Chapter 600: Sixteen Years Later!

Qingyang Zhenren is a kind-hearted person, or Xuanyang Immortal Sect is not afraid of Zhou Yang's remorse at all.

The territory that was promised to be arranged for their Zhou family had been allocated to Zhou Yang after Xiao Zhou Guangcheng confirmed that he was a real person from Qingyang, but Zhou Yang had not received it before.

This time, Zhou Guangxiang and Zhou Tongxuan, the two aunts and nephews, came over, and after Zhou Yang agreed on the plan with them, he asked them to run back and forth several times with a large empty building ship, and transported the thousands of Zhou family mortals in the mountain city on this side of Chongxuan Mountain and most of the Zhou family monks on Chongxuan Mountain to Daoxuan Kingdom, and placed them near the Lingshan Mountain that Xuanyang Immortal Sect assigned to their Zhou family.

As long as ordinary mortals can settle down in the territory of Daoxuan, they can basically live peacefully until they die of old age for the rest of their lives.

In this case, the territory assigned to the Zhou family will certainly not be too large.

Including the fourth-order Shangpin Ling Mountain assigned to them, only the surrounding five hundred miles of land belonged to the Zhou family and could be freely used by the Zhou family.

However, it is also a land of five hundred miles, and the land within the Daoxuan Kingdom is completely different from the oasis land of the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Immortal Realm.

After tens of thousands of years of development, every acre of paddy fields, every acre of mountains and forests, and every acre of lakes in Daoxuan Kingdom can provide various living resources for the human beings living here.

With only 500 miles of land, it is easy to feed a million mortals.

Originally, after the land was assigned to the Zhou family, the monks and mortals living here had to migrate away, and the spiritual mountain and land were given to the monks and mortals of the Zhou family to practice and live.

However, in view of the special situation of the Zhou family, Zhou Yang did a great deed with kindness, except for letting a cultivator family who originally lived there lead his hundreds of thousands of mortal clansmen to leave, he did not forcibly expel the remaining two or three hundred thousand mortals in this land.

As for how to settle these mortals in the future, and how to integrate the Zhou family into the circle of the vassal family of the Xuanyang Immortal Sect in the territory of Dao Xuanguo, Zhou Yang handed it over to Zhou Tongxuan as an assessment task.

Since he learned that his father Zhou Guangxiang was in retreat to heal his injuries and was preparing to attack the Golden Pill, Zhou Tongxuan asked himself to stay in the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm and wait for the results.

He was filial, and Zhou Yang naturally would not object, so he just handed over the task of building the Zhou family in the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm to him, the patriarch of the Zhou family.

Of course, it is impossible to let go completely, occasionally Zhou Yang will still give Zhou Tongxuan some advice and guidance, and even personally go out to help the Zhou family integrate into the circle of the Xiuxian family in the territory of Daoxuan Kingdom as soon as possible.

As for Zhou Guangxiang, after meeting Zhou Guangxiang who was out of the customs halfway, she returned to the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Immortal Realm.

Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, Xiao Zhou Guangcheng was already twelve years old and grew into a beautiful boy with red lips and white teeth.

He is seven points similar in appearance to Zhou Yang's father, and he has also inherited Zhou Yang's excellent genes in terms of height, and he has grown to six feet at the age of twelve, which is taller than some adults.

However, in terms of personality, this kid is more like his mother Xiao Ying, quiet and kind, rarely angry and angry, and he doesn't like to use force with others.

Zhou Yang sometimes has a headache for his temperament, afraid that he will suffer losses in the future.

But because the child was still young, he didn't want to let him come into contact with the cruelty of this immortal cultivation world too early, so he didn't use some drastic means to change his temperament.

Mainly in this regard, his Taoist companion Xiao Ying also opposed him doing this, on the grounds that his son would have Qingyang Zhenren, a Yuan Infant Monk, as a master in the future, and it was impossible for him to be bullied and suffer.

