Chapter 2668 The veteran takes action
Everyone in the Zhou family also looked over here at the same time, wanting to hear what was going on.
The nine people who came back from Xiye Ancient City hoped to get some useful information to help the Zhou family make up for their losses. Although the clan leader and other people in power did not blame them after figuring out what happened, it made them feel even more guilty.
"A while ago, I had a friend from the Ma family. He told me that their Ma family and several other families in the northwest, the Qian family, were working together to go to West Kunlun, and it seemed that a treasure had been unearthed."
"What treasure?" Everyone asked immediately.
"I, I don't know either. He was also vague and didn't say much. It was only when we were having a party and chatting that he mentioned it unintentionally and revealed some things. When I asked him at the end, he said it was related to breaking through realms. As for what realms he broke through, he didn't say in detail." The man answered helplessly.
Instantly, everyone present knew that this breakthrough must be a breakthrough from the acquired realm to the innate realm. Because they all knew about the several families just mentioned, and some of them were just martial arts families, with no innate masters in the family, and only relied on the acquired tenth-level warriors to keep up appearances.
As for acquired warriors, as long as they are not breaking through to the innate realm, but only using things to break through within the acquired warrior realm, whether it is medicinal herbs or some other treasures, although they are precious, they are not too rare. Generally, as long as there are certain resources or money, they can be obtained.
After all, as long as a warrior is not too useless, he can cultivate to a similar level through diligent practice.
Therefore, upon hearing this news, anyone with a little bit of brains would understand what treasure these people were looking for after they cooperated. That's why they cooperated and searched for treasures together.
So, can their Zhou family also participate in it?
"Tell us about your conversation with that friend." said Zhou Gang, the head of the Zhou family.
"Okay!" said the younger generation of the Zhou family.
Everyone listened carefully, and then they understood which member of the Ma family this younger generation had a better relationship with, and that he was also the son of a core elder of the family. He was sent by the family to the area where the Zhou family was located to be in charge of some business affairs.
The two of them have similar interests. When they have nothing to do, they like to eat, drink, take a bath and so on.
That's why the two of them can talk about anything.
A few days ago, the Ma family sent him a message, asking him to return to the family base to look after it. Although this guy is not very strong, he is also at the fourth level of the acquired realm, so it is no problem for him to go back to guard it.
Therefore, the young man from the Ma family called the younger generation from the Zhou family and went out for a drink together as a farewell party. Otherwise, it was unknown how long it would take before he could come back again.
At the party, when he was drunk, he accidentally revealed this matter.
Of course, there was some showing off involved, but no one cared and just treated it as bragging.
Unexpectedly, at today's family meeting, everyone put their heads together and tried to see if there was any way to help the family survive this crisis.
Now, the Zhou family member remembered the drinking party a few days ago and the information that was inadvertently leaked, so he told it.
"Okay, no matter what, our Zhou family must get involved in this matter." Zhou Gang's eyes were shining, and he had some calculations in his mind.
The other responsible persons also nodded in agreement. Since they were looking for a breakthrough treasure, it must be a breakthrough treasure from the acquired realm to the innate realm, or even a breakthrough treasure from the innate realm. No matter which one it was, it would be a life-saving item for the Zhou family.
The Zhou family has lost too many innate talents, so it is a very dangerous period for the Zhou family now. Once other families find out about the Zhou family's situation, they will definitely take action against the Zhou family. Even those enemies will take action. Once this happens, the Zhou family will be in danger.
Originally, when Zhou Ziyun and others were around, their Zhou family was an absolute super family, and all kinds of monsters and demons avoided them. But when the family lost its innate masters, all kinds of monsters and demons appeared.
"Chief, how can we get involved?" said a responsible person.
Zhou Gang also thought about it secretly. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Make two preparations. One is to contact the Northwest Han family. Our Zhou family is related to their Han family by marriage, so we can directly ask about this matter to see if their Han family is involved. If so, then we can pay a certain price and let the Han family recommend our Zhou family to join."
After hearing this, the others immediately nodded in agreement. As long as the price was sufficient and there were relatives by marriage, the Han family would do their best.
“In addition, if the Han family is also unaware of this matter, we can join forces with the Han family and let the Han family find out the news. After finding out the news, we can join forces with the Han family and secretly follow those families, and then each rely on their own strength.” Although Zhou Gang said it lightly, it is hard to say what the result will be when you think about joining forces with the Han family and each relying on their own strength to obtain it.
After listening to this, everyone nodded in agreement.
So, without any delay, he started to contact the Han family. Now that a few days have passed, maybe those families have already set out together.
