Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Chapter 46 The Troubles of Happiness

It's another sunny morning.

On Baozhi Peak, after Zhou Chun returned to his residence from practicing on the top of the mountain, the silver electric thunder python hiding under the bed quickly crawled out and crawled straight towards him.

At this time, the silver electric thunder python was already half a meter long and as thick as a baby's arm.

And after several moltings, its white snake skin has gradually become a little silver, making it look more elegant and beautiful.

Zhou Chun couldn't keep such a long silver electric python wrapped around his body and carried it around all the time, so when he went out, he usually let it stay at home.

"Little Baibai has grown up again, that's great."

Zhou Chun stretched out his arm and let the white snake on the ground slowly wrap around it. Then he gently touched its cold snake head with his right hand and massaged it a few times.

Hiss~
The white snake gently spit out its tongue, enjoying the gentle touch with great pleasure.

It was just over a month old and had no intelligence at all, only the blood and instincts of a wild beast.

But Zhou Chun was not in a hurry. Now that its intelligence was low, it was the best time to cultivate feelings.

Once the feelings are cultivated from childhood, it will be easier to control them when you grow up.

Why do many monks who practice the art of taming beasts prefer to choose contracts with young monsters?

In addition to the fact that young monsters are easier to contract with, it is also easier to cultivate a master-servant relationship.

Otherwise, if you directly contract an adult monster, even if you succeed, you will always have to worry about whether the monster will retaliate against you when you are weak. You will also have to expend your spiritual energy to suppress the monster's will to resist when you are controlling it in battle.

After spending some time with Xiao Baibai and feeding it some chopped fire rat jerky, Zhou Chun put it back under the bed as it wanted to rest after eating, and went to the quiet room to practice his secret technique.

Unexpectedly, just after he practiced the secret technique twice, clan leader Zhou Daoyi came to his residence in person.

"Zhengchun, have you rested enough? If you have, come with me for a walk!"

Outside the yard, Zhou Daoyi smiled at Zhou Chun, who was surprised when he opened the door and saw him from behind, and directly told him the purpose of his visit.

When Zhou Chun heard this, he immediately knew why he came, and immediately responded respectfully: "Yes, junior obeys your command."

Then he left the Zhou family with Zhou Daoyi.

When they got outside, Zhou Daoyi did not release the Sky Blue Cloud Python to carry Zhou Chun on his journey. Instead, he summoned a flying boat and carried Zhou Chun to the Qingming and above the clouds.

Flying in this way, it only took them an hour to reach the sky above the red pine forest.

"This is it. Judging from the traces everywhere, no one has ever been here."

In the forest, Zhou Chun pointed at the cave entrance he had concealed and whispered.

"Then let's go, you and I go in together."

Zhou Daoyi nodded, and then he patted the spirit beast bag on his waist, released the Sky Blue Cloud Python to guard outside, and then strode into the cave.

In this way, the two of them entered the cave and came to the place where Zhou Chun had dug out the red iron ore. Zhou Daoyi first released his spiritual sense to detect it, and then he took out a bronze flying sword magic weapon and started digging around.

This was the first time Zhou Chun saw a Foundation Establishment cultivator take action, and the result shocked him greatly.

I saw that the bronze flying sword, under Zhou Daoyi's control, was moving around in the cave like a nimble dragon.

Wherever the sword passed, the stone wall was torn and shattered as easily as tofu, and there were cracks everywhere, like the ground turned over by an iron plow.

In less than half a minute, Zhou Daoyi's flying sword plowed dozens of deep and long cracks in a cave that was a hundred feet long.

And through those cracks, even Zhou Chun could use his spiritual sense to discover the red iron ore mixed in them.

If he could discover it, how could Zhou Daoyi not discover it?

Therefore, Zhou Daoyi was soon heard mumbling to himself: "It seems that there is indeed a Chiyao iron ore vein here!!"

But Zhou Chun didn't hear much happiness in his words.

At that moment, he was also possessed by some unknown spirit, and suddenly he mustered up the courage to ask: "Patriarch, you don't seem very happy?"

"Oh, why do you ask?"

Zhou Daoyi's expression changed and he looked at him with slight surprise.

Zhou Chun was embarrassed for a moment, and couldn't help but open his mouth and said, "Well, I just feel that you, the clan leader, don't look very happy."

Unexpectedly, after hearing what he said, Zhou Daoyi nodded and said, "You are right in feeling, but I am not particularly happy!"

Zhou Chun was even more confused now, and couldn't help asking, "Why? Although I don't understand the art of refining tools, I know that red iron is a spiritual material for refining magic tools. Even if it's not as rare as refined gold, steel silver and other spiritual materials, the value of a vein must be huge!" "Yes, a vein, even if it's just a small vein, after it is fully mined, if calculated in spirit coins, there will be at least 200,000 spirit coins!"

