Chapter 406: The Women of the Zhou Family
After 30 years of hard work, we have completed the construction of 15 artificial oases, and now we can create a new oasis in two and a half years at the earliest, thanks to our proficiency in the construction process. ”
"In this way, counting the second construction team that started to build an oasis from the Rhino Horn Continent, in a maximum of fifteen years, the twenty-five oases you planned can be completed and put into use. ”
On an oasis under construction in the vast sea of sand, Zhou Yang, who came all the way from Rhino Horn Island to inspect the oasis construction work, was listening to the report of Zhou Guangxiang, the chief manager of the Zhoujia oasis construction work.
Since being assigned by Zhou Yang to participate in the construction of the oasis 30 years ago, Zhou Guangxiang has been rooted in the front line to lead the oasis construction team to build a new oasis, and the number of times he has returned to the family in the past 30 years is only a handful.
And because he spent as long as 30 years on the construction of the oasis, Zhou Guangxiang's cultivation completely stalled during this time, and he is still building the foundation of the seven-layer cultivation.
"Xiang'er, Uncle Nine has asked you to build an oasis here for thirty years, accompanied by yellow sand and soil all day long, don't you have any ideas in your heart?"
Zhou Yang looked at the middle-aged woman in front of him who had aged a lot due to long-term exposure to the sun, rain and wind and sand, and his eyes were full of brilliance.
It seems that the women of the Zhou family are destined to be associated with creating an oasis.
At the beginning, his eighth aunt Zhou Xuanyan was ordered by the family to stay for more than 20 years to create the Haoyang Mountain Oasis, that is, the Siyan Oasis.
Now Zhou Guangxiang is also on his orders, and for 30 years, he has been creating one oasis after another in this boundless sea of sand far away from his family.
"It's impossible to say that you didn't have an idea in mind at first. ”
However, after reading the oasis construction notes left by Aunt Xuanyan's grandmother over the years, and feeling the selfless dedication of their generation to the family, she also figured it out. ”
"Compared with those ancestors who have worked hard for the family all their lives, what is the value of my niece to build an oasis in this sea of sand for 30 years?"
"If it weren't for the sacrifices of these family ancestors, if it weren't for the leadership of Uncle Jiu, Xiang'er would have died more than 20 years ago, how could he build a foundation and successfully live to this day?"
"Xiang'er and my brother are deeply favored by the family, and they are deeply favored by the Ninth Uncle, don't say that you let Xiang'er build an oasis here for thirty years, even if you let Xiang'er fight with the fourth-order demon beast, Xiang'er has nothing to say!"
Zhou Guangxiang looked at Zhou Yang with resolute eyes, and responded to his questions in a low and powerful tone.
After Zhou Yang heard her calm and powerful words, his face flashed with joy, and he couldn't help but applaud again and again: "Okay, okay, Uncle Jiu really didn't see the wrong person, Xiang'er, you can say this, it means that you are really enlightened!"
"You can rest assured, Uncle Nine, I will never treat the meritorious people in the family badly, the dedication you have done for the family, Uncle Nine, I see it in my eyes, there will definitely be your benefits in the future, and I will never let you suffer!"
Meritorious service will be rewarded, and mistakes will be punished, this is Zhou Yang's concept of governing the family.
Zhou Guangxiang has made meritorious contributions to building an oasis, and he will not be stingy with rewards.
Of course, now that the new oasis has not been fully built, his reward will not fall for the time being, so he can only give Zhou Guangxiang a psychological expectation first, a reason for her to continue to persevere.
After inspecting the construction of the new oasis, Zhou Yang returned to the Rhino Island retreat.
It was only after two years that he left for the Chihu Mountain Oasis to attend the auction.
Because it started building momentum two years in advance, this big auction attracted more people than last time because of the participation of Huangshamen.
For this reason, the Zhou family had to increase the entrance fee to the auction hall, and if they wanted to participate in the auction, they not only needed to have at least the cultivation in the late stage of Qi training, but also had to pay the entrance fee of ten lower-grade spirit stones.
For a late-stage Qi cultivation cultivator, ten lower-grade spirit stones were not a big expense, and the price of a second-order high-grade spirit rune was more than that.
But the number of spirit stones is not small, if you are unlucky, the income of a casual cultivation for half a year may not exceed this number.
So after having this threshold, the auction hall built by the Zhou family was finally not crowded.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't enter the auction site to participate in the auction, in order to enliven the atmosphere, the Zhou family will arrange a special person to broadcast the auction inside the auction hall in real time.
Naturally, in order to protect the privacy of guests, the broadcast will only explain how many spirit stones the auction item was sold for, and will not explain who it fell to.
And because Huangshamen took out seven Zhuji Dan to sell, the Zhou family did not sell the Zhuji Dan at this auction, but exchanged it for several kinds of spirit pills that could improve the cultivation of monks in the foundation building period, as well as the fourth-order lower grade spirit runes drawn by Zhou Yang himself.
Those elixirs are good to say, many elixirs are not unique to the Zhou family, and some related foundation building monks can buy them from Huangshamen or other third-order alchemists.
But the fourth-order spirit rune is different, for a foundation building family, this thing can be regarded as a treasure that can be passed down as a family heritage.
