Whether it was Zhou Guangxiang's plan or not, her attitude can be seen from the fact that she acquiesced to the plan and asked Li Hong to come to summon him.
However, Zhou Yang was still a little resistant to this kind of thing, and he did not make up his mind to agree to it.
And he knew that although this plan looked good, it was not that easy to succeed.
That Cangyuan Sanren has lived for more than eight hundred years and built the prosperous fairy city of Cangyuan Fairy City against the pressure of all parties in the Yu Kingdom. What conspiracy and conspiracy have you not seen before?
If Zhou Guangxiang and the Zhou family want to play this kind of conspiracy with each other, they may shoot themselves in the foot and be swallowed up by others.
And he has no intention of leaving Haoyang Immortal City at this time, because he still wants to try to reach the golden elixir stage here.
"Guang Xiang's matter can be discussed later. Who knows if the descendants of Cangyuan Sanren are sincere in pursuing her? Even if Guang Xiang is really willing to sacrifice his personal happiness for the sake of the family, we, as elders, must at least ensure that what she entrusts is
That person really loves her!"
"I'll give him ten or eight years to wait and see how sincere he is. If he can't even afford to wait this little time, it means he doesn't love Guangxiang much at all, and I will never agree to this marriage."
"I, Zhou Yang, have single-handedly led the Zhou family to what it is today. Every inch of land was gained with my own swords and guns, not by conspiracy!"
After saying these words righteously, Zhou Yang saw that Xiao Ying seemed to want to say something else, and quickly said: "Besides, my husband plans to go into seclusion for a golden elixir period to accumulate experience and prepare for the real elixir formation in the future. In a short time,
There is definitely no way to leave Haoyang Immortal City within this time."
There is not much risk in attacking the golden elixir stage. Even if it fails, it will only damage some vitality at most, and it can be attacked again in a few decades.
Zhou Yang currently does not have the "Jade Liquid Golden Pill" in his hand, a treasure that can greatly increase the success rate of forming a pill. The several auxiliary pill-forming treasures he currently has can increase his success rate of forming a pill by at most 20%. This success
The rate is not high at all.
Therefore, he had already made a plan. After his cultivation reached the ninth level of the Purple Mansion, he would first try to break into the Golden Core stage without the aid of any treasures, and accumulate experience to prepare for the real pill formation next time.
This is also the most common choice for many monks who reached the ninth level of the Purple Mansion before the age of 300.
The hundreds of years of longevity they have left allow them to fully bear the consequences of failure, and they do not have to rashly use those auxiliary pill-forming spiritual objects for the first pill-forming that has a low chance of success.
On the other hand, those monks who have only raised their cultivation level to the ninth level of the Purple Mansion after they are over four hundred years old, they really cannot bear the consequences of failure, so no matter whether they give up or not, they can only attack the golden elixir for the first time.
When the time comes, I use the auxiliary elixir-forming spiritual objects that I spent a lot of money to buy, hoping to succeed in the first time.
Youth is capital, this saying is also applicable in the world of cultivating immortals.
All in all, Xiao Ying was finally persuaded by Zhou Yang and did not mention leaving Haoyang Fairy City again.
After Zhou Yang convinced Xiao Ying, he thought about it and went to Qingyuan Pavilion.
"I didn't expect that in just twenty years, fellow Daoist Zhou would have made continuous breakthroughs and been promoted to the ninth floor of the Purple Mansion. This speed of cultivation is really enviable to others!"
In the Qingyuan Pavilion, the shopkeeper Jin Qu was overjoyed at first when he saw Zhou Yang coming to the door. When he found out that Zhou Yang's cultivation had reached the ninth level of the Zi Mansion, he was suddenly shocked. He looked at him with a look of shock on his face and was stunned for a long time.
, with a face full of envy just now, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh full of emotion.
"Being able to cultivate to the ninth floor of the Purple Mansion so quickly must be thanked to fellow Taoist Jin. If fellow Taoist had not introduced Zhou to the underground auction, Zhou would not have obtained the treasures there that could greatly improve his cultivation."
Zhou Yang smiled lightly on his face, explained casually, and said no more.
It took more than twenty years to raise the cultivation level from the seventh floor of the Purple Mansion to the ninth floor of the Purple Mansion. Although it was a bit surprising quickly, it was not impossible since various treasures in the world of immortality were emerging one after another to improve one's cultivation level.
This is all chance and privacy that belongs to the individual cultivator. No matter how good the relationship is, no one will inquire about this kind of thing.
Naturally, Jinqu doesn’t know how to do it either.
Hearing Zhou Yang's explanation, he had a strange look in his eyes, and then suddenly said: "Please forgive Jin for being rude. I would like to ask, fellow Taoist Zhou, your life span should not be more than three hundred, right?"
The specific age of a high-level immortal cultivator is difficult for outsiders who have not known him since childhood to tell unless he himself tells it.
This is mainly due to the fact that there are too many elixirs in the world of immortality that can keep people youthful for a long time, and there are also many exercises and magical powers that can help monks maintain their appearance and extend their lifespan.
For example, Zhou Yang, after taking the "Ding Yan Pill", his appearance was fixed and would not change again.
