Chapter XXVIII: The Father's Teachings
The arrival of his father Zhou Xuanhao and mother Lin Yuting finally made Zhou Yang's daily life no longer so boring.
Since he was seven years old, the family has been together less and more apart, and now they can finally live together, and the father and son cherish this wonderful time very much.
Zhou Yang even stopped his daily practice, and every day he either went outside with his mother to help build an oasis, went to the desert to dig in the desert to find the unique food plants of the desert, or listened to his father tell all kinds of strange things he had seen and heard in Fang City, and his life was full and happy.
However, this family is an immortal cultivator after all, and even when they gossip, they can't help but talk about things related to cultivation.
On this day, when Father Zhou and Zhou Yang talked about what they had seen and heard when they were guests of a certain immortal cultivation family, their expressions suddenly moved, and they couldn't help but look at Zhou Yang and asked: "Yang'er, the old patriarch said that the [Haoyang Cave] side will be handed over to you in the future, so what are your plans for the development and utilization of the spiritual veins here?"
When Zhou Yang heard this, he couldn't help but reply with some embarrassment: "Dad, you can ask the child, the child has been busy practicing all these years, but he hasn't thought about this aspect yet." ”
"It's right that cultivation is heavy. Zhou Xuanhao nodded, expressing his approval of Zhou Yang's answer, and then looked at him with encouragement in his eyes and said: "But now that you have reached the bottleneck period, you might as well start planning this matter, it just so happens that your father and your mother are here, you can say what you think, and we can give you details." ”
When Zhou Yang heard this, he knew that his father actually had an idea in his heart, and saying this was just a small test.
To be honest, he still has a little criticism about his father and other elders' practice of testing the juniors before doing anything.
Although these juniors are said to be juniors, they are all in their thirties and forties, and they are about to become grandfathers in the mundane, but they are always treated as children by their elders, and no one can be happy in their hearts.
Even if you pass the test and receive a few words of praise from your elders, what can you do?
Do you still want to be like a child who is praised and happily asks for candy from his elders?
He complained in his heart, but his face made a thoughtful look and lowered his head and pondered, and after a while, Fang Cai looked up and said with a look of embarrassment: "The child is shallow, for this kind of construction thing, I really can't think of any good ideas, father, you are well-informed, and you still need more guidance on this matter." ”
"Haha, it's rare that there are things that you don't understand!"
Zhou Xuanhao laughed loudly, and it seemed that he could make Zhou Yang deflated, which was a very happy thing.
It's no wonder that he is like this, these days, when he chats with Zhou Yang, except when he tells some strange things in the immortal cultivation world, Zhou Yang can't interject, and any other topics related to customs and even the governance system, Zhou Yang can interject and say some unique opinions, and sometimes he even can't answer for a long time as a father.
Zhou Xuanhao didn't know how his son, who had been practicing in the family, knew everything, he only felt that he couldn't stand up to his father's stand in front of this son.
If it weren't for Zhou Yang's face looking so young, and his own son who he grew up watching, or someone told Zhou Xuanhao that this was an old monster of Jindan who had been practicing for hundreds of years, he would definitely not doubt it.
It's just that he can't find someone to talk to about this depression in his heart, so he won't be laughed to death!
Knowing this, it is not difficult to understand why he is so happy now.
At this time, he was in a happy mood, and finally regained his confidence as a father, only to see him laugh, look at Zhou Yang with a smile on his face, and say:
"The spiritual veins of [Haoyang Cave] are hidden deep underground, and they are surrounded by rocks, if you want to open up a spiritual field like Yuquan Peak, you will definitely not be able to!"
"But this is not all a bad thing, the rocks on the spiritual veins are moistened by the aura all the year round, and they are much harder than ordinary rocks, which is suitable for opening up a spirit beast room, which is used to captivate some low-level demon beasts, and when the time comes, it is also a good source of income to kill demons and take meat. ”
"In addition, you can also borrow some storage bags from the old patriarch, dig some more spiritual soil from the spiritual field on Yuquan Peak, and bring it over and spread it in the cave outside, which can be used to grow some third-order and fourth-order elixirs that have a greater demand for spiritual energy. ”
"Finally, the aura attribute of [Haoyang Cave] is biased towards the fire attribute, which means that the earth fire lava layer here is relatively shallow, after you build the foundation, you can gather a sum of spirit stones and go to Jinshafang City to ask the ancestors of the Chen family to come over and help open up a earth fire channel, and when the alchemists and refiners of the family want to refine high-level pills and magic weapons, they don't need to go to Jinshafang City to rent the earth fire room. ”
Zhou Xuanhao has lived for nearly a hundred years, and he has been in the city of immortal cultivators for a long time, and he has also visited other immortal cultivation families on behalf of the Zhou family many times.
The few suggestions he put forward sound simple, but in fact, they were only come up with after he had carefully investigated the situation of the spiritual veins of the "Haoyang Cave" these days, adapted measures to local conditions, and thought hard about them.
