Chapter 177: Refusing to compromise, causing great trouble! [Subscribe]

The valuables on Master Jiang were much more than Zhou Chun had expected.

Not to mention the more than 24,000 spirit coins, even the pills he refined were not ordinary stuff.

Among them, there are three kinds of elixirs that can improve the magic power of cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, totaling four bottles, which are worth tens of thousands of spirit coins in total.

In addition, there are also several healing pills with extremely good effects.

There are also many rare alchemy materials in his storage bag, each of which is worth a lot of money.

But the really important things were an alchemy furnace and several commonly used second-grade top-quality magical instruments in his storage bag.

That alchemy furnace is a second-grade mid-level magical weapon. The value of this item alone is comparable to that of a third-grade low-level magical weapon.

The other several second-grade top-grade magical instruments are also rare and exquisite items.

But unfortunately, the Zhou family was unable to keep any of these magical weapons.

Because these things are often used by Master Jiang, the Jiang family must have them on file.

If these things were not handed over, the Jiang family would certainly not easily agree to Zhou Chun's proposed "life and death" solution.

Fortunately, apart from these things that are easily known to others, the Zhou family should be able to keep most of the elixirs and spirit coins.

In addition, some alchemy books found in Master Jiang's storage bag, as well as some of his own alchemy experiences, can be copied and kept.

So Zhou Mingde made a big move and confiscated 18,000 of the spiritual coins and put them into the treasury as public property of the Zhou family.

As for those pills, two bottles were given to Zhou Chun for improving his cultivation and some healing pills.

The rest will be kept by Zhou Mingde for now, and will be rewarded to the foundation-building elders who have made contributions to the family at an appropriate time in the future.

As for the wolf-faced monk, Zhou Chun was only willing to give out the scimitar magic weapon as compensation.

After all, he himself paid a considerable price in that battle, and it was impossible for him to give away all the spoils.

After the division was completed, Zhou Chun immediately took his things and went to Qinglian Temple while the truth of the matter in Lingzhou had not yet been investigated.

Speaking of which, Zhou Chun hasn't been to Qinglian Temple for many years.

Over the years, although he still maintained correspondence with Liu Shiyun of Qinglian Temple and often sent her some Zhou family's special spiritual objects as gifts, he had never seen her again.

The last time the two sides had been in contact was half a year ago. At that time, Liu Shiyun had just broken through to the twelfth level of the Qi Refining Stage. She sounded quite happy and stated that her master had already prepared the Foundation Establishment Pill for her.

Zhou Chun even wrote back to congratulate her.

At this time, after Zhou Chun arrived outside the Qinglian Temple, he still went to the Yingke Taoist Temple first.

But what was different from the past was that this time he didn't need to give any benefits to the receiving monk inside. He directly brought up the name of Taoist Mingxia and expressed his desire to meet Taoist Mingxia.

Faced with a visit of this level, the receiving monk dared not be negligent in the slightest. He warmly invited him to have tea and rest in the upper room, and immediately arranged for someone to go to Qingshuang Cave to deliver the message.

In this way, Zhou Chun just waited in the room for most of the day, and then he saw Liu Shiyun coming over.

"It's been many years since we last met. How are you, Brother Liu?"

Looking at the female cultivator in green who was still wearing a veil over her face, Zhou Chun smiled slightly and greeted her.

When Liu Shiyun heard his words, she looked at his young and handsome face, which seemed to be the same as when they first met, and then thought of his current identity as the deputy patriarch of the Zhou family and a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and her heart was filled with emotion.

She couldn't help but whispered, "I haven't seen you for many years. Brother Zhou is still as charming as ever. I really envy you."

Without waiting for Zhou Chun's response, he continued, "Master learned that Daoist Zhou was coming, so he specially sent Shiyun to greet Daoist Zhou. In order to avoid her waiting for a long time, let's talk while walking."

"Fellow Daoist Liu is right. We can talk about reminiscing about the past later. It is important to get down to business first."

Zhou Chun nodded slightly and immediately followed Liu Shiyun out of the room.

When I got outside, I saw a majestic white fox combing its hair out of boredom.

After seeing the two people coming out, the white-haired fox just glanced at Zhou Chun and then started to "cackle" at Liu Shiyun.

Zhou Chun knew that this white-haired fox was Taoist Mingxia's pet mount and had been trained into a second-level mid-grade monster.

Liu Shiyun was able to come here so quickly, it must be the white-haired fox who brought her here.

Sure enough, after hearing the call of the white-haired fox, Liu Shiyun immediately walked forward and sat diagonally on its back.

Immediately, the white-haired fox leaped forward, and its body instantly rose into the air and flew into the sky.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately flew into the air and followed.

After flying for about an hour, the two arrived at Taoist Mingxia's cave.

