Chapter 214 The Wish of the Old Patriarch
The ancestors of the Chen family prepared for a long time, once the "Qingyang Spiritual Fire" came out, there was no reason for the "gold-eating beast" to escape.
And as the "gold-eating beast" let out an unwilling roar and fell to the ground dead, Zhou Yang and the ten foundation-building stage monks who worked hard to maintain the formation were also relieved, and everyone's face was full of exhaustion.
Although it was only a battle that lasted half a day, and the ten of them were not the main combatants, it was rare for them, foundation-building monks, to have a battle last so long.
Perhaps only Zhou Yang is an exception.
He fought against the "beast tide" attack in Zhenyue Fairy City back then, and fought continuously for several days and nights. Although that kind of continuous battle was not really endless, it was certainly much more intense and difficult than today's battle.
So even though he was exhausted, he immediately rushed to Zhou Minghan's side with his exhausted body, and supported the pale old man.
"Great-grandfather, are you alright? I have healing pills here, take the pills to suppress the injuries first!"
He supported the old man to sit down slowly, and quickly took out the healing elixir from the storage bag and fed it to the old man.
Zhou Minghan is over two hundred and ten years old, and he may not show anything in normal times, but after being injured, it is definitely not as easy to recover as when he was young.
He took the healing elixir fed by Zhou Yang, and didn't say anything, just sat down cross-legged with his body propped up, and began to practice the exercises to refine the medicinal power.
After nearly an hour passed like this, he spit out another big mouthful of blood, then waved his sleeve to wipe the blood stains from the corner of his mouth, and said to Zhou Yang in a low voice: "Don't worry, this injury won't be worse than the old man's." Fate, just rest for a few years after returning home."
Resting for a few years means that the time for the Zhou family to open and expand the new oasis will be postponed for a few years, but the number of mortals in the Zhou family is already about to explode.
Both Zhou Minghan and Zhou Yang knew this, so although they didn't say much, they hated the old ancestor of the Chen family's killing with a knife in their hearts.
It has to be said that the purpose of the ancestor of the Chen family to attack the Zhou family was achieved. Although Zhou Minghan did not die at the hands of the "Gold Devourer", the development of the Zhou family was slowed down because of his actions.
"It's really thanks to you Minghan this time. If you hadn't blocked the [Gold Devouring Beast]'s attack, someone would have died here today. This reminds the old man that you were the one who hunted the fourth-order monster last time." Weakened the beast's strength with a poisonous needle, so no one was dragged into the water before his death, you are really the lucky star I am waiting for!"
While Zhou Yang and Zhou Minghan were talking, the ancestor of the Chen family saw Zhou Minghan wake up, and also walked over, looked at Zhou Minghan with a look of emotion and thanked him.
It's just that these words sounded so harsh to Zhou Yang's ears.
He glanced at the ancestor of the Chen family, then lowered his head again, afraid that he could not help but yell.
In contrast, Zhou Minghan was much calmer.
I saw Zhou Minghan reached out to pat the storage bag, took out the piece of "Taiyi Fine Gold", held it in both hands and handed it to the ancestor of the Chen family respectfully, saying: "Don't dare to be praised by the ancestor, you can kill [Gold Devourer] Beast], it all depends on the ancestors who predict things like a god, and the supernatural powers are amazing, what the younger generation did is really worthless, this thing is now returned to the original owner, please take it back."
When the ancestor of the Chen family heard his words, his eyes flashed strangely, and then he waved his hand with a smile on his face and said: "There is no need to take it back, the old man never thought that this thing can be taken back, Minghan, can you get it from [ Gold Devouring Beast】Keep this thing under its mouth, it means that this thing is destined for you, let this be the old man's reward for your coming forward this time!"
"How can it be done! The ancestor is willing to reward such a precious thing, but the younger generation dare not accept it. Please take it back!"
Zhou Minghan shook his head again and again and refused to agree, he raised his hands a little more, and handed the things in his hands directly to the ancestor of the Chen family.
Seeing this, the ancestor of the Chen family waved his hands again and again and said: "Minghan, what you said is wrong! I see that your cultivation base is only one step away from opening the Purple Mansion. If you succeed in opening the Purple Mansion, this [Taiyi Fine Gold] It just happened to let you refine a fourth-order flying sword for self-defense, so you should accept this thing!"
"The kindness of the old ancestor, this junior appreciates it, but the junior's promotion to the ninth floor of foundation building is all thanks to the help of the elixir. This life is hopeless, so this junior really doesn't need it. Please take it back from the old ancestor." !"
Zhou Minghan unabashedly said that he used the power of the pill to break through the situation, and he was determined to refuse to accept this piece of "Taiyi fine gold".
Seeing that he said that, the ancestor of the Chen family couldn't say anything more, so he could only put away the piece of "Taiyi fine gold" and nodded to him: "Since you insist on this, Minghan, I will I won't force you anymore."
Next, the ancestor of the Chen family divided the corpse of the "gold-eating beast" into several parts on the spot, and then distributed the two fangs and 20% of the body to the Zhou family, while he took 40% of the body and the most important Eyes, teeth, etc., the last 40% were handed over to the three families including the Jinquangu Yang family and the loose cultivator.
The corpses of strange beasts like "gold-eating beasts" are no longer flesh and blood, and cannot be eaten as animal meat. However, after their corpses are refined by ground fire or monk's real fire, they can be tempered enough to refine fourth-order magic weapons. Special spirit gold.
