Chapter fifty-six: suffering is a blessing

"I know, you must be wondering why I suggested that you take the initiative to sell a favor to Chen Pingzhi."

"But Xiaojiu, I will tell you something today. Suffering a loss is not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes we suffer a temporary loss in order to earn greater benefits!"

"I have known Chen Pingzhi for decades, and I know very well that this person looks easygoing and plain on the outside, but in fact he is extremely arrogant and greedy in his heart. Today you succeeded in building the foundation with the help of his cave. No matter how many benefits I gave him before, he will

It will definitely feel like it’s not enough.”

"So if you don't betray him today, when the Chen family needs to make a decision that affects the interests of my Zhou family, this person may secretly cause harm."

"Looking at it from the other side, you sold him a favor today, whether he thought you were a friend or because he wanted to be able to use this favor in the future when the Chen family needs to make decisions related to my Zhou family.

, as long as it does not involve his own interests, he will definitely be willing to say a few good words for us."

"Finally, although Chen Pingzhi is not a great person, his half-brother Chen Ping'an is worthy of our Zhou family's efforts to make friends."

"Chen Ping'an has a great chance of opening the Purple Mansion. If our Zhou family can establish a relationship with him before he opens the Purple Mansion, then when the ancestor Chen Yaohui dies and he takes over the Chen family, our Zhou family will not be in trouble.

Marginalized and squeezed out of the Chen family's alliance circle."

In the quiet room on Jingming Peak, the old patriarchs Zhou Minghan and Zhou Yang sat facing each other on the ground, one talking and the other listening, still talking about what happened on the White Camel Peak.

"Hearing what my great-grandfather said, my grandson understood that on the surface, I owed him Chen Pingzhi a favor, but in fact, having this favor meant that I had value in Chen Pingzhi's eyes and became a relationship of interest with him.

body."

"Since we are related parties, as long as I don't make enemies with him, Chen Pingzhi, with this favor, he will become a reliable ally and eyes and ears of me in the Chen family. Before the favor is used, he will definitely be the last person that the Chen family wants me to be."

Dead people!"

Zhou Yang looked at the old patriarch sitting opposite him, his eyes full of admiration.

Sure enough, Jiang is still very old. Compared with the old patriarch, a senior foundation-building monk who has been in charge of the family for hundreds of years, he indeed still has a long way to go.

"Interested parties? This sentence is quite appropriate! It seems that you really understand, Xiaojiu."

Zhou Minghan's eyes lit up, and he was quite pleased that Zhou Yang understood his words so quickly, and secretly sighed that he had indeed not chosen the wrong person.

But he asked Zhou Yang to come to the quiet room not just for this matter.

I saw a flash of light in his eyes, and he looked at Zhou Yang with piercing eyes and asked: "There were some questions at White Camelback that I couldn't ask in the past. Now Xiaojiu, you can tell me, after you established the foundation, did you have any awakening treasures?"

Physical and supernatural powers?”

Zhou Yang had long expected that the old patriarch would ask such a question, so he didn't answer immediately. He stretched out his hand, and a ball of light golden real fire appeared on his palm.

"Is this...could this be it?"

Zhou Minghan's eyes suddenly condensed, and he looked at the light golden true fire in Zhou Yang's hand with a shocked face.

The pale golden true fire was only as big as a fist, but with his cultivation at the seventh level of foundation building, he felt a faint threat after seeing the pale golden true fire released by Zhou Yang.

"Great-grandfather guessed it right, this is [Qianyang True Fire]!" Zhou Yang nodded slightly and helped Zhou Minghan say what he had not said.

"No wonder, no wonder, no wonder your weapon refining talent is so outstanding! It turns out that you have a [Qianyang Treasure Body] constitution!" Zhou Minghan muttered to himself in a daze, his eyes full of surprise.

"Qianyang True Fire" is one of the most suitable true fires for refining weapons. A person with a "Qianyang Treasure Body" will definitely be an excellent weapon refiner. This is something the world of immortality knows about the treasure body. News that everyone knows.

It's just that the treasure body is too rare. A monk with a treasure body is not like a monk with a spirit body who can definitely build the foundation and form elixirs. Therefore, most immortal cultivators will rarely see someone who has mastered the treasure body in their lifetime. A treasure-body monk with magical powers.

It was also the "Qianyang True Fire" that had gained great fame in the boundless sand sea cultivation world, which made the old patriarch Zhou Minghan associate it with it at the first sight. Otherwise, Zhou Yang might not have known about this pale golden flame if Zhou Yang hadn't told him. The true origin of.

"Okay, okay! What a [Qianyang Treasure Body], the Zhou family will be prosperous, and my Zhou family will be prosperous!"

Zhou Minghan came back to his senses and immediately cheered excitedly. His face was full of excitement, even more excited than when Zhou Yang learned that he was pregnant with the "Qian Yang Treasure Body".

"The [Qian Yang Treasure Body] and even the Yang Zhi Yang Body are no worse than the [Xuan Yang Spirit Body] among the spiritual bodies. It just so happens that among the foundation building techniques collected by the family, there is a copy of "Golden Light Fierce Yang Technique" that can Let you practice."

"Although this technique is a fragment, it is an advanced technique that can be practiced to the golden elixir stage. It is especially suitable for monks whose spiritual root attributes tend to be gold and fire. Xiaojiu, as long as you complete this technique, you will be able to practice it in the future. His fighting ability is far superior to that of monks of the same level."

