Chapter 136: Promoted to Deputy Clan Leader, the Unknown Secret of the Zhou Family [Subscription Request]

For three consecutive months, Zhou Chun stayed in his own residence to consolidate his cultivation.

After three months of practice, his body and soul had finally undergone a complete transformation under the tempering and strengthening of his foundation-building true essence.

At this moment, his flesh and skin were so tough that it was difficult for ordinary iron swords to cut them. His hand had a force of a thousand pounds, and he was strong enough to lift a cow!

Such a strong body will naturally be free from all diseases and will not be harmed by wind, frost, rain or snow.

Even if injured, their recovery speed will be much faster than that of ordinary people, and they can withstand pain that ordinary people cannot endure.

He could even become like some monsters and wild beasts, who could go without food for a hundred days after a full meal, and during this period only eat wind and drink dew to sustain their body's needs.

Even his appearance had returned to that of a twenty-three or twenty-four year old, handsome and elegant.

This kind of physical body, which has already begun to transcend the mundane world, is the basic guarantee for a cultivator who has established his foundation to live for more than two hundred years.

Compared to this extraordinary change in the physical body, the transformation of the soul is invisible, but it does happen.

At this moment, Zhou Chun's spiritual sense spread out, with the maximum coverage distance reaching more than 860 feet.

For cultivators like Zhou Jiahe and Zhou Jiarui who are in the early stage of foundation building, the range of their spiritual awareness is only five or six hundred feet.

In addition, not only has the coverage of spiritual consciousness been enhanced, but the strength of the spiritual consciousness itself has also been enhanced, and its ability to penetrate underwater and underground has been greatly enhanced.

Before building his foundation, Zhou Chun's spiritual awareness could be projected over 120 feet on the ground, but could only be projected less than 20 feet under the water at a depth of 100 feet.

The effective detection depth of underground is less than three feet.

But now, even in the water, the range of his spiritual sense can reach more than a hundred feet.

At the same time, depending on the different geological structures, the depth of underground detection varies from seven feet to three feet.

In this case, even some spiritual medicines and spiritual minerals buried deep underground will not be able to escape his spiritual detection.

Another benefit of the transformation of his soul and body is that Zhou Chun's ability to learn and cast first-level spells has greatly improved.

He seemed to have become a genius in practicing spells. He could learn and cast a first-grade top-grade spell that he had never practiced before in just a few days.

Spells that were used more frequently in the past can now be cast instantly without any difficulty.

It was clear that I had trouble learning this spell before, but now it seems as if all the obstacles have disappeared.

What's more, there are some spells that originally required the use of difficult-to-pronounce incantations to assist in casting. Those syllables that were previously difficult to master can now be easily pronounced.

In order to verify this, Zhou Chun even learned some animal language.

It turned out that even when learning animal language, I was much faster than before, and my comprehension and imitation abilities improved dramatically.

This feeling is very strange. It seems that he has become smarter, but in fact it is not that simple.

The principle is probably the same as it is difficult for a three-year-old child to lift a ten-pound object, while a six-year-old child can lift it relatively easily.

To sum it up in the terms of immortal cultivators, he has made further progress on the path and is closer to the great way.

The Tao contains everything and accommodates everything.

People who are closer to the Tao naturally understand it more easily and more deeply than others!
After three months of meditation, the Zhou family began the foundation-building celebration for Zhou Chun.

Because the invitation hinted that there would be an important announcement, all the friendly families and forces that were invited to this foundation-building celebration sent as many as eight foundation-building cultivators.

All the cultivators of the Zhou family who were not on duty attended the celebration, even the supreme elder Zhou Mingde was no exception.

This is the first foundation-building celebration of such a scale since the Zhou family took root in Jiufengling.

When many Zhou family monks with a keen sense of smell arrived and saw this lineup, they immediately realized that something big would definitely happen today, and it was most likely related to today's protagonist Zhou Chun.

Sure enough, when the celebration was halfway through, the supreme elder Zhou Mingde suddenly stood up, raised his hands, and suppressed the noise in the audience.

Then he said in a deep and powerful voice: "Dear guests and clansmen, please be quiet for a moment. I have something important to announce now."

When he said this, his eyes swept around the people at the table and finally landed on Zhou Chun.

