The successful advancement of the gryphon beast means that the Zhou family has gained another Zifu fighting force.
After such a big event happened, Zhou Yang naturally stopped caring about the sermon. When he waved his hand and asked the elder Zhou Guangxiang to take over for him to answer the questions for the monks behind him, he flew directly to the top of the Red Tiger Mountain.
When he reached the top of the mountain, he saw the gryphon pecking off the feathers on its wings one by one.
"This is……"
Zhou Yang was slightly startled when he saw this scene.
Then he seemed to have remembered something, and murmured to himself with a sudden look on his face: "Are you going to moult? It seems that this advancement has indeed brought a lot of benefits to you, a beast!"
Ordinary birds moult every year, but the feathers of demon birds are tempered with magic all the year round and are extremely hard, so they rarely need to moult.
Once the demon birds begin to moult, there is only one reason, and that is that their original feathers cannot keep up with the improvement of their strength, so they need to remove the old feathers and replace them with new ones that match their strength.
The promotion of the griffin beast from the third level to the fourth level is not only as simple as condensing the demon elixir from the third level to the fourth level, but also fundamentally breaking the shackles of the gryphon's bloodline and improving its bloodline level from the bloodline level.
Therefore, it now needs to remove the feathers grown by the lower bloodline and replace them with feathers grown by the new higher bloodline.
"Wait a minute, these feathers are all good materials for making weapons. Peck them carefully for me. Peck them out slowly one by one. If you break one, I will personally help you pluck all the feathers!"
Zhou Yang suddenly let out a loud cry, which frightened the gryphon that was pecking at its feathers. It twitched its beak and pecked directly onto the fleshy wing next to it, leaving a bloody mouth as big as a fist.
The pain was so severe that it couldn't help but turn around and look at Zhou Yang sadly, whimpering and screaming a few times, as if to say something about the good thing you did.
When Zhou Yang saw this, he immediately became angry. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Hey, you beast, I haven't seen you for a few years, but you are very smart. You know how to show off your misery to win sympathy!"
After saying that, he jumped directly onto the griffon and actually pulled out the feathers on the griffon's wings with his own hands.
This job would be difficult for an ordinary Zifu period monk. After all, those feathers are connected to the griffin beast's flesh and blood, and it would not be easy to cut them off with a flying sword.
But after Zhou Yang had mastered the first level of "Canglong Body Refining Technique", his arms were so powerful that trivial matters like plucking hair was not a problem at all.
This time, Zhou Bapi directly turned into Zhou Bamao!
When all the feathers on the wings of the gryphon were plucked out, demonic blood was flowing all over its body, making it look extremely ferocious and terrifying.
However, Zhou Yang knew that these just looked scary, and were actually just flesh wounds that would recover quickly.
Sure enough, not only did the griffin beast, with its fleshy wings dripping with demonic blood, not show any sign of pain, but after Zhou Yang plucked out the last feathers on its body, it suddenly stood up, raised its neck, and let out an eagle cry full of joy.
Voice.
I saw it spread out its wings, and on the fleshy wings with demonic blood flowing across them, light blue feathers were quickly visible to the naked eye. These feathers grew when they were exposed to the wind, and soon they grew to about a foot long, and then they grew.
The speed gradually slowed down.
When Zhou Yang saw this scene, his eyes were filled with brilliance and he was amazed.
He knew that the gryphon, whose mana attribute was wind and fire, did not have such a powerful regeneration ability.
The reason why I can grow feathers so quickly now is all because of the laws of heaven.
However, even if the laws of heaven are there to protect you, it will still take a long time for these new feathers to fully stabilize.
He waited until the feathers on the griffin stopped growing, waved his hand, took out a large piece of hard frozen turtle meat from the storage ring, and threw it in front of the griffin: "This piece of fifth-level monster meat is considered to be the right weapon."
This is your reward for advancing. From now on, as long as you protect my Zhou family loyally and conscientiously, the benefits will be yours."
Turtle meat is the spiritual meat of the fifth-level monster "Genshan Turtle". Zhou Yang left it in the storage ring. He originally wanted to keep it as food for the adult golden-winged thunder eagle in the future, but now he wants to take advantage of this eagle.
A lion beast.
The griffin beast has just finished its advancement and needs to eat a lot to grow its body. At this time, after seeing the meat of the fifth-level monster beast that exudes rich aura, it doesn't care whether the meat is hard or astringent.
, Dangjie pounced on it and started to eat the frozen turtle meat on the ground.
In the next three months, the griffin beast had to obtain several third-level Jingyuan pills from Zhou Yang every two or three days. After three months of this, it finally stabilized the size of the fourth-level monster.
and strength.
At this time, the griffon's wings were nearly fifteen or six feet wide, and its front and rear body was more than eight feet long. It truly became a gigantic beast.
In the past, this griffin beast was used by Zhou Yang as a camel beast to carry people. At that time, if squeezed tightly, it could transport twenty or thirty people at a time.
But now, the carrying capacity of the gryphon is undoubtedly more powerful. It is more than enough for fifty people to stand on the broad lion's back.
Not only the body size has increased dramatically, but also the strength.
Thanks to the heart of the barbarian beast that Zhou Yang gave it, after advancing to a fourth-level monster, the gryphon not only awakened several innate magical powers of the wind and fire systems, but also mastered the skills of the barbarian beast and barbarian bird clan.
The universal talent magical power "Fury".
In this way, with its outstanding magical powers of wind and fire, as well as its powerful demonic body, even though the griffin beast has just successfully advanced, its combat power is not inferior to any of the early-stage cultivators of the Purple Mansion.
Of course, outliers like Zhou Yang do not count.
