Zhou Minghan has great expectations for Zhou Yang.

The Yuquan Zhou family, starting from Zhou Yuquan, the founder of the family, has always had monks in the foundation building period, and it is a talent that has developed to this scale in just over two hundred years.

But to this day, the Yuquan Zhou clan seems to have run out of luck, and since Zhou Minghan, there has been no new foundation building period monk for hundreds of years.

That's dangerous.

A family of immortal cultivators is most afraid of the sudden disappearance of high-level monks.

Once the protection of the monks in the foundation building period is lost, the Zhou family will not be able to continue to develop and expand the scale of the family, even the ancestral land of Yuquan Lake Oasis and Yuquan Peak may not be able to hold it.

Therefore, under the secret instruction of Zhou Minghan, the development of the Zhou family in recent years has actually stopped secretly, and he is afraid that if he continues to expand, it will cause others to snoop on him, causing him to bring the disaster of extinction to the Zhou family after his fall.

However, this is not a cure after all, and the best way is for the Zhou family to give birth to a new foundation building period monk before his fall.

As long as there are foundation building period monks in charge, with the help of the third-order formation [Ten Thousand Wood Qingtian Array] on Yuquan Peak and dozens of Qi cultivation period clansmen, there are many foundation building period monks attacking, and they will not be able to hurt the foundation of the Zhou family.

Originally, Zhou Minghan put his hope on the younger generations of the "Xuan" generation, and even made up his mind, if before his fall, no one in the Zhou family had been promoted to the foundation building period, he would rather dedicate most of the output of the Yuquan Lake Oasis and the Zhou family to Huangshamen in exchange for the protection of Huangshamen, rather than let the Zhou family be wiped out because of the large number of interests.

But now, Zhou Minghan found that maybe he should change his mind.

With the potential that Zhou Yang, the younger generation of the "Yuan" generation, is now showing, as long as he is given another twenty or thirty years, the hope of building his foundation is probably much greater than that of those of the "Xuan" generation.

He looked carefully at the young man standing in front of him, the young man's handsome and elegant appearance and temperament were not his focus, what he valued was the kind of humble and non-arrogant posture that the young man showed in front of him, the kind of calm mentality that he knew he was looking at him, but still able to face it calmly.

After reading it, he had only one thought in his heart.

This son can be very useful!

Of course, as an elder, even if he is satisfied and happy in his heart, he will not show too much on his face, and he can't boost the arrogance of young people.

Therefore, although he was extremely happy in his heart, his face returned to indifference, and he looked at Zhou Yang indifferently and asked, "Do you know the old man's intention for letting you come here?"

"My grandson doesn't know. Zhou Yang replied honestly.

"Originally, according to the rules of the clan, after the young monks of the clan were twenty years old, they had to go down the mountain to experience and serve the family for a period of time before they could return to the mountain to meditate. ”

"But your situation is special, although you are only seventeen years old, you are already a sixth-level Qi cultivator, in the past hundred years, no one in the clan has had your cultivation when he came down the mountain at the age of twenty. ”

"It just so happens that you have just broken through with the help of the leyline aura, and it will take at least five years to boil up mana in the future, so if you stay in the mountain, wouldn't it be a waste of manpower?"

"So the old man decided to make a special deal and let you go down the mountain in advance to serve the family, which is also a great benefit to your experience and your future cultivation. ”

Zhou Minghan looked at Zhou Yang, who looked obedient, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he said his arrangement in a deep voice.

As he expected, after Zhou Yang heard his words, his face changed, obviously he didn't expect that calling him here would be such a thing.

However, what made him not know whether he was happy or depressed was that Zhou Yang's face changed slightly, and he immediately regained his composure, and then bowed respectfully and said, "Grandson understands and is willing to obey the family's arrangement." ”

Seeing this, he asked in a strange tone, "Don't you want to know where the old man plans to arrange you?"

"The grandson believes that no matter what the great-grandfather arranges, he will ultimately be for the good of the grandson. ”

Zhou Yang smiled in his heart, and directly threw out this sentence that made Zhou Minghan speechless for a while.

After a long time, he laughed and scolded angrily: "It's really a little slippery head, Xuanhao's child and his wife are both upright people, how could they give birth to a little slippery head like you!"

After speaking, without waiting for Zhou Yang to cry out, he took the initiative to say the arrangement for Zhou Yang.

"Your spiritual root attribute is biased towards the two attributes of gold and fire, and you are also practicing the masculine and domineering technique of the "Golden Yang Flame Technique", except for the lack of combat experience, the fighting ability is actually not weaker than any monk of the same level. ”

"It just so happens that the monk stationed in Qingping Mountain has reached the garrison period, so you can go over and replace him for five years, and after five years, the old man will let someone else come to replace you. ”

"In addition, the old man hopes that during this time, you can take the time to learn the alchemy technique in the hundred arts of cultivating immortals, the family now has no good seedlings on the refining part of the old man to take over the old man's class, if you can make achievements in this area, it will be a great thing for the entire family. ”

After Zhou Minghan finished talking about his arrangement, he waved his hand again, and threw a gray storage bag and a small silver shield into Zhou Yang's hand.

