After handling the affairs of Zhou Bao's family, Zhou Yang returned to Haoyang Cave and immediately informed the old patriarch Zhou Minghan by sending a letter with a flying sword.
The flying sword is a more advanced method of communication than the transmission talisman. Not only does the flying sword fly faster, but it also travels farther. The chance of being intercepted midway is much lower than using the transmission talisman.
However, in order to use the Flying Sword to pass a message, the foundation-building cultivation level is the minimum threshold. Not only the user must have the foundation-building cultivation level, but the recipient must also have the foundation-building cultivation level.
Moreover, every time the Flying Sword is used, the body of the flying sword will be worn out. It requires a craftsman who knows how to refine the Flying Sword to regularly maintain and repair the flying sword.
The flying sword used by Zhou Yang is of the third lower level, with an effective communication distance of two thousand miles. After he sent the flying sword from Haoyang Cave, he received the flying sword sent back by the old patriarch Zhou Minghan in less than half an hour.
Pass a message.
Zhou Minghan's reply was simple. He directly authorized Zhou Bao and his family to move back to Yuquan Peak now, and Zhou Bao would not be required to perform any family tasks in the future.
"Once this news spreads, I'm afraid those in the family who take wives and concubines will be more active in having children!"
Zhou Yang could almost imagine the expressions of his elders and clan brothers after hearing the news.
Since even Zhou Bao, a little transparent person in the family, can give birth to outstanding offspring, how can those family monks who think they are better than him be convinced?
They can't compare to Zhou Yang, a genius recognized by the family, in terms of cultivation. Do they have to lose to Zhou Bao, a loser in cultivation, in terms of having children?
How can it be!
If you are not as good as others in terms of spiritual practice, you can comfort yourself by saying that your spiritual qualifications are not as good as others, but when it comes to having children, who is not a man?
Zhou Yang would never have imagined in advance that because of the excitement of Zhou Bao giving birth to twins, the monks of the Zhou family who had already taken wives and concubines would greatly expand the number of concubines, so that in the next ten years, the number of monks in the Zhou family would
The number of newborns directly exceeds the previous hundred years combined!
Of course, these are all things for later.
There was no need for Zhou Yang to worry about coordinating Zhou Bao's family back to the Yuquan Lake Oasis. It was naturally done by someone arranged by Zhou Minghan. After he returned to Haoyang Cave, he continued to organize the medicine garden with his twelfth uncle Zhou Xuanchen.
After taking about half a year, a spiritual medicine garden built deep underground was finally completed.
This elixir garden is divided into eight locations, with a total area of about thirty acres. Thirty-seven kinds of elixirs suitable for growing on the spiritual veins of Haoyang Cave are planted there. After each elixir is completely mature, its grade will be at the third level.
above.
In order to allow these elixir gardens to have enough lighting spots, Zhou Yang specially refined several sets of glass lenses to refract and diffuse sunlight, and used flying swords to hollow out the stones and sand on the medicinal gardens to fix them and cover them with natural light.
It replaces the "sunstone", a lighting item commonly used by cultivators.
After the medicine garden was opened, Zhou Yang handed over the management of the medicine garden to his eleventh brother Zhou Chang.
Since the family has lost the second-level spiritual cultivator Zhou Jun and the first-level spiritual cultivator Zhou Yuanxia, the family's full-time spiritual cultivator has only one twelfth uncle, Zhou Xuanchen. In view of this, Zhou Yang decided to let Zhou Chang be the full-time spiritual cultivator.
From then on, the eleventh brother specialized in the art of spiritual cultivation.
Every monk can learn and master the skill of spiritual cultivation, but monks who practice water and wood are more likely to achieve success in this skill. Every well-known high-level spiritual cultivation master basically has the same spiritual root attributes as all the spiritual cultivation techniques.
The cultivation methods are all water and wood attributes.
