Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Mystic Ridge.

When Zhou Chun walked out of Mixianling again, his mood was very complicated.

In order to take away the golden-armored mountain turtle stone, the price he paid this time was not small.

But at the same time, the gratifying changes in Stone, the golden-armored mountain turtle, also surprised and delighted him.

Zhou Chun landed in an uninhabited wilderness somewhere in Liang Country. He immediately raised his hand and patted the spirit beast bag on his waist, and released the stone of the golden-armored mountain turtle.

The golden-armored mountain-carrying turtle stone that came out was originally less than ten feet in size.

But under Zhou Chun's command, it soon stopped shrinking its body and returned to its original size.

Suddenly, a giant golden turtle with a body length of hundreds of feet and a back width of dozens of feet appeared on the wilderness plain!

The giant turtle lay on the plain, as if a small hill had suddenly appeared on the plain.

What is even more shocking is that there is actually a mountain on the back of the giant turtle!
At this time, under the urging of the giant turtle, a yellowish-brown mountain on its back was also rising steadily, and soon it soared to nearly three hundred feet high!
This mountain looks like a weight or a seal, showing a strong sense of heaviness.

Zhou Chun could feel that this mountain contained extraordinary divine power, and its aura was completely connected with the golden-armored mountain-carrying turtle stone below. The turtle and the mountain seemed like an inseparable whole.

Is this the "Carrying Mountains" magical power of the Mountain-Carrying Turtle Clan?

Zhou Chun looked at the ochre-colored mountain with a twinkle in his eyes, and was filled with amazement in his heart.

Through communication with Stone, the golden-armored mountain-carrying turtle, he has learned the origin of this mountain.

It is just an ordinary mountain in the Mixian Ridge and there is nothing special about it.

However, after the Golden-Armored Mountain-Carrying Turtle Stone selected this mountain as its target, the Demon King Chongxuan immediately used his great magical powers to gather the spiritual energy of the earth veins to transform the mountain, and invested many precious minerals.

Those precious minerals were left behind by the demon king of the Fushan Turtle clan, and were used to benefit the future generations of the Fushan Turtle clan that might appear.

After incorporating a large amount of precious minerals and being transformed by the Demon King Chongxuan, the nature of this mountain has undergone earth-shaking changes.

It is like the innate magic weapon of the golden-armored mountain turtle stone, and has the mysterious effect of Zhu.

Zhou Chun even thought that it was even more mysterious than the immortal cultivators' life-saving magic weapon!

Opponents who will fight against the Golden-Armored Mountain Turtle Stone in the future will definitely have a deep understanding of the specific magical powers of this thing.

Of course, in addition to this mountain, the magical powers of Stone, the golden-armored mountain-carrying turtle, also improved greatly after breaking through to the fourth level.

As a famous mountain-carrying turtle, after Shitou broke through to the fourth level, the mountain-carrying turtle bloodline in his body completely transformed and stabilized, and he completely transformed into a real mountain-carrying turtle, and a mutated mountain-carrying turtle with golden magical powers!
Its body is extremely powerful. With only the fourth-grade lower-grade cultivation, its body is comparable to many fourth-grade upper-grade monsters. Its body alone can ignore attacks from lower-grade magic weapons!

In other words, it is lying there now, and even if an ordinary Jindan early stage cultivator takes out a magic flying sword to chop it, he will not be able to cut it at all!
This abnormal defensive power is unmatched among many monster races, and even dragons of the same level cannot match it.

Moreover, as long as it stands on the ground, the Mountain Turtle can continuously absorb the power of the earth to restore its magic power and heal its wounds. Few monsters of the same level can compete with it on the earth!
In addition to this abnormally powerful body, Stone, the golden-armored mountain-carrying turtle, has also made great progress in his magical powers.

First of all, its earth-escaping ability has been improved to an incredible level. Now, with just a thought, it can escape into a depth of a thousand feet underground, which makes even the Yuanying stage real people feel helpless!

It can be said that as long as it is given a little time to activate its magical powers, even a real person in the Nascent Soul stage may not be able to catch it.

If the [Earth Abyss Giant Beast] that was killed by Zhou Chun before had such attainments in the earth escape technique, perhaps it would not have been killed by Zhou Chun with just one sword!
Another thing is that the magical power of [Golden Magnetic Light] originally possessed by the golden-armored mountain turtle Shitou was also strengthened and upgraded after it broke through to the fourth level, and evolved into the famous magical power of [Elemental Magnetic Divine Light].

