The bumps caused by chasing the [Gold Eating Rat] all the way when he came almost left Zhou Yang with a psychological shadow, so when he returned, under his repeated requests, the old man Zhou Quan could only slow down and accompany him to return slowly, and it took almost two days to return to the Qingping Mountain Oasis.

At this time, the Qingping Mountain Oasis was already in chaos, because the [Gold Eater Rat] killed twenty or thirty miners, and Zhou Yang, the resident monk, disappeared again, and Zhou Bao, a temporary replacement who was not officially appointed by any family, could not control the field at all, and could not appease the surviving miners who were frightened.

In the end, he could only stay on Qingping Mountain, watching those miners mess around in the camp and vent the fear and anger in his heart, there was no way at all.

When Zhou Yang and Old Man Zhou Quan came back and saw this situation, they were really angry and funny, and they were speechless for a while.

There was no way, Zhou Yang could only come forward to clean up the mess in person.

While Zhou Yang was cleaning up the mess, the old man Zhou Quan was already so angry that he rushed into Qingping Mountain, and slapped Zhou Bao who came up with a face full of joy.

"What a waste, you are also a fourth-level Qi cultivator, just a few mortals, just let you be helpless to hide in the formation and stare dryly, what is the magic weapon in your hand for?

The old man looked at his grandson with a face full of grievances, and the saliva in his mouth sprayed directly all over Zhou Bao's face, and he was simply angry.

But Zhou Bao, an honest and wooden guy, was still a dead eye, and when he heard the old man's admonition, he also defended with a face full of grievances: "Grandpa, you are wrong to blame me, the family has rules that strictly prohibit monks from harming the mortals of the family, and I can't kill those people if they don't listen to me, right?"

When the old man heard what he said, his anger went straight up, and he couldn't help but slap his grandson on the other side of his face, and scolded angrily: "Kill, kill, do you dare to kill people with that timid nature?" You open the old man's eyes to see how Xiao Jiu solves the problem? In addition to being a handful of age, what else can you, the second brother, catch up with?"

I'm not as good as the ninth brother!

Zhou Bao thought of it aggrieved in his heart, but he didn't dare to talk back anymore, and obediently used the "Heavenly Eye Technique" to look at the miners' camp outside the mountain to see how Zhou Yang dealt with those miners.

Zhou Yang's method of cleaning up those miners was very simple, he directly sacrificed the "Red Flame Sword" and turned it into a sword light to drive those miners to an open place, and then threw the corpse of the [Gold Eater Rat] in front of these miners.

"See? This is the man-eating monster, and now it's dead!"

"I know you're afraid, afraid of being eaten by demon beasts, but fear is not a reason for you to wantonly destroy your family's property!"

"Now I give you a chance, pack up the camp for me immediately, and honestly wait for the family's follow-up arrangements for you, otherwise I will truthfully report what you have done in the past two days to the family, and suggest that the family strip you of your surname and expel you and your wives and children!"

A first-order spell with the effect of concentrating and awakening the mind, "Qingyin Technique", made Zhou Yang's cold voice clearly reach the ears of every miner, reaching the depths of their minds.

Under the effect of the "Qingyin Technique", the miners' minds were unprecedentedly clear, and the family rules that they had memorized since childhood quickly emerged in their sober brains, and then they all broke out in a cold sweat, looking at the young immortal master standing next to the corpse of the demon beast with horror and fear on their faces.

Although the rules of the Zhou family strictly prohibit the family monks from killing the family mortals, they are not allowed to destroy the family's spiritual resources.

Deprived of their surnames, they are no longer members of the Zhou family, and they are not protected by the monks of the Zhou family, and killing them with a sword by the monks of the Zhou family is not a violation of family rules.

And if the whole family is banished, there is not enough food and water in the vast sea of sand, and it will kill the whole family in less than three days!

"Spare your life, Lord Immortal Master, spare your life!"

"We were wrong, we know we were wrong, Master Immortal, you are gracious, just spare us this time, we don't dare anymore!"

"I have wronged you, Lord Immortal, I have been in the barracks for the past two days, and I have not participated in the destruction of the camp at all, Lord Immortal, your eyes are like torches, I am really wronged!"

In an instant, the miners who wanted to understand the consequences of the incident all fell to their knees and fell to the ground desperately kowtowing and begging for mercy, without a trace of the madness of the outlaws before.

On Qingping Mountain, Zhou Bao stared at this scene with wide eyes, directly looking stupid.

Seeing this, the old man Zhou Quan took the opportunity to educate his grandson and said, "Do you see it? Now do you know how stupid what you said before? When dealing with a group of mortals, you have to fight and kill, what is the difference between that and the sand bandits? Why do you think the family doesn't teach other spells, but wants you to learn those first-order spells that don't seem to be helpful to the cultivation of fighting methods since you were a child?"

Zhou Bao was speechless, although he was dead-eyed, he was not really a fool, the facts were in front of him, and he could no longer deny and justify.

"Study hard, you are not too young, you have to use more brains in the future, if you encounter something that is not good to decide, remember to ask Xiao Jiu more, listen to his opinion before making a decision!"

After all, it was his own grandson, and the old man couldn't bear to beat and scold again, so he could only sigh and focus on persuasion, hoping to make him change.