The "Qinghua Sutra" that Xiao Ying practices also has the effect of beautifying the skin. The more advanced she is, the younger and more energetic her appearance and skin will be. Others cannot judge her true identity through her appearance and skin.
age.
There are also some unique skills and magical powers, and even the voice of the immortal cultivator can always be maintained in his youth.
However, although the specific age is difficult to determine, if high-level monks have been in contact with each other for a long time, they can still judge the approximate age of each other from some details.
As the shopkeeper of Qingyuan Pavilion, Jin Qu usually comes into contact with many high-level monks, and he also has his own set of judgment methods in this regard.
When he heard him ask this question, Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment, hesitated, and nodded and said, "Zhou is indeed still a few years short of his 300th birthday."
hiss!
Although he had already guessed it, when he heard Zhou Yang's answer, Jin Qu couldn't help but take a breath.
He is a ninth-level cultivator of the Purple Mansion who is less than three hundred years old. He knows what this means very well, not to mention that Zhou Yang has a vague record of killing golden elixir-level monks, and he is also a fourth-level high-grade weapon refiner!
Jin Qu then thought about the results of his uncle Zhao Hao's investigation into Zhou Yang's origins from a senior brother in charge of intelligence in the sect, and various associations suddenly appeared in his mind.
No matter how you look at it, Zhou Yang’s achievements should not be something that casual cultivators can achieve!
"Maybe he can really become a golden elixir stage monk!"
Jin Qu took one look at Zhou Yang's young and handsome appearance, and couldn't help but sigh with envy in his heart.
Every Zifu monk hopes to become a Golden Core monk with a longevity of a thousand years, and Jinqu is no exception.
However, as time passed year after year after opening the Zifu, watching his cultivation slowly increase bit by bit, and thinking about the difficulty of forming pills, Jin Qu, like many ordinary monks in the Zifu period,
Almost lost confidence.
For ordinary cultivators of the Purple Mansion Stage like them, if they want to successfully form elixirs, unless a great opportunity strikes them, their thoughts will be just thoughts.
And for monks like Zhou Yang who can cultivate to the ninth level of the Purple Mansion before the age of three hundred, the probability of becoming a Golden Core Stage monk is much higher than that of ordinary Purple Mansion Stage monks like them, much, much more.
The Golden Core stage and the Zifu stage may seem to be one step apart. They are both high-level monks, but their status in the world of immortality is completely different.
Originally, Jin Qu wanted to get Zhou Yang to agree to become a mercenary, but now that he knew Zhou Yang's situation, he gave up completely.
He asked himself that if he had Zhou Yang's achievements, he would definitely not risk going to the battlefield to fight a life-or-death battle with monks of the same level.
After giving up on that matter, he couldn't help but focus on making friends with Zhou Yang. If he could establish a deep friendship with Zhou Yang before Zhou Yang formed the elixir, it would undoubtedly be of great help to him in the future.
He rolled his eyes and asked proactively: "Fellow Daoist Zhou is here today. He probably wants to know the specific situation of the battle between the two sides on the battlefield, right?"
After asking, without waiting for Zhou Yang to answer, he enthusiastically took out a jade slip and handed it over and said, "It just so happened that Jin received a detailed battle report from the sect a few days ago. Fellow Daoist Zhou might as well take it and take a look."
"This, this isn't appropriate."
Zhou Yang looked at the jade slip in Jin Qu's hand, hesitated for a moment, and did not immediately reach out to pick it up.
Seeing this, Jin Qu couldn't help laughing and said: "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Zhou, this is just a summary of the battle report. It does not involve any secrets of the sect. Even if the sect discovers the rumor, it is impossible to do anything to a high-priced monk like Jin."
Punishment.”
When Zhou Yang heard this, he stopped being pretentious and immediately took the jade slip and cupped it in his hand, saying, "In that case, Zhou will thank fellow Taoist Jin first."
Next, Zhou Yang asked Jin Qu about renting a cave to form a pill in Haoyang Immortal City. In fact, he also conveyed a message to Jin Qu that he had no intention of leaving Haoyang Immortal City for the time being.
Jin Qu, who had given up the idea of hiring him as a thug, naturally had a tacit understanding at this time and did not mention related matters again.
After such a casual chat, Zhou Yang said goodbye to Jinqu, returned to Taoist companion Xiao Ying's cave, and studied the battle report.
The Qingyuan Sword Sect's battle report is very detailed. It not only records the approximate battle losses of the low-level monks on both sides of the battle, but also the general process of the battle between the two sides. There is also a special analysis article for the fallen high-level monks.
, analyze why he failed, what mistakes he made, what advantages his enemies had, and why they won.
Such a detailed battle report gave Zhou Yang a full understanding of the current war situation, and he also learned the names of many powerful monks and their magical powers. If he meets these people and has a conflict in the future, he can
Responded in advance.
"No matter what Jin Qu's intentions are, I have obtained a lot of information from him over the years, and I have really accepted a favor from him. If he asks for anything in the future, as long as it is not too difficult to do, he still has to return this favor.
That’s all.”
After reading the battle report, Zhou Yang murmured a few words to himself, then put the matter aside and concentrated on picking up another jade slip and reading it.
This jade slip records Xu Song's experience in forming pills. Zhou Yang also has a few similar jade slips that he learned from the golden elixir stage monks he killed or some Zifu stage nine.
