There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and this truth will never go out of style.

The Baisha River Immortal Cultivation Realm is only so big, and it is more than enough to accommodate one Purple Mansion family, but if you want to accommodate two Purple Mansion Families, it is simply impossible!

If the Zhou family is promoted to the Zifu family, the Chen family's status will become very embarrassing.

Everyone is a family under the command of Huangshamen, if the Zhou family is also promoted to the Zifu family, how can the Chen family make the Zhou family obedient?

When the time comes, between the two families, even if the high-level side can refrain from doing anything, what about the people below?

The Baishahe Immortal Cultivation Realm is so big, and there are so many resources, and when the Chen family is dominant, no one dares to say anything, but if the Zhou family is promoted to the Zifu family, the problem here will be complicated.

Therefore, no matter how good the relationship between the ancestors of the Chen family and the Zhou family was and how deep the friendship was, in the face of the family's interests, he must strike at the Zhou family or warn him.

For Zhou Yang, if it was the former Chen family, even if he received this warning, he would not take it seriously.

Because the ancestor of the Chen family is not long in life, as long as he delays for a few decades, and when the ancestor of the Chen family dies to the end, the Chen family, who has no monks in the Purple Mansion period, may not be taken into account by him.

But now it's different, now the Chen family has become the only Twin Purple Mansion family in the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm, and has Chen Ping'an, a new Purple Mansion monk whose longevity is less than half of that of a normal Purple Mansion monk.

Even if the ancestor of the Chen family is full of life, the Chen family will still be the Zifu family for hundreds of years, and they will be the overlord of the Baisha River Immortal Cultivation Realm.

He believed that it was probably because of this that the ancestor of the Chen family dared to warn the Zhou family and dare to knock on the Zhou family even though he knew that he had a good relationship with Cao Wenjin.

You must know that the current ancestor of the Chen family, but the only fourth-order high-grade alchemist in the entire Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm, has this important identity, as long as he is not crazy enough to personally kill the Zhou family's foundation building monk, even if it is Cao Wenjin, he will not be punished for this.

"It seems that Chen Laozu thinks that our sale of [Xuanqing Dan] this time is a bit too high-profile, so he will give us a small tap and tell us to recognize the reality!"

"Since this is the case, we will accept the beating, and try to be low-key in the future, as long as no one in our Zhou family has been promoted to the Purple Mansion and does not touch the core interests of his Chen family, he should not take the risk of making a big deal and directly attack us!"

After Zhou Yang pondered for a while, he calmly said his analysis and thoughts.

"Xiao Jiu, what you said is very right, but what the old man is worried about now is that since Old Ancestor Chen is jealous of our Zhou family, even if he doesn't personally attack us, as long as he releases a little more water when hunting fourth-order demon beasts, I'm afraid that my life will be in danger!"

Zhou Minghan looked at Zhou Yang with a heavy face, and said his worries with a worried face.

This matter is what he is really worried about.

"Great grandfather, your worries are not unreasonable, but we can also make more preparations for this matter, didn't Old Ancestor Cao give me 90,000 Huangshamen merit points? We can ask which monks in Huangshamen have fourth-order defense spirit runes in their hands, and then exchange them for merit points at a high price, and when the time comes, if you really encounter danger, it's a big deal to spend a spirit rune!"

"As long as we survive this [Foundation Building Conference], even if we face the attack of the fourth-order demon beast directly next time, I may not be afraid!"

Zhou Yang thought about it for a while, and said in a deep voice how to deal with it.

"That's all there is to it!"

Zhou Minghan let out a long sigh and nodded in approval of his approach.

Breaking wealth and preventing disasters is also a way out.

After the two discussed the matter, they walked out of the cave and went to the newly built hall of the Zhou family.

This hall was specially built to facilitate the convening of family meetings, and the main hall is located on a hill under the ancestral hall, which is as magnificent as the main hall of the imperial palace, and can accommodate two or three hundred people to discuss matters in it.

Xiao Ying also attended the family meeting, and sat next to Zhou Yang, the patriarch.

Originally, this was the position of the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, but at Zhou Minghan's insistent request, she had to sit in this position and accept the salute of all the clansmen of the Zhou family with Zhou Yang.

In a family like the Zhou family, the patriarch has the majesty of the patriarch, and he can usually talk and laugh casually without etiquette, but on a formal occasion such as a family meeting, everyone must maintain respect for the authority of the patriarch.

Xiao Ying, as Zhou Yang's Taoist companion, is the wife of the patriarch in the Zhou family, so she can naturally share the authority of his patriarch.

"I've seen the patriarch. ”

At this moment, as Zhou Yang walked into the hall and sat down, all the Zhou family monks who had arrived in advance got up and bowed to him.

"Ladies and uncles, please be seated. ”

Zhou Yang waved his hand, and the door of the council hall was closed.

Then he swept his eyes over the hundreds of people in the hall, large and small, and said in a deep voice: "Now it has been more than ten years since the last family meeting, and in the past ten years, I have not fulfilled the duties of the patriarch because I am not in the clan because I am out, so after I come back this time, I want to hold a family meeting to help me understand the current situation of the family, and at the same time, it is also to discuss and solve some problems encountered by the family, as well as the plan for the future development of the family!"

