Chapter 132 Zhou Chun's Thoughts [Subscribe]

Zhou Daoyi, the head of the Zhou family, once said that the most important thing for the Zhou family now is to support Zhou Chun in building his foundation successfully.

The foundation-building pill obtained by the Zhou family must also be given to Zhou Chun first.

Therefore, in order to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill, he, as the clan leader, led the way to the Yunzhou front after issuing the order to recruit manpower at Qinglian Temple.

However, he didn't expect that before any clear news could be sent back from his side, Zhou Mingde, who stayed behind in the family, had already obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill by killing the people from the Hualong Sect.

Now Zhou Mingde held the foundation-building pill in his hand. He looked at Zhou Chun and pondered for a while before nodding and saying, "I'll give this foundation-building pill to you, Zhengchun. When you reach a certain level of cultivation, you can come to me directly to claim it."

Hearing his words, Zhou Chun felt relieved.

Since this matter concerns the important matter of building the foundation, he couldn't help but feel nervous and worried about any accidents.

Fortunately, no accidents happened and Zhou Mingde still took the overall situation into consideration.

At this time, he immediately bowed and thanked: "Thank you for your kindness, Grand Elder. I will work hard to practice and live up to your high expectations!"

"I hope so!"

Zhou Mingde nodded slightly, and after saying a few more words, he returned to his cave.

Because the detachment sent by the Hualong Sect to Lanzhou had been destroyed, Zhou Chun and several Zhou family elders discussed it and cancelled their previous conservative strategy, restoring everything to its original state.

However, after this incident, the intensity of internal supervision in the family has indeed been strengthened, and the control over people entering and leaving the mountain gate has become much stricter.

Not only the Zhou family, but also other immortal cultivation families in Lanzhou are like this.

After all, the lessons are right in front of us.

The camp of independent cultivators was infiltrated by people from the Dragon Transformation Sect because of lax supervision.

Thus, by controlling the monks guarding the formation, the Black Dragon Guardian, the Purple Mansion monk, was allowed into the camp.

Eventually, several Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators were captured.

Although this incident was caused by the loose supervision of the independent cultivator camp itself on foreign cultivators, it is also true that the accident was caused by lax supervision.

With this negative example in mind, if the various immortal cultivation families still don’t know how to strengthen the supervision of entering and leaving the mountain gate, then they deserve to be destroyed!

At the same time, with the motivation of the Foundation Establishment Pill that he had already confirmed he could take, Zhou Chun worked harder in his cultivation.

No matter how busy he is every day, he will never delay his daily meditation and practice time.

Today, he has fully realized that if he does not become a foundation-building cultivator, no matter how well he does in other aspects, he will never be able to hold power in the Zhou family and become one of the top leaders.

So whether it is to gain stronger strength, longer life, or higher power.

Successfully building the foundation has become the most important thing for him at the moment.

At this time, he asked the fourth elder Zhou Jiarui to buy two bottles of Golden Bud Pills for him from Li's Pharmacy when he went to the market to deliver goods. He still had to rely on the power of the pills to open the remaining acupoints in his body as soon as possible.

Time passed slowly, and the Dragon Transformation Sect did not seem to have any significant reaction to the Black Dragon Protector's defeat in Lanzhou.

After experiencing many fierce battles, the situation in Yunzhou gradually eased and it began to turn into a guerrilla war between the monks of both sides using their wits and courage.

From this, it can be seen that the Hualong Sect is still not ready for a large-scale invasion of Yunzhou, and now it seems to be just used for training.

It is unknown what the various factions on the Jingguo side are thinking, and it seems that they have no intention of leaving the country to expedition to the headquarters of the Hualong Sect.

Zhou Chun had limited information and had no idea what the Qinglian Temple and other sects above were thinking and planning.

He only hoped that the war could be controlled within Yunzhou and not involve Lanzhou.

For the time being, it seems that Qinglian Temple also thinks so and has been trying to prevent the Hualong Sect from further expanding the battlefield.

Today was the end of the month again, and Zhou Chun began to write a summary of the various clan affairs handled this month for the elders to refer to.

He was quite skilled in this matter, after all, he had been specialized in this kind of work when he worked as the clan leader's clerk.

But doing this as the acting patriarch, he felt a little uncomfortable.

It is too beneath one's status for a clan leader to do such things like a petty clerk.

So he couldn't help but come up with the idea of ​​finding a ghostwriter.

