Chapter 639

FD) far west, within the boundless sand sea.

Boundless sand sea is just like its name. It takes sand as the sea, boundless.

The sand sea environment is bad, and there are few places suitable for human habitation. Only a few desert oases can accommodate human habitation and survival.

Yuquan lake is one of the few desert oases that can be inhabited in the boundless sand sea.

The oasis is more than 100 li long from east to west, more than 70 Li wide from north to south, high in the East and low in the West. There is a mountain named Yuquan peak in the East, hundreds of meters high. There are many trees and clouds on it. At the foot of the mountain is the source of life of the whole oasis - Yuquan lake.

Yuquan lake covers an area of more than ten square kilometers. The lake water comes from an underground river. The water volume is huge, the water quality is clear and sweet, and can be drunk directly.

Yuquan Lake oasis thousands of square kilometers of land, hundreds of thousands of human beings, countless birds and animals, all rely on the clear water of this lake.

The Zhou family in Yuquan is the owner of Yuquan Lake oasis.

The first person to discover Yuquan Lake oasis was Zhou Yuquan, the ancestor of the Zhou family in Yuquan. Now more than 100000 people living in the oasis are all Zhou people who are related to the Zhou family in Yuquan.

The Zhou family in Yuquan is a Xiuxian family. Its ancestor, Zhou Yuquan, followed the "Huangsha gate" of the Xiuxian sect. He resigned from the sect more than 200 years ago and established the Zhou family in Yuquan Lake oasis. Now it has gone through seven generations.

Up to now, Zhou Yuquan, the ancestor of the Zhou family, has long been seated. However, after more than 200 years of development, the Zhou family in Yuquan is now a powerful immortal family with one foundation building friar, dozens of Qi practicing friars and more than 100000 vassal mortals.

Ordinary Zhou people mainly live in three small towns in Yuquan Lake oasis, either farming or herding cattle and sheep, living a carefree life of self-sufficiency.

The immortals of the Zhou family live on the Yuquan peak with strong aura.

Yuquanfeng itself is the natural spiritual vein of the second-class top grade. After more than 200 years of cultivation by the Zhou family, it has been promoted to the third-class middle grade, which can be used by several foundation building friars and hundreds of Qi practicing friars.

Zhou Yang is the sixth generation of "Yuan" friars of the Zhou family in Yuquan.

Yuhua Mingguang, Xuanyuan Guangtong, fuze Rongsheng and eternal youth. These 16 character names were drawn up by Zhou Yuquan, the founder of the Zhou family in Yuquan.

The Zhou clan can only be listed in the genealogy after detecting the spiritual root and having the cultivation qualification. After death, the spiritual card enters the ancestral hall and is worshipped by future generations.

There are 15 members of the "Yuan" generation of the Zhou family in Yuquan, and Zhou Yang ranks ninth. However, in terms of accomplishments, he is the first of the 15.

At this time, he, the famous "little genius" of the Zhou family, was sitting in a natural cave at the waist of yuquanfeng mountain with his eyes closed. He kneaded it with his hands and worked hard to absorb and refine the Milky earth vein aura transpiration in the cave.

The spirit of the earth is a kind of essence that is nurtured by the combination of the pulse and the pulse. It is very effective for the lower level practitioners.

However, it is difficult to breed the earth pulse aura. It can only be bred in some special places where the earth pulse meets the spirit pulse. The whole Yuquan peak can be bred only in the "Yuyang cave" where Zhou Yang is at this time.

The amount of earth vein aura bred in the "Yuyang cave" can only be broken by a friar during Qi practice every ten years, and it is only effective for friars below the seventh floor of Qi practice.

Therefore, there are dozens of people in the Qi training period of the Zhou family. Only a few particularly excellent people can use the earth pulse aura to make a breakthrough during the Qi training period.

Zhou Yang's ability to use the "Yuyang cave" to make a breakthrough is of course related to his identity as the first person of the "Yuan" generation. Otherwise, his father is the six elders of the Zhou family in Yuquan. The "Yuyang cave" opened every ten years can't be used by a 17-year-old boy.

