Chapter 97: Zhou Yuanchen
Because he had already made up his mind to hit the foundation building period before the age of sixty, Zhou Yuanchen put down everything as early as half a year ago and came to the helm of the mountain gate of Huangshamen.
There are many rules in the Huangsha Gate, and one of them is that if a ninth-level Qi cultivator who does not have a foundation building pill in the door wants to impact the foundation building period, he can be exempted from all chores within three years, and a special retreat room will be provided for him to help in the main rudder of the mountain gate.
Today's Zhou Yuanchen is concentrating on studying the foundation building experience of many foundation building predecessors in the Huangshamen rudder, hoping to help him build the foundation.
Therefore, when he received the transmission note sent by his father Zhou Xuanbin, he quickly rushed to a teahouse outside the gate of Huangshamen Zongrudor Mountain, and saw Zhou Yang and the others who were drinking tea in the teahouse.
Seeing this, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed deeply to Zhou Xuanbin and said, "The child has seen his father. ”
After speaking, he looked at Zhou Yang on the side, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and he also gave a deep salute and said, "Yuanchen has seen the patriarch. ”
When he left home and went to Huangshamen, Zhou Yang was still a one- or two-year-old child, and the two had not seen each other for decades, if it weren't for Zhou Xuanbin's previous transmission note saying that he came with Zhou Yang, he would never have recognized Zhou Yang's identity.
Now that he saw the little kid who was still rolling in his parents' arms, he suddenly became the foundation building monk he pursued all his life, and also became the patriarch of the Zhou family, the gap in his heart is huge, it can be imagined.
However, as soon as he was halfway through this salute, he was supported and helped up by an invisible force, only to see Zhou Yang wave his big hand, stand up from his seat with a smile on his face, look at him and smile: "Brother Yuanchen is too polite, although I am the patriarch and the younger brother, how can I be such a big gift." ”
When Zhou Xuanbin heard Zhou Yang say this, he also smiled and said: "Hehehe, the patriarch is right, both of you are brothers, we are all a family, and a family does not speak two words, so there is really no need to be so polite." ”
Others are old and sophisticated, of course they know what the family's intention is to support their son to build a foundation, and at this time, they naturally will not dismantle Zhou Yang's platform, which makes the atmosphere awkward.
And Zhou Yuanchen, because of Zhou Yang's special explanation, he didn't know at this time that the family was willing to lend him the merit value of Huangshamen.
Therefore, after hearing his father say this, he, who had not had much contact with the family for a long time, also borrowed the donkey from the slope at this time without being polite, and sat down calmly on the side.
Of course, although his face was calm, his heart was definitely not calm.
After all, he is also eight out of fifty people, and he has been crawling and rolling in the Huangsha Gate for decades, so he naturally understands the truth of "nothing to do and go to the Three Treasures Palace".
Zhou Yang, the new patriarch of the Zhou family, suddenly brought his father to Huangshamen to look for him, and his father still had a happy look on his face.
When he thought of this, he also faintly looked forward to it.
Sure enough, as soon as he sat down, he heard Zhou Yang ask: "I heard that the fifth uncle said that Brother Yuanchen is ready to attack the foundation, I don't know how sure the eldest brother is of success?"
When he heard this, even if his expression was solemn, he did not hesitate to speak out: "The success rate of building the foundation of the Zhongpin spiritual root has always been less than one percent, how can Yuanchen be virtuous, and An dare to say that he will succeed?
"What a good one to die without regrets!"
Zhou Yang exclaimed, and sighed with emotion: "Brother Yuanchen's courage is really admirable to the younger brother, if everyone in my Zhou family has the courage of Brother Yuanchen, this kind of courage, why worry about my Zhou family's disadvantage!"
Zhou Xuanbin, who was on the side, heard his words, and his face couldn't help twitching, and his eyes were full of weirdness.
Everyone is like his son Zhou Yuanchen, who doesn't need to build the foundation Dan to impact the foundation?
Is this because there are many people in the family and they don't die fast enough?
