Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Chapter 17 Mysterious Beast Egg, Qi Refining Level

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, this time it was thanks to your sharp eyes and miraculous hands that you promptly identified the cause and found the antidote, thus preventing our Mu family from suffering a huge loss. For this favor, our Mu family is extremely grateful."

"So the clan leader specially gave this thing to you as a thank you to you, so please accept it."

In Zhou Chun's residence, after Mu Yunshan came to visit, he first expressed his gratitude again for his miraculous detoxification, and then put the reward gift that the head of the Mu family asked him to bring on the table, asking Zhou Chun to accept it.

"This is……"

Zhou Chun looked at the jade box on the table and looked at Mu Yunshan with suspicion.

"It contains an egg of a strange beast. I received it from my shop in the Mu Family Market a few years ago. It is said to be the egg of some kind of demon snake."

"But over the past few years, my Mu family has tried many methods and asked many people to look at it, but none of them could identify the specific origin of this thing, let alone hatch it."

"After hearing about Fellow Daoist Zhou's miraculous detoxification, the clan leader thought that since your family is a family of beastmen, there might be a way to hatch it. Therefore, he asked me to bring this thing to you as a gift. I hope you can help my Mu family solve this mystery in the future."

Mu Yunshan smiled slightly and explained to Zhou Chun the origin of the gift, then motioned for Zhou Chun to open the jade box and take a look.

After hearing his words, Zhou Chun's curiosity was aroused. He immediately reached out to open the jade box and took out the so-called snake eggs inside.

The snake egg was oval in shape, half a foot long and nearly three inches wide. It was white all over and weighed nearly two kilograms.

Judging from its size and weight alone, it must be a monster egg.

Zhou Chun rubbed the surface of the snake egg with his palm and found that the eggshell was extremely hard and rough, not as soft and smooth as ordinary snake eggs.

In front of Mu Yunshan, he used several methods to observe the snake egg. The result was that apart from being able to confirm that it was a living egg, he had no way of telling what kind of demon snake it was. He couldn't even be sure that it was a snake egg.

This situation is also very rare.

Because generally speaking, only the eggs that have just been laid will not be able to tell what kind of creature they are because the embryo inside has not yet formed, and at the same time, it is impossible to make a contract.

But since this egg has been stored in the Mu family for several years, it is impossible that an embryo has not formed yet. After all, the Mu family has never used any secret method to seal the vitality of this egg.

But it is not a lifeless dead egg!
"I can't tell. Please forgive me for my poor eyesight. This is the first time I've encountered or heard of such a strange thing. Maybe after I return to the family, I can consult a few elders and clan leaders, and then I may be able to see the problem."

Zhou Chun shook his head, smiled bitterly, and put the snake egg in his hand back into the jade box.

His reaction made Mu Yunshan somewhat disappointed, but he also felt it was normal.

After all, the Mu family invited several Purple Mansion Stage cultivators to identify the egg, but none of them could figure out the origin of the egg.

Speaking of which, after receiving this egg, the Mu family initially thought they had found a treasure, and believed that this egg was most likely the egg of some intermediate or even high-level monster.

However, after many people were asked to identify the egg without any results and the egg showed no changes, the top leaders of the Mu family almost forgot about it.

If the head of the Mu family had not thought of giving Zhou Chun a suitable gift as a reward this time, he might not have remembered this item.

Therefore, Mu Yunshan quickly calmed down his emotions, smiled and bowed to Zhou Chunyi, saying: "Then I wish you that you can hatch this thing and get a good pet in the future. I have to go back to report to the clan leader, so I will take my leave first."

"I'll see you off, Brother Mu."

Zhou Chun said this, and stood up and personally escorted Mu Yunshan out the door. Then he closed the door and returned to the room to continue pondering and studying the snake egg.

However, he studied the snake eggs for three days without any clue. In the end, he gave up the idea of ​​researching it and put it into the storage bag.

