Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Ancient relics emerge, and the ten Nascent Soul cultivators and the ten Holy Mages of the Multi-Winged Clan face off in a stunning showdown...

The discovery of a ten-thousand-year-old elixir in an ancient ruin has triggered a fight among more than twenty Jindan-stage cultivators and a great magician from the Multi-Winged Clan...

A mysterious monster appeared in the ancient ruins, and many Jindan monks and the great magician of the "Multi-Winged Clan" died...

A fifth-level spiritual tree was found in the ancient ruins, suspected to be a ten-thousand-year-old purple mulberry tree...

As soon as Zhou Chun entered the market town of the Great Zhou Kingdom and asked around, he heard all kinds of rumors about the ancient ruins on the Dolan grassland.

Only then did he realize what great events had taken place nearby during the years he had been practicing in seclusion at the bottom of Muli Lake.

The showdown between a Yuanying stage immortal and a holy wizard!

The war caused by the ten thousand year old elixir!
The golden elixir catastrophe caused by monsters!
There is also the extremely rare fifth-level spiritual wood "Ten Thousand Year Purple Mulberry Wood"!
Any of these things, if they happened under normal circumstances, would cause quite a stir in the world of immortal cultivation.

But now they are happening one after another and simultaneously within just a few years.

Zhou Chun could imagine how happy and excited those ordinary cultivators in the Great Zhou Kingdom, who were like spectators, had been in the past few years.

However, thinking of the fifth-level spiritual wood "Ten Thousand Year Purple Mulberry Wood", Zhou Chun couldn't help but touch the storage bag on his waist.

If the rumors are true, the piece of tree root in his storage bag is most likely from this fifth-level spiritual tree.

Under normal circumstances, the roots of this fifth-level spiritual tree are relatively important and will definitely not fall into the hands of a Purple Mansion Stage cultivator.

However, Yuanying-stage cultivators were not allowed to enter the ancient ruins at that time, and the Jindan-stage cultivators must have fought a fierce battle over the fifth-order spirit wood.

It is hard to say who finally chopped down and pulled out this fifth-level spiritual tree, but it was definitely broken directly by extremely brutal means.

In this case, with the huge root system of a fifth-level spiritual tree, it is normal to have some broken tree roots remaining underground.

Those Jindan stage cultivators must have been fighting over the trunk of the fifth-level spiritual tree at that time. No one would only care about the scraps in the ground.

"I wonder if the roots of that thousand-year-old purple mulberry tree can still sprout and grow new plants. If it can, then this item is really incredibly valuable!"

Zhou Chun's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but feel more expectant.

He knew that ordinary mulberry trees could propagate new plants by planting branches, but he didn't know whether the fifth-level spiritual wood such as the "Ten Thousand Year Purple Mulberry Wood" could do the same.

But if they can do it, the Zhou family will undoubtedly make a fortune.

After all, the new plants bred from the roots of the "Ten Thousand Year Purple Mulberry Wood" may not necessarily become fifth-order spiritual woods in the future, but there will be no problem for them to become top-level fourth-order spiritual woods.

The purple mulberry wood is a spiritual wood that is extremely valuable in itself. Its mulberry leaves are the favorite food of many demon silkworms and can also be used to make tea. The mulberry bark is an excellent raw material for talisman paper, and its branches can also be used to refine magical instruments. Mulberry fruit is a very delicious spiritual fruit.

The new plant bred from the roots of the "Ten Thousand Year Purple Mulberry Wood" is estimated to become a third-level spiritual wood in less than a hundred years, and then the entire Zhou family will benefit from it.

It's just some information I got from the ordinary market, so I don't dare to trust it completely.

After staying for a while, Zhou Chun hurried to Tianyuan Fairy City.

A few days later, Zhou Chun returned to Tianyuan Fairy City again.

As soon as he came back, he first went to the alchemy shop where Luo Qingni was affiliated to inquire about the information.

The result was just as he expected. Luo Qingni not only returned safely to Tianyuan Fairy City, but also announced three years ago that she would go into seclusion and no longer accept alchemy commissions.

After making sure that his investment would not go to waste, Zhou Chun went to "Tianzhi Tower" and spent thousands of spirit coins to buy a piece of first-class intelligence about ancient ruins.

According to people from "Tianzhi Tower", most of the information in this Grade A intelligence is true. It was provided by monks who had entered the ancient ruins. It is much more real and reliable than the various rumors outside.

After Zhou Chun bought the information, he returned to the inn and checked it carefully.

