Hearing the news of Lu Xuanji's death from Qingyang's true mouth, Zhou Yang was both surprised and not surprised.

When he was in the "Heavenly Wonderland", Lu Xuanji said that his lifespan was less than a hundred years, and when he went to the extreme west with him, Zhou Yang clearly saw that his body had begun to decline.

To be honest, with Lu Xuanji's situation at the time, he was able to delay it until now, which was already very surprising to him who knew the inside story.

"Senior Brother Lu has been busy with two things all these years, one is to seal the spatial rift in the [Death Sand Sea], and the other is to reopen the passage to the [Heavenly Immortal Realm]. ”

"Before he sat down and turned into an immortal, the first thing had already been done, the spatial crack there had been covered by a sixth-order large array, and the overflowing demonic qi would also be purified by the large array, as long as the great array was not broken, nothing would happen in thousands of years. ”

"The second thing he didn't have time to finish yet, so he couldn't support sitting down in advance, and Lao Dao's retreat this time was also because he wanted to concentrate on refining the few magic weapons he left behind. ”

Because he knew that Zhou Yang and Lu Xuanji also had a good relationship, and Zhou Yang was a person who had personally participated in these two things, Qingyang Zhenren did not hide anything from him, so he explained to him what Lu Xuanji had been doing all these years.

Zhou Yang also understood why he hadn't heard any news from this old-timer in recent years.

But these things have little to do with what he wants to know about this time.

So after listening to Qingyang Zhenren's words, he first lowered his head and paid a silent tribute for half an hour for this old-timer who had great kindness to him.

Then he raised his head, looked at Qingyang Zhenren with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "The news of Senior Lu's death should still be a secret now, right? Why did the [Six Dao Alliance] know this secret so quickly, and couldn't wait to provoke a war!"

"Senior Brother Lu has lived for more than 3,000 years, and the life experience of an existence like him has been excavated by all the great forces of the [Six Dao Alliance] after he successfully married a baby, so it is not difficult to deduce his longevity limit according to his cultivation years. ”

"However, Senior Brother Lu had taken the life-extending treasure at the beginning, and the [Six Dao Alliance] could only roughly deduce that he would sit and pass away during this time, and it was not clear whether he had already passed away, so he would try to find out the truth. ”

"What you did in Chong Xuanshan is not bad, I think it is to suppress them for the time being, so that they do not dare to easily start a real war, and buy more time for yourself and us. ”

"But the disadvantage of doing this is also obvious, when the news of Senior Brother Lu's death can't be blocked, Chong Xuanshan will definitely become a point of their main attack, and there will be a lot of pressure on your side at that time!"

Qingyang Zhenren answered Zhou Yangzhi's question in a quiet voice with a calm face, and analyzed and answered the situation for him.

After Zhou Yang heard his words, his face suddenly changed uncertainly, and his heart was like numbness.

Listening to the meaning of Qingyang Zhenren's words, war seems to be inevitable, and Chongxuan Mountain, where he is located, will become the main battlefield at the front.

That's not good news!

After being silent for a while, his face changed, and he looked at Qingyang Zhenren with a solemn expression and asked: "The junior still has something to understand, even if the [Six Dao Alliance] wants to test whether Senior Lu is still alive, shouldn't he test the monks of the Xuanyang Immortal Sect? Why did he choose Chongxuan Mountain as the location of the test? It is nominally the territory of the Yuqing Dao Sect!"

I didn't think that after Qingyang Zhenren heard his words, he immediately said without hesitation at all: "The two factions of Xuanyang and Yuqing are in the same breath, and the news of Senior Brother Lu's death as an immortal, we can even hide the elders of the Jindan period in the sect, but we can't hide a few Dao brothers from the Yuqing Dao Sect, otherwise the two factions will have a disagreement." ”

"And your pseudonym [Qingyun Sanren] is already close to the Jade Dragon Daoist Brother of the Yuqing Dao Sect, and it is not strange to put pressure on you to ask the Jade Dragon Dao Brother for help, and then verify that Senior Brother Lu died as an immortal according to your countermeasures. ”

This explanation makes sense.

Zhou Yang nodded slightly and accepted Qingyang's statement.

