Although it has been decided that Zhou Guangcheng will apprentice to Qingyang Zhenren, because the little guy has just been born, Zhou Yang and his wife are not at ease to let him stay in the Xuanyang Immortal Sect.

Therefore, the two and Qingyang Zhenren made a sixteen-year contract, agreeing that the two would first raise the little guy for sixteen years and fulfill their parental responsibilities, and then send him to Xuanyang Immortal Sect to receive the teachings of Qingyang Zhenren.

After everything was negotiated, Zhou Yang and his wife took Zhou Guangcheng back to Chongxuan Mountain together.

The master and the master were overjoyed, and the disciples on Chongxuan Mountain, especially those of the Zhou family, were all overjoyed.

No one in the Zhou family dares to take care of the affairs of Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the family, but in private, the discussion of hoping that his ancestor, the ancestor will leave a bloodline descendant in the family, has never stopped.

All the monks of the Zhou family know that only when Zhou Yang, the old ancestor, leaves a bloodline descendant in the family, his affection for the Zhou family will not fade over time.

Therefore, although Zhou Yang himself did not advocate anything, the disciples on the mountain still held a feast because of this matter and spontaneously celebrated this event for them.

Anyway, it was the disciples' thoughts, and he was in a really good mood now, so Zhou Yang did not disappoint the fun, and attended the celebration with his wife and children with a smile.

And because of the birth of little Zhou Guangcheng, Zhou Yang's continued practice in retreat could only be canceled.

He didn't want his son to come out of retreat and his son wouldn't recognize him as his father.

For the family, he can also adopt a free-range strategy, but his own son, that is not possible under any circumstances.

At least until his son becomes an adult and sensible, he will always be by his side.

Therefore, he revised his plan, and changed the original plan of retreat and cultivation of supernatural powers into a study of alchemy, with the goal of striving to raise his son's alchemy to the fifth order before he became an adult.

Zhou Yang's refiner has been staying at the fourth-order top grade for many years, and over the years, because he has often retreated, he has rarely used refining weapons, and his skills can be said to be a little rusty.

However, his foundation is still there after all, and after refining the weapon a few times, he regained his feel and became proficient.

Under normal circumstances, if a fourth-order high-grade refiner hits the realm of a fifth-order refiner, it is best to use the "Heavenly Epiphany" inspiration brought by the self-created magic weapon to improve the level of alchemy.

When Zhou Yang first created the second-order high-grade magic weapon [Yuanyang Shield], he also obtained a "Heavenly Epiphany", and he gained a lot.

However, creating his own magic weapon was too time-consuming, and the luck component was also very large, Zhou Yang did not plan to follow this path that countless monks had walked this time when he hit the fifth-order refiner this time.

He wanted to be extravagant and forcibly attack the fifth-order refiner directly by refining the fifth-order magic weapon.

The average refiner doesn't have such arrogant capital, but he does.

Over the years, Zhou Yang had accumulated a large number of fifth-order refining materials through the materials he had obtained by killing demon beasts, as well as the loot obtained from looting those monks who had died under his hands.

Because he himself was a fourth-order high-grade refiner, he collected these refining materials and did not sell them.

Now the materials add up to enough for him to try sixty or seventy times.

Zhou Yang asked himself that he was still talented in alchemy, and if he couldn't succeed in sixty or seventy attempts, there was no need for him to learn alchemy again.

Of course, it would be better if we could waste less material.

Therefore, he did not rely on his wealth, so he gave birth to a slack heart, and he would do his best to treat every refining weapon, and he would also sum up lessons and lessons after failure.

And every time the refining failed, teasing Xiao Zhou Guangcheng became the most common thing for Zhou Yang to relieve pressure.

Because of his deep foundation and rapid physical and brain development, Xiao Zhou Guangcheng began to contact practice under Zhou Yang's teaching at the age of three.

The top exercises of "Xuanyang Treasure Book", of course, can only be practiced after building a foundation, so Zhou Yang's exercises for Xiao Zhou Guangcheng to lay the foundation for cultivation are the "Innate Ziyang Gong" given to him by Qingyang Zhenren.

This "Innate Purple Yang Gong" is one of the top among the many basic exercises collected in the Xuanyang Immortal Sect.

