Chapter 523: Tricked out and killed [Subscribe]

Yan Lingzi wanted to compete in magic power, so Zhou Chun naturally agreed to his wish!
In terms of profound magical powers, Zhou Chun, who had just formed his elixir, was naturally no match for Yan Lingzi.

However, the mana he consumed when controlling two low-grade magic weapons was less than that of the other party, not to mention that he had the assistance of a spiritual pet.

Just wait until Yan Lingzi’s magic power is exhausted, and then use a burst of power to give him a hard blow!
But Qing Weizi seemed to have seen through Zhou Chun's plan. Half an hour after Taoist Yi Yang's persuasion failed, he tried to persuade him again and asked several others to follow suit.

By that time, Yan Lingzi could no longer conceal his defeat, and he felt he was in a difficult situation.

After being persuaded by Qing Weizi and a group of fellow disciples, he finally walked down the stairs and took the initiative to admit defeat.

This made Zhou Chun quite regretful.

"The third match, the Zhou family won. The winner of this bet is the Zhou family. The Jiufengling spiritual land will continue to belong to the Zhou family in the future. Qinglian Temple is not allowed to forcibly take this land back for any reason!"

Taoist Baiyue glanced at Yan Lingzi who admitted defeat and returned to the team, then his eyes fell on Taoist Yi Yang, and he announced the result of the gambling in a serious tone.

Taoist Yi Yang and others were naturally dissatisfied with this result, but they did not dare to say anything more.

At that moment, he could only say with a sullen face: "I understand. Since the gambling fight is over, I will say goodbye to my fellow apprentices. Goodbye!"

After saying this, he bowed perfunctorily to Master Baiyue, then left with the people from Qinglian Temple.

When Zhou Chun saw this, he showed gratitude and bowed to Master Baiyue, saying, "Thank you Master for upholding justice for my Zhou family. I and the entire Zhou family are grateful."

"You are too polite, Mr. Zhou. These are all obtained by your own ability. I dare not take credit for them."

Master Baiyue waved his hand, and then said, "If you are not in a hurry to go back, are you interested in following me back to the main gate of our sect to have a chat?"

"Since the headmaster has invited me, I naturally have no reason not to accept the invitation."

Zhou Chun replied without hesitation and agreed immediately.

So the group immediately went back home and returned to the Yuelun Sect's mountain gate.

After arriving at the mountain gate, Lin Hongyu went to Su Yunniang's cave to look after her Taoist partner Zhou Daoyi, while Zhou Chun followed Baiyue Zhenren to his cave.

As the head of the Moon Wheel Sect, although Baiyue Zhenren's cave is not as good as the caves of the three Nascent Soul stage ancestors, it is also a first-class cave in the Moon Wheel Sect.

This was the first time that Zhou Chun was invited to enter this place. The rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth inside was even better than that of the secret islands he had visited before!
Of course, this is also related to the fact that he has never actually been to the core area of ​​the secret island.

"If I could meditate and practice here all year round, my cultivation speed would probably be more than 10% faster!"

He thought secretly in his heart and was extremely envious.

Increasing the cultivation speed by 10% may not seem like much, but when combined with the lifespan of a Jindan-stage cultivator, it is equivalent to giving a person nearly a hundred years of extra cultivation time out of thin air!

Such a top-notch cave cannot be rented outside no matter how much spiritual coins you spend!
However, there are probably not many such top-level caves in the Yuelun Sect’s mountain gate. At least the cave of Su Yunniang, the Jindan elder, is far inferior to this.

As long as you are willing to spend spirit coins, it is not difficult to rent a cultivation cave comparable to Su Yunniang's cave in Tianyuan Fairy City.

While Zhou Chun was thinking about all this, Master Baiyue had already asked him to sit down.

When he thanked her and sat down, he saw her looking at him with emotion and said, "Young friend Zhou's display of magical powers today really opened my eyes. I didn't expect that in addition to the skill of taming beasts, you also have such magical powers!"

Hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately bowed his hands with a look of shame on his face and said, "Master, you are too kind. How can I, with my limited magical powers, deserve such praise? Everyone in Jingguo knows that Master's magical powers are vast and have the power to rival that of a Nascent Soul!"

Zhou Chun didn't know whether Master Baiyue could match the power of Nascent Soul, but he just boasted about it anyway!
In fact, he probably guessed in his heart why Master Baiyue invited him to the cave to have a chat, and now he just had to wait for the other party to get to the point.

