Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Chapter 343 Lin Hongyu's plan to return to the family [Subscription Request]

There are magic weapons, elixirs that can increase the chances of Jindan-stage cultivators breaking through bottlenecks, and formations that are so powerful that they can trap and kill Jindan-stage cultivators.

These extremely precious treasures were taken out one by one by the beautiful woman in red dress, Liu Mengyan, and each one was sold at a sky-high price!

The last treasure is a secret talisman that a Nascent Soul cultivator spent seven years of hard work to refine. Once activated, it can release a shocking blow with 30% of the strength of an early Nascent Soul cultivator!
The final transaction price of this secret talisman was as high as 2.25 million spirit coins, which is almost equivalent to two magic weapons!
But no one would think it is not worth the price!

Anyone who fails to buy this item will only regret that they do not have enough money.

After all, such a secret symbol can completely decide the outcome of a battle between Jindan-stage cultivators in certain circumstances, and even the life or death of a Jindan-stage cultivator!

Normally, such secret talismans are not something that can be bought with money, because the Nascent Soul cultivators who are able to make them will not spread them out easily, and will only leave them to some younger generations as a life-saving item.

Moreover, the production of this kind of secret talisman is also very difficult. Not only does it require the supernatural powers of a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, but it also requires very rare materials as the carrier of the secret talisman, and it is impossible to produce it in large quantities.

After this treasure was sold, Zhou Chun carefully calculated the transaction prices of all the treasures in this auction, and the result made him breathe faster.

According to his calculations, the total transaction price of all treasures in this auction is more than 28 million spirit coins!
Such a huge amount of wealth is probably something that even a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage cannot come up with.

To put it more broadly, any of the three major sects in Jingguo may not be able to come up with such a large amount of spiritual coins!
And this is just the revenue from one auction!
This shows how wealthy the Great Zhou Kingdom was.

Not long after the beautiful woman in red dress Liu Mengyan announced the end of the auction, the treasure that Lin Hongyu had bought was delivered to their room.

"【Extreme Yang Fire Spirit Liquid】, 【Extreme Cold Ice Marrow Liquid】, 【Xuan Yi He Qi Pill】, these three treasures are all here. Please check their authenticity and quantity on the spot. If there are any problems after leaving this private room, our company will not be responsible!"

In the private room, a Purple Mansion Stage cultivator who was responsible for delivering the goods took out the three treasures and handed them to Lin Hongyu for inspection.

Given the auctioneer's background, there's actually no need to worry about whether this item is genuine.

The Huangfu family would never do something that would damage their reputation.

However, after hearing the other party's words, Lin Hongyu opened the three jade bottles on the spot and examined them carefully.

Then he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, it is genuine, and the portion is sufficient."

After saying that, he handed a storage bag to the other party, "This is 815,000 spirit coins, please take a look, fellow Taoist."

It is not possible to correctly count more than 800,000 spirit coins in a short period of time, especially since the spirit coins are not of the same type.

Fortunately, the auctioneer was prepared for this situation. The Purple Mansion cultivator who delivered the goods was followed by two Foundation Establishment cultivators, and the three of them could count the items together.

After counting for about two quarters of an hour, the Purple Mansion cultivator nodded to Lin Hongyu and the other two who were waiting quietly and said, "The payment has been counted correctly. You three fellow Taoists may leave now."

After hearing this, Zhou Chun and the other two immediately walked out of the stone chamber without staying any longer, went straight out of the auction house, and returned to their residence.

"What should we do next? Should we go back directly?"

In the residence, as soon as Zhou Chun returned here, he looked at the two elders and asked about the follow-up plans.

They came to the Great Zhou Kingdom to participate in the auction. Now that the auction is over, Lin Hongyu has bought the spiritual object that can assist in forming the elixir as she wished. Logically speaking, there is really no need for her to stay any longer.

But after hearing what he said, Zhou Daoyi turned his gaze to Lin Hongyu and said softly, "Madam, what do you think? What do you think?"

After hearing this, Lin Hongyu pondered for a moment, then looked at the two and said, "The spiritual objects that assist in forming the elixir are too precious. Although we are in the private room the whole time, we cannot completely guarantee that this matter has not been leaked to other people. Therefore, I want to rent a cave in this Xiandu market to practice confinement and form the elixir!"

