Chapter 641
Zhou Yang is really not much to say.
The more his accomplishments increased, the greater the gap between him and his peers, and the more he felt the importance of qualification to low-level practitioners.
Only one or two spiritual root friars can be born among 10000 mortals. The offspring of friars have a high probability of producing spiritual roots, but it is only one in dozens.
Most of these people who have spiritual roots are mainly lower spiritual roots. On average, only one of the ten people can have a middle spiritual root friar. As for the top spiritual root, there are even fewer. It is difficult to have one of the 100 friars.
There are more than 100000 people in the Zhou family in Yuquan Lake oasis, but all the friars in the Qi training period of the Zhou family add up to less than 100, including seven or eight friars with a foreign surname who marry friars of the Zhou family.
Among the dozens of monks in the Zhou family, there is no top-grade spiritual root. Even Zhou Minghan, the old patriarch in the later stage of foundation building, is only a middle-grade spiritual root.
What is the influence of spiritual root quality on practitioners?
In the same period of Qi practice, one level of accomplishments, practicing the same skills, meditating and practicing in the same place. The effect of a lower level spiritual root practitioner meditating for ten days is equivalent to that of a middle level spiritual root practitioner meditating for one day.
The effect of a middle-class spiritual root practitioner meditating for more than ten days may not be as good as that of a high-class spiritual root practitioner meditating for one day.
Top level spiritual root practitioners not only practice fast, but also have a much higher probability of breaking through when facing the "foundation building" level, the first level of cultivation. Even if they do not take the "foundation building pill", a rare spiritual pill that can greatly improve the success rate of foundation building, they have a 30% probability of breaking through.
It is said that there are spiritual friars and Taoist friars on the top spiritual root.
Any spiritual friar, as long as he does not die prematurely, will become the ancestor of the golden elixir period, and there will be no bottleneck in the middle.
As for Taoist monks, it is even more a legendary existence. Since the beginning of this world, there have been less than one palm of Taoist monks, all of whom are super strong people who rule an era.
In addition to the spiritual body and Tao, there is a special constitution in the practice world called "treasure body".
"Treasure body" is an extremely special constitution. Any spiritual root friar may have a treasure body. If a friar with a treasure body can practice the skills that fit the treasure body, his cultivation speed will be much faster than that of a friar with the same quality. Moreover, with the increase of cultivation achievements in the future, he will obtain a unique treasure body magic power.
For example, Zhou Yang may have some kind of treasure body with masculine attribute. Therefore, he clearly has the qualification of middle grade Linggen. After practicing the masculine and domineering skill of Jinyang fire formula, his cultivation speed is equivalent to that of top grade Linggen friars.
If nothing happens, Zhou Yang will be able to raise his cultivation to the Ninth level of Qi practice before he is 40.
Ordinary middle-class spiritual root practitioners like Zhou Xuanjin may not reach the Ninth level of Qi until they are 60 or 70 years old.
However, if an ordinary inferior spiritual root practitioner lives to the upper limit of the life of a friar during the Qi practice period, he may not be able to practice to the Ninth level of Qi practice!
A cruel reality is that the older the friars in the Qi training period, the more difficult it is to build the foundation. The probability of successful foundation building of friars in the ninth floor over the age of 60 is less than half that of friars under the age of 60. The probability of foundation building of friars over the age of 80 will drop again. Friars over the age of 100 have never heard of such a strange person in Zhou Yang.
With Zhou Yang's age and practice speed, his success rate in building the foundation is indeed much higher than that of ordinary people, which is why the old patriarch Zhou Minghan pays special attention to him.
It's a pity that BaoTi doesn't add a bonus to the success rate of friars' foundation building. Otherwise, after Zhou Yang's practice reaches the ninth floor of Qi practice, he can try to build a foundation.
Both of them understood these situations, so when they saw Zhou Yang's silence, Zhou Xuanjin quickly adjusted her mind and handed over the work with him.
"There are three main responsibilities for garrisoning Qingping mountain. First, after receiving the alarm from the manager assigned by the family to the mine, he went down to the mine to help the miners get rid of some first-order and second-order monsters who occasionally broke in; The second is to guard the miners' camp outside, timely receive the finished materials smelted in the camp and store them in the mountain warehouse, waiting for the family to send someone to collect them; The last thing is to take good care of the more than ten acres of spiritual land on the mountain, which is related to whether you can eat enough. "
"In addition, if powerful monsters and human friars can't deal with attack, don't easily leave the array range. The best way is to stick to the array, and then stimulate this third-order missionary talisman with blood essence to wait for family rescue."