Then he frowned again, looked at Qingyang Zhenren with a sad face and asked: "As Qingyang's predecessors said, if war is inevitable, should Chong Xuanshan be defended? If it is to be defended, it will definitely not be able to be defended by the strength of the juniors alone; if it is not defended, where should the juniors go?"

"Of course Chong Xuan Mountain has to be guarded!"

"If the [Six Dao Alliance] really starts a war, they will definitely not be satisfied with just one Chongxuan Mountain, so how can we easily let them get a fifth-order high-grade spiritual mountain for nothing?"

"You can rest assured that Senior Brother Lu has already made proper arrangements for the aftermath before he sits down, if we really want to fight, our [Xuanqing Dao Alliance] may not be afraid of them [Six Dao Alliance]. ”

"However, now that the news of Senior Brother Lu's death has not been leaked, we can't rush to give you reinforcements, otherwise we will let the [Six Dao Alliance] perceive the truth through this matter. ”

"But you can rest assured, as long as it is confirmed that the [Six Dao Alliance] has officially launched a war, our reinforcements will immediately go to Chongxuan Mountain to aid you, and we will never let you fight alone!"

Qingyang Zhenren looked at Zhou Yang with a solemn expression, and gave him an affirmative reply in a firm and powerful tone.

This guarantee made Zhou Yang's face soften, and his face finally looked much better.

As a last resort, he didn't want to give up the treasure land of Chongxuan Mountain.

After all, a fifth-order high-grade spirit mountain is not something that can be obtained casually anywhere.

Even if it was a top sect like the Xuanyang Immortal Sect, there were not many Jindan Stage elders in the sect who could take charge of such a fifth-order high-grade spiritual mountain alone.

With the words of the seniors, the younger generations will understand what to do. ”

He bowed slightly, which was a formal statement.

Seeing this, Qingyang Zhenren couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction and said: "It's very good, you can rest assured and boldly guard there, with your cultivation strength, even if there is a large-scale war, there will be no worries about your life, on the contrary, if you can establish meritorious service in the war, whether it is for your future cultivation or for the Zhou family you came from, it will be of great benefit!"

Zhou Yang understood the meaning of Qingyang Zhenren's words.

For the powerful and powerful, war is the fastest means of accumulating wealth and heritage.

Once the war starts, the "Xuanqing Dao Alliance" will definitely carry out a wartime meritorious reward system, and meritorious service can use real military exploits to exchange all kinds of treasures from the Dao Alliance, including many treasures that would not be easily exchanged for people.

Moreover, the capture of the spoils of war from killing the enemy in the war is also a great reward.

You must know that in normal times, there is a Yuan Infant Stage Monk to deter, but few people dare to easily kill the Jindan Stage Monk of the Gate Sect.

But in the war, even if the Jindan Elder of the Xuanyang Immortal Sect was killed by the enemy, no Yuan Infant Monk would come to the door to avenge him.

Zhou Yang is undoubtedly the kind of person with strength.

However, he did not respond to Qingyang Zhenren's words, but just changed his words and said respectfully: "The juniors still have something to ask Qingyang's seniors, and I also ask the seniors to solve their doubts for the juniors." ”

"What's the matter?"

Qingyang Zhenren looked at him, and saw that he raised his hand, took out a jade box and opened it, revealing a bewitching blood-red lotus canopy inside.

"After receiving the news from the seniors a few years ago, the juniors went to the wild jungle and happened to encounter the vision of the maturity of the [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus]. ”

"Those lotus seeds in this lotus canopy are the result of the juniors throwing the corpses of a fifth-order middle-grade brute beast and two fifth-order middle-grade demon beasts into the blood pool to nourish the [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus] that has already bloomed. ”

"Now the petals of the [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus] have been devoured by the golden winged thunder eagle spirit pet of the junior, but this lotus seed junior doesn't know what its effect is, but intuitively feels that it shouldn't only be useful to demon beasts. ”

Zhou Yang held the lotus canopy in his hand and slowly explained the origin of this spiritual object.

He didn't say anything about the Colorful Peacock devouring two lotus seeds to advance to the fifth rank, because that didn't help him with what he wanted to know.

[Demon Blood Ancient Lotus] is of great use to demon beasts, he has known this for a long time, and he doesn't need to ask people to know that its lotus seeds must have the same effect.

After listening to his words, Qingyang Zhenren looked at him with strange eyes, and sighed with emotion on his face: "You kid is really lucky, such a good thing has happened to you!"

