Chapter 506: One Joy and One Sadness [Subscribe]

At Zhou Chun's instruction, the Zhou family immediately dispatched the foundation-building cultivator Zhou Xinyan to bring Zhou Yuanlian and the [Tianling Order] to the ruins of the Tianling Gate in Lingzhou.

At that time, Zhou Chun killed a lot of people in the "Tianling Secret Realm" and obtained some maps there. He also recorded his own experience in full.

This time Zhou Yuanlian entered it much more smoothly than when he was completely in the dark at the beginning.

What's more, Zhou Chun brought her many magic talismans before she entered, and told her not to worry about the "turbid evil energy" entering her body. If she encountered danger, she could boldly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to refine it and restore her magic power. After she came back, he would naturally use spiritual objects to help her get rid of the evil energy.

With these things and the promise, she has now reached the tenth level of Qi Refining Stage. If she still cannot bring back the [Soul Heart Fruit], then Zhou Chun will have to consider whether to continue to put a lot of effort into cultivating her.

After Zhou Yuanlian followed Zhou Xinyan on the Blue Feather Fire Kite to the ruins of Tianlingmen, they found a place to rest temporarily, just like when Zhou Daoyi brought Zhou Chun here.

However, compared to Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Chun who were ignored back then, after recognizing that they were from the Beast Taming Zhou family, many Foundation Establishment cultivators who brought their juniors with them took the initiative to talk to Zhou Xinyan.

Some people even hinted that the younger generations of the two families should stop and show mercy when they meet each other.

Zhou Xinyan certainly didn't take these people's hints to heart. The rules in the secret realm encouraged competition and fighting. By killing the opponent, one could obtain all the treasures on the opponent's body without having to worry about any accountability or retaliation.

In this case, stopping at that point is a joke!
But he certainly would not reject these people's goodwill. He just gave some ambiguous answers with a smile.

After waiting for a few days, the entrance vortex of the "Tianling Secret Realm" opened automatically, sending Zhou Yuanlian and others inside.

I don’t know if it’s influenced by the practice I’ve been doing, but Zhou Yuanlian, who used to like white, blue and light yellow clothes, now mostly wears black and dark green clothes.

And because the vestments she wears need to be highly corrosion-resistant, she now has very few clothes to change into.

At this time, she was wearing a dark green tights and as soon as she entered the "Tianling Secret Realm", she appeared in a forest.

This is the last multiplayer trial site. The previous levels were not that difficult for her and she could force her way through them using magic talismans.

Before she could see the surroundings clearly, a strange noise suddenly came from the grass, and then a flat-headed spotted venomous snake jumped out of the grass and bit her directly in the face.

Unfortunately, this snake chose the wrong target today.

Zhou Yuanlian simply stretched out his hand and easily grabbed the poisonous snake's body.

As the venomous snake was captured, it immediately turned around and bit her wrist.

But what confused and frightened the poisonous snake was that, although it had clearly hit its target with its fierce bite and injected its venom, the prey seemed to feel no pain at all, and the palms that were holding its body did not loosen at all, and did not even shake!
Hey~
Zhou Yuanlian let out a slight moan, and her face showed no sign of pain from being bitten. Instead, she seemed to be enjoying it.

She grabbed the snake's head with her other hand and squeezed it slightly, as if she wanted to squeeze out all the venom in the snake's body and inject it into her own body!
This poisonous snake lived its entire life, but it probably never imagined until its death that one day it would die from the depletion of its venom!

pat!

With a slight sound coming from the ground, the dead body of the venomous snake was thrown into the grass by Zhou Yuanlian, just like throwing away garbage.

She simply brought the bitten and bleeding wrist to her mouth and licked it a few times, and the wound healed quickly. Then she walked away quickly with a happy look on her face.

Not long after, in a rotten swamp, a black-green poisonous lizard that lived there was killed in the water by Zhou Yuanlian using a poisonous sword magic weapon.

Then the first thing she did was to go forward and take out the poison sac of the poisonous lizard monster, and put it carefully into the storage bag. Then she collected some poisonous herbs guarded by the poisonous lizard monster and put them in her storage bag.

Practicing "The Book of Ten Thousand Poisons" is not an easy task. In addition to enduring inhuman torture and the danger of death from poison at any time, you also need to collect many poisons to prepare the poison water for practice.