"Finally, this is the control flag and control method of Qingping mountain array. I can't leave until you refine the flag and get familiar with the array."
As Zhou Xuanjin spoke, he handed Zhou Yang all the things that the garrison friars needed, and taught him how to use them hand in hand.
In this way, four or five days passed. Until Zhou Yang completely mastered the second-order array of "cloud sea light splitting array", Zhou Xuanjin returned to the family with the output results of qingpingshan vein in recent one year.
After Zhou Xuanjin left, Zhou Yang was the Zhou family with the highest status in Qingping mountain.
First, he summoned several managers of the Zhou family who were responsible for managing the mining and smelting of the ore vein, preliminarily understood the operation process, and handed them several sound symbols with their own breath, so that they could inform themselves in time when they have something to do.
These people can serve as the steward of the Zhou family and are all martial arts practitioners in the congenital environment. However, these people have no spiritual roots and can't practice magic power. They can only stay in the congenital environment all their life.
Of course, for ordinary people, the strength of the practitioners of the innate environment is enough to make them look up to it.
As long as a mortal becomes a practitioner of the innate environment and extracts the innate Qi from his body, he can walk like a galloping horse, be able to carry the tripod, easily defeat hundreds with one, and have great resistance to various diseases.
Unfortunately, mortals are mortals and have no spiritual roots. Even if they practice innate Qi, they can't cast even the lowest level of first-order magic.
The real immortals who have spiritual roots do not recognize that these mortals are also immortals, and they disdain to have any communication with them.
Zhou Yang doesn't discriminate against these mortal practitioners. However, these people have been discriminated against by real immortals for a long time. The concept of inferiority and dignity has long been deeply rooted in his heart. Even if he took the initiative to find them to chat, no one dared to really chat with him as an equal ethnic group. Therefore, he can only let these people leave uninteresting in the end.
In the following time, Zhou Yang's life will be simple.
Every morning, he meditates and breathes in the sun for three hours, and then practices the five spells he learned from the Sutra Pavilion for three hours. In this way, in the evening, he will spend half an hour weeding and weeding the gratifying Linggu in the Lingtian on the mountain.
The spirit pulse of Qingping mountain is only second-order and inferior. It is also an artificial spirit pulse. After supplying a Friar's daily cultivation needs in the later stage of Qi practice, only 23% of the spirit pulse remains.
Therefore, only about 15 mu of spiritual field has been opened up here. The spiritual Valley planted here is specially for the garrison friars, and there is no need to turn it over to the family.
The Linggu planted in these Lingtian fields is called [Jinzhu rice], which looks like the cotton tree of Zhou Yang's previous world. It is ripe once a year, and each plant bears dozens of fruits. After the fruits are ripe, you can harvest golden fruits. Because its fruits are like pearls, it is named [Jinzhu rice].
This kind of [golden pearl rice] grows in the spiritual field and needs to absorb aura to survive and mature. Therefore, in addition to rich nutrition and excellent taste, rice grains also contain a trace of aura, which is very conducive to the absorption of monks.
During the Qi training period, friars can eat [golden pearl rice] for a long time. Only a small bowl can meet the nutrition needs of the body for two or three days, and can slightly improve their cultivation accomplishments.
Even in the foundation building period and even in the purple mansion period, most of the meals eaten are made of this [golden pearl rice].
Zhou Yang began to practice at the age of four and spent only three years to complete the cultivation of the ninth floor of the innate environment. In addition to his good qualification, his parents often opened a small stove for him to eat this [golden pearl rice] every day, which has a great relationship with some low-level monster meat.
Because he is not the spirit planting husband, Zhou Yang doesn't know some spells that the spirit planting husband must learn to increase production in the spirit field. He can only water the [golden pearl rice] planted in the spirit field like ordinary farmers, remove weeds, catch insects and ensure that it won't die.
As long as he doesn't plant dead, with the output of more than ten mu of spiritual field, he can fully meet his daily food needs, and even have a lot of balance.
Zhou Yang knew that these balances were the garrison welfare granted by the family to the garrison monks. After all, it was the duty of every adult clansman to go down the mountain to complete the family task, but he would not receive additional rewards from the family.
