Even though he knew that Zhou Yuanyao still had some resentment towards him and his Taoist companion Xiao Ying, after Zhou Yang arrived at Chihu Mountain, he still went to meet the foster sister's family as soon as possible and sent his blessings sooner or later.
When they met, he took a look at his brother-in-law Pang He.
Because of the successful foundation building, Pang He's appearance has returned to his youth. Although he is not as handsome as Zhou Yang, he is still handsome and talented.
On the other hand, Zhou Yuanyao next to him, although her beauty is still the same, has been tempered by the years, and the originally innocent and beautiful girl Tingting has turned into a graceful and luxurious middle-aged beauty, no longer young.
Zhou Yang stayed in Zhou Yuanyao's cave for half a day and had a conversation with his brother-in-law Pang He. He only told him as an elder to treat his sister well and other words, and by the way, he checked whether this brother-in-law's character was as Zhou Guangxiang said.
That's good.
In general, after a conversation, Zhou Yang had a good impression of this "young" brother-in-law, and felt that if Zhou Yuanyao was with him, he should be able to live happily and stably for the rest of his life.
Therefore, when leaving, he also gave a fourth-level low-grade spiritual talisman drawn by himself to his brother-in-law as a meeting gift, and informed Zhou Yuanyao and his wife of his arrangements for them to station at the Yuquan Lake Oasis.
Next, Zhou Yang went to visit his pregnant apprentice Liu Xuanxuan and gave him a third-level elixir called "Marrow Washing Flower" as a gift.
This "Marrow Cleansing Flower" is a third-level elixir with rare uses, and is only useful for children who have not yet begun to practice spiritual practice.
After children who have not been exposed to spiritual practice take the "Marrow Cleansing Flower", they can directly cut off the body's hair and cleanse the marrow through the power of the elixir, which indirectly has the effect of improving their spiritual qualifications, and can also directly allow the child to step into the first place in spiritual practice.
A realm of innate realm.
The "marrow-washing flower" in Zhou Yang's hand was obtained when he looted Ziyun Pavilion outside "Yunwuze".
Because the children of Zhou Guangxiang and Liu Xuanxuan would play a great role in the next reform of the Zhou family, he was willing to give this elixir to them, otherwise it would have been given as a gift to Zhou Yuanyao's daughter.
"Master has great love, Xuanxuan thanks Master for the gift on behalf of the baby in her belly!"
Liu Xuanxuan, who is about to be a mother, like all mothers, is full of love for the child who is about to be born.
After receiving the "Marrow Cleansing Flower" from Zhou Yang, she was overjoyed and quickly bowed and thanked her.
The road to cultivating immortality is to take the lead one step at a time.
It’s just that no spiritual root was detected after the child in her belly was born. If the spiritual root was detected, even if it was only a low-grade spiritual root qualification, with the help of this "Marrow Cleansing Flower", when he starts to practice practice in the future, his practice speed will naturally be ahead.
Children of the same age and with the same qualifications are equal.
In addition, Zhou Guangxiang and she both have a large number of family contribution points, and they can use their contribution points to exchange a large amount of the Zhou family's self-produced "Golden Haired Blue Sheep" goat milk for their children to take for a long time.
In this way, even with resources, their children can reach the ninth level of Qi training before they turn sixty, and then take the Foundation Building Pill to build their foundation.
Although for a family and a force, it is a huge waste of resources to spend such a large amount of resources to cultivate a monk who is destined to have no chance of being on the road, and it is also an injustice to other monks with ordinary backgrounds.
But how can there be so much fairness in things in this world?
As a high-level monk, he is willing to spend his private property to cultivate his own offspring without stealing or robbing. No one can blame him for this.
Next, Zhou Yang followed the rules and met with Zhou Tonghua, another foundation-building monk of the Zhou family who was new to building a foundation. After encouraging him verbally, he gave him a third-level high-grade spiritual talisman as a reward for his successful foundation building.
Zhou Tonghua had just spent all his family contribution points to redeem the Foundation Building Pill and succeeded in building the Foundation. He was penniless. At this time, he was rewarded by Zhou Yang with a third-level high-grade spiritual talisman. Naturally, he was overjoyed.
Compared with those helpless casual cultivators and small family cultivators, the Zhou family really has nothing to say about how they treat the foundation-building cultivators.
As long as the foundation can be successfully established, Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the family, will give him spiritual talismans or magic weapons to protect himself. He can also choose any skill from the family treasure house to practice for free, including "Golden Light Shining World Art" and "Yi Qi".
Qianyuan Gong" these two advanced exercises.
Moreover, if you encounter any questions about your practice, you can always ask the elders of the Zifu period in your family for advice.
In addition, after the Zhou family monks successfully build the foundation, they will also receive a loan of 30,000 family contribution points, which can be used to exchange for magic weapons, spiritual talismans, elixirs and other treasures in the family treasury.
With these safeguards in place, basically as long as a Zhou family monk succeeds in foundation building, he can immediately put together a set of third-level offensive and defensive magic weapons, and have the combat power that a normal monk in the foundation building period should have.
To put it bluntly, even in a large sect like Xuanyang Immortal Sect, the salary of a monk who has just successfully established a foundation without any background is not as good as that of a foundation-building monk from the Zhou family.
