Chapter 497 Goodbye Yu Jinghua [Subscribe]

Half a month passed quickly.

Luo Qingni did not contact Zhou Chun during this period, which means that he has not yet come out of confinement.

I don’t know what kind of important elixir she was refining that took so long.

And Zhou Chun also visited Tianbao Pavilion again on time.

"This [Taiyi Mysterious Gold Qi] is the gold essence that some Jindan-stage sword cultivators of the Jiuyuan Sword Sect often buy to refine their natal flying swords. It can only be refined by Jindan-stage cultivators who practice the gold-type skills and use special secret techniques to smelt multiple types of gold energy!"

“If even this kind of gold essence cannot satisfy Fellow Daoist Zhang’s needs, then unless Fellow Daoist Zhang can ask a Yuanying Stage True Person to condense gold energy for you, otherwise you will never find gold energy of higher quality than this [Taiyi Mysterious Gold Energy]!”

Inside the Tianbao Pavilion, Sun Yuanjing raised his hand and handed a small black bottle to Zhou Chun. Then, with a hint of pride in his tone, he introduced the origin of the gold in the bottle.

After hearing his words, Zhou Chun's eyes suddenly lit up.

Zhou Chun had just witnessed the power of a Jindan-stage sword cultivator a while ago, and now when he heard Sun Yuanjing say this, he couldn't help but feel more expectant.

Without saying anything more, he simply opened the cork and checked the gold inside.

This [Taiyi Xuanjin Qi] was somewhat different from most of the gold energies Zhou Chun had seen before. Its color was white and yellow, seven parts white and three parts golden yellow, and its aura was sharp and fierce.

He absorbed a tiny bit of it into his body and immediately felt an extremely strong stinging sensation. The Dao Cauldron in his Dantian also seemed to sense something and began to vibrate slightly.

Seeing this situation, he knew what was going on.

He immediately looked at Sun Yuanjing and said, "Yes, this [Taiyi Mysterious Gold Qi] has indeed met Zhang's requirements. I wonder how much of this gold energy Manager Sun can get for Zhang?"

Hearing his words, Sun Yuanjing's eyes immediately gleamed, and he said slowly: "The [Taiyi Mysterious Gold Qi] is extremely useful for the sword cultivators of the Jiuyuan Sword Sect to temper their own flying swords. Most of the [Taiyi Mysterious Gold Qi] produced by the Great Zhou Kingdom every year is taken up by them. If Fellow Daoist Zhang's demand is small, it's not a big deal. But if the demand is large, I'm afraid it won't be an easy task!"

It's not easy, but it is something that can be done.

Zhou Chun easily understood the hidden meaning of Sun Yuanjing's words.

After pondering for a while, he looked at Sun Yuanjing and said, "This [Taiyi Mysterious Gold Qi] will be very useful for Zhang to cultivate a magical power. If you want to master the magical power, the amount required must be quite large. I would like to trouble Shopkeeper Sun to help Zhang with this!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and patted the storage bag on his waist, and a green feather fan appeared in his hand.

This green feather fan was the trophy he got when he killed the multi-winged wizard.

He had originally planned to sell this thing to a large shop with a strong background, and Tianbao Pavilion undoubtedly met the standards of this large shop.

He handed the green feather fan to Sun Yuanjing and said, "This treasure will be regarded as a deposit paid by me in advance. As long as Manager Sun can help me find enough [Taiyi Mysterious Gold Qi], I will also collect some thousand-year-old spiritual medicines or magic weapons and spiritual materials to pay for the transaction. What do you think, Manager Sun?"

"This is a fourth-tier magic weapon used by the Multi-Winged Clan's Grand Mage!"

Sun Yuanjing looked at the green feather fan in front of him. With his rich experience and knowledge, he could tell the origin and grade of the item at a glance.

Then he looked at Zhou Chun with a look of surprise and doubt, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

Although the green feather fan in Zhou Chun's hand might have been obtained from a high-level magician of the Multi-Winged Clan, Sun Yuanjing knew that this possibility was probably not very high.

After all, the Multi-Winged Clan's fourth-tier magic weapon is even more precious than the magic weapons of the human race's cultivation world, and it is basically unlikely to be possessed by a high-level magician.

