Jingming Peak is a small mountain peak hundreds of meters high on the White Camel Ridge, the peak is less than fifty miles away from the main peak of the White Camel Ridge, the mountain originally had a second-order middle-grade natural spiritual vein, and now it has been cultivated to the third-order lower grade by the Chen family, which can accommodate two or three foundation building period monks and hundreds of Qi cultivation period monks to practice.

However, Zhou Yang and the number of monks who were thrown down from the building boat by the ancestor of the Chen family far exceeded the limit of this spiritual peak, and more than a dozen foundation building period monks and dozens of qi cultivation period monks were crowded on this small peak, and the spiritual energy of the spiritual veins on the mountain was not enough at all.

And Jing Mingfeng is the spiritual peak of the Chen family after all, and Zhou Yang and these small family cultivators, no one dares to provoke the Chen family with the crime of destroying the spiritual peak.

Therefore, Zhou Minghan and the other dozen or so foundation building period monks discussed, everyone simply stopped practicing for the time being, and used the spiritual energy of the spiritual veins on the mountain peak to supply the cultivation of their respective family qi cultivation period monks, and if they really wanted to practice, they would refine the spirit stone to practice.

Zhou Yang's cultivation at the ninth level of Qi cultivation could no longer be improved, and the demand for spiritual energy was not great, not to mention that he didn't have much heart to practice now.

After the Zhou family and his party settled down on Jingming Peak, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan called him to the quiet room to talk.

"Let's not talk about what happened in Jinxia Mountain, let's talk about the old man going out to hunt demons with Chen Laozu this time. ”

In the quiet room, as soon as Zhou Yang came in and sat down, the old patriarch moved and laid a soundproof barrier in the room to prevent outsiders from eavesdropping.

The arrangement of soundproof enchantments by the divine consciousness can only be done by the powerful divine consciousness of the monks in the foundation building period, and as long as the soundproof enchantment is laid out, it is difficult for outsiders to overhear the conversation without alerting the arranger, even if the divine sense exceeds that of the arranger.

"As you can see, this trip to the demon hunt went quite smoothly, not only did he successfully kill a fourth-order demon beast, but also killed eight third-order demon beasts and hundreds of second-order demon beasts, and all the monks who participated in the battle gained a lot. ”

"But you also saw it, your seventh grandfather, ninth grandfather and your sixth uncle, none of the three of them came back, they fell in the battle with the demon beast, and even Xuantai lost an arm!"

"Fortunately, the efforts of these people are worth it, with their contributions, plus the old man has made a lot of efforts when dealing with the fourth-order demon beasts, Chen Laozu has promised on the way back that as long as we can take out 20,000 spirit stones after refining the Zhuji Dan, he will guarantee that we will get a Zhuji Dan!"

Zhou Yang listened silently, even when he heard the old patriarch say that he could guarantee that he could get the Tsukidan, he didn't show any joy.

What is there for him to rejoice?

For this Zhuji Dan, not only Zhou Yun, Zhou Dan, and Zhou Xuanjing, the three elders of the Zhou family, took their lives, but even his stepmother Zhou Xuanyu and others also ended up in a state of disappearance with unknown life and death.

Originally, the Zhou family was relatively weak in terms of high-end combat power above the ninth level of Qi training, but now that they have lost four elders at once, it is equivalent to nearly half of the high-end combat power of the entire Zhou family, how can you say that Zhou Yang can still laugh?

The old patriarch Zhou Minghan didn't seem to see Zhou Yang's ugly face, and continued: "You don't have to worry about spirit stones, the family's finances have gradually improved over the years, and you let the family earn a lot of spirit stones a while ago, plus the five or six thousand spirit stones that your parents have privately accumulated, as well as the savings in the old man's hands, our family can still get 20,000 spirit stones!"

"And this time the demon hunt, although the Chen family took the biggest gain, but our family also got a mouthful of soup to drink, and each of us got a lot of demon beast materials and spiritual objects, which is enough to fill part of the family heritage consumed by buying Zhuji Dan. ”

After saying this, Zhou Minghan stared at Zhou Yang with deep eyes, and suddenly asked, "Do you know the old man's intention to tell you this?

"Grandson knows!"

Zhou Yang nodded with a heavy face, and muttered in a low tone: "Sun Er has always known that the old patriarch, you all hope that Sun Er can build a foundation, and I hope that after Sun Er builds a foundation, he can lead the family to become strong, so that the blood of the ancestors of the family will not be shed in vain, so that the younger monks of the family can have a better cultivation environment and more cultivation resources!"

"That's right! Why do our family monks have a better life than Sanxiu? It is because we have a family to rely on, and we have family seniors who are willing to sacrifice themselves to fulfill our descendants, and we all have the same blood flowing in our bodies, and we all hope that our juniors will no longer be like ourselves, trapped in the Qi cultivation period and foundation building period all our lives, we are a group of people with goals, ideals, and aspirations!"

"It used to be an old man, now it's you, we are all people who have been chosen by the elders of the family to achieve their goals, realize their ideals, and realize their ambitions, so that we can achieve these goals, ideals, and ambitions, they are willing to pave the way for us with their own paths and lives without regrets, and pave the road with their own bones to help us go further and higher on the road of cultivation!"

