Chapter 370: Another foundation building, unexpected changes [Subscription Request]

In the wilderness, there is the Caiyushan stronghold.

Ever since Lin Hongyu, a Jindan-stage cultivator, moved into the Caiyu Mountain stronghold, the Zhou family cultivators here have felt extremely at ease and no longer worry about the safety of the stronghold.

In this world of immortal cultivation, cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage all stay indoors. Even if they go out occasionally, very few people are able to run into them.

Therefore, the Jindan stage cultivator became the person with the highest level of cultivation that ordinary cultivators could meet.

In non-war times, places where Jindan-stage cultivators are stationed are basically impossible to be breached.

On this day, Xu Fu, the leader of the death squad who had left the Caiyushan stronghold for some time, suddenly came back.

Xu Fu naturally did not come back alone. He was accompanied to the Caiyushan stronghold by 35 bandits who were captured by him, Zhou Zhengbai and Zhou Xinlan.

These thirty-five bandits are the first batch sent to the Caiyu Mountain stronghold. There will be a second and even third batch later.

The person in charge of escorting these bandits was Zhou Chun, the head of the Zhou family.

Just like when Xu Fu and others first arrived at Longxing Valley, the thirty-five bandits were not able to open their eyes and see clearly where they were until they entered the Caiyu Valley stronghold.

Before this, apart from knowing that they had been captured by the enemy's strategy of pretending to be pigs and eating the tiger, they didn't even know who was arresting them.

After being awakened, he saw himself being thrown into a strange place with many unfamiliar monks. Some of the more irritable and reckless guys among them immediately started shouting loudly.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Which faction are you from? And where is this place?"

"There's a scar as big as a bowl on my head. Since I dare to do this business that can get me killed, I'm not afraid of death. If you have the guts, just kill me! Don't try these shameful little tricks on me!"

"Where is this? Where are you from?"

Shouts rang out from the crowd, but these bandits did not realize the seriousness of the situation.

But they soon realized it.

Because a huge tiger roar suddenly exploded in their ears.

Roar! !

Along with a deafening tiger roar, a giant golden-haired tiger with a body several meters long and wings growing from its ribs suddenly appeared at the edge of the crowd, looking down at these bandits with its bloody mouth wide open.

The ferocious aura that was blowing towards them instantly made these bandits, whose hands were once stained with blood, tremble in their hearts, and they all closed their mouths and dared not utter a single sound.

At this time, Zhou Chun flew to the top of the golden-winged tiger, and then he looked down at the frightened bandits and shouted: "Listen to me, you scums. From now on, this is the place where you can atone for the sins you have committed. Only when you have cleansed your sins can you return to the world of immortal cultivation."

After he finished speaking, he said in a stern tone: "Who was it that said he was tired of living? Stand out and let me take a look. It just so happens that my pet hasn't had any meat today, so I'll use you as a treat first!"

In the crowd, a burly man with a rough face couldn't help but shudder all over and lowered his head hurriedly, fearing that Zhou Chun would see him.

After temporarily intimidating the group of bandits, Zhou Chun signaled Xu Fu to come forward and explain the situation to them, so that they could understand their situation and what to do next.

According to the plan, these bandits will be detained in the stronghold at the beginning and will not be allowed to go out.

Once they behave better and are willing to cooperate, their storage bags and wealth will be returned to them, giving them the opportunity to go out on adventures together.

As for whether they will take the opportunity to escape when you are out, there is no need to worry at all.

The Caiyu Mountain stronghold is located in a remote area, and there are many monsters and beasts around it. Even people like Xu Fu who have lived in the wilderness for decades do not dare to say that they can escape from the wilderness and reach Jingguo, let alone these bandit cultivators.

The result of running away is either being eaten by monsters, or coming back obediently after finding there is no way to escape.

As Zhou Chun expected, when those bandit cultivators heard that he was now deep in the wilderness and unable to return to the world of immortal cultivation, they became excited and showed their ferocious faces.

But as the golden-winged tiger's ferocious gaze swept over them, they quickly calmed down.

When they later learned that there were Jindan-stage cultivators in charge of the stronghold, they became even more depressed.

Zhou Chun didn't care what these people were thinking at the moment. After making sure that no one dared to cause trouble at this time, he left some words and a Yuan-building Spirit Fruit to Xu Fu, and then returned to his family first.

After returning to his family, Zhou Chun learned good news.

It turned out that Zhou Xintie, who had received the Foundation Establishment Pill from him, had successfully established his foundation.

Since then, the Zhou family has had one more Foundation Establishment cultivator, and the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators in the family has reached ten.

