Chapter 411: Lu Xuewei's request [four thousand-character chapter]
"The oasis passage was completed six years ago, one year later than the fifteen-year deadline originally expected by my niece. The reason was that one year there was a huge sandstorm, which destroyed less than half of the three oases we built earlier. We had to
Stop work for a year to repair the damaged oases."
"At the same time, because of the impact of the sandstorm, after the completion of the oasis passage, my brother called us elders to discuss and decided to set up an oasis maintenance team of thirty people. The members are all family monks and family guests, and each person will be responsible for it every year.
Grant an additional fifty points of family contribution point subsidy."
"The monks of this oasis maintenance team are usually stationed on the twenty-five man-made oases. They work in groups of three to slowly expand the size of the oasis every year. If a large sandstorm destroys the oasis, they will accept the family's order and come together to repair it.
Damaged Oasis.”
"Three years ago, the first migratory team of 10,000 people had already started migrating towards Rhinoceros Island. The current news is that they have crossed six man-made oases, and their number has been reduced by about half."
"By the way, my brother was successfully promoted to a fourth-level formation mage five years ago. The communication formations currently arranged along the way from Xijiaozhou to Chihu Mountain were arranged by him personally, and he is still in Chihu Ridge.
Level 4 defensive arrays are deployed on Level 3 high-level Lingshan Mountains such as Qinglang Peak."
"Also, in the past fifteen years, two more people in the family have successfully built a foundation, namely Zhou Tongmin and Zhou Fuyun. There are also two casual cultivators who have built a foundation in the sand sea and have discovered a medium-sized oasis in the sand sea and submitted a vassal application to the family.
, Brother, he has accepted the vassalage of those two people on behalf of the family."
"In addition, in the past few years, two people from Huangshamen have successfully opened the Zifu. Among the vassal families of Huangshamen, Yan Nantian, the contemporary head of the Yan family in Fire Fox Ridge, has also successfully opened the Zifu. As a result, the Yan family has been promoted to
The new Zifu family!"
…
On Qinglang Peak, Zhou Yang, who came out to check the situation, met his niece Zhou Guangxiang who was practicing here. From his mouth, he learned about the general changes that had taken place in the Zhou family and the boundless sand sea cultivation world during the years of seclusion.
In addition to Lingxi Peak, there are two third-level high-grade Lingshan Mountains on Xijiaozhou, namely Qinglang Peak and Black Nitan.
Among them, Qinglang Peak has rich spiritual energy and lush vegetation, which is very suitable for planting spiritual herbs and medicinal herbs. The entire Lingshan Mountain was opened up as a medicine garden by the Zhou family, and Zhou Guangxiang, an elder of the Zhou family, has been sitting here for a long time.
As for the other third-level high-grade spiritual land, Black Mire, although the spiritual energy is also very rich, because the spiritual veins are located under a swamp with a depth of tens of feet, it is very difficult to develop. It is temporarily regarded as a beast garden by the Zhou family.
The area of hundreds of miles has been used as a pasture for spiritual animals such as "golden blue sheep", "iron-clad rhinoceros", "blue-spotted deer", "white-tailed black sheep".
At this time, after listening to Zhou Guangxiang's explanation, Zhou Yang roughly understood what had happened to him in seclusion during these years.
"Very good, you have done a good job in setting up the oasis maintenance team."
He nodded for a while, and first praised the Zhou Guangxiang brother and sister for forming the oasis maintenance team.
There is no doubt about the importance of the twenty-five man-made oases to the Zhou family. The destruction of any one of the oases will temporarily interrupt Rhinoceros Continent's external land transportation. The formation of a dedicated team of monks is indispensable for the maintenance of these oases.
While he was in seclusion, he was very pleased that the brothers Zhou Guangxiang and Zhou Guangxiang could think of this and implement it.
Then he looked at Zhou Guangxiang, who was no longer young, and couldn't help but reveal a touch of kindness in his eyes.
Zhou Guangxiang is one hundred and sixty-three years old this year. After completing the oasis construction work, he was finally promoted to the eighth floor of the foundation building, which is not far from the ninth floor of the foundation building.
Based on her age, she will definitely be able to practice to the ninth level of foundation building before she is two hundred years old, and have the conditions to attack the Zi Mansion.
"Xiang'er, Uncle Jiu said at the beginning that after you complete the construction of the oasis passage, you will be rewarded heavily."
"Uncle Jiu now gives you two choices."
"The first option is that in the next thirty or forty years, Uncle Ninth will make every effort to help you find a copy of [Purple Heart Chalcedony] to help you open up the Purple Mansion,"
"The second option is that you find a Taoist companion to get married and have children now. In this way, among the children you give birth to in the future, Uncle Jiu can guarantee that he will support one person to successfully build a foundation and reward him with 50,000 family contribution points!"