He said in a deep voice: "Zhou Zhengchun, a descendant of the Zhou family, has made great contributions to the family since the family took root in Jiufengling. He has also demonstrated outstanding talents in the management of family affairs. He has made suggestions and advice to the family many times, and assisted the patriarch in managing the family to make it flourish."

"Based on his contributions to the family and his talents in family management, the clan leader and I have tested him many times and decided to promote him to the position of deputy clan leader of the Zhou family and the successor to the next clan leader."

"Now, please come, guests and clansmen, to congratulate our Zhou family's new deputy clan leader!"

After saying that, he stepped aside.

Then clan leader Zhou Daoyi stepped forward and took the lead in congratulating Zhou Chun.

Next came several Zhou family elders, and then the non-family monks who came to witness the event.

As for the other Zhou family cultivators who were below the foundation-building stage, they all bowed to Zhou Chun in unison and said, "We greet the deputy clan leader!"

Seeing this, Zhou Chun also hurriedly bowed and returned the greeting, saying: "Thank you for your courtesy, fellow tribesmen. I will ask for your cooperation in the future. If Zheng Chun has done anything wrong, please feel free to point it out, elders and brothers and sisters."

At this point, he said sincerely, "I believe that as long as our family is united, no difficulties can stop our Zhou family, and no obstacles can be overcome!"

"well said!"

As soon as Zhou Chun finished speaking, Zhou Daoyi took the lead in applauding.

Then the rest of the Zhou family members also applauded and cheered for Zhou Chun's words.

Whether they heard what I said or not, they should just applaud.

Zhou Chun's foundation-building celebration gradually came to an end amid the warm applause.

After the celebration, the other cultivators dispersed, while Zhou Chun and clan leader Zhou Daoyi returned to Zhongping Hall.

"You are now the legitimate deputy patriarch of the Zhou family. From now on, as long as I am not working here, you can intervene in all matters of the Zhou family, big or small. Just report to me afterwards."

"I am very confident in your ability to handle affairs."

In the Zhongping Hall, Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Chun sat opposite each other, and Zhou Daoyi whispered to him about the division of powers.

Given the relationship between the two, it was impossible for the master and the deputy to fight for power. Even for Zhou Daoyi, as long as Zhou Chun did not make a major mistake, he could always delegate power to Zhou Chun.

For him who now has a goal to pursue, the responsibility of being the clan leader is actually a burden!
In the face of his trust, Zhou Chun also responded seriously: "Junior understands, junior will definitely not let the clan leader down."

This confident answer made Zhou Daoyi very satisfied.

So after a moment of hesitation, he looked at him solemnly and said, "Since Zheng Chun has taken over as deputy clan leader, I will not hide many things from you."

"In fact, my Azure Cloud Python has already been promoted to a second-level superior demon beast, and the opportunity to transform into a dragon has also been found. Once my cultivation reaches the late stage of foundation building, I will do my best to help it transform into a dragon."

"If it transforms successfully, not only will the Zhou family have an extra third-level dragon, but I can also use its power to look for opportunities in the Purple Mansion."

"So Zhengchun, although you are only the deputy clan leader now, from now on, the responsibilities of the Zhou family's clan leader have fallen on you. My responsibility is to teach you how to be a good clan leader!"

what?
And this!

Zhou Chun looked at Zhou Daoyi in shock, stunned by the news he suddenly revealed.

This was something he had never expected.

With his wisdom, he quickly figured out what Zhou Daoyi meant by the opportunity to transform into a dragon.

"The opportunity to transform into a dragon you mentioned, clan leader, could it be the green dragon from Yunzhou..."

Zhou Chun looked at Zhou Daoyi with shock on his face and blurted out.

Although the words were not finished, the meaning was conveyed.

Zhou Daoyi nodded in confirmation and said, "Yes, it's almost the same as you thought. I did get some of the remains of the Green Dragon and the Green Dragon's inner elixir at that time."

After that, he shook his head and said, "It's just that this matter involves another secret, so it's not convenient to disclose it to you for the time being, so don't ask any more questions."

"I see, this junior understands."

Zhou Chun nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions.

But the shock and envy in my heart could not be calmed down for a long time.

He would never have thought that after so many Purple Mansion Stage cultivators had worked in vain, the inner elixir of the Green Dragon would actually be obtained by the clan leader Zhou Daoyi, a cultivator in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

And it seems that the news was kept very well confidential, and no outsiders knew about it until now.

