Chapter 183 Successfully Joined the Sect, Golden Dragon Hall
The Hualong Sect branch closest to Zhou Chun is the Qinglong Branch, which is also the location of the Qinglong Hall of the Hualong Sect.

Zhou Chun, accompanied by two Qinglong Hall missionaries, soon arrived outside the Qinglong branch temple.

I saw that the Qinglong branch was built on the edge of a large lake. Less than a hundred miles away from the branch's base, on the lakeside plain, there was a large mortal settlement area.

Zhou Chun only needed to glance up at the sky to know that there were probably no less than a million mortals living there.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, please wait a moment. We will go to the branch altar and report to the Dharma Protector for you."

Outside the mountain gate of the Qinglong branch altar, two Qinglong Hall missionaries led Zhou Chun here, and then asked him to wait outside with a smile on their faces, preparing to go into the mountain gate first to explain the situation.

Although Zhou Chun was always nice and gentle along the way, the two of them were still wary due to their guilty consciences, and were always worried that Zhou Chun would suddenly attack and kill them.

So the two of them were actually very tired now, and they didn't want to stay with Zhou Chun for even a moment.

"Okay, okay. I'll trouble you two fellow Taoists then."

Zhou Chun smiled and bowed to the two of them, then agreed immediately.

After seeing the two of them entering the mountain gate of the Qinglong branch, Zhou Chun's smile faded and he became a little nervous.

Next is the crucial moment that determines his life or death!

As long as he can pass the test of the Qinglong protectors and elders currently stationed at the Qinglong branch, he will be able to successfully go undercover in the Hualong Sect.

By then, with his means, plus the support and cooperation from the Qinglian Temple and his family, it would not be difficult for him to thrive in the Hualong Sect.

This is also one of the great advantages of being an undercover agent.

High risk, high reward, that's the way it is in the undercover business.

Zhou Chun didn't have to wait too long. After about half an hour, he saw the cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building who had gone in running out again.

When the man came in front of him, he immediately said with a smile on his face: "Fellow Daoist Zhou, please follow me. After hearing about your deeds, Dharma Protector Peng specially asked me to come here to invite you to the altar for a chat."

"Thank you, fellow Taoist."

Zhou Chun nodded slightly, and then followed this person into the Qinglong Branch Mountain Gate in front.

Although it is just a branch altar, because there are no other forces competing for it in the wilderness, the concentration of spiritual energy inside the mountain gate of the Qinglong branch altar is actually not much worse than that inside the mountain gate of the Qinglian Temple.

In terms of cultivation conditions, it is definitely several levels better than the Zhou family’s Jiufengling.

Zhou Chun followed the Qinglongtang missionary who was leading the way and flew inside the mountain gate. They flew for hundreds of miles before landing on the hillside of a majestic mountain that was a thousand feet high. Then they walked into a palace on the mountain together.

At the top of the palace, a middle-aged man in green was leaning on the dragon throne, reading a classic book in his hands.

At this time, as soon as the two entered the hall, the Qinglong Hall missionary who brought Zhou Chun came forward and knelt on one knee, raised his hands high and bowed to him, saying: "Your Excellency Protector Peng, your subordinates have brought Brother Zhou here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Chun, who was standing beside him, bowed and said, "Junior Zhou Yuanyang, greets Senior Peng."

At this time, the middle-aged man leaning on the dragon throne put down the book in his hand and looked at the two people in the hall.

He stared at Zhou Chun for a while, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, Brother Zhou, stay. Master Wang, you can leave first."

"Yes, I am resigning."

The Wang envoy responded and hurriedly left the hall, closing the door behind him.

After the man left, Guardian Peng, who was sitting on the dragon throne, looked at Zhou Chun and asked, "According to what Envoy Wang said, Brother Zhou offended the Corpse Demon Sect in Feng Country, so he had no choice but to come to our sect for refuge?"

“That’s a reason, but not entirely!”

Zhou Chun nodded first, then shook his head.

"Oh, what does that mean? Is there any other reason?"

A look of surprise flashed across Guardian Peng's face, and he looked at Zhou Chun with interest, motioning him to explain.

"In fact, I have already had a connection with your sect before I established my foundation. After I successfully established my foundation, I was also hesitant about whether to come to your sect to join me."

"After I killed the Corpse Demon Cult members in a fit of rage, I knew that there was no place for me in Feng Country anymore, so I stopped hesitating about this matter!"

As Zhou Chun spoke, he recounted how he discovered the remains and relics of a Dragon Transformation Sect monk from more than 800 years ago.

In his story, he simply changed the location to a place within the territory of Feng State and concealed the matter of the secret foil. The rest were all real experiences.

As Guardian Peng listened to his words, he became more and more surprised, and his expression became more and more solemn.

