Qingyang Zhenren is a real person in the Yuan Infant Period, and he accepts apprentices, of course, he needs to hold relevant ceremonies.

According to the rules of the Xuanyang Immortal Sect, the apprentices of the Yuan Infant Stage monks directly enjoy the treatment of the core disciples of the sect, and the apprenticeship ceremony held at the time of entry, all the monks above the Purple Mansion stage within the sect, as long as they are not particularly important and cannot leave the cave, must be present to observe the ceremony.

Therefore, the apprenticeship ceremony held that day was extremely huge, hundreds of Zifu monks and dozens of Jindan monks, as well as several Yuan Infant monks who were still in the Xuanyang Immortal Sect Mountain Gate, all attended the ceremony in person to witness the great event of Zhou Guangcheng's apprenticeship to Qingyang Zhenren.

It will be a very monumental visit.

In order to protect Zhou Guangcheng, the matter of his [Xuanyang Spirit Body] will not be leaked to anyone other than the current insider until he has enough self-protection ability.

Therefore, the monks who watched the ceremony today, except for the first few Yuan Infant monks, only knew that Zhou Guangcheng was Zhou Yang's son, a monk with a fire attribute spiritual root qualification.

Most of them thought that Zhou Guangcheng was able to worship Qingyang Zhenren as a teacher because of Zhou Yang's father's credit.

Although they couldn't figure out what kind of benefits Zhou Yang used to impress Qingyang Zhenren and make him willing to accept his son as an apprentice.

After the apprenticeship ceremony was completed, Zhou Yang and Xiao Ying simply said goodbye to their son Zhou Guangcheng, and then left the Xuanyang Immortal Sect together and went to the Zhoujia Mountain Gate in the territory of Daoxuanguo to visit and comfort the clansmen there.

After that, the two returned to Chongxuan Mountain and went about their own business.

Xiao Ying was busy with the task of impacting the fifth-order alchemist, because Zhou Yang often used the "Qianyang Immortal Light" to help her refine her body and get rid of erysipelas.

This allowed her to save a lot of time in her cultivation to practice supernatural powers and improve her alchemy skills.

Zhou Yang was busy with a lot of things, he wanted to continue refining the fifth-order magic weapon, continue to improve his refining level, and then take advantage of the free time of the "pregnant weapon" to practice supernatural powers and intensive cultivation.

A Jindan monk, as long as he doesn't want to give himself a vacation, he always has something to do.

People are busy and always have little idea about the passage of time.

When Zhou Guangxiang was disheartened and begged to see Zhou Yang because of the failure of the knot, and asked to return to the boundless sand sea to cultivate the immortal realm for retirement, Zhou Yang was shocked to find that another eighteen years had passed!

"Do you want to return to the family?

In the cave, Zhou Yang looked at his nephew, who was already full of white hair in front of him, and sighed in his heart, a thousand words, and finally just turned into this short sigh.

Zhou Guangxiang failed to marry Dan, and he was mentally prepared for this.

After all, this is Zhou Guangxiang's first attempt to tie the pill, and he has been hit hard before, which has hurt his fundamental vitality.

In front of the level of Jiedan, there is no difference between the high-grade spiritual root and the medium-grade spiritual root.

The real difference is the number of times the impact pill is reached, the high-grade spiritual root monk can cultivate to the ninth layer of the purple mansion faster, and has several times the impact of the elixir, while the middle-grade spiritual root monk may not even have a chance in his life.

Although Zhou Guangxiang was a high-grade spiritual root cultivator, he had previously devoted too much effort to family affairs and formation research, which caused his cultivation speed to be much slower than before, and he only cultivated to the ninth layer of the Purple Mansion at the age of more than three hundred and eighty.

In this respect, Zhou Guangxiang has made great contributions to the Zhou family, because he helped Zhou Yang share this part of the matter, so that Zhou Yang can travel abroad with peace of mind to find opportunities to improve his cultivation.

Zhou Yang was supposed to give him the [Jade Liquid Golden Pill] in his hand as a reward to make up for the efforts he had made for the family over the years.

But because of the consideration of the family, Zhou Yang made the opposite decision at the last moment.

In Zhou Yang's opinion, if Zhou Guangxiang didn't have that heavy blow, he used the first impact on the golden pill to accumulate experience, and the second time he tried to tie the pill, under the condition of using the [Jade Liquid Golden Pill], he would have at least three or four percent of the success of the situation, so that he could already give it a go.

