Chapter 424: Zhou Yang's thoughts

In the celebration of the 400th anniversary of the Zhou family, the ceremony of worshiping the heavens is important, but there are not many monks who can really go to the scene to watch the ceremony.

But the "Treasure Hunt" is different.

The Zhou family does not have any restrictions on the cultivation of monks who participate in the "Treasure Hunting Conference", any monk under the age of 60 can sign up to receive a number plate as long as he symbolically pays a lower grade spirit stone, and then according to the number plate drawn to the pairing for a separate duel, the winner enters the next round, until the top 20 are determined.

By the time Zhou Yang and these important figures came from the Red Tiger Mountain to the martial arts arena specially prepared by the Zhou family at the foot of the mountain, there were already more than 20,000 immortal cultivators gathered here.

"This martial arts arena has been reinforced by the formation arranged by Zhou Guangxiang, the patriarch of my Zhou family, the fourth-order formation master, and has a special formation to protect it. ”

"However, I need to remind you that when you are fighting, although there will be a foundation building monk of my Zhou family to take care of you, there is no guarantee that you will be able to save you in time, so if you find that you are not defeated, it is best to take the initiative to admit defeat. ”

"Once one party takes the initiative to admit defeat, the other party must not make another move, otherwise not only will the results be immediately cancelled and disqualified, but also the Zhou family will be listed as persona non grata and refuse to enter any oasis and Fang City of my Zhou family!"

"Also, second-order spirit runes can be used in the fighting method competition, but it is strictly forbidden to use third-order spirit runes and third-order puppet beasts and other things that exceed the strength of the qi training period, and the violators will be disqualified from the results and disqualified!"

"In the end, although we will not conduct a bone age test on the winners now, if the monks who finally won the top twenty want to receive a reward from my Zhou family, they must pass the bone age test and prove that their age does meet the requirements before the reward will be issued, and those who try to fool the pass will be punished by abolishing the cultivation, so if anyone of you is lucky, it is best to return the number plate in your hand now!"

On a huge square martial arts arena covered by an earthy yellow light mask, Zhou Tongming, the deputy hall master of the Zhou Family Battle Hall, was announcing the rules of the fighting method to those who had signed up for the "Treasure Hunting Conference" outside the arena.

According to Zhou Yang's request, the two "Treasure Hunting Conferences" will be held first without any identity restrictions, and then it will be the turn of the Zhou family monks.

This arrangement is, of course, so that the monks of the Zhou family can increase their own fighting experience and comprehend their own shortcomings by watching the fighting methods of outsiders, so that they can perform more brilliantly in the next fighting methods.

And not long after Zhou Tongming announced the rules of the fighting method, because of the arrival of Zhou Yang and others, the "Treasure Hunting Conference" competition officially began.

Originally, there were more than 12,000 monks who signed up for this "Treasure Hunting Conference", but after Zhou Tongming's last warning, there were as many as 1,000 lucky people who were so frightened that they gave up the number plate in their hands.

To verify whether a person is over sixty years old, all you need to do is cast a special third-order low-grade spell "Bone Touching Technique" by a monk in the foundation building period.

These people who gave up originally thought that it was impossible for the Zhou family to test everyone's "bone touching technique", so they wanted to gamble with luck, and even if they were discovered, they only needed to insist that they might remember the wrong age, and at most they would be disqualified.

However, they didn't expect that the Zhou family would punish those who tried to fool those who wanted to pass the customs by abolishing cultivation.

For an immortal cultivator, there is probably no punishment more serious than this, and no one really dares to take this risk to gamble their lives.

At this time, after Zhou Tongming announced the start of the "Treasure Hunting Conference", he immediately read out the names of the first team of monks according to the lottery number plate.

"Zhang Meng, No. 1312 in Group A, against Yang Fei, No. 421 in Group B!"

Suddenly, a powerful and tall middle-aged man of the seventh layer of Qi training, together with a middle-aged female cultivator of the eighth layer of Qi training with a good face, walked through the formation shield and walked into the martial arts arena, and then directly released the magic weapon to fight with each other.

Because of the low mana of the Qi cultivation period, the fighting time of the cultivators will not be too long, and there are restrictions on the venue, even if some people want to drag on by moving, it will not work.

So in the past thirty breaths, the mighty and tall Zhang Meng was pierced through the defensive shield by a golden hairpin from the middle-aged female cultivator Yang Fei, and pressed the tip of a needle against his chest.

"The fairy is a good means, Zhang admits defeat!"

Glancing at the golden hairpin on his chest with an ugly face, the mighty man Zhang Meng didn't waste much time, he directly admitted defeat and put away his magic weapon and walked out of the ring.

Next, the second team of monks whose number plates and names were read immediately jumped on the martial arts arena and began to fight.

Although, the fighting methods of these low-level cultivators in the Qi cultivation period were full of mistakes and omissions in the eyes of Zhou Yang and other Purple Mansion cultivators, and they were not worth mentioning, and they were a bit bland and tasteless.

But the Qi cultivation monks in the audience watched it with relish, and from time to time there were cheers, which could be said to be never tired of watching, and they didn't care about the passage of time at all.

After two days of this, all the monks competed in the first round, and more than 5,000 people were decided.

Then another day passed, and the second round was also finished, and more than 2,000 people qualified.

The next day passed, and after the third and fourth rounds, there were only more than 600 people who were still qualified to continue to participate.

By the time the sixth day of the competition had passed, the top 20 had finally been selected.

As Zhou Yang expected, among the top twenty monks, sixteen of them were from various immortal cultivation families, and there were only four monks from scattered cultivation.

Naturally, these monks who were able to enter the top twenty were all ninth-level Qi cultivators.

Because they had been fighting for five consecutive days, these twenty people were in a somewhat tired mental state, so they were given two hours of rest before the final match.