After taking care of the spiritual field on the mountain for half an hour every day, Zhou Yang arranged to learn the art of refining utensils for the next half night.
He didn't start to refine utensils immediately. Instead, he carefully studied the ancient books and the notes of refining utensils given by the old clan leader, while practicing with the ore dug from the refined iron ore to learn the quenching and refining of the most basic materials of refining utensils.
Such a simple and fulfilling life is three years.
Three years later, Zhou Yang took out the materials given to him by the old patriarch and began to refine the utensils formally after he had thoroughly understood the knowledge recorded in the ancient utensils and had fully mastered the quenching technology of materials.
In order to save materials, he chose to refine the simplest first-order sword magic weapon [green blade sword].
The main material of the first-order magic weapon [Qingfeng sword] is refined iron. The handle of the sword can be made of century old iron and wood. The friar of congenital environment injects innate Qi with the magic weapon. According to the cultivator's accomplishments, he can stimulate sword light ranging from three inches to one foot to hurt the enemy.
It's easy to refine this magic weapon. First, quench the refined iron with spiritual fire to cast the sword embryo. Then, while maintaining the flame temperature to keep the sword embryo in a high-temperature heating state, a [sharp] prohibition is arranged in the sword embryo under the guidance of the immortal's magic divine knowledge.
When the prohibition is completed, the long sword is quenched. If the quenched sword body has the unique aura of magic tools, it means that the weapon has been refined this time. If not, only a sharper ordinary soldier will be obtained.
All this is simple to say, but it is not easy to do. Even if Zhou Yang had conceived the situation of refining countless times in his mind and practiced the arrangement process of [sharp] prohibition countless times in advance, there is no doubt that the first refining ended in failure.
With the sound of "bang" from the tripod, his first refining was over, and he didn't even reach the level of quenching.
Zhou Yang's enthusiasm was not hurt by the failure of the first refining, because he had never imagined that he would succeed at one time.
If you can master the art of refining utensils so well, the profession of refining utensils will not become the most popular profession in the world of cultivating immortals.
Any weapon refiner, even the most talented one, can't succeed at the first time.
Most weapon refiners have a little talent for refining tools, and then accumulate their skills by relying on countless materials.
Therefore, in the cultivation world, there are few tool refiners and alchemists in the scattered cultivation without schools and families, because they simply can't afford the wasted materials and money needed to learn these two skills.
Even if the Zhou family, which has foundation building monks, wants to cultivate a second-class tool refiner who can really make money, it is very difficult. We must select gifted children and invest a lot of money.
Before Zhou Yang, there were many "Xuan" generation friars in the Zhou family who studied weapon refining, but only his seventh uncle Zhou xuanlin was reluctantly promoted to a second-class weapon refiner, which was cultivated under the guidance of Zhou Minghan, a third-class weapon refiner, and after smashing thousands of spirit stones.
However, the limit of friars in the Qi training period is the second-order weapon refiner. If you want to become a third-order weapon refiner, you must first become a friar in the foundation period.
Therefore, Zhou Minghan said that he hoped Zhou Yang could inherit his weapon refining skill. The underlying meaning was that he hoped he could build a foundation successfully.
As long as he can build the foundation successfully and show a little talent for refining tools, even if he smashes it with a spirit stone, Zhou Minghan is sure to smash him into a third-class tool refiner!
Of course, Zhou Yang didn't know about this. He just felt that the refining materials were hard won and a pity to waste. Therefore, he didn't rush to try again immediately after the failure. Instead, he cleaned up the waste in the tripod and carefully summarized the experience and lessons.
When he felt certain, he began a new attempt again.
Such failure, summary, failure again, summary again
After seventeen failures, Zhou Yang finally succeeded in refining a finished product [green sword], and officially became a first-class tool refiner.
With the first successful experience, Zhou Yang's success rate is much better when he refines the ware later. Basically, he can succeed once after ten times.
After hundreds of times of refining and controlling the success rate to two tenths, he stopped refining the first-order magic instrument [green blade] and changed to refining another first-order magic instrument [flame knife].
The first-order magic weapon [flame knife] is also made of refined iron, but at the same time, it needs to be mixed with two tenths of the fire attribute spirit gold and red copper. After the magic weapon is practiced, the monk of congenital environment will inject congenital Qi with the magic weapon, which can stimulate the flame to adhere to the knife and cause burning damage to the enemy, and can also deal with some ghosts that can't be attacked by simple physical attack.
