Red Fox Ridge, Purple Cloud Cave.

When Zhou Yang broke through the barrier and walked out of the Purple Cloud Cave, he was already a monk in the late stage of foundation building.

At this time, nine years had passed since he had practiced in retreat, and sixteen years had passed since he was last promoted to the sixth level of foundation building!

It took sixteen years to advance from the sixth floor of the foundation to the seventh layer of the foundation, which was something he himself had not thought of beforehand.

The main thing is that after his cultivation reached the sixth layer of foundation building, the third-order low-grade spirit pills such as "Yangyuan Dan" and "Golden Marrow Pill" no longer had any effect on him.

In addition, he took too many of these pills, although he could use "Qianyang Xianguang" to get rid of erysipelas, but his body's drug resistance could not be removed.

Therefore, during the nine years of this retreat, he basically relied entirely on his own penance, and little by little he raised his mana to the peak of the sixth layer of foundation building, and then with the help of the third-order high-grade spirit pill "Xuanqing Dan", he successfully broke through the realm and broke through to the late stage of foundation building.

This kind of relying on one's own penance to increase mana, although it has taken a lot of time, but the foundation is extremely solid, and it is not completely unacceptable for Zhou Yang, who has only gone through one-third of his life.

At this time, he walked out of the Purple Cloud Cave, and his powerful divine sense swept through the entire Red Fox Ridge, and he quickly knew the changes that had taken place on the mountain in the past nine years.

I saw that at this time on the Red Fox Ridge, the original crazy weeds and weeds have been cleared up most of them, from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, a piece of spiritual field has been opened up neatly, planted with a "golden bead rice" tree, at least hundreds of acres under the rough look.

In a small valley on the mountainside, more than a dozen spirit trees were transplanted here by the spirit planters, each occupying a piece of land and growing alone, without competing with other plants and trees for sunshine and rain.

At the same time, close to the mountaintop area where the Ziyun Cave is located, more than a dozen medicine fields have been sparsely cultivated in the east and west, and seedlings of various elixirs have been planted on them.

Compared with low-level spiritual plants such as "Golden Bead Rice", many elixirs have almost harsh requirements for the growth environment.

For example, the mother vine plant of "Purple Cloud Fruit" needs to grow in a dark cave with a strong aura, some elixirs like to grow in the shade of backlit trees, while some elixirs can only grow normally when exposed to sunlight.

Therefore, when the spirit planters planted the elixir, they had to open up the medicine field in various places, and then plant the elixir that was most suitable for the environment of the medicine field.

Basically, the more high-level elixirs are, the higher the requirements for their growth environment.

Therefore, those high-level elixirs in the Immortal Cultivation Realm were either collected from the wild, or they flowed out of the elixir gardens of those major sects.

Only when those great sects occupy a large enough territory and have enough spiritual mountain blessed land, can they find a place that meets the living environment of high-level elixirs and use them to cultivate these high-level elixirs.

Some sects with real heritage, such as the Xuanyang Immortal Sect and other major sects, will simply spend a lot of effort to lay out formations to change the climate of the four seasons, and use manpower to interfere with the power of heaven and earth to artificially create an environment suitable for the growth of various elixirs.

However, Zhou Yang's divine sense swept all over the Red Fox Ridge, but he didn't see the figure of Daoist Xiao Ying, nor did he see the figure of the Eagle Lion Beast, so he thought that he should have gone out to do something.

So he immediately took out the Transmission Flying Sword to Xiao Ying and explained his exit from the customs, and then went to the Fire Bat Cave at the foot of the mountain.

The bat droppings in the fire bat cave have long been cleaned up, and now this cave has become the residence of the flying fire bats domesticated by the Zhou family.

Zhou Yuanliang, the beast tamer of the Zhou family, now lives outside the fire bat cave and is responsible for taking care of those flying fire bats that have been preliminarily trained.

As for Zhou Xuanzhao, another beast tamer of the Zhou family, because of his advanced age, he has now returned to the Yuquan Lake Oasis to recuperate.

"Patriarch, after years of domestication by me and Uncle Seventeen, five of those juvenile flying fire bats were successfully domesticated, and the rest of the flying fire bats either died on the way to domestication, or were slaughtered by us after determining that they could not be domesticated. ”

In addition, the four pregnant female adult flying fire bats, except for the two that successfully gave birth to five live cubs, the remaining two gave birth to dead cubs, and now the cubs have been domesticated and grown into juveniles. ”

"So now there are a total of ten flying fire bats living in this fire bat cave, seven females and three males!"

Outside the fire bat cave, seeing Zhou Yang, who had been in retreat for many years, came out, Zhou Yuanliang congratulated the ninth brother at the same time, and also took the initiative to tell the results of these years.

Hearing that only ten flying fire bats were successfully domesticated, Zhou Yang also felt a little regretful in his heart, but he also knew that Zhou Yuanliang and the others must have done their best.

So he didn't blame anything for this, but instead reached out and patted Zhou Yuanliang on the shoulder with a look of approval and said: "It's hard fifteenth brother, you have successfully domesticated the flying fire bat, and you have made great contributions to the family, and when I discuss it with my great-grandfather, I will definitely reward you for your merits!"

praised Zhou Yuanliang, the clan brother, and Zhou Yang inquired from his mouth and knew that Xiao Ying and the others had originally gone to the "Luminous Town", and it was said that the mortals over there suddenly fell ill and hundreds of people suddenly fell ill, suspecting that there was a plague outbreak.

