The death of Zhang Liang, the only formation master of the Zhou family, indeed caused quite a stir within the family.
The main reason is that he only completed the layout of the forbidden formation of the level of [Tianyi Qinglong Formation] a few years ago. He has made a big splash among the array masters in the entire Jingguo Immortal Cultivation World, and has also won many Zhou family monks.
of admiration.
At the same time, he is the first person after the Zhou family's New Deal to obtain the status of an elder as both a Zifu Qi cultivator and a formation master, and he is also a relative.
These two things in themselves are enough to make him attract attention within the family.
And when Zhou Mingde personally announced the decision to ensure that all his descendants would have the Foundation Establishment Pill during his funeral ceremony, it directly raised his reputation to a new height.
This decision shocked many monks of the Zhou family, but also shocked monks such as Xu Fu and other relatives.
Before this, none of them, the relatives, could believe that the Zhou family would make such a promise because of a certain monk!
For some reasons that are well known in the Zhou family's circle of relatives, the Zhou family usually treats these relatives and monks equally and does not treat them badly.
However, in the competition for some important strategic resources, the monks who are relatives of them are all at a lower level than the monks of the Zhou family.
Generally speaking, unless they have really good qualifications or have made outstanding achievements, they basically cannot think of switching to important resources such as foundation-building pills and assistance in developing purple mansion spiritual objects.
[Yuan Yuan Building Fruit] This kind of spiritual object that is useful for foundation building is the best foundation building resource that most foreign monks can enjoy.
Of course, even this is better than being in a small family or being a casual cultivator.
So before that, these relatives had very complicated feelings towards the Zhou family.
They were immediately grateful for the generous treatment and various opportunities provided by the Zhou family and were full of motivation.
But at the same time, I felt dissatisfied and regretful that I could not truly enjoy the best resources of the Zhou family.
Under the influence of this complex emotion, these relatives formed two groups.
Some people feel that they cannot get the same treatment as Zhou family members anyway, so they simply lie down. In addition to fulfilling some obligations that Zhou family members and relatives must do, they usually concentrate on enjoying themselves. From time to time, they invite some friends to a restaurant and order a table of soul food.
Have a meal, eat and drink, or go to those colosseums to gamble and have a good time.
Others are unwilling to sink, and have been trying to use the Zhou family's platform to improve themselves, hoping to be able to fight their way out.
Let’s not say more about the former kind of people. It is impossible to judge whether they are good or bad. After all, they just don’t want to fight, and they have not failed to perform their duties and obligations.
The latter kind of people may not be a good thing for the Zhou family.
After all, once these people really get over it, they are likely to vent their inner dissatisfaction in some way one day in the future, creating great potential dangers for the Zhou family.
Even if they do this, they may not cause huge losses to the Zhou family, but it will still be detrimental to the family.
Because of this, Zhou Mingde, Zhou Xinyan and others who really controlled the family did not dare to give these people too many opportunities before, fearing that they would raise white-eyed wolves again in the future!
They chose to do this, and it cannot be said that they did it wrong.
After all, the Zhou family is always the Zhou family of the Zhou family. If you insist on giving the same treatment to the monks and relatives of the Zhou family, you are digging up your own roots and will only shake your true and largest fundamentals.
No cultivating family would do this.
On the other hand, those monks who are dissatisfied cannot be said to be ungrateful.
After all, when they obtain resources from the Zhou family, they actually put in their own sweat and blood. As a result, even though they put in more blood and sweat, they still cannot get the same treatment as the monks of the Zhou family. How can these capable people be allowed to do so?
People are convinced!
Fortunately, the Zhou family had Xu Fu, a cultivated elder of the Jindan period who was a relative, as a golden signboard. He could also comfort those capable monks and let them see some hope, so as not to completely intensify the conflict.
But if there is no better motivation method and better solution, when these foreign monks are stuck in the late stage of foundation building or the late stage of Zifu for a long time, they will find that it is impossible to go further, and they will find that their lifelong struggle is just
At this point, I can no longer get any rewards from the Zhou family.
It’s hard to tell what these people will do!
In this case, Zhang Liang, like Xu Fu, was once a role model among the monks of the Zhou family. After his death, the funeral ceremony was carried out in accordance with the standards of the Jindan elders of the Zhou family, and he was personally informed by the ancestors of the Zhou family.
The promised ten lives guarantee.
