Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Chapter 445: Master’s Kindness and Filial Piety [Subscription Request]

After all, the ancestor of the Su family is the helmsman of the Jindan family, and he is also a veteran Jindan-stage cultivator who has been in the Jindan stage for hundreds of years. His understanding of the high-level cultivator circles in Jingguo and even the surrounding countries is far beyond the reach of younger generations like Lin Hongyu.

After listening to what Zhou Chun asked, he gave his opinion, and Zhou Chun had no reason not to take it seriously.

I immediately asked him about the inside story.

According to the Su family's ancestor, beings of the level of the "Seven Heroes of the Heavenly Spirit" and the "Seven Demons of the Yuan Demon" must have a trump card to escape from the Jindan stage cultivators.

It’s like the “Corpse Demon General” Jiang Zhong carries a fourth-level zombie on his body.

If it weren't for Lei Jiao's extraordinary power, he would have seriously injured Jiang Zhong before Jiang Zhong released the fourth-level zombie. Lin Hongyu also arrived in time and fought against the fourth-level zombie.

Even if Zhou Chun had the ability to defeat Jiang Zhong, he could never kill Jiang Zhong.

And even if Lin Hongyu met Jiang Zhong first, she would most likely not be able to kill Jiang Zhong.

If he didn't have this ability, Jiang Zhong wouldn't have dared to sneak into Jingguo and harass the rear.

It can only be said that Jiang Zhong had bad luck. He happened to meet Zhou Chun who had him under control. Even when he escaped underground, he was easily found by Zhou Chun's golden-armored mountain turtle. Instead, he put himself in a disadvantageous situation and it was difficult for him to escape.

If he had not met Zhou Chun, he would have definitely been able to escape.

That's why the Su family's ancestor thought that if Zhou Chun didn't have a trump card to escape from the Jindan stage cultivator, it would be better for him not to go to the battlefield.

Because at that time, no matter if he encountered a Jindan-stage cultivator of the Demonic Path, or encountered members of the "Seven Demons of Yuanmo" who had fourth-level means, he might lose his life.

After he said this, Zhou Chun also realized this problem.

Although the Golden-Armored Mountain Turtle could use the earth escape technique to take him and escape.

But that would require him to fall onto the back of the golden-armored mountain-carrying turtle first, and he might also be interrupted by the enemy's magical powers.

It would be too dangerous to pin all hopes of escaping from the Jindan stage cultivator on this.

After realizing this, Zhou Chun immediately humbly asked the Su family's ancestor for advice.

The Su family's ancestor's view of him was completely different at this time, and he had already raised his status several levels in his heart.

At this time, he naturally would not hesitate to establish a good relationship with him and give him some advice.

According to the guidance of the Su family's ancestor, if Zhou Chun wants to find a way to escape from the Jindan stage cultivator, he has to start from Qinglian Temple or Yuelun Sect.

These two major forces must have ways to help him, it just depends on whether they are willing to invest.

The Su family's ancestor suggested that Zhou Chun go find Su Yunniang first, and use Su Yunniang to create a situation where the Yuelun Sect might want to compete for him, thereby putting pressure on Qing Weizi.

If Qing Weizi could withstand the pressure and refused to invest, then Zhou Chun should just give up this opportunity.

Zhou Chun felt that the Su family ancestor's suggestion was indeed reliable, so he carefully asked for the detailed operation details.

Afterwards, he brought his Taoist partner Su Yuzhen to the Yuelun Sect's mountain gate to visit his aunt Su Yunniang.

As a newly promoted Jindan stage cultivator who had been in the Jindan stage for less than a hundred years, the Yuelun Sect would naturally not allow Su Yunniang to go to the battlefield unless the entire army was deployed.

Besides, she herself had a wide range of friends in the Moon Religion and was very popular, so naturally there were people who spoke up for her to avoid going to the battlefield.

When Zhou Chun and the other came to visit her, she was not in seclusion practicing and quickly met them.

Naturally, when Su Yunniang asked the two about their purpose and heard from Zhou Chun that he had killed the "Corpse Evil General" Jiang Zhong, she was also shocked.

Then Zhou Chun gave another explanation and recounted the entire process.

