FD (see again in half an hour)

It's over.

When Zhou Minghan's unique skill, which took half a quarter of an hour to prepare, was displayed, the result was doomed.

About a quarter of an hour after the roar came, Zhou Yang and other Zhou friars saw the third-order [poisonous fire Scorpion King] corpse brought back by the old patriarch Zhou Minghan.

The dark red giant scorpion, which was the size of a calf, was torn apart and turned into dozens of pieces of meat. Only two of the hardest scorpion tongs and a scorpion tail remained intact.

"The scorpion shell defense of the third-order [poisonous fire Scorpion King] is stronger than the general third-order inferior defense magic weapon. What powerful magic power did the old clan leader use? Even such a hard scorpion shell was broken into so many pieces!"

Zhou Yang looked at the corpse of the third-order monster thrown out by the old patriarch Zhou Minghan. He was shocked and regretted.

As a tool refiner, there is probably nothing more painful than seeing good tool refining materials destroyed in front of your eyes.

With the size of [poisonous fire Scorpion King], if the scorpion shell on his body is complete, there is at least a half chance that he can refine a set of third-order inferior defense armor with the weapon refining skill of the old clan leader Zhou Minghan.

Note that it's a set, not a piece!

A set of third-order inferior defensive armor, including several defensive spells on chest armor, helmet, arm armor, leg armor and other parts. The single defense effect of these defensive spells can reach third-order inferior. If a whole set is worn together, the defense effect will be better than a third-order superior defensive spell.

A friar in the early stage of foundation building wears such a set of defensive armor, and it's no problem to cross a small realm against friars in the middle stage of foundation building.

Compared with such a real set of magic tools, Zhou Yang's four sets of "armor breaking daggers" are basically children's playthings, not a level thing at all.

In fact, why didn't Zhou Minghan, the old patriarch, feel sad? But in order to get rid of the poisonous fire Scorpion King, he had no choice at all.

Not to mention how depressed Zhou Yang and the old clan leader Zhou Minghan were. When the Zhou family and others saw the corpse of the third-order monster [poisonous fire Scorpion King], they were relieved and smiled happily.

With the death of [poisonous fire Scorpion King], a third-order monster, their Zhou family's action to expand the red flame iron vein has come to a perfect end, and then it's time to harvest.

In this war, they killed one third-order monster, dozens of second-order monsters and hundreds of first-order monsters. The war was very fruitful.

For those who practice immortality, monsters are full of treasure. Basically, except for a few monsters whose flesh and blood contain highly toxic, most of the meat on monsters can be eaten, and the eating effect is much better than [golden pearl rice].

The blood of monsters is the main material for making blood ink used by talisman. The fur can not only refine tools, but also make blank talisman paper.

Even the excrement of monsters can be used to fatten up some holy wood and medicine!

Because there were too many monsters killed in this war, most of the storage bags of the friars of the Zhou family were full and could not be loaded. Finally, they had to collect them and pile them up, and then slowly let people transport them back to the family.

After cleaning up the battlefield, the people gathered together again. Everyone looked at the old patriarch Zhou Minghan with excitement.

Of course, Zhou Minghan knows what these people are thinking. Although the bodies of hundreds of monsters are a rich harvest, it also depends on what they compare with.

Compared with a third-order natural spirit vein and a red flame iron vein, this harvest is really nothing.

"Let's go. I'll go to the spirit pulse first."

With a slight nod, he took the lead in offering his flying sword and flew to the nest of poisonous fire scorpions.

There are also some poisonous fire scorpions left behind in the nest of poisonous fire scorpions. These left behind poisonous fire scorpions are basically female scorpions to be produced and a few male scorpions to guard, and they don't know what's going on outside.

Seeing this situation after Zhou Minghan broke into the scorpion's nest from the outside, he flew his sword and ruthlessly slaughtered.

When Zhou Yang and others came later, they saw the headless poisonous fire scorpion corpse in a place.

Instead of looking at the corpses of poisonous fire scorpions, Zhou Yang, like other Zhou friars, directly showed his "heavenly eye" to observe this huge underground cave and carefully felt the abundant aura in the cave.

"What a pure aura of heaven and earth! It's just the aura outside the cave. The purity of aura is not less than that of the hillside of Yuquan peak. It's worthy of being a natural aura of the third-order lower grade. Even if it's a bit lower, the aura is no worse than the artificially cultivated third-order middle grade Aura! "

Zhou Yang was observing the environment in the cave when he heard the excited exclamation of Uncle Zhou Xuanhe.

When he heard this, he could not help but operate the skill silently, absorbed a wisp of aura into his body, and then his face was shocked.

