In the end, Zhou Xinyan's cultivation of "Jiamu Xuangong", which is also very dangerous, can only depend on his own creation.

After the immortal cultivator built the foundation, the path almost began to be fixed.

There were so many immortal cultivators in the foundation building period of the Zhou family, but there were few monks who chose to practice the same exercises.

Everyone practices different exercises, and when they encounter some difficulties in cultivation, most of the time they can only find ways to solve them by themselves.

It seems that he, Zhou Chun, has never practiced "Jiamu Xuangong", and when Zhou Xinyan encounters difficulties in cultivation in the future, he can not give much advice.

That's why, after the foundation is laid, the exercise should be chosen carefully.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is another two years.

In the past two years, except for an occasional trip to the wilderness, delivering supplies to the stronghold, and visiting those frost and cold bees on the way, Zhou Chun basically practiced in the family mountain gate, and Zhou Daoquan returned to the Caiyu Mountain stronghold instead of him.

And although his cultivation could not improve much in just two years, he had cultivated the Golden Armor Rock Turtle to the second-order upper grade.

Mainly half a year ago, a Qi refining monk of the Zhou family was lucky to discover a stalactite spirit cave during his exploration in the wilderness of Yunzhou, in which a pool of "Earth Yuan Spirit Milk" had been condensed.

"Earth Yuan Spiritual Milk" is a spiritual object condensed by absorbing the essence of the earth element from the 10,000-year-old stone stalactite, which has a very good quenching effect and is also an important excipient for refining many pills.

But for Zhou Chun's Golden Armor Rock Turtle, it was the best cultivation to improve his cultivation, and it was even better than the elixir.

If an immortal cultivator uses the "Earth Yuan Spirit Milk" to quench his body, he must first get rid of the turbidity in it, and then mix it with other spiritual medicines to avoid being infected with the poison of petrification.

However, the Golden Armor Rock Turtle can directly take this substance to improve its cultivation.

Therefore, Zhou Chun directly used two thousand points of family good deeds to buy all those "Earth Yuan Spirit Milk" and fed them to the Golden Armor Rock Turtle.

As a result, the Golden Armor Rock Turtle, which was not far from being promoted to a second-order high-grade demon beast, easily broke through to the second-order high-grade demon beast.

As a demon beast known for its defensive power, after mutation, after the Golden Armor Rock Turtle was promoted to a second-order high-grade demon beast, its defensive power was already strong enough to hold on to a few moves under the attack of the early monks of the Purple Mansion.

Even the white "Heavenly Thunder Cut" of the Silver Lightning Thunder Python is difficult to tear its hard turtle shell.

In this way, if he fought with an ordinary Purple Mansion early stage cultivator, Zhou Chun could release it and the Silver Lightning Thunder Python as a helper to put pressure on the enemy.

Now Zhou Chun is waiting for the news that Lin Hongyu is out of the customs, and then he can plot to turn the dragon grass into a thousand years.

On this day, Zhou Chun was meditating at home as usual, and suddenly heard that an envoy from Qinglian Guan came to announce the decree.

The news surprised him and hurried to the mountain gate to greet him.

When he arrived outside the mountain gate, Zhou Chun found that the monk who came to announce the decree was only a monk who built the foundation of the Qinglian Temple.

This made him secretly relieved.

According to the unwritten rules of the immortal cultivation world, the cultivation of a monk who declares the decree of the law is closely related to the level of importance of the decree he declares.

With the current status of the Zhou family, if you really want to mobilize the Zhou family to do something important, then at least one Purple Mansion monk must be brought in.

However, although he was relieved in his heart, Zhou Chun still welcomed the person to the pagoda peak with a straight face, and summoned all the elders to welcome the decree together.

The decrees of the immortal cultivation world are generally issued by the monks of the Jindan period, so naturally they will not engage in any kind of carrying them in the sky, and it is impossible for people to kneel to receive the decrees.

Zhou Chun and the others just stood in a row according to their status, tidied up their appearance, and then the Qinglian Guan monk took out the decree and read it out loud: "The decree of the Lord of the Lord, the Zhou family in Lanzhou has a long heritage, and the people are prosperous. ”

After reading it out, the envoy of Qinglian Guan put a scroll of the decree in his hand, bowed to Zhou Chun and said: "Senior Zhou, the junior is only responsible for announcing the decree, and you have to go to this door to collect the relevant rewards." ”

"Zhou understands that he has worked hard."

Zhou Chun nodded calmly, raised his hand to take the decree from his hands, and then turned his head to Zhou Jiarui and said, "Fourth Elder, you have to take this fellow Daoist to rest, you must be well entertained." ”

After watching Zhou Jiarui lead people to the hospitality place to rest, Zhou Chun looked back at the elders behind him, and found that the expressions on everyone's faces were different, some were worried, and some were implicitly happy.

This made him sigh in his heart, and he was actually clear about the thoughts of these people.

