Chapter 208: Whoever Counts People Counts People!
It will take at least two or three months for Huang Yi to build the foundation to produce results, so it is naturally impossible for Zhou Yang to protect him outside the cave.
However, because the three caves have been occupied, Zhou Yang is now forced to move to the courtyard where he used to live on the mountainside.
Naturally, he couldn't practice normally here, so he spent his time practicing the "Five Elements Birth and Death Sword Formation".
In his spare time, he would also give advice on the practice of the Zhou family's young monks, or help some Zhou family monks to refine magical weapons.
He even spent several days writing an article "Dong Ping's Cultivation of Immortals", changing Dong Jianping's name to Sanxiu "Dong Ping", artistically processing his life experience, and bringing some of the stories of Liuyunzhou's immortal cultivation world to life. The names of places and powers were replaced, and then it focused on describing the deeds of "Dong Ping" who must repay his kindness.
The Zhou family needs someone like "Dong Ping", and the world of cultivating immortals also needs someone like "Dong Ping".
Zhou Yang hoped that the Zhou family's monks could follow "Dong Ping" as an example, even if there was only one "Dong Ping" among a hundred monks, his wish to write this "Dong Ping's Cultivation of Immortals" would be fulfilled.
After nearly two months passed like this, Zhou Yang, who was practicing sword art on the mountainside that day, suddenly changed his expression and turned to look at the top of Yuquan Peak.
"Oh, it really made this kid surnamed Huang succeed?"
There was a strange look in his eyes, and Dang even set up his sword light and flew to the top of the mountain.
At this time, Zhou Yuanchen, who was making talismans in another cave, also sensed the abnormal fluctuation of spiritual energy on the mountain, and walked out of the cave in surprise.
"Ninth brother, who built the foundation in this cave? Is my Zhou family going to have another foundation builder?"
Zhou Yuanchen looked at Zhou Yang asking with a look of surprise and surprise, and the expression on his face was joy from the heart.
"After all, my brother is reliable, even if I go to Huangshamen, my heart is still towards the family!"
Zhou Yang looked at Zhou Yuanchen who had a surprised face, and felt a burst of emotion in his heart.
He nodded, then shook his head again and said: "The person who established the foundation is Huang Yi, the husband of Twelve Sisters. This man has a bad temper, so he can only be used, not confidant!"
"I understand. It's inconvenient for me to say anything about this matter. Since you know what the ninth brother knows, then that's fine."
Zhou Yuanchen nodded slightly, but wisely, he didn't say much.
After all, he is a monk of Huang Shamen, so he is not suitable to participate in the management of the Zhou family's affairs. Otherwise, Zhou Yang would not have invited him to several family meetings, not even the original foundation ceremony.
"It's fine for me to watch over here. Brother Yuanchen, go back and make talismans. After you finish making talismans, my younger brother will personally send you back to Huangshamen!"
Zhou Yang did not intend to let Zhou Yuanchen intervene in the family affairs. This was not because he wanted to become a dictator, but to avoid suspicion.
As a monk of Huang Shamen, if Zhou Yuanchen interfered in the Zhou family's family affairs, even if the members of the Zhou family had no idea, Huang Shamen would definitely exile and punish him after learning about it.
The sect belongs to the sect, and the family belongs to the family. This is the basis for the coexistence of the sect and the family.
As for his saying that he wanted to send Zhou Yuanchen back to the Yellow Shamen, it was not a polite word, but after Huang Yi succeeded in building the foundation, he really had to go to the Huang Shamen and exchange the "Nether Blood Deed" from the Huang Shamen's treasury to let him go. It was signed, and there was also the matter of exchanging for the fourth-tier defensive charm, which had to be done.
In the next few days, Zhou Yang waited outside the cave on the top of the mountain.
And Huang Yi walked out of the cave with a full face after initially stabilizing his cultivation after the "spiritual energy infusion".
"Congratulations, you actually won the bet!"
Zhou Yang looked at Huang Yi who walked out of the cave full of vigor and vigor, his eyes flashed strangely, and then he congratulated with a light smile.
No matter how he planned to arrange this Huang Yi in his heart, now that the other party has just successfully established the foundation, it is still necessary to send a congratulatory word.
"I would also like to thank you, Patriarch, and the ancestors of the family for your foundation building experience. If you hadn't carefully studied those foundation building experience, I am afraid that it would be difficult for anyone to survive the second test!"
Huang Yi said with a hint of fear in his eyes, and the complacent expression on his face finally restrained a little.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang just nodded, then looked at him and asked: "According to the rules of my Zhou family, after establishing the foundation, you can directly choose one of the exercises in the family's collection to practice, then have you thought about establishing the foundation?" What kind of exercises will you practice in the future?"
Huang Yi was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and then he cupped his hands and said, "Patriarch Mingjian, Huang hasn't thought about this matter yet, can I wait for Huang to look at the exercises collected by the family before making a choice?"
The Zhou family was also on guard against him before. Apart from lending him the foundation building experience to study, he was not allowed to enter the scripture cave. He really didn't know what exercises the Zhou family had collected to practice after foundation building.
"The really important inheritance of the family's exercises are all kept by the Supreme Elder himself. I only have a list of exercises here. You should study it yourself first. After you choose it, let me know. I will ask the Supreme Elder to pick it up for you. Come."
Zhou Yang said, and handed a jade slip made in the past few days to Huang Yi.
Huang Yi's spiritual root attribute is biased towards earth and gold. There are four types of exercises suitable for his practice in the Zhou family's collection, but Zhou Yang only recorded two types in the jade slips for him, so he doesn't really have many choices.
