Another member of the Zhou family with superior spiritual roots appeared.

Zhou Chun did not hide this happy event, and it soon spread throughout the family.

Even Zhou Mingde and others came out to visit the little guy who was renamed Zhou Xinyan by Zhou Chun after learning about this.

Even for a large immortal cultivation clan like the Zhou family, it is hard to find a clan member with superior spiritual roots, and there are only two or three such people in a hundred years.

According to the rules of the Zhou family, as long as a member of the family with such qualifications begins to embark on the path of cultivating immortals, he will become a core member of the family and enjoy various preferential treatments.

They don't even have to worry about the Foundation Establishment Pill, because cultivators with superior spiritual roots will definitely become the "foundation establishment seeds" of the family and obtain priority use rights for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

It is the same in any world. The more people have money and things, the easier it is for them to get those things. The more people lack money and things, the harder it is for them to get those things.

Some people think this is unfair, but there is no fairness in the world.

The reason why a family allocates resources to a member with superior spiritual roots is because of certainty. It is certain that the resources invested in this member will enable the family to gain more benefits in the future.

On the other hand, if resources were allocated to a clan member with inferior spiritual roots, it would most likely be a waste of effort.

This is just like why people are often willing to lend money to rich people, but no one is willing to lend money to poor people.

Of course, little Zhou Xinyan is still young now. Even though he has a promising future, he does not need to be given too much attention at present. Just let him grow naturally.

Thanks to the super fertility subsidy measures implemented by Zhou Chun, the Zhou family's cultivators now have a very strong desire to have children. Every year, the Zhou family's cultivators alone can give birth to hundreds of children, and more than 10% of them have spiritual roots.

When immortal cultivators get together, or when immortal cultivators get together with mortals, the chances of their offspring having spiritual roots are much greater than when mortals get together.

This is why Zhou Chun tried every means to encourage the Zhou family monks to have offspring.

According to the current population growth rate of the Zhou family, in less than thirty years, the number of Zhou family members who can practice cultivation will be close to three hundred, and by then the family's succession will be completed.

Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

During the past two years, the Zhou family has maintained a rapid development momentum. Every year, the cultivation of some family members has been improved, and the family's cultivator population and various industries have grown synchronously.

On this day, Zhou Chun suddenly received a message from the Su family in Jiangzhou, saying that the ancestor of the Su family summoned him to the Su family’s mountain gate.

When he received this message, he was also slightly stunned.

Because of Su Yuzhen, the Su family and the Zhou family did start some cooperation.

The Jiangzhou Su family itself is quite accomplished in making talismans. The ancestor of the Su family can even make third-level magic talismans.

The monsters tamed by the Zhou family can provide a stable supply of various spiritual blood, beards, and hairs for the talisman-making monks to make blood ink and talisman pens.

As a result, the Zhou family was able to purchase large quantities of talismans produced by the Su family at relatively favorable prices.

At the same time, the Zhou family also sold a lot of monster eggs and monster cubs to the Su family, adding overseas sales income to the Zhou family.

However, Zhou Chun and Su Yuzhen have never truly become Taoist partners, so this kind of cooperation is still at a superficial level.

At this moment, Zhou Chun suddenly received a summons from the ancestor of the Su family. After a moment of shock, he thought of the female cultivator with whom he had practiced dual cultivation many times.

"According to the time, Su Yuzhen's breakthrough to the Purple Mansion stage should have produced some results. Could it be that she has successfully opened up the Purple Mansion?"

He muttered to himself and could only go to the cave on the top of the mountain to report the matter to Zhou Mingde.

This is just a formality. The summons from a Jindan-stage cultivator must not be refused.

Soon Zhou Chun handed over the family affairs to the fourth elder Zhou Jiarui, and rode the golden-winged tiger alone to the Su family in Jiangzhou.

After evolving into a second-level monster, the golden-winged tiger's physical strength and magical power were greatly improved.

Now it is carrying Zhou Chun and can travel three thousand miles a day relying on physical strength alone. If it uses its magic power to fly at full speed, traveling seven or eight thousand miles a day will not be a difficult task.

This is much better than Zhou Daoquan's Zhu Yanhe.

Zhou Chun rode on a tiger and arrived at the Su family in Jiangzhou in just one day. Then he was allowed to meet the ancestor of the Su family directly.

Sure enough, when Zhou Chun met the ancestor of the Su family again, the other party immediately told him the purpose of summoning him here.

"I summoned you here this time because Yu Zhen has successfully opened up the Purple Palace, and the love calamity is expected to come."

Inside the cave, the Su family's ancestor waited for Zhou Chun and his party to pay their respects, then explained in a deep voice the reason why they had asked him to come here.

Because he was mentally prepared for this, Zhou Chun was not surprised at all.