After that, she continued, "Of course, it will take more than a year or two to achieve results in seclusion and forming an elixir. My husband, you and Zhengchun don't need to stay here with me. You can wait for a month or two and then go back first."

What she said was well-reasoned and prudent. After hearing it, Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Chun looked at each other and fell into deep thought.

After a while, Zhou Daoyi nodded and said, "Madam, what you said makes sense. If we retreat to form the elixir in Xiandu Market, we can avoid being robbed and killed. Moreover, the concentration of spiritual energy in Xiandu Market is better than that of our Zhou Family Mountain Gate, which is more helpful for forming the elixir!"

After saying that, he decided: "That's it, I will send Zhengchun back first, and then come over to protect you, Madam!"

Hearing his words, Lin Hongyu's expression softened and joy appeared in her eyes.

Although the two had quarreled a lot in the past, Zhou Daoyi's recent behavior really made her feel very satisfied and happy.

Although she knew in her heart that all this was just a deliberate attempt to please her because she was about to reach the Jindan stage.

But isn’t this kind of flattery a good sign in itself?

Now that she hasn't succeeded in forming the elixir yet, Zhou Daoyi can already take the initiative to please her. After she succeeds in forming the elixir, will she still worry that Zhou Daoyi will be cold to her?
Although Zhou Chun wanted to stay here for more time after seeing the prosperity of the Great Zhou Kingdom, he also knew that the situation in Jingguo was turbulent and he, as the patriarch, could not be away from the family for a long time at this time.

Therefore, after listening to Zhou Daoyi's words, he quickly nodded and said, "Junior has no objection. I will listen to the two great elders in everything."

So the matter was settled, and Lin Hongyu immediately went with Zhou Daoyi to look for a cave for retreat.

In any larger market town, in addition to training areas for casual cultivators and passing cultivators to practice and restore their magic power, there are also caves available for long-term rental.

The prices of these long-term rental caves are often not low, and ordinary cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage cannot afford them.

Therefore, these caves are often left vacant or used by short-term tenants.

Xiandu Market is one of the top three markets in the Great Zhou Kingdom. Due to its rich spiritual environment, many immortal cultivation families in the Great Zhou Kingdom will come here to rent a cave for their family members to retreat when they are about to make some key breakthroughs in their realm.

Therefore, the vacancy rate of the caves here is relatively low and the prices are extremely high.

Lin Hongyu wanted to retreat to form an elixir, so her requirements for the cave were even higher. It could be said that most of the caves in the market town could not meet her requirements.

In the end, she spent a lot of money and finally rented a suitable cave at a high price.

The annual rent for this cave is 3,000 spirit coins, and it is paid annually, with a minimum lease term of three years.

Lin Hongyu, who was already short of money, could not afford such a high rent. Zhou Daoyi emptied his family's savings and took out 30,000 spirit coins to pay her ten years' rent. After renting the cave, Lin Hongyu moved in directly and began to slowly recuperate and prepare for retreat.

Zhou Chun still had some spirit coins left, and he planned to buy some things in the market that were not easy to buy in Jingguo.

He originally wanted to buy a few Foundation Building Pills, but the Foundation Building Pills here are only accepted for pre-order, and the delivery time will take several years.

So he had to find a big store, pay 30,000 spirit coins as a deposit, and reserve three Foundation Establishment Pills.

When the time comes, Zhou Daoyi will come to the Great Zhou Kingdom to protect Lin Hongyu, and he can take these foundation-building pills.

After paying the deposit in advance, Zhou Chun had few spirit coins left at his disposal, so he no longer patronized those shops, but went to the free trading area in the market town.

Otherwise, Xiandu Market is prosperous!

Even in this free trade zone, which is dedicated to independent cultivators selling their belongings, there are many Foundation Establishment cultivators setting up stalls here.

After walking around for a while, Zhou Chun stopped in front of a stall.

The stall owner is a white-haired old man with the cultivation level of the middle stage of foundation building. The items sold on his stall are mainly some medicinal herbs, animal eggs, and insect eggs. He also specially marked that the items are all from the Dolan Grassland.

"Fellow Daoist, you said these things all came from the Duolan Grassland. Do you have any evidence?"

Zhou Chun stopped in front of the stall, stared at the goods, and asked in a low voice.

After hearing what he said, the white-haired old man couldn't help but look up at him, and then said lightly: "Daoyou should not be a cultivator from my Great Zhou Kingdom!"