You know, among the dozens of Qi training people in the Zhou family, many people have been waiting for this opportunity for ten or twenty years!

At this moment, Zhou Yang kneaded his hands and decided to sit cross legged. He breathed in and out evenly. Every time he inhaled, the Milky earth pulse aura turned into two fog vipers, which penetrated through his nostrils and were refined into his own mana.

In this way, when the amount of milky white earth pulse aura in the cave was reduced to less than 30%, Zhou Yang's closed eyes suddenly opened, and one head and shoulder long hair fluttered behind him without wind, which was almost twice as powerful as before.

Seeing him grow up, he muttered happily: "finally broke through, practiced Qi for six layers, and the earth pulse aura really deserves its reputation. This at least saved me at least three years!"

At the age of 17, he practiced Qi for six levels. At this age, only a few elite disciples with top-grade spiritual roots can achieve such accomplishments in immortal sects like Huangsha gate.

Zhou Yang's Linggen qualification is actually of medium quality.

"The patriarch said that I may have a special treasure body. It is because of the speed of cultivation that I can far surpass the friars with the same qualification. Unfortunately, it is difficult to detect the treasure body. Only big schools such as huangshamen can pass the secret method."

"Although Zhou is a vassal of the yellow sand gate, it is impossible to ask the yellow sand gate to help detect the treasure body, unless I am willing to join the yellow sand gate!"

"But once I join the Huangsha gate, I will be bound by the rules of the Huangsha gate, and there will be countless elders who can shout to me. How can I be more comfortable in the family now?"

"Hum, it's better to be a chicken's head than a phoenix's tail. The Huangsha clan has a great career and there is no shortage of top-grade Linggen talents in every generation. Even if I have a treasure body, I'm just an elite disciple when I go to Huangsha clan. I may not enjoy as good benefits as I do in the Zhou clan now. At least those elders here look forward to my success in building a foundation and expanding my family reputation in the future, They all think of me wholeheartedly. "

"Besides, as long as I succeed in building the foundation, the treasure body will naturally awaken and derive the treasure body magic power. At that time, I will naturally know what kind of treasure body I have."

Zhou Yang is not an ordinary person. He is a reborn person whose soul comes from the earth world. He has more than 20 or 30 years of previous life memory than ordinary people.

Although most of the past life memories of these 20 or 30 years can not be used in this immortal Xia world because of the great differences in the world environment, some of the methods, experiences and principles of dealing with the world are things that can be used in all worlds.

Others only saw that the Huangsha gate was majestic, with the old ancestor of the golden elixir sitting in the town, and dozens of desert oasis vassals such as Yuquan Lake oasis were worshipped outside. There were no shortage of various skill treasures. They sharpened their heads and wanted to join them and become one of them.

However, I don't know that although the benefits of the sect are good, the rules are also strict. Once I enter the sect, I can't help myself. During the ordinary Qi training period, disciples have to complete the tasks forcibly assigned by the sect every year. If they can't complete the tasks, they will either stop paying benefits or abolish cultivation accomplishments and expel them from the school!

In addition, there are serious gangs in the sect. In order to show themselves in front of the top level of the sect and compete for the right to use some spiritual places, the low-level disciples are trying their best to suppress their competitors. The competition is very fierce.

At the beginning, the ancestor of the Zhou family was a friar in the foundation period of the Huangsha gate. The information about the Huangsha gate is recorded in the family's ancient books. Therefore, no one of the Zhou family is willing to be a disciple of the Huangsha gate unless they have poor spiritual root qualifications and want to fight.

Zhou Yang was very tired of that kind of office struggle in his previous life. In this life, he finally had the opportunity to get rid of that kind of struggle. Of course, he won't let himself fall into it again.

Therefore, he had already made up his mind that even if there was no hope for the road and long life, he would never want to live the life of intrigue all day.

Congenital, practicing Qi, building a foundation, Zifu, golden elixir, Yuanying, crossing robbery, returning to emptiness and uniting the Tao are the nine realms of cultivation. If you want to achieve real immortality, you can only become a Taoist immortal who fits the avenue.

