Chapter 36: Taking over the store

After saying goodbye to Zhou Ping and Zhou Yu, Zhou Yang went to the second floor to visit the twelfth aunt Qian Hongyu, and then went up to the third floor to visit Zhou Xuanlin, the seventh uncle in charge of the "Yuquan Building".

Zhou Xuanlin was close to ninety years old before he practiced to the ninth level of Qi practice, and his appearance looked quite old, when Zhou Yang saw him, he was sitting leisurely on the third floor sipping tea, listening to the music, like an old rich man among the worldly mortals.

The song was not sung by the singers, but by a first-order instrument called "phonograph beads".

"Hey, Xiao Jiu, you don't practice in the family, why did you come to Fang City?"

Zhou Xuanlin, who didn't pay much attention to the sound of footsteps going upstairs, changed his face slightly when he saw that it was Zhou Yang, and he put down the teacup and stood up from his seat in some surprise.

He also participated in the battle against the "Haoyang Cave" at the beginning, so he naturally knew that Zhou Yang had been in retreat and penance there all these years, and now when he saw Zhou Yang not coming here, he couldn't help but have a variety of speculations in his heart for a while.

"Nephew Zhou Yang, I have seen Uncle Seven. ”

Zhou Yang first respectfully made a junior salute, and then smiled lightly: "So that the seventh uncle knows that my father has successfully built the foundation, and now the family is preparing to hold a foundation building ceremony, so that the old patriarch will let the little nephew come to Fang City to replace the seventh uncle and you to sit in Yuquan Tower, so that the seventh uncle, you and the fourth brother, the fifth brother and their clansmen can return to the family to participate in this celebration together." ”

"What? Your father has succeeded!"

Zhou Xuanlin was shocked, stunned by the news brought by Zhou Yang.

Zhou Xuanhao returned to the family to prepare to build the foundation, of course he knew, but he was not optimistic that Zhou Xuanhao would succeed in building the foundation this time, when he saw Zhou Yang just now, he also guessed whether Zhou Xuanhao failed to build the foundation and fell, and the family sent Zhou Yang to inform him to return to the family to mourn!

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect the big brother to really succeed!"

He muttered to himself in disbelief, with an indescribably complicated look on his face.

Before this, almost all the monks of the Zhou family thought that the next monk of the Zhou family in the foundation building period would be Zhou Yang, but no one expected that Zhou Xuanhao, who was nearly 100 years old and almost hopeless in building the foundation, would suddenly rush to build the foundation in front of his son.

A few percent of the success rate of foundation building can make him successful, which is too lucky!

"Could it be that the [Earth Yuan Spirit Milk] can not only restore the physical vitality of the monks in the Qi cultivation period, but also have the effect of improving the success rate of foundation building?"

Zhou Xuanlin didn't believe in luck very much in his heart, he only cultivated to the ninth level of qi cultivation at the age of nearly ninety, and his cultivation was all obtained by his own hard cultivation day by day, year after year.

Rather than saying that Zhou Xuanhao's success in building the foundation was luck, he preferred to believe that it was the effect of the third-order spiritual object [Earth Yuan Spirit Milk] that was unexpected, and it had a bonus effect on the foundation building.

If that's the case, he's only in his nineties this year, can he also apply to his family to take the remaining [Earth Yuan Spirit Milk] to impact the foundation?

However, as soon as he came up with this idea, he immediately rejected it with a wry smile.

Even if the [Earth Yuan Spirit Milk] really has a bonus effect on the foundation?

Zhou Xuanhao dared to take a risk because he was a middle-grade spiritual root qualification, and a successor gave birth to a genius son, even if he lost, he would die without regrets.

But what about him Zhou Xuanlin?

He has a low-grade spiritual root qualification, even if he takes "Zhuji Dan", he only has a success rate of 30% in building a foundation, what will he fight for?

Zhou Xuanhao loses the fight, and he doesn't have to worry about the future life of his wife and children, if he loses, what will his sons and grandsons who have no spiritual root qualifications do in the future?

"Everything is fate!"

Zhou Xuanlin's heart was full of bitterness and let out a long sigh.

