Chapter 354: Make a Big Money [Subscribe]

Inside the Hongyu Peak stronghold.

In the room, there were seven or eight storage bags lined up in front of Zhou Chun, and he was counting the treasures inside them one by one.

The reason why there are so many storage bags is, of course, because the relics of several Huang family foundation-building cultivators he killed in Shen State are also here.

He had been busy on his way and hadn't bothered to count the things in the room, so now was a good time to count and check them all together.

To be honest, Zhou Chun hasn't experienced this kind of thing of counting seven or eight storage bags of foundation-building cultivators at one time for many years.

The last time was when he participated in the war against the Hualong Sect.

However, this happy experience is unforgettable.

After counting, Zhou Chun's face was full of smiles.

After returning from the Great Zhou Kingdom, he and the Zhou family became paupers.

Especially himself, who went from being a wealthy man with a huge sum of 200,000 spirit coins to a poor man with less than 10,000 spirit coins in his total private property.

He urgently needed to earn a large amount of spirit coins to enrich his wallet so as to support himself in purchasing treasures to assist in opening up the Purple Mansion.

But he has been busy with the family in the past few years and has no chance to earn any extra money.

Unexpectedly, he was ordered to come to Yang State to stabilize the situation this time, but he made a lot of money in one go!

Even without mentioning the priceless wood spirit, the spirit coins in these seven or eight storage bags alone add up to more than 76,000!
The remaining second-level magical weapons add up to as many as ten.

There are also various talismans, elixirs, spiritual medicines, and spiritual materials, and the number is also quite large.

With such a harvest, how could Zhou Chun not smile and be extremely happy.

With these gains in hand, it seems that within three to five years, he will be able to look for spiritual objects to help open up the Purple Mansion.

After happily collecting all the harvested materials, Zhou Chun began to think about what to do next.

Now the chaos inside the stronghold has been suppressed and quelled by his violent means. Fu Changqing and the other two have been frightened by him and they probably won't dare to cause trouble under his nose again.

But external pressure cannot be ignored.

If Huoyang Sanren knew that all the people close to him in the Hongyu Peak stronghold had been killed, he might want to come and visit them in person.

However, facing a late Purple Mansion cultivator, Zhou Chun had no power to resist at all.

In addition, the mining of the [Tuyuan Crystal Jade] mine also needs to be resumed urgently. After all, Shanyangzi is waiting for the Zhou family to deliver the goods to his door on time. If it is delayed too long, he will definitely be annoyed.

The last thing is to tame the wood spirit. As long as this monster is not tamed, there is a possibility that it will escape, and it is easy for Zhou Chun himself to be killed if it is exposed.

These things should be his main tasks next.

Things have to be done one by one, and they have to be prioritized.

The most urgent thing now is to resolve the possible external pressure.

After thinking for a long time, Zhou Chun felt that he could not just passively accept the situation, but had to take the initiative.

So he took the initiative to write a letter to Huoyang Sanren, stating the relationship between Lin Hongyu and the Zhou family, and also mentioned the fact that the Zhou family had three purple palaces and two third-level monsters.

Obviously, Zhou Chun's intention in writing this letter was to intimidate Huoyang Sanren and let him know that even if Lin Hongyu was not in the Hongyu Peak stronghold, this place was not something he could interfere with at will.

After writing the letter, Zhou Chun asked the old man in blue, Yang Jincai, to personally deliver it to Huoyang Sanren.

This was undoubtedly a tough job, but the old man in green, Yang Jincai, knew that he had no choice but to go to the stronghold opened up by Huoyang Sanren in person with a bitter face.

It is said that the reason why Huoyang Sanren had a conflict with Lin Hongyu was because he had his eyes on Hongyu Peak and wanted to seize it.

Unfortunately, he was ultimately outskilled and was beaten by Lin Hongyu, forcing him to flee with injuries.

After that, he could only open up a stronghold in another place more than 700 miles away from the Hongyu Peak stronghold, and recruited a group of independent cultivators to establish his own Huoyang stronghold.

The time when Yang Jincai took Zhou Chun's letter to the Huoyang stronghold was the third day after Zhou Chun restored order. The Huoyang stronghold's independent people had just learned about this matter from the spies arranged at the Hongyu Peak stronghold.

When he was about to go to the Hongyu Peak stronghold in person to check the situation, he received news that Yang Jincai was coming to pay a visit.

