Chapter 125 Elders’ Feelings, Righteousness and Courage [Subscription Request]

Flying Stone Peak.

When Zhou Daoquan learned that Zhou Chun came to visit him, he thought he needed his help with something.

But what he didn't expect was that after Zhou Chungang bowed to him, he took out the "Soul Heart Fruit" in a jade box and handed it to him.

Then he looked at him sincerely and said, "I have always been grateful for your kindness, but I am short of money and have no way to repay you."

"It just so happens that this God-given opportunity has allowed me to obtain a few Soul Heart Fruits in the Heavenly Spirit Trial Ground."

"I will use this gift to repay you today. Please do not refuse!"

Soul Heart Fruit?
When Zhou Daoquan heard Zhou Chun's words, his eyes narrowed and he hurriedly took the jade box to check.

When he saw the purple-red exotic fruit inside, he couldn't help but close the lid, looked at Zhou Chun in surprise and said, "It really is the Soul Heart Fruit. How did you get it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun told the story of how he obtained the Soul Heart Fruit.

"What a pity! What a pity that you didn't catch the two green-faced ghost apes!"

"As for this extremely rare monster, I have only heard of it but never seen its form!"

After hearing what Zhou Chun said, Zhou Daoquan couldn't help but shake his head and said it was a pity.

Apart from practicing Buddhism throughout his life, he also loved collecting and studying various exotic beasts. Naturally, he had an extraordinary interest in studying special beasts like the Green-faced Ghost Ape.

However, facing his sigh, Zhou Chun could only smile bitterly.

In that kind of trial ground, one could fight with other cultivators at any time. How could he possibly bring a monster like the Green-Faced Ghost Ape, which could pose a great threat to him, with him?

What's more, this kind of strange beast can only live and grow in places with strong yin energy. Even if it was brought to the Zhou family, there is no place for it to live and survive.

Fortunately, Zhou Daoquan was just sighing out of habit and it was impossible for him to really mean to blame him.

After a little sigh, he looked at Zhou Chun with a gratified look and nodded repeatedly, saying: "It's rare that you still remember my kindness to you. In this case, I will gladly accept this Soul Heart Fruit."

After saying this, he felt very emotional.

He chose to give the Silver Thunder Python's egg to Zhou Chun because he didn't want to be branded as someone who embezzled treasures from his descendants and didn't want to break the family rules.

He never took Zhou Chun's words of rewarding him seriously.

Unexpectedly, just over ten years later, Zhou Chun really repaid him.

This growth rate is really shocking.

It also makes people feel happy.

After accepting the "Soul Heart Fruit" that Zhou Chun brought to him, Zhou Daoquan's eyebrows twitched. He immediately looked at Zhou Chun and said, "I never like to take advantage of others. Since I have accepted your Soul Heart Fruit today, if you encounter any problems in the future that require my help, you can come to me. As long as it is within my ability, I will definitely help you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun quickly waved his hand and said, "Elder, there is no need to be like this. This is just a small token of my appreciation."

Unexpectedly, after hearing what he said, Zhou Daoquan immediately shook his head and said, "The heart is the heart, the relationship is the relationship. If you don't agree, then I dare not accept this Soul Heart Fruit!"

As he said this, he took out the jade box again.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun admired the elder's integrity, but also felt helpless about his stubborn character.

In the end, he could only smile bitterly and nodded, saying, "I will remember what the elder said. If I really need your help, I will not be polite to you."

"That's pretty much it."

Zhou Daoquan nodded with satisfaction and put the jade box away again.

After chatting with the Third Elder Zhou Daoquan about what he saw and heard during the "Heavenly Spirit Trial" on Fei Shi Peak, Zhou Chun returned to his residence on Pagoda Peak to rest.

Over the next month, Zhou Chun was not in a hurry to take the "Soul Heart Fruit" because his internal injuries had not fully recovered.

On the contrary, Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Daoquan both took the "Soul Heart Fruit" during this period, which strengthened their spiritual consciousness by more than 10%.

After Zhou Daoquan got this opportunity, he seemed to have realized something and felt the opportunity to break through to the late stage of foundation building. He has begun to practice hard in seclusion to prepare for the breakthrough.

After taking the "Soul Heart Fruit", Zhou Daoyi also began to work hard to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill for Zhou Chun.

According to him, the most important thing for the Zhou family now is to help Zhou Chun successfully build his foundation.

Everything else is not as important as this.

