"[Earth Yuan Spirit Milk] is a necessary adjuvant for refining the Foundation Building Pill, but it also has a function, that is, after the ninth-level cultivators of the Qi Cultivation Stage who are less than a hundred years old take it, they will restore their body vitality to the state before the age of sixty, and have a precious opportunity to impact the Foundation Building Period!"

The old patriarch Zhou Minghan ignored Zhou Xuanhao's wildly changing face, and said in a low tone what Zhou Xuanhao had deliberately ignored before.

"Old Patriarch, you ......"

Zhou Xuanhao's mouth opened, wanting to say something, but as if there was something unspeakable, he couldn't say it, and his face was very ugly.

Unexpectedly, the old patriarch didn't let him go, but looked at him and shouted in a deep voice: "Xuanhao, the old man knows what you want to say, but the old man told you that since you have embarked on the path of cultivating immortals, you can only move forward without moving forward!"

"If you cultivate immortals, just to live twenty or thirty years longer than mortals, just to have such a weak ability now, then it is better to be an ordinary person and spend a dull life in peace!"

Zhou Xuanhao was shocked, and a strong look of struggle suddenly appeared in his eyes.

At this moment, the old man Zhou Quan also spoke up: "Xuan Hao, you yourself know that your spiritual root qualification is actually no worse than Xuan Yu at all, if it weren't for the lack of alchemists in the family at the beginning, so that you put a lot of cultivation time on alchemy, you wouldn't have been promoted to the ninth level of qi cultivation at the age of sixty-three!"

After the old man Zhou Quan's words were finished, the third elder of the Zhou family, the old man Zhou Dan, also hurriedly said: "Yes, Xuanhao, the old patriarch and the third brother are right, you delayed the opportunity to impact the foundation for the sake of the family, and now you have a chance to do it again, why can't you make up your mind to try it once?

When Zhou Xuanhao heard this, the expression of struggle in his eyes suddenly became stronger, and he looked at Zhou Yang who was a little confused on the side with complicated eyes, and his throat squirmed, as if he had something to say.

"Okay, don't talk about it, it looks like it will take almost ten or eight years for this [Earth Yuan Spirit Milk] to be condensed, Xuanhao, you still have a lot of time to think about it, if you think about it at that time, come and tell the old man, as long as you want, this first copy will definitely be kept for you!"

The old patriarch Zhou Minghan waved his hand to stop the words of several old people with the word "light" who still wanted to persuade again, and also made Zhou Xuanhao's words come to his mouth and suffocate back into his stomach.

He held back what he wanted to say, and nodded heavily: "Xuan Hao understands, the words of the old patriarch and the elders, the younger generations will definitely consider it seriously." ”

Zhou Yang didn't say anything, because he didn't know what dumb riddles the old patriarch and the others were playing before.

But hearing that now, if he still can't figure out what the old patriarch and the others are talking about, then he will have lived in vain for so many years.

"It turns out that the old patriarch wants his father to take the [Earth Yuan Spirit Milk] to impact the foundation building period, no wonder my father, who has always respected his elders, will be so embarrassed this time!"

Zhou Yang wanted to understand this matter, and his heart suddenly became extremely heavy.

Zhou Xuanhao is already eighty and seven this year, and he has lost Yuan Yang again, even if he takes the [Earth Yuan Spirit Milk] to return his body vitality to the state before the age of sixty, the probability of success in foundation building will not exceed five percent!

With such a low probability of building a foundation, it is no wonder that Zhou Xuanhao can't make up his mind.

After all, he is no longer alone, he already has a wife, and a son, these are his concerns.

But on the other hand, as the old man Zhou Dan said, after having a wife and son, he has lived for nearly a hundred years, and at this time there is another opportunity to hit the foundation building period, even if he fails, he will have no regrets in life.

"Father, will he agree? If it were me, what would he choose?"

Zhou Yang secretly glanced at his father, who had a heavy face, and even though he had a thousand words in his heart, he couldn't say a word.

As a son of man, if he persuaded his father to agree, once his father failed to build the foundation and fell, it would be unfilial.

But as an immortal cultivator, if he persuades his father not to agree, it is equivalent to cutting off his father's path with his own hands, which is also a kind of unfilial piety.

At this time, you can only play stupid!

Fortunately, at this time, other Zhou family elders entered the stone room to report the information of the cave exploration to the old patriarch, which helped him relieve this embarrassment.

"Old Patriarch Qiqi, I have explored on the side of the dark river, but I didn't find other demon beasts hidden, and I didn't find any trace of spiritual objects, it seems that it is just an ordinary underground tributary of the dark river. ”

The speaker was Zhou Xuanyan, the eighth-ranked female monk of the Zhou family's "Xuan" generation, who was a relatively rare water-based monk in the boundless sand sea, so after entering the cave, she took the initiative to receive the task of exploring the underground river.

The underground dark river is a strange place, even if it is an arid place deep inland, such as the boundless sand sea, there may be some water-based demon beasts in the underground dark river, these water-based demon beasts live in the underground dark river, there are almost no natural enemies, and sometimes there are often third-order or even fourth-order demons.