Originally, the griffin beast was promoted to a fourth-level monster, which was worthy of the Zhou family's celebration. After all, this was still a Zifu level combat power.
However, Zhou Yang thought that the big auction that the Zhou family was planning to hold would be held in less than a year, so he put aside his thoughts and concentrated on preparing for this matter.
News about this big auction has spread throughout almost the entire Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation World. All the monks who are not completely blocked from the news have already heard about the auction of Foundation Establishment Pills at this big auction.
Therefore, although there is still more than half a year until the grand auction is officially held, many monks have already embarked on the journey to the Chihu Mountain Oasis in advance.
A large number of monks rushed to the Chihu Mountain Oasis, which is of course a good thing for the Zhou family, because as long as these people come, they will not leave empty-handed. By then, the Zhou family can collect even the "head tax" from the city.
to a considerable sum.
It's just that the gathering of a large number of monks can easily lead to quarrels and fights, and it is also easy for the sand bandits to spy on them and intercept and kill those monks who come to the Chihu Mountain Oasis along the way.
Zhou Yang naturally didn't want this to happen, lest he ruin his reputation and scare away the monks who came from afar.
Therefore, he gave an order, and the newly formed war hall monks of the Zhou family were divided into three teams and took turns patrolling several main roads leading to the Chihu Mountain oasis to protect the monks from being robbed by sand bandits.
In addition, Guo Shaoyang, Ma Xingrui and other five patriarchs of the Establishment Family who were vassalized by the Zhou Family were also recruited by Zhou Yang for a year, making them serve as mobile patrolling monks to attack the hidden bandits.
However, just when Zhou Yang was ambitiously planning to make this grand auction a once-in-a-millennium event in the boundless sand sea of immortality, a piece of bad news suddenly came.
After two hundred and fourteen spring and autumn years, Zhou Yang's father Zhou Xuanhao, the only remaining elder of the "Xuan" generation of the Zhou family, passed away!
The normal lifespan of a Foundation Establishment monk is two hundred and forty years. Although there are very few Foundation Establishment monks who can truly live to this age, most of the Foundation Establishment monks who naturally sit down will still survive until the age of 230.
Not a problem.
For example, Zhou Minghan, the third generation patriarch of the Zhou family, although this old patriarch committed suicide, his lifespan was already over 230 years old before he committed suicide.
Unfortunately, Zhou Xuanhao was different. He was over ninety years old and successfully built the foundation without taking the foundation-building pill. He became the first foundation-building monk in the Zhou family who did not use the foundation-building pill to successfully build the foundation.
For him, this is certainly an honor worthy of being recorded in the history of the Zhou family, and it has a great motivating effect on future generations.
But because of this, his vitality was damaged during the foundation building process, and his lifespan was originally shorter than that of a normal foundation building monk.
Later, during the battle to exterminate demons that swept through the entire boundless sea of sand cultivators, Zhou Xuanhao was unfortunate enough to have his meridians eroded by the demonic energy of the demon cultivators from the Zifu period, further damaging his vitality. Even though Zhou Yang later found a healing elixir to help him
Even though the meridians were restored, the damaged vitality could not be made up for.
These two damage to his vitality caused him to live only two hundred and fourteen years before dying in a cave on Chihu Mountain.
As the only remaining monk of the "Xuan" generation of the Zhou family and the foundation elder of the Zhou family, after Zhou Xuanhao's death, the Zhou family naturally could not bury him hastily.
According to the clan rules of the Zhou family, when an elder dies, unless there is a war, the entire clan owner must mourn, and people must be sent to all vassal families and befriended families to report the funeral, and the funeral will be suspended for a month.
The Zhou family is now the number one cultivating family in the world of cultivating immortals in the Boundless Sand Sea. Naturally, these rules cannot be omitted or omitted.
Therefore, not only must the funeral be held, but it must be held grandly and grandly, so that all forces can send people to pay their respects. Only in this way can the influence of the Zhou family be shown, and the living Zhou clan members be more loyal and loving to the family.
.
You must know that even for a big family like the Zhou family, most of the immortal cultivators have not reached the Zifu stage and have reached the Golden Core stage. The Foundation Establishment stage is almost the culmination of their dreams.
In such a situation where the cultivation level cannot be improved, most monks will turn to pursuing fame and fortune. The Zhou family held most of the funerals for the deceased elders and invited many monks from outside the clan to come to mourn and mourn. Of course, these are nothing to the dead.
All to no avail.
But in the eyes of living people, many people will have the thought "If I die in the future and there are so many people mourning for me, then my death will be worth it."
Funerals are never meant for the dead!
As a result, because of the death of Zhou Xuanhao, many monks from the Immortal Cultivation Family who originally had to postpone their departure for more than half a year had to leave early for the Chihu Mountain Oasis.
If Zhou Xuanhao was just an elder of the Zhou family in the foundation-building stage, they could at most send a junior in the qi-training stage to mourn him.
But Zhou Xuanhao also has another identity as the father of Zhou Yang, a monk from the Zifu period. With this identity, even Zhang Yunpeng, the head of Huangshamen, rushed to the Zhou family in Chihu Mountain in person after learning the news.
condole.
Zhou Yang paid no attention to any of this and allowed Zhou Guangxiang, the patriarch and the elders, to take care of everything.
After Zhou Xuanhao passed away, he complied with his last wish, cremated his body and buried him with his mother Lin Yuting. Then he sat in front of his parents' graves and reflected on his experiences in this life.
A hundred years ago, he personally sent away his mother Lin Yuting, and now he personally sent away his father Zhou Xuanhao. He experienced all the joys and sorrows in the world, life and death, and he had a deep understanding in his heart.
