If a Jindan stage monk enters other immortal cities, he may let people take a few more glances and attract the attention of the guardians in the city.

But in a place like Liuyun Immortal City, Jindan stage monks can often see it, and when other monks see Jindan stage monks flying in the clouds, at most, they cast a look of envy and will not pay more attention to it.

After Zhou Yang left the cave mansion of Daoist Xiao Ying, he quickly rushed to the official cave rental agency of Liuyun Immortal City, and rented a fifth-order cave mansion in the immortal city at a rent of 7,000 spirit stones per year, and temporarily inhabited in this Liuyun Immortal City.

A few days after staying in the cave, Lu Xuewei, Zhou Tongxuan and others who received the news rushed over to meet him.

After 45 years, I haven't seen each other, and the cultivation of these juniors has made great progress.

Among them, Lu Xuewei benefited from the help of spiritual objects such as the "Ice Crystal Snow Lotus" lotus seeds given by Zhou Yang at the beginning, and cultivated to improve rapidly, and only forty-five years of cultivation from the first floor of the Purple Mansion to the fourth floor of the Purple Mansion, almost catching up with Zhou Yang at the beginning.

And Zhou Tongxuan and the other three Zhou family foundation monks have also made great progress in their cultivation.

Among them, Zhou Tongxuan was upgraded from the original four-layer foundation to the seventh floor, Zhou Zehong was upgraded from the original first-floor to the fourth-floor, and Zhou Fujin was upgraded from the original two-layer to the fifth-floor.

With their spiritual root qualifications, they were able to improve their cultivation level in an average of more than ten years, in addition to their own cultivation efforts, another important reason was, of course, that there was never a shortage of various elixirs to take.

As the juniors of the Zhou family who were valued by Zhou Yang and specially brought out to broaden their horizons, they were eligible for better treatment than other Zhou family cultivators.

And through these years of experience, these juniors have indeed made great progress.

The most direct point is that when they faced him, the ancestor of the family, at this time, although they were respectful, they were not as restrained and nervous as before, and they were no longer in a proper shape.

This made Zhou Yang feel very pleased.

The environment will affect and change a person's personality and level of dealing with others, Liuyun Immortal City, a place where the cultivation of immortals is highly prosperous, a Qi cultivation period monk often hears and sees those Zifu monks and even Jindan monks, and after a long time, naturally the awe of these high-level monks is greatly reduced.

This is both a good thing and a bad thing, depending on how to treat and recognize.

If Zhou Tongxuan and the others had grown up in a place like Liuyun Immortal City since they were children, then their so-called composure now, Zhou Yang would only use the words "nothing to show for it".

The flowers that grow in such a greenhouse may usually look good, but if you leave the safe and comfortable greenhouse of Liuyun Immortal City, you can go outside.

Just put the knife on his neck, put a tube of blood on him, keep and teach him that he can't maintain any demeanor, and it is very good not to kneel on the ground and beg grandpa to tell grandma.

But Zhou Tongxuan and the three of them are different, they come from the barren and backward small place of the boundless sand sea immortal cultivation world, since they were children, they have understood the cruelty of the outside immortal cultivation world from the Zhou family school, and they have also left the family experience, experienced life and death struggle, and have a deep understanding of the four words "the strong are respected" in the immortal cultivation world.

Now that they have entered Liuyun Immortal City to experience life, they have been affected by the environment here, and they have broadened their horizons and minds, and the self-confidence and calmness they have established can really be praised with the words "the inside and the outside are the same".

"Very good, the three of you seem to have been experienced, at least in this way, it seems that you are much stronger than at the beginning, but I hope that you are not just good-looking, but have real materials. ”

"In the future, the Zhou family will have to rely on you young people to be in charge, what my ancestor of the family can do is to help you deter those unscrupulous people, not to take care of children and take care of you to eat, drink and Lazar. ”

"At this point, I hope you must remember, don't have the kind of comfortable heart that can enjoy Qingfu with the presence of the ancestor!"

Zhou Yang looked at the three calm juniors in front of him, his face flashed with satisfaction, and he gave them encouragement and admonition in an earnest tone.

Although he knew that his kind of admonition might not be able to make all the people of the Zhou family listen to it, as long as most people could listen to it, as long as the people in power of the Zhou family could listen to it, it would be fine.

And Zhou Tongxuan and the three of them have the experience of cultivating immortals in Liuyun Continent this time, and after returning to the Zhou family, they will definitely be able to become the real power figures of the Zhou family.