It is most suitable for the cultivation of fire-attribute spiritual root cultivators, and the difficulty of cultivation is also very high, and only fire-attribute high-grade spiritual root cultivators will choose to practice.

And the characteristic of this exercise is one word, pure.

The mana of the monks who practice the "Innate Purple Yang Gong" is generally much purer and deeper than that of the monks who practice other exercises.

According to Qingyang Zhenren, the Xuanyang Immortal Sect's Fire Attribute Spiritual Root disciples can successfully build a foundation in fifty years at the latest, and they don't need to take the Zhuji Dan.

With Xiao Zhou Guangcheng's talent, he succeeded in building the foundation within 30 years without any problems.

And so it is.

After practicing for less than two years, Xiao Zhou Guangcheng entered the Qi cultivation period at the age of five and officially became an immortal cultivator in the Qi cultivation period.

As for those named disciples on Chongxuan Mountain, most of them have just come into contact with cultivation at this time, or they have not yet come into contact with cultivation.

That is, this year, Zhou Guangxiang came to Chongxuan Mountain again.

Coming with her this time, there was also Zhou Tongxuan, the patriarch of the Zhou family, and at this time, Zhou Tongxuan was already a second-layer monk of the Purple Mansion.

When Zhou Yang left the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Immortal Realm, he gave three copies of [Purple Heart Chalcedony] to the three Zhou family foundation building monks, and Zhou Tongxuan also relied on the family contribution points left by his father Zhou Guangxiang and his aunt Zhou Guangxiang to exchange for a [Purple Heart Chalcedony] for use.

Now, decades have passed, and the four of them who attacked the Purple Mansion have succeeded in a total of two, namely Zhou Tongxuan and Zhou Shengfan, who was tempered by Zhou Yang with "Qianyang Immortal Light".

In addition, during the years of Zhou Yang's retreat, there was another female cultivator named Zhou Shenghan in the Zhou family who also exchanged a copy of the [Purple Heart Chalcedony] and successfully opened up the Purple Mansion.

So up to now, including Zhou Guangxiang's brothers and sisters, the number of Purple Mansion monks in the Zhou family's own clan has also reached five.

There is also Chong Xuanshan, Zhou Ronghua's cultivation has also reached the ninth layer of the foundation, and Zhou Yang has already given him the [Purple Heart Chalcedony], or it won't be long before he retreats and attacks the Purple Mansion.

And Zhou Shengyu, a high-grade spiritual root monk, has also cultivated to the fifth layer of foundation building, and it is expected that he will be able to hit the Purple Mansion in another fifty or sixty years.

As usual, this time Zhou Guangxiang and Zhou Tongxuan came over, and they also brought a few juniors of the Zhou family over.

Now that these descendants of the Zhou family have come over, they no longer need to walk as Zhou Yang's registered disciples.

Zhou Yang has already made a plan, and after Xiao Zhou Guangcheng grows up and worships the Xuanyang Immortal Sect, he will move the mortals and monks of the Zhou family on this side of Chongxuan Mountain to Dao Xuan Kingdom, and in the future, the Zhou family will be placed on a fourth-order upper spirit mountain in the territory of Dao Xuan Kingdom.

At that time, the Zhou family can also try to let some family members worship the Xuanyang Immortal Sect, so as to consolidate and deepen the connection between the family and the Xuanyang Immortal Sect.

This kind of thing of taking the initiative to send the children of the family into the sect would never have been done by Zhou Yang before.

But the situation is very different now.

In the past, the Zhou family lacked talents and backbones, and any middle-grade spiritual root monk was the precious wealth of the family, and of course he didn't want these precious wealth to flow to others.

But now it's different, now the Zhou family has become a super big family in the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm, and there can be one or two middle-grade spiritual root cultivators in the family who are tested every year.

If all these people stayed in the Zhou family, it would be impossible for the Zhou family to have so many Zhuji Dan for them to take, so it was better to give them a chance to enter the Xuanyang Immortal Sect and go to the sect to fight.

If they can get out of the Xuanyang Immortal Sect, it will also be a great thing for the Zhou family.

Zhou Yang even had another idea, that is, since Zhou Guangcheng would definitely become the high-level ruler of the Xuanyang Immortal Sect in the future, he would definitely need to bring a group of people in the sect to be his henchmen at that time.

