Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Chapter 533 A gratifying harvest [Subscription required]

Ukulu, the high priest of the scaly frog tribe, is also an old friend of Zhou Chun.

Since Lu Ran's death, the two sides have been cooperating for hundreds of years.

And thanks to the long-term trade between the two sides, Ukulu has now become a third-level mid-grade warlock.

More importantly, after the previous incident in which the demon cultivators slaughtered the alien scaly frog tribes, Ukulu, under the advice of the Zhou family, had successfully integrated most of the alien scaly frog tribes, established a tribal alliance, and naturally became the leader of the alliance.

Now he has three third-level warlocks under his command, and can command and control as many as two to three hundred second-level warlocks. He can be said to have a strong army.

The stronger the power controlled by Ukulu's men, the greater the quantity and quality of treasures obtained from Longyuanze, and the Zhou family will naturally benefit from it.

Ever since Zhou Chun succeeded in forming his elixir, he has rarely dealt with Ukulu in person.

When Ukulu learned that he was coming in person, he hurried over to meet him.

"Wukulu greets Senior Zhou. I wonder what instructions you have for calling Wukulu here."

On a reef by the lake, Ukulu emerged from the water and bowed to Zhou Chun with great respect.

Zhou Chun knew that people of this alien race feared power rather than virtue, so he did not say anything at this time and the two of them continued to talk on an equal footing.

He stared at Wukulu with a serious expression and said, "Wukulu, you have cooperated with Zhou for hundreds of years. How has Zhou or the Zhou family treated you? Have they ever harmed you?"

Hearing his words, Wukulu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly replied, "Senior Zhou and the Zhou family have been very good to me. Without their help, I wouldn't be in my current position, and my Scaled Frog tribe wouldn't be as united and prosperous as it is today!"

"Okay, since you know this very well, Zhou wants you to help me do something dangerous that may be dangerous but must be done. Are you willing to do it?"

When Zhou Chun said this, he stared at Ukulu's eyes, and he observed the other person's heartbeat and blood flow.

I saw that Ukulu's heartbeat was obviously faster, and there was a look of nervousness and anxiety in his eyes.

But not long after, he seemed to have figured something out, and suddenly nodded vigorously at Zhou Chun and said, "Junior is willing, please give me your orders, Senior Zhou!"

Seeing this, Zhou Chun suddenly laughed and said, "Haha, don't be nervous. I don't want you to fight any powerful enemies. I just want you to run to the depths of Longyuanze!"

Sure enough, after hearing his words, Ukulu felt relieved.

For the scaly frog race, although going to the depths of Longyuanze is also a relatively dangerous thing, compared to fighting head-on with some powerful monsters, at least there is still a lot of room for maneuver.

He immediately looked at Zhou Chun and said, "I understand. I wonder what I should do?"

"What you have to do is very simple. Help me deliver this body bag to Longyuan, deep in Longyuan Lake. Then find a cave to take out the coffin and store it there. When you come back, remember to block the entrance to the cave and leave a mark for easy finding!"

"If this is accomplished, Zhou will definitely reward you handsomely!"

As Zhou Chun spoke, he raised his hand, took off a black body bag hanging around his waist, and handed it to Ukulu.

"What? We're going to Long Yuan!"

Ukulu's expression changed and he looked at Zhou Chun in shock, but saw that Zhou Chun's face was calm.

She just looked at him calmly and asked, "Why? You don't dare?"

"I...Yes, Ukuru obeys!"

After gritting his teeth, Ukulu raised his hand to take the black body bag and accepted the task.

"Very good, then Zhou will wait here for good news from you, Brother Wukulu!"

Zhou Chun nodded with satisfaction, seeming very satisfied with his performance.

But Ukulu was speechless with a bitter heart. He could only say goodbye to Zhou Chun quickly and return to the tribe to arrange his funeral.

Longyuan is not a good place. It is the origin of the name Longyuanze.

The waters where the scaled frog aliens live now can be called Longyuanze, but it is actually only the outermost area of ​​the real Longyuanze.

After traveling thousands of miles from this outer area towards the depths of Longyuanze, the depth of the water will drop sharply, reaching several thousand feet or even tens of thousands of feet!

That is Longyuan, which is also the base camp of the Jiaolong clan.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the scaly frogs to go there, and their range of activities will not even go more than three thousand miles deep into Longyuanze.

Ordinary scaly frogs don't have the ability to go to such places. Only third-level warlocks like Ukulu can barely go there.