"Junior Zhou Zhengchun greets Senior Mingxia."

In the cave, Zhou Chun saw Taoist Mingxia again after many years, and immediately stepped forward to pay his respects.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, there is no need to be so polite. Please sit down and talk."

Taoist Mingxia waved his hand and motioned for him to sit aside.

After Zhou Chun thanked him and sat down, she looked at him and said, "I have read the letter from Taoist Mingde, but many details were not mentioned. Could you please tell me more about it?"

"Yes, junior, I obey."

Zhou Chun responded and immediately started to explain in detail the reasons for the feud between him and Master Jiang and how he killed Master Jiang later.

Of course, he would never admit that he bought the 800-year-old Red Jingzhi to deliberately lure Master Jiang to come and kill him. He only said that he bought it in order to gain benefits from the Li family.

In fact, this was exactly what he intended before he discovered Master Jiang.

After hearing what he said, Taoist Mingxia looked at him for a while in silence.

After pondering for a while, he nodded slightly and said, "If what you said is true, then you are indeed right in this matter."

"However, the Lingzhou Jiang family is not insignificant. Their family has been rooted in Lingzhou for thousands of years. There are also members of their family in our sect, and that Master Jiang is an important member of their family."

"If they insist on not accepting mediation and insist on avenging Master Jiang, I can't force them to do so!"

She and the Zhou family have a mutually beneficial relationship, based purely on mutual interests.

If the relationship was just this little bit, she certainly wouldn't go all out to do something for the Zhou family, unless the Zhou family gave her a lot!

Zhou Chun was also aware of this.

So he immediately said: "Senior, just do your best. Regardless of success or failure, I and the Zhou family will remember your kindness."

But Taoist Mingxia suddenly looked at him and asked, "Let me ask you a question. If we really fight to the death, how sure are you that you will win, Brother Zhou?"

Zhou Chun didn't know why she asked that, but he still answered: "I am practicing the art of fighting, and my spirit pet is also a second-level monster. If we really fight to the death, I should have a 70% chance of winning!"

"Seventy percent confidence, that's really not low!"

Taoist Mingxia nodded slightly, then fell silent again.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, she looked at Zhou Chun and said, "Then I will go to the Jiang family in Lingzhou to see if they are willing to accept a life-and-death fight. You should not rush home yet, just wait for me in this cave!"

"Junior obeys your command. I'll leave everything to you, senior." After Zhou Chun finished speaking, he stood up and bowed deeply.

Next, Taoist Mingxia just gave his disciples a few instructions and left the cave directly.

Zhou Chun was also warmly received by Liu Shiyun and her daughter.

"To say that practicing in Qinglian Temple is all good, it's just that sometimes I feel bored when I'm free, and it's not easy to go out. There are not many Taoist friends with similar temperaments who can drink and have fun together!"

"After Shiyun succeeds in building her foundation, I, Old Liu, will go out and find a safe place to live alone, and enjoy the remaining decades of my life!"

At the dinner table, after three rounds of dishes, Liu Qingshan, who already had white hair, suddenly expressed his feelings about his current life to Zhou Chun with a look of emotion on his face.

Although relatives of inner disciples of Qinglian Temple like him can be allowed to practice inside the mountain gate.

However, if you want to walk in and out of the mountain gate, you must be accompanied by a relative.

This alone made it very inconvenient for them to enter and exit, so they tried to reduce their entry and exit as much as possible.

If it were those monks who were in pairs, perhaps they could have each other's company and stay alone in a cave for a long time.

But Liu Qingshan was alone, and it was obvious that he was tired of it after staying there for more than ten years.

Of course, the most important thing is that his cultivation has already reached the twelfth level of the Qi Refining Stage. Even if he meditates and practices, it will not have any effect. It is also impossible for him to obtain spiritual objects to build his foundation.

His daughter has a bright future ahead of her and doesn't need his care or help anymore.

It can be said that there is no point in continuing to practice for the rest of my life.

So Zhou Chun was not surprised that he had such feelings now.

He immediately smiled and said, "If Brother Liu really feels that Qinglian Temple is too idle and wants to go out for fun, he can go to our Zhouchang Residence."

"I don't want you to do any guarding for the Zhou family. I just want you to be a teacher for the younger generation of cultivators in my Zhou family in your free time and teach them how to survive in the world of immortal cultivation."

Hearing his words, Liu Qingshan's eyes lit up and he immediately responded, "Then let's make it like this. After Shiyun successfully builds her foundation, I will go to the Zhou family to join Brother Zhou."

"Hahaha, then I will be waiting for Brother Liu to come to the Zhou family."

Zhou Chun laughed, raised his glass and clinked it with his again, then tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

After the meal was over, when Liu Shiyun made some tea for them to sober up, Zhou Chun looked at her and said, "Speaking of which, I have a small matter that I would like to ask Brother Liu for help with."