The son is the mother's heart, and Zhou Yang is also very wise not to argue with the Taoist couple in this regard, but he plans to wait for his son to be sent to the Xuanyang Immortal Sect at the age of sixteen, and then secretly explain the matter to Qingyang Zhenren, so that he, the master, will be this "wicked person".

"Mother, is it a long time for my father to retreat and refine the instrument this time? It's been five months, and he usually comes out in a month at most!"

On Chongxuan Mountain, Zhou Guangcheng, who has grown into a beautiful young man, helped his mother Xiao Ying comb her hair in the mirror and take care of her long hair, and talked about his father Zhou Yang's retreat refining with a hint of complaint.

"You stingy ghost, didn't you just delay the matter of promising you to go to Suyun Sect for a few days, so that you will hold a grudge against your father?"

Xiao Ying raised her eyebrows, stretched out her jade hand and gently twisted it on her son's handsome face, which looked like her husband, scolded with a smile, and then said with a happy face: "Don't bother your father, he has been in retreat for so long this time, which means that his promotion to fifth-order refiner should be done,"

"Really? That's great!"

Zhou Guangcheng's eyes lit up, and his face clapped with joy.

Although he was only twelve years old, he also knew what a fifth-order refiner represented, that was a real refining master, an existence with an extremely high status in the immortal cultivation world.

In fact, Xiao Ying was right, Zhou Yang was indeed at the last moment of being promoted to a fifth-order refiner.

In this retreat, he failed three times in a row.

According to past experience, after he failed twice in a row, he would stop refining and calm down to sum up the lessons.

But this time it was different, this time he failed in the places that he had already conquered before, not new unknown problems, so he continued.

In this way, when he carried out the fourth refining, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, like a divine help, and refined the magic weapon to the last step in one go.

Now, his magic weapon has basically been refined, and he is in the process of finalizing the pregnancy weapon.

It is not uncommon for a fifth-order Dharma device to have a pregnancy time of as short as three or five years or as long as thirty or fifty years.

Generally speaking, the "pregnant device" does not necessarily require the refiner to watch from the side for a long time, as long as the instrument is not moved, and there is no problem with the supply of ground fire, the "pregnant device" basically will not go wrong.

Zhou Yang was also because this magic weapon was related to the result of his promotion to a fifth-order refiner, so he would look at it with anxiety, and by the way, he recalled and summarized the experience of this refining.

After waiting for eight months, he was sure that there would be no more problems with the "pregnant device", and after digesting the experience gained from the refining device, he walked out of the refining room to meet his wife and children.

"Dad, my mother said that you should have succeeded in refining the weapon this time, is it true?"

As soon as Zhou Guangcheng saw Zhou Yang out of the customs, he looked at him expectantly and asked about the result.

"Whether it succeeded or not, it's hard to say now, but did your kid take advantage of his father's retreat to refine the instrument this time, and secretly went down the mountain to play again?"

Zhou Yang looked at his son's handsome face that was similar to himself, and he was in a good mood.

Last time, the child just secretly went down the mountain to play for half a day, and you locked the child up for half a year, how dare the child commit it again. ”

Zhou Guangcheng shook his head again and again, and his little face showed a hint of fear and denial.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang couldn't help but nod with satisfaction and said: "It's okay if you don't dare, you are still young and don't understand the sinister outside, and your father will confine you to teach you a lesson, and it is also for your own good, you will understand these in the future." ”

When Zhou Guangcheng heard this, he pursed his lips secretly, a little disapproving, but he didn't dare to refute anything, just stood there silently.

Young people have a rebellious heart, and at the age of twelve, when the rebellious heart is the strongest, Zhou Yang knows this very well, so even if he knows that Zhou Guangcheng may not be able to listen to his words, he still said it.

With the passage of time and the maturity of his mentality, he also believes that the young man who matures in the future will understand that his father is good to him.

He didn't break it, just smiled slightly and said, "Get ready, in a few days, I will take you to Suyun Sect to play for a few months, which can be regarded as a reward for your excellent performance in the past two years." ”

Liu Yunxiang of Suyun Sect has already cultivated to become a Jindan ninth-layer monk, and for the vast majority of Jindan stage monks who are not from the Gate Sect, this cultivation is basically at the top.