True Master Baiyue did not waste time on him. After opening the conversation, he quickly looked at him and said, "Little friend Zhou, do you know that there is a rule in our sect that any disciple of our sect who obtains a secret technique from outside can present it to the sect. Depending on the quality of the inheritance, he can choose a secret technique of the same level from the sect's Sutra Pavilion to practice, and he can also receive corresponding rewards for his good deeds!"

"This junior really doesn't know."

Zhou Chun replied calmly.

Of course it doesn’t matter whether he knows it or not. What matters is that he knows it now.

Then, Master Baiyue said again: "Today, I watched young friend Zhou fighting with others. His skills and treasures were unique and really made people shine and opened their eyes. Therefore, an elder of our sect suggested that we exchange skills with young friend to see if we can learn from each other and improve ourselves."

"If you are willing, our sect is willing to exchange with you according to the treatment of disciples within the sect."

The so-called exchange is just a nice way of speaking.

Zhou Chun and Master Baiyue knew it clearly.

So Zhou Chun quickly responded: "Since the sect leader is interested in my cultivation method, I am willing to present it to you. However, there is only one instrument that can carry this method, so I can only present the jade slip I copied to you!"

"The jade slip is enough. Young friend Zhou is indeed a man who knows the big picture!"

Master Baiyue responded with a satisfied look on his face and praised Zhou Chun at the same time.

In fact, he didn't care about Zhou Chun's martial arts, because he knew that no matter how powerful the martial arts were, it depended on who was practicing them.

What he cared more about was Zhou Chun's attitude towards the matter.

And now Zhou Chun's attitude undoubtedly makes him very satisfied.

In front of Master Baiyue, Zhou Chun recorded the four cultivation methods in "The Mysterious Art of the Golden Tripod" on a jade slip and handed it to him.

Anyway, the first two chapters of this skill have already been included in Qinglian Temple, and it is estimated that Tianjing Villa also has it, and even Yulingmen has it.

What's the harm in having one more Moon Wheel?
Zhou Chun is not afraid that anyone will target him by studying his cultivation method, because his true strength does not come from his cultivation method or his natal magic weapon.

Anyone who thinks that he can easily deal with him by finding the weaknesses of his martial arts and his life-saving magic weapon will surely fall flat on his face!

Besides, after Master Baiyue took the jade slip, he did not avoid Zhou Chun and directly checked the contents in front of him.

With his cultivation level at the late Jindan stage, it wouldn't take much time for him to just read through it roughly.

After only two quarters of an hour, he put down the jade slip, looked at Zhou Chun with emotion and sighed, "So that's how it is! I didn't expect that the technique that little friend Zhou is practicing is the Tongtian Xuan Gong that few people dared to practice in ancient times! No wonder your magical power looks so sharp!"

Tongtian Xuan Gong?

Zhou Chun was stunned. It was the first time he heard this statement.

He immediately looked at Master Baiyue with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "Excuse me, Master Master, what is Tongtian Xuangong?"

"The so-called Tong Tian Xuan Gong is the name given to some ancient skills by later cultivators like us."

"The 'Golden Tripod Mysterious Art' that Young Master Zhou is practicing is a profound art passed down by some immortals from ancient times. This kind of art does not place much emphasis on spiritual root aptitude, but rather on the practitioner's comprehension and opportunity."

"If one has a good understanding and good luck, practicing this skill will be smooth sailing, and it is often easier to form a pill and transform into an infant, and possess great magical powers!"

"If one's comprehension and luck are ordinary, it is very easy to perish in a disaster when practicing this skill!"

……

Master Baiyue talked eloquently and quickly answered Zhou Chun's doubts.

According to what he said, for any ancient martial arts such as "Tong Tian Xuan Gong", after successfully practicing one chapter or one level, one must go through a life and death catastrophe similar to "breaking the cauldron and recasting it".

If a cultivator can survive this calamity, he will have a smooth journey ahead, and there will be no hidden worries in his cultivation techniques in this realm. If he cannot survive this, he will naturally be reduced to ashes!

The reason why the Dao Cauldron in Zhou Chun's body had to be recast every time he broke through a major realm was because if it was not recast, it would not be able to suppress the various hidden dangers that arose during the practice.

