Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Chapter 22 The Elders of the Zhou Family
On Baiyao Peak, just as Zhou Chun was looking at the various spiritual medicine seedlings in the spiritual medicine garden, he was thinking about the Zhou family's lack of resources in certain aspects.

A young man in a blue-gray robe suddenly walked out from the temple in front.

The young man was slightly shorter than Zhou Chun, about 1.78 meters tall. Perhaps because he had been working by the stove for a long time, his skin color appeared darker and reddish, like a blacksmith in the secular world.

After he came out of the temple, he smiled and waved to Zhou Chun, saying, "Thirteenth brother, the teacher already knows why you are here. Come with me to pay our respects to him."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately bowed his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, Sixth Brother."

It turned out that this young man was also a descendant of the Zhou family's "Zheng" generation, ranked sixth, and his name was Zhou Zhengyuan. He had followed the Zhou family's great elder Zhou Mingshan to learn the art of alchemy eight years ago.

Therefore, although he looks inconspicuous, he actually has a very high status in the Zhou family, even not worse than some core members of the family.

At this time, Zhou Chun followed Zhou Zhengyuan into the palace and soon came to a hall, where he met Zhou Mingshan, the great elder of the Zhou family.

Because he doesn't have much time left to live, Zhou Mingshan now looks like an old man in his seventies, with white hair, wrinkles all over his face, and an old look.

After Zhou Chun came in and paid his respects, he just looked up at the young junior and said in a submissive tone: "Since the clan leader asked you to come and get the medicine, I will naturally follow the clan leader's orders."

After saying that, he instructed Zhou Zhengyuan who was serving beside him: "Zhengyuan, go get the medicine for him."

"Disciple, obey."

Zhou Zhengyuan responded and immediately went to the pharmacy in the back where the pills were stored, took out a bottle of [Chun Yang Dan] and three bottles of [Shou Ling Pills], and handed them to Zhou Chun.

After Zhou Chun took the pill and verified it in person, Zhou Mingshan waved his hand and signaled that he could leave.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Chun seemed to have not noticed his gesture. After collecting the pills, he bowed to him again and said, "Elder, please be wise. I have another spiritual object here that I would like to ask you to take a look at."

Hearing Zhou Chun's words, Zhou Mingshan's eyebrows twitched, but he did not refuse. He just looked up at him and said calmly: "Oh, what spiritual object? Take it out and let me take a look."

"It is a hundred-year-old spiritual ginseng, which I got from a bandit cultivator."

As Zhou Chun spoke, he took out the wild ginseng that he had bought from the Hongyafang market.

He had always thought that he would wait until he had a chance to go to the market again in the future and then find a chance to sell this item.

However, the experience during the trip to Wild Wolf Ridge made Zhou Chun realize that he should improve his cultivation as soon as possible.

The world of cultivating immortals is not safe anywhere. If your cultivation is not good enough and your strength is not strong enough, you may lose your life if you just go out.

Therefore, it is better to use up anything that can be used to cash in as soon as possible to enhance your strength.

At this time, Zhou Mingshan took the wild ginseng handed over by Zhou Zhengyuan, examined it briefly, and nodded slightly, saying: "Well, the quality is quite good. It looks like it should be more than 130 years old. It can be used as the main ingredient for refining [Chun Yang Dan]."

Is this medicine only 130 years old?

Zhou Chun suddenly felt a little disappointed.

Naturally, he would not doubt Zhou Mingshan's eyesight, so it must be that the old man who sold the medicine exaggerated the age of the medicine.

But this is a common situation in the world of cultivating immortals. When buying things at street stalls, it doesn’t matter what the seller brags about, and the seller doesn’t have to be responsible for his bragging.

Buying things at street markets really tests the buyer's vision. If you make a mistake, you will lose all your money.

The wild ginseng that Zhou Chun bought was not a fake after all, it was just not as effective as the seller claimed. So he still made a profit.

Therefore, after a brief moment of loss, he quickly cheered up and looked at Zhou Mingshan and said, "I want to present this item to the family. I wonder if the elder can exchange it for the elixir?"

Zhou Mingshan heard this and after a moment's hesitation, he nodded slightly and said, "A hundred-year-old spiritual ginseng should be worth more than sixty spiritual coins. One [Spring Yang Pill] is worth twenty spiritual coins. If you want to exchange it for pills, I can give you three [Spring Yang Pills] in exchange."

However, he did not ask Zhou Chun how he got this wild ginseng.

This made Zhou Chun, who had originally thought of several reasons, feel depressed and happy at the same time.

"Then I, the junior, would like to thank the elder first."

Zhou Chun bowed and agreed immediately.

Not long after, Zhou Chun bid farewell to his master and apprentice Zhou Mingshan and Zhou Zhengyuan and returned to Baozhi Peak.

After returning to his residence, Zhou Chun immediately took out all the pills he had received.

[Chun Yang Dan] There are five pills in a bottle, and he exchanged wild ginseng for three more, making eight pills in total.

[Beast Spirit Pills] There are ten pills in one bottle, and three bottles mean thirty pills.

Zhou Chun had fed the Geochelone with [Beast Spirit Pills] before, and knew how to feed it to maximize the effect.

