Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Chapter 564: Peacock of the Hell [Subscription Request]

It is said that plans are not as fast as changes.

Zhou Chun initially thought that Zhou Yuanlian might have been captured by a certain immortal cultivation family or a powerful lone cultivator.

No matter what the situation is, he and the Zhou family don't need to care about the person's background and can just use him to break the formation.

However, the person who captured Zhou Yuanlian happened to be a cultivator from the Yanyang Sect.

When Zhou Chun discovered this, it was too late for him to stop.

With Zhou Xinyan and the others exposed, if he didn't capture the late Purple Mansion cultivator of Yanyang Sect in time, not only would Zhou Yuanlian's safety be at risk, but he might also be blamed by others.

So he just thought about it for a few moments and immediately decided to capture the other party.

Although he chose the lesser of two evils, the harm was still real!

He knew very well that if today's matter was not handled properly, it would bring big trouble to the Zhou family.

Therefore, after entering the illusion array, Zhou Chun quickly called Zhou Xinyan and others outside in and asked them to look after the Yan Yang Sect disciples first and try not to let the top leaders of the Yan Yang Sect know that something had happened here.

Afterwards, Zhou Chun interrogated the captured late Purple Mansion cultivator from the Yan Yang Sect.

After he used his secret technique to seal the man's cultivation, he threw the ugly man with dark red pimples the size of soybeans on his face to the ground, and said coldly: "I'm sure you know who I am, and you also know why I came here today. If you don't want hundreds of years of cultivation to be wasted in one day, release the member of my Zhou family immediately!"

This ugly man is worthy of being a disciple from a big sect, or he knows in his heart that Zhou Chun will not easily take his life.

Therefore, even though his cultivation was sealed, he said calmly without panic: "I am naturally familiar with Senior Zhou's name. I have never hurt the little Taoist friend of your family, and I have never had the intention of hurting her. I just want to ask her for help to do something!"

Hearing what he said, Zhou Chun immediately sneered and said, "If you want her to help you, just hire her directly. I believe that as long as you give her the right reward, she will not refuse. At worst, you can go to my Zhou family in person and ask us elders to speak up for you. Why do you want to forcibly bring her back here and detain her? Do you think that you can ignore my Zhou family just because you are a disciple of Yanyang Sect?"

At the end of the conversation, he couldn't help but feel angry.

How could Zhou Chun not be angry?

If today's matter is not handled properly, it will be a big trouble for the Zhou family.

The root of all these troubles is undoubtedly the ugly man in front of him.

"I have absolutely no such intention! It's just that this involves my privacy and I don't want too many people to know about it!"

The ugly man shook his head repeatedly, not daring to admit it.

He was not stupid. If he admitted this, even if a Jindan-stage cultivator from the Yanyang Sect came forward, it would be difficult to save him.

After all, the Zhou family is now the fifth largest force in Jingguo, and even the Jindan stage cultivators of their Yanyang Sect do not dare to bully the Zhou family at will.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun snorted coldly, "Humph, I don't want to argue with you. Take me to release the person first. I will know the truth after asking the younger generations of the clan!"

Then he ordered the ugly man to lead the way.

At this point, the ugly man naturally could no longer hope for luck, knowing that if he did not cooperate, he would only suffer more in vain.

Therefore, he could only take Zhou Chun to a quiet and remote place in the mountains.

Not long after, Zhou Chun met Zhou Yuanlian in a quiet valley.

Judging from his complexion, the ugly man did not lie and did not abuse her. He just restricted her freedom.

But Zhou Chun still looked at this junior with a concerned look and asked, "Xiao Lian, are you okay? If this guy has abused you in any way, just tell me and I will definitely seek justice for you!"

"I'm fine, thank you for coming all the way to rescue me, Chief. I'm sorry for the trouble!"

Zhou Yuanlian shook her head slightly and responded to Zhou Chun's concern in a calm tone.

It is said that because she was brought back to the Zhou family by Zhou Chun, she was quite close to Zhou Chun.

But since she had been practicing "The Book of Ten Thousand Poisons" for a longer and longer time, her personality had become very cold. In addition, Zhou Chun often went into seclusion or went out, and was unable to meet with her and give her guidance as often as before, so the relationship between the two became much more distant.

Moreover, Zhou Chun also knew that since Zhou Yuanlian successfully established her foundation, she had left the family many times to search for and hunt down those demon cultivators who practiced magic. The number of demon cultivators, big and small, who died at her hands probably added up to hundreds!

