Beast-controlling fairy clan

Thanks to Zhou Jiapeng's advice, Zhou Chun had half a year to prepare in advance.

He first went to Baozhi Peak's peak master Zhou Jiahe to inquire about the relevant rules of the martial arts competition.

Soon I learned from him that in general, such martial arts competitions for the purpose of testing junior monks are either not allowed to use magic charms, or there are restrictions on the number and grade of magic charms used.

As for spiritual pets, there will definitely be no restrictions, otherwise even magic weapons will be restricted from use.

Therefore, if you want to get a good ranking in this kind of martial arts competition, in addition to your own cultivation level, you must also work hard on magical weapons, spiritual pets, and spell cultivation.

Zhou Chun's current magical equipment configuration is actually quite good, and it is considered to be at the top among Zhou family's middle-stage Qi refining monks, but it cannot be said to have much advantage.

As for magic training, registration for the youth group is limited to monks under the age of thirty. Everyone is about the same age, so the difference is probably not too big.

If you really meet someone who is talented in spell cultivation, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck.

Needless to say, there is no need to talk about spiritual pets. Unless the Zhou family is a family that inherits the art of controlling beasts, it is impossible for most monks in the Qi refining period to be able to raise spiritual pets and raise them well.

So Zhou Chun thought about it, and in addition to making sure that he was promoted to the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage before participating in the martial arts competition, he also wanted to try to get himself a first-level high-grade magic weapon.

In this case, as long as the top ten in the youth group are not all monks above the tenth level of Qi refining stage, he should have a good chance of entering.

To get a first-level high-grade magic weapon, Zhou Chun had only two options. One was to buy it in Hongyafang City, and the other was to exchange it from his family.

Although the Zhou family currently does not issue spiritual coins to clan members as welfare offerings, the family's good deeds distributed every year can still be exchanged for things from the family treasury.

However, first-level high-grade magic weapons are extremely precious, and the market price is at least three hundred spirit coins.

The Zhou family has implemented the system of good deeds for just over two years. As an ordinary clan member, Zhou Chun only receives twenty points of good deeds as welfare offerings each year.

In this way, even if he counts the good deeds he obtained from his previous trip to Heart Ridge, it is far from enough to exchange for a first-level high-grade magic weapon.

Fortunately, even if his good deeds are not enough to redeem, he can still use spiritual coins to make up for the shortfall.

So Zhou Chun checked his net worth and found that thanks to the compensation he received from the previous trip to the Mu family, he still had nearly 80 spiritual coins on him.

In this case, he only needs to collect another hundred or so spiritual coins, and he can exchange it for a first-class high-grade magic weapon from the family treasury.

As for how to collect a hundred spirit coins, Zhou Chun's first thought was to borrow money.

Ordinary people think this way when they don’t have enough money to buy something necessary.

But after Zhou Chun thought about all the people he could borrow money from, he hesitated again.

There are actually not many monks in the Zhou family who have such a good relationship with him that they can borrow money.

It seems that those few monks who can lend him money can sign up to participate in this martial arts competition.

If Zhou Chun goes to borrow money from them now, unless they don't plan to participate in the event, it seems that whether they borrow it or not, it will affect the relationship between both parties.

Let's get to the bottom of it first and tell them the news first. If they are going to participate, then don't ask to borrow money.

Zhou Chun thought of this and immediately started visiting one by one.

The result was as he expected. After learning that the five immortal cultivating families were going to jointly hold a martial arts competition, Zhou Zhengyong and several others expressed their intention to sign up to participate and bring honor to their families.

There were two people who were not prepared to sign up because they were too old or knew that their cultivation level was low.

But when Zhou Chun talked about borrowing money, the two of them worked together and could only get him less than thirty spiritual coins.

It turned out to be their own spiritual coins, which they had previously used to buy elixirs and other items.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun was too embarrassed to take out all the remaining emergency spiritual coins they had, so he gave up the idea of ​​borrowing money.

Since the family could no longer borrow spirit coins, Zhou Chun had no choice but to go to Fangshi.

He has several magic weapons that can be sold in the market and exchanged for spirit coins. If he takes a little more risk and purifies a hundred-year-old elixir with purifying spirit water and sells it, the gap of more than a hundred spirit coins can be completely filled. .

After making up his mind, Zhou Chun began to practice with peace of mind, preparing to go to Fangshi to implement the plan after his cultivation reached the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage.

Almost a month later, all members of the Zhou family were finally officially notified of the joint martial arts competition held by the five major families, and the relevant rules were announced.

