Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't remember how many times the spiritual energy had circulated, but the cotton-like spiritual mist in her dantian became thicker and thicker, and a drizzle began to fall.
At this time, Zhou Yuanyuan's meridians had been widened more than twice, and when the spiritual energy rushed in, the pain in the meridians had stopped. In the dantian, the spiritual rain began to wash the dantian wall, and the drizzle kept falling in Zhou Yuanyuan's dantian, and soon it gathered into a small lake below the dantian. Under the nourishment of the spiritual rain, Zhou Yuanyuan did not feel any pain, but felt as if the whole person was floating in the clouds, and the whole body was indescribably comfortable. The water in the small lake turned into spiritual energy and evaporated into the spiritual cotton ball above, and then turned into rain and fell down, over and over again...
After an unknown amount of time, the spiritual energy ball in Zhou Yuanyuan's dantian and the spiritual energy lake water merged into one again. The spiritual energy ball was still the size of a fist, but it was no longer a cotton-like mist, but had become a solid gel.
At the same time, Zhou Yuanyuan only felt a "boom" sound in her sea of consciousness.
"Great! The master has advanced!" Before Zhou Yuanyuan could see what was going on, Xiaoyu in her sea of consciousness let out a cry of joy.
Xiaoyu was truly delighted. The Foundation Establishment Stage was the first and most important step for a cultivator to officially embark on the path to immortality. In Xiaoyu's hundreds of thousands of years of existence, she had witnessed many cultivators stagnate at the Qi Refining Stage, ultimately dying in depression at the end of their lifespan. A cultivator's cultivation was like the passing of sand; the more time passed, the more truly exceptional and talented individuals remained.
When Xiaoyu first met Zhou Yuanyuan, she was so excited by her rebirth that her consciousness was as strong as that of a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage that she accepted her master without even observing her cultivation level. This also shows how difficult it is for cultivators to enter the Foundation Establishment stage.
Zhou Yuanyuan felt a little calmer as she watched her sea of consciousness expand by a third. Her consciousness stretched endlessly along the Daqing Mountains. Listening to the rustling of pine trees and gazing at the verdant mountains and clear waters, she felt a sense of embrace from nature.
In Zhoujia Village, Zhou Chunping's family has had a hard time for the past six months.
After Zhou Zhigang's father-in-law came to ruin their business on Lunar New Year's Day, the Zhou family began to suffer bad luck. First, Zhou Zhigang was fired from his position as village accountant, and then Zhou Zhimei was fired from the cotton mill because she was often late for work.
Zhou Zhimei was not convinced. The discipline in the cotton mill had always been lax. Everyone went to work like that, and people were often late and left early. Why was everyone else fine, but she was the only one fired?
The factory leader squinted his eyes and asked, "The higher-ups wanted to find an example, and I've caught you. If you're not convinced, you can report it to the county."
Zhou Zhimei was a bully at home. Back in her mother's home in Zhoujia Village, she could bully her brothers and sisters-in-law, but at the factory, she didn't dare to stand up to her boss. After being fired, Zhou Zhimei had to stay home to take care of the children, where she was constantly scolded by her mother-in-law.
Then, Zhou Zhiqiang lost his carpentry work. The master carpenter who taught him carpentry had gone to live with his daughter in another province. Zhou Zhiqiang, with only a half-baked skill, was afraid to take on work on his own, so he had to work in the fields of the production team every day.
When Zhou Xi came to take away the clothes Zhou Zhixin wore when he was a baby, he gave Zhou Chunping and his wife 500 yuan and asked Zhou Chunping and Wu Jinfeng to sign an agreement, which was considered to buy out the kindness of Zhou Chunping and his wife in raising Zhou Zhixin over the years.
Before leaving, Zhou Xi deliberately raised his voice to emphasize the matter of giving money in the main hall of the Zhou family. Finally, Zhou Xi also said that from now on, Zhou Zhixin and Zhou Chunping's family would go their separate ways and would no longer have any relationship.
Wu Jinfeng held Zhou Xi's money in her hand and wanted to find a place to hide it immediately. She knew that the Zhou family was no longer the same as before. In the past, Zhou Chunping's words were heard by the children, but in the current Zhou family, if the two sons knew that the old couple had money, they would definitely come over to share.
Zhou Xi gave money to Zhou Chunping not to thank them. After hearing that Zhou Zhixin was almost killed by Zhou Chunping and his two sons, Zhou Xi hated Zhou Chunping and his two sons to the extreme. How could he give them money for no reason?
After Zhou Xi gave the money, he not only leaked the news to the brothers Zhou Zhigang and Zhou Zhiqiang, but even Zhou Zhimei in the county town knew that her mother's family had received a "huge sum of money".
Zhou Zhimei is a profit-seeking person. She lost her job and had a hard time in her husband's family. She heard that her parents in her natal family had so much money, so why wouldn't she come back to share a piece of the pie?
For a while, the Zhou brothers and sisters and Zhou Chunping and his wife quarreled over the distribution of 500 yuan.
After more than three months of arguing, Zhou Chunping's family finally reached an agreement on how to divide the money: Zhou Zhigang's three siblings would each receive 100 yuan, while Zhou Chunping and his wife would each receive 100 yuan.
A plan to divide the money was worked out, but unfortunately the bag of money that Wu Jinfeng had hidden tightly was gnawed into pieces by rats. The Zhou family spent several days piecing together the scraps, but they were still unable to put together a complete piece of unity.
Zhou Chunping's family was extremely depressed. Seeing such a huge fortune slipping away from them was a heartbreaking pain. If they had known this would happen, they would have never had this fortune in the first place! At least they wouldn't have had any thoughts of it, right?
When Zhou Xi, who was far away in Kyoto, heard his subordinates come back to report that Zhou Chunping's family had been in chaos recently, he felt as refreshed as if he had drunk a glass of ice water in the hottest days of summer!
That's right, the life in Zhou Chunping's family during this period was all designed by Zhou Xi. The bag of money was taken back by Zhou Xi a long time ago, and the remaining crumbs were just a handful that Zhou Xi grabbed at random from the waste banknote processing plant. It would be strange if Zhou Chunping and the others could piece together such a great unity.
Zhou Xi, this old fox, respected General Zhou the most in his life. Zhou Chunping and his men almost killed General Zhou's only grandson. It would be strange if Zhou Xi didn't find a way to make them sad!
After being tricked by Zhou Xi, the Zhou family just breathed a sigh of relief when Old K came to their door again.
The last time Lao K came to Sanhe Town, one of his missions was to get Zhou Chunping to kill Zhou Zhixin, and the other was to come and see the treasure in the secret room of Zhou Chunping's house.
Both of Lao K's missions ended in failure. Zhou Zhixin escaped, and the treasure in Zhou Chunping's secret room disappeared.
When Old K returned to Kyoto to report to his master, Zhou Nianxin, he was severely scolded. Zhou Nianxin gave Old K a new mission: to track down the whereabouts of the treasure. Zhou Nianxin knew that the treasure in the secret room was huge, and that was the start-up capital he was going to use to do something big!
When Zhou Chunping was forced by Old K to ask about the whereabouts of the treasure, he was completely confused. He really didn't know that there was such a secret treasure room in the house where he had lived for decades.