"In fact, this kind of paperwork processing work does not necessarily have to be done by the monks in the clan. We can just select some smart mortals in the clan to do it. We just need to limit them from leaving the mountain gate easily and not communicating with other clan members easily!"

"Also, we can have two people standing guard outside the hall to pass messages. When someone comes to do something, they don't have to knock on the door directly like visiting a house!"

"Even in the Beast Garden and Baiyao Peak, we can train and recruit mortals to do some breeding and planting work, so that the tribesmen there don't have to spend a lot of time on these things!"

From the idea of ​​finding a ghostwriter, Zhou Chun quickly thought of more things.

It can be said that he has gained sufficient experience at the grassroots level. When the mountain gate was first established, he followed a large number of Zhou family cultivators to travel to various peaks, building roads and bridges, raising animals and feeding wolves. He has done everything.

Therefore, he also knew clearly that some things do not necessarily have to be done by cultivators; ordinary people can also do them as long as they are willing to put in the effort.

However, most of the mortal members of the Zhou family did not migrate here at that time. Those mortals who came here all had close relationships with the family’s top leaders, so naturally they were not asked to do this kind of tiring and potentially dangerous work.

Another issue is the cultivator’s own way of thinking.

In the inherent way of thinking of many immortal cultivators, mortals are weak and short-lived, and sometimes a minor cold or typhoid fever can take their lives.

A monster's random roar could scare several people to death.

With this way of thinking, they naturally don't think that mortals can be of any help to cultivators.

At most, only things like cooking and washing clothes that have no risk at all can be done by mortals.

There is nothing wrong with this way of thinking. After all, if there are enough people, letting cultivators do the same thing would definitely be much better than letting ordinary people do it.

However, considering the current number of cultivators in the Zhou family, it is obviously not luxurious enough to provide the patriarch with a few secretaries and two gatekeepers!
But Zhou Chun felt that he needed these people to assist him in his work.

Then using mortals as a compromise is a very good idea.

Even if he used mortals' words, he wouldn't even have to pay for the good deeds of the family, and the cost would be almost nothing. However, Zhou Chun couldn't do it just because he wanted to use mortals to participate in family affairs.

First of all, the family elders may not agree with this matter.

Secondly, it takes time to find mortals who are suitable to do these things.

Therefore, Zhou Chun planned to privately ask the Zhou family monks stationed in the mortal town to help him find candidates and conduct targeted preliminary training.

After he successfully built his foundation, he truly secured his position as deputy clan leader and had the right to speak.

If you bring this up again, there should be no problem.

While Zhou Chun was secretly planning to do this, Mu Yuntian, a foundation-building cultivator from the Mu family of Biyun Mountain who had originally joined the Qinglian Temple, came to visit the Zhou family.

This Mu Yuntian was originally an inner sect disciple of Qinglian Temple, and the elder brother of Mu Yunshan, the former patriarch of the Mu family. His cultivation had reached the late stage of foundation building.

Originally, the Mu family was prepared to do their utmost to help him break through to the Purple Mansion.

But now that the Mu family has been robbed, not only can he no longer get help from the family, but he also has to step up and take the lead to help the Mu family rebuild. This can be considered bad luck!

At this time, after this person arrived at the Zhou family, he bluntly asked to see Zhou Mingde, the Zhou family's supreme elder.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun had no choice but to ask the second elder Zhou Chongshan to go and report, and invited the person to a side hall next to Zhongping Hall to rest.

Not long after, Zhou Mingde took Zhou Chongshan to the side hall.

As soon as he saw Zhou Mingde, Mu Yuntian, who was still dressed as a Taoist priest, hurried forward and bowed deeply, saying:

"The last time my Mu family was robbed, Senior Zhou was the first one among all the friendly families to come to my Mu family to rescue us. For this kindness and grace, all the surviving cultivators of my Mu family are deeply grateful and can't thank you enough!"

"Now this generation has been granted permission by the sect to return to Lanzhou and rebuild the family."

"That's why I've come to see Senior Zhou today. I'd like to ask you to honor us by going to Biyun Mountain in half a month to attend the Mu family's reconstruction celebration, considering the friendship between our two families."

When Zhou Mingde heard what he said, his eyes suddenly flashed with strangeness, and he couldn't help but say: "Fellow Daoist Mu, you are too polite. The Zhou family and the Mu family are allied families. When the Mu family got into trouble and sent out a smoke signal to ask for help, how could my Zhou family remain indifferent?"

"It's a pity that Zhou was a little slow that day and failed to save the fellow Taoists of the Mu family!"