After Su Yunniang came to her senses, she talked about the advice given by the Su family's ancestor.

After listening to the advice of the Su family's ancestor, Su Yunniang hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "It's not difficult to implement this, but the difficult part is how to make Qing Weizi believe it and be willing to invest resources!"

"You must know that Qing Weizi is the abbot of Qinglian Temple after all. With this identity, she can directly talk to our sect master. Many of our sect's Jindan-stage cultivators have close ties with the Jindan-stage cultivators of Qinglian Temple. If she asks around, she will know that this is a trap designed by us."

Zhou Chun had also thought about this, and then he said: "I also thought about this on the way here. In your opinion, if we tell the head of your sect all our plans, will he be willing to cooperate with us to trick Qinglian Temple? After all, according to Qingweizi's plan, he can also take advantage of your sect!"

"Well, your idea is quite unique. Maybe we can give it a try."

Su Yunniang's eyes lit up and she nodded immediately to indicate that she would give it a try.

And this is naturally something only she can do.

So she immediately let Zhou Chun and his wife rest in her cave, and then she went to the master's hall to meet the head of the Moon Wheel Sect.

The head of the Moon Wheel Sect inherited the title of "True Moon Worshiper". In name, his status is equivalent to that of a Yuanying Zhenren of the sect, and he himself is also a late Jindan cultivator.

After hearing Su Yunniang's purpose, Master Baiyue was a little surprised that Zhou Chun had killed "Corpse General" Jiang Zhong. After all, he didn't know the news yet.

After learning the details, Master Baiyue sighed with a hint of regret: "What a pity! If the family that young friend Zhou came from was under the command of our sect, then I could directly accept him as a registered disciple and give him a life-saving item without any problem!"

After Su Yunniang heard what he said, her beautiful eyes flashed with joy, and she immediately asked tentatively: "Master, since you said so, do you agree to this?"

"Haha, why not agree? That old man Qing Weizi always likes to be smart, why not try to trick him?"

Master Baiyue chuckled and agreed to this matter.

Hearing his answer, Su Yunniang's face was instantly filled with smiles. She bowed to him in a good mood and said, "Then I, nephew, would like to thank you on behalf of my nephew-in-law!"

Then he went back to tell Zhou Chun and his wife the good news.

After she left, Master Baiyue suddenly sneered and said to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "Qingweizi, you have a good plan. You want to use this incident to gain fame for your Qinglian Temple and get recognition from other sects. But you don't know that your ancestor's actions have already touched the bottom line of some people. What's the point of doing this now?"

On the other hand, Zhou Chun was overjoyed when he learned from Su Yunniang that Master Baiyue was willing to cooperate and help.

He immediately thanked Su Yunniang profusely, then took Su Yuzhen away from the Yuelun Sect and returned to the Su family.

But Zhou Chun did not stay in the Su family for long. He just told the ancestor of the Su family the details and then went to the Zhou family with his Taoist partner Su Yuzhen.

They didn't have to waste any more words. They just had to wait for the Moon Worshiper from the Yuelun Sect to make his move.

Therefore, after returning to the Zhou family, Zhou Chun told Zhou Mingde about what he gained from his trip to the Su family.

After hearing the advice from the Su family ancestor, Zhou Mingde could not help but nod his head and said, "Senior Su is indeed very insightful. This matter must be done this way. Without such a guarantee, Zhengchun, you really don't need to take the risk!"

Hearing his words, Zhou Chun couldn't help but smile and said, "So, Grand Elder, you don't have any objections either."

Hearing this, Zhou Mingde looked at him with a depressed look on his face and sighed softly, "Hey, I don't want you to take risks, but you are not a law-abiding person. Even if I force you not to go this time, you may still cause trouble later. After thinking about it, I decided to let you go!"

Seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately comforted him with full confidence, "Don't worry, if I really learned the means to deal with Jindan-stage cultivators from Qinglian Temple, with my abilities, nothing serious will happen."

"I hope so!"

Zhou Mingde sighed, but didn't want to mention it again.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately changed the subject and said, "By the way, since Elder Lin is going to join the Tianling Corps, for her safety, should we first lend her the magic weapon that you, the Supreme Elder, brought back from Yang Country?"