Zhou Yang looked at the niece in front of him lovingly, and softly spoke out his reward.
These two rewards were what he had planned for a long time. No matter which one Zhou Guangxiang chose in the end, it would be worthy of her efforts to persevere in the sea of sand for more than forty years.
But after Zhou Guangxiang heard the two choices he mentioned, he immediately said without any hesitation: "Thank you Uncle Jiu for your love. My niece chooses the first option."
Choosing the first option is to choose your own path.
Zhou Yang thought about the fact that his niece still risked her life to attack the foundation after she failed, and it was not surprising that she would make such a choice.
So he immediately nodded and said: "Well, since you have made your choice, Uncle Ninth will naturally respect your choice. That [Purple Heart Chalcedony], Uncle Ninth will definitely be with you when your life span reaches two hundred years."
I found it for you before the end of the year."
With Zhou Yang's current strength and wealth, it is not difficult to get a copy of "Purple Heart Chalcedony". He doesn't even need to produce spiritual stones himself, he only needs to contribute the hundreds of thousands of accumulated family points.
After exchanging it for spiritual stones, you can buy two or three copies of "Purple Heart Chalcedony".
As for where the hundreds of thousands of family contribution points he has come from, of course he got them from the fact that he contributed a large number of foundation-building pills and "Condensing Yuan Fruit" trees and other precious treasures to the family.
Moreover, as the supreme elder of the Zhou family, he makes as many as 3,000 points of tribute every year. It has been almost a hundred years since he was promoted to the Purple Mansion. The accumulation of tributes over the years alone amounts to two to three thousand family contribution points.
Although he rarely uses these family contribution points, the family financial elders still record them in his accounts every year.
Next, Zhou Yang rode a golden-winged thunder eagle to inspect all the spiritual mountains and places on Rhinoceros Continent before returning to Lingxi Peak.
By this time, Lu Xuewei had already finished her work. When she saw Zhou Yang coming back, she hurriedly came forward to pay her respects.
After Zhou Yang waited for her to finish her salute, he asked directly: "Xuewei, did your wife tell you anything before she went into seclusion?"
When Lu Xuewei heard him ask this question, she immediately replied respectfully: "Replying to Master, Master Madam told her disciple before the retreat that this retreat may take four to five years to be successful, and told the disciple that if Master
If you come out of seclusion during her retreat time, please wait until she comes out of seclusion before going out."
"I understand, how do you feel about practicing these years? Did the elixirs and elixirs that my master asked Master Zhang to buy for you, were delivered to you?"
Zhou Yang nodded slightly, then changed the subject and asked about this disciple's practice.
"My apprentice has been practicing well these past few years. With the help of the cold spring air in the cave, he has passed two levels in a row and raised his cultivation level to the middle stage of foundation building."
"As for the elixirs and elixirs purchased by Master Zhang on your behalf, my disciple has also received them. However, I don't want to rely too much on these external objects to improve my cultivation. I plan to wait until the speed of cultivation slows down in the future.
Use these foreign objects to help you pass the level!"
Lu Xuewei's pretty face flashed with light, and she looked up at Zhou Yang with a smile on her face, her eyes full of confidence and calmness.
It is said that those who don’t know are not afraid. Although it is impossible to find the most suitable Lingshan Blessed Land for her cultivation in a place like the boundless sand sea, Lu Xuewei’s cultivation speed is still among the best. She is confident that she can have this ability at this age.
Naturally, I feel very satisfied with my cultivation.
Many foundation-building monks at her age have just succeeded in building foundations, and they will have to be almost a hundred years old before they can achieve her level of cultivation.
As for opening the Purple Mansion before she turns 100, it takes who knows how many years for a case to appear in the boundless sea of sand and immortality. Even her most respected and admired master Zhou Yang and her mistress Xiao Ying have not been able to do this. Naturally, she
I haven't thought about this.
And the most rare thing is that 80% of the cultivation she has achieved after building the foundation is based on her own hard work, and she rarely relies on the power of elixirs to practice. This makes her magic foundation compare to those who use it.
People who have improved their cultivation through spiritual pills will become much stronger and their magic power will be more refined.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang was reluctant to say anything to undermine this disciple's self-confidence. He just nodded and said: "There is really no harm in laying a solid foundation in the foundation building stage, but there is no need to regard those spiritual pills that increase cultivation as a scourge.
Just pay attention to controlling the time you take the elixir."
"Disciple understands, thank you Master for your concern."
Lu Xuewei cupped her hands, but her answer was a little perfunctory.
Because Zhou Yang had high expectations for her and often praised her talent for the Golden Elixir when instructing her in her practice, she also established her dream of pursuing the Golden Elixir Path early on.
