Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Zhou Yang greeted his fifth uncle Zhou Xuanbin, and after explaining the situation, they came to the ground of "Haoyang Grotto".

Eight years have passed, and a large number of desert plants have grown again around the sandy slope on the ground. Because of the care of ordinary people from the Zhou family, these plants have grown more lushly than before, and there are many more types of plants. Even some mortals have raised sand chickens, sand antelopes, sand rabbits and other animals here.

And not far below the sand slope is the Tucheng where the Zhou family lived. More than 2,000 meters to the west of the Tucheng is an oasis under construction.

The oasis has only been built for a few years, and there is only a circle of grassland tens of meters wide around the desert lake formed by the underground river.

Zhou Yang stood on the sandy slope and watched from a distance. Thousands of ordinary people from the Zhou family were divided into four teams and stood on all sides of the lake to form four long dragons. To water the sand in the hands of the last man.

A bucket of water poured on the sand can only soak half a meter deep, and the thickness of the sand in the area chosen as an oasis is more than five meters on average.

If only these thousands of people irrigate the sandy land with such a primitive method, it would be difficult to create an oasis of 100 square meters a year. This still does not take into account the factors of desert erosion.

So at this time it was the turn of the cultivators to perform.

Among the first-level spells commonly used by immortal cultivators, there is a small spell called "Gathering Clouds and Turning Rain". As long as this spell is cast, water can be condensed even in the hottest place in the boundless sand sea.

And if this first-order spell is used by a cultivator in the foundation-building period near the sea and lake with plenty of water vapor, it can really cause a heavy rain within a few miles, just like the name of the spell.

Desert lakes formed by underground underground rivers are not at all related to the word "big lake", and Zhou Xuanyan, a ninth-level Qi training monk, cannot be compared with the foundation-building period monks.

However, as a nine-level Qi training monk who majored in water-type kung fu, and with the help of a second-level top-grade magic weapon "Shuiyun Banner" specially used to enhance the power of water-type spells, after performing the "gathering clouds and turning rain", he fell down. It is also barely able to make a moderate rain fall on one square kilometer of land.

In order to create an oasis as soon as possible, every morning, noon and night at three o'clock, Zhou Xuanyan will cast dozens of "cloud gathering rain technique" to water the land around the desert lake until the magic power is exhausted.

Therefore, the sand that Zhou Yang sees being irrigated by mortals is actually the land that has been irrigated by Zhou Xuanyan. These mortals are now watering, but it is just a small supplement, barely smoothing out the evaporation of the desert temperature. vapor.

"It's really hard for Aunt Xuanyan. Originally, such trivial matters should be done by the low-ranking monks of the family. Now let her be an elder to do this kind of thing. Not to mention overqualified, it is too demeaning!"

Zhou Yang couldn't help shaking his head and sighing. In the final analysis, the Zhou family was too weak.

In the eyes of ordinary casual cultivators, the Zhou family occupying such a medium-sized oasis, with the cultivating family of foundation-building monks sitting in it, is an existence they cannot afford.

But in the eyes of those high-ranking monks, the Zhou family, with only one foundation-building monk in charge, belonged to an existence that anyone could step on.

If people know that the Zhou family now occupies a third-order spiritual vein in addition to the Yuquan Lake Oasis, within a month, there will definitely be other foundation-building monks who will come to the door and force the Zhou family to give up the "Haoyang Cave" spiritual vein. veins and red flame iron ore veins.

If you encounter those who are cruel and merciless, maybe you will use this as an excuse to take the opportunity to unite with other foundation cultivators or families to directly break the Yuquan Peak Mountain Protection Array and carve up the entire Zhou family!

This kind of thing has not happened before.

To avoid this kind of thing from happening, the only way is for the Zhou family to have new foundation-building monks.

So now, all the high-ranking members of the Zhou family who know about "Haoyang Cave" are secretly looking forward to Zhou Yang, the junior who entrusts the hope of the whole family, to succeed in building the foundation and lead the Zhou family through the difficulties.

Seeing that Zhou Yang hadn't broken through to the ninth level of Qi training in one go before leaving the pass, Zhou Xuanyan and Zhou Xuantai, the two elders of the Zhou family, both felt regretful and secretly relieved.

Now that Zhou Yang no longer retreats, they don't need to allocate one person to protect him every day. The work of building an oasis is shared by one more person, and they can relax a lot, not to mention that Zhou Yang will occasionally spare time to help.

Building an oasis is not a one-time job. Zhou Yang and the others are just laying the foundation first. If they really want to build a large oasis in the "Haoyang Grotto", it will take at least a few generations of effort, and it will take tens of hundreds of years. to do it.

Therefore, Zhou Yang's main energy after leaving the customs is actually on improving the refining technique.

Over the past eight years, he has focused on his cultivation, and rarely forged weapons, and his skills are a little rusty.

