Immortal cultivators do not have as many mundane rituals as mortals, even if it is an immortal cultivator like the Zhou family, when the great elder Zhou Qian dies, he only summons all the family monks in the Yuquan Lake oasis to the ancestral hall to keep his soul for three days, and then the old patriarch Zhou Minghan personally cremated the body of the old man Zhou Qian with the real fire of building the foundation, and buried the ashes in the family cemetery.

Cremating the body of the family monk after his death is the helplessness of the little Xiuxian family.

Because the Xiao Xiu Immortal Family did not have enough strength to protect the family cemetery, it was impossible to prevent those demon cultivators who had cultivated the Demon Dao Corpse Refining Spell from coming over to steal the corpses of the family ancestors and refine them into zombies.

Once the corpses of the ancestors of the family are transformed into zombies by demon cultivation, it is not only a great desecration of the corpses of the ancestors, but also the lives of the family monks and mortals under the rule of the family.

This is because newly refined zombies require a lot of blood food for them to grow, and it is even better to feed zombies with people of the same bloodline as zombies.

Therefore, if someone in the family dies, they will cremate their bodies and bury them, so as not to be used by demon cultivators.

Only a large sect or big family like Huangshamen, which has a Jindan ancestor or even a great monk in the Yuan Infant Period, will bury the body in the cemetery after the high-ranking monk of the sect or family dies, and take special care of it with a magic circle and a special person.

After dealing with the funeral of the Great Elder Zhou Qian, Zhou Yang was summoned by the old patriarch Zhou Minghan to enter the Cave Mansion on the top of the mountain for questioning alone.

"You also know the reason for your grandfather's death, the family is about to dispatch people to clean up the demon beasts on the Red Flame Iron Ore Vein, you have just broken through to the seventh layer of Qi training, and it is the future foundation building hope of our Zhou family, the old man can make the decision to let you not participate in this matter, what do you think?"

"Please great-grandfather don't do that!"

Zhou Yang's face changed, and he bowed deeply to the old patriarch, then raised his head and said loudly: "The Red Flame Iron Vein was discovered by Sun Er, and he will give Sun Son a dividend in the future, if Sun Son does not participate in the war and enjoys the success, how can he convince other clansmen? How to reflect the fairness and justice of family rules?"

"Although my grandson is not talented, he is also willing to use what he has learned all his life to contribute to the expansion of my Zhou family!"

In the end, Zhou Yang couldn't help but take out a [Armor-Piercing Dagger] magic weapon from his waist and held it in his hand, as if he wanted to prove his determination with this.

Seeing his impassioned appearance, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan felt relieved and amused.

"Okay, okay, the old man knows your determination, put away the magic weapon first, and then count you as a head!"

The old man smiled and waved his hand, he really appreciated Zhou Yang's courage to use a knife in front of him.

It is a great courage for a Qi cultivation period monk to dare to move his sword in front of a foundation building period monk, no matter what the reason is.

Moreover, this incident also proves Zhou Yang's loyalty to the Zhou family, if he didn't really identify with the family, how could he say such impassioned words just now?

It's not in vain that I hurt this kid!

The old man sighed with relief in his heart, his face softened a lot, and his gaze at Zhou Yang was full of love as if he were looking at his own grandson.

"Since Xiao Jiu, you have this determination, the old man will tell you again, about ten years later, not more than fifteen years at most, the ancestor of the Chen family in Jinshafang City will organize people to plan the refining of Zhuji Dan, our Zhou family and the Chen family are allied, and at that time, as long as a monk in the foundation building period participates in this matter, he can get the bidding right of Zhuji Dan. ”

"Once the family obtains the Tsukidan in the auction, it will definitely be taken immediately, so Xiao Jiu, you must work hard to cultivate to the ninth level of Qi cultivation in the next ten years, otherwise this opportunity will be missed in vain!"

The old patriarch looked at Zhou Yang with a loving face, and slowly said this secret matter in a solemn tone that was enough to cause the entire Zhou family monks to shake.

And Zhou Yang, who listened to the words of the old patriarch, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his breathing instantly became heavy.

That's "Tsukidan"!

Over the years of practice, Zhou Yang has never been particularly interested in a certain spiritual object, but only the spiritual object of "Zhuji Dan" is something he is particularly concerned about and is determined to obtain.

In terms of grade, the "Zhuji Dan" is only a third-order lower-grade spirit pill, but its attraction to the majority of Qi cultivation stage cultivators is not comparable to the fifth-order pill.

"Tsukidan" is rare, this is a well-known thing.

To refine a furnace of "Zhuji Dan", not only does the main medicine need to use a rare fourth-order elixir [Ning Yuan Fruit] or a fourth-order demon beast demon pill, but also thirty-six extremely rare third-order elixirs as auxiliary medicines, and the combined value of these elixirs is greater than the value of the elixir required to refine a furnace of fourth-order elixir.

Even a sect like Huangshamen, which has been inherited for thousands of years and has the Jindan Ancestor in charge, can only refine one furnace of "Zhuji Dan" every ten years, and the number of pills that are baked each time is only five to seven.

With such a small number, there are not enough people in Huangshamen's own sect, let alone a small cultivator family like the Zhou family who is attached to Huangshamen.

Therefore, if a small immortal cultivator family like the Zhou family wants to obtain the Zhuji Dan, they must either exchange it for a main medicine for refining the Zhuji Dan, or cooperate with other immortal cultivation families to refine the pill.