"How's it going? Feel it, not only is the aura rich here, but also the aura attribute is more inclined to fire and earth attributes. You and the father's spiritual root skills are all inclined to fire attributes. The effect is better than that on the Yuquan peak where the five elements tend to balance! "

Zhou Xuanhao was right beside Zhou Yang. Naturally, he looked at his small movements in his eyes. When he saw the look on his face, he couldn't help smiling and explained his doubts for him.

The spiritual root of a friar has attribute bias, and so does the spiritual pulse. The natural spiritual pulse will have some bias according to its environment.

For example, in the sea with rich water vapor or on the edge of big rivers and lakes, the aura on the spiritual pulse will be biased towards the water attribute, which is more suitable for the cultivation of immortals practicing water system skills.

In the spirit pulse in the hot place of the volcano, the Reiki attribute will be biased towards the fire attribute, which is suitable for the immortal practitioners of the fire skill.

The natural spirit veins in the boundless sand sea are mainly fire, earth and gold, and there are few natural spirit veins that favor water and wood attributes.

Generally speaking, after an immortal occupies the spiritual pulse, unless it is a casual practice in which all disciples practice the same attribute skill, for the sake of the cultivation of future generations, they will use the spirit gathering array and spirit stone to transform the spiritual pulse, so that the Reiki attribute of the spiritual pulse tends to the balance of the five elements.

The Yuquan peak occupied by the Zhou family was also a second-order top-grade natural spirit vein at the beginning. The spirit attribute was biased towards the attributes of soil and wood. Later, with the transformation of a large number of spirit stones invested by the Zhou family, it gradually became a third-order middle-grade spirit vein with balanced five elements.

Zhou Yang thought of these records of spiritual pulse knowledge he had seen. Suddenly, he looked a little moved, but he thought of another thing related to natural spiritual pulse.

He glanced around and asked curiously, "father, I saw from the classics that some special heaven and earth spirits will grow on the general natural spirit veins, such as the [dragon scale tree] on Yuquan peak. I don't know if there will be any here?"

"Well, it's not easy for a father to answer this question."

Zhou Xuanhao flashed an awkward color on his face, but he couldn't answer Zhou Yang's question. Then, in order to avoid Zhou Yang asking such bad questions again, he simply threw his sleeves and said, "go, isn't the old patriarch already in? Let's go in and have a look."

This underground cave is quite deep. The nest of poisonous fire scorpions is mainly arranged in the spacious cave hall outside the cave. On the cave wall around the cave hall, there are many underground passages extending in all directions.

Those underground passages are naturally formed, but most of them are dead roads excavated by poisonous fire scorpions.

There are two spacious passages. One is formed naturally. Even if you don't enter this passage, Zhou Yang can feel the cold water vapor emitted from the depths of the passage. Needless to say, this passage must lead to the underground river.

The other channel is two or three meters wide and can accommodate several people in parallel. This channel is dug out of the stone wall by powerful external forces. The rich aura in the cave overflows from this channel. I think it is the spiritual eye of the spiritual pulse.

Zhou Yang and Zhou Xuanhao entered this channel.

After their father and son went hundreds of meters deep along the passage, a stone chamber that could hold dozens of people to sit and practice appeared in front of them. The old patriarch Zhou Minghan and several old people of the "light" generation of the Zhou family were also looking around in the stone chamber.

"Old clan leader, but what treasure did you find?"

Zhou Xuanhao came forward with Zhou Yang, craned his neck and looked at the things surrounded by the old patriarch Zhou Minghan and others, and asked casually.

Zhou Yang craned his neck and looked around. He saw that the object surrounded by the old patriarch and others was a milky yellow stalactite column about three feet high from the ground.

"Eh, this is, is this..."

Suddenly, Zhou Xuanhao's eyes were full of surprise and surprise. He looked at the stalactite pillar and looked at the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, for fear that he was wrong.

"Yes, this is a very rare third-order spirit [di yuan spirit milk]!"

The old clan leader nodded slightly and said the name Zhou Xuanhao wanted to say in a low tone.

Hiss——

Zhou Xuanhao couldn't help taking a breath, and his body trembled slightly.

Zhou Yang was surprised to see his father like this. From childhood to adulthood, this was the first time he saw his father like this.

"Father, what is [di yuan Ling milk]?"

He looked at the Milky stalactite pillar in surprise and asked, his eyes full of doubt.

"[di yuan soul milk] is an extremely rare third-order spirit. It is a kind of heaven and Earth Spirit bred by the earth vein spirit through ten thousand years of stone bell milk. It can not only serve as the main substitute material for many third-order elixirs, but also an important auxiliary elixir for refining many fourth-order and even fifth-order elixirs. Do you know the foundation pill? Refining and building Jidan, this [diyuanling milk] is a necessary auxiliary medicine! "

Knowing that Zhou Yang is young and spends most of his time in practice, he may not know the information about some rare spiritual objects in the practice world. Zhou Xuanhao quickly explained to him the use of [di yuan spiritual milk].

