Chapter 603: Storms gather outside the Yuling Gate [Subscribe]

Zhou Chun didn’t care whether the inheritance of Yuling Sect would be cut off.

What he cares about is whether the fourth-grade top-grade monster from the Yuling Sect can really survive the heavenly thunder calamity?

If one can really survive the heavenly thunder tribulation, then this is truly a godsend opportunity!
Ever since he learned about the "Emperor's Flowing Juice" in the Far West, Zhou Chun's mind was opened, and he decided that this was the best way for him to help the Golden Winged Tiger break through the fourth level.

After all, the golden-winged tiger now possesses the three attributes of gold, wind, and space, and has already mutated twice. It is too unrealistic to expect it to evolve through mutation and advancement!
Therefore, most normal breakthrough methods are actually ineffective and worthless to it.

This was exactly the reason why Zhou Chun had been troubled before.

In this case, taking "Emperor Liujiang", a rare treasure from heaven and earth, to advance is undoubtedly the most effective way.

Moreover, if the Golden Winged Tiger can break through to the fourth level by taking the "Emperor's Juice", its bloodline qualifications will definitely be nourished and improved by this substance, and the possibility of breaking through to the fifth level in the future will also be greatly increased.

It can be said to be a once-and-for-all solution, saving the effort of looking for opportunities for breakthroughs later.

But before that, how to obtain the "Emperor's Juice" became Zhou Chun's biggest concern.

This item is only produced when a fourth-level monster has just survived a heavenly thunder tribulation, and it is not easy to preserve. It is very unrealistic to obtain it through trading.

And collecting it yourself is even more unrealistic.

Putting aside how he knew where a fourth-order demon beast was undergoing tribulation, even if he knew and rushed over, it would likely be a wasted trip and come back empty-handed.

After all, the probability of a fourth-level monster surviving the heavenly thunder tribulation is no higher than that of a human cultivator transforming into an elixir and forming an infant, and it may even be lower!
At the same time, if monsters in the wild want to survive the heavenly thunder tribulation, they either find the protection of a fifth-order monster king in advance, or hide in a deserted place to survive the tribulation.

For a cultivator to encounter a fourth-order demon beast that is undergoing a heavenly thunder tribulation is not only impossible but also purely a matter of chance and luck.

Most monks would not be able to do anything even if they happened to encounter it.

Since they couldn't attack the monsters in the wild, they could only target the mountain guardian beasts cultivated by various immortal cultivation forces.

However, most of the forces that are able to train mountain-guarding spirit beasts to survive the heavenly thunder tribulations have Yuanying-stage immortals in charge, so they are equally difficult for Zhou Chun to provoke.

In order to avoid unexpected situations and to prevent people like Zhou Chun from coming to ask for the "Emperor Liujiang" such rare treasures, the news will usually be concealed until the moment the monster actually begins to transcend the tribulation.

Or simply take him to a deserted place in the wilderness to survive the calamity without anyone knowing!

In short, under normal circumstances, it seems impossible for Zhou Chun to obtain such a rare treasure as "Emperor Liujiang" from anywhere else.

He could only hope that one of his spiritual pets would survive the heavenly thunder tribulation in the future, and intercept some of the "Emperor's Liquid" for himself to use to train other spiritual pets.

If that is the case, I wonder if a third-grade, top-quality golden-winged tiger can survive until that day!

Who would have thought that now the situation is such that when you seem to have no way out, there is always a way out!
The west is not bright, but the east is bright!
The [Binghuo Divine Crow] of the Holy Fire Cult was unable to plot, but the Yuling Sect gave him a big surprise!

Compared to the Holy Fire Sect which is full of powerful people, the Yuling Sect, which does not even have a real person in the Nascent Soul stage, is obviously a typical soft persimmon.

With Zhou Chun's current strength, even if he can't easily defeat him, at least he won't have any problem giving him a try.

What's more, it is not difficult to hear from Zhou Daoyi's words that this time there may be a real person in the Nascent Soul stage who will take action.

After all, whether it is the "Emperor's Flowing Juice" or a fifth-order monster that has just successfully passed the tribulation and fallen into a weak period, they are both treasures that are enough to attract the attention of a Nascent Soul Stage True Person.

