Chapter 172: Huge Profits! The Evolution Plan of Rock Turtle [Subscribe]

There were nearly four thousand corpses of golden rats, and even though many of them had died from electric shock and shrunk a lot in size, it was not an easy task to move them all out.

The three Qi Refining Stage monks went down and up, up and down again, and made two trips back and forth before they transported all the bodies up.

It was also fortunate that there were silver electric thunder pythons dragging them from top to bottom, otherwise, if they relied on themselves, they would probably have collapsed from exhaustion.

After a unified count on the ground, the total number of gold-eating rat corpses brought up was as high as 3,937, which was slightly more than Zhou Chun had estimated.

This was because the bodies of the gold-eating rats he had killed on the way down were also collected later.

"Let's just make 3,900 of them. The remaining ones will be considered as the hard work fee for these three Taoist friends."

Zhou Chun waved his hand and cleared the remainder generously.

Seeing this act of generosity towards others, Zhao Deyan's eyes twitched and he cursed in his heart.

He just asked.

Originally, the three Qi Refining Stage monks wanted to leave some of the gold-eating rat corpses behind.

They didn't expect that if they didn't collect the bodies, the Silver Electric Thunder Python would not bring them up. Not only that, it also blocked the way up and didn't let them come up by themselves.

It’s so bullying!

This is really treating the Zhao family as local rich people and taking advantage of them!

At this time, he said with a gloomy face: "Three thousand nine hundred gold-eating rat corpses are equivalent to 11,700 spirit coins. I can't take out such a large amount of spirit coins now. I have to go back to the family to get the money. Fellow Daoist Zhou may have to wait for two days."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun nodded repeatedly and said, "I understand. I can still wait for this amount of time."

"so be it!"

Zhao Deyan flicked his sleeves and left immediately.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun was also contented and returned to the Zhao family mine camp to rest.

Two days later, Zhao Deyan found him and threw several sacks in front of him.

"These bags contain 11,700 spirit coins. Fellow Daoist Zhou, please count them."

One spirit coin weighs about half a tael, and more than ten thousand spirit coins alone weigh more than five hundred kilograms.

If it were a mortal, he would not be able to take so many spirit coins away.

Zhou Chun didn't bother to be polite with Zhao Deyan at this time, and counted them one by one with his spiritual sense.

After finally confirming that it was correct, he nodded with a smile on his face and said, "Yes, the number is completely correct. Thank you, Senior Zhao."

After saying this, he bowed to Zhao Deyan to express his gratitude.

Zhao Deyan waved his hand and said, "Since the numbers match, Brother Zhou should quickly pack up and go home. Otherwise, if you stay for too long, once the news leaks out, you will inevitably be targeted by bad guys!"

"That's exactly what I think."

Zhou Chun responded, bowed again and said, "Then I will not bother Senior Zhao any more. I will take my leave now."

"Mr. Zhou, please leave in a friendly way."

Zhao Deyan said this and watched Zhou Chun leave the camp.

In fact, in general, Zhou Chun caused the Zhao family to bleed a lot this time.

However, compared with the threat posed by the mutated gold-eating rat king to the golden iron ore veins, this loss is completely within their tolerance.

After all, the pure profit that this Yaojin iron ore vein brings to the Zhao family is tens of thousands of spirit coins a year.

Now that Zhou Chun has eliminated the mutated gold-eating rat king and the large number of gold-eating rats it has gathered, he doesn't have to worry about the mine being threatened by rats for at least ten years.

In the future, as long as the Zhao family invests more money in controlling the rat infestation, they may not encounter rat infestation again until the Yaojin iron ore vein is mined out.

Therefore, it is impossible to say that Zhao Deyan had any hatred towards Zhou Chun.

Just over 10,000 spirit coins is a huge sum of money for a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, but it is not that meaningful for a cultivator in the Purple Mansion Stage.

Therefore, Zhou Chun had a smooth journey back and did not encounter any attacks from the Zhao family.

Just as he thought, as a Jindan family, they still have to maintain this bit of face.

After returning to Jiufengling safely and smoothly, Zhou Chun breathed a sigh of relief and smiled widely.

This trip to Cangzhou was undoubtedly a huge profit for him!
Not to mention the Earth Spirit Stone Milk that was hard to buy even with spirit coins, the more than 10,000 spirit coins snatched from the Zhao family alone was a huge sum of money.

With such a huge sum of money at hand, if he comes across something that catches his eye in the future, he won't have to worry about not having enough money.

“It’s true that small money depends on hard work, big money depends on fate!”

"For an ordinary foundation-building cultivator to work hard for a year, it would be good if he could earn more than a thousand spirit coins. If he could save half of it after deducting expenses, it would be considered amazing."

