"After thirty years of hard work, we have completed the construction of fifteen man-made oases. Now, because we are proficient in the construction process, we can build a new oasis in two and a half years at the fastest."
"Including the second construction team that has started construction of the oasis from Xijiao Island, in at most fifteen years, all the twenty-five oases planned by Uncle Jiu will be completed and put into use."
On an oasis under construction in the vast sand sea, Zhou Yang, who came all the way from Xijiao Island to inspect the oasis construction work, was listening to a report from Zhou Guangxiang, the general manager of the Zhou family's oasis construction work.
Since being assigned by Zhou Yang to participate in the oasis construction work thirty years ago, Zhou Guangxiang has been taking root on the front line and leading the oasis construction team to build a new oasis. In the past thirty years, he has only returned to his family a handful of times.
And because he spent thirty years on the construction of the oasis, Zhou Guangxiang's cultivation level completely stagnated during this period, and he is still at the seventh level of foundation building.
"Xiang'er, Uncle Jiu has asked you to build an oasis here for thirty years, and be with the yellow sand and soil all day long. Don't you have any ideas in your heart?"
Zhou Yang looked at his niece, who looked like a middle-aged woman and had aged a lot due to long-term exposure to the sun, rain, and wind and sand, with brilliant eyes.
It seems that the women of the Zhou family are destined to be associated with creating an oasis.
His eighth aunt Zhou Xuanyan was appointed by the family and stayed there for more than 20 years to create the Haoyang Mountain Oasis, also known as the Siyan Oasis.
Now Zhou Guangxiang is also following his orders, and has been building one oase after another in this boundless sea of sand far away from his family for thirty years.
"It's impossible to say that I didn't have any ideas in my mind at the beginning."
"But my niece has been studying the oasis construction notes left by her great-aunt Xuan Yan over the years, and after feeling the selfless dedication of her generation to the family, she figured it out."
"Compared with those ancestors who have been working hard for the family all their lives, what does it mean that my niece has been building an oasis in this sea of sand for thirty years?"
"Without the sacrifices of these family ancestors, and without the leadership of Uncle Jiu, Xiang'er would have died more than 20 years ago. How could he have successfully built the foundation and survived to this day?"
"Xian'er and his brother are deeply favored by the family and by Uncle Jiu. Not to mention Uncle Jiu, you let Xiang'er build an oasis here for thirty years. It's you who let Xiang'er fight the fourth-level monster. Xiang'er
There’s nothing wrong with that!”
Zhou Guangxiang looked at Zhou Yang resolutely and responded to his question in a low and powerful tone.
After hearing her calm and powerful words, Zhou Yang's face flashed with joy, and he couldn't help but cheered: "Okay, okay, uncle Jiu really did not misjudge the person. The fact that you can say this, Xiang'er, shows that you are
Really enlightened!"
"Don't worry, Uncle Jiu, I will never treat meritorious officials in the family badly. Uncle Jiu sees the contribution you have made for the family. I will definitely benefit from you in the future, and I will never let you suffer."
that is!"
Those who have made merit must be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes must be punished. This has always been Zhou Yang's family management philosophy.
Zhou Guangxiang has made great contributions to creating the oasis, and he will not be stingy with rewards.
Of course, the new oasis has not yet been fully built, so his reward will not be withheld for the time being. He can only give Zhou Guangxiang a psychological expectation and a reason for her to continue to persevere.
After inspecting the construction work of the new oasis, Zhou Yang returned to Xijiaozhou for retreat.
Two years later, he left the country and headed to Chihu Mountain Oasis to attend the big auction.
Because the momentum started two years in advance, this big auction attracted more people than the last time because of the participation of Huang Shamen.
For this reason, the Zhou family had to increase the admission fee to the auction house. If you want to participate in the auction, you not only need to be at least in the late stage of Qi training, but you also have to pay the entrance fee of ten low-grade spiritual stones.
For monks in the late stage of Qi training, ten low-grade spiritual stones are not a big expense, and the price of a second-grade high-grade spiritual talisman is more than this amount of spiritual stones.
But this amount of spiritual stones is not too small. If you are unlucky, a casual cultivator's income for half a year may not exceed this amount.
So with this threshold in place, the auction house built by the Zhou family was finally not overcrowded.
Of course, it doesn’t matter if you don’t enter the auction site to participate in the auction. In order to liven up the atmosphere, the Zhou family will arrange for someone to broadcast the auction situation in real time outside the auction site.
Naturally, in order to protect the privacy of the guests, the broadcast will only indicate how many spiritual stones the auction item was sold for, but not in whose hands it fell.
And because Huang Shamen took out seven Foundation Establishment Pills for sale, the Zhou family did not sell any more Foundation Establishment Pills at this auction, but replaced them with several spiritual pills that can improve the cultivation of monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and Zhou Yang
A fourth-level low-grade spiritual talisman drawn by hand.
Fortunately, those elixirs are not unique to the Zhou family, and some related foundation-building monks can buy them from Huang Shamen or other third-level alchemists.
But the fourth-level spiritual talisman is different. For a foundation-building family, this item can be regarded as a treasure that can be passed down as a family heritage.
