When Zhou Chun and Zhou Mingde returned to the family gate, Zhou Daoyi, who had been waiting anxiously for the news, finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
Because the matter was so important, he did not dare to reveal the news to others easily these days, so he could only suffer in anxiety alone.
Now that he saw that Zhou Mingde was fine, his heart finally dropped.
Naturally, it was time to ask questions and understand the specific situation.
After learning what had happened through the mouths of Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun, he also sighed with joy: "This is really a blessing among misfortunes. Fortunately, Zhengchun, you rushed there in time and had the right medicine in hand, otherwise
The consequences are really unimaginable!”
"Yes, I was able to save my life this time, and it's all thanks to Zhengzhun!"
Zhou Mingde also sighed with deep approval, and his words were also full of gratitude to Zhou Chun.
Although he is also an old man who has experienced many ups and downs, he still doesn't experience many things like this where his life is hanging by a thread. Every time he experiences it, he feels countless emotions.
Moreover, this experience also made him completely determined not to go out and travel alone in the future, so as not to happen again, which would worry the younger generations of the clan.
He also didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble to the younger generations of the family because of himself.
"You two elders are serious. These are just the responsibilities of the younger generation."
Zhou Chun didn't mind what Zhou Mingde caused this time, because he himself had caused a lot of trouble when traveling before, and he knew that these were inevitable risks when traveling to the world of immortality.
Since the elders didn't blame him when he got into trouble, how could he have the nerve to blame them now?
After such an exchange, Zhou Chun asked Zhou Mingde, who was seriously injured, to go back to the cave to rest, and then he went back to the cave to take stock of the gains and losses of the trip.
Zhou Chun's losses during this Wuyang Kingdom rescue operation were certainly not light.
His incarnation suffered a great loss in cultivation in the secret realm of the void. It is not known how long it will take to restore his cultivation.
At the same time, both Golden Winged Tiger and Silver Dragon Lord also suffered some minor injuries and needed to rest for a while to recover.
However, although his losses were not light, his gains were equally substantial.
He raised his hand and patted the storage bag on his waist, and a dozen khaki crystals appeared in his hand.
These are the fragments of the broken energy core of the rock giant.
The energy core that was not broken at that time was somewhat similar in nature to the Snow Charm core possessed by Zhou Chun's incarnation. It seemed to be refined from the core of stone monsters, mountain elves and other spirits.
It's just that the strength of the rock giant is as high as the fifth level. If it is really made from the core of the spirit, wouldn't it mean that the people of the Jin Yue Sect killed a fifth-level spirit king?
Zhou Chun felt that it shouldn't be that exaggerated.
There is a high probability that the energy core is also refined with the demon core of the fourth-order high-grade monster as the core. It may be that it is blended with other spiritual objects to make it qualitatively change into a fifth-order demon core!
There is no doubt that the rock giant is also a fifth-level puppet creation, and is obviously stronger than all the fifth-level puppets Zhou Chun has seen before in terms of skill and strength.
It has a powerful energy core and can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to restore mana and repair body damage. It is almost equivalent to a real fifth-level demon king!
This was the first time Zhou Chun had seen and heard of such a unique puppet creation.
It's a pity that this thing was destroyed by his own hands, and it will probably never be seen again in the future.
At this time, after studying the crystal fragments in his hand, Zhou Chun called the golden armored mountain turtle stone over and asked him to see if he could use these things.
After listening to Zhou Chun's words, Shitou Shitou, a turtle in golden armor, opened his mouth and swallowed a fragment of the crystal without further ado, using the simplest and crudest method to verify whether this thing was useful to him.
After a while, his eyes lit up, and he nodded to Zhou Chun, happily expressing his thoughts through mind-to-mind contact.
According to the meaning it expresses, the effect of the crystal fragments is somewhat similar to that of the demon pill. It can completely digest it and transform it into its own cultivation.
Moreover, the quality of the crystal fragments is quite high, and its digestion and absorption effect will be very good.
This is similar to what Zhou Chun originally expected.
After all, even if the Golden Armored Mountain Turtle Stone eats some high-grade earth-attribute ores, it can still digest them and improve one's own cultivation.
"Since these things are useful to you, let me take them and digest them properly."
