Chapter 326 Zhou Xinlan's chance, the Heavenly Mirror Ceremony [Subscription Request]

The success of "Tian Jing San Ren" in breaking the elixir and forming an infant became a hot topic in various parts of Jingguo.

Many forces that are more sensitive to this matter are waiting for subsequent developments.

For example, the Zhou family had already sent monks to stake out around the "Tianjing Villa" in Lingzhou to obtain first-hand information.

And the news about subsequent developments soon spread everywhere.

Some people said that the Yuanying stage masters of the three major forces came together to visit Master Tianjing, and had "persuaded" Master Tianjing to become the guest supreme elder of the three major forces and occupy an entire state.

Some people also said that Master Tianjing had fought with the Nascent Soul masters of the three major forces, and had been taught a lesson by those veteran Nascent Soul masters, and things would continue to remain the same in the future.

Some people also said that Master Tianjing is now in seclusion to consolidate his cultivation and has no intention of meeting other masters in the Nascent Soul stage.

In short, all kinds of true and false news are everywhere, making it difficult to distinguish the truth from the false.

Zhou Chun also went to the Su family in Jiangzhou to inquire about the news, but even a figure like the ancestor of the Su family did not know too much about the inside story. He only knew that Yuanying stage masters from the three major forces had indeed gone to Tianjing Villa.

So he could only ask people to continue collecting more information while waiting for the situation to develop.

After another half a year, there was still no further useful information from Master Tianjing, but there was good news from the Zhou family.

"Is this the toad egg laid by the black jade toad?"

In the cave on the top of the mountain, Zhou Chun looked at the pool of black toad eggs in the jade box in front of him, his eyes full of surprise.

The toad eggs in front of him looked like ordinary frog eggs, only slightly larger in size.

Generally speaking, the eggs laid by monsters will contain some spiritual power.

"These are indeed eggs laid by the Black Jade Toad, but as you can see, it is not that easy to hatch real Black Jade Toads from these eggs!"

Zhou Mingde said with a serious expression.

It turned out that he called Zhou Chun over today because the female black jade toad suddenly laid eggs last night.

And after laying eggs, the female toad died soon.

The male toad is now neither eating nor drinking, and its vitality is rapidly declining. It is estimated that it will not live for many more days.

But no matter what, the toad eggs laid are better for the Zhou family than holding two dying black jade toads.

So this is really good news.

Zhou Chun also said at this time: "It is a good thing to be able to lay toad eggs. As for whether these toad eggs can hatch real black jade toads, we can slowly verify and cultivate them in the future."

These toad eggs were also handed over to Zhou Mingde to hatch and cultivate personally, without relying on anyone else.

After another half a year, all the toad eggs hatched into tadpoles and began to metamorphose and evolve.

But at this time, Zhou Mingde, who was raising these tadpoles, discovered that the tadpoles grew and evolved very slowly.

He fed the tadpoles the best spiritual beast food that the Zhou family had, and the tadpoles ate happily, but they grew very slowly.

This result made Zhou Mingde feel depressed and he had a bad premonition.

He thought of the Black Jade Toad’s long lifespan!
Now the tadpoles grow so slowly. Is it because the black jade toad has an extremely long lifespan, which causes its larval period to be much longer than that of other frogs?

If this is true, it is not good news for him and the Zhou family.

One day, Zhou Chun was working in Zhongping Hall when he suddenly received a report from outside that Zhou Xinlan, a core member of the family, wanted to see him.

After he agreed, he saw Zhou Xinlan rushing into the hall with a happy face.

Seeing this, he felt something in his heart, knowing that something happy was going to happen.

But he was very patient, and waited until Zhou Xinlan finished her greetings before he slowly spoke: "Tell me, what makes you so happy?"

"In reply to the clan leader, this junior went to the pioneer base to train and explore the wilderness. Luckily, I found a mid-level demon beast, the Blue-Feathered Fire Kite, laying eggs. Then the Sixth Elder personally led two Blue-Feathered Fire Kite away, and this junior stole two bird eggs. Please have a look, clan leader!"

As Zhou Xinlan spoke, he raised his hand and patted the storage bag on his waist, took out a jade box and handed it to Zhou Chun.

Zhou Chun took the jade box and opened it. Inside, he saw two blue and white bird eggs wrapped in soft animal skin. Each egg was as big as an adult's fist.

Although I don’t know whether this is a real Blue-Feathered Fire Kite egg, judging from the spiritual power contained in the bird egg, it is undoubtedly a mid-level monster egg.

He immediately smiled and nodded, "Very good, it seems that I was right to let you go to the pioneer base to train, otherwise how could you have encountered such an opportunity!"

After he paused for a moment, he asked in a deep voice, "Are you going to give these two bird eggs to the family?"

"Yes, the Sixth Elder said that this treasure should be donated to the family and distributed by the clan leader and the supreme elders!"