Although Zhou Chang practices the earth element technique "Thick Earth Technique", his spiritual root attribute actually contains three attributes: earth, wood, and metal. However, he chose to major in it because he has a higher affinity for earth element spiritual power.
Earth system exercises.
To be honest, if it were possible, Zhou Yang would really like every monk in the Zhou family to master a skill in cultivating immortals. A skilled monk, even if he is only the lowest level, can play a big role.
Unfortunately, at present, his idea cannot be realized at all.
Each of the various arts of cultivating immortals has certain talent requirements for cultivators. If you want to get started with each of them, you must consume resources to accumulate experience.
Even for a seemingly simple spiritual planter, if he wants to get started, it will be difficult to truly get started without transplanting and killing dozens of first-level spiritual plants and spiritual trees.
Therefore, even for a Zifu family with a large business like the Chen family, it is unrealistic for every monk in the family to master a certain skill.
After completing the development of the medicine garden, Zhou Yang started busy promoting the breeding of spirit beasts. The spirit beast room in Haoyang Cave had already been opened, and he only had to put the spirit beasts into captivity.
It just so happens that the first-order mid-level monster "Phoenix Crown Turkey" kept in captivity by the Zhou family for a long time is a fire-type monster, and the breeding technology has long been mature.
He immediately flew back to his family with his sword, grabbed a dozen chicken cubs and a pair of male and female chickens from the family's spirit animal garden, brought them back, and put them into a spirit animal room for trial breeding, preparing to observe them first.
It will take a year and a half to see whether the situation should be fully introduced.
Breeding monster beasts is a simple yet difficult job. Simple means that monster beasts are easy to feed, as long as you feed them regularly, and it is basically impossible to get sick.
The difficulty is that most monsters are aggressive by nature. If you are not careful, you may die or even injure people. Moreover, monsters eat a lot, and most of them eat meat. In addition, the growth period is long, and the cost of raising them is high.
Quite big.
There are now nearly 20,000 mortals in Haoyang Cave. The food sources are all brought by camel teams and monks from the Zhou family in storage bags from the Yuquan Lake Oasis. Zhou Yang wants to raise monsters in captivity on a large scale. At present, it is very unfavorable.
Realistic things.
If the "Phoenix-Crowned Turkey" hadn't been a small monster in terms of size and an omnivorous monster, he wouldn't even consider raising the monster in captivity now.
In this way, he is busy with the medicine garden and raising spiritual beasts in captivity. In addition, he is often asked to dig mines at the Red Flame Iron Ore Veins to open mine tunnels with flying swords. In a short period of time, Zhou
Yang's daily practice has almost stopped, let alone being distracted from studying the art of weapon refining.
However, since he chose to take over the position of clan leader, he has nothing to say. He can only do his best to take on the responsibility of the leader and contribute to the family's development plan.
In this way, he waited until the five mine tunnels above the Red Flame Iron Ore Mine began to produce ore one after another, and then he had time to calm down and think about his own cultivation.
Normally speaking, after an ordinary middle-grade spiritual root monk has established a foundation, without the help of elixirs, it will take about fifteen to twenty years to advance to the next level of cultivation, and it will take longer as the later stages go.
Like Zhou Minghan, the old patriarch of the Zhou family, his cultivation has been at the seventh level of foundation building for more than twenty years, and there is no sign of a breakthrough yet.
However, Zhou Yang compared his cultivation speed during the Qi training period, and he was practicing the "Qian Yang Immortal Sutra" that was most suitable for his physique. He estimated that even without the help of elixirs, he could improve his cultivation within ten years.
There shouldn't be any problem getting to the second floor of the foundation building.
It takes ten years to raise a level of cultivation. Although this speed cannot keep up with those high-grade spiritual root monks who can raise a level of cultivation in seven or eight years, among middle-grade spiritual root monks, they are already rare. Zhou
Yang didn't have any dissatisfaction with this.
He is still young, and time is on his side. In the future, he only needs to practice step by step. It will be a matter of time before his cultivation reaches the ninth level of foundation building.
