Beast-controlling fairy clan

The return of Zhou Daoyi and others has given the Zhou family a lot more manpower.

Zhou Chun asked Zhou Zhengyong, who had just opened the Zifu, to take charge of Jiufeng Ridge, and asked Lin Wan'er to go to the wilderness to take charge of the Caiyu Mountain stronghold.

Zhou Daoyi, led by the Zhou family, teamed up with monks from Tianjing Villa and other forces to form a joint demon elimination team, responsible for cleaning up the remaining demon cultivators in Lingzhou and Lanzhou.

Because the Zhou family is willing to subsidize the members of the joint demon slayer team with spiritual coins, and killing demon cultivators can also be exchanged for rewards from the alliance, there are still some monks who are willing to join the joint demon slayer team.

At this time, the Jingguo Immortal Cultivation World has generally returned to normal operations.

Except for the fact that a large number of monks were killed, injured and fled due to the war, which seemed to be somewhat depopulated, all production operations were not much different from before the war.

Each and every Immortal Cultivator family has begun post-war recovery and reconstruction work, and business and trade are slowly recovering.

However, because the population of cultivators was too large, it would probably take dozens or even hundreds of years to return to the pre-war level.

One of Zhou Chun's recent headaches is that many families come to propose marriages and marry off their daughters.

Nowadays, anyone with a sharp eye can see the momentum of the Zhou family.

Therefore, many families want to take advantage of Zhou Chun's success in forming an elixir to form an in-law relationship with the Zhou family first, so that they will have a ready way to ask for help from the Zhou family in the future.

Zhou Chun is not opposed to this kind of marriage.

However, although the Zhou family is no longer short on manpower, it is not to the extent that they can freely marry off girls.

Whether it is him or Zhou Mingde and others, they prefer that the male and female monks within the family digest each other.

A large family like the Zhou family has a bloodline that has been passed down for countless generations, has hundreds of thousands of mortals, and has a relatively complete genealogy for inquiry.

It is not uncommon or impossible for people with the same surname to intermarry and become Taoist couples.

Of course, since they are all members of the same surname, they have been called brothers and sisters in the school since they were young. Sometimes it is even more difficult for men and women to have feelings for each other.

This makes internal digestion a difficult task.

After all, forceful melons are not sweet, and if there is no emotion, Zhou Chun, as the clan leader, cannot mess around with him.

On the other hand, those families who want to form a marriage relationship with the Zhou family must have convinced the female cultivators in the family in advance.

For them, as long as the Zhou family is willing to arrange for the monks to accept her, they can marry her directly.

For some ordinary members of the Zhou family, it seems to be a good choice if they can marry a female cultivator trained by a cultivating family as a Taoist companion.

As long as the female cultivator's appearance and figure are not bad, their personality can be ignored.

After all, the Zhou family is the stronger side. Those girls who marry from small families must be good wives and mothers no matter how bad their original personalities are.

Otherwise, if they themselves could tolerate those shrewish and evil women, the Zhou family's clan rules would not tolerate them either!

In short, because Zhou Chun had too many things to do, he had no choice but to hold a marriage recruitment meeting every three years.

At that time, any woman from the Zhou family who has the idea of ​​getting married or recruiting a son-in-law can sign up for the marriage-recruiting conference.

As for monks who want to marry a girl from the Zhou family or marry into the Zhou family, they can prepare gifts in advance and sign up for the marriage recruitment meeting.

Then they can attract the attention of the female cultivators of the Zhou family by offering treasures and displaying their talents to see if they can make the beauty fall in love.

In fact, this is also a common method used by many Jindan families.

Time passed slowly, and two years passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Zhou Chun suddenly received bad news from Zhou Zhengyong from Jiufeng Ridge.

After taking the Aoki Ape Demonic Pill, the Aoki Ape finally failed to successfully break through evolution by relying on the power of this demonic elixir.

However, it was quite lucky. It did not have its body exploded by the huge demonic elixir power because of the failed breakthrough. It only suffered some backlash internal injuries due to the failed forced breakthrough. It may take a few years of rest to recover.

