Chapter 253 Arrangements, News of Great Victory [Subscription Request]

Jiufengling Zhou Family, Foreign Affairs Hall.

When hope turned into disappointment, the master and disciple Mo Renyi and Xu Fu both looked gloomy and speechless for a while.

Zhou Chun looked at the master and disciple with gloomy faces, and lowered his head slightly, falling into deep thought.

There is no doubt that Xu Fu's good qualifications did make him want to recruit talented people.

But there is a saying that goes, once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of ropes for ten years.

The Zhou family, which suffered a great loss at the hands of Yu Jinghua, is now very cautious about training cultivators from other families.

Nowadays, those cultivators from other families in the Zhou family, including the fellow cultivators of the Zhou family, will not be given important positions, but they will certainly not be able to enter the core of the family.

It’s impossible to raise other people’s children!
This point has become a fixed understanding in the minds of many Zhou family cultivators.

Therefore, even though Xu Fu had excellent qualifications, Zhou Chun was still considering whether to accept him into the Zhou family for training.

After all, the current situation of the Zhou family is different from when Yu Jinghua was trained.

The reason why the previous Jindan-stage cultivator of the Zhou family wanted to train Yu Jinghua was because the Zhou family members at that time were not ambitious enough and no one was worthy of training.

Among the three unique sects at that time, if the Zhou family wanted to maintain its status, it had to have a Jindan stage cultivator in charge.

Therefore, the Jindan-stage cultivator of the Zhou family could only choose Yu Jinghua, a genius from another family who could be trained, to train him and help him form the golden elixir with all his strength.

But what happened next was also very obvious. After Yu Jinghua formed the Dan, although he still protected the Zhou family for some years, when he encountered the opportunity to go alone, he turned around and forgot about the Zhou family's training of him, and chose to betray and abandon the Zhou family.

With this living example in front of him, how could Zhou Chun not be cautious about such things?

After all, the Zhou family now has two Purple Mansion cultivators in charge, and several Foundation Establishment cultivators. One more Xu Fu won't make much difference, and one less won't make much either. It is not necessary to train him to protect the Zhou family.

Only if you are in Zhou Chun's current position, you will understand why those powerful families are so nepotistic and only dare to appoint people from their own family to important positions.

For people from the same family, even if he is less capable or has many shortcomings, his bloodline cannot be changed.

People who are cold-hearted by nature and completely disregard their family are rare, and few family leaders will entrust such people with important tasks.

But it’s different for outsiders, they are always outsiders!

People's hearts are fickle. An outsider may be very loyal and grateful to a certain family at this time, but no one can predict whether he will remain loyal and grateful when the family comes to power and becomes powerful.

Anyway, Zhou Chun felt that it would be difficult for him to do so.

After all, it is difficult to raise other people's children. If you have that ability, why don't you establish your own family or sect and call yourself the ancestor!
Therefore, even if he really had to use outsiders, Zhou Chun believed that he could only use those outsiders who were completely under his control, and there must never be a situation where the outsiders' cultivation strength was higher than that of the entire family.

Otherwise, it will be difficult for the slaves to bully their masters.

Therefore, he needs to think twice about whether to recruit and train the young man Xu Fu.

I don’t know how much time passed like this, but perhaps I could see something from Zhou Chun’s thoughtful expression.

Doctor Mo Ren's eyes lit up again, and he suddenly looked at Zhou Chun and said, "Senior Zhou, do you have any plans to accept a disciple? What do you think if I let Xu Fu become your disciple?"

"Master, you..."

Xu Fu's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect Doctor Mo Ren to say such a thing.

However, Doctor Mo Ren shook his head and said, "Fuer, don't call me Master. I have never formally accepted you as my disciple, nor have I taught you any magic. In theory, I am just your guide in cultivation, and it is far from a master-disciple relationship."

At this point, Doctor Mo Ren turned his gaze to Zhou Chun and said, "Senior Zhou, you are a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage. If Fu'er can become your disciple, it will be a great opportunity for him!"

But after hearing his flattering words, Zhou Chun shook his head slightly and said, "I understand your thoughts, but I don't have any intention of taking in a disciple. Even if I really have that intention, I can't take someone's disciple like this!"

Hearing his words, the light in Mo Renyi's eyes dimmed and his expression became depressed again.

On the contrary, the young Xu Fu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Yes, Master, I only recognize you as my master in this life, and I only want to practice with you."

"You know nothing, kid!!"

