Chapter 42: The Empty Mulberry Sacred Tree

"The charter of this [Foundation Building Conference] has been decided, except for the old man of our Zhou family who will participate in the battle to besiege the fourth-order demon beasts, the rest of us only need to cooperate with the Chen family's Qi cultivation period monks to form a formation to clear out those low-level demon beasts. ”

"Due to the oath, the specific target of this operation cannot be disclosed at present, but it can only be said that if the Chen family's news is correct, the risk of this operation should be smaller than the previous times. ”

"So starting tomorrow, Yun'er, Qi'er, the five Qi cultivation monks who participated in the battle, will go to the White Camel Ridge with the old man to practice the formation with other participating monks, remember, you only have one month to prepare. ”

A few days later, on the third floor of the "Yuquan Building", Zhou Minghan, the old patriarch who had discussed the details of the "Foundation Building Conference" from the Chen family, rushed here and told the high-level officials of the Zhou family present about the discussion.

Zhou Yang knew that once the demon beast reached the fourth order and condensed the demon pill, its wisdom would increase greatly, and he would know how to subdue other demon beasts as his subordinates.

Therefore, around the fourth-order demon beasts in the boundless sand sea, there are often a lot of third-order demon beasts and second-order demon beasts, and the number of third-order demon beasts around some fourth-order demon beasts can even reach more than a dozen.

A fourth-order demon beast was in the home field of his lair, and with the assistance of more than a dozen third-order demon beasts and hundreds or even hundreds of second-order demon beasts, even a late-stage cultivator of the Purple Mansion like the ancestor of the Chen family did not dare to come to the door to pick up the tiger's whiskers.

This is why the ancestor of the Chen family is still willing to take out the Zhuji Dan and sell it to other families even though he can refine the Zhuji Dan, because with the strength of their family alone, even if they kill the fourth-order demon beast to obtain the demon pill, they will lose a lot, and the gains outweigh the losses.

How could a fourth-order demon beast be so easy to kill?

A fourth-order demon beast's crazy counterattack before dying, even a late-stage master of the Purple Mansion like the ancestor of the Chen family could also be injured, not to mention those monks who could not cultivate to the Purple Mansion.

In fact, every time the Chen family organized people to hunt and kill fourth-order demon beasts, there would be a situation where the foundation building period monks would fall, and the worst time, the foundation building period monks who participated in the war fell five at a time, which directly caused several foundation building families to fall and cut off their inheritance.

However, even so, in order to obtain Tsukidan and continue the family's inheritance, a small family like the Zhou family can only join it.

This is the helplessness of the small family!

And at this time, after the old patriarch Zhou Minghan finished finishing his business, he took out a few jade slips and handed them to Zhou Yang and said: "Xiao Jiu, this is the foundation building experience recorded by the old man, your father and other foundation building monks in the family, you take a good look at it these days, and when we come back from the demon eradication, Chen Laozu will immediately open the furnace for alchemy, and when the time comes, you will directly impact the foundation building in the White Camel Ridge." ”

"Great-grandfather, rest assured, your grandson will not disappoint you. Zhou Yang stretched out his hand to take the jade slip and nodded solemnly.

Foundation building is the top priority on the path of cultivation for immortal cultivators in the Qi cultivation period, and anything that can increase the success rate of foundation building is enough to make Qi cultivation ninth-level cultivators who are interested in foundation building go crazy.

For a foundation-building family like the Zhou family, when the younger generations of monks build the foundation, they have the foundation-building experience of their predecessors as a reference, so they can avoid many detours and avoid many risks that could have been avoided.

And like those casual cultivators, if they don't have the foundation-building experience of their predecessors as a reference, they need to rely entirely on luck and understanding to gamble.

Because many casual cultivators do not have the experience of their predecessors to refer to, even if they are lucky enough to succeed in building the foundation, they will leave some dark wounds after the foundation is built, which will affect the future path.

Zhou Yang had no doubt that if he took out the jade slip in his hand and sold it, even if he offered a price of 1,000 spirit stones, there would definitely be a casual cultivator willing to buy it.

However, this kind of behavior, which is equivalent to selling ancestral property, is an unforgivable felony for any family, and no matter how short of money he is, it is impossible for him to do such a thing that makes the whole clan monks poke their backbones.

In the next month, Zhou Yang did not see the old patriarch and several other elders who participated in the war again, until the appointed departure day came, he and his stepmother Zhou Xuanyu went out of Fang City to participate in the send-off.

