The land of the far west, within the boundless sea of sand.

The boundless sea of sand is just like its name, with sand as the sea, boundless.

The environment of the sand sea is harsh, and there are very few places suitable for human habitation, and only a few desert oases can accommodate human habitation.

Yuquan Lake is one of the few inhabitable desert oases in the boundless sea of sand.

The oasis is more than 100 miles long from east to west, more than 70 miles wide from north to south, high in the east and low in the west, there is the mountain name Yuquan Peak in the east, the mountain is hundreds of meters high, the trees stand on it, the clouds and mist are shrouded, and the mountain is the source of life of the whole oasis - Yuquan Lake.

Yuquan Lake covers an area of more than 10 square kilometers, the lake water comes from an underground dark river, the water volume is very large, the water quality is clear and sweet, and it can be directly drunk.

More than 100,000 human beings, countless birds and beasts on the thousands of square kilometers of land in the Yuquan Lake Oasis all depend on the clear water of this lake.

And Yuquan Zhou is the owner of Yuquan Lake Oasis.

The first person to discover the Yuquan Lake Oasis was Zhou Yuquan, the ancestor of the Yuquan Zhou family, and now the hundreds of thousands of human beings living on this oasis are all Zhou clan members who are related to the Yuquan Zhou family.

Yuquan Zhou is a family of cultivating immortals, its ancestor Zhou Yuquan, under the cultivation of the immortal sect "Huangshamen", more than 200 years ago from the sect resigned, in the Yuquan Lake Oasis to establish the Yuquan Zhou family, now has gone through seven generations.

Today, the ancestor of the Zhou family, Zhou Yuquan, has long been seated, but after more than two hundred years of development, the Yuquan Zhou family is now a powerful immortal cultivation family with one foundation building monk, dozens of qi cultivation monks, and more than 100,000 vassal mortals.

Ordinary Zhou clan people mainly live in the three small towns of Yuquan Lake Oasis, or cultivate fields, or graze cattle and sheep, and live a self-sufficient and carefree life.

The immortal cultivators of the Zhou family live in a unified manner on the Yuquan Peak, which is full of spiritual energy.

Yuquan Peak itself is a natural spiritual vein of the second-order upper grade, and after more than two hundred years of cultivation by the Zhou family, it has now been promoted to the third-order middle grade, which can be practiced by several foundation building monks and hundreds of qi cultivators.

Zhou Yang is the sixth generation of "Yuan" monks of the Yuquan Zhou family.

Yuhua Mingguang, Xuanyuan Guangtong, Fuze Rongsheng, Evergreen, these sixteen-character names were personally formulated by Zhou Yuquan, the founder of Yuquan Zhou.

Zhou clansmen, only after the detection of the spiritual root, with the qualification of cultivation, can be included in the family tree, after the death of the spirit card into the ancestral hall to be worshiped by the descendants of incense.

There are fifteen people in the Yuquan Zhou clan "Yuan" generation, and Zhou Yang ranks ninth, but when it comes to cultivation, he is the first of the fifteen.

At this time, he, a well-known "little genius" in the Zhou clan, was sitting in a natural cave on the mountainside of Yuquan Peak with his eyes closed, pinching the method with his hands in his hands, and going all out to absorb and refine the milky white earth vein aura steaming in the cave.

The leyline aura is a kind of essence qi conceived by the combination of the spirit vein and the leyline, which has a miraculous effect on low-level immortal cultivators breaking through the realm.

However, it is difficult to breed the leyline aura, and it can only be conceived in some special places where the leyline and the spiritual vein intersect, and the entire Yuquan Peak can only be conceived in the "Yuyang Cave" where Zhou Yang is at this time.

And the amount of leyline aura cultivated in the "Yuyang Cave" can only be broken through by a monk in the Qi cultivation period every ten years, and it is only effective for monks below the seventh level of Qi cultivation.

Therefore, among the dozens of clansmen of the Zhou clan in the Qi cultivation period, only a few particularly outstanding clansmen were able to use the leyline aura to break through during the Qi cultivation period.