"I have recently heard that there has been an internal conflict at the Hongyu Peak stronghold, and fellow Daoists Tian Fengyi and others have even died in the conflict. Since fellow Daoist Yang is from the Hongyu Peak stronghold, do you know the details of this matter?"

In the room, Huoyang Sanren, who was wearing a red robe and even had red hair, looked calmly at Yang Jincai who was standing below. His tone was also flat, as if he had never interfered in the affairs of the Hongyu Peak stronghold.

But Yang Jincai didn't dare to really think that his mood was as calm as his tone.

After hearing this, he replied very respectfully: "Senior, please understand. This is exactly why I was ordered to come and pay my respects to you today."

As he spoke, he took out a letter written by Zhou Chun to Huoyang Sanren from his sleeve, held it in both hands and handed it forward, saying: "This is a letter written by Daoist Zhou Zhengchun, who has just come from Hongyu Peak, to Senior Huoyang. I was specially ordered to deliver it."

"Daoist Zhou Zhengchun?"

Huoyang Sanren seemed to have grasped something when he heard what Yang Jincai said. He immediately glared at Yang Jincai and shouted, "Are you saying that the death of fellow Taoist Tian Fengyi and others was not caused by a Purple Mansion cultivator?"

It is not difficult to hear from his words that he actually does not know the details of what happened in the Hongyu Peak stronghold.

Yang Jincai also knew why he reacted so strongly, and nodded immediately after hearing what he said: "Yes, the Taoist Zhou Zhengchun who killed Taoist Tian Fengyi and others is indeed only in the late stage of foundation building!"

"He's alone?"

Huoyang Sanren asked with some disbelief.

"It's a person, yes, but he is a beast cultivator who has tamed several second-level monsters!"

When Yang Jincai said this, he couldn't help but think of what he saw that day.

The majestic posture of the thunder and lightning dragon and the ferocious image of the golden-winged tiger that swallowed a foundation-building cultivator alive are still heart-wrenching when I think about them now.

After hearing his words and seeing his trembling expression, Huoyang Sanren became even more curious about Zhou Chun. He immediately waved his hand and said, "I won't read the letter for now. Fellow Daoist Yang, please tell me the details of what happened that day. Don't leave anything out!"

He said this as if Yang Jincai was his subordinate.

But although Yang Jincai was not his subordinate, he did not dare to disobey his orders at this moment. He could only honestly tell him what he knew that day.

After saying this, he took the initiative to bow and excuse himself, saying: "Senior Huoyang, please understand. This is what I saw that day. As for what happened before that, I don't know."

Huoyang Sanren did not make any response to his words, because he was still shocked by what he described.

To be honest, if he didn't know that Yang Jincai had no need to deceive him, he wouldn't dare to deceive himself. Huoyang Sanren would definitely think he was talking nonsense.

He broke into the stronghold guarded by seven foundation-building monks alone to rescue people, and killed four of them in a row, forcing the remaining three who were in charge of the guarding formation to surrender. Is this something a foundation-building monk can do?

Not to mention that Huoyang Sanren found it hard to believe, any Purple Mansion Stage cultivator who heard about this for the first time would probably find it hard to believe as well.

However, what Yang Jincai said seemed to make people believe it. After all, if a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage really had Zhou Chun's configuration, he seemed to have the ability to fight against many enemies alone.

This made Huoyang Sanren extremely curious about Zhou Chun's origins.

So, although he was not interested in the letter in Yang Jincai's hand, he raised his hand and took the letter in his hand to look at it.

It would not matter if he did not look at it, but once he did, he was shocked and angry.

What was surprising was that Lin Hongyu was not just a casual cultivator at all, but had a large immortal cultivation family behind her.

What made him angry was that Zhou Chun, a cultivator in the late foundation building stage, actually dared to threaten him with such a letter!
He threw the letter in his hand to the ground with a bang, and shouted angrily with an angry face: "How dare you, young man!"

This suddenness frightened Yang Jincai so much that his legs trembled. He immediately knelt on the ground and shouted, "Senior, please spare my life. I don't know anything. I just came here to deliver a letter!"

For a veteran like him, there is no psychological barrier to kneeling down and begging for mercy. It can be said that he has long been accustomed to it.

When Huoyang Sanren saw this, he glared at him and shouted, "Go back and tell that junior to come and apologize to me in person within half a month, otherwise I will personally go to Hongyu Peak and help Lin Hongyu teach this junior who doesn't know respect and inferiority a lesson!"

