Chapter 299 Return to the Family [Subscription Request]

In a small border outpost in the south of Dayun Kingdom, Zhou Chun finally reunited with Zhou Mingde and his group.

While the group was resting here, he also took the opportunity to talk to Zhou Mingde about his experiences over the past six months.

When Zhou Chun learned that the credit for inventing the poison formula was taken away by "Master Fufeng", he suddenly felt absurd.

"It seems that no matter which world you are in, this kind of peach picking is inevitable!"

He was secretly filled with emotion.

This kind of thing was very common in his previous life and was not surprising at all.

This kind of thing exists in schools, companies, and units, and has even become a default rule.

But what he didn't expect was that in this world of cultivating immortals, this kind of thing was also so prevalent.

A dignified cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, a semi-immortal with a lifespan of thousands of years, would actually do this.

Perhaps the only difference between the two worlds is that one relies on power to achieve its goals, while the other relies on personal strength to achieve its goals.

After learning the truth about how the insect plague was eradicated, Zhou Chun also took the opportunity to show off his achievements in the past six months.

Within half a year, the three demon insects he contracted, "Black Armor Golden Feather", "Flying Fire Scorpion" and "Blue Moon Butterfly", were all hatched.

It’s just that because they have been in the wilderness all the time, and they don’t have many spirit coins and spiritual objects on them, Zhou Chun can’t prepare the most suitable food for their growth, so they are still just larvae now, and don’t look very powerful.

However, even larvae can be used to practice insect repellent techniques.

Therefore, Zhou Chun now has some experience in controlling the evil insects, and the results are pretty good.

"Not bad, not bad. It seems that it was a correct decision to give these insect eggs to you, Zhengchun, to practice the art of expelling insects. It seems that you have a good talent in this area!"

After watching Zhou Chun demonstrate his deworming technique with his own eyes, Zhou Mingde nodded in praise.

Among the cultivators who came to help Yang State this time, their Zhou family was undoubtedly the winner.

Although Shanyangzi and Qinglian Temple took the lion's share of the credit for contributing the prescription, the treasures and inheritance obtained from Han Yuan's tomb alone were enough for the Zhou family to live to their heart's content.

What's more, they also discovered a [Earth Crystal Jade] mine.

Such great achievements were made in less than a year, which made Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun, two insiders, feel very happy.

On the way back, the two of them also adopted a rotation system in order to get back to the family as soon as possible.

When the Fire God Jackal gets tired of flying, the Golden Winged Tiger will take over. When the Golden Winged Tiger is tired, the Silver Lightning Thunder Python Baibai will take over. Then Zhou Mingde will personally control the flying magic weapon to carry people to fly.

After this rotation, the Vulcan Jackal, which has rested and recovered, can continue the relay flight.

With this relay team traveling in this way, the speed is not slow at all.

It only took about five days to return safely to Yasukuni.

This speed is naturally much slower than the two days it took last time, but considering the difference in cultivation, it is actually very fast.

What made Zhou Chun and the others feel relieved was that although they had been away for more than half a year, everything was normal in the family and nothing bad had happened.

"Now let's talk about the distribution of the harvest in Yangguo this time!"

"Those magical instruments and the inheritance of the insect repelling technique are easy to learn. We all have places where they can be used."

"But what should we do with these two magic weapons and three spirit crystals?"

"These two items are eye-catching. Once exposed, it will be hard not to attract attention. But if they are sold, it would be a pity!"

In the cave on the top of Pagoda Peak, Zhou Mingde, Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Chun were in the same room, discussing the distribution of the harvest from Yangguo's trip.

As Zhou Daoquan had gone to the wilderness outpost to take charge, he did not know that Zhou Chun and the others had returned.

After hearing Zhou Mingde's words, Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Chun both lowered their heads slightly and fell into deep thought.

As Zhou Mingde said, important treasures like magic weapons and spirit crystals are indeed a bit hot to the touch for the Zhou family.

The magic weapon can only be used by Jindan-stage cultivators, so even if the Zhou family gets it, they can only put it in the warehouse and collect dust.

Although spiritual crystals can be used by cultivators like them, if people knew that the Zhou family actually had such strategic resources hidden, it would be hard not to be coveted by others.

After all, many Jindan-stage independent cultivators and Jindan-stage cultivators from Jindan families do not have such treasures.

But if we consider the long term, these two things are undoubtedly very important to the Zhou family.

