Chapter 550

Yellow sand gate.

When the news of Zhou Yang's return from the formation of a golden pill reached the Huangsha gate, Yang Wenxiong, the contemporary leader of the Huangsha gate, who received the news, stumbled and almost didn't sit down on the ground.

He looked at the informer with a shocked face and his mouth moved to ask whether the news was true.

But without asking, he stopped again.

It was clear to him that the informer could not talk nonsense about such a big event.

"I see. Go down first!"

He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and then waved to the messenger friar to leave first.

He is a leader of a school. He must have the dignity of the leader. Especially now, he should stabilize his mind and not let his panic be known by other disciples.

The return of Zhou Yang's golden elixir has become a fact and cannot be changed.

The next thing he, the leader of Huangsha sect, needs to do is to find out Zhou Yang's attitude.

In fact, when he took over the position of leader from the former leader Zhang Yunpeng, the other party had already made arrangements for this issue.

At this time, he forced himself to calm down. After thinking about it carefully, he ordered the herald disciples waiting outside: "someone, send a message to the Zhou family, saying that Yang has something important and wants to invite master Zhou Yang to the Huangsha gate."

According to common sense, when Zhou Yang came back from forming a golden elixir, it was Yang Wenxiong with low cultivation who took the initiative to visit the Zhou family. Only in this way could he show his sincerity.

But now he let Zhou Yang come to Huangsha gate to see him, which is a little ignorant.

However, these are only appearances.

Yang Wenxiong's real intention of issuing this order is to test Zhou Yang's mind through this order.

As normal people know, when Zhou Yang returns from forming a golden elixir, the position of the overlord of the immortal world in the boundless sand sea of the yellow sand gate will completely change.

So at this time, those in power in Huangsha gate must be the most frightened and helpless.

When people are in panic, they will inevitably make some unwise moves.

In case Yang Wenxiong and other high-level officials of the Huangsha gate are confused, they want to deceive Zhou Yang into the Mountain Gate of the Huangsha gate when he has just succeeded in forming a pill and his foothold is not stable, and then with the help of the power of the sect's mountain protection array, pour out the inside information and savings of the whole sect to kill him.

This is not impossible.

Yang Wenxiong's unusual invitation of Zhou Yang to Huangsha gate undoubtedly makes people think in this regard.

This is Yang Wenxiong's test of Zhou Yang.

"Zhou Yang, Zhou Yang, I hope you don't let me down!"

"Otherwise, Yang is fighting for the foundation of the sect. He won't make your Zhou family feel better!"

Yang Wenxiong's eyes flashed with haze, but in his heart he had prepared for the worst.

On the other hand, nearly a month after Zhou Yang returned to his family, Zhou Guangxiang finally arrived at Lingxi peak with his Taoist partner Liu Xuanxuan and his eldest son Zhou tongxuan.

More than 60 years later, Zhou Guangxiang's accomplishments have reached the fifth floor of Zifu. He is only 260 years old. According to the 480 years of life of Zifu friars, his life has just passed half. It's good to have this accomplishment at this age.

And his Taoist companion Liu Xuanxuan, whose accomplishments reached the ninth floor of the foundation, became a fourth-order inferior tool refiner with his accomplishments during the foundation period.

Even his eldest son, Zhou tongxuan, already had three layers of accomplishments.

When Xiao Ying and Zhou Guangxiang came back from the Far West, they had already informed Zhou Guangxiang of their experience in the Far West. Therefore, when they met Zhou Guangxiang, Zhou Yang did not repeat their experience in these years.

After chatting with his nephew, apprentice and nephew, he called Zhou Guangxiang to the quiet room alone.

"There's something to let you know. Uncle nine, I'm going home this time just to calm the people of the family. In six or seven years at most, uncle nine, I'm going to the immortal cultivation world of liuyunzhou to do a very dangerous thing!"

At the beginning of the conversation, Zhou Yang handed in his old background.

When Zhou Guangxiang heard this, he also suddenly turned pale. With his mouth open, he was about to speak.