The refining process of [flame blade] is roughly the same as that of [green blade sword]. The difference is that when refining [flame blade], the prohibition placed in the blade body is not [sharp edge], but [flame].
Although Zhou Yang had a successful experience in refining [green blade], he failed to refine [flame blade] for the first time.
However, he summed up the experience of failure. He was lucky to succeed the second time, and then after dozens of refining, he successfully controlled the refining success rate of [flame knife] above 20%.
At this time, the old patriarch gave him a lot of basic refining materials, but he didn't continue refining. Instead, he handed over the finished magic tools he refined, the refining experience he summarized when refining, and the letters he wrote to his parents to the peer family friar Zhou Qi who came to collect the refined iron ore, Please take it back to the family, give it to the old patriarch and hand it over to his parents who are far away.
Zhou Qi ranks third among the "Yuan" generation of the Zhou family. His parents are ordinary mortals. He is 32 years old this year. However, because the quality of Linggen is only inferior, he has reached the third level of Qi practice only when his cultivation is worthy. There is no hope to build a foundation in this life.
When he heard that Zhou Yang had become a first-class tool refiner, he was naturally surprised. Then he took the things with joy and nodded hard: "don't worry, Ninth brother. I will bring the things and letters to the old patriarch, uncle and aunt."
After that, he paused, but with a serious and sincere look, politely told him, "but you should also practice well and don't focus on refining tools. You are the hope of the whole Zhou family. The elders and our brothers and sisters all expect you to build a foundation and successfully lead the Zhou family to continue!"
"What the third brother said is that I will practice hard and never let my elders down!" Zhou Yang nodded and replied with a positive face.
"Just know what you know. I'll go first."
Watching the family brother Zhou Qi leave, Zhou Yang restored the array as it was. He closed the door and looked at the long letter that his parents entrusted the family brother to bring him.
Zhou Yang's father, Zhou Xuanhao, devoted himself to practice in his early years. He didn't listen to the family elders' advice to get a wife and have children until he found that he had no hope of building a foundation at the age of 60.
At that time, his mother Lin Yuting was chased and killed by his enemies and fled to the oasis of Yuquan lake. They were saved by him. Therefore, they became husband and wife, and then gave birth to Zhou Yang in a few years.
Because they were both immortals, the first child was lucky enough to detect medium-quality spiritual roots. From then on, Zhou Yang became the heart of the parents. He was really afraid of breaking in the palm of his hand and melting in his mouth.
It is precisely because of the meticulous love of his parents since childhood that Zhou Yang, who has a memory of his previous life for 20 or 30 years, slowly put down everything in his previous life, accepted and recognized his parents in this life from the bottom of his heart, and recognized the whole Zhou family.
In order to make this son go further than themselves in practice, Zhou Xuanhao and Lin Yuting did not have any other children since then, and devoted all their energy to earning spirit stones and taking care of Zhou Yang.
Later, when they found that Zhou Yang had the talent of early wisdom and could take care of themselves, the couple handed him over to the elders of the family to take care of him. Then they sat in a shop opened by the family in a xiuxianfang city all year round and used their own alchemy and wine making skills to earn spiritual stones for the family and their son.
As a "passer-by", Zhou Yang understands the ideas of Zhou Xuanhao and Lin Yuting.
Just as his parents in his last life left his hometown to work in the city at a young age in order to provide him with education, what Zhou Xuanhao and Lin Yuting do now is also for him to build a foundation and go further on the road of practice in the future.
So he never resented seeing his parents all the year round. Instead, he wrote many letters to his parents from the elders of the trust family every year, telling them about his usual life experience. He knew that these seemingly boring things were what his parents wanted to see most.
"Yang'er, Qingping mountain is far away from the family. You must think twice before you do anything. Everything is mainly to protect yourself..."
"Son, mom, the restaurant business here is getting better and better recently. This is driven by the ideas you gave mom last time. My son is indeed a genius. He will become a friar in the foundation period in the future. No, he will become the ancestor of the golden elixir period!"
Zhou Yang looked at the letter written to him by his parents word by word. His face was full of sincere smiles. A simple letter from his parents was far more useful for his encouragement than thousands of words from others.
