Cultivation Begins From The Desert

When flying through the oasis passages formed by twenty-five man-made oases, Zhou Yang saw scenes that he had imagined in his mind for a long time.

Just like the service areas on the highways in his previous life, based on twenty-five man-made oases, a large number of monks who explored the sand sea went in and out of those oases, or sold their own exploration of the sand sea to the shops opened by the Zhou family on the oasis. At that time, you can obtain spiritual items, or buy bigu pills, detoxification pills, Shengjizhixue pills and other spiritual pills and various consumable magical amulets from the store.

It is not as easy for low-level monks to explore the sand sea as the foundation-building monks. Their storage bags have limited capacity, and the various food and water they can hold at one time can only supply them for a few months or half a year in the sand sea, so they must calculate Control the depth of exploration and reserve the consumption when returning.

Moreover, there are many monsters in this undeveloped sand sea. Once encountering a battle, unless it is a first-order monster that can be crushed, fighting with the same-level monster will consume some of the magic talismans in the hands of monks. and elixir.

Once these elixirs are exhausted, they must return to the twenty-five oasis strongholds to replenish, otherwise they will easily die in the sand sea when they encounter a strong enemy.

And these supplies are on the twenty-five man-made oases, and only the Zhou family can provide them.

There are also some shrewd low-level cultivators who found this business opportunity and sold similar things at a slightly lower price like the merchants in the mortal kingdom, but they could only drink a sip of soup from it, and the Zhou family made the most of it.

At the same time, Zhou Yang also saw two migrating mortal teams. The mortals in these two teams were all sitting on the sand camel carts, pulled by the Shatuo beast and heading towards Rhino Horn Island. There were more than a dozen Zhou Jialian in the team. Qi period monks participated in the escort.

One of the teams has already traveled a quarter of the way, and the number of personnel has also decreased by nearly 10%. Most of the people in the team have a look of exhaustion, and many people's eyes are full of worry and regret. , seems to be worried about this bumpy journey and regrets embarking on this road of no return.

The latter team just set off and has not yet reached the first artificial oasis. The people in the team are full of energy, and their eyes are full of yearning and expectation for the legendary Rhino Horn Island, which has fertile land. A whole new life after there.

Endless steamed bread with white flour, endless fresh white milk, and fragrant roast mutton...

These scenes were captured by Zhou Yang, but they were no longer able to make his mood fluctuate.

After more than two hundred years of life experience, he has become accustomed to seeing life and death, and his heart has become as hard as iron.

Those mortals in the migration may be very pitiful, and the mortals who died on the road are even more innocent.

But so what?

The world is so cruel. If you want to live well and live more comfortably than others, you have to work harder and pay more than others.

The Zhou family cultivator did not use false propaganda to deceive these mortals. If they can reach Rhino Horn Island alive, those beautiful fantasies can be realized.

Rhinoceros Island is rich and fertile, so that they and their descendants will not have to worry about food and drink for one or two hundred years.

And if they stayed in their original places, they would still have to live a rationed life, with food, drink and clothing being strictly fixed and distributed according to their work.

The path is their own choice, whether it is life or death, and they can only resist it themselves.

Even if Zhou Yang's current cultivation base and mana are already the top few people in the boundless sand sea and immortal world, he can't help these people in this matter.

After flying all the way for more than ten days, Zhou Yang arrived at Chihu Mountain.

"Nephew (disciple) pays respects to Ninth Uncle (Master)!"

"My nephew and grand-nephew visit the elder Taishang!"

On Chihu Mountain, Zhou Guangxiang and Liu Xuanxuan, who learned of Zhou Yang's arrival, had already led a group of Zhou family elders to wait for him.

This time the Zhou family held a family meeting. Except for Zhou Guangxiang and Pang He, the two foundation-building cultivators, who needed to sit in Xijiao Island and Yuquan Lake Oasis, the rest of the Zhou family's foundation-building cultivators rushed to Chihu Mountain.

At this time, the number of Zhou family cultivators gathered on the Red Tiger Mountain had exceeded 800.

Because of the large number of participants, Zhou Guangxiang urgently ordered the original council hall to be demolished in the past few months and built a larger and more magnificent new council hall that could accommodate thousands of people for meetings.

Zhou Yang glanced at the group of juniors who came to greet him, and a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

Today's Zhou family is really full of talents. Every generation has a foundation-building cultivator, and there are more than one person.

And it's all thanks to him.

It was he who single-handedly brought the small family whose inheritance was in danger of being cut off, and led it to the scale it is today.

Now, seeing the most outstanding talents of the Zhou family gathered together to welcome him, he could feel a little bit of the feeling of starting a sect and establishing a sect and honoring him as an ancestor.

To the Zhou family, although he is not the founder of the sect, he is the real ancestor of ZTE.

His prestige in the Zhou family and his contribution to the Zhou family have already surpassed any ancestor, including the ancestor Zhou Yuquan who founded the Zhou family.

