Chapter 102: The Patriarch’s Reward, Qingshuang Cave Mansion [Subscription Request]

As Zhou Chun expected, after hearing that he had obtained some information about the new members of the Hualong Sect in Yunzhou, Zhou Daoyi also attached great importance to it.

After taking a quick look at the information, Zhou Daoyi paused for a moment, then looked at Zhou Chun and said, "These materials are indeed very useful, but we cannot submit them to Qinglian Temple."

Seeing Zhou Chun's puzzled expression, he quickly explained, "The Zhou family is too small. We can't afford to offend either the Qinglian Temple or the Hualong Sect."

"If our Zhou family presents this information to Qinglian Temple, once the news leaks out, the Hualong Sect will probably kill our Zhou family as a warning to other families and small sects."

"Although your submission of this information will earn our Zhou family some rewards, this little bit of merit alone will obviously not make Qinglian Temple look at our Zhou family differently and give them special care!"

After he said this, Zhou Chun understood.

To put it bluntly, the risks and benefits are not equal, or the information is not useful enough.

"Then what you mean, Patriarch..."

Zhou Chun looked at the clan leader Zhou Daoyi and felt that the other party should have a better plan in mind.

Sure enough, upon hearing his question, Zhou Daoyi quickly said, "Aren't you on good terms with Miss Liu? This information can just happen to be handed over to Miss Liu through you, and she can submit it to the sect."

"This way, you can repay Miss Liu for her kindness in reporting the news, and she can also receive the sect's reward. You can even let her master know about your relationship."

This is indeed better.

Zhou Chun couldn't help but nodded, and immediately responded: "Junior understands, then I will go to Lianzhou in a few days."

"now it's right!"

Zhou Daoyi nodded with a teachable look on his face, then asked Zhou Chun to take out the pills for identification.

The result was somewhat beyond their expectations. Even Zhou Daoyi could only recognize about half of the pills in the black-clothed old man's storage bag. There were several remaining pills that he didn't know what they were. He had no choice but to take Zhou Chun to Baiyao Peak to find a few Zhou family alchemists to identify them.

After spending most of the day doing this, the uses of all the pills were identified, except for two kinds whose uses were unknown.

Among the many kinds of elixirs, there are three types that can improve the magic power of cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining, adding up to nearly thirty elixirs.

Apparently, like those first-level magic weapons, these pills were also public property used by the old man in black to win over and reward new believers.

There are also three kinds of healing pills for internal use. One of them is called "Dragon Blood Replenishing Qi Pill", which is a healing pill that is of great use to cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage. It is said to be made of the rare "Dragon Blood Ginseng" as the main ingredient. It is very rare, and there is only one left in the jade bottle.

That's good now. After Zhou Chun and others have finished their drug withdrawal period, they don't have to rush to spend spirit coins to buy elixirs for cultivation.

"By the way, I also got some spiritual blood and minced meat from the green dragon this time. After I have processed these things in a few days, I will give some to your silver lightning python as well. This is a reward for your hard work for half a year."

In the Zhongping Hall, Zhou Daoyi, who had returned to this place, suddenly seemed to remember something. He looked at Zhou Chun and said something that surprised and delighted him.

Zhou Chun never asked about the result of Zhou Daoyi's pursuit of Qing Jiao, because he knew that if Zhou Daoyi wanted to talk about it, he would tell him naturally, otherwise it would be useless to ask.

But now it seems that Zhou Daoyi has obviously gained something.

And he remembered that Zhou Daoyi also had experience in cultivating the Sky Blue Cloud Python, so he simply did not bother two masters with the matter. He took out the three dragon blood spiritual objects on the spot and asked him about their related uses.

After checking the three dragon blood spiritual objects he took out, Zhou Daoyi asked him to release the Silver Electric Thunder Python and take a look at it.

Then after a moment's hesitation, he said to him, "Since your Silver Lightning Thunder Python is not far from breaking through to become a first-class upper-grade demon beast, you can use it when it breaks through."

"Then you can give it these two dragon blood grasses to swallow, and then crush this dragon blood stone and soak it in water so that it can slowly absorb the dragon blood power during its sleep and breakthrough process."

When Zhou Chun heard this, he immediately kept his words in mind.

Two days later, Zhou Daoyi handed Zhou Chun a large piece of green dragon flesh weighing about 20 to 30 kilograms and about one kilogram of dragon spirit blood, and asked him to feed it to the Silver Lightning Python. He also reminded him not to disclose the matter to anyone.

Zhou Chun was naturally very grateful for this and repeatedly promised that he would never leak a single word.

He naturally didn't know that the dragon flesh and blood and dragon spirit blood he obtained were actually the "money" from selling his own body to his family patriarch!
After secretly getting the benefit in this way, Zhou Chun was very happy and at the same time he was grateful to the clan leader Zhou Daoyi for taking such special care of him.

