However, it was said that after Zhou Yang left Huangshamen, he did not go back to Zhou's house directly, but returned to the ruins of the Yin Puppet Sect.

At the same time that he released Xu Song here, he also handed over the beast soul, abdominal skin, and demon bones of the "Genshan Turtle", as well as the fourth-order demon beast beast soul that he had killed over the years, to Xu Song.

"The cultivation problem of the seniors, the juniors have no way to solve it for the time being, but the juniors also understand the seniors' feelings of wanting to improve their cultivation strength, these beast souls and these materials, just give them to the seniors to refine a demon soul flag!"

Ghost Dao Demon Cultivator is good at exorcizing ghosts, and the most favorite and most used magic weapons are ghost flags and ghost flags refined with human souls and beast souls.

As a fifth-order low-grade demon beast, the "Genshan Turtle" is not as strong as the soul of the human Jindan stage monk Yuanshen, but it is also much stronger than the divine soul of the Zifu period monk.

With Xu Song's refining level, as long as the materials Zhou Yang gave him were well refined, he might not be able to refine a fifth-order magic weapon.

This can be regarded as Zhou Yang's compensation for his inability to practice.

"It's rare for you kid to be so generous, and the old man is welcome. ”

Xu Song's ghost eyes swept Zhou Yang, a different color flashed in his eyes, but he unceremoniously brushed his sleeves and put all the things away.

In the end, he didn't forget to say to Zhou Yang: "By the way, it's useless to keep your corpse bead anyway, it's better to give it to the old man to cultivate that demon corpse." ”

When Zhou Yang heard his words, his eyelids suddenly twitched, and then he raised his eyes to look at him for a while before he nodded and said, "Since the seniors have spoken, how can the juniors not give up this dead thing." ”

After speaking, he handed over the "corpse bead" he had obtained by killing the fourth-order demon corpse in the "Sealing Demon Cave" to Xu Song.

This "corpse bead" Xu Song has been coveting for a long time, and now that he finally got it in his hands, he was also overjoyed.

I saw that after he held the fist-sized dark green corpse bead and played with it a few times, he turned his palm and put it away, and then with a wave of his hand, he threw out a jade slip and landed in front of Zhou Yang.

"The old man doesn't take your things in vain, this jade slip records the old man's detailed annotations on the ten third-order formations, as long as your junior is not hopelessly stupid, after reading these annotations, there should be no problem in promoting the third-order high-grade array mage!"

Although Zhou Guangxiang has been successfully building the foundation for sixty or seventy years, the level of the formation is still at the level of the third order, which is not because his formation talent is too poor, but because he has been untaught, and he can only rely on his own exploration.

And the formation is broad and profound, and it takes a long time to test and study in order to gain something.

In recent decades, Zhou Guangxiang has taken the place of Zhou Yang to deal with the affairs of the clan, and it has been difficult for him to find time to study the formation in addition to his practice.

Zhou Yang saw this situation in his eyes and kept it in his heart, and mentioned this matter to Xu Song several times, asking him to guide Zhou Guangxiang's formation.

Now that he finally got his wish, he couldn't help but smile on his face.

He took the jade slip with one hand and put it away, and thanked him with a smile on his face: "The younger generation Guangxiang thanks the seniors for their kindness. ”

Ten days later, Huang Yi, who had appeased his family, embarked on the road to Rhino Horn Continent alone with dozens of "Yuan Magnetic Traction Array Discs" refined by Zhou Guangxiang.

At the same time, after handing over the jade slip given by Xu Song to Zhou Guangxiang, Zhou Yang also temporarily retook over the responsibility of the patriarch and handled the family affairs in place of Zhou Guangxiang, who was in retreat and comprehending the formation.

The Zhou family has developed to the present, the seven deacons and elders perform their duties, and there are many stewards at the entrance of the nine halls below, and there are not many things that the patriarch has to deal with.

Taking the Law Enforcement Hall as an example, when a low-level punishment such as a fine of up to three years or whipping is imposed on a person who has committed a mistake in the ninth level of Qi cultivation, it is only necessary to make relevant records for inspection, and it can be decided by the law enforcement elder without notifying the patriarch.

Only when it involves violations of law and discipline in the middle and high ranks of the clan, or when it is necessary to impose a major punishment on the wrongdoer, will the law enforcement elder go to the patriarch to confirm whether it will be carried out before the execution.

Speaking of Caitang, the financial elders of Caitang have the right to independently approve finances below 1,000 spirit stones, and the annual cumulative amount is 3,000 spirit stones.

Only when there is a need to use more than 1,000 spirit stones for a large project expenditure, it is necessary to approve and approve the patriarch.

Finally, when it comes to the public security hall, the public security hall says that it is in charge of public security, but in fact, the law enforcement power within the Zhou family is in the hands of the law enforcement hall, so the public security hall is actually in charge of the security of the Zhou family's outer fang city and oasis.

When managing public security outside the clan, as long as it does not involve the monks of the foundation building period, or the conflict between several powerful people of the same level in the Huangshamen, Chen family, and Nie family, the public security elders have the right to deal with it according to the public security management regulations issued by the Zhou family, and the results of the disposal are recorded and publicized, without the need to report to the patriarch.

As for the hall departments such as the Chuangong Hall, the General Affairs Hall, the Internal Affairs Hall, the Foreign Affairs Hall, the Baiyi Hall, and the War Hall, they basically only accept the orders of the patriarch and the family elders, and only when they make a year-end summary, or when they encounter some more important events, they will need the patriarch to come forward.