This kind of treatment made some elders who knew about it extremely envious.

But it's just envy.

As elders, they all knew how much Zhou Chun had contributed to the family.

A person who has made such a great contribution to the family and is an extremely outstanding descendant of the family is completely worthy of the family doing this for him.

After resting for more than a month, Zhou Chun asked for leave from the clan leader Zhou Daoyi and concentrated on refining the "Soul Heart Fruit" in seclusion at his residence.

In terms of taste, the "Soul Heart Fruit" tastes very bad, just like a moldy persimmon, and it makes people want to vomit after taking a bite.

But good medicine tastes bitter.

In terms of effect, the “Soul Heart Fruit” lives up to its great reputation.

It took Zhou Chun nearly seven days to completely digest the medicinal power of the "Soul Heart Fruit", and his spiritual awareness increased by more than 30%.

Originally, the range of his spiritual consciousness was less than a hundred feet, but now it has reached one hundred and twenty-eight feet!
With such a powerful spiritual sense, no one in the entire Zhou family's Qi-refining stage cultivators can compare with him in terms of spiritual sense.

With such a powerful spiritual sense as his, once he successfully builds his foundation, his spiritual sense will definitely be much stronger than that of an ordinary cultivator in the early stage of foundation building like Zhou Jiarui.

It can be said that we are one step ahead, and we are ahead at every step!

Just two months after Zhou Chun returned to his family after participating in the "Heavenly Spirit Trial", the Dragon Transformation Sect, which had suffered a severe blow before, made a comeback and caused a huge commotion.

This time, the Hualong Sect directly targeted a Zifu family in Yunzhou and dispatched three guardians and twenty to thirty missionaries to wipe out the entire family with the force of thunder!

Afterwards, many immortal cultivation families and independent cultivation camps that had previously hunted and killed members of the Dragon Transformation Sect were also retaliated by the people led by the Dragon Transformation Sect's missionaries.

In just half a month, more than a dozen foundation-building monks in Yunzhou died because of the revenge of the Hualong Sect.

When this incident happened, Qinglian Temple was furious and immediately sent five Purple Mansion cultivators and more than seventy Foundation Establishment cultivators to Yunzhou to take charge.

However, facing such a powerful lineup sent by Qinglian Temple, the Hualong Sect did not retreat at all. Instead, they directly harassed people from Qinglian Temple in all directions, forcing them to divide their forces to rescue various places, and then look for opportunities to engage in a head-on battle.

For a time, the land of Yunzhou was filled with smoke of war. Many local cultivators in Yunzhou could not bear the suffering and fled to nearby Lanzhou, Lingzhou and other places.

But ordinary cultivators can run away, but those from established families and businesses cannot.

Qinglian Temple would not let these immortal cultivation families escape. So the order to mobilize the immortal cultivation families from Lingzhou, Lanzhou, and Lianzhou to go to Yunzhou for support was soon issued to the Zhou family and other families.

"According to the instructions on this transfer order, one out of every five foundation-building cultivators will be selected. If there are less than five, we will treat them as five, and if there are more than seven, we will treat them as ten. My Zhou family currently has exactly five foundation-building cultivators, so we only need to send one."

"But for the Qi Refining cultivators, one out of ten will be chosen by lottery, which means that this time the family will have to send fourteen cultivators to Yunzhou!"

"Elders, which of these fourteen tribesmen do you think should be sent?"

In the Zhongping Hall, after Zhou Daoyi received the transfer order from Qinglian Temple, he called all the elders except Zhou Daoquan here to hold a meeting to discuss the transfer order.

This war order from the superior sect force is completely different in nature from the previous battle between the Zhou family and other five major immortal cultivation families and the "Qiyun Alliance".

At that time, we were fighting for the interests of the family. We had to concentrate the most elite forces of the entire family to participate in the war and win.

But if there are no other plans for this kind of war mobilization order, you can just send some old, weak, sick and disabled people to apply for the service.

That way, if you win, it won't be a big deal, and if you lose, the family's losses can be minimized.

But if this were to happen, it would undoubtedly make many members of a family of immortal cultivators like the Zhou family feel disheartened.

After all, these clansmen choose to stay in the family and serve the family so that they can have someone to rely on after they form a group.

Even if I become disabled or old one day, with the support of my family, I can live a better life than ordinary cultivators.

If the family encounters problems now, and they use these old, weak, sick and disabled people as pawns, who would dare to trust the family? Who would dare to rely on the family?