Having said that, he personally took two steps forward and helped Mu Yuntian up.

Then he continued to look at the other party and said, "However, I am a little confused by what Daoist Brother Mu said just now. Since Daoist Brother Mu said that you came back to rebuild the Mu family with the permission of the sect, will Daoist Brother Mu continue to practice in Qinglian Temple in the future?"

Hearing his words, Mu Yuntian immediately replied respectfully: "To be honest with Senior Zhou, I came back to rebuild the Mu family this time because of the special grace of the sect. They allowed me to stay in the Mu family as a disciple until I can train a new foundation-building cultivator from the current Mu family descendants."

"I see, I understand."

Zhou Mingde nodded slightly, understanding what he meant.

After a moment of hesitation, he shook his head and said, "If that's the case, then it would be inappropriate for me to go. Let the Zhou family's acting patriarch and one of the Zhou family's elders go."

After he said this, Mu Yuntian's eyes showed obvious disappointment.

But I also know that since Zhou Mingde said so, it is impossible to change it.

At that moment, I could only reply, "Yes, since you have no intention to attend, I naturally dare not force you to do so. Then I will wait for you fellow Taoists from the Zhou family to come to Biyun Mountain."

Then he left Zhou's house with disappointment as Zhou Chun saw him off.

When Zhou Chun sent Mu Yuntian away and returned to Pagoda Peak, Zhou Mingde looked at him and several Zhou family elders and suddenly asked, "What do you think of Mu Yuntian staying in the Mu family as a disciple of Qinglian Temple?"

When they heard this, they were all slightly startled, and then they all lowered their heads to think about the purpose of his question.

But perhaps because they were unsure of Zhou Mingde's intention, after thinking for a long time, no one was willing to speak first.

This made Zhou Mingde raise his eyebrows, and he suddenly looked at Zhou Chun and said, "Since the elders are unwilling to speak first, then Zheng Chun, the junior, will speak first about your opinion."

After he mentioned this, Zhou Chun couldn't remain silent and could only respond, "Yes, then I will show you how embarrassing it is."

Then he raised his head and said, "I think that for a large sect like Qinglian Temple, even if some of the senior leaders feel sorry for the Mu family's plight, it is unlikely that they will take the initiative to help the Mu family rebuild in this way."

"So it is highly likely that Mu Yuntian himself made this request to the sect, and the sect leaders either sympathized with the Mu family's plight, or for other reasons, agreed to let him rebuild the Mu family in this way."

At this point, he paused, lowered his voice, and continued, "Whether Mu Yuntian did this because he wanted to use his status as an inner disciple of Qinglian Temple to intimidate other forces that have ideas about the Mu family, or he was reluctant to give up his status as an inner disciple of Qinglian Temple, I dare not say anything!"

"Yes, very well said and very insightful."

Zhou Mingde looked at Zhou Chun with a hint of surprise, then nodded repeatedly, very satisfied with his answer.

After he finished speaking, he looked at the other elders and asked, "What about you? Do you have anything else to add?"

"I feel that Mu Yuntian lacks sincerity. He thanked the Supreme Elder for saving the Mu family, but he only expressed his gratitude verbally and did not even send a decent gift."

Zhou Jiarui also whispered his opinion at this time.

Unexpectedly, after he said this, Zhou Chongshan shook his head and said, "That can't be said. Not giving gifts may also be because he thinks ordinary gifts are not enough to repay this kindness, so he didn't give gifts easily."

"Besides, if the Mu family wants to rebuild, they will have to spend a lot of money. If he is a smart man, he should use every valuable thing he has on rebuilding the family!"

Hearing this, Zhou Jiarui opened his mouth, but still held back the idea of ​​arguing, and finally whispered: "That may be the case!"

Seeing this, Zhou Mingde also shook his head slightly, and waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's stop here for the analysis. You will know what kind of person Mu Yuntian is in the future."

After that, he ordered: "Zhengchun, when you and Jiarui go to the Mu family later, pick out some things that will help the Mu family rebuild as gifts, and don't let people gossip about our Zhou family."

"Yes, junior, I will obey your orders."

Zhou Chun and Zhou Jiarui responded in unison.

Then after Zhou Mingde left, the two of them discussed the specific gift-giving matters with other elders.

After some discussion, they drew up a suitable gift list and prepared the relevant gifts according to the list.

Half a month later, Zhou Chun and Zhou Jiarui brought the prepared gifts and went to the Mu family in Biyun Mountain to keep the appointment.