Currently with the support of the Zhou family, Zhou Yuanlian's cultivation is going smoothly.

But based on what she had learned over the years, after she successfully built her foundation, apart from some precious poisonous herbs and spiritual objects that Zhou Chun had left for her, it would be difficult for the Zhou family to provide her with enough poisonous herbs and spiritual objects.

At that time, she will need to travel around by herself, collecting the venom of various poisonous monsters, and collecting various poisonous minerals and poisonous plants.

This trip to the "Tianling Secret Realm" is undoubtedly a rare opportunity for her.

Many of the poisonous plants and poisonous substances that grow here are rare species in the outside world. It would be helpful for her future practice if she could take away as many of them as possible and store them.

Not long after, Zhou Yuanlian killed another cultivator who had entered the secret realm in a mountain stream and took all the items on his body.

At this time, she already knew where she was in the secret realm, and was approaching the place where the [Soul Heart Fruit] tree was.

But when she arrived near the Soul Heart Fruit tree, she found that someone seemed to have got there first, and the sound of fierce fighting could be heard.

After discovering this, her expression suddenly changed.

"The Soul Heart Fruit must not be lost. Anyone who stands in my way must die!"

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and Zhou Yuanlian suddenly felt murderous intent in his heart.

She used to be a kind-hearted girl from an ordinary family, but the tragic experiences she experienced afterwards caused her kindness to be ruthlessly trampled and crushed by reality.

And her more than ten years of cultivation career has given her a deep understanding of the cruelty of the world of cultivation.

Coupled with the influence of practicing "The Book of Ten Thousand Poisons", she had unknowingly become a person who disregarded life.

Now, she only wants to become stronger, only wants to have powerful strength, and then hunt down those who practice magic skills and eliminate all magic practitioners!
Anyone who stands in her way of revenge is her enemy!

In the valley where the Green-faced Ghost Apes lived, a middle-aged man and woman who seemed to be a couple were fighting fiercely with more than a dozen Green-faced Ghost Apes. Several Green-faced Ghost Apes' corpses were already lying on the ground.

Seeing how these two men were at ease, it was obvious that they did not take the dozen or so green-faced ghost apes seriously and were determined to get the [Soul Heart Fruit] on the tree!

"Sister Shuang, help me fend off the close-range attacks of these beasts while I prepare for that move!"

Suddenly, the man in the couple shouted loudly, as if he had made a decision.

After hearing this, the woman immediately responded loudly: "Okay, Brother Xiong, just go ahead and cast the spell!"

As she spoke, she raised her hand and slapped the storage bag on her waist. A shield magic weapon that seemed to be made of ice was summoned by her and flew around the man.

A green-faced ghost ape tried to attack the man at close range, but was quickly repelled by the ice shield. The claws that attacked the ice shield were covered with a layer of white frost, and it was shivering with cold and howling.

The man, protected by his Taoist partner, held a fiery red gem in his hand, muttered something, and cast some powerful spell.

But neither the man and his wife nor the green-faced ghost apes noticed that there was suddenly a stench like that of rotting animals in the valley.

Perhaps it’s not that they didn’t notice it, but it’s normal for such a smell to appear near the lair of such a monster and it’s not easy to attract attention.

As the man made hand gestures and chanted a spell, a fiery red light was released from the orb in his hand and gathered in the sky to form a fire cloud.

After more than ten breaths had passed, he suddenly shouted and raised his hand to point at those green-faced ghost apes.

Suddenly, fireballs flew down from the fire cloud and bombarded the green-faced ghost apes like cannonballs.

Boom boom boom!
There were bursts of explosions and roars, and the valley was filled with raging flames.

However, the places where those fireballs exploded intentionally avoided the location of the [Soul Heart Fruit] tree.

The group of green-faced ghost apes suffered heavy casualties under such an attack. Five of them were killed on the spot, and most of the rest were injured.

However, the man didn't seem to be having a good time either. After casting the spell, his body swayed and he almost couldn't stand.

Obviously, the powerful spell just now had drained all the magic power in his body, and he was no longer able to fight.

Fortunately, with the protection of his Taoist partner, he did not have to worry about being retaliated by those green-faced ghost apes.

"It's strange. Although the Fire Cloud Secret Art drained a lot of my mana in the past, it didn't make me as weak as it is now..."