Therefore, regardless of the fact that the monks of the Zhou family who are in the Qi training period are often miserable and working hard to contribute to the family, one may think that the Zhou family is squeezing these low-level monks. In fact, those monks who are willing to work hard are all dream chasers with dreams in their hearts.
.
If he did not dream of building a foundation, the Zhou family's Qi-training monks would only need three wives and four concubines to marry more than ten or twenty wives and concubines, give birth to thirty to fifty offspring, and give birth to two or three children with spiritual roots.
If you have offspring, the maternity subsidy fund you receive from your family can make you comfortable for a lifetime and take care of yourself until old age.
After meeting Zhou Tonghua, Zhou Yang went to personally meet the descendants of Zhou Guangtai who sacrificed their lives for the family to express his condolences.
In the next two months, while Zhou Yang was waiting for Liu Xuanxuan to give birth in Chihu Mountain, he checked the situation of each church in the Zhou family and found that the number of monks in the Zhou family alone had reached 700.
There are more than 400 remaining people, including relatives and monks.
Even in terms of the number of monks in the family, the current Zhou family is well-deserved to be the largest family in the world of immortality in the boundless sand sea.
"That's almost it. There are only three to four thousand monks in Huangshamen's Qi training period now. Our Zhou family has many fewer resources than them, and we have to pay a large amount of maternity subsidies, but we can't support them like them.
So many monks."
Zhou Yang thought of the financial income and expenditure situation he had just reviewed, and gradually had an idea in his mind.
Immediately, he found Zhou Guangxiang, the clan leader, and convened various elders and deacon elders in the family to hold a small family meeting and put forward two proposals.
One is to continue to encourage family monks to have more children and extend the subsidy period of the maternity subsidy fund from twenty years to thirty years.
The second is to officially cancel "Feng Yue Tower".
The first suggestion is easy to say. Extending the subsidy period of the maternity subsidy fund is something that benefits all the monks in the clan, so naturally no one has any objections.
However, regarding the proposal to cancel the "Feng Yue Tower", several deacons and elders from the Zhou family who were born in the "Feng Yue Tower" had many objections.
These people believe that the cancellation of "Feng Yue Tower" will greatly reduce the number of monks born in the Zhou family, and they used the birth data of the Zhou family's monks in recent years to prove that the number of monks born in "Feng Yue Tower" every year is still the number of new monks born in the Zhou family.
occupies a large proportion in the quantity.
But they didn't know, or pretended not to know, that Zhou Yang wanted to cancel "Feng Yue Tower" just after he discovered that among the more than 700 monks in the Zhou family, more than 50% of them had ancestors from "Feng Yue Tower".
For Zhou Yang and the Zhou family, the main reason for opening the "Feng Yue Tower" was because the growth rate of the monk population brought about by the birth of offspring by the Zhou family monks was too slow, so they wanted to increase the family's monk population in this way.
Now more than a hundred years have passed, and the original purpose of opening the "Feng Yue Tower" has been achieved. It just so happens that he is now preparing to control the growth of the family's population. Of course, the first thing to be canceled is the "Feng Yue Tower".
Of course, there is another reason why it is inconvenient to say it, because he has realized that the existence of "Feng Yue Tower" has become an obstacle and a hidden danger for the Zhou family, which has now grown into a behemoth.
In order to prevent this hidden danger from growing further, he naturally wanted to kill it.
Due to the death of Zhou Guangtai, none of the current foundation-building elders of the Zhou family were from the "Feng Yue Tower" monks. Only the objections of a few deacons and elders certainly could not influence the decision to reverse Zhou Yang.
So this time the two proposals became decisions and were officially implemented.
From its own point of view, the closure of "Feng Yue Tower" does not actually affect the actual interests of any Zhou family monks. It is just that some monks who were originally stationed in "Feng Yue Tower" were transferred to other places due to the cancellation of their missions.
So although this matter caused some people to discuss it, it did not have much impact. What everyone was more concerned about was the extension of the maternity subsidy fund to thirty years. After all, this is what they can actually get.
benefit.
This made Zhou Yang, who had been secretly paying attention to the development of the situation, secretly relieved.
Fortunately, what he was most worried about did not appear.
More than two months passed quickly.
On this day, after 300 days of pregnancy, Liu Xuanxuan successfully gave birth to a baby boy.
The physique of the monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage is far from ordinary people. After Liu Xuanxuan gave birth, she just used a spell to wash away the dirt all over her body, took a magic pill that replenished Qi and blood, and then she walked out of the room with the baby boy in her arms and came to Zhou who had been waiting for a long time.
In front of Yang and Zhou Guangxiang.
She held the baby boy in her hands and handed it to Zhou Yang, and said with a respectful look on her face: "Master, please give this baby a name."
Seeing this, Zhou Yang waved his hand and said: "Guangxiang's name was chosen by me in the beginning. Now that his child is born, I can't do anything for him anymore. I'd better let him, the father, choose the name himself."
!”
Zhou Guangxiang, who was next to him, heard this and quickly reached out to take the child from the hands of the Taoist monk. He said with a smile: "My nephew has indeed thought of a name for this child a long time ago. Since Uncle Jiu said so, my nephew will not be polite.
