Chapter 506: Zhou Mingde's Marriage [Ask for Subscription]
Zhou Jiapeng's sitting represents the end of another generation of the Zhou family.
In view of his achievements for the family during his lifetime, Zhou Chun, the patriarch of the Jindan period, also personally presided over the eulogy for him, and ordered the monks of the whole clan to pay tribute to this old man for three days.
As for Zhou Jiapeng's descendants, Zhou Chun did not take special care of them.
As the patriarch, he still has to be even-handed in this regard, otherwise with the current scale of the Zhou family's foundation building period monks, how can he take care of it in the future.
Moreover, Zhou Jiapeng, as a monk in the late stage of foundation building, participated in many wars before and after, and the wealth he accumulated was not much worse than that of ordinary Purple Mansion period casual cultivators.
The wealth he left behind was enough for his descendants to build a foundation many times.
If he failed to cultivate a foundation building monk in this way, it was enough to show that his descendants were not worthy of cultivation, and Zhou Chun did not need to waste family resources for it.
The only thing Zhou Chun can do for Zhou Jiapeng is to let the family support his golden-winged iron feather eagle, so that he can live a retirement life in the Zhou family with peace of mind!
Of course, the lifespan of this bird is not yet the time to really retire.
Its next task is to leave as much of its own excellent bloodline as possible and give birth to more excellent demon birds and spirit pets for the Zhou family.
It just so happened that the golden feather eagle that Zhou Chun asked the golden-winged tiger to train was a female eagle!
If these two poultry demon beasts can be successfully mated, maybe they can add a new middle-level demon beast population to the Zhou family!
Coincidentally.
Just half a year after Zhou Jiapeng's death, the golden feather eagle finally gave in after years of training by the golden-winged tiger and was willing to sign another contract with the Terran monks.
Zhou Chun asked Zhou Zhengyong to accept it as a spirit pet and mount.
Speaking of which, Zhou Zhengyong is also a little unlucky.
The red-tailed monkey that he was the spirit pet at the beginning had already died of exhaustion because he couldn't break through to the second order.
Later, he contracted a Red Flame Vajra Monkey and a Red-Eyed Vulture.
As a result, these two spirit pets also fell in the war!
This made him suffer a lot, and he simply didn't contract a spirit pet later!
But as a cultivator of the Zhou family's Purple Mansion Period, if he couldn't even take out a second-order demon beast that supported the faΓ§ade, wouldn't it be a joke!
Therefore, Zhou Chun will directly give him the golden feather eagle with the cultivation of a second-order high-grade demon beast at this time, which can be regarded as saving face for him.
Time passed day by day.
On this day, many cultivators in Tuyun Ridge who were cultivating suddenly discovered that the heaven and earth aura that had been gathered by their own exercises suddenly surged towards another place uncontrollably, and no matter how hard they tried, it was difficult to gather them again.
This situation suddenly made many people's faces change slightly, and they hurriedly gathered their strength and walked out of the cultivation room to check the situation, trying to find out the reason for the overflow of spiritual energy.
Then a majestic voice sounded in the ears of all the monks in the entire Tuyun Ridge.
"Zhou Mingde, the Supreme Elder of this clan, is forming a pill, and all the monks immediately stop absorbing spiritual energy and practice, and all leave Huanglong Peak!"
It's the voice of the patriarch!
Many Zhou family monks heard the identity of the owner of that voice, and then consciously and quickly left the vicinity of Huanglong Peak.
Some of the casual cultivators who came to Tuyunling to cultivate also quickly arrived at the edge of the mountain gate exit under the arrangement of the Zhou family monks.
If it was before, maybe these people would have left the family mountain gate directly to avoid any accidents.
But now that Tuyunling has two Jindan period monks in charge, they don't have to worry about this, leaving them to watch the Jiedan celestial phenomena, but they can give Zhou Jiabo a good reputation.
I saw that dark clouds began to cover the sky, and a large amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy poured towards Zhou Mingde's retreat.