"Yes, yes, yes. I will definitely pass on this message to Fellow Daoist Zhou!"

Yang Jincai nodded repeatedly, then hurriedly got up and left the Huoyang stronghold as if running for his life.

After he returned to the Hongyu Peak stronghold, he vividly described to Zhou Chun the various reactions of Huoyang Sanren after seeing him.

After he finished speaking, he saw that Zhou Chun was just deep in thought, so he said carefully: "In Yang's opinion, Huoyang Sanren is really angry, but I'm afraid he doesn't really want to come and occupy the Hongyu Peak stronghold. Those words are probably to give him a way out and take the opportunity to blackmail him!"

When Zhou Chun heard this, he couldn't help but look at him, knowing exactly what he meant.

What Yang Jincai meant was undoubtedly that he wanted Zhou Chunru to do as Huoyang Sanren had said, prepare generous gifts and go to the Huoyang stronghold in person to apologize, giving Huoyang Sanren enough face and money so that he would no longer have any ideas about the Hongyu Peak stronghold.

To be honest, it is not impossible to do so. If the matter can really be settled peacefully, Zhou Chun is not unwilling to give up his face and dignity.

However, Zhou Chun was more worried that this show of weakness would further encourage Huoyang Sanren's arrogance, making him think that the Zhou family was simply unable to send a stronger force to the Hongyu Peak stronghold, and then breed even stronger greed.

Therefore, Zhou Chun did not respond to Yang Jincai, but said calmly: "I know, I will consider this matter, Brother Yang, go back and do your part first!"

Seeing that he did not respond, Yang Jincai was a little disappointed and worried, but he did not show it on his face and quickly replied: "Yes, yes, then Yang will take his leave first."

In the next few days, Zhou Chun had no intention of going to the Huoyang stronghold to apologize, but just meditated and practiced in his residence.

His calm attitude made Yang Jincai, Fu Changqing and the other two wonder what he was thinking.

But Huoyang Sanren was only targeting Zhou Chun. Even if they really came to kill him, as long as the three of them surrendered quickly, their lives would not be in danger. So they were not too worried.

After five days, Lin Wan'er finally came out of confinement.

Her lost vitality has not yet fully recovered, but it no longer affects her thinking and activities.

When he saw her coming out of retreat, Zhou Chun told her Huoyang Sanren's reply.

Then he said, "I don't know much about this Huoyang Sanren, and I don't know whether he is just trying to give me a way out or is deliberately testing me. Elder Lin, what do you think about this?"

Hearing his words, Lin Wan'er hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "In fact, I don't particularly understand Huo Yang Sanren's personality, so I have no way of telling what he means."

After that, she looked at Zhou Chun with a serious face and said, "But if it were up to me to decide, I think there is no need for the clan leader to apologize to him. That would only make him look down on the clan leader and the Zhou family!"

"Oh, why did Elder Lin say that?"

Zhou Chun raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Wan'er as if he wanted to know more.

Lin Wan'er did not keep the secret and immediately explained, "Because Huoyang Sanren is a true independent cultivator, and from my experience dealing with these independent cultivators over the years, I know that most independent cultivators are in awe of those sects and family forces."

"If a sect or family gives in to them, they will probably go even further and demand more benefits!"

She herself may not understand why this happened, but after Zhou Chun heard what she said, he immediately understood.

Because Zhou Chun had seen a similar person in his previous life.

A person at the bottom of society who is originally bullied everywhere, when he turns over one day and has the power to bully others, he will bully even more fiercely.

Many times, only those who have been oppressed and exploited will know how to better oppress and exploit others.

This is ironic, but it is the reality.

Even in this world of immortal cultivation, those who exploit ordinary cultivators the most are not the various sects or families like the Zhou family, but the high-level cultivators who have grown up from the bottom.

It seems that the low-level cultivators in the Hongyu Peak stronghold are clearly responsible for guarding the "Jingling Pavilion", but the rent collected in the stronghold is not much that can be paid to them.

The real benefit they can obtain is probably that, in addition to the missions, they can give themselves or their families the right to practice for free without time limit, as well as the convenience of occasionally asking those casual practitioners in the foundation-building stage for advice on difficulties in practice.

"I understand what you mean, Elder Lin. Let's ignore his answer and see if he dares to come knocking on our door!"

Zhou Chun nodded and made a decision immediately.
