Chapter 365 News about Millennium Dragon Grass [Subscription Request]

Caiyushan stronghold.

When Zhou Daoquan saw Zhou Chun, who had reached the Purple Mansion Stage, he was also extremely happy and delighted.

He kept uttering exclamations like "the pupil is better than the master".

In comparison, after learning from Zhou Chun that Lin Hongyu had successfully formed the elixir, although he was also relieved and happy, he did not have so many emotions. At most, he was glad that the family's investment had not been wasted.

After all, he and Lin Hongyu were not familiar with each other, and the other party's surname was not Zhou.

Even if he would protect the Zhou family after successfully forming the elixir, in Zhou Daoquan's eyes it was just a transaction.

So it’s okay to be happy, but the meaning of being happy is completely different.

Zhou Chun then also talked about the family's plan to have Lin Hongyu come to the wilderness to take charge of the pioneering outpost.

After listening to his retelling, Zhou Daoquan first thought silently for a while, and then said: "I have no objection to the family's plan, but has the family considered how to get those people to get along with Xu Fu and others?"

"Although Xu Fu and the others have been trained in the family since they were young and have the "Secret of Dragon Transformation" as a constraint, if they are allowed to get along with those captured bandits, there is no guarantee that they will not let something slip, which will affect the family's plan and that will not be good."

Hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately said: "This shouldn't be a big problem. Even Xu Fu and the others won't know the real intention of the family to expand the base. Instead, we can use their mouths and the family's related rewards to confuse those bandits."

"And Xu Fu and others must be involved in this matter. Otherwise, without their supervision, those bandit cultivators might deliberately sabotage the mission!"

After hearing him say this, Zhou Daoquan thought it made sense and didn't say anything more.

He just nodded and said, "The concentration of spiritual energy in Caiyu Valley is higher than that of the family mountain gate, and there is no need to support so many cultivators and monsters. It is completely enough for Fellow Daoist Lin to practice. It is just necessary to slightly replace the Purifying Spirit Formation with one with a larger coverage area."

"That's true. And with Senior Lin in charge, there's no need to change the protective formation. It's completely feasible to slightly expand the range of this formation now."

Zhou Chun then mentioned another convenient aspect.

After discussing this with Zhou Daoquan, Zhou Chun also specially inspected Xu Fu and others.

More than 20 years have passed, and of the 47 Zhou family warriors who had come here at that time, only 23 are still alive. The number of casualties is very high.

However, the cultivators who survived have now reached at least the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage, which shows that they have also made considerable gains.

During the years when Zhou Chun went to Yangguo and secluded himself to open up Zifu, the Zhou family also sent more than 20 clansmen to join the stronghold to supplement the manpower.

In addition, among the second batch of family warriors that have been trained, there are also some outstanding people who are ready to come out and do the work.

With such increases and decreases, we finally managed to maintain the operation of the two bases.

But Zhou Chun already knew from Zhou Zhengyong that in order to maintain the operation of the two strongholds and plan the mining of the Lingyu mine, Xu Fu and others basically no longer went out to search for any spiritual objects. They were busy in the two strongholds and the Lingyu mines.

At this time, the people Zhou Chun was inspecting were all in the Caiyu Valley stronghold, and there were only a dozen of them.

After reviewing these people accompanied by Xu Fu, he told Xu Fu: "In the future, the family may migrate some more people here to expand the base. Xu Fu, you and your people must be mentally prepared. When the time comes, you must be able to calm those people down and prevent them from causing damage."

Having said this, after a brief pause, he continued, "Well, when those people come over, the family will give you another Yuan-building Fruit as a reward!"

He made this decision taking into account the great contributions Xu Fu and others had made to the Zhou family over the years, and also to set an example for the bandits who would arrive in the future.

When Xu Fu heard his words, he was both surprised and happy.

He immediately thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you for your kindness, Chief. On behalf of all the brothers, I would like to thank you for your kindness to us!"

"These are what you deserve. I have said that as long as you all work hard for my Zhou family, my Zhou family will not treat you unfairly."

As Zhou Chun spoke, he gently patted Xu Fu's shoulder to show his closeness.

At this time, a burst of surprised monkey cries sounded from the side. It turned out that the King Kong Monkey saw Zhou Chun and greeted him with surprise.

Zhou Chun looked over and said with a slightly surprised look: "Oh, Dali, have you also been promoted to a second-level middle-grade monster?"

"It's like this. Dali helped the family get a tree of spiritual fruits in the wilderness a few years ago, so after asking the third elder for permission, I rewarded it with three spiritual fruits. Unexpectedly, it just helped it advance to the second-level middle grade."

