Chapter 203 Longxing Valley, Liu Shiyun's Thoughts [Subscribe]

In the water palace, as the clams and clams opened their mouths, sparkling and dazzling pearls appeared in the eyes of the three members of the Zhou family.

The fist-sized aqua-blue pearl exudes rich water-based spiritual power and bright blue light.

It is about the size of an egg, but emerald green in color, a emerald green pearl that is full of vitality.

There are also blood-red ones, like blood-red pearls formed by coagulated blood.

All kinds of spiritual beads that had been heard of or not heard of appeared in the sight of the three members of the Zhou family one after another, making them dazzled and overwhelmed.

It seems that each spirit bead has something extraordinary about it, and they all want it.

However, the opportunity to choose ten treasures prevented them from getting all of them.

They have to make a choice among a limited number of options.

After looking at the spirit beads and hesitating for a long time, the three of them began to choose the spirit beads they liked.

In this way, the three members of the Zhou family stayed in Lu Ran's treasure room for two or three hours before reluctantly leaving the treasure room with their respective gains.

Arriving at the living room outside, the three members of the Zhou family sat down to rest for a while before they withdrew their attention from the various treasures in the treasure room.

Then Zhou Mingde looked at Lu Ran with a sharp gaze and said, "Daoist Lu, do you or the Scaled Frog Alien Tribe need anything? Perhaps we can establish trade relations in the future. Our Zhou family will collect the cultivation resources you need for you, and you can exchange these rare treasures from the Longyuan Lake with us!"

Hearing his words, Lu Ran hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "As for what they need, there are definitely some. I myself want spiritual wine, spiritual tea and other things to satisfy my appetite, and those scaly frogs also have a strong demand for elixirs and weapons."

He now lives one day at a time and has no illusions that he can be promoted to the fourth level in the future.

So enjoying life became his pleasure.

But in his current state, it is obvious that he cannot go to the human cultivation world to enjoy life, and he dare not go to the human cultivation world.

If one wants to enjoy the spiritual wine, spiritual tea and other things brewed by the immortal cultivators, they can only obtain them through transactions.

The Zhou family's request for mutual trade at this time was exactly what he wanted.

After hearing his words, the three members of the Zhou family couldn't help but look at each other and talk secretly.

Finally, Zhou Mingde nodded and said, "No problem. If Daoist Brother Lu likes to drink wine and tea, our Zhou family will help Daoist Brother Lu buy all kinds of spiritual wine and tea available on the market in Jingguo for Daoist Brother Lu to taste. We can even find a way to get some spiritual wine and tea that are not easily sold outside for Daoist Brother Lu!"

"As for weapons and elixirs, they are not a big problem. As long as they are not precious items, it is no problem to have large quantities to satisfy your hunger!"

The scaly frog aliens are too weak and cannot grow to the point where they can pose a threat to humans.

Providing them with some weapons and elixirs in exchange for the various aquatic treasures they collected was a complete profit.

Therefore, at this time, the three members of the Zhou family did not have to consider whether doing so would bring harm to themselves.

"That's fine. As long as you can continue to provide me with the things I want, I can still provide you with a steady supply of the rare treasures from the waters that you three selected today!"

Lu Ran nodded and made a promise on the spot.

After reaching this agreement, the three members of the Zhou family did not stay in his water palace any longer and left quickly.

However, after leaving Lu Ran's water palace this time, the three members of the Zhou family were not in a hurry to return to their family.

It has been less than ten days since they came to the wilderness from Zhou's house. If they go back so soon, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.

Therefore, the three of them planned to take this opportunity to survey the wilderness near the exit of the underground river and look for a suitable place to establish a pioneering base.

At this time, Zhou Chun and his friends had already obtained the Hualong Sect's approximate exploration map of the wilderness from Lu Ran.

Therefore, we know that the closest branch of the Hualong Sect to this area is the Xuelong Branch, and its branch is located about two to three thousand miles away from the exit of the underground river.

This distance is not very far, but it is not close either.

With the Hualong Sect's main attention now focused on other places, and considering the fierce offensive that the various Jingguo factions may launch against the Hualong Sect in the future, as long as the place chosen is remote and secluded, there should not be any major problems.

After searching in the wilderness for seven or eight days, the three of them finally agreed on a place.

It was a small valley surrounded by mountains on all sides, a very small valley.

The valley is roughly triangular in shape, with an area of ​​less than 100 acres.