And the two animal teeth that the Zhou family received contained the essence of the "gold-eating beast", which could be used as the main material for refining the fourth-order flying sword.
The Zhou family was able to get these two fangs, obviously because Zhou Minghan consumed a fourth-tier low-grade defensive charm to block the attack of the "gold-eating beast".
The distribution of the ancestors of the Chen family is actually a statement. Even if he wants to suppress the Zhou family, he will act within the rules and will not easily break the rules.
There is no need to say more about the importance of rules for power and power.
Although the Chen family is much stronger than the Zhou family, they still don't have the power to wantonly break the rules, because the existence of the rules is far stronger than them.
In the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea, there is only one force that can not follow the rules, and that is the Huang Shamen who made the rules and guarded them.
The ancestor of the Chen family used a knife to kill people, which was a calculation within the scope allowed by the rules. He distributed the teeth of the "gold-eating beast" to the Zhou family, which also obeyed the distribution rules for immortal cultivators to form a team to eliminate demons.
For the Zhou family, it is of course a good thing that the ancestors of the Chen family are willing to abide by the rules.
After all, there is still a big gap between the strength of the Zhou family and the Chen family. If the two sides really disobeyed and did not follow the rules, the final result would be one death and one injury, and they would make wedding dresses for others for nothing.
After dealing with the distribution of the loot, the ancestor of the Chen family Dang even returned to the Baisha River Oasis with Zhou Yang and the others on board the Konghanglou boat again.
As for the lair of the "gold devouring beast" and the "Silver Star Stone" mine of the third-order mine, no one cared.
The "gold-eating beast" has a very unique characteristic, that is, it only eats and does not pull. They feed on metal, and only absorb the useful parts of the metal to strengthen their body and cultivation, and then use the waste that has lost their spirituality Spit out again.
Moreover, this kind of monster does not have any hobby of collecting treasures, and it is even more dismissive of the elixir that other monsters are vying for, and only likes to eat all kinds of spirit gold.
Therefore, this kind of monster's lair has no exploration value at all.
And although the "Silver Star Stone" can extract the third-order spiritual gold "Star Silver", only a thousand catties of "Silver Star Stone" can extract three or four taels of "Star Silver". Zhou Yang and others are all in the foundation building stage Cultivator, who is willing to become a miner for such a harvest?
A few days later, Zhou Yang and the others returned to the Baisha River Oasis. The ancestors of the Chen family immediately took a supplementary medicine for refining Jidan from Zhou Yang and went back to Baituofeng to retreat and refine alchemy, while Zhou Yang and Zhou Minghan were He stayed in Ping'anfang City and waited for Dan Cheng.
"Xiao Jiu, are you wondering why the old man insisted on refusing to accept that piece of [Taiyi Pure Gold]?"
In the backyard of Yuquan Building in Ping'anfang City, Zhou Minghan and Zhou Yang were sitting opposite each other in a quiet room, but they were talking about what happened a few days ago.
"Great-grandfather Mingjian, my grandson really doesn't understand this matter. It stands to reason that you consumed a fourth-level low-grade magic talisman and got injured because of it. Even if you took that piece of [Taiyi Pure Gold], you still don't owe him the Chen family's favor. You Why did you have to refuse?"
Zhou Yang looked at Zhou Minghan suspiciously, waiting patiently for him to clarify his doubts.
Unexpectedly, when Zhou Minghan heard his words, he said excitedly: "I don't accept that thing. There is only one reason, and that is, I want that one day, the head of his Chen family will personally give that thing to us as a gift." Zhou family, congratulations to my Zhou family for being promoted to the Zifu family!"
Zhou Yang was shocked when he heard this, and instantly understood what Zhou Minghan meant.
He had always wondered how the old patriarch Zhou Minghan's reaction was too calm and timid in the face of the obvious murder of the ancestor of the Chen family, not at all like the old patriarch he knew.
Now Zhou Minghan's words let him understand that although the old patriarch is old, his arrogance and ambition have not weakened at all.
The ancestors of the Chen family used a piece of "Taiyi fine gold" as a bait to put Zhou Minghan in a dangerous place. After Zhou Minghan escaped from danger, it was as if nothing had happened, and he even assumed a gesture of charity from a senior expert. This thing that almost killed Zhou Minghan should be given to him as a reward.
This undoubtedly deeply touched Zhou Minghan's nerves and touched the pride hidden deep in his heart.
A piece of "Taiyi Pure Gold" is precious, but can it be as precious as the life of Zhou Minghan, a nine-story foundation-building monk?
If he had accepted that piece of "Taiyi Fine Gold", wouldn't he be willing to belittle himself, and belittle his own life and dignity?
Even if he didn't throw the piece of "Taiyi Fine Gold" to the "Gold Devouring Beast" to get away, he still held his breath and wanted to tell the ancestors of the Chen family that he and the Zhou family would definitely not be able to let him rub it casually. Knead a piece of mud, you can knead it however you want!
After trying to understand this, Zhou Yang immediately looked at the old patriarch Zhou Minghan with a serious face and said in a deep voice: "Grandson understands, please rest assured that great-grandfather, one day, grandson will definitely let the head of the Chen family take the piece of [Taiyi essence] [Jin] sent to the Zhou family, and let the Chen family pay the due price for this incident!"
After resting for two days, I feel better. There are still eight days before the end of the quarantine. I really count the time every day! I've never thought about going to work like this before!
