Chapter 386: Replacement of magical instruments, changes in the situation [Subscription required]

After Zhou Chun stayed in the Su family for eight days, Su Yuzhen received a message from her aunt from the Yuelun Sect, asking Zhou Chun to meet her in her cave.

So the two of them set off immediately and headed for the Moon Wheel Sect's mountain gate.

The Moon Wheel Sect's mountain gate is located on an island, but the island is not located in a lake or sea.

This island is also one of the wonders of Yasukuni.

Originally there were two large rivers originating from the southern part of the mountains on the island, one from the east and the other from the west, flowing northward.

Unexpectedly, the two rivers finally converge into a lake more than 700 miles away in the north of the mountain range.

As a result, the location of the Moon Wheel Sect's mountain gate was separated from the earth by these two rivers, forming a huge island.

That afternoon, a huge white bird with pure white wings carried a man and a woman across the river east of Liangjiang Island and flew straight towards the mountains shrouded in clouds ahead.

The giant white bird was hatched from the Yunshui Swan egg that Zhou Chun had given to Su Yuzhen. With Su Yuzhen's training at all costs, this demon bird has now become a second-level intermediate-grade demon beast.

And Zhou Chun’s golden-winged tiger had just been promoted to a second-level intermediate-grade monster not long ago!

At this time, the giant white bird carried Zhou Chun and his Taoist companion to Liangjiang Island where the Yuelun Sect's mountain gate was located, and soon landed at the reception point under the Yuelun Sect's mountain gate.

"My dear husband, please wait a moment. I will inform my aunt to send someone to pick us up."

Su Yuzhen slapped the storage bag on her waist with her jade hand, took out a sub-talisman from the mother-child communication talisman, ignited it, and let it turn into wisps of smoke that surrounded her body, forming a faint spiritual mark.

This mother-and-child communication talisman is a special talisman passed down from the Su family. It is not like the thousand-mile communication talisman that can directly convey the words you want to say to the recipient. It is just equivalent to a communication firework.

But one thing that makes this thing better than the communication fireworks is that it doesn't make much noise when it is triggered, allowing the person holding the mother talisman to find his or her location at any time.

Therefore, in order to keep it secret, the Su family did not sell this talisman to outsiders. Even the Zhou family, a family related by marriage, could not buy it. It was only used by the cultivators within the family.

Zhou Chun and Su Yuzhen waited at the reception point for less than an hour before a female cultivator in a blue skirt appeared from the clouds and landed in front of them.

This female cultivator in the blue skirt is only in the late stage of foundation building, and of course she is not relying on her own cultivation to fly into the sky.

It's just that the flower basket magic weapon in her hand can release white clouds and mist, carrying her to fly, so she looks like a Jindan stage cultivator riding on the clouds.

She was obviously very familiar with Su Yuzhen. As soon as she landed, she greeted Su Yuzhen with a smile: "Sister Yuzhen, Master ordered me to pick you and Brother Zhou up."

"Then I'll have to trouble Sister Yang."

Su Yuzhen smiled and replied, and then introduced to Zhou Chun: "Husband, this is Sister Yang Junru, she is my aunt's eldest disciple."

"It turns out to be Brother Yang, nice to meet you."

Zhou Chun nodded with a smile, which counted as a greeting.

After the greeting, the two Taoist companions flew into the gate of Yuelun Sect under the guidance of Yang Junru.

Zhou Chun had been to the gate of Qinglian Temple many times, but this was his first time to visit the gate of Yuelun Sect.

His feeling was that in addition to the higher concentration of spiritual energy in the Yuelun Sect's mountain gate than in the Qinglian Temple's mountain gate, the density of the cave buildings inside was also much higher, and there were many more people.

In a word, although they are all one of the three major sects in Jingguo, the atmosphere of Yuelun Sect is obviously superior to that of Qinglian Temple.

Su Yuzhen's aunt Su Yunniang is a core disciple of the Yuelun Sect who is highly regarded. She has reached the late Purple Mansion stage and is planning to form an elixir.

Therefore, he also owns a nice independent cave inside the Yuelun Sect’s mountain gate.

Led by Su Yunniang's eldest disciple Yang Junru, Zhou Chun and the other person soon arrived outside a valley shrouded in clouds and mist.

Knowing that someone was visiting, the three of them had just arrived outside the valley when the clouds in the valley surged and a passage appeared.

After the three of them followed the passage and entered, the view before their eyes suddenly became clear.

In the valley, which covers an area of ​​about two to three hundred acres, there are fragrant flowers and plants planted everywhere, many varieties of which are spiritual flowers that contain spiritual power.

It is obvious that the owner of this place is a person who loves flowers very much.

Zhou Chun swept his eyes across the small valley and soon his gaze fell on a beautiful woman in a pink dress.

He was not unfamiliar with that beautiful woman. She was the auctioneer sent by the three major sects to host the auction after the Hundred Clans Conference that year. She was also Su Yunniang, the younger sister of Su Yuzhen's mother.

