The small oasis where the three-tailed demon fox hides is only a few thousand acres in size. Apart from a shallow half-acre large pool, there are only some common desert plants on the oasis. Zhou Yang found no trace of spiritual veins on it.
But he knew that there must be spiritual veins here, otherwise the three-tailed demon fox would not have placed its lair here.
So after hearing what Xu Song said, he immediately went underground to investigate.
After a while, he dragged a white stone out of the ground, looked at Xu Song excitedly and said, "It's the [Forbidden God Stone] vein. I didn't expect that there is a [Forbidden God Stone] vein underneath!"
"Forbidden God Stone" is a third-level spiritual object. This object has a strong isolation effect on the spiritual consciousness of immortal cultivators. It is an excellent material used to build treasure houses, secret rooms, and auction houses.
When Zhou Yang participated in the auction in Xianyang City, the pagoda used to hold the auction was built by incorporating a large number of "Forbidden God Stones".
As far as Zhou Yang knew, only Huang Shamen in the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation World had a small "Forbidden God Stone" vein, but that vein was hollowed out hundreds of years ago.
In other words, except for the "Forbidden God Stone" vein he discovered, there are no other mineral veins in the boundless sand sea of immortality today.
"It turns out to be the [Forbidden God Stone] vein. How could I almost interrupt my connection with the wolf soul?"
Xu Song looked at the white ore in Zhou Yang's hand, nodded with a sudden look in his eyes, and understood the whole story.
"Not only is there a vein of [Forbidden God Stone], but there is also a third-level high-grade spiritual vein underneath. That demon fox is really good at choosing places to hide."
When Zhou Yang said this, he thought of the unique oasis of Chihu Ridge.
This oasis hidden by the natural magic formation was originally the habitat of the three-tailed demon fox.
"Could it be that this three-tailed demon fox still has the ability to hunt for treasure?"
He thought to himself, shook his head again, and didn't think about it any more.
No matter whether the three-tailed demon fox has the ability to hunt for treasure or not, it is useless to investigate this when it is already dead.
Immediately, Zhou Yang returned to Red Fox Ridge with the harvest, and handed over the location of the oasis containing the "Forbidden God Stone" vein to Zhou Guangxiang, asking him to immediately arrange for manpower to mine it.
The mining of spiritual minerals such as the "Forbidden God Stone", which is a third-level spiritual object, can only be carried out by immortal cultivators. Mortals cannot break this hard ore, so this time the Zhou family did not specifically build an oasis there.
All you need to do is recruit a group of casual cultivators to work as miners to mine ore.
After he explained the matter, he looked at Zhou Guangxiang with a serious face and said: "Now that the demon fox has been destroyed, Guangtai and the others have been avenged, but as for the compensation and rewards for their descendants, they must do a good job. Ten million
Don’t let the people’s hearts become cold.”
"Uncle Jiu, please rest assured. My nephew already has plans in mind regarding the pension and reward for Guangtai and the others."
"Guangtai is a monk in the foundation-building stage. He died while protecting the family's foundation. Naturally, the family will have to pay heavy compensation."
"I know that he has a grandson with a middle-grade spiritual root qualification. Before his death, he wanted to give his quota of exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill to this grandson. This time he died, the family rewarded his grandson with a Foundation Establishment Pill and let him
His sons and grandchildren share his inheritance equally."
"As for other Qi-training monks, as long as they have descendants and blood relatives, the family will distribute two to five thousand family contribution points to each of them based on their age at the time of death. What do you think, Uncle Ninth?"
Zhou Guangxiang looked at Zhou Yang and immediately followed his words and told him the pension plan he had thought of for a long time.
After the Zhou family took over as the patriarch from Zhou Yang, they have always provided generous pensions to the family monks who sacrificed their lives for the public service.
According to the pension rules he established at that time, as long as a family monk meets the conditions for sacrificing his life for the public, the family will first determine the pension amount of at least two thousand points.
Then, based on the age and cultivation level of the sacrificed monk at that time, all the family contribution points he can receive in the next few years are converted into pensions and distributed to his descendants.
In other words, if a Zhou family monk with a fifth level of Qi training dies in the line of duty at the age of forty, the total amount of pension his descendants will receive is two thousand plus what they can receive in the next twenty years.
The family contribution is a pension of 3,000 points.
However, at that time, this pension system was only for monks in the Qi-training period. For monks in the Foundation-building period, because the Zhou family had no such precedent at that time, when Zhou Yang formulated the pension system, he did not think about how to provide pensions, so he did not do it.
Make a plan.
After hearing Zhou Guangxiang's pension plan, his face changed, and he couldn't help but murmur to himself: "Does a Foundation-Building monk reward his descendants with Foundation-Building Pills if they die in the line of duty?"
The value of a foundation-building monk is certainly not comparable to that of a foundation-building pill.
From this perspective, it is normal to use the Foundation Establishment Pill as a means of compensation to appease the descendants of the Foundation Establishment monks who died in the line of duty.
"Okay, just follow this standard you have set. From now on, all the foundation-building monks in the family who sacrifice their lives in the line of duty can follow this standard!"
Zhou Yang thought about it again and again, and finally agreed to Zhou Guangxiang's pension plan.
Only a heavy reward can make people willing to die for the family.