Such a small space would definitely not be enough if used as a family's mountain gate.

But if it is just used to build a supply base, it is completely sufficient.

Moreover, both the geographical location and the concealment of this place made the three members of the Zhou family very satisfied.

It is less than 700 miles away from the exit of the underground river in Longyuanze. Although it is surrounded by mountains, they are not high mountains or dangerous peaks. They are just the kind of mountains that are one or two hundred feet high. Such mountains are everywhere in the wilderness.

Moreover, there are no particularly powerful monsters or large mountains or rivers within a radius of three or four hundred miles.

Such terrain and environment make it basically unnoticed by high-level cultivators, and even some foundation-building cultivators will not have much interest in exploring such a place.

However, there is a spiritual vein in the mountain where it is located, and the main spiritual vein of the spiritual vein is located right in the valley.

In this way, it is the best choice for a pioneering base.

What's more, according to the investigation of Zhou Daoyi, who has a basic understanding of formations, the environment around the valley should be extremely suitable for setting up formations.

If a superior formation could be set up to connect the valley and the surrounding mountains, the valley, which is less than a hundred acres in size, would be completely hidden.

Unless a cultivator happened to break into the valley, even an ordinary foundation-building cultivator flying over the valley might not be able to discover the valley below.

"I think this place should be called Longxing Valley from now on. It will become the place where my Zhou family prospers!"

In the valley, Zhou Mingde looked at this small valley and became more and more satisfied. With his eyes full of ambition, he named the valley on the spot.

Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoyi naturally had no objection to the name he chose.

But there is one problem that cannot be avoided.

Zhou Daoyi said slowly, "The Second Elder is old. If we want to set up a formation in Longxing Valley, we need to invite him over to survey the terrain and draw up a formation plan. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be too late."

After hearing what he said, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun both felt heavy-hearted for a moment.

That’s right, the second elder of the Zhou family, Zhou Chongshan, is about to die!

He has lived for nearly 230 years now. Even if he can live to the 240-year-old limit for Foundation Establishment cultivators, he only has more than ten years to live. And the closer he gets to the limit, the worse his condition will be.

"We will do this after we get back. Zhengchun will take charge of the family affairs. Daoyi, you bring Chongshan here to survey the terrain and draw up a battle formation plan!"

After being silent for a long time, Zhou Mingde made the decision directly.

So the three of them noted the location of Longxing Valley and returned to their family together.

When the three members of the Zhou family returned to the Jiufengling family gate together, all the elders of the Zhou family and Liu Shiyun, who came to the Zhou family to take charge on behalf of her master Taoist Mingxia, breathed a sigh of relief and were sincerely happy about it.

"Thank God, Brother Zhou, you finally returned safely!"

On the Pagoda Peak, seeing Zhou Chun returning full of energy and vigor, Liu Shiyun smiled happily.

She had already successfully established her foundation at this time, so the veil that she had worn on her face for a long time was now taken off.

And the face behind the veil is indeed very beautiful.

With her naturally oval face, willow-shaped eyebrows, and adorned with gold hairpins and jade rings, she looks like a fairy in a painting, ethereal, beautiful and charming.

This was the first time Zhou Chun saw her true face. At that time, he could not help but express his feelings and praised her: "The lotus emerges from clear water, naturally without any decoration. After seeing Miss Liu's true face today, I finally understand the true meaning of this statement!"

Hearing his words, Liu Shiyun's pretty face immediately turned slightly red, and she quickly turned her head slightly to modestly say: "Fellow Daoist Zhou, you are too kind. How can I, a girl of such a young age, be worthy of such a high praise from you!"

Seeing this, Zhou Chun couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Haha, I just said what I felt. If Miss Liu feels it's abrupt, I apologize to her."

After saying that, he bowed to him.

Seeing him like this, Liu Shiyun felt relieved but also a little disappointed.

This was the first time she revealed her true face in front of Zhou Chun, and Zhou Chun's astonished reaction at that time really made her feel secretly happy.

But Zhou Chun's current behavior made her feel that she seemed to be overthinking.

Although Zhou Chun admired her beauty, it seemed that was all he appreciated and he didn't have any further thoughts.

This made her feel a little lost.

There is no doubt that she has a great liking for Zhou Chun in her heart.

It was not only because Zhou Chun saved her and her father's lives, but also because of the good manners Zhou Chun had always shown in front of her, as well as Zhou Chun's own outstanding strength, wisdom, courage and status.

