If a golden elixir stage monk enters other fairy cities, he may attract a few more glances and attract the attention of the city's guardians.
But in places like Liuyun Immortal City, you can often see Golden Core monks. When other monks see the Golden Core monks flying on clouds, they will at most cast a look of envy and not pay any more attention to them.
After Zhou Yang left Taoist companion Xiao Ying's cave, he quickly rushed to the official cave rental agency of Liuyun Fairy City and rented a fifth-level cave in the fairy city for a rent of 7,000 low-grade spiritual stones per year. He stayed here for the time being.
He settled down in Liuyunxian City.
A few days after moving into the cave, Lu Xuewei, Zhou Tongxuan and others rushed over to pay him a visit after receiving the news.
It has been forty-five years since we last met, and the cultivation of these juniors has improved greatly.
Among them, Lu Xuewei benefited from the help of the "Ice Crystal Snow Lotus" lotus seeds and other spiritual objects given by Zhou Yang, and her cultivation improved rapidly. In just forty-five years, she went from the first floor of Zifu to the fourth floor of Zifu, almost catching up with Zhou Yang.
Already.
Zhou Tongxuan and other three Zhou family foundation-building monks have also made great progress in their cultivation.
Among them, Zhou Tongxuan was promoted from the original fourth level of foundation building to the seventh level of foundation building, Zhou Zehong was promoted from the original first level of foundation building to the fourth level of foundation building, and Zhou Fujin was promoted from the original second level of foundation building to the fifth level of foundation building.
layer.
With their spiritual root qualifications, they can advance to one level of cultivation in an average of more than ten years. In addition to their own practice and hard work, another important reason is of course that there is no shortage of various miraculous elixirs to take.
As the descendants of the Zhou family who were valued by Zhou Yang and specially brought out to broaden their horizons and experience, they are qualified to receive better treatment than other Zhou family monks.
And through these years of experience, these juniors have indeed made great progress.
The most direct point is that when they faced him, the ancestor of the family, although they were respectful, they were not as reserved and nervous as before, and they were no longer as timid as before.
This made Zhou Yang feel very pleased.
The environment will affect and change a person's personality and the way he treats others. In a place like Liuyun Immortal City where the civilization of cultivating immortals is highly prosperous, a monk in the Qi training period will often see those Zifu monks and even Jindan monks. Over time, naturally,
The awe of these high-level monks was greatly reduced.
This is both a good thing and a bad thing, depending on how you treat it and recognize it.
If Zhou Tongxuan and the others had grown up in a place like Liuyun Immortal City, then Zhou Yang would only describe their so-called calmness and composure as "just an appearance."
The flowers grown in such a greenhouse may look decent at ordinary times, but if they leave the safe and comfortable greenhouse of Liuyun Fairy City and go outside, they will look like flowers.
All you need to do is put a knife on his neck, give him a tube of blood, and teach him how to maintain his grace no matter what, and it would be great if he doesn't kneel on the ground and beg his grandpa and grandma.
But Zhou Tongxuan and the others are different. They come from a small, barren and backward place like the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal World. They have learned about the cruelty of the outside world from the Zhou Family Academy since they were young. They have also left their family to gain experience and experience life and death.
Fighting has a deep understanding of the four words "the strong are respected" in the world of immortality.
Now that they have entered Liuyun Fairy City to experience life, they have been influenced by the environment here and have broadened their horizons and minds. The self-confidence and calmness they have built up from this can really be regarded as the words "the same on the outside and the inside".
"Very good. It seems that the three of you have gained experience. At least in this way, you are much better than before. But my ancestor, I hope that you are not just appearance, but have real materials.
"
"In the future, the Zhou family will have to rely on young people like you to run the family. What I, the ancestor of the family, can do is to help you deter those unruly people, instead of taking care of you like a child and taking care of you."
"I hope you will remember this and never feel comfortable that you can enjoy peace and happiness just because your ancestors are here!"
Zhou Yang looked at the three calm juniors in front of him, a look of satisfaction flashed on his face, and he encouraged and warned them in an earnest tone.
Although he knew that his warning might not be heard by all Zhou family members, as long as most people could listen, and as long as the people in power of the Zhou family could listen, it would be fine.
The three of them, Zhou Tongxuan, have this experience in the immortal world in Liuyun Continent. After returning to the Zhou family, they will definitely become powerful figures in the Zhou family.
