Chapter 330: Foundation Building Pills Sold Out [Subscription Request]

Regarding the impending war in Feng State, the three members of the Zhou family decided to ignore it and just wait and see after meeting.

They are all very realistic.

Although Fengguo is their homeland, the Zhou family has now established roots in Jingguo and cannot go back.

Moreover, even if the Corpse Demon Cult was defeated, it would never be the Zhou family's turn to occupy the mountain gate of the original Three Absolute Sects.

If that’s the case, what does the war in Feng State have to do with them?
After making this decision, Zhou Chun felt relieved. He only needed to ask the people in the Intelligence Hall to collect the battle reports from Feng State.

What he was more concerned about was the Tianjing Sect.

After all, with the independence of Lingzhou, Lanzhou became a buffer zone between Qinglian Temple and Tianjing Sect.

If Tianjing Sect wants to expand its territory again but does not want to offend the two major forces of Yanyang Sect and Qinglian Temple at the same time, then it can basically only attack Lanzhou.

This is not good news for the Zhou family.

And because Lingshou Villa joined Tianjing Sect and the war broke out again in Feng Kingdom, the Li family who made elixirs and the You family who made formations sent people to the Zhou family to discuss these two things.

From what Zhou Chun heard from the two families, he realized that they had some thoughts of returning to Feng State.

Their two families had not been doing very well in Jingguo over the years, only barely better than Lingshou Villa.

If they had not made many contributions and sacrificed many things in the previous war of the Southern Expedition, who knows what kind of decline their two families would have been in now.

But now, with Lingshou Villa joining Tianjing Sect, their two families have become targets of suspicion from Qinglian Temple, and their situation is very embarrassing.

Therefore, after hearing that the Jingyang Faction had colluded with the Zhengyang Gate to declare war on the Corpse Demon Cult, they began to think about returning to their homeland.

It was at this time that Zhou Chun learned more detailed information about Zhengyang Gate from the two families.

According to the people from the Li family, the Zhengyang Sect is a more powerful sect of immortal cultivation than the Yuelun Sect. Not only does it have four Nascent Soul cultivators, but there is also one in the late Nascent Soul stage.

Moreover, most of the secret techniques practiced by the Zhengyang Sect's monks have a restraining effect on evil spirits. The several evil-killing talismans secretly passed down by the sect are well-known in all countries.

There used to be a sect called Diguimen whose strength was not much inferior to that of the Corpse Demon Sect. Because the monks in the sect had a conflict with those of the Zhengyang Sect, they extracted the soul of a Purple Mansion Stage monk from the Zhengyang Sect and sacrificed it to create a ghost.

As a result, the Zhengyang Sect was angered, causing several Yuanying Stage ancestors of the Zhengyang Sect to personally lead the army on an overseas expedition. They surrounded and killed the two Yuanying Stage cultivators of the Digui Sect inside the mountain gate, and wiped out the entire Digui Sect.

After that battle, few people dared to bully the disciples of Zhengyang Sect when they were outside.

It is precisely because the Zhengyang Sect has such a strong record of battle that the Li family of elixirs and the You family of formations think that the Corpse Demon Sect may be defeated this time and that they have the idea of ​​returning to their homeland.

Not only do they want to go back themselves, they also want to drag the Zhou family back with them.

After all, if the Three Absolute Sects are to be reorganized, the Zhou family cannot be left out.

Otherwise, if two families form a sect and there are any disagreements, without a third party to mediate and ease the conflict, it will easily intensify and lead to a serious conflict that neither side wants to see.

This has been proven many times in the past thousand years of history of the Three Wonders Sect.

Moreover, the Zhou family is not as powerful as their two families now. Once the Three Absolute Sects are reorganized, the power will still fall into the hands of their two families who have Jindan-stage cultivators.

Unfortunately, Zhou Chun, Zhou Mingde and others are family members who know their own business and are well aware of the plans of the two families.

No matter what the Li and You families said, Zhou Chun just shook his head and firmly stated that he would not give up the Jiufengling foundation that he had worked so hard to build.

Seeing that they could not persuade the Zhou family, and also worried that if they pushed Zhou Chun too far, he would report them to Qinglian Temple, the Li and You families did not say anything more.

Zhou Chun just pretended he hadn't heard of it.

In the next one or two years, many independent cultivators from Lanzhou, Yunzhou, Cangzhou and other places went to join the Tianjing Sect, and even some small immortal cultivation families moved there as a whole family.

However, those forces that have Purple Mansion Stage cultivators in charge are still in a wait-and-see state and are not in a hurry to take sides.

After accepting monks from all over the place, Tianjing Sect finally took on the appearance of a major sect, with more than 400 Foundation Establishment monks at its disposal.

Unfortunately, apart from Yu Jinghua who defected there, there was still no second Jindan-stage cultivator in Tianjing Sect.

