The Lu father and son finally compromised.

They can't do it if they don't compromise!

First, the two have already handed over the bottom, if they can't talk, who knows if the Zhou family will let them not see the sun tomorrow?

Second, although he knew that the Zhou family let his father and son marry the daughter of the Zhou family to form a family, they wanted to influence and control their Lu family through this kind of marriage.

But looking at it the other way around, if the descendants of the Lu family have half of the Zhou family's bloodline, it will definitely be easier to get the care and support of the Zhou family in the future.

You must know that even if some small families want to become vassals of a big family like the Zhou family, the Zhou family may not be willing to accept it!

And as they agreed to the conditions of the Zhou family, Zhou Yang and Zhou Minghan also swore in front of the Lu family and his son with a Taoist heart that they would never do anything to unload the mill and kill the donkey.

Naturally, this kind of Dao heart oath cannot be reassuring with signing the "Nether Blood Contract", but it is indeed binding on monks, and the higher the cultivation level, the more unlikely it will be to violate this oath.

After Zhou Yang and Zhou Minghan finished their vows, the Lu father and son came forward from Land Hushan and took Zhou Minghan to the oasis to check the situation.

As for Zhou Yang, he is now the patriarch of the Zhou family, and he is a limelight figure who has just held a foundation building celebration, so it is definitely inconvenient to leave the family at this time.

After more than a month passed like this, Zhou Minghan returned to Yuquan Peak with Land Rover Mountain.

"The old man has found out the situation, that oasis is indeed as Lu father and son said, extremely suitable for human habitation, the old man preliminarily estimated, if the oasis can be fully developed, with the land area there, it will not be a problem to feed 100,000 mortals. ”

"And although the area of that oasis is not as large as the Yuquan Lake Oasis, there is a natural third-order lower-grade spiritual vein and two second-order middle-grade spiritual veins, this condition is much better than the Yuquan Lake Oasis, plus the entire oasis is hidden by the natural phantom array, and the security is extremely high!"

"But the problem now is that the third-order demon beast that occupies that oasis is the third-order high-grade demon beast [Three-Tailed Demon Fox], and you know how powerful this strange beast is, even before Chen Ping'an opened up the Purple Mansion, he didn't dare to say that he could win this kind of alien beast of the same level, not to mention that there were two other third-order demon beasts enslaved by it for it to drive!"

On Yuquan Peak, after Zhou Minghan came back and put down Land Rover Mountain, he talked to Zhou Yang about his experience of going out in his cave.

Zhou Yang originally heard him say the first two paragraphs, his face was still showing joy, but after hearing his last words, his face instantly became a little ugly.

Of course, he knows the name of "Three-Tailed Demon Fox", this kind of fox demon is an atavistic mutant variety among fox demon beasts, and its strength is comparable to that of Jiaolong of the same level, not to mention, there is also the possibility of continuous evolution and growth.

It is said that if the "Three-Tailed Demon Fox" can evolve into a sixth-order demon king, it will be able to grow three more fox tails and become a "six-tailed spirit fox" whose strength is stronger than that of the same level dragon.

The most important thing is that this "three-tailed demon fox" is not only strong in itself, but also far more intelligent than ordinary demon beasts of the same level, which can be seen from the fact that its current strength is only a third-order high-grade, and it knows how to enslave other third-order demon beasts as subordinates like fourth-order demon beasts.

To deal with this powerful demon beast, to be honest, it is impossible to do it with the current strength of the Zhou family alone.

Of course, these are not the reasons that make Zhou Yang's face ugly, the reason that really makes Zhou Yang's face ugly is because this matter involves an unopened oasis, and it is impossible for them to ask for foreign aid like they did last time they dealt with the water demon.

The last time they dealt with the water demon, they dared to invite Chen Ping'an to kill the demon, firstly because the Haoyang Cave originally belonged to their Zhou family, and secondly, it was such a third-order spiritual mountain without the support of an oasis, which was not enough for Chen Ping'an and the Chen family to pull down their faces and snatch it.

But this time the situation is different, this time the oasis occupied by the "three-tailed demon fox" is a vast undeveloped oasis.

Such an undeveloped medium-sized oasis with a third-order natural spiritual vein is of great value.

As for how much this value is, the realistic template is the Zhou family of Yuquan Lake, if the Zhou family was not the ancestor of the Zhou family, Zhou Yuquan, discovered the undeveloped oasis of Yuquan Lake, how could they establish this foundation today?

If the Chen family can get such a medium-sized oasis that can lay a foundation for thousands of years in addition to the Baisha River Oasis, there will be no Zifu monks in the family in the future, and they will not be able to hold the treasure land of the Baisha River Oasis, and they will still have a way out of the family, so as not to cut off the family inheritance.

In the face of such big interests, what is the mere face?

Not even the Chen family, even the monks of the Huangshamen are not necessarily reliable in the face of such interests.

After all, such an oasis is a place that is enough to lay the foundation of a thousand-year-old family, and who can guarantee that the monks who have come to help will keep their promises in the face of the temptation of such an entire oasis?

You must know that Zhou Yuquan, the founder of the Yuquan Zhou family, was also a monk of Huangshamen back then!

"Let's put this matter down for the time being, when the grandson's cultivation reaches the late stage of foundation building, and when the father's injuries have also recovered, it will not be too late for us to develop that oasis, and then Guangxiang and their small-character monks will also grow up, and they can also contribute to the expansion operation!"

"As for the Lu family's father and son, let them stay on Yuquan Peak to practice for the time being, they want to marry a wife and have children, and it is up to them, but before my Zhou family occupies that oasis, I can't let them leave Yuquan Peak anymore!"

Zhou Yang thought for a long time with a heavy face before he exhaled lightly and said his opinion.

