Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Chapter 443 Qing Weizi's Recruitment [Subscription Request]

Qinglian Temple, inside the master's hall.

Looking at the [Green Lotus Jade Order] that Zhou Chun took out, Qing Weizi and Qing Lingzi were silent for a moment.

Qing Lingzi didn't know when Qinglian Temple had rewarded the Zhou family with such a treasure, so it was not easy for him to say anything at this time.

Qing Weizi remembered why this item was given as a reward, but she never thought that Zhou Chun would use this item to take the blame now.

That’s right, the [Green Lotus Jade Token] is the highest-level treasure bestowed by the Qinglian Temple to its subordinate forces. It is itself a golden medal of immunity from death and a life-saving treasure.

As long as you haven't committed the unforgivable crime of treason or killing the disciples of Qinglian Temple, you can use this item to atone for your sins.

Zhou Chun took out this item to atone for his crime at this time, and there was nothing wrong with the procedure.

As one of the three major forces in Jingguo, Qinglian Temple certainly cannot deny the role of the [Qinglian Jade Order].

If he really did so, he would no longer be able to gain the sincere support and loyalty of his families in the future. The consequence would be much greater than acknowledging the effect of the [Green Lotus Jade Order].

Zhou Chun was the only one in Qinglian Temple, while the other members of the Zhou family, including Lin Hongyu, a Jindan-stage cultivator, were still scattered everywhere.

If Qing Weizi did not acknowledge the effectiveness of the [Green Lotus Jade Order] at this time and tried to silence Zhou Chun, then the reputation of the Qinglian Temple would be completely ruined.

In this period of war, if your reputation is ruined, the consequences will be serious!
So after looking at the [Green Lotus Jade Token] held high in Zhou Chun's hand in silence for a long time, Qing Weizi raised his hand and took the jade token into his own hand.

He stroked the jade token in his hand and sighed with emotion: "It seems that little friend Zhou has been prepared for a long time. The last time my Qinglian Temple issued the [Qinglian Jade Token] was to your Zhou family decades ago. I didn't expect that this jade token would return to the sect so soon!"

When Zhou Chun heard what he said, he immediately knew that this hurdle was passed.

But he did not stand up immediately, but replied respectfully: "The great love of the clan to the Zhou family has always been remembered by the younger generation and the Zhou family, and we dare not forget it."

Hearing this, Qing Weizi couldn't help but look at him meaningfully and smiled, "Haha, my friend, there's no need to remind me like this. I am also aware of the contributions made by the Zhou family over the years, and I have never forgotten them!"

With his experience and knowledge, how could he not know the intention of Zhou Chun's words just now.

During the "Thousand Cricket Plague" incident, Qinglian Temple became famous because of the effective insect extermination method discovered by the Zhou family, and received many benefits from the Yang State. The Zhou family never made this matter public.

Also, when the Hualong Sect was being conquered, Zhou Chun was an undercover agent and provided key information, making great contributions, but this was never made public.

This time, Zhou Chun even killed Jiang Zhong, one of the "Seven Demons of Yuanmo", in the battle, and made a great contribution.

If Qinglian Temple targeted the Zhou family because of Lin Hongyu's matter at this time, then these things would definitely be exposed.

By that time, the reputation of Qinglian Temple would be greatly damaged, and Qing Weizi would definitely not be able to escape the reputation of being "hypocritical".

At this time, after responding to Zhou Chun with a smile, he personally waved his hand and used a magical power to help Zhou Chun up.

Then he said calmly, "Since young friend Zhou and your Zhou family are willing to guarantee that fellow Daoist Lin, and are willing to use the [Green Lotus Jade Order] to settle this matter, this seat and our sect can naturally let this go and not hold the Zhou family responsible."

“But Fellow Daoist Lin is from the Hualong Sect after all. Even if our sect can trust Fellow Daoist Zhou and the Zhou family and not pursue her, it’s hard to say about the Yuelun Sect and Yanyang Sect. You have to know that many people from both sects died at the hands of Hualong Sect monks, and they have an irreconcilable hatred with the Hualong Sect!”

What this means is that Qinglian Temple can ignore the fact that the Zhou family took in Lin Hongyu, and will not take action against Lin Hongyu.

However, there is no guarantee that the monks from the Yuelun Sect and the Yanyang Sect will not take action against Lin Hongyu and the Zhou family after knowing this.

