A small family meeting to understand the family situation made Zhou Yang aware of the hidden dangers of the Zhou family that had not been taken seriously. From this aspect, the meeting was extremely successful.
After he noticed the hidden dangers between the two Zhou family monks with different backgrounds, although he was eager to find a solution to the hidden dangers, he did not dare to speak out to avoid detonating the hidden mine in advance.
Even the elder Zhou Guangjian, who had vaguely guessed something, was given a silence order by him, prohibiting him from revealing today's conversation to anyone.
Next, Zhou Yang acted as if nothing had happened, listened to the reports from other law enforcement elders of the family, gave some relevant guidance, and announced that the meeting was adjourned.
After the meeting, Zhou Yang quietly checked the law enforcement records of the Law Enforcement Hall for the past twenty years, and found some anomalies as expected.
In the law enforcement records of the past two decades, the number of incidents involving fights between tribesmen has increased year by year.
Although the law enforcement records did not record what kind of verbal dispute led to the fight between the two parties, Zhou Yang compared the roster of Zhou family monks that he transferred from the Chuan Gong Hall and easily found that the two parties in the fight were often from "Feng Yue Tower"
The monks and the direct monks of the Zhou family.
The only thing that makes Zhou Yang feel relieved now is that the tribesmen fighting are basically young people.
Those Zhou family members who are over 60 or 70 years old, because they have shared the joys and sorrows in the past, even though they may have been influenced by some young people, they can still restrain themselves and refrain from committing acts of fratricide.
But as time goes by, because the new generation of Zhou family monks lack the experience of sharing joys and sorrows, when they compete for the family's internal resources, the so-called distinction between pure blood and mixed blood will definitely become an excuse for them to criticize each other.
When the time comes, even if the people above can keep their heads clear and clearly see the consequences of their end, they will inevitably be dragged down by their juniors sometimes.
After all, not everyone is like Zhou Yang, who has no brothers, sisters, children or relatives, and can "live alone".
When their brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews, sons and daughters are all insulted and criticized by others as "half-blood bastards", how many people can hold back their anger and not take action to protect their cubs?
“It’s worth arousing vigilance!”
In the quiet room, after Zhou Yang finished flipping through all the information, he couldn't help but raise his hand and rub the corners of his eyes, sighing with a complex expression on his face.
A family cannot always be harmonious and beautiful, which he knew well when he took over the family a hundred years ago.
However, in the past, the Zhou family was on the rise, and it was standard with fewer people and more resources. Even if there were some conflicts, they would soon be temporarily forgotten due to various busy things.
It’s not that the contradiction is gone, it’s just that it has been suppressed by more important things.
After hundreds of years of development, the number of monks in the Zhou family has increased twenty to thirty times. With more people, all kinds of shitty things that are bound to happen to big families will definitely follow.
In fact, the relationship between Zhou Guangyin and Zhou Tongming, the aunt and nephew, had already exposed some things, but at that time Zhou Yang had no time to think about this matter, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
But now, he knew that he had to start resolving the issue between pure blood and mixed blood in advance, otherwise when the conflict between the two sides really escalated to an extreme point, it would be impossible to resolve this conflict without bloodshed.
In fact, Zhou Yang also has a way to solve this problem, but he cannot implement this method yet.
Because once this method is implemented, it will definitely have a serious impact on the development of the Zhou family, and will also be opposed by many clan members.
So now he has to wait, wait for the conflict to escalate, wait for the conflict to escalate to the point where most of the clan members are aware of the serious consequences of this conflict, before taking action.
By then, there should be very few people who oppose it.
Of course, this conflict can escalate, but it must be under Zhou Yang's control. It cannot escalate indefinitely, nor can it break through the bottom line in his heart.
It just so happened that Zhou Guangxiang was now retreating to open up the Zi Mansion, and Zhou Yang regained the power of the clan leader, giving him a legitimate opportunity to rectify the layout.
He first cut the expenses of "Feng Yue Tower", thus reducing the number of mixed-race monks born.
Then he mobilized the work of some monks within the clan and secretly transferred some monks from mixed-race monks to Lingshan Mountain outside Chihu Mountain to garrison.
Then he secretly spread the news that the number of deacons and elders in the family was too small and the power was too great. The Supreme Elder intended to expand the number of elders in the presbytery and reduce the power of the deacons and elders.
As he expected, after hearing the news, some Zhou family monks immediately began to inquire about the authenticity of the news, eager to win a place.
But at this time, he responded thunderously that the rumors were rumors, and severely criticized those who spread the rumors, saying that if anyone spread rumors in the clan in the future, they would be directly exiled.
When those Zhou family monks saw that the "rumor" was learned by Zhou Yang so quickly and was dealt with seriously, they immediately knew that Zhou Yang, the supreme elder, was not just a cultivator who didn't care about worldly affairs. In fact, he knew everything about the clan's affairs.
Chu.
Some members of the Zhou family who had small calculations in their minds were frightened by Zhou Yang and restrained themselves a lot. There was a lot of harmony within the family.
At the same time, after this commotion, Zhou Yang mobilized the clan members to work. Except for some parties involved who were a little reluctant, no one else paid attention to this matter.
Most immortal cultivators are actually exquisite egoists. As long as it does not affect their own vital interests, they will not care what happens to other people. Wouldn't it be better to focus on cultivation?
"The Supreme Elder, I would like to inform the Supreme Elder that I have something important to ask for an audience with!"
