Chapter 157: Dao Yi is out of the customs, and the cloud python turns into a Jiao [ask for subscription]
Time passed, and soon the joint fighting competition of the five major immortal cultivation families was held in Jiufengling, Zhoujiashan Gate.
Although it is a joint fighting competition of the five major immortal cultivation families, because the Mu family of Biyun Mountain suffered a catastrophe, this time they can only run together.
And in order to make this event a success, the Zhou family also invited many people who have made friends with forces to come over to watch the ceremony.
It also includes the pill Li family and the formation You family, who were originally friends.
With the vigorous development of the Zhou family in Jiufengling, the two families have also regained their friendship with the Zhou family, and gradually have more contacts.
The main reason is that now Qinglian Guan is not so wary of them, even if they move back and forth with each other, they no longer have to worry about them reuniting into a force.
"Brother Chongshan, speaking of such a grand event today, why don't you see Brother Daoyi come out to preside? The old man and Brother Daoyi haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and they miss him very much! ”
After the representative of the You family of the formation, an old man named Eu Jinfang who was a late cultivator of the foundation building stage, arrived at the scene, and saw that the person who presided over the event on behalf of the Zhou family today turned out to be Zhou Chun, a junior who had never seen before, he couldn't help frowning, and asked Zhou Chongshan, the second elder of the Zhou family, beside him, about the whereabouts of Zhou Daoyi, the patriarch of the Zhou family.
"Patriarch, he is now in retreat and impacting the late stage of foundation building, but he can't come out to preside over this grand event."
Zhou Chongshan responded to the other party's question in a calm tone, and then said in a firm tone: "And Zhengchun is the next patriarch of my Zhou family, and he will preside over this grand event, and I also think it is very appropriate." ”
He naturally heard the contempt for Zhou Chun in Eugene Fang's words, so he would firmly defend Zhou Chun's position at this time.
When Eugene Fang heard his words, he was also slightly stunned, then smiled and didn't answer again.
This attitude made Zhou Chongshan even more unhappy.
It is true that he studied under the monks of the You family, but that does not mean that he can sit back and watch the You family humiliate the Zhou family.
Moreover, when he was learning art, the Zhou family also paid enough tuition for him, and he didn't owe much to the You family.
"Zhengchun Xiaoyou is still very good, the old man has also heard of his name in the Li family, the Zhou family can have such an excellent descendant, it is indeed enviable!"
At this moment, the representative monk of the Li family named Li Cunguang on the side smiled and spoke to ease the atmosphere, which could be regarded as relieving Zhou Chongshan.
Compared with the You family, the Li family and the Zhou family have a deeper friendship and closer cooperation.
Therefore, for the understanding of the situation of the Zhou family today, the Li family monks have more information.
The Zhou family has been presided over by Zhou Chun, the deputy patriarch, for several years, and Li Cunguang has heard about it a long time ago.
And after listening to Li Cunguang's praise, Zhou Chongshan's face really improved a lot.
Then he also looked at Li Cunguang and nodded with a smile: "Although Zhengchun is good, but compared with Brother Li, the genius of your Li family, it is nothing, the old man heard that your Li family got a pair of twin baby boys a few years ago, and the two brothers are both high-grade spiritual root qualifications, this kind of thing, it is really rare to see in a thousand years!" ”
Li Cunguang couldn't help laughing when he said this: "Hahaha, I don't want this matter to reach your ears Brother Chongshan, it seems that those two boys are really famous before they become teachers!" ”
Although the number of twin brothers in the immortal cultivation world is small, it is not impossible to find them.
But the two brothers are both high-grade spiritual root qualifications, which is very rare as Zhou Chongshan said.
Such a pair of brothers, who were born in a great family of immortal cultivators like the Li family, must have extraordinary achievements in the future.
A monk of the Li family, such as Li Cunguang, is of course happy from the bottom of his heart for the emergence of such a genius junior in his family.
And seeing that the topic came to this, Eugene Fang couldn't help but interject and said: "It is said that after hearing the news, some people on the Qinglian Temple side want their brothers to worship in it, Brother Cunguang, will your ancestor agree to this?" ”
"I don't know this Li, how the ancestor acts, it's not for me to speculate!"
Li Cunguang's eyes flashed, he shook his head lightly, and did not speak.
It's boring like this, and Eugene Fang's eyes sank, and he didn't speak again.
They were chatting in the audience, but the monks of several families in the ring were already in full swing.
This time, the participating monks of the Wang family, the Sun family, and the He family are also very strong.
