Chapter 324: Establishing the Intelligence Hall [Subscription Request]

It seems that Zhao Xin is not as he said. He is not just a lone cultivator after the sect fell into ruin. Perhaps there is some other force behind him.

But Zhou Chun didn't seem to want to know anything about it.

He knew without thinking that Zhao Xin and certain forces behind him wanted to seek revenge on the Corpse Demon Cult and wanted to bring the Cult down from its pedestal.

Regardless of whether they can do this or not, even if they can, it will definitely come at a very high price.

The Zhou family is doing quite well now, and Zhou Chun doesn't want to bring trouble to himself and the Zhou family and become a pawn in the hands of others.

So when faced with Zhao Xin's implicit hints and suspenseful behavior, he did not fall for it and ask more questions. Instead, he quickly got away.

On the way back to his family, Zhou Chun sat on the back of the golden-winged tiger, secretly reviewing his previous battle with the thin and tall middle-aged man, and even the battle with Zhou Yu.

In the battle with Zhou Yu, the power of the two kinds of demon insects was preliminarily tested.

Although the "Black Armor and Golden Feathers" did not seem to be of much use, in fact, as a demon insect that attracted direct firepower, they were able to lose less than a hundred of them under Zhou Yu's several attacks, which had already revealed their value.

The poison needles of the "Flying Fire Scorpion" can even poison a top-grade second-tier monster like the golden civet cat, so its value is needless to say.

In general, choosing to practice the art of insect repelling should not have been a wrong choice.

As for the battle with the thin middle-aged man, Zhou Chun could only sigh that the Purple Mansion Stage cultivator was worthy of being a Purple Mansion Stage cultivator, and his strength was totally incomparable to that of the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.

Even if he had a third-level magic talisman on him, he could only hold out for a while longer against a Purple Mansion Stage cultivator. Without the help of the Fire God Jackal, he wouldn't be able to escape.

"But the appearance of that third-level refined corpse seems to be somewhat similar to that of a cultivator of the Dragon Transformation Sect who performed the Dragon Transformation Secret Art. Could it be that it was refined using the corpse of the Dragon Transformation Sect cultivator that we obtained earlier?"

Zhou Chun felt that this should be true. After all, according to his understanding, most of the refined corpses that had been revealed to the public by the Corpse Demon Cult were not as strange as what he had seen.

Moreover, the aura emitted by the refined corpse was only of the lower third level, but it was able to hold the Fire God Jackal for so long without being torn to pieces, which also indirectly shows that its body is very powerful.

Judging from this, the Corpse Demon Cult obtained so many corpses of the Dragon Transformation Cult monks in the past, and I am afraid that they have now secretly refined a batch of powerful Dragon Blood Demon Corpses!

This made Zhou Chun even more pessimistic about the plans of Zhao Xin and his people.

A day later, Zhou Chun returned safely to the gate of Jiufengling Mountain, and then went directly to pay a visit to Zhou Mingde. While returning the Fire God Jackal, he explained the relevant situation.

When Zhou Mingde heard that Zhou Chun had killed Zhou Yu and his grandson, he just sighed slightly and didn't say much.

However, when he heard that Zhou Chun was robbed and killed by a Purple Mansion Stage cultivator from the Corpse Demon Cult, his face changed drastically and he was extremely shocked.

Later, he heard about how Zhou Chun and Zhao Xin, who suddenly showed up, joined forces to kill the Purple Mansion monk of the Corpse Demon Cult. He stood up in shock.

It was not until he heard about Zhou Chun and Zhao Xin's return to Jingguo and Zhou Chun's speculations about Zhao Xin's origins that he sat back down.

"Anyway, this is the situation. I didn't expect such a sudden change to happen, but things have come to this point and there is nothing that can be changed!"

After Zhou Chun finished speaking, he stepped aside and stood still.

Zhou Mingde did not speak immediately, but just lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

The quiet atmosphere lasted for a long time before Zhou Mingde raised his head and sighed, "Well, just like what you said, Zhengchun, since it has already happened, what else is there to say?"

"It's all my fault that I made the wrong decision. I should have let you and Jiahe come back first!"

If Zhou Chun had come back first, with his strength he could have captured Zhou Yu in a moment and would not have attracted the attack of the Corpse Demon Cult monks.

But there is no medicine for regret in the world. Since things have already happened, it is useless to think about it now.

So after Zhou Mingde sighed, he straightened his expression, looked at Zhou Chun with a serious look and said, "Since there is nothing of the Corpse Demon Cult monk on you, Zhengchun, and you didn't kill him, I think this matter won't be traced back to our Zhou family."