"If you want to make a lot of money, you still need good luck!"

Zhou Chun couldn't help but express his feelings and was deeply moved.

However, luck also needs to be supported by strength, and a blacksmith must be strong himself.

If you are not strong enough, even if the opportunity comes, you may not be able to seize it.

Therefore, as a cultivator, improving your cultivation strength at any time is the most important thing.

After returning to his family, Zhou Chun handed over the useless Fire God Jackal and told them about his experience in Cangzhou.

As he was talking, when he was talking about the unexpected discovery he made when he searched the rat king's lair after killing the mutated gold-eating rat king, he reached out and slapped his storage bag, taking out two things.

"This is the corpse of the mutant gold-eating rat king and the special ore. I don't know what this is, so I would like to ask the Supreme Elder to help me take a look."

A few pieces of golden ore and the corpse of a giant golden rat covered in golden hair.

Zhou Mingde looked at the two objects, and quickly waved his hand to take one of the palm-sized pieces of ore into his hand.

He held the ore in his hand and examined it intently, then nodded thoughtfully and said, "If I am not mistaken, this should be a mutant ore that has mutated after the Yaojin Iron Ore accidentally absorbed the rich earth-type spiritual energy."

"Didn't you say that the location of the rat's nest is close to a ground vein node? It is very likely that these mutated ores are formed by the golden iron ore being nourished by the ground vein power at the ground vein node for a long time."

At this point, Zhou Mingde glanced at the corpse of the mutated gold-eating rat king again and said softly, "Gold-eating rats can improve their own cultivation strength by devouring spiritual gold ore. This mutated gold-eating rat king must have devoured and digested a large amount of this mutated ore, which caused his bloodline to mutate as well, thus breaking the shackles of his bloodline."

When Zhou Chun heard what he said, his expression suddenly changed, and he couldn't help asking: "My rock turtle can also devour some ores, so can we let it devour the remaining mutant ores?"

Zhou Mingde was slightly startled when he heard this, then nodded and said, "You can let it swallow a small piece first and try it out. If it can really digest it and benefit from it, then you can give it a try!"

"Junior understands, thank you for clearing up my confusion, Grand Elder!"

Zhou Chun thanked him and left impatiently, returning to his residence to experiment. As soon as he returned to his residence, he called out the rock turtle.

"Come here, Stone, open your mouth."

In the yard, Zhou Chun reached out and touched the rock turtle's head. After it opened its mouth, he threw a fist-sized piece of mutant ore into its mouth and let it try to digest it.

After the rock turtle swallowed the ore raw, he whispered, "How does it feel? Can you digest it?"

Yantugui immediately nodded slightly and answered through the mental connection.

It can be digested, but the digestion rate is very slow.

"It doesn't matter if you're slow. Just digest this ore first and see the effect. Don't eat the Earth Spirit Stone Milk for now."

Zhou Chun patted the pet's head and let it lie down in the yard to digest the food slowly. Then he went into the room and dealt with the corpse of the mutated gold-eating rat king.

What he said about wanting to study the corpse was, of course, false.

The situation of how this mutated gold-eating rat king mutated is basically clear, and there is nothing much to study.

Zhou Chun was mainly attracted by the fur of the mutated gold-eating rat king.

This mutated gold-eating rat king was first stunned by electricity and then nailed to death. Except for the scratches and damage on his buttocks caused by "Flying Dragon", his fur was in very complete condition.

Such complete fur is very suitable for making robes.

Zhou Chun planned to peel off the rat skin and ask someone to make him a rat skin coat later!
I saw him peeling off a complete rat skin by himself in no time.

After the peeled rat skin is slightly cleaned, it looks like a work of art, beautiful and eye-catching.

After Zhou Chun picked it up and looked at it, he put it into his storage bag with satisfaction.

Then he knocked off the mutant gold-eating rat king's mouth full of golden teeth. These were also very good materials for refining weapons. Perhaps they could be refined into buttons for robes.

Zhou Chun gave the remaining flesh, blood and bones to the Silver Lightning Thunder Python Baibai. After all, it had contributed a lot!
After distributing the harvest in this way, Zhou Chun handed over the numerous spiritual gold ores he had collected to the family and exchanged them for family good deeds.

After stealing more than 10,000 spirit coins from the Zhao family, he no longer cared much about the profits that could be obtained from these spirit gold ores.

From then on, Zhou Chun's daily routine returned to the same as before he went to Cangzhou. Besides practicing and handling clan affairs, he also practiced secret techniques.

Now, in his spare time after daily practice, Zhou Chun practices a secret technique recorded in the outer chapter of "The Mysterious Art of the Golden Tripod".

