Chapter 364: Changes in the Zhou Family [Second Update]
Zhou Guangtai, a middle-grade spiritual root qualification, a second-order high-grade talisman master, an elder of peace among the seven deacons and elders of the original Zhou family, was born in "Fengyue Building", and at the age of seventy-four, he was subordinated to the foundation building Dan retreat and building the foundation, and he succeeded in one fell swoop, and he was eighty-one years old this year, and he built a layer of foundation cultivation.
Zhou Guangqing, Zhongpin Linggen qualification, the son of the late monk Zhou Zhou Yuanchang of the Zhou family, was 57 years old and successfully built the foundation under the Zhuji Dan, and was 64 years old this year, and built a layer of foundation cultivation.
......
After Zhou Yang returned to the ancestral land of the Chihu Mountain family, the first thing he did was to ask about the situation of the two newly promoted foundation building monks in the family.
Zhou Guangxiang is also a smart person, as soon as Zhou Yang asked this, he vaguely guessed Zhou Yang's thoughts, so he hurriedly told Zhou Yang about some important changes that have occurred in the Zhou family over the years since Zhou Yang left.
It turned out that the four Tsukidan that Zhou Yang left him before leaving had been exchanged by the Zhou family one after another over the years.
However, the four Zhuji Dan were exchanged, but in the end, only Zhou Guangtai and Zhou Guangqing successfully built the foundation.
Excluding Zhou Guangqing, who has the inheritance of his ancestors, he only said that Zhou Guangtai, a monk from "Fengyue Tower", was able to gather 20,000 contribution points to exchange for Zhuji Dan, and there is still a story to tell.
It turned out that since Zhou Guangtai assumed the position of the Zhou family's security elder, in order to prove that his ability was enough to be qualified for this position, and not to be squeezed down by other clansmen, he has always been conscientious and hardworking.
And because of the news that the Zhou family was able to refine the Zhuji Dan, the Chihu Mountain Oasis attracted many casual cultivators to come here to ask for a living.
A large number of casual cultivators came to the Chihu Mountain Oasis to seek a living, which stimulated the economic development of the Chihu Mountain Oasis at the same time, but also made the security on the oasis become chaotic, and Zhou Guangtai, the Zhou family's security elder, was under great pressure for this.
In order to keep his position as a security elder, and because he couldn't advance an inch after his cultivation reached the ninth level of Qi training, he spent most of his day patrolling the oasis to maintain law and order.
And such conscientious work has also made him extremely rewarded.
During a patrol of the oasis, Zhou Guangtai noticed that three Qi Cultivators were chasing and killing another Qi Cultivator, and he went up to stop this behavior.
Unexpectedly, before he could reach the battlefield, the fleeing monk died at the hands of the pursuing monk.
At that time, Zhou Guangtai was just angry that the murderer ignored his existence and wanted to arrest the other party and punish him.
However, when he led people to kill two people, capture one and clean up the battlefield, he found something terrible in the fugitive monk's storage bag.
It turned out that in the fugitive monk's storage bag, there was a high-level exercise "One Qi Qianyuan Gong" and a token magic weapon inlaid with a fifth-order spiritual object "Xuanjing Stone".
After Zhou Guangtai got these two treasures, he immediately returned to the family and handed them over to the patriarch Zhou Guangxiang.
And after Zhou Guangxiang identified the authenticity of the high-level exercise, he rewarded Zhou Guangtai with 20,000 family contribution points according to the rules, and then exchanged another 15,000 family contribution points for the token magic weapon.
Originally, high-level exercises and token magic weapons that were at least fifth-order spiritual objects were of course more than just redeeming such contribution points.
But these two treasures were not obtained by Zhou Guangtai when he went out to hunt for treasures, but when he was performing official duties, according to the clan rules, the treasures obtained in this way belonged to the family.
Moreover, the purchase of the exercises and high-level spiritual objects contributed by the family monks by the family or sect is impossible to purchase at the market price.
The reason for this is not complicated, to put it bluntly, it is the word "safety".
During the Qi cultivation period, the monks contributed high-level exercise treasures to their families and sects, and although the rewards were far less than those obtained from selling them in the outside world, they could ensure safety and would not be harmed by others.
And if it is sold to the outside world, nine out of ten may have a life to earn and no life to spend.
Therefore, in most cases, after the low-level monks from the sect and family get the treasure, they will choose to hand it over to the sect and family in exchange for what they urgently need, rather than risking their lives to sell it.
Zhou Guangtai got 35,000 family contribution points out of thin air, so he was naturally overjoyed, and immediately exchanged for a Tsukidan retreat impact.
At that time, he was already forty-four in his seventies, and he married a wife and had children, so it stands to reason that the success rate of building a foundation will not exceed fifty percent.
But that's it, he still let him win the bet, and successfully built the foundation and became a foundation building monk.
Zhou Guangtai's foundation building process is like this.
And Zhou Guangqing was able to build a successful foundation, firstly, he inherited seven or eight thousand family contribution points from his father, and secondly, he was also very lucky, and when he was traveling abroad, he found a medium-sized third-order ore vein "Golden Obsidian" vein, and with the buyout dividends obtained from this vein, he won the family's 12,000 family contribution points in one fell swoop.
The so-called buyout dividend, as the name suggests, is a one-time direct one-time buyout of the family's share dividends from the monks who discovered the spiritual mine, which is also a new family rule formulated by Zhou Yang after reforming the family several times.
It was with this buyout dividend that Zhou Guangqing inherited, plus the family contribution points inherited from his ancestors, to exchange for a Zhuji Dan to build a foundation.