When Zhou Tongxuan and the others heard his words, their faces immediately turned correct, and they hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Grandson, you must remember the teachings of your ancestors, or dare not forget them!"

"Okay, you three go back first, then we have to stay in this Liuyun Immortal City for a while, and when it's time to return to the family, Ancestor I will inform you!"

Zhou Yang waved his hand, asking the three juniors of the same clan to step back first, and then his eyes fell on his apprentice Lu Xuewei.

"Your master said that in recent years, you have rarely practiced in her cave, often going out for a few years, and often coming back with injuries, she asked you what happened and you didn't say it, and now you are asked by the teacher, are you not going to say it?"

Zhou Yang looked at this female apprentice with deep eyes, and as her cultivation deepened, because of the influence of her own ice spirit root and the exercises she practiced, the cold temperament like frost and snow on her body became more and more obvious.

Although immortal cultivators will be more or less affected by the exercises, their temperament is biased towards their own exercise attributes, such as the temperament of the fire cultivator will be more domineering and fiery, the temperament of the gold cultivator will be more sharp, and the temperament of the wood cultivator will be quiet and natural.

But if the temperament is too deeply affected by the exercises, it is not a good thing, and if it is not handled well, it is a big bad thing.

Like a fire-based cultivator, after being deeply influenced by the exercises, his personality will be very irritable and irritable, and he will often set up enemies for himself because of trivial things.

If you continue like this, you may even go straight into the fire, unable to control the irritable fire in your body and set yourself on fire.

And an ice cultivator like Lu Xuewei, if he is too deeply affected by the exercises, his personality will gradually become like a piece of ice, with indifference and inability to communicate, and he may also go mad and turn himself into an eternal ice sculpture.

Of course, with Lu Xuewei's cultivation, it would not be like this, otherwise Zhou Yang would not be as simple as talking to her.

At this time, after listening to Zhou Yang's words, Lu Xuewei suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed deeply to him and said: "The master forgives the sin, the apprentice is reluctant to tell the master, in addition to being afraid that she will worry, but also knowing that she can't help the apprentice, so why let her worry about the apprentice's affairs?"

"Now that the master has returned, the apprentice naturally wants to confess everything to the apprentice, and ask the master to uphold justice for the apprentice!"

Zhou Yang's expression moved, but he didn't expect that there was such an inside story here.

He looked at Lu Xuewei with a solemn gaze, and said in a deep voice: "You tell me about the matter, if someone really bullies you, the teacher will naturally seek justice for you!"

got his promise, and Lu Xuewei immediately told the matter from beginning to end.

It turned out that when she teamed up with three other Purple Mansion monks to hunt demon beasts more than ten years ago, she accidentally found an extremely rare fifth-order spiritual object "Water Spirit Xuanjing Stone" in the underwater cave where a fourth-order high-grade demon beast lived.

Originally, before the demon hunt, several people said that all the treasures obtained by the demon hunt were divided equally.

However, the appearance of a rare fifth-order spiritual object such as the "Water Spirit Essence Stone" made this agreement invalid.

You must know that the "Water Spirit Xuanjing Stone" is a very precious refining material, and it is one of the best materials that ordinary water system cultivators in the Jindan period can find to refine their natal magic weapons, and a fist-sized piece can be sold for two or three hundred thousand lower grade spirit stones.

And the "Water Spirit Xuanjing Stone" that Lu Xuewei found in the underwater demon beast cave mansion was the size of a basin, and it was worth at least a million lower grade spirit stones!

In the face of such a precious treasure, what role can that kind of verbal agreement play?

So, for the ownership of that large piece of "Water Spirit Xuanjing Stone", the four monks who had fought side by side before were divided into two sides and faced each other with swords.

Lu Xuewei relied on the various treasures given by Zhou Yang, and it was not difficult to obtain the treasures.

But she didn't expect that when she defeated the other competitors and was about to win the treasure, the monk who had been working with her suddenly betrayed and seriously injured her in a sneak attack, so that she could only regret missing the treasure and flee with her injuries.

By the time she fled back to Liuyun Immortal City, recovered from her injuries, and went to the door to find someone to take revenge, that person had already dedicated the "Water Spirit Xuanjing Stone" to the Jindan ancestor of a Jindan family, and thus attached to the Jindan family and became the fast son-in-law of his family.

Needless to say, Lu Xuewei was naturally unwilling to stop there, and quietly hid to seek revenge.