Zhou Yang was able to use the "Yuyang Cave" to make a breakthrough, of course, it was related to his identity as the first person of the "Yuan" generation, otherwise his father was the sixth elder of the Yuquan Zhou clan, and the "Yuyang Cave" that was opened once in ten years would not be his turn to be used by a seventeen-year-old boy.

You must know that among the dozens of Qi cultivation clansmen in the Zhou clan, there are many people who have been waiting for this opportunity for a decade or two!

At this moment, Zhou Yang sat cross-legged with his hands in his hands, breathing evenly in and out, and with each inhalation, the milky white earth vein spiritual qi turned into two mist spirit snakes drilled into his nostrils, and was refined into his own mana.

In this way, when the number of milky white leyline aura in the cave was reduced to less than thirty percent, Zhou Yang's closed eyes suddenly opened, and his shoulder-length hair automatically fluttered behind him without wind, and his momentum nearly doubled compared to before.

I saw him stand up, and muttered with joy on his face: "Finally broke through, the sixth layer of Qi training, the earth vein aura really deserves its reputation, this time it has at least saved me at least three years of time!"

At the age of seventeen, the sixth level of Qi cultivation, at this age, this level of cultivation is among the immortal cultivation sects like Huangshamen, and only a few elite disciples with high-grade spiritual roots can achieve it.

And Zhou Yang's spiritual root qualification is actually only of medium quality.

"The patriarch said that I may have some kind of special treasure body, and it is only with my cultivation speed that I can far surpass the monks of the same qualification, but unfortunately the treasure body is difficult to detect, and only the big sects such as Huangshamen can pass the secret method detection. ”

"Although my Zhou clan is a vassal of Huangshamen, it is impossible to ask Huangshamen to help detect the treasure body, unless I am willing to join Huangshamen!"

"But once you join the Huangshamen, you will be subject to the rules of the Huangshamen, and there will be countless elders on your head who can shout at you, how can I be comfortable in the clan now?"

"Hmph, there is a way to be rather a chicken head, not a phoenix tail, the Huangshamen family has a great cause, and there is no shortage of geniuses in every generation of high-grade spiritual roots, even if I have a treasure body, I am just an elite disciple when I go to Huangshamen, and the benefits I enjoy may not be as good as now in the Zhou clan, at least those elders here are looking forward to my success in building the foundation in the future, and the light lintel is all dedicated to my sake. ”

"Besides, as long as I succeed in building the foundation, the treasure body will naturally awaken and derive the treasure body supernatural power, and then I will naturally know what kind of treasure body I have. ”

Zhou Yang is not an ordinary person, he is a reborn person whose soul comes from the earth world, and he has more than twenty or thirty years of memories of his past life than ordinary people.

Although most of the memories of the past life in the past twenty or thirty years cannot be used in this Xianxia world because of the very different world environments, some of these methods, experiences, and principles for dealing with the world are things that can be used in all worlds.

Others only saw that the Huangsha Gate was majestic and prominent, with the Jindan Ancestor sitting in the town, and dozens of vassals of the desert oasis such as the Yuquan Lake Oasis outside, and there was no shortage of all kinds of exercise treasures, and they all wanted to join it and become one of them.

But I don't know, although the welfare of the sect is good, the rules are also strict, as soon as the sect is entered, it is involuntarily, and the disciples of the ordinary Qi training period have to complete the tasks that the sect is forced to assign every year, once they can't complete the task, they will stop issuing welfare benefits, and at worst, they will be abolished and expelled from the sect!

In addition, there are serious gangs in the sect, and the low-level disciples are all trying to suppress their competitors in order to show themselves in front of the high-level of the sect, or in order to compete for the right to use certain spiritual lands, and the competition is very fierce.

The ancestor of the Zhou clan was a monk in the foundation building period of Huangshamen, and the information about Huangshamen is recorded in the classics of the clan, so all the people of the Zhou clan, unless they are those who are not qualified for their spiritual roots and want to fight, no one wants to be a disciple of Huangshamen.

Zhou Yang was very tired of that kind of office battle in his previous life, and he finally had the opportunity to get rid of that kind of battle in his life, and of course he would not let himself fall into it again.

