Chapter 487 Zhou Chun’s Bold Idea [First Update, Please Subscribe]

Zhou Zhengyong's success in opening up the Purple Mansion is definitely a happy event for the entire Zhou family.

The occurrence of this happy event also dispelled the sad atmosphere brought about by the death of Zhou Jiarui more than a year ago.

He thus became the fifth Purple Mansion Stage cultivator in the Zhou family, and the second Purple Mansion Stage cultivator of the "Zheng" generation.

“I still feel like I’m dreaming!”

"I never thought that I would be able to successfully open up the Purple Mansion one day!"

“This is incredible and unreal!”

In Zhou Chun's cave, Zhou Zhengyong, who had just come out of retreat, came here to meet him, and his whole face looked dazed.

Obviously, he has successfully opened up the Purple Palace, but he seems to be the one who can't believe it is true!

This situation is probably like a beggar who is suddenly told that he is the lost crown prince, and then is welcomed into the palace, put on a dragon robe, sits on the dragon throne, and accepts the congratulations of the ministers on the new emperor's ascension to the throne.

The surprise is really huge!!!

Seeing this, Zhou Chun smiled faintly and said, "There's nothing incredible. I've said it before, Brother Yong, your success rate in opening up the Purple Palace is not low, but you just don't believe it!"

When Zhou Chun was building his foundation, he failed once.

However, he opened up the Purple Mansion in one go, and it was very easy to do so. The spiritual object [Snow Soul Pill] that he used to assist in opening up the Purple Mansion was inferior in efficacy to [Purple Profound Pill] and [Xuanxin Purple Returning Pill].

Therefore, in his opinion, the reason why many cultivators are unable to open up the Purple Mansion is that they are restricted by resources and find it difficult to purchase spiritual objects to assist in opening up the Purple Mansion.

Without the assistance of these spiritual objects, even awakening the soul would be difficult to achieve, and the success rate would naturally not be higher than that of a Qi Refining cultivator who does not take any spiritual objects to impact the foundation.

In addition, when opening up the Purple Palace, the cultivator's own will, belief, and luck are also very important.

Zhou Zhengyong has followed the Zhou family in battles over the years and has experienced life-and-death crises many times. After being tempered by these life-and-death crises, his personal character and will are no less inferior to any other cultivator.

At the same time, he did not have any psychological burden in opening up the Purple Mansion this time, so it did not matter even if it failed.

Plus, his luck has always been pretty good.

It was not particularly surprising that he was able to successfully open up the Purple Mansion in the end.

After chatting with Zhou Zhengyong and helping him calm down, Zhou Chun said on the spot that he would hold a Zifu celebration for him so that all members of the Zhou family could share in the joy.

Zhou Zhengyong did not refuse this.

Even for a Jindan family, having one more Purple Mansion stage cultivator is equivalent to having one more foundation.

It is still necessary to hold a Zifu celebration to unite people.

However, because it was a special period, the Purple Mansion celebration was not grand. Basically, only the Zhou family's cultivators and some invited independent cultivators attended the ceremony. Among the family forces, only the Su family and other immortal cultivation families that were not under the jurisdiction of the Qinglian Temple were invited to send people to watch the ceremony.

Despite this, the festive atmosphere brought by the celebration made the Zhou clan members, who had been frightened for a long time during the war, smile for the first time in a long time and celebrated with singing and dancing.

"What do you think of the disciples of my Zhou family? How do they compare to the Jindan families of the Great Zhou Kingdom?"

At the banquet, Zhou Chun was probably in a really good mood and drank some extra spirit wine. When some younger clan members were performing a magic battle, he couldn't help but ask Luo Qingni, who was invited to watch the ceremony, for her opinion.

After he finished speaking, Lin Hongyu, Zhou Mingde and other senior members of the Zhou family who were sitting at the top all looked at Luo Qingni with curiosity, wanting to hear the opinions of this high-level cultivator from the Great Zhou Kingdom.

To be fair, except for Zhou Chun who has not yet formed a golden elixir, the current Zhou family is no weaker than the Zhou family during the Three Absolute Sect period in terms of strength in all aspects.

Even in the later era of the Three Absolute Sect, the Zhou family was not as strong as the current Zhou family.

Looking at all the Jindan families in Jingguo, there are not many that can surpass the Zhou family in the number of Purple Mansion cultivators and Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Therefore, when the Zhou family leaders saw many of the clan’s elites gathered together at today’s celebration, they all felt quite satisfied and proud.

Because all this is the result of their joint efforts.

