With the guarantee of Zhou Yang, Zhou xuanjing and Zhou xuankun returned to the family with the invitation of the ancestors of the Chen family.

However, although Zhou xuanjing and Zhou xuankun left, the other Zhou friars who went to Huangsha gate with him stayed in the square city to rest and prepare to rest for a month or two before returning to the family.

Among these friars of the Zhou family, there were Zhou Bao, the second brother, and Zhou Qi, the third brother, who had been there when Zhou Yang was stationed in Qingping mountain oasis.

Due to the care and advice of old man Zhou Quan, Zhou Yang visited his second brother Zhou Bao in the backyard after his eleventh uncle Zhou xuankun left.

"Second brother, I heard from Uncle Xi that you are going to open branches and leaves after you go home this time?"

In the yard, Zhou Yang looked at his second brother Zhou Bao, whom he hadn't seen for nearly ten years. He looked more and more old-fashioned. He even had white hair on his head.

"Yes, I'm not young now. It's time to open branches and leaves for the Zhou family. Grandpa said it right at the beginning. My temperament is not suitable for hanging out in the cultivation world at all. It's better for me to go home and plant land."

Maybe it's because he's getting old. Zhou Bao is now more calm than he was when he faced Zhou Yang, the most dazzling younger brother of his peers. At least he doesn't have the courage to look at Zhou Yang as he did at the beginning.

However, Zhou Yang looked at Zhou Bao now, but he missed the Muna and introverted second brother.

The reason why Zhou Bao now dares to look at him is that he has completely abandoned his pursuit of cultivation and improvement and completely lost his desire to make progress.

But since it was Zhou Bao's choice, he couldn't say anything more. He could only nod his head and say, "now that you've decided, apply with your family to [Haoyang Grottoes]. I'll explain the situation to the old clan leader and let you be the mortal city master there, so you don't have to leave your family to perform tasks in the future!"

Old man Zhou Quan asked him to take care of the second brother many times. He originally wanted to find a chance to arrange a relaxed and safe job for the second brother after he built the foundation and took power. For example, he worked as a waiter in the "Yuquan building" for a long time, or as an enlightenment teacher for the next generation of monks.

But now that Zhou Bao has decided to give up his practice, he can only be a city master in a mortal city.

"Thank you, Ninth brother, thank you!"

Zhou Bao also knows that this is the greatest help Zhou Yang can give him within his ability. After all, the family is the family of everyone in the Zhou family, not someone's family. It is impossible for Zhou Yang to let the family raise him in vain without him doing anything. What do other people think of that?

He just gave up his pursuit of cultivation, but he didn't really want to give up his status as an immortal and his family worship.

"Ah! Then have a good rest, brother. I won't bother you. "

Zhou Yang sighed and shook his head. He had nothing to say, so he got up and left the yard.

Until he returned to the third floor of the "Yuquan building" and picked up half of the strange things he had seen before, he was still thinking about what his grandfather Zhou Quan said to him the day before his death.

At that time, the old man Zhou Quan had expected his deadline. He specially called him to his side and told him, "Xiao Jiu, the biggest regret of Grandpa San's life is that he didn't work hard when he was young and didn't summon up the courage to attack the foundation!"

"I can't. the Zhou family can only rely on you young people in the future. Even if you build a foundation in the future, don't slack off in practice!"

"I'd like to say something selfish. Why should we immortals establish sects and families? It's not to gather people's strength to facilitate self-cultivation! Xiao Jiu, you have extraordinary talent. As long as you are willing to practice hard, you may not have no hope to surpass all our predecessors in the Zhou family in the future. You must not regret that you haven't tried your best in this life, just like grandpa three and me! "

"I'm leaving. Your second brother asks you to take care of Grandpa three. Grandpa three doesn't ask him to make any achievements in his practice. He just hopes that he can live as long as I do in the future!"

Yao remembered that old man Zhou Quan had killed the second-class top-grade monster "golden rat", and then compared with his dying appearance, Zhou Yang couldn't help sighing.

Hey!

He is now practicing nine levels of Qi cultivation. I'm afraid his strength is better than that of the old Zhou Quan. Moreover, if there is no accident, he will be able to swallow the foundation building pill and impact the foundation building soon.

But what if the foundation is built?

Although the life of friars in the foundation period is twice as long as that in the Qi training period, their life will end in more than 200 years without opening up the purple house.

Even the purple mansion friars like Chen Yaohui, the ancestor of the Chen family, only doubled their longevity. They are not gold pills. 500 years later, they are still a pile of loess.

Even if you are lucky enough to become a golden pill and borrow 500 years from heaven to prolong your life to a thousand years, what can you do later?

Baby?

In the past two thousand years, there has never been a friar in the boundless sand sea!

"If you don't live long, you will end up as an ant!"

