Chapter 505: The Zhou Family's First Third-Rank Superior Monster [Subscription Request]

Tianyuan Fairy City.

When Zhou Chun left Tianzhi Tower, his expression was a little gloomy.

The last time he commissioned Tianzhilou to investigate Yu Jinghua's situation, he added some money to ask this store to help keep an eye out for follow-up news.

Now he learned that Yu Jinghua had never left the gate of Yulingmen since his last trip to Xuanqing Market.

Although Tianzhilou would not admit this, Zhou Chun had already realized that Yu Jinghua might have discovered that someone was investigating him, which was why he suddenly became cautious.

"We've alerted the enemy!"

Zhou Chun sighed in his heart and his mood instantly turned bad.

The reason why he didn't investigate it himself was because he was afraid of alerting the enemy.

I didn't expect Tianzhilou's work was so crude that it directly alarmed the target.

The only thing to be thankful for now is that Yu Jinghua probably doesn’t know who is investigating him, and is unlikely to suspect the Zhou family.

But if he still pays attention to the news about Jingguo, I am afraid that Zhou Chun's success in forming the elixir cannot be hidden from him, and he will definitely be more vigilant in the future.

This is why Zhou Chun is in a bad mood now.

But now that it has happened, there is no point in regretting it.

Zhou Chun could only return to his family with his harvest.

After returning to his family, Zhou Chun devoted all his energy to practicing the "Soul Controlling Technique" and other secret techniques.

He is unable to meditate and practice cultivation now, so he can only diligently practice various secret techniques.

After another year passed, the sleeping Mu Mei finally woke up and successfully broke through to the third level upper grade.

And after breaking through to the third-grade upper level, the wood spirit power it absorbed in the secret island has not been completely digested, and it can still continue to slowly digest it to improve its cultivation.

Zhou Chun estimated that if things went well, it would be able to break through to the fourth level in another twenty to thirty years.

Speaking of which, it is now the Zhou family’s first third-grade top-quality monster.

Although Zhou Mingde's Fire God Jackal had broken through to the third-level middle grade more than a hundred years ago, it has still not broken through to the third-level upper grade.

Zhou Daoyi's Green Dragon is still at the level of a third-order intermediate-grade monster and has not been able to break through to the third-order upper-grade level.

The reason why these monsters' cultivation levels increase so slowly is purely because they don't have any elixirs or spiritual objects to take, and they can't practice martial arts like human cultivators. They can only rely on their own bloodline qualifications to slowly absorb spiritual energy to grow.

Fortunately, the lifespan of third-level monsters is generally as long as seven or eight hundred years, and powerful races like dragons can live up to a thousand years, so they still have enough time to slowly survive.

After its cultivation level broke through to the upper third level, the various magical powers of the wood spirit were strengthened again. Zhou Chun asked it to use the "nectar rejuvenating" magical power on the [Zhu Yuan Fruit Tree] again, allowing the Zhou family to harvest forty-two Zhu Yuan Fruits.

According to the Zhou family's experience over the years, on average, four Yuan-Building Fruits can cultivate a Foundation-Building cultivator. If elixirs such as the [Pulse Protection Pill] are also prepared at the same time, the success rate will be even higher.

In the case of being unable to produce Foundation Establishment Pills on their own, having this spiritual fruit as a substitute is enough to ensure that the family will have a Foundation Establishment cultivator every few years!
While harvesting the Yuan-Building Fruit, Zhou Chun couldn't help but think of the origin of this tree.

In fact, he had a lot of ideas about the Thunder Dragon Lizards and Thunder Lizard Beasts on the Thunder Lizard Island. After all, they were a rare species of monsters that were very worth cultivating.

If we could kill those two third-order lightning dragon lizards and take their magic pills to give to Lei Jiao Baibai to eat, it would definitely help Lei Jiao Baibai break through to the third-order upper grade.

And those thunder lizard eggs can also allow the Zhou family to have a very distinctive main battle pet in the future.

However, Thunder Lizard Island is deep in Longyuan Lake. Once a Jindan-stage cultivator enters Longyuan Lake, it will easily attract the attention of the Jiaolong clan.

