After officially double cultivating with Taoist companion Xiao Ying, with the help of the benefits brought by the first double cultivation, Zhou Yang himself added decades of cultivation.

And over the years, although he has focused on cultivating several supernatural powers, his daily practice has not fallen much because of this, and his cultivation has also increased.

The two phases are superimposed, and his true cultivation is not far from the fifth layer of Jindan.

At this time, with the help of the power of the elixir, after three years of retreat, he successfully raised his cultivation to the fifth layer of the golden pill.

In the past three years, the situation has been calm.

After many temptations of the "Six Dao Alliance", they did not figure out whether Lu Xuanji had passed away, and after all, they did not dare to take the risk of starting a war.

The deterrent power of the Yuanying Nine-Layer Monk is too great, especially a Yuanying Nine-Layer Monk like Lu Xuanji, who is about to reach the end of his life.

The "Six Dao Alliance" also had its own Yuanying Ninth Layer Cultivator, and they knew very well how terrifying the combat power that erupted when this kind of existence was desperate.

Not to mention that Lu Xuanji has been cultivating immortals in Yunzhou for thousands of years, and he is the best among them in the realm of the ninth layer of the Yuanying Alliance, which is not comparable to the nineth-layer monk of the "Six Dao Alliance".

Assuming that Lu Xuanji was still alive, even if he knew that after the death of the Immortal, the "Six Dao Alliance" would launch an offensive against the "Xuanqing Dao Alliance", he couldn't break the rules and take the initiative to pull the Yuan Ying Nine-Layer Monk of the "Six Dao Alliance" to accompany him to the funeral.

But if the "Six Dao Alliance" took the initiative to attack the "Xuanqing Dao Alliance" at such a time, he would have enough reason to pull people to accompany him to the funeral.

Of course, the "Six Dao Alliance" will not be so stupid, so as long as they do not get accurate information, they will not take this risk.

But this calm situation is destined to last long.

Zhou Yang knew that if it was ten years at most, or three or five years at least, the "Six Dao Alliance" would definitely send people to the door to test it impatiently.

At that time, if Lu Xuanji does not come out of the town, a big war involving the two super forces of the "Xuanqing Dao Alliance" and the "Six Dao Alliance" will be inevitable.

In this kind of war, there is actually no danger for a monk at the level of the Yuan Infant Stage.

Although the "Xuanqing Dao Alliance" and the "Six Dao Alliance" have also been enemies for many years, for tens of thousands of years, the Yuan Infant Stage monks on both sides who have fallen due to war have only added up to one palm.

The reason for this is because the purpose of the war between the two sides is very clear, expanding the territory and occupying more resource points, not necessarily to destroy the other party and dominate the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm.

In fact, that was unrealistic, because the other forces in the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm would never allow such a hegemon-level force to appear, unless that force had the strength to subdue all the forces in the entire Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm.

The "Six Dao Alliance" and the "Xuanqing Dao Alliance" obviously do not have the power to subdue the entire Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm, so in a war for territory and resources, if one side loses the battle, it will usually take the initiative to give up a part of its interests to shrink its strength.

And the other side, after gaining the benefits, will not push too much, so as not to continue to escalate the intensity of the war.

This mode of war for resources is completely different from the feud war between the two superpowers in the Far West.

The nature of war is different, and the scale and intensity of war will naturally not be the same.

The monks of the Yuan Infant period are high and have a lifespan of 3,000 years, how can they fight to the death with monks of the same level for the sake of the gains and losses of one country and one place?

As the saying goes: if you lose your land, you will lose both people and land, and if you lose your land, you will gain both people and land.

As long as this kind of thing is not destroyed, it will always be there, and if you lose it this time, you can grab it back next time.

Just like Anguo, where Chong Xuanshan is located, was originally owned by the "Six Dao Alliance", but was later taken away by the "Xuanqing Dao League", and now it is back in the hands of the "Six Dao League".

This kind of thing has happened many times in tens of thousands of years, and the top existence of the two super forces has become accustomed to it.

Therefore, as long as it is not the kind of battle for strategic points that one side has to defend and the other side is bound to win, the Yuan Infant Monk will definitely not fight to the death in the war.

If the Yuan Infant Monk does not end up and fights to the death, the Jindan Monk is the core and main force in the war.

Often, some important and not particularly important places in the war, such as Chongxuan Mountain, such as the fifth-order high-grade spiritual mountain, had to be fought for and defended with the lives of Jindan period monks.

The death of a dozen Jindan monks in each war is a normal thing for both sides.