Zhou Xinlan nodded without hesitation, without any reluctance on her face.

This made Zhou Chun even more satisfied.

So he smiled and said, "In that case, each bird egg will be counted as 4,000 points of family merit. You and the Sixth Elder will each get 4,000 points of merit!"

After that, he looked at Zhou Xinlan meaningfully and asked, "You now have more than 7,000 good deeds. Do you have anything to say?"

Hearing his almost explicit words, Zhou Xinlan immediately understood and replied respectfully: "Patriarch, I want to exchange for a foundation-building pill!"

"Okay, then this foundation-building pill will be yours!"

Zhou Chun said "OK" and patted the storage bag on his waist. He took out a jade bottle containing the Foundation Establishment Pill and threw it to Zhou Xinlan.

After Zhou Xinlan received the jade bottle and opened the stopper with a look of joy to check the medicine inside, Zhou Chun said again: "Now that you have obtained the foundation-building pill, you should prepare to start building your foundation and don't leave the family mountain gate again."

"Yes, junior, I obey."

Zhou Xinlan responded loudly and happily, and left Zhongping Hall happily.

Zhou Chun looked at the two blue-feathered fire kite eggs in his hand and fell into deep thought.

As an intermediate-level demon beast, the Blue-Feathered Fire Kite is not only an excellent spiritual beast for transportation, but also a combat spiritual pet whose potential and strength are no less than Zhu Yunhe's.

It is indeed worth Zhou Chun's careful consideration to decide who should be assigned to hatch these two blue-feathered fire kite eggs.

Among all the elders of the Zhou family, currently only the Sixth Elder Zhou Jiapeng's spiritual pet, the Golden-winged Iron-feathered Eagle, is a second-level monster. Although the other elders all have first-level top-quality monster pets, none of them has trained their pets to the second level.

Therefore, this Blue-Feathered Fire Kite Egg, which would become a second-level demon beast when it grows up, must be something that all these elders want.

But Zhou Chun felt that if he gave these two monster eggs to the elders, they would not be able to be fully utilized.

"It seems that this little fellow Xinyan is almost an adult. With the speed at which his cultivation increases, he will be able to reach the twelfth level of the Qi Refining Stage at the age of thirty at most. If I give him a Blue-Feathered Fire Kite Egg now, by the time he succeeds in building his foundation, this demon beast will almost be an adult!"

"Give the most talented descendant in the family an intermediate monster egg. I'm sure none of the elders will object!"

He muttered to himself, and gradually made up his mind. Soon, the news that Zhou Xinlan offered two Blue Feather Fire Kite Eggs in exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills spread throughout the Zhou Family Mountain Gate. All the Zhou Family cultivators who heard the news envied his opportunity.

Then many Qi Refining cultivators began to worry about the number of Foundation Establishment Pills in their family.

Because the two foundation-building pills given by Lin Hongyu were not easy to make public, the Zhou family only had two foundation-building pills bought from Rong State and two foundation-building pills exchanged from Qinglian Temple.

Of these four foundation-building pills, Zhou Zhengyong and Zhou Zhengtao used one each, and now Zhou Xinlan has exchanged for one.

In the eyes of those Zhou family cultivators who did not know the truth, this was the only foundation-building pill left in the family.

But don’t forget that the Zhou family now has a member like Zhou Xinyan who has top-grade spiritual roots.

According to family rules, family members with superior spiritual roots are directly the family's "foundation-building seeds", and they must be given priority to be supplied with a foundation-building pill.

If Zhou Chun now strictly adheres to this rule, it means that even if other Zhou family cultivators have collected 5,000 points of family merit, they will not be able to exchange them for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Thinking of this, several Qi-refining cultivators of the Zhou family who were still short of 5,000 merit points could not sit still and immediately found Zhou Chun, asking him this question openly and covertly.

"Don't worry, the family still has two foundation-building pills left. As long as you can gather enough good deeds in time, you still have hope of exchanging them!"

Since this was an issue concerning the family's reputation, Zhou Chun still responded at this time to reassure people.

After getting his assurance, the tribesmen felt relieved.

Three months passed like this, and Zhou Xinlan successfully established his foundation and came out of seclusion, becoming the seventh foundation-building cultivator of the Zhou family.

His success also made Zhou Zhengyong and his son a legend.

Two people in one family have established their foundation, and both father and son are elders.

This situation is not very common even among those Jindan families.

This successful example also inspired other Zhou family cultivators to fight harder.

Since Zhou Xinlan can discover the spawning of intermediate monsters outside, he can gain huge merits with the help of family elders.

Why can't they?

As long as the Zhou family cultivators offer spiritual objects to the family, they can obtain varying amounts of good deeds as rewards. Even if they do not gain as much as Zhou Xinlan, they can still accumulate small amounts and achieve their goals.

Zhou Chun was still happy to see this situation.

