Liu Xuanxuan's success in building the foundation soon spread in the Zhou family, and even the fact that she took two Zhuji Dan to build the foundation also spread.

For this matter, not to mention those relatives of the Zhou family, monks and guests, even most of the children of the Zhou family are also envious and jealous.

In the Zhou family, Liu Xuanxuan was the first person to take two Zhuji Dan Zhuji in a row.

But no matter whether these people are jealous or envious, no one dares to talk about it in the open.

Because after Liu Xuanxuan successfully built the foundation, Zhou Yang, after obtaining his consent, accepted her as his second apprentice and decided to teach her his mantle of alchemy.

With Liu Xuanxuan's refining talent of refining a third-order magic weapon at the ninth level of Qi training, not to mention carrying forward his alchemy mantle in the future, at least there is no problem in passing it on.

After successfully building the foundation and learning from Zhou Yang, Liu Xuanxuan's life has reached its peak.

With her example in front of her, many of the Zhou family's relatives and monks, as well as those who were still hesitant to join the Zhou family's casual cultivation talents, seemed to see the guiding light, and the idea of being loyal to the Zhou family was much firmer.

Since the Zhou family can spend two Zhuji Dan for one Liu Xuanxuan to build a foundation, it is natural to spend the same price for the second person, as long as you are good enough!

However, the good news brought by Liu Xuanxuan's success in building the foundation did not last long, and was dispersed by the news of Zhou Guangxiang's failure to open up the Purple Mansion.

After half a year of retreat, Zhou Guangxiang's opening of the Purple Mansion ended in failure.

This failure caused his soul to suffer a lot of trauma, even if Xiao Ying refined the healing spirit elixir for him to take, he would not be able to try to attack the Purple Mansion for at least ten years in the next ten years, let alone easily fight with others.

"Eat a trench, grow a wisdom, this failure should make you understand, the high-grade spiritual root qualification is not a rare existence among high-level monks!"

"Self-confidence is a good thing, but blind self-confidence will only harm others and oneself in the end!"

When Zhou Guangxiang came to see Zhou Yang after leaving the customs, what he got was not the caring words of comfort from the elders, but Zhou Yang's cold words of admonition.

No one will have mercy on the loser, and neither will Zhou Yang.

Before Zhou Guangxiang, everything was smooth sailing, and because he had always been taken care of by Zhou Yang and his elders, he hadn't even experienced a few battles of life and death.

When a person is always doing things smoothly, his self-confidence will swell rapidly, and he will not be able to listen to the advice of others.

In Zhou Yang's eyes, Zhou Guangxiang before the retreat was undoubtedly like this.

However, as an elder, he did not let this dampen his confidence at that time.

Because at that time, if he hit his confidence, not to mention that it would affect the relationship between the two, it would be easy for him to fail.

But now that Zhou Guangxiang has failed, Zhou Yang will no longer tolerate him like this.

"Uncle Ninth has taught me a lesson, my nephew knows that I am wrong, and it is my nephew who has betrayed Uncle Nine's trust and your cultivation!"

Zhou Guangxiang nodded in frustration, did not dare to refute Zhou Yang's admonition, and honestly admitted his mistakes.

He is a smart person himself, after failure, of course, he understands where his failure is, and he also knows why Zhou Yang, who has always loved him, suddenly treated him so coldly.

At this time, it is more effective to admit your mistakes honestly than to say anything.

Sure enough, seeing that his attitude of admitting his mistake was quite good, Zhou Yang didn't say anything more about this matter, just waved his hand and said: "Since you don't have anything serious, you can honestly take care of the clan affairs at home in the next few years, and next time you are ready, come to me." ”

Cultivation has reached the ninth layer of the foundation and cannot be promoted, plus he can't re-attack the Purple Mansion for at least ten years, and he can't fight with people, Zhou Guangxiang can only spend the next ten years dealing with clan affairs and studying the formation in the family.

After handing over the clan affairs back to Zhou Guangxiang to take care of, Zhou Yang returned to retreat.

After a year and a half of retreat like this, his cultivation was raised to the fifth level of the Purple Mansion as scheduled.

This year, he was one hundred and sixty-three years old.

One hundred and sixty-three-year-old fifth-layer Purple Mansion cultivator, this is rare even in the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm, except for those spirit body cultivators, there are basically few Purple Mansion cultivators who can have this cultivation at this age.

Therefore, Zhou Yang was quite satisfied with his cultivation improvement speed.

At this rate, as long as he continued to cultivate step by step, it shouldn't be any problem to cultivate to the ninth layer of the Purple Mansion before the age of two hundred and fifty, and then he still had half a life to impact the Jindan stage.

Good things come in pairs, not long after Zhou Yang's cultivation breakthrough, Xu Song, who had been studying the method of breaking the formation on the side of the underground ruins, also sent him good news.

After he received the news, he hurriedly took the Taoist Xiao Ying and rode the Eaglelion Beast to the underground ruins.

"After nearly ten years of enlightenment by the old man, the operating principle of this formation has been mastered by the old man, and then you only need to follow the old man's orders and attack the location pointed out by the old man when the old man breaks the formation, you will definitely be able to break this formation!"

Outside the underground ruins, after Xu Song waited for Zhou Yang and his wife to come over, he explained his research results to the couple.

Of course, Zhou Yang and his wife definitely didn't understand the formation knowledge he said, so they could only use him as a thug and follow his instructions to attack the formation.