At this time, Zhou Yang waited for the miners' heads to break and their heads were covered with blood before agreeing to forgive them for their mistakes this time, and then waved them away and let them clean up the messy oasis camp, while he put away the [gold-eating rat] corpse on the ground and returned to Qingping Mountain.

"A good grace and power, first threaten and intimidate its courage with clan rules, and then give grace to calm its heart, Xiao Jiu, you understand this truth at a young age, and in the future, the family will be handed over to you, I believe you will do better than our old guys!"

In front of his own grandson, the old man Zhou Quan also did not shy away from bluntly saying that he was optimistic about Zhou Yang as the next patriarch, and after Zhou Bao heard it, he was not jealous at all.

The position of the patriarch of the family is the one who can live in it, although Zhou Bao is a little naïve, but he still has self-knowledge, there are 15 people in the Zhou family's "Yuan" generation, even if his Zhou Bao's talent is not at the bottom, it is also the last few, and it will not be his turn to be the patriarch.

"Third Grandpa, although these mortal miners have been appeased for the time being, if you want them to mine again, it is estimated that there is no hope in a short time, so I have to ask you to report the situation to the old patriarch after returning to the family, and ask the family to recruit a new batch of miners to replace them. ”

Zhou Yang glanced at Zhou Bao, who was silent next to him and his cheeks were red, and the smart one didn't ask anything, and directly told the old man Zhou Quan his request.

"Don't worry about this, the old man will definitely help you get this done when he goes back. ”

The old man bowed slightly, and it was easy to respond to Zhou Yang's request.

After resting for another day in Qingping Mountain like this, the old man Zhou Quan and Zhou Bao, the two grandsons, rode on the sand beast and returned to the family under Zhou Yang's eyes.

After sending away Zhou Quan's grandfather and grandson, Zhou Yang finally had time to deal with the harvest of going out this time.

He first peeled the skin and bones of the corpse of the [Gold Eating Rat], and processed and preserved all the mouse skins, rat teeth, rat claws, rat bones, and rat eyes that could be refined, and the rat meat was mixed with [Golden Bead Rice] to make spiritual food to improve the diet.

Then he set up a red copper ding furnace that he refined, threw the mouse feces the size of grapes into the ding furnace, added spring water, added charcoals, and slowly boiled it.

After boiling all the thousands of rat droppings in this way, Zhou Yang got dozens of catties of metal sand.

These dozens of catties of metal sand grains are not the special spirit gold that Zhou Yang wants, and further extraction is needed, but the next extraction will test the refiner's skills.

In order to extract the special spiritual gold in these metal sand grains, Zhou Yang changed into the first-order high-grade magic weapon Ding Furnace used for his refining, and took out dozens of palm-sized pieces of fiery red wood charcoal and stuffed them under the Ding Furnace, and used spells to ignite it.

This kind of fiery red charcoal is made from a spirit wood called [Burning Sun Wood], and ten pieces of palm-sized charcoal are worth a low-grade spirit stone, which is extremely precious.

[Flame Sun Wood] is a second-order spirit wood that only grows near active volcanoes and earth-fire magma, and the flame produced by igniting it is white, comparable to the true fire mastered by a monk in the foundation building period.

Usually, when refining some materials that require high temperature, if there is no earth fire available, the alchemist or refiner in the Qi cultivation period will burn the charcoal fired by the [Burning Sun Wood] to increase the temperature of the flame.

These [Yanyang Wood] in Zhou Yang's hand were still the last time he asked his clan brother Zhou Qi to return to the family with the first-order magic weapon he had refined, and the old patriarch Zhou Minghan specially took them out of the family treasury and asked Old Man Zhou Quan to bring them to him in order to let him reach the second-order refiner as soon as possible.

At this time, as dozens of pieces of [Flame Sun Wood] were ignited together, a scorching incandescent flame suddenly rose under the vessel, and the temperature of this incandescent flame was extremely high, even a monk like Zhou Yang with mana had stayed by the stove for a long time, and he was also sweating profusely, and he couldn't stop sweating.

However, at this time, Zhou Yang had no time to do such a trivial thing as wiping sweat, and his divine sense was released into the vessel, and he could clearly see that the metal sand particles inside were slowly melting, and his job was to constantly play the refining method to shave out the impurities in the metal solution, and finally only leave the special spirit gold he needed.

This kind of work extremely tests the refiner's eyesight and timing control ability, and also consumes divine sense and mana extremely much, with Zhou Yang's cultivation of the sixth layer of Qi training, he only lasted for less than half an hour, and then he felt dizzy and weak, and had to extinguish the furnace fire to suspend the extraction.

After spending several days like this, and after several extractions, Zhou Yang finally extracted the special spirit gold from all the metal sand grains, and finally harvested a palm-sized piece of dark golden spirit gold.

This palm-sized piece of dark golden spiritual gold is not much different in weight from refined iron, but its hardness is higher than that of second-order spiritual gold and dark iron, if you want to talk about the grade, it is at least a third-order spiritual object.

This is the first time that Zhou Yang has obtained this level of spiritual object, and it is also from his own hands, and for a while, he was quite fond of taking it in his hand and playing with it left and right, his face was full of joy.