Therefore, at this time, he directly fed the Rock Turtle three [Beast Spirit Pills] at once, and then let it enter the turtle rest state to slowly digest the medicinal power.

He also walked into the meditation room, took out a [Spring Yang Pill] and swallowed it.

After swallowing the thumb-sized yellow-brown pill, a faint sweetness of honey and Chinese medicine filled his mouth. Zhou Chun moved his throat to swallow the pill that had not yet dissolved, and then silently practiced the "Five Qi Chaoyang Sutra" and practiced with the help of the medicine.

This practice gives you a completely different feeling from the usual meditation practice.

Normally, when one meditates and practices, one absorbs and exhales the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is like cotton candy. It looks like a lot, but in fact, after refining, the amount of spiritual energy that can be converted into magical powers is very small.

However, the pure medicinal power contained in [Chun Yang Dan] is as dense as mercury, of extremely high quality, and very easy to absorb and refine.

In total, it took Zhou Chun almost three days to completely refine the medicinal power of a [Chun Yang Pill].

It was this [Chun Yang Pill] that directly saved him two or three months of practice time and helped him open up an acupoint.

Zhou Chun was surprised and delighted by the powerful medicinal effect.

He seemed to have seen a shortcut to quickly improve his cultivation!

“No wonder among the four great cultivation techniques of elixir, weapon, talisman and array, elixir ranks at the top!”

"If we ignore the special nature of the Spirit Purification Array, for cultivators, the role of elixirs is indeed far more important than magic tools, magic talismans, and magic arrays!"

Zhou Chun couldn't help but express his feelings and gained a deeper understanding of the importance of elixirs.

However, although the pills are good, you cannot take them too much.

As the saying goes, all medicines are three parts poison. Although elixirs can save cultivators a lot of time in meditation and practice, no matter how skilled the alchemist is, he cannot completely eliminate the poison in the elixir.

Therefore, even if ordinary cultivators, like Zhou Chun, get a lot of pills at one time, they dare not take the pills continuously in a short period of time, so as to avoid the accumulation of drug poisons and cause irreparable damage to the body.

According to the research and experiments of senior monks, pills like [Chun Yang Dan] are suitable for monks in the middle and late stages of Qi Refining. Monks in the middle stage of Qi Refining can take one pill every one or two months without worrying about the harm of drug poison.

So even though Zhou Chun still had seven [Chun Yang Pills] in his hand, he did not continue taking the medicine.

In contrast, monster beasts and spiritual pets have little concerns in this regard. This is probably because monster beasts have strong physiques and are on the path of blood sublimation. Their ability to eliminate drugs and poisons far exceeds that of human cultivators.

After a few more days passed, Zhou Chun had some free time one day, so he went to Fei Shi Peak again.

This time when Zhou Chun came to Fei Shi Peak, he did not go to the library to read books, but came to pay a special visit to Zhou Daoquan, the third elder of the Zhou family.

The three elders of the Zhou family each have a unique skill.

The great elder Zhou Mingshan is an expert in alchemy, and most of the Zhou family's elixirs come from his hands.

The second elder, Zhou Chongshan, is an expert in formations. He once studied formations under a Purple Mansion Stage cultivator from the You family. The Zhou family's mountain protection formation and the Purifying Spirit Formation were both arranged by him.

The third elder Zhou Daoquan inherited the Zhou family's beast taming skills. His attainments in the art were close to those of the supreme elder Zhou Mingde. He alone cultivated two second-level spirit pets.

The clan leader Zhou Daoyi is said to be quite skilled in the art of making talismans, and his attainments in the art of taming beasts are second only to the third elder Zhou Daoquan.

This time Zhou Chun came to Fei Shi Peak to pay a visit to the third elder Zhou Daoquan, just to ask him to help take a look at the mysterious snake egg he got from the Mu family at that time, to see if this beastmaster knew what the egg was like.

"Oh, there is such a miracle? Take out the snake egg and have a look."

On the Fei Shi Peak, Zhou Daoquan met Zhou Chun. After hearing what he said, he immediately showed a look of surprise and asked him to take out the snake eggs.

"Elder, please look."

Zhou Chun reached out and patted the storage bag, then took out the jade box containing the snake eggs, and handed it to Zhou Daoquan with both hands.

Zhou Daoquan took out the snake egg and held it in his hand. He first closed his eyes and released his spiritual sense to investigate. Then he pinched his hands and used several secret techniques that Zhou Chun knew or didn't know to test and identify the snake egg.

"Strange, this is the first time I've seen such a strange thing!"

Zhou Daoquan frowned and stared at the snake egg in his hand. After thinking for a while, he looked at Zhou Chun and said, "This snake egg is indeed of great research value. If you agree, you can leave it with me first and I will conduct research and experiments on it."

"If I can figure out a way to hatch it, I will then let you come over and subdue it through a contract."

"If it is damaged due to my research, I will compensate you with 500 spirit coins. What do you think?"

Zhou Chun would naturally not refuse such a good thing.

He immediately agreed and said, "Elder, please feel free to do your research. I have no objection."

Zhou Daoquan was also very satisfied with his answer, and nodded immediately, saying, "Well, then you can leave first. I will inform you when there is a result."

"Yes, junior, please take your leave."

Zhou Chun bowed and left Fei Shi Peak immediately.
