Hundreds of meters high Yuquan Peak, the higher the height, the more intense the aura, the general practice period of the Zhou clan people on the mountainside practice is enough, there are also comfortable palaces and pavilions for people to live and live, clothing, food, housing and transportation also have special secular people to take care of.

Only monks in the foundation building period will stay in the monk's cave at the top of Yuquan Peak and practice with the rich aura there.

The entire Yuquan Peak is covered by a third-order mid-grade formation "Ten Thousand Trees Qingtian Array", because this array can absorb the aura of plants and trees inside the formation to enhance its power, so from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, in addition to those spiritual fields and elixir gardens that have been opened up, all kinds of tall trees are planted, including some thousand-year-old trees that are hundreds of years old and thousands of years old.

The canopies of these towering trees are connected, blocking the sun's rays, making the temperature in the mountains several degrees lower than those outside the mountains, and there are gusts of cool mountain breeze through the forest, and people walking in the middle of it are indescribably cool.

Zhou Yang, who was dressed in white, used a light body spell to go all the way up from the mountainside, and climbed quickly along the stone steps opened up between the trees, and soon came to the top of the mountain.

The top of Yuquan Peak has become very flat after artificial trimming, and the area is only a few dozen acres of mountain tops, because of the rich aura on it, except for the three places where three monk caves have been built, the rest of the places have been opened up into elixir fields, planted with various grades of elixir.

When Zhou Yang walked here, a medicinal fragrance mixed with various elixir aromas came to his nose, and a sip of it made people feel refreshed, and the mana operation of his whole body was accelerated a lot.

It is conceivable that if you can practice here all year round, the cultivation speed will definitely be much higher than if you were on the mountainside.

But this is simply not possible.

The elixir garden is the important land of the Zhou family, and many of the elixirs in it are cherished varieties that have been cultivated by the Zhou family for one or two hundred years, and the loss of any one of them is enough to make the old patriarch Zhou Minghan feel distressed for decades.

Therefore, in addition to the two second-order spirit cultivators in the clan, even a favored family genius disciple like Zhou Yang was strictly forbidden to step into the top of the mountain even if he was summoned by the patriarch.

And the top of the mountain is not something anyone who wants to set foot in, this is the core area of the formation eye of the "Ten Thousand Trees Optimus Array", which is guarded by a powerful formation force, and the guardians inside cannot control the formation to release it, even if the monks in the foundation building period come, there is only one way to break through the formation.

"Zhou Yang, a disciple of the younger generation, was ordered to come to meet the old patriarch, and asked the elders to let him go. ”

He stood outside the formation on the top of the mountain, and with a respectful expression, he bowed his hand towards the area in front of him that was covered by the white mist of the formation, and bowed.

"It turned out to be Xiao Jiu, the patriarch has already explained, you come in first. ”

An old voice came out of the white mist, and then the vast white mist in front of Zhou Yang surged, revealing a safe passage for one person to walk.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang hurriedly thanked him: "My nephew thanked Seventh Grandpa." ”

Then he went all the way down the trail, and finally came to a white-haired old man sitting under a tree tens of meters high.

The white-haired old man sitting under this tree is named Zhou Yun, who has practiced qi at the ninth level of cultivation, and has become the fourth elder of the Zhou family, ranking seventh among the "light" generation, and is also one of the only two second-order spirit planters in the Zhou family.

The youngest of the Zhou family's "light" generation monks is already over eighty years old, and the fourth elder Zhou Yun is nearly 100 years old, which is very close to the life limit of one hundred and twenty years old for monks in the Qi cultivation period.

Although the cultivator's ability to fight the law will not decrease much because of age, generally speaking, those old Qi cultivation period cultivators who are close to 100 years old in the major immortal cultivation families will retire to the ancestral land of the family to spend their old age in peace, not in the event of a major event of clan extermination, no one will disturb them, the heroes who have served the family for most of their lives.

In particular, Zhou Yun was also a second-order spirit planter, so he lived in seclusion on the top of this mountain, just taking care of the elixir in the dozens of acres of medicine garden.

Seeing Zhou Yang coming at this time, the old man suddenly waved his sleeves, and there was an extra tea table, a set of tea sets, and a futon in front of him. ”

It is rare for the descendants of ordinary families to come to the top of the mountain, and the patriarch who is higher than his own generation often retreats and practices, and the old man usually stays alone on the mountain without even talking, and he is also bored and panicked.

Now I am very happy to see Zhou Yang, the most outstanding junior of the younger generation of the family, coming.

Ordinary young people may not understand the psychology of the elderly, but Zhou Yang, who is a person in two lives, is quite understanding, and is willing to talk more with these old people without hindering business, and listen to them talk about various anecdotes in the world of cultivating immortals.

"It's not easy for Grandpa Seven's homemade medicinal tea to drink a cup on weekdays, but today my nephew has to drink it to his heart's content. ”

He smiled and walked over to the futon and sat down, taking the initiative to pick up the tea set and make tea.

Of course, immortal cultivators make tea differently from mortals, the flame used to make tea is transformed by mana, and it only takes a moment to make the tea boil, and there will be no smell of fireworks.

After a pot of tea was boiled, Zhou Yang poured tea for the two of them, and couldn't wait to pick up his cup of fragrant hot tea and drink it all.

