Chapter 15

The way home was smooth.

After leaving qingpingshan oasis for a few days, Zhou Yang smoothly returned to Yuquan peak, which had been away for five years.

When he went down the mountain five years ago, he was just a dashing young man who had just broken through the sixth floor of Qi practice.

When he returned five years later, although he still practiced six levels of Qi in his cultivation, he had grown into a handsome young man with a height of six feet and a strong spirit（ One foot (33cm)

According to the family rules, family friars who go out to garrison and come back must first go to the family affairs elders to report the situation and submit a work report.

At present, Zhou Xuanyu, the seven elders of the Zhou family, is the only female friar among the eight elders of the Zhou family and the highest female friar of the Zhou family.

Zhou Xuanyu ranks third in the "Xuan" generation. He is the direct descendant of the old patriarch Zhou Minghan. He has the qualification of medium grade spiritual root. He was less than 60 years old when he reached the ninth floor of Qi practice. If he took the "foundation building pill" to build the foundation at that time, the probability of building the foundation was quite high.

Unfortunately, as a woman, she is naturally inferior to men in terms of access to family resources. Even if she is the direct descendant of the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, she failed to get all the elders of the family to agree to devote the strength of the whole family to buy a "foundation building pill" for her.

The top grade Linggen friar doesn't use the "foundation building pill" to impact the foundation building, and there is also a one-third success rate. However, if the middle grade Linggen friar doesn't take the "foundation building pill", the success rate of foundation building is less than 10%.

"Foundation building" is the first difficulty in cultivation. If there is no spiritual pill such as "foundation building pill" to provide protection for friars, once the impact fails, 90% of friars will burst their meridians and bodies by the rampant mana in their meridians. Even if they survive, they will dissipate their whole body mana and become a useless person.

The nine layer immortal who practices Qi from above becomes a disabled person. Which immortal can withstand this blow?

Therefore, even if someone can survive from being possessed by evil, he will not choose to live, but die by himself.

The danger of "building a foundation" is so great that in today's immortal world, there are not nine layer friars practicing Qi with top-grade spiritual roots and no "building a foundation pill". It is difficult to find out how many of the 100 people dare to take risks to attack the foundation.

A monk who can practice to the Ninth level of Qi doesn't know how much pain he has suffered and how tired he has suffered in his life. No one wants his hard earned accomplishments, so he is lost all at once.

Especially for the friars of the foundation building family like the Zhou family, as long as they practice to the ninth floor of Qi practice, they can ascend to the top of the family and master so much power. There is no need to take this risk.

For these family friars, instead of risking their lives to attack the foundation, they might as well spend the rest of their life trying to earn spiritual stones and cultivate their descendants. In this way, with the strength of two or three generations of friars, they may be able to gather together to buy the spiritual stones of the "foundation building pill".

At that time, although he may have died, future generations may successfully build the foundation by relying on "building the foundation Dan", so his death is worth it.

Only those friars who have no worries and are alone can dare to take a risk and forcibly attack the foundation building because they are alone and admire the long life and powerful magic power of the friars in the foundation building period.

Once successful, Shouyuan will be doubled to 240 years. In the future, whether it is to occupy an oasis spiritual vein, open up a Xiuxian family, or join a powerful Xiuxian family to become an elder of Keqing, it is countless times better than being a casual monk.

Even if it is failure, it will not waste one's self-cultivation. It can be regarded as martyrdom.

However, a very practical problem is that because of the lack of resources and good skills, even if you have a good spiritual root, few people can practice to the Ninth level of Qi before you are 60. Without the help of "building a foundation pill", the probability of success in building a foundation after you are 60 will drop by a lot, almost ten dead and lifeless.

Therefore, in a comprehensive calculation, although the base number of casual cultivation is huge, and the determination to impact the foundation building is much greater than that of family monks, the number of people who can really succeed in foundation building is far lower than that of major immortal families who rely on "foundation Dan".

As a child of the Zhou family, Zhou Xuanyu is also the direct descendant of the old patriarch Zhou Minghan. Even if she wants to take risks to build a foundation, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan will stop it. Moreover, she has no determination to live in dignity since childhood.

The family didn't prepare a "foundation pill" for her. She said that it was false not to be disappointed, but she didn't resent the family. Instead, she quickly recruited a young sanxiu in the middle of Qi practice to join the Zhou family and prove her loyalty to the family with practical actions.

Because of this, all the senior family leaders, including the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, felt ashamed of her, so they let her take up the post of commoner elder as a remedy, so that she can take care of her children and future generations in the family for a long time.

Zhou Yang's mother Lin Yuting has a good personal relationship with the eighth aunt, and he has been loved by the eighth aunt since he urinated. Therefore, he is not worried about this so-called work report.

"Oh, I haven't seen you for a few years. Xiao Jiu of our family is becoming more and more handsome. I don't know which daughter is lucky to marry Qilin son of our Zhou family in the future."