Therefore, many Foundation Establishment monks are not as enthusiastic about bidding for this item as they are about the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Zhou Yang released a total of five fourth-level low-grade spiritual talismans, three attack spiritual talismans and two defensive spiritual talismans. In the end, he earned 100,000 low-grade spiritual stones based on these five spiritual talismans.
This means that in the Immortal Cultivation World of the Boundless Sand Sea, if it were replaced by the Immortal Cultivation World of Liuyun Continent, a fourth-level low-grade spiritual talisman would be worth 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones if it could break through the sky.
At the end of this grand auction, the total number of spiritual stones earned by the Zhou family still exceeded 500,000 low-grade spiritual stones.
"Thank you all fellow Taoists for participating in the second grand auction held by the Zhou family. Thirty years later, we will still hold the third grand auction, and we will still welcome all fellow Taoists to come."
"At the same time, Zhou also has a happy event to announce to all fellow Taoists. In seven days, the wedding ceremony of Zhou Guangxiang, the current patriarch of the Zhou family, and Liu Xuanxuan, my disciple, will be held on Chihu Mountain. All fellow Taoists are welcome to go there.
Watch the ceremony and celebrate.”
When the auction ended, Zhou Yang stood up immediately and loudly announced that the Zhou family was going to hold a celebration.
This news has been notified to some close friends families in advance. The main purpose of announcing it here is to inform those uninformed casual cultivators.
At this time, due to the large auction being held, the number of foreign monks on the Chihu Mountain Oasis was nearly ten thousand. After Zhou Yang announced the news, many monks who were originally about to leave changed their plans and decided to wait a few more days before setting off.
So on the day of the celebration, the number of monks gathered up and down Chihu Mountain actually exceeded 10,000.
Fortunately, the Zhou family is not what it used to be. The family has stored a large amount of spiritual grain and spiritual wine all year round, so there are no embarrassing things that cannot be uncovered.
And the name of this "Celebration of Ten Thousand Immortals" soon spread throughout the entire boundless sea of sand cultivating world with the return of the participating monks, and became a brag that many monks often talked about.
Naturally, as the protagonists of the celebration, the Taoist couple Zhou Guangxiang and Liu Xuanxuan have also become the envy of many boys and girls.
A wedding celebration can attract congratulations from thousands of cultivators. This kind of thing has not happened in the boundless sand sea cultivation world for countless years.
In the past, only after the Zifu monks from Huangshamen formed a golden elixir, they would hold the "Ten Thousand Immortals Conference" to accept worship from Wanxiu.
After the celebration, Zhou Yang, the newly married couple Zhou Guangxiang and his wife, were left on Chihu Mountain to take charge of the important task of creating people. He himself took Taoist companion Xiao Ying and another disciple Lu Xuewei to Xijiaozhou to live and practice.
"Xuewei, you practice ice-based techniques. It is difficult to find the ice spiritual veins suitable for your practice in this boundless sand sea. The cold air emanating from this cold spring can barely be regarded as ice-based spiritual energy. From now on, you will be here
Let’s practice by this cold spring. If you have any questions about practice that you don’t understand, you can ask the teacher and your wife nearby for advice.”
In the cave, Zhou Yang took his apprentice Lu Xuewei to the cold spring that he often used for body training and quenching. He pointed at the cold spring and told him his arrangement.
Lu Xuewei is only forty-six years old this year. According to the lifespan of a monk in the foundation-building period of 240 years, she is still a young girl who has just reached adulthood.
A few years ago, Xiao Ying refined a batch of fourth-level low-grade elixir "Zhu Yan Dan". There were only three pills. Except for Zhou Yang and herself, who each took one, the remaining one fell into Lu Xuewei's hands.
, taken by it.
Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens, her appearance will remain the same until her longevity is exhausted and she dies.
Because she practiced the advanced ice technique "Ice Soul Sutra", she exuded a cold breath all year round, and her skin was as white as frost and snow. Privately, she had won a "
The reputation of "Bingso Fairy" has as many pursuers as the crucian carp crossing the river.
But let alone her own disdain for those mediocre people, Zhou Yang would never allow her to fall in love with someone and become a Taoist couple at this time.
Unlike Liu Xuanxuan, Zhou Yang really regarded Lu Xuewei as his direct disciple, and his expectations for this disciple were naturally very high.
Over the years, it was Xiao Ying who was responsible for guiding Lu Xuewei in her cultivation, but in fact, he, the master, did a lot of things for her.
Among other things, after the big auction, he specially gave Zhang Yunpeng a commission to buy some ice-attribute elixirs and elixirs from the Liuyunzhou Immortal Cultivation World to help this disciple complete the construction as soon as possible.
Basic stage of practice.
From Zhou Yang's point of view, in the entire Zhou family except himself, Lu Xuewei's probability of succeeding in forming pills in the future is even higher than that of his Taoist companion Xiao Ying.
For such a talented disciple who is expected to form an elixir, his requirements are naturally very strict.
This time she was brought to Rhinoceros Continent not only because the cold spring here was really suitable for her practice, but also because she wanted to isolate her from those monks of the opposite sex, so as to prevent her from being disturbed by the sweet words of some monks of the opposite sex.