Among the secular mortals, there are those who end up in yellow robes as beggars, and there are also people in the immortal cultivation world who have the following spiritual root qualifications and eventually become great cultivators in the Yuan Infant Stage.

It's a pity that such people are a very small number of people after all, nine out of nine mortals and immortal cultivators, and their fate is actually doomed at the moment of birth.

Mortals born in wealthy families, who have enjoyed fine clothes and jade food all their lives, and immortal cultivators who have high-grade spiritual roots can basically succeed in building a foundation without accident.

And an ordinary mortal who was born in a civilian family, an ordinary immortal cultivator who only has the qualifications of a lower-grade spiritual root, if there is no accident, he will be an ordinary civilian, an ordinary immortal cultivator in the Qi cultivation period for the rest of his life!

Zhou Xuanlin has lived for more than 90 years, and he has already seen through this, so after he worked hard to cultivate to the ninth level of Qi cultivation, he basically gave up his fantasy of building a foundation, and just wanted to enjoy the fun of life that he didn't dare to enjoy before in the few twenty or thirty years of life he had left, and he didn't come to the world in vain.

Now that he recognized the reality and saw Zhou Yang looking at him with a strange face, he remembered that his words under surprise just now seemed to be a little inappropriate, and he couldn't help but shout: "Ah, the old man lost his words just now, Xiao Jiu, don't misunderstand, the eldest brother has successfully built the foundation, the old man is sincerely happy for him in his heart, and he is happy that the family has one more monk in the foundation building period, there is absolutely no idea of slandering the eldest brother, the old man dares to swear!"

He was also in a hurry, and even the words of his oath came out.

It is no wonder that Zhou Xuanhao successfully built the foundation and became the second existing foundation building monk in the family, and his identity is very different from before.

As the elder of the family, as the younger brother of Zhou Xuanhao, if there is news of jealousy and slander of the family's foundation building monk at this time, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan is afraid that he will be so angry that he will directly remove him from the position of elder, and the other monks of the same generation will probably cut off contact with him, which will make him even more uncomfortable than killing him.

When Zhou Yang saw this scene, the unhappiness in his heart quickly dissipated, his face was relieved, and he said with a smile on his face: "Seventh uncle, don't be excited, you are loyal to the family, the old patriarch and my father both know it, our Zhou family monks have always been united, of course I believe that you will not slander my father, you can relax!"

"Whew, Xiao Jiu, it's good if you understand, just understand. ”

Zhou Xuanlin looked at Zhou Yang carefully, and after seeing that the smile on his face did not seem to be fake, he let go of his worries with a sigh of relief.

Next, Zhou Yang and Zhou Xuanlin had a long talk for most of the day, mainly because Zhou Xuanlin introduced to him the operation of "Yuquan Building", as well as the connections of the Zhou family in Fang City, and how to quickly contact the family when encountering emergencies.

Basically, the shopkeeper of "Yuquan Building" is the spokesperson of the Zhou family in "Jinshafang City", and is responsible for handling all the family affairs of the Zhou family in Fang City.

Before Zhou Yang, the shopkeeper of "Yuquan Building" had to be at least an elder of the Zhou family to be qualified.

Before Zhou Xuanlin became the elder of the Zhou family, he had been in the "Yuquan Building" for more than ten years, but the person in charge here has always been Zhou Xuanhao, the elder of the Zhou family.

and the seventh uncle Zhou Xuanlin completed the handover of the "Yuquan Building", and Zhou Yang went to the "Drunken Immortal Building" next.

"Drunken Immortal Building" was previously in charge of his mother Lin Yuting, after his mother accompanied his father back to the family, Luo Meiwei, the wife of the seventh uncle Zhou Xuanlin, took over as the shopkeeper, and there were also three female monks of the Zhou family, Zhou Yuanchun, Zhou Yuanxia, and Zhou Yuanzhen, who served as maids and cooks.

Among them, Zhou Yuanchun ranked sixth among his peers, and was the only monk with spiritual roots among the three children born to Zhou Yang's stepmother, Zhou Xuanyu, and was also the apprentice of his mother Lin Yuting, inheriting his mother's unique winemaker profession.