This move undoubtedly greatly shocked the foreign monks and allowed them to see another way to reward themselves without making their efforts in vain!
Indeed, due to the scarcity of special resources, the Zhou family may never be able to give their relatives and monks the same treatment as their own monks.
This is a fact that they do not want to accept but must exist.
Unless they can overthrow the Zhou family, this fact cannot be changed!
Then, if this fact cannot be changed, they may choose to accept the reality and work hard in another direction.
As monks who are relatives, they basically all have descendants, and those descendants all have the blood of the Zhou family, and basically all of them have the surname Zhou. They are the monks of the Zhou family who are on the Zhou family tree.
As monks of the Zhou family's own clan, these descendants will be paid the same treatment as the monks of the Zhou family's clan in the future, and there will be no shackles called "surnames" on them.
In this way, they may be able to let their children and grandchildren achieve the realm that they themselves cannot achieve.
Perhaps a few years later, their children and grandchildren will also become the elders of the Zhou family and form their own faction within the Zhou family!
If you can use your own efforts to win three generations of wealth for future generations, that is also an excellent thing!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This may be a choice made out of desperation, but it is also a choice that is relatively acceptable to them.
After all, if you can't compete with certain people, then you should compete with future generations. This is a thought that has been rooted in the blood of the human race since ancient times.
"This is an unexpected surprise."
When Zhou Daoyi informed Zhou Chun of the findings of his investigation, he also nodded slightly and made his judgment.
Hearing his judgment, Zhou Daoyi nodded repeatedly and said: "It is indeed an unexpected surprise, and since there is a Zhang Liang, maybe we should give up some of the past prejudices and give more people like Zhang Liang who know how to be grateful and sincere.
A chance for a capable monk."
"Anyway, now that you, Zhengchun, are in charge of the family, even if there are a few more Jindan monks with other surnames in the family, there is no need to worry about them turning the world upside down!"
Zhou Chun couldn't help but look askance at such words when they came out of his mouth.
All along, the people in the Zhou family who are most wary of their relatives are Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi.
Now that even he has relented, it can be seen that Zhang Liang's words before his death still had the effect of powerful medicine, truly reversing some of their stereotyped ideas.
"Is this also Zhang Liang's intention?"
Zhou Chun's eyes flashed slightly, and he couldn't help but think too much.
However, he soon stopped thinking about how likely this was, because it was impossible for him to go to Zhang Liang for verification.
Now I just need to be happy for the change in Zhou Daoyi's ideas.
At that moment, he said with emotion: "Uncle, you can think so, and the younger generation is also very happy. The sea is open to all rivers, and tolerance is great. Our Zhou family should break the old shortcomings and rebuild the new world now, so that the Zhou family can not only become the Zhou family's Zhou family."
The family can also become the Zhou family for all those who work for the Zhou family!"
"I will keep your words in mind, Zhengchun. I hope I won't trust anyone else this time!"
Zhou Daoyi nodded slightly, his words full of emotion.
Seeing this, Zhou Chun knew that he might still need some positive feedback to truly resolve the previous knot, so he silently wrote down the matter.
After a slight change in his concept, when Zhou Daoyi was managing the family, his attitude towards some outstanding people among the relatives and monks quickly changed, and he also took advantage of the situation to convey through these people the changes in the family's upper class towards the entire group of relatives.
For a time, this news was also heatedly discussed among the relatives, triggering many speculations.
On the other hand, the ordinary Zhou family monks didn't have any opinions on this.
The Zhou family is currently in a period of rapid growth. As long as the family monks are willing to work hard and have talent, various resources can be exchanged from the family.
Even if the upper echelons of the family allocate some resources to the relatives and monks, they will not take away their share, and of course they will not become evil people.
After all, the other half of the maternal relatives are brothers and sisters of the same clan, and those people must be very happy that their Taoist companions can live a better life within the family.
Some of the core clansmen and elders of the Zhou family who can take a long-term view know that such a major event must be approved by the clan leader. Even if they have some thoughts in their hearts, they will not reveal it for the time being.
All in all, these are the best times for those monks who are currently serving the Zhou family!
There are two fifth-level beings, Master Chunjun and Lord Silver Dragon, sitting on it. The family treasury is filled with various visible rare spiritual resources. As long as you work hard to practice and do tasks to gain good deeds, you can easily exchange what you need from the family.
thing.