But her enemy was much more cunning than her, and he knew that she would not give up, so he deliberately set up a game to beat her in a counter-ambush.

If it weren't for the many spiritual runes given by Zhou Yang on Lu Xuewei's body, plus the healing elixir that Xiao Ying prepared for her to save her life, I'm afraid she would have been explained there on the spot.

In the past ten years, Lu Xuewei has made several shots, not to mention the slightest benefit, but has been injured many times by the opponent with the help of the power of the family, and has consumed all the spirit runes that Zhou Yang gave her at the beginning.

"Master, you often teach us, my generation of monks, we should be happy to take revenge, if there is kindness, we will repay it, and if we have revenge, we can't calm down and practice if we don't breathe this way!"

Lu Xuewei said these words with a cold face, a sense of anger contained in her heart, and there was nowhere to vent in her heart, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of evil anger.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang frowned, but he didn't expect that his apprentice would still have this kind of character of revenge without overnight.

This kind of character is not bad, but it is not too late to take revenge on the gentleman he believes in for ten years, which can be described as two extremes.

This kind of thing that Lu Xuewei encountered, if it were him, he would definitely work hard to improve his cultivation first, and then use his cultivation to crush the past and crush the enemy.

In fact, Lu Xuewei has this capital, she has excellent qualifications, as long as she is willing to work hard to cultivate, it is possible to cultivate to the eighth or ninth layer of the Purple Mansion within a hundred years.

At that time, her enemy must have relaxed her vigilance, and in the case that the Jindan period monk did not make a move, with her cultivation at that time, she could easily kill the enemy.

"Okay, the matter is already clear for the teacher, and when the teacher is ready to leave Liuyun Immortal City, he will take you to the Guo family and let you settle this grievance with your own hands!"

"But before that, you tell me to be honest and calm down and practice, and don't think about it anymore. ”

Zhou Yang frowned and pondered for a while, then suddenly waved his hand and said his decision.

He generally doesn't make decisions lightly, but the decisions he makes have always been the same.

As his disciple, Lu Xuewei grew up with him since she was a child, so she naturally understands this.

Therefore, she didn't say anything more, but just said, "The disciple obeys the master's orders." ”

"Go down, admit your mistake to your sister, she has always been very soft-hearted, and she will definitely forgive you. ”

Zhou Yang waved his hand and sent the apprentice away.

After meeting a few juniors, Zhou Yang began to busy himself with his own affairs.

He went straight to the largest shops on Liuyun Immortal Mountain to buy the spiritual objects he needed.

Zhou Yang planned to buy spiritual objects to refine a new set of flying swords, of course, it was that kind of fifth-order flying sword.

And to refine such a set of flying swords, you can't do it without enough materials.

He now has some materials in his hands, but he lacks others.

These materials may be difficult to find in other places, but here in Liuyun Immortal City, after Zhou Yang spent nearly 700,000 lower grade spirit stones, he successfully bought the materials he wanted.

Fortunately, Xiao Ying has helped Liu's Danfang to refine the pill over the years, and has also accumulated two or three hundred thousand spirit stones, otherwise Zhou Yang spends such a large amount of spirit stones, and the remaining spirit stones on his body may not be enough for him to buy those auxiliary pill spirit objects.

Of course, spending women's money still made Zhou Yang a little embarrassed, so he got rid of all the poison Jiao materials that he had killed in cooperation with Jiang Fengxian in the Kunxu Realm in a shop, so he returned more than 500,000 lower grade spirit stone funds.

It didn't take long for him to participate in an auction in Liuyun Immortal City, and he bought three copies of "Purple Heart Chalcedony" from the auction at the price of 200,000 lower grade spirit stones.

Soon, there was also good news from Xiao Ying's side, after the Liu family behind the Liu Family Danfang accepted her commission, they had already found two spiritual objects to assist her elsewhere, and they were quickly transporting them for her through the channel of the "Liuyun Business Alliance".

These two spiritual objects are a drop of "Zhimu Spirit Liquid" and the "Golden Berry" that Zhou Yang once used.

In this way, counting the "Ice and Fire Spiritual Liquid" that Zhou Yang had never used at the beginning, Xiao Ying even if she didn't use the "Jade Liquid Golden Pill", she still had three auxiliary knot pill spirit objects.

And in order to buy these two spiritual objects, Zhou Yang paid a total of 760,000 spirit stones, almost emptying him and Xiao Ying's family funds.