And that is, when he talked to Zhou Yuanliang, Xiao Ying, who received the message from his flying sword, also sent him a message back.

After reading the information sent by Xiao Ying, his face froze, and when he released the flying sword, he flew towards the side of the ore vein.

"Zhou Lang, you're finally out of the customs!"

In Luminous Town, when Zhou Yang fell the sword light, Xiao Ying threw herself into his arms and hugged him with a happy face.

The two haven't seen each other for nine years, this is the longest time they have been separated since they met, and it's no wonder that she, who has always been shy, can't help but do this kind of thing in public this time.

"Ying'er, tell your husband quickly, what's going on here?

Zhou Yang hugged the girl's palm and patted the girl's shoulder gently, but he asked about business.

Hearing him say this, the excitement on Xiao Ying's face flickered, and then he let go of the hands that were holding his body and looked at him and whispered: "It's not the plague, it's poison, these mortals' drinking water has been poisoned!"

When Zhou Yang heard this, his face changed suddenly, and he looked at Xiao Ying with an ugly face and asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure it was poisoned? Have you found out who ordered it? Is it a human or a demon beast?"

"Now the poison in the mortal body has been solved by the concubine body with the detoxification elixir soaked in water, as for who gave the poison, the concubine body is still looking for it, at present, the possibility of the demon beast should be the largest!"

Xiao Ying said that she used the detoxification elixir to help mortals detoxify, and directly answered Zhou Yang's question with facts.

If it weren't for poisoning, the antidote elixir would not have had an immediate effect.

"I know about this, and I'll look into it. ”

Zhou Yang nodded solemnly, and decided to investigate the truth of this matter in person.

He also agreed with Xiao Ying's speculation about the poisoning of demon beasts, but he was even more afraid that it was artificial, if it was artificially poisoned, then the situation would be very complicated, and he had to find out the murderer who poisoned him!

In order to find out the murderer, Zhou Yangming left Luminous Town with Xiao Ying and the others, but in fact, he secretly returned to the town by himself and used the "Golden Cicada Hiding Technique" to hide his aura, and then released his divine sense to shroud the entire town and the surrounding wilderness.

Today, Zhou Yang's divine consciousness has reached a distance of ten miles, and the first-floor monks of the Purple Mansion who have just opened up the Purple Mansion have a divine consciousness covering twelve or thirteen miles.

A ninth-layer cultivator like Zhou Minghan had a divine sense covering only four or five miles, which was twice as bad as Zhou Yang!

With such a powerful divine sense, Zhou Yang no longer had any doubts about whether he could successfully open up the Purple Mansion in the future.

If even he can't succeed in opening up the Purple Mansion, then it is even more impossible for the other monks to succeed.

And when he used his powerful divine sense to monitor the entire town, he also counted the number of mortals here by the way, and found that after nine years had passed, the number of mortals settled in the town, including the villages outside the town, had exceeded 20,000.

And he remembered very well that according to his and the old patriarch Zhou Minghan's plan, the number of mortals who migrated to the new oasis of the Zhou family was only more than 12,000 people!

"These mortals are really capable of giving birth!"

The corners of Zhou Yang's eyes twitched slightly, and he felt a headache about this matter.

Compared with encouraging the monks of the Zhou family to have more offspring, he has the opposite attitude towards the matter of mortals giving birth to offspring.

The land of the oasis is limited, and if the number of mortals expands too quickly, it will increase productivity in the short term, but in fact, it will overdraft the development potential of the oasis in advance.

If this matter is not stopped, in less than 30 years, the new oasis will become the next Yuquan Lake oasis!

"It can't go on like this, when I go back, let Ying'er and her father research a sterilization prescription, and those women who have given birth to three children must all be sterilized!"

Zhou Yang secretly gritted his teeth, his heart was ruthless, and he directly made a decision that could be said to be cruel and ruthless.

As for why women are sterilized and not men, it is, of course, because the matter of giving birth to offspring is entirely up to the woman, not the man.

What happens if a man in a family is sterilized and a woman becomes pregnant?

Squatting outside Luminous Town like this, Zhou Yang squatted for more than ten days.

He was very patient, even if he didn't find anything for more than ten days, he was not discouraged, but he would change his position every day to squat.

After squatting for twenty-four days, Zhou Yang finally found the murderer who poisoned him.

What made him breathe a sigh of relief was that the poisoned murderer was indeed a demon beast, not the human he feared the most.

It was an extremely rare second-order high-grade demon beast "Phantom Jade Butterfly", this kind of demon beast usually inhabits various spirit jade mines, feeds on spirit jade, and will only leave the lair on the night of the full moon to come to the ground to absorb the power of the moon to practice.

The "Phantom Jade Butterfly" itself is not poisonous, but when it is cultivating, there will be a kind of butterfly powder falling on its body, this kind of butterfly powder is not a big problem for immortal cultivators, but mortals will be poisoned after smelling it.

When Zhou Yang saw the "Phantom Jade Butterfly", this demon beast was dancing in the upper reaches of a stream where mortals get water to drink in Luminous Town.