It was because he had already made up his mind, even if the avenue was hopeless and immortal in this life, he would definitely not want to live that life of intrigue all day long.

Congenital, Qi training, foundation building, purple mansion, Jindan, Yuan Infant, crossing the tribulation, returning to the void, and joining the Dao, this is the nine realms of cultivation, if you want to seek true immortality, you can only become a Dao Heavenly Immortal who fits the avenue.

However, as far as Zhou Yang knew, since there were immortal cultivators in this world, he had never heard of anyone who was truly immortal, and the division of the nine cultivation realms was only passed down by the legendary immortals outside the heavens, and it had not been verified.

It is because for ninety out of nine monks, the Jindan period monks with a thousand years of longevity are the highest pursuit of their cultivation.

In this way, it is no wonder that he is unwilling to wronged himself to participate in those intrigues for the sake of that illusory legend of immortality.

Cultivation is also the cultivation of the mind, since the original heart is unwilling to participate in those intriguing things, of course Zhou Yang has to choose to act according to the original heart.

As soon as he broke through the realm, he was excited and thought a little too much, and Zhou Yang suppressed the messy thoughts in his heart for a while and looked at the remaining milky white earth vein aura in the cave.

"Although every time the Yuyang Cave is opened, the leyline aura inside can be absorbed to my heart's content, but since I have successfully broken through the realm, absorbing these leyline aura again will only help me stabilize the realm, and it will not have much effect. ”

"In this way, it is better to retain these leyline aura, so that the next time the Yuyang Cave will be opened a few years earlier, and benefit other clansmen. ”

It is not advisable to be solid and fishing, it is not easy to generate the spiritual energy of the leyline, it is too wasteful to simply use it to improve mana cultivation, since Zhou Yang has decided to stay in the clan and develop, of course he will not do this kind of evil thing that harms the public and private interests.

He made a decision in his heart, and when he opened the door of the cave and walked out of the cave, he explained the situation to the family elders who were guarding outside.

"Yuyang Cave" is the important place of the Zhou family, and there are family elders who sit in the guard all the year round, and now the guard outside is the "Xuan" monk Zhou Xuanhe, who is also the uncle of Zhou Yang's fourteen clans.

At this time, seeing Zhou Yang successfully break through the realm and walk out from the inside, and listening to him tell him about the situation inside, Zhou Xuanhe, who was wearing a cyan base and embroidered white crane Xiangyun robe, suddenly nodded with a smile on his face and smiled: "Not bad, Yang'er, you are worthy of being the most promising person in our Zhou family's generation, you have this kind of overall situation at a young age, if the old patriarch and eldest brother know about this, they will definitely be very pleased!"

The old patriarch in his mouth is Zhou Minghan, the only monk in the foundation building period of the Zhou family, and the only remaining member of the "Ming" generation, and the eldest brother refers to Zhou Yang's father, Zhou Xuanhao, who is also the sixth elder of the eight ninth-layer elders of the Zhou family, the eldest of the "Xuan" generation.

The monks of the Zhou family, as long as they are of the same generation, are called brothers to each other, and those of different generations are called each other by uncles and nephews.

At this time, in the face of Zhou Xuanhe's praise from the fourteenth uncle, Zhou Yang was very modest and said that this was what he should do as a member of the Zhou clan, and he was not proud of his identity and cultivation at all.

This performance is seen in Zhou Xuanhe's eyes, and he has a lot of high regard for this junior in his heart.

It is already rare to have a sixth-level cultivation of Qi at such an age, and what is even more rare is that you can not be arrogant or impatient, and take into account the overall situation, maybe the hope of the next generation of the Zhou family will really fall on this son.

Thinking of this, he remembered something again, and hurriedly said: "Since you have successfully broken through the realm, then go to the cave on the top of the mountain to meet the old patriarch, his old man has instructions earlier, if you can successfully break through the realm, you will go to see him." ”

"Then the little nephew won't bother the fourteenth uncle, thank you to the fourteenth uncle for protecting the little nephew. ”

Zhou Yang's expression moved, and he immediately thanked Zhou Xuanhe, and hurried to the old patriarch's cave mansion located at the top of Yuquan Peak.