After Zhou Chun finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Chun with a deep gaze and asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure what you said is true?"

"Do you know what the consequences of deceiving this guardian and this religion are?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately responded with a serious face: "Senior, please be wise. What I just said is true. There is absolutely no falsehood, and there is evidence to prove it!"

"Okay, then take out all your things and let me take a look."

As Guardian Peng spoke, he stood up and walked down.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun reached out for the storage bag on his waist without hesitation and took out everything he had prepared.

After deciding to come to the Hualong Sect, he went to the cave deep in the underground river again and retrieved the jade box that he had discarded and the remains of the Hualong Sect's ancestor monk.

At this time, thousands of "Dragon Coins" that had been stored in the Zhou family, originals of various books, the "Flying Dragon Snatch" used in sacrifices, and a piece of Heavenly Spirit Order were all taken out.

Looking at the ancient artifacts taken out by Zhou Chun on the ground, Protector Peng walked forward without hesitation, grabbed the skeleton and began to examine it.

After examining the skeleton, he took out the books and read them through.

Finally, he looked at Zhou Chun and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, do you dare to follow me to the deputy hall master and accept the questioning of the deputy hall master?"

"Of course I dare!"

Zhou Chun agreed without hesitation.

Seeing this, Dharma Protector Peng immediately applauded and said, "Okay, then you keep these things first, and I will take you to see the deputy head of this hall."

"Junior, I obey."

Zhou Chun responded, put away all his things immediately, and followed Protector Peng out of the hall and headed to the top of the mountain.

The Qinglong Hall has a hall master, a deputy hall master, and three elders.

But the hall master usually does not take care of things. It is mainly the deputy hall master who manages the affairs of the Qinglong branch and the Qinglong Hall.

At this time, Zhou Chun was led up the mountain by Protector Peng and soon arrived outside a large hall called "Qinglong Hall".

Then Dharma Protector Peng asked him to wait outside while he went into the main hall to report to the deputy hall master.

Not long after, he came out and waved to Zhou Chun, saying: "Deputy Hall Master Deng already knows about this. Fellow Daoist Zhou, please follow me to pay a visit to him." Zhou Chun followed him into the "Qinglong Hall" in front and soon saw Deng Hai, the deputy hall master of the Qinglong Hall of the Hualong Sect.

Deputy Hall Master Deng looks quite old, with a lot of white hair, but his complexion is quite rosy, and his spirit and energy are no less than that of a young man.

"Junior Zhou Yuanyang, greetings to Senior Deng."

Just like when he met Protector Peng before, Zhou Chun bowed to greet the person first.

"Well, his aura is strong and powerful, and his foundation is solid and firm. He is indeed a promising talent!"

Deputy Hall Master Deng nodded slightly, and he could tell at a glance that Zhou Chun's cultivation method was extraordinary.

Then he stared at Zhou Chun and said, "Peng has already told me what you said to him before. If what you said is true, then you have a deep connection with our sect. We would like to thank you for returning the remains and relics of our ancestors."

"But you must also know that our sect and the various factions of the Jingguo sect have irreconcilable grievances. They have always wanted to destroy our sect, and they have used every possible means to achieve this goal!"

"So if you really want to stay in our sect and be valued by our sect, you have to pass my lie detector test!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful spiritual pressure enveloped Zhou Chun.

Facing this powerful spiritual pressure, Zhou Chun felt as if he was carrying a heavy burden and was extremely uncomfortable.

He did not resist the pressure from the divine consciousness, but instead knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "Junior understands. I am willing to accept the test from you, senior."

"very good!"

Deputy Hall Master Deng nodded slightly, his eyes sparkling, and he looked at Zhou Chun with a strange look in his eyes and said, "Raise your head and look directly at me."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately looked up and made eye contact with him.

Then I felt my consciousness become hazy.

But soon, the secret technique of "Heart Lotus Orthodoxy" that he practiced began to work automatically, helping him resist the erosion of his soul by external forces.

After waking up a little, Zhou Chun controlled the power of his secret technique, keeping himself in a semi-conscious state, and slowly responded to Deputy Hall Master Deng's questions.

Deputy Hall Master Deng was indeed very cautious. While trying to influence Zhou Chun's mind and asking him various questions, he quietly took off the storage bag and spirit beast bag from Zhou Chun's waist and checked the contents.

Then they were returned to Zhou Chun so that no one would notice anything unusual.

Moreover, he did not completely trust this secret technique, and subsequently used several other methods to interrogate Zhou Chun.

But facing Zhou Chun's true and false answers, he didn't gain much.

In the end, Zhou Chun deliberately revealed his powerful spirit and soul, and took the initiative to break free from the control of his secret technique.