For a long time, few people from the Zhou family have joined the Qinglian Temple.

This is because the top leaders of the Zhou family, including Zhou Chun, are intent on controlling this matter.

After all, the Zhou family has always been short of people before, and when the manpower of his own family is still insufficient, how can he be willing to go to Qinglian Temple.

But now the situation is different.

Now the Zhou family's monk population has exceeded three hundred, although the family can afford to support these people, but there are still very few people who can have the opportunity to build a foundation in the family.

And now Qinglian Guan is willing to give three inner disciple places to the Zhou family, which means that as long as the Zhou family sends people to occupy these three places, the three of them can be rewarded by Zhuji Dan.

This kind of direct reward for the inner disciple quota is also the special preferential treatment of the Qinglian Guan, a major sect, for the immortal cultivation families under his command, and generally only the families who have made great contributions can obtain it.

Therefore, those happy elders naturally thought that some of their juniors could compete for this place.

But Zhou Chun knew in his heart that Qinglianguan suddenly rewarded the Zhou family with these benefits at this time, in addition to the fact that the Zhou family performed extraordinarily in the battle to destroy the Jiang family, it was estimated that he also had some precautions against the Zhou family.

By rewarding the number of disciples, let the Zhou family monks join the Qinglian Temple, firstly, it can indeed inspire other families, secondly, it can also make the Zhou family and the Qinglian Temple more deeply bound, and thirdly, if there is a conflict between the two sides in the future, these Zhou family members who join the sect can also play some special roles.

In fact, for the arrival of this day, Zhou Chun, Zhou Mingde and others have long been mentally prepared.

It's just that at this juncture now, Qinglian Guan suddenly issued such a decree, which is really intriguing.

"Elders go back first, I'll send the decree to Elder Taishang for a look!"

Zhou Chun had all kinds of thoughts in his heart, and his face was also moving, and after waving his hand to let the elders disperse, he went to the cave on the top of the mountain.

In the cave mansion on the top of the mountain, Zhou Chun handed over the decree of the Qinglian Temple to Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi, who rushed over.

After the two of them finished reading it, Zhou Mingde sighed lightly: "This matter is still here!" ”

"Yes, although I knew that there would be this day, I don't want to come now!"

Zhou Daoyi also sighed, very emotional.

After sighing like this, Zhou Mingde looked at Zhou Chun and asked: "Qinglian Guan Fa has been decreed, there is no room for deniability in this matter, Zhengchun, how do you think the family should deal with this matter?" ”

In the past, the Qinglian Temple was only given to the Zhou family to ascend to immortals, or some people verbally implied that the Zhou family could send people to worship the Qinglian Temple.

For these, the Zhou family can still pretend not to know, and seal it without it.

But now it is the Qinglian Temple that directly issues the decree, which is a notice, not a consultation.

The Zhou family didn't want to be accused of ignorance and disobedience, so they could only do it obediently.

Therefore, after listening to Zhou Mingde's inquiry, Zhou Chun immediately replied: "If you want the younger generations to see it, the quota of the three inner disciples is naturally best selected from those late-stage Qi refining cultivators in the family who are expected to impact the foundation, as for the ten outer disciples, let's choose some young clansmen with slightly less qualified qualifications!" ”

"Well, this arrangement is reasonable, but in the old man's opinion, it is better to arrange as many female clansmen as possible."

Zhou Mingde bowed slightly, and also put forward his own opinions.

The female cultivators of the Xiuxian family do not have to marry, and there are many female cultivators who are also dedicated to the Tao and will not marry for the rest of their lives.

But for the Immortal Cultivator Family, with the same spiritual root qualifications, male cultivators are definitely more useful than female cultivators.

Not to mention that male cultivators are more efficient in continuing the family bloodline, that is, male cultivators are generally stronger than female cultivators in terms of fighting and fighting.

Moreover, the female cultivators sent to the sect, firstly, they do not have to worry about spreading their branches outside and establishing a new Zhou family, and secondly, if they form a Taoist couple with the monks in the sect, it is equivalent to bringing one more available person to the family, which can be said to be counted in one fell swoop.

So Zhou Mingde would propose like this, and Zhou Chun is not surprised.

In fact, he also agreed with this, because for those female cultivators, it was better to go to the sect than to be in the family, except for the point of separating from their relatives.

At least when they go to the sect, not only can they get the benefits of the sect, but the family must also have some subsidies in order to maintain their emotional bonds with the family.

At this time, he quickly nodded and agreed: "The junior understands, then arrange for nine female cultivators and four male cultivators to be repaired." ”

"Then let's do it, at that time, Zhengchun will personally take someone to the Qinglian Guan Mountain Gate, and by the way, you will receive the talisman treasure rewarded by the Qinglian Temple, and it will also be counted as one more talisman for you."

Zhou Mingde waved his hand and made the final determination.

By the time Zhou Chun came back from the Cave Mansion on the top of the mountain, the news about the purpose of the Qinglian Guan Dharma had already begun to spread among the Zhou family's Qi refining period cultivators.

