Chapter 266: Passing the Torch
"In the past year, we have successively collected more than 24,600 mortals scattered all over the oasis, all of whom have been settled in the western part of the small city, and we will continue to look for other scattered mortals to migrate them over and live in a centralized manner. ”
"At the same time, the various Lingshan mines have also completed the handover with the monks stationed in Huangshamen, according to your explanation, patriarch, we have given each stationed monk a hundred spirit stones as a hardship fee. ”
"The only exception now is the three small and medium-sized oases, since they are occupied by a few foundation building cultivators, we just passed on the news to them according to your instructions Patriarch, and asked them to come to Chihu Mountain to meet you in three years after discussing it, and now they still have two years to think about it. ”
"In the end, the main monks of the family have all moved to the Chihu Mountain Oasis and have begun to clean up the demon beasts on the oasis. ”
In the "Qianyang Cave", Zhou Yangpan sat on the jade bed, quietly listening to Zhou Guangxiang's report on all aspects of the situation of the Chihu Mountain Oasis.
Because Zhou Xuanhao needed to sit in the Yuquan Lake Oasis to command and deal with various affairs of the family migration, Zhou Yang handed over all the family affairs on the side of the Chihu Mountain Oasis to Zhou Guangxiang to deal with.
This is not only because he doesn't want to waste time and energy on these things, but also because he wants to exercise Zhou Guangxiang's overall management ability and prepare for him to take over the position of patriarch in the future.
That's right, Zhou Yang is already thinking about cultivating a successor.
With the increase in his cultivation, as the various things he needs to be busy with increase, and as the scale of the Zhou family grows larger and larger, he will definitely not be able to spare a lot of time to deal with family affairs in the future.
In this way, of course, he can't do practical things in the name of the patriarch anymore.
Of course, with his cultivation and influence, even if he stepped down as the patriarch and really encountered some major events, he would definitely have to make the decision when he was in the family.
This is also a common management method within the various major forces in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
Like the Xuanyang Immortal Sect, although the Yuan Infant Stage monks usually do not show up and do not interfere in the daily management affairs of the sect, but some major matters involving the inheritance of the sect and the rise and fall of the sect must be discussed by the Yuan Infant Stage monks before they can be decided.
Therefore, after listening to Zhou Guangxiang's report at this time, Zhou Yang's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and he couldn't help nodding slightly and praised: "Not bad, I also saw that small city, Guangxiang, you did a good job this time, and lived up to my expectations of you." ”
Uncle Xie Jiu complimented. ”
Zhou Guangxiang's face was overjoyed, and he accepted Zhou Yang's praise with a smile.
"Next, you have to work hard a little more, according to the style of the small city at the bottom of the mountain, and then here, here, and here, and lead people to create three similar small cities, and then rely on the small city as the center, build a small town that can accommodate 10,000 people every hundred miles on all sides, and a small city must have at least eight affiliated towns, and each town must send a monk who has cultivated above the middle stage of Qi cultivation to garrison it. ”
"These stationed monks can be distributed by their families to provide them with spirit stones for their daily cultivation needs, and they can receive an additional twenty family contribution points every year, and their task is to protect mortals from the attacks of demon beasts. ”
"Our goal is to wipe out all the demon beasts on the Red Tiger Mountain within five years, so that the food produced here can supply the daily consumption needs of 300,000 people within ten years, and triple the number of mortals on the oasis within twenty years!"
Zhou Yang took out a map of the Chihu Mountain Oasis, circled the construction sites one by one, and told Zhou Guangxiang his plans and requirements in a deep voice.
If you look closely, you can find that the points he circled were all close to the location of the third-order spirit mountain, and there were relatively large independent water source areas nearby.
The importance of water to people in the desert is undeniable.
Large oases like the Chihushan Oasis, whose climate is affected by a large number of greenery, are no longer completely desert and arid, and it is rare to see a few drops of rain a year.
Although the annual precipitation on the oasis is not as good as that of Liuyun Continent in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, it has also reached about one foot, which is enough to form small lakes and rivers in many places above the oasis.
Moreover, because it is less than 10,000 miles away from the Broken Cloud Mountains, there are many underground dark rivers formed by the water of the Snow Mountains of the Broken Cloud Mountains, and the groundwater resources are much richer than those of other large oases.
To sum up, Zhou Yang said that it was not impossible to increase the number of mortals on the Chihu Mountain Oasis by more than three times in twenty years.
Zhou Guangxiang was also clear about these situations, so after listening to Zhou Yang's request, he immediately nodded and responded: "No problem, please rest assured Uncle Jiu, my nephew will definitely complete the task you assigned." ”
Seeing this, Zhou Yang couldn't help patting him on the shoulder and encouraged: "Work hard and make some achievements, so that other clansmen can really agree with you and believe in you, and when you are in charge of the family in the future, you can convince the public." ”
"My nephew understands that he will not disappoint you, Uncle Nine. Zhou Guangxiang nodded vigorously, his face full of smiles.
Zhou Yang looked at him with an energetic face, his eyes were slightly in a trance, as if he had seen himself at the beginning.
At the beginning, he was also full of energy in front of the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, and he was determined to lead the family to become strong through his own efforts.
Now that the old patriarch Zhou Minghan has passed away, he has taken the role of this elder and continues to pass on this spirit to the next generation of Zhou family monks.