Did you fail? It seems that it is not that easy for a monster to break through the third level!

Zhou Chun looked at the urgent news in his hand and couldn't help shaking his head slightly and sighing.

In fact, it is much more difficult for a second-level monster to advance to the third level than it is for a foundation-building monk to open up the Purple Mansion.

Otherwise, Zhou Daoquan would not have had a third-level monster beast spiritual pet by his side until now, and Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi would not have only focused on cultivating one spiritual pet instead of cultivating more spiritual pets like him.

Zhou Chun was able to cultivate several spiritual pets to the third level. The main reason was that he followed the right path and obtained suitable spiritual animals. In addition, his own spiritual pet foundation was very good.

However, taking a third-level monster demon pill like the Aoki Spirit Ape to force a breakthrough is purely a risk-taking, there is no other way.

The failure rate is naturally much higher than the success rate!

But no matter what, Zhou Chun and the Zhou family no longer owe Aoki Spirit Ape, the patriarch of the family, anything for their merits.

After all, the value of a third-level low-grade demon pill is only slightly worse than a spiritual item that assists in opening up the Purple Mansion.

Next, Zhou Chun went to visit the Aoki Ape in person, and asked Mu Mei to stay in Jiufeng Ridge to help it recuperate, as a way of thanking it for taking care of him.

And when he stopped by to visit Luo Qingni who was cultivating here, he saw the other party suddenly looked at him and asked: Fellow Daoist Zhou, Qingni has almost researched the elixir of [Holy Spirit Blood Pill]. Do you want to start refining the elixir now? ?”

Oh, will it be fine so soon?

Zhou Chun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Luo Qingni with some surprise.

He still remembered the recipe for [Dragon Spirit Pill], but the other party had to study it for a long time before he dared to refine it.

And even after studying it for so long, the refining efficiency was not high at the beginning.

The recipe for [Holy Spirit Blood Pill] is actually not particularly complicated. It's just that the refining materials are very rare and rare, and Qing Ni's alchemy skills have also improved over the years.

Seemingly understanding the meaning in Zhou Chun's eyes, Luo Qingni immediately explained more details.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun quickly said: Fellow Daoist Luo has misunderstood. Zhou didn't mean to distrust you. It's just that the [Holy Spirit Blood Pill] is extremely important to my Zhou family, and there is only one copy of the material. Zhou still hopes that Friend Daoist can be there. Make the most of it and take action!”

After hearing what he said, Luo Qingni did not argue with him anymore, but just nodded slightly and said: That's fine, since Fellow Daoist Zhou is not in a hurry, let's wait until Fellow Daoist Zhou gets that thing, and then Qingni can start refining it. !”

Yes, this is the best!

Zhou Chun nodded repeatedly, greatly agreeing with her words.

As the saying goes, if a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.

A good alchemy furnace is more precious to an alchemist than any magical weapon.

And the magic weapon-level alchemy furnace can give the alchemist great help in the alchemy process, both in terms of the success rate of the alchemy and the quality of the resulting elixir.

In one year at most, Zhou will be able to set off for Dazhou with fellow Taoist Luo!

Before leaving Jiufeng Ridge, Zhou Chun also gave Luo Qingni a definite date of travel.

In the following year, while practicing, Zhou Chun began to prepare to go to the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Although he expected that it might not take too long to form the elixir, if it was quick, three to five years would be enough.

But don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality.

In case he can't return to the family so soon, some things that need to be arranged must be arranged in advance.

More than seven months later, during a meditation practice, Zhou Chun discovered that he could no longer refine a piece of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his own mana.

The accumulation of mana in his Dantian has reached his personal limit, and it is difficult to gain even an inch!

At this time, apart from condensing the golden elixir, he could no longer improve his magical power by practicing.

Has your magic power finally reached its limit?

Zhou Chun looked inside himself, looking at the golden lake of mana in his dantian, and felt slightly excited.

A quick calculation showed that his lifespan has passed two hundred years, and he should be two hundred and four years old this year.

It has been one hundred and seventy-eight years since I came to this world!

Now we have finally reached this point.