In addition to Zhou Guangtai and Zhou Guangqing, the Zhou family has two other Qi cultivators Zhou Guangyi and Zhou Guangwen who have exchanged for two Zhuji Dan over the years, but unfortunately the latter two ultimately failed to build the foundation.
The failure of Zhou Guangyi and Zhou Guangwen not only means that all the family contribution points they have accumulated since their grandfathers have been wasted, but also owes debts to many clansmen.
In the future, if they and their descendants don't have any adventures, they won't think about exchanging Tsukidan for two or three generations.
This is the reality, the harsh reality!
The successful ones are admired by all people, and their lives are extended for a hundred years, and the losers are remembered by no one, leaving their descendants behind.
“............ That's the basic situation, Uncle Jiu, you see, this is the book "One Qi Qianyuan Gong" and the token magic weapon. ”
On Chihu Mountain, in the Qianyang Cave, Zhou Guangxiang and Zhou Yang were alone in a room, and after reporting the situation, they reached out and patted the storage bag, took out a piece of jade slip and a silver-white token magic weapon and handed it to Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang didn't say anything polite to this nephew, he directly took over the two treasures, and he was not busy researching, just looked at Zhou Guangxiang and said: "A month later, I will hold a family meeting, Guangxiang, you pass on the news, let the deacons and elders prepare all the materials that should be prepared, and I don't want to see anyone make any low-level mistakes at the family meeting at that time!"
"My nephew understands, I must not disappoint you, Uncle Jiu. ”
Zhou Guangxiang solemnly saluted, and even retreated to do business.
When he left, Zhou Yang began to study the two treasures in his hand.
First of all, the book "One Qi Qianyuan Gong", this exercise is a rare high-level exercise, which can be practiced to the Yuan infant stage, and all monks who have the spiritual root of the five elements attribute can practice, and it can be used as the fundamental exercise of a sect or family.
This kind of high-level exercise suitable for the cultivation of a variety of spiritual root cultivators is many times more valuable than the "Qinghua Crossing Doom True Sutra" which is only suitable for the cultivation of spiritual root cultivators with wood attributes, and if it is taken to the auction house for auction, the price is at least more than one million spirit stones.
However, there are pros and cons to everything, although "One Qi Qianyuan Gong" can be practiced as long as there are five element attribute spiritual roots, but in terms of power, it is much inferior to those advanced exercises that are only suitable for the cultivation of single attribute spiritual root cultivators.
Therefore, this kind of exercise is actually only suitable for those forces who are not very rich in background and cannot gather a variety of high-level exercises with different attributes.
Not to mention the Zhou family's removal of Zhou Yang's own practice of the "Qianyang Immortal Sutra", there were only two high-level exercises before, namely the "Qinghua Du'er Sutra" practiced by Xiao Ying, and the "Golden Light Glory Formula" that Zhou Yang found from the "Golden Light Master" storage ring.
Among them, the "Qinghua Crossing the Doom True Sutra" is not owned by the Zhou family, because Zhou Yang, who signed the "Netherworld Blood Contract", did not dare to let Xiao Ying teach this technique to other monks of the Zhou family.
Therefore, the only high-level exercises that the monks of the Zhou family could choose before were one "Golden Glory Formula" suitable for the cultivation of metallic monks.
Xu Song, the ghost servant subdued by Zhou Yang, practiced a high-level fire attribute exercise "Lihuo True Sutra" before his death, but unfortunately this exercise was also purchased from another store, and he signed the "Netherworld Blood Contract" and was not allowed to be passed on.
This "Netherworld Blood Contract" directly acts on the Divine Soul Primordial God, even if Xu Song transforms into a ghost cultivator, he can't violate the Blood Contract.
Now the appearance of "One Qi Qianyuan Gong" has completely solved the problem that the monks of the Zhou family have no suitable exercises to practice, like Zhou Guangtai and Zhou Guangqing, who later built the foundation, both chose to practice this exercise.
On the contrary, it is the brother and sister Zhou Guangxiang and Zhou Guangxiang, because the foundation has been built for a long time, it is not good to transfer to the exercises, so they can only wait for the fate to marry in the future, and then consider the matter of transferring to the exercises.
"There is no problem with the exercises, it is indeed a complete set of high-level exercises, but this token magic weapon makes me a little difficult to understand, there is a [Golden Seal Text] on it, which means that it is at least a sixth-order treasure, but how can a sixth-order treasure not leak a trace of breath? It seems that Xu Song can only come out and ask him to identify it!"
In the cave, Zhou Yang held the silver token inlaid with the fifth-order spiritual object "Xuanjing Stone" in his hand and studied it for a long time, but he didn't study anything, and finally he had to put down this thing and summoned Xu Song, who was sleeping in the "Yunshen Card".
"I've disturbed Senior Xu's cultivation, there is a treasure here that I want to ask my predecessor to palm his eyes and see what it is!"
Xu Song came out of the "Yunshen Card", and before he could see the situation clearly, he heard Zhou Yang say the reason for calling him out.
He turned his gaze and looked at the silver token that Zhou Yang handed over, and then his grimace condensed by yin qi suddenly changed drastically.
"[Kunxu Order]!"
An exclamation sounded from Xu Song's mouth, as if he knew the silver token in Zhou Yang's hand very well, and said the name of the silver token in one bite.
"Oh, Senior Xu knows the origin of this treasure, so can you tell Zhou about the function of this artifact?"
Zhou Yang's eyes flashed with surprise, and he looked at Xu Song curiously and asked for details.
Xu Song, an old ghost, can be said to be well-informed, and can make him show this shock, Zhou Yang knows by feeling that the silver token in his hand called "Kunxu Ling" is afraid that it is very big.
