Zhou Daoyi's return soon alarmed Zhou Daoquan, who had recovered from retreat in Longxing Valley.

After hearing about Zhou Daoyi's situation, he hurriedly went out of the customs and went to Zhou Daoyi's resting place to visit.

"Daoyi, where have you been these days? How could it hurt like this! ”

In the room, as soon as Zhou Daoquan saw Zhou Daoyi, his complexion changed, and he saw at a glance the fact that Zhou Daoyi was now seriously injured.

"I was unlucky, I encountered the attacks and sieges of powerful demon beasts one after another, and I escaped with my life!"

Zhou Daoyi shook his head with a wry smile and whispered about what happened to him.

It turned out that after he and Zhou Chun and the others escaped separately that day, they also used the "Blood Shadow Escape" secret technique to speed up the escape.

At that time, although he didn't know that the fourth-order demon beast he was chasing was actually a fourth-order thunder Jiao, he also realized rationally that if he continued to ride the frog to escape, it would be easy to be followed.

After all, Qingjiao's target was too big, and the aura he emitted was much stronger than that of a human immortal cultivator, so it was easy to be tracked.

But his luck was still not very good, and he was selected by the fourth-order Lei Jiao as a tracking target!

Perhaps this is also related to the fact that he is the owner of the frog, and his body is contaminated with a relatively strong frog atmosphere.

But fortunately, the speed of the "Blood Shadow Escape" is very fast, and the breath residue is much weaker than the normal Flying Escape, which is not easy to track.

In short, Zhou Daoyi successfully shook off the fourth-order Thunder Jiao through the "Blood Shadow Escape", and he did not meet with him.

But unfortunately, after the end of the "Blood Shadow Escape", Zhou Daoyi encountered an attack by a powerful demon beast on a strange water area because of the exposure of his whereabouts.

At that time, the demon beast that attacked him was a third-order high-grade demon beast "Dragon Scale Golden Shark", a kind of water fish demon with the blood of a dragon.

This demon beast has a fierce temperament and strong strength, Zhou Daoyi is not an opponent at all, so he can only summon the frog to help him fight, and flee while fighting.

But even with the help of frogs, the "dragon scale golden shark" was also biting tightly, chasing the master and servant all the way.

As a result, it didn't take long for them to fight, and the movement of their battle was too great, which attracted the attention of a third-order mid-grade demon beast "Poison Eye Water Demon".

Probably because of the Long Yuanze Water Demon, the "Dragon Scale Golden Shark" and the "Poison-eyed Water Demon" quickly joined forces to launch a siege against Zhou Daoyi's master and servant.

Two-on-two, cultivation was suppressed, and his own essence and blood were greatly consumed, even if Zhou Daoyi had the help of Qingjiao, he quickly fell into an absolute disadvantage.

Thanks to Qingjiao's desperate fight, he successfully took him to escape from the pursuit of the two demon beasts.

However, Zhou Daoyi's bad luck did not end because he broke away from this pursuit.

When he finally escaped to the shore with the help of the frog, he just found a place to rest and recuperate, but he didn't expect to bump into two "wind and thunder martens" with cubs.

The "Wind Thunder Marten" is also a type of high-level demon beast, one of these two "Wind Thunder Martens" is a third-order middle-grade demon beast, and the other is also a third-order low-grade demon beast.

The intrusion of Zhou Daoyi and Qingjiao caused the two "Wind Thunder Martens" with cubs to form a great stress reaction, and immediately launched a crazy attack on their master and servant.

Zhou Daoyi's master and servant, who was already about to be exhausted, how could he be the opponent of the third-order demon beast with two eager cubs at this time!

After a fierce fight, the master and servant were all hit hard by the attack of the "Wind Thunder Marten", and finally forced the frog Jiao to spit out the demon pill to participate in the battle, only to deter the two crazy "Wind Thunder Marten" and let them successfully escape from their territory.

And this series of battles, coupled with the essence and blood vitality consumed by casting the "Blood Shadow Escape", made Zhou Daoyi's injuries extremely serious, and he couldn't even do a basic long-distance flight.

At the same time, the frog was also seriously injured in the bloody battle with the two "wind and thunder martens" and urgently needed to recuperate.

In this case, Zhou Daoyi could only find a random place in the wilderness to take medicine to recuperate and breathe a sigh of relief.

The rest of the matter was simple, and after his injuries improved a little, he hurriedly set out on the way home.

"I see, no wonder Dao Yi will come back after so long!"

After Zhou Daoquan listened to Zhou Daoyi's story, he was also emotionally moved by his bumpy experience.

