"Father, this is a gift from Ying'er, which records her master's lifelong alchemy experience, as well as five third-order pills. ”

In Zhou Minghan's cave mansion, after Zhou Yang and the old patriarch Zhou Minghan finished talking about the family, they took out a jade slip and handed it to their father Zhou Xuanhao.

Master Xiao Ying was a third-order high-grade alchemist before his death, and he had countless alchemy in his life, full of experience in alchemy, and he also mastered five third-order pill recipes.

Xiao Ying is now giving these as gifts to Zhou Xuanhao's father-in-law, which is not unimportant for Zhou Xuanhao.

"This ...... Is this appropriate?"

Zhou Xuanhao looked at the jade slip in Zhou Yang's hand, and the surprise in his eyes was needless to mention, but he was also worried and didn't dare to reach out to take it.

This kind of thing of giving away the inheritance is almost impossible for the monks in the family, and it is strictly forbidden to do it.

So although it was a gift from his daughter-in-law to his father-in-law, Zhou Xuanhao was a little afraid to accept this gift for a while.

"Don't worry, father, Ying'er only had one apprentice before her master's death, and now this thing is also at her disposal. ”

Zhou Yang knew what Zhou Xuanhao was worried about, and hurriedly smiled and said something to relieve his worries.

Hearing him say this, Zhou Xuanhao was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly took the jade slip, and then smiled kindly at Xiao Ying and said: "Ying'er, you have accepted this great gift for your father, and your father has nothing good to give you now, so I can only promise you that even if my father is promoted to a third-order alchemist in the future, my Zhou family's alchemy resources in the future will still be based on you first, and my father will never compete with you for a point!"

A family, even if it is a Purple Mansion family, has limited resources in all aspects of cultivating immortals, and it must be given priority to the use of monks with higher skills.

If Zhou Xuanhao was promoted to a third-order alchemist, although it would be a great thing for the Zhou family, with the size of the Zhou family, it would be impossible to supply two third-order alchemists to grow at the same time, so someone would inevitably make concessions at that time.

Zhou Xuanhao had already made a concession decision in his heart after learning that Xiao Ying was a third-order alchemist, after all, Xiao Ying was much younger than him, and from this aspect alone, cultivating Xiao Ying was far more cost-effective than cultivating him.

Now that he has received such a big gift from Xiao Ying, there is no reason to compete with Xiao Ying.

However, when Xiao Ying heard his words, she was so anxious that she shook her head again and again: "No, no, no, father, you misunderstood, and my daughter-in-law definitely doesn't mean this!"

"I know, this is just my promise to you, and it is also the most suitable way for the Zhou family, I am already old, and if I can be promoted to a third-order alchemist in this life, I have fulfilled my lifelong wish, and I will die without regrets!"

Zhou Xuanhao waved his hand, sighed and said what he really thought in his heart.

Then he held the jade slip in his hand tightly, turned his head to Zhou Minghan and Zhou Yang and said, "Old patriarch, Yang'er, I will go back to retreat and heal my wounds first, I will not participate in the family meeting, whatever decision you make, I will unconditionally support it!"

After saying that, he hurriedly left the cave with the healing pill and went back to retreat to heal his wounds.

Seeing this, Zhou Minghan couldn't help but nodded and said: "Xuanhao, this kid is generally knowledgeable and reasonable, the old man sees that he has this state of mind, there must be no problem in being promoted to a third-order alchemist!"

"I also believe that my father will succeed. ”

Zhou Yang nodded, and he was also very confident in his father.

Then there was a flash of inspiration in his hand, but he took out the third-order high-grade spirit fruit "Qionghua Biyue Fruit" that he had picked at the beginning.

"Great-grandfather, my grandson picked two [Qionghua Biyue Fruits] at the beginning, this spirit fruit is a gift from your grandson, if you can take this spirit fruit and take the next [Fire Jiao Pill], it shouldn't be any problem to be promoted to the ninth layer of foundation building within a few years. ”

This "Qionghua Biyue Fruit", when Zhou Yang first picked it, he had already decided to give it to the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, otherwise the preciousness of this thing would be enough to enter the auction at the auction meeting.

Including the third-order high-grade elixir "Fire Jiao Dan" that he purchased for monks in the late stage of foundation building, it was also purchased by Zhou Minghan.

The "Fire Jiao Pill" is said to be refined with the spiritual blood of the fifth-order spirit beast "Red Fire Jiao" raised in the Xuanyang Immortal Sect as the main material, and the medicinal properties are domineering and strong, although it will make the person who takes the spirit pill produce the pain of burning the body, but it can also greatly enhance the mana cultivation of the monks in the later stage of the foundation of the fire system exercises.

"This, this thing is too valuable, let's leave it to Ying'er for use in the future, the old man Shouyuan is not much, even if he takes this thing to advance to the ninth layer of the foundation one or two decades in advance, it has no effect!"

Zhou Minghan stared at the turquoise spirit fruit in Zhou Yang's hand for a few breaths, then quickly shook his head and waved his hand unwilling to take it, unwilling to waste this kind of spiritual object that could be compared to Zhuji Dan on himself, a person who was about to sit down.

