Chapter 204: Hundred Races Conference [Subscription Request]

The Zhou family is rich now.

Thanks to Zhou Chun’s previous reform measures, and the fact that large-scale breeding in the zoo is gradually getting on the right track, the Zhou family’s income is now increasing year by year.

And seeing that the family is becoming more prosperous and powerful every year, and more and more foundation-building monks are emerging, the Zhou family members are becoming more and more confident in the family, and their motivation to save money is also increasing.

Many people have begun to accumulate family merits, hoping that one day they will be able to accumulate 5,000 points of family merits to become the foundation-building seed of the family.

The increasingly powerful family also gave some Zhou family cultivators the confidence to step out of their homes and go out to look for their own opportunities.

In this way, the income is increasing, but the expenses are decreasing. The Zhou family now has tens of thousands of spirit coins accumulated in their account.

So Zhou Chun dared to spend money lavishly at this time.

Moreover, this money only leaves the Zhou family temporarily. Once the things purchased with the money are exchanged from Lu Ran for a large number of spiritual objects produced in Longyuanze, the money can be doubled back.

But just when Zhou Chun was preparing to make a big move, an unusual piece of news suddenly made him sense a crisis.

But on this day, the Zhou family and many immortal cultivation families in Jingguo suddenly received a piece of news that the three major sects in Jingguo were preparing to hold a "Hundred Races Conference" in Yunzhou, and would also hold a grand trade fair and auction afterwards.

This so-called "Conference of a Hundred Clans", as the name suggests, is to allow all the immortal cultivation families in Jingguo to select the top thirty families through martial arts competitions.

It is said that the immortal cultivation families that rank among the top 30 families will be able to obtain benefits that other families cannot achieve.

As soon as the news came out, it quickly sparked heated discussions throughout the Yasukuni Shrine.

After Zhou Chun learned the news, he immediately went to Zhou Mingde's cave on the top of the mountain to find the supreme elder to discuss the matter.

"Now that Daoyi is not here, Zhengchun, tell me what you think of this Hundred Clans Conference?"

Inside the cave, Zhou Mingde was slightly surprised when he learned the news of the "Conference of a Hundred Races" from Zhou Chun, and then immediately asked him for his opinion.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun said without hesitation: "I think this so-called Hundred Races Conference should be a mobilization meeting!"

"The three major sects suddenly jointly held this kind of conference. Obviously, they have already reached an agreement on the expedition against the Hualong Sect. Now they are preparing to hold a mobilization meeting to mobilize the Jingguo monks to participate in this war!"

After he finished speaking, Zhou Mingde nodded and said, "Yes, I think so too."

After that, he continued, "Although the three major sects have a large number of people and power, the combined power of all the immortal cultivation families in Jingguo cannot be underestimated."

"If they want to go into full-scale war with the Hualong Sect, whose strength is not yet fully understood, and want to win beautifully, not a miserable victory where they kill a thousand enemies but lose eight hundred of their own, they absolutely cannot give up this force!"

Wars are fought for population and resources.

The Yasukuni side now has an absolute advantage in population.

In terms of the number of immortal cultivators, excluding those at the Nascent Soul stage, the number of Golden Core stage, Purple Mansion stage, and Foundation Establishment stage cultivators that they can mobilize is far beyond what the Hualong Sect can compare to.

The three major sects, Yuelun Sect, Yanyang Sect, and Qinglian Temple, naturally would not let go of such a great advantage.

"Then, Grand Elder, do you think that our Zhou family should compete for the top 30 families? Can our Zhou family be among the top 30?"

Zhou Chun looked up at Zhou Mingde and asked a key question.

Hearing his words, Zhou Mingde fell into deep thought.

After pondering for a long time, Zhou Mingde's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he suddenly said: "Of course we have to fight for it, and we have to do everything we can to fight for the top 30!"

Zhou Chun's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he asked again, "What's the reason? I want to know what the reason is?"

"The reason is very simple. If you want the horse to run, you must feed it with grass. If the three major sects want all the immortal cultivation families to fully support them in their expedition against the Hualong Sect, they will definitely give corresponding benefits."

“And even if you don’t compete for the top 30, you may not be able to escape the task of contributing manpower and effort!”

"In that case, why not strive to be in the top 30 and show your strength!"

Zhou Mingde expressed his opinion in a low voice.