Sure enough, after a careful inspection, he knew that his thousands of spirit coins were not wasted.

The first-class intelligence of "Tianzhi Tower" records the relevant information of ancient ruins in great detail.

According to the intelligence, the ancient ruins were the abandoned mountain gate of an ancient sect called "Xuan Tian Zong". It was sealed by an extremely mysterious forbidden formation and was completely unknown to outsiders.

But a few years ago, the forbidden formation that sealed the ruins had problems for unknown reasons, and the leaked aura was sensed by a Jindan-stage cultivator named Yuan Hong. He then found a formation master and several Zifu-stage cultivators to break the formation.

It was just that the formation master underestimated the concentration of spiritual energy in the abandoned mountain gate of the "Xuan Tian Sect" within the sealing formation, and the sealing formation he set up was unable to seal the strange phenomenon caused by the emergence of the ruins, which eventually led to this ancient relic being discovered by the "Multi-Winged Clan" magician.

As to why the "Xuan Tian Sect" abandoned this mountain gate, the intelligence from "Tian Zhi Tower" did not mention anything. It is not known whether it was an intentional concealment or they were really unaware.

However, because it was a mountain gate that was abandoned voluntarily, there were no ancient treasures, elixirs, or secret skills left in the ancient ruins.

The things that are truly useful to today's cultivators are, on the contrary, some low-age medicinal herbs and spiritual woods that were not even considered important when the "Xuan Tian Sect" abandoned this mountain gate.

These spiritual herbs and medicines, which may have been less than a hundred years old in the past, have now become treasures that even Nascent Soul cultivators are fighting for after growing for thousands or tens of thousands of years.

Zhou Chun had only heard of the thousand-year-old elixir and the fifth-grade spiritual wood "Ten Thousand Year-Old Purple Mulberry Wood" before. In fact, the thousand-year-old elixir and fifth-grade spiritual wood produced in the ancient ruins were far more than one or two.

The intelligence from "Tianzhi Tower" alone recorded the existence of five thousand-year-old elixirs, three of which were seized by human cultivators and two by "Multi-Winged Clan" mages.

In addition to the fifth-level spiritual tree "Ten Thousand Year Purple Mulberry Wood", there is also a "Ten Thousand Year Green Cloud Wood" and a "Ten Thousand Year Yellow Dragon Wood" in the ancient ruins.

These three fifth-tier spiritual trees were cut off and broken in the battle. The human cultivators and the "Multi-Winged Clan" mages each harvested a lot of spiritual wood fragments, but overall the human cultivators gained more.

In addition, regarding the mysterious monster in the rumors, it is said that it is most likely the transformation of a great wizard of the "Multi-Winged Clan" who accidentally entered the ancient ruins. The unlucky guy was trapped and died somewhere in the ruins. After his death, his resentment did not dissipate, so he turned into a monster.

At the same time, in the battle for treasures in the ancient ruins, many human cultivators and "Multi-Winged Clan" mages suffered casualties, including five or six well-known Jindan-stage cultivators.

And more great wizards of the "Multi-Winged Clan" will die.

Now, several years have passed, and the spiritual medicines and spiritual trees in the ancient ruins have been almost completely plundered. The formation masters of the human race are all studying the forbidden formation, hoping to complete it and continue to seal this place.

The mages of the "Multi-Winged Clan" had no objection to this.

According to the gossip obtained by "Tianzhilou", this ancient relic may become a trial site for the two races in the future. It will be opened every hundred or several hundred years, and then those second-level juniors will be allowed to enter to fight and grab treasures.

This is also the common method used by the human cultivation world today to deal with various ancient relics.

After all, in a secret place like this with rich spiritual energy and unique environment, if a large number of immortal cultivators were stationed there for a long time, it would only destroy the environment and turn it into an ordinary sacred mountain.

It would be better to seal it up and use it specifically to cultivate some special spiritual medicines that are difficult to grow in the outside world.

"Ancient relics have been unearthed, and a large number of thousand-year-old spiritual medicines have emerged. Now is the best opportunity to exchange related spiritual medicines. Our store intends to hold a private exchange meeting for fellow Taoists to exchange what they have. Those who are interested can come to our store for details!"

At the end of the intelligence material, Zhou Chun also saw the following words left by the official of "Tianzhilou", which can be regarded as an official advertisement.

"A swap meet?"

Zhou Chun's eyes flickered and he was a little moved.

He now has quite a few thousand-year-old elixirs in his hands, but they may not be the ones he wants.