In this case, in line with the principle that fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, those children of the Zhou family who are in the Xuanyang Immortal Sect will definitely be given priority to become their targets and be taken care of.

This is also something that is allowed within the rules, even if Qingyang Zhenren and others see this, they will not deliberately block anything.

Xuanyang Immortal Sect, a top sect, was originally full of factions, and even if there was an additional Zhou family faction in the future, there would be nothing.

Anyway, the rules of the sect are there, and no faction can do anything that seriously violates the rules of the sect, otherwise it will definitely be boycotted by other factions.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about monks with family backgrounds guarding and stealing themselves, and sending a large amount of sect resources to families outside their sect.

At this time, Zhou Guangxiang brought Zhou Tongxuan, the patriarch, over at the right time for Zhou Yang, and he just happened to tell them these thoughts.

Zhou Guangxiang learned that Zhou Yang and Xiao Ying gave birth to a child, and he was sincerely happy for them.

As a junior, she now has a group of children and grandchildren, but Zhou Yang and Xiao Ying, the elders, have never had offspring, and whenever she thinks about it, she feels weird.

Now that Zhou Yang has finally left her descendants, she is naturally happy.

But in addition to being happy, she was a little embarrassed, that is, in terms of seniority, Xiao Zhou Guangcheng, who was only five years old, wanted to call her sister.

And she is more than 400 years old this year, although she has a good face, and her face is still the same as that of a young woman in her thirties, but the gray hair that has begun to appear makes people know that she is not young at all.

At this age, she was called sister by a five-year-old child, so it's no wonder that she is not embarrassed.

It's just that this embarrassment is always unavoidable.

Zhou Yang is her elder, and he is the elder who has taken care of her since she was a child, and he is the elder she respects the most.

Even if she was embarrassed, she would never dare to mess up this generation and let Xiao Zhou Guangcheng change to another name.

Fortunately, she is not the only one who is embarrassed, and the person who is more embarrassed than her is Zhou Tongxuan, because in terms of seniority, Zhou Tongxuan still has to call Uncle Zhou Guangcheng and salute respectfully.

In the end, Xiao Ying took care of the two of them, and took Xiao Zhou Guangcheng away with a smile, leaving them to talk to Zhou Yang alone.

"Uncle Nine is happy with his noble son, I don't know if I want to take my brother Cheng back to the family to worship Uncle Xuanhao and Uncle Yuting? If this happy event is passed back to the family, it will definitely make the clansmen happy. ”

Zhou Guangxiang looked at Zhou Yang and spoke about it first.

Tim Ding is a big event, and when the monks of the Zhou family have descendants, they often go to the family cemetery in time to pay tribute to their deceased fathers and grandparents.

Zhou Guangxiang mentioned this matter at this time, which can also be said to be reasonable.

However, Zhou Yang knew that this niece mentioned this matter now, and he did not remind him of the intention of letting Zhou Guangcheng go back to find his roots and recognize his ancestors.

After all, now, the roots of the Zhou family are still in the boundless sand sea cultivation immortal realm, and an important member of the Zhou family like Zhou Guangcheng should go there to find his roots and recognize his ancestors and understand his life experience.

Knowing that he knew, he didn't poke the careful thoughts in his niece's heart, but just shook his head slightly and said: "Cheng'er will definitely go back to worship his grandparents in the future, but not now, I already have a plan for this matter, so don't worry about it." ”

When Zhou Guangxiang heard this, his face changed slightly, and then he hurriedly apologized: "It's the niece who is reckless, since the ninth uncle already has a plan, the niece is naturally relieved." ”

Zhou Tongxuan saw that his aunt was deflated, and at this time, in order to alleviate his aunt's embarrassment, he also hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Old ancestor, I don't know what kind of qualifications Uncle Cheng has?

In Zhou Tongxuan's heart, the high-grade spiritual root qualification is already a very good qualification.

If he had the qualifications of a high-grade spiritual root, he might not have used up two copies of [Purple Heart Chalcedony] to successfully open up the Purple Mansion.

As for the spirit body, there had not been a single spirit cultivator in the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Immortal Realm in the past two or three thousand years, and he really didn't dare to think about it.