If she had to say that Zhou Chun had any shortcomings in her eyes, it would be that he was too family-oriented and cared too much about his family.

But this shortcoming does not seem to be a shortcoming, but may turn into another advantage.

But now she realized that Zhou Chun did not have any such thoughts towards her and only regarded her as a friend.

She is also a proud and arrogant person, and now her status and cultivation are not bad. Even if she has a good impression of him, there is no reason for her to cling to him.

So after she was a little disappointed, she said softly, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, you are too kind. That's not what I meant."

Then she continued, "Since Fellow Daoist Zhou has returned safely, I will also return to the sect to report to my master."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately replied, "If Miss Liu wants to go back, please help me take a letter to Senior Mingxia."

After saying that, he wrote a letter on the spot and handed it to Liu Shiyun.

After putting away the letter, Liu Shiyun bowed to Zhou Chun without any hesitation and said, "I will go back first. My father will practice in the Zhou family in the future. I hope Brother Zhou can help take care of him!"

"Don't worry, Miss Liu. I have known Fellow Daoist Liu for many years, so I will naturally not treat him badly."

Zhou Chun responded and immediately saw Liu Shiyun off.

In the next few days, all the elders of the Zhou family came to inquire about Zhou Chun's disappearance.

But because Qinglian Temple had issued a gag order, Zhou Chun didn't dare to say anything more and could only use the excuse that it was confidential.

Taoist Mingxia of Qinglian Temple couldn't help showing satisfaction after learning from his disciples that Zhou Chun had returned safely and reading the letter that Zhou Chun asked Liu Shiyun to bring back.

In the letter, Zhou Chun repeatedly assured her that he would never disclose the fact that he was an undercover agent in the Dragon Transformation Sect. He also stated that he would take over the family affairs and would no longer run around away from the family gate.

This way, there is no need to worry about leaks.

As for the fact that Zhou Chun's practice of "The Secret of Transforming into a Dragon" had caused hidden dangers to himself, since Zhou Chun did not bring it up, Taoist Mingxia naturally would not take the initiative to ask.

She had already learned from Qing Weizi that it was not impossible to eliminate the dragon blood in Zhou Chun's body.

However, unless a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage personally takes action, forcibly removing the dragon bloodline from Zhou Chun's body would inevitably damage Zhou Chun's body, greatly reducing his lifespan, and even damaging his foundation!

But Qing Weizi obviously didn't want to ask the sect's Nascent Soul stage ancestor to take action personally just for Zhou Chun.

However, the consequences of a Jindan-stage cultivator taking action were absolutely unacceptable to Zhou Chun.

Therefore, it is better to drag it out first. Once the Hualong Sect is destroyed, the hidden danger will no longer be a hidden danger.

As for the Zhou family, after Zhou Chun came back, he quickly took over the family power from the patriarch Zhou Daoyi and resumed his duties as the patriarch.

The clan leader Zhou Daoyi secretly took the second elder Zhou Chongshan to Longxing Valley on the pretext of practicing in seclusion.

"Uncle Peng, I want you to go to the markets in Lanzhou, Yunzhou, and Lianzhou and buy back all the spiritual wine and tea that can be bought in the markets."

"Uncle Seventeen, you can assign more tasks to the Foreign Affairs Hall to find mortals with the qualifications to practice cultivation. This is very important for the future development of the family, so you must pay attention to it."

"Uncle Sixteen, you will be responsible for contacting the small weapon refining shops in Hongya Market and ordering a batch of giant crossbows and arrows that can break the defenses of low-level monsters. Also order a batch of knives, forks, swords and halberds mixed with some spiritual gold."

"By the way, place another order with the Li family's pharmacy and ask them to refine thirty furnaces of Juling Pills and ten furnaces of Shenling Pills."

"Myna, you guys at Baiyaotang have to put other tasks on hold for now, and focus on refining healing medicines such as the muscle-growing hemostatic ointment and the blood-activating and stasis-removing pills."

In Zhongping Hall, Zhou Chun, who had taken over the family power again, quickly assigned various tasks to the elders and deacons of the Zhou family without giving any explanation.

This behavior was so different from his usual style that the elders and deacons of the Zhou family were filled with doubts, knowing that he must be hiding something from everyone.

However, out of trust in Zhou Chun, these people still did as they were told without asking any further questions.
