Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Chapter 148: Betrayal and powerful enemies attack [Subscribe]

Zhou Jiapeng's success in building the foundation brought the number of Zhou family's foundation-building cultivators to seven, and the family's strength was greatly enhanced again.

In just over a decade, the Zhou family has trained four foundation-building cultivators. The strength demonstrated by the family has shocked many Lanzhou immortal cultivation families.

For an ordinary immortal cultivation family, such as the Mu family in the past, it is considered very good if it can cultivate a foundation-building cultivator in twenty or thirty years.

Stronger immortal cultivation families, such as the Wang family of Hongyao Valley, can usually only train one foundation-building cultivator within twenty years, or sometimes even none.

In just less than twenty years, the Zhou family has trained four foundation-building monks!
How could this speed not scare other families?

In addition, Zhou Mingde, the current Purple Mansion Stage cultivator of the Zhou family, is in his prime, but his life span is less than 300 years.

No matter who looks at the Zhou family now, they know that its rise is unstoppable.

The status of the Lanzhou immortal cultivation clan is as stable as Mount Tai!

"I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. I will never forget your kindness in helping me achieve my goal!"

"If you need my help in the future, please don't be polite to me!"

Zhou Jiapeng, who had just successfully completed his mission, came to Zhou Chun's residence to express his gratitude to him.

Only those who have personally experienced the dangerous stage of foundation building will know how difficult this stage is.

Although the Shengling Fruit is not as effective as the Foundation Establishment Pill, it is also of great help in foundation building.

Zhou Jiapeng might not have felt anything at the time, but when he came out and learned that another brother of his clan had failed and died, he was covered in cold sweat and filled with relief.

Therefore, he was naturally grateful to Zhou Chun who helped him a lot when exchanging for the Spiritual Upgrading Fruit.

Facing Zhou Jiapeng's grateful words, Zhou Chun smiled and said, "Uncle Peng, you are too polite. You are blessed to have achieved success in one go. I am just helping you get an opportunity."

"That's what I said, but if I didn't have this opportunity with your help, I'm afraid I might not be able to successfully build my foundation in this lifetime!"

Zhou Jiapeng shook his head slightly, his tone filled with regret.

He had lived for more than sixty years, but he had witnessed many cultivators at the twelfth level of Qi Refining who did not dare to risk their lives to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and ended up dying alone with regrets for the rest of their lives.

Compared to those people, he is so lucky.

As soon as one's cultivation reaches the standard for building a foundation, one can achieve success in one go by taking foundation-building spiritual objects.

In short, just as he said, he will remember Zhou Chun's kindness for the rest of his life.

Just over half a month after Zhou Jiapeng came out of seclusion after building his foundation, Zhou Chun once again received news from the Wang family of Hongyao Valley.

Master Jiang from Dongling Market has successfully exchanged for the Yangmai Pill and specially invited Zhou Chun to go over to exchange.

After learning the news, Zhou Chun hurriedly went to find the third elder Zhou Daoquan and asked him to go with him again.

Just like before, the two of them took almost two days to reach Dongling Market, and then went straight to Master Jiang's pharmacy.

"Nice to meet you again, Master Jiang."

In the backyard of the pharmacy, when Zhou Chun saw Master Jiang, he smiled and bowed to him.

Upon seeing this, Master Jiang returned the greeting with a smile on his face and said, "Yes, Brother Zhou, you are finally here."

After that, he looked at Zhou Chun expectantly and said, "I have already exchanged the Yangmai Pill. Did you bring the spiritual incense that Brother Zhou promised?"

"It's natural."

Zhou Chun nodded, then reached out and patted the storage bag on his waist, and took out a jade bottle.

This jade bottle contains three ounces of musk deer's scent.

It was the one or two ounces he used up in the previous exchange for the Meridian Protecting Pill. Of the half pound of spiritual incense he had obtained from the fragrant spirit musk deer, only one or two ounces were left.

"Okay, then please inspect this Yangmai Pill, Brother Zhou."

Master Jiang cheered, slapped the storage bag on his waist, took out a pill bottle and handed it to Zhou Chun.

Then the two of them checked the items in each other's hands, and after confirming that they were all authentic, they smiled at each other and put away the items in their hands.

After completing the transaction, Master Jiang looked at Zhou Chun and the other two and said with a smile, "Last time, you two Daoists left in a hurry without even a glass of water or wine. Could you please give me a cup of tea this time?"

Hearing his words, Zhou Chun's expression changed slightly, and then he smiled and said, "Speaking of tea, Master Jiang, why don't you drink some of the spiritual tea produced by Zhou's family!"

