their family.
Occasionally, when someone presents some rare treasure, it will attract some people to discuss it, but most of them are just joking.
Because everyone knows that if you present rare treasures at this time, it must be because something happened in your family and you want to go to Huangshamen, so you will take this opportunity to offer treasures as a congratulatory gift and do it openly and honestly.
Generally speaking, if this kind of thing is not too difficult to handle and the monk who is receiving the ceremony has gained face, he will help him afterwards.
However, under such circumstances, an extremely excited and excited singing voice suddenly shocked the entire audience.
"Zhou Yang, the supreme elder of the Zhou family in Chihu Mountain, gives you a fifth-level low-grade demon pill as a congratulatory gift!"
shock!
Extremely shocked!
Like a thunderous explosion on the ground, the entire celebration venue suddenly became as lively as a vegetable market.
Everyone craned their necks to look at the fifth-level demon pill being held by the recipient.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the jade box containing the demon pill was opened but not closed. All the foundation-building monks could clearly see the earth-yellow demon pill inside which was as big as a baby's head.
As the saying goes, you have never eaten pork, but you have also seen pigs walking.
Although the foundation-building monks had almost never seen what a real fifth-level demon elixir looked like before, when they saw the huge demon elixir that exuded pure earth spiritual power, they immediately knew that this was absolutely
It is a genuine fifth-level demon elixir.
Huang Shamen got another fifth-level demon pill!
Why say again?
Because of Jiang Yuyan's recent longevity, many monks present today have heard about it.
And with his death, Huang Shamen no longer has any monks who can exert the power of the golden elixir.
Once the "Heretic Golden Elixir" is mastered, it is closely related to the monk's own life. Once the monk who has mastered the "Heretic Golden Elixir" dies or passes away, the object will disappear with it, unlike magical weapons that can be inherited by future generations.
Originally, many people thought that as Jiang Yuyan's longevity expired and Huangshamen lost its pillar, it would surely decline further.
Even some ambitious people have made plans to quietly pounce on Huangshamen and take a bite after it declines.
It doesn't have to be rebellion, it can also be infiltration and bribery.
After all, many of the various immortal cultivating families are inextricably linked to some foundation-building cultivators in Huangshamen.
As long as the number of Zifu-level monks in Huangshamen is insufficient, the voice held by those foundation-building monks will naturally increase. At that time, various materials that are strictly controlled by Huangshamen may be exposed by their hands.
But now, Zhou Yang's gift of a fifth-level demon pill has completely ruined the hopes of these people and made them realize a cruel reality.
Even if Jiang Yuyan dies, Zhang Yunpeng, who is at the ninth level of the Zi Mansion, can still refine the fifth-level demon elixir as a "heretic golden elixir" and continue to suppress the entire boundless sea of sand cultivation world.
Moreover, the Zhou family, which they imagined could be used to fight against Huang Shamen, actually wore the same pair of pants as Huang Shamen. The relationship between the two parties was much closer than they had expected!