Zhou Chun, who claimed that he had just formed a pill, was now able to casually take out a fourth-level magic weapon of the Multi-Winged Clan that was as precious as a magic weapon. This could not help but make Sun Yuanjing suspicious.

He suspected that Zhou Chun's claim of having just formed the elixir was not true.

But this suspicion was just a suspicion, he couldn't ask it out.

After his expression changed, he smiled at Zhou Chun and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang is indeed extraordinary. He can even easily take out the fourth-level magic weapon used by the Multi-Winged Clan's great magician. I admire you!"

After saying that, he nodded and said, "With this item as a deposit, it is naturally enough, but if Fellow Daoist Zhang has a large demand, I am afraid we will have to wait a little longer to get enough. After all, the sword cultivators of the Jiuyuan Sword Sect are not short of money, and many people will give them face!"

"I understand this, but I don't want to wait too long. Can Manager Sun give me an approximate time?"

Zhou Chun nodded first, then looked at Sun Yuanjing and asked about the exact time.

After years of waiting since he laid the foundation, Zhou Chun could accept that it would take a little longer to recast the broken cauldron.

As long as he can complete this step before he collects all the materials needed to refine his natal magic weapon, it will be fine.

But we still cannot give in when it’s time to urge.

Facing his urgent question, Sun Yuanjing hesitated for a moment before saying, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, tell me how much you need. I will estimate how long it might take."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately made a rough estimate and gave a number.

In order to be absolutely sure, he naturally reported 20% to 30% more than the normal quantity required.

Sun Yuanjing actually knew this, so he didn't delve into it. After making some estimates, he said to him, "The amount you need, Fellow Daoist Zhang, is not small. If you really want to collect it all, it will take at least 20 to 30 years!"

"Thirty years is too long. Zhang can only wait twenty years at most!"

Zhou Chun shook his head and stated his bottom line in a deep voice.

In order to collect a spiritual object, it would take decades, which was something that high-level cultivators often encountered.

Only those with long lifespans can afford to wait for such a long time.

After listening to Zhou Chun's words, Sun Yuanjing made some calculations in his mind and soon spoke again: "How about this, let's set a limit of 25 years. Sun will try his best to gather enough [Taiyi Mysterious Gold Qi] for Zhang Daoyou in advance, but there is no guarantee that it can be completed within 20 years!"

"Okay, that's it. I'll have to trouble Shopkeeper Sun to take care of everything."

Zhou Chun thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement with Sun Yuanjing's opinion.

Anyway, he has just formed his elixir not long ago, and his life span is only a little over 200 years old. It is not completely impossible for him to wait a few more years.

After signing the contract on the spot, Zhou Chun left the green feather fan as a deposit and left Tianbao Pavilion first.

In the ten days that followed, Zhou Chun went in and out of some large shops and auctions in Tianyuan Fairy City, selling some spiritual objects that were specialties of the Dolan Grassland that he had obtained from the great wizard of the Multi-Winged Clan, as well as the magical weapon materials he had seized during the war.

These things brought him about 250,000 spirit coins. With his current status as a Jindan stage cultivator, he doesn't have to worry about being targeted.

Afterwards, he practiced in the temporary cave he rented for another seven or eight days before finally receiving the message from Luo Qingni.

After receiving the message, Zhou Chun did not waste any time and went to "Qingni Ju" in person.

"Congratulations to Brother Zhou for achieving the golden elixir, and may you live a thousand years!"

In "Qingni Residence", Luo Qingni welcomed Zhou Chun into the guest room. After the two of them were left, she congratulated Zhou Chun with a smile on her face.

She seemed to be in a very good mood. It was unclear whether it was because her retreat to refine the elixir was very successful, or because she had guessed that Zhou Chun had brought her something good, or both.

Facing her congratulations, Zhou Chun smiled faintly and said, "It's just that I just caught up with Fellow Daoist Luo."

Then he looked at Luo Qingni with a smile and asked, "Fellow Daoist Luo, why don't you guess what Zhou has gained from that secret island?"

Hearing his words, Luo Qingni's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and then she smiled sweetly and said, "Haha, after hearing what Brother Zhou said, Qingni can finally put her mind at ease."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Chun eagerly and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, please stop keeping us in suspense and let Qingni open her eyes!"