Zhou Xintie's successful foundation building means that the Zhou family's shortcomings in refining equipment have been made up.

With his skill in refining instruments before he successfully established his foundation, it was only a matter of time before he could refine a second-order magical instrument after he successfully established his foundation.

In this way, whether it is refining medicine or setting up formations and making talismans, the Zhou family has people who can show off their talents.

From now on, the family no longer needs to purchase related items from outside. They can directly purchase raw materials and hand them over to these clansmen to refine.

On the one hand, it can save purchase costs, and on the other hand, it can allow these tribesmen to improve their skills and increase their income, which is simply killing three birds with one stone.

"Not bad, not bad, Xintie, you are very good, it's worth it for me to cultivate you!"

In the Zhongping Hall, Zhou Chun met Zhou Xintie who had just come out of seclusion. As soon as they met, he praised him with a smile without concealing his face.

Zhou Xintie, who was praised by him, was so grateful that he saluted and thanked him, saying, "I will never forget the kindness of the clan leader in cultivating me. No matter what the clan leader tells me in the future, I will work hard and die to repay him for his kindness!"

Different from other Zhou family cultivators who succeeded in building a foundation by exchanging foundation-building pills for good deeds, Zhou Xintie was able to succeed in building a foundation entirely thanks to the cultivation of the clan leader Zhou Chun.

Therefore, compared with other Zhou family cultivators who have successfully established their foundation, his gratitude towards Zhou Chun is truly sincere.

Zhou Chun also saw this and smiled with relief, "Your kindness is better than anything else."

After that, he patted his shoulder encouragingly and said, "Think carefully about choosing a technique. If there is anything you don't understand, you can always come to me for advice."

"Yes, this junior understands."

Zhou Xintie nodded heavily and stepped back immediately.

Another month passed and Zhou Chun received another piece of good news.

It turned out that the black jade toad tadpoles that Zhou Mingde was taking care of had finally begun to metamorphose and evolve into adult toads.

But this evolutionary process is indeed bloody.

Because originally hundreds of tadpoles fought and devoured each other during the metamorphosis and evolution, in the end only one male and one female tadpoles had the last laugh and evolved into a real black jade toad. All this was completed in just seven days!

However, this newly evolved black jade toad is much smaller than the original pair of black jade toads, and it is obviously not yet a true adult.

As for when it will be able to produce toad venom, we can only wait and find out.

But no matter what, this is a good thing for the Zhou family.

After all, there are now as many as four Purple Mansion stage cultivators in the Zhou family, and the demand for toad venom is very great.

You should know that after reaching the Purple Mansion Stage, elixirs that can improve magical powers become extremely rare. Even in a place like the Great Zhou Kingdom, they cannot be bought from ordinary stores.

Even the Li family, which has a very good relationship with the Zhou family, has the relevant recipes, but because the materials are hard to find, they may not be able to refine a furnace of elixirs in a hundred years.

When Zhou Chun was in the foundation-building stage, he never lacked elixirs to take that could improve his magical powers.

But after he reached the Purple Mansion Stage, he had never taken this kind of elixir.

It would probably be very difficult to obtain this kind of elixir in the future, and we certainly cannot take it continuously as before.

In this case, the secret spiritual incense made from the toad venom of the black jade toad is almost the only spiritual item that the Zhou family's Purple Mansion cultivators can obtain stably to improve their cultivation.

On this day, Zhou Chun was practicing secret arts in his residence when suddenly the warning formation was triggered, indicating that someone was visiting.

Seeing this, he quickly stopped his power, opened the formation, and let the person into the courtyard.

The person who came was Zhou Jiarui, who was in charge of Zhou family affairs.

"Zhengchun is in trouble. Zhengbai was beaten and seriously injured outside. It was done by someone from the Jiang family of Lingzhou!"

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Zhou Jiarui anxiously stated his purpose.

what?
Zhou Chun was stunned and was also surprised by what he said.

Then his face quickly darkened, and he immediately said, "Let's go to Zhongping Palace first."

After returning to Zhongping Hall, which represented the power center of the Zhou family, Zhou Chun asked Zhou Jiarui for details of the situation.

It turned out that when Zhou Zhengbai was carrying out the mission of capturing bandit cultivators arranged by Zhou Chun in Lingzhou, he was unfortunately discovered by the foundation-building cultivators of the Jiang family and was attacked by the other side.

During the battle, Zhou Zhengbai discovered that he was no match for the Jiang family cultivator, so he tried to scare the other party away with the Zhou family's reputation.