After talking about the reason for convening this family meeting, Zhou Yang also did not hesitate to turn his gaze, looked at Zhou Xuankun, the great elder of the Zhou family, who was sitting in the front position, and said: "Uncle Eleven, you are now the great elder of the family, and you are in charge of family affairs, so you will report on the personnel matters first, and it is best to roughly talk about everyone's cultivation realm!"

At this time, a few days had passed since Zhou Yang came back, because when he came back that day, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan had said that a family meeting would be held next, and the elders and stewards of the family had been busy preparing materials for several days, and now they were well prepared.

At this time, hearing Zhou Yang name himself, Zhou Xuankun immediately stood up and said: "Patriarch Hui, my Zhou family currently has a total of 103 monks, including one monk in the late stage of foundation building, one in the middle stage of foundation building and one in the early stage of foundation building, 6 elders of the ninth layer of Qi training, 5 monks in the late stage of Qi training, 19 monks in the middle stage of Qi training, 43 monks in the early stage of Qi training, 20 monks in the innate realm, and 7 cultivators who have not yet been in contact. ”

"In addition, my Zhou family also has 11 relatives and monks, including one in the foundation building period, two in the ninth layer of qi training, two in the late stage of qi training, five in the middle stage of qi training, and one in the early stage of qi training. ”

"By the way, there are also five monks of the Lu family who live in my Zhou family, including two in the late stage of Qi training, one in the early stage of Qi training, and two in the Innate Realm. ”

"As for mortals, according to the data learned from the investigation a year ago, there are currently 168,432 secular people in my Zhou family, and 42,635 mortals with foreign surnames. ”

Zhou Xuankun's report can be described as quite detailed, and it can be seen that he should have put in a lot of effort.

This is normal, I have experienced two family meetings, and if I haven't made progress, I'm really going to live to a dog at an age.

"Very good, I didn't expect that in just more than ten years, my Zhou family monks have doubled, this is very good, very good!"

Zhou Yang applauded again and again with joy on his face, and he was sincerely happy about this.

The number of clansmen with spiritual roots is hundreds, which is something that Zhou Yang has never done before, which proves that the Zhou family is indeed prosperous and prosperous under his leadership.

Just this shows that he is a very qualified patriarch and has not disappointed the elders who had high hopes for him.

"However, the father and son of the Lu family have only given birth to three offspring with spiritual roots for more than ten years, this luck is really not good, it seems that the luck of the two of them in this life has been exhausted!"

Zhou Yang thought of the Lu father and son who discovered that natural oasis, and he was also quite emotional in his heart.

The father and son were undoubtedly also destined for each other, otherwise they would not have wandered in the sand sea for several years, not only did they not fall, but they found a medium-sized natural oasis.

However, things like chance and luck don't always accompany someone.

Otherwise, two people have been making people at home every day for more than ten years, how can they not only give birth to three offspring with spiritual roots!

Shaking his head, without thinking much about this, Zhou Yang immediately looked at Zhou Xuanhe, the fourteenth uncle who was currently in charge of the Zhou family's finances.

"Fourteenth Uncle, you are now in charge of the family's property, in the past ten years, has the family's financial situation improved?

At the last family meeting, the late elder Zhou Xuanlin, who was in charge of finance, made a big fool, and Zhou Xuanhe also fully learned the lesson of that clan brother this time, and when he heard Zhou Yang ask about himself, he quickly got up and said:

"Patriarch Hui's words, the various types of industries of my Zhou family, compared with more than ten years ago, there is no change, what has changed is the scale of the industry, now the family spirit field has reached two hundred and sixty acres, the annual net income is about 1,300 spirit stones, the production capacity of the red flame iron vein has reached the peak state, and the annual net income can reach 1,500 spirit stones. ”

"After the spirit orchard is managed by the steward, according to the tone set by the patriarch before you leave, the family spirit planter boldly divided a large number of white jade grapes, although there have been many failures, but the number of successes is more, and the spirit wine made from the white jade grapes produced in the spirit orchard has an income of three hundred spirit stones a year!"

"In addition, the domesticated Flame Devouring Spider Spirit Beasts in the family have already laid eggs again, and the number of eggs laid is as high as seventeen, and it is expected that this part of the income will be doubled in the future compared to the previous peak period. ”

"Oh, and the number of Shatuo beasts has also increased by eight, and the number of golden retriever rock sheep has increased by four, and the output of these spirit beasts is all for the family's own use, and the income is not easy to calculate. ”

"In general, based on the annual net income of the family last year, the current annual net income of the family is about six thousand five hundred. ”

"Speaking of expenditures, the family's expenditures are mainly the ones mentioned at the last family meeting, what has changed is the special subsidy for cultivating immortals, due to the large increase in the population of family monks, the patriarch you encourage everyone to learn skills, and now the total value of spirit stones and materials invested by the family in the special subsidy for cultivating immortals and hundred arts every year has reached 1,500 spirit stones!"

"Speaking of the distribution of family contribution points, now the number of monks in the family who meet the criteria for issuing contribution points is increasing year by year, and more than 4,700 will be distributed every year for welfare offerings alone, plus the subsidies given to the stewards, as well as special subsidies for family monks who perform dangerous and difficult tasks, and now the annual contribution points issued by the family have reached more than 5,200 points!"

"In the end, the family currently has 15,286 spirit stones on its account. ”