"What's the matter? Daoist Zhou, please feel free to tell me."

Liu Shiyun was slightly stunned, then agreed very readily.

"It's like this. I heard from Daoist Liu that your third sister is a skilled craftsman who is good at making robes. It just so happens that I got a piece of top-quality leather a while ago. I would like to ask Daoist Liu to help you ask your sister to make a robe for me."

As Zhou Chun spoke, he took out the fur of the mutant gold-eating rat king from his collection.

"This is the fur of a second-level monster!"

Liu Qingshan, who was standing by, just glanced at the fur in Zhou Chun's hand and spoke in surprise.

"It is the fur of the second-level monster, the mutated Gold-Eating Rat King."

Zhou Chun nodded, then looked at Liu Shiyun.

Under his gaze, Liu Shiyun said without hesitation: "This is a small matter. It just so happens that Senior Sister is practicing in the cave now. Shiyun will help Brother Zhou to deliver the things to Senior Sister. She will definitely be willing to help Shiyun."

"Thank you very much, Brother Liu."

A smile flashed across Zhou Chun's face, and he immediately handed the fur of the mutant gold-eating rat king to Liu Shiyun.

And Liu Shiyun did go to find her senior sister very quickly.

Less than an hour later, she returned to her residence and said to Zhou Chun who was waiting there with a smile, "Third Senior Sister said that the materials this time are very good, and she needs to think carefully about how to make them. Maybe Brother Zhou will have to wait two or three months before receiving the robes."

"Zhou understands. Thank you again, Brother Liu, for your help."

Zhou Chun nodded and thanked him again.

After he stayed in Qingshuang Cave for two days, Taoist Mingxia, who had gone to Lingzhou, came back.

But when Zhou Chun saw her in Taoist Mingxia's cave, his heart sank.

Because her frowning expression didn't look like she had accomplished anything successfully.

Sure enough, before Zhou Chun could bow and ask about the situation, Taoist Mingxia shook his head and said, "I'm really sorry. I've tried my best, but the Jiang family doesn't want to accept a life-and-death fight as a solution, and they said they will get to the bottom of it!"

"And I also learned from the Jiang family about the other late foundation building cultivator killed by you, Fellow Daoist Zhou. That person is also a big shot. He is from Tianjing Villa, a Lingzhou independent cultivator organization. His master is a registered disciple of Tianjing Villa. I'm afraid he will cause more trouble than the Jiang family!"

What? The monk with the wolf-face mask has such a history?

Zhou Chun was shocked, and a hint of panic appeared in his eyes.

Tianjing Sanren is a famous Jindan-stage cultivator throughout the Jing Kingdom, and he is also a Jindan-late stage cultivator.

The Zhou family could never afford to provoke such an existence.

Moreover, Zhou Chun did not forget that the "Qiyun League", an organization of independent cultivators in Lanzhou that was defeated by the five major immortal cultivation families, was founded by Tang Yuan, a registered disciple of Tianjing Sanren.

If the master of the wolf-masked monk were to really trace the Zhou family, then the new and old grudges would pile up and the Zhou family would be in real danger!

"How could this be? How could this be!?"

Zhou Chun muttered to himself, already somewhat confused.

It doesn’t matter that the Jiang family is unwilling to give up. The Zhou family has Zhou Daoyi’s Green Dragon and is not afraid of them.

However, if Tianjing Villa also attacks the Zhou family, even if Tianjing Sanren, a Jindan-stage cultivator, does not take action, the Zhou family will definitely not be able to resist.

If it really comes to that, he will really become a sinner of the Zhou family!

How could he not panic?

Just when Zhou Chun was so frightened by the news revealed by Taoist Mingxia and didn't know what to do, Taoist Mingxia looked at him and spoke again.

"If you don't have any other way to resolve this disaster, I just happen to have a way to help you and the Zhou family get through this disaster safely, and I can guarantee that the Jiang family and Tianjing Villa won't dare to pursue it in the future!"

Does she have a solution?

Zhou Chun was shocked, like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, and hurriedly bowed to Taoist Mingxia and said, "Please teach me, senior!"

But Taoist Mingxia waved his hand and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, don't be too happy. Although this method of mine can help you and the Zhou family get through this disaster safely, it is extremely dangerous for you. You should think carefully before you decide whether to follow this method or not!"

But even though she said so, Zhou Chun still couldn't hide his joy, and hurriedly responded: "Yes, I am all ears to your teachings, senior, and I hope you can teach me."

"This matter is a secret of our sect that is not to be passed on to outsiders. Brother Zhou, you have only heard it today. Don't spread it when you leave, so as not to bring disaster upon yourself and the Zhou family."

Taoist Mingxia first warned Zhou Chun, and then slowly told him his own plan.