All the senior Zhou family members present here are aware of these principles.

So after Zhou Daoyi finished speaking, all the elders fell into silence and thought, and no one spoke for a short while.

Zhou Chun was also thinking about this problem, but he couldn't think of a good way to have the best of both worlds.

For anyone in power, this kind of thing is a matter of trade-offs and it is impossible to have it all.

"I think we should use the method of drawing lots. Let all the clan members over the age of 20 draw lots, including the Taoist partners of each family. Whoever draws the lot will be the winner."

After hesitating for a long time, the second elder Zhou Chongshan took the lead and expressed his opinion.

The method he proposed is a feasible solution and seems fair.

But how can such an important family affair be handled in such a way that seems fair but may actually cause great losses to the family!

It was because Zhou Chongshan himself had no children and was usually absorbed in the art of formations that he came up with this seemingly fair method.

Therefore, after he finished speaking, the other elders remained silent.

This made him come back to his senses quickly, and he couldn't help but shake his head and stopped talking.

"Let me suggest a solution. See if it's suitable."

Finally, it was the clan leader Zhou Daoyi who spoke up and proposed his own plan: "From the fourteen quotas, half of them will be selected from the cultivators in the clan who are fifty years old or below the late stage of Qi Refining. You can let them draw lots to decide who will go."

"For the remaining half of the quota, one will be from the core tribesmen, two from the elite tribesmen, and four from the ordinary tribesmen. We will also use the drawing of lots to decide!"

In fact, his method is still inclined to gather people to reduce family losses.

But it is completely different from relying solely on the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled to make up the numbers.

At least it partially takes the feelings of the old and weak monks into consideration, and will not let them feel that the family completely disregards their lives and deaths and abandons them all when something happens.

The elite and core members of the family will be more loyal to the family and cherish their current status because they are treated differently from ordinary members.

Although it sounds cruel to say this, for a force, the most important ones are the minority elite and core members, rather than the majority of ordinary members.

This is even more obvious in the world of immortal cultivation where personal strength is respected.

So after pondering Zhou Daoyi's method for a while, the fourth elder Zhou Jiarui quickly said, "The clan leader's method is good, I agree."

"I agree too."

The fifth elder Zhou Jiahe, who had been granted the status of elder, also nodded in agreement with Zhou Daoyi's approach.

In this way, the second elder Zhou Chongshan could only wave his hand and said: "Then do as the clan leader says, I have no objection."

So after deciding on this method, Zhou Daoyi asked Zhou Chun to start counting the number of people who met the various drawing conditions, and then made wooden sticks and lot tubes for all those who met the conditions to start drawing lots.

According to the plan, the old and weak half of the people would draw first, followed by the ordinary tribesmen and the elite tribesmen, and finally all the core tribesmen would gather together to draw the last lot.

However, what no one expected was that after all the core members of the tribe drew lots, no one drew the red lot.

At this time, there was only one lot left in the lottery box.

For a moment, everyone's eyes turned to the wooden stick and Zhou Chun who was holding the stick tube, with strange expressions in their eyes.

"It seems that I am just unlucky!"

A wry smile flashed across Zhou Chun's face, and he couldn't help but reach out and take out the wooden stick from the stick tube.

It turned out to be the only red sign!
Zhou Daoyi was speechless about this result.

He specially arranged for Zhou Chun to hold the lottery tube and let other tribesmen draw first, because he was worried that Zhou Chun would draw the red lottery first.

Unexpectedly, even so, the red ticket fell into Zhou Chun's hands.

This really made him not know what to say.

With so many clan members watching at this time, and they are all core members of the family, even if he really doesn't want Zhou Chun to participate in such a dangerous mission, he can't go back on his word in public.

But just when he was in a dilemma and was reluctant to announce the result.

Zhou Zhengyong suddenly gritted his teeth, stood up and said loudly: "Thirteenth brother is the hope of the younger generation of the family, and the one who is most likely to build the foundation of the family. How can we let him participate in such a dangerous thing!"

After saying that, he bowed deeply to Zhou Daoyi and said, "Patriarch, please understand. I am also a core member of the family. I volunteer to take my thirteenth brother's place to enlist in Yunzhou. Please allow me to do so!"

"Brother Yong, you..."

Zhou Chun's expression changed and he looked at Zhou Zhengyong and wanted to say something.

However, Zhou Daoyi interrupted him in a deep voice at this time.

"Since you have this intention, Zhengyong, I will fulfill your wish!"