If he could exchange the thousand-year-old elixirs needed to refine magic elixirs through the exchange meeting, it would undoubtedly save him a lot of time.

However, there will definitely be Jindan-stage cultivators participating in such an exchange meeting, and Zhou Chun cannot guarantee that there won’t be Jindan-stage cultivators who have cultivated the magical power of spiritual eyes among them.

If he really met such a person, and the other party used his spiritual eyes to observe him, the "human-faced fish glue" he used to disguise himself would not be able to hide from the other party's spiritual eyes.

"Let's go and ask. If you can use magic tools to cover your face at the venue, then go and try. If not, forget it!"

Zhou Chun made up his mind and immediately went to "Tianzhi Building" to inquire about the exchange meeting.

In response to Zhou Chun's inquiry, the shopkeeper of Tianzhilou quickly replied, "It's easy for seniors to participate in the exchange. All they need to do is show a thousand-year-old spiritual medicine and spend two thousand spiritual coins to buy an invitation!"

Hearing this answer, Zhou Chun couldn't help but curse in his heart that the owner of "Tianzhi Tower" was really a greedy ghost who was obsessed with money.

Just an invitation to the exchange meeting costs two thousand spirit coins, and one must provide a thousand-year-old spiritual medicine as proof of qualification.

But he continued to ask, "Can I conceal my identity at the exchange? I don't want others to covet the treasures I exchanged!"

"Of course you can. When the exchange meeting begins, this building will provide uniform identity-covering instruments to absolutely guarantee the safety of all participants."

The shop owner replied with a serious face.

"Then send an invitation to Zhang!"

As Zhou Chun spoke, he took out two thousand spirit coins and a thousand-year-old spiritual medicine that he brought from the Zhou family and handed them to the store owner.

After receiving the spiritual coins and inspecting the thousand-year-old spiritual medicine, the shop owner quickly and respectfully handed him the spiritual medicine and a jade talisman.

"Senior, please keep this jade talisman. The exchange meeting will be held in about three months. When the time comes, as long as you are in Tianyuan Immortal City, the jade talisman will send a signal to notify you, and then you can bring the jade talisman to this building."

At this point, the shopkeeper added a little more emphasis and said, "And please note, senior, we only recognize tokens and not people. Before you actually enter the exchange meeting, we will verify again whether you have the thousand-year-old elixir with you!"

"Is that so? Zhang understands."

Zhou Chun nodded, immediately put away the jade talisman and elixir, turned around and left "Tianzhi Tower".

Three months is not a long time, so he planned to practice in the training room for a few months and wait.

Time flies, and three months passed in a flash.

On this day, Zhou Chun was meditating in the practice room when suddenly the jade talisman he bought from "Tianzhi Tower" activated automatically, making a buzzing sound to remind him.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately raised his hand and released a stream of magic power onto the jade talisman, suppressing the abnormal movement. He then quickly left the training room and headed for the "Tianzhi Tower".

When he arrived at the "Tianzhi Tower" and showed the jade talisman, he was asked to show the thousand-year-old elixir for verification.

After the verification was successful, someone handed him a gray cloak made of unknown material and a tiger head mask to put on, and finally a special person took him to a loft in the backyard. When Zhou Chun entered the loft where the exchange meeting was held, he saw that there were already 20 to 30 cultivators in the building, and all of them, regardless of their cultivation level, were wearing cloaks and masks like him, sitting on chairs.

Zhou Chun had already verified that the cloak on his body was a special shielding magic weapon that could block the wearer's magical aura.

The mask can block the monk's spiritual vision and supernatural power, making it difficult for people to see their own appearance.

Therefore, without using his magic power, no one would know whether he was a Jindan-stage cultivator or a Zifu-stage cultivator.

In such a situation, obviously no one would use spiritual sense to scan others, as that would easily arouse public anger.

So after entering the attic, he sat down on an empty chair and waited quietly.

After waiting for about an hour, the number of monks in the attic exceeded fifty, and the owner finally showed up.

A thin old man in black clothes and white hair suddenly walked into the building, followed by a beautiful woman in white clothes and a big man in a yellow robe.

These three people all showed their true faces, and their cultivation had all reached the Golden Core Stage. The thin old man in the lead was even a cultivator in the late Golden Core Stage.

After the three of them entered the building, they went straight to the main seat and sat down.

Then the thin old man bowed to everyone and said, "Dear Taoist friends, please come in. I am Tianzhi Sanren, the owner of this Tianzhi Tower. These two are Fairy Chen and Master Wu. This exchange meeting will be hosted by the three of us."