Therefore, after Zhou Chun understood the situation clearly, he quickly said firmly: "Of course our Zhou family cannot be left out of this matter!"

"Back then, Yuling Sect took in the thief Yu Jinghua, who stole my Zhou family's beast-controlling heritage. This hatred is irreconcilable and must be avenged!"

"Now that we have this opportunity, our Zhou family must not miss it and must retaliate fiercely!"

Repaying kindness with kindness and repaying hatred with hatred, this has always been Zhou Chun's principle of doing things.

The seeds of hatred between the Yuling Sect and the Zhou family were planted when they took in Yu Jinghua.

The reason why the Zhou family did not retaliate against them was simply because they did not have the strength to do so before.

Now that Zhou Chun is hard to find an opponent in the Jindan stage, and he has just encountered such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for revenge, how could he miss it.

Whether it is to obtain the "Emperor's Flowing Juice" to help the Golden Winged Tiger break through the fourth level, or to prevent the emergence of a fifth-level monster in the Yuling Gate, he must take action.

After hearing Zhou Chun's decision, Zhou Daoyi did not express any objection, but nodded and said on the spot: "Okay, since you are planning to intervene, I will go to gather relevant information and see what Yulingmen is planning to do!"

"I will also go meet Fellow Daoist Luo to see if she has any more detailed information."

Zhou Chun nodded and expressed his own plan.

However, before leaving, he left the magic weapon [Taibai Zhanjiao Sword] that he had originally used, and the magic weapon [Mountain Shield] which was seriously damaged to Zhou Daoyi.

After Zhou Daoyi successfully formed the elixir, in addition to his own magic weapon, he only used the mid-grade magic weapon [Tianfeng Flag] that he had obtained from Yu Jinghua. His strength was relatively weak.

Zhou Chun gave him these two magic weapons to make up for his shortcomings.

In addition, Zhou Chun also gave the newly acquired fourth-order wolf-shaped puppet to Zhou Daoyi for safekeeping as his life-saving trump card.

Having learned about Zhou Chun's achievements in cultivating immortals in the Far West, Zhou Daoyi did not refuse the magic weapons given by him and accepted his kindness readily.

Then Zhou Chun separated from him and went to visit Luo Qingni's cave.

This visit went smoothly. Luo Qingni did not retreat to make medicine or do other things. She quickly welcomed Zhou Chun into her cave.

"Congratulations to Brother Luo on your breakthrough and further advancement on the path to the Great Dao!"

Inside Qingni Residence, Zhou Chun looked at Luo Qingni, who had reached the same level of cultivation as himself, and gave her sincere congratulations with a smile on his face.

He and Zhou Daoyi haven't seen each other for almost twenty years, and the same is true for Luo Qingni.

The last time I met Luo Qingni, it wasn't long after he failed to achieve breakthrough after taking [Yulu Jinxia Dan].

Unexpectedly, in less than twenty years, the other party had successfully broken through the realm barrier and advanced to the middle stage of the Golden Core.

"Thank you for your congratulations, Brother Zhou. Qing Ni has finally caught up with you."

Luo Qingni smiled slightly and couldn't help but joked.

It can be seen that she is in a very good mood now and has completely come out of the psychological haze of her previous failure to break through.

"Brother Luo, you are praising me too much. I dare not say that as a fellow Taoist."

Zhou Chun shook his head repeatedly and responded seriously.

Then the two of them couldn't help but smile at each other and stopped flattering each other.

Next, Zhou Chun talked about his experiences in Bingyi Country and the immortal cultivation world in the Far West. Of course, he omitted the confidential matters that were inconvenient for outsiders to know, and only said that he had obtained several good magic weapons.

After telling about his travels and experiences over the years, Zhou Chun talked about his purpose of coming: "Now that Fellow Daoist Luo has achieved a breakthrough, we must speed up the refining of the [Four Spirit Barrier Breaking Pill]. It would be best if we can refine it before our cultivation reaches the barrier of the late Jindan stage!"

"Fellow Daoist Zhou is right. However, Qing Ni has used her connections to look around over the years, but she has not been able to find the whereabouts of the remaining two main medicines. If we really want to make this a reality, it may not be easy for just the two of us to do it!"

When Luo Qingni said this, her face looked a little unhappy.

She knew that she was lagging behind in this regard.

