Obviously, Chen Ping'an and Yan Nantian's worries became a reality.

Although the juniors of the two of them also successfully defeated their opponents in the top five in the ten, they both suffered some minor injuries while defeating their opponents.

Then when they were competing for the first place, whether it was Chen Yunsheng of the Chen family or Yan Shuanghua of the Yan family, they were all defeated by Li Hong's men one after another.

After the top three rankings were finalized, Li Hong won the first place, Yan Shuanghua was second, and Chen Yunsheng was third.

Since then, the first "Treasure Hunting Conference" held by the Zhou family has officially come to an end.

"First of all, congratulations to Daoyou Li for winning the first place in this treasure hunting conference, and at the same time, there is good news to tell Daoyou is that before, Zhou Yang, the elder of the Zhou family, bet with several other Daoists in the Purple Mansion Period, optimistic that Daoyou will win the first, and now Daoyou really lives up to the expectations of Elder Taishang and wins the first place, in addition to the reward that Daoyou should get, you can also get four more third-order treasures as rewards!"

On the martial arts field, Zhou Guangxiang, the patriarch of the Zhou family, was personally awarding awards to the top 20 monks who won the "Treasure Hunting Conference" on behalf of the Zhou family.

And when he began to award rewards from the twentieth place, and finally awarded the first place reward, he told the first winner Li Hong with a smile on his face about the previous bet.

Hearing that in addition to the Zhuji Dan and third-order magic weapon rewards that he deserved, he could also obtain four more third-order treasures, Li Hong, who could have forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and did not show any different colors, suddenly couldn't help but show a look of surprise and ecstasy in his eyes.

He is also a smart person, when he hurriedly turned around and bowed in the direction of the stand where Zhou Yang and the others were, and said: "No, junior Li Hong, thank you for the grace of your predecessors, thank you for your treasure!"

Seeing this, Zhou Guangxiang nodded with satisfaction, and then secretly said: "Elder Taishang still has something to tell you, if you are willing to join my Zhou family and vow never to betray, even if you use this Zhuji Dan unsuccessfully, my Zhou family can also give you another Zhuji Dan to help you build the foundation!"

What the!

Li Hong was shocked, and looked at Zhou Guangxiang in shock, almost suspecting that he had heard it wrong.

"You can think about it, this promise will be valid until you leave the Red Tiger Mountain Oasis!"

Zhou Guangxiang bowed his head with a smile in his eyes, and didn't say anything more, and directly handed over a storage bag to Li Hong.

Next, Zhou Guangxiang didn't look at Li Hong, who walked off the competition with a preoccupied look, and directly announced the start of the second "treasure hunting conference" within the Zhou family.

There are more than 900 monks in the Zhou family, and there are four or five hundred people who meet the requirements of the "Treasure Hunting Conference", but it is a pity that there are only more than 270 monks in the middle and late stages of Qi cultivation who can really go to the first battle.

Therefore, this second "Treasure Hunt" does not need to go on as long as the first one, and one day is enough to get results.

Of course, there are fewer people and fewer people, and in terms of momentum, the fighting method between the monks of the Zhou family is much more exciting than the first one before.

Thanks to the heritage of the Zhou family's refining family, as long as the monks of the Zhou family's own clan are above the middle stage of Qi cultivation, they can take out more than two second-order high-grade magic weapons in their hands.

Some monks who were willing to invest their capital, in the past few years, have endured the pain of exchanging the family contribution points they have accumulated with great difficulty for a large killing weapon such as a second-order high-grade puppet beast from the family treasury, as well as some other second-order high-grade spirit runes.

Therefore, after the actual battle, the combat effectiveness shown by these monks was much stronger than that of those monks in the last battle.

However, in this "treasure hunting conference" within the family, the people who really performed eye-catching were the monks of the Zhou family's battle hall.

The battle hall of the Zhou family gathers the most capable group of monks in the entire Zhou family, although the number of them is less than a hundred so far, but every time they pull out, they have the power to easily defeat ordinary monks of the same level.

Not to mention anything else, in the previous "Treasure Hunting Conference", two of them were relatives and monks in the Zhou Family War Hall, and among the top sixty, five of them came out of the Zhou Family War Hall.

This is also because the "Treasure Hunting Conference" has an age limit for participants, and most of the relatives and monks in the Zhou Family War Hall are over sixty years old, otherwise there must be more who can get the ranking.

These battle hall monks, usually all kinds of cultivation resources are given priority, and they are dedicated to cultivating the art of fighting and fighting, not to mention that everyone has a good spell, and the ability of the envoy of the magic weapon is not comparable to that of ordinary monks.

Even if they were fellow Zhou family monks, after they appeared, their opponents were basically defeated without much resistance.

Naturally, the dazzling performance of these monks also aroused the great curiosity and attention of those monks who were watching the battle from the outside world.

"I've heard the name of the Zhou family's war hall monk for a long time, and when I see it today, it's really worthy of the name!"

On the high platform where the Purple Mansion monks were located, Chen Ping'an looked at the two fighting monks on the stage with blazing eyes, to be precise, looking at the monk wearing a full set of golden battle armor, battle helmets, and combat boots, his face was full of surprise and exclamation.