After reading the whole letter, he carefully put away the letter paper and whispered to himself, "there are two years left. When I finish the garrison task for the remaining two years, I will go home and prepare to break through the seventh floor of Qi training. As long as I break through the seventh floor of Qi training and promote to the later stage of Qi training, I will apply to the old clan leader to garrison in the square city, and then our family can be reunited!"
On the other hand, when Zhou Qi returned to the family with the magic tools and experience refined by Zhou Yang and handed them to the old patriarch, Zhou Minghan immediately attached great importance to it.
He personally checked the magic tools made by Zhou Yang one by one, pointed out the shortcomings and gave suggestions for improvement, and answered the questions recorded by Zhou Yang on the experience of refining tools one by one. Then he asked a family elder of the "light" generation to come and send some higher-level materials and experience of refining tools to Zhou Yang.
"Hahaha, Xiao Jiu, you are really striving for success. I've lived for hundreds of years. I'm so happy to see the old patriarch for the first time and pay so much attention to a younger generation. Now the name of Qilin son in your family has spread all over the family this week. Even those people in the secular world are talking about your deeds!"
The old man of the "light" generation of the Zhou family, who is responsible for delivering things to Zhou Yang, is named Zhou Quan. He ranks third among his peers and is the second of the eight elders of the Zhou family.
The old man is 112 years old and is very close to the life limit of the friar during the Qi training period. This time, if Zhou Minghan hadn't personally ordered him to go by name, no one in the family would dare to disturb the old man who was about to sit down.
"It's a sin for Grandpa Lao San to come here. It's a sin!"
Zhou Yang looked at the old man who smiled and his mouth leaked. He was moved and sighed secretly at the same time.
He knew that the old patriarch would never have let Zhou Quan, an old man who was about to sit down, come here unless all the friars in the family had their own tasks in the later stage of Qi practice.
The arrival of Zhou Quan not only showed that the old patriarch and the family valued him, but also exposed the family's lack of available manpower.
"Hehe, I'm old. It doesn't matter if I sit down tomorrow. If I can see an outstanding younger generation like you in the family before sitting down, I'll die in peace!"
Old man Zhou Quan smiled happily and patted Zhou Yang on the shoulder to show his closeness, but he had long been indifferent to life and death.
But he said so. After the next second, he couldn't help but sigh with regret: "it's a pity, it's a pity that I can't wait for the day you build the foundation, otherwise I will go to the yellow spring after my death and have the face to see the ancestors of Yuquan!"
The more his accomplishments increased, the greater the gap between him and his peers, and the more he felt the importance of qualification to low-level practitioners.
Only one or two spiritual root friars can be born among 10000 mortals. The offspring of friars have a high probability of producing spiritual roots, but it is only one in dozens.
Most of these people who have spiritual roots are mainly lower spiritual roots. On average, only one of the ten people can have a middle spiritual root friar. As for the top spiritual root, there are even fewer. It is difficult to have one of the 100 friars.
There are more than 100000 people in the Zhou family in Yuquan Lake oasis, but all the friars in the Qi training period of the Zhou family add up to less than 100, including seven or eight friars with a foreign surname who marry friars of the Zhou family.
Among the dozens of monks in the Zhou family, there is no top-grade spiritual root. Even Zhou Minghan, the old patriarch in the later stage of foundation building, is only a middle-grade spiritual root.
What is the influence of spiritual root quality on practitioners?
In the same period of Qi practice, one level of accomplishments, practicing the same skills, meditating and practicing in the same place. The effect of a lower level spiritual root practitioner meditating for ten days is equivalent to that of a middle level spiritual root practitioner meditating for one day.

All this is simple to say, but it is not easy to do. Even if Zhou Yang had conceived the situation of refining countless times in his mind and practiced the arrangement process of [sharp] prohibition countless times in advance, there is no doubt that the first refining ended in failure.
With the sound of "bang" from the tripod, his first refining was over, and he didn't even reach the level of quenching.
Zhou Yang's enthusiasm was not hurt by the failure of the first refining, because he had never imagined that he would succeed at one time.
If you can master the art of refining utensils so well, the profession of refining utensils will not become the most popular profession in the world of cultivating immortals.
Any weapon refiner, even the most talented one, can't succeed at the first time.
Most weapon refiners have a little talent for refining tools, and then accumulate their skills by relying on countless materials.
Therefore, in the cultivation world, there are few tool refiners and alchemists in the scattered cultivation without schools and families, because they simply can't afford the wasted materials and money needed to learn these two skills.