However, as Zhou Yang knows, since there have been immortals in this world, he has never heard of anyone who really lives forever. The division of the nine practice realms is only handed down by the legendary celestial immortals, which has not been verified.

Therefore, for 99% of the monks, the golden elixir monks with a thousand years of life is the highest pursuit of their practice.

So, no wonder he didn't want to wronged himself to participate in those intrigues for the illusory legend of longevity.

Practice is also mind cultivation. Since the original mind is unwilling to participate in those intrigues, Zhou Yang certainly has to choose to follow the original mind.

Just after breaking through the realm, Zhou Yang was a little excited and thought a little more. After a long time, Zhou Yang pressed down his disordered thoughts and looked at the milky white earth pulse aura remaining in the cave.

"Although every time the Yuyang cave is opened, the earth pulse aura inside can be absorbed as much as possible, since I have successfully broken the territory, absorbing these earth pulse auras will only help me stabilize the realm, which is not very effective."

"In this way, it's better to keep the aura of these earth veins and make the next opening of Yuyang cave a few years earlier to benefit other people."

It's not advisable to fish in the dry water. It's not easy to produce the earth vein aura. It's too wasteful to simply use it to improve mana and cultivation. Since Zhou Yang decided to stay in the family and develop, of course, he would not do such a bad thing at the expense of public interests and private interests.

He had a decision in his heart. Even if he opened the cave and walked out of the cave, he explained the situation to the family elders outside.

"Yuyang cave" is the important place of the Zhou family. Family elders sit and guard it all the year round. Now it is the monk Zhou Xuanhe of the "Xuan" generation, who is also the uncle of Zhou Yang's fourteen families.

At this time, seeing that Zhou Yang successfully broke through the territory and walked out from the inside, and listening to him tell the situation inside, Zhou Xuanhe, wearing a blue bottomed white crane Xiangyun Taoist robe embroidered with white crane, immediately nodded and smiled with satisfaction: "yes, yes, Yang, you are worthy of being the most promising person of the Zhou family Yuan generation. You have this view of the overall situation at a young age. If the patriarch and eldest brother know this, It will certainly be very gratifying! "

The old clan leader in his mouth is Zhou Minghan, the only friar in the foundation period of the Zhou family, and the only remaining member of the "Ming" generation. The eldest brother refers to Zhou Yang's father Zhou Xuanhao, the sixth of the eight nine layer elders in the Qi practice period of the Zhou family, and the eldest of the "Xuan" generation.

Friars of the Zhou family, as long as they are of the same generation, are commensurate with each other as brothers. Those of different generations are called each other as uncles, nephews and nephews.

At this time, facing the praise of Zhou Xuanhe, the 14th uncle, Zhou Yang said modestly that this was what he should do as a Zhou clan, and he was not proud of his identity and accomplishments at all.

This performance is seen in Zhou Xuanhe's eyes, and he thinks highly of the younger generation.

It's hard to practice Qi at such an age. It's even more difficult to be arrogant and rash. Considering the overall situation, maybe the hope of the next generation of the Zhou family will really fall on this son.

Thinking about this, he remembered another thing and hurriedly said, "since you have successfully broken the environment, go to the cave on the top of the mountain to meet the old patriarch. He had instructions earlier. If you can successfully break the environment, you can go to see him."

"Is there such a thing? I won't bother uncle 14. Thank uncle 14 for protecting the Dharma for me. "

Zhou Yang's expression moved. He immediately thanked Zhou Xuanhe and hurried to the old patriarch's cave at the top of Yuquan peak.

Yuquan peak is hundreds of meters high. The higher the height, the stronger the aura. Generally, it is enough for the Zhou people to practice on the hillside during the Qi training period. There are also comfortable palaces and pavilions for people to live, and special secular people take care of their clothes, food, housing and transportation.

Only the monks in the foundation period will stay in the monk's cave on the top of Yuquan peak and use the rich aura there to practice.