"Even if we remove all the losses in the process, the net income will not be less than 150,000 spirit coins!"

Zhou Daoyi sighed softly and nodded, stating the huge value of this mineral vein.

Without waiting for Zhou Chun to ask again, he smiled bitterly and waved his hand, saying, "But such a large amount of spiritual coins is not something that the Zhou family can afford now!"

"As the saying goes, a man is innocent until he is found guilty of possessing a treasure. With the current strength of the Zhou family, if they want to take over this mine, the final result will be that they will be destroyed by the combined forces of other forces!"

"To the local forces in Lanzhou, our Zhou family is an outsider after all. They will never allow such a valuable mineral vein to fall into our Zhou family's hands!"

Now Zhou Chun understood and fell silent.

This is how things are in the world. There is no such thing as fairness.

Even in the world of his previous life, there was no rule that whoever discovered the mineral vein would own it.

Not to mention this world of cultivating immortals where strength is respected.

If the Zhou family were not an outsider, and if they had close ties with various local forces, relying on the deterrence of the family's Purple Mansion Stage cultivators, there might be a small chance that they could swallow up this mineral vein.

But the Zhou family is now an outsider. How can the local forces in Lanzhou sit idly by and watch such huge benefits being taken away by the Zhou family!
And now that the Zhou family has finally taken root and gradually gained the support of some local forces in Lanzhou, how could under such circumstances they give various forces an excuse to unite and destroy the Zhou family!

But if this vein cannot be mined, how much reward can Zhou Chun and his team get for discovering this vein?
Therefore, all kinds of thoughts flashed through Zhou Chun's mind at this moment, and he began to think of ways to benefit himself.

After thinking about it, he looked at Zhou Daoyi and said, "Can we jointly mine with other forces? Didn't our Zhou family just hold a martial arts competition with the Wang family, the Sun family, the Mu family, and the He family? If we join forces with them to mine, and form an alliance to fight against foreign enemies, it should be enough to protect this vein!"

"It's good that you can think of this."

Zhou Daoyi glanced at him, then nodded slightly and said, "Yes, for now, this is the only way to do it. But whether it will succeed depends on whether the other companies are willing to do it!"

So after collecting some red-yellow iron ore as evidence, Zhou Daoyi completely filled up and blocked the entrance to the cave, and then took Zhou Chun back to the Zhou family.

However, since how the mineral vein should be mined has not yet been decided, the rewards for Zhou Chun and Zhou Zhengyong cannot be determined for the time being.

In the next three months, clan leader Zhou Daoyi and even supreme elder Zhou Mingde left the family many times to travel around for mineral mining.

After preparing a generous betrothal gift, Zhou Zhengyong followed his twenty-seventh uncle Zhou Jiapeng to the Sun family in Jinfengling to propose marriage and successfully brought Sun Yujiao back to the Zhou family.

As the matchmaker who facilitated the couple's marriage, Zhou Chun was sincerely thanked by the young couple and sat at the head seat at the wedding ceremony.

More than three months later, Zhou Chun was only two acupoints away from breaking through to the ninth level of Qi Refining Stage.

At this time, the Silver Lightning Thunder Python also successfully awakened its innate magic and became a first-class low-grade monster.

At this time, the Silver Electric Thunder Python had reached a length of twelve feet, with its snake scales beginning to take shape, making it difficult to be harmed by swords and knives.

In order to train its abilities, Zhou Chun no longer actively fed it. Instead, he would take it to a place at the foot of the mountain where there were many wild animals and birds, and let it hunt on its own.

Sometimes it is even forbidden to use magic to hunt.

One day, Zhou Chun was watching the Silver Electric Thunder Python hunting at the foot of Baozhi Peak. Suddenly, the big blue parrot "Lanlan" of the clan leader Zhou Daoyi flew over Baozhi Peak and came in front of him.

"Brother Chun, the clan leader wants you to go to Pagoda Peak."

The big parrot "Lanlan" flapped its wings and circled above Zhou Chun's head, loudly conveying the orders of the clan leader Zhou Daoyi.

But his eyes were nervously staring at the white line in the grass in the distance.

It was high above and could naturally see that there was a giant python hiding there.

"Got it, Lanlan, go back and report to the clan leader. I'll be there right away."

Zhou Chun smiled and took out a fresh wild fruit that he had not eaten yet from his pocket and threw it to the big blue parrot as a reward.

Upon seeing this, the big blue parrot immediately swooped down and accurately grabbed the wild fruit in mid-air, then called to Zhou Chun: "Thank you, Chun brother. Goodbye, Chun brother."

After saying that, he grabbed the wild fruits and left.

As he watched the big blue parrot leave, Zhou Chun couldn't help but ponder.

What could it be that the clan leader specifically summoned him to Pagoda Peak this time?
Is there any result in the development of Chiyao iron ore vein?

Or is it because of something else?