"This is what the book says about passing on the torch!"
"The inheritance of the torch from generation to generation is all moving towards the same goal, as long as the torch continues, the goal will eventually be achieved one day!"
In the cave, Zhou Yang looked at the back of Zhou Guangxiang leaving, and he couldn't help but show a happy smile on his face.
In the next two years, Zhou Yang has been sitting on Chihu Mountain, silently cultivating mana, while trying to practice the second magical power "Hongguang Golden Escape", and rarely leaves the cave to go out.
"Rainbow Golden Escape" belongs to the magic of retreat, belongs to the advanced variant of "Golden Escape Technique", after this magic power is practiced, only one trick is needed, you can transform the golden rainbow light out of a hundred miles.
However, this kind of escape technique can only allow the immortal cultivator to escape by himself, and cannot lead people to escape like the flying of the sword or the flying of clouds.
Zhou Yang has been practicing this retreat technique for two years, and he is only the first to pass the surface, and he can barely succeed three or four times out of ten spells, which is still a long way from the introduction of real supernatural powers.
And in the past two years, with the help of the three hundred Shatuo beasts that the Chen family had leased for free, the mortals who were going to migrate to the Chihu Mountain Oasis by the Zhou family had finally all migrated over.
Of course, this kind of large-scale, long-distance migration is certainly impossible to guarantee that every mortal will live, on the contrary, there are quite a few mortals who die, accounting for at least one percent of the total number.
Of course, Zhou Yang knew about this situation, but he knew that he knew it, but it was impossible for him to stop migrating because of this.
Although this is a bit cold and unkind, the fact is that for immortal cultivators, mortals are cattle and horses domesticated by herdsmen!
If all the cattle and horses domesticated by a herdsman die, it will be difficult for the herdsman's family to survive without the support of the cattle and horses, but it is acceptable for the herdsman to die some cattle and horses on the way to change the pasture.
Although this analogy is not entirely accurate, it is very similar to the current situation of the Zhou family.
Those mortals who died on the way to the migration were innocent, but if they were not migrated, it would drag down the development of the Zhou family, and it would be them, or their descendants, who would suffer later.
The completion of the migration and resettlement of mortals basically represents the successful completion of the foundation transfer of the Zhou family, and the next plan of the Zhou family is to carry out large-scale development.
Immortal cultivators should develop each spiritual mountain, and develop and build resource points such as spiritual fields, spiritual medicine gardens, spiritual orchards, and spiritual animal gardens, so as to maximize the income generated for the family.
Ordinary mortals should also strive to develop the wasteland, turning the wasteland overgrown with weeds and shrubs into fertile land full of grain and vegetables.
Of course, the main players of this kind of large-scale development are those Qi cultivation period monks, Zifu period monks like Zhou Yang, and even a few foundation building monks, so they don't have to waste time doing such "trivial things".
Their cultivation to the next level, or their progress in some kind of immortal cultivation is more important than cultivating a hundred acres of spiritual land.
What made Zhou Yang happy was that in the past few years, after several attempts, Xiao Ying finally succeeded in refining a furnace of third-order mid-grade spirit pills and was promoted to a third-order mid-grade alchemist.
The success rate of a third-order middle-grade alchemist refining a third-order lower-grade spirit pill has reached more than sixty percent, which means that even if Xiao Ying refines the Zhuji Dan, she has a success rate of more than half.
And in Zhou Yang's hand, he still kept the four fourth-order demon pills that he got from the two Jindan period monk storage rings!
In other words, even if the two Tsukidan stored by the Zhou family were exchanged by the family monks, Zhou Yang would be able to let Xiao Ying refine the Tsukidan to ensure the supply of the Tsukidan.
The meaning of this is self-explanatory.
Of course, in order to maximize the use of the four fourth-order demon pills in his hand, it was not a last resort, and Zhou Yang would definitely not let Xiao Ying refine the Zhuji Pill now.
At least he would not consider this matter until Xiao Ying had raised his alchemy to the third-order upper grade and increased the success rate of refining the third-order lower-grade spirit pill to more than ninety percent.
"Uncle Nine, those scattered cultivators are already waiting outside, do you want to let them in now?"
In "Qianyang Cave", Zhou Guangxiang walked into the cave quickly, and when he saw Zhou Yang sitting on the jade bed, he hurriedly said his intention.
"I see, let them in. ”
Zhou Yang glanced at this nephew and nodded lightly in agreement.
"Then Uncle Nine, wait a minute, my nephew will call them in. ”
Zhou Guangxiang got permission, and hurriedly typed a transmission note to explain the situation to the people waiting outside.
A moment later, four men and one woman, five foundation building monks of different ages, walked into the cave together and came to Zhou Yang.
The five people walked to Zhou Yang and stood three feet away from him, first peeking at Zhou Yang who was sitting cross-legged on the jade bed, and when they found that Zhou Yang's pupils were golden red, and after looking at them, the five of them were shocked in their hearts, and hurriedly lowered their heads, bent down their waists, and bowed to Zhou Yang and said: "Juniors Guo Shaoyang, Ma Xingrui, He Lin, Yu Ping, Wang Hailiang, meet Zhou seniors!"
These five people are the three medium-sized oases around Chihu Mountain that were actually occupied by the Zhou family before they migrated over.