According to the rules, all monks participating in martial arts competitions can only bring five talismans to the venue for each battle, and they are only allowed to bring one first-level high-grade talisman.

Each family and each group can only send ten people to participate in this martial arts competition.

In other words, even if all qualified monks from the Zhou family sign up, they can only send a total of twenty family members from the elite group and youth group to participate.

Because of this restriction, a trial competition must be held within the Zhou family first.

The time for the tryouts has also been set, one month before the official start of the event.

With the announcement of this news, those monks in the Zhou family who were eligible to participate in the event were gearing up to prepare for the war.

Any Zhou family monk with some sense knows that this joint event of the five major families will be an important performance for the Zhou family after they establish themselves in the world of immortality in Lanzhou, Jingguo.

If they can represent the Zhou family and achieve good rankings in the event, they will not only be able to win the prizes prepared by the five major families for the event, but also gain the favor of the clan leaders and elders, which will bring countless benefits in the future.

In this case, Zhou Chun soon learned some very bad news for him.

That is the remaining first-level high-grade magic weapons in the family treasury. Most of them have been replaced, and the remaining few are the kind of goods that no one wants.

It seems that the family has no hope. Now we can only find a solution from Fangshi.

With a gloomy look in his eyes, Zhou Chun couldn't help but shook his head and gave up his plan to exchange the magic weapon from his family.

Time passed slowly, and when Zhou Chun took the eighth [Chunyang Pill], his cultivation finally broke through to the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage as expected.

At this time, his twenty-fourth birthday had just passed less than two months.

A twenty-four-year-old eighth-level monk in the Qi refining stage, his cultivation speed is considered to be relatively fast among the many members of the Zhou family.

Zhou Zhengyong, who is several years older than Zhou Chun, has just broken through to the eighth level of the Qi Refining stage, and he also relied on the help of pills to break through.

However, after taking the [Blood Spirit Pill], Zhou Zhengyong's spiritual pet red-tailed monkey has been successfully promoted to a first-class high-grade monster, and its strength has greatly increased.

After Zhou Chun's Rock Turtle had consumed all three bottles of [Beast Spirit Pills], his cultivation was now comparable to his master.

If he only relied on his eighth-level cultivation in the Qi-refining stage and a first-level mid-level monster rock turtle, facing the late-stage Qi-refining monks from other families who participated in the fighting competition, Zhou Chun's chances of winning were really low.

After all, the late-stage Qi-refining monks from other families participating in martial arts competitions will definitely have first-class high-grade magic weapons in their hands.

In view of this, after his cultivation reached the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage, Zhou Chun went to Baota Peak to meet the clan leader Zhou Daoyi and made it clear that he was going to Hongyafang City.

There are a lot of people outside Hongyafang City, and gangsters are rampant. If Zhengchun wants to go to Hongyafang City, it's best to find someone to accompany you. You should also be more careful when you come out, so as not to be followed or ambushed.

In the Zhongping Hall, Zhou Daoyi looked at Zhou Chun in front of him and pondered for a while, but still did not refuse his application to go out. He just warned him to be careful when going out.

After listening to his words, Zhou Chun also responded solemnly: The younger generation must bear in mind the patriarch's teachings.

Then he left Jiufeng Ridge and rushed towards Hongyafang City.

Zhou Chun would naturally not ignore Zhou Daoyi's warning, but what he was going to do this time was really not suitable for a Zhou family monk to follow him.

After he left Jiufeng Ridge about a hundred miles away, he changed his clothes, took out his flying magic weapon and started on his way.

In this way, every time he flew one or two hundred miles, Zhou Chun would stop and meditate for an hour to recover his mana.

After spending most of a day like this, Zhou Chun arrived outside the Hongyan Mountains.

He stood on the outskirts of the mountain range, looking in the direction of Hongyafang City, and couldn't help but think of the first time he came here more than three years ago.

When he went to Fangshi, he was frightened every step of the way. He was extremely frightened.

But this time, that situation will definitely not happen again!

Zhou Chun first found a place to meditate to recover his mana. After his mana was completely restored, he drank a large mouthful of purifying spiritual water, flew the flying magic weapon to an altitude of more than 300 feet, and then held up the shield. It flew directly towards the location of Hongyafang City.

This move undoubtedly exposed him to the sight of many immortal cultivators in the mountains below.

But once they saw the flying height, the bandit cultivators gave up the idea of ​​taking action.

At such a high flying altitude, they would not be able to lock on to the target and would expose their location.

Moreover, people who possess flying magic weapons will be somewhat wary of their origins and will not act rashly.

In this way, until Zhou Chun flew to the outside of Hongyafang City and landed, he never encountered any attack.
