Chapter 388: The Theory of Magical Weapons Zhou Xinyan's Choice [Subscription Request]

A large crystal jade vein, this is definitely the most valuable vein the Zhou family has discovered so far.

However, the mining difficulty of this mineral vein is also very great.

The mineral vein is located at a depth of more than 500 feet under the water. Even if a Qi Refining cultivator has a water-repelling device in hand, it is difficult to dive so deep underwater.

In other words, if cultivators want to come here to mine, they must at least be at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and they must also have a top-notch water-repelling device in their hands.

But when one’s cultivation reaches the foundation-building stage, how many people would still want to work as miners?

The Zhou family is not so extravagant as to employ Foundation Establishment cultivators as miners.

Not to mention the Zhou family, even the Qinglian Temple would not mobilize the Foundation Establishment cultivators to work as miners just for a crystal jade vein.

Therefore, if this mineral vein were discovered by other forces, most of them would have no choice but to leave it here and watch it happen.

But just because cultivators cannot dive into the water which is over 500 feet deep, it doesn’t mean that others cannot go down either.

As far as Zhou Chun knew, a first-level sorcerer among the scaly frog alien race could dive to such a depth.

Therefore, he can completely cooperate with the scaly frog aliens and let them mine for the Zhou family.

"Next time when I do business with Wukulu, I'll mention this to him. If he agrees, my Zhou family will have another source of income!"

A smile flashed across Zhou Chun's face, and he immediately returned to the Caiyushan base with the harvest from the Green Scale Dragonfish's nest.

After returning to the base, Zhou Chun fed some of the flesh and blood of the green-scaled dragon fish to the three spiritual pets, and he personally processed the pair of fish eyes and swallowed them raw.

Sure enough, after eating and refining the fish eyes, Zhou Chun felt that his eyesight had improved slightly.

It's a pity that he is already a Purple Mansion Stage cultivator, so this improvement is very limited. If it were given to a Qi Refining Stage cultivator, he might be able to gain a talent equivalent to the Spirit Eye Secret Technique.

After eating the fish eyes, Zhou Chun recalled his previous battle with the green-scaled dragon fish in the quiet room.

The Green Scaled Dragon Fish is quite powerful. If Zhou Chun does not leave the lake, he can only defeat it but cannot kill it.

Unfortunately, this monster also coveted the dragon blood in the Silver Thunder Python Baibai's body and wanted to eat Baibai to purify its own blood. Therefore, it chased Baibai to the sky and fell into Zhou Chun's trap.

Zhou Chun was finally able to kill the monster, and his newly mastered secret technique, the Golden Lock of Concentricity, undoubtedly contributed the most to this.

Once this secret technique is cast, it is difficult to block with ordinary spell shields, and it almost ignores the defense of the monster's skin and scales.

On the contrary, if the cultivator uses a magical weapon such as a shield, he can block the golden lock, but the magical weapon will also be locked.

"The Green Scale Dragonfish is a third-rank low-grade demon beast. The magic power of a demon beast is not as pure and strong as that of a cultivator of the same realm. After I cast the secret technique, it is relatively easy to suppress it. As long as it does not escape the range of the secret technique, I estimate that it will be no problem for a quarter of an hour."

"But this secret technique only locks the opponent's magic power, not the physical body. If the opponent is a monster, as long as it escapes from the effective range of the secret technique in time, or comes up to interrupt my secret technique, the effect will not be so good."

"And if the opponent is a cultivator, after his magic power is locked, he should be able to activate the magic talisman and try to interrupt me or escape."

"In general, although this secret technique allows me to have a strong control over cultivators of the same level, it is not without flaws and defects."

Zhou Chun muttered to himself and gave a detailed and complete summary of this experimental secret technique.

Of course, the Green Scaled Dragon Fish is a demon beast after all, so he will definitely have to find a few other Purple Mansion Stage cultivators from the Zhou family to conduct experiments on it.

Especially Zhou Mingde, who has reached the middle stage of Purple Mansion cultivation, and the Fire God Jackal, a third-order intermediate-grade monster, are all excellent experimental subjects.

Just a few days after Zhou Chun killed the green-scaled dragon fish, Lin Hongyu returned.

"Grand Elder, you're back so soon?"

In the Caiyushan stronghold, Zhou Chun looked at the returning Lin Hongyu with a surprised expression.

According to his idea, the transaction between Lin Hongyu and Xuepo Palace for the cold jade mine would definitely require many efforts and would not be successful in a short time.

Unexpectedly, Lin Hongyu completed this task in just a few months.

"What I asked for was not much. After a few attempts, Xuepo Palace agreed. Naturally, I came back quickly."

Lin Hongyu briefly explained the process, and then her face became serious. She said to Zhou Chun with a serious face: "Now I have the materials needed to refine my life magic weapon. Next, I will go into seclusion to refine my life magic weapon. It will take about two to three years. During this period of time, unless the Zhou family is in danger of extinction, don't disturb me!"