As the base camp of the Jiaolong clan, the Longyuan area is absolutely forbidden to human cultivators.

Even human cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage would not dare to set foot in such forbidden areas easily, for fear of being surrounded and killed by those fifth-level dragons.

You know, to these fifth-order dragons, the Nascent Soul of human cultivators is a great tonic. Eating one is more effective than practicing for a hundred years for them!

Therefore, as long as Ukulu really hides the Soul-Sealing Coffin that contains the Ice Prison Gate killer inside Longyuan, it is basically impossible for any cultivator from the Ice Prison Gate to dare to go there to look for him.

In the following days, Zhou Chun could sense through the mark left on the Soul-Sealing Coffin that it was moving towards the depths of Longyuanze. It was obvious that Ukulu had begun to carry out the task he had assigned to him.

The strength of the third-level scaled frog alien warlock in the water is not much weaker than that of an ordinary third-level monster. As long as Ukulu brings some helpers and is careful, there is still great hope of completing this task.

After more than ten days, the weak Ukulu finally appeared in front of Zhou Chun again.

"Senior Zhou, I have fulfilled my mission and have successfully placed the coffin in Longyuan according to your instructions. I have also left a mark for easy identification as you instructed!"

He spoke weakly about the completion of his task, his tone was feeble, as if speaking was very difficult.

But Zhou Chun could actually see that although he was indeed seriously injured, he was not hurt to this extent.

Doing this now is nothing more than asking for reward.

Zhou Chun didn't have any strange thoughts about this. After all, the other party did complete the task he assigned at the risk of his life.

The emperor has plenty of hungry soldiers!

Zhou Chun naturally would not let Ukulu take the risk in vain.

He immediately raised his hand and patted the storage bag on his waist, and a jade slip appeared in his hand.

Then he threw it to Wukulu and said, "This jade slip contains a modified weapon refining inheritance. I know that you, Wukulu, have long wanted to train a weapon refiner of your own clan. You can take this item and have someone study it carefully. Maybe in the future your Scaled Frog Clan will be able to produce some low-level magic weapons!"

Hearing his words, Ukulu was surprised at first, and then happy.

He hurriedly took the jade slip, then bowed to Zhou Chun and thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you for the reward, Senior Zhou. I promise you that even if the Scaled Frog Clan can produce low-level magic tools in the future, it will definitely not affect the trade with the Zhou family!"

He was smart and knew what the Zhou family might be worried about, so he expressed his attitude directly at this time.

But he actually didn't know that Zhou Chun was not afraid at all that the Scaled Frog aliens would cut off trade with the Zhou family after mastering the ability to refine low-level magical tools.

Zhou Chun didn't want to explain anything more, he just nodded with a smile and said: "Well, Wukulu, you are a smart high priest. The Scale Frog Tribe needs the guidance of a high priest with foresight like you, so that they can get better and better in this Longyuanze!"

Then he let Ukulu leave.

"I hope these scaly frogs won't let me down and will be able to produce their own low-level magic tools as soon as possible!"

Zhou Chun looked at the direction where Ukulu was going away, and a hint of worry appeared in his eyes.

If possible, he certainly didn't want the scaly frog aliens to be able to produce low-level magical weapons on their own.

But the reality is that with a hundred years of trade with the Zhou family, the Scaled Frog race now possesses a large number of low-level magical weapons.

This certainly greatly increased their strength, but it also laid hidden dangers.

What if someone from the Dragon Transformation Cult came here one day and noticed that the alien Scaled Frog sorcerer was using magic weapons? Wouldn't that very likely expose the Zhou family's existence?
Therefore, Zhou Chun now wants the Scaled Frog Tribe to be able to produce low-level magical weapons on their own. When the Dragon Transformation Cult really tracks them down, it will also be able to cover up the existence of the Zhou family.

Now it is fortunate that although many alien sorcerers of the scaly frog race know that High Priest Ukulu has trade with the human race behind the scenes, not many alien sorcerers of the scaly frog race actually know about the existence of the Zhou family.

Every time trade was conducted, it was Ukulu and a few of his trusted men who would connect with the Zhou family monks. The Zhou family monks would never appear openly in front of ordinary scaly frog alien sorcerers.

In this way, as long as Ukulu and his trusted men are safe, the Zhou family should be able to hide.

After dealing with the Ice Prison Gate killer, Zhou Chun did not stay in the wilderness for long, and soon went to the location of Chengguo’s secret treasure vault.

He had to finish off the treasure in this secret vault before the Ice Prison Gate could react, and then go to the Great Zhou Kingdom to hide for a while.

