Chapter 488: Spiritual Beast Advancement, Beating Subordinates [Second Update, Please Subscribe]

Tuyun Ridge.

In the valley outside Zhou Chun's cave, the golden-winged tiger and Lei Jiao Baibai, the dragon and the tiger, were playing a game of cat and mouse in the valley.

One of them performed the Thunder Escape Technique and continuously transformed into a flash of lightning and flew around in the valley.

One of them kept using the "Flash in the Air" technique, appearing and disappearing suddenly and reappearing suddenly.

Mu Mei was sitting on the purple mulberry tree watching the show.

Speaking of which, this purple mulberry tree has been rooted in the Zhou family for decades. Under Mu Mei's dedicated care, the tree is now a second-grade top-quality spiritual wood. It is estimated that it will be promoted to a third-grade spiritual wood within ten years!
And with the foundation of this tree, the third-level spiritual wood will not be the upper limit of its growth.

Within a hundred years, it is possible for it to become a fourth-level spiritual wood!

However, before it becomes a fourth-level spiritual wood, Mu Mei may break through to the fourth level first.

Just half a year ago, Zhou Chun had taken Mu Mei to a wilderness area, where he directly killed a third-rank low-grade monster, the Green Haired Ape. He then had Mu Mei absorb a large area of ​​green pear wood forest that was occupied by the Green Haired Ape, including three third-rank green pear trees!
Originally, after Zhou Chun had been taught a lesson in the wilderness last time, and also after having seen the demon cultivator bring down the revenge of the fourth-level three-headed black snake because of his slaughter of a third-level monster, he did not want to easily slaughter third-level monsters in the wilderness again.

However, the attributes of the green-haired ape were too compatible with the green-wood spirit ape of the Zhou family, which made him unable to resist the urge to kill the monster and obtain the elixir.

The Qingmu Spirit Ape, who guards the Zhou family's library, can be considered a veteran and meritorious member of the Zhou family.

When Zhou Chun was still weak, this ape helped him a lot.

However, ever since this ape was promoted to a second-level top-grade monster, it seemed as if its bloodline potential had been exhausted, and there was no hope of it breaking through to the third level at all.

As a second-level demon beast, the lifespan of this ape is not much longer than that of a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, probably only three to four hundred years.

Nowadays, this ape has entered its old age compared to its lifespan.

Zhou Chun originally had no good solution for this problem. After all, the way he trained his several third-level monsters was almost impossible to replicate.

It was impossible for him to spend so much time looking for a breakthrough spiritual object just for this ownerless Green Wood Spirit Ape.

But this time, since he happened to encounter a third-grade low-grade demon pill suitable for the Qingmu Spirit Ape, there was no reason for Zhou Chun not to fight for it.

After killing the monster and obtaining the elixir, Zhou Chun quickly brought Mu Mei back to the family, and then gave the elixir to Qingmu Lingyuan for him to take and digest.

As for whether the Qingmu Spirit Ape can succeed in the end, that all depends on God's will.

After absorbing the wood spirit power accumulated from hundreds of first- and second-level green pear trees, and then absorbing the wood spirit power from three third-level green pear trees, Mu Mei's cultivation naturally broke through to the third-level middle grade.

As for Zhou Chun, all the spiritual pears grown on the green pear trees became his trophies.

These spiritual pears do not taste very good, they are sweet, sour and astringent. Low-level monks will experience mild poisoning symptoms after eating them, so they are not suitable for direct consumption.

But they can be used to make green pear wine.

After Zhou Chun picked all the spiritual fruits, he directly asked people to use the thousands of kilograms of spiritual pears to brew fruit wine, preparing to drink it slowly later.

At this time, when Lei Jiao Baibai and the Golden Winged Tiger were having a great time chasing each other, Zhou Chun's figure suddenly appeared in the valley.

Seeing their master appear, the two monsters immediately stopped playing and flew in front of him to act coquettishly and seek favor.

"Alright, alright, you're all so old, but you're still acting like kids!"

Zhou Chun looked at the huge tiger head and dragon head that were approaching, feeling both amused and speechless.

I could only touch them one by one, take out two pieces of frozen meat from the storage bag and feed them, and then send them away.

In fact, as all of his spiritual pets were exposed, Zhou Chun’s control over them was not so strict.

As long as they do not leave the Tuyunling mountain protection formation, Zhou Chun will allow them to walk around inside the mountain gate.

However, apart from the golden-winged tiger who would occasionally go and fight with Zhou Mingde's fire god jackal, and the wood spirit who would occasionally sneak out to act wild, the thunder dragon Baibai and the golden-armored mountain turtle Shitou did not like to move around.

The eldest and the second oldest basically fall asleep whenever they have nothing to do, and each one sleeps longer than the other!
After Zhou Chun left the cave, he went to Zhongping Hall to handle clan affairs.

