Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Chapter 197 The descendants of the Zhou family go to the wilderness again [Subscription Request]

Zhou Chun didn't care what kind of trouble Lin Hongyu encountered.

He only cared about whether the three purple-veined golden peaches could be exchanged back to the Zhou family.

But now that Lin Hongyu specifically wants the Red Bright Flowing Pearl Pill in exchange, he and the Zhou family have no other options for the time being and can only try to gather some information.

So Zhou Chun quickly shifted the topic to the Zhou family's internal affairs.

He then asked, "During the two years since I left, has the family been doing well? Has the Jiang family and Tianjing Villa made any moves?"

Hearing his words, Zhou Daoyi immediately replied: "Everything is fine in the family. In the past two years, the family has gained a foundation-building cultivator named Zheng Yuan, and many new members!"

"As for the Jiang family and Tianjing Villa, apart from the fact that the Jiang family sent someone to ask for the remains of Master Jiang, there has been no response from Tianjing Villa."

When Zhou Daoyi said this, Zhou Mingde snorted coldly: "Humph, the Jiang family actually dared to send people to ask for Master Jiang's relics. It's really giving them face!"

No wonder he was so angry.

In order to settle this feud, the Zhou family not only took the trouble to ask Taoist Mingxia to act as a middleman to convey the message of peace, but also expressed their willingness to return Master Jiang's relics and let Zhou Chun fight a life-and-death battle with the people sent by their family.

As a result, the Jiang family refused without hesitation, as if they had already defeated the Zhou family.

This made Zhou Mingde very angry.

Not only Zhou Mingde was angry, Zhou Chun's face also darkened after hearing what Zhou Daoyi said.

He immediately said in a cold voice: "Does the Jiang family really think they can defeat our Zhou family? How ridiculous!"

In terms of true strength, the Zhou family is not afraid of the Jiang family.

The reason why he begged for peace in such a humble manner before was simply because he didn't want all the cultivators in the entire family to take the blame for his personal affairs.

But now that the Jiang family is still stubborn, the Zhou family can only confront them head-on.

"I have gained a lot from the Hualong Sect this time, especially from Senior Lu Ran who possessed the body of the alien scaly frog. If we can make friends with him and establish a good cooperative relationship with him, then our Zhou family will be able to obtain various rare treasures from the waters of Longyuan Lake from him in the future!"

"I have also learned a lot about the situation in the wilderness. In the future, I can lead a team to establish a hidden base there to collect resources."

"By then, with the support of the resources of Longyuanze and the wilderness, it will be difficult for our Zhou family not to take off!"

When Zhou Chun got to this point, he recounted what he had seen and heard when he accompanied Guo Chen in plundering the alien tribe of scaled frogs.

Zhou Mingde had already known about Lu Ran, a member of the scaly frog alien race, so it was okay.

Zhou Daoyi, who heard about Lu Ran's situation for the first time, was extremely surprised and kept exclaiming in surprise.

He immediately nodded in agreement and said, "Zhengchun, you are absolutely right. The spiritual medicines and beast eggs you sent back to the family last time have benefited the family a lot. If we can obtain the spiritual medicine resources in the wilderness and the rare treasures in Longyuanze in the future, our Zhou family will prosper!"

"I'm afraid that Jingguo will go to war with Hualong Sect too early, not giving us time to develop slowly!"

Zhou Mingde suddenly sighed and expressed his concerns.

After these words were spoken, Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoyi looked at each other in silence.

Indeed, this may be the biggest obstacle hindering the Zhou family's rise!

Once a war breaks out between Jingguo and Hualong Sect, the Zhou family will inevitably have to mobilize a large number of cultivators to participate in the war. By then, they will not be able to develop resources in the wilderness, and will also face continued blood loss and death.

After a long silence, Zhou Chun said softly, "We can't influence the war, so let's develop the family according to our own plan!"

"It's like this, we just need to do our own thing, it's not our turn to take care of those big things."

Zhou Daoyi nodded repeatedly and avoided the heavy topic.

After the three of them exchanged some ideas on developing their family, they dispersed.

As Zhou Chun was injured, he was not in a hurry to take over the management of family affairs. Instead, he recuperated while thinking about the family's subsequent reform and development plans.

On this day, Zhou Chun came to the Zhou Family School to visit the young members of the family.

Nowadays, the Zhou family can produce several new members with spiritual roots every year, so the number of members accumulated in this school is also increasing year by year. Now there are more than 20 people studying in it.

When Zhou Chun arrived outside the school, Zhou Jiaxian, the principal who was responsible for teaching students in the school, was teaching those students.

Zhou Chun was curious for a moment, so he didn't disturb the people inside and just listened from outside.

