Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Chapter 549 Alchemy Plan, Lure the Snake Out of the Hole [Subscription Request]

Tianyuan Fairy City.

Zhou Chun came from Jingguo and arrived in this fairy city again, but he did not visit Luo Qingni first as usual, but went to the place where Zhou Daoyi was practicing.

Calculating the time, it has been a while since Zhou Daoyi successfully formed the elixir, and now he can come out of seclusion to receive guests.

"This junior has met my uncle. Congratulations on your successful completion of the golden elixir. May you live a thousand years!"

In the cave, after seeing Zhou Daoyi, Zhou Chun immediately offered his sincere congratulations.

Among the elders of the Zhou family, Zhou Daoyi was undoubtedly the closest to him.

Now that this elder has also succeeded in forming the elixir, he is happy for him from the bottom of his heart.

After hearing his congratulations, Zhou Daoyi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Hahaha, congratulations to you, Zhengchun, you should have brought Baibai here, let me see what a fourth-level thunder dragon looks like!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun of course fulfilled the elder's request and quickly released the Thunder Dragon Baibai so that he could have a look.

After seeing the strange thing like this, Zhou Daoyi first asked Zhou Chun to take back the Thunder Dragon for nothing, then looked at him seriously and said, "I have also heard about what happened in the family before. Let's keep some accounts in mind and slowly settle them when we have the chance in the future!"

Zhou Chun knew that he was talking about the Qinglian Temple hiring people to assassinate him, and the Yuelun Sect plotting against the Zhou family.

He nodded slightly and said, "I understand that sooner or later I will settle these accounts with them!"

After saying that, he told Zhou Daoyi about the appearance of a genius with top-grade spiritual roots of wind attribute in the Zhou family.

Like Zhou Mingde before, Zhou Daoyi was also extremely happy and excited after hearing about this, and hurriedly asked him for details.

After Zhou Chun finished telling the relevant details, including his arrangements and plans, Zhou Daoyi began to think carefully about those arrangements and plans he had mentioned.

After thinking for a while, he looked at Zhou Chun and said, "Zheng Chun, your plan is fine in general, but before Ying'er truly controls the secret island, this matter must not be known to Xu Fu and his wife, lest they instigate Ying'er to do something that is detrimental to the family."

"And after Ying'er starts to understand things, Zhengchun, you have to spend more time and effort to take care of her and cultivate a good master-disciple relationship from an early age. This will also make it easier to share the treasures on the secret island with her in the future."

Zhou Chun nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and immediately replied: "That's true. After I complete my revenge this time, I will return to my family to practice meditation for 20 to 30 years and teach Ying'er a lesson!"

Hearing him talking about revenge, Zhou Daoyi frowned slightly and couldn't help but look at him and said, "According to what you said, Zhengchun, Wang Jun is also from a big sect and has a blood relationship with the Yuanying stage immortal. Is it really okay for you to go and seek revenge on him alone? Otherwise, let me and Hongyu go together to help you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun shook his head and said, "Don't worry about this. I came here fully prepared. Even if he really has the trump card given by the Yuanying Stage True Man to protect him, I am sure I can keep him!"

This was his personal matter, so he didn't want to implicate Zhou Daoyi and his wife.

Moreover, he did not think that Wang Jun would be his opponent.

"Well, since you have made up your mind, I will not persuade you any more. Just be careful!"

Zhou Daoyi looked at Zhou Chun for a while, then finally sighed softly and did not insist any longer.

"Junior will be careful."

Zhou Chun responded, and then chatted with Zhou Daoyi about some family matters. After staying for a few days, he left.

According to the Zhou family's plan, Zhou Daoyi will not return to the family to make a public appearance again, and he will settle down in Tianyuan Fairy City in the future.

With his own skills in talisman making, renting a cave in Tianyuan Fairy City is not a problem at all, not to mention that his family will also provide subsidies.

Moreover, Zhou Chun also discussed one thing with him this time. He planned to let him buy a shop in Tianyuan Fairy City and be responsible for selling the resources developed by the Zhou family from the wilderness in the future.

He will be in charge of this shop for a long time as the spokesperson of the Zhou family and will be in contact with the forces of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Similar situations are not uncommon in Tianyuan Fairy City.