However, before his words were exported, Zhou Yang raised his hand and stopped him.

"Don't hurry to make a noise and listen to Uncle nine!"

Zhou Yang stopped Zhou Guangxiang's voice and said calmly: "although I can only stay for a few years, there will be no change in my Zhou family's becoming the overlord of the boundless sand sea Xiuxian world. The card I left you, uncle nine, is also enough to support my Zhou family to deal with all kinds of changes!"

"You have been in charge of the family for hundreds of years. You know a lot more about the family situation than uncle nine. Uncle nine, I won't ask in detail."

"Next, while uncle nine is still in the family, you call the senior family leaders to make a schedule, list all the things that need to be done after the family becomes the overlord of the boundless sand sea Xiuxian world, and list some ideas that you wanted to implement in the family but were not easy to implement, and then hand them over to Uncle nine for me to have a look."

"Before I leave, I will help you clear all obstacles!"

Zhou Yang said with a slight nod and said, "well, what do you have to say now?"

"Nephew, what's the dangerous thing you want to do when you go to liuyunzhou to cultivate immortals? Do you need family help? "

Zhou Guangxiang looked at Zhou Yang with a worried face and asked what he wanted to say just now.

"I don't know. Uncle nine, I don't know what it is now. I only know it's a very dangerous thing. It involves the elders of Yuanying period. You can't intervene!"

Zhou Yang shook his head, and the words in his mouth made Zhou Guangxiang's face more worried.

When it comes to the infant monk, he or the Zhou family can't intervene. In front of those beings, the little Zhou family can be destroyed.

"Nephew, I understand. Uncle Jiu, I will do it as soon as possible."

He nodded sadly and didn't mention anything to help. He answered Zhou Yang's previous orders in a low tone. The joy of Zhou Yang's return from forming a golden elixir had long dissipated in his heart.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang didn't say anything, but he was very happy.

What he values about Zhou Guangxiang is that he knows the advance and retreat, knows the general situation, and will not act rashly. This is a quality that a family leader must have.

Besides these qualities, it is more satisfying and gratifying to know how to be grateful.

"One more thing, uncle nine, my golden elixir celebration will be held in three years. The venue can be placed on the closer Chihu mountain. At that time, uncle nine, I will personally preach on the stage for ten days and ten nights to explain the secret of cultivation for all the participating monks!"

It is a great event to hold the golden elixir celebration.

In such a small place as the boundless Shahai fairy world, Jindan monks are the top. The significance of Jindan celebration is even greater than that of Yuanying celebration in liuyunzhou fairy world.

After the golden pill celebration, the Zhou family can officially replace the yellow sand gate and become a new generation of overlord in the boundless sand sea immortal cultivation world.

"Nephew knows. Please don't worry, uncle nine. Nephew will let all the friars in the boundless sand sea Xiuxian world know the news and let all the patriarchs of the Xiuxian family participate in the grand ceremony!"

Zhou Guangxiang's spirit was lifted, and his voice was excited and powerful.

"I'm at ease when you do business."

Zhou Yang nodded and ended the conversation.

A few days later, he went to the Mountain Gate of Huangsha gate alone.

Yang Wenxiong's mind, Zhou Yang doesn't know.

But he has absolute confidence and is not afraid of Yang Wenxiong's tricks.

If Yang Wenxiong is really dizzy and uses the mountain gate array to deal with him, he will wake up in a dream.

At the beginning, he made an agreement with Cao Wenjin that if the yellow sand gate did not deal with him and the Zhou family, he would never fight against the yellow sand gate.

Yang Wenxiong's daring to break this agreement is tantamount to helping him untie the shackles. How can he be unhappy.

But of course this can't happen.

When Zhou Yang arrived outside the Mountain Gate of Huangsha gate on the cloud, Yang Wenxiong, who had learned the news in advance, had already led all the top leaders and disciples of Huangsha gate out of the mountain gate and waited for a long time.