According to the formation breaking method prepared by Xu Song, if you want to break the formation, you must have a Jindan period monk and four Zifu stage monks to attack the five weaknesses of the formation base together.

When it was time to break the formation, Zhou Yang and his wife and the Eagle Lion Beast counted the three Purple Mansion combat power, and the demon corpse that Xu Song sacrificed was counted as one Purple Mansion combat power, and he himself served as the main attacker.

Before breaking the formation, Zhou Yang looked at the demon corpse that Xu Song had sacrificed, and he clearly remembered that this demon corpse was a hornless giant python before, but now, a dark green horn more than half a foot long grew on the top of this demon corpse's head.

"Is it because you devoured that corpse orb?"

He thought to himself, shook his head, and didn't pay any more attention to the matter.

The top priority is to break the guardian array of the underground ruins.

"It's all ready, wait for the old man's mana to mark where you can attack, the old man didn't stop, don't stop, don't hit the wrong direction!"

Outside the big array, after Xu Song repeatedly told Zhou Yang and his wife, he directly sacrificed his black umbrella magic weapon and black flag magic weapon to attack the big array.

His black treasure umbrella magic weapon can attack and defend, and when he attacked, the magic light on the umbrella surface shone, condensing a thick black pillar of light and blasting towards the corner of the large array.

The earthy yellow ruin guardian array shield was blasted by this black pillar of light, and it suddenly shook slightly.

At the same time, a turtle hiss sounded on Xu Song's black flag magic weapon, and the beast soul of the "Genshan Turtle" drilled out from within, opened its mouth, and also spit out a black pillar of light and fell to the black umbrella to attack that point.

"Now, attack these locations. ”

A loud shout sounded from Xu Song's mouth, and while maintaining the offensive, he waved his hand and shot out three mana that fell to the three weak points of the large array shield, and then commanded his demon corpse to attack the fourth point.

And after Zhou Yang and his wife and the Gripen beast heard his shouts, they also launched a fierce attack on the point he marked with various means.

In this way, after the two of them attacked for nearly an hour, the formation shield guarding the ruins finally began to shake violently in a state of disability.

After another half an hour passed like this, the formation shield finally broke with a loud "bang".

As soon as the shield of this formation was broken, the situation in the underground ruins was immediately clear.

The situation inside was more or less unexpected by Zhou Yang.

He originally thought that it would be an underground building such as an underground palace, but he didn't expect it to be a huge underground square that had been hollowed out.

This underground square is square as a whole, the length and width are thousands of zhang, the center of the square is a circular altar with a height of ten zhang, behind the altar stands a palace of acres and size, the plaque in front of the hall is above the three words "bright hall" shines brightly.

After Zhou Yang's gaze glanced at the altar and the palace, he didn't look any further, his gaze fell directly on the two figures below the altar.

Those two figures are Zhou Xuanyu's mother and daughter, who have been missing for many years.

It's just that decades have passed, and Zhou Xuanyu has become an old woman with white hair and wrinkles, looking like she is about to die, and anyone who sees it knows that she has a few years to live.

As for Zhou Yuanyao, decades have passed, and she has also successfully built a foundation and become a foundation building monk, and her cultivation is no worse than Zhou Guangxiang, who is in the Zhou family, and she is also a sixth-layer foundation cultivator.

"Yang'er, is it really you, Yang'er?"

Zhou Xuanyu tried his best to look at Zhou Yang's handsome face with his eyes wide open, he hadn't seen him for decades, Zhou Yang's face had not changed at all, he was still so young and handsome, full of vitality and vitality.

"It's me, stepmother, you read that right, it's the child, the child is here to pick you up!"

Zhou Yang looked at the white-haired Zhou Xuanyu, his eyes were sour, and his voice was a little choked.

After careful calculation, nearly 80 years have passed since Zhou Xuanyu's mother and daughter traveled abroad, and the two sides have not seen each other for nearly 80 years!

Eighty years!

Even if the longevity of the monk in the foundation building period is as long as 240 years old, eighty years occupies one-third of the length.

And an ordinary mortal, even in his whole life, may not be able to live so long.

"Woo woo, Brother Jiu, you're finally here, you're finally here, I know you won't leave us alone, I know ......"

Looking at Zhou Yang's handsome face in a daze, listening to Zhou Yang's familiar and unfamiliar voice, Zhou Yuanyao, who had been trapped in this underground space with his mother for nearly eighty years, couldn't help but throw himself into Zhou Yang's arms and cry loudly.

After being trapped for all these years, the biggest hope of the mother and daughter is to be able to wait for the family to come to rescue and wait for Zhou Yang to come to the rescue.

Now that Zhou Yang is finally here, the nearly eighty-year wait has finally come to fruition, and it is no wonder that Zhou Yuanyao, who is more than a hundred years old, will still cry on the spot with such a gaffe.

"Don't cry, don't cry, Yao'er doesn't cry, Brother Jiu is here, of course Brother Jiu won't ignore you, you are a small oil bottle behind Brother Jiu, of course Brother Jiu won't leave you alone. ”

Zhou Yang didn't care about the Taoist companion Xiao Ying being on the side at this time, but just hugged Zhou Yuanyao in his arms tightly, coaxing each other softly like a child.

He knew that Zhou Yuanyao's emotions needed to be vented at this time, and crying was the best way to vent.

Only when Zhou Yuanyao and Zhou Xuanyu's mother and daughter's emotions have stabilized can he ask the mother and daughter why they were trapped and the origin of this underground ruin.