Once he reveals his identity in there, even a fifth-order dragon might attack him!
Therefore, even though Zhou Chun had successfully formed the elixir, he still did not dare to take the risk of going there easily.

People are like this, the higher they climb, the more they value their lives.

In the Zhou family's situation at that time, the [Zhu Yuan Fruit Tree] was extremely important to the family. Therefore, even though Zhou Chun, Zhou Mingde and others knew that it was very dangerous to go deep into the Thunder Lizard Island to seize the [Zhu Yuan Fruit Tree], they had no choice but to take the risk to do it.

But now, neither the demon cores of the two third-level thunder dragon lizards nor the thunder lizard eggs on the island are something that the Zhou family must obtain.

It is understandable that Zhou Chun does not want to take the risk himself.

The best way is to let the Purple Mansion Stage cultivators take the risk. If they succeed, that would be great, but if they fail, at most they would just lose a few Purple Mansion Stage cultivators!
However, every Purple Mansion Stage cultivator in the Zhou family was hard-earned, and they were also Zhou Chun's relatives and friends. He couldn't send these people to risk their lives just for two Thunder Dragon Lizard Demon Pills!
Therefore, after thinking about the matter of Thunder Lizard Island in his mind, he suppressed this dangerous idea and didn't think about it anymore.

And just three months after Mu Mei woke up, news came from the market that Xu Fu had successfully opened up the Purple Mansion and came out of seclusion.

When Zhou Chun learned about this, he immediately sent someone to summon him.

Xu Fu seemed to have anticipated that Zhou Chun would summon him. Without any delay, he immediately followed the person who summoned him to Tuyunling.

When he saw Zhou Chun in the cave, he immediately bowed and said, "I am Xu Fu, paying my respects to the clan leader."

"No need to be polite. I heard that you successfully opened up the Purple Mansion, and I am very happy. You won't blame me for not going to the market to congratulate you in person, right?"

Zhou Chun waved his hand and said lightly with a smile on his face.

Hearing his words, Xu Fu hurriedly responded respectfully: "I dare not! Chief, you are the Golden Elixir Master, and it is only right for me to come and pay my respects to you. How dare I trouble you to come in person!"

"Come on, come on, sit down first, let's have a good chat today."

Zhou Chun changed the subject and suddenly waved to Xu Fu, and a stool flew to his side.

But Xu Fu didn't dare to sit down, he just whispered: "I dare not, I will just stand!"

"Just sit down if I tell you to. Are you afraid that I will eat you?"

Zhou Chun looked at him unhappily and said.

This time Xu Fu did not dare to refuse anymore, and quickly responded: "I obey your command, thank you for the seat."

Then I dared to sit down half of my butt.

Looking at Xu Fu who was sitting with his back slightly bent, Zhou Chun quickly said, "Come to think of it, Xu Fu, you have been in the Zhou family for more than a hundred years."

Hearing his question, Xu Fu hurriedly replied respectfully: "To answer the clan leader, it is like this. I have been in the Zhou family for nearly 170 years!"

"Yes, one hundred and seventy years, that's not a short time. You are an elder of the Zhou family now. I still remember that you were only a teenager back then!"

Zhou Chun nodded slightly and spoke of what happened back then with some emotion.

Xu Fu was a clever man. When he heard what he said, he immediately flattered him: "You are absolutely right, Patriarch. I was only a teenager at that time, and the 'turbid evil spirit' was deeply rooted in my body. If you hadn't come to my rescue, I wouldn't have been able to open up the Purple Mansion, let alone pass the foundation building stage. I'm afraid I would have turned into dry bones in the grave by now!"

After that, he looked at Zhou Chun with gratitude and said, "I will always be grateful for the kindness that the clan leader has shown me, and I will never forget it!"

Hearing his words, Zhou Chun's expression suddenly became slightly unnatural and his eyes twitched a few times.

Zhou Chun couldn't remember how many times he had said these words of loyalty.

Today is the first time I heard someone say this to me, and it sounds a bit awkward.