……

In Bingyi Country, in a cold ice room somewhere.

No one knew where this place was underground, and the walls on all four sides were made of solid ice with a blue sheen.

In the ice room, there are soul tablets emitting purple-black spiritual light, and the name of its owner is pasted in front of each soul tablet.

At a quick glance, there are hundreds of soul tablets!

When the killer who assassinated Zhou Chun was sealed by him with the "Art of Sealing Souls and Suppressing Corpses", a soul tablet with the name "Chi Qinghan" on it suddenly shook slightly, and the purple-black spiritual light emanating from it dimmed a lot.

This scene immediately attracted the attention of an old man who was meditating in the corner of the ice room.

The old man's hair was completely white and he was wearing an ice mask on his face.

He opened his eyes and his gaze fell on the soul tablet that was moving.

"The soul tablet is shaking, and the soul light is dim. It seems that Junior Brother Chi encountered a dangerous situation while on a mission. Let's observe for a while before making any decisions."

The old man muttered to himself, and then he focused some of his attention on the soul tablet.

After observing for half a day, the old man frowned when he saw that the soul tablet was no longer moving and the soul light was gradually stabilizing. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Looking at the reaction of this soul tablet, Junior Brother Chi should not be in danger of death. But is he injured and needs to recuperate, or has his soul been sealed by someone?"

After a brief pause, the old man took out a communication talisman and informed the leader of the Ice Prison Gate of his discovery.

Not long after this, he received a reply.

"Continue to observe for half a month. If there is no change after half a month, come back."

Muttering the sect master's reply in a low voice, the old man immediately closed his eyes and continued to meditate.

Half a month passed quickly. After seeing that the soul tablet had not changed, the old man sent another communication talisman to the sect leader, attaching the results of half a month's observation.

Afterwards, a Jindan-stage cultivator from the Ice Prison Sect left the mountain gate and traveled to Jingguo to investigate the situation.

At this time, Zhou Chun had already appeared in Chengguo's secret library.

While he was waiting for Zhang Liang to set up the formation, he was also counting the spoils of capturing the Ice Prison Gate killer alive.

After capturing the other party alive, Zhou Chun also coveted the uses of several magic weapons on the other party, especially the natal flying sword refined with [Ten Thousand Years Ice Crystal].

But because that flying sword was the opponent's natal flying sword, once it was carried on the body, it might be found by the masters of the Ice Prison Gate using secret techniques. Zhou Chun could only reluctantly seal it in the Soul-Sealing Coffin.

The real magic weapons he kept in his hand were the white mirror and another white shield.

Although the white mirror was only a low-grade magic weapon, the icy light it released was extremely powerful. In terms of value, it was much more valuable than the several low-grade magic weapons Zhou Chun had handled before.

The white shield magic weapon is even more of a mid-grade defensive magic weapon. It's a pity that it was spiritually injured by the talisman bestowed by him with the real person Tianjing, and it was attacked many times by him in the previous battle. Now its spirituality is greatly damaged, and there are signs that it will fall back to a low-grade magic weapon.

These two magic weapons are not the killer's original magic weapons. Zhou Chun only needs to erase the mark and breath left by the other party, and he doesn't have to worry about being tracked by the breath.

But because it was stolen goods, in order to avoid it being exposed in the future and attracting the killers from the Ice Prison Gate, he planned to take it back to the Great Zhou Kingdom and exchange it with someone.

After examining the two magic weapons, Zhou Chun took out the killer's storage bag and opened it.

As he expected, there were not many good things in the other party's storage bag.

As killers, they could die at any time during a mission, so these Ice Prison Gate killers couldn't take much with them when they went out on a mission.

There was nothing important inside except a spirit crystal for replenishing mana, some healing pills and talismans.

Zhou Chun did not find any evidence that could incriminate Qinglian Temple. He only found two pieces of intelligence information about himself and the Zhou family. It seemed that one piece was provided by Qinglian Temple, and the other was collected by Bingyumen itself.

He didn't even find any identity token or anything related to the Ice Prison Gate!
However, it would not be accurate to say that this person has no good things on him. At least the white robe he is wearing is very good, and it is a magical weapon that can conceal one's aura.

Unfortunately, the style was too unique, and Zhou Chun didn't dare to keep it on him, so he could only stay in the Soul-Sealing Coffin with it.

"It is said that Bingyi Country is rich in various spiritual creatures with icy attributes, and the monsters there are mostly of ice, wind, and water attributes. Perhaps there will be monsters with the bloodline of the [Taiyin Moon Toad] there?"