Doctor Mo Ren scolded him angrily, but he looked at Zhou Chun and said, "Senior Zhou, you personally detected the top-grade spiritual root aptitude for Fuer, so you are destined to be with him. Even if you don't want to accept him as a disciple, you can still accept him as a son-in-law of the Zhou family. If Fuer becomes the son-in-law of the Zhou family, he will definitely treat the Zhou family as his own in the future!"

However, he didn't know the situation of the Zhou family, otherwise he would never have said such a thing.

Fortunately, Zhou Chun knew that he didn't mean it, and didn't want to argue with him. He just waved his hand and said, "Forget about the son-in-law. At Xu Xiaoyou's age, it's not appropriate to talk about this."

After that, he paused for a moment and then said, "In fact, it's not impossible for the Zhou family to help Xu Xiaoyou get rid of the turbid evil spirit in his body, but if that happens, Xu Xiaoyou will have to stay in the Zhou family and serve them in the future, and he can no longer live his life as he pleases like a casual cultivator!"

"Senior Zhou, what do you mean..."

Doctor Mo Ren looked at Zhou Chun with joy and surprise, not fully understanding what he meant.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun explained calmly, "My Zhou family has adopted some outsiders with spiritual roots from the mortal world to train as servants. In the future, we will give priority to sending these people to do some more dangerous tasks."

"If the Zhou family wants to help Fellow Daoist Xu get rid of the evil spirit in his body for free, then he can only be a servant of the Zhou family!"

They are called family servants, but in fact they are the family's thugs and assassins.

Doctor Mo Ren also knows this principle.

"This……"

He looked at Zhou Chun hesitantly and couldn't help but whisper, "Senior, could you allow me to discuss this with Fu'er?"

"Whatever you want."

Zhou Chun waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care.

So Doctor Mo Ren pulled the still confused Xu Fu aside and explained to him the meaning of "house servant".

Of course, in order to avoid offending Zhou Chun, he spoke in a tactful way and did not really say the word "death warrior". He only told Xu Fu about the various dangers he might encounter after becoming a servant of the Zhou family.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Chun interrupted and said, "Friend Mo, there is no need to be so tactful. This kind of thing requires mutual consent. I will never force anyone to agree to be a death warrior for the Zhou family!"

Then he looked at the young Xu Fu with a stern face and said: "Xu Xiaoyou, I can tell you for sure that as long as you become a servant of the Zhou family, you will definitely take risks and fight monsters and other cultivators frequently in the future, and you will most likely die in the hands of those enemies!" "Of course, as long as you can become the winner in the fight, the Zhou family will naturally not treat you who have made contributions to the family unfairly. Whether it is elixirs, magic tools, or secret techniques, you will not be short of them!"

Maybe there are many people who want to take advantage of other people's ignorance to do things for themselves, but Zhou Chun is not that kind of person.

Xu Fu's spiritual roots are very good, but the Zhou family does not necessarily have to get him.

Therefore, Zhou Chun does not need to rely on coaxing people to work for him and the Zhou family.

What he wants is someone who dares to move forward even though he knows the road ahead is dangerous. Such talent is worth the Zhou family's real investment of resources to cultivate.

After listening to what Mo Renyi and Zhou Chun said, Xu Fu, who had just turned twelve, made a decision unexpectedly quickly.

He immediately knelt down in front of Zhou Chun and said in a firm tone: "Senior, I am willing to serve you as your servant!"

"Oh, are you sure? You really don't regret it?"

Zhou Chun narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the young man on the ground, seeing the changes in his expression and eyes clearly.

Facing his gaze, the young Xu Fu also clenched his lips and replied in a deep voice: "Yes, I will never regret it!"

"Well, then you will stay in the Zhou family from now on."

Zhou Chun retracted his gaze, nodded, and agreed.

Then he looked at Doctor Mo Renyi and said, "Of course, if Daoist Mo is willing to guard the Jingling Pavilion for the Zhou family, he can also stay near the Zhou family to practice."

Hearing his words, Doctor Mo Ren shook his head slightly and said, "Thank you, Senior Zhou, for your kindness. However, I have long given up the idea of ​​practicing cultivation and have become accustomed to the mundane life. I can only appreciate it in my heart."

"Master, you..."

The young Xu Fu's eyes changed slightly and he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

But Doctor Mo Ren quickly raised his hand to stop him from speaking.

"Fuer, you don't need to say anything more. Everyone has their own ambitions. I, your master, am not interested in this. Please stop trying to persuade me. Just take care of yourself in the future."

At this point, Doctor Mo Ren bowed to Zhou Chun and said, "Fuer will be in the care of Senior Zhou from now on. It is time for me to take my leave."

"Don't say you're friendly and leave."