"Great-grandfather, what are you talking about? Not to mention that Ying'er herself is a top-grade spiritual root, and there is no problem at all when she cultivates to the ninth layer of the foundation, even if you have worked hard for the Zhou family all your life, and the credit and hard work are calculated together, this spirit fruit should also be taken by you!"

"And don't forget, that undeveloped oasis is still waiting for us to occupy and develop, the sooner you break through to the ninth layer of the foundation, we can also go over and occupy that oasis earlier!"

Zhou Yang almost stuffed the spirit fruit into Zhou Minghan's hand, and at the same time, the reason in his mouth made Zhou Minghan unable to find any fault.

Next week, Minghan didn't say anything more, and silently took the spirit fruit and put it away.

"Since this is the case, the old man Lingguo will accept it, and now the old man will personally go to the Baisha River Oasis to inform the various families of the news of your return, and then release the news of Xuanqing Dan, and when the old man comes back, we will hold a family meeting. ”

Immediately, Zhou Minghan left the Cave Mansion and flew straight to the Baisha River Oasis.

Zhou Yang also took Xiao Ying out of the cave at this time, introduced her to the Zhou family's Qi cultivation period people, and then went to worship at his mother's grave, and the couple respectfully kowtowed a few times in front of the grave.

Most of the clansmen of the Zhou family are happy to support the patriarch who brought back a beautiful Taoist couple in the foundation building period after going out for more than ten years.

The idea of these people is very simple, the patriarch Taoist is a monk in the foundation building period, which means that the family does not have to pay any price to suppress the clan movement, which means that the strength of the family has reached a higher level.

The strength of the family is stronger, and the better life they will have in the future, so they will naturally be happy.

After careful calculation, if Zhou Yuanchen, Zhou Xuanyu and the Eagle Lion Beast of Huangshamen are also counted, the combat power of the Zhou family in the foundation building period is now as many as seven.

Among them, Zhou Yang's combat power is stronger than that of an ordinary foundation-building nine-layer monk, and the combat power of the Eagle Lion Beast is equivalent to a foundation-building nine-layer monk.

With this kind of lineup, looking all over the entire Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Immortal Realm, I can't find a single Zhuji family that can compare.

In this case, many knowledgeable monks of the Zhou family know that the next one or two decades will inevitably be a period of rapid take-off of the Zhou family.

The small Yuquan Lake Oasis and Haoyang Mountain Oasis are no longer able to accommodate so many foundation building monks, and the Zhou family is bound to get out of the Yuquan Lake Oasis and open up a new family branch!

And when Zhou Yang took Xiao Ying and the Zhou family to know and accept the blessings of these clansmen, he was also learning about the changes in the family through this face-to-face contact, collecting family intelligence information, and preparing for the next family meeting.

Through this face-to-face contact and conversations with the clansmen, Zhou Yang learned that although the Zhou family had passed away three ninth-level elders of Qi cultivation in the past ten years, and several of them had not lived long.

However, the remaining "Xuan" generation cultivators, thanks to the development of the Zhou family over the years, except for the youngest seventeenth uncle, Zhou Xuanzhao, have all been promoted to the ninth level of qi cultivation and become the new family elders.

Therefore, now there are still seven ninth-level elders of the Zhou family.

Moreover, in the more than ten years since Zhou Yang left, the stewardship system formulated in the last family meeting has been basically established, and the Zhou family's spiritual fields, medicine gardens, mines, orchards, spirit animal gardens, shops and other fixed output resource points have been appointed to manage them.

These stewards cover the monks of the "Xuan" generation, the "Yuan" generation, and the "Guang" generation, and they may have different cultivations, but they are all the most suitable people to serve as stewards in this position among all the monks of the Zhou family so far.

"Patriarch, in the past ten years, the number of mortals in the family has also skyrocketed, and the Yuquan Lake Oasis is no longer able to support so many mortals, you hold a family meeting this time, please pay attention to this issue, otherwise the longer it drags on, the greater the trouble!"

On Yuquan Peak, when Zhou Yang was talking to Zhou Xuankun, the great elder of the Zhou family who was now in charge of personnel, the white-haired old man, who was already one hundred and sixteen years old, worriedly told him a bad news.

The number of mortals in the Zhou family had always been deliberately controlled by immortal cultivators within a fixed value before, otherwise, after more than two hundred years, how could they only breed more than a hundred thousand mortals.

It's just that in recent years, with the great increase in the strength of the Zhou family, and the diversion of some mortals from the spiritual veins of Haoyang Mountain, the Zhou family has slightly relaxed its control over the number of mortals.

However, no one thought that the mortal group of the Zhou family, which had been suppressed by various means for a long time, would have surged by more than half in just over ten years because of this relaxation!

Most of these mortals are people of the same race and same sex who have the same bloodline as the monks of the Zhou family, everyone was an ancestor more than two hundred years ago, and when people have already been born, the monks of the Zhou family can't forcibly strangle those babies who have no spiritual roots, right?

So now the Yuquan Lake Oasis is almost unable to feed the surging number of mortals!