When they saw him appear, they all bowed down to him and shouted respectfully: "all disciples of Huangsha gate, welcome master Zhou's Dharma driver to our gate!"

Looking at their respectful attitude, people who didn't know saw it and thought Zhou Yang was the golden pill ancestor of their Huangsha gate!

Zhou Yang saw the respectful appearance of the people at the Huangsha gate below on the golden auspicious cloud. In a trance, he couldn't help thinking of his first experience at the Huangsha gate.

At that time, he had just succeeded in building the foundation, because he won the merit reward promised by Zhang Yunpeng, the leader of the former Huangsha sect, in the war to eliminate demons. At the request of Zhou xuanbin, an elder of the family, he promised to transfer the merit value to his son Zhou Yuanchen to exchange it for building the foundation Dan.

This is the yellow sand gate.

At that time, he had never thought that he would one day lead the Zhou family to step on the yellow sand gate and let Weizhen build the yellow sand gate in the immortal world for more than 2000 years.

After being in a trance for a moment, Zhou Yang returned to his senses, fell down the auspicious cloud, waved his hand with a smile on his face and said, "you Taoist friends are too polite. Zhou and leader Yang are also old friends. There's really no need to be so polite."

Hearing that he called himself an "old friend", Yang Wenxiong was relieved.

At least for now, Zhou Yang's attitude is kind and doesn't feel aggressive. In this case, things may not develop in the worst direction as he thought.

He immediately squeezed out a smile on his face and said, "it's a blessing for yang to get to know him before he became famous, but the rules are the rules. Since Mr. Zhou has formed a golden pill, he is our predecessors on the road of practice. How can Yang break the rules!"

Zhou Yang only smiled when he heard the speech, which was the default.

The strong in the fairy world is respected. Two friars who have no blood relationship or teacher inheritance relationship meet. Friars with a lower level of cultivation call friars with a higher level of cultivation as predecessors. This is not only a normal thing, but also the "rule" in Yang Wenxiong's mouth.

Zhou Yang has long been used to this "rule" and has no discomfort.

Next, after a few polite words, Zhou Yang was invited by Yang Wenxiong alone into the leader's hall for a secret talk.

No third person knows what they talked about in the leader's hall.

Others only saw that after they had a secret conversation in the leader's hall for half a day, Zhou Yang was personally sent out of the Mountain Gate by smiling Yang Wenxiong.

"Yang Wenxiong is quite sensible. It seems that with the lessons of Zhang Yunpeng, he has recognized the situation clearly. It saves me a lot of effort."

"But looking at his early preparation, it seems that he has already prepared for this day?"

"Yes, my Zhou family has been booming over the years, but his Huangsha gate is declining. As the leader of Huangsha gate, he is too incompetent if he doesn't want to go far!"

On the golden auspicious cloud, Zhou Yang, who left the Huangsha gate, remembered the harvest of his trip, and couldn't help showing a satisfied smile on his face.

In the main hall of the leader, he and Yang Wenxiong had a detailed discussion on the future situation of the boundless sand sea immortal world.

He promised that he would continue to take care of the yellow sand gate and would not violate the "Youming blood contract" signed at the beginning.

Yang Wenxiong will publicly show Huang Shamen's willingness to lead the boundless sand sea immortal world with the Zhou family at his golden elixir celebration.

It is said to lead the boundless sand sea fairy world together, but people with a clear eye know that in fact, the former overlord of Huangsha gate has given up his overlord status. This is just the last face for Huangsha gate, the previous overlord who ruled the boundless sand sea fairy world for more than 2000 years.

If these things are just nominal names, the "hidden fragrance" formula and some finished products "hidden fragrance" handed over by Yang Wenxiong are real benefits.

With the formula of "hidden fragrance", the Zhou family has mastered the channel to the immortal world of liuyunzhou. Later, the high-level friars of the Zhou family can travel to the immortal world of liuyunzhou with the help of this spirit.

This is of great significance to the Zhou family.

Of course, Zhou Yang has no advantage of taking Yang Wenxiong for nothing.