Even if he is in seclusion all the year round and does not appear to others, and he is not in the Zhou family, there are legends about him everywhere in the Zhou family.

"Hehehe, everyone, get up, I will go to the ancestral hall to worship our ancestors, and then I will talk to you in detail later."

Zhou Yang laughed and waved his hand lightly, even if he was saying hello to this group of juniors.

With his seniority and cultivation base there, he doesn't need to be polite to these juniors at all. Excessive politeness will make these juniors uncomfortable, and it does not conform to the character of his family's "old ancestor" in the hearts of the clansmen.

Next, Zhou Yang, as he said, first went to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors of the Zhou family, and then went to the cemetery to visit the graves of his parents, Zhou Minghan, Zhou Xuanyu and other close elders.

During this process, only Zhou Guangxiang served behind him.

Zhou Yang called Zhou Guangxiang to the top of Chihu Mountain to question him only after the sacrifice was done to sweep the graves of the elders.

"Guangxiang, you already know the reason for the family meeting this time. How are you doing?"

"In the words of Uncle Jiu, after fifteen years of mining, nearly half of the [Forbidden Stone] mine has been mined, and the ore obtained is enough to build the treasure house."

"As for the nephew himself, the [Bloodline Divine Forbidden] nephew has already fully understood most of it, and it will take two or three years at most to fully grasp it and use it in the treasure house guarding formation."

……

Silence.

After Zhou Yang heard Zhou Guangxiang's words, he was silent for a while without speaking.

After a while like this, he asked faintly: "Do you think Uncle Ninth is doing the right thing? Is it really necessary to use the blood of the strong to distinguish the main house from the side branches?"

"My nephew doesn't dare to lie about this!"

"But no matter what Uncle Ninth you want to do, your nephew will firmly agree with and implement your decision."

"My nephew believes that no matter what you do, Ninth Uncle, the starting point must be for the good of the family and the good of all the clansmen!"

Zhou Guangxiang looked at Zhou Yang respectfully, and his words were full of trust and admiration for Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang seemed to have known for a long time that he would say this. He didn't show any joy on his face after hearing the words. He just shook his head with a complicated expression and sighed: "Hey! Ninth Uncle, I know, this decision is actually For the family, there is no benefit, and it may even fall into the infamy of splitting the family!"

"But Ninth Uncle, I understand better that as the family continues to grow, if we continue to adopt the current system, if one day, Ninth Uncle and I are not in the family for a long time, you or your successor will not have the power to overwhelm the whole family. Prestige, as long as there is an introduction, the family will be plunged into civil war and division."

"Instead of passively suffering a split civil war in the future, it's better to take the initiative now. At least this way, the initiative is still in our hands. With the prestige of my ninth uncle, we can suppress all voices of resistance and let them honestly follow the rules we set."

"In the short term, this change will bring some damage to the family and reduce the cohesion of the family."

"But in the long run, with the increase of the various branches of the family, even if we are gone in the future, even if our main branch becomes a branch, the Zhou family will still be the Zhou family, and will not die due to civil strife and split!"

Zhou Yang muttered to himself, and the look in his eyes gradually became firmer.

He firmly believes that the decision he made was not a wrong decision.

Whether it is the thousand-year-old family he knew in his previous life, or the Jindan family or even the Yuanying family that he learned about in the Floating Cloud Continent Cultivation World, they are not like the Zhou family now, and they are not prioritized~www.wuxiamtl.com ~It all depends on a family ancestor like him to maintain the existence of the family.

Half a month later, the Zhou family's family meeting was officially held.

The monks attending this meeting are all monks from the Zhou family, and there are a total of 821 people, including Zhou Yang and Zhou Guangxiang, two Zifu monks, Zhou Yuanyao, Zhou Guangqing, Zhou Tongyao, Zhou Tonghua, Zhou Tongmin and Zhou Fuyun. Elder Ji, as well as seven deacon elders and hundreds of other people.

At the beginning of the meeting, Zhou Guangxiang, the patriarch, first asked about the family's personnel and finances.

Zhou Yang was just listening in.

"Currently, there are 927 cultivators in the family, 489 cultivators from foreign relatives, and 143 cultivators from Keqing."

"Among them, there are three monks in Zifu, ten monks in foundation building, one hundred and twenty-five monks on the ninth level of qi training, 337 monks in the late stage of qi training, and cultivators in the middle stage of qi training..."

"The total number of secular mortals in the family is about 4.2 million, and the number of foreign mortals is about 860,000!"

"At the same time, the family now has seven vassal family building foundations, namely the Huang family, Ma family, Guo family, He family, Yu family, Xie family, and Luo family, and nine vassal Qi training families, namely Lu family and Li family. ,Lin……"

"These vassal families have a total of eight foundation-building cultivators, two of them from the Huang family, and another 597 qi training cultivators, all of whom can be used by my Zhou family to guide me!"