Zhou Chun was delighted when he heard this, and then he responded with a serious expression: "Junior understands, senior, you can rest assured and retreat!"

Seeing that he understood the seriousness of the situation, Lin Hongyu said no more and immediately entered her own cave in the Caiyu Mountain stronghold, sealed the cave and began to meditate.

When Zhou Chun saw this scene, she was also full of hope that she could succeed as soon as possible.

With Zhou Chun’s current level of cultivation, he knows a lot about the Jindan period.

It’s like refining your own magic weapon.

As far as he knew, due to the special nature of the natal magic weapon, the refining level required of the cultivator was actually not high.

Basically, with the powerful learning ability and cultivation of a Jindan stage cultivator, as long as he learns the refining skills for one or two years, he can meet the requirements of refining his own magic weapon.

However, magic weapons like the ones Zhou Chun had seen at the auction required very high skills in refining.

In the world of immortal cultivation, any weapon refiner who can refine magical weapons can be called a weapon refiner master, and his status is far beyond that of an ordinary Jindan stage cultivator.

As far as Zhou Chun knew, apart from those cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage, there was only one such weapon-refining master in the entire Jingguo, and he came from the Yanyang Sect.

It is said that even the two Yuanying stage masters of Yanyang Sect treated him with great courtesy.

Precisely because it is difficult to successfully refine magic weapons, many Jindan stage cultivators, if they do not have magic weapons passed down from their ancestors, have almost no choice but to have only one magic weapon of their own for self-defense.

As for purchasing magic weapons, the price of millions of spirit coins is not something that an ordinary Jindan stage cultivator can afford!
After all, the higher your cultivation level, the more places you have to spend your spirit coins. It is impossible to save all the spirit coins you earn to buy magic weapons.

Of course, all these are still far away from Zhou Chun, and the Zhou family still has a magic weapon stored in the secret vault. Even if he succeeds in forming the elixir in the future, he doesn't have to worry about not having the magic weapon to use.

Anyway, since Lin Hongyu has returned, he can also go back to his family first.

After explaining something to Xu Fu, Zhou Chun returned to the family's mountain gate.

After he came back, he heard an expected good news: Zhou Xinyan had successfully established his foundation.

"Zhengchun, you're back just in time. Xinyan hasn't chosen a cultivation technique yet, so you can take him to choose one."

In Zhongping Hall, Zhou Jiarui, who was acting as the clan leader, immediately gave Zhou Chun this important task when he saw him coming back. Zhou Chun nodded and said, "I understand. I will take him there after I meet the Grand Elder. You can ask him to wait for me here first."

Then he went to the cave on the top of the mountain to meet the supreme elder Zhou Mingde.

Since Lin Hongyu had visited Jiufeng Ridge once after she came back, Zhou Mingde also knew about her retreat to refine her life-saving magic weapon.

Zhou Chun mainly mentioned the promotion of Xu Fu to honorary elder and his accidental discovery of a large crystal jade vein. He also took the opportunity to find Zhou Mingde to try out the power of the Concentric Golden Lock Secret Technique.

"If you just promote him to an honorary elder, there is no problem. Just make your own decision, Zhengchun."

"As for the matter of cooperating with the Scaled Frogs to mine the Crystal Jade vein, I don't think there is any rush. The vein is there anyway and it won't go away. There will be plenty of opportunities to mine it in the future. Now that it's mined, we can't sell it in large quantities. We still have to give benefits to the Scaled Frogs!"

Zhou Mingde thought for a moment and then gave his opinion.

After listening to his opinion, Zhou Chun thought that this was indeed the truth, so he nodded and said, "Grand Elder, this is very thoughtful. I have no objection."

He originally wanted to supply and sell goods to the Great Zhou Kingdom, but his last experience made him realize that the Great Zhou Kingdom was not a place that was at peace with the world.

If the Zhou family continues to sell ore there for a long time, they might be easily targeted.

It would be better to wait until the Zhou family is able to find a stable and secure sales channel there before starting to supply goods there on a long-term basis.

He then proposed to Zhou Mingde the idea of ​​trying out the secret technique.

Zhou Mingde naturally would not refuse this.

The two of them did not need to go to any martial arts training ground, they conducted the experiment directly in Zhou Mingde's cave.

The results of the experiment did not disappoint Zhou Chun.

After Zhou Mingde, who was in the middle stage of Purple Mansion, was locked up, it took him almost ten breaths to break free from the chains, and the protective spell he cast did not block the chains.

However, it took the Fire God Jackal, a third-level intermediate monster, fifteen breaths of time to break free from the chains.

However, according to Zhou Mingde, the reason why he was locked up for such a long time was because the technique he practiced was not a top-level technique, and the purity of his magic power was not as good as those of the same-level cultivators who practiced top-level techniques.

If it was a cultivator in the middle stage of Purple Mansion who practiced top-level skills, I am afraid that the time Zhou Chun could lock the opponent would be greatly reduced.