[Yuanci Divine Light] is a very famous and powerful magical power in the world of immortal cultivation. It is said that it can destroy everything and overcome all kinds of magic!

This kind of magical power originally needed to gather the power of gold magnetism and earth magnetism to practice together, and to train the two-pole magnetic force into a kind of divine light. After training, the divine light has mysterious effects like a shoal. It can be used for attack and defense, and has endless uses.

However, since ancient times, there have been very few cultivators in the world of immortals who have been able to master this magical power.

Because this [Yuanci Divine Light] has extremely high requirements on the practitioner's physical body. If the practitioner's physical body is not strong enough, it will easily be torn apart and collapsed by the tremendous gravity attached to the [Yuanci Divine Light] itself.

The cultivators who have mastered this magical power either have special physiques that are naturally compatible with this magical power, or they can withstand the oppression of [Yuanci Divine Light] on their physical body and magic power.

Either they have found some kind of natural treasure that can carry the power of [Yuanci Divine Light] and made it into a special magic weapon, using the magic weapon as a container to carry and contain [Yuanci Divine Light].

Stone, the golden-armored mountain turtle, relied on his own powerful body and high affinity for the powers of gold and earth, and upgraded and evolved this magical power based on the [Golden Magnetic Rays] magical power.

In the future, as the Golden-Armored Mountain Turtle Stone grows, this magical power will definitely become its signature skill, allowing many cultivators to once again witness the power of this magical power that is almost extinct in the world of immortal cultivation.

However, the magical power of [Yuanci Divine Light] alone is obviously far from the limit of the Golden Armored Mountain Turtle Stone.

After it broke through to the fourth level, as Zhou Chun had expected, it awakened another prestigious earth-attributed magical power [Petrifying Light].

The petrification power has always been the most domineering and strange power among the earth-attributed magical powers, making it difficult to guard against.

When the golden-armored mountain turtle Shitou was at the third level, he had actually awakened a defensive petrification power [Petrified Body]. At that time, Zhou Chun guessed that after it reached the fourth level, it might awaken an offensive petrification power.

The results now prove that his guess at that time was not wrong.

And since he has awakened two powerful offensive magical powers, [Elemental Magnetic Divine Light] and [Petrification Light], as a mountain turtle that is better at defensive magical powers, Shitou naturally cannot fail to awaken defensive magical powers.

After it broke through the fourth level, it directly awakened the Mountain Turtle Clan's signature defensive magical power [Transforming into a Mountain].

This magical power can transform the mountain-carrying turtle and the mountain on its back into an indestructible mountain fortress, capable of withstanding damage far beyond its own level of cultivation.

The Mountain-carrying Turtle, which once had the cultivation level of a fourth-grade upper class, used this move to make it difficult for a real person in the Nascent Soul stage to do anything to him. After many attempts to attack, he had no choice but to give up and leave!

This shows how powerful this magical power is!

At the same time, in addition to the extremely powerful racial defense magic [Body Turned into Mountain], the Golden Armored Mountain Turtle Shi Tou also awakened another very rare magic [Immortal Body]!
The magical power of [Immortal Body] is a very powerful life-saving magical power, which is often seen in some special types of monsters.

A monster that possesses this kind of magical power can recover quickly from any serious injury as long as its monster pill is not lost and its monster soul is not destroyed!
This is something that the human cultivators envy very much.

This is because even cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage are afraid that their bodies will be severely damaged and difficult to recover from, thus cutting off their path to upward progress.

For example, after a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage has his head chopped off, in most cases it cannot be regenerated like arms and legs.

Furthermore, if the meridians and dantian are severely damaged, it will also lead to the destruction of the physical body and the severance of the path.

But if one possesses the magical power of [Immortal Body], as long as the Nascent Soul is not killed and the physical body is not completely burned to ashes, these injuries that may end one's path will no longer be a problem.

This situation will only improve after reaching the Spirit Transformation Stage.

If one's cultivation reaches the Spirit Transformation Stage, there is no limit to the number of times the Nascent Soul can possess another body. Even if the physical body is destroyed, it can regain a complete physical body through possession, and it will not delay one's subsequent cultivation.

But if one can preserve his original physical body, no master in the Spirit Transformation Stage would want to take over another person's body.

After all, taking over someone else's body always takes time to adapt and adjust, and it is not as useful as your own body that has been tempered and refined.

