Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Chapter 72: The Magical Use of Mucus, Silencing People

Jiufeng Ridge.

But Zhou Chun and the other two returned to their family and reported the results of the underground river detection to the clan leader Zhou Daoyi.

Zhou Daoyi was also quite interested in what the three people said. He asked them in detail about their trip and also inspected the strange corpse of the fish monster they brought back.

The result was as Zhou Chun expected. Even Zhou Daoyi could not recognize the origin of the strange fish monster.

In fact, this is normal, because monsters like this that live in underground rivers are rarely discovered by cultivators.

Even if some cultivators accidentally discovered this kind of monster, they might not make a special record of it.

After asking about the situation and checking the corpses of the monsters brought back by Zhou Chun and the other two, Zhou Daoyi nodded slightly and said, "I understand the situation. Let's put the matter of the underground river aside for now. When the foundation-building cultivators in the family are free, it won't be too late to explore the details inside."

After that, he turned his gaze to Zhou Chun and said, "By the way, Zhengchun, send all the remaining monster fish corpses in your hands to Baiyao Peak and give them to Jiawei. He seems to have made some research results using the mucus from the monster fish."

When Zhou Chun heard what he said, he was immediately delighted and quickly responded, "Yes, I will send it to Uncle Fourteen right away!"

Then he hurried to Baiyao Peak.

Zhou Jiawei is ranked fourteenth among his peers and is over seventy years old. He is the first among the alchemists on Baiyao Peak to learn alchemy from the late great elder Zhou Mingshan, and he has been learning for more than forty years.

Unfortunately, his talent for alchemy is not that good. Although he has learned the art for the longest time, he is not the most skilled one.

However, although he did not have a very good talent in alchemy, he was quite talented in poison.

Zhou Daoyi gave Zhou Chun the corpse of the strange fish that he had brought with him to study.

Although less than a month had passed, he had already made some research discoveries.

At this time, Zhou Chun came with several corpses of strange fish and asked him about the research results. He was willing to reveal the relevant situation to Zhou Chun.

"When the slime from this strange fish is mixed with a powdered poison I prepared, it can greatly enhance the effect of the poison. Even a first-class monster will be in excruciating pain if it is touched by this poison!"

In excruciating pain?

After hearing what Zhou Jiawei said, Zhou Chun was also slightly stunned.

Then he hesitated for a moment before looking at Zhou Jiawei and asking, "Uncle Fourteen, can you give me some of that powder to try out?"

Unexpectedly, Zhou Jiawei flatly refused, "No, I haven't prepared the antidote for this powder yet. If you dare to touch it with your body, I'm afraid you will be restless for the next half month!"

Is the drug really that effective?

Zhou Chun was also a little frightened by Zhou Jiawei's words.

He looked at Zhou Jiawei, who had a serious face, lowered his head and thought for a while before asking again: "Then according to your opinion, Fourteenth Uncle, can this kind of medicine powder be mass-produced? Can it be sold in the Spirit Beast Hall?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jiawei immediately replied: "Although the materials for making the powder itself are not easy to obtain, with the power of the family, as long as there is strong support, small-scale mass production should not be a problem."

"The problem is whether the source of that mucus can be stable, and also the problem of long-term storage of the mucus."

"Because the powder is only effective within half an hour after being mixed with the mucus. After this period of time, when it dries up, adding water to dilute it will greatly reduce the efficacy!"

"And if we want to sell it in the market, we must research the antidote. Otherwise, if someone gets this thing and plots against the Zhou family cultivators, we will be shooting ourselves in the foot!"

After he said this, he saw a look of deep joy on Zhou Chun's face.

Zhou Chun looked at him with a sharp gaze and said, "Obtaining the mucus is not a problem. You don't need to worry about this, Uncle Fourteen. As for preserving the mucus, Uncle Fourteen might try to use a double-layer bottle to preserve it, and protect it by injecting water into the outer layer."

"I don't know about the antidote, but since the strange fish itself is not affected by the toxic mucus, can we do something with its skin?"

Zhou Jiawei was really surprised this time.

He looked at Zhou Chun in surprise and blurted out, "Nephew Zhengchun, do you also know the art of poison? Why haven't I heard of it before?"

"Uncle Fourteen, you misunderstood. I don't know how to make poison. I just happened to see the relevant theoretical records in a certain book before."

Zhou Chun smiled bitterly and waved his hands, quickly putting all the blame on the book.

He indeed did not know the art of making poisons, but he had taken chemistry and biology classes in his previous life. Even if he did not understand the detailed techniques, he knew roughly which direction to apply his strength.

"I see."

Zhou Jiawei nodded, but did not ask him in detail what book he read it in. He just nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I thought so too, so I asked you to provide more materials so that I can do more experimental research."

"Then I will wait for your good news, Uncle Fourteen!"

Zhou Chun said this and left Baiyao Peak with a smile on his face.

Although the exploration of the underground river was not satisfactory, Zhou Jiawei's research results were unexpected surprises. If Zhou Jiawei did not exaggerate the effect, then once he developed the antidote, the mixed poison would definitely be a big seller once it was sold in Lingshouzhai!
After all, monsters are not like cultivators. Many monsters do not know shield spells because of the strong defensive power of their fur, scales and armor, or if they know such spells, they will not cast them immediately.