Is it easy for the family to cultivate a ninth-level Qi cultivator?
Based on the situation of the Zhou family, cultivating a sixty-year-old ninth-level Qi cultivator, just the family offerings issued in the forty years from the age of twenty to sixty would amount to more than 2,000 spirit stones, not to mention other expenses such as food, education, medical care, accommodation (spiritual vein and aura consumption) and so on.
The family spent so many resources to cultivate a ninth-level Qi cultivator, for what?
Is it just for them to impact the foundation after practicing the ninth layer of qi?
Of course not!
The family spent so many resources to cultivate a ninth-level Qi cultivator, and what was important was actually his contribution to the family in the next sixty years.
In the first sixty years, the family spent resources to cultivate the children of the family almost free of charge, and the next sixty years are the time for the children of these families to repay the family.
If there was no such free training, how could the "light" generation monks like the old man Zhou Quan and the old man Zhou Yun at the beginning voluntarily pick up the magic weapon to fight to the death for the family at the age of more than 100 years?
Therefore, even a Purple Mansion family like the Chen family would not advocate encouraging the family's Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer cultivators to hit the foundation building period before the age of sixty, because that would definitely outweigh the gains and losses for the family.
Middle-grade spiritual root monks hit the foundation building period, saying that the success rate is close to one percent, but the actual situation is that on average, only one person in every twenty or thirty medium-grade spiritual root monks is likely to succeed.
And even if it is a big family like the Chen family, it is difficult to find thirty middle-grade spiritual root cultivators among the children of the same generation of families.
In other words, if they encourage all the children of the family to hit the foundation building period, it is likely that all the outstanding clansmen of the generation will die before one person can succeed!
And if these people don't die, the value they will play is definitely not only the value of one or two Tsukidans, but at least the value of five or eight Tsukidans!
Therefore, for those immortal cultivators who have the ability to obtain Tsukidan, it is the most normal and best operation to encourage the family cultivators to work hard to accumulate wealth for the family work, and then exchange the wealth for Tsukidan from the family.
Zhou Yang didn't know this truth, he just felt that since he had embarked on the road of cultivating immortals and seeking immortality, when there was still a road ahead, he should fight bravely and dare to move forward.
Otherwise, if you are willing to give up the path to immortality because you are afraid of death, then why did you cultivate immortals in the first place?
Of course, Zhou Xuanbin must also know these truths, but it is one thing to know, and it is another thing to be able to do it.
Only those who have truly passed the three levels of foundation building can truly feel the temptation of immortality and enjoy the benefits of immortality, so as to strengthen their will to pursue immortality.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the monks of the foundation building period and the monks of the Qi cultivation period have opposite attitudes towards the matter of impacting the foundation building.
Zhou Yuanchen was able to make up his mind to hit the foundation, no matter whether what he said now about "although he died without regrets" was a scene, or he really had this kind of unswerving heart to the Tao, Zhou Yang was very satisfied.
He didn't want his hard-earned favor and Huangshamen's meritorious service to be wasted!
If Zhou Yuanchen is really unbearable, then he can only say sorry to Zhou Xuanbin, the fifth uncle.
Fortunately, Zhou Yuanchen, the eldest brother, passed the test of him and the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, and this person has indeed had some outstanding points in his cultivation that has been able to practice in Huangshamen for decades.
"Brother Yuanchen's heart to the Tao is so firm, the younger brother is ashamed!"
He looked at Zhou Yuanchen with a solemn expression and sighed, and then changed his words, and finally said what he meant: "A while ago, the younger brother father and son and great-grandfather helped Zhang Yunpeng's predecessors in Huangshamen to encircle and suppress the demon demons, and luckily obtained eight or nine thousand Huangshamen merit points, after hearing that the fifth uncle talked about Yuanchen's eldest brother, my great-grandfather and I decided to lend these merit points to Yuanchen eldest brother to exchange for Zhuji Dan, I don't know if Yuanchen brother dares to accept this gift?"