In order to realize this dream, she has set high standards for herself, for fear that abusing the elixir will ruin her path and miss the path to the great road.
In fact, there are many monks in the world of immortality who think like her, and most of them are monks with the same extraordinary talents as her.
For example, those monks who are born with spiritual bodies rarely take spiritual pills to improve their cultivation during practice. At most, they only take some spiritual fruits and elixirs that have no side effects on the body to increase their magic power, such as Zhou Yang once took.
The third-level high-grade spiritual fruit "Qionghua Biyue Fruit" and the three pieces of "Yunmist Immortal Tea" still stored in the body.
In addition, Zhou Yang also knew that the descendants who were valued by the Golden Core Stage monks and Nascent Soul Stage monks, unless they were low-grade spiritual roots whose spiritual root qualifications could not be cultivated, would try their best to only take some useless substances in the early stages of practice.
Side effects of spiritual things to increase cultivation.
In this way, although the speed of practice in the early stage may be slower than that of some monks who take spiritual pills to increase their cultivation, but when they reach a higher level later, they who have not taken many spiritual pills to improve their cultivation will have the same effect once they take the spiritual pill to increase their cultivation.
It will be several times as many as those monks who often take spiritual pills to practice.
For example, Zhou Yang, he originally thought that he had prepared so many spiritual pills that it would be more than enough to support his cultivation to the ninth floor of the Purple Mansion.
But in fact, because he has been taking a large amount of spiritual pills to improve his cultivation, his body has developed a strong resistance to the spiritual pills. The same spiritual pill that increases his cultivation may only have an effect after he takes it. The actual effect is about 60%.
This resulted in him barely able to raise his cultivation level to the seventh level of the Purple Mansion even if he used up all the spiritual elixirs.
And this kind of drug resistance is harmless to monks. Even if Zhou Yang has the "Qianyang Immortal Light" to temper his body, he cannot reduce his body's drug resistance.
If you want to reduce this kind of drug resistance, you either have to stop taking the magic pill for a long time and use the power of time to dilute it, or you have a great opportunity to get some precious spiritual things that can reduce the body's drug resistance and take it.
Therefore, although Zhou Yang noticed Lu Xuewei's perfunctory behavior, he just frowned and said nothing more.
I just thought that when this girl's practice slows down later, she will naturally change her mind.
Lu Xuewei didn't think so much. After she brushed off the matter, she suddenly gritted her teeth, knelt down and kowtowed to Zhou Yang and said, "Master, I have something to ask Master to agree to!"
Zhou Yang's eyes flashed with surprise, he narrowed his eyes, and couldn't help but ask: "Tell me, what is it that makes you so solemn?"
"Three years ago, my apprentice's fifth brother came to my apprentice, saying that the family's spiritual mountain was no longer enough for the clan, and he wanted to ask my apprentice to help find an oasis in the sand sea around Rhinoceros Island to house the excess monks of the Lu family. "
"Disciple knows that from the moment I become my master, I have nothing to do with the Lu family."
"But after all, the Lu family is the family where disciple was born, and the fifth brother is disciple's biological brother. He is over a hundred years old and has traveled thousands of miles to Xijiaozhou to beg for help from disciple. Disciple really can't bear to refuse his offer. request."
"So my disciple would like to ask Master for your permission to go out and explore the sand sea to find a way out for the Lu family. My disciple promises you, Master, that within five years, no matter how hard you find a new ownerless oasis with spiritual veins, you can find it." , the disciples have finally made an explanation for the Lu family and Fifth Brother!"
Lu Xuewei looked at Zhou Yang with an uneasy look on her face, and spoke her request in a low voice.
The kindness of raising her is greater than that of heaven, not to mention that it was her own father who personally sent her to Zhou Yang in the first place, and personally stated that she would be raised by Zhou Yang.
It was Zhou Yang and the Zhou family who single-handedly raised her and provided resources for her to practice.
Now she has to do things for the Lu family, both emotionally and rationally, which requires Zhou Yang's permission.
After Zhou Yang heard her request, his eyes flickered and he pondered.
After pondering like this for a while, he nodded slightly under her uneasy gaze and said, "Although giving birth to a favor is not as important as cultivating one, you are the daughter of the Lu family after all. Now that the Lu family has begged you, they are asking you to do this kind of thing." It’s really hard to refuse things that are within your ability.”
"Okay, I have agreed to your request. Even if the Lu family wants to move their people here, my Zhou family can also help."
"But Xuewei, you must tell the Lu family clearly that this is the last time you will help them, so that they will not have to rely on you after they have tasted the benefits. In that case, as a teacher, you will be rude to them!"