In fact, he and Zhou Chun both knew that this was just a threat to Zhou Chun and the Zhou family.

After all, the Zhou family is a vassal family of the Qinglian Temple. As the saying goes, one must look at the owner before beating the dog. If the Jindan-stage cultivators of the Yuelun Sect and the Yanyang Sect want to take action against the Zhou family, they must first inform the Qinglian Temple.

Therefore, as long as Qinglian Temple is willing to protect the Zhou family, and Lin Hongyu is a Jindan-stage cultivator and has no Jindan-stage cultivators from the Yuelun Sect and the Yanyang Sect at risk, there will most likely be no problem.

But why did Qinglian Temple want to protect the Zhou family?

How can we make Qinglian Temple willing to protect the Zhou family?

This is not within the scope of application of [Green Lotus Jade Order].

In other words, unless Zhou Chun can take out another [Qinglian Jade Order] and ask Qinglian Temple to do this.

It’s a pity that Zhou Chun can’t take out another [Green Lotus Jade Token] now!

So this is something to discuss.

Zhou Chun thought of this and immediately bowed deeply to Qing Weizi and said, "I am a foolish junior, please give me some pointers!"

Hearing his words, Qing Weizi immediately smiled calmly and said, "Young friend Zhou is not stupid. If I am not mistaken, the reason why your Zhou family let that fellow Daoist Lin reveal his identity at this time is because you know that the two great cultivation worlds are fighting and they need people right now. You want to take this opportunity to resolve the hidden dangers and join the ranks of the Jindan family in an open and aboveboard manner!"

Zhou Chun remained silent and did not refute.

We are all old foxes who have lived for so many years, who can hide the truth from whom?

If no one can see through the Zhou family's plan, then Qing Weizi's position as the headmaster would be in vain.

Seeing that he did not refute, Qing Weizi continued, "Since your Zhou family has this idea, I am naturally happy to do you a favor."

Then he looked at Zhou Chun with a sharp gaze and said, "How about this, as long as your fellow Daoist Lin from the Zhou family is willing to join the Tianling Army and serve the army until the end of the war, her identity issue will no longer be a problem. Even if the Hualong Sect wants to deal with her in the future, our three sects will protect her!"

After hearing what Qing Weizi said, Zhou Chun knew that this was the only way to solve the problem.

But he did not agree immediately. Instead, he bowed to Qing Weizi and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior Master, but I cannot make the decision on this matter on behalf of Elder Lin. I need to go back and ask for instructions."

Hearing his answer, Qing Weizi immediately said calmly: "It's no problem to ask for instructions, but it's better for you to confirm this matter quickly, otherwise the Moon Wheel Sect and the Yanyang Sect will know about this and put pressure on us, and it will be difficult for me to refuse."

"Yes, this junior understands."

Zhou Chun nodded and responded with a serious expression.

"Okay, now that we've finished talking about this matter, let's talk about another matter. How did you find Jiang Zhong, and how did you kill him? As far as I know, this person should have been protected by a fourth-level corpse refining technique given by the Corpse Demon Cult. Logically speaking, with your current level of cultivation, it's impossible for you to kill him!"

Qing Weizi looked at Zhou Chun with sharp eyes, and asked him directly about the details of how he killed Jiang Zhong without any hesitation.

This was the real reason why he asked Qing Lingzi to bring Zhou Chun to Qinglian Temple.

It's not that he wants to boost others' morale and destroy his own prestige, but even if he counts all the Purple Mansion cultivators in the entire Qinglian Temple, he can't find anyone who can match Jiang Zhongfang.

Among the "Seven Great Spirits of Heaven", Jingguo had previously forcibly nominated a genius from the Yanyang Sect, but that person has now been squeezed out.

That is to say, in such a huge country like Jingguo, there is not even one person who is among the "Seven Heroes of Heavenly Spirits".

This incident has always been used by high-level cultivators from other countries to make fun of the cultivators of Jingguo in the circle of high-level cultivators, making high-level cultivators like Qing Weizi lose face.

But even if they were angry, there was nothing they could do.

After all, even if they were willing to give away treasures, there had to be someone who had the strength to unleash the power of the treasures and to gain enough military merits to be included in the ranks of the "Seven Heavenly Spirits". But who could blame the younger generations of their respective sects for not living up to expectations and not producing any geniuses of that level?