When Zhou Tongxuan and the others heard what he said, their expressions immediately straightened, and they quickly bowed and saluted: "My grandchildren, you must remember the teachings of your ancestors, or you may not dare to forget them!"
"Okay, you three go back first. We will stay in Liuyunxian City for a while. When we return to the family, I will inform you, ancestor!"
Zhou Yang waved his hand and asked the three juniors of the same race to step aside first, and then his eyes fell on his disciple Lu Xuewei.
"Your teacher's wife said that in recent years you have rarely practiced in her cave. You often go out for several years at a time, and you often come back with injuries. When she asks you what happened, you don't say anything. Now that my teacher asks you, you don't either.
Are you ready to say it?"
Zhou Yang looked at this female apprentice with deep eyes. As her cultivation deepened, due to the influence of her ice spirit root and the skills she practiced, her cold temperament, like frost and snow, became more and more obvious.
Although the cultivators of immortality will be affected by the martial arts to some extent, their temperament is biased towards the attributes of their own martial arts. For example, the temperament of the cultivators of the fire system will be more domineering and fiery, the temperament of the monks of the gold system will be more sharp and sharp, and the temperament of the cultivators of the wood system will be more sharp.
Peaceful and natural.
But if the temperament is too deeply affected by the exercises, it is not a good thing, and if it is not handled well, it is a big bad thing.
For example, if a cultivator of the fire system is deeply affected by the martial arts, his personality will be very irritable and irritable, and he will often make enemies for himself over trivial matters.
If you continue like this, you may even go crazy, unable to control the violent anger in your body and set yourself on fire.
If an ice-based martial arts cultivator like Lu Xuewei is too deeply affected by the martial arts, his personality will gradually become like a piece of solid ice, weak in friendship and unable to communicate. He may also become obsessed and turn himself into an eternal ice sculpture.
.
Of course, with Lu Xuewei's cultivation level, it would not be like this, otherwise Zhou Yang would not be as simple as talking to her.
At this time, after listening to Zhou Yang's words, Lu Xuewei suddenly knelt down on the ground, kowtowed deeply to him and said: "Master, please forgive me. I don't want to tell my wife. In addition to fearing that she will worry, I also know that she
She can't help my disciple, so why should she worry about my disciple's affairs?"
"Now that the master has returned, the disciple will naturally confess everything to the master and ask the master to uphold justice for the disciple!"
Zhou Yang's expression changed, but he didn't expect that there was such an inside story.
He looked at Lu Xuewei solemnly and said in a deep voice: "Tell me the truth. If someone really bullies you, my teacher will naturally seek justice for you!"
After getting his promise, Lu Xuewei immediately explained the matter from beginning to end.
It turned out that more than ten years ago, when she teamed up with three other Zifu period monks to hunt monsters, they accidentally discovered an extremely rare fifth-order spiritual object in an underwater cave where a fourth-order high-grade monster lived.
"Shui Po Xuan Jing Stone".
Originally, before the monster hunt, a few people had agreed that all the treasures obtained from the monster hunt would be divided equally.
However, the appearance of a rare fifth-level spiritual object like the "Water Soul Mysterious Essence Stone" made this agreement invalid.
You must know that "Water Soul Black Essence Stone" is a very precious material for refining weapons. It is one of the best materials that can be found by monks in the golden elixir stage of water-based exercises to refine natal magic weapons. A piece as big as a fist can be sold.
The sky-high price of two to three hundred thousand low-grade spiritual stones.
But the "Water Soul Mysterious Essence Stone" that Lu Xuewei and the others found in the underwater monster cave was as big as a washbasin and was worth at least a million low-grade spiritual stones!
In the face of such a precious treasure, what effect can a verbal agreement have?
Therefore, for the ownership of that large piece of "Water Soul Mysterious Essence Stone", the four monks who had previously fought side by side split into two sides and faced each other with swords.
Lu Xuewei relied on the various treasures given by Zhou Yang, and it was not difficult to obtain the treasures.
But she didn't expect that when she defeated other competitors and was about to win the treasure, the monk she had been working with suddenly betrayed her and severely injured her in a sneak attack. She could only regret missing the treasure and escape with injuries.
By the time she escaped back to Liuyunxian City, recovered from her injuries, and came to seek revenge, the man had already dedicated the "Shui Po Xuan Jing Stone" to a Jin Dan ancestor of the Jin Dan family, and thus became attached to her.
That Jindan family became the son-in-law of his family.