In the classroom, Zhou Jiaxian glanced at the twenty or so tribesmen sitting cross-legged, and said slowly, "You should know that cultivation is the cultivation of the mind. If the mind is right, then the cultivation will be smooth and everything will go smoothly. If the mind is not right, then you will go astray and bring about your own destruction!"

Although he is already 95 years old, Zhou Jiaxian's voice is still very loud and he is in very good health.

As the seventh person in the "Jia" generation, there are not many people in the Zhou family who are older than him.

It was precisely because of his seniority and his good energy that he got the job of a schoolmaster.

At this moment, a child who looked about seven or eight years old in the school asked curiously, "Grandpa Xian, what is a righteous heart? What is an unrighteous heart?"

"That's a good question!"

Zhou Jiaxian nodded, and then replied solemnly: "Having a righteous heart means that you should be upright, behave properly, and be steady. You should respect your parents and elders, care for your brothers and sisters, and do not actively harm innocent people, and do not do things that harm the interests of the family!"

"People with evil hearts are just the opposite!"

Zhou Chun specifically requested that these profound principles be included in the class.

He knew one thing very well: it was difficult for minors to learn good things, but very easy to learn bad things.

Therefore, if these members of the clan were instilled with the idea that the world of immortal cultivation is full of intrigue and that one can do whatever it takes to achieve one's goal before they reach adulthood, then there is a high probability that this person would grow up to be someone like Zhou Zhengkang, who betrayed the family.

On the contrary, if we first use these great principles to establish a healthy and upright outlook on life for them in the classroom, and when they are a little older and have the ability to distinguish right from wrong, we can then take them to see the dangers of society and let them understand the true environment of the world of immortal cultivation.

Then they will gradually become more harmonious, having a bottom line of conscience without becoming a pushover.

Of course, these are just ideal situations. How a person will eventually grow up depends on his or her personal nature. External forces can only help and promote, but cannot fundamentally change a person's nature.

There are always some people in the world who have bad natures and are born bad!

To educate people with morality and to educate people with courtesy, this is the educational policy that Zhou Chun specifically set for the school.

In this world of cultivating immortals, even clan rules and laws are not particularly binding on clan cultivators.

Many times they did things that violated the clan rules and laws, and they could not be discovered at all. Since the law cannot effectively restrain them, we can only cultivate and strengthen their moral bottom line from an early age.

Of course, this moral bottom line was established by Zhou Chun based on the situation in the world of immortal cultivation. It was not the moral bottom line of his previous life.

Etiquette is also a kind of rules used to restrain people. If people abide by the rules and observe the etiquette, they will know and observe the etiquette from an early age and form a habit. Then, we will not be afraid of them doing something that would disrupt etiquette and society in the future.

For cultivators, the way of cultivation has always been led by a master, but the practice is up to the individual. The ways of cultivation that the master can teach are very limited, and most of the time he can only impart some experience.

Therefore, Zhou Chun asked the school to pay attention to the cultivation of morality and etiquette, and all the senior members of the Zhou family agreed.

At this time, after listening to Zhou Jiaxian's lecture outside for a while, Zhou Chun also applauded and walked into the classroom.

He clapped his hands and said, "Uncle Seventh's speech was very good. Even my nephew was quite inspired by it."

"Thank you for your praise, Deputy Clan Leader. This is all thanks to you. I am just repeating what you have said."

Zhou Jiaxian quickly stood up and greeted Zhou Chun, then looked at the young tribesmen and said, "Why don't you hurry up and pay your respects to the deputy tribe leader?"

Hearing his words, the students who were sitting cross-legged, regardless of age, immediately raised their hands, kowtowed to the ground and said, "This boy/girl greets the deputy clan leader!"

"No need to be polite, fellow tribesmen. Please take a seat first."

Zhou Chun waved his hand and asked everyone to stand up and sit down.

Then he glanced at the twenty or so students below, smiled gently and said: "You all know me, but I don't know you yet. Can you all introduce yourselves?"

After hearing what he said, none of the students said a word for a while.

For those of them who have not yet entered the Taoist practice, or whose cultivation is still very shallow, Zhou Chun's identity as the deputy clan leader makes them feel extremely pressured.

Although they were children, they knew what kind of person Deputy Clan Leader Zhou Chun was in the Zhou family through what they saw and heard.

Zhou Chun understood the thoughts of these younger generations, and immediately pointed at one of the girls in a white dress and said, "Then let's start with you, Yudie, you come and lead these tribesmen."

It turned out that the girl in the white dress he was referring to was Zhou Yudie, the girl with the "three yin body" whom he brought back to his family from Zhoucheng, Fengguo.