You know, magic weapons are not easy to obtain.

Generally, if a Jindan-stage cultivator appears in a cultivation family with no background, the whole family will have to live frugally for decades to collect enough money for the Jindan-stage cultivator to buy magic weapons.

Moreover, the magic weapons that can usually be purchased with money are all of the lowest quality. The truly good magic weapons cannot be bought with spirit coins.

Although the Zhou family was once a Jindan family, they don’t have any magic weapons in their possession now.

Therefore, the two magic weapons obtained this time are also very useful to the Zhou family.

If a Jindan-stage cultivator were to appear in the Zhou family in the future, these two magic weapons would come in handy immediately, and the family would no longer have to tighten their belts to save money.

The same goes for the effect of spirit crystals.

For a Purple Mansion Stage cultivator like Zhou Mingde, if he had a spirit crystal in his hand, when he encountered an equally matched opponent, it would almost be like securing victory.

In this situation, it is really difficult to decide what to choose.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, Zhou Chun was the first to speak up: "I have a question. With our family's current power and reputation, can't we even keep a magic weapon?"

"Qinglian Temple has benefited from our family so much, and our family has always been respectful to them. If a Jindan-stage cultivator really hears the news and comes to seize the magic weapon, don't they have the responsibility to provide shelter for our family?"

Hearing what he said, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi's expressions changed and they couldn't help but look at each other.

Then Zhou Daoyi said, "In fact, as a subordinate force recognized by Qinglian Temple, our Zhou family does have the responsibility to protect us when facing looting by high-level cultivators."

"But Zhengchun, you also know that all Jindan-stage cultivators have great magical powers. If they really set their sights on our family, they naturally have many ways to hide their identities and prevent Qinglian Temple from finding out who did it."

"If we can't even find the murderer, how can we talk about revenge?"

After he finished speaking, Zhou Mingde also nodded and said, "Daoyi is right. Now I am not worried about Senior Shanyangzi's suspicion of my family. I am worried that Ruan Hongzhuang, who escaped at the beginning, will spread the news that the Zhou family has magic weapons to the Jindan-stage cultivators in Qi Kingdom in order to avenge me!" "If a Jindan-stage cultivator from Qi Kingdom really comes to Jingguo to cause trouble for us, I am afraid that Qinglian Temple will not be able to quench our thirst with distant water!"

After the two of them said this, Zhou Chun couldn't help but remain silent.

Indeed, after reaching the Golden Core Stage, one has basically gained the capital to do whatever one wants in this world of immortal cultivation.

As long as you don't seek death by provoking those forces headed by Nascent Soul cultivators, you don't need to have any scruples in most cases.

Therefore, if there really were a Jindan-stage cultivator from outside of Jingguo who came specifically to cause trouble for the Zhou family, it would not be something the Zhou family could easily resolve.

"so what should I do now?"

Zhou Chun, who always had many plans, was now at a loss and could only throw the problem back to the two elders.

"To ensure that everything is foolproof, we must invite a Jindan-stage cultivator to stay in the family for a few years, or we must have a trump card that even a Jindan-stage cultivator would be afraid of!"

Zhou Mingde pondered for a while and then expressed his opinion in a low voice.

After hearing what he said, Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Chun couldn't help but think about what he said.

Zhou Mingde's method is undoubtedly very helpful in solving the problem.

If Ruan Hongzhuang really persuaded a Jindan-stage cultivator to come and cause trouble for the Zhou family, he would definitely come within three to five years.

By then, if the other party knew that the Zhou family had the protection of a Jindan-stage cultivator, they would naturally no longer have any ideas about targeting the Zhou family.

And it would be even better if you could master the trump card that the Jindan stage cultivators would be wary of, as it would greatly enhance the overall strength of the family.

But neither of these two points is easy to achieve.

"It is not easy to invite a Jindan-stage cultivator, let alone let him stay in the family for a few years. If we want to achieve this, even if we are willing to offer a magic weapon, I am afraid it will not be easy to accomplish."

"As for mastering the trump card that makes Jindan stage cultivators fearful, it is even more difficult. It can basically be said to be impossible to do it!"

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Daoyi expressed his opinion in a deep voice.

He was right. Except for independent cultivators, Jindan-stage cultivators generally belonged to a faction. It would undoubtedly be difficult to let them stay in the Zhou family for a few years.