The whole Yuquan peak is covered by a third-order middle-class array "ten thousand trees hold the sky array". Because this array can absorb the plant aura inside the array and enhance its power, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, except for those spiritual fields and miraculous medicine gardens, Yuquan peak is full of all kinds of tall trees, many of which are thousands of years old.

The crowns of these towering trees are connected together to block the sunlight, making the temperature in the mountains several degrees lower than that outside the mountain. There are bursts of cool mountain wind passing through the forest, which is unspeakably cool during the walk.

Dressed in white, Zhou Yangyun lifted his light body spell all the way up the mountainside, climbed rapidly along the stone steps opened up by the woods, and soon came to the top of the mountain.

The top of Yuquan peak has become very flat after manual repair. The area of the top is only tens of mu. Because of the rich aura on it, except for three monk caves built in three places, other places have been opened up as a field of miraculous medicine and planted with various grade miraculous medicines.

When Zhou Yang came here, a smell of medicine mixed with various miraculous medicine scents came to his nose. One breath made people feel refreshed, and the mana operation of his whole body accelerated a lot.

It can be imagined that if you can practice here all year round, the speed of practice will be much higher than that on the hillside.

But it's impossible.

The elixir garden is the important place of the Zhou family. Many elixirs in it are precious varieties cultivated by the Zhou family for one or two hundred years. The loss of any one is enough to make the old patriarch Zhou Minghan distressed for decades.

Therefore, in addition to the two second-order spiritual planting husbands in the family, even Zhou Yang's beloved family gifted disciples are not allowed to step into the top of the mountain.

Moreover, no one can set foot on the top of the mountain. This is the core area of the array eye of the "WanMu Qingtian array". It has a strong array force to guard. The guardian inside is not allowed to control the array. Even if the friars come during the foundation building period, they can only break through the array and break through.

"Zhou Yang, the younger generation's son, was ordered to visit the old patriarch. Please let him go."

He stood outside the array on the top of the mountain and bowed respectfully towards the area covered by the array white fog.

"It's Xiao Jiu. The patriarch has already explained it. Come in first."

An old voice came from the white fog, and then the vast white fog in front of Zhou Yang surged, showing a safe passage for one person to walk.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang quickly bowed his hands and said, "my nephew and grandson thanked grandpa seven."

Then he went down the path and finally came to a white haired old man sitting under a big tree dozens of meters high.

The white haired old man sitting at the foot of the tree was named Zhou Yun. He practiced Qi for nine layers and was added as the fourth elder of the Zhou family. He ranked seventh among the "light" generation. At the same time, he was also one of the only two second-order spiritual planting husbands of the Zhou family.

The youngest friars of the "light" generation of the Zhou family are over 80 years old. The four elders Zhou Yun is nearly 100 years old, very close to the 120 year old life limit of the friars during the Qi training period.

Although the monks' fighting ability will not decrease much with age, generally speaking, those elderly monks who are close to 100 years old in the major immortal families will retire to the ancestral land of the family to spend their later years in peace. It is not a big event of extermination, and no one will disturb them. These meritorious heroes who have worked for the family for most of their lives.

In particular, Zhou Yun is also a second-class spiritual planter. He asked him to live in seclusion on the top of the mountain and just take care of the miraculous medicine in the dozens of Mu medicine garden.

At this time, seeing Zhou Yang coming, the old man immediately waved his big sleeve. In front of him, there was an extra tea table, a set of tea sets and a futon. He couldn't help pointing to the empty futon and said, "the patriarch is finishing his work. Xiao Jiu, you should drink a cup of tea with the old man here and nag."

It is rare for the descendants of ordinary families to come to the top of the mountain. The patriarchs who are higher than themselves often practice in seclusion. The old man usually stays on the mountain alone and doesn't even talk. He is also bored and flustered.

Now I'm glad to see Zhou Yang, the most outstanding younger generation of the younger generation of the family, coming.

Most young people may not understand the old man's psychology, but Zhou Yang, who has been a man for two generations, is quite understanding. He is also willing to talk more with these old people and listen to them talk about all kinds of anecdotes and interesting things in the fairy world without hindering business.