Therefore, the pressure on Zhou Yang is very great, because his Chong Xuanshan will definitely become a front-line battlefield in this war and an important strategic point of contention.

"In the past three years of retreat as a teacher, what has happened to those people in the [Six Dao Alliance]? What is the current situation of those sects and families in Anglia?"

On Chongxuan Mountain, after leaving the customs, Zhou Yang called Wang Yanzhang, Li Qingyun, and Ren Fei, three registered disciples, to him for questioning.

Before he went into retreat, he told the three of them to privately contact some monks they had met when they were fighting in Anguo to find out the movements of various sects and families in Anguo.

If you want to attack Chongxuan Mountain, these sects and families in Anguo will definitely be the vanguard, and through the movements of these forces, Zhou Yang may be able to find out the time when the enemy will move in advance.

Of course, he would definitely not only believe the news of these registered disciples, if the "Six Dao Alliance" really wanted to launch an offensive, Qingyang Zhenren would definitely notify him as soon as possible.

He asked a few registered disciples to inquire about these news, but he didn't want to rely entirely on others to obtain information, and he wanted to have his own "ears" to hear the news from outside.

Hearing his words at this time, Wang Yanzhang glanced at the other two, and after seeing that these two people were reluctant to speak first, he arched his hand at Zhou Yang and said: "Master Yu, since I received your orders three years ago, the apprentice personally disguised himself and went to several places where he was active in the past to meet a few close friends, and with the treasures you gave him as a reward, he asked them to help him move around to collect news about the movements of various sects and families in Anguo. ”

"According to the information that has been transmitted back now, those sects and families in Anguo are indeed ready for mobilization for war, and the prices of healing elixirs and spirit runes in the immortal cities of various fang cities have generally risen by nearly thirty percent!"

The price of healing elixirs and spirit runes in Fang City's immortal city has risen, which is indeed a sign before the arrival of war.

Although each force usually stocks these things, if there is really a war, no one knows how much it will be consumed in the end, so it is a routine operation to purchase and hoard these war materials on a large scale before the war.

However, Zhou Yang did not make an arbitrary judgment because of this, but looked at Li Qingshan and Ren Fei and asked, "What about the two of you?"

"Master Zun, when the disciple was doing loose cultivation, he once had some friendship with a monk in the Yu family of Anguo, and this person has now successfully built a foundation, and the disciple used a third-order high-grade spirit talisman this time at the cost of a third-order high-grade spirit rune, and learned a piece of news from him, saying that the two Jindan sword cultivators of the Taiyi Immortal Sword Sect have arrived in Qingyun Valley, and this matter is said by the patriarch of their family himself, and there should be no falsehood. ”

Ren Fei arched his hand slightly, and whispered an important news he had found.

After he said this, Li Qingshan's face next to him suddenly changed, and he hurriedly lowered his head and confessed to Zhou Yang: "Master forgive me, the disciple was used to walking alone in the immortal cultivation realm, and this trip can be said to be nothing except for what Senior Brother Wang has already said." ”

"It doesn't matter if you don't gain anything, anyway, the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will cover it, and then you will practice the mountain, hone your fighting skills, and the war will come soon, and you must be mentally prepared at that time." ”

Zhou Yang shook his head, didn't blame Li Qingshan for anything, just waved his hand and asked a few people to retreat.

After a few registered disciples retreated, he said to himself: "Is this the main attack on the Taiyi Immortal Sword Gate?

The "Six Dao Alliance" now has five top sects and one top immortal cultivation family, and the "Taiyi Immortal Sword Gate" is one of the sects, and its strength is second only to the "Taiyuan Gate" where the current alliance leader is located in the alliance.

As a sword cultivation sect, the monks of the "Taiyi Immortal Sword Sect" are notoriously aggressive, not to mention their strength, at least they are much richer in fighting experience than most monks of the same level.

And these sword cultivators usually have one or two powerful killing moves, for example, when Zhou Yang participated in a death match in the extreme west, a Purple Mansion period sword cultivator of the "Taixuan Sword Sect" used a powerful sword move "Instant Sky Slash" that was not easy for even Jindan stage monks to master, and instantly killed a monk of the same level.

As far as Zhou Yang knows, the Jindan period sword cultivation of the "Taiyi Immortal Sword Gate" will basically master a life-fighting and killing move called "Taiyi Flying Immortal Sword Technique", and it is said that once this move comes out, few people in the same level can block it without injury.

"I don't know how about the dragon scale defense magic weapon that Tuo Qingyang's predecessors helped to refine, if I can practice it before the war, there is such a strong fifth-order high-grade defense magic weapon to protect my body, plus my own strong physical defense, when facing those sword cultivations, I will have to be much calmer!"

