A giant spiritual stone mine can produce dozens of top-quality spiritual stones depending on the situation.
After hundreds of years of continuous mining by the Zhou family and the Guo family, the giant spiritual stone mine in the wild jungle has now provided Zhou Yang with nearly thirty pieces of top-quality spiritual stones, which is pretty good.
According to Zhou Liangyu, the remaining reserves of the spirit stone mine are now less than 30%, and it is estimated that they will be exhausted in another two to three hundred years of mining.
However, with the revival of vitality in the sand sea, the Zhou family has discovered many places in the boundless sand sea that are expected to form spirit stone veins, and there are also four or five spirit stone veins discovered during the excavation.
In another two to three hundred years, the vitality of the Sand Sea will reach its peak. By then, even if there is no supply of spiritual stones produced by the giant spiritual stone mine, the Zhou family, which owns a side of the world of immortality, will not have to worry about financial problems.
Worry.
Of course, if the Zhou family continues to expand, no matter how much resources they have, it will definitely not be enough for the Zhou family.
Therefore, Zhou Yang specially gave Zhou Liangyu a warning and asked him to use less drastic means to control the growth rate of the monk population and try to keep the number of Zhou family monks from exceeding ten thousand.
Of course, he only reminded that this matter needed attention, but he would not be so crazy as to prevent the Zhou family from having more offspring.
In the next few years, Zhou Yang stayed on Lingxi Peak to accompany his family. Zhou Guangcheng and his wife were not in a hurry to return to the Yunzhou Cultivation World. They also stayed in the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation World to accompany their parents.
On this day, Zhou Yang was preaching on Lingxi Peak to several golden elixir monks from the Zhou family who came to pay homage. Suddenly, his expression changed and he stopped talking.
I saw a strange flash of color in his eyes, and suddenly he waved his hands to the descendants of the Zhou family who were sitting cross-legged below and listening to the sermon, and said: "Please try to figure out what my ancestors said before. I will come back when I go, ancestors."
."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and took a step out, and his figure instantly disappeared into the hall.
This miraculous space-moving power made several Zhou family Jindan monks in the hall fascinated, and everyone had a look of envy in their eyes.
"My ancestor is truly worthy of being the number one Yuanying stage monk in the Linghuan world. He has mastered this great magical power of [Shrinking the Earth to an Inch] to the point where he can act upon his thoughts. It is really miraculous!"
A golden elixir monk from the Zhou family sighed with pride and admiration on his face, sincerely admiring and worshiping his ancestor's magical powers.
"The ancestors naturally have great magical powers, unparalleled in the world!"
Another golden elixir stage monk followed with a compliment, and then shook his head with regret and said: "It's a pity that our descendants are useless. Except for the little ancestors in the Xuanyang Immortal Sect, the huge Zhou family is still here today.
There has never been a third Nascent Soul Master, and no one can truly inherit the mantle of our ancestors!"
"The way of the Nascent Soul is so difficult. Although my Zhou family is now powerful and famous, after all, it has only been passed down for less than two thousand years. There are four ancestors: ancestor Xiao, ancestor Lu, and little ancestor.
The real Yuanying Master has been blessed by God. Ten thousand years ago, even in the Immortal Cultivation World of Liuyun Continent and the Immortal Cultivation World of Far West, no family as powerful as our Zhou family appeared!"
An older Jindan monk from the Zhou family sighed slightly, but there was not much regret in his words, and he was very open-minded.
At this time, the monk who was the first to speak out heard the words of these two people and couldn't help but interjected: "Now there are nine golden elixir-level monks in our Zhou family. It's hard to say about the rest. I think Elder Xiaofeng and the patriarch have a chance.
As long as the two of them can reach the Nascent Soul stage and become one, our Zhou family's inheritance will be continued, and no one will dare to say that we are nouveau riche in the future!"
After this person finished speaking, several Jindan monks in the hall all looked at the same person.
It was a middle-aged man wearing a blue robe, whose cultivation level was at the third level of Jindan. At this time, he was slightly lowering his head, thinking about something with a pensive look.
At this time, after feeling that other people's eyes were focused on him, he raised his head and looked at everyone with some feeling, and asked in confusion: "What are you elders looking at me for? Could it be that I missed something again?"
?”
After hearing this, several elders from the Zhou family looked at each other, and then one of them couldn't help but asked: "What is Elder Xiaofeng thinking about so much? Could it be that your ancestor's sermon just now gave you some enlightenment?"
Hearing this, Zhou Xiaofeng, a middle-aged man in green clothes, suddenly smiled and said: "I don't dare to say that it was an epiphany, but I just had some understanding. My ancestor is indeed a ninth-level monk with great supernatural powers in Yuanying. After some advice, I solved a problem for you.