But in this situation, news suddenly came from the Zhou family that Zhou Chun, a mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator, had killed Jiang Zhong, the "Corpse Evil General" among the "Seven Demons of Yuanmo" in a one-on-one situation!
When Qing Weizi learned about this, one can imagine how shocked and happy he was.

He didn't know how Zhou Chun did it, he only knew that if this was true, then Jingguo's lost face in the Tianling Alliance would be regained all at once.

And they can also justifiably fight back against those who have laughed at them and slap them hard in the face.

However, before trying to save face, in order to avoid any misunderstanding, Qing Weizi must first understand the details of the incident so that she can have more confidence.

Zhou Chun had already thought about how to explain it long before he took action, so he just naturally said it according to the script.

"To reply to what Senior Master said, I was able to kill Jiang Zhong mainly because of the help of the demon beasts, spirit pets and demon insects."

"Master, you must know that the Silver Lightning Python monster I raised has been promoted to a third-level Silver Lightning Dragon Python. Although this monster is not as powerful as the Thunder Dragon, the lightning power it possesses is also quite powerful. It is even more effective against monsters such as ghosts and corpses."

"And my other mutant monster, the Golden Rock Turtle, has now been promoted to a third-level monster. It has also awakened a geomagnetic power by fusing the power of earth and gold, and has also awakened the earth escape power. Its defense is very strong at the third level."

"In addition, I have also tamed a kind of frost-attributed demon bee. The cold air it spews out can also cause considerable damage to Purple Mansion cultivators. It is also very effective when dealing with monsters such as corpse refiners. I have also cultivated a group of 'corpse moths', which are also very effective in restraining corpse refiners."

"In addition, I have the 'Golden Light Bowl' talisman given by the temple master and another third-grade top-grade defensive magic weapon with magical materials. I have also practiced several offensive secret techniques, so I can fight against ordinary late-stage Purple Mansion cultivators."

“As for the fourth-level zombie on Jiang Zhong’s body, after Jiang Zhong released it, it was quickly restrained by Elder Lin, and did not affect this junior from killing Jiang Zhong!”

"Moreover, the other two demon monks also died at the hands of the fourth-level zombie. This junior got an advantage!"

Inside the headmaster's hall, Zhou Chun recounted the entire course of the battle that day.

Except for hiding the identity of the white thunder dragon and the identity of the stone golden-armored mountain turtle, everything else that could be said was told frankly.

The methods he mentioned will be used in the future, so there is no need to worry about causing any trouble if he mentions them now.

After all, the cultivation of monsters and insects depends on personal luck and opportunity.

In the entire Zhou family, only Zhou Chun openly possesses two third-level monsters.

Even if other cultivators are envious of this, they can only envy it and will not even have the intention to snatch it away.

This is also the advantage of beastmasters. The monsters they train are bound to themselves and no one can take them away.

After listening to Zhou Chun's answer, Qing Weizi hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Well, if it is true as you said, then it is quite possible that Jiang Zhong was killed by you."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Chun curiously and asked, "I just wonder if you can let me see your pets. I am also quite curious about these mutant monsters."

"Well, this may disappoint Senior Master. My two monsters were injured in the battle with Jiang Zhong. The Silver Lightning Dragon Python was also weakened because I used the family's secret beast taming technique. Before I came here, I left them in the clan to recover!"

After Zhou Chun was stunned for a moment, he whispered the details with difficulty.

When Qing Weizi heard what he said, she frowned slightly, then smiled faintly and said, "It doesn't matter. Since these are your pets, young friend Zhou, I will definitely have plenty of opportunities to see them in the future."

He did not suspect that Zhou Chun was lying, because these things would definitely be exposed when Zhou Chun fought with others.

There was no point in lying to him at this time.

But he didn't expect that Zhou Chun actually played a trick of "the darkest place under the lamp" on him!

After revealing this matter, he changed the subject and looked at Zhou Chun and continued, "My dear Zhou, you killed Jiang Zhong alone. Once this matter gets out, it will surely shock all countries and make you a celebrity who is not inferior to the 'Seven Heavenly Spirits'. I wonder what your plans are for the future?"

When Zhou Chun heard his words, his heart was moved, but he replied: "I don't have any plans. I just want to practice hard and break through to the late Purple Mansion stage."