After hearing what Zhou Chun said, Zhou Zhengyong, who was standing behind him, took the initiative to explain the reason.

"That's really its creation!"

Zhou Chun nodded, immediately stretched out his hand and shook hands with the giant golden monkey that was approaching, patted its lowered head, and chatted with it in monkey language.

Next, Zhou Chun went to see the Lingyu mine in person.

The Lingyu mine has now started digging the mine tunnel, and the miners are the descendants of the wild people that Zhou Zhengyong took in and sheltered many years ago.

Now, under the protection of the Zhou family monks, those wild people have returned to civilization, learned how to weave, cast and farm, and their number has grown to tens of thousands.

Even many of the outstanding wild people were able to enter the two strongholds of the Zhou family and do chores for the Zhou family's cultivators.

But this time Zhou Chun specifically and solemnly warned Zhou Zhengyong not to let the number of the wild people continue to explode like this, otherwise it would definitely bring trouble.

Doing this is actually for the good of the wild people themselves.

Because if they really attracted the attention of high-level monsters or even the Dragon Transformation Sect, the only ones who would suffer would be these wild people.

After visiting the Lingyu Mine, Zhou Chun officially left the Caiyu Valley base.

However, he did not return to his family directly, but took a detour to the location of the alien tribe of scaled frogs.

Speaking of which, in recent years, because the power of the Dragon Transformation Cult has completely withdrawn from the shores of Longyuanze, without their harm, and having obtained many weapons and medicines from the Zhou family, the scaly frog race has also developed rapidly and is on the rise.

As far as Zhou Chun knew, Lu Ran had already subdued a third-level scaled frog alien warlock and had trained another third-level scaled frog alien warlock of his own.

The number of second-level scaled frog alien warlocks that he could command and mobilize reached more than twenty.

Although this force is not as strong as the Zhou family, it has made great progress compared to before.

It was also thanks to the services of these subordinates that he was able to constantly exchange the rare treasures from the waters for various supplies from the Zhou family.

Zhou Chun came to visit Lu Ran this time because he wanted to find out the information about the Dragon Grass from him.

After all, the Scaled Frogs were also natives of Longyuan Lake. Even though they were not favored by the Jiaolongs due to their weak strength, their knowledge of the situation inside and outside Longyuan Lake was definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people. Zhou Chun wanted to inquire from Lu Ran to see if he could get any information about the Millennium Dragon Grass.

"It's really amazing. I didn't expect that in just over ten years, Brother Zhou has already successfully opened up the Purple Palace. The young are really to be feared, the young are really to be feared!"

Inside Lu Ran's luxurious water mansion, when he saw Zhou Chun, a cultivator in the Purple Mansion period, standing in front of him, he was amazed at Zhou Chun's astonishing speed of improvement in his cultivation.

Speaking of which, he is also an old friend of Zhou Chun.

When the two first met, Zhou Chun was only in the initial stage of foundation building and had just completed the transformation of his cultivation method.

Although they had not met very often over the years, it seemed that every time they met, he could clearly notice Zhou Chun's improvement in cultivation.

But even though he had previously overestimated Zhou Chun's cultivation speed, he did not expect that Zhou Chun could break through the Purple Mansion level so easily.

And he was just a Purple Mansion Stage cultivator at that time.

Comparing this with the various bumps and difficulties he had encountered on his own path of cultivation, Lu Ran couldn't help but feel genuine envy for Zhou Chun.

However, Zhou Chun had heard too many words of amazement like Lu Ran's in the past few days, and hearing them again at this moment could no longer stir up any waves in his heart.

He just replied very politely and modestly: "It's just that I was lucky and succeeded just once. I don't deserve such praise from Senior Lu."

After saying that, his face straightened, and he bowed to Lu Ran with a serious face and said: "To be honest, Senior, I am visiting you this time because I have something to ask of you!"

"Oh, what on earth is it that is worthy of Brother Zhou's actions?"

Lu Ran's expression changed, his two frog eyes widened, and he couldn't help but look at Zhou Chun in surprise.

So Zhou Chun told everyone that he wanted to find the Millennium Dragon Grass.

After hearing what he said, Lu Ran immediately nodded at him with a look of understanding and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou wants to find the Millennium Dragon Grass. Do you want to help the Silver Lightning Python transform into a dragon?"

"Yes, that's exactly what Zhou meant."

Zhou Chun did not hide his intention and admitted it generously.

