The success of the Gripenbeast's advancement means that the Zhou family has added another Purple Mansion combat power.

When this big event happened, Zhou Yang naturally didn't care about the preaching ceremony, and even if he waved his hand to let the elder Zhou Guangxiang take over and answer the monks behind, he flew directly to the top of the Red Tiger Mountain.

When he reached the top of the mountain, he saw the griffin beast pecking off the feathers on its wings one by one.

"It's ......"

Zhou Yang was slightly stunned when he saw this scene.

Then as if he remembered something, he suddenly muttered to himself: "Is this going to moult? It seems that this advancement has indeed benefited you as a beast!"

Ordinary birds have to moult every year, but the feathers of demon birds are tempered with mana all year round, and they are extremely hard, and they rarely need to be moulted.

Once the demon birds begin to moult, there is only one reason, that is, their original feathers cannot keep up with the improvement of their strength, so they need to remove the old feathers and replace them with new feathers that match their strength.

The Gripper Beast was promoted from the third order to the fourth order, which was not only as simple as condensing the demon pill from the third order to the fourth order, but also fundamentally broke the shackles of the Gripgermon's bloodline and improved its bloodline level from the bloodline level.

So it now needs to remove the feathers that grew from the previous lower bloodlines and replace them with the feathers that grew from the new higher bloodlines.

"Wait, these feathers are all good refining materials, you give me a good peck, slowly peck them down one by one, and if you break one, I will personally help you pluck out the hair!"

Zhou Yang suddenly screamed, so frightened that the eagle lion beast bird who was pecking at the feathers shook its beak, and pecked directly at the meat wing next to it, pecking out a fist-sized bloody mouth.

This time it hurt a lot, and I couldn't help but turn around and look at Zhou Yang sadly, whimpering and screaming a few times, as if saying that you did a good thing.

When Zhou Yang saw this, he was immediately angry, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Hey, you beast haven't seen you for a few years, but you are good at wisdom, and you know how to sell miserable and sympathize!"

After saying that, he jumped directly onto the Gripen, and really plucked the feathers on the Gripen's wings.

I'm afraid that this job is enough to change to an ordinary Purple Mansion period monk, after all, those feathers are connected to the flesh and blood of the Eaglelion Beast, and the flying sword is not easy to cut off.

However, Zhou Yang's "Canglong Refining Technique" has reached the first level, and his arms have the power of ten thousand jun, and such a trivial matter as plucking hair is not a problem at all.

This time, Zhou Papi directly became Zhou Pao's hair!

When all the feathers on the wings of the Higerlion were plucked off, it was already covered with demon blood, and it looked extremely hideous and terrifying.

However, Zhou Yang knew that this was just a terrible sight, in fact, it was just some flesh wounds, and it would recover quickly.

Sure enough, the eagle lion beast with demon blood flowing on a pair of fleshy wings not only did not show any pain, but after Zhou Yang plucked out the last feathers on its body, it stood up violently and roared, letting out an eagle cry full of joy.

I saw that it had two wings, and on a pair of fleshy wings where the demon blood flowed, it was immediately visible to the naked eye that pale cyan feathers were quickly drilled out, and these feathers grew in the wind, and soon grew to a foot long, and then the growth rate gradually slowed down.

When Zhou Yang saw this scene, his eyes were full of brilliance, and he was also amazed.

He knew that the Gripenmon, which had a mana attribute of wind and fire, did not have such a powerful regenerative ability.

The reason why he was able to grow a body of feathers so quickly now was all because of the Heavenly Dao Rules.

However, even with the blessing of the Heavenly Dao Law, it will take a long time for these newborn Ling Feathers to fully stabilize.

He waited until the feathers on the Gripper Beast stopped growing, and with a wave of his hand, he took out a large piece of hard frozen turtle meat from the storage ring and threw it in front of the Gripper Beast: "This fifth-order demon beast meat is regarded as a reward for your advancement, as long as you protect my Zhou family loyally and dutifully in the future, the benefits will be indispensable to you." ”

The turtle meat is the spiritual meat on the body of the fifth-order demon beast "Genshan Turtle", and Zhou Yang left it in the storage ring, originally wanting to keep it for the future as the ration of the adult golden-winged thunder eagle, but now it is cheaper for this eagle and lion beast first.

And the Gripper Beast had just finished advancing, and it was the time when it needed to eat a lot to grow its body, and at this time, after seeing the meat of the fifth-order demon beast that exuded a rich aura, it didn't care whether the meat was hard or not, astringent or not, when it pounced on it and pecked at the frozen turtle meat on the ground.

For the next three months, the Gripper Beast had to obtain several third-order essence pills from Zhou Yang every two or three days to take them, and after continuing like this for three months, it was only after it had completely stabilized the size and strength of the fourth-order demon beast.

At this time, the eagle lion beast, with its wings spread out and nearly fifteen or six zhang wide, and its front and back bodies were more than eight zhang long, and it really became a behemoth beast.

In the past, this eagle lion beast was used by Zhou Yang as a camel beast to carry people, and at that time, if it was squeezed, it was enough to transport twenty or thirty people at a time.

And now, the carrying capacity of the Gygiger Lion is undoubtedly more powerful, and on the broad lion's back, there are more than fifty people standing down.

It's not just the size that has skyrocketed, it's also the strength.

Thanks to the brute beast heart that Zhou Yang gave him, after advancing to become a fourth-order demon beast, the Hippriff not only awakened several kinds of wind and fire talents, but also mastered the general talent of the brute beast and the barbarian bird clan "Berserk".

