The Chen family was busy dealing with the aftermath, and the Zhou family and other families on Jingyang Peak seemed to have been forgotten. There was no important Chen family monk who came out to say what to do next.
And if the Chen family doesn't give out a charter, the Zhou family and other senior family members won't be able to leave immediately. Who knows if they are halfway there, and the Chen family sends a message to everyone to come back to discuss the suppression of bandits. That would be frustrating.
This is very painful for Zhou Yang.
Jingming Peak was not a suitable place for practice, and after he established the foundation, he could no longer break his previous agreement to absorb the spiritual energy from the mountain to practice, so he put the matter of switching to the "Qian Yang Immortal Sutra" on hold.
Seeing that there was no way to switch to practicing Kung Fu for the time being, Zhou Yang had no choice but to put his energy into other aspects.
After getting the seventh-level magic weapon "Qian Yang Baozhu" that day, he didn't have much time to study the treasure before he was forced to leave the retreat room. Now that he has some free time, he naturally wants to make this matter his top priority. .
Speaking of which, although this "Qian Yang Baozhu" has recognized him as its master, he doesn't even have the ability to move this magic weapon.
Ever since the orb entered his Dantian Qi Sea, it has been quietly staying in the small pond formed by his magic power, silently accepting the warmth of his magic power.
High-level magic weapons of the fifth level and above can be kept in the body of cultivators. As a seventh-level magic weapon, the "Qianyang Orb" is no longer one percent of its original power, but the essence of its seventh-level magic weapon is still the same. exist.
As long as Zhou Yang uses his magic power to warm up this magic weapon for a long time, the power of the magic weapon will slowly recover. In the future, let alone restoring its full power, as long as it recovers 30% of its power, it will be no more powerful than a sixth-level magic weapon. The instrument is bad.
But when that day comes, Zhou Yang estimates that he will be able to refine a sixth-level magic weapon, and he may not really value this magic weapon refined by others.
In short, the orb has only two functions for him now.
The first function is to assist in practice. After Zhou Yang turns to practice the "Qian Yang Immortal Sutra", he can activate the orb to release the "Qian Yang Immortal Light" to temper his own mana and physical body, improving the purity of his mana essence and the strength of his body.
The second function is to increase the power of the "Qian Yang True Fire". Zhou Yang released the "Qian Yang True Fire" that day and was able to melt the mysterious ore wrapping the orb because the orb increased the power of the real fire.
Otherwise, the "Qianyang True Fire" emitted by his foundation-building period cultivation may not necessarily be able to melt the mysterious ore.
If the "True Qianyang Fire" before being amplified by the orb only gave a monk like Zhou Minghan a faint sense of threat in the late stage of foundation building, then the "True Qianyang Fire" after being amplified by the orb can definitely have the ability to inflict heavy damage or even kill the foundation. The power of the late-stage monks.
But the premise of all this is that in the later stage of foundation building, the monks will stupidly pick up his amplified "Qianyang True Fire" attack.
And among the monks who can practice to the late stage of foundation building, who is not a human being who has lived for hundreds of years? How could he forcefully take over his "Qianyang True Fire", which is so powerful at first glance, without knowing the details?
Of course, no matter what, the "Qianyang True Fire" after the amplification of the orb is Zhou Yang's ultimate move.
With this ultimate move, at least when facing monks in the later stages of foundation building, he has the capital to make them fearful. He will not let them be slaughtered like ordinary monks who are new to foundation building, and he has no power to fight back.
Zhou Yang is quite satisfied with the two abilities of "Qian Yang Baozhu". You can't be too greedy. It is simply unrealistic to expect that you can meet gods and kill gods and meet demons and kill demons with an immortal weapon.
After all, a magic weapon is a magic weapon. No matter how powerful the magic weapon is, it must be controlled by people. If you don't even have the ability to activate the magic weapon, how can you talk about killing gods when encountering gods or destroying demons when encountering demons?
The world of cultivating immortals has developed to this day, and there have been more than a dozen true immortals who have transcended the tribulation stage. Every true immortal who has transcended the tribulation stage is almost the one who dominates the world of immortality.