Therefore, once an immortal cultivator discovers an underground river, he will carefully investigate the situation before deciding whether or not to establish a settlement nearby.

"This matter can't be careless, the old man remembers that Qian'er repaired a water attribute second-order high-grade formation and put it in the family treasury, and when he turns around, the old man will ask Xuantai to take it and lay it in the dark river, and then Xuanyan, you will give him a hand. ”

The old patriarch Zhou Minghan groaned slightly, and decided that it was better to be cautious.

Although the second-order high-grade formation could not defend against the attacks of third-order and fourth-order demon beasts, it could also serve as a warning, so that the family monks stationed on this side of the stone chamber in the future would have time to react.

However, when he thought of the deceased Zhou Family Elder Zhou Qian, Zhou Minghan's mood became heavy for no reason.

He glanced at the Zhou family monk in the stone room, and with a gesture of his hand, a metal disc with more than a dozen pale yellow flags suddenly appeared in his hand.

"This set of [Shutu Jin Ge Array] is Qian'er's last legacy in the world, although it is only a third-order lower grade, it is very suitable for the attributes of the spiritual veins here, you can go and assist Xuantai to lay down this array now!"

Sighing and telling the origin of the metal disc, Zhou Minghan gently threw it, and the array disc fell into the hands of the old man Zhou Quan on the side.

When everyone listened to the order and left one after another, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly said, "By the way, Xiao Jiu stays." ”

"Xiao Jiu, this spiritual vein was strictly discovered by you, have you figured out how to name it?"

Zhou Yang, who was left by name, was wondering what the old patriarch was going to say by name, but he waited for such a question.

His face was stunned for a moment, and he replied after a while: "Since my great-grandfather asked my grandson this, then my grandson will be bold, what do you think of Haoyang Cave?"

"Haoyang Cave, Haoyang Cave, well, from now on, this place will be called Haoyang Cave!"

The old patriarch muttered two sentences of the name of "Haoyang Cave", and with a wave of his hand, a shining sword light quickly flew out, and carved the three big characters of "Haoyang Cave" on the wall of the stone room.

After doing this, the old patriarch withdrew the flying sword, looked at Zhou Yang with a straight face and asked: "Xiao Jiu, this Haoyang Cave is a natural spiritual vein of the third order, and it is connected by an underground dark river, and it has great potential for development in the future, the old man is thinking that if you build a foundation in the future, you will move here to sit down, what do you think?"

Why do you ask yourself now about what will happen after the foundation is built?

Zhou Yang's face flashed with doubt, and suddenly his heart moved, and he couldn't help blurting out: "What does great-grandfather mean, does he want his grandson to retreat and practice here in the next time?"

"The children can be taught!"

Zhou Minghan looked at Zhou Yang with approval in his eyes and nodded, and then said his plan.

"Haoyang Cave is a third-order natural spiritual vein, and it is adjacent to the Red Flame Iron Vein, in terms of actual value, it is not much inferior to the Yuquan Lake Oasis, before the foundation building period monks guard, the old man will not let the low-level monks of the family come here, so as not to leak the news and be known by outsiders. ”

"When the [Tu Jin Ge Array] is arranged, the old man will take Xuan Hao and them back to the family, and then this place will be handed over to Quan'er, Dan'er, Xuanyan and Xiao Jiu to guard the town, with the four of you late-stage Qi cultivation monks to guard this place, with the power of the formation, even if there is a third-order demon beast attacking, you can resist the old man coming to the rescue, the safety problem, don't worry about it at all!"

"Of course, the most important thing is that the environment here is more suitable for your cultivation than Yuquan Peak, and if you practice here, you will have a greater chance of being promoted to the ninth level of Qi cultivation within more than ten years. ”

Zhou Yang knew the truth, but when he thought that he would be separated again not long after he was reunited with his parents, Zhou Yang was still extremely reluctant in his heart.

In fact, he really wanted to tell the old patriarch to let his father Zhou Xuanhao stay with him.

But he also knew that his father, as the only second-order high-grade alchemist in the family now, could only play his role if he was in charge of the shop in Fang City.

And if his father Zhou Xuanhao made up his mind to attack the foundation building period, in the next ten years and eight years, he would definitely choose an heir among the juniors of the "Yuan" character to teach alchemy, in case of failure, the alchemist of the family would break the inheritance.

"Grandson understood. ”

He endured the discomfort in his heart and answered in a low voice.

"Hey, you've worked hard for your father and son!"

Zhou Minghan let out a long sigh, and couldn't help but reach out and gently pat Zhou Yang's shoulder, signaling that he understood everything.

If he had to choose, Zhou Minghan would not want to do it, but the predicament that the Zhou family is facing now forces him to do so.

If a family wants to grow, there are always people who have to make sacrifices.

As a family monk, you can't enjoy the benefits of the family in vain and not do things, the more benefits you enjoy, the more you will naturally pay more than others.

Zhou Qian was like this back then, Zhou Xuanyu was like this, and now Zhou Xuanhao and Zhou Yang's father and son, how can they be an exception?