Then without waiting for Zhou Yang to ask again, he had already told the role of lotus seeds.

"The petals of the [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus] can promote the advancement of demon beasts, many people know this, but about the role of lotus seeds, very few people know, our Xuanyang Immortal Sect is also because there was an ancestor who happened to meet the blood lotus flower like you ten thousand years ago, and I saw the lotus seed appear by chance, and then I found all kinds of ancient books and asked the predecessors of the immortal cultivation world many times, and finally knew the role of lotus seeds. ”

"These lotus seeds, for demon beasts, are still great supplements that can improve their cultivation. ”

"And for us immortal cultivators, this lotus seed is a natural spiritual thing that restores essence and blood, with your cultivation in the Jindan period, even if the essence and blood are lost by more than half, taking a lotus seed can also recover intact. ”

"However, the biggest effect of this lotus seed is that it still acts as the main medicine of a sixth-order elixir [Blood Lotus Reincarnation Pill]!"

"The [Blood Lotus Reincarnation Pill] is a sixth-order mid-grade elixir, and its function is to help Yuan Infant Stage cultivators who have lost their physical bodies to recondense their physical bodies, and there is no need to do things that go against the righteous path such as taking away their bodies. ”

"Since the [Blood Lotus Reincarnation Pill] will use the essence and flesh of the Yuan Infant Stage Cultivator itself as auxiliary materials when refining, the flesh condensed through it is no different from the original body of the Yuan Infant Stage Monk, and there will be no rejection, and the negative impact on future cultivation will be almost none!"

"It's a pity, it's a pity that the pill of this [Blood Lotus Reincarnation Pill] is extremely rare, our Xuanyang Immortal Sect has never found this kind of pill in the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm at that time, and then it was more than five thousand years ago, when a senior of the sect traveled to the Donghua Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm, he accidentally learned that the top gate sect Immortal Hall in the Donghua Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm that was most proficient in alchemy had this kind of ancient recipe. ”

"The status of the Immortal Hall in the Donghua Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm is similar to the status of my Xuanyang Immortal Sect in the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm, although our senior came to the door with a heavy treasure to ask for an exchange for this ancient recipe, but the other party directly refused. ”

"The above is all that Lao Dao knows about the effect of the [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus] lotus seed. ”

After Qingyang Zhenren finished speaking, his mouth moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he held back and didn't say anything.

It's just that Zhou Yang is not blind, how can he not even see such an obvious situation.

When even took a deep breath to suppress the surprise in his heart, he took the initiative to speak: "If Qingyang seniors have anything to say, you can speak up, and the juniors are willing to listen to them." ”

When Qingyang Zhenren heard this, he just groaned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile and said: "Actually, there is really nothing bad to say, the old Taoist wants to ask you for two lotus seeds, and see if you can ask the Daoists of the Immortal Hall to help refine a furnace of [Blood Lotus Reincarnation Pill] in the future, in case of emergency!"

When Zhou Yang heard this, he immediately responded: "This matter is easy to say, the younger generations on the left and right don't use this thing much, it is rare that the seniors are willing to open the golden mouth, and the younger generations are willing to dedicate the remaining one-third of the lotus seeds to the seniors!"

After speaking, he stretched out his hand on the lotus canopy, and the five purple-red lotus seeds were shaken out by him with a skillful force and flew towards Qingyang Zhenren.

Raising his hand to catch the five lotus seeds flying in, Qingyang Zhenren's eyes flashed slightly when he looked at Zhou Yang, first shook his head, then nodded, and sighed helplessly: "Say, what do you want to exchange these lotus seeds for?" Lao Dao told you in advance, although these lotus seeds are precious, but in fact, they are not necessary for our existence, if your request is too difficult to do, Lao Dao can only say a word of love!"

A senior master like him, of course, will not take advantage of Zhou Yang's junior in vain, and if he receives lotus seeds, he will definitely have benefits in return.

If it was only two lotus seeds, the benefits he had prepared were just about right, but with five lotus seeds, he would be a little unable to handle those things.

That's why he shook his head just now.

"Seniors rest assured, what the juniors ask for is actually very simple, and it will never make it difficult for seniors to do!"

Zhou Yang grinned, and even said his request.