So a few days later, he took the seized information to the gate of Qinglian Temple in Lianzhou, ready to hand it over to Liu Shiyun.

Lianzhou is located in the northeast of Lanzhou, not far from Jiufengling.

Of course, Lianzhou was not called this name before, but it was changed to this name after Qinglian Temple became powerful.

Compared with the territories of Jingguo such as Lanzhou and Yunzhou, Lianzhou is the base and headquarters of Qinglian Temple.

There is only one sect in this state, the Qinglian Temple, and many immortal cultivation families that have deep ties with the Qinglian Temple.

At least 60% of the disciples of Qinglian Temple are from Lianzhou.

Because of this situation, Zhou Chun became much more low-key after entering Lianzhou, for fear of offending a cultivator by mistake. It turned out that the other party had a high-level cultivator relative in Qinglian Temple.

Because of this reason, the public security in Lianzhou is quite good. We cannot say that there are no bandits who kill people and steal treasures, but they are definitely very rare.

After traveling for another two or three days in Lianzhou, Zhou Chun finally arrived at the Qinglian Mountain Range, where the Qinglian Temple's mountain gate was located.

The Qinglian Mountains stretch for a thousand miles and are one of the most famous mountains and rivers in the entire Jingguo.

This mountain is completely owned by Qinglian Temple. There are caves for cultivation opened up by the monks of Qinglian Temple everywhere in the mountain. Outsiders are not allowed to enter the mountain on their own without the guidance of Qinglian Temple disciples.

If one wants to visit friends and relatives in Qinglian Temple, one can only go to a few fixed places for worshipping and submit letters, which will then be handed over to the visitor by the disciples in Qinglian Temple who are responsible for communication.

However, because the number of disciples specially arranged by Qinglian Temple to receive communications at the mountain worship site is limited, and there are many outsiders who come to visit the monks in the sect every day, if you want them to give priority to delivering your letters, it depends on the cultivation status of both parties.

If a cultivator from the Purple Mansion Stage came over, his letter would naturally be delivered first.

If the cultivator is in the Foundation Establishment Stage, he will be given priority if there are no cultivators of higher levels cutting in line.

For a Qi Refining cultivator like Zhou Chun, the priority of letter delivery would be placed at the back even if Liu Shiyun, whom he was going to visit, was an inner sect disciple of Qinglian Temple.

Of course, if you want to increase the priority, it is also very simple, just add money.

If money can make the devil work, what about people?

"Three spirit coins can guarantee that the person you visit will receive the letter within three days. If you increase the price to five, it will be guaranteed to be received tomorrow!"

In a Taoist temple at the foot of Qinglian Mountain that welcomes foreign guests, an old Taoist priest in charge of welcoming foreign guests gently stroked his beard with his left hand, raised his right hand and gestured to Zhou Chun a few times, then said the price with a faint smile.

Judging from the way he looked, it was obvious that this was already a routine.

Zhou Chun even doubted, no, it should be said that he was certain. If he didn't pay the fee, even if the disciples who were in charge of communication were free, they would not send him a message in a short time.

We have to leave him alone for seven or eight days at least!
Therefore, although he was very unhappy about this pure extortion, he had no choice but to accept it.

He immediately reached out and patted the storage bag on his waist, took out five spirit coins and handed them to the old Taoist: "Here are five spirit coins, Taoist friend, please keep them."

Seeing this, the old Taoist quickly collected the spirit coins, then smiled with satisfaction and said, "Haha, Taoist friend, don't worry, your letter will definitely be delivered to the person you want tomorrow."

"Then I'd like to thank you, fellow Taoist."

Zhou Chun responded and immediately picked a room from the rows of side rooms outside the Taoist temple to stay in temporarily.

Fortunately, these Taoists have some conscience and do not charge any extra fees for the rooms. As long as there are vacancies, you can stay there.

While waiting in the Taoist temple, Zhou Chun watched coldly and saw that many people were driven out of the hall by the old Taoist or other Taoist greeters with a few rude words because they were reluctant to give up those three or five spirit coins. They could only stay in the side rooms temporarily.

In fact, it is normal for those people to be reluctant.

It should be noted that even for ordinary cultivators of the Zhou family, if the offerings and benefits issued by the family are converted into spirit coins, they would only earn three to five spirit coins a month.

Why can the spirit coins that I worked so hard to earn for a month be taken away so easily by others?

Qinglian Temple arranged those outer disciples to perform the communication mission, but it didn’t mean they would not give them mission rewards!
It's human nature to find it hard to give up good fortune.

Isn’t it that even Zhou Chun, who had more than a thousand spirit coins in his pocket, felt unhappy when he paid?
But giving money really helps!