But after all, he still has the foundation, and after a few times of refining the weapon to familiarize himself with the feel, he regained his state.

In the battle against the poisonous fire scorpions, the Zhou family harvested a large amount of second-tier monster materials. As a second-tier mid-tier refiner, Zhou Yang also received a lot of materials. Now there is no shortage of refining materials.

However, it was the first time for him to use the material refining tool from the monster, and it was quite a challenge.

The material on the monster's body is no more than metal ore, which can be melted into liquid for shaping at will. When using the material on the monster's body to refine the weapon, the type of magic weapon must be determined according to the shape of the material.

For example, the poisonous fire scorpion's scorpion needle can only be refined into the flying needle weapon.

If the scorpion needle is melted, the unique fire poison on the poisonous fire scorpion on the scorpion needle will also dissipate, and this material will be useless.

Of course, monster material refiners also have an advantage over metal ore, that is, the materials on monster beasts are all years of refinement by the monster's own monster power. After some special monster materials are refined into magical weapons, it will also be attached with some kind of magical power mastered by the monsters during their lifetime.

Because he has never used monster materials to refine weapons, Zhou Yang did not dare to directly use precious second-level materials to refine weapons. Instead, he used materials from the first-level poisonous fire scorpions to practice first. "There are a lot of them stored in the warehouse, and it doesn't feel bad to waste them.

The first-order Poison Fire Scorpions only have two scorpion pliers and scorpion needles that can be used for refining weapons. The scorpion pliers are suitable for refining into a strange weapon "Iron Arm God Hook", and the scorpion needles can be refined into "Poison Fire Flying Needle" ".

Compared with the finer "Poison Fire Flying Needle", the thick and bulky "Iron Arm God Hook" is undoubtedly more suitable for novice refining.

This so-called "Iron Arm God Hook", in scientific terms, is an "exoskeleton armor", that is, a mechanical arm.

Zhou Yang took out the scorpion pliers in stock, first shaved off all the air-dried meat shreds left inside the scorpion pliers, put them into the refining furnace, then poured in a special solution prepared with various acidic ores and plant juices, and then ignited The fire roasted the cauldron of the refiner with fierce fire to soften the scorpion claws inside.

At this time, he put his spiritual consciousness into the cauldron furnace to observe the softening degree of the scorpion pliers. When the scorpion pliers began to soften under the action of high temperature and acidic solution, he began to play the shaping-related artifacts recorded in the refining classics. The softened scorpion pincers are fine-tuned and shaped into the shape of "Iron Arm God Hook".

After the shaping was completed, Zhou Yang performed the Artifact Refining Art while maintaining the temperature of the flame, and placed a "shock" spell in the "Iron Arm God Hook".

After finishing setting up the magic ban, he used the "photographing technique" to pick up the "Iron Arm God Hook" and put it into the quenching pool that had been prepared a long time ago. It can be regarded as a success in refining.

The first-order magic weapon does not need to be sacrificed, it can be used by injecting real energy and mana. Zhou Yang randomly shot a piece of mana into the newly trained magic weapon, and the two "iron arm god hooks" weighing dozens of catties hit the ground heavily. On the iron man used to test the power of the magic weapon.

After hearing a loud "boom", dozens of long and thin cracks the size of chopsticks appeared on the iron man made of fine iron, and then two light yellow auras spread out from the "Iron Arm God Hook". It caused a shock in the entire refining room, almost knocking down the refining cauldron on the ground.

"Well, this power is close to a blow from a second-level low-grade magic weapon. It seems that my weapon refining technique is very close to a second-level top-grade weapon. Very good, keep trying."

With a wave of his sleeve, he shot out a burst of magic power to straighten the cauldron furnace, Zhou Yang took out another material and put it into the furnace, and continued refining.

After about half a year like this, after hundreds of refining attempts, Zhou Yang finally succeeded in breaking through to the second-level high-grade refiner, becoming the youngest second-level high-grade refiner in the history of the Zhou family.

The refining technique broke through to the second-level high-grade, Zhou Yang immediately sent the good news to the old patriarch Zhou Minghan and his parents, and not long after that, he saw his parents rushing here in the "Haoyang Grotto".

"Father, have you made up your mind?"

Zhou Yang looked at the parents who came suddenly, and after a moment of surprise, he immediately understood what the two of them were doing here.

"Why, as a father, can't I just come to see you because I miss you?"

Zhou Xuanhao smiled slightly, as if he didn't see Zhou Yang's suddenly heavy face at all.

"Okay, you father and son don't act like enemies as soon as you meet. What are you doing with such disappointing things on this happy day when father and son meet?" Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Lin Yuting quickly interjected to ease the atmosphere.

After speaking, he grabbed Zhou Yang's hand and smiled: "Let's go, Yang'er took me to your cave, and this time, my mother brought you a lot of special delicacies that can only be found in Fangshi. "