Moreover, she was extremely ruthless. She would poison and kill even the eight or nine-year-old children who were led onto the path of magic cultivation without any knowledge without mercy.

Many Zhou family cultivators may not be able to do this.

Zhou Chun felt that she might be mentally abnormal, but it was not easy to say anything.

After all, she was mentally prepared for all this when she was asked to practice the "Ten Thousand Poisons Sutra".

As long as she can control herself, not attack the Zhou family cultivators, and not kill innocent people indiscriminately, that will be enough.

Therefore, Zhou Chun quickly put aside his distracting thoughts, looked at the junior in front of him with a serious face and asked: "This guy said before that he wanted you to come here to help him with something. What is it? How did he capture you?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yuanlian couldn't help but glance at the ugly man, and then whispered: "To answer the clan leader, I was captured by this man when I was collecting herbs and fighting monsters in the Fire Red Valley. As for the reason why he captured me, one is that he wanted me to help him dissolve the poison of the Flame Prison Peacock in his body, and the other is that he wanted me to help him lure out the Flame Prison Peacock and kill it!"

"To dispel the poison of the Peacock of Hellfire?"

Zhou Chun was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at the dark red pimples on the ugly man's face, showing a look of surprise.

He said that, with this ugly man's cultivation level of the late Purple Mansion, unless he had a perverted personality, he would not allow so many poisonous pimples to grow on his face.

In this situation, it is obvious that with his cultivation level and abilities, he is unable to completely eliminate the poison in himself, and can only seal it in this way.

But soon Zhou Chun seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but shook his head and said: "No, if he just wants you to help him detoxify and lure out the peacock from the Hell, he doesn't have to continue to detain you after knowing your true identity. You're not telling the truth!"

"I thought the same thing, so I just pretended to be a snake and didn't dare to really help him completely eliminate the toxins in his body!"

Zhou Yuanlian nodded, expressing her deep agreement with Zhou Chun's words.

The ugly man's expression changed drastically when he heard the conversation between the two.

After seeing his expression change for a while, he suddenly looked at Zhou Yuanlian and asked, "Are you telling the truth? Can you really dissolve the Flame Prison Peacock poison in Qin's body?"

"So what if it is? So what if it isn't? Do you still expect me to help you?"

Zhou Yuanlian looked at the ugly man with indifference, her tone full of sarcasm.

Zhou Chun also looked at the ugly man coldly. Although he didn't say anything, the coldness in his eyes was just as frightening.

Unexpectedly, the ugly man showed strong confidence at this time. He looked at Zhou Chun calmly and said, "How about I make a deal with you, Senior Zhou? As long as you let this Taoist friend help me get rid of the poison of the Infernal Peacock in my body, I will help you capture a fourth-level lower-grade Infernal Peacock as your spiritual pet!"

what?
Zhou Chun looked at the ugly big man in surprise, and was shocked by what he said.

After being shocked, Zhou Chun couldn't help but shouted in a deep voice: "Are you crazy? You can't even get rid of the Flame Prison Peacock poison in your body, how can you help me subdue a fourth-level Flame Prison Peacock? And if it really is a fourth-level Flame Prison Peacock poison, you would have turned into ashes long ago!"

But even though he said this, he felt vaguely in his heart that the ugly man might not be lying, but might be telling the truth.

Sure enough, facing his doubts, the ugly man said very calmly: "I am not exaggerating. Senior Zhou, please listen to me carefully and you will know the truth."

Then he told Zhou Chun and Zhou Yuanlian the whole story.

It turned out that the poison of the Hellfire Peacock in his body was contracted when he fought with a third-grade, top-quality Hellfire Peacock.

The monster Flame Prison Peacock lives near the crater of a volcano and has the ability to penetrate deep into volcanic magma. It also likes to eat centipedes, scorpions, poisonous snakes and other poisonous insects, snakes, ants and poisonous plants.

Over time, the Flame Hell Peacock's evil fire became extremely toxic, and even the blood of its minions contained special toxins.

Once injured by it, the body will be infected with the strange Flame Prison Peacock Poison, which contains hundreds of toxins and is very complex and difficult to decipher. The ugly man was deeply injured by the Flame Prison Peacock's evil fire during the fight with the Flame Prison Peacock and was infected with the Flame Prison Peacock Poison.

Fortunately, the technique he practiced was very effective in refining toxins, and he took the detoxification pill in time, which helped to eliminate some of the toxins and prevent him from dying from this strange poison.

However, as he was poisoned, he did not dare to continue fighting and could only hastily use the fourth-level magic talisman to escape.