At this time, Zhou Yang, who had not spoken much, suddenly looked at Chen Ping'an and the other monks and smiled: "Chen Daoyou, Nie Daoyou and Yan Daoyou, who do you three think will be the first place this time?"

The three people he named were all patriarchs of the Zifu family, and each family had juniors in the top twenty, among which the Chen family and the Yan family each had two people out of the line.

"Although there is a suspicion of boasting, Yan believes that the person who won the first place in the end must be Yan Shuanghua of my Yan family!"

While Chen Ping'an and Nie Qiufeng were still thinking about how to answer Zhou Yang's words, Yan Nantian, the head of the Yan family, was full of confidence and supported his own children.

Speaking of which, Zhou Yang has also dealt with the Yan family of Huohuling.

At the beginning, when he was still cultivating in the foundation building period, when he was summoned by Xiao Bufan, a monk of the Purple Mansion of Huangshamen, to use the "seven-colored cloud smoke" for distress in the sand sea, he once fought hand in hand with a Yan family monk named Yan Yunfei, and was later requisitioned by Xiao Bufan to the Chihu Mountain Oasis to guard the Huangshamen here.

It's a pity that Yan Yunfei was unlucky, and when he encountered the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle attacking the Chihu Mountain Oasis, he unfortunately fell here.

The current Yan Nantian, in terms of age, should still be Yan Yunfei's son and nephew.

"Yan Dao is friendly and confident, but Chen is also more optimistic about my Chen family's Chen Yunsheng. ”

Chen Ping'an came back to his senses at this time, and he also smiled and stood up for his juniors.

"Nie is not as confident as the two Daoists, in the previous battle, Nie has already seen that with the strength of my Nie Hansha, whether he can enter the top three depends on luck, and he can't compare to the geniuses of the two Daoists!"

Nie Qiufeng shook his head, and whispered these words with a hint of bitterness on the corner of his mouth.

This time the Zhou family's "Treasure Hunting Conference" attracted the attention of the younger generation of cultivators in the entire Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm, and these families also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to let their outstanding descendants come out to see the world, and by the way, see if they could get the Tsukidan reward.

It's just that the juniors who have high hopes for their own family are obviously lagging behind the other two younger juniors of the Zifu family in terms of strength, which makes Nie Qiufeng feel good in his heart.

Although the strength of strength does not mean everything, but at today's "Treasure Hunting Conference", the weak are equivalent to losing an opportunity to obtain Tsukidan, and losing an opportunity that may affect a lifetime.

At this time, Zhou Yang, who was asking, smiled indifferently and said: "Those Taoist friends might as well make a bet with Zhou, let's each give a third-order treasure as a bet to press a monk, if whoever wins in the end, how about this bet as a special reward for that monk?"

"Oh, then I don't know who Zhou Daoyou wants to bet?"

Chen Ping'an's eyes flashed, and he looked at Zhou Yang with blazing eyes and asked.

"Don't say that Zhou doesn't give face to a few Taoist friends, Zhou will win the first place if he presses that loose cultivator Li Hong!"

A smile flashed on Zhou Yang's face, and he did not shy away from saying who he was optimistic about.

"This person is a casual cultivator, and he can be so valued by Zhou Daoyou, it seems that Chen has lost his eyes before!"

Chen Ping'an's eyes flashed with surprise, and he looked at a black-robed middle-aged man who was closing his eyes and recuperating at the bottom of the martial arts arena, and that person was the scattered cultivator Li Hong in Zhou Yang's mouth.

Zhou Yang didn't want to say anything, but asked with a smile: "How about it?

"It's just a third-order treasure, since Zhou Daoyou has this Yaxing, Chen is naturally willing to accompany him. ”

Chen Ping'an retracted his gaze, bowed slightly, and immediately responded.

Then Yan Nantian also said confidently: "Yan also gambled." ”

"Although Nie is not optimistic about the junior of my family, but people are fighting for a breath, and the left and right are just a third-order treasure, and Nie will naturally not be disappointed. Nie Qiufeng groaned slightly, and also responded with a smile.

"Okay, let's wait and see. ”

Zhou Yang smiled with satisfaction, and made a decision on the spot.

Then he glanced slightly and looked at another person who had been silent not far away, and that person was Zhang Yunpeng, the current head of Huangshamen.

This "Treasure Hunting Conference" also had the participation of monks from Huangshamen, but they were just ordinary disciples who had little strength, and no one from Huangshamen's really powerful Qi cultivation period monks came.

The reason Zhou Yang also knew that it was Zhang Yunpeng who didn't want those people to come.

There is no shortage of Zhuji Dan in Huangshamen, and as long as there are some talented monks, they can now easily obtain Zhuji Dan from within the sect.

As far as Zhou Yang knows, in the past 20 years, the number of monks who have successfully built a new foundation in Huangshamen has reached 30, which shows how much money Zhang Yunpeng has invested in it.

"Families and sects are different after all, even if Huangshamen declines, it can open its doors to attract outside geniuses to join, and it is not afraid that people will disagree with them. ”

"On the other hand, we families have to be cautious even when recruiting a guest monk, for fear of recruiting a white-eyed wolf who is not familiar with it. ”

"In this treasure hunting conference, there are a lot of young cultivators with good strength, and our Zhou family can take advantage of this opportunity to investigate and recruit more people to fill in the number of fighters among the low-level monks of the family. ”

Zhou Yang's heart moved, but another idea came up, and then when he transmitted the message to the patriarch Zhou Guangxiang, he asked him to gather all the female cultivators in the family who were interested in recruiting sons-in-law, and when the "Treasure Hunting Conference" was over, he would take this opportunity to hold another recruitment conference to see if he could catch a few potential Golden Turtle sons-in-law.