In this way, it can also be imagined that when Zhou Yang said that Zhou Guangcheng had the qualification of [Xuanyang Spirit Body], how surprised and shocked Zhou Guangxiang and Zhou Tongxuan were.

And when they learned that Zhou Guangcheng had apprenticed to Qingyang Zhenren and would become a disciple of Xuanyang Immortal Sect in the future, the aunt and nephew were even more furious.

"Uncle Nine......

Zhou Guangxiang looked at Zhou Yang with wide eyes, and stopped talking.

Zhou Yang looked at her with the same face and shook his head slightly: "I know what you want to say, but this matter is a foregone conclusion, you don't have to think about it, let's listen to my plan!"

Immediately, Zhou Yang told the two of them about the exchange of conditions and the agreement between himself and Qingyang Zhenren, and by the way, he also told the Zhou family's future development plan.

After hearing his words, the faces of Zhou Guangxiang and Zhou Tongxuan, the two aunts and nephews, suddenly changed for a while, and fell into deep thought.

From the bottom of their hearts, as members of the Zhou family, of course they don't want Zhou Guangcheng to worship the sect.

That is a spirit body monk, the first spirit body monk since the establishment of the Zhou family, and the first spirit body monk in the boundless sand sea cultivation immortal realm for thousands of years!

With such a genius, no Immortal Cultivator would want him to leave the family.

Not to mention, Zhou Guangcheng is still the first and most likely child of Zhou Yang, the guardian of the Zhou family, and this identity is even more important to the Zhou family than his identity as a spiritual monk.

But reality and ideals are often two different things.

From their point of view, for the sake of the family's interests, of course, they hope that Zhou Guangcheng will stay in the Zhou family, but from Zhou Yang's point of view, when considering the interests of the Zhou family, they must also take into account the interests of Zhou Guangcheng himself.

And from the perspective of the two Yuan Infant Cultivators, Qingyang Zhenren and Lingxiao Zhenren, how could they be willing to let a baby with a [Xuanyang Spirit Body] wander outside?

The aunt and nephew are also parents, so they naturally know how strong the psychological desire of every parent is to "hope for their son to become a dragon".

Of course, the more important point is that Zhou Guangcheng's apprenticeship with Qingyang Zhenren is already an established fact, and no matter how much they oppose it, it is useless.

The Zhou family did not have the strength to play a Yuan Infant Cultivator, even Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the family they admired the most.

So after being silent for a while, Zhou Guangxiang barely squeezed out a smile and said: "It's okay, Brother Cheng can worship Qingyang Zhenren, a senior, as a teacher, and the road will be smooth sailing in the future, if he can marry a Yuan Infant in the future, it will be a great thing and a blessing for our Zhou family." ”

After Zhou Tongxuan heard his aunt's words, he also came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "What my aunt said is true, Uncle Cheng is peerless, and he will become a real person in the future, and when the time comes, my Zhou family will definitely move Liuyunzhou because of this, and become a real big family in the Liuyunzhou Immortal Cultivation Realm!"

"Hehe, if you can think about it, do you have any comments on my plan?"

Zhou Yang smiled noncommittally, and the conversation changed, but he asked the opinions of the two.

Zhou Guangxiang and Zhou Tongxuan are the actual people in power of the Zhou family now, and the opinions of the two of them, in a sense, can represent the opinions of the entire Zhou family.

"Uncle Nine's plan is very good, if we can really have a foothold in the territory of Daoxuan Kingdom as the foundation of the family, it will be of obvious help for our family to get out of the boundless sand sea cultivation immortal realm. ”

"And if we can become a disciple of a top sect like Xuanyang Immortal Sect, there must be many clansmen in the family who are extremely willing, I'm afraid that when the time comes, we will have to formulate some strategies to prevent a large loss of family talents!"

Zhou Guangxiang said, but his eyes were on his nephew Zhou Tongxuan.

Zhou Tongxuan is the patriarch of the Zhou family, and at this time it is a good opportunity for him to perform in front of Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the family, of course Zhou Guangxiang will not steal the limelight of this nephew, so he will not say it after only saying two words.