Therefore, many Tsuki-based monks are not in the same way that Tsukidan's enthusiasm for bidding for this item is not below Tsukidan.
Zhou Yang released a total of five fourth-order lower spirit runes, three attack spirit runes and two defense spirit runes, and finally earned 100,000 spirit stones by relying on these five spirit runes.
This is also to cultivate the immortal realm in the boundless sand sea, and if it is replaced by the Liuyun Continent immortal cultivation realm, a fourth-order lower grade spirit talisman is worth 10,000 lower grade spirit stones if it breaks through the sky.
At the end of this big auction, the total number of spirit stones earned by the Zhou family was still more than 500,000 spirit stones.
"Thank you for participating in the second auction held by the Zhou family, thirty years later, we will still hold the third auction, and we will still welcome you to visit at that time. ”
"At the same time, Zhou also has a happy event to announce to all Taoist friends, that is, seven days later, the wedding celebration of Zhou Guangxiang, the current patriarch of my Zhou family, and Liu Xuanxuan, the apprentice of this seat, will be held on Chihu Mountain, and all Taoist friends are welcome to watch the ceremony and celebrate. ”
At the end of the auction, Zhou Yang, who was on the scene, got up as soon as possible and loudly announced the news that the Zhou family was going to hold a celebration.
This news has been notified to some good friends in advance, and this time it is announced here, mainly to inform those unaware loose cultivators.
At this time, because of the big auction, the number of foreign monks on the Chihu Mountain Oasis was nearly 10,000, and after Zhou Yang announced the news, many monks who were originally going to leave changed their plans and decided to wait a few more days before leaving.
So on the day of the celebration, the number of monks gathered up and down Chihu Mountain really exceeded 10,000.
Fortunately, the Zhou family is not what it used to be, and there are a large number of spirit valleys and spirit wine stored in the family all year round, so there is no embarrassment that the pot cannot be opened.
And the name of this "Ten Thousand Immortal Celebration" also spread throughout the boundless sand sea immortal cultivation world with the return of the participating monks, and became a boast capital that many monks often put on their lips.
Naturally, as the protagonists of the celebration, Zhou Guangxiang and Liu Xuanxuan, a Taoist couple, have also become the envy of many young boys and girls.
A wedding celebration can attract ten thousand cultivators, and this kind of thing has not appeared in the boundless sand sea cultivation immortal realm for many years.
In the past, only after the monks of the Purple Mansion of Huangshamen formed a golden pill, they would hold the "Ten Thousand Immortals Conference" to accept the worship of ten thousand cultivators.
After the celebration, Zhou Guangxiang and his wife, who were newly married to Yan'er, were left by Zhou Yang to sit on Chihu Mountain and do great things, and he himself took the Taoist couple Xiao Ying and another apprentice, Lu Xuewei, to live and practice in Rhino Horn Island.
"Xue Wei, you are practicing ice exercises, it is difficult to find the ice spirit vein that is suitable for your cultivation in this boundless sand sea cultivation immortal realm, and the cold qi emitted from this cold spring can barely be regarded as ice attribute aura, in the future, you will practice by this cold spring, if you have any questions about cultivation, you can also ask the teacher and your master for advice nearby." ”
In the cave, Zhou Yang took his apprentice Lu Xuewei to the cold spring that he often used to refine and quench, and pointed to the cold spring and told him his arrangements.
Lu Xuewei is only forty-six years old this year, and according to the longevity of the two hundred and forty-year-old monks in the foundation building period, she is still a young girl who has just reached adulthood.
A few years ago, Xiao Ying refined a furnace of fourth-order lower grade spirit pill "Zhuyan Pill", Dancheng only had three, except for Zhou Yang and herself, the remaining one fell into the hands of Lu Xuewei and was taken by him.
Therefore, if nothing else, until Shou Yuan is exhausted and falls, her appearance will remain the same as it is now.
Because of the practice of the ice system advanced exercise "Ice Spirit Sutra", she exudes a cold breath all the year round, and her skin is as white as frost and snow, and she has won the reputation of "Ice Spirit Fairy" in the circle of Zhou family monks in private, and the suitors are as unknown as the carp crossing the river.
However, not to mention that she herself doesn't look down on those mediocre people at all, let's just say that Zhou Yang will definitely not allow her to fall in love with someone and become a Taoist couple at this time.
is different from Liu Xuanxuan, for Lu Xuewei, Zhou Yang really treats her as a personal disciple, and his expectations for this disciple are naturally very high.
Over the years, don't look at the things that guide Lu Xuewei's cultivation, Xiao Ying has been doing, but in fact, there are not a few things that he, the master, has done for him.
Not to mention anything else, after the end of this big auction, he specially entrusted Zhang Yunpeng to buy some ice attribute elixirs and elixirs from the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm to help this disciple complete the cultivation of the foundation building stage as soon as possible.
In Zhou Yang's opinion, in addition to himself, the entire Zhou family, Lu Xuewei's possibility of succeeding in the future is even higher than that of his Taoist companion Xiao Ying.
For such a genius disciple who is expected to marry Dan, his requirements are naturally very strict.
This time, I brought her to Rhino Horn Continent, not only because this cold spring here is really suitable for her cultivation, but also to isolate her from those monks of the opposite sex, lest she really be stirred by the rhetoric of some monks of the opposite sex and destroy her future.