Zhou Chun smiled slightly, and immediately gave all the crystal fragments to the golden-armored mountain turtle stone, letting it return to its lair to slowly digest it alone.
If the situation is good, maybe after digesting these crystal fragments, the Golden Armor Bearing Mountain Turtle Stone can also trigger a thunderstorm of heaven.
After processing the crystal fragments obtained from the rock giant in this way, Zhou Chun took out the storage bag obtained from Pang Zhenyue and conducted an investigation and inventory.
As a late-stage Jindan cultivator, Pang Zhenyue spent several days in the secret realm of the void, and naturally gained a lot from it.
Zhou Chun opened his storage bag and after taking inventory, he found that in addition to the [Immortality Grass] discovered by Zhou Mingde, there were also a variety of rare elixirs with a long history in his storage bag, as well as a large number of various kinds of elixirs.
Plant spiritual fruits and fourth-level spiritual trees.
There are a total of sixteen [Immortality Grass] plants, of which three have an age of more than five thousand years, eight have an age of more than three thousand years, and the remaining five have an age of between five hundred and three thousand years.
Pang Zhenyue might also want to try to plant these elixirs. Several of the elixirs with relatively low medicinal ages were put into the jade box together with the soil.
After Zhou Chun discovered this, he immediately gave these [Immortality Grass], which were less than three thousand years old, to Mu Mei Mu Sang and asked them to send them to Luo Qingni to see if there was a chance to grow them.
As for the remaining [Eternal Life Grass], of course, I want to see if there is a chance to refine elixirs for life extension in the future, or exchange them with other Nascent Soul Stage monks for treasures that I can use.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, if you want to refine the elixir, the elixir recipe is also a problem.
Among the prescriptions currently owned by the Zhou family, there is no prescription that can utilize [Immortality Grass].
Even in the world of immortality ten thousand years ago, this kind of elixir was still a rare elixir, and the elixirs that could use them were secrets that were not passed down by some forces.
But it doesn't matter, because elixirs are much more in demand than elixirs now.
As long as Zhou Chun dares to spread the news, someone will naturally be willing to exchange the pill recipe with him.
So after he dealt with those [Eternal Life Grasses], he took inventory of other spiritual objects.
After taking stock, Zhou Chun also showed a satisfied smile.
From Pang Zhenyue, he got a total of two high-grade magic weapons and two medium-grade magic weapons. In addition, not counting the [Immortality Grass], there were also two elixirs that were over five thousand years old and elixirs that were over three thousand years old.
Fifteen strains, hundreds of elixirs that are over a thousand years old.
There are also a lot of other miscellaneous things, which must be a very satisfying harvest for a golden elixir stage monk.
But in Zhou Chun's eyes, it can basically only be used to reward younger generations and enrich the family's treasury.
Professional matters should be left to professionals.
After Zhou Chun got another batch of high-quality elixirs this time, he quickly went to visit Luo Qingni's cave.
Then he did not hide his secrets at all, and directly took out all the elixirs harvested this time for him to inspect and listen to his opinions on how to deal with these elixirs.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou is indeed a person with profound blessings. Not only was he able to obtain so many strains of elixirs such as [Immortality Grass] that are almost extinct in the outside world at one time, but he also obtained so many different types of thousand-year-old elixirs. It is really unenviable.
None of it works!"
In the cave, after looking at the various elixirs Zhou Chun brought out, Luo Qingni looked at him with joy and emotion and sighed,
She couldn't remember how many times she had said similar words.
But every time she encountered this situation, she could only express her inner wonder by saying this.
Because she knew very well that it was very difficult for even a Nascent Soul Stage monk to come up with so many rare elixirs at once.
Unless you are the kind of person who comes from a force with a long history and is the only person in the force who has the final say, it is possible to do this.
As long as there are two Nascent Soul stage monks in a force, then no one can use the rare elixirs planted and preserved by the elders of the sect in the force.
These are the public and ancestral properties of the entire sect family. If you want to use them, you must have a very legitimate reason and be supported and approved by the majority of the sect's senior officials.
But the elixirs Zhou Chun took out now are all his own. They are all his trophies, and he has complete control over them.