In the future, Zhou Chun will transfer a group of Zhou family foundation-building cultivators and Qi-refining cultivators to come here to help. This can be regarded as one of the three burrows of a cunning rabbit!

At this time, after leaving Zhou Daoyi's cave, Zhou Chun soon went to visit Luo Qingni at "Qingni Residence".

He had contacted the other party yesterday and agreed to visit him today, so soon after he arrived outside "Qingni Residence", he saw Luo Qingni, whom he hadn't seen for a while.

"I haven't seen you for many years. Brother Luo's cultivation has become even more sophisticated. I am really envious of you!"

Looking at Luo Qingni, whose cultivation aura had increased a lot, Zhou Chun couldn't hide his envy and sighed.

He was not being polite; he was truly envious.

After forming the elixir, he had no more elixirs to take, so the rate of growth in his cultivation was very slow.

After all, his true spiritual root qualification is only of middle grade!

Judging from his practice results over the years, even if everything went well, without the help of elixirs, it would take him at least 150 years to cultivate to the peak of the early Golden Elixir stage.

And how to break through the barrier of the middle stage of the Golden Core realm will be a severe test!

That is to say, Zhou Chun himself achieved the Dan-forming stage relatively early, succeeding at the age of just over 200, so he still had plenty of time in the future.

Otherwise, he would have been anxiously looking for spiritual objects everywhere to improve his cultivation and magic power.

Facing Zhou Chun's sigh, Luo Qingni couldn't help but smile and said, "Daoyou Zhou, you are too polite. Qingni is different from you. You don't need to worry about trivial matters. Just focus on cultivation. It is natural for your cultivation to improve steadily."

At this point, he looked at Zhou Chun with a surprised look in his eyes and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, even though you were distracted by family affairs, your cultivation level has not fallen behind. Qing Ni really admires you!"

Hearing her words, Zhou Chun sighed and said, "Ah, I also want to be as free and easy as you, Brother Luo, but I am in a family and enjoy the family's offerings, but there are some things I have to do with my attention!"

After saying that, he shook his head, smiled at the other party and said, "Okay, let's not talk about these annoying things. Let's talk about Zhou's visit to Brother Luo today."

Then he repeated his purpose.

The main reason he came to see Luo Qingni this time was to ask for her help in refining a furnace of [Purple Dust Pill], and also to see if he could gather the spiritual herbs needed for another furnace of [Ancient Dust Pill].

Regarding the matter of collecting materials for the [Ancient Dust Pill], he had previously asked Luo Qingni to keep an eye out for him. If they appeared, he would help him get them as long as the price was right.

The last thing is to show the auxiliary medicines of [Jade Dew and Golden Cloud Pill] that he has collected, and see what materials are missing for the two of them to make this pill together.

After hearing his purpose, Luo Qingni first readily agreed to refine the [Purple Dust Pill], and then took out several kinds of spiritual medicines needed for the [Ancient Dust Pill] that she had collected and showed them to Zhou Chun.

After comparing, Zhou Chun discovered that as long as he could find another thousand-year-old elixir, he would be able to gather enough materials to refine another furnace of [Ancient Dust Pill].

This made him extremely happy.

After Luo Qingni finished looking at the auxiliary medicines for [Jade Dew and Golden Cloud Pill] that he had collected, her eyes lit up and she showed joy.

He immediately clapped his hands and shouted, "Great! If we add the auxiliary medicines collected by Fellow Daoist Zhou, we have already collected 80% of the important auxiliary medicines needed for the [Jade Dew Golden Cloud Pill]. We only need to find two more main ingredients and we can try to refine this pill!"

Zhou Chun was also happy to hear her words, but soon he seemed to have thought of something and asked in a low voice: "If we start refining the Jade Dew Golden Cloud Pill, are you sure about it, Brother Luo?"

This statement might be offensive to the other party, but the matter was of great importance, so he naturally had to say what he should say.

Fortunately, Luo Qingni was also a reasonable person. She did not pay attention to his doubts and immediately answered: "Qingni has been studying the recipe whenever she has time in recent years. If I can really gather all the materials, Qingni will use some rare spiritual objects to assist in refining the pill. I should have a 70% chance of success!"

Hearing her answer, Zhou Chun's eyes lit up, and then he nodded repeatedly and said, "A 70% chance of success is already quite high. Since Brother Luo is so sure, we should speed up the collection of the two main medicines. Does Brother Luo have any news about the two spiritual medicines?"