Su Yuzhen was naturally very familiar with her aunt. When she saw the beautiful woman, she smiled sweetly at her and said, "Yuzhen meets my aunt."

Seeing this, Su Yunniang glared with her beautiful eyes and said with a stern face: "Yuzhen, you girl, calculate for yourself, how long have you not come to see your aunt? If you didn't want to ask your aunt to help your lover this time, would you still not plan to come to see me, your aunt?"

"No way, didn't I come to visit you three years ago?"

Su Yuzhen lowered her head a little embarrassedly, and her voice became much lower.

When Zhou Chun saw this, he immediately stepped forward, bowed to Su Yunniang and said, "My nephew Zhou Zhengchun greets my aunt."

"My dear nephew Zhengchun, you are too polite. Since you and Yuzhen have become a Taoist couple, you are family. There is no need to be restrained."

Su Yunniang waved her hand, looked at Zhou Chun with a smile and said, "Yuzhen's mother died early. Although I am her aunt, I have always treated her as my own daughter. My dear nephew, please don't be polite to me."

Hearing her words, Zhou Chun quickly responded, "Yes, I understand."

Sure enough, when Su Yunniang heard him change his name to "son-in-law", her smile became even more joyful, and she immediately invited the two of them into her residence.

When the few people entered the courtyard, Su Yunniang's eldest disciple Yang Junru immediately took the initiative to make tea and water for the three people, and also brought some cakes.

"Come, Zhengchun, this is your first time here. Try the homemade hundred-flower tea and hundred-flower cake made by your aunt to see if they suit your taste."

Inside the room, after Su Yunniang's apprentice brought the tea and pastries, she smiled and recommended her food to Zhou Chun.

They looked so warm and hospitable, as if a mother-in-law was entertaining her son-in-law who had just returned home.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun had to give face, so he drank several cups of tea and ate several plates of cakes.

It’s true, Su Yunniang’s Hundred Flowers Tea and Hundred Flowers Cake are really good and unique.

After finishing the tea and pastries, Zhou Chun took out the gift he had prepared and presented it to her, saying, "This is my first visit, so I haven't prepared anything too precious. This jar of honey and a box of tea pills are specialties of my family, and they are quite unique. You can try them when you have time, aunt."

"It's rare that you're so thoughtful, Zhengchun. I'll try it when I'm free."

Su Yunniang smiled and nodded, and put away the gift from Zhou Chun.

After exchanging pleasantries, she got down to business. "After Yu Zhen sent a message a few days ago, I asked around for you, Zheng Chun. There are indeed two brothers and sisters and a uncle who are willing to exchange magic tools."

"But I can't guarantee whether they will be interested in your magic weapon, Zhengchun. I can only take you to meet them."

At this point, she seemed to be afraid that Zhou Chun would be disappointed, so she smiled at him and said, "It doesn't matter even if the exchange fails. I, your aunt, also know several weapon refining masters in Yanyang Sect. As long as you can collect the materials, or are willing to spend enough spirit coins, I can ask them to help you tailor a satisfactory magic weapon for your sake!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun quickly stood up from his seat, bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for your concern, auntie. I am very sorry."

"You kid, I told you not to be polite."

Su Yunniang looked at him with some anger, but she was quite happy in her heart.

Next, under the guidance of Su Yunniang, Zhou Chun and her went to visit several Moon Wheel Sect monks who were willing to exchange magic weapons.

After some selection, Zhou Chun finally successfully exchanged a third-grade top-grade gold-attribute magic weapon [Golden Rainbow Sword] from a Jindan-stage cultivator of the Yuelun Sect.

This flying sword magic weapon was the trophy of the Jindan stage cultivator. Two taels of iron essence were mixed into the sword body, so its sharpness and hardness are much stronger than ordinary flying swords of the same level.

In order to exchange for this fine flying sword, Zhou Chun not only handed over the Red Dragon Dagger, a third-grade top-grade magical weapon, but also paid for three elixirs that were more than seven hundred years old.

At the same time, at the place of a late Purple Mansion cultivator of the Moon Wheel Sect, Zhou Chun exchanged another third-grade intermediate magic weapon, the Qingni Bracelet, for a third-grade intermediate defensive magic weapon, the Qianjin Ring.

Although the magic weapon Qingni Bracelet had helped Zhou Chun resist the soul-sucking thunder sound attack from the silver-robed young man Wang Jun when he was in the Great Zhou Kingdom, the conflict between this wood-attributed magic weapon and Zhou Chun's magic power was too serious. He could only exert less than 80% of its power, and it was far less useful than the gold-attributed Qianjin Circle.

After successfully exchanging two suitable magical instruments, Zhou Chun did not disturb Su Yunniang any further. He only stayed in her cave for one day before returning to the Zhou family to refine the magical instruments.

As for Su Yuzhen, she stayed with Su Yunniang and did not go to Zhou's house with Zhou Chun.

After Zhou Chun returned to the Zhou family, he greeted several elders and began to practice and refine his newly acquired magical weapon in his residence.