Needless to say what happened next, Lu Xuewei was naturally unwilling to let it go and quietly lurked in search of revenge.
But her enemy was much more cunning than she was. He had known for a long time that she would not give up, so he deliberately set up a counter-ambush against her.
If Lu Xuewei hadn't carried many magical talismans given by Zhou Yang, and the life-saving healing elixir Xiao Ying had prepared for her, I'm afraid she would have told her on the spot.
In the past ten years, Lu Xuewei has made several attempts, but she has not obtained any benefits. Instead, she has been injured many times by her opponents with the help of her family, and all the spiritual talismans given to her by Zhou Yang have been consumed.
"Master, you often teach us that monks like us should be willing to repay kindness and revenge, and we must repay any kindness and revenge. I am so speechless that I really can't calm down to practice!"
Lu Xuewei said these words with a cold face, a rage of anger hidden in her heart with nowhere to vent, and her brows and eyes were filled with evil spirits.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang frowned, but he didn't expect that his apprentice would still have such a character that does not require revenge overnight.
This kind of character cannot be said to be bad, but it can be said that it is two extremes compared to the gentleman he believes in. It is never too late to take revenge after ten years.
If Lu Xuewei encountered something like this, if it were him, he would have first worked hard to improve his cultivation, and then used his cultivation to crush the enemy.
In fact, Lu Xuewei has this ability. She has excellent qualifications. As long as she is willing to work hard and practice hard, it is possible to reach the eighth or ninth floor of the Purple Mansion within a hundred years.
By then her enemy must have relaxed her vigilance, and with her cultivation at that time, she could easily kill her enemy without the Golden Core Stage monks taking action.
"Okay, the matter is clear to me. When I am about to leave Liuyun Immortal City, I will take you to the Guo family and let you settle this grudge with your own hands!"
"But before that, just calm down and practice, and don't think about it anymore."
After Zhou Yang frowned and pondered for a while, he suddenly waved his hand and expressed his decision.
He usually doesn't make decisions easily, but the decisions he makes are always consistent.
As his disciple, Lu Xuewei grew up with him, so she naturally understands this.
Therefore, she didn't say anything more and just said in response: "Disciple, I will obey my master's orders."
"Go down and admit your mistake to your mistress. She has always been very soft-hearted and will definitely forgive you."
Zhou Yang waved his hand and sent this apprentice away.
After meeting several juniors, Zhou Yang started busy with his own affairs.
He went straight to the largest shops on Liuyunxian Mountain to buy the spiritual items he needed.
Zhou Yang plans to purchase spiritual objects to refine a set of flying swords, of course the fifth-level flying swords.
To refine such a set of flying swords, you don't have enough materials.
He now has some materials in his hands, but he still lacks other materials.
These materials may be difficult to find in other places, but here in Liuyun Immortal City, Zhou Yanghua successfully bought the materials he wanted after going out to get close to 700,000 low-grade spiritual stones.
Fortunately, Xiao Ying helped Liu's Alchemy Workshop to refine alchemy over the years and accumulated two to three hundred thousand low-grade spiritual stones. Otherwise, if Zhou Yang spent such a large amount of spiritual stones, the remaining spiritual stones might not be enough for him to buy those auxiliary pill-forming spiritual objects.
use.
Of course, spending women's money still made Zhou Yang a little embarrassed, so he got rid of all the poisonous dragon materials that he had cooperated with Jiang Fengxian to kill in Kunxu Realm in a shop, so he returned fifty
More than 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones.
Not long after, he participated in an auction in Liuyun Immortal City and purchased three copies of "Purple Heart Chalcedony" at the price of 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones.
Soon, good news came from Xiao Ying's side. After accepting her commission, the Liu family behind Liu's Danfang had found two kinds of spiritual objects to assist in forming pills elsewhere, and through the "Liuyun Merchant Alliance"
Channels are coming fast for her.
These two spiritual objects are a drop of "Zhimu Spiritual Liquid" and the "Golden Berry" that Zhou Yang once used.
In this way, counting the "Ice and Fire Spiritual Liquid" that Zhou Yang had not used at the beginning, Xiao Ying also had three auxiliary elixir-forming spiritual objects even if she did not use the "Jade Liquid Golden Pill".
In order to purchase these two spiritual objects, Zhou Yang paid a total of 760,000 low-grade spiritual stones, almost wiping out his and Xiao Ying's wealth.
