It is probably the most appropriate way to describe Zhou Yuanchen's mood at this moment as pie in the sky!
When he heard that Zhou Yang said that he could lend him a thousand points of Huang Shamen's merit points in exchange for Foundation Building Pills, even though he had some vague guesses before, he was surprised and delighted and immediately stood up from his seat, full of joy.
He looked at Zhou Yang and his father Zhou Xuanbin with surprise.
It wasn't until he saw the bright smile on his father Zhou Xuanbin's face that he finally believed that he heard it right and that it was all true!
And when he heard that Zhou Yang was willing to use human relations to find a foundation-building monk from Huang Shamen to become his disciple and exchange the foundation-building pill for him, the surprise on his face instantly turned into ecstasy, and he was so happy that he could almost bear it.
He couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Originally, if he had only collected 10,000 Huangshamen Merit Points for him, the probability that he would be able to redeem the Foundation Establishment Pill in the end would be less than 30%.
But if a foundation-building monk who has been building the foundation for many years comes forward to help him redeem it, then the probability will increase to at least 60%. How can he not be overjoyed?
He is also a smart man, so he naturally understands that there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. After being overjoyed, he immediately bowed deeply to Zhou Yang and said, "The kindness of the patriarch, Yuan Chen will never forget it in this life. If the foundation can be successfully established this time, the family will be able to succeed in the future."
Yuan Chen dares not to obey orders!"
This time, Zhou Yang did not avoid his courtesy.
Because as the clan leader, this time he accepted Zhou Yuanchen's gift on behalf of the entire family.
Immediately, Zhou Yang asked Zhou Xuanbin to find a place to stay temporarily in the teahouse, while he took Zhou Yuanchen with his sword to visit the cave of Ma Jingtao, a monk named Ma, and explained his purpose of coming.
Hearing that Zhou Yang was using favors just to let himself do this kind of thing, Ma Jingtao immediately smiled softly and said: "This matter is simple. Ma has a friend who also happens to be qualified for the thunder attribute spiritual root, and he has not redeemed the Foundation Establishment Pill after building the foundation.
, Senior Nephew Yuan Chen’s spiritual root attributes are the same as his, and with the support of Daoyou Zhou’s family, he must be willing to accept Senior Nephew Yuan Chen as his disciple.”
Ma Jingtao was indeed not exaggerating. When he took Zhou Yang and Zhou Yuanchen to his friend's place, the seventh-level foundation-building monk named Li Feiyu just took Zhou Yuanchen into the quiet room alone to take the exam, and then he readily agreed to accept the offer.
Disciple things.
Therefore, under the witness of Ma Jingtao and Zhou Yang, after Li Feiyu reported the matter of accepting a disciple to the sect, he invited some nearby monks to witness together and accepted Zhou Yuanchen as a disciple on the spot.
Of course, accepting a disciple requires an apprenticeship ceremony. Zhou Yuanchen's apprenticeship ceremony was a small piece of third-level low-grade demon beast pelt that Zhou Yang picked out from his collection.
This was the most suitable apprenticeship gift that he specially selected after learning through Ma Jingtao that Li Feiyu was a third-level mid-level talisman maker.
This carefully prepared gift indeed made Li Feiyu very happy and satisfied. He was so happy that he immediately took out a third-level low-grade thunder talisman drawn by himself and gave it to Zhou Yuanchen.
A small piece of monster pelt was exchanged for a third-level low-grade thunder talisman, which was definitely a huge profit for Zhou Yuanchen.
When he took the thunder talisman that shone with electric light, he clearly felt the fiery gazes of the monks watching the ceremony around him. This made his heart tighten and he quickly put the thunder talisman into his storage bag.
Zhou Yang is extremely envious of Zhou Yuanchen's luck. The power of the third-order low-grade thunder talisman is definitely no worse than the ordinary third-order mid-grade spiritual talisman. If he is dealing with enemies like demonic monks who are naturally restrained by thunder spells,
The effect may even be comparable to that of a third-level high-grade spiritual talisman.
However, he was envious and did not forget about business. After Zhou Yuanchen's apprenticeship ceremony was completed, he immediately took him to the General Affairs Hall of Huangshamen, and then witnessed the Master of the General Affairs Hall, Zifu monk Guo Shuyun.
, all the merit points of the Huangshamen of the three monks of the Zhou family were transferred to Zhou Yuanchen.
Huang Shamen has quite a few restrictions on the transfer of merit points. If the merit points are transferred between relatives and masters and apprentices, the transfer can be done free of charge. If there is no such relationship between brothers of the same sect, uncles and nephews of the same sect, transfers must be made.