But Zhou Yang has never heard of any disciples or family descendants of the True Immortals in the Tribulation Stage who can rely on these True Immortals in the Tribulation Stage after they ascend to the upper world or die. The magical weapons they left behind protect the foundation and continue to dominate the world of immortality.
No one in Zhou Yang intends to tell anyone about the existence of the "Qianyang Pearl". The seventh-level magic weapon has too much to do with it. Any leakage of the news will bring disaster to him and the entire Zhou family.
But the other thing in his hand can be shared with the family's foundation-building monks.
He stretched out his hand and patted the storage bag, and a green-black stone appeared in his hand. This green-black stone was the result of the melting of the mysterious ore that originally wrapped the "Qian Yang Orb". The origin of this object is unknown. , is likely to come from the upper world like the "Qian Yang Baozhu".
At that time, Zhou Yang had no time to study the function of this stone. Now that he is free, as a weapon refiner, he will certainly not miss the opportunity to study this kind of treasure.
"Although this object does not contain any spiritual energy and cannot be refined into a magical weapon, its isolating effect on spiritual consciousness is much stronger than the third-level spiritual object [Forbidden God Stone]. If it is refined into a mask and worn on the face , in the future, whether you are participating in an underground trade fair or doing something that cannot be seen in person, you can hide your identity and reduce the chance of being discovered."
The blue-black stone may not seem big, but it weighs a lot. To refine a mask, you only need a piece as big as your fist. After Zhou Yang melted the stone with the enhanced "Qianyang True Fire", he refined a total of He made five animal face masks: dragon, phoenix, tiger, turtle and unicorn, and gave the "tiger face" among them to the old patriarch Zhou Minghan.
"[Qianyang True Fire] is indeed well-deserved. I didn't expect you to refine things that even earth fire can't refine. It seems that after returning to the family, I can pass on all the refining weapons I got." Passed to you!"
After Zhou Minghan received the tiger face mask as a gift from Zhou Yang, he was really envious.
As a weapon refiner, who doesn’t want to master a powerful flame?
It should be noted that although earth fire is easy to use, it cannot be carried with you, and it cannot be changed freely like a monk's real fire. When refining third-level magic weapons and elixirs, it will actually lower the success rate. of.
The reason why weapon refiners and alchemists choose earth fire to refine weapons and elixirs is completely out of desperation. If their own true fire can be as powerful as "Qianyang True Fire", they are not willing to use earth fire to refine weapons and elixirs. .
When Zhou Yang heard the old patriarch's words, he felt happy. He had known for a long time that the reason why the old patriarch Zhou Minghan was able to become a third-level high-grade weapon refiner was because he discovered a senior monk's cave in the sea of sand in his early years, and learned from it. He received the inheritance of the weapon refining technique from a fourth-level weapon refiner.
This inheritance of weapon refining techniques can be said to be the most precious thing of the Zhou family. Ever since Zhou Minghan obtained it, he kept the inheritance in his own cave and never took it out of the cave.
Now that Zhou Minghan said that he would hand over the inheritance to him, he obviously fully recognized him and truly started to hand over the inheritance to him.
And if he can read the weapon refining inheritance left by a fourth-level weapon refiner, his weapon refining skills will definitely be greatly improved, and he may be able to take this opportunity to be promoted to a third-level weapon refiner in one fell swoop.
There are dozens of foundation-building monks in the Immortal Cultivation World around the Baisha River Oasis, and there are also more than a dozen Foundation-building Immortal Cultivation Families, but third-level weapon refiners are only available in three families: the Chen family, the Zhou family, and the Liu family.
The inheritance of the weapon refiner is only available to the Zhou family.
As long as Zhou Yang becomes a third-level weapon refiner, even if his cultivation level is only at the foundation level, his status will become extraordinary, which will bring countless conveniences when dealing with other foundation level monks in the future.
"My great-grandfather loves me so much, my grandson..."
Zhou Yang was delighted and wanted to say something, but before he could finish his words, a strange voice suddenly came from outside the yard.