Zhou Chun looked at the treasures obtained from the killer in front of him, his eyes flashing, as if he had some idea.

But soon he put everything away, cleared his mind and sat in meditation quietly.

"Reporting to the clan leader, the formation has been set up. Now we just need to consume the spiritual energy here according to the plan. When the spiritual energy drops to a certain level, we can break through the door!"

At the foot of the cliff, Zhang Liang quickly came to Zhou Chun who was sitting cross-legged and reported his work results respectfully.

After hearing his words, Zhou Chun immediately said: "Since everything has been arranged, let's get started!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and patted the spirit beast bag on his waist, releasing the three spirit pets: Stone, the golden-armored mountain turtle, the golden-winged tiger, and Mu Mei Mu Sang, and let them start to attack the formation here together to consume the spiritual energy on the mountain.

The concentration of spiritual energy in the spiritual vein here is similar to that of Zhou family's Jiufeng Ridge. With the attack strength of the three spiritual pets, one day is enough to reduce the spiritual energy here to the required level.

However, doing so would make quite a lot of noise and easily attract the attention of other cultivators and monsters nearby.

Fortunately, Zhou Chun had already made arrangements in advance. As long as there was no Jindan stage cultivator who suddenly came, it should not be a problem to keep the news secret for a day or two.

The day passed quickly.

When Zhang Liang, who was always observing the changes in the spiritual energy on the mountain, gave a reminder, Zhou Chun immediately ordered the three spiritual pets to stop their attack.

Afterwards, he came to the stone door made of "Black Prison Stone" and sacrificed the [Moon Toad Orb] without saying a word.

In terms of pure attack power, "Taiyin Extinction Divine Light" is undoubtedly the most powerful method Zhou Chun currently possesses.

Moreover, this magical power has the power to freeze everything, and perhaps it can have a certain positive effect on the self-destruction restriction inside.

Sure enough, even the "Black Prison Stone", a hard stone that even a Jindan stage cultivator could not easily break, was eclipsed by the ultimate freezing power of the "Taiyin Extinction Divine Light".

White icy light fell on the stone gate, and after just one or two breaths, the stone gate collapsed.

Zhou Chun took advantage of the situation and swung the [Taibai Zhanjiao Sword], and the cracked stone door shattered with a loud bang.

But at the same time, because the stone door was hit hard, its self-destruction restriction was directly triggered, and dazzling flames suddenly appeared in the stone chamber.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun didn't care about anything else and rushed in, rescuing the things inside from the fire.

Just as Zhou Chun expected, the stone chamber contained numerous paper and leather books, as well as treasure chests and jade boxes.

But at this moment, when the fire started, many books began to burn, and strong explosions of fire also broke out near the treasure chests and jade boxes.

Some jade boxes were blown open, and the talismans sealed inside were detonated, generating even more powerful destructive force.

In this case, these talismans are like ammunition that explodes in an arsenal, only making the destruction more powerful.

After Zhou Chun blessed himself with the innate magical power [Qianyuan Jinxia], he tried his best to rescue the things inside.

Naturally, his priority in rescuing were the classics.

For the Zhou family, these books are much more useful than other treasures stored in the stone chamber.

No matter how precious other treasures are, the Zhou family will be able to buy them with money or exchange them for things in the future.

However, some precious inherited books are things that cannot be bought with money.

Unfortunately, although Zhou Chun acted quickly, he could not resist the faster spread of the destructive force inside.

He only had time to rescue less than half of the books, and took away some treasure chests and jade boxes. The rest of the things inside were destroyed in the violent explosion.

Moreover, as the boxes filled with talismans were detonated one by one, the violent force of the explosion quickly collapsed the mountain, making it impossible for Zhou Chun to continue collecting other treasures.

"Come on, everyone get up here, we'll leave right away!"

Inside the collapsed mountain, a sword light suddenly broke through the ground, and then Zhou Chun's voice spread in the air.

All of a sudden, Zhang Liang, Zhou Xindie and other Zhou family cultivators who were waiting nearby rushed towards the flying swords in the sky that had transformed into giant swords that were more than ten feet long.

Soon the giant sword carried Zhou Chun and a group of Zhou family cultivators straight up to the sky and quickly disappeared from this place.

As the Zhou family left, the monks and monsters who were attracted by the loud explosions here also gathered towards the ruins of the secret library.

Soon after, the news about the secret library appearing in Wutouling quickly spread throughout Chengguo.