"There is no news about the three thousand year old Golden Line Dendrobium at the moment, but we know that the three thousand year old [Jade Flower and Jade Dew] is being cultivated in the medicine gardens of two forces. If we can offer something that will interest them, we might try to exchange it!"

Luo Qingni did not hide anything and quickly told the results of her investigation.

As a famous alchemy master in Tianyuan Fairy City, she has a very wide network of contacts. It is naturally much easier for her to find out information about high-end spiritual medicines than Zhou Chun.

However, when it comes to rare and precious elixirs like the Millennium Treasure, she can often only get information about them. It is not easy to get the things herself.

After listening to her story, Zhou Chun was also refreshed and said immediately: "Since we already have information about a main medicine, Brother Luo might as well find out the other party's exchange conditions. If it is not too outrageous, it is not impossible for us to exchange it with a slightly higher price."

Hearing this, Luo Qingni couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "It would be great if we could exchange it, but to exchange for a spiritual medicine of this level, and for us to take the initiative to come to you to exchange, I'm afraid that spiritual medicines of the same level won't be enough, and we'll need more precious spiritual medicines."

“Although Qing Ni has a few thousand-year-old precious herbs in her hands, I’m afraid they won’t be pleasing to the other party!”

Having said that, he looked at Zhou Chun eagerly.

She also knew a little about Zhou Chun's situation. She knew that when Zhou Chun participated in the exchange meeting in Tianyuan Fairy City, he often took out thousand-year-old elixirs and thousand-year-old precious medicines for exchange.

Therefore, he hoped that Zhou Chun could take out a rare thousand-year-old precious medicine to exchange for the [Jade Dew].

Seeing this, Zhou Chun only hesitated for a moment, then faced her expectant gaze and said, "I do have some relatively rare thousand-year-old precious medicines, but if I am asked to provide the main medicine, how should the elixirs be distributed?"

After hearing what he said, Luo Qingni quickly replied: "Among these materials now, Daoist Zhou has the majority. If Daoist Zhou provides one main herb, we will split it in half after the pill is made. If Daoist Zhou provides both main herbs, Qingni will only take one after the pill is made. What do you think, Daoist Zhou?"

After all, she had the convenience of "investing in technology", so even if no elixir was produced, she would at least get one elixir.

This is also the unspoken rule of the alchemist industry. Therefore, after hearing her words, Zhou Chun did not feel that he was at a disadvantage. He quickly nodded and said, "That's great!"

Then he made a list of several spiritual objects that he could use for exchange and handed it to Luo Qingni.

When Luo Qingni saw the list of seven or eight thousand-year-old precious medicines, including the three thousand-year-old [Jadeite Ganoderma], the four thousand-year-old [Phoenix Blood Vine], the [Thousand-Gold Fruit], the three thousand eight hundred-year-old [Earthen Dragon Ginseng] and other rare spiritual medicines, her beautiful eyes widened and she looked at Zhou Chun in surprise.

Although she knew that Zhou Chun was wealthy and must have some rare thousand-year-old precious medicines on him, she did not expect Zhou Chun to be so "extravagantly rich".

No matter how stupid she was, she knew that these elixirs were definitely not the rarest ones Zhou Chun had.

"Brother Zhou, could it be that you have obtained a medicinal garden left behind by a senior cultivator?"

After hesitating for a long time, Luo Qingni couldn't help but ask this question out of curiosity.

"more or less!"

Zhou Chun responded vaguely and didn't want to say more.

He didn't dare tell the truth to Luo Qingni, otherwise Luo Qingni might ask him for the jade talisman to enter the secret island immediately.

Although even if he gave the jade talisman to the other party, it would be unlikely for the other party to replicate his experience.

Fortunately, Luo Qingni still maintained her rationality and did not delve further into the matter. She just said with envy: "Brother Zhou, your luck is really enviable. With the list you gave me, Qingni is very confident that she can exchange for [Jade Dew]!"

"Then I'll leave this matter to Brother Luo."

Zhou Chun cupped his hands and handed the matter over to the other party.

In the following days, Luo Qingni first refined the [Purple Dust Pill] at the request of Zhou Chun.

Because it was the first time to refine this kind of pill, the number of pills produced was not very high, only five.

But even so, Zhou Chun was very satisfied.