Seeing him call her name, Zhou Yudie, who was already excited to see him again, immediately stood up with a red face, saluted and said, "Hello, deputy clan leader. I am Zhou Xindie, fifteen years old this year, fourth among my peers, and now I am in the first level of Qi Refining Stage."

When Zhou Chun heard her call herself "Heart Butterfly", a very satisfied look appeared on his face.

The fact that she could do this naturally showed that she had now completely integrated into the Zhou family and no longer felt repulsive towards the family because of the Zhou family's abandonment of those ordinary clansmen.

He immediately smiled and praised: "Very good, Xindie's introduction is very good, you should also follow her standards."

With someone taking the lead, the others let go of their nervousness and stood up to introduce themselves.

A rather sturdy young man immediately stood up and said, "Hello, deputy clan leader. My name is Zhou Xinli. I am eleven years old this year, ranking tenth among my peers. I am currently in the first level of the Qi Refining Stage."

"Well, Zhou Xinli, I will remember you too. Study hard in the future so that you can serve the family when you grow up."

Zhou Chun smiled and nodded, also giving some encouragement.

As soon as he finished speaking, a pretty girl stood up and bowed to him, saying, "Hello, deputy clan leader. My name is Zhou Xinyu. I am nine years old this year and ranked fifteenth among my peers. I am currently in the first level of the Qi Refining Stage."

Zhou Chun heard this and nodded with a smile, "Well, Xinyu is a good name. I'll remember it."

"Hello, deputy clan leader. My name is Zhou Xinwen. I am nine years old this year and ranked sixteenth among my peers. I am currently in the first level of the Qi Refining Stage."

"Hello, deputy clan leader. My name is Zhou Xinmei. I am ten years old this year and thirteenth among my peers. I am currently in the first level of the Qi Refining Stage."

……

The younger generations of the Zhou family introduced themselves to the deputy clan leader Zhou Chun with nervousness and excitement, hoping to really leave a deep impression on the deputy clan leader.

Although most of them are teenagers, they may not really understand the benefits of having a close relationship with the deputy patriarch.

After everyone had finished introducing themselves, Zhou Chun smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Okay, okay, I remember all your names. I also brought you all a gift today. I hope you all like it."

As he said that, he slapped the storage bag at his waist and took out the gift.

It was a spiritual fruit that he collected in the wilderness. It looked a bit like an apricot, but it was purple-red when ripe and tasted sweet and fragrant.

He picked hundreds of these, just enough for each person.

At this time, after personally distributing the spiritual fruits to everyone, he smiled and instructed: "Each person should take one. Those who have not yet entered the Dao can eat it before going to bed at night. Those who have entered the Dao can eat it and then practice their internal energy to refine the spiritual power in it."

After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'm leaving first. You guys study hard and serve the family in the future."

Seeing this, Zhou Jiaxian immediately took the lead and said, "See you back, Deputy Clan Leader!"

"Farewell, Deputy Chief."

Zhou Xindie and others also bowed and saw them off.

In this way, Zhou Chun visited the school, the beast garden, the training area for independent practitioners, the offices of various halls, and every place of the Zhou family.

During this period, he even went to Hongyafang Market and inspected the Lingshouzhai store there on behalf of the family.

After staying in the family for almost a month, Zhou Chun was finally summoned by Qing Weizi to go to Qinglian Temple again.

When he met Qing Weizi again in the headmaster's hall, he heard the other party said in a deep voice: "After many inquiries, I have already known how to improve the difficulties encountered by fellow Daoist Lu Ran. If you are healthy, take Junior Sister Mingxia to Longyuan Lake to meet fellow Daoist Lu Ran!"

Hearing this, Zhou Chun's heart sank, knowing that the thing he worried about had finally happened.

As expected, Qinglian Temple was not going to let him continue to contact Lu Ran through a single line, and wanted to let the trusted monks of the sect to trade with Lu Ran directly.

However, he had already expected this, so now he just had to give up the fantasy!

At that moment, he could only answer respectfully: "In reply to your words, Senior, my injuries do not affect my movements much, but I am afraid that if I return to the wilderness, the people of the Dragon Transformation Sect will use secret methods to sense the dragon blood in my body, and then I am afraid that Senior Mingxia will be harmed!"

Qing Weizi seemed to have expected him to say this, and immediately waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about this. When Junior-Martial-Sister Mingxia travels with you this time, she will bring a secret treasure from our sect. With that secret treasure, your aura will be concealed. Unless you are within a thousand miles of that third-level golden dragon, the bloodline sensing technique alone will not be able to sense you."

After saying that, he looked at him meaningfully and said, "And when you come back after completing this matter, our sect will also help you completely resolve this hidden danger!"