"Tut-tut, the Zhou family is really amazing! In the past, the patriarch Zhou Zhengchun returned from the outside of the elder, and now there is an elderly elder Taishang who has attracted the elixir of the pill, this is really lucky, and heaven and earth favor it! β
"Isn't that so? I heard that a few years ago, the monk of the Su family in Jiangzhou was still the double monk of the Zhou family, and if you count it, it is the three of you who have married Dan! β
"In the past, it was said that the patriarch of the Zhou family was a person with great luck, and I only thought that they themselves put gold on their faces, but now it seems that this may be the case!"
"If this Zhou family elder succeeds in forming a pill, then isn't the Zhou family a three-gold pill? Is there any other family in Yasukuni that has three Jindan monks? β
β¦β¦
Even in the gate of Zhoujia Mountain, there are many Zhou monks nearby, and they can't stop those scattered cultivators from talking about Zhou Mingde's marriage.
And at this moment, the attention of all the Zhou family monks fell on the Yellow Dragon Peak, even if some people heard some disrespectful remarks about the family, they didn't have time to pursue anything.
Everyone knows that being able to trigger the knot pill Tianzhao can only be regarded as half of the success of the knot.
Only by waiting for the Heavenly Omen to dissipate by itself, and the aura of heaven and earth to calm down, can it be regarded as a success.
In fact, this level is already advancing and retreating, failure is the end of exploding and dying, there can be no third choice!
Therefore, even Zhou Chun was a little worried at the moment.
[Holy Spirit Blood Pill] can restore the old man's qi and blood to its peak, after all, this is only the record above the Danfang, whether it is really such a miracle, Zhou Chun does not dare to guarantee.
If the effect is not as good as the Danfang recorded above, then this level is very dangerous for Zhou Mingde!
Fortunately, what Zhou Chun was worried about did not happen.
After a short period of time, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, and the abnormal restlessness of the aura of heaven and earth gradually subsided.
All this shows that Zhou Mingde has successfully weathered the difficulties, and the knot has succeeded!
However, Zhou Chun knew that with Zhou Mingde's cultivation method, even if the knot was successful, the time required to stabilize the foundation and cultivate would be much longer than that of Su Yuzhen, so don't expect him to go out and meet people in a short period of time.
Therefore, after the result was confirmed, he quickly spoke again: "Huanglongfeng is temporarily classified as a forbidden place for the family, and it is not allowed to be summoned, and it is strictly forbidden for the clansmen to enter it, and all the caves rented out to the outside world in Tuyunling are suspended!" β
This order is naturally to allow Zhou Mingde to cultivate quietly and consolidate his cultivation.
And after giving this order, Zhou Chun quickly went to visit Lin Hongyu.
The reason for this visit was very simple, to ask Lin Hongyu to leave Tuyunling in the name of traveling and go to the wilderness to collect jade mountains to practice.
Tuyunling is such a small place, and it can't squeeze in three Jindan stage monks.
Even the two Jindan monks seemed crowded!
It's also because Zhou Chun didn't transfer to the cultivation method, so he basically didn't meditate and cultivate much, otherwise he wouldn't have let Zhou Mingde marry here!
Lin Hongyu understood this very well, but she didn't mean to go to Caiyu Mountain to practice, but wanted to really go out and travel for a while.
Speaking of which, since she successfully married the Dan, except for collecting materials for refining the natal magic weapon and going out for a period of time, the rest of the time has been spent in the wilderness and the Zhou family, as well as fighting on the front line.
As a monk who has been in the knot for more than a hundred years, she has not really traveled a single time.
Now that the situation is stable, the Zhou family has successively appeared Zhou Chun and Zhou Mingde, two Jindan monks, and there is no longer any need for her to sit in the mountain gate to protect the Zhou family.
Naturally, she wanted to go out and have a good time.
Not only her, but even Zhou Daoyi, who had broken through to the late stage of the Purple Mansion, also had this thought.
Zhou Chun is not an unreasonable person, after learning of this situation, he agreed to the fact that the couple went out to travel.
It's just that I also made an agreement with Lin Hongyu that it is best not to travel for more than ten years.
Because by then, the results of the Qingchen Dao people on the Qinglian Temple should have appeared, and the situation in Yasukuni may have some changes as a result, and Lin Hongyu must come back to face it together.