The man muttered to himself, and reached for the storage bag on his waist. He took out the "Huiyuan Pill" that could restore his magic power and swallowed it.

While the man was refining the elixir to restore his magic power, his Taoist partner took advantage of the situation and picked several ripe spiritual fruits from the Soul Heart Fruit tree, then took him straight out of the valley.

However, how could the group of green-faced ghost apes, which had suffered heavy casualties, give up? They directly launched a fierce attack around the two of them, trying to keep them.

After fighting fiercely for a while, the man suddenly staggered and fell to the ground.

"Brother Xiong..."

The woman's face changed drastically and she rushed forward to protect the man.

But at this time, several green-faced ghost apes simultaneously launched the "crying soul" magical power, which instantly made her expression freeze.

A green-faced ghost ape took the opportunity to quickly pass by the man on the ground and directly took off his head!

When the woman regained consciousness and saw the bloody scene, her eyes immediately turned red and she screamed hysterically, "Ah, you damned beasts, I want you to die, all of you, die!"

Then he frantically used his magic weapon to attack those green-faced ghost apes.

But not long after, she suddenly felt dizzy and chest tightness, as if she couldn't breathe.

"This is... No, I'm poisoned! Brother Xiong was poisoned to death!"

The woman used her magical powers to try to suppress the discomfort in her body. At the same time, she looked around with anger in her eyes, trying to find the person who poisoned her.

At this time, the green-faced ghost apes also showed symptoms of poisoning and stopped attacking the woman.

Upon seeing this, the woman immediately became excited and shouted angrily at the surrounding forests, "Who is poisoning people? Get out now!"

"If you don't get out of here soon, I'm going to destroy the storage bag and none of us will be able to have a good life!"

As he said this, he reached out to take off the storage bag from his waist.

Obviously, she also knew that the person who secretly poisoned people would definitely not let him destroy a treasure like the [Soul Heart Fruit].

But she seemed to have underestimated the severity of the poison and overestimated her own abilities.

Just when her palm touched the storage bag, she suddenly felt a black screen in front of her eyes and she fell to the ground.

"You are such a fool! If you hadn't yelled, you might not have been poisoned so quickly, but you kept yelling..."

In the valley, Zhou Yuanlian slowly walked out of the forest where he had been hiding, holding an incense burner in his hand. The poison was released by the burning of the incense burner, which was also a poison cultivation tool.

When she appeared, she raised her hand and swung a black poisonous needle weapon, which hit the forehead of the woman on the ground.

Only after seeing the black poison needle piercing her forehead did Zhou Yuanlian feel at ease and walked forward to take her storage bag.

Then he turned and looked at those green-faced ghost apes.

As monsters, the Green-Faced Ghost Apes are much more resistant to toxins, but most of them have been injured. After inhaling a large amount of poisonous smoke, they are already staggering when walking and can no longer pose a threat to Zhou Yuanlian.

"The tribe leader asked me to take a few green-faced ghost apes back to leave offspring, but I only brought four spirit beast bags. Which ones should I take?"

After looking at the green-faced ghost apes like lambs to be slaughtered and hesitating for a while, Zhou Yuanlian made a decision.

She selected four green-faced ghost apes that looked full of life from the surviving ones in the valley, and put them into the storage bag. The monkeys were three females and one male.

These powerful drugs, which she prepared using her own poison skills, were enough to make several green-faced ghost apes drowsy and unable to wake up for half a month.

She did not kill the remaining green-faced ghost apes, but instead helped treat their external injuries.

The [Soul Heart Fruit] tree cannot be transplanted at all, and this tree still needs the care of the Green-faced Ghost Ape, so destroying the Green-faced Ghost Ape group is a practice of killing the chicken to get the eggs.

After dealing with everything in this way, Zhou Yuanlian quickly left the Ghost Ape Valley.

In the following time, Zhou Yuanlian relied on his strange and hard-to-defend against poison skills and tricks to thrive in the secret realm. He collected seven [Orders of the Heavenly Spirit] without much effort and gained a lot.

But she was not too greedy and did not actively hunt those trial-takers. Most of the time, she wandered around the secret realm, collecting the spiritual resources there.

When she was about to leave, she successfully gained the qualification to enter the tower with seven [Orders of the Heavenly Spirit].