After he got the "hidden aura" formula, he also took out a spirit object "ningdan grass" that can help knot pills as compensation.

He originally wanted to leave it for Taoist Xiao Ying to knot pills in the future, but now he has made a decision. When he goes to xuanyang Xianzong to help Lu Xuanji, he makes a small request to the other party and asks the other party to help make a "jade liquid gold pill" for his Taoist Xiao Ying to knot pills afterwards.

I believe that with the kindness of Lu Xuanji and immortal Qingyang, I should not refuse his little request.

After returning to Lingxi peak from Huangsha gate, Zhou Yang gave the recipe of "hidden Lingxiang" to Taoist Xiao Ying, and then stored the other in the family secret library.

Then he shut up.

In this retreat, Zhou Yang is going to take the "mysterious fruit of enlightenment" to help him practice the second layer of the "Taixu alchemy formula".

This is a good thing that he finally decided after thinking about it.

He has less than ten years to practice. In such a short time, even with the help of the "mysterious fruit of enlightenment", it is impossible to cultivate any kind of magic power in his hands.

Although he has now obtained the complete version of Dayan sword formula, because there is no supporting five-level flying sword, even if he quickly builds the third level of sword formula with the help of "Enlightenment Xuanguo", he can't improve much strength.

More importantly, although he didn't know what Lu Xuanji and immortal Qingyang wanted to help themselves, he also knew that he definitely didn't need to fight by himself.

In this way, he didn't help much whether he was cultivating magical powers or practicing sword Jue.

In contrast, the "Taixu alchemy formula" is different. This secret technique promotes the immortal's divine knowledge, which is an absolutely infallible choice.

Two years passed in a flash.

With the help of the "mysterious fruit of enlightenment", Zhou Yang successfully built the second layer of the "Taixu alchemy formula" in a little more than two years, and the strength of divine knowledge increased by 10% again.

At this time, the strength of divine knowledge was even stronger than that of ordinary nine layer friars of golden elixir, and only weaker than those nine layer friars of golden elixir who also practiced the secret method of enhancing divine knowledge.

"In the future, I have to find an opportunity to find a profound divine sense to attack the divine power and practice, otherwise my powerful divine sense will be wasted!"

In the closed room, Zhou Yang took back his divine consciousness, and the essence in his eyes flashed away.

Although the immortal has a great resistance to divine knowledge attack after opening up the purple mansion, this does not mean that divine knowledge attack is useless for friars above the purple mansion period.

Some profound divine senses attacking supernatural powers can also be effective against Jindan friars and even Yuanying friars.

However, such profound supernatural powers rarely spread. The monks they own are kept secret. Whether they can get them or not depends on chance.

During Zhou Yang's two years of seclusion, Zhou Guangxiang had already done what he had told Zhou Guangxiang.

As soon as he left the customs, he received the Zhou family development plan produced by Zhou Guangxiang in a year or two.

"Unifying costumes and family emblem will help to enhance the collective sense of honor of family friars, and make it easier for outsiders to identify the identity of my Zhou family and produce awe."

"Changing the welfare offering and distribution system and assessing the accomplishments of all family friars will help improve the progress of family friars and save some unnecessary expenses for the family."

"The establishment of a directly subordinate vassal family will help expand the influence of the family and transport more excellent elite children for the family."

"Setting up a patrol team to crack down on sand bandits and thieves can not only exercise the actual combat ability of the people, but also win a good name for the family."

"Optimizing the family hall structure and internal grading can improve the operation efficiency of the family and encourage the progress of the people."

In the cave, at Zhou Yang's request, Zhou Guangxiang explained his plans and projects one by one.

He has been in charge of the Zhou family for many years and has no better understanding of the internal situation of the Zhou family. These plans and projects are also formulated according to the actual situation.

Without Zhou Yang's orders on that day, he might slowly implement these plans in the future.

But since Zhou Yang is ready to make use of his unparalleled influence in the family and the thunder sweeper clears all the obstacles within the family for him, he doesn't have to think so much and is done.