There are three things he asked for, one of which is that he wants Qingyang Zhenren to give him a piece of "Xuanyang Zixiao Divine Thunder" jade talisman for self-defense;

The second is to wait until the Colorful Peacock and the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle are promoted to fifth-order demon beasts, and ask them to help these two spirit birds refine the horizontal bones, so that they can speak and communicate with people;

The third was to ask him to help find a refining master in the Xuanyang Immortal Sect, help him refine that piece of [Yanxing Stone] into a fifth-order Dan furnace, and then help him refine the ten sixth-order Jiaolong scales and other materials that Lu Xuanji had given him into a fifth-order high-grade defensive magic weapon.

These three things are indeed not difficult things for Qingyang Zhenren.

The "Xuanyang Zixiao Divine Thunder" jade rune was originally a treasure that he was going to use to exchange two lotus seeds with Zhou Yang, and it was not too difficult to help the fifth-order spirit bird refine the horizontal bones, and he was fully capable of doing it.

As for the third thing, with the three extra lotus seeds in hand, he only needs to exchange the two lotus seeds to find a Yuan Infant Refining Sect Master to help Zhou Yang do it, and by the way, he can also send a favor and earn a lotus seed for nothing.

Therefore, after listening to Zhou Yang's request, his face immediately eased, and he immediately nodded and agreed.

So, Zhou Yang immediately took out the [Yanxing Stone] and the sixth-order Jiaolong scales, [Burning Sun Divine Iron] and other things and handed them to Qingyang Zhenren, and then took the "Xuanyang Zixiao Divine Thunder" jade talisman given by Qingyang Zhenren, quietly left the "Qingyang Cave" and returned to Xianyang City.

After arriving in Xianyang City, Zhou Yang first went to Xuanyang Pavilion and asked Sun Zhengbin, the chief treasurer of Xuanyang Pavilion, about the acquisition of "Cloud Grass".

The result made him very satisfied, after raising the price to four thousand lower grade spirit stones, only two or three years had passed, and Xuanyang Pavilion had already received nineteen "Cloud Grass".

If this rate continues, plus the inventory of the "Cloud Breath Grass" he already has in his hand, at most twenty or thirty years, the number of "Cloud Breath Grass" he has acquired will be enough for him to cultivate the "Dragon Nesting Skill to Avoid Robbery" to the Xiaocheng realm.

After paying all the spirit stones, Zhou Yang took all the "Cloud Grass" inventory in Xuanyang Pavilion, and then said goodbye to Sun Zhengbin and returned to the cave where Zhou Guangxiang lived.

"The situation has basically been figured out, war is inevitable, it's just a matter of time. ”

"A few juniors you brought this time, wait for you to let them all come over to see me, I will explain the situation to them, whether to stay or not, it is ultimately up to them to decide. ”

In the cave, Zhou Yang called Zhou Guangxiang to him, and after explaining a little about the danger that Chong Xuanshan was facing now, he said his own arrangement.

Chong Xuanshan is about to become a battlefield, and it stands to reason that it is not a good idea to let the monks of the Zhou family go over at this time.

But Zhou Yang also has his own considerations.

Sooner or later, the Zhou family will have to walk out of the boundless sand sea immortal cultivation realm, and sooner or later, the Zhou family monks will have to fight the enemy on the battlefield.

Now that there is such an opportunity, it is not a good thing for some Zhou family monks to accumulate this kind of experience in advance.

Zhou Guangxiang is also very supportive of Zhou Yang's idea.

To put it mildly, with one hundred and fifty Tsukidans in his arms, he didn't care if a few family Tsukidans would be lost on the battlefield now.

The Zhou family is no longer the Zhou family of hundreds of years ago.

In the current Zhou family, the number of Qi cultivation period monks has reached more than 2,000 people, as long as the source of foundation building pills is stable, it is completely possible to produce a steady stream of foundation building period monks in batches.

Rather than letting these foundation building period monks sit in the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm in the future, Zhou Guangxiang hopes that they will stay in the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm and fight for a better future on their own.

"I have something to tell you Uncle Nine, one of the three Qi cultivation clan members who followed his nephew this time is a fire and wood dual-attribute spiritual root qualification, and his nephew brought him here because he wanted him to follow Aunt Jiu to practice, learn alchemy, and train a second high-level alchemist for the family. ”

As if remembering something, after Zhou Guangxiang agreed with Zhou Yang's opinion, he changed his words and suddenly talked about it.