However, in the case of no experience accumulation, even with the help of [Jade Liquid Golden Pill], in Zhou Yang's opinion, Zhou Guangxiang's success rate is difficult to reach thirty percent.

In this case, for the sake of his family, he had to leave the [Jade Liquid Golden Pill] to his apprentice Lu Xuewei.

Also as a top-grade spiritual root cultivator, Lu Xuewei is now in her early three hundreds, and she already has the seventh-layer cultivation of the Purple Mansion, and she will be able to enter the ninth layer of the Purple Mansion in another forty or fifty years at most, so she will have two or three chances to hit the Jindan stage.

But this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that Lu Xuewei is an ice cultivator, and when she is married, she can also use the drop of [Cold Jade True Essence] in the family treasure house as an auxiliary spiritual object to help her form a pill.

With the effect of [Cold Jade True Essence] and the assistance of [Jade Liquid Golden Pill], as long as Lu Xuewei first accumulates one or two knotting experience, the chance of succeeding in the third knot will definitely exceed sixty percent!

On the one hand, there is a chance of success of less than 30%, and on the other hand, there is a chance of success of more than 60%, how to choose, it is obvious.

What's more, if you want to talk about credit, Lu Xuewei's credit to the Zhou family is also very great.

The Zhou family's spirit stone mine was discovered by her at the beginning, and most of the millions of spirit stones that Zhou Yang took from the Zhou family over the years actually came from the spirit stone minerals she discovered.

Later, she contributed to Zhou Yang the rare divine sense attack magic power of "Zhu Shen Sword Technique", which helped Zhou Yang make up for a shortcoming, and this credit is also not small.

Therefore, when Zhou Yang saw Zhou Guangxiang's current appearance, although he felt uncomfortable for him in his heart, he wanted to say that he regretted it, but he did not regret it.

After all, he is only a Jindan period monk, and his ability is also limited, so he can't really help everyone, and he can help with everything.

He can let his son be the head of the Zhou family for Zhou Guangxiang, this kind of thing is completely within his ability, even if someone complains about his nepotism because of this, it will not hurt him at all.

However, a treasure like [Jade Liquid Golden Pill] is not something that can be bought with spirit stones, it is a valuable thing that can only be bought at certain specific times.

is with Zhou Yang's current strength and net worth, it didn't happen to happen by chance, and it was very difficult to get it in ordinary times.

In this way, when there is only one [Jade Liquid Golden Pill], among the apprentice and nephew, who are very close to him, all he can do is to put aside his emotions and make the most favorable rational choice.

Zhou Guangxiang didn't know the complicated thoughts in Zhou Yang's heart, the failure of the attack on Jindan had already completely collapsed his spirit, and his will was extremely depressed.

He used to be quite observant of words and feelings, but when he heard Zhou Yang's sigh, he only thought that this ninth uncle was also completely disappointed in himself, and his heart suddenly felt sour, and he arched his hand to Zhou Yang with some self-abandonment: "My nephew is gone, Uncle Nine, take care!"

Zhou Yang naturally saw all these in his eyes, but even he couldn't give Zhou Guangxiang any useful comfort at this time, so he could only say: "Your current state is not suitable for going on the road alone, let's let Tongxuan accompany you, it just so happens that Ronghua is also preparing to go back to the family for a change of people, and the three of you will walk together on the road and take care of each other." ”

"The nephew understood. ”

Zhou Guangxiang nodded slightly, then the tip of his nose was sour, and finally he couldn't help crying, knelt on the ground at Zhou Yang with tears in his eyes, and sobbed: "Thank you Uncle Nine for your care and support over the years, but it's a pity that my nephew is incompetent and has lived up to Uncle Nine's expectations.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and said: "Hurry up, since Uncle Nine and I are your elders, I should take care of you, but I don't want you to repay anything, everything you have done for the family over the years, Uncle Nine I also see it in my eyes and keep it in my heart, you have not disappointed anyone, and you are worthy of the care and support you have received!"