"Well, I'll do it according to your plan. After the ninth uncle's golden elixir celebration is held, I'll call all the people to hold a family meeting to carry out these plans!"

Zhou Yang nodded with satisfaction, put down the plan made by Zhou Guangxiang, and made a decision on the spot.

When Zhou Guangxiang heard his agreement, he was relieved and excited.

If these reforms were not carried out with the support of Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the Jindan period family, even his Zifu period patriarch would not be able to withstand the huge pressure from within the family.

You should know that if the reform is carried out according to his plan, the interests of all monks in the whole family from bottom to top will be touched. I don't know how many family monks will suffer from his reform.

The only thing that offended the friars of the whole family was Zhou Yang, who had unparalleled prestige in the family, and who had not left future generations, who dared to do it and had the courage to do it.

"This is the ninth uncle I admire!"

Zhou Guangxiang looked at Zhou Yang reverently, and his heart surged.

Since he was a child, he took Zhou Yang as his goal and set an example. Now, although he is a monk in the purple mansion and the patriarch of the Zhou family, his admiration for Zhou Yang, the family uncle, has never changed.

Immediately, he left the cave with joy and energy and went down to prepare for the golden pill celebration of Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang looked at his back and his plan, but he fell into meditation.

It can be seen from this plan that Zhou Guangxiang has great ambitions.

If we really carry out these reform plans according to his plan, over time, even if the Zhou family does not have him as the ancestor of the golden elixir period, no one can shake the position of the overlord of the boundless sand sea cultivation world.

However, as Zhou Guangxiang worried, when these reform plans are implemented, they are bound to encounter unprecedented resistance within the family.

Not to mention the other items, just changing welfare offerings and assessing family friars are enough to arouse the opposition of 89% of family friars.

In the original welfare offering system of the Zhou family, as long as the children of the family reach the Qi training period and reach the age of 20, they can always receive the welfare offering of the corresponding cultivation until they are 60.

However, according to the welfare sacrifice standard after Zhou Guangxiang's reform, if the family children want to receive the corresponding welfare sacrifice every year, they must pass the assessment standard set by the family.

For example, if a family friar achieves three levels of Qi cultivation this year, he can receive 40 family contribution points every year. If he doesn't make progress in his cultivation in five years, the family contribution points he receives will be halved. If he doesn't make progress in ten years, he will be stopped from issuing family contribution points.

On the contrary, if you can be promoted to the fourth level of Qi training within five years, the family will reward an additional 100 family contribution points.

Just this one, I don't know how many people who idle away and neglect their practice will greatly reduce their income.

Especially those people with inferior Linggen qualification can hardly pass this examination if they don't practice hard after reaching the middle stage of Qi practice.

If they can't pass the assessment, they will cut off their fixed source of income. If they want to obtain practice resources in the future, they can only take family tasks or take risks like casual cultivation.

This is why Zhou Guangxiang's reform will touch the interests of all family friars.

In order to give these monks a reliable way out, there was another reform plan proposed by Zhou Guangxiang.

Establish a direct vassal family!

What is the immediate vassal family?

It is to eliminate some family friars who are not qualified and do not want to make progress every few years, give them a considerable severance payment, and let them leave the family to start their own small family.

The small families established by these people are nominally dominated by the Zhou family and counted as a branch of the Zhou family. In fact, the Zhou family will not provide them with any actual material assistance, and their offspring will not be included in the Zhou family genealogy, but only provide them with an umbrella.

If they want to get practical benefits from the Zhou family, there is only one way to go, that is to transport the offspring with good spiritual roots in the small family to the master's family, obtain the generation given by the master's family, include it in the genealogy, and enjoy the treatment of the master's friars.

As long as the small family transports one top-grade Linggen qualified friar for the main family, or transports five middle-grade Linggen qualified friars in total, they can get a reward for building a foundation pill.

As long as there is a foundation building friar in the small family, it can officially become the main family branch, and the later generations will be re listed in the Zhou family genealogy.