After saying that, he slapped the storage bag on his waist, took out a set of tea sets, and brewed a pot of tea in front of Master Jiang.

After the tea was brewed, Zhou Chun took out a small jade bottle and dripped a dozen drops of golden honey into the teapot.

"Come on, Master Jiang, try it and see how it tastes!"

Zhou Chun poured three cups of tea, one for himself and one for Zhou Daoquan. He then pushed the last cup to Master Jiang and asked him to taste the tea with a smile.

"Okay, then Jiang will not be polite."

Master Jiang looked at the tea in front of him and pondered for a while, then smiled and took a sip of the tea.

Then he nodded quickly and said, "Good tea, it's really good tea!"

"This spiritual honey is a special spiritual product of our family. The annual production is very rare. It can be used to mix spiritual tea. No matter what kind of tea, it can greatly enhance its flavor and make people linger on it."

Zhou Chun explained with a smile as he handed the jade bottle of spiritual honey to Master Jiang and said, "If Master Jiang likes it, this small bottle of spiritual honey will be given to you as a gift!"

A master alchemist is still worth making friends with.

If he really likes the spiritual honey from Zhou's family, he can use the spiritual honey to exchange for the precious elixir in his hand in the future.

Master Jiang seemed to really like the taste of spiritual honey, and he took the jade bottle without hesitation and said, "Then I won't be polite."

Then, when he put away the jade bottle, he also took out a small wine jar and handed it to Zhou Chun: "This jar of medicinal wine is also brewed by Jiang's unique secret recipe. Brother Zhou may wish to take it back and taste it slowly."

"Then Zhou must really taste it when he returns."

Zhou Chun said this and accepted the jar of wine with a smile.

After exchanging gifts, Zhou Chun took the opportunity to say goodbye.

Master Jiang did not keep them this time. Just like last time, he sent them outside the pharmacy.

After watching them go away, he returned to the house in the backyard.

Then, looking at the tea set on the table that still smelled of tea, a sneer suddenly appeared on his face.

Then he murmured, "Jiufengling Zhou family? This Lingzhou is not Lanzhou, and the road is not as peaceful as that in Lanzhou!"

After saying that, he sat down leisurely, poured himself another cup of almost cold tea, and slowly tasted it. On the other side, after Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoquan left the market, they rode Zhu Yanhe all the way to the family just like last time.

But what the two did not realize was that shortly after they left the market town and took off, a pair of eyes with blue light in the forest below stared at them.

"How is it? Did you see the result, Old Man?"

In the forest, Su Qiang looked at his second brother in front of him with a calm expression and asked in a low voice.

Su Qiang and Wei Tong are both famous foundation-building cultivators in Lingzhou. Although they are foundation-building cultivators, they like to be alone and do not join any organization like other cultivators, or establish their own organization.

Among them, although Su Qiang is only in the middle stage of foundation building, because he is practicing some extremely powerful skills, his actual combat power is stronger than many cultivators in the late stage of foundation building, and he once had a record of defeating cultivators in the late stage of foundation building.

Wei Tong, who is also in the middle stage of foundation building, has average fighting ability, but he has practiced a secret technique called "Cloud-piercing Eyes". With his eyes, he can see through the clouds and spot cultivators dozens of miles away.

The two therefore cooperated with each other and would often secretly rob and kill Foundation Establishment monks to obtain their property.

This time, the two of them knew the news in advance and knew that two "fat sheep" would come out of Dongling Market, so they waited outside in advance.

Seeing the target coming out of the market and flying away, Wei Tong, who was hiding in the forest, immediately cast a spell to secretly spy on the target.

After spying for a while, Wei Tong said, "No problem. I didn't see any third-level monsters in the spirit beast bags of those two people. They probably didn't carry the rumored third-level monsters with them!"

"Okay, let's do it!"

Su Qiang clapped his hands hard and immediately arranged: "I will deal with the old man, you take down the young man first, and then we will work together to kill the old man!"

"no problem."

Wei Tong responded, then patted the storage bag on his waist and summoned a green flying boat with two fish fins.

He and Su Qiang jumped onto the green flying boat together, and then with a push of their magic power, the green flying boat soared into the sky and quickly flew into the sky.

In this way, the two of them followed Zhou Chun and the others from a distance, waiting for the opportunity to take action.

After following for a while, Su Qiang suddenly said, "Okay, we are already more than 300 miles away from the market town, and there are no cultivator settlements within 200 miles. We can follow them and start!"