Especially since he summoned Xu Fu here today, it can be said that he had some bad intentions!

But he was a Jindan-stage cultivator after all, and that little bit of awkwardness and some guilt in his conscience were soon overwhelmed by a greater sense of responsibility.

For his own safety and for the sake of all the Zhou family members, there are things that he must do.

It is extremely irresponsible to gamble one's conscience with the life and safety of oneself and the entire family!
He looked at Xu Fu calmly and said, "I saved you back then because I couldn't bear to see your good aptitude go to waste. I also wanted you to be able to do something for the Zhou family after you grow up."

"Now it seems that my good intention back then was the right thing to do. You have lived up to my expectations and have stood out from many of your peers to where you are today."

After he finished speaking, Xu Fu didn't know how to respond for a moment.

After a long silence, he replied respectfully: "I am where I am today thanks to the cultivation of the clan leader and the family. I will never redeem the kindness the clan leader has shown me in my lifetime!"

Zhou Chun did not respond to his words, but changed the subject and said: "If I remember correctly, Xu Fu, you are practicing the "Xunfeng Jue", this method is moderate and peaceful, although the speed of improving mana is not as fast as the "Ningyuan Gong" and other methods, but the mana cultivated is still solid. And as a simplified method of the top-level method "Xunfeng Zhenjing", if you can successfully form a pill with this method in the future, you will have a chance to switch to the top-level method "Xunfeng Zhenjing"!"

Having said this, he looked at Xu Fu with a deep gaze and asked, "Now that you have successfully opened up the Purple Palace, have you ever thought about forming a pill in the future?"

This question is quite sharp.

After hearing this, Xu Fu was stunned on the spot.

He glanced at Zhou Chun with a puzzled look, then quickly lowered his eyes and said cautiously: "I don't dare to think too much. I am already satisfied that I can successfully open up the Purple Mansion. The matter of forming a pill is illusory, so I dare not be too ambitious!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately shook his head and said, "You don't have to be so reserved. Since cultivators like me have embarked on the path of cultivation, who wouldn't want to successfully form a pill or a baby?"

At this point, he smiled faintly and said, "After building the foundation, one wants to open up the purple mansion, after opening up the purple mansion, one wants to form a pill, and after forming a pill, one wants to form an infant. This is all human nature, there is nothing wrong with it!"

When Xu Fu heard his words, his expression changed, but after some hesitation, he said nothing and just remained silent.

Seeing that he remained silent, Zhou Chun stopped keeping him in suspense and looked at him directly and said, "Xu Fu, you are probably very clear about the situation of the Zhou family. After hundreds of years of continuous decline, it has finally been revived and rebuilt in my hands. I and all the elders and clansmen of the Zhou family will never allow anyone to destroy this hard-won good situation!" "And the interests of the wilderness are an important part of maintaining the current prosperity of the Zhou family, and we must not allow any loss!"

When Zhou Chun said this, he also stared at Xu Fu deeply and said, "Do you understand what I mean?"

How could Xu Fu not understand!
He understands Zhou Chun's meaning so well!

He immediately stood up, bowed deeply to Zhou Chun and said, "I understand. I have already sworn that I will never reveal the information about the wilderness to anyone. I have kept my mouth shut all these years!"

"Well, I naturally believe this."

Zhou Chun nodded in agreement.

But before Xu Fu could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard him say in a deep voice: "This is just about the fate of all the cultivators in the clan. If you only rely on your personal oath, both this seat and other elders in the clan will be worried and dare not give others a handle!"

Hearing his words, Xu Fu's expression suddenly changed.

He looked up with a changed expression and stared at him for a while before taking a deep breath and saying, "Then what should I do to reassure the clan leader and the supreme elders?"

This is what Zhou Chun was waiting for.

He looked at him with a serious face and said, "After I successfully formed the elixir, I practiced a secret technique that can plant a 'soul seed' in a person's sea of ​​consciousness. If I don't help stabilize the soul seed for a period of time, or if I do something to detonate it, the 'soul seed' will explode and annihilate the host's soul!"