Zhou Yuanxia and Zhou Yuanzhen are ranked seventh and twelfth among their peers, the two female ancestors have been secular mortals of the Zhou family for several generations, and the spiritual root qualifications are the same as Zhou Yuanchun's.

Zhou Yangsheng is handsome, and he is from an extraordinary background, and his cultivation is far beyond his peers, when he appeared in the "Drunken Immortal Building", Zhou Yuanchun and the other three female monks of the Zhou family were all beautiful.

My sister loves to be pretty, even if she is an immortal cultivator, she is not exempt from vulgarity.

Zhou Yang is not only handsome, but also a second-order high-grade refiner, which can be described as young and golden, and is simply the most ideal candidate for a female immortal cultivator, and Zhou Yuanchun and them are naturally among them.

"Hey, hey, Xiao Jiu, do you think I should continue to call you Ninth Brother, or call you Brother Yang?"

Zhou Yuanchun is the eldest of the three female immortal cultivators, her mother is Zhou Yang's stepmother, and the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, the great-grandfather of the family, is behind her back, but among the monks of the Zhou family's "Yuan" generation, there are very few people who don't care much about the change in Zhou Yang's identity.

"Sister Yuanchun, don't make fun of the little brother, the little brother still likes the sister to be called the little brother Xiao Jiu. ”

Zhou Yang smiled awkwardly on his face, quite speechless for the sixth sister's joke.

The title of "Brother Yang" is so weird, he doesn't want to be called that!

After speaking, he smiled at Zhou Yuanxia and Zhou Yuanzhen, who were looking at him on the side, and said: "Seventh sister is good, there are twelve sisters, I haven't seen you for many years, several sisters are becoming more and more beautiful, I have long heard my mother say that now the suitors of several sisters in Fang City have been lined up from the drunken fairy building to the Yuquan Building, the younger brother didn't believe it before, but now I see a few fairy sisters with my own eyes, and I know that what my mother said is not true at all." ”

The woman is the one who pleases herself, and when the three daughters of the Zhou family heard Zhou Yang say this, they suddenly smiled with a smile.

Zhou Yuanzhen's age is the closest to Zhou Yang, and he is the youngest present, and he is also a little coquettish at this time: "Brother Jiu, you are talking nonsense, the eldest aunt will not say that, how can anyone have any suitors, those people are here to chase Sister Yuanchun and Sister Yuanxia, but it is none of their business." ”

When the two of them said this, Zhou Yuanxia, who was originally a little shy and restrained, also let go of her heart, and couldn't help but interject and quipped: "Okay, you twelve sisters, your ability to talk nonsense with your eyes open has been getting better and better recently, you say it's none of your business, so what's the matter with the uncle of the Liu family? Why does he come to the Zuixian Mansion several times a month, and you accompany him every time?"

"Hmph, Seventh Sister, you are embarrassed to say that people, this is to accompany the guests to drink and chat, so that the guests can feel the warmth of home in the Drunken Immortal Building, isn't it all you who taught others?

Zhou Yuanzhen snorted in embarrassment, a little angry at Zhou Yuanxia's jokes.

However, as soon as her words fell, Zhou Yuanchun on the side smiled narrowly, looked at someone with an embarrassed face with a smile on his face and laughed: "Hahaha, you are wrong to be a weirdo, as far as my sister knows, these words you said, including the water sleeve skirt you are wearing now, are all the credit of the ninth brother, and even the spirit stones we paid were thanks to the advice of the ninth brother, so that the family made an exception to agree!"

Zhou Yang's face was embarrassed and he felt a little embarrassed, and he didn't dare to look at the two sisters Zhou Yuanxia and Zhou Yuanzhen who were full of surprise and shame.

When he heard his mother Lin Yuting complain that the restaurant business was not very good, he thought of this crooked trick after asking about the situation, and Lin Yuting, out of trust in his precious son, let Zhou Yuanchun try it at that time, and found that the effect was really good.

So later, all the clansmen of the Zhou family's "Zuixianlou" were replaced by women, and Zhou Yuanzhen, who was young, beautiful and pure-looking, was transferred here as soon as he turned 20 years old, and soon became the "gold medal waiter" of the restaurant.