After the things were in hand, Xiao Ying lived in Zhou Yang's cave house to retreat and prepare for the Dan, while Zhou Yang was protecting the Dharma for her, and at the same time continued to practice the "Silent Soul Burning Divine Light" supernatural power.

Five years later, there is no news from Xiao Ying, who is in retreat, but Zhou Yang has successfully introduced the cultivation of the supernatural power of "Silent Extinguishing Soul Burning Divine Light", and as long as he often takes the time to practice this supernatural power in the future, he will be able to achieve a small supernatural power in less than a hundred years.

And at this time, the Xuanyang Immortal Sect, which Zhou Yang had been paying a lot of, finally had news.

After several years of negotiations, the Xuanyang Immortal Sect still chose to compromise, taking the initiative to give up control of more than a dozen rare ore veins, such as two large spirit stone mines and a medium-sized "Void Soul Stone" mine, and handed them over to the various sects that had made great efforts and suffered serious damage in the battle against the "Splitting Heaven True Demon".

At the same time, the Xuanyang Immortal Sect's spiritual mountains outside the Dao Xuan Kingdom were also forced to give up hundreds of them, including even seven fifth-order spiritual mountains.

But these costs are actually nothing, the biggest price paid by the Xuanyang Immortal Sect in order to calm this turmoil is that Lu Xuanji, the Yuan Ying Ninth Layer "Half-Step True Immortal", swore in front of many monks of the same level that he would spend the rest of his life looking for the "Heaven Splitting True Demon" who had escaped and no longer caring about the affairs of the Xuanyang Immortal Sect, which was actually equivalent to breaking away from the Xuanyang Immortal Sect.

In addition, the Yunxiao Zhenren of the Xuanyang Immortal Sect had vowed to sweep away all the demon cultivators in the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm, and he could no longer manage the affairs of the sect.

In this way, there are only four Yuan Infant Stage monks left in the Xuanyang Immortal Sect who can still pick up the beams, including Qingyang Zhenren and Huayang Zhenren.

The four Yuan Infant Stage Cultivators, in terms of quantity, are enough to maintain the cards of the top gate sect of the Xuanyang Immortal Sect, but they are completely incomparable to the previous momentum of the Nine True Sects.

Moreover, this time he gave up so many resource points and Lingshan territory, and in the future, in terms of the cultivation strength of the younger disciples of the Xuanyang Immortal Sect, I am afraid that it will not be able to compare with before.

In short, this time, the Xuanyang Immortal Sect is really broken, and it is basically impossible to recover to its previous momentum in a short period of time.

When Zhou Yang learned the news, a letter was also delivered to him.

The letter was sent to him by Qingyang Zhenren, and the content of the letter was a detailed plan of what he had discussed with Lu Xuan in secret.

According to the above description, if he was willing to secretly work for the Xuanyang Immortal Sect, the Xuanyang Immortal Sect would not only give him the status of a guest elder, but also arrange a fifth-order high-grade spiritual mountain for him to use as a place to stay through their ally Yuqing Dao Sect.

And if he wants to build up his power, the Xuanyang Immortal Sect can provide him with three Zhuji Dan at the market price every ten years, a "Purple Heart Chalcedony" every fifty years, and even if he helps the Xuanyang Immortal Sect solve some big problems, he can also obtain the qualification to buy the "Jade Liquid Golden Pill".

These benefits are not ungenerous.

It is the vassal Jindan family under the Xuanyang Immortal Sect, and the treatment is nothing more than that.

At the end of the letter, Qingyang Zhenren also said one thing, that is, Lu Xuanji will go to the extreme west with Yin Hanguang to cultivate the immortal realm in two years, and help Yin Hanguang compete for the position of the palace master of the Great Bright Immortal Palace.

After reading the letter, Zhou Yang couldn't help but be silent.

When he calmed down and thought about it in the past few years, he also figured out the intention of Lu Xuanji and Qingyang Zhenren to make efforts to win him over.

Obviously, in the trip to the "Firmament Wonderland", he exposed the hole cards such as the "Qianyang Orb" and the "Nirvana" supernatural powers, and in the eyes of Lu Xuanji and Qingyang Zhenren, these Yuan Infant Monks, he has changed from a "disposable" that can only be used once to an important chess piece that can be used for a long time.

In particular, he is now grown up and ready to do things, invest the resources in him, and no longer have to wait for a long time to pay for himself as before, but can see the results immediately.