Once the golden elixir is formed, one can live to a thousand years, master great magical powers, and completely reach the upper echelons of the world of immortality, becoming a high-level monk in the true sense.

If he is a casual cultivator, after forming the golden elixir, as long as he is careful not to provoke those sects, he can basically live at ease for a thousand years.

As a family monk, once he forms a golden elixir, the Zhou family will immediately be promoted to become a golden elixir family. As long as he survives in the future, the family's status will never decline.

Even for most of the monks from the great sects in this world, the golden elixir stage is the final destination of their life path!

Transforming an elixir into a baby is something that many golden elixir stage monks from major sects do not dare to think about.

Because only when you reach their realm can you know how difficult this step is.

A simplest example.

No matter how poor the qualifications of the Qi Refining Stage monks are, theoretically speaking, as long as they never give up their practice and have enough practice time, they can basically reach the twelfth level of the Qi Refining Stage and have the qualifications to attack the foundation. Note, it is a qualification. .

But among the golden elixir stage monks, five or six out of ten would not be able to cultivate to the late golden elixir stage!

There are only a few monks left who can cultivate to the late stage of the golden elixir, and there may only be one or even none of those who are finally qualified to take the step of transforming the elixir into a baby!

In fact, unless they are extremely talented or have great opportunities, it is impossible for most of the golden elixir stage monks outside the major sects to cultivate to the late golden elixir stage.

In this case, the golden elixir stage is really the biggest goal in the minds of more than 90% of the monks in the world of immortality.

With my preparation, it is not difficult to form the elixir. But after forming the elixir, given the situation of the Zhou family, I am destined to be unable to help me any more. Therefore, if I want to not stop at the golden elixir stage, I must have It takes a great opportunity!”

It just so happens that I have such an opportunity in front of me now. I must cherish this opportunity, do something big, and make a lot of money!

Zhou Chun opened his eyes, his eyes flickering, and he had already made up his mind.

A few days later, Zhou Chun quietly went to the wilderness, taking most of the adult and almost all mature Sky Frost Bees with him.

As a famous strange insect on the List of Strange Insects of Heaven and Earth, once the number of Sky Frost Bees reaches a certain level, it will still pose a great threat to the Golden Core Stage monks.

Zhou Chun has been raising this group of Sky Frost Bees for nearly a hundred years. The number of bees in the colony now reaches more than 300, which is nearly double the number when he first conquered the bees.

Among them, the number of demon bees that have entered the mature stage has reached thirty-eight, which is more than one tenth.

Generally speaking, in the peak period of a bee colony under natural circumstances, the number of mature demon bees will not exceed one-third of the population, unless an environment is particularly suitable for the growth of the population.

The habitat environment Zhou Chun created for these demon bees was quite good. Not only was the cold environment up to par, but there were also abundant food resources around them.

In addition, he also feeds some spiritual objects that are beneficial to the growth of the bee colony from time to time. In the future, it should not be a problem for the number of mature demon bees in the bee colony to exceed 30%.

At this time, he collected most of the adult and almost all mature demon bees at once, which would have a huge impact on the growth of the bee colony.

Therefore, when leaving, Zhou Chun specifically asked the Zhou family's foundation-building monks at the Longxing Valley stronghold to come here and put frozen monster meat into the cave every month in the future, so that the remaining adult monster bees can bring During the growth period, the demon bees can just come directly to carry food, and there is no need to risk going out to hunt.

After returning to Tuyunling, Zhou Chun went to visit Lin Hongyu again, took back the magic weapon [Wutu Vajra Shield] from his hand, and took it with him.

If the elixir formation is really successful on the secret island, Zhou Chun will definitely not have time to refine the natal magic weapon. Then the green and black flag banner magic weapon he got from the ancestor of the Su family and this [Wutu Vajra Cover] magic weapon will become The most important basis for him to win the treasure inside.

After everything was ready, Zhou Chunming publicly announced that he would be in seclusion on Tuyun Ridge to form elixirs, but secretly he used the [Hundred Magic Beads] to disguise himself and left Tuyun Ridge.

