After expressing her gratitude, Liu Yunxiang happily returned to Suyun Sect with the best spiritual stone, and couldn't wait to prepare for the upgrade of Shanmen's spiritual veins.
It's just that the promotion of the fifth-level high-grade spiritual veins to the sixth-order spiritual veins is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Even with the best spiritual stones as a guide, it will take a long time to complete, and there is even a possibility of failure.
Zhou Yang can only wish Liu Yunxiang immediate success and her long-cherished wish come true.
In the next few years, Zhou Yang settled all kinds of interpersonal matters, and after spending several years with his wife and children sharing family happiness, he officially began to retreat.
In the early stage of seclusion, he did not rush to take spiritual pills to improve his cultivation. Instead, he used part of the large amount of [Cold Jade Essence] obtained from the Beitingzhou Immortal Cultivation World to temper his physical body's magic power.
At that time, he got a lot of such spiritual objects. In addition to his disciple Lu Xuewei, Taoist companion Xiao Ying and son Zhou Guangcheng also got some.
Then he also deliberately set aside a dozen drops to store in the Zhou family's treasury, so that in the future when a more outstanding ice spirit root monk appears in the Zhou family, he can use this drop to assist in forming pills like Lu Xuewei did.
While Zhou Yang was in retreat, Xiao Ying and Zhou Guangcheng's mother and son also went into retreat almost at the same time.
Among them, Xiao Ying's retreat is to practice a secret technique of refining the mind. This secret technique was obtained by Zhou Yang from the witch Huan Qianqian. It will help her understand the seven emotions and eight sufferings of the world of mortals, strengthen her Taoist heart and will, and prepare for the birth of a baby in the future.
Prepare for the "Heart Demon Tribulation".
Zhou Guangcheng, on the other hand, refined the [Cold Jade Essence] given by Zhou Yang and also practiced the "Canglong Body Refining Technique".
After killing Yulong Xingyu that day, because Yulong Xingyu himself and the storage ring were exploded and turned into ashes, among the remaining trophies, Zhou Yang had nothing to do but take the sixth-order
The middle-grade golden dragon has all the dragon's spiritual blood and half of its natal essence blood.
These dragon spiritual blood and natal essence blood were given to his son Zhou Guangcheng to help him practice the body-refining magical power of "Canglong Body Refining Technique".
Every monk understands the benefits of a strong physical body, and the story of Zhou Yang using his physical body to challenge the Taiyi Immortal Sword Sect's swordsmanship was widely spread, and was something Zhou Guangcheng witnessed with his own eyes.
Affected by this, he himself has longed for the magical power "Canglong Body Refining Technique". He had already tried to practice it when he was in the Zifu period, and used the resources of Xuanyang Immortal Sect to practice it.
Second floor.
Now that he had received a large amount of sixth-level dragon spiritual blood and natal essence blood from Zhou Yang, he was full of motivation and took the initiative to practice in seclusion without Zhou Yang's supervision.
Time flies, and thirty years pass in the blink of an eye.
Thirty years later, the stone door of Zhou Yang's retreat in Huohua Mountain was finally opened, and he appeared in front of people again after being in retreat for thirty years.
At this time, he was already at the fourth level of Yuanying, and he had officially entered the ranks of monks in the middle stage of Yuanying.
However, it was obvious that he had just entered this realm not long ago, and the aura on his body had not been completely restrained, so that Xiao Ying, who was waiting outside to welcome him out of seclusion, almost fell to the ground due to his overflowing aura.
Seeing this scene, he quickly tried his best to use the [Hidden Dragon Avoidance Technique] to restrain the magic aura. Then he stepped forward with an apologetic expression, hugged the Taoist and apologized: "I'm sorry, my husband just broke through not long ago, and I still can't fully control the aura."
Good luck, Ying'er, you weren't hurt."
"It's not my husband's fault, it's because I'm so useless and I'm holding my husband back!"
Xiao Ying buried her head in her lover's arms, blaming herself in a low voice full of self-pity.
Frankly speaking, her cultivation level is definitely not low, and her cultivation level at the ninth level of the Golden Core is definitely not low among the Taoist companions of Nascent Soul Stage monks.
However, there are huge differences between the monks below the Nascent Soul Stage monks and the Yuanying Stage monks in all aspects, which is why the situation just happened.
It's not Zhou Yang's fault, nor her fault.
"Don't say this kind of thing in the future. There is no way to hold things back between husband and wife. Besides, you will be able to conceive a baby soon. After you successfully conceive a baby, these things will naturally not happen again."
Zhou Yang raised the Taoist couple's head, bent down and kissed her deeply, and then comforted his beloved wife with a smile on his face.
After leaving seclusion this time, Zhou Yang also went to Suyun Sect to attend the spiritual vein promotion celebration at Liu Yunxiang's invitation.
After thirty years of cultivation, with the help of the top-quality wood-attribute spiritual stones lent by Zhou Yang, the promotion of the Suyun Sect's spiritual veins has been successfully completed.
With the sixth-level spiritual veins and Liu Yunxiang, a Nascent Soul stage monk, taking charge, Suyun Sect's reputation as a large sect can be considered solid.