With his various means, if he can be at the same level as the "three-tailed demon fox" in terms of cultivation, it is not difficult to kill it, and then with the help of Zhou Minghan, Zhou Xuanhao, and Zhou Xuanyu, it is basically nine out of ten to take down that oasis.

However, with his current cultivation, it is estimated that it will take twenty or thirty years until his cultivation reaches the late stage of foundation building, and under the most optimistic scenario.

"Hey, that's all there is to it!"

Zhou Minghan let out a long sigh and did not object to Zhou Yang's opinion.

In fact, he didn't say anything in his heart, that is, he was worried that his longevity might not be able to wait for the day when Zhou Yang Xiuwei arrived at the late stage of foundation building.

After all, he didn't know that Zhou Yang could use the "Qianyang Immortal Light" to get rid of erysipelas.

He just calculated based on his own experience that if Zhou Yang was promoted from the current three-layer foundation building to the seventh-layer foundation, it would take at least forty years, and his remaining longevity was just that!

The matter of the new oasis is very important, and the people in the Zhou family who know the complete situation of this matter are only Zhou Yang, father and son and Zhou Minghan, the three monks of the foundation building period, and even Zhou Xuanyu does not know.

Zhou Xuantai, who was the first to contact the Lu father and son, also knew nothing, and was given a gag order by Zhou Minghan, prohibiting him from telling others about it.

As for the Lu family and his son, according to Zhou Yang's arrangement, the two were temporarily confined to Yuquan Peak, and the activity area was limited to Yuquan Peak, and there were monks arranged by the Zhou family outside the residence to monitor them.

Fortunately, these two people are also sensible, they know what the Zhou family is grounding them for, and they don't want to test the bottom line of the Zhou family with their lives, but they just nest in the place where the Zhou family arranged for them with peace of mind, and they are busy making big things every day with dozens of mortal women of the Zhou family who have come over.

After letting go of the matter of the new oasis, Zhou Yang and Zhou Minghan began to work on another major matter, that is, to upgrade the spiritual veins on the side of Haoyang Cave.

At the foundation building ceremony, the Zhou family exchanged two third-order magic weapons for seven or eight thousand spirit stones, plus the private savings of Zhou Yang and Zhou Minghan, as well as the spirit stone reserves on the family treasury, the thirty thousand spirit stones for the spirit vein upgrade were all together.

It is not difficult to upgrade the spirit vein, but the difficult thing is the spirit stone.

To raise a third-order low-grade spirit vein to a third-order mid-grade, it would require 30,000 lower-grade spirit stones, and if a third-order middle-grade spirit vein like Yuquan Peak was promoted to a third-order high-grade, at least 80,000 spirit stones would be required!

With the current scale and financial resources of the Zhou family, if a few foundation building period monks get together, it is still possible to upgrade a third-order low-grade spiritual vein like Haoyang Cave to a third-order middle-grade spiritual vein.

But to say that if you want to upgrade the third-order middle-grade spiritual vein to the third-order high-grade spiritual vein, it is really not enough.

The Gathering Spirit Array in Haoyang Cave had already been explored and selected by Zhou Xuantai, the only second-order array mage of the Zhou family, when Zhou Yang was in retreat.

This time, after Zhou Yang made the decision to upgrade the spirit vein, he immediately took Zhou Guangxiang, who had learned the formation skills with him, and began to arrange the spirit gathering array there.

Regardless of the formation talent, the formation mages in the cultivation world are mostly earth and water cultivators.

The spiritual power of the earth system is thick and stable, the spiritual power of the water system is good at changing, and the stability is second only to the earth system among the five elements, these characteristics can improve the success rate of the formation.

Zhou Guangxiang is a top-grade spiritual root monk with two attributes of spiritual root attributes, earth and wood, and he also practices earth-based exercises, which just meets the screening conditions of the array mage, and he himself seems to be quite interested in the formation.

According to Zhou Xuantai, it is difficult to say whether his formation talent can surpass that of the previous great elder of the Zhou family, Old Man Zhou Guangqian, but it must be higher than his master, and there is still a great hope of becoming a third-order formation mage in the future.

There is no problem that a top-grade spiritual root cultivator can't practice the ninth layer of qi before the age of sixty, Zhou Guangxiang is only in his early fourteens this year, and his cultivation is already at the fourth level of qi training, and it will not be difficult to copy Zhou Yang's cultivation speed in the future.

Therefore, Zhou Yang still agrees with Zhou Guangxiang's distraction to learn the formation, the Zhou family really needs a good formation mage to serve the family.

In fact, not only Zhou Guangxiang, but also the "Yuan" and "Guang" monks who were born later in the Zhou family, there are already many people who have been arranged to learn these skills from the elders of various families after showing their interest in cultivating immortals.

For example, Zhou Yang's sister-in-law Zhou Yuanyao, as well as another "Fengyue Lou" who was born in the "Fengyue Building" and is also a middle-grade spiritual root monk with fire and wood spirit root attributes, is now following his father Zhou Xuanhao to learn alchemy.

And Zhou Guangxiang's twin sister Zhou Xiang, because of the two lines of wood and soil in the spiritual root attribute, was arranged to go to the medicine garden to learn the spirit plant skills from Zhou Xuanchen, the manager of the medicine garden.

The rest of the skills, such as refining, talisman making, animal taming, and spirit brewing, are now also learned and inherited by small characters.

Half of the spirit stones that the Zhou family has earned in the past few years have been spent on cultivating these juniors.

If Zhou Minghan was still in charge of the family, he would definitely not invest so much at once.

But Zhou Yang is different, Zhou Yang's knowledge in his previous life told him that in terms of technical things, only if he is willing to invest capital in the early stage, he can become bigger and stronger in the later stage.