As the patriarch, he hopes to see his clansmen working hard and striving for progress. Only in this way can the family appear full of vitality.

Time passed slowly, and three years after the news of Tian Jing Zhenren's breaking of the elixir and forming a baby had passed, "Tian Jing Villa" finally issued an official announcement.

On this day, Zhou Chun was practicing in the room with his Taoist companion Su Yuzhen, who came to visit him at Zhou's house. Suddenly, the warning formation outside his courtyard gate was triggered one after another.

Generally speaking, if you simply come to see him for something, you just need to trigger the warning circle once and wait for him to open the door.

Only when something extremely important to the family happens will the visitor continuously trigger the warning array to indicate that the situation is urgent.

After Zhou Chun discovered this, he immediately stopped practicing and stood up, and said to his Taoist partner who was also preparing to stop practicing, "Madam, you just continue practicing. Maybe something happened in the family, and I will go and take a look."

After saying that, he quickly walked out of the room, came to the yard and opened the gate.

Outside the gate, the younger generation of the family who was responsible for recording documents for him in Zhongping Hall was looking at the gate anxiously.

As soon as he saw him open the door and show up, he hurriedly bowed and said respectfully, "Tian Jing Villa sent someone to deliver the invitation. The fourth elder is already here, and he specially ordered this junior to come here to invite the clan leader."

Hearing this, Zhou Chun's eyes suddenly fixed, and then he nodded slightly and said: "I understand."

After saying that, he immediately took off into the air and flew to where the family was receiving guests.

When he entered the guest hall, he saw Zhou Jiarui and a middle-aged man in blue sitting opposite each other, enjoying the Zhou family's secret honey flower tea together.

Seeing him coming, Zhou Jiarui stood up hurriedly and introduced the middle-aged man in blue: "Fellow Daoist Yan, this is the head of my Zhou family, Zhou Zhengchun."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man in blue immediately stood up, bowed to Zhou Chun and said, "Yan Chu greets Chief Zhou."

"Hello, Fellow Daoist Yan."

Zhou Chun raised his hand to return the greeting, and then asked directly: "I wonder why Fellow Daoist Yan came to the Zhou family today?"

"Of course it's a good thing!"

Yan Chu smiled, and immediately patted the storage bag on his waist, took out an exquisitely crafted invitation and handed it to Zhou Chun.

"After my ancestor broke the elixir and formed an infant, he felt that it was not easy for cultivators of my generation to practice, so he specially showed mercy and planned to hold a preaching meeting to guide the younger generation of cultivators who are still confused and answer their questions."

"This invitation is the ticket to the Dharma Assembly. You can bring ten people with you to attend the lecture. Please keep it, Clan Leader Zhou."

Is Tianjing Zhenren going to hold a Dharma preaching meeting?

Zhou Chun was also stunned by what Yan Chu said, and couldn't help but take the invitation in his hands.

On the invitation, the four words "Tian Jing Fa Hui" were dazzling and bright. Just one look at it made Zhou Chun's eyes hurt. He quickly closed his eyes and turned his head away, not daring to look at it again.

But in his heart he was horrified.

Is this the magical power of a real person in the Nascent Soul stage?

Just a few words were enough to make it difficult for this cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building to look and resist. It was truly horrifying!
He quickly covered the invitation with his sleeves, then narrowed his eyes and looked at Yan Chu and asked, "May I ask, Fellow Daoist Yan, does every immortal cultivation family have this invitation? Do the three major sects have it?"

Hearing his words, Yan Chu couldn't help but replied with a smug look on his face: "The ancestor has prepared a total of 300 invitations, and only invites 3,000 cultivators to participate in this Dharma Assembly, so not every immortal cultivation family is qualified to attend the lecture."

After that, he paused for a moment, looked at Zhou Chun meaningfully and said, "As for the three major sects, naturally there are also several uncles who went there to send invitations!"

"I see. I understand. Thank you, Brother Yan, for coming all the way to send me this invitation. I also thank you, Senior Tianjing, for your regard for the Zhou family. Thank you very much!"

After Zhou Chun finished speaking, he immediately bowed deeply to Yan Chu to express his gratitude.

But he did not say whether he would attend the Dharma Assembly.

This made Yan Chu frown, and then he nodded slightly and said: "Since Patriarch Zhou has accepted the invitation, I will not disturb you any more. I have other things to do. Goodbye!"

"Fellow Daoist Yan, take care. I will see you off."

Zhou Chun said this, and really sent Yan Chu all the way out of the mountain gate.

It was not until he saw Yan Chu's figure gradually turn into a small black dot and disappear into the distance that Zhou Chun looked down at the back of the invitation in his hand, his eyes full of solemnity.

"A lecture by a Yuanying-stage Immortal, this is truly a rare opportunity that only comes once in a thousand years!"

He muttered to himself and immediately rushed to the cave on the top of the mountain with the invitation.