In this regard, Lin Hongyu and Zhou Daoyi naturally agreed.
So after some arrangement, Lin Hongyu and his wife rode the frog and left Tuyunling under Zhou Chun's eyes.
After sending Lin Hongyu and his wife away like this, Zhou Chun returned to his cave to recuperate quietly.
In the following period, all kinds of congratulatory letters poured towards the Zhou family like snowflakes.
Just like what a certain loose cultivator said that day, one door has three golden pills, and this kind of situation is the first case in Yasukuni!
The general medium-sized sect forces, such as the previous Three Peerless Sects, only had such a few Jindan stage monks.
And more importantly, when people carefully check it, they can find that the three Jindan monks of the Zhou family have all succeeded in conforming to the Dan in more than a hundred years.
Among them, the success time of Zhou Chun and Zhou Mingde's knot is less than 20 years apart!
This is truly staggering!
You must know that even if it is a major sect like the Moon Wheel Sect, it is very rare in history that there are two Jindan stage monks in succession within twenty years.
It would be very good to be able to produce one in 50 years!
So this inevitably made many monks mutter in their hearts, thinking that the Zhou family had obtained some anti-heaven spiritual objects, which could greatly improve the success rate of the elbow.
Such rumors were also deliberately spread, I don't know if I want to test something, or if I just want to hate the Zhou family.
But these rumor-mongering monks may be disappointed.
Because the high-level leaders of the Moon Wheel Sect and other big forces knew that Zhou Chun had obtained a lot of knot pill spirit objects in the previous war.
Therefore, the Zhou family was able to emerge two Jindan period monks one after another, although they were also very surprised, and sighed at the good luck of the two Zhou families, but they would not really think that the Zhou family had obtained any anti-heaven spiritual objects that could help people succeed in forming pills.
Let's not talk about whether there are such anti-heaven spiritual things in the immortal cultivation world, even if there are really them, it is unlikely that they will be obtained by Zhou Chun before the knot.
Of course, this premise is that the Zhou family will not have any success in the next period of time.
Otherwise, even a strong person like Moon Worship Zhenren would probably wonder if the Zhou family had obtained a spiritual object such as the [Five Elements Spirit Fruit] tree.
In fact, after learning that Zhou Mingde succeeded in marrying the Dan at the age of more than four hundred and fifty, the moon worshippers had already sent a letter to inquire about the details.
And Zhou Chun also knew that this matter would arouse curiosity, so he was also very generous to offer the [Holy Spirit Blood Pill] pill to the real person worshipping the moon, so as to explain the reason why Zhou Mingde was able to form a golden pill at such an advanced age, and show his loyalty by the way.
As for whether the Moon Wheel Sect can find another strange insect like the "Holy Spirit Blood Leech" and also refine the [Holy Spirit Blood Pill] to cultivate Jindan stage monks, it is none of his business.
Anyway, the Zhou family and the Moon Wheel Sect are not competitors, and there are a few more Jindan monks in the Moon Wheel Sect, and they have little to do with the Zhou family.
Zhou Chun even hoped that the Moon Wheel Sect would be able to successfully refine this elixir.
In that case, those Jindan stage monks who relied on the [Holy Spirit Blood Pill] to successfully marry the Dan would definitely have a good impression of the Zhou family who offered the Dan Fang.
In short, with the current strength of the Zhou family, as long as they don't attract the suspicion and suspicion of the Yuelun Sect and other major sects, a few rumors will not affect them at all.
Zhou Chun didn't bother to pay attention to those rumors, and only let Zhou Xinyi start to prepare for the second Jindan ceremony, and it could be held after Zhou Mingde came out of the customs.
In a short period of time, there were two successive Jindan ceremonies, which was actually a bit difficult for the families and monks who were invited, because they had to give a lot of gifts.
But it is impossible not to hold the Jindan ceremony.
Therefore, Zhou Chun planned to wait for Zhou Mingde to come out of the customs and discuss with him, so that those families and monks who came to attend the Jindan ceremony did not have to give generous gifts, and only needed to prepare a thin gift to come to participate, so as to support the scene and atmosphere.