And Zhou Tongxuan received the hint from his aunt's eyes, and he was also calm, and hurriedly said: "The younger generation also thinks that the plan of the ancestor is really the strategy of the old man to seek the country, and the number of monks in the family is increasing year by year, and the family resources consumed every year are already massive. ”

"And in view of the limited production of the family's Tsukidan, many clansmen are unable to take the Tsukidan to try to build the foundation, over the years, almost every year or two, there are family monks who fall in the Tsuki-building level, which is really regrettable!"

"If we can give them another way to go, it will not only reduce the burden on the family, but also reduce the occurrence of some tragedies, so that more people can have further opportunities on the road. ”

"Very good, since you all think that this plan is feasible, then when you go back, you can gather the entire clan monks to discuss this matter, and continue to speed up the progress of the family monks to migrate to the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm. ”

Zhou Yang nodded with satisfaction, and was also very satisfied with the "deep understanding of righteousness" of the two juniors.

Then he looked at Zhou Guangxiang again and said: "As for Guangxiang, you don't have to worry about it, the top gate sect like Xuanyang Immortal Sect is not so easy to enter, the middle grade spiritual root is only the minimum entry standard, if you really want to get started, you have to have some extraordinary skills, and they only recruit a group of outer disciples in ten years, if you want to worship their sect, sometimes you need a certain amount of luck." ”

"Uncle Nine is right, my niece understands what to do. ”

Zhou Guangxiang responded, and the matter was settled.

It was only at this time, after seeing that Zhou Yang had nothing else to say, that she motioned to her nephew Zhou Tongxuan with her eyes and asked him to explain her intention this time.

After receiving his aunt's signal, Zhou Tongxuan immediately bowed to Zhou Yang and said: "Old Ancestor Mingjian, the younger generation came to Liuyun Continent to meet the old ancestor with his aunt this time, and there is a major matter I want to ask the old ancestor to decide. ”

"Oh, what's the big deal?"

Zhou Yang's face flashed with curiosity, and his eyes looked at him.

Zhou Tongxuan felt his gaze, and said respectfully: "It's about arranging the characters for the monks born in the future, the sixteen character names set by the ancestor of Yuquan at the beginning, now the green generation has been used, and the newly born monks in a few decades have not yet been determined, so I want to ask the ancestor to personally continue the new characters for the descendants of the family on the family tree, so as to determine the dignity of the elders and the young!"

Yuhua Mingguang, Xuanyuan Guangtong, Fuze Rongsheng, Evergreen, this is the Zhou family ancestor Zhou Yuquan personally formulated the sixteen characters for the family in the original Zhou family.

Now that the Zhou family has been established for more than 600 years, the sixteen characters and names are indeed about to be exhausted.

And this kind of thing of renewing the name of the family with a new generation is indeed inseparable from Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the Zhou family with the highest seniority and cultivation no matter what.

For a family of immortal cultivators linked by blood relationship, the role of the word generation is needless to say.

Formulating a new name for the descendants of the family is a matter that needs to be paid attention to, even for Zhou Yang.

"It's a big deal, let me think about it. ”

He nodded slightly, and couldn't help but bow his head in thought.

Although he has never done this kind of thing, Zhou Yang also knows that the formulation of the name of the character is the first meaning, and then it will be considered whether it is catchy, easy to remember, and easy to form a good name with other words.

And he is now continuing the character generation, and he also needs to consider the problem of coherence with the previous sixteen character generations.

Therefore, after thinking carefully for an hour or two, he said: "Since the ancestor of Yuquan originally set sixteen characters, in order to maintain respect for his old man, I will also set sixteen generations for the family!"

"Loyalty and purity, filial piety and righteousness, goodness and celebration, integrity first, what do you think of these sixteen characters?"

He said the sixteen names he had drawn up in one breath, looked at Zhou Guangxiang and Zhou Tongxuan, and asked for their opinions.

These sixteen characters may not be so coherent with the previous sixteen characters of the Zhou family, but they all have their own meanings, and they are better matched with other characters to choose their names.

"The old ancestor is worthy of being the old ancestor, these sixteen characters, all of them have far-reaching meanings, and they are catchy, there is no better choice than this!"

Zhou Tongxuan raised his head and looked at him with admiration on his face, and his words were full of praise.

The niece also thinks that the sixteen characters taken by Uncle Nine are very good. Zhou Guangxiang followed and nodded in agreement.

So, the matter was settled.