The impact of the Yuan infancy is not as good as building a foundation or a knot, and once it fails, it is basically the end of the fall.

Therefore, a Jindan ninth-layer monk like Liu Yunxiang, who came from a medium-sized sect, would not easily try to marry a baby, so as not to cause turmoil and instability in the sect if he failed to fall.

Liu Yunxiang's lifespan is only more than 800 years old, and she has to wait at least a hundred years before she tries to get married, during this time, she will do her best to run for the sect and improve the internal and external strength of the sect, so as to avoid any turmoil in the sect in case of failure.

The last time she came to visit Zhou Yang in Xuanshan, she wanted to connect with foreign aid and deepen the friendship between the two forces.

This time, Zhou Yang was invited by her to visit Suyun Sect back, and the same was true.

Although Suyun Sect lost a lot of monks in the war a few decades ago, fortunately, the high-level monks did not lose much, and because Liu Yunxiang killed three [Six Dao Alliance] Jindan monks in that battle, she also exchanged for a [Jade Liquid Jindan] afterwards, and successfully created a Jindan monk for the sect again.

Now the Suyun Sect has a hardware pill, and among them, there is Liu Yunxiang, a ninth-layer monk of the Golden Pill, and his momentum is much stronger than before the battle.

Zhou Yang brought his wife and children to visit, except for one Jindan monk who went out to travel, the four Jindan monks of Suyun Sect, including Liu Yunxiang, all went out of the mountain gate to greet him and gave him the highest standard reception.

"Aunt Lin, why don't you see Sister Mi'er? Last time, she also said that when my father and I come to Suyun Sect, she will take me to see the spirit bees she raises, and invite me to drink the nectar wine she brewed herself!"

In the Suyun Sect, while his father Zhou Yang was discussing some things with Liu Yunxiang, Zhou Guangcheng quietly ran to the side of Lin Yuxian, the Jindan monk of the Suyun Sect, and looked at Lin Yuxian with a blank look at him and inquired about the news of a certain girl from the Suyun Sect.

"Mi'er, she went down the mountain to travel, and if you want to see her, I'm afraid you'll have to wait for next time. ”

Lin Yuxian looked at the young man who was looking at him with anticipation on his face, shook his head with a smile, and gave an answer that made Zhou Guangcheng quite disappointed.

"Ah, how can this be!"

He let out a cry of disappointment, instantly listless.

"Hmph, I said why do you always want to come to Suyun Sect, it turns out that you want to come here to meet the little girl privately, you kid is only a few years old, you know this, you really don't learn well at all. ”

Xiao Ying suddenly appeared from behind her son with an unhappy face, and scolded him with a cold face, it turned out that she was eavesdropping behind her.

Seeing this, Lin Yuxian couldn't help but smile lightly: "Young Mu Ai, it's just human nature, why should Sister Xiao blame him, if he still likes Mi'er in a few years, it's not impossible for our two families to get married!"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ying refused without hesitation: "The concubine also likes Mi'er's girl, but it's too early to say that she is married, and his husband has high expectations for Cheng'er, and he will not agree that he will get married before his cultivation is successful!"

Regarding Zhou Guangcheng's apprenticeship with Qingyang Zhenren, before he officially entered the Xuanyang Immortal Sect, only a very small number of people knew the news, and even in order to prevent the news from leaking, even he himself did not know.

And the Xuanyang Immortal Sect's "Xuanyang Treasure Book" requires that the cultivator should preferably be the body of Yuanyang, and if he does not cultivate to the Jindan period, he cannot break the body of Yuanyang.

Even after cultivating to the Jindan period, maintaining the body of Yuanyang is still of great help to the cultivation of this exercise.

This news was also told to him by the other party after Zhou Yang and Qingyang Zhenren reached an agreement.

When he knew the news, he knew that he had been put on a spot by Qingyang Zhenren unconsciously.

If he wants Zhou Guangcheng to have descendants in the future, he will retain the right of descendants to return to the Zhou family to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, but Zhou Guangcheng will practice the "Xuanyang Treasure Book" in the future, and it is really unknown whether he is willing to leave the descendants.