In the subsequent process of breaking the shield and taking the treasure, she pushed her poison power to the maximum, and with the help of several magic weapons, it took only a dozen breaths to break the shield and obtain a jade box.

Zhou Yuanlian's luck seems to be better than Zhou Chun's at the beginning.

Inside the jade box she obtained, there was actually a jade slip containing a rare poison recipe. If it was prepared, it could even poison a Purple Mansion Stage cultivator!

After leaving the secret realm, Zhou Yuanlian did not elaborate on what he had gained in the secret realm, but only asked Zhou Xinyan to take her back to the family as soon as possible.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Xinyan did not ask any further questions and directly released the Blue-Feathered Fire Kite to take her back to Tuyun Ridge.

"Patriarch, I have fulfilled my mission and brought back the Soul Heart Fruit and the Green-Faced Ghost Ape!"

In Zhou Chun's cave, Zhou Yuanlian, who had just returned from the trial in the "Tianling Secret Realm", respectfully took out his gains and presented them to Zhou Chun.

Because she practiced poison skills, she was somewhat of an oddball in the Zhou family. Many Zhou family cultivators did not dare to deal with her, which also made her lack respect for many Zhou family elders.

But in front of Zhou Chun, she didn't dare to show any disrespect.

Firstly, it was Zhou Chun who gave her the power she has today, and secondly, she is naturally in awe of the power that Zhou Chun possesses!
"Only two [Soul Heart Fruits]?"

Looking at the spiritual fruit presented by Zhou Yuanlian, Zhou Chun couldn't help but frown.

When he picked the Soul Heart Fruit that year, there were still two unripe fruits on the tree, so he did not pick them.

I didn't expect that after so many years, I only got these two [Soul Heart Fruits].

After hearing his words, Zhou Yuanlian hurriedly explained: "There are still four [Soul Heart Fruits] on the tree that have not yet matured, so I followed your instructions and did not touch them!"

"Don't panic. I don't mean to blame you."

Zhou Chun said something to comfort her and let the girl go first.

Afterwards, he kept the two [Soul Heart Fruits] and handed the four green-faced ghost apes to Zhou Xinyi, asking him to arrange for someone to send them to a secret place to raise them.

The Green-Faced Ghost Ape can only live in evil places, and it is impossible for the Zhou Family Mountain Gate to raise this beast.

However, with the current power of the Zhou family, it is normal for them to occupy several special places and open up villas to raise some monsters that have special requirements for the environment.

After Zhou Yuanlian retreated, he went to see Zhou Xinyi again and donated most of the spiritual medicines he had obtained in the "Tianling Secret Realm" to his family in exchange for good deeds for the family.

If she wanted to practice poison skills, she had to collect various poisons, but collecting them by herself was obviously too slow.

Therefore, most of the good deeds she earned over the years were used to collect those poisons through tasks issued by the family.

This is a difference between her and ordinary cultivators.

Relatively speaking, she does not need to take any elixirs to improve her magic power, but can absorb the power of poison through medicinal baths to speed up her cultivation.

So her money would be spent on collecting poisons.

Time flies, and another year has passed in the blink of an eye.

At this time, Su Yuzhen, who had started seclusion later than Zhou Mingde, had reached the critical period of forming the elixir.

When Zhou Chun got the news, he immediately went to the Su family in Jiangzhou and transferred part of his own vital energy to her using the secret technique of dual cultivation taught by the ancestor of the Su family, so that she could transform this part of pure golden elixir energy into nourishing her own strength through the method in "Su Nu Xuan Gong".

After transferring his vital energy, Zhou Chun didn't dare to disturb Su Yuzhen any longer. He hurriedly left the secret room and took some medicine to restore his energy.

However, the loss of his own vital energy this time was quite huge. Even though Zhou Chun took the elixir provided by the ancestor of the Su family, he still felt a little weak.

So he could only return to the Tuyunling cave to meditate in seclusion to recover his lost vitality.

After more than a year passed, good news came from the Su family: Su Yuzhen succeeded in forming the elixir!

When hearing the news, Zhou Chun also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he had great confidence in Su Yuzhen from the very beginning, he couldn't completely let go until the final results came out.

Now that the results are out, I can naturally put my mind at ease.

Su Yuzhen's success in forming a golden elixir not only made the Jiangzhou Su family more prestigious, but also gave the family two golden elixir-stage cultivators.

It is also a happy event for the Zhou family.