"In the storage bag are some low-level refining materials, and there are some old man's experience in alchemy, as well as a copy of the family's collection of "True Solution to Refining", you must take good care of these things, and you must not pass them on. ”

"As for this [Silver Gang Shield] magic weapon, it is the best of the many second-order magic weapons refined by the old man, so it should be regarded as the old man's compensation for your early descent from the mountain. ”

"Okay, if you don't have anything else to do, you can retreat, and the trip to Qingping Mountain is best completed within a month. ”

Zhou Minghan's words and operations, Zhou Yang was stunned when he heard it, and in the end, he almost instinctively grabbed the thing in his hand and said: "That grandson will retire first." ”

It wasn't until he walked out of the cave and heard the sound of the cave gate closing that he was shocked and came back to his senses to understand what had happened.

He recalled what Zhou Minghan had explained in the cave just now, and muttered to himself with a look of confusion in his eyes: "What happened to me just now? How could I lose my soul and not even react at all? This is not like my character!"

Before he could finish speaking, his heart suddenly jumped, and he couldn't help but make a bold guess.

"Could it be that the old patriarch has cast some spell on me?"

In the next moment, he immediately stopped his dangerous thoughts.

Even if the old patriarch cast any spells on him, he would definitely just be joking with him, there was no need to think too much about it, thinking crankily would only harm himself.

Thinking of this, he looked at the storage bag and magic weapon in his hand, carefully put them away, and then said hello to Zhou Yun, the seventh grandfather who was drinking tea alone under the tree, and asked him to help open the formation and send him down the mountain.

Before finally walking out of the formation, Zhou Yang glanced back at the top of the mountain, and saw that the seventh grandfather, Zhou Yun, was standing under the tree and watching him leave with a smile.

"This kid seems to have discovered something, and it seems that he can't use this little trick to trick him again in the future, so as not to cause a bad misunderstanding. ”

In the cave mansion on the top of the mountain, Zhou Minghan saw the change in Zhou Yang's expression after leaving through his divine sense, and he pulled his beard a little embarrassed, and a look of regret flashed on his face.

Just now, when he was indeed speaking, he quietly cast a soul dementoring spell that he had obtained in the early years to affect Zhou Yang's mind.

It's not that he was afraid that Zhou Yang would have any resistance to his arrangement, but it was purely because he couldn't see Zhou Yang's youthful appearance and wanted to tease him.

It's like those adults among the mortals who deliberately give him a little soju in order to play tricks on him, and then look at the pretending mature children with snot and tears flowing down their noses and laughter.

This kind of tricking, of course, made the elders and adults feel proud of the success of the trick at that time, but when they found that their tricks would make the juniors psychologically disgusted with themselves, they would regret it.

This is the case with Zhou Minghan now.

Fortunately, Zhou Yang is really psychologically mature, not pretending to be mature, and he didn't really complain about this old man who was dedicated to the family because of this little joke.

After he walked down to the top of the mountain, he quickly returned to his attic on the mountainside, and closed the door to sort out the day's harvest.

First of all, the storage bag that the old patriarch gave him, this kind of storage magic weapon made of the skin of the demon beast [Spirit Void Mouse], almost every immortal cultivator has one piece, even the poorest casual cultivator, he will try his best to buy one for himself.

Of course, it is also a storage bag, which is also divided into large and small grades, the kind of storage bag used for casual cultivation during the general Qi cultivation period, and most of the space inside is only three feet square, barely enough to hold a few sets of clothes and a small amount of sundries.

And the Yuquan Zhou family, as long as the cultivation reaches the Qi cultivation period, each clan can receive a five-foot square storage bag from the family for free.

But now, his storage bag has been upgraded.

The gray storage bag given by the old patriarch was actually three zhang square, and in addition to a tool for refining and a few refining classics, it was also filled with low-level refining materials such as dark iron, red copper, and century-old iron wood.

Zhou Yang roughly calculated, if it was only a magic weapon that used less materials such as swords, these materials would be enough for him to refine hundreds of times.

"Ordinary clansmen learn alchemy, although the family will also provide materials for free to practice, but if the sky is over, it will give me a hundred chances, the old patriarch has given me so many materials, even if you are stupid, you can succeed two or three times!"

Zhou Yang looked at the full materials in the storage bag, and said in his heart that it would be a lie if he was not moved.

He knew that the old patriarch had always had a clear distinction between public and private, and even if he was talented, he would not make an exception for him in this regard.

Then there is only one reason why he can practice with so many materials now, and the old patriarch used his personal savings to exchange these materials from the family treasury.

"It seems that the old patriarch really wants me to inherit his alchemy skills, as the only third-order refiner in the family, he must have seen something, maybe I really have a good talent in refining. ”

Zhou Yang remembered his own practice "Golden Yang Fire Technique", and suddenly realized, and a smile appeared on his face.

Then he carefully put away the storage bag and looked at the other thing that the old patriarch had given, the second-order magic weapon [Silver Gang Shield].