This is also a fatal flaw for a large sect.

If no breakthrough can be made in this regard, Tianjing Sect’s appeal to those Purple Mansion Stage cultivators will be greatly reduced.

In short, Zhou Chun and the Zhou family are just keeping an eye on the Tianjing Sect and have no intention of joining them.

On this day, another Zhou family cultivator, Zhou Zhengbai, collected 5,000 points of good deeds and exchanged them for a foundation-building pill from Zhou Chun.

Zhou Zhengbai was also a cultivator who had participated in the "Tian Jing Dharma Assembly" before. His cultivation level was raised to the twelfth level of Qi Refining Stage shortly after attending the Dharma Assembly.

And because his father was Zhou Jiagong, the elder of the "Jia" generation of the Zhou family, with the help of his parents' fundraising, he finally got this opportunity before others.

In fact, up to now, the elders of the Zhou family with the word "Jia" are passing away year by year. For example, Zhou Jiacheng, who failed in building the foundation, and Zhou Jiawei, who was good at making poisons, have passed away one after another.

There are not many of the Zhou family elders left that Zhou Chun came into contact with when he first came into this world.

There are one or two new tombs added to the Zhou family cemetery on the back mountain of Pagoda Peak almost every year.

And if he is not an important person like a family elder, when a Zhou family cultivator dies, only his family members will mourn for him.

At most, Zhou Chun, the clan leader or some elder, would go over and go through the motions on behalf of the family and individuals.

After experiencing this kind of thing so many times, Zhou Chun has become indifferent to it.

On this day, Zhou Chun brought supplies to Longxing Valley again.

After several years of development, Longxing Valley has now truly become an important source of income for the Zhou family.

Thanks to the abundant spiritual medicine resources provided by Longxing Valley, the skills of the Zhou family's alchemists have improved rapidly. Zhou Zhengyuan and Zhou Xinlan are even able to refine spiritual pills that can improve the magic power of cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

At the same time, the various materials for refining and talisman-making collected here also put the Zhou family's refining and talisman-making skills on the fast track of development.

Of the four major cultivation techniques of elixirs, weapons, talismans and formations, except for the formation which requires too high a level of personal comprehension and talent, the other three are actually empirical disciplines.

In this kind of empirical discipline, those with talent can certainly go faster and further in this field, but those with average talent are not without hope of catching up.

However, after a few years of plundering, everything that could be plundered in the area around Longxing Valley was plundered.

If they want to continue to maintain their income now, they can only let Xu Fu and others go to more distant places to plunder.

However, once they leave the Longxing Valley stronghold too far, the survival risk of these Qi Refining cultivators will greatly increase.

You have to know that only a few years have passed, and five of the forty-eight Zhou family warriors who came over at that time have died, and two have been disabled! And this is the result under the care of Zhou Zhengyong and King Kong Monkey.

"This time I brought ten first-grade superior magic tools, thirty second-grade magic talismans, five hundred first-grade superior magic talismans, twenty bottles of elixirs for improving magic power, a number of various healing medicines, and five hundred jade boxes of various kinds!"

In Longxing Valley, after Zhou Chun was welcomed in, he first told Zhou Zhengyong and Xu Fu about the supplies he brought this time.

Due to the small number of people and the high intensity of the battle, Longxing Valley suffered heavy losses in magic weapons and talismans.

Every time Zhou Chun or Zhou Daoyi came to deliver supplies, magic talismans were a must.

Fortunately, Zhou Daoyi himself is a talisman maker who can make second-level talismans, and the Zhou family has now trained several cultivators who can make first-level top-quality talismans. Otherwise, if they only rely on purchasing, it will be a huge expense.

"That's great. With the things you brought this time, we can continue to explore further."

In front of Xu Fu, an outsider, Zhou Zhengyong was still very careful about etiquette and always addressed Zhou Chun as the clan leader.

After he took the storage bag Zhou Chun handed over, he quickly took out two storage bags and handed them to Zhou Chun, "These contain the harvest I have been waiting for these two months. Please keep them, clan leader."

After Zhou Chun put away the storage bag, Zhou Zhengyong continued, "In addition, last month the team lost a sixth-level Qi Refining cultivator and seriously injured a seventh-level Qi Refining cultivator. Now the atmosphere in the team is a bit bad. Some people are afraid of the successive deaths of their companions!"

His words were somewhat euphemistic, but Zhou Chun understood what he meant.

Although the Zhou family had made it clear to them when they were training these family warriors that they might sacrifice their lives for the Zhou family at any time in the future.

But explaining the situation is one thing, and having it actually happen is another.

These Zhou family warriors learned and grew up together in the Zhou family, and they also had to cultivate a tacit understanding of fighting together, and they had very close relationships.

Now, seeing his former close friends falling one after another, he doesn't know when it will be his turn. Zhou Chun himself has experienced that feeling of confusion and anxiety.