For example, other monks who practice some top-level gold-attributed techniques are often easily affected by the techniques, and their temperaments may become cold and hard, or their bodies may suffer various hidden injuries due to the erosion of gold energy, or even become metallized!

In order to deal with this situation, they can only alleviate it by practicing other secret techniques, or avoid it by taking special pills.

Although Zhou Chun absorbed a large amount of gold energy during the practice, his personal temperament and physical body were not affected by the gold energy. Instead, his physical body was tempered.

This is all because of the suppression of Dao Ding!

"Although this kind of profound skill has great benefits, it also requires a lot of resources. The further you go, the harder it will be to practice."

"Let's take your technique as an example, if you can form an infant in the future, the quality of gold energy required for 'Broken Cauldron and Recasting' is so high that it is hard to find anywhere in the world!"

"Besides, cultivators like me have finally succeeded in breaking the elixir and transforming into an infant, and have finally survived the 'heart demon tribulation' and the thunder tribulation, and have a lifespan of two to three thousand years. Who would be willing to gamble their own life on the success rate of 'breaking the cauldron and recasting it'?"

“So, up to now, almost no cultivator with outstanding aptitude who is willing to form a pill and transform into an infant dares to practice this kind of profound skill!”

When Master Baiyue said this, he couldn't help but shook his head and completely lost interest in the "Golden Tripod Mysterious Art" technique.

But at the same time, he was completely relieved.

Since Zhou Chun is practicing this kind of "Tiantian Xuan Gong", he can forget about reaching the Nascent Soul stage in the future.

Even if Zhou Chun could transform the elixir into an infant later, it would be almost impossible to complete the third "breaking the cauldron and recasting it", and it would not be enough to pose any threat to the Yuelun Sect.

And there was one thing he hadn't explained to Zhou Chun.

For cultivators who practice "Tong Tian Xuan Gong" and form infants, the thunder tribulations they encounter are often more severe than those for other cultivators!

Considering these two points, Zhou Chun's greatest achievement in the future will be at the late stage of Jindan.

As long as he fails to achieve Nascent Soul stage, he will not pose any threat to the Yuelun Sect, and there is no need to be afraid of Zhou Chun and the Zhou family!

Thinking of this, Master Baiyue immediately said to Zhou Chun, "In our sect's Sutra Library, there are several ancient Tongtian Xuan Gong and even some legendary powerful magical cultivation methods. Since little friend Zhou has offered this Jinding Xuan Gong, you can go in and choose any one of them to take away!"

"In addition, I will exempt the Zhou family from paying tribute for the next ten years as a reward for your contribution of skills!"

Hearing his words, Zhou Chun quickly bowed and thanked him: "Thank you very much, Master, for your reward."

Then he took the handwritten letter from Master Baiyue and went straight to the Sutra Library of the Moon Wheel Sect to choose. The person guarding the Sutra Library of the Moon Wheel Sect was also a Moon Wheel Sect Golden Core Elder, who looked very old and didn't have much time left.

After reading the handwriting of Master Baiyue, the man led Zhou Chun to a small quiet room in the library, and then took out dozens of jade slips for Zhou Chun to choose from.

"Only one-third of the skills and magical powers in these jade slips are open for people to read. If Daoist Fellow Zhou chooses one, I will remove the restrictions for you!"

After the old man finished speaking, he closed his eyes and rested.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately checked the jade slips one by one.

The "Xuanqing Heavenly Thunder Jade Book" draws the power of heavenly thunder into the body, condenses the Heavenly Thunder Treasure Scroll, and can control the power of heavenly thunder... Every time a level is successfully cultivated, it is necessary to draw ten times the power of heavenly thunder to condense a new Heavenly Thunder Treasure Scroll...

"Xuan Yang Heavenly Fire Sutra" draws the power of heavenly fire into the body, forming a Heavenly Fire Mysterious Pearl, which can trigger the heavenly fire to burn the enemy... After each successful practice, one must be reborn from the fire and refine the Heavenly Fire Mysterious Pearl again...

The Ancient Wood Longevity Technique, seal yourself in an ancient tree for a hundred years. After a hundred years, if you can merge with the wood and build the foundation for longevity, then you will have achieved success. Each successful level of cultivation can extend your life by 30%... Each level must be re-sealed in the ancient tree...