These eight words suddenly appeared in Zhou Yang's mind. It is these short eight words that tell the true meaning of why immortals want to cultivate immortals.

"Ants? Even if you are a mole ant, you should also be a bigger and stronger mole ant. You should know that mole ants can also go against the sky! "

He muttered to himself, and his face suddenly smiled, showing a very happy smile.

At this moment, Zhou Yang felt that his state of mind had improved a lot.

The state of mind cultivation is different from the mana cultivation. During the Qi training period, the friar will not make any further progress in mana without impacting the foundation after reaching the ninth floor of Qi training, but the state of mind cultivation is not limited by this.

State of mind cultivation is a very vague concept. It refers to the degree of understanding of spiritual cultivation and the way. There is no hierarchy of Qi practice and foundation building.

However, according to the summary of the senior practitioners of immortality, the higher the state of mind cultivation, the lower the probability of being possessed by the devil when practicing. In the future, the probability of encountering a bottleneck in practice will also be lower than those with low state of mind cultivation.

People with low mood may not be able to build a foundation or form a golden elixir.

However, under the same conditions, the success rate of foundation building and Dan knot for people with high mood cultivation is certainly higher than that for people with low mood cultivation.

Only he himself knows whether a monk's state of mind cultivation has been improved. No matter how high his cultivation is, outsiders can't know. Moreover, to improve his state of mind cultivation depends on the monk's own understanding and opportunity. There is little influence from external forces.

Therefore, although we all know the benefits of improving our state of mind, no one will deliberately pursue this, and we can't force it.

After all, no matter how high the state of mind cultivation is, it can't directly improve the success rate of foundation building like the foundation Dan. For friars in the Qi training period, it's better to spend time on earning spirit stones than to spend time thinking about how to improve the state of mind cultivation.

Zhou Yang didn't particularly care about the improvement of his state of mind, so after laughing, he picked up the strange object record and looked at it.

Zhou Yang always felt that the lacquer black ore he got from the burly middle-aged man Zhong Quan on that day was not simple. Therefore, when nothing happened these days, he was looking through various ancient books and materials, hoping to find records about this unknown strange thing.

It's a pity that he searched through the classics that can be found on the market and didn't find any recorded information at present.

No matter which world it is, knowledge is the most precious wealth. Zhou Yang knows that he has not found the information he wants. It is definitely not that there is no relevant record of lacquer black ore in the immortal world, but because the classics recording the origin of lacquer black ore are more precious and are only collected by some great forces with a long history, It will not be widely spread and collected like the rare records of heaven and earth in his hands.

Just like the foundation period skills collected by the Zhou family and the inheritance of the fourth level weapon refiner obtained by the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, the Zhou family friars have no access to these high-end knowledge without practicing in the foundation period.

Maybe it was a rumor. In the next few months, the number of immortals in jinshafang began to increase significantly, and even the rare foundation building friars were seen in jinshafang.

The increase in the number of these monks is certainly a good thing for shops in the city. All shops seize the opportunity and launch various preferential measures to attract customers.

However, this does not include the "Yuquan building". Thanks to the popularity of Zhou Yang's previous refining tools, most of the various spiritual objects accumulated in the "Yuquan building" have been sold and have not been supplemented in time. Zhou Yang has no capital even if he wants to join the fun.

It was in this situation that Zhou Yang finally waited for the support of the family three or four months after his sixth uncle Zhou xuanjing and his eleventh uncle Zhou xuankun left.

The Zhou family had been preparing for this "foundation building meeting" for decades. Therefore, when the Zhou xuanjing two returned to the family with the invitation of the Chen family's ancestors and the good news of Zhou Yang's breakthrough to the ninth floor of Qi practice, the old clan leader Zhou Minghan immediately called people to set out according to the plan.

In order to successfully win the foundation building Dan at the "foundation building meeting", the Zhou family not only sent Zhou Minghan, the old patriarch of the seventh floor of the foundation, to the battle, but also sent five elders of the ninth floor of Qi practice, including Zhou Yun, Zhou Qi, Zhou xuantai, Zhou xuanjing and Zhou xuanbin.

In addition, Zhou Xuanyu, an elder of the Zhou family, also came to the square city. After the "foundation building meeting", he took over the two shops of "Yuquan building" and "Zuixian building" from Zhou Yang.

The lowest accomplishment of their team is to practice Qi on the ninth floor. Zhou Minghan, an experienced old patriarch, led the way. It took much less time to come to Baisha River Oasis than Zhou Yang did at the beginning.

After arriving at the Baisha River Oasis, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan went directly to the Chen family in baituoling and met with the Chen family's ancestors to discuss the details of the "foundation building meeting". The rest came to the square city to wait for news. At the same time, they also added the spirit objects brought from the family treasure house into the "yuquanlou" container.