As for independent Jindan-stage cultivators, they are basically not considered by the Zhou family, because it would be easy to invite a wolf into the house.

Zhou Chun also thought of this and frowned as he said, "If we invite a Jindan-stage cultivator to come to the family, I'm afraid that once he understands the situation, he will easily raise the price. Even one magic weapon may not be enough to satisfy his appetite!"

The two of them discussed it one by one. Although neither of them opposed Zhou Mingde's opinion, they both thought that this matter was not so easy to handle.

But after listening to the two's words, Zhou Mingde said calmly: "It is inevitable to raise the price, it's just a matter of more or less!"

After that, he looked at the two of them and said, "If you think that asking someone for help is an option, I will go talk to them myself. Anyway, this matter needs to be done as soon as possible."

"Who are you going to invite? Senior Li from the Li family, or the senior from the You family?"

Zhou Daoyi looked at him with a little curiosity and asked.

"It's hard to say. Let's see the attitudes of the seniors first!"

Zhou Mingde shook his head slightly and did not give an answer.

After that, he rested in the family for a day, and then left the family mountain gate to visit several Jindan stage cultivators.

It is expected that Zhou Mingde's trip will not produce results in just one or two days.

After he left, Zhou Chun also returned to Zhongping Hall, completed the handover with Zhou Jiarui, who was in charge of family affairs on his behalf, and continued to perform the duties of the patriarch.

After he understood the development and changes of his family over the past six months, the first thing he did was to mobilize the family's strength to collect materials for cultivating the three kinds of demon insects for himself, and handed over several pill recipes to the seventh elder Zhou Zhengyuan.

Those pill recipes were all elixirs collected by Qianling Sect to promote the growth of demon insects, similar to the Zhou family’s “Beast Spirit Pills” and “Demon Spirit Pills”.

However, Zhou Chun had also seen these pill recipes and knew that refining these pills was much easier than refining pills for immortal cultivators.

In fact, the same is true for the "Beast Spirit Pill" and the "Demon Spirit Pill".

After all, the pills given to cultivators cannot be taken lightly at all, and the toxicity of the pills must be reduced to below a certain level, otherwise it will easily ruin their cultivation after taking them.

However, the elixirs given to monsters and insects are different. Monsters have powerful bloodlines, and their ability to dissolve elixir poison is much stronger than that of cultivators. As long as the poison is not the kind that directly damages the flesh and blood, it will not have any effect on them.

Most of the evil insects do not live long, and most are not very strong, so even if they are forced to grow, the impact will not be significant.

As long as the pills we give them don't destroy or affect their reproductive ability, that's fine.

Another point is that the raw materials for refining the elixir for the monster insects to eat are mostly the flesh, internal organs, bones and certain minerals of monster beasts, while herbal medicines only account for a small part.

This means that the difficulty of finding all those raw materials is much easier than that of making pills for cultivators.

In addition, Zhou Chun did not keep the inheritance of the art of expelling insects to himself.

Except for the forbidden techniques of Qianling Sect which are inconvenient for ordinary members to know, most of the inherited insect repellent techniques are open to members of different levels of identity according to their rarity, and they can choose to practice them.

Of course, if they choose to practice the art of expelling insects, they will have to find the relevant demon insects themselves. The family currently has no good demon insects for them to choose from.

The family had inherited a new skill of repelling insects, and the news spread quickly in the Zhou family, and indeed aroused the interest of many family members.

After all, it is very rare to find cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation who know how to drive away insects.

The rarer a method is, the more it means that most monks lack the experience to deal with it.

Therefore, some Zhou family cultivators who have ideas naturally want to see if they can learn some insect repellent techniques to add a trump card for themselves.

Several elders of the Zhou family all thought the same.

These are what Zhou Chunle saw.

Having already made some achievements in the art of repelling insects, he knew clearly that if he wanted the art of repelling insects to be passed down and play a role in the Zhou family, he must let as many members of the Zhou family as possible practice it.

Because only when the base number is large enough can some sufficiently excellent insect species be cultivated.

When the Zhou family has more than a dozen excellent insect species that are worthy of being passed down, then the art of repelling insects can be said to have truly taken root in the Zhou family and become a family heritage that is no less valuable than the art of taming beasts.

For this purpose, he has even begun to consider setting up an insect garden. He plans to build another insect garden specifically for breeding demon insects in addition to the zoo.