"Brother Minghan, are you at home? Brother Liu and Brother Yang heard that the Zhou family has added a new member of the Foundation Establishment Group, so they came here to congratulate him."
Um?
Zhou Yang frowned, and immediately scanned the source of the sound with his consciousness, and saw two strange foundation-building monks arriving outside the Zhou family courtyard at some unknown time.
Of these two people, one has gray hair and a flabby face and looks like he has a short lifespan. The other has just reached middle age like his father Zhou Xuanhao, with a Chinese character face, a resolute and tough look, and a bit unsmiling.
The person who spoke just now was the gray-haired old man. This man has aged well, but his voice is very loud and full of energy. He is obviously a man who refuses to accept old age.
"It's Liu Qingsong, the old patriarch of the Liu family in Chixia Mountain, and Yang Xingyan, the head of the Yang family in Jinquan Valley."
Zhou Minghan glanced at the two people outside with his consciousness, introduced their origins to Zhou Yang in a low voice, and then replied loudly with a smile: "Hahaha, Brother Liu and Fellow Daoist Yang are well-informed. Zhou had originally thought about something.
I sent out an invitation the next day to invite you two to Zhou's house to attend the foundation building celebration. Unexpectedly, you two came first, please come in quickly, please come in quickly."
The Liu family in Chixia Mountain and the Yang family in Jinquan Valley are both foundation-building families that have been passed down for five to six hundred years. Although these two families have never produced a monk in the Zifu period, the foundation accumulated by the family for hundreds of years has been
Not a family like the Zhou family that was established less than three hundred years ago can compare.
As far as Zhou Yang knows, there are currently four foundation-building monks in the Liu family and three in the Yang family. Each family has a foundation-building monk in Huangshamen to speak for them, and the foundation is very solid.
Moreover, among the three Foundation Establishment Pills brought out by the Chen family this time, except for one purchased by the Zhou family at a preferential price of 20,000 spirit stones, the other two were bid by these two families at a price of more than 30,000 spirit stones.
gone.
"I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. At my father's foundation-building celebration, the heads of the Liu and Yang families only sent a descendant of their family to attend. This time they came together. I'm afraid it's not as simple as congratulating me on my foundation-building ceremony as they said."
Zhou Yang followed the old patriarch out of the room to greet the uninvited Liu Qingsong and Yang Xingyan, but they secretly guessed the purpose of these two people's sudden visit.
Little did he know that Liu Qingsong and Yang Xingyan were shocked when they saw him at such a young age. They looked at each other and saw the complicated look in each other's eyes.
"It seems that you and I have come to the right place today. With such a talented child in the Zhou family, he will never settle for mediocrity again. This old fox, Zhou Minghan, is so lucky!" Liu Qingsong sighed secretly and said to Yang Xingyan while communicating with Yang Xingyan.
"This son is indeed extraordinary. If he doesn't die young in the future, the Purple Mansion can look forward to it!" Yang Xingyan also sighed, having to admit the Zhou family's luck.
The Liu and Yang families have been inherited for hundreds of years, and they have never lacked foundation-building monks to pass on the family business. What they lack is a Zifu period monk who can lead the family to a higher level.
The lifespan of a monk in the Purple Mansion Stage can reach up to five hundred years. If any foundation-building family can have a monk in the Purple Mansion Stage, the entire family will benefit immensely.
It is a pity that it is too difficult to reach the level of Zi Mansion in foundation building. If there is no great opportunity and they are not high-grade spiritual roots or from a powerful force, many monks in the foundation building period will not be able to reach the ninth level of foundation building even until their life span is exhausted.
, even the threshold of the Zifu period cannot be touched.
Liu Qingsong feels this the most deeply, because he is currently stuck at the eighth level of foundation building and has been unable to break through. And at his age, even if he can break through to the ninth level of foundation building, it is basically impossible to open up the Purple Mansion.
It worked.
If he had been able to build the foundation at such a young age like Zhou Yang, the situation would have been completely different. It was precisely because Yang Xingyan knew this that he made the comment "The Purple Mansion can be expected."