Many of the Zhou family's Qi Refining Stage cultivators who originally felt that they didn't have much hope to build a foundation felt that the opportunity had come at this time, as long as they didn't have a task in their bodies, they all came to the Pagoda Peak, wanting Zhou Chun, the patriarch, to see their existence.

They all knew in their hearts that the family would definitely not send those with particularly outstanding qualifications to Qinglian Temple, and they would have sent them a long time ago.

So this is a once-in-a-century opportunity for them, and they all want to compete for this opportunity.

As for the distribution of the three inner disciples, it really made Zhou Chun a little nerve-wracking.

There is no other reason, now there are too many qualified monks in the Zhou family, and he can't just designate three, so it will be difficult to convince the public.

So he could only say in a deep voice to those clansmen who were wandering outside: "What you think, this seat already knows everything, those who are under the age of sixty in the late stage of Qi refining, and want to compete for the three inner disciples, come and sign up, and see how many people there are in this seat first!" ”

As soon as the words came out, within half a day, as many as twenty-three people had signed up, and these were only people in the family mountain gate.

For those family monks who went out on missions or traveled, Zhou Chun did not favor one over the other, and also ordered the Intelligence Hall to contact as much as possible to explain the matter.

In this way, after a month has passed, the final number of applicants has reached forty-two, of which there are eight people who have cultivated at the twelfth level of the Qi Refining Period!

Zhou Chun was not surprised by this situation, but just sighed helplessly in a low voice: "Sure enough, in the face of the temptation of building a foundation, even decades of family education and blood bonds cannot make people choose to stay!" ”

To say that these people who signed up are not loyal to their families, that is not true.

But to say that they are loyal enough to give up their own future for the sake of their family, it is obvious that they are not.

Immortal cultivators are selfish, and bloodline and family affection can only bind them when there is not much hope in sight.

Once given a palpable hope, not many of them can give up the opportunity to move up because of blood affection.

Zhou Chun asked himself, if one day he was trapped in the late stage of the Purple Mansion for a hundred years, he would not be able to see the hope of the Jie Dan for a long time.

Suddenly, a certain sect was suddenly willing to provide him with a set of spiritual objects to assist him, so that he could join it, and he might not necessarily stay for the Zhou family.

After all, the Zhou family would not be able to live without him.

And if he doesn't have that set of auxiliary knot pill spirit objects, he may really have no hope of knotting the pill for the rest of his life!

Now those Zhou family monks who have signed up are nothing more than this idea.

Moreover, in the hearts of many people, even if they join the sect, they can still help the family.

may even be thinking that if he succeeds in building the foundation in the Qinglian Temple, he will become a monk in the foundation building period of the Qinglian Temple, and he will be able to better help the Zhou family.

Under this psychological influence, they will not have any entanglement in signing up.

"Well, in order to convince them all, let's win or lose by fighting!"

Zhou Chun's eyes flickered, and after some hesitation, he still decided to use the most commonly used method in the immortal cultivation world to decide on the candidate.

In addition, the lottery and other methods are easy to make people feel shady and dissatisfied.

Of course, there must be a dark box operation in the fighting method, at least Zhou Chun has decided to fund treasures for several female clansmen who have signed up under the principle of more women than men.

After deciding on the method, Zhou Chun did not procrastinate, and immediately gathered people together and announced his decision.

Two days later, in the ring that the Zhou family often used as a fighting competition, Zhou Chun personally presided over this fighting competition.

"This time, three places will be determined by the fighting method competition, except for the secret technique that damages one's own vitality, the rest of the available means are not restricted, this seat personally presides over the competition, you can rest assured that you can show what you have learned!"

In the ring, Zhou Chun looked at the dozens of registered monks with a calm face and announced the rules, and then let these people go on stage one by one according to the lottery situation.

The patriarch personally presided over it, which really made those Zhou family monks who signed up eliminate their apprehensions, and soon one by one the Zhou family monks took the stage and tried their best to compete for this hard-won opportunity to build a foundation.

Then in the fighting, some Zhou monks were depressed to find that several female compatriots who were not particularly good in the past have become rich women today, and they don't want money to throw away rare talismans, and they are defeated with money offensive.

According to their inquiries afterwards, these family nuns who suddenly became rich women were all guaranteed to marry a disciple of the Qinglian Temple in the foundation building period after they came out of the line, and asked the patriarch to borrow money to buy the talismans.

For this kind of thing, those defeated Zhou family monks, although they also complained in their hearts that the patriarch Zhou Chun was partial, they could only hate that they were not female cultivators and could not marry.

After all, it is much easier for a female cultivator in the foundation building period to marry a male cultivator in the foundation building period than for a male cultivator in the foundation building period to marry a female cultivator in the foundation building period.

In the end, the results of the fighting competition ended with two female cultivators and one male cultivator winning the top three.