Sure enough, after Zhou Yang waited for less than half an hour, he heard Huang Yi say: "Patriarch, Huang has made his choice, and I will practice the "Golden Body Jue of Guarding the Land"."
"Are you sure? I want to remind you that although the power of this "Shoutu Golden Body Jue" is great, it is quite difficult to practice, and every month you have to absorb the Qi of Shutu and Gengjin to temper it. Exercise your body, when the two kinds of spiritual energy are moving in your body, the pain will not be much less than the pain you experienced in the foundation building level!"
Zhou Yang looked at Huang Yi, not surprised by this person's choice, but he had to say what had to be said.
"It's just a pain in the area, just to use this to temper my Dao heart!"
Huang Yi grinned, as expected, he didn't take Zhou Yang's reminder to heart at all.
"In this case, you wait for me here, and I will go and get you a copy of the exercise of "Shoutu Jinshen Jue", and then you can retreat here and switch to this exercise!"
Zhou Yang nodded slightly, and even went to the scripture cave, took a copy of the exercises from his father Zhou Xuanzhen who was sitting there, and handed them to Huang Yi, and then watched him re-enter the cave to retreat and practice exercises.
He looked at Huang Yi who walked into the cave with an excited face, and murmured to himself: "You chose the road yourself. If you regret it in the future, don't say I didn't give you a chance at the beginning!"
He gave Huang Yi two choices, one is to choose a low-level exercise that can only be cultivated to the purple mansion period, although the power of this exercise is not as powerful as the "Golden Body Jue of the Land" It is an intermediate-level exercise that can be practiced to the golden core stage, but it is safe and stable.
However, since Huang Yi chose "The Golden Body Jue on the Land", it shows that this person has great ambitions, and he is not willing to stop at the foundation building stage.
Originally, this was not a bad thing, on the contrary, it was a good thing to be encouraged.
But Huang Yi was wrong. His surname was not Zhou, and he didn't have any intention of integrating into the Zhou family.
This can be seen from the fact that he has always called himself "Huang" in front of Zhou Yang.
This kind of self-proclaiming seems to be nothing, but in connection with his identity as a son-in-law, we can know what this person is thinking.
For this kind of ambitious person who is unwilling to integrate into the Zhou family and wants to use the Zhou family's financial and material resources to help him practice, Zhou Yang, as the patriarch of the Zhou family, will of course not be polite to him.
Therefore, what Zhou Yang didn't tell Huang Yi was that although the exercise "Shoutu Jinshen Jue" is powerful, it not only cultivates mana, but also tempers the body, but it has a fatal flaw.
That is, the monks who practice this "Shoutu Golden Body Art" will gradually lose the emotions of normal people as they absorb the Qi of Shutu and Gengjin to temper their bodies more times, and at the same time, their lifespan will also be longer than ordinary people. Basic monks have decreased by 20 to 30%.
This is also the biggest reason why the power of this exercise is not inferior to most advanced exercises, but it is only an intermediate exercise.
Huang Yi chose to practice this technique, seemingly gaining great strength, but in fact he cut off the path to progress.
After dealing with Huang Yi's matter, Zhou Yang went to Haoyang Mountain again, because Zhou Yuanzhen, Huang Yi's nominal wife, was still there.
"Second Sister, Huang Yi has succeeded in building the foundation. What are you going to do in the future? Do you want to rebuild your life with him, or continue to maintain the current situation?"
On Haoyang Mountain, Zhou Yang found Zhou Yuanzhen, the twelfth younger sister who was catching bugs in Linggu in Lingtian, and told him the news of Huang Yi's success in building the foundation.
Now the monks of the Zhou family almost all know that the relationship between the two exists in name only, but under the restraint of the high-level family, no one dares to discuss this matter openly.
But private discussion is definitely not forbidden.
Otherwise, Zhou Yuanzhen wouldn't have gone to Haoyang Mountain to hide for peace.
"Ninth Brother, I think this is fine now. Now that he has established his foundation, I am even more unworthy of him. Please help me bring him a message. I will allow him to take a concubine and have children among secular mortal women of the Zhou family. Other than that, I have nothing to do with him."
Zhou Yuanzhen raised her head, looked at Zhou Yang's handsome face that hadn't changed for decades, she was slightly absent-minded, then quickly lowered her head, and whispered her decision.
"Hey! Brother Jiu is sorry for you!"
Zhou Yang let out a long sigh, his face full of apology.
He understood Zhou Yuanzhen's decision, let alone a cultivator, even an ordinary mortal woman would be filled with resentment if she was deceived by her chosen husband in this way.
Only she knew exactly how much psychological pressure Zhou Yuanzhen had endured in the past ten years.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but reached out and patted Zhou Yuanzhen's fragrant shoulder and said, "Twelve sisters, don't worry, that kid will pay the price for what he did. Since you don't want to go back to Yuquan Peak, you can rest assured here in Haoyang Let’s practice in the mountains, if you want to go home and have a look, you can go back anytime.”
After speaking, he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly reached out to pat the storage bag, and a pill bottle appeared in his hand.
"Well, brother Jiu didn't bring you any presents when he came back this time. There is a bottle of [Yangyan Pill] here that your sister-in-law bought at the time, so I'll give it to you as a present. I'll take it easy in the future, and your life will go away." Halfway through, don't affect your mood and health because of Huang Yi's bastard."
When Xiao Ying bought this bottle of "Nourishment Pill", he even talked about it, but she never thought that it would come in handy one day.
Seeing Zhou Yuanzhen's surprised and joyful expression after taking the "Nourishment Pill", Zhou Yang's mood improved a lot.