"Qing Ni, you are a master of alchemy. You have also visited the various rare elixirs on that secret island. In your opinion, how should these elixirs be used to their best advantage?"
Zhou Chun didn't pay attention to Luo Qingni's envious feelings, but looked at her calmly and expressed his thoughts.
Hearing his words, Luo Qingni was slightly stunned at first, and then said: "This Qingni needs to think carefully before he can answer."
"It's okay, there's no rush in this matter, Qing Ni, just think about it slowly."
Zhou Chun waved his hand and said as if he didn't care.
Next, Zhou Chun was not in a hurry to leave, so he drank the spirit tea while waiting for Luo Qingni's reply.
After waiting like this for almost an hour, Luo Qingni looked up at him and said, "I have kept you waiting for a long time. Qingni probably has some ideas about these elixirs based on the various prescriptions available to you."
"In Qing Ni's opinion, these elixirs from fellow Daoist Zhou, combined with some elixirs from the secret island, as well as four furnaces of elixirs that can be used to refine the cultivation of early-stage Golden elixir monks and middle-stage Golden elixir monks.
You can refine one batch of high-level elixirs to restore blood essence and vitality, and you can also refine two batches of high-level elixirs to heal internal injuries!"
"In addition, if you can find two other rare elixirs, you can even try to refine a top-level elixir that will also improve your cultivation, fellow Taoist Zhou!"
Having said this, she also added: "Of course, if those [immortality grasses] can obtain suitable elixir recipes, with Qing Ni's current skills, it should not be difficult to refine some life-extending elixirs!
"
"Oh, Qing Ni, what kind of top-level elixir you are talking about is?"
Zhou Chun's expression changed, and he couldn't help but look at her in surprise and asked in detail.
"It's [Zihua Jiangzhu Dan]. To refine this elixir, you need a [Crimson Pearl Grass] with a medicinal age of over 5,000 years, a [Purple Yuan Xianzhi] with a medicinal age of over 5,000 years, and three other ingredients.
One kind of auxiliary medicine with a medicine age of more than 5,000 years, and 16 kinds of precious medicines with a medicine age of more than 5,000 years.”
"Now Daoyou Zhou already has the most precious [Crimson Pearl Grass] and [Purple Yuan Xianzhi], as well as another auxiliary medicine and most of the thousand-year-old treasure medicines. He only needs to find the remaining two auxiliary medicines and several thousand-year-old treasure medicines.
Medicine, we have gathered all the refining materials for [Zihua Jiangzhu Pill]!"
Luo Qingni explained the relevant situation in detail as if he were familiar with the treasures of his family.
As she successfully gave birth to a baby and determined that it would be impossible to leave the Zhou family in the future, all the elixirs possessed by the Zhou family were released to her.
Except for a very few rare elixirs such as [Taiqing Xianzhi] that were not convenient for her to know, she knew almost all the elixir information that Zhou Chun and the Zhou family could mobilize.
That's why Zhou Chun came to ask her about the use of these elixirs.
After listening to her words, Zhou Chun also looked happy and said: "In this case, Zhou will pay special attention to the elixirs you mentioned Qing Ni and try to get them together as soon as possible!"
Taking drugs is easy to become addicted. This is the real situation of Zhou Chun now.
Before he gave birth to a baby, his cultivation was able to advance by leaps and bounds, and the contribution of the elixir was huge.
And after getting used to relying on the power of elixirs to advance his cultivation by leaps and bounds, he has been a child for decades, and now he often misses the speed of his previous cultivation.
Although his current cultivation speed is not slower than other Yuanying stage monks, if he only practices step by step, he will not be able to reach the barrier of the middle stage of Yuanying within six or seven hundred years.
For him, who has only lived for a total of six to seven hundred years, this is undoubtedly a very unaccustomed and somewhat difficult thing to accept.
So if he could continue to take drugs and greatly shorten this time through the power of the elixir, he would naturally be very happy.
So after carefully discussing the disposal plan for those elixirs with Luo Qingni, Zhou Chun returned to his cave first.
Then Zhou Zhiying followed Zhou Chun's instructions and left Jingguo again for Duolan Grassland, where he went to the secret island to pick the elixir needed for Luo Qingni's alchemy.
She will be the main beneficiary of the elixir that Luo Qingni will refine next.