“Hahaha, Brother Luo is always calm, but it’s rare to see you in this state today!”

Zhou Chun laughed and couldn't help but tease Luo Qingni.

Then he didn't keep the secret any longer. He just raised his hand and patted the storage bag on his waist, and took out the alchemy furnace that he had taken away.

This alchemy furnace had been subdued by Zhou Chun. After it came out, as his magic power was injected into it, it grew larger to the size it was when it was first seen in the Danyuan Hall.

After this alchemy furnace appeared, Luo Qingni could not take her eyes off it.

She was seen gazing at the red-gold alchemy furnace with fiery eyes. She walked slowly to the furnace involuntarily and gently reached out to touch the flame carvings on the furnace wall as if she was caressing her lover.

Zhou Chun felt that this was quite strange.

However, putting himself in other people's shoes, Zhou Chun asked himself that if he obtained a treasure that could greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of his spirit beasts, or accelerate the growth of spirit beasts, he might also be as obsessed and excited as Luo Qingni is now.

Therefore, he did not urge or disturb Luo Qingni, but just waited quietly for her to wake up on her own.

After waiting for nearly half a quarter of an hour, Zhou Chun finally heard Luo Qingni murmur in surprise, "It is indeed a magical furnace used by Yuanying stage immortals to refine pills. It not only comes with its own matching furnace fire, but also has magical restrictions for storing and tempering pills!"

She seemed to be able to understand the purpose of the flame carvings on the alchemy furnace. Without even offering sacrifices to the furnace, she had already figured out some of its wonderful uses.

Zhou Chun also spoke up at this time: "It is your good fortune, Brother Luo. Although I successfully walked to the furnace before the pill was formed, it resisted the cultivators' collection. At that time, I was unable to take it away, and I almost burned the puppet you gave me!"

"Later, Zhou succeeded in forming a pill, and only then was he able to subdue it and bring it out."

He is not seeking credit for himself, he is just stating the facts.

After hearing what he said, Luo Qingni also felt a little scared.

She immediately looked at him with eyes full of gratitude and said, "Daoyou Zhou is as good as a promise. Qingni admires you!"

Zhou Chun then said, "In addition to this alchemy furnace, I also found some books related to alchemy in the Danyuan Hall. Perhaps Brother Luo will be interested!" Sure enough, upon hearing his words, Luo Qingni's beautiful eyes lit up again and she looked at him expectantly.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun smiled slightly, and immediately took out all the books related to alchemy and handed them to her.

The situation was just as he expected. After seeing those alchemy books, Luo Qingni, the master of alchemy, couldn't take his eyes off them again. He looked as if he couldn't wait to take the book and study hard in seclusion.

This forced him to speak up and interrupt the other party.

"Most of the things that Fellow Daoist Luo gave me before have been consumed, and this puppet is also seriously damaged. I'm afraid that Fellow Daoist Luo will need to send it back to the puppeteer to repair it before it can be used again."

As Zhou Chun spoke, he took out the giant ape puppet.

Seeing this, Luo Qingni immediately waved her hand and said, "These are all trivial matters. Can Brother Zhou tell me what you experienced after you formed the elixir on the secret island?"

After saying that, he looked at Zhou Chun curiously, waiting for his answer.

"Of course, there's nothing wrong with that."

Zhou Chun nodded and immediately began to talk about what happened after he formed his elixir.

Apart from concealing the fact that the five-colored dragon fish was killed by his sneak attack, deliberately ignoring his harvest in the medicine garden, and hiding the request of the owner of the secret island to find a successor, Zhou Chun did not hesitate to tell all his other experiences.

After listening to Zhou Chun's story, Luo Qingni couldn't help but sigh: "I see, I didn't expect that it would be so difficult to obtain the inheritance of the owner of the secret island. That senior didn't even think about letting future generations obtain his inheritance!"

"Forget about getting the inheritance. Even if someone can copy Zhou's experience and take the risk to form a pill successfully, it is impossible for them to pass the test!"

Zhou Chun said this half-truthfully, "Besides, everything that can be taken away has already been taken by me. Even if other people go in, it is estimated that they will not be able to gain anything!"