If the Zhou family could guarantee that the descendants of the foundation-building monks who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty would receive a foundation-building pill, then the chances of the Zhou family's foundation-building monks escaping and rebelling in the face of life-or-death danger would undoubtedly be greatly reduced.
It was precisely because Zhou Yang understood the importance of this that he agreed to Zhou Guangxiang's plan.
After he agreed to the plan, he seemed to have remembered something. He suddenly looked at Zhou Guangxiang and asked, "By the way, five years have passed. Have you and Xuanxuan left no heirs?"
Hearing him ask about this matter, Zhou Guangxiang suddenly smiled and said with joy: "Yes, Xuanxuan was pregnant with a baby boy more than half a year ago. According to time, there will be three more at most."
It will take just a month to give birth!"
When Zhou Yang heard this, he was overjoyed and couldn't help but cheered: "Okay, okay, in that case, Uncle Jiu, I won't go back to Xijiaozhou now. It won't be too late to go back after your child is born."
He had been waiting for this day for a long time, and now that he heard this happy event, he finally let go of his worries.
Next, Zhou Yang and Zhou Guangxiang returned to the Chihu Mountain Oasis together, but Xu Song took the initiative to stay and prepared to study the natural phantom formation outside the Chihuling Oasis to see if he could learn new formations from it.
.
Many formations in the world of immortality were created by senior formation masters who learned from some natural and dangerous places. Natural illusion formations like this are as attractive to formation masters as the weapon refiners are to the spiritual fire of heaven and earth.
of desire.
"In the past five years, the family has redeemed five more foundation-building pills. Unfortunately, only two people have successfully built the foundation. One is Zhou Tonghua, a member of the clan, and one of them is a monk from a foreign relative!"
On the way back to Chihu Mountain, Zhou Guangxiang and Zhou Yang talked about who should replace the fallen Zhou Guangtai to take charge of the Chihu Ridge Oasis. They briefly talked about the development of the Zhou family in the past few years, and of course they mentioned two new ones.
A person who builds a successful foundation.
"Oh, my cousin's brother also redeemed the foundation-building pill to build the foundation? I wonder who his Taoist companion is?"
Zhou Yang looked at Zhou Guangxiang with a surprised look on his face and asked, also quite surprised by this matter.
Although the monks who are relatives of the Zhou family can enjoy most of the benefits of the Zhou family, including the exchange of precious treasures such as Foundation Establishment Pills.
However, the treatment of monks who are relatives is much lower than that of members of the Zhou family. It is not a big deal to collect the family contribution points to exchange for foundation-building pills.
"It's the Taoist companion that Aunt Yuan Yao fell in love with three years ago. The Foundation Building Pill he used to build his foundation was also exchanged by Aunt Yuan Yao with her family's contribution points."
Zhou Guangxiang glanced at Zhou Yang with twinkling eyes and whispered the answer.
His actual age is a bit older than Zhou Yuanyao. Of course he knows that Zhou Yuanyao liked Zhou Yang back then, so it's no wonder that his expression is a little strange at this time.
When Zhou Yang heard what he said, he was indeed stunned.
Zhou Yuanyao found someone he liked and became a Taoist couple. As an elder brother, of course he was happy.
However, when Zhou Yuanyao became a Taoist couple, he didn't even notify his brother or ask him to witness the marriage, which made him feel quite unhappy.
However, he was just stunned for a moment before he came to his senses. Then he looked at Zhou Guangxiang with a complicated expression and asked, "What is that person's name? Where is he from? What is his character like?"
"The man's name is Pang He. He is sixty years old this year. He has a middle-grade spiritual root qualification with both gold and fire attributes. His father is a foundation-building casual cultivator. He is a pretty good person. He has a cheerful and generous personality. He is a person who can be friends with."
Zhou Guangxiang seemed to have known Zhou Yang would ask this question for a long time, and immediately explained the situation of Taoist monk Zhou Yuanyao in detail.
After finishing speaking, he also took the initiative to say: "Aunt Yuanyao went out to relax three and a half years ago and met Pang He by chance outside. Then she was attracted by his courageous behavior of helping the weak and unjust cultivators to fight injustice, and soon fell in love with her and became a Taoist.
I became my husband and exchanged a foundation-building pill from my nephew for him to take to build a foundation."
After saying that, he secretly glanced at Zhou Yang's face, and found that Zhou Yang's expression had not changed much before he cautiously continued: "And after Aunt Yuan Yao and Uncle Pang officially merged into a double cultivator, they gave birth to a child last year.
A baby girl with low-grade spiritual root qualifications, named Zhou Guangying!"
Zhou Yang's expression finally changed, a wry smile flashed across his face, and he couldn't help but murmured to himself: "Guang Ying, Guang Ying, is she still a little weird in her heart?"
Zhou Guangxiang didn't dare to answer his words. He just stared ahead, pretending that he didn't hear anything.
Fortunately, Zhou Yang didn't dwell too much on this matter. He quickly returned to normal and looked at him and said: "I understand, since the [Purple Cloud Fruit] vines on the Red Fox Ridge have been destroyed by the demon fox, here
It’s not that important to the family. From now on, the place where the family’s foundation-building monks will be stationed will be in the Yuquan Lake Oasis, and let Yuan Yao and his wife be stationed in the Yuquan Lake Oasis.”
"Yuan Yao is, after all, the great-granddaughter of the old patriarch. After the announcement is made, the Yuquan Lake Oasis will be left to her lineage!"