Especially the He family in Qingzhu Mountain, maybe because they were not satisfied with the results of the last fighting competition, this time they want to find it back, the participating monks of the He family are full of fighting spirit and their performance is very eye-catching.
When the top ten players in the youth group appeared, the He family accounted for four, then the Wang family accounted for two, the Sun family accounted for three, and the Zhou family barely accounted for one.
At the same time, on the side of the elite group, the top three in the Zhou family's previous internal martial arts activities also successfully entered the top ten, finally saving face for the family as the organizer.
Seeing this scene, Wang Zhixiong, the patriarch of the Wang family, couldn't help but smile at Zhou Chun: "Fortunately, Zhou Daoyou succeeded in building the foundation, otherwise if Zhou Daoyou participates in the elite group this time, I'm afraid that the Zhou family will occupy forty percent of the top ten!" ”
When Zhou Chun heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "When Wang Daoyou said this, Zhou didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed!" ”
Then he shook his head and said: "This time, I can still occupy three places in the elite group, and next time I don't have the old book to eat, I'm afraid that our Zhou family will be at the bottom!" ”
"Zhou Daoyou's words are too modest, the changes of the Zhou family in the past ten years, we have seen it in our eyes, it is worthy of the former millennium family, and the background is indeed not comparable to our small families!"
Sun Zhongping, the patriarch of the Sun family, also interjected at this time, and his words were full of emotion.
The Sun family and the Zhou family were the closest, and he knew better than the other patriarchs how much the Zhou family had changed.
In the past, he also felt that the Sun family was not necessarily inferior to the down-and-out Zhou family.
But after witnessing the changes of the Zhou family for more than ten years, he must admit that the Sun family is indeed worse than the Zhou family in every aspect.
This feeling is not only Sun Zhongping, but also the patriarch of the He family and Wang Zhixiong next to him.
And Mu Yuntian, the helmsman of the Mu family, said even more at this time: "What Sun Daoyou said is good, in terms of strength, the Zhou family is indeed not comparable to us, and being able to form an alliance with the Zhou family is the most correct choice our family made at the beginning!" ”
The Mu family is now deeply favored by the Zhou family, and he is naturally not hesitant to shout for the Zhou family in this kind of scene.
"Mu Daoyou is right, forming an alliance with the Zhou family is indeed the right thing we did at the beginning."
Wang Zhixiong glanced at Mu Yuntian, and also smiled lightly, smiling and holding the scene.
Now the take-off of the Zhou family seems to be unstoppable, whether they are envious or jealous, they must deepen their friendship with the Zhou family.
"All the Taoist friends have been raised, and we have always been very grateful to the recognition and acceptance of the Taoist family, and our Zhou family has always remembered the help of the Taoist family over the years."
"In the future, we will have to watch and help each other, and advance and retreat together!"
Zhou Chun arched his hand, and also responded with a smile on his face.
Obviously, his response made Wang Zhixiong and the others very satisfied, and they all showed satisfied smiles on their faces.
In the next competition for the top three, the Zhou family in the youth group took the initiative to give up, and only the three of them in the elite group wanted to try their best.
However, in the final competition for the first place, Zhou Zhengyong still regrettably lost to the monks of the Sun family.
After all, his cultivation was one level inferior to the other party, and the other party seemed to have stayed in the twelfth layer of the Qi refining period for several years, and his spell cultivation was very proficient, and he had also practiced a secret technique that was no worse than the "Xin Jin Sword Qi".
Even though he sacrificed the green bronze tripod magic weapon and the red copper ball magic weapon given by Zhou Chun, he was also defeated by the other party's secret technique.
In the first place in the last elite group, the Wang family took out a Tsukidan as a reward.
But that's because they are sure of winning, so they will take out this thing as a reward to save face for the family.
The Zhou family didn't have such a sure win this time, and they couldn't take out such a precious thing as Zhuji Dan.
Therefore, the reward for the first place in the elite group was replaced with a second-order low-grade magic weapon.
And to make up for it, for the rewards of the monks in the back, the Zhou family took out a lot of reserves of demon beast eggs and demon beast cubs as rewards.
In short, although the Zhou family gained a lot of face this time, they also paid a lot of things.
But this must be paid, because the next time it is the turn of other families to hold an event, the Zhou family can also take other people's things for nothing.
After the end of this activity, Zhou Chun also led the elders of the Zhou family to personally send the monks who came to watch the ceremony out of the mountain gate.
After sending off all the visitors, several senior executives of the Zhou family got together and talked about the results of the event.