Therefore, even a master in the Spirit Transformation Stage would want to possess a magical power like the [Immortal Body].

And Stone, the golden-armored mountain-carrying turtle, now has both the [Body Turned into Mountain] magical power that can resist attacks far beyond his own cultivation level, and the [Immortal Body] magical power that provides powerful healing and recovery capabilities. His survivability can be said to be at its best!

Zhou Chun estimated that even if he activated the [Tiangang Thunder Sword] and transformed himself into a lightning sword dragon, it would be difficult to kill the golden-armored mountain-carrying turtle Stone in this state.

It’s not that he can’t break the stone’s defense, but it’s difficult for him to hold on until the moment of complete destruction in the face of its powerful defense and recovery capabilities.

After all, the Thunder Stegosaurus consumes a huge amount of his mana!
Only by transforming into the Moon Toad state and activating the [Moon Toad Orb] to cast the "Taiyin Extinction Divine Light" can it be possible to directly freeze the demon soul of the Extinction Stone!
Of course, it's just a possibility, and Zhou Chun has no way to verify it.

In addition, like Lei Jiao Baibai, the Golden-Armored Mountain-Carrying Turtle Shitou also awakened part of his bloodline inheritance after successfully breaking through to the fourth level and completely transforming into a Mountain-Carrying Turtle.

From the blood inheritance, it obtained a cultivation method called "The Breathing Technique of the Ghostly and Ming Turtle", as well as a secret method of escaping disasters called "The Spirit Turtle's Method of Transforming Disasters". It is a very popular secret method of escaping disasters in the world of immortal cultivation, which can save one's life at the critical moment.

For Shitou, the golden-armored mountain-carrying turtle, if he had practiced the "Spirit Turtle Method of Transmuting Disasters", he would have an extra life-saving trump card when he faced the heavenly thunder tribulation in the future. Perhaps in the end, he would have to rely on this secret technique to successfully overcome the tribulation!

All in all, Shitou, the golden-armored mountain-carrying turtle, who now possesses four powerful magical powers, is definitely the most powerful among Zhou Chun's several pets in terms of combat power.

Even Lei Jiao Baibai is slightly inferior to it.

The mountain-carrying turtle clan is a kind of monster that is even rarer and more powerful than the dragon!
However, Lei Jiao Baibai also has great potential. After all, the Jiaolong clan has a complete heritage, and the inheritance of the sixth-level Jiaolong has almost never been interrupted.

On the other hand, the mountain turtle clan is now almost extinct.

After learning about the magical powers and strength that Stone, the golden-armored mountain-carrying turtle, gained after breaking through the fourth level, Zhou Chun was not stingy at all and directly fed it the fourth-level low-grade earth-attribute demon pill that he had exchanged for at the Huo Luo Country exchange meeting.

Although the essence of this demon pill has been lost, it is still a tonic. At least it can save the Golden-armored Mountain Turtle Stone from practicing for a hundred years.

Originally, the Golden Armored Mountain Turtle Stone was already close to the level of a 4th-order mid-grade monster beast because of the many spiritual creatures fed by the Chongxuan Monster King. After refining this demon pill, even if it cannot directly break through to the 4th-order mid-grade, it should be only one step away. When Zhou Chun feeds the 4th-order mid-grade demon pill taken from the [Earth Abyss Giant Beast], the Golden Armored Mountain Turtle Stone, the first spiritual pet to follow him, should be able to achieve a king's return and once again be one level ahead of the other younger brothers in terms of cultivation, becoming his first 4th-order mid-grade spiritual pet!
This can be regarded as Zhou Chun's reward and repayment to his beloved pet for giving up "wealth and glory" and choosing to follow him.

Stone, the golden-armored mountain turtle, was obviously very happy and satisfied with the reward.

Although the Fushan Turtle Clan is powerful, its growth rate is relatively slow.

If a large amount of resources were not invested in it, and it relied solely on its own cultivation and growth, it might take hundreds or even thousands of years to break through a small realm!

Therefore, it can now be ahead of other younger brothers by a small realm, so that it will not be left too far behind in the future.

Don't be fooled by its silly and taciturn appearance. In fact, it is very clear in its mind, like a mirror.

Otherwise, when it followed Zhou Chun before, it would not have been the most active in practicing.

Afterwards, Zhou Chun did not stay in Liang State for long, and soon continued on his way to Da Zhou State.