This answer obviously did not satisfy Qing Weizi, who immediately said, "Wouldn't that be a pity? With your strength, if you could go to the battlefield and make achievements, you might even be able to compete for the title of 'Seven Heavenly Spirit Heroes'. Not only would your name spread across the world, but you would also receive generous rewards from the alliance, which would be a great success!"

He looked at Zhou Chun temptingly and said, "Let's not talk about anything else. If you can really become one of the 'Seven Heavenly Spirits', it would be a simple matter to ask the alliance to give you a pill that can help you break through the barrier of the late Purple Mansion. This will be much faster than practicing hard for ten or twenty years!"

After hearing this, Zhou Chun could no longer fail to understand what Qing Weizi meant.

He immediately answered respectfully, "To be honest with you, Master, I have also thought about becoming famous, but I have seen that the 'Seven Demons of the Yuan Demon' and the 'Seven Heroes of the Heavenly Spirit' are all talented people from various major sects. Although I am confident that my magical powers are not inferior to theirs, I am born in a humble family and I dare not bring disaster to myself and my family because of my momentary anger!"

Hearing his answer, Qing Weizi couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "Hahaha, my friend Zhou, you are indeed a smart man. You saw the key to this right away."

After laughing, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly looked at Zhou Chun and said, "If you were just a cultivator from a cultivation family, even if you had extraordinary personal strength and skills, it would be difficult for you to be among the 'Seven Heavenly Spirits'. But what if you have the support of our sect or even the Moon Wheel Sect?"

"This... I am stupid, please explain it to me, Senior Master!"

Zhou Chun looked at Qing Weizi with a look of surprise, then quickly lowered his head.

Seeing this, Qing Weizi stopped keeping the secret and said directly: "My meaning is very simple. If you are willing, I can accept you as a registered disciple. In this way, you will be considered half a disciple of my Qinglian Temple, and naturally qualified to participate in the competition of the 'Seven Heavenly Spirits'. The Yuelun Sect has also been wanting to nominate a Jingguo monk to join the 'Seven Heavenly Spirits'."

At this point, he looked at Zhou Chun with a serious face and said, "Of course, I will not take advantage of you for nothing. If you can really make it into the Seven Heavenly Spirits, I will never take away a single cent of the benefits that should be given to you. I will even help you get a good share of the Jindan spiritual object that you will be rewarded with for killing Jiang Zhong. I will also teach you the subsequent parts of the Heart Lotus Orthodoxy so that you will not be afraid of the magic sound and bewitching attacks of the Ecstasy Valley!"

Hearing what he said, Zhou Chun suddenly understood what he meant.

Just to be more certain, Zhou Chun still said boldly: "Can the junior understand that the senior master, Qinglian Temple, and Yuelun Sect only want a title to enhance Jingguo's voice in the alliance, while the part of the interests belonging to the 'Seven Heavenly Spirits' still belongs to the junior!"

"That's about right. There's nothing wrong with your understanding."

Qing Weizi nodded, acknowledging this.

When Zhou Chun saw this, his heart was instantly moved.

But he soon seemed to think of something and suddenly suppressed the urge to agree on the spot.

Instead, he replied hesitantly and respectfully, "This matter is of great importance. I will have to go back and discuss with the elders before making a decision. I hope you will forgive me, Master."

Qing Weizi could see that he was already moved, and nodded immediately after hearing this, saying, "Then go back and discuss the result with your elders as soon as possible. After you have discussed the result, I will report the fact that Jiang Zhong was killed by you!"

"I understand, I will take my leave now."

Zhou Chun bowed and left Qinglian Temple immediately.

After Zhou Chun left, Qing Lingzi, who had been silent the whole time, frowned and looked at Qing Weizi and said, "Master, are you really going to accept this kid as a registered disciple? I don't think this kid is someone who is easy to control. He is too bold. He even dared to take in the remnants of the Hualong Sect. I'm afraid he won't be so easy to control in the future!"

"It's okay. I'll take care of this matter myself."

Qing Weizi shook her head slightly and spoke calmly, looking as if she had mastered the whole matter.

After hearing what he said, Qing Lingzi looked at his expression, but finally said nothing more. He bowed to him and left.

PS: Alas, the power outage in the community lasted for three or four hours this afternoon, so I was unable to write more than 6,000 words today. This was an accident, not my fault! I will try my best to write more than 6,000 words tomorrow!