Then he patted the waist storage bag, took out a jade slip used by the immortal to record important knowledge and handed it to Zhou Yang: "this record of rare treasures of heaven and earth records more than 3000 kinds of rare treasures of heaven and earth, from the first level to the seventh level. Yang Er, you have time to have a look. Don't go back empty handed after entering Baoshan. That will become a joke."

When he did these things, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan looked at him with great meaning and said, "Xuanhao, you still missed the same thing about the function of [Diyuan spirit milk]

For a moment, Zhou Xuanhao's face changed.

"[Diyuan spirit milk] is a necessary auxiliary medicine for refining the foundation building pill. Yes, but it also has a function, that is, after taking it, the nine layer friars under the age of 100 will restore their physical vitality to the state before the age of 60 and have a valuable opportunity to impact the foundation building period!"

Regardless of Zhou Xuanhao's crazy face, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan said in a low voice what Zhou Xuanhao had deliberately ignored.

"Old patriarch, you..."

Zhou Xuanhao opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but it seemed that there was something difficult to say. He couldn't say it. His face was very ugly.

Unexpectedly, the old clan leader didn't let him go. Instead, he looked at him and shouted in a deep voice: "Xuanhao, I know what you want to say, but I tell you that since I embarked on the road of cultivating immortals, I can only move forward!"

"If you cultivate immortals only to live twenty or thirty years longer than ordinary people and have such a weak ability now, you might as well have been an ordinary person and lived a plain life safely!"

Zhou Xuanhao was shocked, and a strong color of struggle suddenly appeared in his eyes.

At this time, the old man Zhou Quan also said: "Xuanhao, you know that your spiritual root qualification is actually no worse than Xuanyu. If the family didn't lack alchemists, you would not have been promoted to the Ninth level of Qi training at the age of 63!"

After old man Zhou Quan's words were finished, old man Zhou Dan, the third elder of the Zhou family, quickly said, "yes, Xuanhao, the old clan leader and the third brother are right. You delayed the opportunity to build the foundation for the sake of the family. Now you have a chance to do it again. Why can't you make up your mind to try it again? I have a bad word to say. Even if you fail, you still have Xiaojiu, an outstanding younger generation, to inherit your career. You can have no regrets in this life! "

When Zhou Xuanhao heard this, the color of struggle in his eyes became stronger. He looked at Zhou Yang with complicated eyes. His throat wriggled and seemed to have something to say.

"Well, don't talk. It seems that it will take almost ten or eight years for this [di yuan Ling milk] to condense. Xuanhao, you still have a lot of time to think about it. If you think about it well, come and tell me that as long as you want, the first one will be kept for you!"

With a wave of his hand, the old clan leader Zhou Minghan stopped several words that the old people of the "light" generation wanted to persuade again, which also made Zhou Xuanhao gush into his mouth and hold back in his stomach again.

He held back the words he wanted to say and nodded heavily. "Xuanhao understands. The younger generation will seriously consider the words of the old patriarch and your elders."

Zhou Yang kept silent because he didn't know what riddles the old patriarch and others were playing.

But now, if he still doesn't know what the old patriarch and others are talking about, he will live in vain for so many years.

"It turned out that the old clan leaders wanted their father to take [di yuan Ling milk] to impact the foundation period. No wonder their father, who has always respected his elders, would be so embarrassed this time!"

When Zhou Yang wanted to understand this matter, his heart suddenly became very heavy.

Zhou Xuanhao is 80 to 70 years old this year, and he has lost Yuanyang. Even if he takes [diyuanling milk] to make his body vitality return to the state before the age of 60, the probability of success in building the foundation will not exceed 5%!

With such a low probability of foundation construction, it is no wonder that Zhou Xuanhao will make up his mind.

After all, he is not alone now. He has a wife and a son. These are his concerns.

On the other hand, just as old man Zhou Dan said, after having a wife and son and living for nearly a hundred years, there is another chance to impact the foundation period. Even if he fails, life will leave no regrets.

"Father, will he promise? If it were me, how would I choose? "

Zhou Yang secretly glanced at his father with a heavy face. Although there were thousands of words in his heart, he couldn't say a word.

As a son of man, if he persuades his father to agree, once his father fails to build the foundation, it will be unfilial.

But as an immortal, if he advised his father not to agree, it would be tantamount to personally breaking his father's path, which is also a kind of unfilial.

At this time, you can only pretend to be stupid!

Fortunately, at this time, other elders of the Zhou family entered the stone chamber and reported the cave exploration information to the old patriarch, which helped him relieve this embarrassment.