The first things Zhou Chun looked at were the so-called "Tiantian Xuan Gong". These skills were indeed the same as what Master Baiyue had said. Each one looked extremely powerful and promised the hope of immortality.

But in fact, many of them are even more dangerous and mysterious than his "Golden Tripod Mysterious Art", and they don't seem to be practiced by normal people at all!
If the Zhou family had offered Zhou Chun these skills to choose from, he probably would not have dared to choose them!
Now that he knew the disadvantages of this "Tong Tian Xuan Gong", he naturally would not want to choose such a skill to take away.

So he quickly turned his attention to those magical powers and secret techniques.

These magical powers and secret techniques are indeed methods of cultivating magical powers that only exist in rumors.

For example, "Samadhi True Fire", "Great Sun True Fire", and "Yuan Yang Divine Thunder"...

However, the method of cultivating supernatural powers is easy to obtain, but the door to supernatural powers is difficult to enter!

Zhou Chun had experience in practicing the "Golden Escape Technique" and was well aware of how difficult it was to master these magical powers.

Therefore, he did not put much energy into those rumored methods of cultivating supernatural powers, but only focused on some supernatural powers that he might have a chance to successfully cultivate.

After such a selection, he finally chose a method of practicing the magical power called "Gengjin Likong Lei".

This "Geng Jin Splitting Sky Thunder" is a variant of the "Geng Jin Divine Thunder" among the Five Elements Divine Thunder.

The reason why Zhou Chun took a fancy to it was that after mastering this magical power, he could combine it with some materials to refine it into a thunder bead for future use.

In the previous battle between Zhou Chun and Yan Lingzi, the three "Earthly Evil Fire Thunder Beads" used by the opponent were examples of this kind of magical power.

If Zhou Chun could master this magical power in the future, and refine several lightning beads to suppress them inside his natal magic weapon [Wanhua Jinding], and use them all together when fighting with others, the effect would surely be very good.

"Zhou has chosen this method of cultivating my magical power."

Zhou Chun took the jade slip and handed it to the old man who was guarding the Sutra Library.

Upon seeing this, the old man immediately made hand gestures and shot a beam of spiritual light at the jade slip, removing the restriction on it, then handed it back to him and said, "Okay, Brother Zhou can take it now."

"Thank you, fellow Taoist."

Zhou Chun bowed and quickly left the Sutra Library.

Afterwards, he went to Su Yunniang's cave to visit Zhou Daoyi, and then returned to the family with the two elders.

As the Zhou family members returned home, the news of the Zhou family's victory in the gambling fight with Qinglian Temple quickly spread.

Those monks who heard about this for the first time were all extremely surprised and tried to find out the details.

But because it concerned the reputation of Qinglian Temple, although someone deliberately spread the news, no one was willing to reveal the details.

So those who were curious about the matter gave full play to their imagination and started to make all kinds of speculations.

Including many Zhou family cultivators who had just heard about this matter, there were also various discussions about it.

Zhou Chun ignored these discussions.

After he returned to the family, he held a small meeting with several senior family members.

This meeting mainly discussed three things.

One is how to continue to cover up those strongholds in the wilderness.

The second is when to surround and kill Yu Jinghua.

The third is about Zhou Daoyi's elixir.

During this gambling fight with Qinglian Temple, Zhou Chun was reminded by Master Baiyue and realized that the Zhou family was now too conspicuous.

After Qinglian Temple lost the bet, the attention on the Zhou family will only increase a lot.

Therefore, contact with the wilderness must no longer be so frequent, and at the same time, we must try our best to transfer those who know the situation there, or place them in a safe place.

Nowadays, there are already quite a few Zhou family cultivators who know about the stronghold in the wilderness.

Especially some younger generation foundation-building cultivators, many of them have been there to train.

For this reason, Zhou Chun decided to secretly transfer these people to the wilderness in the name of going out for training, and stay there for ten or twenty years. He would then see whether to transfer them back after the storm had passed.

At that time, they will be announced missing internally, which can also confuse and paralyze those forces that have ill intentions towards the Zhou family.

After discussion, it was decided to carry out the siege and assassination of Yu Jinghua as soon as possible!
At present, Qinglian Temple has just failed. Even if it wants to retaliate against the Zhou family, it is estimated that it will not be implemented so quickly.

The Zhou family can take this opportunity to send all their elite troops to the Great Zhou Kingdom to eliminate the traitor Yu Jinghua.

