Chapter 146: Two Daughters Fight for Husbands (Ask for Subscription)
The promotion of the spiritual vein is not an overnight thing, and the spiritual vein level of Haoyang Cave has really been upgraded from the lower grade of the third order to the middle grade of the third order, which is already a matter of a year after the Gathering Spirit Formation is deployed.
After the spirit vein level was raised to the third order middle grade, the aura of the spirit vein of Haoyang Cave was finally successfully channeled to a sand dune on the ground, which could not actually be called a sand dune.
Because after the water demon flooded the Haoyang Cave, the sand and dunes around the Haoyang Cave were stored underground because of a large amount of water vapor, and a large number of desert plants grew in a few years, and the Zhou family had already arranged for mortals to plant trees and grass everywhere on the sand dunes selected as Lingshan.
So this sand dune, which is no more than 300 meters high, has now become a mountain with lush vegetation.
The transformation of the sand dunes into the Spirit Mountain is not only a change in appearance, but also after the spiritual energy is transferred from the ground to the ground, it means that the Zhou family can open up a large number of spiritual fields on this new spiritual mountain in the future, just like in Yuquan Peak.
In fact, it was also because of the fact that the spirit vein was able to obtain at least a hundred acres of spirit land after being upgraded, which contributed to Zhou Yang and Zhou Minghan finally making up their minds to upgrade the spirit vein.
There is no doubt about the importance of the spiritual field to a family of immortal cultivators, and the spiritual rice produced in the spiritual field is not only the food that the family cultivators must eat, but also can be sold in exchange for spiritual stones.
Compared with Yuquan Peak, which is also a third-order mid-grade spiritual vein, the total annual value of spiritual rice produced by one mu of spiritual field on Yuquan Peak is about 15 to 20 spirit stones, and even if various costs are removed, the net income can reach more than 10 spirit stones.
If a hundred acres of spiritual fields can be opened up on the side of Haoyang Cave, even if the output cannot catch up with the spiritual fields of Yuquan Peak because of the newly opened spiritual fields here, it will not take sixty years to return to the capital.
Therefore, in the long run, the harvest will definitely be greater than the investment.
The only thing that made Zhou Yang regret was that the "Tu Jin Ge Array" that originally guarded the spiritual veins of Haoyang Cave did not have time to put it away because he was in a hurry to retreat, and as a result, the water demon destroyed several array flags, and now it can no longer be used.
Such a third-order spiritual mountain is not guarded by a third-order formation, and security is a big problem.
Without the protection of the third-order formation, then only by having a monk in the foundation building period be stationed can the safety of the Spirit Mountain be guarded.
Originally, Zhou Yang wanted to stay here to guard Lingshan Mountain, but Zhou Minghan strongly disagreed with this matter, thinking that he, the patriarch, should be stationed in Yuquan Peak, the ancestral land of the family, so in the end, the task of guarding Haoyang Mountain fell to Zhou Xuanyu.
Soon after the completion of Haoyang Mountain, Zhou Xuanhao also collected all the materials through his family and successfully refined two furnaces of "Qinglingsan" elixir.
He is now physically injured and cannot refine the third-order elixir, which takes a long time, but refining the second-order high-grade elixir is still not a problem.
Through the help of these two furnaces of "Qing Ling San" spirit pills, in the next two years, the Zhou family had five Qi cultivation period cultivators, Zhou Xuanchen, Zhou Xuanying, Zhou Xuanhe, Zhou Xuanjin, and Chen Ting, who promoted their cultivation to the ninth level of Qi cultivation and became the new elders of the Zhou family.
Among them, Zhou Xuanchen and the other four Zhou family monks naturally became the elders of the Zhou family after cultivating to break through the ninth layer of Qi training.
As for Chen Ting, the husband of Zhou Xuanyan, the fourth elder of the Zhou family, he was specially approved to become the elder of the Zhou family after Zhou Yang held a meeting of elders to vote, and he was also the only elder with a foreign surname among the ten ninth-level elders of the Zhou family.
Chen Ting is actually younger than Zhou Xuanyan, he joined the Zhou family when he was in his forties, and he has been loyal to the Zhou family for decades, so most of the monks of the Zhou family still have no opinion on him becoming the elder of the Zhou family as a monk with a foreign surname.
Moreover, Zhou Yang also intended to use Chen Ting to set an example to attract outstanding monks from the outside world to join the Zhou family and enhance the strength of the family.
He would have such a thought, and it was also recently sent to him by his stepmother Zhou Xuanyu that Zhou Yuanchun and Zhou Yuanzhen, two female monks of the Zhou family's "Yuan" generation, should find a husband for him and start a family.
After careful calculation, Zhou Yang is now fifty-two years old, Zhou Yuanchun is the sixth, seven years older than him, and although Zhou Yuanzhen is a little younger, he is also more than forty years old.
These two women are both lower-grade spiritual root cultivators, and there is no hope of building a foundation in this life, and the young Zhou Yuanzhen, who is now cultivating even only the fifth layer of Qi cultivation, has just broken through.
According to an unwritten rule within the Zhou family, the monks of the same generation of the Zhou family, even if they are far apart by blood, do not approve of forming a Taoist couple.
Although this rule is not written into a book and written into the clan rules, the elders have also warned the younger monks since childhood.
And Zhou Yuanchun and Zhou Yuanzhen have grown older and more knowledge, and the little admiration for Zhou Yang at the beginning has long been shattered by reality.
Therefore, when they reach the age of marriage, they are bound to recruit sons-in-law and marry like Zhou Xuanyu, Zhou Xuanyan and other female elders.