"Then lend it to me. After all, Fellow Daoist Lin is here to fight for the Zhou family. She even turned down such a huge reward before, which shows how much she cares about the family!"

Zhou Mingde pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Back then, the Zhou family didn't dare to give the magic weapon to Lin Hongyu because they were worried that Lin Hongyu would have other ideas after forming the elixir.

Now, decades have passed, and Lin Hongyu has been quietly in charge of the Zhou family. She has also helped the Zhou family several times. It can be seen that she really intends to spend the rest of her life in the Zhou family.

In this case, lending her the magic weapon for self-defense will also help deepen her feelings for the Zhou family.

After obtaining his consent, Zhou Chun went to the treasury to take out the magic weapon and sent it directly to Jiufeng Ridge.

"Zhengchun, what are you doing..."

On the Pagoda Peak, when Lin Hongyu saw the khaki protective magic weapon that Zhou Chun took out in front of her, she was slightly stunned. She looked at him with surprise and suspicion, and was hesitant to speak.

Zhou Chun explained with a serious face: "This magic weapon is a relic of a Jindan-stage cultivator that the Grand Elder obtained after a life-and-death experience in Yang Country. It has been hidden deep in the Zhou family's treasury for many years and has not been shown to others easily."

"Originally, according to the intention of the Grand Elder, he wanted to wait until the younger generation or a cultivator from the Zhou family had formed a pill, and then refine this item as a protective treasure."

"Unfortunately, I am not doing my best and have not yet reached the threshold of forming a pill!"

"Now that you are about to go to the battlefield, you will inevitably fight with Jindan-stage demon cultivators. If you have an extra magic weapon, you will naturally be safer. That is why the Supreme Elder specially asked me to take this item out and lend it to you for temporary use!"

After hearing his explanation, the suspicion in Lin Hongyu's eyes gradually disappeared, and was replaced by a look of relief.

At this time, of course, she understood the meaning of Zhou Chun taking out this magic weapon, and she was very pleased with what she had done, and finally gained the heartfelt recognition of the Zhou family's top management.

From now on, the rift between the two sides because of her background will no longer exist.

After understanding this, she immediately smiled and said, "Okay, then I won't be polite with you. I'll take this magic weapon!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and took the magic weapon in Zhou Chun's hand, and began to refine it in front of Zhou Chun.

Because the owner of the magic weapon had passed away a long time ago, it was naturally very easy for Lin Hongyu to sacrifice this magic weapon at this time, and she quickly completed the initial sacrifice. After completing the initial sacrifice, the name and situation of the magic weapon were also under her control.

She nodded to Zhou Chun and said, "This magic weapon is called [Earth Vajra Shield]. It is a defensive magic weapon with earth attribute. After I refine it, no one will be able to defeat me in the early stage of Jindan!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun smiled and bowed to congratulate her, saying, "Then I wish my great aunt great power on the battlefield and great fame!"

After the two chatted a little more about Zhou Chun's competition for the "Seven Great Heavenly Spirits", Lin Hongyu went back to quickly cultivate the magic weapon [Wu Earth Vajra Shield].

Before leaving, Zhou Chun also had a warm moment with his Taoist partner Su Yuzhen.

After waiting at Jiufeng Ridge for five days, Zhou Chun finally received a messenger from Qinglian Temple, who said that Qingwei Zi urgently wanted him to go to Qinglian Temple to see him.

After learning about this, Zhou Chun knew that things should be settled.

This must be because the Moon Wheel Sect's Master Baiyue has already made an effort to release the news.

Sure enough, when Zhou Chun arrived at Qinglian Temple, as soon as he saw Qing Weizi, he found that his face was as heavy as water, and he no longer had the carefree and indifferent look he had in front of him in the past.

Without even waiting for him to bow, she stared at him and asked, "Little friend Zhou, what do you mean by this? You clearly said you were going back to discuss this with your elders, so why did you go to the Moon Religion? Does the Zhou family want to move the entire clan to the Moon Religion's territory?"

This is quite impolite, and even contains a threat.