After all, during the previous southern expedition, the monks who participated in the war had also encountered this situation.

Therefore, he attached great importance to what Zhou Zhengyong said, and immediately looked at the leader of the death squad, Xu Fu, and asked, "Xu Fu, do you have anything to say?"

Hearing his words, Xu Fu immediately replied respectfully: "I think these are all normal things. Those people just haven't fully adapted to this kind of separation of life and death. When they get used to it, they won't think too much!"

"Well, what you said makes sense, but this matter still needs to be taken seriously."

Zhou Chun nodded, then lowered his head and pondered for a while, then an idea came to his mind.

He looked at Xu Fu and said slowly: "How about this, you can tell them that every time they go out and gain something, they can get two days of rest."

"At the same time, you can also tell them that as long as they can persevere and make enough contributions to the family, they will have the opportunity to leave here!"

Having said this, Zhou Chun waved his hand and said, "Okay, Xu Fu, you can leave first. I still have something to tell the Eighth Elder."

"Yes, I am resigning."

After Xu Fu left, Zhou Chun looked at Zhou Zhengyong and asked, "Brother Yong, what do you think of Xu Fu?"

Hearing what he said, Zhou Zhengyong was obviously stunned for a moment.

After a moment of hesitation, he said softly, "Xu Fu is a very good boy. Not only is his combat ability outstanding, few can compare to him. The key is that he is also very smart. Whether it is dealing with people or making plans, he is a good hand. He is almost as good as you when you were young!"

"Oh, Brother Yong, do you think so highly of him?"

There was a flash of surprise in Zhou Chun's eyes, as if he didn't expect Zhou Zhengyong to answer like this.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhengyong replied with a serious face: "It's not that I think highly of him, but he really did an excellent job. If he were a member of my Zhou family, I would definitely recommend him to take over your job in the future!"

"Yeah, it's a pity that he is not from my Zhou family!"

Zhou Chun sighed softly, feeling quite sorry about this in his heart.

To be fair, Zhou Chun is not the kind of person who insists on the theory of bloodline.

However, the special situation of the Zhou family means that it is difficult for cultivators who are not of the Zhou family bloodline to be valued in the Zhou family.

Zhou Mingde, the supreme elder who makes the final decision in the Zhou family, is very concerned about this.

Zhou Chun couldn't accuse Zhou Mingde of being narrow-minded because after all, Zhou Mingde and the Zhou family had indeed suffered a great loss in this regard.

Moreover, Zhou Chun could not guarantee that he could judge people accurately, and he could not guarantee that Xu Fu would not betray the Zhou family like Yu Jinghua when he achieved great success in the future.

"Let's wait and see. Brother Yong, please take the trouble to observe him. If there is really nothing wrong with him, I will find a way to help him build his foundation successfully, even if it is just to give other family warriors a chance to fight!"

Zhou Chun raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, then whispered his plan.

"Don't worry, Thirteenth Brother. I will pay attention."

Zhou Zhengyong nodded and agreed readily.

So after Zhou Chun went to pay a visit to Zhou Daoquan, he returned to his family with the harvest from Longxing Valley.

Just a few days after returning to the family, Zhou Chun had another Foundation Establishment Pill exchanged away from him.

The person who exchanged the Foundation Establishment Pill this time was Zhou Zhengqing, a member of the "Zheng" generation of the Zhou family, who was also a cultivator of the Zhou family who had previously participated in the "Tian Jing Dharma Assembly".

He is also the second generation of immortals. His mother is Zhou Jiakui, a cultivator of the "Jia" generation of the Zhou family, and his father is a casual cultivator in the late Qi training stage who married into the Zhou family.

Because he had always performed well, his parents gave up their own practice early so that he could exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill. They lived frugally and put all their energy into earning good deeds for the family. They also lost face and borrowed some good deeds from everywhere.

Now he had finally succeeded and obtained a foundation-building pill for him.

And with this Foundation Establishment Pill being exchanged, Zhou Chun only had one Foundation Establishment Pill left in his hand.

According to the rules, this foundation-building pill is prepared for Zhou Xinyan, a member of the Zhou family who has superior spiritual roots, and no one can touch it.

This means that even if other people gather 5,000 points of family merit in the future, they will not be able to exchange them for Foundation Establishment Pills for the time being.

"It seems that the standard of 5,000 family merits is a bit outdated. Perhaps the amount of merits required to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills should be increased in the future!"

"Well, maybe we shouldn't just offer Foundation Establishment Pills to our tribe members. We should give them more choices so that they don't have to stick to this one option. That way, even if they fail, they won't end up like Brother Seven, who couldn't hold his head up for the rest of his life!"

Zhou Chun looked at the last foundation-building pill in his hand and couldn't help but think deeply.