This kind of good treatment is something that small and medium-sized cultivators and casual cultivators would never dream of envying.
…
Yunzhou, Chenyue Lake.
Yunzhou has a dense water network and numerous rivers and lakes. Chenyue Lake is not particularly famous among the many lakes.
This lake is not large in area, with only one or two hundred miles of water, but the depth of the lake is extremely deep, and the deepest point can even reach a thousand feet!
After the entire Yunzhou was occupied by monsters and turned into a monster realm, Chenyue Lake also became the habitat of some monsters from Longyuanze.
There are currently three species of monster beasts that inhabit Chenyue Lake, namely the blue-eyed black toad, the dark cloud crocodile, and the black-headed dragon.
Among them, the black-headed dragon clan has a relatively strong dragon bloodline, and their offspring can be promoted to the second level when they reach adulthood. When they break through the third level, they have a lower chance of turning into an ink dragon.
Therefore, this clan has become the boss of Chenyue Lake, occupying the underwater spiritual vein in the center of the lake, where the third-order black-headed dragon that failed to transform into a dragon lives and sits.
In fact, both the Blue-eyed Black Toad and Black Cloud Crocodile clans have a little bit of Black Dragon blood, so they can live next to each other in Chenyue Lake with the three-headed Black Dragon. Although there are no third-level monsters in the clan, they also have some second-level monsters.
Level monster.
Of course, there are certainly not only these three kinds of monsters in the huge Chenyue Lake and the surrounding vast land, but it is difficult for other monsters to form large groups. They can only occupy a few places as nests and rely on their three tribes to survive.
.
It was night, on the east bank of Chenyue Lake, by a shallow beach where the river and the lake met, several human monks were carefully lurking in a forest on the shore, looking at the water grass beach a hundred feet away with their eyes wide open.
As the full moon rose and it was late at night, on the shallow beach under the soft moonlight, two huge black figures gradually emerged from the water and squeezed into the grassy beach where the water was less than half a foot deep.
With the help of the moonlight, several human monks in the woods could easily see the two huge black figures clearly.
They are surprisingly black-headed dragons with two heads and a body length of more than seven feet!
The appearance of black-headed dragons is very ugly. Their heads look like snakeheads, and their mouths are full of sharp teeth. However, their bodies are as long and narrow as dragons, covered with black dragon scales, and they also exude an indescribable stench.
.
This kind of monster usually likes to rest at the bottom of deep water lakes, and basically does not come to the shallow water areas of the lake, with one exception.
That’s when the eggs are laid after mating!
The black-headed dragon may really have the blood of the snakehead dragon. They can lay hundreds or even thousands of eggs at a time!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But it is impossible for all these fish eggs to become black-headed dragons.
Under normal circumstances, the eggs laid by the black-headed dragon will hatch quickly, and then the hatched fish will start to kill each other and devour other siblings until there are only single digits left among them, and they will be released by their parents.
Separate them and stop this cannibalism.
The reason why black-headed dragons come to shallow water areas during the spawning period is to avoid being harmed by other members of the same species.
Because the black-headed dragons will kill each other from birth, the relationship between the same clan is not very good.
If other black-headed dragons discover that their own species is laying eggs nearby, after smelling the smell, they are likely to awaken their blood instinct when they were born to devour those small fish.
Therefore, when the black-headed dragon lays eggs, it will try to avoid the deep water areas where other members of its species inhabit, and go to safer shallow water areas to lay eggs.
This grassy beach was the place chosen by two black-headed dragons many times. Before this, they had come here many times to inspect and drive away and kill all the monsters in the surrounding waters of twenty to thirty miles.
Even on the shore, they have been inspected.
In this case, after two black-headed dragons entered the grassy beach, the male dragonfly immediately rolled in the grassy beach and flattened the water plants with his body, creating a temporary nest suitable for laying eggs.
Then the female black-headed dragon entered the temporary nest and laid eggs.
While the female black-headed dragon lays eggs, the male black-headed dragon stands guard and guards.
In just a quarter of an hour or two, the female black-headed dragon laid thousands of eggs the size of broad beans.
These eggs are translucent, and a black embryo as big as a tadpole can be seen inside.
Under the illumination of the moonlight, the embryos in these fish eggs seemed to have produced some kind of chemical reaction, and they grew up little by little visible to the naked eye.
Just over an hour passed, and the first black-headed dragon seedling began to swim in the water, wagging its tail.