He looked at Zhou Yang with excitement and said that he had already arranged Zhou Yang's future practice skills.

Judging from his excitement, if he hadn't been carrying the Jade Slip of the Kung Fu, he would have taken it out and stuffed it into Zhou Yang's hand right now.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang was a little helpless. The "Qian Yang Immortal Sutra" was of great importance. Even if he firmly believed that the old patriarch would not harm him, it was inconvenient to tell him about it.

At that moment, he could only put away the real fire in his hand and responded vaguely: "What my great-grandfather said is that my grandson will just listen to your arrangements."

Anyway, outsiders who are not particularly familiar with this kind of technique can't tell what kind of skills a cultivator practices. Since the "Golden Light and Fierce Sun Technique" also cultivates gold and fire, it can just help him cover up the "Qianyang Immortal Sutra" The presence.

Zhou Minghan looked a little happier when he saw that he had no objection. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, the matter of practicing the exercises has been decided. Now let's talk about your adoptive mother."

Speaking of Zhou Yang's adoptive mother Zhou Xuanyu, Zhou Minghan's smile faded, he opened his hand with a heavy expression, took out a two-finger-wide flying sword fragment and threw it to Zhou Yang.

"This fragment was found by Xuantai and others in a fighting ruins when they were searching for Yu'er and other missing persons. The aura on it was left by Yu'er."

What!

Zhou Yang's expression changed greatly as he took the fragment of the flying sword and inspected it carefully. He was speechless for a long time.

The old patriarch did not lie to him. The aura on the flying sword fragments was left by his adoptive mother Zhou Xuanyu.

Maybe just a flying sword fragment with Zhou Xuanyu's aura can't prove anything. However, when even the second-level high-grade flying sword was shattered, it can be seen that Zhou Xuanyu's disappearance is probably more serious than bad.

Zhou Yang was actually not surprised by this result. He had already made this preparation in his mind when he waited for Zhou Xuanyu to come and reunite at Jinxia Mountain.

Just because he wasn't surprised didn't mean he wasn't uncomfortable after learning the result.

Taking a closer look at the entire Zhou family, apart from his parents, his adoptive mother Zhou Xuanyu is the best and dearest person to him. This adoptive mother loves him even more than his own children. He has been able to defeat the bandits several times.

Thanks also to the talismans given to him by his adoptive mother.

Now that he saw the relics of his adoptive mother from the hands of the old patriarch, even though he had successfully built the foundation and initially embarked on the path to transcendence, he felt sad and couldn't help but shed tears.

Immortal cultivators are also human beings, and they are human beings with seven emotions and six desires. There are only a very small number of immortal cultivators in this world who are able to "forget all emotions".

Zhou Yang doesn't think there's anything wrong with crying as a dignified Foundation-Building monk. It's true that he cultivates immortality in order to seek immortality, but if immortality requires the elimination of human nature, immortality requires disrespect for human ethics, and immortality requires ruthlessness, then this

It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t ask for immortality!

"Great-grandfather, if the Chen family finds the lair of those bandits in the future, please don't stop your grandson. Your grandson must avenge his adoptive mother with his own hands!"

He looked at the old patriarch Zhou Minghan with red eyes, full of hatred.

"Okay, I promise you, and I will accompany you when the time comes. Yu'er is not only your adoptive mother, she is also my granddaughter!"

Zhou Minghan nodded with a heavy face, with both relief and hatred in his eyes.

The relief was naturally due to Zhou Yang's gratitude, and the hatred was of course towards those bandits. As Zhou Xuanyu's biological grandfather, he wanted to kill all those bandits more than anyone else to avenge his granddaughter.

It's a pity that those bandits came and went without a trace. They wanted to take revenge, but they couldn't find anyone for the time being.

During the month of Zhou Yang's retreat to build the foundation, the ancestor of the Chen family had mobilized all the forces the Chen family could use to search for traces of those attacking bandits. The entire Baisha River oasis and the surrounding sand sea were almost turned over by the monks of the Chen family.

.

However, those bandits seemed to have disappeared from the world. No matter how hard the monks of the Chen family searched, they could not find a trace of their whereabouts.

The whereabouts of the sand bandits could not be found. Even if the ancestor of the Chen family was very angry, he could only temporarily suppress his anger and deal with the aftermath.

Although the Zhou family and other small families suffered a lot from this attack by the sand bandits, the biggest losses were undoubtedly caused by the Chen family and the Immortal Cultivator family attached to the Chen family on the Baisha River Oasis.

Originally, there were four foundation-building families and dozens of small qi-training families attached to the Chen family on the Baisha River oasis. Except for the foundation-building monks from the two families who promptly led some of the family elites to abandon their family spiritual mountains and escape with their lives, the remaining two foundation-building families were

The whole family and most of the Qi practicing families were wiped out by the sand bandits!

These exterminated families were all related to the Chen family, and they were the most reliable allies of the Chen family.

Nowadays, these families have been wiped out and suffered heavy losses. As their patriarchal family, the Chen family must avenge them and provide resources to rebuild the family, both emotionally and rationally.

In addition, the destroyed Jinshafang Market must be rebuilt in a selected location, otherwise the market will not provide trading opportunities for a long time, and the casual cultivators around who rely on the market to make a living may cause trouble.

Each of these things cost a lot of spirit stones and resources. If it weren't for the fact that he had just earned hundreds of thousands of spirit stones by selling foundation-building pills, the ancestor of the Chen family would probably have to show his face to other families right now.

Got a loan.