On this day, Zhou Yang was dealing with some accumulated documents within the clan in the palace where the clan leader worked daily, when he suddenly heard the extremely surprised shout of Liu Xuanxuan, the deputy master of the Zhou Family Baiyi Hall.
"It turns out to be Liu Xiaoyou, why are you here?" He called the person in and asked the other person's purpose with a smile.
However, when Liu Xuanxuan heard this, she reached out and patted the storage bag, took out a shining green feather fan and handed it to him.
"Please take a look, Elder Taishang. This [Wind Feather Fan] is the latest one made by this junior. What do you think?"
The cyan feather fan is made from the eagle feathers that faded after the gryphon was promoted to the fourth level. The handle of the fan is made of a third-level spiritual wood. The magic weapon aura emitted from it is impressively at the third-level level!
When Zhou Yang plucked out the shed eagle feathers of the griffin beast, most of them were put into the Zhou family's treasury, and he always knew that Liu Xuanxuan had been consuming the spiritual stones and spiritual stones accumulated over the years in order to fulfill his promise.
Contribution points are exchanged for these materials from the treasure house to refine third-level magic weapons.
Now it seems that she really succeeded!
Of course, Zhou Yang still needs to judge whether it is really successful.
Without saying a word, he directly reached out to take the feather fan handed over by Liu Xuanxuan and began to practice the magical weapon on the spot.
With his fourth-level cultivation in the Purple Mansion, it was natural for him to refine such a third-level low-grade magic weapon in a matter of seconds.
Then he walked out of the room and waved his fan to the sky outside the room. Suddenly, a green light flashed across the fan, and a green wind blade about three feet long was formed and shot towards the sky, flying four to five hundred feet.
Just dissipated.
Then he shook his feather fan again, and a cyan light flashed on the fan, and soon a cyan-gray wind wall formed in front of him.
He gently reached out and poked at the wind wall, and found that the wind wall was very tough and difficult to break through.
"After failing fifteen times, I finally made this [Wind Feather Fan] using nine gryphon feathers as the main material and combined with blue sky wood."
"This fan can not only be charged to release a wind blade spell equivalent to a third-level low-grade attack spell once a day to attack the enemy, but it can also release a wind wall equivalent to a third-level low-grade defensive spell every three days for defense."
"If you encounter a critical situation, you can also use the method of self-destruction to activate the nine eagle feathers on the fan to cover the attack. The attack power of each eagle feather should be no less than a strike from a third-level low-grade flying sword!"
When Zhou Yang was testing the magical weapon, Liu Xuanxuan seemed to have finally caught the opportunity. She introduced the functions of her magical weapon with a smile on her face.
A third-level low-grade magic weapon possesses three magical powers with different functions. This is indeed a rare thing. No wonder she couldn't help but show a proud look in her words.
However, Zhou Yang did not test the magical power of the third magical weapon mentioned by Liu Xuanxuan, which would destroy this magical weapon that was of great commemorative significance to Liu Xuanxuan.
What's more, with his status as a fourth-level mid-level weapon refiner, he can certainly judge whether Liu Xuanxuan's words are true or false.
After he tested the magical powers of the first two magical weapons of the "Wind Feather Fan", he put away the magical weapons, looked at Liu Xuanxuan with a deep look and asked: "How old are you this year?"
Liu Xuanxuan was startled when she heard this, and then she seemed to have thought of something, and replied with a respectful voice: "The Supreme Elder Mingjian, I entered the Zhou family at the age of twenty-one, and I am already fifty-five years old this year."
"Time flies so fast, thirty-four years have passed before I knew it!"
Zhou Yang sighed with emotion, and then in Liu Xuanxuan's unclear eyes, he nodded slightly and said: "Very good, since you can refine a third-level magic weapon with the ninth level of Qi training, I
I will definitely fulfill my promise and ensure the success of your foundation building!"
Guarantee your foundation building success!
When Liu Xuanxuan heard these words, even though she had developed a state of not being surprised by favors and humiliations over the years, she couldn't help showing a look of extreme joy.
"There is a Foundation Building Pill inside. You take it first. If it fails, just come to me to get it."
Zhou Yang was more straightforward, knowing that words were better than actions. No matter how many nice words he said, he had no actual actions to make people believe him. When he raised his hand, he took out a jade bottle containing the Foundation Establishment Pill and handed it to Liu Xuanxuan.
"Thank you, Supreme Elder, for the elixir!"
With an excited face, she reached out and took the jade bottle containing the Foundation Establishment Pill from Zhou Yang's hand. Liu Xuanxuan didn't even know how she walked back to her cave.
She has served the Zhou family for many years and has already used her weapon refining skills to win herself the right to live in a foundation-building cave on Chihu Mountain.
After returning to the cave at this time, she was so excited that she immediately started to retreat and build the foundation.
A month later, Liu Xuanxuan walked out of the cave with an ugly face. At this time, her cultivation level was at the tenth level of Qi training.
Zhou Yang had no idea about Liu Xuanxuan's failure in taking the Foundation Building Pill. The success rate of taking the Foundation Building Pill with medium-grade spiritual roots was not 100%, so failure was normal.
So he didn't say much. He comforted Liu Xuanxuan with kind words and asked her not to be under too much psychological pressure, and then gave her the second Foundation Establishment Pill.
Fortunately, Liu Xuanxuan did not waste any more opportunities this time, and successfully built the foundation and walked out of the cave after a month and a half of retreat.
At this point, the Zhou family's first first-class guest minister was born.