After his observation over the past few years, he found that Zhou Xinyi was steady and reliable in his work, and had won his recognition.

Now Zhou Chun basically only needs to go to Zhongping Hall for an hour every day to learn some information from various aspects and handle some clan affairs.

After Zhou Chun arrived at Zhongping Palace today, Zhou Xinyi had already placed the important intelligence information he had sorted out on his desk for him to review.

Zhou Chun soon saw an eye-catching piece of news on it.

Li Qianyang, the core disciple of Zhengyang Palace, has successfully formed a golden elixir!
"It's so fast. It's been less than five years since the end of the war, and he's already ahead! Are these guys really delayed in their chance to form a pill because of the war?"

Zhou Chun put down the information in his hand and felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

He knew in his heart that Li Qianyang was just the first person walking in front.

As one of the "Seven Great Heroes of Heaven", he knew very well how much benefit the others had gained in the war.

Now that Li Qianyang has taken the lead, others will surely follow one after another.

And Zhou Chun can't afford to be left too far behind in this regard.

This has nothing to do with his reputation, it's just that he doesn't want to fall behind others.

"Soon, in two or three years, I will be able to take that step!"

He thought to himself and started looking at other information.

Soon another piece of information attracted his attention.

However, the Tianling Legion announced that it had achieved initial results in wiping out the remaining demonic cultivators, and that more cultivators would be allowed to retire and return home next.

But on the other hand, the Tianling Alliance issued an advocacy announcement, advocating that immortal cultivation families and sects from all over the country form a joint demon-hunting team to conduct regular patrols and eliminate the demon cultivators who are causing trouble in the country.

This is just an advocacy document, not a requirement.

However, with this advocacy document, families that want to establish a joint demon-hunting team will have official endorsement and will not be regarded as illegal armed organizations by the local ruling factions.

"This is an opportunity. Perhaps we can make it work and let the Supreme Elder and Xu Fu retire and return home in the name of forming a demon-killing team. Then my Zhou family will take the lead in forming a demon-killing team!"

Zhou Chun's mind turned, and an idea immediately came into his mind.

After thinking for a while, he asked Zhou Xinyi, "Last time, we asked the family to screen the members who are willing to join the Moon Religion. Have the results come out?" Hearing his words, Zhou Xinyi quickly responded, "The results have long been out. I will send the list to you, clan leader."

As he spoke, he took out a report from the filing cabinet in the hall and handed it to Zhou Chun's desk.

According to Zhou Chun's requirements, the first page of this information report directly lists the name, gender, age, qualifications and other information of the relevant personnel, followed by more detailed personal information, such as their background, the evaluation of them by the teachers in the family school, etc.

Today, the Zhou family is no longer short of cultivators with mid-level spiritual roots like Zhou Chun.

Therefore, as long as one does not have the qualifications of a top-grade spiritual root, as long as the person or his relatives want to send him to the Moon Wheel Sect, he will be included in the list.

This first batch of Zhou family disciples sent to Yuelun Sect is the Zhou family's token of allegiance, and they must not be treated perfunctorily like they did to Qinglian Temple!
After reading through the information of dozens of people in the file, Zhou Chun circled the names of the people he had chosen with a pen, then handed the file to Zhou Xinyi and said, "Have someone bring the ten people I circled here for me to take a look. If there are no problems, I will personally send them to the Moon Wheel Sect's mountain gate in a few days!"

"Yes, I'll do it right away!"

Zhou Xinyi responded respectfully, immediately took the file and went to handle the matter personally.

Soon after, ten Zhou family children of appropriate age, big and small, were brought to the Zhongping Palace.

These ten people happened to be five men and five women, the oldest was fourteen years old and the youngest was eight years old. Their ages all met the standards for recruiting disciples for a large sect like the Moon Wheel Sect.

Of course, if it weren’t for the Zhou family’s connections, the three children with inferior spiritual roots would never have had the chance to join the Moon Wheel Sect.

As the largest sect in Jingguo, the Yuelun Sect’s requirement for recruiting disciples is that they must have medium-grade spiritual roots.

The Zhou family also gave ten places to the Yuelun Sect this time, and because it was the first time to recruit Zhou family disciples, there was no restriction on spiritual root qualifications.

If there are any members of the Zhou family who want to join the Yuelun Sect in the future, they will have to go through normal channels and send them over when the Yuelun Sect opens its doors to recruit disciples.

Since they were all young children, Zhou Chun did not say any big principles to them. He just personally checked their spiritual root qualifications again to avoid the pearl being covered in dust.

After confirming that everyone's conditions were the same as in the file book, Zhou Chun asked Zhou Xinyi to take the people back to their relatives so that they could say goodbye.

Three days later, Zhou Chun rode on a dragon and took ten young children from the Zhou family directly to the gate of the Yuelun Sect.