However, facing the eager anticipation of everyone in the Zhou family, Luo Qingni frowned.

She originally didn't want to attend the celebration, but only agreed after Zhou Chun repeatedly asked her to.

But even so, she had only intended to go through the motions and drink a few cups of tea.

She didn't want Zhou Chun, who was always steady in her impression, to suddenly ask her a question like this.

If she didn't answer at this time, it would be tantamount to not giving Zhou Chun face and making him look bad in public, which would only ruin their relationship.

But if she was asked to answer, she had no idea how to answer.

After pondering for a long time, she slowly shook her head and said, "Qing Ni doesn't know much about the Zhou family, but judging from the cultivation and age of these younger generations of the Zhou family, they are all pretty good and can be compared with those ordinary Jindan families in the Great Zhou Kingdom!"

"Can it only be compared with the ordinary Jindan families in the Great Zhou Kingdom?"

Zhou Mingde muttered to himself, seeming somewhat dissatisfied with Luo Qingni's answer.

He had also witnessed the situation of the Zhou family during its heyday. He asked himself that the current Zhou family, except for the Jindan stage cultivators mentioned above, the situation of the younger generations was not much different from the previous times when the Zhou family was prosperous.

However, even so, in Luo Qingni's eyes, they could only be compared with ordinary Jindan families in the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Just compare, not exceed!
This inevitably made him feel lost.

However, Zhou Chun came back to his senses a little from Luo Qingni's answer and realized that he had been a little reckless and abrupt just now.

But now, in front of so many people, it was not easy to apologize to Luo Qingni. He could only nod slightly to Luo Qingni with an apologetic look in his eyes, and then said: "The Great Zhou Kingdom is the center of the world of immortal cultivation. It is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. It is a blessing for our Zhou family to be compared with the Jindan family in such a big country!"

After that, he picked up a cup of spiritual wine, raised it to the many cultivators and said, "Come, this cup is for Fellow Daoist Luo, thank her for attending today's celebration!"

Hearing his words, many monks below immediately raised their glasses to greet Luo Qingni and said, "Cheers to Senior Luo!"

Then they all drank the wine in the cup.

After this incident, nothing tense happened again during the celebration, and everyone was happy until the end. When the celebration was over and they were bidding farewell to Luo Qingni, Zhou Chun bowed to her again with an apologetic look on his face and said, "I was a little reckless and abrupt during the celebration today, and I hope Brother Luo will forgive me."

Facing his apology, Luo Qingni just shook her head slightly and said, "Qingni won't care about this little thing."

Then he looked at Zhou Chun with a serious face and asked, "Just when do you plan to set off with Qing Ni to go to the Great Zhou? You know, although Qing Ni doesn't have a big family to take care of like you, it's not easy for her to leave Tianyuan Immortal City for a long time!"

She is a well-known alchemy master in Tianyuan Fairy City, and has received many alchemy commissions there.

Although she had temporarily stopped accepting alchemy commissions before coming to the Zhou family to look for Zhou Chun.

But that doesn't mean she doesn't care about this money-making job.

It is foreseeable that if she does not return to Tianyuan Fairy City for a long time, then the old customers she has accumulated will definitely switch to other alchemy masters, directly reducing her market share.

This would be quite detrimental to her future practice.

Facing her urging words, Zhou Chun immediately frowned and said, "This..."

As he spoke, he suddenly changed his voice transmission and asked, "Fellow Daoist Luo, do you think it would be feasible if Zhou formed a golden elixir in that secret island and then used his golden elixir cultivation to help you get the treasure?"

"What? Fellow Daoist Zhou, you want to form a pill in the secret island!"

Luo Qingni was shocked and astonished by Zhou Chun's bold idea.

She looked at Zhou Chun in shock. After she saw that Zhou Chun didn't look like he was joking, she slowly calmed down and thought carefully about Zhou Chun's words.

After thinking about it for a while, she whispered, "I'm afraid this won't work. Let alone if you form an elixir in that secret island, it will trigger the forbidden spell to teleport you out. Even if you put yourself in danger of going astray for the sake of the treasures, it's not worth it."

At this point, she explained to Zhou Chun with a serious face: "I think Fellow Daoist Zhou also knows that when the golden elixir is successfully formed, a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth will be absorbed in order to support the energy required to condense the golden elixir."

“If you form a pill in that secret island, without the help of the Spirit Purification Array to purify the turbid evil spirit contained in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, a large amount of turbid evil spirit will invade your body, which will inevitably cause you to fall into a state of infatuation!”