This secret technique is called "Flowing Golden Rainbow" and is an extremely unique secret technique.

Its uniqueness lies in the fact that it can be used for both attack and defense, as well as escape.

Once this technique is mastered, a special spiritual power can be condensed in the Dantian. When used, it can be transformed into golden rainbow light to attack the enemy's defense and escape.

When used for attack, it can split the earth and mountains, and its sharpness is unmatched.

Used for defense, it is hard to be damaged by water or fire and is indestructible.

Used for escaping, it can be wrapped around the body and carried away at extremely high speeds, several times faster than flying with Qi.

This kind of powerful and widely used secret technique can only be successfully practiced by a cultivator with extremely high magical power like Zhou Chun.

If it were an ordinary foundation-building cultivator, even if he had the secret method of cultivation, he would not have the conditions to practice.

But this technique is also extremely difficult to practice.

After practicing for a month, Zhou Chun still hadn't found any clues and his progress was very slow.

Fortunately, his current strength is not weak, so he is not too anxious about it and keeps a calm mind.

Almost three months after returning from Cangzhou, the Geochelone finally digested the mutated ore it had swallowed.

"You said you felt your blood was more active? Are you sure you're not wrong?"

In the yard, Zhou Chun looked at the rock turtle with surprise, and was both surprised and happy at its response.

Originally I just wanted to give it a try, but I didn't expect that the mutated ore would actually have an effect on the Geochelone.

This made him couldn't help but have more fantasies.

Since the gold-eating rat has devoured the mutated ore, its bloodline can mutate into a mutated gold-eating rat king.

Can the Rock Turtle also undergo bloodline mutation as a result?
Obviously, compared with normal breakthrough evolution, bloodline mutation evolution is more powerful.

Generally, the upper limit of potential of monsters will be raised after their bloodline mutation, and there is a possibility of continuing to mutate a second or even a third time in the future.

At the same time, this kind of mutation will also make the monster's strength much stronger than normal breakthrough evolution after its evolution.

If the Rock Turtle can really evolve through blood mutation, then its future potential for achievement may not be much worse than that of the Silver Thunder Python.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chun couldn't help but look at the rock turtle with a sharp gaze and said, "Shitou, how about we make a bet?"

"I will feed you all the remaining mutant ores and earth spirit milk at once, and then bury you in the ground veins under Jiufeng Mountain. You can rest assured and sleep there using the tortoise breathing method!"

That’s it!
Zhou Chun quickly found the supreme elder Zhou Mingde and told him his idea.

After listening to his idea, Zhou Mingde also thought it was worth a try.

So the two of them went together to find Zhou Chongshan, the formation master in the family, and asked him to lead them to find the ground vein node under Jiufeng Ridge, and then buried the rock turtle that swallowed dozens of kilograms of ore and earth spirit stone milk at one time.

After watching the rock turtle being completely buried in the mud like a stone without any breath leaking out, Zhou Mingde couldn't help but sigh to Zhou Chun: "If this can really succeed, then the potential of your rock turtle will be limitless in the future. Maybe it can also open up a new route for the family to cultivate monsters like rock turtles!"

"I hope it will succeed!"

Zhou Chun sighed softly. Now that the time had come, he was not as confident as before.

In the following period of time, Zhou Chun continued to practice the secret technique at home while waiting for good news from the Rock Turtle.

After more than five months of practice, Zhou Chun had almost reached the threshold of the "Flowing Golden Rainbow" secret technique, and felt that it would not take long before he could successfully practice this secret technique.

But before Zhou Chun could master the secret technique of "Flowing Golden Rainbow", he had to go out again.

It turned out that the Zhou family had received news that an underground auction was about to be held in the Dongling Market in Lingzhou, and there might be Foundation Establishment Pills leaking out.

Now that the third elder Zhou Daoquan of the Zhou family is not in the family, and the second elder Zhou Chongshan cannot be moved lightly, only the clan leader Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Chun are suitable for this kind of inter-state business.

However, it is not convenient for Zhou Daoyi to take the green dragon out for a walk, so as to avoid exposing its existence after encountering a battle.

So Zhou Chun had no choice but to take the Fire God Jackal to Lingzhou.

"Dongling Market? I wonder if we can find a chance to lure Master Jiang out this time!"

Zhou Chun, who took on the task, had a gleam in his eyes and couldn't help but think of the loss he had suffered a few years ago.

I am so tired! I have been updating 8,000 words every day since the book was put on the shelves. I haven't taken a day off. I feel that my condition is not good! But there is no other way. This book is really at a dead end. I must make achievements. I can only grit my teeth and persevere. I will update 8,000 words twice a day. I will definitely do it!