Zhou Chun waited for less than two days before Liu Shiyun received the letter and rushed to see him.

As soon as the two met, Liu Shiyun bowed to him with an apologetic look on her face and said, "The sect's rules are complicated. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. Shiyun would like to apologize to you."

Obviously, he also knew the moral character of the disciples who were communicating here.

Zhou Chun naturally wouldn't really vent his anger on her, so he smiled and shook his head, saying, "Since it's the rule, how can I blame Brother Liu!"

"As long as Brother Zhou understands."

Liu Shiyun showed a look of relief, and then invited Zhou Chun: "My father has prepared tea and light meals at home, please follow Shiyun to the cave to chat."

"Then Zhou will respectfully obey your order."

Zhou Chun smiled lightly and agreed immediately.

Then, led by Liu Shiyun, he flew into the Qinglian Mountains with her using the flying magic weapon.

Because she has her own master, the place where Liu Shiyun lives and practices now is not the place where those cultivators gather in Qinglian Temple, but she practices with her master on a sacred mountain in the Qinglian Mountains.

Therefore, Zhou Chun was unable to enter the real Qinglian Temple mountain gate and take a look at the scenery inside the mountain gate of the Jingguo Sect.

He and Liu Shiyun, who was controlling a magic weapon called a silk ribbon, flew around the edge of the mountain gate where there was a mountain protection formation. After circling for a hundred or two hundred miles, they finally entered the Qinglian Mountains where there was no formation blocking them.

Standing in the air two or three hundred feet high, Zhou Chun looked around and saw groups of monsters hunting and playing among the mountains below. He could also clearly see some exotic fruits and elixirs that were glowing with spiritual light and were guarded by the monsters.

The scene he saw did not seem to be in the mountain gate territory of a major sect in the world of immortal cultivation, but seemed to be in some wild and primitive place.

"The monsters in the Qinglian Mountains are all deliberately raised by the sect, and are mainly used to hone the sect's outer disciples."

"The spiritual herbs and exotic fruits in those mountains are all recorded in the sect and cannot be picked at will."

"Every month the sect will have someone to check these."

In front of Zhou Chun, Liu Shiyun, who was leading the way, seemed to be afraid that he was confused about all this, so she couldn't help but explain it to him in a low voice.

In fact, Zhou Chun also knew this. After all, the former Three Absolute Sects had their mountain gates located in the same situation, though not as grand as the Qinglian Temple.

But he did not explain further. He just pointed to a patch of white mist not far ahead with curiosity and said, "Are those places covered by formation mist and spiritual light the cultivation caves of your senior monks?"

"Yes, according to the rules of our sect, any elite disciple of our sect can choose an unoccupied place in the mountains to build an independent cave to practice."

Liu Shiyun nodded slightly and answered with an envious look.

The independent cave she mentioned was not like a casual cultivator who just dug a few stone chambers in the mountains.

Instead, it is a real cultivation cave equipped with a soul-purifying array and a mountain-protecting array.

Take the caves that Zhou Chun sees now as an example.

When choosing the location for these caves, they will select the various branches or nodes of the Qinglian Mountain Range's spiritual veins. In short, they are places where the spiritual energy is much richer than other places.

Then he asked the formation master in the sect to set up top-grade mountain protection formations and soul purification formations, turning it into a private training place that belonged entirely to him.

These caves can even be passed down between masters and apprentices for several generations, lasting for hundreds or even thousands of years!

Some caves that have been passed down for a long time, even if they are discontinued and there is no one outstanding enough to inherit them, Qinglian Temple will not let them be abandoned. Instead, they will specially select outstanding disciples from the sect to inherit and continue the tradition.

So over the years, there are now more than a hundred independent cultivation caves of all sizes still in operation in the Qinglian Mountains.

In this way, Zhou Chun and Liu Shiyun flew hundreds of miles in the Qinglian Mountains before arriving at the cave where her master practiced.

This cave named "Qingshuang Cave" has been opened for five or six hundred years. It was opened by the master of the master of Master Liu Shiyun and has been passed down for three generations.

The cave is centered on a sacred peak and encompasses three surrounding secondary peaks as well as some mountain streams, canyons, and forests. It is about two-fifths the size of Jiufeng Ridge.

Master Liu Shiyun, his disciples, and their fellow monks' relatives all live in this cave.

All in all, this huge cave can currently accommodate less than thirty cultivators!

And because of the use of a more efficient soul purification array, only five monks are needed to maintain the operation of this cave.

At the same time, with the presence of a Purple Mansion cultivator in charge, even if the cave is attacked by several Purple Mansion cultivators, the mountain protection formation can hold out for a long time, which is enough to support until other Qinglian Temple cultivators come to help.

It can be said that such a cave is the mountain gate of a cultivation family! !