"clear."

Wei Tong responded and immediately activated the acceleration power attached to the magic weapon.

Suddenly, the two fish fins under the green flying boat magic weapon emitted green light and moved like oars.

Suddenly, the flying speed of the green flying boat magic weapon increased by several times.

"Oh no! Someone is following us!"

On Zhu Yanhe's back, Zhou Daoquan seemed to have discovered something. His face changed drastically and he quickly turned around to look behind him.

Under the blue sky behind them, they saw a green light chasing towards them at a high speed.

"I can't escape! The opponent is too fast!"

Zhou Daoquan was experienced. Just by looking at the speed of the green light, he knew that he had no chance of escape.

So he hurriedly ordered Zhu Yanhe to dive towards the ground.

Of course, cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage can fight in the air, but Zhou Daoquan knows that Zhou Chun has not yet switched to practicing martial arts, and his current strength is considered weak among cultivators of the same level, so aerial combat is not suitable for him.

Moreover, Zhou Daoquan's other pet, the Earth Armored Bear, can also exert its combat effectiveness when it stands on the ground.

Zhu Yanhe swooped down at a high speed and soon landed on the ground.

At this time, Zhou Daoquan stretched out his hand and patted the spirit beast bag on his waist, releasing a gray-yellow giant bear monster that was nearly three meters long.

Then he said to Zhou Chun, who was full of doubt, "The enemy's strength is unknown. I will let the Earth Armor Bear protect you. After we find out the enemy's strength, we will make adjustments according to the situation!"

"Junior understands."

Zhou Chun nodded, without trying to be stubborn and saying that he didn't need protection.

He hasn't even changed his cultivation method yet, nor has he mastered the secret technique, his spirit pet hasn't been promoted to the second level, and he hasn't even mastered a single second-level spell.

In this case, even if he had refined several second-level magic weapons, his combat effectiveness would only be slightly better than that of some counterfeit foundation-building cultivators.

Just as Zhou Chun was preparing for battle by taking out his magic weapon, the green light finally flew near them.

"They are two cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building!"

Zhou Daoquan's spiritual sense was the first to discover the cultivation level of the two people on the green flying boat, and his tone was slightly relieved.

His face darkened, and he looked at the two who dared to come and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you? Why are you chasing us?"

"Of course it's the people who killed you!"

Su Qiang smiled coldly, then jumped off the flying boat, waved his hand and swung a big sword burning with red flames towards Zhou Daoquan.

Upon seeing this, Wei Tong sneered, raised his hand to put away the green flying boat magic weapon, and summoned a pair of green and black mandarin duck double swords to slash towards Zhou Chun.

"How brave!"

Zhou Daoquan shouted loudly, and with his magic power, he controlled a magic weapon with a yellow glow to face the flaming sword.

I saw the two magical weapons colliding and clashing in mid-air, with flames and yellow light splashing everywhere, and it was a fight that was evenly matched.

At this time, Su Qiang made hand seals with his hands, and suddenly a ball of red-gold flame emerged from his palms, and then he pushed his palms forward.

boom!
The ball of red-gold flame suddenly expanded and instantly turned into a red-gold stream of fire that swept towards Zhou Daoquan.

Before the streak of red-gold fire came close to him, a wave of scorching heat made Zhou Daoquan's face hot. His mind, which had been slightly relaxed because his opponent was a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, was suddenly tensed to the extreme.

"Damn it! This person is actually practicing the method of fighting!"

The so-called fighting method is the name given by cultivators to those techniques that require an extremely slow cultivation speed but can still master great powers.

Zhou Daoquan didn't expect that the other party, who looked younger than him, had actually cultivated this fighting method to the middle stage of foundation building. What kind of talent is this!
Without time to think about it, he immediately ordered Zhu Yanhe to spit out a column of red fire to slightly block the stream of fire.

Then he quickly took out a copper-yellow magic bell instrument, releasing circles of yellow light waves towards the red-gold fire.

Finally, he waved his hands and made hand seals. Soon, a yellow light emanated from his body, forming a thick yellow shield that protected him.

Almost immediately after the yellow shield was formed, the red-gold stream of fire that swept in like a flood defeated the red pillars of fire and the circles of yellow light waves one after another, and directly submerged Zhou Daoquan.

The red-gold flames and the yellow spiritual light complemented each other. After a while, Zhou Daoquan finally used his profound magic power to exhaust the power of Su Qiang's spell and successfully walked out.

But at this time, red-gold flames were already surging in Su Qiang's palm, and the second attack was ready!