Then he nodded again and again: "But it's good that people can come back, it's good that they can come back, if Uncle and Zhengchun know the news of your return, they will definitely be very happy!" ”

When Zhou Daoyi heard his words, he immediately said: "I am not recovered from my injuries now, I am afraid that it will be difficult to return to the family alone, and I still need to ask my clan brother to help escort me back." ”

"No problem, this is as it should be, after I explain a few words to Zhengyong, I will escort you back."

Zhou Daoquan readily agreed, and then arranged it, and escorted Zhou Daoyi to the family.

After the two arrived at Jiufeng Ridge, they saw Zhou Daoyi who had returned, and Zhou Chun, who had not shown much of a smile for several months, finally showed a smile from the heart.

"It's really the blessing of the ancestors, it's great that you can return safely, Elder Taishang!"

He was full of joy and happy for Zhou Daoyi's return, and all the sorrows in his heart dissipated at this moment.

As happy as he was, there were all the other Zhou family members.

And because Zhou Daoyi's injuries were too serious, he only had time to meet Zhou Chun and other important members of the Zhou family, so he hurriedly returned to the cave to retreat and recuperate.

This time, the injuries on his body are too serious, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to recover without three and five years of recuperation.

However, as long as others can come back alive, these are all minor problems for the Zhou family.

After Zhou Chun let go of this worry, he also regained his energy to deal with various family affairs, and no longer studied the white jade bead in his body.

In the five years since, the situation in Yasukuni and the Zhou family has been relatively stable.

Tianjingmen probably also needs to digest and integrate the personnel forces that have taken refuge in them, and they have not made any surprising moves.

Of course, Zhou Chun is more willing to believe that it is the real person of Tianjing, who still needs time to precipitate and become familiar with the power of the Yuan Infant Realm.

And the war on Fengguo's side did not turn into a full-scale war as Zhou Chun thought at the beginning.

Zhengyang Palace seems to regard the Corpse Demon Sect as an object of sharpening the disciples of the Sect, and sent many disciples of the Sect to Fengguo to participate in the war, but it is not for the purpose of conquering the city, but simply looking for the Corpse Demon Sect monks to fight.

The Jingyang faction also seemed to have other plans, and they were not in a hurry to conquer the city, but they heard that they were recruiting disciples on a large scale, and the number of sects had increased a lot.

In short, in Zhou Chun's opinion, these two forces chose to be enemies of the Corpse Demon Sect, not because they had any intention of eliminating demons and defending the Dao, but all for the sake of profit!

Perhaps it was because they also saw this, and the Li family and the formation You family, who were originally ready to move, were honest again.

Speaking of the Zhou family, in the past five years, the family has added two new foundation building monks, namely Zhou Xindie and Xu Fu.

Both of these people have successfully taken the Zhuyuan Fruit to build the foundation, and Xu Fu's one is a special reward from Zhou Chun, and it does not occupy the exchange quota of the Zhou family.

There are successes and failures.

At that time, Zhou Chun took out the four Zhuyuan Fruits for the Zhou family to exchange, and three were exchanged for three in five years, but except for Zhou Xindie's success, the other two failed.

The two who failed were very unlucky, and they did not save their lives, and died directly in the retreat room.

This kind of situation really shocked many Zhou family monks.

Over the years, because the Zhou family has always been able to exchange for Zhuji Dan, most of these Zhou family monks have not taken the risk of foundation building in their eyes, and feel that as long as they exchange for auxiliary foundation building spiritual objects, they can save their lives even if they fail.

But this time, the two of them died in the foundation building level, which finally made them realize the difficulty of building the foundation, and they no longer dared to be as optimistic as before.

At the same time, the number of monks of the Zhou family who dared to lend good deeds to others to exchange for spiritual objects for foundation building was also rapidly decreasing.

After all, no one can guarantee whether the person who borrowed his good deeds will have the life to come out of the secret room alive and whether he will be able to succeed.

In this way, with the large reduction in the number of monks who are willing to lend good deeds, the difficulty for other Zhou family monks to exchange for Zhuyuan Fruit and Zhuji Dan has increased a lot, and it has also invisibly alleviated the difficulty of supplying these auxiliary foundation building spiritual objects.

On the other side, it was just like what Zhou Chun thought at the beginning.

Xu Fu's success in building the foundation had a great incentive effect on the dead soldiers of the Zhou family, and they were completely determined to stay in Longxing Valley from then on, and they all wanted to fight for their own future like Xu Fu.

And Zhou Chun's side also restarted the cultivation of the family's dead soldiers, and began to search for those mortals with spiritual root qualifications.

The difference is that this time these people will be sent directly to Longxing Valley for cultivation.

In the past five years, Xu Fu and others on the other side of Longxing Valley have drawn maps within a range of 1,500 miles.

Without taking into account those migrating and wandering demon beasts, as long as they followed the map, even a few Qi Refining Stage cultivators would be able to survive in the wilderness for a few days.