Of course, in the family rules of the Zhou family, there is definitely no statement that female monks must recruit sons-in-law to start a family.
However, as a female monk whose spiritual root qualifications are not very good, she has been treated preferentially by all aspects of the family since she was a child, as well as the various ideological teachings and indoctrination of the elders, it is impossible to remain single in the boudoir after reaching the age of the immortal cultivator to be married.
Being single also requires strength!
As a female monk from a family, she has enjoyed all kinds of preferential treatment from her family since she was a child, and unless she can successfully build a foundation and become a monk in the foundation building period, it is impossible to be single for the rest of her life.
Once you are still single after the age of sixty, and you are not a monk in the foundation building period, you will be gossiped about by other clansmen!
Of course, Zhou Yang didn't have the idea of forcing the two sisters of the same clan to marry, but as the patriarch, he had to consider the thoughts of the clansmen, especially Zhou Xuanyu, the stepmother, who had personally summoned him to explain this matter, and he definitely had to pay attention to it.
Fortunately, Zhou Yuanchun and Zhou Yuanzhen did not reject the matter of recruiting sons-in-law, but just said that they would personally select the people who would join the family, and they did not want to accept the forced arrangement of the family.
Of course, Zhou Yang agrees with this, the twisted melon is not sweet, of course he understands this truth.
And in order to do a good job in this matter, after the news that Chen Ting had become the elder of the Zhou family, he specially asked people to spread the news of the Zhou family's recruitment of sons-in-law everywhere in Fang City.
The recruitment of sons-in-law by various immortal cultivation families in the foundation building period has always been a matter that makes casual cultivators talk about it, because for casual cultivators, joining the immortal cultivation family through this way is the fastest means to achieve class take-off.
No matter what happens in the other immortal cultivation realms, the boundless sand sea cultivation immortal realm, that is a situation where there are more men and fewer women, and only one female monk can be one out of every five monks on average.
Therefore, in the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm, for most casual cultivators and even family cultivators, being able to marry a female immortal cultivator as a wife is a face-saving thing.
Loose cultivation into the immortal cultivation family, although it is a blessing, but the fact that the wife is an immortal cultivator is also a fact, this alone is attractive to many casual cultivators.
Not to mention, once you join the Immortal Cultivation Family, it is equivalent to becoming a family monk from a casual cultivator, not only can you get the guidance of the family's predecessors on the road of cultivation in the future, but you can also use the name of the family to do things conveniently when you are walking outside.
There are many people who want to join the Immortal Cultivation Family, and of course, the various Immortal Cultivation Families also have a lot of requirements in recruiting sons-in-law.
According to the conditions for recruiting sons-in-law formulated by Zhou Yang, Zhou Yuanchun, and Zhou Yuanzhen, the two sisters, first excluded monks over eighty years old, and then excluded monks with lower grade spiritual root qualifications, and finally made detailed requirements in many aspects such as character, appearance, and personality, and set up checkpoints.
Therefore, "Ask the Divine Technique" is really a good spell.
Under the "Asking Divine Technique", even if some casual cultivators pass the various primary elections, at the last level, it will be easy to find out how many times they have been in and out of various "Fengyue Towers", whether they have the experience of forcing other women, or have done any great evil things.
Those who have a bad personality and low moral character, no matter how good the spiritual root qualifications, how high their cultivation is, and how handsome they look, it is impossible for them to become the son-in-law of the Zhou family.
So, after a year-long screening, Zhou Yuanchun and Zhou Yuanzhen finally selected a husband who satisfied them.
Among them, the husband selected by Zhou Yuanchun is named Tan Qiu, fifty-four years old, with a seventh-level cultivation of qi cultivation and a medium-grade spiritual root qualification.
Although this person is no longer Yuanyang's body, he was only young and ignorant, and he was taken into the "Fengyue Building" by an old fritter to play for a month, and then he was alerted to this matter, and he never had an affair with any woman again.
The husband selected by Zhou Yuanzhen is named Huang Yi, forty-seven years old, with a seventh-level cultivation of qi cultivation and a medium-grade spiritual root qualification.
Compared with Zhou Yuanchun's husband Tan Qiu, Huang Yi not only still maintains Yuanyang's body, but also looks better.
In fact, at that time, both daughters fell in love with Huang Yi and almost staged a farce of "two daughters fighting for husbands".
Fortunately, Zhou Yang directly asked Huang Yi for his opinion at that time, and Huang Yi himself was also very realistic, and directly chose the younger and more beautiful Zhou Yuanzhen, which made Zhou Yuanchun very angry.
Interestingly, after Huang Yi himself learned that Zhou Yuanchun was the great-granddaughter of Zhou Minghan, the old patriarch of the Zhou family, his face also showed a touch of regret and regret.
Zhou Yang, as a bystander, almost laughed out loud when he saw this scene.
He understands Huang Yi's feelings very well, as a man, if he wants to choose one of two strange women as his wife, of course, he must choose young and beautiful first.
But as a man who wants to achieve a class jump by getting rich, of course, it is cost-effective to choose a richer and more powerful woman as his wife!
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, Huang Yi is a casual cultivator, of course, he will not be bad in terms of human feelings, and he naturally knows that the Zhou family will not let him choose again.
And if he chooses Zhou Yuanchun for the first time, if he chooses Zhou Yuanchun again, don't say that Zhou Yuanchun will ignore him, even his wife Zhou Yuanzhen, who is now booked, I am afraid that he will be eager to peel and cramp him, a "negative man", so how can he mix in the Zhou family in the future?