As for the cultivator in the late Purple Mansion stage, he might be able to break free of the chains in a moment, or even injure Zhou Chun.

After coming out of the cave on the top of the mountain, Zhou Chun took Zhou Xinyan, who was waiting in Zhongping Hall, to the family secret library.

As a cultivator with superior spiritual roots, Zhou Xinyan is naturally arrogant. He looks down on ordinary skills and only wants to practice top-level skills like Zhou Chun.

As for the Zhou family, they now really need to cultivate more cultivators who have the potential to reach the Golden Core stage.

Therefore, neither Zhou Jiarui nor Zhou Chun objected to Zhou Xinyan's choice.

At this time, just like Zhou Daoyi took him back then, he took Zhou Xinyan into the Zhou family's secret library where the top-level skills were stored.

Zhou Chun looked at the junior beside him and asked, "Xinyan, you have wood, earth, and fire spiritual root attributes. Before you established your foundation, you practiced the wood-based exercises. Do you plan to change to other attribute exercises now, or continue to practice the wood-based exercises?"

"The younger generation is more talented in the Wood Element Kung Fu, so naturally I will practice the Wood Element Kung Fu!"

Zhou Xinyan was obviously well prepared and immediately stated his choice.

"As for the wood-type skills, the family now has three top-level skills for you to choose from, namely, the Ten Thousand Woods True Skill, the Bixia Yuan Skill, and the Jiamu Xuan Skill. They are all here, take a look at them yourself!"

As Zhou Chun spoke, he raised his hand and handed over three jade slips containing the techniques to Zhou Xinyan.

Over the years, the Zhou family first experienced the battle of the Southern Expedition against the Hualong Sect, and later obtained the inheritance of Han Yuan, a Jindan insect cultivator. Recently, they wiped out the Jiang family. With the addition of some techniques contributed by Lin Hongyu, the family has collected quite a few more top-level techniques.

For example, "Bixia Yuan Gong" and "Jia Mu Xuan Gong" are two top-level exercises suitable for cultivators with wood-attribute spiritual roots.

However, just like the "Golden Tripod Mysterious Art" that Zhou Chun practiced, it is not easy to practice these top-level skills successfully and achieve success.

Zhou Xinyan was now faced with three top-level skills. Just like Zhou Chun at the beginning, he was excited and conflicted, and it was difficult for him to make a decision for a while.

After reading the contents of the three techniques, he looked at Zhou Chun with a troubled look on his face and asked, "Patriarch, which technique do you think I should practice?"

"If you practice the Ten Thousand Trees True Art, with the current foundation of your family, and if you are willing to invest more resources in the future, it should not be a problem for you to practice to the Golden Core stage. However, due to limited resources, you will probably stop at the early stage of the Golden Core stage, and it will be difficult to make any further progress."

"As for the Bixia Yuan Gong, although it is exquisite and mysterious, and has infinite uses, it requires the Biluo Spiritual Wood as its foundation. According to the instructions on the technique, the Biluo Spiritual Wood is a fifth-level spiritual material that is enough to refine spiritual treasures. Where can your family find it for you?"

“If you choose to practice the Jiamu Xuan Gong, although the practice process is somewhat painful and tedious, and the probability of going astray is also higher, your magical powers will be superior, and you can also learn the Jiamu Thunder Method. If you can successfully form a pill in the future, you may be able to achieve a great reputation!”

Zhou Chun spoke eloquently, explaining the pros and cons of the three methods one by one.

Once you choose your main technique and succeed in practicing it, it will be difficult to change it, so Zhou Chun couldn't help Zhou Xinyan choose directly.

Otherwise, if the other party has trouble practicing in the future, he might be blamed instead.

However, there is nothing wrong with analyzing and pointing out the pros and cons of a technique for the younger generation.

If the younger generation clearly knows the pros and cons but still chooses the wrong method, and then encounters setbacks in the future, they can't blame anyone else.

Zhou Xinyan was able to cultivate to the foundation-building stage, so he is not a fool.

After listening to Zhou Chun’s analysis, I knew what to choose.

He glanced at the Ten Thousand Trees True Art and the Jiamu Mysterious Art, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Junior understands. Then I will choose to practice the Jiamu Mysterious Art!"

Zhou Chun's eyes flickered slightly when he heard this.

Then he said in a deep voice: "Have you made your choice? Don't you regret it?"

"No regrets!"

Zhou Xinyan replied in a deep voice with a determined look.

"Okay, then take this jade slip of the "Jia Mu Xuan Gong" back and study it first, and then learn some Taoist texts. When you have mastered the Taoist texts, come to me or the Fourth Elder to get the Taoist Instrument to study with!"

As Zhou Chun spoke, he waved his hand, and the jade slip that recorded the method of practicing the "Jia Mu Xuan Gong" in the foundation-building period fell into Zhou Xinyan's hands.