I only heard Zhou Chun say first: "Although we failed to win the first place this time, our Zhou family can be regarded as saving face and not making a big fool." ”
"And after this event, our Zhou family can be regarded as completely united with several other families, at least the people of their families will no longer treat our Zhou family as outsiders in the future!"
Then Zhou Chongshan also nodded and said: "Zhengchun is right, although this event has cost the family a lot of money, it has also allowed the family to show its influence, at least the Li family and the You family will know through this event that although our Zhou family is a little worse now, it will not be much worse than them!" ”
When these words fell, the third elder Zhou Daoquan said with deep agreement: "What the second elder said is that although the Li family and the You family are powerful, they are basically isolated by the local forces. ”
"Now they can still eat the old book, and they can't see anything, but if they haven't been able to integrate into Yasukuni after a hundred years, after the old book is eaten, they want to feed that big family, but it's not so easy!"
The greater the power, the more resources it needs to occupy to support itself.
However, the Li family, the You family, and the Zhou family are all outsiders, and it is not easy to have a piece of land to accommodate them, and it is impossible to stake land.
And if you can't stake land and occupy resource points such as ore veins and Lingshan, you can't open a fang market to collect rent.
A big family like the Li family and the You family, which has hundreds of immortal cultivators, will be very sad.
After all, the more people there are, the more people with higher cultivation levels, and the more resources they need to support them.
If you just rely on the Li family's own alchemy skills and the You family's formation skills, it is simply unrealistic to feed such a big family!
However, because of their own huge size, other local immortal cultivation families in Lanzhou did not dare or are qualified to ally with them and carry out in-depth cooperation and exchanges.
In this way, if you can't absorb resources from the local immortal cultivation family, the family's finances will not be able to make ends meet, and the old Ben will soon run out of food.
At that time, a huge Li family and You family are likely to split into multiple small families, each of which will find another way to make a living.
This is almost an overt conspiracy, and many people can see it.
Therefore, Zhou Chongshan also gloated a little at this time and said: "The Li family and the You family are like this, and the same is true of those guys in the Spirit Beast Villa, and even they will be even worse than these two!" ”
"According to the old man, if the Dragon Sect doesn't have a bigger action in the future, it's okay, if there is a bigger action, as long as Qinglian Guan gives some sweetness, I'm afraid they can only obediently use others as cannon fodder to consume."
"At that time, even their Jindan Stage Ancestors will have to go to the front line!"
He had friendships with many monks of the three families, which should not have been like this.
But the Zhou family has been in trouble over the years, and when they encountered danger several times, they ignored their previous friendships and never came to help.
And now the monks of the two families seem to have the mentality of being above the Zhou family, and feel that the Zhou family is no longer worthy of being compared with them.
This annoyed him greatly.
So it's no surprise that now it's a bit of schadenfreude.
"The Li family and the You family, let's leave them alone, anyway, if they want to maintain their friendship, we don't have to beg them, lest it seem that our Zhou family will not be able to live without them!"
Zhou Chun also didn't have much affection for these two former worldly families, so he didn't want to talk about the two families at this time.
As for the Spirit Beast Villa, in his heart, it was a hostile force, and if the Zhou family had a chance in the future, they would definitely be the target of the attack, and now there was no need to discuss it.
Next, after briefly sharing the family's recent financial income and expenditure, and demographic changes, Zhou Chun asked the elders to go back first.
After another half a year, Zhou Daoyi, who had been in retreat for several years, finally successfully broke through to the late stage of foundation building.
"Congratulations to the patriarch for cultivating for the great advancement, and my Zhou family has another late-stage foundation building monk."
In the Zhongping Palace, Zhou Chun saw Zhou Daoyi, who had come after the successful exit, and immediately saluted happily and hurriedly congratulated.
"It's just expected, what's there to congratulate."
Zhou Daoyi waved his hand, then looked at Zhou Chun and asked, "It seems that in the past few years of retreat, a lot of things have happened in the family?" ”
"Something happened, but it's not a big deal, and it's not worth alarming you, patriarch."
Zhou Chun said, and briefly explained the various things that have happened in the past few years.
Finally, he looked at Zhou Daoyi with an expectant face and asked, "Patriarch, since you have broken through, when will there be a result of the Qingyun Python turning into a Jiao that day?" ”
"Two years ago, I gave the Qingqing Inner Pill to Qingqing, and now it is still sleeping and digesting the power of the Inner Pill, and it may take a year or two to see results!"
After Zhou Daoyi finished speaking, his consciousness suddenly moved, and he said to Zhou Chun: "Elder Taishang is summoned, this seat will not talk to you more first, and I will talk about it when I come back." ”