Mortals drink tea like this, and the hot tea is afraid that even the throat will be burned, but for immortal cultivators whose bodies have been tempered by mana, this temperature is the same as ordinary people drinking warm water, which is nothing at all.

When the old man saw him gobbling up tea like this, not only did he not feel a trace of dissatisfaction, but looked at him very happily and asked with a smile: "How is it?

After asking, he didn't wait for Zhou Yang to answer, he also gently picked up the teacup and took a sip, then closed his eyes with a look of enjoyment, and said in a proud tone: "This is the old man's new tea prepared with the dead leaves of the second-order elixir [Xianyun Grass], plus the twenty-year-old [White Jade Ginseng] ginseng, the first-order elixir [Geranya] and other five kinds of elixirs, and there are only three taels in total, and even the tea for boiling tea is the spiritual dew that was just collected from those elixirs in the medicine garden in the morning. ”

"It is indeed a good tea, whether it is the taste or the effect of the medicinal tea of the seventh grandfather, it is not worse than the spiritual tea that my nephew has drunk before, if it can be produced in large quantities, it can provide my Zhou family with one more income item!"

Zhou Yang put down the teacup, silently felt the changes in the mana in his body, and sniffed the residual medicinal aroma between his lips, his face was full of admiration.

When the old man heard his appreciation, his face was first happy, and then he shook his head with depression and helplessness: "The old man also has this idea, but [Xianyun Grass] is the main medicine for refining the second-order elixir [Xianyun Pill], you can't waste this elixir so much for the sake of making tea, right? If you only use the naturally withered dead leaves, the amount is enough for the old man to drink it himself!"

"This ......"

Zhou Yang lowered his head in embarrassment, and decisively didn't answer the old man's words.

There is only one second-order alchemist in the family, that is his Laozi Zhou Xuanhao, once the [Xianyun Grass] is mature, it will be used by his Laozi alchemy, if he dares to say that the spirit grass is used to make tea, he Laozi will have to slap him to death.

"Hehe, you little slippery head is treacherous, don't worry, how can the old man be the kind of person who doesn't care about the overall situation?

The old man smiled on his face, he didn't know what Zhou Yang was thinking, first refuted him with a few words, and then picked up some interesting things he experienced when he was young and talked to him to help him resolve the embarrassment just now.

The two chatted like this, and after chatting for about a quarter of an hour, the gate of the cave where the old patriarch practiced on the top of the mountain suddenly opened automatically, and the old patriarch's majestic voice came from it: "Is Xiao Jiu here?" ”

Hearing this voice, the two people who were talking stopped in unison, and then Zhou Yang immediately stood up and arched his hand to Zhou Yunyi and said, "Seventh grandfather, my nephew has gone to see the old patriarch first." ”

"Go, go, don't keep the old clan waiting. ”

Bidding farewell to Zhou Yun, Zhou Yang walked directly into the cave gate that was opened, and soon met the contemporary patriarch of the Zhou family, Zhou Minghan, a monk in the foundation building period, in the cultivation room in the depths of the cave.

Zhou Minghan is more than 150 years old this year, but his face looks much younger than Zhou Yun outside, the hair on his head is not completely white, and his complexion is ruddy like a baby.

This is normal, the lifespan of a monk in the foundation building period is more than two hundred years old, if there is no accident, Zhou Minghan has at least forty or fifty years of life, and his cultivation is high, so he naturally looks younger than Zhou Yun.

When Zhou Yang saw Zhou Minghan, the patriarch of the Zhou clan was sitting cross-legged on the Hanyu bed meditating, and he didn't dare to look at it more, so when he came in, he bowed deeply and bowed and said, "Grandson to see great-grandfather." ”

Zhou Minghan, as the only existing monk of the Zhou family, and a cultivator during the foundation building period, naturally became the great-grandfather of all the "Yuan" monks.

"Xuanhe has already sent a message to inform the old man of your performance in [Yuyang Cave], Xiao Jiu, you have done a very good job in this matter, that is, the old man is far inferior to you in the overall situation at your age!"

Zhou Minghan on the cold jade bed, his eyes opened slightly, and when he looked at Zhou Yang, he unabashedly showed a look of appreciation, and when he came up, he praised it violently, and his joy was overflowing.

When Zhou Yang heard this, he said in his heart that he was unhappy, it was false, he was the first to be praised by the old patriarch Zhou Minghan for his "Yuan" generation, if this word was spread, his status in the eyes of those elders and elders in the Zhou family would definitely rise to a higher level.

However, he was happy and happy, but he did not get carried away because of this, and hurriedly replied: "Great-grandfather is serious, and the grandson has just done what he should do, but he should not be praised by his great-grandfather so much." ”

If every child of my Zhou family has Xiao Jiu, you are so sensible, why is the Zhou family so worried?"

Zhou Minghan couldn't help but smile on his face, obviously he was satisfied with Zhou Yang's answer, and he couldn't be more satisfied.

He smiled and stretched out his hand, and an invisible force dragged Zhou Yang's bowed body up.

"Come, stand up straight, let the old man take a good look at my Zhou family's Qilin'er!"

The old patriarch was so happy that he even shouted out the word "Qilin'er", which shows that he loves and values Zhou Yang, a junior.