Zhou Chun was naturally curious about what happened at that time and how Zhou Daoyi got the inner elixir of the Green Dragon.

But he also knew that since Zhou Daoyi was so secretive and refused to tell him, he would not be able to find out no matter how much he asked.

I can only envy silently!
Just when Zhou Chun was secretly envious of Zhou Daoyi's opportunity, Zhou Daoyi looked at him and said again: "Regarding the other treatment after you successfully build your foundation, the Supreme Elder has said that he will still give you the two magic weapons, but the chance to help you once is gone."

"Once you have chosen your technique, follow me to meet the Grand Elder and receive your magical weapon!"

When Zhou Chun heard this, he immediately said, "Junior understands. Then please ask the clan leader to take me to choose a technique."

"Then you come with me."

As Zhou Daoyi spoke, he stood up and left Zhongping Hall, walking towards a mysterious place on the Pagoda Peak.

After Zhou Chun followed him for a while on the mountain, they came to a moss-covered mountain wall.

Then the clan leader Zhou Daoyi took out a small yellow flag and waved it, inserting it into the cliff. Then he made a hand gesture and cast a spell.

Suddenly, there was a flash of light on the mountain wall, and a stone door appeared out of thin air.

It turns out that the moss I saw before was actually created by the formation.

Then Zhou Daoyi took out a special door key and inserted it into the lock of the stone door. Then he turned it to the left a few times, and the half-meter-thick stone door slowly opened.

As the two of them entered, Zhou Daoyi took back the small yellow flag he had previously sent out, and the opened stone door was hidden again by the magic of the formation.

When Zhou Chun followed him into the stone chamber behind the stone gate, he saw that in the empty stone chamber, there were stone platforms half a meter high. On many of the stone platforms, there was a protective shield that flashed with colorful light to protect the things inside.

"The things collected here are all the truly precious skills and secrets of my Zhou family. Each of them was collected by our ancestors with great effort and care. They are the real heritage of my Zhou family!"

"We in the Zhou family have seven kinds of top-level techniques that you want to practice, but only two of them are truly suitable for your spiritual root qualifications."

"I will take them out and show them to you now!"

As Zhou Daoyi said this, he pinched his hands together and two blue rays flew out from his hands and landed on the protective shields on two of the stone platforms.

All of a sudden, the protective shields on the two stone platforms dissipated, revealing the items collected inside.

There were two objects on the stone platforms: a golden ancient tripod and a scroll of green bamboo slips.

Zhou Chun looked carefully and saw that the inner and outer walls of the golden ancient tripod were engraved with strange characters, which should be the cultivation method mentioned by Zhou Daoyi.

The bamboo slips were also engraved with words the size of rice grains, which Zhou Chun could not understand either.

“This is a vessel that carries the Dao!”

"The senior monks recorded their skills on the instruments made of these special materials to ensure that they would not be corroded or damaged by wind, frost, rain or snow for thousands of years."

"So don't underestimate these two things. In fact, even if a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage uses all his strength, it is difficult to destroy them!"

While Zhou Daoyi was introducing the origins of the two items to Zhou Chun, he looked at him and smiled, saying, "I'll tell you another secret. The skills and techniques collected here are all originals that my Zhou family collected before. The things that Yu Jinghua left in the Spirit Beast Villa are the fakes that he copied himself!"

"So even though we didn't bring any good things with us when we split up, we will never give up even a little bit on these things that are truly related to the core inheritance of the family!"

When Zhou Chun heard what he said, his eyes flashed slightly and his heart was filled with surprise.

The cultivators of Zhou family were very dissatisfied with Yu Jinghua's attempt to split the Zhou family, so it was not surprising that they called him by his name in private.

But why did he hear the tone of clan leader Zhou Daoyi just now, as if the Zhou family still had some trump card and was capable of competing with Yu Jinghua?
At this moment, he suddenly realized that there might be many more secrets of the Zhou family that he himself didn't know about!
But now is not the time to ask about those things. Since Zhou Daoyi didn't tell him, it means that he is not qualified to know those secrets now.

So he quickly suppressed his curiosity, looked at the two objects on the stone platform with a puzzled look and said, "But I don't know the words on these two objects, so how can I practice the exercises written on them?"