This celebration is also to demonstrate the status of Suyun Sect to the world of immortality cultivators.
Zhou Yang, who played a big role in this, was of course the heavyweight guest specially invited by Liu Yunxiang and Suyun Sect.
Since he was attending a formal celebration and to support Suyun Sect, Zhou Yang of course had to show off his appearance as a Nascent Soul monk.
With his current reputation and status, no one would say anything no matter how grand the occasion was. Instead, they would praise him for his well-deserved reputation.
So when they saw him, his Taoist companion Xiao Ying, and his son Zhou Guangcheng appear on a speeding car pulled by the sixth-level demon king [Water-avoiding Golden Eyed Beast], many guests who had already arrived at the Suyun Sect's mountain gate were all excited.
He couldn't help but let out a sound of exclamation.
"[Master Qianyang] is here. I and Suyun Sect are extremely honored. This sect's spiritual veins can be successfully promoted this time, thanks to the help of Master Qianyang. All the monks of Suyun Sect are grateful for this kindness."
, please allow me to pay homage to you!"
In the Suyun Sect's mountain gate, Liu Yunxiang, who was dressed up like a fairy from the Nine Heavens because of today's celebration, and many beautiful Suyun Sect female cultivators with different styles, all came forward with the arrival of Zhou Yang Fajia.
With a face full of gratitude, he bowed deeply to the speeding car to express his gratitude.
Seeing this scene in the eyes of the guests, they were deeply shocked.
Today is supposed to be the most important festival and the most glorious day of the Suyun Sect. From the fact that all the disciples of the Suyun Sect are dressed in costumes, it can be seen how much they attach great importance to this occasion.
But on such an important day and such a glorious moment, they are willing to let themselves become the decoration to set off another monk outside the sect.
Not to mention the guests who saw this scene found it incredible, even Zhou Yang himself was extremely shocked and moved.
While being moved, he couldn't help but smile bitterly at the Taoist monk Xiao Ying next to him who was also stunned: "This fellow Taoist Liu, at least she should tell me in advance. Now she does it quietly, and she is not afraid.
Can’t I get off the stage?”
"Actually, this is Sister Liu's style of acting. Her resolute and resolute character is very similar to your husband. The admiration and admiration of the Suyun Sect disciples for her is not at all greater than that of the monks of the Zhou family.
Young Master, what she is doing now is out of kindness and she wants to repay your husband for your help."
Xiao Ying pursed her lips and smiled, but she was very happy that Ai Lang could receive such courtesy, and she was not afraid at all that Zhou Yang would not come to the stage.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang couldn't help but shook his head. Without saying anything, he walked out of the speeding car and appeared in front of people in a red robe.
His [Evil-Resisting Treasure Clothes] were completely destroyed by the golden dragon horn when he surrounded Yulong Xingyu. The red robe he now wears was made by himself using materials, although it is also a fifth-level top-grade magic robe.
The weapon worn on him is just a simple status symbol.
I saw him standing in the air, with an moved expression on his face, he raised his hands, looked around, and said loudly: "Fellow Daoist Liu and fellow daoists from Suyun Sect, please rise up quickly. How could Zhou be so virtuous and capable as to dare to be such a great gift to fellow daoists today?"
It’s a big day for the noble sect, but don’t let Zhou ruin the atmosphere of this happy day!”
"Hahaha, for an expert like fellow Taoist Zhou to attend this celebration of our sect, it should be a blessing to our sect. Fellow Taoist, please take a seat."
Liu Yunxiang stood up and smiled, looking at Zhou Yang with brilliant eyes and a smile on her face.
In fact, her heart was full of surprise at this moment, because before seeing Zhou Yang, she had not expected that after not seeing him for more than thirty years, Zhou Yang would further improve his cultivation and break through the bottleneck between the early stage of Yuanying and the middle stage of Yuanying.
Became a mid-stage Nascent Soul monk.
Now, the looming aura around Zhou Yang that could not be completely restrained was not only felt clearly by her, but also by several other Nascent Soul stage monks who arrived one step ahead of Zhou Yang.
So when Zhou Yang sat down on the mountain, Ning Daoxuan, the Supreme Elder of the Qiantian Sect of the Chang Kingdom who had also attended his Nascent Soul Ceremony and had some friendship with him, looked at him with surprise and emotion on his face.
He sighed: "Fellow Daoist Zhou's progress in cultivation really makes me feel ashamed. Compared with fellow Taoist Daoist, I feel like I'm living like a dog at this age!"
"Senior Ning, why did you say this!"
Zhou Yang exclaimed, bowed his hands to the other party, and replied humbly: "You are a highly respected senior in the world of immortality. Your magical powers are also well-known in the world of immortality in Liuyun Continent. No one among the monks of the same level knows about you, so why not?"
It’s comparable to people like this junior who were pushed up solely by the power of elixirs.”
Seeing this, Fellow Daoist Ning waved his hands with a gloomy expression and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, please don't be humble. In the world of immortality, those who have mastered are always the first. Although I am a thousand years older than you, fellow Daoist, you and I are neither in the same sect nor have we preached."