After all, she was Zhou Chun's legally married partner, and was half a member of the Zhou family.

Now that she and Zhou Chun have both formed the golden elixir, it will surely become another good story in Jingguo.

It was also because Zhou Mingde was still in seclusion to form the elixir, otherwise he would have happily pulled Zhou Chun aside to discuss how to send gifts to congratulate him.

However, Su Yuzhen is not Zhou Chun, and he does not have rare and precious spiritual objects such as the [Five Elements Spirit Fruit] to quickly consolidate his cultivation.

After she succeeds in forming the elixir, she will need to continue practicing in seclusion for a few years before she can come out to receive guests.

Therefore, after Zhou Chun received the news, he did not rush to the Su family to see her immediately, but just asked someone to send a letter to congratulate her first.

At this time, Zhou Chun's mind was on Zhou Mingde.

Counting on his fingers, Zhou Mingde has been in seclusion for seven or eight years to form the elixir.

Because of Zhou Mingde's practice, it took him much longer to condense the "Xu Dan" than Zhou Chun and other cultivators who practiced top-level techniques, and in the end, he could not catch up with them in terms of the limit of refining the "Xu Dan".

But seven or eight years should be enough for him to complete this step.

If nothing unexpected happens, the results will be revealed in the next one or two years.

At this critical moment, Zhou Chun did not dare to leave the family. His original plan to go to the Great Zhou Kingdom to find Luo Qingni to make elixirs and collect the [Taiyi Xuanjin Qi] had to be postponed temporarily.

However, before Zhou Chun could wait for the results of Zhou Mingde's Jindan to appear, he first waited for the death of the last cultivator of the Zhou family with the word "Jia" in his family.

"I'm still a little unwilling! If only I could wait for the results of the Grand Elder's Dan Formation to appear, and see him succeed before leaving!"

Inside his own cave, facing Zhou Chun who came to see him off for the last time, Zhou Jiapeng, who was already at the end of his life, expressed his regrets with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.

Hearing what he said, Zhou Chun felt sorry for him from the bottom of his heart.

But now that things have come to this, I can only comfort him: "Uncle Peng, don't worry, the Grand Elder will definitely succeed in forming the elixir!"

After that, he looked at him and asked, "Uncle Peng, do you have any other last words to say?"

After hearing this, Zhou Jiapeng hesitated for a moment before speaking in a low voice, "I have explained everything that needs to be explained to those young people. If there is anything else that I am worried about, it is the golden-winged iron-feathered eagle. It has accompanied me throughout my life and has accompanied me in battles for more than 200 years. I have already regarded it as my own family. I hope that it can die of old age and be buried next to my tomb in the future!"

According to the Zhou family tradition, before a Zhou family cultivator passes away, he or she will release their contracted spiritual pet into the wild. If the spiritual pet does not want to go into the wild, it can be given to the younger generation or family members to adopt.

Zhou Jiapeng had previously terminated the contract with the golden-winged iron-feathered eagle, but eagle monsters are very loyal, and the golden-winged iron-feathered eagle was unwilling to leave and was willing to continue to protect his descendants.

But the golden-winged iron-feathered eagle is now a second-rank top-grade monster, which is considered a very good combat force, while there is currently no foundation-building cultivator among Zhou Jiapeng's descendants.

Without a foundation-building cultivator, even if the Golden-Winged Iron-Feathered Eagle is willing to protect his descendants, I am afraid that his descendants will find it difficult to command this demon bird, and in the end the family will have to intervene.

But the Zhou family doesn’t keep idle monsters!

Therefore, when Zhou Chun heard Zhou Jiapeng's words, he understood his inner worries.

He looked at him solemnly and promised, "If this is the case, Uncle Peng, you can rest assured. I can assure you that unless you encounter a crisis of genocide, I will never let your golden-winged iron-feathered eagle go out to fight against powerful enemies. Let it live out the rest of its life in the Zhou family!"

After receiving his promise, Zhou Jiapeng immediately showed a touch of excitement, and couldn't help but cheered: "Great, great, great, this way I will really die without regrets!!"

Soon after he finished speaking, he passed away peacefully with a smile on his face.

With the passing of Zhou Jiapeng, the "Jia" generation of the Zhou family completely disappeared, and later generations could only see their names in the family tree and the tablets in the ancestral temple!