And it had just swam for more than ten breaths when it suddenly and ferociously attacked another seedling next to it that had not yet fully grown.
This scene was watched by two adult black-headed dragons, but they had no intention of stopping it and just watched indifferently.
Time passed slowly, and the number of seedlings hatched from thousands of fish eggs was rapidly decreasing in the fierce fighting.
By the time it was close to dawn, the number of seedlings in the water had dropped to single digits.
At this time, each of the several seedlings already weighed five or six kilograms.
At this time, the two adult black-headed dragons who had been watching for half the night took action, stirring up the water to separate the red-eyed cubs.
At the same time, the female black-headed dragon opened her mouth to spit out, and a black ink-like liquid spit out from her mouth, divided into several parts and poured towards the separated cubs.
After the cubs were wrapped in the black ink-like liquid for a while, they soon gradually calmed down and no longer wanted to attack the siblings around them as frantically as before.
At this point, the egg-laying process of the two black-headed dragons is complete. They can take their young back to their nests deep in Chenyue Lake and slowly raise these young to grow up.
But just as they were about to leave, several magical weapons and magical lights suddenly flew out from the woods on the shore and focused fire on them.
This time, the two black-headed dragons were caught off guard, and because they had to protect the cubs, they could only scream and hold up a dark aura to resist the attacks.
However, when they managed to withstand the attacks despite being injured, they saw several human monks coming up with several second-level monsters similar to them.
After a fierce battle, the two black-headed dragons were all killed on the spot without exception.
And their cubs, which were just one day old, were caught alive by several human monks using a fishing net and magic weapon.
"There was a lot of movement just now, and it will definitely alarm the nearby monsters. Let's take the body and retreat first, and then leave the area around Chenyue Lake first!"
Among the several human monks, a tall female monk in black seemed to be the leader, and she quickly gave the order in a low voice.
Then a group of four people put all the spiritual pets into the spirit animal bag, rolled up the bodies of the two black-headed dragons and put them into storage bags, and quickly took the young black-headed dragons and left the lake.
Soon after, the four people reunited in a cave a hundred miles away from Chenyue Lake and began to distribute the spoils.
In the cave, the female cultivator in black glanced at the other three companions, two men and one woman, and said slowly: "Let's talk about the harvest first. There are two black-headed dragon corpses, both of which are second-level middle-grade.
There are also six cubs of the black-headed dragon among the monsters."
At this point, she paused slightly, and then continued: "I discovered the place where the two black-headed dragons lay their eggs. For this reason, I have been squatting around Chenyue Lake for two years, and the same happened to the male black-headed dragon just now.
I killed them with my own hands, and I formed this team myself, so I alone get 50% of the harvest, do you have any objections?"
After hearing her words, the expressions of the other three people suddenly changed, but they all seemed to have some scruples, and no one was willing to refute.
After being silent for a while, another female cultivator in green spoke up and said: "Sister Wang, you have made great contributions. Of course we don't deny it. It's just that you alone have half of the harvest. Isn't it too much? We are here for this hunting mission.
, but it’s all at the expense of more than two months of cultivation time!”
As the female cultivator in green said, she also glanced at the man in green beside her.
But what disappointed her was that the man in green didn't seem to notice her signal and remained silent.
As for the other man in black, she didn't look at it at all. He was a Taoist companion of the female cultivator in black, so it was impossible for her to speak for her.
Seeing this situation, she couldn't help but anxiously urged the man in green: "Brother Yuanxin, please say something."
Unexpectedly, the man in green, Zhou Yuanxin, ignored her, but looked at the female cultivator in black and said: "The family has long had a rule that the clan members will cultivate a new population of valuable monsters for the family, which can be used as an outstanding contribution to obtain some rare resources.
, Sister Wang, do you want to use these black-headed dragon cubs to exchange for help from the family to open up the purple mansion spiritual items?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Hearing this, the female cultivator in black couldn't help but look at him deeply and said: "Yuan Xin, you are a smart person, and I never thought that I could hide this matter."
Come on, that’s what I planned.”
Seeing this, Zhou Yuanxin immediately nodded and said: "It's better than this. Sister Yuanqin and I don't need the six cubs of the black-headed dragon, but the two corpses of the black-headed dragon belong to the two of us. Sister Wang, you
What do you think?"