Time flies by like this, and another three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, after Zhou Chun completed his daily meditation practice, he received news from Zhou Daoyi, telling him a regrettable thing.
Zhou Zhixiong, who had obtained a complete set of elixir-forming spiritual objects before, finally failed to form the elixir, and he died suddenly in a secret room of seclusion!
The monk guarding the soul tablet in the Zhou family's ancestral temple only found out about this after he discovered that his soul tablet was completely broken, and immediately reported it to Zhou Daoyi.
Zhou Chun also felt quite sorry for this result.
He had always hoped that the Zhou family would have a master-level figure who could excel in a certain important skill. Zhou Zhixiong seemed to be the closest to him before.
But now it seems that he has to wait a few more years.
Fortunately, he is now in his prime, so he can afford to wait.
Moreover, the family now has Luo Qingni, a true master of alchemy, at least in terms of alchemy, it is not inferior to those of the established powers.
Nowadays, under the guidance of Luo Qingni, the level of the alchemists of the Zhou family has improved significantly, making the elixir business in Zhoujiafang City's stores obviously booming.
In the past few years, Luo Qingni also started refining the elixir several times in succession, and refined all the high-level elixirs she had mentioned before.
After Zhou Zhiying obtained those elixirs for improving his magic power, he also devoted himself to practicing in seclusion.
She has excellent spiritual root qualifications, and her cultivation speed is far faster than ordinary people. Now with the help of pills, she is expected to reach the Nascent Soul within a hundred years!
If she really does it, the age at which she will turn into a pill and give birth to a baby will be decades earlier than Zhou Chun, breaking Zhou Chun's previous record!
Zhou Chun is also looking forward to this.
On this day, Zhou Chun suddenly received an invitation, and the inviter turned out to be Master Ziyang.
The other party sincerely invited him to visit the Tianyuan Immortal City of the Great Zhou Kingdom in the invitation card.
"What is the old thief Ziyang's plan?"
Zhou Chun looked at the invitation in his hand and pondered slightly.
Over the years, he has been cultivating quietly and not causing trouble. The Yuelun Sect and the Yanyang Sect were intimidated by his strength, but they never dared to take the initiative to attack the Zhou family.
At most, it would be to restrict and suppress the Zhou family on some commercial and trade levels.
"Let's see what tricks he wants to play again!"
After pondering for a long time, Zhou Chun decided to go see the other party.
After he arranged the situation on the family side, he took Feng Yuanjun to Tianyuan Immortal City, leaving Luo Qingni and Yinlongjun to guard the family gate.
Because the meeting place was in Tianyuan Immortal City, Zhou Chun first made a declaration with the Nascent Soul Stage monks who were stationed here before being able to enter.
Later, in a cave in the fairy city, Zhou Chun met Ziyang Zhenren, whom he had not seen for some years.
At this time, Master Ziyang had already taken away the body of a young monk because he had destroyed his body. He looked extremely young.
Of course, although his body has changed, his aura and eyes are still the same person Zhou Chun is familiar with.
After sizing up the other party, he looked straight at the other party and said coldly: "Tell me, what trick are you trying to play by suddenly inviting Zhou here?"
Facing his cold expression, Master Ziyang acted as if he had never seen him before, and replied in an unusually gentle tone: "Why do you need to be so anxious, Fellow Daoist Zhou? Why don't we sit down and have a cup of tea first."
As the saying goes, when something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Seeing that Master Ziyang was so gentle and polite when facing someone like him who had a life-destroying hatred against him, Zhou Chun became increasingly wary.
But his face was still indifferent and he waved his hands and said: "Zhou has never been in the habit of drinking tea with his enemies. If you don't want to talk, Zhou won't accompany you!"
Hearing his cold and decisive words, Master Ziyang's expression suddenly froze, and then he smiled bitterly at him and said: "Being an enemy of fellow Taoist Zhou is really the thing I regret most in my life!"
After saying that, he sighed in a low voice with a look of self-pity: "But as of today, with Zhou Daoyou's magical power, I am afraid that I am not worthy of being my friend's enemy at all!"
But Zhou Chun didn't listen to him at all, and said in a deep voice: "If you want to talk about something, if you expect to win Zhou's sympathy by pretending to be crazy and doing miserable things, then you have made a wrong calculation!"