With these five [Purple Dust Pills] in hand, at the very least the Zhou family can have one more Purple Mansion Stage cultivator.

Moreover, this kind of spiritual object is not like the Foundation Establishment Pill, which the family must provide to the cultivators within the family.

If they use it sparingly, the Zhou family won't have to worry about assisting in the development of the Purple Mansion spiritual objects in the next hundred years.

After getting the elixir, Zhou Chun quickly left Tianyuan Fairy City and went straight to the area where the gate of Leiya Valley was located.

The overall strength of Leiya Valley is not that strong in the Great Zhou Kingdom. This sect used to be a medium-sized sect like the Yuling Sect. It was not until the current supreme elder, True Man Kuang Lei, successfully conceived a baby that it was promoted to a major force.

After True Man Kuang Lei successfully formed a fetus, the Wang family, from which he came, took over Leiya Valley with his support and gradually turned this sect into a family-run sect.

Currently, the Jindan-stage cultivators in Leiya Valley are either members of the Wang family and their sons-in-law, or direct disciples of True Man Kuanglei.

If ordinary disciples of Leiya Valley want to obtain resources for forming a golden elixir, they can only choose to marry into the Wang family, or become a disciple of a Jindan-stage cultivator of the Wang family.

Things like this where immortal cultivation families counterattack and annex sects are not uncommon in the immortal cultivation world, but it is rare for them to be able to last for a long time.

Take the current Leiya Valley as an example. Once the True Man Kuanglei passes away or dies, Leiya Valley, without him in charge, will immediately regress back to a medium-sized sect.

It is unknown whether the Wang family will still be able to control this sect by then.

Even if it can still be controlled, the conflicts and contradictions between the disciples of the sect and the disciples of the Wang family will continue to consume the strength of both sides, leading to the decline of both sides.

But that was much later.

At least now, with the help of the reputation of True Man Kuang Lei, the Wang family of Leiya Valley is also a well-known immortal cultivation family in the Great Zhou Kingdom, and many forces will give them some face.

As a powerful force with a Nascent Soul cultivator in charge, Leiya Valley naturally has its own market.

Minglei Market is the market under the jurisdiction of Leiya Valley. This market is not very big. It is built on a sacred mountain about five or six hundred miles away from the gate of Leiya Valley. Usually, most of the cultivators coming and going in it are disciples of Leiya Valley.

Because the Leiya Valley sect is famous for its thunder-attributed magical powers and spells, some thunder-attributed talismans and magical instruments can often be bought in the Minglei Market. This feature often attracts cultivators from other regions to patronize.

After all, thunder magic is fierce and domineering, and its power is far greater than the other five elements magic. If you have a thunder talisman of the same level in your hand, you will have a much better chance of winning when fighting the enemy.

When Zhou Chun arrived at Minglei Market, he had used the [Hundred Illusion Pearls] to transform into a middle-aged man with a mature appearance. His cultivation had also been reduced to the late Purple Mansion stage, and he changed his name to Qi Changfeng.

Minglei Market itself was just a small regional market. When a cultivator of his level of cultivation entered it, he naturally quickly attracted the attention of the Purple Mansion Stage cultivator from Leiya Valley who was in charge of the market.

When Zhou Chun entered the official store opened by Leiya Valley and expressed his desire to purchase a third-level thunder talisman, he smoothly met Wang Long, a mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator from the Wang family.

Wang Long was a fat middle-aged man who wore a golden robe and seven rings of different colors on his ten fingers, which seemed to be magical instruments.

After receiving Zhou Chun in the private room, this person first asked about Zhou Chun's background in a roundabout way.

After he felt that he had a good understanding of the situation, he looked at Zhou Chun with a smile on his face and said, "The third-level thunder talisman that Fellow Daoist Qi wants to buy is currently out of stock in our store. If you really want it, I can apply to the family for you."

At this point, he narrowed his eyes and continued, "But Fellow Daoist Qi should know the rules of this shop. Generally, all third-level thunder talismans can only be exchanged and not sold. Fellow Daoist needs to take out a matching spiritual object in order to exchange for the treasures here!"

"Since Qi has come here from afar, I naturally understand the rules of your store."

Zhou Chun nodded slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "But the thunder talisman that Qi wants to exchange is not an ordinary third-level thunder talisman, but a third-level top-grade thunder talisman, and at least three are required!"