Doubts about spiritual practice that have troubled me for several years!”
Elder Zhou's face could not help but froze as he asked, and then he quickly reacted and praised loudly: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's really congratulations to Elder Xiaofeng. If the ancestor knew about this after he came back, he might have a treasure.
Give it!"
Then he told what he and others had discussed before.
After hearing what he said, Zhou Xiaofeng quickly waved his hands and said: "Elders, I really think highly of you. In terms of cultivation, among the nine Jindan monks of the Zhou family, I am almost at the bottom. In terms of qualifications, half of the elders are as good as me."
With high-grade spiritual roots, how can I dare to be so patronized by the elders?"
"Elder Xiaofeng is so humble. Although you and I both have high-grade spiritual root qualifications, you have a single spiritual root qualification of the wind attribute, and when you tested the spiritual root, your aura was as high as five feet, but none of us exceeded four feet.
Not to mention that your innate understanding is much better than that of others. Today, our ancestors preached, and we have only scratched the surface, but you have understood something. Doesn’t this show your potential?"
"Yes, yes, Elder Xiaofeng, although you have formed a golden elixir three hundred and forty-seven, your elixir formation speed is second only to the clan leader among the nine golden elixir stage monks in my Zhou family. Now you have formed more than a hundred elixirs."
We are preparing to hit the middle stage of Golden Core in the next year, and this speed of cultivation is beyond our reach!"
"Elder Xiaofeng, please work hard and fight for our Zhou family. Let those guys who talk about our Zhou family's nouveau riche take a good look at it. I, the son of the Zhou family, will definitely not be worse than any of them!"
Several Jindan elders of the Zhou family spoke out in support of this outstanding junior of the Zhou family, and each of them sincerely hoped that the Zhou family would produce another Nascent Soul cultivator of their own clan.
Zhou Xiaofeng was deeply touched when he heard the heartfelt words of these elders. He finally stopped being polite and modest, and solemnly saluted everyone with clasped fists and said: "Thank you elders for your respect. I will definitely work hard to practice in the future and will not let you down."
The love of all the elders!”
Of course Zhou Yang didn't know the discussions among several Zhou family's golden elixir monks after he left.
After he left Lingxi Peak, he flew straight away from Xijiao Continent. He flew two to three thousand miles before he found the person he was looking for.
In the sky, a beautiful woman was flying a flying boat in the direction of Lingxi Peak. Behind her, a four or five-year-old child with red lips and white teeth was curiously lying on the edge of the flying boat, opening his big black eyes.
Eyes looking at the oasis below.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yang's expression changed slightly, and then with a flick of his sleeve, the beautiful woman's flying boat flew uncontrollably towards where he was, and finally stopped more than ten feet away in front of him.
"What's going on with you? Could it be that you're bored of being free outside and want to go back to the [Dongxuan Pearl] to die alone?"
Zhou Yang frowned slightly and looked at the beautiful woman on the flying boat with a very unhappy tone.
It turns out that this beautiful woman is the witch Huan Qianqian whom he released to freedom more than seventy years ago.
As the person who was subjected to the [Soul Seizing Technique] by him, there is naturally a special connection between him and the witch Huan Qianqian, and he can rely on this connection to find each other at any time.
Previously, Zhou Yang sensed that the witch Huan Qianqian was heading towards Lingxi Peak, so he stopped preaching and came to see her.
Because Zhou Yang knew that if she hadn't come specifically to find him, the witch Huan Qianqian would never easily set foot in the Rhinoceros oasis, the Zhou family's home base.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou has great supernatural powers and profound wisdom. How could he not know the purpose of my coming?"
Huan Qianqian looked at Zhou Yang with her beautiful eyes, and said in a calm tone: "After all, this child also has the blood of Zhou Daoyou's family, can Zhou Daoyou really be able to just sit back and do nothing?"
Zhou Yang's eyes flashed slightly, and he couldn't help but look at the child who was looking at him curiously.
At this moment, the child pointed at him and asked Huan Qianqian with curiosity and expectation on his face: "Mom, is he Xian'er's father?"
Zhou Yang's face suddenly stiffened.
Seeing this, Huan Qianqian couldn't help but chuckled and said: "Giggle, Xian'er, please don't talk nonsense. Fellow Daoist Zhou is not your father. He is your father's eighteenth generation ancestor. You should call him your ancestor!"
As soon as her laughter ended, she saw Zhou Yang wave his hand with a livid face, knocking the child behind her unconscious.