"Uncle Jiu's great kindness, my nephew has always kept it in my heart, if it wasn't for Uncle Jiu, the nephew's private hiding of Zhuji Dan to build a foundation for his sister would be enough for my nephew to be condemned by the clan. ”

"Later, my nephew didn't listen to Uncle Jiu's words, and my reckless attempt to open up the Purple Mansion failed, and it was Uncle Nine that you selflessly gave [Purple Heart Chalcedony] to help your nephew open up the Purple Mansion. ”

"Later, my nephew did something stupid in order to pave the way for Tongxuan, and it was also Uncle Jiu who helped your nephew realize his wish despite the doubts of the clansmen and forcibly supported Tongxuan to ascend to the position of patriarch. ”

"Not to mention, after the nephew was killed by a traitor, Uncle Nine, you rushed over to rescue your nephew as soon as you received the news, and regardless of the background of the thief, you helped your nephew take revenge. ”

Zhou Guangxiang looked at Zhou Yang with teary eyes, and his tone was choked for a while.

"It's also your own struggle to get all the way to today, Uncle Nine, what I'm doing is just giving you a chance!"

Zhou Yang sighed softly, reached out and patted his nephew's shoulder, without saying anything more.

In the past, he gave Zhou Guangxiang a chance, but this time, he left the opportunity to his apprentice, although he did not regret it in his heart, but at this moment, when he heard Zhou Guangxiang mention these past events, he still felt a little ashamed and regretful in his heart.

"My nephew goes home this time, I am afraid that there will be no day to see Uncle Jiu, I hope that Uncle Jiu will take care of himself, the Zhou family can do without Zhou Guangxiang, but not without you, Uncle Jiu!"

Zhou Guangxiang took Zhou Yang's hand, looked at him with tears in his eyes, and muttered in a choked voice: "The only thing that my nephew can repay Uncle Nine for the rest of his life is to pray for Uncle Nine to the heavens every day in the family, pray to the ancestors and ancestors, and pray that Uncle Nine will go further as soon as possible, form the Yuanying Road, and ascend to immortality!"

"Hey!"

Zhou Yang sighed again, but didn't say anything more.

Next, Zhou Yang personally sent Zhou Guangxiang to the Zhou family in Daoxuanguo, handed him over to his son Zhou Tongxuan, and instructed Zhou Tongxuan and Zhou Ronghua to take good care of him on the road, and then watched the three of them leave the Zhou family in this way.

With the departure of Zhou Tongxuan and the others, the family affairs of the Zhou family were temporarily handed over to Zhou Shengyu by Zhou Yang.

At this time, Zhou Shengyu also had the cultivation of the seventh layer of foundation, and in the decades of family affairs experience, he had become a qualified family leader.

Since he arrived in Dao Xuanguo, Zhou Yang naturally went to Xuanyang Immortal Sect to visit his son Zhou Guangcheng.

At this time, Zhou Guangcheng was already thirty-four, and he had successfully built the foundation five years ago and began to officially practice the "Xuanyang Treasure Book", a Xuanyang Immortal Sect Zhen Sect exercise.

The father and son, who haven't seen each other for eighteen years, were a little speechless when they saw each other again.

But after all, it was a father and son who were connected by blood, and after a short silence, that little estrangement quickly dissipated in the conversation.

During the conversation, Zhou Yang was pleased to find that Zhou Guangcheng's personality had finally changed, he was still quiet, but he was no longer so soft and introverted, but became much more masculine and cheerful.

Through talking, he learned that Zhou Guangcheng had been arranged by Qingyang Zhenren to go to some places to experience over the years, and had seen the vicious and vicious deeds of demon cultivators who tortured and killed mortals and low-level cultivators, and had seen the things of low-level casual cultivators killing each other and brothers fighting against each other for the sake of a spiritual grass, and had seen many sinister things in the world.

With more knowledge of these things, it is easy for ordinary people to be full of doubts about the world, and they also have doubts about the people around them, doubting whether these people are close to themselves and themselves for other purposes.

But Qingyang Zhenren naturally has a way to help his disciples correct this abnormal concept.

Therefore, after many experiences, Zhou Guangcheng has now become a "qualified" immortal cultivator, and the standard of qualification is naturally the standard in Zhou Yang's eyes.

"The foundation building is still a little worse, after your cultivation reaches the Purple Mansion period, my father will take you back to the boundless sand sea to cultivate the immortal realm, worship your grandparents, you continue to practice hard, if you really want to be your father and your mother, send a message back, as long as we see it, we will definitely come to visit you!"

When parting, Zhou Yang raised his hand and patted his son's shoulder and made some advice.