As for Zhou Daoyi's Dan-forming matter, Zhou Chun had already mentioned the matter of Dan-forming spiritual objects to Master Baiyue, and the other party also promised to provide the Zhou family with a Dan-forming spiritual object [Extreme Yang Fire Spirit Liquid] as soon as possible.

Lin Hongyu also has a portion of [Extremely Cold Ice Marrow Fluid] in her hand.

In this way, you only need to get one more spiritual object that can help to make the elixir, and you can collect a complete set of spiritual objects for making the elixir.

After making the relevant plans, Zhou Chun went to the Great Zhou Kingdom to explore the way, collect intelligence, and formulate a plan to encircle and kill Yu Jinghua.

Zhou Mingde arranged for family members to go to the wilderness in batches according to the plan.

……

Tianyuan Fairy City.

When Zhou Chun returned to this place, he went to the store where Luo Qingni had placed an order as usual to see if the other party had come out.

The result was disappointing, Luo Qingni did not come out.

So he had no choice but to go to Tianzhi Building to find out about Yu Jinghua's latest movements.

The information he learned this time made Zhou Chun quite satisfied.

According to the intelligence, Yu Jinghua has basically returned to his normal life and no longer goes out as frequently as before.

This shows that his vigilance has been lowered a lot and he is no longer suspicious.

Now, the only thing for Zhou Chun is to find a way to lure Yu Jinghua out of the mountain gate of Yulingmen alone, and then gather helpers to surround and kill the opponent together.

He returned to his temporary residence with the information he had collected, then took out all the information he had collected before and carefully studied the intelligence of the people around Yu Jinghua.

More than two hundred years have passed, and the people who had followed Yu Jinghua since the Sanjue Sect period are now basically gone for various reasons, including Zhou Zhenkun, a Purple Mansion period cultivator from the Zhou family who had joined him, and Xiao Lingyan, also a Purple Mansion period cultivator.

Now, there are three close confidants around this person. One is Wang Chen, the disciple he accepted after joining Yuling Sect, one is Zhou Hui, the descendant of Zhou Zhenkun, and the other is Cai He, the original disciple of Sanjue Sect.

Among them, Wang Chen and Zhou Hui are both Foundation Establishment cultivators, and only Cai He is a Purple Mansion cultivator. Now the three of them are Yu Jinghua’s direct disciples.

If Zhou Chun wanted to lure Yu Jinghua out and kill him, he basically had to start with these disciples.

Unfortunately, Tianzhi Tower only collected general information about the disciples around Yu Jinghua. Zhou Chun only knew the names, cultivation levels, and origins of the three of them, and was completely in the dark about their personalities.

And now if we let Tianzhilou collect information about these three people again, there is no guarantee that we will not alert the enemy again.

So after pondering for a while, Zhou Chun decided to go and contact these people in person.

He has the [Hundred Illusion Pearls] in his hand, so as long as he doesn't meet with Jindan stage cultivators, there is no way these juniors can discover his true identity.

Two months later, Zhou Chun, who used the alias Xu Yun, appeared in Xuanqingfang City with the appearance of a middle-aged man and the cultivation level of the late foundation building stage.

As the largest market town closest to Yulingmen, Xuanqing Market is where Yulingmen disciples often hang out.

There is also a shop of Yulingmen here, which specializes in selling some spirit beast cubs, spirit beast eggs, and various spirit beast rations and elixirs.

After Zhou Chun entered the shop called "Yuling Pavilion", he easily found some Zhou family's unique spirit beast rations and elixirs for sale.

Fortunately, he was mentally prepared for this situation. After a slight pause, he pretended to be an ordinary customer and bought some food for the spirit beasts. Then, he used the excuse of asking for advice on how to train and advance the monster beasts to get close to the shopkeeper.

As a new face, Zhou Chun's initial attempts to get close to others naturally had no effect.

But in the following months, he visited the "Imperial Spirit Pavilion" many times, bought a lot of things, acted very sincere, repeatedly pestered the shopkeeper for advice, and promised that if he could help his pet successfully advance, he would definitely give him a valuable gift.

After his persistent pestering, the shopkeeper finally agreed to help him.

The monster that Zhou Chun deliberately prepared was a first-class top-grade monster, the Iron-horned Rhino, which he brought from his family by contract. The advanced monster of this monster was the intermediate monster, the Silver-horned Rhino!