Of course, Lin Yuxian didn't know about these things, but when she heard Xiao Ying's words, her face suddenly showed a look of surprise, and then she glanced thoughtfully at Zhou Guangcheng, who had an unnatural face next to her, and nodded lightly and said: "This matter is indeed a reckless concubine, the two children are still young, and we will talk about it later." ”

In the evening, when she was resting, Xiao Ying told Zhou Yang about the conversation with Lin Yuxian during the day.

After Zhou Yang listened to her words, he immediately praised again and again: "You did the right thing Ying'er, young Mu Ai, Guangcheng This child is still young, it is normal for people to fall in love when they see a beautiful girl of the same age, and when he enters the Xuanyang Immortal Sect in the future, he will see more women of all kinds, and he will not be so easily tempted." ”

After speaking, he looked at the Taoist priest with an apologetic face and said with a wry smile: "My husband is usually busy with cultivation, and he doesn't discipline this kid enough, Ying'er, you have to take care of the level in this regard, don't let him really play with fire!"

"Don't worry, husband, the concubine can still be distinguished, and he won't let Cheng'er do anything. ”

Xiao Ying smiled lightly and responded with a full mouth.

Because of the discovery of some bad signs, Zhou Yang, who was originally expected to stay in Suyun Sect for a month or two, finally greatly reduced his time, and returned to Chongxuan Mountain with his wife and children after only staying for half a month.

After all, Zhou Guangcheng is only a twelve-year-old boy, and he is not yet at the age when his love first begins, although he is instinctively a little dissatisfied with his parents' approach, he does not react too fiercely.

At this time, his quiet and gentle temperament has become a place for Zhou Yang to rest assured, at least he doesn't have to worry about his rebellious heart being too heavy and doing something stupid.

After returning to Chongxuan Mountain, Zhou Yang still accompanies his wife and children and teaches his disciples every day, and patiently waits for the results of the "pregnancy" to come out.

Two years later, the results of Zhou Yang's "pregnancy" have not yet been released, but another good news has reached his ears.

It turned out that Zhou Ronghua, who followed Zhou Tongxuan to practice at the Zhou Family Mountain Gate on the side of Daoxuan Kingdom, had successfully opened up the Purple Mansion by using the help of the [Purple Heart Chalcedony] he gave him, and became another Purple Mansion monk of the Zhou family.

Zhou Ronghua was the first batch of descendants of the Zhou family to follow him to practice, and he was able to open up the Purple Mansion successfully, and Zhou Yang was also sincerely happy for him.

Therefore, when Zhou Ronghua stabilized his cultivation and came to Chong Xuanshan to meet him, he happily directly gave him the fourth-order high-grade magic weapon [Thousand Blade Plate] that he had used as a gift.

"This [Thousand Blades Plate] magic weapon has followed me since the time when the ancestor I opened up the Purple Mansion, and has accompanied me through countless treacherous battles, helping me kill many strong enemies, it is not only a magic weapon, but also a witness to the rise of the ancestor and the Zhou family over the years. ”

"Today, Ancestor, I will give it to you for self-defense, and I hope you can hold it all the way through the thorns and thorns and break out of a life of your own!"

In the cave mansion, Zhou Yang personally handed over the [Thousand Blade Plate], a magic weapon that had been unused for a long time, to Zhou Ronghua, and gave him some earnest advice as an elder.

When Zhou Ronghua heard his words, he was immediately excited and hurriedly knelt down on the ground with the treasure in his hand and thanked him: "Thank you for the treasure from the ancestors, the younger generations must treat this thing well, and keep in mind the teachings of the ancestors." ”

Zhou Yang waved his hand and said, "Don't be busy thanking you first, Ancestor, I still have a task for you here, I don't know if you are willing to do this?"