"The boy knows. ”

Zhou Guangcheng opened his mouth, but only responded so dryly.

He actually wanted Zhou Yang to take him back to Chong Xuanshan to practice for a period of time, but he knew that Zhou Yang would definitely not agree.

"Let's practice well. ”

Zhou Yang stared at his son's face for a while, and finally repeated the admonition and left.

When he returned to Chongxuan Mountain, Wang Yanzhang, a registered disciple who had gone out to travel, had already broken through to the ninth layer of the foundation and returned.

At the beginning, he promised Wang Yanzhang that if he cultivated to the ninth layer of the foundation, he would accept him as an official disciple and give him [Purple Heart Chalcedony] to help him open up the Purple Mansion.

Now that Wang Yanzhang has met his requirements, of course Zhou Yang will not regret it.

So, under the witness of a group of registered disciples and Taoist companions Xiao Ying on the mountain, Zhou Yang held a formal apprenticeship ceremony, accepted Wang Yanzhang as his third apprentice, and gave a [Purple Heart Chalcedony] as a gift for the apprentice on the spot.

After Wang Yanzhang got this gift, he was not in a hurry to open up the Purple Mansion, but patiently practiced in the mountains, studied the experience of opening the Purple Mansion given to him by Zhou Yang, and taught those junior brothers and sisters on behalf of Zhou Yang by the way.

This steadiness made Zhou Yang very appreciative, and sighed that he did not accept the wrong apprentice.

In terms of qualifications, Wang Yanzhang is only a middle-grade spiritual root, and his second apprentice who died early, that is, Zhou Guangxiang's Taoist Liu Xuanxuan, has the same qualifications.

This spiritual root qualification made Wang Yanzhang already over one hundred and eighty years old when he reached the ninth layer of foundation building by cultivating to achieve it.

But now he can endure the temptation and is not in a hurry, this state of mind cultivation has already surpassed many foundation building monks in the same realm.

With this state of mind cultivation, Zhou Yang felt that he had a great success in opening up the Purple Mansion.

And the fact is indeed as he thought, after two years of self-cultivation and meditation, Wang Yanzhang began to retreat and open up the Purple Mansion, and then it only took seven months to successfully open the Purple Mansion and become a Purple Mansion monk.

However, when he succeeded in opening up the Purple Mansion, Zhou Yang, the master, had already been in retreat for several years, and he would not have time to congratulate him and give him gifts.

Zhou Yang retreated this time, planning to take the fifth-order high-grade spirit pill [Ziyang Treasure Pill] that he had exchanged for 500,000 merit points at the beginning, and impact the late stage of the golden pill.

His cultivation has been growing step by step over the years, rising to the next level every few decades.

Calculating the time, it has been more than two hundred years since he married the Dan, and on average, he is probably promoted to one level every forty years.

This speed is definitely not slow among the Jindan stage monks, and it can even be said to be very fast.

Excluding those extremely qualified spiritual body cultivators, few Jindan stage cultivators with high-grade spiritual root qualifications can achieve this cultivation effect.

In fact, in the past two hundred years, Zhou Yang has spent a lot of time doing other things, and he has not devoted himself to only intensive cultivation.

In this way, his cultivation speed was almost faster than those spirit cultivators.

At least according to the records of the Xuanyang Immortal Sect, Lu Xuanji, who was carrying the [Xuanyang Spirit Body], was already more than six hundred and fifty years old when he cultivated to the ninth layer of Jindan.

But Zhou Yang has just turned 500 years old now.

However, the difficulty of promoting to the late stage of Jindan in the middle stage of Jindan was much more difficult than Zhou Yang expected, after he used [Ziyang Baodan], he was not promoted to the late stage of Jindan as he wished, and he was still almost stuck in the sixth layer of Jindan.

Helplessly, he could only come out of retreat, hoping to slowly improve his cultivation by relying on water grinding.

This retreat, he spent seven years, not long.

After leaving the customs, Zhou Yang first met with Wang Yanzhang, the third disciple who had successfully opened up the Purple Mansion, and gave him a few fourth-order magic weapons and some spirit rune pills that he had refined by himself as rewards.

Then he took Xiao Ying, a fellow Daoist who was also in a bad mood because of the failure of the fifth-order alchemist, and left Chongxuan Mountain together and went to Xuanyang Immortal Sect to visit his son Zhou Guangcheng.