Each suggestion is the best choice made after taking into account all aspects of the situation.
Although Zhou Xuanhao didn't say these things, Zhou Yang, who was an office clerk in his previous life, was clear in his heart.
Then he remembered that he had just complained that his father was inconsiderate of the younger generations, and he couldn't help but be ashamed and ashamed, and lowered his head with a face full of shame and bowed deeply to his father and said: "Father is high, the child is ashamed, sitting on Baoshan but not knowing, I am really ashamed of the family, the love of the old patriarch and the elders!"
"Why do I have to do this?"
Zhou Xuanhao looked at Zhou Yang's move in some surprise, and didn't understand why Zhou Yang was suddenly so solemn.
"Well, the father doesn't have to care about the child, the child just feels ashamed in his heart, and he is a little out of shape. ”
Zhou Yang's face was embarrassed, and he hurriedly used his mana to suppress the strange emotions in his heart, and raised his head with a dry smile to find a reason to fool him.
"Well, it's also a good thing to know how to be ashamed, if you have this cultivation achievement at such an age, it will inevitably breed arrogance, and you will look down on other peers and even senior monks, this kind of mentality is very bad!
Zhou Xuanhao nodded lightly, and did not delve into the reason why Zhou Yang was ashamed, but just watched him earnestly teach him the truth of being a man.
"What Father said is that the child actually has this intention, but this matter should be explained to the old patriarch after your matter is completed, father. ”
Hearing Zhou Yang talk about "that incident", Zhou Xuanhao couldn't help but be silent.
Taking [Earth Yuan Spirit Milk] to impact the foundation building period can be described as a life of nine deaths, whether it can succeed or not, it all depends on the will of heaven, it is useless for him to say anything now, there is really no need to say more.
When Zhou Yang saw this, he secretly scolded himself for not opening which pot to mention, and hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Father, since you have given a suggestion to open a spirit beast room, it just so happens that we are idle and have nothing to do now, so it is better to try it now to see if this method is feasible." ”
"It's fine. ”
Zhou Xuanhao's eyes flashed, and he nodded slightly to bypass the heavy topic.
It is very simple to open up the spirit beast room, just directly sacrifice the flying sword to cut the stone wall, Zhou Yang and Zhou Xuanhao have an eighth-layer qi training and a ninth-level qi training, and they both have second-order high-grade flying sword magic weapons in their hands, so don't be too easy to do this kind of rough work.
In less than half a year, the father and son used the hole carved out by the poisoned fire scorpion in the cave outside to open up four circular stone chambers that were more than 200 zhang long, one zhang wide and seven feet high.
These circular stone chambers are covered with thick stone walls on the left and right, and second-order demon beasts are in them, as long as they are not demon beasts that are good at digging holes and escaping like gold-eating rats, it is impossible to escape from the stone chamber.
The Zhou family also serves a first-order middle-grade demon beast "phoenix crown turkey" on Yuquan Peak, which can grow to forty or fifty kilograms at most, and its meat is firm and chewy...... The most important thing is that it is easy to fill the stomach, and it is deeply loved by low-level casual cultivators.
Zhou Yang planned to wait for himself to build a foundation, so he introduced a batch of "phoenix crown turkeys" from Yuquan Peak and raised them in the spirit beast room to see the effect.
And not long after the spirit beast room was built, the [Earth Yuan Spirit Milk] overflowed from the 10,000-year-old stalactite.
The overflowing [Earth Yuan Spirit Milk] is amber in color, exuding an attractive fragrance, and the quantity is not much, only less than one liter.
"It's enough for me to take half of it, and you can take the rest of the [Earth Yuan Spirit Milk] Yang'er, and go back and hand it over to the old patriarch to dispose of. ”
Zhou Xuanhao, as an alchemist, naturally collected the [Diyuan Spirit Milk] by him, and after collecting the overflowing [Diyuan Spiritual Milk] with a jade bottle, he poured half of it into another jade bottle and handed it to Zhou Yang.
Then he stared at his wife and children standing beside him affectionately, and only after a quarter of an hour did he smile and say, "Okay, what should be explained has already been explained, no one is allowed to cry today, wait quietly for my good news!"
"Husband!"
Lin Yuting's beautiful eyes let out a tearful whisper, and her jade hand grabbed the man's hands tightly and refused to let go.
Although she has been persuaded a long time ago and understands the man's choice, at this moment, as a woman, she still can't help crying.
On the other hand, Zhou Yang was extremely calm at this time, he looked at his father Zhou Xuanhao, nodded slightly, and then stretched out his hand to hold his mother Lin Yuting and persuaded softly: "Mother, let's go, what my father needs most now is to meditate, we can't let him rush to the level with concern!"
"Take care of your mother, don't let her do stupid things!"
Zhou Xuanhao's mana surged, gently pushed away his wife's hands, and then turned around, walked into the retreat room without looking back, and lowered the door of the secret room with a "boom".
