With extremely complicated feelings, Zhou Yang returned to the family alone.

Xu Song didn't know how much time it would take to study the underground ruins guarding array, so it was naturally impossible for him to accompany him in that kind of place, and Xu Song explained that some of the materials he needed to study the formation also needed to be collected after he returned to his family.

After he returned to the family, he only told a few insiders about finding the location of Zhou Xuanyu's mother and daughter, and then ordered people to collect the materials that Xu Song needed.

Nearly a year later, he collected all the materials and sent them to the underground ruins himself.

After sending the materials, Zhou Yang went to the new oasis where Zhou Guangxiang and the others were located, and used the empty boat to carry all the monks to the next new oasis construction site, and continued to build the second new oasis.

As for the new oasis that had been built, the monks of the Zhou family rushed there to take over the stationing.

A new oasis like this that has just been created is still very fragile in itself, and it requires immortal cultivators to cast spells from time to time to rain to maintain the vitality of the plants and trees on the oasis.

Later, after the ecological environment on these new oases is stabilized, the Zhou family will also migrate some mortals to establish small towns and villages on the oasis to settle.

When the time comes, the work of maintaining the ecological environment of the oasis can be taken over by these mortals.

After returning to Zhou's house after transporting materials and creating a new oasis, Zhou Yang officially began to retreat.

At this time, eight or nine years have passed since he returned to the Zhou family, and in these eight or nine years, he has been busy with various things, and his cultivation has inevitably slowed down a lot.

Now that everything is over, he also plans to retreat and improve his cultivation to prepare for the battle of Rhino Horn Continent more than 20 years later.

The time of retreat always passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, eight years of Zhou Yang's retreat had passed.

Eight years have passed, and his cultivation has not broken through to the fifth layer of the Purple Mansion, but he is not far from breaking through, and he will be able to succeed in another year or two of cultivation at most.

And the reason why he got out of the customs was because Zhou Guangxiang's cultivation had reached the ninth layer of foundation building, and he was preparing to open up the Purple Mansion.

Zhou Guangxiang is a high-grade spiritual root cultivator, and his cultivation speed is very fast, and because the Zhou family has Xiao Ying, a fourth-order low-grade alchemist, there is no shortage of all kinds of third-order spiritual pills.

After taking some pills, he was easily promoted to the ninth layer of the foundation building and began to open up the Purple Mansion.

"Have you really decided, if you don't use [Purple Heart Chalcedony], even if you are a top-grade spiritual root qualification, the success rate will not exceed twenty percent!"

"And once you fail, even if you have a elixir to help you recover, you will have to recuperate for at least ten years before you can hit the Purple Mansion again!"

In the Qianyang Cave, after Zhou Yang went out to meet Zhou Guangxiang, who came to visit, he was also shocked by the words of this nephew.

He had already prepared for Zhou Guangxiang the "Purple Heart Chalcedony" needed to open up the Purple Mansion, but Zhou Guangxiang came to the door this time to tell him that he would try to attack the Purple Mansion by relying on the "Purple Heart Chalcedony".

This really surprised him.

Of course, surprised to surprised, in view of Zhou Guangxiang's previous precedent, Zhou Yang immediately realized in his heart that this child wanted to pave the way for his sister Zhou Guangxiang.

The Zhou family now includes Zhou Guangxiang, there are a total of four foundation-building monks, but the newly built Zhou Guangtai and Zhou Guangqing are only on the second floor of the foundation, and they are still far from opening up the Purple Mansion.

However, Zhou Guangxiang is already a sixth-layer cultivator, and based on his age, he has no time to cultivate to the ninth layer of the foundation before he is two hundred years old, and he can still have a chance to impact the Purple Mansion.

At that time, the "purple heart chalcedony" in Zhou Yang's hand will definitely have to be used on her.

"My nephew has thought clearly, my nephew is still young, he is only one hundred and twenty-one years old this year, even if he fails to open up the Purple Mansion this time, there will be several opportunities to try in the future. ”

"And the nephew is not afraid to tell you Uncle Jiu, the nephew is actually ready for failure this time, and only by learning from this failure will he have a greater certainty of the next attack on the Purple Mansion. ”

"After all, you also know that the [Purple Heart Chalcedony] is not as great as the role of Tsukidan in building the Purple Mansion for his nephew!"