"Senior, please don't call me "Senior" because of your karma, I don't want to be laughed at and make others laugh!"
He spoke frankly, and his face didn't look like he was being polite. Zhou Yang was speechless when he saw it.
Finally, he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, since Fellow Daoist Ning said so, Zhou has overstepped his bounds."
"As it should be."
Ning Daoxuan forced a smile and waved his hand. He had no desire to speak anymore. It seemed that he still needed some time to calm down the complicated emotions in his heart.
Fortunately, at this time, other Nascent Soul stage monks also took the initiative to greet Zhou Yang, which solved his dilemma.
Because she wanted to use this celebration to solidify the name of Suyun Sect's major sect and completely spread its reputation, Liu Yunxiang also put in a lot of effort this time, not only inviting all the forces within the [Xuanqing Taoist Alliance]
People came to witness and attend the celebration, and through some past friendships, many Nascent Soul Stage monks and Golden Core Stage monks from outside the Taoist Alliance were invited to support the occasion.
As soon as these people who come see Zhou Yang present, no matter what their cultivation level is, no matter whether they have friendship with him or not, as long as they can come forward to talk, they will take the initiative to talk to him or have a few words and leave a message.
impression.
This is the celebrity effect!
Today, Zhou Yang has truly established his footing in the Immortal Cultivation World of Liuyun Continent and truly integrated into this Immortal Cultivation World.
After the lively celebration ended successfully, Zhou Yang couldn't refuse because of Liu Yunxiang's repeated pleas and the help of Taoist companion Xiao Ying, and finally agreed to bear the name of a guest elder in Suyun Sect.
.
Although he is already the guest elder of the Xuanyang Immortal Sect, he is not incapable of serving as the guest elder of the Suyun Sect. As long as he is willing, no one can say anything about this kind of thing.
But even if it is just a name, it is still a causal relationship. In addition to his previous investment in Suyun Sect, Zhou Yang is now tied to Suyun Sect.
"I know that this matter makes it difficult for fellow Taoist Zhou, but for the sake of the sect, I can only do this shamelessly!"
"Friend Daoist Zhou, please rest assured that as long as you don't want to, neither I nor anyone from the Suyun Sect will ask you to do anything because of this matter. And if you need to use the Suyun Sect for anything in the future, you will
No matter what the instructions are, everyone in the Suyun Sect from my concubine down will definitely do their best to fulfill the instructions of fellow Taoist!"
After Zhou Yang agreed to serve as the Supreme Elder of the Suyun Sect, Liu Yunxiang's heart finally fell back into her stomach, and then she expressed her apology and sincerity to Zhou Yang with a guilty look on her face, in order to avoid Zhou Yang's heart from feeling guilty.
What troubles have arisen from this matter?
"Hey! Zhou understands what Fellow Daoist Liu means. It's just that for this kind of matter, it would be better for Fellow Daoist to discuss it with Zhou in advance. This will be good for everyone."
Zhou Yang sighed and nodded, looking at the other party helplessly and with a hint of warning to express his attitude.
That will never happen again!
When Liu Yunxiang heard this, her face became solemn, and she quickly responded solemnly: "I will definitely bear in mind these words of fellow Taoist Zhou."
Zhou Yang then stayed in Suyun Sect for a few more days before setting off back to Huohuashan Cave Mansion.
"During my years of seclusion, nothing happened to the Zhou family, right? Have those remnants of the Yulong Family appeared again?"
In Huohua Mountain Cave Mansion, Zhou Yang, who had returned, called the demon servant Bi'er, who had transformed into a human form, into the study room, and asked him about the arrangements he had made to protect the Zhou family before he went into seclusion.
Hearing him ask about this matter, Demon Servant Bi'er immediately and respectfully replied: "To tell you the truth, everything in the Zhou family has been normal these years. The remnants of the Yulong Family have been attacked by subordinates and fellow Taoist Xuewei.
After he was killed, he became more honest and no one dared to come to die again. They must have all gone back to the world of immortal cultivation in Donghua Continent now."
"Don't be careless. Don't underestimate the endurance of the golden elixir monks. For at least the next hundred years, you must continue to secretly protect the Zhou family to ensure completeness!"
Zhou Yang shook his head slightly and warned the demon servant with a serious face.
"Yes, I understand."
Bi'er lowered her head and responded in a low voice, but her tone was quite reluctant.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang thought about it for a moment and knew why she was like this.
After pondering for a while, he looked at her and said, "You don't have to be so resistant. Master, I have always made clear rewards and punishments. As long as you do this well, you will benefit from it in the future, and I won't let you work in vain."
"My subordinates dare not!"
Bi'er lowered her head even lower, and her voice was slightly frightened.
She had already experienced Zhou Yang's ferocious power, and now she was really in awe of Zhou Yang, and she no longer dared to be as presumptuous in front of Zhou Yang as she had been when she had just been promoted to the sixth level Demon King.
"Okay, you don't have to doubt anything. I keep my word, sir. Just relax and go about your business."
Zhou Yang waved his hand and asked him to leave without explaining anything.
