Chapter 270: Really Accurate in Judging People [Subscribe]

Zhou Mingde's enlightening words really made Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoyi stunned, and they couldn't help but bury their heads in reflection.

It cannot be said that all of Zhou Mingde’s words are correct.

Especially when comparing fellow Taoists to rare treasures of heaven and earth, it was really hard for Zhou Chun to agree with it.

But some of what he said does make sense.

At this moment, Zhou Chun reflected on his choice of a Taoist companion and found that his definition of a Taoist companion was indeed quite different from the word "Taoist companion".

Because of his memories from his previous life, he seemed to simply define his Taoist partner as his wife, and used the same requirements for finding a wife to look for his Taoist partner.

This is actually wrong!
If he is just looking for a wife, then according to his standards, as long as she is beautiful, virtuous and good at managing the household, that will be enough.

But Taoist companions are different.

The definition of a Taoist partner for cultivators is a partner with whom they can discuss the pursuit of immortality.

She or he must be at the same level as oneself in terms of qualifications, cultivation, understanding, etc., so that he or she will not hinder oneself on the path of cultivation, and may even help oneself move forward.

No cultivator would be willing to have a burden as a partner, no matter how much they like the person.

However, it is extremely difficult to find a Taoist companion who meets the standards. The higher the cultivation level of the cultivator, the harder it is to find a suitable Taoist companion.

Many Jindan stage cultivators would keep several or even dozens of concubines, but they might find it difficult to find a Taoist partner in their entire life.

At the same time, no matter how much they favor a concubine, they can never promote her to become their Taoist partner.

From this perspective, Zhou Chun’s choice of Taoist partner was obviously wrong.

So Zhou Mingde was not wrong when he said that he had a wrong mentality.

Another point is that as the patriarch, if he could take a concubine and have children, and set an example for the other monks in the family, it would indeed serve as a great role model.

Of course, this is not something that must be done, but it is better to do it than not to do it.

After reflecting on this point and looking back at the matter of becoming a Taoist partner with Su Yuzhen, Zhou Chun could easily understand why Zhou Mingde was so angry.

Obviously, apart from the emotional foundation that Zhou Chun cared about, Su Yuzhen's conditions in all aspects perfectly met the standards of becoming his Taoist partner.

If they could become Taoist partners, at least before the Golden Core Stage, neither of them would hold the other back. Instead, each of them could provide help to the other and promote each other's self-improvement.

Zhou Chun was trying to push away such a top-notch Taoist partner that others could not get, even at the cost of offending a Jindan-stage cultivator. How could Zhou Mingde not be angry!

Perhaps Su Renmei and the Su family's ancestor felt similarly to Zhou Mingde at the time. They never expected that Zhou Chun would actually have such a resistance to such a good thing that came right to their doorstep.

The difference in concepts undoubtedly caused great differences in the views on affairs among Zhou Chun, Zhou Mingde, Su family patriarch and other pure immortal cultivators from this world.

In the past, relying on his unique ideas, he was often able to see the drawbacks of some family affairs and put forward some effective suggestions, which brought great benefits to the family.

But this time, the result of his own perspective on things seemed too eccentric to be understood.

So is Zhou Chun’s idea wrong?
Or are the ideas of Zhou Mingde and other immortal cultivators in this world wrong?

Zhou Chun himself had no way of judging.

He will not think that he is wrong, that would be denying himself.

But I won’t think that the world is wrong. That would be crazy behavior.

Perhaps, he should try to change his ideas, compromise and integrate with the reality of this world, and form new ideas.

Over the years, his style of doing things has also changed in this way, from initially copying the rules and systems of his previous life to gradually adapting to the times and the people, and gradually learning to do things according to the actual situation of this world.

It may not be a bad idea to make some changes in your ideas about choosing a partner now.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chun couldn't help but bow to Zhou Mingde and said, "What the great elder is teaching me is that I did have some problems with my mentality before. I must correct my mentality and correct my heart in the future!"

Zhou Mingde's expression eased slightly when he saw this, and he nodded gently, saying, "You can realize that there is something wrong with your mentality, so what I said just now was not in vain. Of course, what I said just now was a bit harsh, so don't take it too seriously, just let it go."

"Yes, this junior understands."

Zhou Chun responded respectfully and left the cave on the top of the mountain first.