Because Zhou Chun showed very professional ability in detoxifying the [Ink Scale Horse], his status in the eyes of the Mu family cultivators was significantly improved.

Not only did several Mu family monks treat him with great respect during lectures, but other Mu family monks would also smile kindly and greet him when they saw him, and some even came to him to buy the Zhou family's secret snake repellent ointment and animal repellent powder.

Zhou Chun was naturally very happy about this. The method of making snake repellent cream and animal repellent powder was no secret in the Zhou family, and ordinary clan members could also get access to it.

Only the spirit pet emergency pills like the one he fed to [Ink Scale Horse] that day were the Zhou family's real secret medicine. Even ordinary core members of the family had no chance to access the prescription.

The bottle in his hand was given to him by the clan leader Zhou Daoyi before he arrived at the Mu family in order to prevent any special situations.

Zhou Chun also kept in mind the fact that the Mu family monks were looking to buy snake-repellent ointment and animal-repellent powder. When he sent a letter to the clan leader Zhou Daoyi to report the situation, he specifically brought it up and suggested that the Zhou family could sell large quantities of these items in the market in the future to earn spirit coins.

Zhou Daoyi adopted this suggestion and wrote a letter to commend Zhou Chun. He was very satisfied with his performance in the Mu family and said that he would reward him handsomely when he returned to the family after his term expired.

Time passed day by day, and soon one year and two months had passed since Zhou Chun came to the Mu family in Biyun Mountain.

One morning, as he was meditating facing the rising sun, he heard a soft "pop" sound in his body again, and another acupoint was opened.

With the opening of the fifty-fourth acupoint, Zhou Chun's cultivation level also broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, and his magic power was further increased.

"I'm already at the seventh level of Qi Refining. If I continue like this, even if I just practice step by step, as long as I don't encounter a bottleneck in my practice, I should have a great chance of practicing to the twelfth level of Qi Refining before I'm fifty!"

In the yard, Zhou Chun opened his eyes after finishing his practice, feeling the increased magic power in his body, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

He has been in this world for more than two years and has completely adapted to his current life of cultivating immortals and is enjoying it.

He meditated and refined his energy every day, feeling the gradual increase in his magical powers. He then practiced a few spells and used various methods to test the limits of the spells.

Occasionally he would tease the stupid rock turtle, or chat with other cultivators, exchange ideas on the special uses of various spells, and argue about which Jindan stage cultivator was more powerful.

In his previous life, he could only dream of such a fulfilling and leisurely life.

No need to work 996 every day, no need to worry about annoying things like mortgage, car loan, and bride price. Say goodbye to all the worries. Life will be so great.

"What a shame, what a shame. It would be great if days like this could continue forever!"

How he wished that this leisurely life could continue forever.

But he knew in his heart that it was impossible.

There is no such thing as a peaceful life. It's just that someone is carrying the burden for him.

After three years, when you return to the Zhou family, let alone other trivial tasks, at least no one can escape the task of guarding Jingling Pavilion.

If you want to spend your free time drinking tea, playing chess and chatting every day like you do now, that would be a dream.

“Well, it’s not impossible actually. As long as I can successfully build my foundation and become a family elder, I can be exempted from all chores!”

Thinking of this, Zhou Chun couldn't help but laugh.

Because he suddenly thought of something interesting.

In this world, many cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage were around fifty or sixty years old when they broke through the Stage, which seemed to be the same as his retirement age in his previous life.

However, once a cultivator successfully builds his foundation, it is not just as simple as being able to enjoy life in peace, but he can also gain an extra hundred years of lifespan out of thin air. This benefit is unmatched by any level of retirement benefits.

"If you don't work hard when you are young, you will regret it when you are old. It seems that I have to work hard too. Even if it is just for a good retirement life after building the foundation, I have to fight for it!"

Zhou Chun muttered to himself, then turned and went into the house to make breakfast.

Trying to make every meal well is also a kind of effort!