When Zhou Ronghua heard this, he immediately responded: "Ancestor, please tell me everything you have to do, it is a blessing for the younger generation to be able to share your worries for your ancestor." ”

His attitude made Zhou Yang very happy, and he couldn't help laughing: "This matter is not a big deal, since you have successfully opened up the Purple Mansion and your longevity has greatly increased, Ancestor, I want you to return to the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Immortal Realm with Tong Xuan in a few years, and change the Purple Mansion monks left behind by the family to come here to practice, so as to deepen the exchanges and contacts between the two clansmen." ”

When Zhou Ronghua heard that it was just this kind of thing, his face suddenly showed a hint of relief, and he immediately responded: "What's so difficult about this matter, the younger generation is willing to go." ”

Everything is going for the better.

A year later, after three years of "pregnancy", Zhou Yang's refined magic weapon was finally baked.

The shape of this magic weapon is a feather fan, and the material comes from the wing feathers and wing bones of the fifth-order middle-grade demon beast [Blue-faced Owl], which is a rare fifth-order low-grade wind attribute magic weapon.

After personal testing, Zhou Yang determined that this magic weapon had reached the level of a fifth-order magic weapon in terms of power, which showed that he could now officially announce himself as a fifth-order refining master.

From a fourth-order high-grade refiner to a fifth-order refiner, Zhou Yang spent a total of thirty-nine fifth-order materials and failed thirty-eight times before succeeding.

If these materials were converted into spirit stones, they would be worth four or five million lower-grade spirit stones, which showed how much it would cost to cultivate a fifth-order refining master.

Therefore, in the world of cultivating immortals, generally only those sects with Yuan Infant Stage cultivators can cultivate this kind of refining master.

For the rest, even if it was a medium-sized sect like Suyun Sect with many Jindan stage cultivators, if it wanted to cultivate a fifth-order refining master or alchemy master, it would have to raise the strength of the entire sect to have a chance to do so.

At this time, Zhou Guangxiang was already fifteen years old, and it was less than a year since the agreement with Qingyang Zhenren, so Zhou Yang completely left everything behind, took his wife and children to disguise himself as a casual cultivator, and traveled to the Immortal Cultivation City and the mundane city to let his son broaden his knowledge, and rushed towards the Xuanyang Immortal Sect.

Zhou Guangcheng didn't know that he was going to face a long-term separation from his parents, and he was happy that Zhou Yangken took him to the immortal cultivation world, and soon forgot all about his previous complaints about this father.

This year is the happiest and most satisfying year since he became sensible.

It wasn't until they entered the territory of Daoxuan Kingdom and traveled through the prosperous Xianyang City that the time for a showdown finally came.

"Son, have you had a good year?"

In the ordinary immortal inn where he lived, Zhou Yang called Zhou Guangcheng to the room alone, and he looked at his son, who looked almost the same height as himself, and his face was a little dazed.

Sixteen years is really a blink of an eye for the Jindan period monk, and the young man in front of him, in the personal witness of his father, has gradually grown from a small baby to an adult.

And now, the time for the father and son to part has come as scheduled.

As a father, he is also quite reluctant at this moment.

"Happy, Dad, if you don't retreat for so long in the future, we can go down the mountain more often, the outside world is much more interesting and fun than the mountain. ”

Zhou Guangcheng didn't seem to notice that his father's tone was abnormal, or he was still immersed in the excitement of playing everywhere and never came out, so he reflexively smiled and answered his father's question.

"It's good if you're having fun. ”

Zhou Yang nodded slightly, then suddenly stretched out his hands and pressed his son's shoulders, looked at his eyes with deep eyes and said, "Listen, son, this matter may be a little difficult for you to accept for a while, but you must accept it." ”

"Sixteen years ago, when you were just born, your father and your mother agreed to the Qingyang Zhenren predecessors of the Xuanyang Immortal Sect to let you enter the Xuanyang Immortal Sect and worship him as a teacher, but you were still young at the time, and your father and your mother couldn't bear to let you be separated from your parents since you were a child, so they pleaded with Qingyang Zhenren and let you grow up with us. ”

"Now that you're an adult, it's time to leave your parents and start your own life. ”

"You must know that when your father was about the same age as you, he had been separated from your grandparents for many years, and he accepted the family task alone and went out to experience the mining veins to kill demons. ”

Zhou Guangcheng's eyes suddenly widened, and his eyes were full of shock and panic.