He believed that with Zhou Mingde's open-mindedness, he should not oppose his proposal.
For the other monks of the Zhou family, the success of Zhou Mingde's knot was even more motivating and boosting confidence.
After all, Zhou Chun and Lin Hongyu were both successful in marrying outside, and none of the Zhou family monks had witnessed and experienced it at that time, so they lacked a sense of participation.
In addition, Zhou Chun's personal experience is really legendary, and there is no possibility of imitation and copying, although many people in the Zhou family regard him as an idol and are full of admiration and admiration for him, they dare not think that they can become the second him.
But Zhou Mingde is different.
He succeeded in marrying Dan in the gate of Zhoujia Mountain, and the Dan Tianzhao was witnessed by many Zhou family monks, and many Zhou family monks witnessed the process of his successful knot.
The sense of participation is very satisfying and impressive.
Again, Zhou Mingde has never been a genius.
He only succeeded in opening up the Purple Mansion when he was more than 200 years old, and his cultivation was not a top-level exercise, so it could be said that he was a real ordinary monk's template, but his luck was better than that of ordinary monks.
But he was able to succeed at the age of more than 450 years old!
This has a great motivating effect on the vast majority of Zhou family monks.
Because many of them are not worse than Zhou Mingde in terms of conditions, or even much better than Zhou Mingde!
In this case, since Zhou Mingde can succeed in marrying Dan, why can't they?
As soon as this idea was born, it lingered in the minds of many Zhou family monks, planting a seed of ambition in their hearts.
Driven by this seed of ambition, many of them worked harder in their cultivation, and they also worked harder to earn cultivation resources for themselves.
An atmosphere of involution unconsciously bred within the Zhou family.
When Zhou Chun learned of this situation, he felt very relieved in his heart.
As a person who has come over, he knows how much positive this involution atmosphere has for the family.
In fact, the most feared thing of a big family is that the clansmen begin to be content with pleasure and do not want to make progress.
A family that does not want to make progress, no matter how brilliant it was in the past, will definitely be eliminated with the passage of time.
Therefore, in order to keep the self-motivation of these clansmen, Zhou Chun also specially set up a "breakthrough award".
According to the different spiritual root qualifications and the exercises practiced, if you can break through to a certain realm before a certain age, you will be able to obtain a lot of good deeds rewarded by the family.
The idea came from the scholarship system of his previous life, and it was modified to be more suitable for his own world.
They all serve a similar role, which is to help some monks who are not well-born but work hard enough to go further!
But at this moment, Zhou Xinyi gave him bad news.
That is, the Zhou family's finances are tight again!
"Nowadays, the markets of the surrounding countries are shrinking, consumption is greatly reduced, and the business of our Zhou family's stores is generally not doing well, and the income is not as good as before."
"However, the number of monks on the family's side is still growing rapidly, and the cost of good deeds distributed to the clan is increasing year by year, and the gap between income and expenditure is increasing day by day."
"Moreover, the family rushed to buy strategic materials and emptied most of the inventory of spiritual objects, and the holding of the Jindan ceremony also consumed a large amount of spirit coins, and now the number of spirit coins left in the account is less than 200,000!"
"If you can't find a way to increase the family's income, at most in another five years, there will be a loss in the family's account!"
In Zhou Chun's cave mansion, Zhou Xinyi came here with an account book, and reported the family's financial situation to Zhou Chun with a serious expression.
He is now replacing Zhou Chun's housekeeper, and he usually doesn't come to report on things that are not particularly important.
Because Zhou Chun would personally go to Zhongping Hall every once in a while to inquire about and deal with clan affairs.
However, the financial affairs are very important, and after discovering the tight financial situation in the new round of statistics, Zhou Xinyi did not dare to delay at all, and immediately came to see Zhou Chun in person with the sorted account books.
At this time, after listening to his narration, Zhou Chun said very calmly and calmly: "Don't worry, let me see the account books first." β
After speaking, he raised his hand and waved all the account books, and his powerful divine sense read multiple account books at the same time.
The account books of the Zhou family will be recorded in great detail, and where every money is spent will be recorded clearly, and every one must be correct when checking the accounts.