The Zhou family has developed from a foundation building family to the first family in the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm in just one hundred years, and of course the other families will inevitably study the reasons for the rapid development of the Zhou family to see if they can find out what is beneficial to their family and follow suit.

Regarding the role of the nine halls of the Zhou family, it is naturally known to the patriarchs of various families for a long time, and even many families have followed suit, and relevant reforms have also been carried out.

The Chen family, as the main family that the Zhou family once depended on, naturally paid more attention to the Zhou family, and was also the first family to emulate the Zhou family.

However, the family situation is different, Chen Ping'an did not completely copy the Zhou family, but only borrowed from the Zhou family's seven deacons and elders to subdivide the internal power structure of the family, and then increased the subsidy for the clansmen to learn to cultivate immortals.

In Chen Ping'an's opinion, there is no need to spend resources to imitate and build such an armed force of monks as the War Hall, which exists specifically for war.

Large-scale wars between monks rarely occur in the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm, and the existence of a monk army, even the Yellow Sand Sect is not willing to spend resources to form it.

It is only under the rapid expansion that the insecure Zhou family is willing to spend huge resources to build this kind of unproductive monk army.

And limited by knowledge, even a Purple Mansion Stage monk like Chen Ping'an didn't think that a group of Qi cultivation period monks could defeat the foundation building monk by uniting and training together.

In his and most of the patriarchs of the Immortal Cultivation Family, instead of spending a lot of resources to cultivate an army of monks, it was better to concentrate resources on cultivating a few more foundation building monks.

At least the foundation building monks are far better than a group of Qi cultivation period monks who are not foundation building in terms of longevity or strength and influence.

However, thinking like this and doing this, but after really seeing the combat effectiveness of the Zhou family battle hall monks in the martial arts arena, Chen Ping'an was still envious in his heart.

He still didn't think that a group of Qi cultivation stage cultivators could fight against the foundation building cultivators.

But he had to admit that without the foundation building monks and the Purple Mansion monks not doing anything, the Zhou family, the battle hall cultivators who had cultivated with a lot of resources, did have the strength to sweep away most of their Chen family's Qi cultivation period cultivators.

From this point of view, their Chen family is really lagging behind the Zhou family in all aspects, which makes him really uncomfortable in his heart.

"These battle hall cultivators are powerful, but it's a pity that they are too resource-intensive, and it is only because of a family like the Zhou family that has a big business, and a refining master like Zhou Daoyou, that they are willing to invest so many resources to cultivate a group of people!"

Yan Nantian, the patriarch of the Yan family, also looked at the battle on the field with a bright eye, and followed with envy on his face to express his opinion.

He wants to build a war hall like the Zhou family, even if the number of people is smaller, only twenty people can be raised.

But he took a closer look at the equipment on the Zhou family's battle hall monk, and he had to extinguish this thought.

It is also a second-order high-grade magic weapon, and the golden battle armor worn by the Zhou family battle hall monk is a special product mixed with third-order materials, and the supernatural power is also quite mysterious, and at a glance, you can know that it is from the hands of a third-order or above refiner.

Such a battle armor, even if he was willing to invest the same materials, those refiners of their Yan family would not be able to refine it, let alone those Zhou Yang's self-created magic weapon "Yuanyang Shield" that was unique to the Zhou family's battle hall monks.

And Zhou Yang listened to Chen Ping'an and Yan Nantian's words, and he didn't say anything on the surface, but he was extremely satisfied in his heart.

The battle hall of the Zhou family was established by him with all his might, and those resources were also specially approved by him.

He had different ideas from Chen Ping'an and others, and setting up a war hall in his opinion was to raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while.

Right now, the Zhou family is not a place that can be used by the Battle Hall Cultivators, but who knows if it will be used in the future?

Now set up a war hall to establish a regular army of monks, and pass it on from generation to generation to form an institutional inheritance.

In the future, when there is a real large-scale monk war, with such an army of monks in hand, whether it is offensive or defensive, it will be more useful than those monks who have temporarily pulled up I don't know how many times.

What's more, the real investment in this battle hall is not as big as outsiders imagined, mainly because it takes a lot of resources to purchase a full set of magic weapons and equipment for the first batch of monks, but as long as these magic weapons and equipment are not damaged or lost, as the battle hall monks sit down and fall, they will be recycled by the war hall and distributed to the new monks.

And the Zhou family has its own refiners, and it has all kinds of mineral veins, and the spirit stones consumed to purchase a set of magic equipment will not add up to more than two thousand spirit stones, which is completely within the scope of bearing.

"My Zhou family will not always be trapped in this boundless sea of sand, and if they go out in the future, if they want to develop and grow, they will have to compete with other forces for spiritual veins and mineral veins like those family sects in the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm!"

"When the time comes, if there is no army of monks who can fight, what will we use to compete with those forces that have raised Dao soldiers?"

Zhou Yang's eyes flashed, and when he thought of the location of the Great Bright Immortal Palace that he was about to leave for, he became more and more determined to vigorously promote the establishment of a large-scale monk army.