Half a month later, Zhou Chun appeared in the territory of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

However, this time he did not go to Tianyuan Fairy City first, but went to the mountain gate of Yuankui Sect first, preparing to use the skin of the [Earth Abyss Giant Beast] in his hand to exchange for a fourth-level puppet with the "Master Qianji".

However, when he arrived at the gate of Yuankuimen and was about to hand in his visiting card, he learned that "Master Qianji" had passed away.

Zhou Chun recalled the last time he met the "Master of Thousand Machines". At that time, the other party looked like he really did not have much time left to live, but he did not expect that he would not even live a hundred years.

At that moment, he could only say in a deep voice to the Yuankui Sect disciple who was welcoming the guests: "Then please inform the head of your sect that Zhou wants to do an important business with your sect and hopes to have a meeting with him."

"Yes, I will pass it on to you right away. Please wait for a moment and have some tea."

The Yuankui Sect disciple who was only at the Foundation Establishment stage quickly responded and hurriedly passed the message to Zhou Chun.

Less than half an hour later, Zhou Chun appeared in the Yuankui Sect's leader's hall and met the current leader of Yuankui Sect.

"I am Qianqiuzi, and I am the current head of Yuankui Sect. I wonder what this fellow Taoist's name is? Where is the immortal land?"

In the hall, Qian Qiuzi, who looked like a middle-aged man, bowed to Zhou Chun as soon as he came in and asked about his background.

Zhou Chun looked at Qianqiuzi, who was only at the initial stage of the Golden Core, and smiled and said, "A common name is not worth mentioning. Daoist Qianqiuzi, you can just call me Daoist Zhou. I came here today just to make a deal with your sect!"

The fact that he was unwilling to even reveal his name and origin made Qian Qiuzi frown.

If it weren't for his mid-stage Jindan cultivation, I would have immediately asked to send him away.

But even though he didn't immediately ask to see the guest off, Qian Qiuzi's expression suddenly became much colder, and he just said lightly: "I wonder what kind of deal Brother Zhou wants to make with our sect?"

"Since I came to Yuankui Sect to do business, I must have set my eyes on your fourth-level puppet!"

Zhou Chun didn't mind his change of attitude and stated his purpose directly.

This was not beyond Qian Qiuzi's expectations. He quickly looked at him and said, "Our sect's fourth-level puppet is not an ordinary thing. Since Brother Zhou wants to exchange for such a treasure, what kind of treasure have you prepared in exchange?"

"Fellow Daoist Qianqiuzi, what do you think of this?"

Zhou Chun raised his hand and patted the storage bag on his waist, and the huge hide of the [Earth Abyss Monster] was released.

"This is……"

Looking at the multi-layered black animal skin in front of him, Qianqiuzi's expression changed slightly.

After staring at the black hide for a while, he looked at Zhou Chun with a look of doubt and said, "This seems to be the hide of a rare monster beast, the Earth Abyss Giant Beast, which only appears in the extreme west of the immortal cultivation world?"

"Fellow Daoist Qianqiuzi has a keen eye. He was able to tell the origin of this thing so quickly just by looking at a piece of animal skin!"

Zhou Chun looked at Qian Qiuzi in surprise, and couldn't help but admire the other party's erudition.

He nodded and said, "Yes, this is the hide of the [Earth Abyss Giant Beast], and it is a fourth-level middle-grade [Earth Abyss Giant Beast] hide!"

Hearing him confirm his opinion, Qian Qiuzi couldn't help but open his mouth and said, "It is rumored that the [Earth Abyss Giant Beast] only lives in certain deserts in the extreme west of the Xiuxian world. It is very good at escaping underground and basically will not leave the sand. Fellow Daoist Zhou, you..."

Having said this, he suddenly realized something and stopped talking.

Sure enough, Zhou Chun seemed to know what he was going to say, and immediately waved his hand and said, "It is not convenient for me to tell you how I killed this beast. You can exchange this thing for a fourth-level puppet from your Yuankui Sect. Do you want to make the exchange?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Qiuzi immediately said, "I cannot make the decision on this matter alone. I need to discuss it with several brothers before making a decision. If Brother Zhou is not in a hurry, you can wait in our sect for two days first!"

He was not trying to deceive Zhou Chun. The fourth-order puppet was a strategic resource of the sect. Even as the sect leader, he could not easily decide to exchange it with others.

The reason why Zhou Chun was able to directly exchange fourth-order puppets with "Master Qianji" was because those puppets were made by "Master Qianji" himself and were equivalent to his personal belongings.