After getting the things, Xiao Ying went into retreat in Zhou Yang's cave to prepare for elixir formation. Zhou Yang protected her while continuing to practice the magical power of "Nirvana and Burning Soul Divine Light".
Five years later, there was no news about Xiao Ying who was in seclusion to form alchemy, but Zhou Yang had successfully mastered the magical power of "Nirvana and Burning Soul Divine Light". From now on, as long as he often takes time to practice this magical power, he can do it in less than a hundred years.
To achieve a small amount of magical power.
And at this time, there was finally news about the Xuanyang Immortal Sect, which Zhou Yang had been paying close attention to.
After several years of negotiations, Xuanyang Immortal Sect still chose to compromise and voluntarily gave up control of more than a dozen rare mineral veins, including two large spirit stone mines and a medium-sized "Kongming Stone" mine, and handed them over to those who were dealing with the "Kong Ming Stone" mine.
In the battle of "Splitting the Heavenly Demon", various sects suffered heavy losses and suffered heavy losses.
At the same time, the Xuanyang Immortal Sect was forced to abandon hundreds of spiritual mountains outside Daoxuan Kingdom, including even seven fifth-level spiritual mountains.
But these prices are actually nothing. The biggest price Xuanyang Immortal Sect paid to quell this storm was that Lu Xuanji, a ninth-level Nascent Soul "half-step true immortal", swore in front of many monks of the same level that the rest of his life would be
The "Splitting Heaven Demon" that has been used to hunt and escape is no longer concerned with Xuanyang Immortal Sect's affairs. In fact, it is tantamount to leaving Xuanyang Immortal Sect.
In addition, Master Yunxiao of the Xuanyang Immortal Sect, who originally vowed to wipe out all demonic cultivators in the Immortal Cultivation World of Liuyun Continent, is also no longer able to manage the affairs of the sect.
As a result, the only Nascent Soul stage monks who can still take the lead in Xuanyang Immortal Sect are the four Yuanying Stage monks including Zhenren Qingyang and Zhenren Huayang.
In terms of quantity, the four Nascent Soul stage monks are still enough to maintain Xuanyang Immortal Sect's reputation as the top sect, but they are completely incomparable to the previous sect's illustrious power of Nine Masters.
Moreover, after giving up so many resource points and Lingshan territory this time, the intensity of cultivating the younger disciples of Xuanyang Immortal Sect in the future may not be comparable to before.
In short, Xuanyang Immortal Sect has really suffered a serious setback this time, and it is basically impossible to return to its previous momentum in a short period of time.
When Zhou Yang learned the news, a letter was also delivered to him.
The letter was sent to him by Master Qingyang, and the content of the letter was a detailed plan of the matters he had discussed with Lu Xuanmi.
According to the above description, if he is willing to secretly work for Xuanyang Immortal Sect, Xuanyang Immortal Sect will not only give him the status of a guest elder, but also arrange a fifth-level high-grade spiritual mountain for him to use as a shelter through their ally Yuqing Dao Sect.
place.
And if he wants to establish power, Xuanyang Immortal Sect can provide him with three foundation-building pills at market price every ten years and a "Purple Heart Chalcedony" every fifty years. Even if he helps Xuanyang
If the Immortal Sect solves certain big problems, it can also obtain the qualification to purchase the "Jade Liquid Golden Pill".
These benefits are by no means ungenerous.
Even the vassal Jindan families under the Xuanyang Immortal Sect are treated no more than this.
At the end of the letter, Master Qingyang also said one thing, that is, in two years, Lu Xuanji will go to the far west with Yin Hanguang to cultivate the immortal world, and help Yin Hanguang compete for the position of the master of the Great Guangming Immortal Palace.
If he is interested, Lu Xuanji is willing to give him a ride.
Zhou Yang couldn't help but fell silent after reading the letter.
When he calmed down and thought over the past few years, he also figured out why Lu Xuanji and Master Qingyang were willing to work hard to win over him.
Obviously, during his trip to the "Qiongtian Wonderland", he exposed his trump cards such as the "Qian Yang Baozhu" and the "Nirvana" magical power. In the eyes of Yuanying stage monks such as Lu Xuanji and Qingyang Zhenren, he has changed from the original one who can only use it.
A one-time "disposable item" has become an important chess piece that can be used for a long time.
In particular, he has grown up now and can be used to do things at any time. The resources invested in him no longer need to wait for a long time to recover the cost as before, but the results can be seen immediately.