Even if the Zhou family, which has foundation building monks, wants to cultivate a second-class tool refiner who can really make money, it is very difficult. We must select gifted children and invest a lot of money.
Before Zhou Yang, there were many "Xuan" generation friars in the Zhou family who studied weapon refining, but only his seventh uncle Zhou xuanlin was reluctantly promoted to a second-class weapon refiner, which was cultivated under the guidance of Zhou Minghan, a third-class weapon refiner, and after smashing thousands of spirit stones.
However, the limit of friars in the Qi training period is the second-order weapon refiner. If you want to become a third-order weapon refiner, you must first become a friar in the foundation period.
Therefore, Zhou Minghan said that he hoped Zhou Yang could inherit his weapon refining skill. The underlying meaning was that he hoped he could build a foundation successfully.
As long as he can build the foundation successfully and show a little talent for refining tools, even if he smashes it with a spirit stone, Zhou Minghan is sure to smash him into a third-class tool refiner!
Of course, Zhou Yang didn't know about this. He just felt that the refining materials were hard won and a pity to waste. Therefore, he didn't rush to try again immediately after the failure. Instead, he cleaned up the waste in the tripod and carefully summarized the experience and lessons.
When he felt certain, he began a new attempt again.
Such failure, summary, failure again, summary again
After seventeen failures, Zhou Yang finally succeeded in refining a finished product [green sword], and officially became a first-class tool refiner.
With the first successful experience, Zhou Yang's success rate is much better when he refines the ware later. Basically, he can succeed once after ten times.
After hundreds of times of refining and controlling the success rate to two tenths, he stopped refining the first-order magic instrument [green blade] and changed to refining another first-order magic instrument [flame knife].
The first-order magic weapon [flame knife] is also made of refined iron, but at the same time, it needs to be mixed with two tenths of the fire attribute spirit gold and red copper. After the magic weapon is practiced, the monk of congenital environment will inject congenital Qi with the magic weapon, which can stimulate the flame to adhere to the knife and cause burning damage to the enemy, and can also deal with some ghosts that can't be attacked by simple physical attack.
The refining process of [flame blade] is roughly the same as that of [green blade sword]. The difference is that when refining [flame blade], the prohibition placed in the blade body is not [sharp edge], but [flame].
Although Zhou Yang had a successful experience in refining [green blade], he failed to refine [flame blade] for the first time.
However, he summed up the experience of failure. He was lucky to succeed the second time, and then after dozens of refining, he successfully controlled the refining success rate of [flame knife] above 20%.
At this time, the old patriarch gave him a lot of basic refining materials, but he didn't continue refining. Instead, he handed over the finished magic tools he refined, the refining experience he summarized when refining, and the letters he wrote to his parents to the peer family friar Zhou Qi who came to collect the refined iron ore, Please take it back to the family, give it to the old patriarch and hand it over to his parents who are far away.
Zhou Qi ranks third among the "Yuan" generation of the Zhou family. His parents are ordinary mortals. He is 32 years old this year. However, because the quality of Linggen is only inferior, he has reached the third level of Qi practice only when his cultivation is worthy. There is no hope to build a foundation in this life.
When he heard that Zhou Yang had become a first-class tool refiner, he was naturally surprised. Then he took the things with joy and nodded hard: "don't worry, Ninth brother. I will bring the things and letters to the old patriarch, uncle and aunt."
After that, he paused, but with a serious and sincere look, politely told him, "but you should also practice well and don't focus on refining tools. You are the hope of the whole Zhou family. The elders and our brothers and sisters all expect you to build a foundation and successfully lead the Zhou family to continue!"
"What the third brother said is that I will practice hard and never let my elders down!" Zhou Yang nodded and replied with a positive face.
"Just know what you know. I'll go first."
Watching the family brother Zhou Qi leave, Zhou Yang restored the array as it was. He closed the door and looked at the long letter that his parents entrusted the family brother to bring him.
Zhou Yang's father, Zhou Xuanhao, devoted himself to practice in his early years. He didn't listen to the family elders' advice to get a wife and have children until he found that he had no hope of building a foundation at the age of 60.
At that time, his mother Lin Yuting was chased and killed by his enemies and fled to the oasis of Yuquan lake. They were saved by him. Therefore, they became husband and wife, and then gave birth to Zhou Yang in a few years.