Zhou Yang rubbed his brows, he really felt the pressure.

The time to form a golden pill is too short, this is his hard injury.

Other Jindan stage cultivators may not have improved their cultivation as quickly as him, but they have plenty of time to practice all kinds of supernatural secret techniques, and as long as one of these supernatural secret techniques can cause him harm, it may threaten his life in war.

If you give yourself a few hundred years to cultivate the several important magical powers in your hands to the Xiaocheng realm, plus the various powerful magic weapons in your hands, Zhou Yang dares to pat his chest and guarantee that no one will be able to pose a threat to himself within the Jindan period.

It's a pity that there is no if in the world, and for his shortcomings, he can only try his best to make up for them without affecting his cultivation and improvement.

"Let's go and see Ying'er, if her natal weapon can be successfully refined, it will also be a good thing, at least if the war breaks out, even if I am injured, I can quickly return to normal through her treatment. ”

Xiao Ying's materials for refining the natal weapon are all complete, and what is lacking is only the refining technique.

She was originally a fourth-order high-grade alchemy master, although she didn't know the art of refining weapons before, but through a lot of practice in the past few years, coupled with the experience notes specially prepared for her by Zhou Yang, the art of refining weapons can be regarded as entering the hall and reaching the third order. OK

The reason why he hasn't started refining the natal weapon yet, is also because he wants to wait for Zhou Yang to personally check it for him after he leaves the customs, so that if there is any small omission when refining the weapon, she can also be instructed to remedy it in time.

At this time, after Zhou Yang saw her after leaving the customs, the two of them entered the refining room and directly started refining.

In less than half a month, Xiao Ying successfully refined the natal artifact "Rejuvenation Immortal Bottle".

This "Rejuvenation Immortal Bottle" magic weapon has just been refined, it is only a fourth-order high-grade, and it would have taken Xiao Ying to cultivate it for twenty or thirty years before it can be promoted to a fifth-order magic weapon, and it has begun to produce a treasure like "Rejuvenation Immortal Dew".

But Zhou Yang didn't have so much time to wait, so he chose a luxurious method, and directly asked Xiao Ying to extract all the remaining half of the fifth-order [Dryad Heart] essence into the magic weapon, and forcibly pushed it to the fifth-order.

The advantage of this is that because of the huge vitality power absorbed, the "Rejuvenation Immortal Bottle" quickly condensed three drops of "Rejuvenation Immortal Dew" after being promoted to the fifth rank.

Don't look at only three drops of "Rejuvenation Dew" and think it's nothing.

In fact, under normal circumstances, with Xiao Ying's current cultivation and the grade of the "Rejuvenation Immortal Bottle", it would take at least ten years to produce a drop of "Rejuvenation Immortal Dew".

If you want to speed up the production speed of "Rejuvenation Immortal Dew", it is not impossible, that is, use the magic weapon of "Rejuvenation Immortal Bottle" to absorb the vitality power of B wood contained in various high-level spirit trees, and after absorbing all the vitality power contained in a fourth-order spirit wood, you can refine a drop of "Rejuvenation Fairy Dew".

It's just that this kind of thing of killing chickens and taking eggs is usually not done by anyone, and it can only be done when there is an emergency, or when you encounter a high-level spirit tree that cannot be transplanted and taken away when you are traveling abroad, you can do this kind of thing.

"By the way, Ying'er, have you tested Sheng Yu's child's alchemy talent in the past few years?

In the cave mansion, after Zhou Yang waited for Xiao Ying's natal magic weapon to be refined, when the two were chatting, their hearts suddenly moved, and they asked about Xiao Ying's young genius disciple of the Zhou family.

Although he didn't care much about the affairs of the Zhou family, he was still sincerely happy that there was such a young genius in the family who was expected to be Jindan in the future.

If the Zhou family can produce a few Jindan stage monks, even if he is promoted to the Yuan Infant Stage in the future, he will immediately have his own cronies to call on, and it will be much more convenient to do many things.

Just think about it, Guo Jinhong was originally a sixth-level cultivator of the Yuan Infant Sect, and he had the disciples of the entire Haoyang Sect to drive, and he also had to use means to raise a group of Jindan monks outside to help him do things, so it can be seen that even if he was a Yuan Infant stage monk, he could not leave the organization and work alone.