"this……"
The face of the female cultivator in black changed slightly, she couldn't help but hesitate, and she quietly looked at the Taoist monk aside.
Seeing this, the man in black quickly said in a deep voice: "Just do as Brother Yuanxin said. Madam, your matter of opening up Zi Mansion is more important!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yuanxin immediately looked at the female cultivator in green and asked, "Sister Yuanqin tribe, do you have any objections to this distribution method?"
"No, Brother Yuanxin, I am very satisfied with your distribution method."
A smile spread across the face of the female cultivator in green, and she changed her previous anxiety and agreed.
The corpse of a second-level mid-level monster, and the corpse of a black-headed dragon with a good dragon bloodline, was undoubtedly a great gain for her who was still in the early stages of foundation building.
Seeing the female cultivator in green like this, she had no problem with it. The female cultivator in black immediately bowed her hand towards Zhou Yuanxin and said, "Thank you so much to my brother Yuanxin. I wish your thunder lizard beast can survive with the help of the black-headed dragon corpse."
Successfully promoted to the second level mid-level monster!"
"My younger brother also wishes that, Sister Wang, your dreams will come true and you can successfully exchange for assistance in developing spiritual objects in the Purple Mansion!"
Zhou Yuan smiled knowingly and returned the salute with a smile.
After reaching the distribution agreement in this way, the four of them took a short rest and left Yunzhou together, returning to the Qinglian Mountains.
When they returned to Qinglian Peak, the black-dressed nun and his wife went to see Zhou Daoyi, who was in charge of clan affairs, and presented the black-headed dragon cubs.
Zhou Yuanxin and Zhou Yuanqin went to Zhou Yuanxin's residence.
"Sister Yuanqin tribe, thank you for your cooperation this time, otherwise it would be really troublesome to get the bodies of the two black-headed dragons."
When there were only two people left in the room, Zhou Yuanxin also smiled and took the storage bag containing another black-headed dragon corpse from Zhou Yuanqin's hand and expressed his gratitude to him.
At this time, Zhou Yuanqin changed his previous impatience and said with the same smile: "Brother Yuanxin is too polite, it's just a trivial matter."
After saying that, he looked at Zhou Yuanxin expectantly and said, "Brother Yuanxin, did you really not lie to me before? Is your colorful pheasant really about to lay eggs?"
"Of course it's true. How dare I talk nonsense about such a big thing!"
Zhou Yuanxin looked solemn and replied with a serious face.
After receiving his affirmative answer, Zhou Yuanqin's heart immediately returned to his stomach, and then he congratulated him from the bottom of his heart: "Then little sister will congratulate brother in advance. Brother don't forget to promise to little sister when the time comes.
It’s a promise!”
"Don't worry, sister, I will definitely leave you a colorful pheasant egg when the time comes."
Zhou Yuanxin smiled softly and made a promise with a smile.
After the two chatted for a while, before Zhou Yuanqin left, Zhou Yuanxin couldn't help but warned Chun Chun, the clan girl: "Although Sister Wang has a foreign surname, after all, she has a high-grade spiritual qualification and is good at doing things."
He is capable and highly appreciated by Elder Xu. This time he will be assisted to open up the spiritual objects of the Purple Mansion, which should be a sure shot. Sister Yuanqin tribe, you'd better be more modest in front of her in the future!"
When Zhou Yuanqin heard this, his expression changed slightly, and then he smiled lightly and said, "I understand, if she really succeeds in opening up the Zi Mansion, I will naturally be willing to keep a low profile and be a coward when I see her in the future."
It was obvious that he was still a little unconvinced by this statement.
But Zhou Yuanxin could only stop there. He couldn't say more, so he could only shake his head slightly and watch her leave.
Then he returned to his residence, looked at the two storage bags containing the black-headed dragon corpses on the table, and couldn't help but have a fiery look in his eyes.
"With the corpses of two black-headed dragons as supplements, there should be no problem in the advancement of the thunder lizard beast. With the second-level mid-level colorful pheasant and the second-level mid-level thunder lizard beast at hand, there should be no problem.
, after my cultivation reaches the late stage of foundation building, it should be easy to pass my application for the redemption qualification of [Purple Dust Pill]."
At the same time, in Zhou Chun's cave, he had just received the information from Master Tianjing, and his expression suddenly became serious.
"Is it finally starting?"
Zhou Chun murmured to himself, with anticipation in his eyes.