Next, Zhou Chun began to mobilize manpower and materials from various aspects to prepare for the mining of the black crystal stone mine at the pioneering base.

At the same time, under his arrangement, Zhou Jiapeng also rushed to the pioneering stronghold to take charge in order to safeguard the Zhou family's interests there.

Almost three months later, Su Yuzhen came to the Zhou family.

She came alone, without any escort from the Su family elders.

When Zhou Chun learned of her arrival, he stood there for a long time with mixed feelings before he calmed himself down and went to the mountain gate in person to welcome her in.

Then he took him to the cave on the top of the mountain to meet the two supreme elders, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi.

"Yu Zhen greets the two seniors. I'm sorry to bother you in the future. I hope you will be more tolerant and understanding."

Inside the cave, Su Yuzhen, dressed in a white dress, bowed and politely greeted the two Zhou family's supreme elders.

Such unpretentious behavior undoubtedly impressed Zhou Mingde when he met her for the first time.

He then smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Young friend Yuzhen, you don't have to be so polite. From now on, when you practice in the Zhou family, just treat it like your own home. Don't feel restrained."

As he spoke, he patted the storage bag on his waist, took out a jade jar and handed it to Su Yuzhen.

"This is our first meeting, and I don't know what you like, young friend Yuzhen. This jar of spiritual honey is a special spiritual item of my Zhou family. Whether it is brewed into tea or drunk directly, it has a unique flavor. I hope you don't dislike it."

After nearly twenty years of breeding, the Zhou family's [Jade Bee] colony has grown in size.

By cooperating with other families to collect flowers and make honey, the output of spiritual honey is much higher than normal, so family leaders like Zhou Mingde now have some spiritual honey stocks.

But Zhou Mingde was still quite generous by giving a jar of spiritual honey to them when they met.

Anyway, Zhou Chun felt that the supreme elder was doing this on purpose to show him that he was using practical actions to show that he already regarded Su Yuzhen as the Taoist companion of him, the clan leader.

Since Su Yuzhen had already decided to choose Zhou Chun as her Taoist partner, she had naturally read all the information that the Zhou family could get. Of course, she had seen the relevant information about the honey brewed by the Jade Spirit Bee.

At this time, seeing Zhou Mingde directly giving her a can as a gift, she was quick-witted and roughly understood what the Zhou family's supreme elder meant.

He was immediately delighted and took the jade jar in his hands. Then he bowed to Zhou Mingde again and said, "I dare not refuse the gift from the elder. I will accept this generous gift from you."

As he spoke, he put the jade jar into his storage bag, and also took out two jade boxes and handed them to Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi respectively.

"Yu Zhen came to the Zhou family this time, and the family did not arrange for the elders to accompany him, but the ancestor personally gave these two boxes of spiritual tea as a gift to me. I hope you two seniors can accept them."

With a smile on her face, she explained the origins of the two jade boxes, which instantly attracted the attention of the two Zhou family's supreme elders.

The gifts given by a Jindan-stage cultivator are definitely not ordinary items.

Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi looked at each other, and then Zhou Mingde smiled and said, "Since it is a reward from Senior Su, I will not be polite."

After saying that, he reached out and took the jade box, opened it and began to look at it.

There were about ten pieces of dark green tea leaves in the small jade box.

The tea leaves had not been processed in any way and looked as if they had just been picked.

But this is not ordinary tea, but the spiritual tea produced by the Su family's thousand-year-old tea tree. Each piece is worth hundreds of spiritual coins and is in short supply.

Zhou Mingde took out a piece of tea and placed it in his hand to observe. He saw that the tea leaf looked dark green, but in fact, it had a light purple spiritual pattern growing inside that was difficult to see with the naked eye.

The spiritual power contained in just one piece of tea leaf is not much lower than that contained in a hundred-year-old spiritual ginseng, and its quality is completely incomparable to that of a hundred-year-old spiritual ginseng.

"It is indeed a good tea. I wonder if this tea has a name?"

Zhou Mingde put the tea leaves back into the jade box and closed the lid again. He looked at Su Yuzhen with curiosity and inquired about the origin of this magical tea.