Zhou Chun would often check the account books to make sure that no one dared to directly covet the family property in this regard.
As for some profit-making behaviors carried out by using personal authority, Zhou Chun also knows that it is impossible to completely eradicate it, as long as he does not go too far, too conspicuous, and let him know, he can only be out of sight.
At this time, after flipping through the account books one by one, Zhou Chun closed his eyes and digested the many numerical data he had just seen in his mind, and with the strong mental arithmetic ability of the Jindan period monk, it didn't take long to correct every account.
The result of the reconciliation is, of course, exactly the same!
If he can make mistakes in this regard, Zhou Xinyi is not qualified to manage the family on his behalf.
I saw his eyes open, and suddenly looked at Zhou Xinyi and said: "This seat has taken a look, and there are still more than 270,000 catties of [Water Essence Jade] raw ore in the family account, more than 60,000 catties of red blood jade raw ore, more than 70,000 catties of ink pattern jade raw ore, more than 120,000 catties of flawless white jade raw ore, more than 160,000 catties of black corundum raw ore, more than 50,000 catties of amethyst jade raw ore, and more than 570,000 catties of Xuantie raw ore!" β
"If these ores were sold at the market price before the war, how many spirit coins would they be worth?"
The ores that Zhou Chun said were all obtained by the Zhou family from mining in the wilderness over the years.
Because it was not affected by the war, even when the battle between the Yuan Demon Legion and the Heavenly Spirit Legion was at its most intense, the Zhou family's mines in the wilderness still did not stop mining.
However, due to the impact of the war, these mined ores could no longer be sold, and could only be stored in the warehouse.
Although the Zhou family itself can also process and consume some ores, these consumption are undoubtedly not worth mentioning compared to the huge amount mined.
So after decades of accumulation, there is now so much inventory.
At this time, after listening to Zhou Chun's words, Zhou Xinyi also hurriedly estimated the value of the ores he said in his heart.
After such an estimate, he replied softly: "The junior has estimated that if it is calculated according to the market price before the war, taking into account the price fluctuations caused by the bulk trade, these ores are worth about 280,000 spirit coins!" β
"Then count it as 280,000 spirit coins!"
Zhou Chun nodded, and then said, "This seat bought all the ore at this price, but the ore is still temporarily stored in the family treasury. β
"This ......"
Zhou Xinyi looked at Zhou Chun with a surprised expression, he didn't expect him to say this.
"What? Do you think it's inappropriate? β
Zhou Chun glanced at him and asked lightly.
"No, the juniors don't dare, the patriarch is high-spirited, and the juniors admire it from the bottom of their hearts!"
Zhou Xinyi shook his head again and again, and then looked at Zhou Chun with reverence to show his respect.
How could he not know that this was Zhou Chun's intention to transfuse blood for the family to help the family tide over the difficulties.
This behavior of subsidizing the family out of his own pocket fully shows how deep Zhou Chun's feelings for the family are.
If you don't love your family deeply, you will never be able to do such a thing!
But seeing Zhou Chun, he waved his hand and said: "This seat pays out of his own pocket to supplement the family's finances, and he can only save the emergency, and if he really wants to relieve the family's financial crisis, he has to solve it fundamentally." β
"Go back, you can inform all the monks in the family who have built the foundation and cultivated the above level, so that they can go back to the family if they are free, and everyone will work together to discuss how to make money."
"In addition, some of the family's rules may also be a little outdated, and they should be followed up and modified in time to adapt to the changes in the family today!"
Speaking of this, Zhou Chun shook his head slightly and said, "Forget it, first tell those people what you want to discuss, so that they also have time to think carefully, as for the time of discussion, let's wait for Elder Taishang to come out of the customs before deciding!" β
"Yes, the juniors obey."
Zhou Xinyi responded respectfully and retreated first.
Time passed, and soon Su Yuzhen's success in marrying the Dan passed three years.
After three years of cultivation, she has stabilized her cultivation realm and took the initiative to get out of the customs.
And with her exit, the Jindan ceremony held for her by the Su family was also held soon.