In this way, if the poison Zhou Jiawei described is really that strong and will take effect as long as it touches the skin, then there will definitely be many cultivators willing to buy it.

After leaving Baiyao Peak, Zhou Chun returned to Baota Peak and told the clan leader Zhou Daoyi about the matter. He mainly asked clan leader Zhou Daoyi to list the matter as a family top secret and prohibit Zhou Jiahe and Zhou Jiahui, who already knew the source of the mucus, from spreading the matter.

As for the other cultivator who knew the source of the mucus, Zhou Chun had already figured out how to deal with him.

Just like that, after staying in the family for two days, he returned to Hongyafang City with good news.

"Great, this is great!"

"If the poison that Fourteenth Brother mentioned can really be sold in our Spirit Beast House, then we can definitely use it to recover the lost popularity, or even surpass them!"

In the Spirit Beast House, after Zhou Jiasheng learned the good news from the family from Zhou Chun, he danced with excitement, his face full of joy.

The store business is not good, and no one is under more pressure than him, the shopkeeper.

Now that he knew there was a way to resolve the predicament, how could he not be ecstatic.

Therefore, when Zhou Chun said that he wanted to go out again to resolve the matter's leak, he agreed without thinking.

After Zhou Chun left the market again, he quickly went to the home of San Xiuluo Guangshun.

At this time, Luo Guangshun had just taken in a third concubine, and was spending his nights reveling in pleasure and trying to have a baby.

Who would have thought that disaster would strike from the sky!
When he saw Zhou Chun appear in his house, he was so angry because his good thing was interrupted that his legs suddenly went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground in fright.

"It turns out to be Brother Zhou!"

"Fellow Daoist, I am here so late at night. What can I do for you?"

Having managed to control himself from making a fool of himself, Luo Guangshun looked at Zhou Chun with a tense face, his expression and tone revealing a kind of humility.

But he didn't even ask Zhou Chun how he knew where he lived.

At this moment, he was already in a panic.

As a casual cultivator, what are you most afraid of?
There was no doubt that his residence had been discovered by other monks.

You should know that the residences of independent cultivators are generally not guarded by formations.

Especially for those wandering cultivators like Luo Guangshun who enjoy themselves in the mortal world, once their residence is discovered by other cultivators, it would be extremely easy for others to murder them.

Now Zhou Chun suddenly came to his house late at night, and the words "murder to silence the witness" could not be shaken off Luo Guangshun's mind.

At this moment, facing Luo Guangshun's question, Zhou Chun just looked at him calmly and said, "I apologize for disturbing Brother Luo's affairs by visiting you late at night."

Then, without waiting for Luo Guangshun's response, he continued, "As the saying goes, a man of integrity does not speak in secret. If Zhou said that I came all the way here overnight just to chat with Brother Luo, Brother Luo would not believe it."

"So Zhou should just say it clearly!"

At this point, Zhou Chun raised his hand, stretched out two fingers and said, "Now I give you two choices. One is to go with me to live with the Zhou family for a few years. The Zhou family will provide you with a good environment for cultivation. The other is to fight with me and kill me here!"

"I choose the first one!"

Luo Guangshun made his choice almost immediately after Zhou Chun finished speaking, without hesitation, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that Zhou Chun wouldn't even give him a choice!
As for killing Zhou Chun, that’s just a joke!
He had heard Liu Qingshan talk about Zhou Chun's battle record. Not to mention just one of him, even if two or three of them were tied together, they probably wouldn't be enough for Zhou Chun to kill.

"Wise choice."

Zhou Chun nodded slightly, then looked at Luo Guangshun and said, "Then I will give you half a night. Tomorrow morning, please follow me to the Zhou family in Jiufengling."

"Yes, Luo understands."

Luo Guangshun agreed and immediately called the concubines and children together to arrange the funeral affairs.

Of course he was reluctant to leave these people, but he knew very well that he had no choice.

We have to thank Zhou Chun for his kindness to have the current result.

Having been in the world of immortal cultivation for so many years, he is well aware of the cruelty of this world.

Killing people to keep secrets is very common in the world of immortal cultivation, and he himself has even been involved in such things.

In this way, the midnight passed quickly, and as soon as the sky brightened the next day, Zhou Chun and Luo Guangshun, who had arranged the funeral, rode their horses to the Zhou family in Jiufengling.

Originally I shouldn’t say too much, but I really want to complain. Since when did the mortal protagonists start to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, including harming innocent people? Although Han Lao Mo is called Lao Mo, we all know that he has his own bottom line and conscience. Unless his bottom line is touched, he will never take the initiative to hurt innocent people! In fact, when Yin Yue discovered the use of the little green bottle, he did not kill him! Here, Luo Guangshun can kill people or not. The reasons will be given in the next chapter. As for whether some people agree with the reasons, that is your business. The protagonist in my heart is that kind of person. You can call me a saint if you want! This is specifically for some people who have called me a saint since the second chapter. It has nothing to do with the majority of book friends. All book friends who read the book with peace of mind just ignore these words!