“And even if you, Daoist Brother Zhou, have great perseverance and amazing willpower and are able to overcome the difficulty of being possessed by the devil, a large amount of turbid evil energy will directly flow into your golden elixir, and it will be very difficult to get rid of it in the future, or even impossible to eradicate it at all!”

Having reached Luo Qingni's level of cultivation, one would certainly know that the "turbid evil energy" is not impossible to eliminate.

Moreover, when she was practicing in Jiufeng Ridge, she had also seen the musk deer raised by the Zhou family. She knew that the spiritual fragrance produced by this monster could dispel "dirty evil air."

But she knew better that most spiritual creatures that could repel "turbid evil air" could only repel trace or small amounts of "turbid evil air".

If one were to form an elixir in the secret island as Zhou Chun said, a large amount of "turbid evil energy" would inevitably accumulate and settle in the body.

Such a large amount of "dirty evil energy" cannot be eliminated by ordinary spiritual creatures.

"If you really have this idea, you'd better give it up. You should know that because we are Jindan-stage cultivators, our physical bodies and magic power are too strong, many ordinary spiritual objects can no longer have any effect on us. The spiritual fragrance produced by your Zhou family's fragrant musk deer may have a good effect on Qi-refining and foundation-building cultivators, but for Jindan-stage cultivators like us, the effect will definitely be greatly reduced!"

Luo Qingni still truly regarded Zhou Chun as a friend, and did not disregard Zhou Chun's life or death just because she wanted to obtain the treasures in the secret island.

Zhou Chun was deeply moved when he heard her sincere words of comfort.

Regardless of whether Luo Qingni's words just now were 100% sincere, at least her attitude made people feel comfortable.

At that moment, he also revealed some details to Luo Qingni, and said slowly: "I appreciate the kindness of Brother Luo, but I have this idea, it's not a fantasy."

"To be honest, Fellow Daoist Luo, the Zhou family currently secretly possesses another spiritual fragrance that is more effective than the fragrant musk deer. In the past, a Purple Mansion cultivator cultivated in the wilderness for decades with this fragrance and was able to maintain his mind. Therefore, Zhou still has great confidence in this fragrance."

"In addition, the head of the Yuelun Sect of Jingguo, Senior Baiyue Zhenren, has cultivated a powerful magical power called [Moonlight Purifying the World]. This magical power is also very effective in purifying the 'turbid evil spirit' and can even cleanse the souls of cultivators!"

"Therefore, Zhou thought that if we were fully prepared, we might give it a try!"

Of course, what he really relies on is not what he said.

But this did not prevent him from using these as excuses to cover up his tracks.

To be precise, it was to cover up Luo Qingni's eyes and ears!

After all, if Zhou Chun really did this, then the only person who would know that he had formed the Dan in the secret island would be Luo Qingni.

In fact, he had this idea when he heard Luo Qingni say that Jindan-stage cultivators could no longer enter the secret island.

After all, if he didn't do this, he would only have one chance to enter the secret island, and he would definitely not be able to take away the truly precious treasures inside.

This kind of thing, going to a mountain of treasures but coming back empty-handed, is not his style.

After listening to his explanation, Luo Qingni looked at him with a strange expression and fell silent.

After being silent for a while, she shook her head and said, "If Daoist Zhou is really determined to do this, Qing Ni won't say much. But from Qing Ni's own perspective, she will never take such a risk!"

She has done the most she can by saying this.

After all, she knew in her heart that Zhou Chun's real intention in doing this was not to take the treasure for her, but to covet the more precious inheritance of the Nascent Soul Stage in the secret island.

If you just try to persuade and obstruct others, you might be blocking their path.

And her answer was also within Zhou Chun's expectations.

He immediately looked at her with a smile and said, "If Fellow Daoist Luo has no objection, then I can continue to practice peacefully in Jiufeng Ridge for a few more years. If everything goes well for me now, it will probably only take three to five years for me to complete my practice and reach the requirements for forming a pill!"

Being able to use this as an excuse to keep Luo Qingni for a longer period of time was a sure win for Zhou Chun.

Luo Qingni would never have thought that what she saw as a risk to her own life and future in life would actually not be dangerous at all with Zhou Chun.

After listening to Zhou Chun's words, she paused for a moment, then sighed and said, "No matter what, I advise you to think about it calmly. Qing Ni will take her leave now."

After saying that, he bowed to Zhou Chun and left.

And since she did not reject Zhou Chun's suggestion, it means she agreed!