He looked at Zhou Yang with a panicked face, and wanted to reach out to grab the corners of Zhou Yang's clothes, but his shoulders were firmly grasped by Zhou Yang, and his arms couldn't move at all.

After he did a futile effort for a while, he shouted loudly with a panicked face: "Dad, what are you talking about, how can a child worship someone else as a teacher......?

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Yang sternly: "Okay Cheng'er, what my father just said is true, you are already an adult, don't make this kind of childish posture again, my father doesn't like it!"

"But I ......"

His mouth fluttered, trying to say that he wasn't ready at all.

But Zhou Yang had already immediately spoken out to block his words: "You don't need to prepare anything, just enter the Xuanyang Immortal Sect honestly and listen to your master's words." ”

After speaking, he let go of his son's shoulders and grabbed his hands, hugged him, gently patted his son's shoulder to show comfort, and comforted softly: "Son, you don't know that you are not a high-grade spiritual root cultivator, but a spiritual body cultivator with a [Xuanyang Spiritual Body], and you will definitely become a big man in the immortal cultivation world in the future!"

"Entering the Xuanyang Immortal Sect to practice and apprentice to Qingyang Zhenren, this is an opportunity that many people can't ask for, if you don't have the [Xuanyang Spirit Body], you think that your father's face can't help you do this. ”

"If you can become a Yuan Infant Monk in the future, your father and your mother, as well as your senior brothers and sisters on Chongxuan Mountain, as well as the monks of the entire Zhou family, will be proud of you and proud of you. ”

"Be obedient, follow Qingyang Zhenren to practice, in the future, as long as your father and your mother have time, they will come to Xuanyang Immortal Sect to see you, you are just temporarily separated from us for a while, and in the long years to come, our family still has a lot of time to reunite!"

He turned out to be a rare spiritual monk!

This news surprised Zhou Guangcheng again, he always thought that he was a high-grade spiritual root qualification, and Zhou Yang also said this to him before.

And in order to facilitate his cultivation in the Xuanyang Immortal Sect in the future, over the years, Zhou Yang has also deliberately told him many things about the Xuanyang Immortal Sect, including the importance of the [Xuanyang Spirit Body] to the Xuanyang Immortal Sect, and how the last Yuan Ying Nine-layer "Half-Step True Immortal" monk Lu Xuanji, who had this kind of spirit body, relied on his powerful cultivation to overwhelm the immortals and cultivate the immortal world for three thousand years.

At this time, he remembered Zhou Yang's previous teachings to him, coupled with the words of sincere persuasion just now, and the panic on his face gradually calmed down.

"Dad, you've been hiding from your children so hard all these years!"

He looked up at his father's soft and loving face, and sighed, and his words were not without complaints.

Zhou Yang just smiled kindly at this: "As a father, I just don't want you to bear the pressure too early, I just want you to grow up happily and carefree." ”

When Zhou Guangcheng heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "So this year's travel life, is it the compensation of your father and mother for the child?"

Zhou Yang didn't deny it, but just maintained a smile and said, "You can think so, you are really happy anyway, aren't you?"

But the child is not happy at all. Zhou Guangcheng twitched his nose and wanted to cry.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang immediately smiled and reached out to touch his head and taught: "Silly child, no one in this world can be happy all the time, even if it is a child, it will be sad and cry because of the loss of your beloved toy, you have grown up, you should learn to accept this unhappy life, and try to find the point of making yourself happy in it!"

"The boy doesn't quite understand what you mean. Zhou Guangcheng looked at him with confused eyes, and his voice was also very confused.

"It's okay if you don't understand now, when you find something to make you happy in your new life environment, you'll understand!"

Zhou Yang nodded with an unchanged smile, and his words were full of deep meaning.

"Is that so?"

Zhou Guangcheng's eyes flashed, and then quickly dimmed again, because he still hadn't recovered from the loss of leaving his parents.