Zhou Guangxiang looked at Zhou Yang with a firm look on his face and said, he had already prepared his words.

When Zhou Yang heard his words, he was immediately silent.

Although he believed that Zhou Guangxiang was paving the way for his sister Zhou Guangxiang, he had to admit that Zhou Guangxiang's words also had their truth.

The monks in the foundation building period used the "purple heart chalcedony" to assist in opening up the Purple Mansion, and at most it could only increase the success rate by more than thirty percent, Zhou Guangxiang used this thing to assist in opening up the Purple Mansion, and the success rate was indeed not like the original foundation building, which could be increased to more than ninety percent through the Foundation Building Dan.

And as the saying goes, it's not up to you.

Zhou Guangxiang is also over a hundred years old now, and has also been the head of the Zhou family for decades, since he has made a decision on matters related to his own path, Zhou Yang, as an elder, forcibly opposing it will only hurt the relationship between the two.

"Okay, now that you've made a decision, Uncle Nine, I can't object, there is also a [Purple Cloud Pill] here, which can also provide you with some help, and this [Ghost Tear Stone] can improve the monk's divine sense, you can also take it to refine it!"

After Zhou Yang looked at him for a long time, he nodded slightly, but still agreed to his choice, and then raised his hand again, took out two spiritual objects and handed them to him.

The "Purple Cloud Pill" was refined by Xiao Ying, a total of four pieces were refined at the beginning, one was sold at auction, and there were three more in his hand, and now one is given to Zhou Guangxiang, and there are two more.

As for the "Ghost Tear Stone", this thing was obtained by killing the evil ghosts in the "Sealing Demon Cave", and the evil ghost resentment in it had already been purified by him asking Xu Song to take action, and the immortal cultivators refining this thing can slightly increase the strength of their divine consciousness.

However, Zhou Yang's own divine sense strength is very strong, and this thing is not of much use to him.

The person who can really make the most of this thing is Zhou Guangxiang, a ninth-layer monk who is about to open up the Purple Mansion.

As long as refining this thing increases the strength of one's own divine consciousness, it is equivalent to increasing the success rate of opening up the Purple Mansion in disguise, or is it permanent.

Zhou Guangxiang is also a person who knows the goods, and after hearing Zhou Yang talk about the role of the "Ghost Tear Stone", he immediately realized the preciousness of this thing.

He held the treasure given by Zhou Yang in his hand, and his face flashed with emotion, and when he knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to Zhou Yang: "Ninth Uncle is kind, my nephew can't repay it, please accept my nephew's worship!"

"Get up, you can rest assured that you will go to retreat, and I will help you watch the affairs of the clan. ”

Zhou Yang waved his hand, and he didn't want to put too much pressure on Zhou Guangxiang, so he sent him to retreat.

Zhou Guangxiang opened the Purple Mansion in retreat, and the duties of the patriarch of the Zhou family could only be performed by Zhou Yang, so it was naturally impossible for him to continue the retreat.

It just so happened that he hadn't been in charge of the affairs of the clan for some years, so he simply summoned a few deacons and elders to come over and inquire about the current situation of the family.

After more than ten years, most of the deacons and elders of the Zhou family have changed, and several of the new ones are "Tong" monks.

"Elder Taishang Mingjian, there are now 467 monks in the clan...... There are 42 Fu Zi generations, 191 foreign relatives and 43 guest monks. ”

The monk who served as the elder of the Zhou family has been replaced by Zhou Guangjian, a monk of the "Guang" character, who is a "young man" who is less than 90 years old.

After he took over as the Elder of Chuangong, it was the first time he was so close to Zhou Yang, the legendary figure of the Zhou family, and in the face of Zhou Yang's inquiry, he was a little nervous, but fortunately, the report on the data was quite accurate, and there was no big scandal.

"The number of monks has increased by more than 100 in more than ten years, this number is a bit too much, isn't it?"

Zhou Yang's eyes flashed with surprise, but he didn't care about the change in the junior expression, and his attention was all attracted by the number reported by the other party.

Although the population of mortals in the Zhou family has grown rapidly over the years, the population of hundreds of monks has increased in more than ten years, which is still a bit amazing, and he has to express his concern.