After hearing his answer, Zhou Chun couldn't help but nod and said, "You are right, that is indeed the truth."

Then he fixed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "If that's the case, then we have to find out the situation of each immortal cultivation family in Jingguo. There are so many immortal cultivation families in Jingguo. It won't be easy for our Zhou family to enter the top 30!"

"We need to inquire carefully. But perhaps we can ask the Wang family and the Sun family about this matter. They are local families that have been rooted in Jingguo for many years and should have a good understanding of this aspect!"

Zhou Mingde nodded slightly and expressed his own opinion.

"Then I will go to the Wang family in person to visit them!"

Zhou Chun said this and immediately stepped back and took action.

A few days later, he personally visited the Wang family in Hongyao Valley and talked with the head of the Wang family, Wang Zhixiong, for half a day. He learned from him the strength of many powerful families in Jingguo.

To be honest, Zhou Chun felt very heavy after learning from Wang Zhixiong about the strength of the powerful families in Jingguo.

Because according to Wang Zhixiong, if the two immortal cultivation families, the Li family of alchemy and the You family of formation, which have Jindan-stage cultivators, are also counted, there are five Jindan families in the four states under the jurisdiction of Qinglian Temple alone.

There are seven Jindan families in the area under the jurisdiction of the Yuelun Sect, and there are also five in the Yanyang Sect.

In this case, the Jindan families alone account for seventeen!

These Jindan families must be among the top 30.

Then families like the Zhou family can only compete for the remaining thirteen places.

There are probably seventy or eighty immortal cultivation families in Jingguo that have cultivators in the Purple Mansion Stage!
Among these seventy or eighty immortal cultivation families, at least ten have more than one Purple Mansion cultivator, and at least ten Purple Mansion late-stage cultivators!

If you calculate it this way, there are actually only fifty or sixty families left, competing for the remaining few spots.

With such fierce competition, Zhou Chun really didn't have much hope that the Zhou family could make it into the top 30.

In his opinion, even if the green dragon exposed the clan leader Zhou Daoyi, the Zhou family did not have the strength to win against those powerful immortal cultivation families.

Similarly, when Zhou Mingde learned the relevant inside story from him, he was speechless for a long time.

Finally, he just sighed and said, "Hey! Try your best. Even if the hope is slim, you can't give up easily. At least we have to make a name for our Zhou family at this Hundred Clans Conference!"

After hearing what he said, Zhou Chun pursed his lips slightly, and then whispered: "We still don't know how the Hundred Clans Conference will rank the various clans, and what the rules are. Maybe by then there will be rules that are beneficial to our Zhou family!" "That's true!"

Zhou Mingde nodded, agreeing with what he said.

After waiting for another half a month, the rules of the "Hundred Races Conference" were announced.

This rule is a mixed blessing for the Zhou family.

The good news is that according to the rules of the "Hundred Clans Conference", families competing for rankings need to send three teams to participate in the battle.

Among them, the Purple Mansion Stage cultivators are counted as one team, and up to three Purple Mansion Stage cultivators can participate in the battle, and three points will be accumulated for winning.

A cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage is counted as one team. A maximum of five cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage can participate in the battle, and two points will be accumulated for winning.

A cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage is counted as one team. A maximum of ten cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage can participate in the battle, and one point is accumulated for each victory.

In other words, if the Zhou family had a ranking battle with a family that had a late Purple Mansion cultivator, then even if the Zhou family lost the team of Purple Mansion cultivators, as long as they won the teams of Foundation Establishment cultivators and Qi Refining cultivators, it would still be considered a draw.

What is worrying is that according to the rules of the competition, if the points are the same, the judges from the three major sects will decide which family wins.

Although I don't know what the judges' criteria are, the world of immortal cultivation has always emphasized that the strong are respected. I am afraid that the judges will be more inclined to recognize the family that wins the Purple Mansion Stage cultivator team as the winner.

"It's a mixed blessing, but at least it gives our Zhou family a big opportunity. We must seize this opportunity!"

Zhou Daoyi, who had already returned to the Zhou family, showed his determination in a firm tone.

After he and Zhou Chongshan had stayed in Longxing Valley for more than two months, they had basically finalized the formation plan.

Next, Zhou Chongshan will go over and lay the foundation of the formation first, and complete the most difficult part of the formation.