After Zhou Yang heard his words, he was slightly stunned at first, and then smiled happily: "This is a good thing, in addition to you, the family finally has a second clansman with the qualification of a high-grade spiritual root?" I agreed to this matter, and I will tell Ying'er that she will be willing to accept this child as an apprentice!"

With Uncle Nine's words, the nephew was relieved, and the nephew asked them to come over to meet Uncle Nine. ”

Zhou Guangxiang's heart was relieved, and he immediately smiled and retreated to find someone.

It didn't take long for the six Zhou family juniors who followed him to the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm to be brought to the cave mansion, and the juniors with the high-grade spiritual root qualifications were even received by Zhou Yang alone.

The second high-grade spiritual root qualification monk of the Zhou family is named Zhou Shengyu, who is only seventeen years old this year, and has a fifth-level cultivation of qi, and was born after Zhou Yang left the boundless sand sea cultivation immortal realm.

Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the Zhou family, was very flattered by the private reception of the ancestor of the Zhou family, and after kowtowing respectfully, he stood there a little restrained, and answered Zhou Yang's various questions honestly.

"The answer is not bad, it seems that you have done a solid job in your practice, this is very good, today Ancestor, I will give you a warning, no matter how good your qualifications are, you must be down-to-earth in your cultivation, pay attention to the foundation, and never blindly seek speed!"

In the cave, Zhou Yang's eyes swept over the young and immature junior in front of him, nodded with satisfaction, and said something that made the young man breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

He quietly raised his head and glanced at Zhou Yang's handsome face, which was exactly the same as the portrait hanging in the ancestral hall of the clan, and responded in a slightly excited voice: "The younger generation must remember the teachings of the ancestors. ”

Zhou Yang listened to the voice of this junior, and knew that this was another loyal "fan" who grew up listening to his own legends and admired him very much.

To be honest, with his current cultivation status, there is no need to engage in this kind of trick to unite people's hearts.

But he also knew that because of his merits and influence on the Zhou family, even if he didn't need to do it deliberately, this kind of thing would happen naturally.

Just like some of the famous ministers and generals who left great achievements in history in his previous life, even in the past thousands of years, there are still descendants who have a strong sense of admiration and worship for them after learning about their great achievements through history books.

"Alright, you can wait for the side. ”

Shaking his head, he didn't care about such a trivial matter, Zhou Yang asked the young junior to go to the side first, and the transmission made Zhou Guangxiang walk in with the other five juniors.

What made Zhou Yang and Zhou Guangxiang very relieved and satisfied was that after Zhou Yang explained the situation in Chongxuan Mountain, the five Zhou family monks finally agreed to go to Chongxuan Mountain to practice after some hesitation and thinking.

As a reward for making such a decision, Zhou Yang issued a foundation building pill to each of the three Qi cultivation period monks on the spot, and rewarded the three foundation building period monks with a fourth-order lower grade spirit rune.

Next, after Zhou Yang and Zhou Guangxiang explained some things, they returned to Chongxuan Mountain with six Zhou family juniors.

As for Zhou Guangxiang, he had one hundred and fifty Zhuji Dan and a "Purple Heart Chalcedony" on him, after all, he didn't dare to wander around the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm, and he had already decided to return directly to the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm after traveling in Xianyang City for half a year.

And after Zhou Yang returned to Chongxuan Mountain, he handed over the five Zhou family descendants other than Zhou Shengyu to Zhou Ronghua to bring, nominally these people are his own registered disciples, except for the Zhou family, no one knows their true relationship.

Zhou Shengyu was directly accepted by Xiao Ying as a second disciple the next day, and he would pass on the mantle of alchemy to him in the future.

However, his cultivation is still low now, and Xiao Ying is busy refining the natal magic weapon, so he can only set his name first for the time being, and then let Ye Yunshan, the senior sister, take the place of the master and disciple.

Zhou Yang didn't have time to worry about these little things, he learned from Qingyang Zhenren that the big war was about to start, and after knowing that the "Six Dao Alliance" would not attack again before figuring out Lu Xuanji's life and death, he directly entered the retreat secret room and took the elixir to impact the fifth layer of the golden pill.

The big war is imminent, and if the cultivation can add a layer, it will be more effective than any means.