This kind of progress is not much worse than the efficiency of the pioneer base in Yunzhou.

At the same time, during this period, Xu Fu and the others also found a spiritual jade vein.

That spirit jade vein can mine several kinds of spirit jade with different uses, and the value is still quite large.

It's a pity that the location of the ore vein is too far away from Longxing Valley, the straight-line distance is more than eight hundred miles, and there is still a dangerous place where third-order demon beasts are entrenched around.

This made Zhou Chun and the Zhou family dare not have any thoughts about it for the time being, so they can only remember the location first and slowly figure it out.

However, Zhou Chun still explained to Xu Fu and the others that he wanted to find a new base in the direction of the Lingyu vein.

Longxing Valley is still too small, and the resources around it are not particularly rich, and they have been looted.

Therefore, it is imperative to find a better place to establish a stronghold.

It just so happens that with the success of Zhou Xindie's foundation building, her skills in the formation have also made great progress, not to mention being able to arrange a forbidden formation like the "Five Directions Miluo Array" alone, the idle formation is still difficult for her, and it is enough to play a role in establishing a stronghold.

In addition, relying on the large amount of resources collected from the wilderness, the Zhou family's Dan, weapons, talismans, beasts and other aspects have also developed rapidly.

Not to mention the low-level pills such as the Beast Spirit Pill, the Demon Spirit Pill that can improve the cultivation of second-order demon beasts, has been refined into several furnaces, but Zhou Chun and other monks with second-order demon beasts have all opened a meat.

Because of this, Zhou Chun also got seven or eight demon spirit pills, all of which he threw into the silver lightning thunder python in vain.

Now that his own cultivation is very close to the late stage of foundation building, the Silver Lightning Thunder Python is still a lot away from being promoted to a second-order high-grade demon beast, and Zhou Chun must focus on cultivating it.

In addition to Zhou Chun, other Zhou family elders also benefited from the improvement of the Zhou family's heritage, and they each gained a lot.

Zhou Jiarui, who was the first to succeed in building the foundation, has promoted his cultivation to the middle stage of foundation building, and Zhou Jiahe and Zhou Jiapeng are also soon.

And the Blue Feather Fire Kite Egg that Zhou Jiahe exchanged at that time has now grown into a first-order high-grade demon beast, with the supply of demon spirit pills, and it is only a matter of time before it is promoted to a second-order demon beast in the future.

As for those Qi Refining Stage cultivators, they were even more comfortable.

Now the types of demon beasts that the Zhou family provided to these clansmen were completely incomparable to before, and the various pills and magic weapons they could exchange from the family were also much richer than before.

It may be difficult to find someone among them who is as top-notch as Zhou Chun was at that time, but their general strength is much stronger than that of the Zhou family's Qi refining period cultivators at Zhou Chun's time.

With sufficient resources to cultivate, as long as they are Zhou family cultivators with mid-grade spiritual root qualifications, as long as they work diligently, most of them will be able to cultivate to the twelfth level of the Qi Refining Stage before the age of fifty.

Some people who are supported and cared for by their elders are expected to reach this level at the age of 40.

Unconsciously, the one who provoked the pillars of the Zhou family has become a monk of the "positive" character and a monk of the "heart" character.

Most of the older generation of "family" monks have passed away, while the new generation of "Si" is thriving.

On this day, the arrival of an invitation made Zhou Chun feel full of emotion in his heart after reading it.

The letter was sent by the Wang family of the Red Medicine Valley, who had been friends with the Zhou family, and the letter said that Wang Zhixiong, the previous patriarch of the Wang family, had passed away.

This reminded Zhou Chun of the first time he saw this person.

When he first met Wang Zhixiong, it was not long after the Zhou family took root in Jiufengling, and he tried his best to squeeze into the circle of the Wang family, and was able to participate in the joint fighting competition of the five major immortal cultivation families.

At that time, in front of Wang Zhixiong, even Zhou Daoyi, the patriarch of the Zhou family, had to be humble.

But the world has changed in time, sixty or seventy years have passed, Zhou Daoyi has already become a monk in the Purple Mansion period, Zhou Chun has already successfully built a foundation, and the Zhou family has surpassed the Wang family several times in strength.

And Wang Zhixiong, the former high-spirited patriarch of the Wang family, has now run out of life and passed away.

"Wang Daoyou is gone, the Wang family has lost another cadre, Wang Guangping's predecessors heard that the longevity is not long, and the Wang family, which has been inherited for nearly a thousand years, is it going to decline?"

Zhou Chun sighed slightly, very emotional.

Perhaps this is the fate that every force cannot avoid.

If there is no successor who can succeed him, when the incumbent passes one after another, the decline of a power is inevitable.

The difference may be that some large forces still have a chance to recover after the normal decline, while the small forces are likely to disappear after the decline.