After all, Zhou Chun provided the recipe, two of the main ingredients and a number of auxiliary ingredients, but she didn't even know any news!

But she also has her own difficulties.

As a casual cultivator, it was difficult for her to establish deep friendships with the Jindan elders of the truly major sects, because those people naturally had other channels to find alchemists from other sects with better alchemy skills than her to collaborate in alchemy.

As for some of the truly precious elixirs in the world of cultivating immortals, most of them are only grown in the medicine gardens of the major sects and forces.

Zhou Chun understood her difficulty.

In fact, he himself is the same.

That is to say, in Jingguo, he has a connection with Su Yunniang, which means he has a messenger in Yuelun Sect, the largest force in Jingguo.

In the Great Zhou Kingdom, even if he was extremely wealthy and could take out several unused magic weapons at once, he would not be able to exchange for what he wanted if he didn't know the person.

As for the Yuelun Sect, Zhou Chun had already asked Su Yunniang, and found out that they did not have the two main ingredients needed to refine the [Four Spirits Barrier Breaking Pill].

Perhaps there might be some in the private medicine garden of a Yuanying stage master, but that is information that even a Jindan stage elder like Su Yunniang would have difficulty accessing.

So after hearing Luo Qingni's words, Zhou Chun couldn't help but frown.

After thinking for a while, he looked at Luo Qingni and asked, "Brother Luo, do you mean to bring in more people to work together to refine the [Four Spirit Barrier Breaking Pill]? Do you already have a suitable candidate in mind?"

Hearing this, Luo Qingni also answered calmly: "Qingni did have this idea in her mind, but the right person has not been found yet." Hearing her answer, Zhou Chun was relieved, and immediately said with a serious face: "Since there is no suitable candidate yet, there is no need to rush into this matter. It is better to be cautious when cooperating with others to refine the elixir. If you entrust the wrong person, it will be very bad!"

"Fellow Daoist Zhou is absolutely right. This matter does need to be kept strictly confidential. Qing Ni will seriously consider this matter and will not let it slip easily!"

Luo Qingni nodded slightly, indicating that she also understood the importance of the matter.

Zhou Chun nodded repeatedly after hearing this and said, "That's right. You and I have both just been promoted to the middle stage of the Golden Core not long ago. We still have a lot of time to slowly collect materials in the future. There is no need to cause trouble because of impatience."

"Since there is no news about the main medicine now, let's collect all the auxiliary medicines first. If there is really no news at that time, it will not be too late to consider bringing in other people!"

At this point, his meaning was very clear. He did not agree to bring other people in now.

Seeing this, Luo Qingni certainly couldn't object. After all, the two main medicines and the pill formula were provided by him.

So he quickly said, "Qing Ni understands. Let's just leave it like this for now. Let's proceed as Daoist Brother Zhou said."

After the two reached a consensus, Zhou Chun asked about the information of another elixir [Qionghua Yulu] needed to refine [Jade Dew Golden Cloud Pill], wanting Luo Qingni to exchange for another plant of this elixir so as to refine another furnace of [Jade Dew Golden Cloud Pill].

Although the [Jade Dew and Golden Cloud Pill] is no longer of any use to the two of them, its value is still very great.

If one could refine another furnace, it would be great whether to leave one for Su Yuzhen and Lin Hongyu each to assist them in breaking through the barrier of the middle stage of the Golden Core, or to exchange for spiritual objects needed by other Golden Core stage cultivators in the future.

For this reason, Zhou Chun also made it clear that even using lower-grade magic weapons for the relevant replacement would be acceptable.

Of course, the value of a spiritual medicine cannot be compared with that of a low-grade magic weapon. He is just willing to accept the other party's compensation in the form of spiritual coins.

Luo Qingni naturally had no reason to refuse his request.

Even if she couldn't get a share of the elixir, just being able to refine one more elixir of the same level as [Jade Dew and Golden Cloud Pill] would be a rare opportunity for her.

You have to know that it is very difficult for her to make further progress in alchemy skills at her current level. Every time she refines an elixir of the level of [Jade Dew and Golden Cloud Pill], it is a very valuable experience.

Only when her alchemy skills are truly comparable to those of the alchemy masters trained by the major sects, will she be able to snatch market share from the current alchemy masters.

In this respect, alchemy is much more complicated than refining equipment.