At this time, Zhou Chun had already become famous in all directions. After arriving at the Yuelun Sect, he was easily welcomed into the sect's mountain gate. He then watched with his own eyes as the monk in charge of teaching new disciples of the Yuelun Sect completed the examination and registration of ten young children from the Zhou family and held an initiation ceremony.

After the relevant procedures and ceremonies were completed, Zhou Chun comforted the young children in the family and then went to pay a visit to Master Baiyue in person.

This time, Zhou Chun came to pay a visit to Master Baiyue mainly to thank Yuelun Sect for protecting the Zhou family and to express loyalty on behalf of the Zhou family. He also discussed the number of monsters that the Zhou family would pay tribute to in the future.

Perhaps because of his wealthy family, Master Baiyue easily agreed to some of the material conditions proposed by Zhou Chun.

The only request he made to the Zhou family was to pay a certain amount of dragon blood as tribute every year.

Zhou Chun couldn't refuse this request, because this was one of the conditions that allowed the Yuelun Sect to agree to protect the Zhou family.

I could only secretly apologize to the two dragons, Qingjiao Qingqing and Leijiao Baibai.

After the relevant conditions were agreed upon, Zhou Chun drew some of the Thunder Dragon's white dragon blood on the spot and gave it to Master Baiyue, and then told him about letting Zhou Daoyi and others retire.

As the saying goes, one should be lenient when taking favors from others. After the Zhou family had begun to take practical actions to fulfill their obligations as a vassal family, Master Baiyue quickly agreed to Zhou Chun's request and asked him to go back and wait for news.

After waiting at home for less than three months, Zhou Daoyi, Zhou Xinyan, Zhou Xintie and other Zhou family cultivators retired one after another and returned to their family.

However, Xu Fu did not retire and return. Instead, he took the initiative to write a letter to Zhou Chun to explain that he wanted to stay in the legion to continue to gain military merits in exchange for the spiritual objects of the Purple Mansion!
Obviously, he was also very clear that given his background, it was impossible for the Zhou family to prepare any spiritual objects to assist him in opening up the Purple Mansion.

"This kid has really grown wings!"

Zhou Chun looked at the letter of apology that Xu Fu had someone send back, and his face turned slightly cold.

Xu Fu chose to stay in the army for his own career. This was indeed a personal choice and there is nothing wrong with it.

But it is also a fact that he disobeyed the will of Zhou Chun, the patriarch.

This is not a good sign!

"Could it be that he thinks that by staying in the Legion and having the protection of the Legion and the Alliance, he can escape the control of our Zhou Family?"

Zhou Chun muttered to himself, feeling that it was necessary to teach this disobedient servant a lesson and let him know the strength of his master's family.

Immediately, Zhou Chun personally wrote a letter to Wei Yong and arranged for someone to deliver it as quickly as possible.

Then, less than a month later, Xu Fu was transferred to a brigade of the Tianling Legion stationed in Lingzhou.

This brigade was stationed in the former Donglingfang Market in Lingzhou, only a few hundred miles away from Zhoujia Tuyunling.

Xu Fu, who was suddenly transferred like this, would definitely not know why he was transferred here.

When he came to Lingzhou to take office, he didn't even bother to report to the Donglingfang City headquarters first, and hurried to Tuyunling to apologize to Zhou Chun.

"Bang, bang, bang. I know I was wrong. Chief, please give me a chance to reform for my loyalty!"

In the Zhongping Hall, Xu Fu, who was summoned by Zhou Chun, knelt down on the ground and kowtowed for mercy as soon as he came in.

He was smart enough not to try to explain anything and just begged Zhou Chun to give him a chance.

Zhou Chun stared at him with cold eyes until his back broke into a cold sweat and his body began to tremble. Then he spoke in a low voice, "Xu Fu, remember, although your last name is not Zhou, you are still a member of our Zhou family. No matter where you go or what identity you have, you must not forget this!"

"Since my Zhou family has been able to bring you to where you are today and to have the cultivation you have now, I can also make you lose everything and scatter your soul. Do you understand?"

At the end of his speech, Zhou Chun's voice suddenly rang in Xu Fu's ears like thunder, making his head buzz.

Then he quickly responded in a conditioned reflex: "Yes, I understand. I will definitely remember the clan leader's instructions today and will never forget my identity!"

"That's better. I'll be watching you!"

Zhou Chun warned him again and then waved his hand to let him leave.

However, after Xu Fu left, Zhou Chun looked at his departing back and remembered a long-forgotten secret technique in his hands.

"It seems that after forming the elixir, I have to practice the Soul Controlling Technique successfully as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be too time-consuming and resource-consuming to subdue this kind of person by normal means!"

Zhou Chun didn't want to waste his energy on these things, nor did he dare to bet on the other party's loyalty.

The best way, naturally, is to use the secret technique of "Soul Controlling Technique" to control his life and death, so that he will completely give up the idea of ​​leaving the Zhou family!