"Grandpa Qi's homemade medicinal tea is not easy to drink on weekdays. My nephew and grandson have to drink it today."

He smiled and sat down on the futon. He took the initiative to pick up the tea set and cook tea.

Of course, the immortal's tea making is different from ordinary people. The fire used to make tea is transformed by magic. It only takes a moment to make the tea boil without any fireworks.

After a pot of tea was cooked, Zhou Yang poured tea for the two, and couldn't wait to pick up his cup of fragrant hot tea and drink it.

When ordinary people drink tea like this, the hot tea may even burn their throat, but for the immortal whose body has been quenched by mana, this temperature is the same as ordinary people drinking warm water, which is nothing at all.

When the old man saw him gobbling up tea like this, he was not dissatisfied. Instead, he looked at him happily and asked, "how about it? Can I satisfy you with this newly made medicinal tea? "

Without waiting for Zhou Yang to answer, he also gently took a sip of the tea cup, then closed his eyes with a look of enjoyment, and said proudly: "this is a new tea made of five kinds of magic drugs, such as the dead leaves of the second-order elixir [Xianyun grass], plus the twenty-year [white jade ginseng] ginseng and the first-order elixir [xiangyeju]. In total, there are only three Liang, Even the tea for making tea is the spirit dew just collected from those miraculous herbs in the medicine garden this morning. "

"It's really a good tea. Grandpa Qi's medicinal tea is no worse in taste and effect than those spiritual teas his nephew and grandson had drunk before. If it can be produced in large quantities, it can provide an extra income for my Zhou family!"

Zhou Yang put down his tea cup, silently felt the change of mana in his body, and smelled the residual drug aroma between his lips. His face was full of admiration.

When the old man heard his praise, his face was filled with joy, then shook his head with depression and helplessness and said, "I also have this idea. However, [Xianyun grass] is the main medicine for refining the second-order elixir [Xianyun pill]. We can't waste this elixir in order to make tea? If only natural withered leaves are used, the quantity will be enough for me to drink! "

"This..."

Zhou Yang lowered his head in embarrassment and resolutely didn't pick up the old man's words.

There is only one second-class alchemist in the family, that is, his father Zhou Xuanhao. Once the immortal cloud grass is mature, it will be used by his father for alchemy. If he dares to use the spirit grass to make tea, his father will have to slap him to death.

"Hey, hey, you little cunning, don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who cares about the overall situation? It was just a casual remark! "

The old man smiled. He didn't know what Zhou Yang was thinking. He first comforted him, and then picked up some interesting things he had experienced when he was young to talk to him to help him resolve his embarrassment.

They talked like this. After talking for about a quarter of an hour, the door of the cave of the old clan leader on the top of the mountain suddenly opened automatically, and from it came the old and powerful voice of the old clan leader: "is Xiao Jiu here? Come first. "

Hearing this sound, the two people who were talking stopped together, and then Zhou Yang immediately stood up and arched his hands at Zhou Jun: "Grandpa Qi, my nephew and grandson went to see the old patriarch first."

"Go, go, don't let the old people wait for a long time."

After saying goodbye to Zhou Yun, Zhou Yang walked into the cave directly along the open door of the cave, and soon met Zhou Minghan, the contemporary patriarch of the Zhou family and Friar in the foundation period, in the training room deep in the cave.

Zhou Minghan is more than 150 years old this year, but his face looks much younger than Zhou Yun outside. His hair is not all white, and his face is as ruddy as a baby.

This is very normal. During the foundation period, the friar lived for more than 200 years. If there were no accidents, Zhou Minghan still had at least 40 or 50 years of life, and his cultivation was high. Naturally, he looked younger than Zhou Yun.

When Zhou Yang saw Zhou Minghan, the head of the Zhou family was sitting in meditation on the cold jade bed. He didn't dare to see more. When he came in, he bowed deeply and bowed a big salute and said, "grandson, meet great grandfather."

As the only existing friar of the "Ming" generation in the Zhou family and the foundation period, Zhou Minghan naturally became the great grandfather of all friars of the "Yuan" generation.