"Tell the old clan leader that I explored the dark river. I didn't find other monsters hidden, nor did I find any trace of spirit objects. It seems that it's just an ordinary Underground River tributary passing by."

The speaker is Zhou Xuanyan, the eighth female friar of the "Xuan" generation of the Zhou family. She is a relatively rare water system skill friar in the boundless sand sea. Therefore, after entering the cave, she took the initiative to receive the task of exploring underground rivers.

Underground rivers are a strange place. Even in the arid land of the boundless sand sea, there may be some water demons in underground rivers. These water demons live in underground rivers and have almost no natural enemies. Sometimes there are three or even four order demons.

Therefore, once immortals find underground rivers, they will carefully explore the situation, and then decide whether to establish settlements nearby.

"You can't be careless about this. I remember qian'er repaired a second-order top-grade array with water attribute and put it in the family treasure house. Later, I'll ask xuantai to take it and lay it in the dark river. Xuanyan, give him a hand at that time."

The old patriarch Zhou Minghan pondered a little and decided to be more cautious.

Although the second-order top-grade array can't defend against the attacks of third-order and fourth-order monsters, it can also serve as a warning for the family friars stationed in the stone chamber in the future.

But at the thought of Zhou Qian, the great elder of the Zhou family, Zhou Minghan's heart became heavy for no reason.

He glanced at the friar Zhou family in the stone room. With a gesture, a metal disc with more than a dozen light yellow flags suddenly appeared in his hand.

"This set of [earth guarding golden dagger array] is the last work Qian Er left in the world. Although it is only a third-order inferior, it is very consistent with the spirit vein attribute here. You can help xuantai to set up this array now!"

Sighing and saying the origin of the metal disc, Zhou Minghan gently threw it away, and the array disc fell into the hands of old Zhou Quan.

When the people left one after another, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly said, "by the way, Xiao Jiu stays."

"Xiao Jiu, strictly speaking, you found this spiritual pulse. Have you figured out how to name it?"

Zhou Yang, who was left by the roll call, was wondering what the old patriarch wanted to say, but he waited for such a question.

He was stunned. After a while, he replied, "since great grandfather asked his grandson this, his grandson would have the courage. What do you think of Haoyang cave?"

"Haoyang grottoes, Haoyang grottoes, well, from now on, this place will be called Haoyang Grottoes!"

The old clan leader recited the name of "Haoyang Grottoes". With a wave of his arm, a flashing sword light quickly flew out and engraved three big characters "Haoyang Grottoes" on the wall of the stone chamber.

After finishing this, the old clan leader took back his flying sword, looked at Zhou Yang with a positive face and asked, "Xiao Jiu, this Haoyang cave is a third-order inferior natural spiritual vein and connected by an underground river. It has great development potential in the future. If I want to build a foundation in the future, I will move here. What do you think?"

Why ask yourself now about things after building the foundation?

Zhou Yang was puzzled and suddenly moved in his heart. He couldn't help blurting out: "did great grandfather mean to let his grandson practice here in the next time?"

"Children can be taught!"

Zhou Minghan looked at Zhou Yang with approval, nodded, and then said his plan.

"Haoyang cave is a third-order natural spiritual vein, and it is adjacent to the red flame iron vein. In terms of practical value, it is no worse than Yuquan Lake oasis. I won't let the low-level friars of the family come here before the friars in the foundation period, so as not to let the news leak and be known by outsiders."

"When the [earth guarding golden dagger array] is arranged, I will take Xuanhao and them home. At that time, you will be handed over to quan'er, dan'er, Xuanyan and Xiao Jiu. You four friars in the later stage of Qi training will guard here. With the power of the array, even if there are three-level monsters attacking, you can resist me to come and rescue. There is no need to worry about safety!"

"Of course, the most important thing is that the environment here is more suitable for your practice than Yuquan peak. If you practice here, you will have a greater grasp of being promoted to the Ninth level of Qi practice in more than ten years."

Zhou Yang knows the truth, but when he thinks that he has just been reunited with his parents for a short time, he will separate again. Zhou Yang is still very reluctant to give up.

In fact, he wanted to tell the old patriarch to let his father Zhou Xuanhao stay with him.

But he knew better that as the only second-class alchemist in the family, his father could play his role only by sitting in the shop in the square market.

Moreover, if his father Zhou Xuanhao is determined to impact the foundation period, he must choose an heir from the younger generation of "Yuan" to teach alchemy in the next ten years and eight years, just in case the family alchemist breaks the inheritance after failure.

"The grandson understands."

He resisted the pain in his heart and whispered.

"Ah! Hard work for your father and son! "

With a long sigh, Zhou Minghan reached out and patted Zhou Yang on the shoulder, indicating that he understood everything.

If there is a choice, Zhou Minghan is unwilling to do so, but the plight of the Zhou family forces him to do so.