Because they were both immortals, the first child was lucky enough to detect medium-quality spiritual roots. From then on, Zhou Yang became the heart of the parents. He was really afraid of breaking in the palm of his hand and melting in his mouth.
It is precisely because of the meticulous love of his parents since childhood that Zhou Yang, who has a memory of his previous life for 20 or 30 years, slowly put down everything in his previous life, accepted and recognized his parents in this life from the bottom of his heart, and recognized the whole Zhou family.
In order to make this son go further than themselves in practice, Zhou Xuanhao and Lin Yuting did not have any other children since then, and devoted all their energy to earning spirit stones and taking care of Zhou Yang.
Later, when they found that Zhou Yang had the talent of early wisdom and could take care of themselves, the couple handed him over to the elders of the family to take care of him. Then they sat in a shop opened by the family in a xiuxianfang city all year round and used their own alchemy and wine making skills to earn spiritual stones for the family and their son.
As a "passer-by", Zhou Yang understands the ideas of Zhou Xuanhao and Lin Yuting.
Just as his parents in his last life left his hometown to work in the city at a young age in order to provide him with education, what Zhou Xuanhao and Lin Yuting do now is also for him to build a foundation and go further on the road of practice in the future.
So he never resented seeing his parents all the year round. Instead, he wrote many letters to his parents from the elders of the trust family every year, telling them about his usual life experience. He knew that these seemingly boring things were what his parents wanted to see most.
"Yang'er, Qingping mountain is far away from the family. You must think twice before you do anything. Everything is mainly to protect yourself..."
"Son, mom, the restaurant business here is getting better and better recently. This is driven by the ideas you gave mom last time. My son is indeed a genius. He will become a friar in the foundation period in the future. No, he will become the ancestor of the golden elixir period!"
Zhou Yang looked at the letter written to him by his parents word by word. His face was full of sincere smiles. A simple letter from his parents was far more useful for his encouragement than thousands of words from others.
After reading the whole letter, he carefully put away the letter paper and whispered to himself, "there are two years left. When I finish the garrison task for the remaining two years, I will go home and prepare to break through the seventh floor of Qi training. As long as I break through the seventh floor of Qi training and promote to the later stage of Qi training, I will apply to the old clan leader to garrison in the square city, and then our family can be reunited!"
On the other hand, when Zhou Qi returned to the family with the magic tools and experience refined by Zhou Yang and handed them to the old patriarch, Zhou Minghan immediately attached great importance to it.
He personally checked the magic tools made by Zhou Yang one by one, pointed out the shortcomings and gave suggestions for improvement, and answered the questions recorded by Zhou Yang on the experience of refining tools one by one. Then he asked a family elder of the "light" generation to come and send some higher-level materials and experience of refining tools to Zhou Yang.
"Hahaha, Xiao Jiu, you are really striving for success. I've lived for hundreds of years. I'm so happy to see the old patriarch for the first time and pay so much attention to a younger generation. Now the name of Qilin son in your family has spread all over the family this week. Even those people in the secular world are talking about your deeds!"
The old man of the "light" generation of the Zhou family, who is responsible for delivering things to Zhou Yang, is named Zhou Quan. He ranks third among his peers and is the second of the eight elders of the Zhou family.
The old man is 112 years old and is very close to the life limit of the friar during the Qi training period. This time, if Zhou Minghan hadn't personally ordered him to go by name, no one in the family would dare to disturb the old man who was about to sit down.
"It's a sin for Grandpa Lao San to come here. It's a sin!"
Zhou Yang looked at the old man who smiled and his mouth leaked. He was moved and sighed secretly at the same time.
He knew that the old patriarch would never have let Zhou Quan, an old man who was about to sit down, come here unless all the friars in the family had their own tasks in the later stage of Qi practice.
The arrival of Zhou Quan not only showed that the old patriarch and the family valued him, but also exposed the family's lack of available manpower.
"Hehe, I'm old. It doesn't matter if I sit down tomorrow. If I can see an outstanding younger generation like you in the family before sitting down, I'll die in peace!"
Old man Zhou Quan smiled happily and patted Zhou Yang on the shoulder to show his closeness, but he had long been indifferent to life and death.
But he said so. After the next second, he couldn't help but sigh with regret: "it's a pity, it's a pity that I can't wait for the day you build the foundation, otherwise I will go to the yellow spring after my death and have the face to see the ancestors of Yuquan!"