But Qianqiuzi does not have the ability to refine a fourth-level puppet.

Zhou Chun knew this very well, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then I will wait for two days."

After waiting for two days, Zhou Chun successfully exchanged for a fourth-level low-grade wolf-shaped puppet as expected.

Both parties in this transaction are very clear that it is a win-win situation for both parties.

The Yuankui Sect does not lack a fourth-order low-grade puppet, and Zhou Chun does not necessarily lack such a fourth-order low-grade puppet.

Since Zhou Chun specifically brought the hide of the [Earth Abyss Giant Beast] to Yuankui Gate to exchange for a fourth-order puppet, it means that he is very clear about the purpose of this thing.

In this case, even if Yuan Kuimen wanted to bargain, they would not be able to do anything to him.

Once the deal is done, the huge size of the [Earth Beast]'s hide will be enough to arm more than a dozen fourth-level puppets, giving them an extra layer of powerful protection.

As long as the Jindan stage cultivators of Yuankui Sect are not stupid, they all know what to choose.

Including the giant ape puppet he had exchanged for previously, Zhou Chun now had two fourth-level low-grade puppets in his hands.

This item may be of no use to him now, but if it falls into the hands of Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi, two weakened Jindan-stage cultivators, it is enough for them to make up for their shortcomings in magic power and have the possibility of defeating other Jindan-stage early-stage cultivators.

And as long as they are properly maintained and repaired in time after being damaged, the two puppets can become part of the Zhou family's heritage.

After the deal was reached, Zhou Chun naturally did not stay in Yuankuimen for long, and quickly rushed to Tianyuan Immortal City.

Of course, although he claimed his surname was Zhou, his appearance was naturally changed, and he used the secret method of "Thousand Illusions Book" to disguise himself.

Previously, when Zhou Chun was cultivating immortals in the far west, because the environment on Tianhuo Peak was not very suitable for his cultivation, he also took out a lot of time to study and practice this secret method. The effect of his disguise was quite good, not worse than when he used the [Hundred Illusion Pearls] before.

After entering Tianyuan Fairy City, the first thing Zhou Chun did was to visit Zhou Daoyi.

If you count carefully, Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoyi haven't seen each other for nearly twenty years, and he hasn't seen him since he went to Bingyi Country.

At this time, when the two met again, they felt very close.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Zhou Chun talked about his travels to the Bingyi Kingdom and the immortal cultivation world in the far west, sharing his own experiences.

When Zhou Daoyi first heard about the various adventures he had encountered in these two places, he could not help but marvel at his opportunities and was extremely fascinated.

After talking about his own experience, Zhou Chun suddenly changed the subject and said, "Uncle, your Green Dragon should not have been promoted to a third-level superior-grade demon beast yet. This time, I got a third-level superior-grade wind-attribute demon pill in the extreme western cultivation world. You can use it to nourish it so that it can start a sprint to the fourth level as soon as possible!"

"Okay, since this is your sincere intention, I won't be polite with you."

Zhou Daoyi looked at the magic pill that Zhou Chun took out, hesitated for a moment, then smiled brightly, nodded and took the magic pill.

Then he looked at Zhou Chun and said, "Speaking of the matter of sprinting for the fourth-level monster, I also have some news to share with you, Zheng Chun. See if our Zhou family should also intervene!"

"Oh, but what is the news?"

Zhou Chun's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Zhou Daoyi with surprise.

Zhou Daoyi smiled and said, "Zhengchun, you must still remember the Yuling Sect, right? Recently, an enemy of this sect released news that a sect guardian spirit beast of the Yuling Sect is about to survive the heavenly thunder tribulation, and it is determined that this beast has a great chance of surviving the thunder tribulation!"

"You also know that if a demon beast survives the heavenly thunder tribulation, it will receive the heavenly gift of 'Emperor's Flowing Liquid', which is a rare treasure from heaven and earth that will greatly help the demon beast break through and evolve!"

"Moreover, a fifth-level demon beast that has just survived a thunderstorm will definitely have a short period of weakness. Unfortunately, the Yuling Sect does not have a Yuanying-stage master in charge. It is hard to say that this will not arouse people's excitement!"

At this point, Zhou Daoyi couldn't help but gloat over the misfortune and said, "The Yuling Sect has run into big trouble this time. If things go wrong, I'm afraid the sect's inheritance will be cut off!"