This shows how angry Qing Weizi is right now.

But Zhou Chun was not flustered, he just answered respectfully: "Master, please understand, I am the son-in-law of the Su family, and the Su family's ancestors and Aunt Su are also my elders. This is a matter of life and death for me, so I naturally have to talk to my Taoist partner and these two elders. I just never thought that Master Baiyue would be so interested in me!"

This is of course sophistry!

How could Qing Weizi not figure out what was going on between Zhou Chun and Su Yuzhen's relationship as a Taoist couple?

But even though we know it, we really can't find any fault with what Zhou Chun said from a logical point of view.

The key point is that the Moon Wheel Sect is more powerful than the Qinglian Temple.

If Master Baiyue was not throwing a smokescreen but was really interested in Zhou Chun, Qinglian Temple would have no chance of competing.

And even moving the Zhou family to the Yuelun Sect's territory is not impossible.

So Qing Weizi really couldn't confront Zhou Chun at this time.

So he could only say to Zhou Chun in a veiled and implicit way: "The head of Baiyue Sect may be interested in you, my friend, but we three sects have already agreed that we will not interfere in the affairs of the other's immortal cultivation families. You, my friend, should understand this!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately responded obediently: "Yes, I naturally understand this."

Seeing his expression, Qing Weizi's face finally looked better. She nodded slightly and said, "Well, then, little friend Zhou, what have you considered? Have you decided to take me as your master and represent our sect in the competition for the title of 'Seven Heavenly Spirits'?"

"In reply to what Master said, after I told the elders about this matter, the elders of the family all thought that this matter was too risky and did not want me to take any risks!"

When Zhou Chun said this, he looked up at Qing Weizi, then immediately lowered his head and said, "Even after my persuasion, they all agreed that unless the senior temple master could allow me to escape from a Jindan-stage cultivator, they would not agree to my risking my life on the battlefield!"

Hearing his answer, Qing Weizi did not show any obvious anger, but looked at him calmly and said, "Is this your condition, my friend?"

"I dare not negotiate with you, Senior Master, and I know I am not qualified to negotiate with you, but this is the unanimous opinion of the elders of the family, and I can't go against it!"

Zhou Chun answered respectfully, looking as if he had no choice.

Zhou Chun is undoubtedly in this situation now, saying the most cowardly words and doing the most cruel things.

He had long felt Qinglian Temple's fear and hidden malice towards the Zhou family.

This cooperation with Qinglian Temple may be the last honeymoon period for both parties.

In this case, he naturally wants to maximize the benefits.

Even if it really offends Qing Weizi, I don't care!

Under the current state of war, even if Qing Weizi is very unhappy with his actions, she certainly would not dare to harm him or the Zhou family since she still needs him.

As for the settling of scores after the war.

Looking at the current war situation, it is still unknown when the war will end. By then, the Zhou family may not be a target that Qinglian Temple can easily wipe out.

At this moment, he seemed to feel Zhou Chun's firm will.

Qing Weizi stared at him for a long time before nodding and saying, "Very good, in that case, I will agree to your terms and temporarily lend you a fourth-order low-grade puppet bodyguard equivalent to that of an early Jindan cultivator!"

Hearing his words, Zhou Chun was immediately delighted and immediately took the opportunity to thank him: "Thank you, Senior Master. I will do my best to fight for Qinglian Temple and live up to your high expectations!"

Unexpectedly, after hearing what he said, Qing Weizi said calmly: "Don't be in a hurry to thank me. I can lend you this fourth-level low-grade puppet, but you must also make a vow to your inner demons. If you can't be listed among the 'Seven Great Spirits of Heaven', you will never succeed in forming a pill in this lifetime!"

"This……"

Zhou Chun hesitated immediately, feeling that Qing Weizi's request was a bit too much.

Although he has the strength to be among the "Seven Heroes of Heavenly Spirits", he joined the war late after all, and now his military achievements are only those gained from killing Jiang Zhong and others.

He did not dare to guarantee whether he could be among the "Seven Great Heroes of Heaven".

Seeing him hesitate, Qing Weizi couldn't help but sneer and said, "There is no free lunch in the world. Since you want all kinds of benefits and dare to put forward conditions to me, you must show courage and bear the consequences of failure!"