Unexpectedly, after hearing him introduce himself, the cultivator from the Jiang family attacked even more ruthlessly, intending to kill him.

Finally, Zhou Zhengbai had no choice but to use the secret technique of stimulating his potential, forcibly improving his own magical power, and using the two second-grade mid-level talismans bestowed by the family's supreme elder after he successfully established his foundation.

After desperately trying all these means, Zhou Zhengbai finally managed to escape into the market town of Lingzhou, and informed the monks at the Zhou family intelligence station of the news.

When this information was transmitted back to Zhoujia Mountain Gate in Jiufengling via Eagle News, Zhou Zhengqing, who received the information, was fully aware of the importance of the matter and hurriedly reported it to Zhou Jiarui.

Then Zhou Jiarui hurried over to find Zhou Chun.

After explaining the situation in detail to Zhou Chun, Zhou Jiarui said in a low voice with a worried look on his face: "Lingzhou is now the territory of Tianjing Sect, and the Jiang family has already joined Tianjing Sect. Even if Zhengbai escapes into the market, I'm afraid he may not be safe!"

"I know everything. I will go see the Grand Elder right now."

Zhou Chun nodded, and immediately went to the cave on the top of the mountain to meet Zhou Mingde.

After entering the cave, Zhou Chun repeated what Zhou Jiarui had said, and then said: "The Jiang family must teach them a lesson, otherwise outsiders will think that my Zhou family is just a paper tiger, good-looking but useless!"

Hearing his words, Zhou Mingde, who was already furious, nodded and said in a low voice: "Zhengchun, you are right. The Jiang family has been provoking our Zhou family again and again. If we don't teach them a lesson, won't everyone dare to follow suit?"

At this point, he frowned and said, "But the Jiang family has now joined the Tianjing Sect. If we go deep into their territory to deal with the Jiang family, I'm afraid the Tianjing Sect may not just sit there and watch!"

Zhou Chun was of course aware of this, and after hearing this he quickly replied: "So I am going to go to Qinglian Temple and personally pay my respects to the abbot of Qingweizi Temple to get a feel for their attitude!"

"That's good. I can ask Daoyi to go and call Daoquan over. No matter what the attitude of Qinglian Temple is, we must rescue the people!"

Zhou Mingde nodded slightly and expressed his opinion.

After the deal was settled, Zhou Chun immediately went to the gate of Qinglian Temple in Lianzhou.

Speaking of which, this was the first time Zhou Chun went to the Qinglian Mountain Gate after opening up the Purple Mansion.

This time, after he arrived at the gate of Qinglian Temple as a cultivator of the Purple Mansion Stage, he simply stated that he wanted to pay a visit to the abbot of Qinglian Temple, Qing Weizi. The Qinglian Temple disciple in charge of the reception immediately arranged for someone to go and report.

While waiting, Zhou Chun looked at the continuous peaks inside the mountain gate of Qinglian Temple in front of him, and couldn't help but think of the old friend in Qinglian Temple whom he had not seen for a long time.

Ever since he and his Taoist partner Su Yuzhen held a grand dual cultivation celebration, he has not seen his old friend Liu Shiyun again.

The two of them never even exchanged letters again.

It’s not that Zhou Chun is so heartless, but the letters he sent over never received a reply.

After this happened several times, he never sent anyone to deliver letters again.

"With her talent and aptitude, plus Senior Mingxia's care, she should be at least in the middle stage of foundation building now!"

Zhou Chun thought about it secretly in his heart, but in the end he still didn't want to meet the other person.

It was not that he was afraid that his fellow Taoist Su Yuzhen would be jealous after learning about this, but he did not want to cause Liu Shiyun more trouble because of his presumptuousness.

On the other hand, Qing Weizi still gave Zhou Chun a lot of face, or he also knew that unless something important happened, Zhou Chun, the head of the Zhou family, would not have come all the way to meet him.

Therefore, Zhou Chun only waited for less than three hours before he received the notice that he could go into the mountain to pay a visit.

After getting permission, he quickly entered the mountain gate of Qinglian Temple and, under the guidance of a foundation-building cultivator, flew all the way to the master's hall.

Not long after, Zhou Chun met Qing Weizi, the head of Qinglian Temple again after many years.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but when I saw Qing Weizi again, even though her appearance hadn’t changed at all, Zhou Chun felt that she seemed to have aged a lot.

It seems that the headmaster of Qinglian Temple has been under a lot of pressure in recent years!

Zhou Chun sighed in his heart, and immediately bowed and said: "Junior greets the senior master of the temple. I am sorry for my intrusive visit. Please forgive me."