And Zhou Yang, as a monk of the Purple Mansion Period, his energy and divine sense are not comparable to those of the monks of the Foundation Building Period.

For example, when reviewing the law enforcement records and financial revenue and expenditure records submitted by the Law Enforcement Hall and the Finance Hall, he can completely use them wholeheartedly, read several account books and files at the same time, and quickly find out the suspicious points and loopholes in them, and find out whether there is any favoritism and greed.

Basically, he only needs to work for one day to handle the official duties that have accumulated for a month.

Therefore, as long as he does not encounter the kind of things that have to be approved and decided by the patriarch, his personal cultivation will not be delayed much because of dealing with these clan affairs.

Of course, these are just an ideal situation when Zhou Yang does not take the initiative to meddle in other things.

In fact, there are quite a few things he has to do on his own initiative.

For example, he would go to the school every day to visit his father Zhou Xuanhao, who was there to teach the young monks of the Zhou family with the masters, and by the way, he would teach some minor monks who had not left the school to solve their doubts, of course, including his apprentice Lu Xuewei.

Then he also had to solve his doubts and teach his cultivation experience to a few monks of the Zhou family who occasionally came to his door.

In addition, you should also take time to ride your own spirit pet Golden-winged Thunder Eagle to patrol the oasis to enhance the relationship between people and pets and deter outsiders.

In short, as the only Supreme Elder of the Zhou family at present, Zhou Yang actually has no leisure when he is not in retreat.

Busy time always flies quickly, half a year passes in a flash.

Half a year has passed, and Jiang Yuyan's 450th birthday was held as scheduled.

In order to boost people's morale this time, Huangshamen specially ordered all affiliated families under its command, as long as they are not in retreat or missing, they must send a foundation monk to Huangshamen to celebrate their birthday.

So, on the day of the birthday celebration, two or three hundred foundation monks took off to the scene of the celebration with their swords, and the scene was very spectacular.

Then there is the birthday celebration.

Congratulatory gifts like this kind of birthday celebrations, unless they have a good relationship with the birthday star, or if they have something to ask for, otherwise the congratulatory gifts are only for good looks and celebrations, and do not require how valuable they are.

After all, immortal cultivators are all long-lived existences, if they ask people to offer precious treasures on every birthday, if this goes on for a long time, who would dare to come to congratulate them on their birthday?

Therefore, the congratulatory part of this birthday is not much attention.

At that time, after the monks who participated in the birthday celebration entered the ceremony, they all gathered in twos and threes to make good Taoist friends and sit down to eat and drink, or talk to each other about some strange things in the immortal cultivation world, or show off what elixirs and magic weapons they have refined, or show off what genius they have produced.

Occasionally, when someone presents something rare, it will also attract some people to discuss, but most of them are jokes.

Because everyone knows that at this time, when offering rare treasures, there must be something in the family that wants to ask for Huangshamen, so they will take the opportunity of this congratulatory gift to offer treasures, and they will be honest and honest.

Generally speaking, as long as it is not too difficult to do, the monk who received the ceremony will help him afterwards if he gains face.

However, it was in this situation that an extremely excited and extremely excited singing voice suddenly shocked the audience.

"Zhou Yang, the elder of the Zhou family of Chihu Mountain, will give a congratulatory gift to a fifth-order lower grade demon pill!"

Surprise!

Extremely shocked!

Like a thunderclap on the ground, the entire celebration venue suddenly became as lively as a vegetable market.

Everyone craned their necks to look at the fifth-order demon pill that was being held by the gift recipient.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the jade box containing the demon pill was not closed after it was opened, and all the foundation building monks could clearly see the earthy yellow demon pill with a baby's head inside.

As the saying goes, I have never eaten pork, and I have seen pigs walking.

Although those foundation building stage cultivators had hardly seen what a real fifth-order demon pill looked like before, when they saw the demon pill that was huge in size and exuded pure earth-based spiritual power, they immediately knew that this was definitely a genuine fifth-order demon pill.

Huangshamen got another fifth-order demon pill!

Why do you say again?

Because of Jiang Yuyan's short life, many monks present today have heard about it.

And with its fall, there are no more monks in Huangshamen who can exert the combat power of Jindan.

Once the cultivation of the "Outer Dao Golden Pill" is closely related to the life of the monk himself, once the monk who has practiced the "Outer Dao Golden Pill" falls or sits down, this thing will also dissipate together, unlike the magic weapon that can be inherited by future generations.

Originally, many people thought that with the exhaustion of Jiang Yuyan's longevity, Huangshamen, which lost its pillars and pillars, would definitely decline further.

Even some ambitious people are ready to wait for the decline of Huangshamen and quietly pounce on it to take a bite.

It doesn't have to be a rebellion, it can also be infiltration and bribery.

After all, many of the various immortal cultivation families are inextricably linked with some foundation-building monks in Huangshamen.

As long as the number of monks in the Purple Mansion Period is insufficient, the right to speak in the hands of those foundation building monks will naturally increase, and at that time, the materials that are under the serious control of Huangshamen may be able to be revealed.

But now, Zhou Yang's congratulatory gift of a fifth-order demon pill completely buried the hopes of these people and made them realize a cruel reality.

Even if Jiang Yuyan died, Zhang Yunpeng, who was a ninth-level cultivator in the Purple Mansion, could also refine the fifth-order demon pill as the "Outer Dao Golden Pill" and continue to suppress the entire Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Immortal Realm.

And the Zhou family, who they imagined could be used to fight against Huangshamen, was actually wearing a pair of pants with Huangshamen, and the relationship between the two sides was far closer than they had expected in advance!