"The old man is talking to you so much now, not that he wants to oppress you with righteousness and family affection, and let you bear a heavy responsibility, the old man just wants to tell you that if you fail to build the foundation, not only will you see no hope in the future, but you will also be like those family ancestors who sacrificed for you to build the foundation in the future, become the paving corpse of the family latecomers, whether you choose to become the family leader, or become the corpse of paving the road, it is all up to you!"

Whether to become the leader of the family, or to become the corpse that paves the way!

Zhou Yang's heart was shocked, and familiar faces flashed in his mind, Old Man Zhou Quan, Old Man Zhou Dan, Old Man Zhou Yun, Stepmother Zhou Xuanyu, Sixth Uncle Zhou Xuanjing, and finally stopped at a very unfamiliar face.

That unfamiliar face was the old man Zhou Qian, the former great elder of the Zhou family.

Old man Zhou Qian once became the lucky one of the entire Zhou family like him, and got the precious opportunity to take the foundation building, but he failed to build the foundation.

And the life of the old man Zhou Qian after the failure to build the foundation, he also saw and understood.

Would he like that, would he like that? Would he want to live like that in the future?

"No, never, I will never fail!"

He looked at the old patriarch Zhou Minghan with blazing eyes, and his eyes were full of determination and determination.

Seeing this, the old patriarch finally showed a look of relief on his face and exclaimed: "Okay, just keep this mental state, then you don't care about anything, prepare to build the foundation here, your stepmother and those missing clansmen, the old man will ask the Chen family to help find it, you can wait for the Zhuji Dan to arrive!"

"Great-grandfather, rest assured, grandson understands everything, and grandson has something to hand over to you here, and some things to tell you that were inconvenient to say before. ”

Zhou Yang said, handing over the jade slip he had obtained from the sand bandits that recorded the secret art of blood demons to the old patriarch, and at the same time told some of his speculations about the sand bandits' attack on the oasis.

It can be seen that when the old patriarch heard that the secret technique of the Demon Dao was recorded in the jade slip, his face changed instantly, and he almost wanted to complain to him.

However, after hearing him explain the details of the secret technique of the Demon Dao in the jade slip, his greatly changed face gradually eased, and then his divine sense moved, and he directly released his divine sense and devoted himself to studying it.

About half an hour later, the old patriarch withdrew the divine consciousness that had been put into the jade slip, and his expression had completely returned to its original state.

"You have done a good job in this matter, although these three secret techniques are demonic methods, but my immortal monk can also use them, and they can be passed on as the heritage of the family, but after all, they are demonic secret techniques, and they are inevitably true, so it is better not to use them in front of people. ”

After the old patriarch finished speaking, he flipped his hand and put the jade slip into his storage bag.

Then he looked solemn, looked at Zhou Yang with a solemn face and said: "But Xiao Jiu, you remember, the Demon Dao monk is selfish and cruel, exterminating human nature, and is the mortal enemy of our immortal cultivators, if you get the Demon Dao exercises, magic weapons, and pills in the future, even if the things are good, remember not to practice and use them, once you get it, it is best to destroy it immediately, if you can't destroy it yourself, the family will hand it over to the high-level monk who can destroy it." ”

"Grandson understood. Zhou Yang nodded seriously.

After studying the Blood Demon Secret, he realized the danger of the Demon Dao Monk, even if the old patriarch didn't say it, he wouldn't practice magic skills and use magic weapons.

"Okay, now let's talk about your speculations, this matter is ...... according to the old man."

Zhou Minghan and Zhou Yang, the two grandchildren, had a secret discussion in the quiet room for most of the day before it ended, and then Zhou Yang settled down in the mansion arranged by the Chen family with peace of mind.

Every day, he either reads books and reads the travelogues and personal biographies written by those senior monks, or guides and shares his own cultivation experience with Zhou Yuanchun and several other people of the same generation.

And Zhou Minghan, Zhou Xuanbin, and Zhou Xuantai, the three high-ranking Zhou family leaders, are relatively busy, and Zhou Minghan has to visit the foundation monks of the various good families, exchange the lists of missing people from both families, and pay attention to each other to help each other find them.

And Zhou Xuanbin and Zhou Xuantai were the actual people in charge of practicing this agreement, and they had to work with the Qi cultivation monks who had returned from the demon hunting of other families to run all over the Baisha River Oasis to find those missing monks.

At the same time, after returning to the family to understand the situation from the left-behind Zhuji monks, the ancestor of the Chen family sent people to the headquarters of Huangshamen, asking Huangshamen to use his own intelligence channels to help find out the origin of those Zhuji monks and even the Zifu monks among the bandits.

And he himself adjusted his state and entered the earth fire room on the white hump, ready to open the furnace to refine Tsukidan.

The news that the ancestor of the Chen family opened the furnace to refine the Zhuji Dan soon spread throughout Jingming Peak under the deliberate publicity of the Chen family, and after Zhou Yang learned the news, he said in his heart that it was fake if he was not excited.

However, when he heard that the three foundation building monks of the Chen family stationed in Jinxia Mountain had all fallen, his excited heart instantly cooled down.

The loss of three foundation-building monks at one time can be called a traumatic injury for the Zifu family, which has more than a dozen foundation-building monks like the Chen family.

So after the Chen family's ancestor refines it into the Tsukidan, will he really take out half of it and distribute it to other families like before?