Without waiting for the crowd's response, he continued, "The rules of this exchange are very simple. First, the three of us will take turns to show our exchange items. Then, the fellow Taoists who want to exchange items from the three of us can show their own items first, and it will be like this in turns."

After the words were spoken, there was a brief silence in the attic.

Then a monk wearing a monkey mask whispered, "This kind of exchange rule is quite rare. Friends who know about it should start quickly."

Upon hearing this, Tianzhi Sanren glanced at the other people, then nodded slightly and said, "Okay, since no one among you Daoists objects, this exchange will officially begin now."

After saying that, he raised his hand and patted the storage bag on his waist, and then several rays of light flew in front of him, revealing five jade boxes and two magical spiritual materials.

With a wave of his hand, the lids of the five jade boxes opened, revealing five different thousand-year-old elixirs inside.

The two magical materials were a two-foot-seven-inch long piece of black-purple wood and a fist-sized crystal stone emitting a blue glow.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were attracted by the treasure he took out, Tianzhi Sanren said calmly: "I won't introduce these five thousand-year-old spiritual medicines. This piece of spiritual wood is the hardest part of the trunk of the fourth-level spiritual wood 'Millennium Black Maple'. With this size, it is enough to refine flying swords, wooden rulers and other magic weapons; this crystal is a very rare 'Blue Sea Yuan Crystal', which can be used to refine some strange magic weapons."

After introducing the origins and uses of several items, Tianzhi Sanren also stated his own needs: "These seven items can only be exchanged for three types of items: Gengjin, Tianjingshi, and Longevity Spiritual Items. If a Taoist friend can bring out these three types of treasures, even if they are much more valuable than these, or if you want something better, I can add another treasure in exchange, and I will never let you suffer a loss!"

After hearing what he said, none of the cultivators present said a word, as if no one was willing to give face to this late Jindan cultivator.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun shook his head slightly inwardly.

Of course, what Tianzhi Sanren took out was good stuff, but what he wanted was even rarer and harder to find.

Needless to say, few cultivators would exchange the spiritual object that could prolong life with others after obtaining it, unless they had already taken the same kind of spiritual object and could no longer take it.

After all, aren't the things that cultivators seek for immortality the result of their practice of cultivation?

Although life-extending spiritual objects cannot make people immortal, they can extend the lifespan of cultivators and allow people to live longer.

For cultivators, only by living longer can they have the opportunity to break through to a higher level.

The remaining two items, Gengjin and Tianjing Stone, are also rare treasures in the world.

Gengjin is a top-level metal spiritual object. Any magical weapon such as a flying sword can greatly enhance its sharpness after adding Gengjin.

As far as Zhou Chun knew, some of the powerful sword techniques and killing moves practiced by sword cultivators could only unleash their true power by mixing Gengjin into the flying sword.

The "Golden Tripod Mysterious Art" that he practiced, the life-saving magic weapon to be refined after the Golden Core Stage, can also be developed into a powerful killing move by adding Geng Gold.

No one who gets a treasure like this would easily give it out to exchange with others.

The same goes for Zhou Chun.

He actually had a piece of Gengjin, but it was not obtained by him. Instead, it was found by Zhou Mingde in the storage bag of the insect cultivator Han Yuan. It is now stored in the Zhou family treasury.

The other treasure, the Sky Crystal Stone, is also an extremely rare and precious spiritual object. It can greatly enhance the durability of magic weapons and is most suitable for strengthening the cultivator's natal magic weapon.

Naturally, no one would take out such things to exchange with others, unless they have too much to use them all.

After waiting for almost a cup of tea without anyone speaking, Tianzhi Sanren sighed softly, waved his hand to put away all the things, and then nodded to the big man in the yellow robe, "Master Wu".

After receiving this signal, Master Wu immediately slapped his storage bag and took out his exchange item.

This Master Wu took out five things in total, including three magical instruments and two magical herbs.

After he took out the things, he said in a deep voice: "These three magic tools are all third-grade top-grade magic tools carefully refined by Wu, all of which are integrated with magic treasure spiritual materials, and these two spiritual medicines are also rare fine products."

After that, he also stated his own needs: "Wu's requirements for these things are not high. Any main materials and magic weapon ores from any fourth-level monsters can be exchanged with Wu. Wu will select and determine the exchange object. Interested Taoist friends can communicate with Wu through voice transmission to discuss."