Seeing him being so frank and open, Lu Ran was quite satisfied. He nodded and said, "Actually, Brother Zhou, you have asked the right person. I happen to know where this thing can be found!"

At this point, his tone slightly condensed, "But I think Fellow Daoist Zhou also knows where the Millennium Dragon Grass grows. If you want to get such a spiritual object, I'm afraid it's very difficult!"

Hearing this, Zhou Chun also said with a serious face: "Of course I know what's going on, but this is a matter of transforming a pet into a dragon, even if it is extremely difficult, I will try my best."

"Since Fellow Daoist Zhou has made up his mind, I will not persuade you any further. I can tell Fellow Daoist Zhou the location of the dragon's lair, but I also want to ask Fellow Daoist Zhou for his approval."

Lu Ran first nodded, agreed to help, and then mentioned the conditions.

He and Zhou Chun are just partners, so he certainly won't help for free.

Zhou Chun didn't mind it, and immediately replied in a deep voice: "Senior Lu, please tell me. As long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse."

"Fellow Daoist Zhou also knows that I don't have much time left. I will die in ten years at most. What I want is for you to continue to take care of the Black Spear Tribe and maintain trade between the two tribes after I die."

Lu Ran stared at Zhou Chun and said in a low voice what he wanted.

After hearing what he said, Zhou Chun immediately frowned.

All along, it would be more accurate to say that the Zhou family was doing business with Lu Ran rather than with the scaly frog aliens.

If Lu Ran continued to trade with the scaly frog aliens after his death, it might not be as convenient and safe as it is now.

Zhou Chun was thinking for a while before looking at Lu Ran and asking, "Senior Lu, you shouldn't have leaked the information about the waterway, right?"

Hearing his question, Lu Ran immediately replied solemnly: "Don't worry, Brother Zhou, I know the difference between the important and the unimportant. Even if I die, I will never leak this matter!"

This answer made Zhou Chun feel relieved, and he immediately said, "It's not that I don't believe Senior Lu, but what Senior Lu said is of great importance, and I can't give you a definite answer now."

"I will have to discuss this matter with several elders after returning to the family before I can give you a definite answer."

Having said that, Zhou Chun realized that he probably wouldn't be able to fulfill his wish today, so he took the opportunity to say goodbye to Lu Ran.

Before he left, Lu Ran looked at him sincerely and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, why don't you tell fellow Daoist Zhou Mingde and fellow Daoist Zhou Daoyi that trade between the two tribes is always mutually beneficial. With the strength of the Scaled Frog Tribe, it is impossible for them to pose any threat to the human race!"

"I will pass on what you said."

Zhou Chun responded and set off on his journey home.

As soon as he returned to the family gate, Zhou Chun went to see Zhou Mingde and told him about his visit to Lu Ran and the words that Lu Ran asked him to help bring.

Then, when Zhou Mingde was thinking, he also expressed his own point of view: "In fact, maintaining trade between the two tribes is indeed beneficial to both sides. The terrible thing is that without Lu Ran, a frog with a human soul, to restrain him, those scaly frogs will be short-sighted and make excessive demands, and even leak our existence to the Jiaolong tribe!"

"Well, Zhengchun, what you said hits the nail on the head. We really have to be on guard against these things!"

Zhou Mingde couldn't help but nodded, agreeing with the two points Zhou Chun made.

After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice: "How about this, let's talk to Lu Ran and see if he has any way to make some guarantees. If he doesn't have a good idea, we will pretend to agree first, and after he dies, we will completely cut off contact with those scaly frogs!"

After saying that, he looked at Zhou Chun and comforted him, "You don't have to worry too much. Even if you can't get the Millennium Dragon Grass, there are still two Lightning Dragon Lizards on the Thunder Lizard Island as alternatives. They also contain strong Thunder Dragon blood. Use their inner elixirs to feed the Silver Lightning Thunder Python, and there is still a chance that it will successfully transform into a dragon!"

But Zhou Chun didn't take these words of comfort seriously at all.

It contains the blood of Thunder Dragon, but it is not a real Thunder Dragon.

If it is really the third-level thunder dragon's inner elixir, then it is naturally better than anything else.

But how much effect can the inner elixir of the third-level lightning dragon lizard, which contains the blood of the thunder dragon, have on the silver lightning python?

Breaking through from the second level to the third level is the best chance to transform into a dragon. If you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait until the third level breaks through to the fourth level.

Zhou Chun would rather the Silver Lightning Thunder Python take a few years longer to break through to the third level than let it waste the opportunity to transform into a dragon.