Luo Qingni, who was on Jiufeng Ridge, had left there more than a month in advance and was now waiting for him in Shen Kingdom.

After Zhou Chun arrived in the territory of Shen Kingdom, the two of them met together, and Luo Qingni took the lead and rushed to the Great Zhou Kingdom at full speed.

Less than half a month later, Zhou Chun and Luo Qingni returned to Tianyuan Fairy City after decades of absence.

After the two of them entered the city, they went straight to Luo Qingni's cave in the city.

Since Luo Qingni successfully formed the elixir and decided to stay in Tianyuan Immortal City, her original cave Qingni Residence was given to her by the Tianyuan Immortal City official to live in for free.

This is also a special benefit offered by Tianyuan Immortal City to master craftsmen like them in the Golden Core Stage.

After all, golden elixir stage monks have a lifespan of thousands of years. If they are willing to stay in a certain market and accept commissions from other monks for alchemy and weapon refining, it will bring great popularity to the market.

Tianyuan Immortal City was able to become the number one Immortal City in the Great Zhou Kingdom. A large part of the reason was that they retained a large number of weapon refining masters and alchemy masters to refine elixirs and weapons for people here.

After bringing Zhou Chun back to his cave, Luo Qingni quickly looked at him and said: I will rest in Tianyuan Immortal City for a few days. After Qingni finds someone to find out more about the situation, I will personally escort Zhou Daoyou to Muli. lake!

No problem, Zhou will follow Fellow Daoist Luo's arrangements in everything!

Zhou Chun nodded readily and agreed directly.

In the following days, Zhou Chun stayed in the guest room in Luo Qingni Cave Mansion and did not stay in an inn outside.

And when Luo Qingni went to collect information, he stopped by several shops in the city and took out the fifteen Foundation Establishment Pills that Lin Wan'er had originally ordered.

At the same time, I also stopped by to inquire about the market situation.

Sure enough, as he expected, as the inflation in the world of heaven and spirit gradually appeared, the prices of spiritual resources such as Foundation Establishment Pills in the Great Zhou Kingdom also increased slightly, and bundled sales measures began to appear.

If you want to purchase strategic spiritual resources such as Foundation Establishment Pills in bulk, you must also purchase a batch of other types of elixirs or spells.

This is also a disguised price increase!

But another good news is that the price of the magic weapon has not been affected too much.

Zhou Chun now has accumulated many third-level magic weapons and second-level magic weapons in his hands. The number of these magic weapons is enough to arm ten Zifu period monks!

It is impossible for the Zhou family to use so many magic weapons in a short period of time.

Therefore, he planned to sell most of the magic weapons in exchange for resources.

It's just that with his current cultivation level in the Zifu stage, it is not safe to sell third-level magic weapons in such a large amount, so he plans to wait until he has formed a pill before selling them.

After staying in Tianyuan Fairy City for eight days, Luo Qingni finally finished gathering information and determined that nothing special had happened recently on the Duolan Grassland. She could take Zhou Chun to the secret island in Muli Lake.

But this time when they went to Muli Lake, the demon beasts who took their place became Zhou Chun's two spiritual pets, and the golden-winged tiger and the thunder dragon took turns carrying them on their way.

Among them, Lei Jiao Baibai also deliberately used [Hundred Magic Beads] to hide his true identity.

Compared with the second-level high-grade six-winged flying lizard last time, Zhou Chun's two spiritual pets are undoubtedly much longer in terms of speed and endurance.

And even if they encounter mages from the Multi-Wing Tribe and other grassland monsters on the road, these two spiritual pets are completely enough to throw them away with their speed, or kill them on the spot.

In less than a month, Zhou Chun and the others came to the shore of Muli Lake again.

The water is the home ground of Thunder Dragon Baibai. After entering the water, Zhou Chun and Luo Qingni rode on its back together and headed to the location of the secret island under Luo Qingni's guidance.

Not long after, the two of them arrived outside the secret island.

This is the place. Fellow Daoist Zhou, please ask your spiritual pet to stop!