Obviously, this Master Wu was just like the weapon refining master Zhu Wuya, whom Zhou Chun had dealt with before. They were both weapon refining masters who wanted to reach the level of weapon refining grandmaster.

The exchange conditions he offered undoubtedly attracted many monks.

Then Zhou Chun saw his lips moving slightly, and he was communicating with other cultivators through telepathy.

Unfortunately, the magic weapons and elixirs he took out were not what Zhou Chun needed, so Zhou Chun just watched them this time.

Not long after, Master Wu's three magic weapons and two spiritual medicines were all exchanged away, which brought a smile to his face.

Then Fairy Chen took over his place.

Fairy Chen had the least stuff among the three. She waved her hand and took out three jade boxes. When they were opened, they were all filled with the same kind of elixir.

Then he said in a cold voice: "These are three thousand-year-old jade marrow mushrooms. I will only exchange them for spiritual ginseng that is more than three thousand years old. If you have these, please send me a message to quote me a price."

Thousand-year-old chalcedony ganoderma!
Upon hearing these words, many monks present were moved.

Zhou Chun is no exception.

His eyes were fixed on the elixirs in the three jade boxes.

I saw that the magical medicine in the jade box was a milky white Ganoderma lucidum. Its leaves and stems were as crystal clear as jade, and there were natural light golden magical patterns on them, which looked extremely beautiful.

The reason why this item moved Zhou Chun and many other cultivators was because it was the main material necessary for refining the foundation-building pill.

This kind of Jadeite Ganoderma is difficult to grow, and it must be planted on fourth-level spiritual trees to be successful, so it has almost become a product of monopoly by various large forces.

After all, only large sects can possess living fourth-level spiritual trees.

Even if someone discovered a fourth-level spiritual wood in the wild, it would be impossible to transplant it successfully without the Ganoderma lucidum robe of the Jadeite Ganoderma.

Even if the transplanting is successful, it will take a thousand years to harvest.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, only those large sects with a long history can cultivate such magical medicines in large quantities.

It is basically impossible for them to allow such elixir to be leaked out.

Because this Jade Marrow Ganoderma is not only the necessary main material for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, but also an alternative material for refining many kinds of rare elixirs. It can replace many kinds of spiritual medicines as the main material.

"Who exactly is this Fairy Chen? Why is she able to produce three thousand-year-old Jade Marrow Ganoderma at once?"

Zhou Chun looked at Fairy Chen with suspicion, and became extremely curious about her identity.

Then after hesitating for a while, he still couldn't resist the temptation and sent a message to the other party to make an offer.

"Fairy Chen, I have a white jade ginseng that is over 3,000 years old. How about exchanging it for your three thousand-year-old jade ganoderma?"

Fortunately, he made an unexpected fortune at the bottom of Muli Lake, otherwise he really couldn't afford this price.

However, after hearing his voice transmission, Fairy Chen quickly said in a deep voice: "Daoyou are joking. Although the three thousand year old white jade ginseng is precious, it is impossible to exchange it for three thousand year old jade ganoderma. At most I can give you two!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately replied, "If I only exchange two plants, I will be at a disadvantage. How about this, I will add a 1,500-year-old Polygonatum sibiricum. That should be fine, right?"

This time his words did not receive a response. Perhaps it was because someone else offered a higher price, but Fairy Chen simply stopped talking to him.

But just when Zhou Chun was disappointed and thought he would miss this opportunity, Fairy Chen sent him a message half a cup of tea later, saying, "Okay, let's exchange it according to what you said!"

It actually worked!

Zhou Chun was stunned for a moment, then his disappointment disappeared instantly, and he happily replied, "Okay, it's a deal."

After saying that, he hurriedly took out two jade boxes and used his magic power to carry them to the Fairy Chen.

After opening the lid of the jade box and taking a few glances at it, Fairy Chen quickly handed the jade box containing three thousand-year-old chalcedony ganoderma to Zhou Chun.

Afterwards, the two of them put away the jade boxes, with satisfaction on their faces.

Especially Zhou Chun, his face under the mask could be described as ecstatic at this moment.

Although no one in the Zhou family has ever refined the Foundation Establishment Pill, it does not mean that they do not know the production volume of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

As far as Zhou Chun knew, if a master alchemist did it, a thousand-year-old chalcedony ganoderma could be used to refine at least seven or eight foundation-building pills.

If one performs exceptionally well, it is not impossible to produce nine pills.

In other words, if he asked Luo Qingni to help him refine the Foundation Establishment Pills, he would be able to get at least twenty pills!
How could he not be ecstatic!