"That's true. If the situation in the weapon hall is similar to that in the alchemy room, even if a Purple Mansion cultivator can defeat two warrior puppets, it will be difficult to gain anything from it!"

Luo Qingni nodded, basically agreeing with Zhou Chun's words.

Then Zhou Chun said, "I would like to discuss with Fellow Daoist Luo to give me the jade talisman for entering and exiting the secret realm for safekeeping and use, so that my Zhou family cultivators can enter and exit the secret realm island to pick the spiritual herbs in the medicine garden in the future."

At this point, he hastily added, "Of course, if Daoist Luo wants to arrange for someone else to go on an adventure to the secret island, I can give the jade talisman to Daoist Luo at any time!"

"This one……"

Luo Qingni looked at Zhou Chun with a hesitant look on her face.

Although she and Zhou Chun could no longer enter the secret island, and although Zhou Chun also said that all the treasures that could be taken away from the secret island had been taken away.

But the secret island is, after all, a cave dwelling and Taoist temple left behind by a powerful Yuanying period immortal, and it contains inherited treasures and many spiritual objects left behind by the Yuanying period immortal.

Giving this unique entry and exit jade talisman to Zhou Chun for safekeeping is not equivalent to giving Zhou Chun the ownership of the secret island?

Seeing her hesitation, Zhou Chun said with a serious face: "Are you worried that I will embezzle the jade talisman? I think you don't have to worry about this. After all, if I don't give the jade talisman to the person you arranged, you can spread the news. Then I and the Zhou family will be in turmoil. How could I do such an unwise thing?"

Now that he had said this, Luo Qingni could no longer remain silent.

After a quick thought, he felt that what Zhou Chun said made sense, so he nodded reluctantly and said, "Okay then, Daoist Zhou will keep the jade talisman!"

When Zhou Chun heard this, he was immediately delighted and immediately bowed to him and said, "Thank you, Brother Luo, for your help!"

Then he went on to talk about wanting Luo Qingni to help introduce a puppeteer to repair the bow and arrow warrior puppet, and hinted that the precious elixirs he had obtained from the secret island could be given to Luo Qingni to help with refining pills in the future, or could be exchanged for other spiritual objects.

After hearing his request, Luo Qingni quickly replied, "That's easy to say. Master Qianji has always been very interested in the puppet-making method on the secret island. If Fellow Daoist Zhou is willing to give him a relatively complete puppet for research, he will definitely not refuse."

"Even if he can't research anything for the time being, it shouldn't be a problem for him to exchange a fourth-level puppet with Brother Zhou!"

With her assurance, Zhou Chun felt relieved.

So let’s talk about the last two things.

"I have two more things I want to trouble Brother Luo with. First, I want to ask Brother Luo for a few recipes that can improve the magic power of Foundation Establishment cultivators and Purple Mansion cultivators. It would be even better if there were recipes that are suitable for monsters to take!"

"The second thing is that I would like to trouble Brother Luo to help me start refining the [Holy Spirit Blood Pill] as soon as possible, so that I can take it back in time for my elders to take it and achieve the Golden Pill!"

Although he could ask Luo Qingni to help him refine the pills, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. It would naturally be better if the Zhou family could produce the pills themselves, even if it would waste some spiritual medicines.

Luo Qingni listened to his two requests, thought about it, and then looked at him and said, "Qingni can give you three pill recipes suitable for Foundation Establishment cultivators to improve their mana, one recipe for [Zeng Yuan Pill], and one recipe for [Gu Chen Pill] suitable for third-level monsters. Do you think it's okay, Brother Zhou?"

"As for refining the [Holy Spirit Blood Pill], it's easy too. Once Qing Ni refines this magical pill furnace, and starts refining pills a few times to get used to it, I'll immediately refine the pill for Fellow Daoist Zhou!"

"What? Fellow Daoist Luo still has a recipe for a pill suitable for a third-level monster beast!"

Zhou Chun looked at Luo Qingni with surprise, he was really overjoyed.

He originally thought that he would be satisfied if he could get a recipe for a pill similar to the [Demon Spirit Pill], but he didn't expect to get this unexpected surprise.