What's even better is that he still has great potential and has a good chance of reaching the Nascent Soul stage in the future.
The Xuanyang Immortal Sect has suffered heavy losses in terms of top-level monks this time and urgently needs to fill the gap in this area. However, there are currently only a few disciples in their own sect who are expected to reach the Nascent Soul Stage.
Even if they start now and select talented disciples from the youngest generation of the sect to train them regardless of the loss of resources, they will not be able to train a Nascent Soul stage monk for hundreds or even thousands of years.
At this time, a talented monk like Zhou Yang, who has a close relationship with their Xuanyang Immortal Sect and is trustworthy, has naturally become another alternative for them to fill the gap.
If Zhou Yang is able to have a baby in the future, the Xuanyang Immortal Sect, which has established a relationship of dependence with him before he has a baby, can naturally easily draw him into the sect and become its guest prince and elder.
Even though he has not yet given birth to a baby, with his combat power far exceeding that of monks of the same level, the resources Xuanyang Immortal Sect invested in him can also obtain sufficient returns in other aspects.
Zhou Yang, who understood this, did not feel angry because he was being taken advantage of, but felt very at ease.
In the past, he accepted Master Qingyang's kindness, but he didn't know how to repay him. Whenever he thought of this kind of thing, he felt uneasy and extremely uneasy.
What happened later proved that he was right to worry, because he was never able to repay the kindness of Qingyang Zhenren and Lu Xuanji, and he finally had to risk a narrow escape to follow them to the "Sky Sky Wonderland" to slay demons.
But now if he agrees to the conditions of Master Qingyang, the two parties will form a substantial mutually beneficial relationship. Xuanyang Immortal Sect will give him benefits, and he will do things with the benefits. Neither party will owe the other, but they will not dilute each other.
There is no need for him to bear any moral pressure.
Therefore, Zhou Yang did not hesitate long before he replied to the letter to Master Qingyang. The letter stated his decision to work for Xuanyang Immortal Sect, and then passed the letter through the hands of Xuanyang Immortal Sect's intelligence personnel in Liuyun Immortal City.
Forwarded to Master Qingyang.
Soon after, a reply from Master Qingyang came back, saying that he could take over the fifth-level high-grade Lingshan Mountain at any time.
However, Zhou Yang also planned to return to the boundless sand sea to cultivate immortality after Taoist companion Xiao Ying's retreat, so he put this matter aside for the time being and was not in a hurry to do it.
A year and a half later, Xiao Ying's formation of pills came to fruition. After using three auxiliary spiritual objects, she still failed.
However, with the help of three kinds of spiritual objects, she made it to the second step of forming an elixir for the first time. The next time she tries to form an elixir, as long as she can find one that is more effective than the "golden berry"
Strengthen the soul and spiritual objects, and with the assistance of "Jade Liquid Golden Pill", there will definitely be no problem in successfully forming the pill.
"It doesn't matter if you fail once. My husband also failed twice before he succeeded!"
"Next, Ying'er, you can recuperate in Liuyunxian City. My husband will take Tongxuan and the others back to the family to deal with some matters. After the matter is settled, he will come back to accompany you."
"Also, you can continue to ask the Liu family to help search for spiritual objects that can strengthen the soul. Regardless of whether the price is high or not, my husband will definitely come back with enough spiritual stones when he returns to the family this time."
In the cave, Zhou Yang looked at the Taoist monk who had hurt her Dantian due to the failure to form the elixir, causing her face to look a little pale. He grabbed her palm distressedly and comforted her, while telling him that he was going to follow Lu Xuanji back to the boundless sand sea to cultivate immortality.
informed her.
Naturally, he did not hide anything about his cooperation with the Xuanyang Immortal Sect to stay in Liuyun Continent and develop the immortal world. He told the truth.
His frankness made Xiao Ying feel at ease. After hearing this, she quickly smiled softly and said: "I understand, husband, your business is more important. I will take good care of my injuries and wait for my husband to come back."
So, after chatting with the Taoist companion for a while, Zhou Yang stopped disturbing Xiao Ying's recovery and left the cave to summon his disciple Lu Xuewei.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to leave Liuyun Immortal City, he wanted to help this disciple avenge his revenge. Otherwise, this disciple would remain angry, which would be very detrimental to his future practice.
Of course, he would not use his current appearance to seek revenge, as that would expose his relationship with Taoist companion Xiao Ying and bring a lot of trouble to Xiao Ying's life in Liuyun Fairy City.