After that, according to the plan, Zhou Yang went to the Zhou family in Daoxuan's country to meet Zhou Shengfan and Zhou Shenghan, the monks of the Zhou family's Purple Mansion who came to Liuyun Continent to cultivate immortals.

Zhou Shengfan and Zhou Shenghan had just arrived in the immortal cultivation realm of Liuyun Continent not long ago, and now the main family affairs of the Zhou family here are still handled by Zhou Shengyu, who cultivated during the foundation building period.

Zhou Yang's arrival made the two who hadn't seen the ancestor of the family for a long time very happy, and they also seized the opportunity to ask Zhou Yang about the problems in cultivation.

Zhou Yang thought that he hadn't preached for the monks of the Zhou family for a long time, so he took the opportunity to hold a preaching meeting in the Zhou family to explain the way of cultivation and answer the doubts encountered in the practice for the children of the Zhou family here.

He originally planned to continue this sermon for three days and three nights according to the rules.

But until noon the next day, Zhou Yang, who was answering a question from a junior in the foundation building period, suddenly had a whim, his eyebrows beat violently, and his heart beat desperately at a speed several times faster than the normal beating speed.

"Husband, husband, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Yang's changes can be hidden from those juniors, but she can't hide from Xiao Ying, a Taoist companion who has been with him for hundreds of years, after she found out about Zhou Yang's abnormality, she immediately asked with a worried look on her face.

"This is the end of the preaching puja first, Ancestor, I have taken a step beforehand. ”

Zhou Yang did not answer the Taoist couple's question, but forcibly endured the discomfort and announced the end of the preaching puja, then handed the Taoist priest a reassuring look, disappeared directly from the scene, and entered a quiet room on the mountain.

In the quiet room, Zhou Yang let go of his mind and felt the reason for this sudden whim with all his might.

After I don't know how long it was, his eyes suddenly changed, and he looked to the east.

"Why the East? What does the East have to do with me?"

He looked deep to the east and muttered to himself.

"Oriental, Oriental...... Could it be that the phoenix is in trouble?"

Zhou Yang's face changed suddenly, and he suddenly stood up from the ground.

The warning on a whim just now, after he felt it carefully, he vaguely knew that it was someone who was very close to him in the far reaches of the East who was in danger.

But he looked back on his experience and asked himself if he had any close relationship with someone in the East.

It can make him warn on a whim, generally speaking, it is either a descendant of his bloodline, or a Taoist companion who has carried out the dual cultivation of spirit and flesh with him.

And he thought about it, and the only one who met this condition was Jiang Fengxian, a confidante he hadn't seen for two hundred years.

At the beginning, he and Jiang Fengxian parted ways in the Kunxu Realm, and the other party said that they would first go to Tiannanzhou to travel to the Immortal Cultivation Realm, and then transfer to the Donghua Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm, and finally return to the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm from the Donghua Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm.

But two hundred years have passed, and under normal circumstances, the other party should have returned from a long time ago.

But until now, Zhou Yang didn't wait for her to come to him.

Now he suddenly had a whim, and he sensed that there were people related to him in danger in the far reaches of the east, which had to make him wonder if Jiang Fengxian had an accident in the Donghua Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm.

I saw him stand up from the ground suddenly, wave his hand and take out a soul card from the storage ring, and when he saw that the soul card was intact, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Huh, since the soul card is fine, it means that the phoenix should still be safe for the time being!"

He exhaled and carefully put away the soul card again.

Before they separated, at his strong request, he and Jiang Fengxian each gave each other a piece of their own soul card in case of emergency, and at this time, you can see his foresight at that time.

But he was only temporarily relieved.

In any case, being able to make him have such a strong sense of whim is enough to show that the situation of that person in the east is definitely very bad now, even if he survives this danger, I don't know if he will encounter danger again in the future.

And this time on a whim, it also made him have a certain longing that he had been hiding in his heart, and an uncontrollable madness suddenly grew.

"It can't go on like this, it seems that before Hua Dan gets married, I have to go to the Donghua Continent to cultivate the immortal realm, if I don't meet Feng Xian again, make sure that she is safe and sound, I can't get married with peace of mind, I can't cross the [Heart Demon Tribulation] with peace of mind!"

A look of determination flashed in Zhou Yang's eyes, and he had already made up some kind of determination.