In the palace of family affairs, when Zhou Yang just came in, he saw a middle-aged beautiful woman in a white lotus skirt sorting out the file. When he came in, the middle-aged beautiful woman's beautiful eyes lit up, quickly put down the file in her hand and looked at him with a smile.

Even if Zhou Yang had grown up long ago, his face was hot in the face of this joke. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and bow his hands and beg for mercy: "don't tease my nephew, my nephew is still young, and it's still early to talk about marriage!"

Except for those friars who have no hope of building a foundation with inferior spiritual roots, as long as they have some ideas about building a foundation, they will not lose Yuanyang and Yuanyin before building a foundation.

Because according to the experience summarized by predecessors, monks who maintain the body of Yuanyang or Yuanyin not only have a faster practice speed at ordinary times, but also have a much higher success rate than those who lose Yuanyang and Yuanyin when building the foundation.

Therefore, even the top-grade Linggen friars who have a great success rate in building the foundation will not break their bodies early before building the foundation.

Although the Zhou family attaches importance to the inheritance of blood, in this regard, it encourages qualified family children to marry and have children late. It is best to marry and have children after the age of 60.

Zhou Yang's father, Zhou Xuanhao, and the third aunt, Zhou Xuanyu, got married and had children after they were over 60 and had no hope of building a foundation.

Fortunately, those who practice immortality have strong physique and can use therapeutic spells to cure injuries. Even if they have children after the age of 60, they will not be as life-threatening as mortal mothers. However, once they have offspring, they will more or less damage their cultivation and slow down their cultivation in the future.

When Zhou Yang's mother Lin Yuting gave birth to him, she practiced the cultivation of Qi seven layers. As a result, more than 20 years later, it is still this cultivation. It can be seen how much harm it does to low-level female immortals to have children.

On the contrary, Zhou Xuanyu is much better. Before she gets married and has children, she has practiced the nine layers of Qi cultivation. Unless she builds a foundation, she can't advance her cultivation all her life. Having children has little impact on her cultivation, that is, it may slightly damage some longevity yuan.

Unfortunately, Zhou Yang's third aunt seems to have bad luck all the time. Even if the couple are of medium quality Linggen qualification, among the three offspring of two sons and one daughter, only one daughter has inferior Linggen.

The continuous birth of offspring, although it did not make Zhou Xuanyu's cultivation regress, it accelerated her aging speed. Although she didn't care much about it, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan was afraid that her longevity would be greatly reduced and fall early. Despite her own opposition and complaints, she forcibly used pills to destroy her fertility and forbid her to continue to give birth.

After knowing the story of the third aunt, Zhou Yang had great respect for the third aunt. She was a great woman worthy of the respect of all the family members.

"That's right. With your capital, there are great opportunities to build a foundation in the future. The situation of the family is much better than that in the past. Coupled with your parents' own savings, you should be able to prepare a foundation pill for you. Once you succeed in building a foundation, you will naturally have a lot of time to slowly find a suitable Taoist partner!"

Zhou Xuanyu looked at her handsome nephew in front of her. Her beautiful eyes were distracted for a while. It seemed that she saw herself at the same age. At that time, she also wanted to follow her grandfather's footsteps and become a foundation building friar admired by everyone. She didn't want to marry at all.

Unfortunately, she was unlucky. When she was Zhou Yang's age, the Zhou family was spending a lot of money to buy a "foundation building pill" for today's elder Zhou Qian. The family's savings over the years were almost exhausted and had not recovered for decades.

However, after Zhou Qian, the great elder with high hopes at that time, obeyed the "foundation Dan", he did not succeed in building the foundation. He only advanced one more level of cultivation and became a monk with ten levels of Qi practice, which is commonly known as the great perfection of Qi practice.

Although the strength of friar Da Yuanman is much stronger than that of friar nine, it is very different from that of friar in the foundation period, not to mention that Da Yuanman is still in the Qi training period, and there will be no increase in longevity yuan.

Therefore, Zhou Qian wasted a foundation pill, and from then on he carried a huge amount of family debt. He worked hard for his family all his life to repay his debts, not to mention that even future generations did not stay.

Zhou Xuanyu lost the opportunity to buy the "building foundation pill" and left a lifelong regret because his family's savings were exhausted.

A small "building foundation pill" directly changed and affected the fate of the two generations of Zhou elders!

Zhou Yang was warned by his parents since he was a child that he could not mention "building Jidan" in front of his third aunt, so as not to hurt the elder.

Now when he heard Zhou Xuanyu take the initiative to mention the matter of "building Jidan", his heart jumped. The idea of chatting with the third aunt suddenly disappeared. He quickly handed in his long written work report, and then fled the hall of common affairs on the pretext of visiting the old clan leader Zhou Minghan.
