Chapter 279 The dust has settled, family changes [Subscribe]

When Zhou Chun woke up, he was already inside the Su family's mountain gate.

In fact, he has always known that the Su family has arranged special people to follow and protect them in secret to prevent them from being in real danger of life.

However, if Su Yuzhen didn't see through the maze of love, those people would not show up.

When Su Yuzhen saw through the maze of love, he naturally understood this point. He called out the people who had been following and protecting him secretly and brought them back to the Su family's mountain gate.

So after Zhou Chun woke up, the seal on him had been removed by the ancestor of the Su family, and his magical powers were restored.

At this moment, he felt the magic power in his body was no longer restricted, and he understood what was happening without anyone explaining it to him.

Then he swept his spiritual sense and found Su Yuzhen waiting outside.

"Brother Zhou, are you awake? Can you come out and talk to me?"

After sensing Zhou Chun's consciousness, Su Yuzhen quickly opened his mouth to invite him.

Hearing her calm words, Zhou Chun immediately confirmed his guess.

He immediately responded in a deep voice: "Fellow Daoist Su, please wait a moment."

After saying that, he stood up, tidied his appearance, thought about a few questions carefully, and only after he had the answers in his mind did he strode out of the room.

When he got outside, he saw Su Yuzhen, who had recovered her cultivation to the Purple Mansion stage and was dressed in her usual clothes, sitting in the living room waiting for him.

Seeing him coming out at this time, Su Yuzhen immediately said politely: "How is your recovery, Brother Zhou? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Thank you for your concern, Fellow Daoist Su. Zhou is fine now. There is no need for you to worry about me."

Zhou Chun waved his hand and responded politely.

This polite yet unfamiliar tone made both of them silent for a moment.

After all, in the previous three years, the two of them were close friends, sharing weal and woe.

Everything has suddenly become so polite and distant that anyone would feel weird and find it hard to adapt.

But the words that need to be said still need to be said.

After being silent for a while, Zhou Chun spoke first, "Since Fellow Daoist Su is fine, my mission is considered complete. I have been away from home for three or four years, and there must be a lot of things piled up at home that I need to go back and deal with."

Hearing his words, Su Yuzhen's eyes moved slightly, as if she had heard something.

Then she nodded her head and said, "I understand what Daoist Brother Zhou meant. I will explain this to the old ancestor and ask him to let Daoist Brother Zhou go home."

"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Su."

Zhou Chun cupped his hands and expressed his gratitude profusely.

Then the two of them fell into silent silence again.

After an unknown amount of time of silence, Su Yuzhen chose to speak first.

She bowed to Zhou Chunfu with a look of gratitude and said, "No matter what, I have to thank you for your companionship and care over the past three years. If it weren't for you, I don't know how long I would have to sink into despair before I could break through the barrier and regain my sanity."

Zhou Chun heard this, but he politely replied: "Fellow Daoist Su, you are too kind. The ability to see through the maze mainly depends on your own ability. I am just providing some assistance."

Hearing his answer, Su Yuzhen couldn't help but shake her head slightly, looked at him sincerely and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, you are welcome. I am not someone who doesn't distinguish between gratitude and resentment. I have always kept in mind your help and have never forgotten it."

"Of course, I have no other intention in saying this. I just want to tell Fellow Daoist Zhou that no matter what you think, you can come to the Su family and tell me if you need my help. If I can help, I will definitely not refuse."

Having said that, she stood up and walked out the door without waiting for Zhou Chun to say anything else.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, please wait here for a moment. I will go to see the ancestor and explain the situation."

Looking at Su Yuzhen's departing back, Zhou Chun clenched his fingers with a complicated expression.

Up to now, he actually didn't know how he felt towards Su Yuzhen.

If he wants to say he likes someone, he doesn't have that strong feeling of liking him, not that kind of strong heart-pounding liking.

But he no longer rejects the other person, and is no longer opposed to having such a person around him.

At the same time, he has realized that there must be something wrong with the technique that Su Yuzhen was practicing. He can't control his urge to get intimate with her when he is around her, and it must be because of her technique.

But for some reason, Zhou Chun just had no intention of becoming a Taoist couple with Su Yuzhen.