A month later, Zhou Chun had mastered the two new magical weapons and his strength increased.

It was at this time that new changes occurred between the Tianjing Sect and the Qinglian Temple, which had been fighting each other fiercely.

Maybe it was because of too great a loss, or maybe there were some other considerations, all the immortal cultivation families under the Tianjing Sect suddenly closed their mountains collectively, and the clan members and disciples no longer left the clan’s mountain gate residence.

In this case, if they want to attack these families again, they can only cut down the mountains and exterminate the clans like they did to the Zhou family back then.

But firstly, cutting down mountains and exterminating a clan is not easy to do; secondly, cutting down mountains and exterminating a clan on a large scale is very taboo.

The Zhou family could do this to the Jiang family at that time because the Jiang family had repeatedly targeted the Zhou family, and the two sides had developed a great hatred for each other, and this incident was also an isolated case.

But if we now launch a large-scale campaign to cut down mountains and exterminate the immortal cultivation families in Lingzhou, it would be a premeditated massacre.

This kind of thing will bring great negative reputation.

Another thing is that the immortal cultivation families in various places have formed marriages with each other. Many immortal cultivation families in Lingzhou have formed marriages with families in Yunzhou and Lanzhou, and each of them has their own female cultivators marrying into the other family.

If the mountain is cut down and the clan is exterminated, there is no guarantee that the clan will not kill each other, which is something a family of immortal cultivators would never want to happen.

Therefore, after all the immortal cultivation families in Lingzhou closed their mountains, the families in Lanzhou and Yunzhou also stopped and no longer hunted them down.

The Qinglian Temple has not given any further instructions for the time being.

The situation suddenly became confusing again.

But no matter what, from the perspective of the Zhou family, Zhou Chun and other senior members of the Zhou family still hope that the war can come as late as possible, so that the Zhou family can have a few more decades to develop.

Therefore, Zhou Chun is quite happy with this change in the situation.

"Patriarch, I am ready. Please give me the foundation-building pill!"

Inside the Zhongping Palace, an ordinary-looking young man in green knelt on the ground in front of the clan leader Zhou Chun and respectfully asked him for something that countless Qi-refining cultivators of the Zhou family dreamed of.

This ordinary-looking young man in green is none other than Zhou Xinyan, the only cultivator with top-grade spiritual roots among the younger generation of the Zhou family.

This boy possesses the aptitude of superior spiritual roots, and with the support of various resources from the Zhou family, he is now in his thirties and has successfully cultivated to the twelfth level of the Qi Refining Stage. He can then take the Foundation Establishment Pill to build his foundation.

With his superior spiritual roots, as long as his luck is not too bad, he can basically succeed in building his foundation with the help of the Foundation Building Pill.

Therefore, facing his request, Zhou Chun did not make it difficult. He just nodded and said, "According to the clan rules, the clan members with superior spiritual roots will be given a foundation-building pill for free to support their foundation building after their cultivation reaches the twelfth level of the Qi Refining Stage. Since you are ready now, Xinyan, I will naturally not make it difficult for you."

"It's just that the Foundation Establishment Pill is not easy to come by. I hope you can be truly prepared before taking it. Don't let the family down!"

After saying that, he went to the family secret vault in person, took out the Foundation Establishment Pill stored therein, and handed it to Zhou Xinyan personally.

"Thank you, Patriarch. I will never let the family and the Patriarch down!"

The young man in green tightly grasped the pill bottle in his hand and made the promise with a look of joy on his face.

After a few days, Zhou Xinyan entered the secret retreat room on Pagoda Peak and began to build his foundation.

At the same time, taking advantage of the temporary calm in the situation in Jingguo, Zhou Chun also set off for the Caiyu Mountain stronghold in the wilderness and secretly met with Lin Hongyu who was practicing there.

"...In short, this is the situation. How much the cold jade mine can be sold for depends on your own methods, Senior Lin!"

In the Caiyushan stronghold, Zhou Chun calmly told the story of the Yang Kingdom's snowy cold jade mine, and gave this benefit to Lin Hongyu for free.

Lin Hongyu, who had received this benefit for nothing, was not a fool. She quickly understood the hidden meaning behind Zhou Chun's words and looked at him meaningfully, saying, "Brother Zhou, this gift is quite heavy. Is there anything you need my help with?"

This is what Zhou Chun was waiting for her to say.

He immediately said frankly: "I dare not hide it from Senior Lin. After you have refined your life magic weapon, I do have an important matter that needs your help!"

After saying that, he told him about his plan to get the Millennium Dragon Grass.

This matter is his personal affair. Although Lin Hongyu promised to protect the Zhou family, she would only help the Zhou family when they encountered problems.

Things like helping Zhou Chun to obtain the Millennium Dragon Grass are not within the scope of protecting the Zhou family.

Therefore, if Zhou Chun wanted her to take the risk to help him do this, he would definitely have to pay benefits that would impress her.

After hearing what he wanted, Lin Hongyu only hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "If you just want to lure the dragon away and fight with it for a while, I have no problem with that. I agree to this."