There was already a hint of impatience in his words.
Seeing this situation, Master Ziyang also sighed in his heart, and could only nod his head and said: "In that case, fellow Daoist Zhou, please listen to my price first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Chun with a solemn expression and said, "I guess Fellow Daoist Zhou already knows that the two-headed black dragon that caused a storm in the Kingdom of Zhou was actually a dragon.
After the sect was destroyed for the first time, a certain deputy leader and his spiritual pet were transformed into each other, and the most important inherited spiritual treasure of the Hualong Sect [True Dragon Seal] was also in his hands!"
"And after this double-headed black dragon destroyed the body of Master Kuang Lei, it was also chased by fellow Taoists from the Great Zhou Kingdom for tens of thousands of miles, and fled all the way to the Tianman Plain."
"I have used various means to inquire about Tianmanyuan over the years, and even took great risks to go to Tianmanyuan personally to confirm. I have found the specific location of the two-headed black dragon."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this point, he also said to Zhou Chun sincerely: "If Fellow Daoist Zhou is willing to return the inherited spiritual treasure [Yanyang Treasure Mirror] of our sect, I am willing to personally
Take fellow Taoist to Tianman Plains to surround and kill the double-headed black dragon, and help fellow Taoist obtain the top spiritual treasure [True Dragon Seal]!"
After Zhou Chun heard what he said, he was slightly stunned.
Zhou Chun had no idea that Master Ziyang would put his mind into this aspect in order to get back the sect's inherited spiritual treasure.
It was actually the same as what he had originally thought!
However, after he was stunned for a short time, he quickly sneered and said: "Old thief Ziyang, you are still so good at making small calculations. Let's not talk about why Zhou would take a spiritual treasure that was already in his hand and exchange it for another one.
As a spiritual treasure without a shadow, do you think the two-headed black dragon will be an easy target? What’s more, it’s still in a foreign territory like Tianman Plains!”
As he spoke, he said in a sharp tone: "How does Zhou know that you didn't deliberately use this as bait to lure Zhou to Tianmanyuan, and then colluded with foreigners to ambush Zhou!"
Master Ziyang seemed to have guessed that he would say this. After hearing the words, he immediately shook his head and argued: "Fellow Daoist Zhou, what you said is wrong! The inherited spiritual treasure of our sect cannot exert its full power in your hands, Friend Daoist.
And that [True Dragon Treasure Seal] is not only much more powerful than our sect’s inherited spiritual treasures, but it is also very compatible with you, fellow Daoist Zhou. Whether it is used by you or the Silver Dragon Lord, it can exert unparalleled power!"
"As for your worries, Fellow Daoist Zhou, they are overblown. No matter how confused I am, I still know that the crime of colluding with foreigners to ambush the Yuanying monks of our clan is a heinous crime that will implicate the sect and the family. It is impossible to risk it."
It’s such a big risk to harm you, fellow Taoist Zhou!”
Having said this, he also looked at Zhou Chun with a firm look and said: "If you, Taoist friend Zhou, still can't trust me, I can go with you, Taoist friend Zhou, to find justice for Taoist fellow Taoist Xuanzhen or Taoist Kunxu, and even sign a contract with you
Under the contract of Yuanshen!"
He spoke so seriously and with so much sincerity that Zhou Chun couldn't tell the truth for a while.
But even if he couldn't tell whether it was true or false, Zhou Chun also knew how to calculate gains and losses, so after being silent for a while, he refused again: "Even so, using a spiritual treasure that you already own in exchange for a spiritual treasure that you may not be able to get,
It’s Zhou who suffered a big loss, and it’s impossible for Zhou to agree to this!”
"Then what about the conditions for the Zhou family to be the spokesperson for Jingguo? As long as Zhou Daoyou agrees to the exchange, regardless of success or failure afterwards, I will propose on behalf of the Yanyang Sect that the Zhou family replaces the Yuelun Sect as the spokesperson for Jingguo and obtains the reputation of Jingguo.
What does Fellow Daoist Zhou think of the right to issue spiritual coins?"
Master Ziyang gritted his teeth and added a condition that seemed very irresistible!