"Your soul is much stronger than that of ordinary foundation-building cultivators. What's the reason?"

Deputy Hall Master Deng looked at Zhou Chun with a look of surprise and asked in a deep voice.

Zhou Chun had been prepared for this, and immediately replied respectfully: "Senior, please understand. Before I established my foundation, I was lucky enough to obtain a Seven-Leaf Soul Core Grass in a mysterious place. Because it was too precious, I didn't dare to sell it at the time, so I took it myself!"

The "Seven-Leaf Soul Core Grass" he mentioned is also a spiritual herb that can strengthen the soul of a cultivator after taking it. This spiritual herb only blooms one leaf every hundred years, and seven leaves means the herb is seven hundred years old. The effect of taking it is much stronger than that of the [Soul Heart Fruit].

Therefore, after hearing what he said, Deputy Hall Master Deng was also shocked.

Then he frowned and asked, "The Seven-Leaf Soul Core Grass can indeed strengthen the soul of a cultivator, but it must be protected by something extraordinary. You were only at the Qi Refining Stage at that time, how could you obtain it?"

Zhou Chun had naturally expected him to ask this question, and immediately replied respectfully: "Senior, please give me your opinion. At that time, the Seven-Leaf Soul Core Grass was indeed guarded by a second-level ghost."

"But ghosts are afraid of thunder, and the pet Silver Lightning Python that I tamed was already a first-class upper-grade demon beast at that time, and mastered the powerful thunder magic of the Thunderfall Technique."

“It was with his help that I was able to scare away the ghost and successfully pick the Seven-Leaf Soul Core Grass!”

This answer was reasonable and Deputy Hall Master Deng could not find any fault with it.

He wanted to continue asking Zhou Chun how he got the Silver Electric Thunder Python, but he stopped before he could say anything.

Because he knew in his heart that since there was nothing unusual when he asked other questions just now, it was even less likely that there would be any flaws in Zhou Chun's answer to this matter.

At that moment, he could only nod slightly and said, "I understand. Then you can stay in this altar first and write down your experiences over the years and give it to Guardian Peng. He will send someone to check it."

After that, he paused for a moment, and then continued, not without temptation: "If your origin is really innocent, our sect will naturally make use of you and will never treat you unfairly!"

"Yes, junior obeys your command!"

Zhou Chun responded respectfully and immediately withdrew with Protector Peng.

However, the relics of the ancestors of the Hualong Sect that he brought with him were left with Deputy Hall Master Deng.

After arranging for Zhou Chun to stay in a courtyard and allowing him to comfortably write down his experiences, Protector Peng returned to Deputy Hall Master Deng.

"Peng, you are the one who brought the person here. Do you have anything to say?"

Inside the Qinglong Hall, Deputy Hall Master Deng looked at the returning Dharma Protector Peng and asked him in a low voice what he meant.

After hearing this, Guardian Peng hesitated for a moment, then replied in a low voice: "Deputy Hall Master, I can see clearly that I cannot find any flaws in this person's words. The skeleton he brought is indeed the one who has practiced our sect's "Secret of Dragon Transformation", and it is indeed a skeleton from hundreds of years ago!"

"The Jingguo factions can produce those dragon coins, books, and magical instruments, but if they can really produce this kind of skeleton, then we can only say that they are too terrifying! They actually prepared for it so many years ago!"

"Yes, the skeleton is indeed real, and that magic weapon is indeed very old!"

Deputy Hall Master Deng couldn't help but nod slightly, and had no objection to Protector Peng's answer.

But he quickly shook his head and said, "But it is also very likely that the person who got this opportunity is from one of the Jingguo factions. That Zhou Yuanyang is the undercover sent by them!"

"Then what the elder means is..."

Dharma Protector Peng looked at Deputy Hall Master Deng cautiously, somewhat unsure of what he meant.

Deputy Hall Master Deng glanced at him and said slowly, "Isn't he practicing a top-level gold-type technique? It would be a pity to kill such a talent, even if he is an undercover agent!"

"It just so happens that the Golden Dragon Hall was newly established not long ago. Does it need manpower to expand into the wilderness?"

"Let's just hand him over to the Golden Dragon Hall. We can also do him a favor with Hall Master Li!"

After hearing this, Guardian Peng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly praised Deputy Hall Master Deng: "Great! Deputy Hall Master, this move of yours is really brilliant! Once he reaches the Golden Dragon Hall, even if he is really an undercover agent, he will not be able to obtain many of our sect's secrets, and can only contribute to our sect in vain!"

But in the face of his flattery, Deputy Hall Master Deng just waved his hand and said, "Okay, forget about the flattery. Go down and do your work. Let the followers lurking in Fengguo investigate him."

Upon hearing this, Guardian Peng quickly responded, "Yes, I understand."