In this way, with its excellent wind and fire spell powers, as well as its powerful demon body, although the Gygellion Beast had just advanced successfully, its combat power was not inferior to any of the early Purple Mansion cultivators.

Of course, an outlier like Zhou Yang doesn't count.

Originally, the Eagle Lion Beast was promoted to a fourth-order demon beast, which was worthy of celebration by the Zhou family, after all, this was also a Purple Mansion period combat power.

However, Zhou Yang thought that the big auction that the Zhou family was preparing to hold would be held in less than a year, so he put out this thought and concentrated on preparing for this matter.

The news about this big auction has spread to almost the entire Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm, but all the monks whose news is not completely closed have already heard that there will be an auction of Tsukidan at this big auction.

Therefore, although there is still more than half a year before the official time of the auction, many monks have already embarked on the journey to the Chihu Mountain Oasis in advance.

A large number of monks rushed to the Chihu Mountain Oasis, which was of course a good thing for the Zhou family, because as long as these people came, they would more or less not return empty-handed, and the Zhou family would receive a lot of money just by collecting the "head tax" in Fang City.

It's just that a large number of monks gather, which can easily lead to verbal fights, and it is also easy to provoke the prying eyes of the sand bandits, intercepting and killing those monks who came to the Chihu Mountain Oasis along the way.

Zhou Yang naturally didn't want this kind of thing to happen, so as not to ruin his family's reputation and scare away those monks who came from afar.

Therefore, he gave an order, and the newly formed Zhantang monks of the Zhou family were divided into three teams to take turns patrolling several main roads leading to the Chihu Mountain Oasis to protect the monks from the raids of the sand bandits.

In addition, the patriarchs of the Zhuji family, such as Guo Shaoyang and Ma Xingrui, who were five vassal members of the Zhou family, were also recruited by Zhou Yang for a year, and they were ordered to serve as mobile patrol monks to fight against those hidden sand bandits.

However, just when Zhou Yang was ambitious to make this big auction a once-in-a-millennium event in the boundless sand sea immortal cultivation world, a bad news suddenly came.

After spending two hundred and fourteen spring and autumn periods, the only surviving elder of the Zhou family's "Xuan" generation, Zhou Yang's father, Zhou Xuanhao, sat down!

The normal lifespan of a monk in the foundation building period is two hundred and forty years old, although there are not many foundation building monks who can really live to this age in peace, but most naturally sitting foundation building monks are not a problem to survive to two hundred and thirty years old.

For example, Zhou Minghan, the third-generation patriarch of the Zhou family, although this old patriarch committed suicide, before he committed suicide, Shouyuan was already over two hundred and thirty years old.

It's a pity that Zhou Xuanhao is different, he was in his nineties, and he forcibly built the foundation without taking the Zhuji Dan, and became the first foundation building monk in the Zhou family who did not use the Zhuji Dan to build the foundation.

For him, this is certainly an honor worthy of being recorded in the history of the Zhou family, and it has played a great role in inspiring future generations.

But because of this, he also hurt his vitality when he was building the foundation, and Shou Yuan was supposed to be less than a normal foundation building monk.

Later, in the battle to destroy the demons that swept through the entire Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Immortal Realm, Zhou Xuanhao was unfortunately eroded by the demonic qi of the Demon Cultivator of the Purple Mansion Period, which further damaged the vitality.

These two injuries damaged his vitality, so that he only lived to be two hundred and fourteen years old before he died and sat in the cave on the Red Tiger Mountain.

As the only remaining monk of the Zhou family, and the elder of the Zhou family, Zhou Xuanhao's death, the Zhou family naturally could not be buried hastily.

According to the clan rules of the Zhou family, when an elder dies, unless there is a war, the entire clan master must be wrapped in mourning, and he will also send people to various vassal families and friendly families to report the funeral, and the spirit will be suspended for a month.

The Zhou family is now the first immortal cultivation family in the boundless sand sea immortal cultivation realm, and this rule naturally cannot be missed and cannot be missed.

Therefore, the funeral should not only be done, but also a special event, so that all parties can send people to mourn, so that the influence of the Zhou family can be shown, and the living Zhou clan will be more loyal and loving to the family.

You must know that even in a big family like the Zhou family, most immortal cultivators can't cultivate in the Purple Mansion Period, and those who have cultivated to the Jindan Period, and the Foundation Building Period is almost the apex of their dreams.

In this way, when the cultivation cannot be improved, most monks will turn to the pursuit of fame and fortune, and the Zhou family invites many monks from outside the clan to come to mourn and mourn for most of the elders who have passed away, which is of course useless for the dead.

However, in the eyes of the living, it will make many people have a thought, "If I die in the future, there will be so many mourning for me, then it is worth dying".

Funerals are never for the dead!

As a result, because of Zhou Xuanhao's death, many cultivators of the Immortal Cultivation Family who had to delay their departure for more than half a year had to set off in advance and rushed to the Chihu Mountain Oasis.

If Zhou Xuanhao was just a foundation building elder of the Zhou family, they would at most send a junior in the Qi cultivation period to mourn.

But Zhou Xuanhao also has another identity as the father of Zhou Yang, a monk in the Zifu period, and with this important identity, even Zhang Yunpeng, the head of Huangshamen, personally rushed to the Zhou family in Chihu Mountain to mourn after learning the news.

Zhou Yang didn't pay attention to all this, and let Zhou Guangxiang, the patriarch, and various elders handle all this.

After Zhou Xuanhao died, he complied with his last wishes, cremated his body and buried it with his mother Lin Yuting, and then sat in front of his parents' graves, reflecting on his experience in this life.

A hundred years ago, he personally sent away his mother Lin Yuting, and now he personally sent away his father Zhou Xuanhao.