In other words, the idea was not strong and he had no intention of doing so.

Human emotions are so strange that often the best and most suitable solution may not be what people like.

What others see as a match made in heaven may not be what the parties involved think.

Others may think that the person's behavior is pretentious, but the person may have different thoughts in his mind.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many things in the world that seem so melodramatic and bizarre but actually exist.

Zhou Chun is an expert on the battlefield and in handling family affairs. He is both brave and resourceful.

But when it comes to matters between men and women, he is indeed not as good as ordinary people.

He himself did not realize that, subconsciously, he was actually somewhat afraid of these things, and subconsciously he did not want to get involved in these things.

Su Yuzhen is very efficient in his work.

Zhou Chun didn't have to wait long before the Su family's ancestor summoned him over for a talk.

"Boy, what on earth is going on in your head? You and Yu Zhen have done everything that should be done. In the past three years, you have experienced things that many mortal couples and cultivators may not be able to experience in their entire lives."

"It has come to this, but you still have no intention of becoming a Taoist couple with Yu Zhen. Old Ancestor, I also want to know what you are thinking."

"Tell me, the ancestor, what is the reason that makes you so reluctant to become a Taoist partner with Yu Zhen!"

Inside the cave, after Zhou Chun finished paying his respects, the Su family ancestor looked at him with a very bad expression and began to question him.

Originally, the Su family's ancestor believed that he was a good judge of people and had already seen through Zhou Chun's character.

But now this result made him feel very uncomfortable, and it was hard for him to accept the fact that he had made a mistake.

Faced with the questioning of the Su family's ancestor, Zhou Chun didn't know how to answer for a moment.

If Su Yuzhen asked this, he might have other words to deal with it.

But when it came to the questioning of the Su family ancestor, those words were not easy to deal with. After a long silence, he whispered: "It is difficult for the junior to answer the question of the ancestor. If I really want to give a reason, maybe it is because we are not destined to be together!"

"Bullshit, we are not destined to be together!"

"Old Ancestor, I think you just don't know what's good for you and have a short-sighted vision!"

The Su family's ancestor looked at Zhou Chun angrily and shouted, "If it weren't for Yu Zhen's plea, I would have let you know how serious the consequences of disrespecting me are!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and threw a jade bottle into Zhou Chun's hand.

"Take your things and get out of the Su family immediately. I don't want to see you again!"

Seeing this scene, Zhou Chun said nothing more. After bowing, he left.

After Zhou Chun left, the Su family patriarch waved his sleeves and released Su Yuzhen, whose whereabouts he had hidden, from the side.

At this moment, Su Yuzhen's face looked somewhat bleak and sad. It was obvious that Zhou Chun's words just now still had a certain impact on her.

She didn't really take it that easy.

Seeing this, the Su family ancestor couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Yu Zhen, you also heard what that kid said. Anyway, your love tribulation has been resolved now, and there will be no more obstacles before you form the elixir. From now on, you can practice in the family with peace of mind!"

"Yes, grandson will follow the old ancestor's instructions."

Su Yuzhen responded in a low voice and didn't want to say anything more at this moment.

On the other side, after Zhou Chun left the Su family’s mountain gate, he also went straight to the family.

On the way, he checked the jade bottle that the ancestor of the Su family gave him. Inside was five light golden elixirs, which were the rewards that the ancestor of the Su family promised when he sealed his cultivation.

The name of the magic pill is Jinyang Pill. It is a kind of magic pill suitable for cultivators who are building their foundation by practicing the Gold Element Method. Its efficacy is better than any other magic pills that Zhou Chun had taken before to improve his cultivation.

Even with his current cultivation level of the middle stage of foundation building, taking one pill would be equivalent to nearly two years of hard training, and five pills would be equivalent to ten years.

With these five elixirs in hand, Zhou Chun's cultivation growth rate will not be slowed down due to the previous three years of seal, but will grow faster.

Moreover, the three years of worldly experience had indeed tempered his personal will and made him gain a lot in terms of spiritual will.

After rushing back to the family, Zhou Jiarui, who had been handling family affairs for three years, saw Zhou Chun, who had returned to the family after more than three years. He looked at him with surprise and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Thank God, Zhengchun, you are finally back!"