At least those weapon refining masters definitely have no shortage of magical weapons and spiritual materials to practice and improve their experience.

There is no way, since elixirs are disposable consumables!
After getting Luo Qingni's promise, Zhou Chun finally talked about the Yuling Gate.

As a medium-sized sect within the Great Zhou Kingdom, the Yuling Sect happens to be the main target of alchemists like Luo Qingni's dealings. Many cultivators in her circle of contacts are from such medium-sized sects or Jindan families.

But Luo Qingni is usually either devoted to cultivation or busy making pills. People who know her understand her character and will not deliberately talk about such things with her.

So when faced with Zhou Chun's request, she hesitated for a moment, then nodded to Zhou Chun and said: "Qing Ni has never paid attention to this matter before. I will reply after Qing Ni helps you, Daoist Zhou, to inquire about it." !”

"In this case, I will trouble Daoist Brother Luo."

Zhou Chun bowed to express his gratitude.

For a period of time afterwards, Zhou Chun temporarily lived in Zhou Daoyi's cave, waiting for more news to be delivered to him.

After waiting for almost a month, all the information Zhou Daoyi had obtained through "Tianzhi Tower" and Luo Qingni's information were delivered to him.

Zhou Chun compared the information from both sides and had a general understanding of the incident.

The reason why things have come to this point this time, to put it bluntly, is that there is a traitor in the Yuling Sect who revealed the sect's most important secrets in advance.

Just like the Zhou family has various enemies in Jingguo, both openly and covertly, the Yuling Sect has been passed down in the Great Zhou Kingdom for so many years, so naturally it has its enemies and rivals.

Naturally, their enemies and opponents are either weaker than them, or nearly as strong as them. In short, it is difficult for anyone to kill the other, yet they all want to kill the other!

This time, the Yuling Sect is preparing for a big move. They are mobilizing all their strength to support a mountain guardian beast in the sect to break through to the fifth level. Then, relying on the deterrent power of this newly promoted fifth-level demon king, they will suppress and defeat those enemies and opponents in one fell swoop.

However, they did not expect that someone from the top of their own sect would leak the information and disclose the matter to a sworn enemy sect.

After the mortal enemy sect learned of this, they deliberately held back at first.

After the guardian spirit beast of Yuling Sect began to retreat and accumulate strength for a breakthrough, he spread the matter widely, preparing to use external forces to destroy Yuling Sect's plan.

Now, the guardian spirit beast of the Yuling Sect has been in seclusion for several years. After taking the spiritual object that helped it break through, it has no way to retreat.

If the Yuling Sect terminates the plan at this time, not to mention that years of preparation will be ruined, the guardian beast may not be willing to give up this may be the only breakthrough opportunity in its life!
Judging from the news, Yulingmen has no intention of terminating the plan. Now it has blocked the mountain gate and completely cut off the spread of information inside and outside.

It was obvious that he was prepared to gamble on the fortune of the sect, betting that the guardian beast could survive the calamity of human killing after surviving the thunder calamity of heaven!
As long as the guardian beast can survive these two disasters, even if the Yuling Sect suffers heavy losses in this disaster, it will be able to make a comeback and create greater glory in the future.

Information about the mountain guardian beast is also included in the intelligence.

It was a fourth-rank, top-grade demon beast [Rock-armored Giant Rhinoceros], famous for its defensive capabilities. It was a spiritual pet left behind by a patriarch of the Yuling Sect a thousand years ago.

This beast has been in Yulingmen for more than a thousand years, and has been hardworking and trusted by all the Jindan-stage monks in Yulingmen. In addition, it is famous for its defensive ability, so it was given the opportunity to break through to the fifth level!
With the beast's profound accumulation of knowledge and powerful defensive capabilities, plus some magical weapons and elixirs prepared for it by the Yuling Sect, the chances of it surviving the heavenly thunder tribulation should be quite high.

"It's a pity that I don't know if there will be a Yuanying stage real person who will take action. If such a being takes action and attracts the attention of the [Rock Armored Giant Rhino], maybe I will have a chance to grab some 'Emperor Flowing Liquid'!"

"Of course, even if no Yuanying Stage True Person takes action, this is my only chance to seize the 'Emperor Flowing Blood'. I will give it a try even if it means snatching food from a tiger's mouth!"