This send-off, Zhou Yang was also the first time to see a monk in the Purple Mansion Period, although he was watching from a distance of thousands of meters, he could also feel the unfathomable and powerful aura on the ancestor of the Chen family.

At the same time, this was also the first time he had seen a spectacular scene of more than a dozen foundation building monks and hundreds of late-stage Qi cultivation monks gathering together.

Zhou Yang counted them, including the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, a total of seventeen foundation building monks participated in the demon hunting operation this time, of which there were only four foundation building monks of the Chen family, and the remaining thirteen people except for three scattered foundation building monks, all of them were foundation building monks from a small family like the Zhou family.

However, among the one hundred and twenty-four late-stage Qi cultivation monks, the Chen family's Qi cultivation period monks accounted for forty-eight people, including the Qi cultivation period monks of other families, nearly half of them were old monks who were about to die like the two old men of the Zhou family, and it seemed that they also wanted to exert their residual heat in the last afterglow of their lives and contribute to the family again.

After the send-off lasted for about half a day, Zhou Yang saw an extremely shocking scene.

I saw that the ancestor of the Chen family waved his sleeves and released a cyan spirit boat with a glittering blue light, this cyan spirit boat was only a few feet long at first, but after the ancestor of the Chen family injected mana, the spirit boat instantly soared into the wind and turned into a huge building boat with a length of more than ten zhang.

Then this huge building ship released a cloud of blue light under the control of the ancestor of the Chen family and swept down, sweeping a large area of all the Qi cultivation period monks on the ground into the space inside the ship, Zhou Minghan and other foundation building period monks saw this, and they also flew into the building ship with sword light.

As soon as these people boarded the ship, the huge building ship carrying more than a hundred people turned into a cyan spiritual light and quickly flew away from the sky under the shocked eyes of countless send-off monks on the ground.

"It's shocking, isn't it? This giant building ship is a fourth-order middle-grade magic weapon, it is a treasure obtained by Chen Laozu from his trip to the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm, it is said that the main material of the building ship refining has a trace of connection with the legendary seventh-order divine tree [Empty Mulberry Divine Tree], and the space inside is large enough to accommodate hundreds of people at the same time and is not too crowded!"

Before Zhou Yang could recover from the shock of the appearance of the giant building ship, he heard the words of his stepmother Zhou Xuanyu full of envy beside him.

There was a glint in his eyes, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "[Empty Mulberry Divine Tree]? Godmother, are you sure you are not wrong? That is the legendary Divine Tree that can hold up a realm when a tree opens!"

Zhou Xuanyu was not surprised by Zhou Yang's expression, because when she first heard the old patriarch Zhou Minghan talk about this, her demeanor was not much better than Zhou Yang.

He nodded immediately and said: "Of course it's right, it is recorded in the "Treasures of Heaven and Earth" that tens of thousands of years ago, a branch of the [Empty Mulberry Divine Tree] landed from outside the sky and was obtained by a true immortal in the Tribulation Period, and later the True Immortal in the Tribulation Period grafted it onto a sixth-order spiritual tree with the immortal family's divine power [Flower Transfer], and since then the [Empty Mulberry Divine Tree] has taken root in this realm. ”

Zhou Yang remembered the record of the "Empty Mulberry Divine Tree" he had read on the "Treasures of Heaven and Earth", and hurriedly replied: "That's right, I have also read this record, and I also know that the sixth-order spirit tree was later cultivated by the spirit planters to cultivate a lot of branched seedlings, and the first-generation branched seedlings are also said to be sixth-order spirit trees, known as the [Empty Mulberry Tree], which is the best material for refining the teleportation array disk and space formation and magic weapons, and even the sixth-order spirit object [Xuanjing Stone] that also has space attributes cannot be compared." ”

"That's it, since even the [Empty Mulberry Divine Tree] grafted spirit wood can be cultivated into branches, why can't the sixth-order spirit wood [Empty Mulberry Tree] be? The giant building ship in Old Ancestor Chen's hand is said to be refined from the branches of the [Empty Mulberry Tree] branches. Zhou Xuanyuyu pointed to Zhou Yang's forehead and said with a smile.

"I see!"

Zhou Yang suddenly, and a comfortable smile appeared on his face after his curiosity was satisfied.

Seeing this, Zhou Xuanyu touched his head with a doting look and said, "Okay, let's go back too, and then wait for the good news from grandpa." ”