After saying that, as if she was afraid that he might think the wrong thing, she immediately went on to comfort him, "But don't worry, the 'Soul Seed' itself is harmless before it explodes. It won't affect your cultivation, and it won't be detonated by any external force, unless someone wants to destroy it by force!"

But despite his comfort, Xu Fu still looked very ugly.

This is not surprising. After all, according to Zhou Chun, once you accept the "soul seed", it means that your life and death are in your own hands. It is difficult for any cultivator to accept this.

Not to mention that Xu Fu had just successfully opened up the Purple Mansion and was in high spirits.

But no matter how reluctant he was in his heart, he knew that since Zhou Chun brought up this matter, he had actually made up his mind.

Therefore, he didn't dare to say the words of direct refusal.

He could only grit his teeth, looked up at Zhou Chun and asked, "I would like to ask the clan leader, once the 'Soul Seed' is planted, how long will it take for the clan leader to help stabilize it? If I fail to find the clan leader in time to help stabilize it, I will definitely die!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately replied with confidence: "Don't worry about this. With my current spiritual power, once the 'Soul Seed' is planted, there will be no problems for at least fifty years. You only need to ask me to stabilize it every twenty or thirty years!"

"And even if I'm traveling outside and can't come back due to other things, you can ask Elder Lin to help you temporarily dissolve the 'Soul Seed'. I will leave the method to her!"

He obviously took all aspects into consideration.

Therefore, Xu Fu had nothing to say, and could only nod helplessly and said: "In this case, I will obey your orders!"

There was reluctance in his words.

But Zhou Chun naturally ignored his little emotion.

He then asked Xu Fu to sit cross-legged in front of him, relax his mind and cooperate with him in casting the spell.

In less than half a day, Zhou Chun had planted the "soul seed" into Xu Fu's purple palace sea of ​​consciousness.

Once the "soul seed" was planted, Xu Fu became one of our own in the true sense.

Therefore, Zhou Chun quickly started giving sweet dates.

He looked directly at Xu Fu and said, "Xu Fu, since you have successfully opened up the Purple Palace, you can now practice the third level of the Secret of Dragon Transformation. I will teach you this skill and prepare the relevant dragon spirit blood for you immediately."

"Also, you have just opened up your Purple Palace, so I guess you don't have any magic weapon that suits you. Although this [Fierce Wind Flag] is only a third-level medium-quality magic weapon, its properties are very compatible with you, so I give it to you for self-defense."

"And if you want to practice other secret techniques, you can also go to the third floor of the library to have a look. There are also some good secret techniques there that are more in line with the attributes of your own skills!"

As Zhou Chun spoke, he took out the secret jade slips and magic tools and handed them to Xu Fu. It was obvious that he had been prepared.

Although Xu Fu also knew this, it did not prevent him from feeling happy about obtaining the secret techniques and magic weapons.

You should know that he had almost emptied out all his wealth in order to exchange for spiritual objects to assist in the development of the Purple Mansion.

If he didn't have the magical weapon [Fierce Wind Flag] bestowed by Zhou Chun, he would have to struggle for at least another ten years to buy a third-level lower-grade magical weapon, let alone a third-level mid-grade magical weapon.

Moreover, the third level of "The Secret of Transforming into a Dragon" is indeed the secret technique that can increase his strength the fastest.

"Thank you, Chieftain, for the treasure. I am very grateful for your kindness!"

He took the secret jade slip and magic weapon, bowed with a grateful tone to express his thanks.

Zhou Chun nodded slightly, accepting his thanks.

Then he looked at him and asked, "What are your plans for the future? Will you continue to stay in the Demon Extermination Team as deputy commander, or will you come back to serve the family?"

Hearing this question, Xu Fu answered without thinking: "I will follow the arrangements of the clan leader and the family. Wherever the clan leader tells me to go, I will go there!"

Zhou Chun was obviously very satisfied with this answer, and he immediately said with a smile: "Then come back and serve the family. The Demon Slayer Team is now a place for the elderly, which is not conducive to the struggle of young people like you."

Such fierce words came out of his mouth so naturally.

After Xu Fu heard this, he did not seem to have any objection, and quickly responded respectfully: "I obey your command."