Inside the cave, Zhou Chun looked at the intelligence information in his hand with a very solemn expression.

With his current strength, it is not impossible for him to seize some of the "Emperor's Liquid" from a fifth-level monster that has just successfully passed the tribulation and is still in a weak period.

But if you do this, you will definitely be regarded as an enemy who is blocking your way, and you will face their crazy revenge in the future!

Therefore, if there was no Nascent Soul cultivator who took action to kill the [Rock-Armored Giant Rhino], even if he had seized the "Emperor's Flowing Juice", it would have brought great trouble to himself and the Zhou family.

In order to prevent this trouble in the future, perhaps after he seizes the "Emperor Liujiang", he will take the opportunity to do something more extreme!
In view of this, Zhou Chun also took action quickly.

He and Zhou Daoyi split into two groups, and Zhou Daoyi went to the area near the mountain gate of Yuling Sect and secretly contacted those forces that were not on good terms with Yuling Sect.

Zhou Daoyi went to Jingguo and brought Zhou Mingde and Lin Hongyu to the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Given Zhou Chun's personality, once he has decided to take action, he will definitely go all out!
After he arrived at the mountain gate of Yuling Sect, he quickly got in touch with its mortal enemy, the Shenmu Sect.

The Shenmu Sect was the sect from which the news of the [Rock-Armored Giant Rhino]'s attempt to survive the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation came. Its sect power was slightly inferior to that of the Yuling Sect, and it had suffered a lot in the open and secret struggles with the Yuling Sect.

But no one expected that the Shenmu Sect had quietly planted a spike among the top leaders of the Yuling Sect.

It is said that the person who spread the news was the concubine of an elder of the Yuling Sect, who herself was a descendant of a deceased Jindan elder of the Shenmu Sect!

Now that the Yuling Sect has closed the mountain to protect itself, the Shenmu Sect is no longer hiding and has stood out openly with a clear intention to destroy the Yuling Sect.

Of course, their slogan is not to fight against the enemies, but to enforce justice, eliminate the high-level officials of Yulingmen who are controlled by monsters, and rescue those innocent disciples of Yulingmen who are unaware of the truth!

In short, we must stand firm on morality.

The Shenmu Sect itself is quite powerful. The sect's chief elder is a late Jindan cultivator, and there is also a middle Jindan cultivator and three early Jindan cultivators.

If it weren't for the fact that the Yuling Sect had several fourth-level monsters, the Shenmu Sect would be no weaker than them on paper.

When Zhou Chun came into contact with the Shenmu Sect, he did not reveal his identity as the head of the Zhou family. He only said that he was a casual cultivator who had a grudge against the Yuling Sect and was willing to take action together to deal with the Yuling Sect at the right time.

The main purpose of doing this is to avoid being mistaken for helpers of the Yuling Sect when the action comes. Another reason is to get some information to see if there is any real Yuanying stage Yuanying who can take action.

Unfortunately, judging from the results of several contacts, the Shenmu Sect did not seem to be able to invite a Yuanying stage immortal.

However, I did learn another piece of information that is worth noting. The [Rock-Armored Giant Rhinoceros] from the Yuling Sect should be facing the heavenly thunder tribulation in one or two years at most!

Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for Zhou Chun to leave the vicinity of the Yulingmen Mountain Gate to look for other helpers.

He could only meet up with Lin Hongyu and Zhou Mingde who had already arrived, and wait for the opportunity to take action.

As for Zhou Daoyi, he needs to disguise himself as Zhou Mingde and stay in the Zhou family, so it is not convenient for him to join this action.

After all, he was nominally a person who had been declared dead by the Zhou family, and he also had a network of connections that he had worked hard to build up in Tianyuan Fairy City.

Time passed slowly, and soon the three members of the Zhou family had been hiding in the mountains near Yuling Gate for more than a year.

During this period, as the news spread, more and more immortal cultivators came to the Yuling Gate to join in the fun, including many Jindan stage cultivators.

This is naturally good news for Zhou Chun.

The more chaotic the situation becomes, the less likely it will be for him to attract attention if he takes action.

Until this day, a sudden strong wind blew up above the gate of Yulingmen Mountain and thunderclouds gathered. Zhou Chun knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally arrived.