"But now that the Corpse Demon Cult is hunting down cultivators who practice the art of repelling insects, you have to be careful from now on. You must not reveal your identity as an insect cultivator in front of others. The younger generations in the family must also warn you carefully."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun quickly assured, "Don't worry, Grand Elder. I will pay attention."

After saying that, he also asked with concern: "How are the black jade toads now? Grand Elder, have you found a way to restore their vitality?"

Hearing his words, Zhou Mingde frowned deeply again.

He couldn't help but shake his head and said, "No, I tried to feed them a lot of spiritual medicine, but there is still no improvement. It seems that their lifespan is really coming to an end!"

It turned out that after Zhou Mingde discovered that the vitality of the Black Jade Toad had plummeted, he examined it and initially believed that it was caused by a sharp decrease in lifespan.

However, because the Black Jade Toad was famous for its longevity, he did not dare to jump to conclusions.

After bringing the child back to the family and feeding him many spiritual medicines but seeing no effect, he finally dared to confirm his judgment.

"That's such a shame!"

Zhou Chun sighed softly, feeling very sorry about this.

If you calculate it this way, the Zhou family almost lost money on this deal.

A foundation-building pill was wasted by Zhou Yu's useless great-grandson, and the black jade toad obtained in exchange could no longer provide toad venom.

If Zhou Chun had not killed Zhou Yu's grandparents and grandchildren and obtained their magical instruments and relics, he would have suffered a great loss.

But if you count the few third-level talismans I used last week, I actually didn’t make much money.

However, this is how things are in the world. It is impossible to make money without losing money every time.

It is normal for people to have gains and losses.

Zhou Chun then returned to his residence, rested for a few days, and then went out to the Su family in Jiangzhou.

Now that Zhou Chun is the son-in-law of the Su family, when he arrives at the Su family's mountain gate, he does not need to report anything and will be allowed in directly.

It was not until he arrived in front of his Taoist companion Su Yuzhen's cave that Su Yuzhen knew of his arrival.

This also surprised her.

So when they met, she couldn't help but look at Zhou Chun and said, "My husband, why did you have time to come and see me today?"

"Madam, why do you say that? Are you complaining that I don't come to visit you more often?"

Zhou Chun said with a pretended displeasure.

Then, without waiting for Su Yuzhen's explanation, he smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Madam, don't worry about it. I was just joking with you."

Su Yuzhen's face suddenly became much better when she heard this, but she still explained, "Yes, I was just surprised by your sudden arrival, and I don't really blame you." After that, she stretched out her hand and said, "Please follow me into the house first, my husband!"

After the two of them entered the room and Su Yuzhen brewed the spiritual tea, Zhou Chun no longer kept the secret and immediately explained his purpose.

"I came to see you this time because we haven't seen each other for a while. I wanted to come and see you. I also wanted to give you a gift because I got a spiritual object recently."

As he said that, he slapped the storage bag on his waist and took out the Yunshui Swan Egg that he had exchanged for at the underground Yibao Club.

"This is the egg of the intermediate-level demon beast Yunshuihu. I see that Madam has not yet tamed a spirit beast, so I want to give this to Madam. I hope Madam will accept it."

It turned out that he had exchanged the Yunshui Hu in order to give it to Su Yuzhen as a contemporary spirit beast.

Su Yuzhen never expected that Zhou Chun suddenly came to see her today just to give her such a gift.

She couldn't help but stand there in a daze for a moment, staring at Zhou Chun blankly, almost suspecting that she had heard it wrong.

It was not until Zhou Chun handed her the Yunshui swan egg as big as a watermelon and she looked down at the huge bird egg that she realized that all this was true.

Then a warm current instantly surged out from her heart and flowed to every part of her body. An indescribable feeling surged in her heart, making her want to laugh and cry at the same time.

"Husband, you... put in a lot of effort!"

She held the bird egg handed to her by Zhou Chun in both hands and murmured softly.

I don't know how to express the surging emotions in my heart.

"I hope Madam likes this gift."

Zhou Chun smiled slightly, and seemed to be able to feel Su Yuzhen's inner affection, and immediately stepped forward and hugged her.

For the next month, Zhou Chun stayed at the Su family with his Taoist partner and did not go anywhere else.

This gift-giving greatly warmed the relationship between him and Su Yuzhen. Su Yuzhen this time truly felt a hint of affection from him.