"Yeah, I'm finally back!"

Zhou Chun sighed, also filled with emotion.

Then he looked at Zhou Jiarui and asked, "During the three years that I was away, nothing major happened in the family, right?"

"Nothing major has happened, but there are so many things going on that I have a headache dealing with them. If you don't experience it yourself, it's hard to know how difficult it is for you, Zhengchun, to be the clan leader!"

Zhou Jiarui raised his hand and knocked his head, looking like he had a headache and said with emotion.

When Zhou Chun heard what he said, he just smiled.

As the family power grew and the number of cultivators increased, the Zhou family head's affairs indeed became more and more numerous.

If he were not someone who already had profound experience in many matters, it would be difficult for him to suddenly take over the responsibilities of the clan leader.

Many things that have not been dealt with before can only be handled by looking through past files and comparing them with previous handling methods.

At this time, he looked at Zhou Jiarui and said, "Uncle Eleven has worked hard in the past few years. Now that I am back, Uncle Eleven should have a good rest from now on."

"I've been waiting for this day. I've been waiting for this day!"

Zhou Jiarui immediately showed a happy smile on his face, and handed the token representing his identity as the clan leader directly to Zhou Chun, very quickly and efficiently.

After getting the clan leader's token back, Zhou Chun went to see Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi again and briefly explained his experience in the Su family.

Upon learning that Zhou Chun still had no intention of becoming a Taoist couple with Su Yuzhen, Zhou Mingde was quite dissatisfied.

But now that things have come to this, he couldn't say anything more. He could only sigh and shake his head and let the matter go.

After coming out of the cave on the top of the mountain, Zhou Chun began to look through the archives to understand what had happened to the Zhou family in the past three or four years.

More than three years have passed, and the Zhou family has seen significant growth in both population and resources.

In particular, during these three years, several younger generations of the Zhou family discovered a nest of earth-armored spiders while traveling in the frontier outpost, which helped the Zhou family add a new monster with very high economic value.

As a low-level monster, the Earth Armored Spider is not very powerful.

However, this monster is rarely seen because it is good at digging holes and only lives in dark underground caves.

The spider silk in the silk sac of the earth armor spider, before being sprayed out, is a very good material for weaving robes and flags.

There were exactly six unhatched spider eggs in the nest of the Earth-Armored Spider Demon discovered by several younger generations of the Zhou family. Now these spider eggs have hatched in the Zhou family and formed a small population.

In addition to the newly acquired economical monster, the red-eyed dragon vulture and dragon-clawed monitor lizard brought back by the Zhou family have also begun to lay eggs. The Zhou family has finally localized these two dragon-born monsters.

Up to now, the various monsters in the Zhou family's beast garden can contribute tens of thousands of spirit coins to the family every year, and industrialization has been initially achieved.

In addition, the black crystal stone mine that the Zhou family participated in co-developing has also entered a high-output stage, and can now provide the Zhou family with black crystal stone ore worth nearly 20,000 spirit coins every year.

But these are not the things that make Zhou Chun happiest.

What made him happiest was the Zhou family's talent cultivation.

With the family's unstinting training, Zhou Xindie has successfully mastered the methods of arranging five formations. He can be called a true formation master. His talent in formations has been tested in practice. In the future, he may really have the hope to succeed the late second elder Zhou Chongshan.

Another younger cultivator, Zhou Xintie, who also possesses a strong talent in refining equipment, can already refine finished first-grade lower-grade magical instruments for sale. His future is also worth looking forward to.

However, the one who made the fastest progress was Zhou Xinlan, who was learning the art of alchemy.

Thanks to the guidance of the alchemist Zhou Zhengyuan and his own good talent, Zhou Xinlan's alchemy skills are getting better and better every year. Now he can refine low-level pills such as Beast Spirit Pills on his own.

These younger talents are far more important to the family than a mineral vein or a population of monsters.

When they grow up, the value they create for the family will be far beyond what a mineral vein or a population of monsters can match.

Zhou Chun now only hopes that nothing else will happen in the Lanzhou cultivation world, so that the Zhou family can have more time to develop in peace.

As long as there is another twenty or thirty years of development, the overall strength of the Zhou family will definitely be more than twice as strong as it is now!