"Elder Taishang Mingjian, the reason for the large increase in the number of monks is mainly due to the surge in the number of daily visitors on the [Fengyue Tower] side in the half a year before and after the last big auction. ”

"There is also the rapid increase in the number of mortals in the family, and the number of babies with spirit roots detected each year has also increased to seven or eight. ”

"Finally, the monks of the Cantonese and Tongzi generations, who have the largest number of people in the family, have spread out in large numbers, and have also given birth to many offspring with spiritual roots. ”

Zhou Guangjian did his homework very solidly, and in the face of Zhou Yang's questions, after experiencing the initial panic, he quickly calmed down and explained the reasons for population growth for him in detail.

After Zhou Yang heard about this reason, he didn't know what he thought, and suddenly changed to a voice and asked, "Then do you know how many monks from [Fengyue Tower] occupy among all the monks in the family now?"

Hearing him suddenly ask this question, Zhou Guangjian's face changed, and he seemed to realize something.

But in the face of Zhou Yang's serious eyes, he could only quickly suppress the terrible thoughts in his heart, settle down, carefully recall various data, and continue to answer: "Back to Elder Taishang's words, according to the latest statistics obtained half a year ago, the existing [Fengyue Tower] monk population of the Zhou family is 264, of which 26 are ancestors from [Fengyue Tower], and 30 are from their fathers from [Fengyue Tower]. ”

"Nearly three-fifths of the people are from [Fengyue Tower]?"

Zhou Yang secretly said in his heart, but he realized a problem that he was almost overlooked.

That's the purity of the family bloodline!

In order to increase the number of monks in the family and increase the chance of genius monks, he would strongly support the opening of the "Fengyue Tower" to increase the number of monks in the family.

But now, the number of monks from the "Fengyue Tower" has accounted for three-fifths of the total number of monks of the Zhou family, and it is expected that the proportion will increase in the future.

This made Zhou Yang feel scared.

You must know that the monks from the "Fengyue Building", although they also have the blood of the Zhou family, they are all matrilineal.

And to be honest, most of the secular women of the Zhou family who are willing to go to the "Fengyue Tower" are people whose ancestors have not been immortal cultivators for more than four or five generations, and the bloodline of these people is very far away from the bloodline of the Zhou family monks.

But the main people in power of the Zhou family, such as him Zhou Yang, Zhou Guangxiang's brothers and sisters, and Zhou Guangqing, are all pure descendants of the Zhou family's monks, and their bloodlines are closest to Zhou Yuquan, the ancestor of the Zhou family.

Now the Zhou family is still on the rise, and perhaps no one is aware of the hidden dangers in it.

However, after the Zhou family occupied the Rhino Horn Continent, the family's power gradually reached its peak, and there was no way to rise, the contradiction between the monks from the "Fengyue Tower" and the original monks of the Zhou family would definitely be exposed.

At that time, no matter how many reasons Zhou Yang has to explain, there is only one thing about the origin of the "Fengyue Tower" among the monks in the foundation building period, and it will become a thorn in the hearts of the "Fengyue Tower" monks whose population has already accounted for the vast majority of the monks of the Zhou family.

Where there are people, there is strife, and where there are interests, there is intrigues.

The number of monks from the "Fengyue Tower" accounts for the vast majority of the total population of the Zhou family, but there are very few high-level monks, and when the time comes to compete for interests and resources within the family, this matter will definitely become a flashpoint.

Zhou Yang was extremely sure of this.

And he now has another layer of worries, that is, about the "bloodline god forbidden".

Zhou Guangxiang was already a third-order mid-grade formation mage, and when he was promoted to a fourth-order formation mage, he could arrange a formation with a "bloodline divine forbidden".

When the time comes, the Zhou family will definitely establish a secret vault guarded by the "Blood Divine Forbidden".

So here's the problem.

At that time, the secret vault guarded by the "Bloodline God Forbidden", which bloodline information of the Zhou family monks should be entered?

If the bloodline information of Zhou Yang and them, the authentic monks of the Zhou family, is entered, then it is almost impossible for the vast majority of monks from the "Fengyue Building" to pass through the secret vault guarded by the "Bloodline God Forbidden".

If the bloodline information of all the Zhou family monks is entered, then the protective effect of the "bloodline divine forbidden" will be impossible to talk about.

"What should I do? What should I do about this? How can I solve this hidden danger perfectly?"

Zhou Yang's mind was full of thoughts, and there was a rare look of anxiety in his eyes.