"What? Three third-grade, top-grade thunder talismans!"

Wang Long widened his eyes and looked at Zhou Chun in surprise.

Then he looked solemn, and said to Zhou Chun with a serious face: "Fellow Daoist Qi, do you know what you are talking about? The value of a third-grade upper-grade thunder talisman is not lower than that of an ordinary fourth-grade lower-grade magic talisman, and it is even more difficult to obtain!"

At this point, he couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist Qi, what can you use to exchange for three third-level high-quality thunder talismans?"

Faced with doubts, Zhou Chun replied calmly: "Qi certainly knows how precious the third-grade upper-grade thunder talisman is, but Qi believes that the chips in my hand are completely worth this deal!"

Hearing his answer, Wang Long couldn't help but turn the rings on his fingers, and then asked curiously: "Oh, but I don't know what the bargaining chips that Fellow Daoist Qi mentioned are?"

Zhou Chun heard this and immediately shook his head, "Fellow Daoist Wang, you misunderstood. Qi's bargaining chip is not a treasure, but the news of a treasure!"

After saying this, he even said with greed in his eyes: "If that treasure is really in Qi's hands, Qi will not only ask for a third-level upper-grade thunder talisman, but ask for a fourth-level thunder talisman!"

"You want to exchange three third-grade high-quality thunder talismans for just a piece of news?"

Wang Long was slightly stunned, then his face darkened, and he looked at Zhou Chun coldly and said, "Fellow Daoist Qi, are you teasing me? What kind of news can be worth three third-grade upper-grade thunder talismans? Do you know that the value of three third-grade upper-grade thunder talismans is almost enough to exchange for a Jindan spiritual object!"

He was really angry at this time, and thought that he had met a liar who was deliberately mysterious and wanted to deceive people.

Although this kind of scammer is rare at the Purple Mansion level, they do exist.

Zhou Chun was not panicked at all. He just patted his storage bag, took out something, handed it to him and said, "Don't be angry, Brother Wang. You can take a look at this first."

Wang Long looked carefully and saw that it was a magical weapon called "Phantom Pearl".

This "Phantom Bead" is similar to the "Image Bead", except that the "Phantom Bead" can imprint the images that the cultivator has experienced into it through the spiritual consciousness, and then make them available for other cultivators to view.

With great curiosity, Wang Long reached out and took the "Phantom Pearl" magic weapon handed to him by Zhou Chun. After a little ritual, he put his spiritual consciousness into it.

Suddenly, he saw a giant earthworm monster with black skin in his mind. The monster had silver-white lightning patterns on its body and a silver-white horn on its head. It could release lightning spells.

In the video, the giant earthworm monster is fighting a green deer monster, and it seems to have the upper hand.

"This is... could that earthworm monster inside be the legendary [Thunderworm Beast]?"

Wang Long's pupils shrank, and he couldn't help but withdraw his consciousness and look at Zhou Chun, letting out a low cry of disbelief.

As a cultivator of the Wang family in Leiya Valley, although he did not have thunder attribute spiritual roots and could not practice thunder attribute spells, he was very familiar with the information of various thunder attribute monsters.

After all, those Wang family practitioners who practice thunder-attributed techniques often have to obtain materials from these monsters to refine magical instruments and treasures.

As for extremely rare monsters like the Thunder Worm Beast, he had naturally read about them in ancient books.

Facing Wang Long's exclamation, Zhou Chun replied calmly: "Friend Wang, please give me some advice. That is a Thunder Worm Beast, and it is a third-level mid-grade monster!"

After that, he looked at the other party with confidence and said, "Regarding the use of the [Thunder Worm Beast], I think I don't need to introduce it to Fellow Daoist Wang. For those thunder-attributed cultivators of your sect, the value of the horn on the top of this beast's head is probably far greater than ten third-level high-quality thunder talismans!"

Not only ten third-grade top-quality thunder talismans, even ten fourth-grade thunder talismans would be worth it!

Wang Long sighed silently in his heart, but said with a straight face: "Fellow Daoist Qi, you are joking. If you really bring the unicorn horn with you, it will not be a problem. But you want to exchange three third-level high-quality thunder talismans for just a piece of information. It is too greedy!"

He then tried his best to bargain with Zhou Chun.