The Chen family in the mouth of the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, Zhou Yang has also heard of it since he was a child, the Chen family is a family of immortal cultivators that has been inherited for more than 700 years, and the ancestor of the contemporary Chen family is not only a master of the late stage of the Purple Mansion, but also a fourth-order middle-grade alchemist.

As a monk born in a non-sect, even if the ancestor of the Chen family was a master of the Purple Mansion Period, it was impossible for him to obtain the "Zhuji Dan" from Huangshamen and give it to the descendants of the family.

Therefore, after the ancestor of the Chen family advanced to the Purple Mansion period, a "foundation building conference" would be organized every thirty or fifty years, and the invited immortal family or scattered cultivation foundation building masters, as long as they were willing to team up with the ancestor of the Chen family to hunt the fourth-order demon beasts in the boundless sand sea to obtain the fourth-order demon pill, they could obtain the right to bid for the purchase of the "Zhuji Dan" after refining the "Zhuji Dan".

That's how the "Tsukidan" that the Zhou family bought more than 60 years ago came about.

At that time, in order to buy the "Zhuji Dan", not only emptied the Zhou family's savings, but also made the second foundation-building monk of the Zhou family after Zhou Yuquan's ancestor, Zhou Jian's ancestor of the "Hua" generation, seriously injured, and his longevity was greatly reduced, and his lifespan was less than two hundred years old.

And that Zhou Jian ancestor is the grandfather of Zhou Qian, the great elder of the Zhou family, who passed away a few days ago.

Now that he learned from the old patriarch Zhou Minghan that the Zhou family was preparing to participate in the "Foundation Building Conference", Zhou Yang was excited and excited at the same time, but he couldn't help but show a trace of worry.

He was not worried that he only had more than ten years to prepare, but that the old patriarch Zhou Minghan was worried about participating in the "Foundation Building Conference".

Although the old patriarch Zhou Minghan was already a late-stage foundation building monk at the seventh level of foundation building, and he was still a third-order high-grade refiner, when facing a fourth-order demon beast whose strength was equivalent to that of a Purple Mansion stage monk, this strength was not enough at all, as long as the fourth-order demon beast hit with all his strength, it could make the old patriarch fall.

As the only existing foundation building monk of the Zhou family, once the old patriarch Zhou Minghan is seriously injured or falls, it will be a great bad news for the entire Zhou family, and it is likely to lead to the destruction of the Zhou family.

At that time, Zhou Yang will succeed in building the foundation of the Dan, and he will not be able to feel at ease in this life.

Therefore, he thought about it again and again, and finally couldn't help but ask out loud: "Great-grandfather, grandson once heard that crossing the 40,000-li sand sea in the east and crossing the Broken Cloud Mountain Range high into the clouds, you can reach the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm, where the immortal cultivation resources are abundant, and even the Zhuji Dan can be bought in Fang City with spirit stones, why don't we go there to buy the Zhuji Dan, and you have to take the risk of hunting the fourth-order demon beasts like you?"

Regarding the matter of Liuyun Continent's immortal cultivation realm, Zhou Yang accidentally learned about it from a refiner's notes when he was reading those refining classics in the past few years.

Later, he asked the old man Zhou Quan, but even the old man Zhou Quan, who had lived for more than a hundred years, only knew that there was the name of the place where Liuyun Continent cultivated immortals, and the specific situation was not as much as he knew.

Originally, when he returned to the family this time, he also wanted to ask the old patriarch Zhou Minghan about this matter, but unfortunately he went into retreat after he came back, but he forgot about it for the time being, and now he heard the old patriarch talk about "Tsukidan", and he remembered it again.

And the situation was just as he expected, as a monk and the head of the clan in the foundation building period, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan really knew a lot about the things in the immortal cultivation realm of Liuyun Continent.

"It's rare Xiao Jiu that you also know the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm, but it's a pity that you only know the prosperity of the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm, but you don't know how many dangerous places you have to pass through from us to the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm!"

"Not to mention how many powerful demon beasts and robbing sand bandits are hidden in the 40,000 miles of sand sea, even in the Broken Cloud Mountain Range, all kinds of third-order and fourth-order demon beasts are also common, and it is rumored that there are sixth-order demon beasts comparable to the great cultivators of the Yuan Infant Stage in the depths of the mountain range!"

"If you don't have the cultivation of the Purple Mansion Period, you go over the Broken Cloud Mountain Range, it's a complete gamble, a bet on whether you will be discovered by the demon beast and become the ration of the demon beast!"

"In the end, even if you were really lucky enough to cross the Broken Cloud Mountain Range and rush to the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm, and buy the Zhuji Dan, do you think that a foreign Foundation Building Period monk with this kind of treasure can still return to the extreme west safely?"

Zhou Yang was speechless for a moment.

The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty!

The old patriarch was right, the spiritual object of "Zhuji Dan" was too precious, so precious that even if a monk in the foundation building period carried it on his body, it would easily attract death.

If a small family like the Zhou family gets this kind of treasure, they will generally let the ninth-level Qi cultivation cultivators in the clan take it immediately, otherwise the news will be known to outsiders, and it is likely to cause the disaster of extermination.

That's why the old patriarch told him before that he must cultivate to the ninth level of Qi cultivation before the "Foundation Building Conference" more than ten years later, otherwise the family will get the "Foundation Building Dan" by then, and he will definitely not have his share.

"Grandson understands, please rest assured great-grandfather, grandson will definitely cultivate to the ninth level of Qi cultivation before the [Foundation Building Conference], and he will definitely not let you and your family's efforts be in vain!"

He pursed his lips, and his eyes looked firmly at the old patriarch who had made a military order.