Although this affection may not be particularly strong, it is very precious to her.

So much so that after the two of them practiced dual cultivation several times, her cultivation base increased at a rate comparable to that of taking medicinal pills, and her comprehension of the "Su Nu Xuan Gong" technique also increased rapidly, as if she had suddenly attained enlightenment.

In the end, Zhou Chun had to end her trip to the Su family early so that she could practice in seclusion and not waste this opportunity.

After Zhou Chun returned to the Zhou family, he took over the family power from Zhou Jiarui and performed the duties of the patriarch.

At this time, including the time he went to Feng Country, he had not dealt with clan affairs for almost five months.

After he returned to Zhongping Palace, the first thing he did was to check the things he had arranged previously.

The result did not disappoint him. Zhou Zhengxun had already dealt with the useless monsters in the Zhou family zoo according to his requirements, freeing up a lot of living space for other monsters.

The news coming back from Longxing Valley was all good news.

More than five months have passed, and none of the Zhou family's assassins have died. Instead, they have collected many spiritual medicine resources for the family.

At the same time, according to what Zhou Zhengyong said in the letter, after he explored and drew a detailed map of the 300-mile radius of Longxing Valley, he has begun to arrange people to explore further, and is also preparing to explore the surrounding mountains and rivers to search for spiritual mineral resources.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately wrote a letter in reply, asking Zhou Zhengyong not to be too hasty for success, but to focus on exploration and map drawing first, and not to blindly go deep into the wilderness, so as to avoid unnecessary losses as much as possible.

This letter was sent by Zhou Daoyi because his son Baibai was still in a weak state and it was not convenient for him to travel for the time being.

In order to keep an eye on the changes in the situation in Fengguo and even the news from other states in Jingguo, Zhou Chun came up with a new idea.

He summoned some monks from the Zhou family who knew how to train eagles, and asked them to select those who were good at eagle training from the mortals in the Zhou family and train them to form the Zhou family's intelligence hall.

According to Zhou Chun's plan, the Zhou family will arrange for monks to be stationed in the towns and cities of each state in Jingguo in the future, and establish intelligence stations.

The mission of the monks stationed in the market town is to collect some important information circulating in the local market and promptly transmit it back to the family through the Swift Eagle Relay for the family's top leaders to read.

This is a very ambitious plan, and to complete it, a lot of manpower and material resources are needed.

The personal training expenses of the Zhou family monks stationed in various markets alone would be a considerable expense, not to mention the special subsidies that would be given to them to facilitate their gathering of information, as well as the special rewards for conveying certain important intelligence.

However, it is foreseeable that once this intelligence system is built as Zhou Chun envisioned, it will definitely bring unexpected benefits to the Zhou family.

No one knows the importance of intelligence information better than Zhou Chun.

"Well, if we want to ensure that intelligence is not intercepted and used by others, we have to train intelligence personnel to use a completely new language."

As for what new characters to use, Zhou Chun had an idea in his mind on the spot.

That was naturally the English that had given him a headache to learn in his previous life.

The common characters used in this world today are quite similar to the characters he often used in his previous life. If he used that kind of characters, there would be a risk of being deciphered.

But for English letters, this possibility does not exist at all.

Do it when you think of it.

Zhou Chun immediately used his free time to compile a translation dictionary, and then he would let the intelligence monks in the clan study the dictionary.

Time passed slowly, and soon another year had passed.

During this year, Zhou Chun successfully compiled the translation dictionary and taught it to several intelligence monks in the clan.

The Yunzhou intelligence station was also established first, and some of the collected intelligence would be transmitted to the family’s mountain gate via Eagle News every once in a while.

The establishment of this intelligence line also benefited the pioneer outpost. Zhou Jiapeng, who was stationed there, could communicate with his family more conveniently.

At the same time, Zhou Chun also hatched the "carrion moth" eggs he had obtained a year ago, and secretly cultivated this evil insect.

"Corpse moths" like to eat things that contain yin energy and corpse energy. Zhou Chun would occasionally go to the cemeteries where mortals gathered and let them drill into the cemeteries to absorb the corpse energy contained in the corpses inside.

But Zhou Chun actually didn't have any high hopes for this monster insect. He just wanted to cultivate the insect's eggs and make preparations in advance.

This way, if there really is a conflict with the Corpse Demon Cult one day, we will have an extra trump card.

On this day, when it was Zhou Chun's turn to take supplies to Longxing Valley for handover, as soon as he arrived at Longxing Valley, he heard a surprising news.