Unexpectedly, after contacting the Han family, there was good news. There was a treasure hunt this time. As an old family in the northwest, although the Han family did not have innate masters, there were many acquired tenth-level masters, so they naturally participated in it. The mission content was to find treasures and medicinal materials for cultivation in the West Kunlun Mountains, and they were all precious medicinal materials. However, as the Qian family who discovered the treasure land, they warned that the treasure land was very dangerous. Only one out of ten of the team that found the treasure survived. More than a dozen people went, but only two came back, and they were both seriously injured.
One of them got a box lunch not long after returning, while the other was still lying down and couldn't recover in a short time.
Moreover, the leader of the team was a warrior of the tenth level of the acquired realm, but he did not return, and the two who returned were the nineth level of the acquired realm. Moreover, they only explored a little bit of the treasure land and did not go deep into it.
It is said that the Qian family team picked a lot of precious medicinal herbs in the treasure land, among which there was a most precious acquired-to-innate elixir. Just when everyone was happy, the team was attacked by a large number of unknown creatures and returned in defeat. When they retreated, they were attacked continuously. In the end, only two people left the treasure land, and the others died there. The captain who was holding the precious elixir also died during the retreat.
But even so, the several medicinal herbs and a piece of ore that the two people who returned from the ninth level of the acquired realm brought with them were also very precious things.
Therefore, the Qian family took out this treasure land and wanted to unite with other families to explore it together to obtain more treasures.
Although the Han family was invited, they were somewhat uneasy. After all, although they were powerful in the northwest, they knew their own affairs. The highest force in the family was only a warrior at the peak of the tenth level of the acquired realm. Although they wanted to participate in this operation very much, their force was not enough. If they were arranged by other families to act as scouts, wouldn't it be a loss?
Exploring the way is no different from being a pioneer. Once danger occurs, the losses will be huge.
Moreover, the Han family also knew that several families such as the Qian family had innate masters leading their teams, so the families without innate masters leading their teams would definitely be pushed out to be used as pathfinders.
I didn't expect the Zhou family to contact me, and I was immediately overjoyed. The Zhou family has a congenital master, so as long as the Zhou family arranges a congenital master to lead the team, then this time I will definitely be able to get a share of the pie, at least I won't be tricked by others.
Therefore, the Han family did not ask for any benefits at all. They just hoped that the Zhou family would arrange a congenital master to lead the team, so that all the actions of the Han family could be consistent with those of the Zhou family, and they could even let the Zhou family's congenital master be the person in charge.
After the Zhou and Han families had discussed the matter, they began to prepare.
Time is running out, so both families must arrange staff as soon as possible.
After contacting the Han family, they were a little confused. As for the innate master, the Zhou family only had Zhou Zixing, so they had no choice but him. The Han family made it clear that they needed an innate master to lead the team, so Zhou Zixing had to lead the team.
As for the team members, who will go is a problem.
Finally, after discussion, everyone decided that Zhou Zixing would lead the team, with Zhou Ke and Zhou Mei also participating, and then arrange for several other acquired personnel to follow up. The number of people would be controlled within ten, which would highlight their strength, and with a small number of people, they would be able to respond to any situation in a timely manner.
In addition, there are people from the Han family who will also form a team together, so nine people will be enough for the team the day after tomorrow.
Although Zhou Zixing is already very old and his strength has reached the second level of innateness, it is still no problem for him to go on an adventure. And if he finds some precious medicinal materials that can help him break through his own realm, wouldn't that be even better?
Zhou Gang came to Zhou Zixing with the discussed plan.
As Zhou Zixing's life was coming to an end, he practiced alone in a remote courtyard in the Zhou family's ancestral land. He lived a comfortable life every day. The stagnation of his strength made him gradually let go of his worries and quietly wait for the end of his life.
But when he heard the information Zhou Gang brought, he felt helpless.
"I didn't expect that I would still have to worry about the family at my old age. You are really disappointing." Ever since Zhou Zixing learned about the death of Zhou Ziyun and others, he knew that he would have to work hard sooner or later.
Zhou Gang was stunned and had no way to say anything. After all, the Zhou family was already in a dangerous situation. If they could not find a way out, their demise would be theirs.
After all, when the Zhou family was strong in the past, they offended many other families, and even secretly helped other families to get resources.
Zhou Gang knew this, Zhou Zixing knew this, and so did the rest of the Zhou family. Therefore, the Zhou family had to participate in this mission.
"Grandpa, the Zhou family still needs your care!" Zhou Gang said.
"Okay, I'll just go this time." Zhou Zixing said.
I was feeling a little depressed, but gradually I became more cheerful. If I could find some precious medicinal herbs during this operation, maybe I could live a few more years.
No matter who they are, there are really few people who can look at death with a smile, and Zhou Zixing knows very well that he is definitely not one of them.