Unexpectedly, Luo Qingni shook her head and said, "Brother Zhou, don't be too happy. Although Qingni has the recipe for the Ancient Dust Pill, it consumes too many spiritual medicine resources to refine. Qingni has only refined it a few times for a Jindan-stage cultivator before."

As he spoke, he directly reported some precious materials needed to refine the [Ancient Dust Pill].

According to what she said, this [Ancient Dust Pill] is an ancient recipe. Although its medicinal power is strong, it also consumes a lot of spiritual medicine materials.

To refine a furnace of this kind of medicine, one needs to prepare twelve thousand-year-old elixirs and many other auxiliary medicines, and also needs to use the essence and blood of a fourth-level monster as a medicine guide.

In this way, even for a Jindan stage cultivator, it would be very difficult to gather enough materials for a furnace of [Ancient Dust Pill].

So after Luo Qingni got this pill recipe, except for refining a few batches of this elixir for a Jindan stage cultivator, she never refined it again.

But for Zhou Chun, as long as he could make the cultivation of these spiritual pets catch up with his own, it would be worth it no matter how many spiritual medicines he spent.

Therefore, after getting the pill recipe from Luo Qingni, he decided to make collecting the materials for the pill recipe a top priority in the future.

No one knows better than Zhou Chun himself how he got to where he is today.

Without the help of a few spiritual pets, he would be no different from other ordinary cultivators.

Therefore, after he formed the elixir, the best way to improve his strength was to train his spirit pet to the fourth level.

With the qualifications and potential of his several spirit pets, no matter which one of them is promoted to the fourth level, it will bring about a qualitative leap in his strength.

After finishing the conversation with Luo Qingni, Zhou Chun said goodbye and returned to his temporary cave.

Luo Qingni also went into seclusion to refine the magic furnace she had just acquired.

That alchemy furnace is at least a mid-grade magic weapon. With Luo Qingni's level of cultivation, it would take at least half a year to refine and use it as she wishes.

In addition, she would have to start the furnace to refine the elixir and familiarize herself with its performance, which would take several months. Zhou Chun estimated that she would be able to start refining the [Holy Spirit Blood Pill] only when her one-year cave rental period was over.

During this period of time, Zhou Chun naturally would not be idle.

He left Tianyuan Fairy City directly and went to Xiandu Market and other large markets in the Great Zhou Kingdom to sell the magic weapons and spiritual objects he had piled up, and to see if he could collect some magic weapons, spiritual materials and elixirs that he needed.

The Great Zhou Kingdom is vast and rich in resources. Although Tianyuan Fairy City is the most prosperous and lively place, it does not mean that other places do not have their own characteristics.

After visiting several markets, Zhou Chun actually collected a kind of spiritual material needed to refine his own magic weapon, as well as three thousand-year-old spiritual medicines that could be used to refine the [Ancient Dust Pill].

At the same time, he also earned nearly 300,000 spiritual coins by selling magical instruments and spiritual objects.

On this day, Zhou Chun entered a large market called Xuanqing Market and went straight to the largest store in the market as usual, to see if he could find what he needed.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived outside the shop, he saw two Jindan stage cultivators walking out one after another.

The two of them were exchanging pleasantries as they walked.

"Okay, Shopkeeper Ma, you don't need to send any more. I will leave now."

Only a low voice was heard from one of the men in black. While speaking, he looked at Zhou Chun who was coming over and nodded slightly to him.

However, Zhou Chun, who always paid great attention to etiquette, was stunned at this time and forgot to return the gift.

It was not until the man in black frowned, looked at him, and walked away that he suddenly came to his senses.

He turned his head to look at the receding figure. Although his eyes did not change much, his heart was already in turmoil.

You can’t go wrong!

The words he just heard were that person's voice!
Yu Jinghua, the traitor of the Zhou family!
Even though his appearance has changed, his voice has not changed, which still exposes his true identity!

"Does this fellow Daoist also know fellow Daoist Hua?"

Just when Zhou Chun's heart was in turmoil, a voice with a hint of curiosity brought him back to reality.

He looked up and saw the shopkeeper Ma, who had seen Yu Jinghua off, looking at him with curiosity.

The past is too painful to recall, and the lesson is profound! I can't hold on any longer today, so I'll just write 6,000 words, and I'll update 8,000 words tomorrow to make up for the 2,000 words I owe!