After doing this, Zhou Yang looked cold, looked at the witch with cold eyes and shouted: "What on earth do you mean? Do you want to use such a child to take revenge on Zhou?"
Huan Qianqian's face changed slightly. He first took a closer look at the child behind him. After he found out that he was just unconscious, he looked relieved. He smiled bitterly at Zhou Yang and said, "Young Daoist Zhou is joking, I have ten concubines."
I don’t dare to take revenge on you even if I’m brave. You are only half a step away from becoming an immortal. How can anyone in this world who is tired of living dare to seek revenge from you?”
After saying that, she suddenly bowed to Zhou Yang and gave a deep salute, and said with gratitude: "I am very grateful to Zhou Daoyou for giving me this opportunity to start a new life. Maybe Zhou Daoyou doesn't know that I have grown up in the Demon Sect since I was a child.
, by the time I can come out and walk in the world of cultivating immortals, I will have already reached the golden elixir stage, so before this, I have never really experienced the life of an ordinary cultivator!"
"It was this opportunity given by Fellow Daoist Zhou that made me understand how wonderful and happy it is to be a normal cultivator and be able to walk freely in the world of cultivating immortals without having to worry about being killed by people who exorcise demons and protect the Tao!"
"If there really is an afterlife, I hope that I can also become an immortal cultivator who is dedicated to seeking immortality and attaining enlightenment, instead of being a demonic cultivator who hides his head and shows his tail all day long and dare not even have a true trustworthy person!"
Zhou Yang looked at her with an unchanged expression, but was not moved at all.
I'm afraid she herself doesn't even know how much truth there is in what a Nascent Soul stage female devil said.
What's more, Zhou Yang is not a bodhisattva of great kindness and compassion, but he does not have the compassion to save people and become Buddhas.
Human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same. He just felt that Huan Qianqian's words were meaningless.
So he quickly asked what he thought was meaningful: "Tell me, who is the father of the child? And how did you get yourself pregnant!"
When Huan Qianqian heard what he said, her face was somewhat disappointed, but she didn't dare not answer. She could only say softly: "His father is just a Qi-training monk with ordinary qualifications in the Zhou family. Fellow Taoist Zhou doesn't have anything to worry about. As for my concubine,
Being able to conceive is also related to the magic power of my lineage. If Zhou Daoyou really wants to know, I will naturally tell you everything!"
When Zhou Yang heard this, he frowned and asked with doubts on his face: "If it was conceived with the help of magic power, with your physique and cultivation level as a demon cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, this child should be born with demonic energy and possess the demonic way.
Alienated spiritual roots are the ones, why are there only water and wood dual attribute spiritual roots now?"
"This can also be said to be the secret method of the concubine's lineage. In the past, seniors in the concubine's lineage created such a secret method specifically to solve this problem. However, at that time, this method was used to cultivate spies with outstanding qualifications.
The Immortal Sect steals information, and someone like me wants to give birth to a descendant of immortal cultivators. I should be the first in my lineage, and I am really ashamed of my ancestor!"
Huan Qianqian answered every question. When she said "I feel ashamed of my ancestor," there was a hint of sarcasm on her face. She didn't know whether she was mocking herself or the ancestors of the Phantom Demonic Way.
Zhou Yang didn't care about this, but was intrigued by the information revealed by her words.
There is no doubt that if this secret method that can conceive high-level monks, even monks in the Nascent Soul stage, can be used by immortal cultivators, it will be of great use to a family like the Zhou family.
I saw him waving his hand and saying: "Okay, I understand what you mean, Zhou. You can find someone to take care of this child and teach you, but you have to hand over all the secret techniques to Zhou, and you are not allowed to interact with him again in the future."
See!"
"In this case, I would like to thank you, Fellow Daoist Zhou. This is the relevant secret method that I have compiled. Fellow Daoist Zhou, please take a look at it!"
Huan Qianqian said, and immediately took out the jade slip she had prepared and threw it to Zhou Yang.
They are all Nascent Soul Stage monks. How could she not know the significance of this secret method to an immortal cultivating family like the Zhou family, so she had prepared the jade slips a long time ago, not afraid that Zhou Yang would not agree to her request.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang didn't say anything nonsense to her. After checking the contents of the jade slip, he moved his hand and disappeared directly in front of Huan Qianqian with the child.
When Huan Qianqian saw this scene, she looked calmly in the direction of Lingxi Peak and murmured to herself: "Son, my mother has done everything for you. You can only rely on yourself to take any step in the future.
Yes, you must work hard!”
After saying this, she took one last deep look in the direction of Lingxi Peak, and then commanded the flying boat to leave the Rhinoceros oasis without looking back, never to return here again.