In a deep water area at the bottom of the lake, after the advancing thunder dragon Bai Bai circled back to its original place twice, Luo Qingni decisively asked Zhou Chun to stop the thunder dragon Bai Bai.

Then she looked at Zhou Chun and said slowly: Is Zhou Daoyou really determined to try to form pills inside?

Yes, Zhou Chun is ready!

Zhou Chun nodded and responded firmly.

In this case, Qing Ni won't persuade you anymore!

Luo Qingni sighed softly, then looked at Zhou Chun with a stern face and said, Qingni just wants to ask fellow Taoist Zhou to agree to Qingni first, and try his best to get the treasure Qingni needs before forming the elixir. To prevent Fellow Daoist Zhou from triggering the forbidden method inside and being teleported out if he succeeds in forming the elixir!

Hearing her words, Zhou Chun also responded with a solemn expression: This is natural. Zhou will definitely try his best to take risks in it before forming the elixir!

Qing Ni still believes in Fellow Daoist Zhou's character, so Qing Ni won't ask Fellow Daoist to take any inner demon oath. Fellow Daoist Zhou, please keep these things!

Luo Qingni nodded slightly, and then handed a storage bag to Zhou Chun, which contained the fourth-level low-grade puppet she had prepared and some talismans and elixirs.

Finally, she raised her hand and patted the storage bag on her waist, and a simple jade charm appeared in her hand.

This jade talisman does not need to be sacrificed. As long as you activate it with your own magic power, the [World Reversal Formation] here will automatically generate a response and teleport you, fellow Daoist Zhou, into the island. Qing Ni is also giving you the method to leave the island. It’s recorded in the storage bag!”

Zhou Chun raised his hand to take the storage bag and the jade talisman. After looking at the jade talisman in his hand, he nodded to Luo Qingni and said, Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Luo. If Zhou can successfully retrieve the treasure before forming the elixir, I will inform you of this first, and fellow Taoist monks will wait patiently for Zhou to come out!

Hearing this, Luo Qingni also nodded slightly and said: Qingni understands, then I wish fellow Taoist Zhou all the best!

That's when Zhou went first.

Zhou Chun said, put the thunder dragon into the spirit beast bag, then held the jade talisman and slowly injected mana into it.

After a moment, the white light released by the jade talisman enveloped Zhou Chun's whole body. He moved forward and quickly disappeared from Luo Qingni's sight.

By the time Zhou Chun's vision returned to normal, he had already appeared on the Bluestone Square that Luo Qingni had mentioned.

What a rich spiritual energy!

On the Bluestone Square, Zhou Chun looked around and was amazed by the rich aura of heaven and earth.

Even in the Yuelun Sect Mountain Gate he had visited, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was not so rich in most places.

But it's normal when you think about it. After all, this is the cave of a Nascent Soul Stage monk.

Then Zhou Chun was not in a hurry to explore this place. He immediately put away the jade talisman in his hand, opened the storage bag given by Luo Qingni and checked the contents inside.

The storage bag contains a fourth-level low-grade giant ape puppet and a replacement spiritual crystal, as well as three fourth-level talismans, including a fourth-level mid-grade talisman.

In addition, there are as many as ten third-level high-grade talismans.

In addition, there is a bottle of [Big Yuan Dan] that can greatly restore mana. There are five pills in total. Taking one pill can restore Zhou Chun's mana by 50 to 60%.

At the same time, there is also a [Explosive Yuan Pill] that can temporarily increase Zhou Chun's mana. After taking it, his mana can be temporarily increased by 30%.

But the cost of taking this pill is weakness for at least a year!

Zhou Chun will definitely not take this pill!

Finally, there is a jade slip, which not only contains all of Luo Qingni's several experiences exploring the secret island, but also a rough map of the secret island and the method of leaving the secret island.

After checking everything at this time, Zhou Chun first identified the fourth-level low-grade puppet as its master while studying the information in the jade slip.

Oops, I have to leave my hometown tomorrow. I did a lot of things for my family today. I don’t have time to finish writing 8,000 words. I only wrote 6,000 words. Let’s record the 2,000 words first!