A 10% transfer fee is charged.
Zhou Yang had a certificate issued by Zhang Yunpeng, proving that the merit points of the three monks of the Zhou family could be handled by him. Zhou Yuanchen also left his name on the Zhou family tree, so there was no transfer fee for this transfer.
After Zhou Yuanchen obtained the merit points transferred from Zhou Yang, he immediately transferred these merit points to his newly apprenticed master Li Feiyu. Li Feiyu then used his own exchange authority to apply to the sect to redeem a foundation building pill for his disciple Zhou Yuanchen's foundation building.
base.
"The final decision on the exchange of Foundation Establishment Pills is made by Ancestor Cao. You should go back and wait. You should be notified of the results within three days."
Guo Shuyun glanced at Master and Disciple Li Feiyu with an indifferent expression, and said this rule in a calm tone.
Everyone knew the rules, so no one from Master and Disciple Li Feiyu, Zhou Yang and others dared to have any objections. They honestly left the General Affairs Hall and went back to wait for the news.
However, while waiting for the news, Zhou Yang found Ma Jingtao again and explained to him that he wanted to hire a third-level array mage to build a "Seven-Star Spiritual Detection Array" for his family.
"This matter is a little difficult to handle. There are only five third-level formation masters in the sect, and one of them is an uncle from the Zifu period. In the current environment of the invasion of demons, these formation masters have sects.
They have the task assigned by the sect, and the sect will not let them leave the scope of the mountain gate easily to avoid unexpected events."
Ma Jingtao shook his head in embarrassment, not optimistic about what Zhou Yang was asking for.
The profession of formation mage is too difficult to cultivate. This profession is very talent-demanding. If the talent is not good, it is not good. No matter how many resources are given to him, he will not be able to accumulate it.
As for weapon refining or elixir refining, as long as the materials are in place, the pile can reach the third level!
With Huang Shamen's size, formation masters of the level of third-order formation masters are also rare talents. The sect attaches great importance to them and treats them exactly like the monks of the Zifu period.
With the special care of the sect, these third-level formation mages are generally one level richer than the monks of the same level. If ordinary people want to use spiritual stones to ask them to go out of the mountain to help set up the formation, they may not be willing to go all the way to do this.
trip.
Zhou Yang also knew these truths, otherwise he wouldn't have planned to use Huang Shamen's merit points to hire the formation master. After all, for Huang Shamen's monks, merit points were far more useful than spiritual stones.
So now when he heard what Ma Jingtao said, he could only sigh and nod: "Zhou understands. It seems that this matter can only be discussed in the long term."
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, there is no need to sigh. If Senior Nephew Yuan Chen can obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill and successfully establish the foundation this time, with his identity as a thunder cultivator and talisman maker, there will definitely be a large number of fellow disciples willing to make friends with him in the future. It will be up to him to step forward when the time comes.
Asking a fellow formation master to help you arrange the formation for the Zhou family will definitely have a much higher success rate than Ma and fellow Taoist disciples asking for it yourself!"
"Then I'll borrow the good words from fellow Taoist Ma, and I hope Brother Yuan Chen can really succeed!"
Zhou Yang smiled, understanding Ma Jingtao's kindness.
Then his mind moved again, and he remembered something, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Fellow Taoist Ma, when I came here, I saw that Guizong's bronze mirror instrument that can identify identity information is quite exquisite. I didn't know that Guizong's
Are you willing to sell the refining method of the magic weapon to our vassal family and exchange it?"
When Ma Jingtao heard him ask about this, his face suddenly became solemn, and he looked at him solemnly and said, "Fellow Taoist is talking about the [True Appraisal Mirror], right? I advise you Taoist to stop thinking about it, this [True Appraisal Mirror]
The refining method of the Treasure Mirror was found by the sect’s seniors from the Immortal Cultivation World of Liuyun Continent at a great cost, and it cannot be opened to the public. I think you should know the reason, fellow Taoist!"
Zhou Yang's heart trembled, and he nodded quickly and said: "Thank you, fellow Taoist Ma, for reminding me. Zhou understands, and this matter will be dropped."
As a weapon refiner, he certainly understood the reason Ma Jingtao said.
After all, the so-called "True Appraisal Mirror" is only a second-level high-grade magic weapon. If its refining method is spread and obtained by outsiders, some skilled weapon refiners may be able to decipher its secrets after understanding the refining method.
, developed a method to modify the information in the temporary identity token and the identity token of Huang Shamen disciples.
At that time, if someone with malicious intentions towards Huangshamen sneaks into the gate by forging identity information, it will be a lot of fun.