However, what Zhou Yang didn't expect was that after Xiao Ying heard his words, she shook her head with a strange face and said: "This is also where the concubine body is puzzled, Sheng Yu's child's spiritual root qualification has nothing to say, but the alchemy talent can only be said to be mediocre, even if there are resources of the entire Zhou family for him to consume, the concubine body estimates that he will eventually be able to raise the alchemy to the fourth order and the lower grade!"

In fact, she still has reservations.

According to her experience, with Zhou Shengyu's alchemy talent, if the Zhou family did not provide him with alchemy resources regardless of loss, the chances of becoming a third-order alchemist were not great.

And even if she teaches with all her might, and the Zhou family provides resources to help regardless of loss, there is still a huge uncertainty about whether Zhou Shengyu can become a fourth-order alchemist in the future.

Although Zhou Yang didn't know this, Xiao Ying's words made him realize something, and his face suddenly became a little ugly.

"Husband, your face seems to be a little ugly, did the concubine say something wrong?"

Xiao Ying looked at him cautiously, and her voice was very soft.

"No, it's not your problem, it's Guangxiang's problem, this kid is playing with me!"

Zhou Yang shook his head slightly, his tone was quite annoyed.

"No, Guangxiang, hasn't he always been respectful to you, how could he do such a thing?"

Xiao Ying looked at him with her eyes wide open slightly, her face full of disbelief.

She has also been in the Zhou family for hundreds of years, and she knows very well Zhou Yang's status in the hearts of the Zhou family monks, and she knows very well how much Zhou Guangxiang, the patriarch of the Zhou family, admires Zhou Yang.

Therefore, even if Zhou Yang said this in person, she was a little hard to believe that it was true for a while.

"Hmph, if it weren't for what you just said about Sheng Yu's alchemy talent, the husband wouldn't have figured this out, and if he had figured out this for the husband in the future, his calculation would have been successful a long time ago, and even if the husband would punish him, it would be just painless for him!"

Zhou Yang snorted coldly in his mouth, his tone was very displeased, obviously his anger was still unresolved.

Seeing this, Xiao Ying's small mouth opened, and finally she couldn't hold back her curiosity, so she couldn't help but ask softly, "What does this have to do with Sheng Yu's alchemy talent in general?"

"Sheng Yu is a high-grade spiritual root qualification, right? If he doesn't learn alchemy, with his talent, and concentrates on cultivation, if the Zhou family provides him with sufficient cultivation resources, he can open up the Purple Mansion in more than 100 years at most, and he is so young, you say that Guangxiang will not be the patriarch of the Zhou family at that time, who is the most suitable patriarch position?"

"And I also told you last time that Guangxiang has consciously cultivated his son Tongxuan for a long time, and wants Tongxuan to succeed him in the Zhou family in the future. ”

"Then the question is, with Sheng Yu's spiritual root qualifications, if he has been practicing within the family, it is not impossible to catch up with Tongxuan later, if he wants to be the head of the Zhou family at that time, do you say that Tongxuan's position as the young patriarch can still be as stable as it is now?"

"Let's be realistic for my husband, from a realistic point of view, the other foundation-building monks of the Zhou family who have ideas and ambitions will definitely prefer to let Zhou Shengyu, who is not deeply rooted, be the patriarch than let Zhou Tongxuanzi inherit his father's position and choose a strong boss for himself!"

"And the ancestor of the family, when the time comes, there will be an excellent descendant like Sheng Yu to choose from, and out of consideration for the balance of power in the family, he may not be willing to let Tongxuan inherit the position of patriarch. ”

"But now, in the name of cultivating outstanding juniors, he sent Sheng Yu to us, and asked Sheng Yu to follow you to practice and learn alchemy, which seems to be very good to Sheng Yu himself at first glance, but in fact, it completely isolates the connection between Sheng Yu and those fellow clans of the Zhou family. ”

"A hundred years later, even if Sheng Yu succeeds in opening up the Purple Mansion, alchemy has achieved nothing, and he wants to return to the Zhou family to compete for the position of patriarch, which monk of the Zhou family is willing to support such a stranger who has not practiced in the clan before to be the patriarch?

"Even if you think about it deeply, Sheng Yu's alchemy talent is not good, but we have high hopes for him and give him countless resources to cultivate, when we find out about this situation later, will we be disappointed in him because of too much investment?"

Zhou Yang angrily explained the stakes to the Taoist, with an indescribable anger on his face.

In his opinion, Zhou Guangxiang's move can be described as sinister, completely using power for personal gain, using his trust to calculate him, an elder, and using the power of the patriarch to calculate Zhou Shengyu, a junior, which is very bad in nature!