Zhou Chun frowned when he heard this, then he looked up at him and asked, "Master, are you sure that the title of 'Seven Heavenly Spirits' will not be cancelled in the next ten years?"

Qing Weizi didn't expect him to say that, and was slightly stunned after hearing it.

Then he said calmly: "So this is what you are worried about. Don't worry about this. If the Tianling Alliance cancels the title of 'Seven Heroes of Tianling' before the end of the war, it will not be considered that you have broken your oath!"

"Well, if that's the case, why wouldn't I dare to swear an oath?"

Zhou Chun looked determined, and immediately swore a vow in front of Qing Weizi.

Otherwise, both of them could become the head of the sect and the leader of the clan!

After Zhou Chun made the vow, Qing Weizi's attitude immediately changed.

Soon he looked at him calmly and said, "Since you, Zhengchun, have agreed to be my disciple, then let's hold the ceremony as soon as possible. How about three days later?"

"Disciple will naturally follow your arrangements, Master!"

Zhou Chun lowered his head and answered respectfully, what a filial son he was.

Seeing this, Qing Weizi nodded again and said, "Okay, then you can bring Fellow Daoist Lin to be present as a witness!"

"Yes, the disciple obeys."

Zhou Chun responded and returned to his family first.

In this way, three days passed quickly, and on the day of becoming a disciple, Lin Hongyu, as the elder of the Zhou family, rushed to Qinglian Temple to attend the ceremony of Zhou Chun becoming a disciple of Qing Weizi. There were also six Jindan-stage cultivators from Qinglian Temple and one Jindan-stage cultivator from Yuelun Sect witnessing the ceremony.

After the apprenticeship ceremony was completed, Qing Weizi bestowed a gift in public, a fourth-order low-grade mechanical puppet.

The fourth-order low-grade mechanical puppet is a very special existence. It is more precious than magic weapons and more practical than ordinary magic weapons. The key is that it does not necessarily require the cultivation of the Golden Core Stage to activate it.

The driving energy source of mechanical puppets of this level is not the magic power of cultivators, but the spirit crystal placed in the body. The combat is completely supported by the spiritual power in the spirit crystal.

Once the spiritual power in the spirit crystal is exhausted, the mechanical puppet will lose its ability to move. Qinglian Temple only equipped him with one spirit crystal, so if he uses the puppet to fight, he must control the time carefully.

Zhou Chun also has two ways to use this fourth-order low-grade mechanical puppet.

One is to set the automatic combat mode after planting the spiritual imprint, so that as long as the mechanical puppet is released and activated, it will automatically lock onto the enemy and fight.

The second is to use his spiritual consciousness to command the mechanical puppets to fight, which will consume a lot of his own spiritual consciousness, but it can realize his own combat intentions more smoothly.

Compared with the fourth-level zombies of the Corpse Demon Cult, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

After the apprenticeship ceremony was over, the other monks who were watching the ceremony dispersed, and Qing Weizi privately taught Zhou Chun some tips and experiences on how to use fourth-order puppets.

Then he looked at him and asked, "Since you, Zhengchun, have already planned to go to the battlefield, you can announce your killing of Jiang Zhong to the public. I wonder what kind of Jindan spiritual object you want to exchange for Jiang Zhong's head? And what do you want to exchange for the other three people's heads?"

Zhou Chun had been waiting for him to ask this.

After hearing this, he immediately answered without hesitation: "In reply to Master, I want to exchange for spiritual objects that can help me form the elixir, as well as spiritual objects that can help me open up the purple mansion!"

"Okay, I will try my best to get these two spiritual objects for you. Go back and prepare well!"

Qing Weizi looked at Zhou Chun deeply, nodded, and agreed readily.

Zhou Chun naturally thanked him again and again.

They are obviously master and disciple with their own ulterior motives, but on the surface they appear to be kind and filial. It has to be said that both of them are qualified actors.

After Zhou Chun left Qinglian Temple, he knew that time was running out, so he immediately began to make preparations with all his strength.

Well, I got the badge today, so I plan to write more!