What's even better is that he still has a lot of potential, and he has a lot of opportunities to sprint to the infant stage in the future.

The Xuanyang Immortal Sect had suffered heavy losses in terms of top-level cultivators this time, and they urgently needed to fill the gap in this regard, but there were only a few disciples in their own sect who were expected to be in the infancy stage.

Even if they started now, regardless of the loss of resources, they would select talented disciples from among the youngest generation of the sect and start cultivating, and they would not be able to cultivate a single Yuan Infant Stage cultivator for hundreds or thousands of years.

At this time, a gifted monk like Zhou Yang, who had a close relationship with their Xuanyang Immortal Sect and was trustworthy, naturally became another alternative way for them to fill in the gap.

If Zhou Yang can get married in the future, the Xuanyang Immortal Sect, which established a dependency relationship with him before he got married, can naturally easily pull him into the sect and become the guest elder of the sect.

Even if he is not married yet, with his combat power far exceeding that of a cultivator of the same level, the resources invested in him by the Xuanyang Immortal Sect can also get sufficient returns in other aspects.

Zhou Yang, who understood this, was not angry because he was being used, but felt very down-to-earth.

In the past, he accepted the favor of Qingyang Zhenren, but he didn't know how to repay the other party, whenever he thought of this kind of thing, he was uneasy and extremely uneasy.

Later events also proved that he was right to be worried, because he had not been able to repay the kindness of Qingyang Zhenren and Lu Xuanji, and in the end he had to risk his life to follow the other party to the "Heavenly Wonderland" to punish demons.

And now if he agrees to Qingyang Zhenren's conditions, the two sides will form a mutually beneficial relationship in essence, Xuanyang Immortal Sect will give him benefits, he will do things with benefits, and neither party owes anyone, but it will not dilute each other's affection, and he does not need to bear any moral pressure.

Therefore, Zhou Yang did not hesitate for long, and replied to Qingyang Zhenren, in which he expressed his decision to do things for Xuanyang Immortal Sect, and then forwarded the letter to Qingyang Zhenren through the hands of Xuanyang Immortal Sect's intelligence officers in Liuyun Immortal City.

Not long after, Qingyang Zhenren's reply came back, saying that he could go and receive the fifth-order Upper Grade Spirit Mountain at any time.

It's just that Zhou Yang also planned to return to the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Immortal Realm after Daoist Xiao Ying's retreat this time, so he temporarily suppressed this matter and didn't rush to do it.

A year and a half later, Xiao Ying's marriage had come to fruition, and after using three auxiliary spiritual objects, she still failed.

However, with the help of three kinds of spiritual objects, she broke into the second step of the "Hedan" step for the first time, and the next time she tries to tie the Dan, as long as she can find a strengthened spiritual object with a better effect than the "Golden Berry", and then with the assistance of the "Jade Liquid Golden Pill", there will definitely be no problem with the success of the Dan.

"One failure is nothing, and the husband failed twice to succeed!"

"Next, Ying'er, you should take care of your injuries in this Liuyun Immortal City, and your husband will take Tongxuan and them back to the family to deal with some things, and after the matter is dealt with, she will come back to accompany you. ”

"Also, you can continue to ask the Liu family to help search for spiritual objects that strengthen the divine soul, regardless of whether the price is high or not, if your husband returns to the family this time, he will definitely come back with enough spirit stones. ”

In the cave mansion, Zhou Yang looked at the Taoist who had injured the dantian because of the failure of the Dan formation, which caused his face to be a little pale, and while grabbing her palm in distress to comfort her, he told her that he was going to follow Lu Xuanji back to the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Immortal Realm.

Naturally, regarding the cooperation with the Xuanyang Immortal Sect to stay in the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm for development, he did not hide half a point, and told the truth all about it.

His honesty made Xiao Ying feel very relieved, and after hearing this, she quickly smiled softly and said: "The concubine understands, husband, your business is important, and the concubine will take care of her injuries and wait for your husband to come back." ”

So, after talking to the Taoist companion for a while, Zhou Yang did not bother Xiao Ying anymore to recuperate, and withdrew from the cave to summon his apprentice Lu Xuewei.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to leave Liuyun Immortal City, he wanted to help this apprentice take revenge, otherwise this apprentice would be angry in his heart, which would be very detrimental to his future cultivation.

Of course, he wouldn't use his current appearance to take revenge, that would expose his relationship with Daoist Xiao Ying, and bring a lot of trouble to Xiao Ying's life in Liuyun Immortal City.