He just said respectfully: "Please tell me what I should do to help Miss Su."

Unexpectedly, after hearing what he said, the Su family ancestor shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know what you should do. This love calamity is not like other calamities that can be blocked or avoided."

After saying that, his face slightly condensed, and he looked at him solemnly and warned: "There is just one thing I want to warn you, old ancestor. No matter what Yu Zhen promised you when he was in a state of emotional catastrophe, or what treasures he gave you, you can't take it seriously and you can't take it privately!"

"Before Yu Zhen recovers from her love tribulation, you'd better not leave the Su family and leave my sight."

Is he going to put himself under house arrest in the Su family?

Zhou Chun's face changed slightly, and he could not help but protest: "Grandpa, your request is a bit too much, after all, I am the patriarch of the Zhou family. If you let me stay in the Su family for a long time, what should I do with the family affairs of my Zhou family?"

"Boy, don't take yourself too seriously. The Zhou family won't be unable to move forward without you!"

The Su family's ancestor glanced at Zhou Chun with an unhappy expression, and said in a deep voice: "Besides, helping Yu Zhen to overcome her love tribulation is what you should do. Don't forget what you promised the ancestor!"

"But……"

Zhou Chun wanted to say something else, but was shut up by the cold look from the Su family's ancestor.

Obviously, there is no point in reasoning with a Jindan stage cultivator.

A Jindan-stage cultivator would never reason with a foundation-building stage cultivator. What would be the point of him practicing hard for hundreds of years to successfully form a golden elixir?
The more powerful the high-level cultivator is, the more selfish he lives.

The truth is only in their hearts, and the words they speak are the truth!
The only things that can convince a Jindan-stage cultivator are fists and a force that is equal to or greater than his.

Zhou Chun also realized this because the Zhou family did not have any Jindan-stage cultivators, otherwise he would have realized this long ago and would not have foolishly tried to reject the Su family ancestor's request for him and Su Yuzhen to become Taoist companions.

In short, after being taught a lesson by the Su family's ancestor, he was allowed to meet Su Yuzhen.

The place where he and Su Yuzhen met this time was Su Yuzhen's own residence inside the Su family's mountain gate.

As the most beloved descendant of the Su family ancestor, Su Yuzhen's residence inside the Su family mountain gate is naturally in a very good location. Not only is it located in the place with the most abundant spiritual energy, the surrounding scenery is also very beautiful. There is no other residence of Su family cultivators within a few miles.

Su Yuzhen was originally temporarily sealed by the Su family's ancestor because of an emotional catastrophe.

When Zhou Chun walked into her bedroom, the ancestor of the Su family removed the seal on her body through the air and made her wake up.

As soon as she woke up on the bed, she saw Zhou Chun, who was wearing light golden brocade clothes, standing beside the bed.

Her eyes were filled with extreme joy. She quickly stood up from the bed and threw herself into Zhou Chun's arms, saying in a sweet voice, "Zhou Lang, you are finally here. I wanted to find you after I opened up the Purple Mansion so that you and I could celebrate together. But the ancestor refused to let me and even confined me to my room. I was so anxious!"

She looked so enthusiastic, as if Zhou Chunzhen was her lover whom she had admired for a long time, and now they were meeting again after a long separation.

Zhou Chun's side was also a bit strange.

Originally, he was still thinking with mixed feelings about how to "complete the task" as soon as possible and help Su Yuzhen overcome her emotional crisis and return to her family.

When Su Yuzhen threw herself into his arms, attracted by the special aura of the other party, he naturally hugged the beauty in his arms tightly, unwilling to let go.

However, his consciousness was still clear and he could tell that there was something wrong with Su Yuzhen's words.

Although he and Su Yuzhen had practiced dual cultivation more than once, the other party had never called him "Zhou Lang" and had never been as enthusiastic as she was now.

The relationship between the two before could be said to be only sex but no love.

And according to his understanding, Su Yuzhen is not the kind of carefree woman. Even if she really falls in love with someone, given her personality, she probably won't be as passionate as she is now.

"So this is the terrifying part of love tribulation? It can directly distort and change a person's personality and thoughts, making them risk their lives for love, with only love in their eyes!"

Zhou Chun seemed to understand something in his mind, and suddenly understood why the ancestor of the Su family had said those words to him before.

Seeing how deeply Su Yuzhen loves him now, it would be very easy for him to do something with the help of Su Yuzhen.

Later, as Zhou Chun interacted with Su Yuzhen, he felt this even more deeply.

Su Yuzhen, who was in the midst of an emotional tribulation, could almost be said to regard him as the most important person and was fully capable of meeting all his requests.

If it weren't for the Su family's ancestor watching over him, Zhou Chun could easily lure this newly promoted Purple Mansion cultivator to the Zhou family and make her obey all his orders.