On the other hand, after Zhou Chun brought everyone in the Zhou family back to Jingguo, he asked them to return to the family to collect their rewards, and told them not to reveal any information about the trip.

Then he went back to his family to share the harvest from the secret library with Zhou Mingde.

In Zhou Chun's cave in Tuyunling, Zhou Mingde, who had rushed over after hearing the news, worked with him to count and check the books and classics that he had rescued.

In the rush at that time, Zhou Chun did not have time to carefully distinguish which books and classics were important. He just used the simplest method of identification, which was to rescue according to the preciousness of the carrier.

Generally speaking, the more valuable the paper and animal skins used, the better the quality will be.

Now it seems that his choice may not be completely correct, but it is definitely not wrong.

After a thorough inventory, the two Jindan-stage cultivators of the Zhou family checked their respective inventory results, both with delighted expressions on their faces.

"That's right. Excluding the classics that overlap with the family collection, there are still three top-level skills, eight fighting skills, and twenty-three ordinary skills that the family does not have. In addition, there are sixteen methods of secret cultivation, one set each for the master of alchemy and the master of refining, and the inheritance of talisman making and formations also involves three levels!"

"This harvest is more valuable than all the ancient books and inheritances that my Zhou family has obtained in the past two hundred years!"

Zhou Mingde told the results of the inventory with a happy face, and he was very happy.

Zhou Chun also had a look of joy on his face.

Not to mention the secret techniques, for the Zhou family, it is the icing on the cake, allowing future members of the family to have more choices when selecting techniques.

However, the alchemy and weapon refining inheritance is like a timely help to the Zhou family!
Especially the alchemy inheritance. When Zhou Chun was checking the recipes recorded in it, he unexpectedly found the recipe for the [Purple Dust Pill]. This is a very famous elixir that helps open up the Purple Mansion.

In addition, there are three elixir recipes suitable for Purple Mansion stage cultivators, including the recipe for [Zeng Yuan Dan] that the Zhou family currently owns.

More importantly, one of the recipes, written on a piece of fine gold paper, actually recorded a method of refining pills to improve the magic power of a Jindan-stage cultivator.

This elixir, called [Jade Dew Golden Cloud Pill], can improve the magic power of the early Golden Core cultivator, and it also has a certain auxiliary effect in breaking through the barrier of the middle Golden Core.

The value of such a pill recipe is even higher than that of a mid-grade magic weapon. It is definitely the biggest gain from the secret library this time!
With this recipe in hand, Zhou Chun is confident that Luo Qingni, the master alchemist, will make pills for him for free for the next hundred years!

In comparison, the recipe of [Purple Dust Pill] has become an optional extra.

"This weapon refining inheritance is also extraordinary. It actually contains the method of refining a third-level flying ship. This flying ship, called the [Silver Scale Cloud Piercing Ship], can not only carry two to three hundred people, but also has powerful defensive capabilities. The fastest flying speed is not inferior to the flying speed of the late Purple Mansion cultivators!"

"There is also this flying magic weapon called [Green Jade Cloud Breaking Boat]. Although it is a second-level flying magic weapon, it can carry 20 to 30 people. It doesn't seem to be very difficult to refine!"

Just as Zhou Chun was feeling excited and happy about the elixir recipes recorded in the alchemy heritage, Zhou Mingde also spoke out his own discovery loudly with shining eyes.

He has been concentrating on studying the art of refining instruments recently. With the superior advantage brought by his realm, he can now refine a second-grade top-grade magical instrument on his own.

Therefore, more attention is paid to the various unique methods of refining magical instruments recorded in the instrument refining tradition.

After hearing his words, Zhou Chun immediately understood the importance of this.

Although almost everyone in the Zhou family has a spirit pet for transportation, it does not mean that there is no demand for this type of flying magic weapon.

After all, spiritual pets that can carry dozens or hundreds of people on a journey at high speeds are still very rare.

A flying magical device like the [Silver Scale Cloud Piercing Ship], which can carry hundreds of people at a time, is an excellent tool for transferring personnel and can almost transfer all the personnel of some small and medium-sized families.

Such treasures are basically only possessed by the big sects.

Coupled with the recipe for the [Jade Dew and Golden Cloud Pill], Zhou Chun couldn't help but become curious about the force that built the secret vault.

He immediately said: "It is possible to leave such a powerful legacy. I don't know which force built the secret library. Let's take a closer look at these books, maybe we can find some clues!"

(End of this chapter)