"Oh, why do you say that?"

Zhou Chun narrowed his eyes and looked at the old man's face.

The old man said slowly, "If the cultivators of our Great Zhou Kingdom have reached your level of cultivation, even if they have never been to the Duoran Grassland, they should have seen many things on the grassland and would not be unable to see the origins of these things that I have!"

Hearing this, Zhou Chun could not help but nodded and said, "Daoyou has a good eye. I am indeed not a cultivator from the Great Zhou Kingdom."

Then he shook his head slightly and said, "Although I am quite curious about the things on the Dolan Grassland, I don't want to be taken advantage of. I wonder if you can introduce the origins of these things?"

"Are you really interested in these things?"

The white-haired old man looked at Zhou Chun, as if judging his sincerity.

Zhou Chun said calmly, "I am indeed interested in the things on the Dolan Grassland, but whether I will buy them depends on whether they are worth my money."

After hearing what he said, the white-haired old man lowered his head and pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "Well, since there is nothing else to do, I will talk to you!"

As he spoke, he pointed at the things on the stall one by one and started introducing them.

"This is the egg of a low-level demon beast, the Purple-Eyed Falcon, from the grassland. This demon beast is small in size and cannot carry people to fly, but it is very fast and can travel long distances. Low-level mages of the Multi-Winged Tribe on the grassland often tame this bird for warning and communication."

"This is the egg of a low-level horned lizard beast from the grassland. When a horned lizard beast grows up, it can grow to two meters long. It is good at running on flat ground and can also climb mountains. It is an excellent mount and has strong combat power. Low-level mages of the Multi-Winged Tribe will occasionally tame this monster beast for transportation."

"These are the eggs of the wind mantis, a special demon insect found on the grassland. Although these demon insects are small in size, they are very ferocious and aggressive. Two or three of them can kill a horned lizard beast. There is even a chance that they will mutate into a wind mantis species with a combat power comparable to that of a second-level demon beast!"

"This beehive is a beehive of the ox-eating bees that are a special species on the grassland. The smell it emits after being ignited can repel many monsters. If it is ignited on the grassland, it can even drive away some monsters!"

"This insect-like and grass-like medicinal herb is called Hundred Insect Grass. The Multi-Winged Tribe magicians can use it as medicine to make a variety of potions. It can also be taken with spiritual ginseng. It is very effective in recovering vitality after injury. These are more than ten years old. If they are a hundred years old, one Hundred Insect Grass would be worth hundreds of spiritual coins!"

……

At the stall, the white-haired old man talked freely, introducing the things on his stall one by one, and also explained to Zhou Chun some methods to distinguish the authenticity.

Of course, whether this method is effective or not is just his one-sided statement, and Zhou Chun doesn't dare to believe it completely.

However, based on his many years of experience, he is confident that he can tell whether the medicinal herbs, monster eggs and insect eggs are genuine.

Therefore, after learning some relevant information from the old man, Zhou Chun bought two purple-eyed falcon eggs, five horned lizard eggs, and even three plants of the Cordyceps sinensis from his stall.

Although these things are only used by cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, they are not cheap.

Zhou Chun spent nearly three times the price of other similar spiritual objects to buy these things.

But he had nothing to complain about. After all, the "Duolan Grassland" was the territory of the alien race. If he wanted to bring back the spiritual creatures that were unique to the grassland, the risk would be extremely high, and it was reasonable for the price to be higher.

Just like the rare treasures from the Longyuanze waters that he had brought back before, they were all sold at high prices that would be difficult to obtain in Jingguo.

After buying some specialty spiritual items in the free trade zone, Zhou Chun went to the grocery store and bought some monster illustrations and books related to the "Duolan Grassland".

After all the purchases, he had less than 50,000 spirit coins left, all of which he had to take back to replenish the family's working capital.

So for the next one or two months, Zhou Chun rarely went out and devoted himself to practicing in his residence.

After avoiding the limelight for two months, Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Chun left Xiandu Market together and embarked on the journey back to their family.

Perhaps because Lin Hongyu did not accompany them, or perhaps because the news had not leaked in the first place, Zhou Chun and his companions did not encounter any robbery or murder after leaving Xiandu Market.

After nearly two months of travel, the two returned safely to the Jiufengling family gate.

However, just as he stepped into the family, Zhou Chun learned some bad news.