But something that happened immediately afterwards made Zhou Chun feel that this emotional disaster was not that simple.

That day, Su Yuzhen heard him say that he was a little bored, so he took him out of his residence and went to the Su family's mountain gate for fun.

Although the Su family's ancestor did not allow Zhou Chun to leave the Su family before Su Yu's true love calamity dissipated, he could still go to various places inside the Su family's mountain gate.

Zhou Chun followed Su Yuzhen to a mountain peak inside the Su family's mountain gate. While enjoying the beautiful scenery, they happened to meet another group of cultivators.

There were two young men from the Su family who were touring the beautiful scenery inside the family's mountain gate with a few good friends. They were all cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage.

When the two sides happened to meet on the mountain, the two young men from the Su family recognized Su Yuzhen and hurried forward to greet him.

Up to this point, Su Yuzhen behaved relatively normally, except that she referred to Zhou Chun as her Taoist partner, which surprised the two young men from the Su family.

Then, because of Zhou Chun's suggestion, several people started talking about the beautiful scenery of the Su family.

During the conversation, Zhou Chun also took the opportunity to teach several younger generations some ways of cultivation.

After learning that Zhou Chun was proficient in the art of taming beasts, one of the female cultivators immediately asked Zhou Chun for advice on the art. It turned out that her family also tamed many monsters.

Zhou Chun didn't mind revealing some non-secret things, so he patiently instructed the female cultivator.

The female cultivator was very grateful for Zhou Chun's guidance, so she gave Zhou Chun a jar of fruit wine she brewed herself as a gift.

Unexpectedly, this somehow touched Su Yuzhen, making her think that the female cultivator had fallen in love with Zhou Chun and wanted to compete with her for a Taoist partner.

As a result, she, a dignified Purple Mansion stage cultivator, actually lost all respect and started yelling at a female Qi Refining stage cultivator, which stunned everyone present.

Zhou Chun was also stunned for a long time before he dragged Su Yuzhen away.

After this incident, he finally realized the power of love.

For someone like Su Yuzhen, the only option is to follow the Su family's ancestor's arrangement and let the person she loves stay with her in a semi-closed place until her emotional calamity is gone.

But how to get rid of Su Yu's true love disaster? Even the ancestor of the Su family doesn't know.

Since only female cultivators can practice "Su Nu Xuan Gong", very few people in the Su family have practiced it. Su Yuzhen is even the first Su family cultivator to cultivate to the Purple Mansion Stage.

If the predecessors had not left records about the tribulation of love, I am afraid that the Su family would not know that this technique would have such a tribulation after the opening of the Purple Mansion.

Therefore, the Su family ancestor can only ask Zhou Chun to be patient, accompany Su Yuzhen slowly, stabilize Su Yuzhen's emotions, observe Su Yuzhen's situation more, and find a way to eliminate the disaster.

There was no other way. Zhou Chun could only do as the Su family's ancestor said and patiently accompany Su Yuzhen, living in their own world under the pretext of cultivation.

After staying in the Su family for about half a year, the ancestor of the Su family suddenly found a solution through continuous observation.

After talking with Zhou Chun, he pretended to be angry, sealed Su Yuzhen and Zhou Chun's cultivation, drove them out of the Su family's mountain gate, and threw them into the mortal world.

Afterwards, Zhou Chun and Su Yuzhen, as mortals, set out on the journey to find a way to restore their cultivation.

After wasting nearly three years in the mortal world and enduring all kinds of hardships, Su Yuzhen finally had an epiphany and saw through the maze of love one day when Zhou Chun fell off a cliff and passed out.

"Ask what is love in this world? Just teach us how to make love between life and death!"

At the foot of the cliff, Su Yuzhen looked at Zhou Chun, who was lying unconscious on the ground with blood gushing from his forehead, and sighed with a look of emotion on his face.

In her mind, all the experiences of a mortal for more than three years emerged. The ups and downs, the hardships and difficulties, were all deeply remembered by her and were hard to forget.

She looked at the young man lying on the ground who had been with her for more than three years, and a hint of gratitude appeared in her eyes.

Although she knew that Zhou Chun might not care about her gratitude, and might just want to complete the task this morning.

But those experiences could not be faked, and she believed that it was absolutely impossible for Zhou Chun to remain completely unmoved by those experiences.

"I don't know where the love comes from, but it's so deep. After three years of ups and downs in the secular world, and thousands of emotional entanglements, what are you thinking now, Zhou Lang?"

The female cultivator in coarse cloth looked at the unconscious young man in front of her, and a hint of anticipation and uneasiness emerged in her eyes.

I had a narcolepsy attack. I barely got out of bed in the afternoon and slept for three hours. When I woke up, it was snowing and it was freezing cold. I will only update once today!