"Husband, you dissipate your anger, Guangxiang sent Sheng Yu over, maybe as you said earlier, it is to ensure that Tongxuan can smoothly become the next patriarch of the Zhou family, but the conjecture you said at the end must be too much. ”

"The concubine body is a fourth-order high-grade alchemist, what is Sheng Yu's alchemy talent, the concubine body only needs to see him alchemy a few times, and then she will inevitably tell her husband about the situation, so how can we invest resources in him to learn alchemy regardless of the loss?"

"Guangxiang's kid is also a smart person, he definitely wouldn't have thought of this, so he should just want to use the reason of learning alchemy to bring Sheng Yu out of the boundless sand sea to cultivate immortals!"

Xiao Ying hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Yang's hand, comforting him softly, afraid that he would really do something that he would regret in the future if he was angry.

"Ying'er, what you said is not unreasonable, in the end, it may indeed be that you think too much for your husband. ”

Zhou Yang's face softened slightly, and his anger was slightly reduced, after all, the nature of this point in the end was too bad, if it was true, then he might really want to stage a "tearful and slashing" thing in the future, and personally abolish this junior who he valued the most in the past.

"But even if this is the case, it is also a fact that he used his power for personal gain, do you want to let him understand that the Zhou family does not have the final say in everything as the patriarch, and he will personally smash his scheme!"

Zhou Yang looked at the Taoist companion with a warm and angry face, and a look of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and it was difficult to make up his mind.

The two have been married for hundreds of years, how Xiao Ying doesn't know what kind of character Zhou Yang is, and it can make it so difficult for Zhou Yang to make up his mind, which obviously shows that there is actually room for redemption in this matter.

Otherwise, with Zhou Yang's character, he would have made a decision arbitrarily a long time ago.

Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, she shook her head lightly and said: "The concubine thinks that there is no need for her husband to do this, anyway, whoever is the patriarch of the Zhou family, the ancestor of your family has the right to abolish it directly, if Zhou Tongxuan becomes the head of the Zhou family in the future, and he is not worthy of the position, you can also abolish him, why bother to ruin the relationship between uncle and nephew for many years because of this incident, making it difficult for Guangxiang and Guangxiang to be people in the family?"

"Guangxiang did something wrong this time, but let's think about it carefully, as a father, it is not wrong for him to prepare a good future for his son within the scope of his power and responsibility, after all, he did not really harm any clansmen because of this, otherwise we only need to pretend to miss a little when crossing the Broken Cloud Mountain Range, we will not be able to see Sheng Yu!"

And he sent Sheng Yu to us to practice, in addition to stifling Sheng Yu's possibility of competing for the head of the Zhou family in the future, in fact, it is a good thing for Sheng Yu's future path, at least to practice by our side, Sheng Yu is much higher than the ordinary Zhou family from the starting point. ”

"Now it seems that he specially asked the concubine to accept Sheng Yu as a disciple, I am afraid that it is false to let the concubine teach Sheng Yu alchemy, so as to compensate Sheng Yu is true!"

"In the world, who is selfless? Husband, don't you often say that you want to have a son with your concubine and go back to the Zhou family to inherit the position of the patriarch of the Zhou family? Why can you, the abdicated patriarch, have this kind of thought, and Guangxiang, the reigning patriarch, can't think like this?"

"When it comes to his contribution to the Zhou family, Guangxiang is far inferior to you, but he has made great contributions to the Zhou family over the years, and this credit is unmatched by no one except you, and his son Tongxuan is not the kind of waste who can't be supported at all, he wants his son to take over the position of his patriarch, isn't it human nature?"

After Zhou Yang heard the words of the Taoist couple, he couldn't help but ponder.

After a long while, he sighed softly: "Hey, maybe Ying'er is right, my husband was indeed a little angry just now, and I felt that Guangxiang had betrayed me, so I was so angry that I wanted to punish him severely!"

"Think about it carefully, this matter Guangxiang did not make any big mistakes except for a small abuse of power for personal gain, if the husband cuts off his son's future because of this, then it is really a family enmity!"

After speaking, his face froze again, and he said in a deep voice: "Let's put this matter aside first, and after the threat from the [Six Dao Alliance] side has passed, Weifu will personally go back to the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Immortal Realm to relieve him of the position of patriarch, let his son Tongxuan succeed him, and then take him to Liuyun Continent to cultivate the Immortal Realm, and if he doesn't become a golden pill, he will not be allowed to return to the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Immortal Realm!"

When Xiao Ying heard what he said, she immediately nodded again and again: "This is the best, in this way, Guangxiang has been punished for using his power for personal gain, which has played a role in warning future generations;