Zhou Chun did not try to persuade him to stay, and immediately asked someone to lead Xu Fu to escort Mo Renyi out of the Zhou family's mountain gate.

After Xu Fu reluctantly sent Doctor Mo Ren away, Zhou Chun looked at him and said, "Come with me. I will help you get rid of the turbid evil spirit in your body first, and then teach you a new skill."

After saying that, he took Xu Fu to his residence, then went into the house alone to take out the purification stone jar, took out some musk deer incense and threw it into the stone jar to dissolve it, then walked out of the room holding the stone jar.

When they arrived at the courtyard, Zhou Chun handed the fragrant stone jar in front of Xu Fu and explained casually, "This jar of spiritual water has been added with the spiritual fragrance of the fragrant spiritual musk deer and the spiritual water for cleansing the soul. Take it first and see. If it can't completely eliminate the turbid evil spirit in your body, Zhou will think of other ways!"

Looking at the blue spiritual water in the stone jar in front of him that exuded a rich fragrance, Xu Fu did not think much about it. He immediately took the stone jar with both hands and said, "Junior obeys your command."

Then he drank the spiritual water in the jar with big gulps.

Because there was too much spiritual water in the jar, he could only drink less than one-third of it in one breath, so Zhou Chun asked him to take his time.

This was the first time that Zhou Chun gave the purifying spiritual water to an outsider to drink, and the first time that he used the purifying spiritual water to remove the turbid evil spirit from a cultivator who had been deeply contaminated by it. He also wanted to know what the effect was.

At this time, after Xu Fu took a break after taking his first sip, he looked at him and asked, "How is it? How do you feel?"

“I feel very refreshed and relaxed.”

Xu Fu answered honestly about his feelings.

This is similar to the feeling Zhou Chun had when he drank water after being contaminated by the turbid evil energy.

He nodded thoughtfully, and then said, "Then continue drinking later."

Then Xu Fu drank up the remaining spiritual water in three times within an hour.

When he drank the spiritual water for the last time, he said that the energetic and relaxed feeling was gone, and he was only left with a bloated stomach.

Zhou Chun estimated that the turbid evil energy in his body had been completely eliminated.

After all, although he had been practicing outside for three years, his cultivation was too low, and the accumulated turbid evil energy in his body had not yet reached the level that required several cans of purifying spiritual water to remove it.

This experiment undoubtedly gave Zhou Chun great confidence.

If he can confirm it is safe in the future, he can also package the purifying spiritual water and use it specifically to remove the turbid evil energy in people's bodies to gain benefits.

Of course, if you really do such a thing, you certainly can't be as rough as this time. After all, those old foxes in the world of cultivation are not as easy to fool as Xu Fu.

After helping Xu Fuqie to get rid of the turbid evil energy in his body, Zhou Chun took him to the library and selected for him a basic practice book called "Spiritual Wind Art" which was specifically suitable for cultivators with wind-attribute spiritual roots.

This "Spiritual Wind Art" can only be practiced by cultivators with wind-attribute spiritual roots. Xu Fu's practice of this technique will be much faster than the previous techniques he practiced, and it will also help in the casting of wind spells.

But apart from the "Spirit Wind Technique" which was a suitable martial art, Zhou Chun did not give Xu Fu any other special training. He directly sent him to the residence of the Zhou family's servants and asked him to receive training with those servants in the future.

After dealing with Xu Fu's matter, Zhou Chun returned to his normal working state.

Within two days, news of the great victory on the Yunzhou front reached the Zhou family.

The news came out from Hongya Market and was not sent to each family by a special person. This shows that the top leaders of Jingguo believed that they had the situation under control and there was no need to rush to let everyone know as soon as possible to boost morale.

According to the news, the battle of Fulong stronghold ended with a great victory for the Jingguo Alliance.

This battle not only completely defeated and repelled the beast tide army that attacked Jingguo, but also caused heavy losses to the high-level monsters and the Dragon Transformation Sect that drove the beast tide to attack Jingguo.

Not only were five fourth-level monsters killed, six Jindan-stage cultivators were killed, and even two fourth-level dragons were killed, one was the fourth-level middle-grade black dragon that had escaped from the Black Dragon branch, and the other was the fourth-level low-grade white cloud dragon from the White Dragon branch.

The third-level monsters suffered heavy losses, with more than fifty of them being killed, and more than a dozen of the few remaining Purple Mansion-level guardians of the Hualong Sect were also killed again.

On the other hand, the National Salvation Army lost only three Jindan-stage cultivators and less than thirty Zifu-stage cultivators!