Su Yuzhen didn't shy away from what he said, and immediately replied with a smile, "This tea is called Purple Extreme Divine Tea. The age of the tea tree is over 3,000 years. Only about 200 leaves can be harvested every three years. It has always been used exclusively by the Purple Mansion Stage cultivators of my Su family and the Moon Wheel Sect."

"Purple Extreme Divine Tea, what a good name, the tea is good, and the name of the tea is also good!"

Zhou Mingde nodded and praised it again, then he put the jade box into his storage bag with satisfaction.

Seeing this, Zhou Daoyi, who was standing by, put away the jade box and took out the gift he had prepared.

It was a rare treasure from the waters of Longyuanze, called the "Shuiling Star Shell". Wearing it could not only moisturize the skin and beautify the face, but also slightly increase the speed of water-based cultivation during meditation.

The key is that this thing is very beautiful.

Compared with the greeting gift Zhou Mingde gave her, Su Yuzhen liked the "Water Star Shell" more. She even strung it with gold thread and wore it on the spot.

After exchanging greeting gifts, Zhou Mingde smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Well, since we two old guys have already met, let Zhengchun take you, little friend Yuzhen, to familiarize yourself with the situation in my Zhou family's mountain gate."

"Junior obeys your command. I will trouble you next."

Su Yuzhen responded, turned around to look at Zhou Chun, and bowed slightly.

"This is my job, Miss Yuzhen, you don't have to be polite."

Zhou Chun bowed and immediately led his men out of the cave.

After the two of them left the cave, Zhou Chun took Su Yuzhen and set out from Pagoda Peak. They visited various places of the Zhou family one after another and introduced some of the Zhou family cultivators they met.

Many Zhou family cultivators were extremely surprised that the clan leader Zhou Chun would personally bring a female cultivator in the late foundation building stage to travel around the family. They tried every means to find out the relationship between the two.

What made Zhou Chun feel relieved was that Su Yuzhen did not force him to abdicate, but directly said that she was his Taoist partner and only said that she came to the Zhou family to study.

As for what you are learning, there is no need to tell others.

After walking around like this, Zhou Chun finally took her back to the courtyard where he lived on Pagoda Peak.

This was what was promised to the Su family's ancestor. When Su Yuzhen was in the Zhou family, she had to live in his residence.

"This is a token for entering and leaving Zhou's courtyard. Miss Su, please keep it. Zhou usually handles family affairs in Zhongping Hall and does not come back here very often. I hope Miss Su can understand."

In the yard, Zhou Chun looked at the beautiful and dignified female cultivator in white dress in front of him. After a brief silence, he took out the token he had prepared long ago and presented it to her, explaining the situation.

After Su Yuzhen heard his words, he smiled and said, "As the head of the clan, it is normal for Brother Zhou to be busy with affairs. Yuzhen naturally understands this."

After saying that, he reached out and took the token of entering and leaving the yard, then patted the storage bag on his waist, took out a wooden box and handed it to Zhou Chun.

Then he said in a soft voice: "Yuzhen knows that because of Yuzhen, Fellow Daoist Zhou and the Zhou family have been troubled. I hope that the things in this wooden box can make up for it."

"What's in here?"

Zhou Chun looked at Su Yuzhen in surprise. He didn't expect that the other party had prepared a gift for him.

Su Yuzhen smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, open it and you will know."

Hearing her say this, Zhou Chun had nothing to worry about and immediately opened the wooden box.

I saw that inside the wooden box were actually several jade slips.

This made Zhou Chun even more curious.

He picked up a jade slip and looked at it carefully.

After a moment, Zhou Chun pulled his consciousness out of the jade slip, looked at Su Yuzhen with a complicated expression and said, "Miss Su is thoughtful. These things are indeed very useful to Zhou and the Zhou family!"

It turned out that the information recorded in the jade slips included not only the information about the items that the Su family could exchange with foreign countries, but also the information about the Jindan-stage cultivators in Jingguo collected by the Su family, including those people's personalities, preferences, and their proficiency in martial arts and supernatural powers.

In addition, the jade slip also includes general information about the top 30 families in the "Hundred Family Conference", such as what special spiritual objects those families have, which forces they have close relations with, etc.

This intelligence information is definitely a timely help for the Zhou family today.

Zhou Chun had to admit that Su Yuzhen was really good at judging people.

He had no reason at all to refuse this gift!