Seeing that he agreed, Zhou Chun quickly let him leave.

According to Zhou Chun's idea, it would be better for Xu Fu to develop in the wilderness next.

Firstly, he is very familiar with the place, and secondly, it can minimize the chance of him leaking information.

Moreover, the Zhou family will further increase its efforts to develop the wilderness, and more skilled players will be needed.

Time flies, and half a year has passed quickly.

On this day, a burst of joyful laughter suddenly rang out from Zhou Chun's training room in his cave.

However, after years of hard practice, Zhou Chun finally cultivated the third level of "Heart Lotus Dharma".

When he was in the late Purple Mansion stage, he had already mastered the second level of "The True Method of the Heart Lotus". However, the third level required the Golden Core stage to be successfully practiced, so it was delayed until today.

After successfully practicing the third level of "The True Method of the Heart Lotus", a golden soul lotus was directly derived from his purple palace sea of ​​consciousness, wrapping a golden elixir inside it.

This golden soul lotus is condensed from the power of his soul, and it has a strong defensive effect against any attack on his soul.

Under the protection of this golden soul lotus, no matter whether it is the spiritual attack power or the soul-capturing power, as long as the caster's cultivation is not much higher than his, it is difficult to directly harm his soul, giving him a sense of "invulnerability to all methods".

Moreover, while Zhou Chun was practicing the third level of "The True Method of the Heart Lotus", he was also about to practice the second level of "The Great Method of Slaying Gods".

By then, he will unleash two "God-Slaying Swords" at once, and even a Jindan-stage cultivator will suffer a great loss if caught off guard!

Feeling happy at this moment, Zhou Chun came out of the cave and brewed a pot of royal jelly flower tea and started drinking it directly under the purple mulberry tree.

He had already consumed most of the [Bi Bo Xixin Tea] that he had obtained earlier, which improved his spiritual awareness by about 3 or 4 percent. Drinking it later would have no effect.

He planned to give the remaining spiritual tea to Luo Qingni as a reward when he asked her for help in refining the elixir later. It could be considered as a gift from her.

However, just after Zhou Chun drank half a pot of royal jelly flower tea, a communication talisman suddenly flew into his hand. The person who sent the message was Zhou Xinyi, who was handling family affairs on his behalf.

"Oh, so is the 'Heavenly Spirit Secret Realm' going to open again?"

His eyes narrowed slightly, and Zhou Chun was also moved by the message from Zhou Xinyi.

If we count Zhou Chun's life experiences in detail, it is not difficult to find that his personal rise began after he returned from participating in the "Tianling Secret Realm".

Back then in the "Tianling Secret Realm", he killed everyone by himself and obtained many good spiritual creatures, including the ancestors of the current Zhou family's group of fragrant musk deer.

Now, after nearly two hundred years, the "Tianling Secret Realm" has been opened again. How could Zhou Chun not take it seriously?

Even with his current level of cultivation, there should be nothing in there that can be of use to him.

But he did not forget that there was also a rare fruit called the Soul Heart Fruit, as well as a special monster called the Green-faced Ghost Ape.

If he could bring out a few [Soul Heart Fruits], Zhou Chun could go to the Great Zhou Kingdom to exchange them for some rare materials. Maybe he could ask someone to refine the kind of elixir that can help open up the Purple Mansion!
"It's strange. The family has collected a lot of treasures over the years, but it seems that the only piece of [Order of the Heavenly Spirit] I got back then is still there!"

Zhou Chun frowned, feeling a little troubled.

He was not particularly familiar with the strength of the Qi Refining cultivators of the Zhou family today, and wondered if anyone could possess the strength he had back then.

If he didn't have the strength to surpass everyone else, it wouldn't be so easy to get the [Soul Heart Fruit] from the protection of the Green-faced Ghost Ape.

But he soon seemed to remember something, and couldn't help but pat his forehead and said, "Hmm, I almost forgot about her. With her current poison skills, unless there is an antidote prepared in advance, even a foundation-building cultivator or a second-level monster has the possibility of being defeated by her!"