When the stronghold is really to be put into use in the future, we can ask someone who understands the formation to complete the second half.

After returning and learning about the "Conference of a Hundred Races", he was determined to fight for a top 30 ranking.

Seeing that he took this matter so seriously, Zhou Mingde said, "Since we are going to fight with all our strength, let's call Daoquan back. If he comes back, it will be hard for our Zhou family to find an opponent in the Foundation Establishment cultivator team!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately spoke up, "There is also the purple-veined golden peach from Lin Hongyu. We don't have the Red Bright Flowing Pearl Pill she wants now, but we might as well ask her for one as a deposit. After the Hundred Races Conference is over, we can see if we can buy what she wants at the trade conference or auction!"

"That's it. Since the Hundred Clan Conference is still a year away, let's mobilize all our clans and prepare well for this grand event!"

Zhou Daoyi clenched his fists, showing strong determination.

Of course, the Zhou family is not the only immortal cultivation family that is preparing for war with all its strength.

Although other immortal cultivation families did not know that the three major sects had decided to fight to the death with the Hualong Sect, they also smelled danger from the "Hundred Clans Conference" that was suddenly to be held.

At the same time, they also covet the mysterious benefits of the top 30 families.

Therefore, any immortal cultivation family that thought they had a chance to be among the top 30 opened their family treasure houses one by one and prepared for war with all their strength.

For a time, all kinds of fine magical instruments and talismans became hot items, and many monks were buying them.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun discussed with several higher-ups and decided to replace the magic weapons for several Zhou family cultivators who were confirmed to participate in the war, and take the opportunity to sell off their obsolete magic weapons.

Both Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoyi actually had quite a few second-tier magical weapons in their hands, but they had no reason to give them away to other people for nothing before.

Now the Zhou family needs to prepare for war, so of course they won’t be stingy with this.

Besides, they didn’t take out the magic weapons for nothing.

These magical instruments will be subsidized to them slowly every year using the excess spiritual coins in the family account.

In this way, half a year passed quickly.

On this day, Zhou Daoquan, the third elder of the Zhou family who had been away from home for several years, finally returned to the Zhou family gate of Jiufengling after receiving a call from the family.

"Please forgive me, Third Elder. We urgently summoned you back to the family because we need your strength. We did not intend to disturb you from looking for an opportunity!"

In Zhongping Hall, when Zhou Chun saw the returning third elder Zhou Daoquan, he immediately stepped forward to express his apologies.

At this time, Zhou Daoyi accompanied the second elder Zhou Chongshan to Longxing Valley to set up the formation base, and also sent the first batch of goods collected by the Zhou family to Longyuanze and Lu Ran for trading.

"We are all family, there is no need to explain anything!"

Zhou Daoquan waved his hand and said sternly: "As a member of the Zhou family and an elder of the Zhou family, since the family needs my strength, I will naturally have no objection!"

"Third Elder, it would be best if you could understand."

Zhou Chun's expression relaxed and he replied with a smile.

Then he took Zhou Daoquan to the top of the mountain to pay a visit to the supreme elder Zhou Mingde, and on the way he told him about the Zhou family's full preparations for the "Conference of a Hundred Races".

"Daoquan, I'm glad you're back safely. I think Zhengchun has also told you the reason why I urgently summoned you back this time. Do you have anything to say?"

Inside the cave, Zhou Mingde's face was full of smiles as he looked at Zhou Daoquan who had returned from his journey.

"I don't have any objections. Since the family has decided to fight for it, then let's fight with all our strength!"

Zhou Daoquan shook his head slightly and had no objection to the family's decision.

He has always been like this. Unless something seriously contradicts his own views, he will not raise any objections.

After answering Zhou Mingde's question, he changed the subject and said, "But after this Hundred Clans Conference, I would like to ask the family to help me do something!"

"Oh, what do you want the family to help you with?"

Zhou Mingde's eyes flashed with surprise, and he looked at Zhou Daoquan in astonishment, not expecting him to say that.

"I have traveled to three countries in total during this trip. In Le Country, northeast of Cheng Country, I worked with others to excavate the tomb of a senior monk, but was intercepted by a local Zifu family, who almost killed my spiritual pet, the Earth Armored Bear. I must avenge this grudge!"

A cold light flashed in Zhou Daoquan's eyes, and he stated his request in a deep voice. He actually wanted his family to avenge him!