After escaping back to the sect, the ugly man realized that because he delayed too long and was only focused on using his innate true fire to refine the toxin, he did not realize that the toxin had actually invaded his Dantian Qi Sea along the innate true fire!
As a result, the toxins took root in his body, and with his magic power and essence as tonics, the toxins recurred and grew again, becoming a stubborn disease that was difficult to eliminate!
Even if he asked for help from the Jindan stage cultivators of Yanyang Sect, no one could completely cure his stubborn disease.

In the end, we can only use secret methods to gather the toxins growing in the body to various parts of the body surface to form poisonous pox, and then pop the poisonous pox every few days to release the poison.

Although this saved his life, it also caused him to suffer untold pain, and it was almost impossible for him to form a pill!

This situation was naturally unbearable for him.

Therefore, in the following days, he began to look for ancient books and materials everywhere to study the information of the monster beast called the Flame Prison Peacock.

This allowed him to discover a way to detoxify.

The method is actually simple. You just need to kill the Flame Prison Peacock and drink its bile to detoxify.

However, when he asked a Jindan-stage elder for help and went to slay the demon, he ultimately failed and the Flame Prison Peacock escaped into the volcanic magma!
However, as the old saying goes, misfortune may turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

During that battle, the ugly man discovered that the Fire Phoenix bloodline contained in the Flame Prison Peacock was very impressive. It was very likely that when he broke through the fourth level, he would be able to condense the Fire Phoenix True Feathers and awaken the Fire Phoenix heritage!
And he happened to have read in an ancient book that if the Flame Prison Peacock could break through the fourth level and condense the Fire Phoenix True Feathers, it would most likely undergo a Fire Phoenix Nirvana and reshape its bloodline!
At the time of Nirvana, all memories of the Flame Hell Peacock's past will be erased by itself, and the demon soul will be reshaped along with its flesh and blood.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, as long as you have the ability to get close to the Hell Peacock when it enters Nirvana and withstand the fire of Nirvana burning on its body, you will have a chance to forcibly contract it!
Such a successful example was once recorded in the ancient books that the ugly man had read.

So he was attracted at that time!

He quickly made preparations for two scenarios. One was to continue looking for opportunities to kill the Flame Prison Peacock and extract its bile to detoxify himself.

If this task really cannot be accomplished, he will help the Flame Prison Peacock break through the fourth level, and then look for an opportunity to fight to the death!
If he succeeds, he will be able to obtain an extremely powerful fourth-order Flame Prison Peacock spirit pet. If he fails, the worst that can happen is death!
However, the ugly man had invited his friends to kill the Flame Prison Peacock several times before, but they failed every time and even caused the death of a fellow disciple.

Moreover, after being attacked by him several times, the Flame Prison Peacock no longer easily left the vicinity of the crater, making it difficult for him to deal with it again.

But it seemed that fate was not going to end this person, for when he went to the Huochi Valley to capture some fire-attributed poisonous insects that the Yanyu Peacock loved to eat, he happened to meet Zhou Yuanlian who was practicing pure poison skills.

What happens next is simple.

The ugly man hoped that Zhou Yuanlian could help him eliminate the poison of the Flame Prison Peacock in his body, and at the same time he wanted to use Zhou Yuanlian to help him collect various poisonous insects, snakes and ants to help the Flame Prison Peacock break through the fourth level.

Now seeing Zhou Chun coming to his door and himself being imprisoned, and knowing that Zhou Yuanlian can help him cure the Flame Prison Peacock Poison in his body, the ugly man knows that Zhou Chun will not let him go if he does not offer any benefits, and the sect may not be willing to stand up for him who has become an abandoned person.

So he wanted to use the opportunity to subdue the Flame Prison Peacock in exchange for his own safety.

He knew in his heart that Zhou Chun, who was famous in Jingguo and neighboring countries for his beast taming skills, was basically unlikely to refuse this temptation!
I have to say, he was really good at judging people this time!
After listening to his story, Zhou Chun was indeed moved.

Zhou Chun has always wanted to have a fire-attributed demon beast pet and a pure flying demon beast pet.

At the exchange meeting held by Huang Yun Zhenren, a Yuanying stage cultivator in the Great Zhou Kingdom, Zhou Chun was upset because he missed the egg of the high-level monster "Phoenix Tail Flame Bird".

Now that he heard that he had the opportunity to contract a fourth-level Flame Hell Peacock that also had the blood of the Fire Phoenix and could condense the True Feathers of the Fire Phoenix, how could he not be tempted!
If this could be accomplished, he would have gathered together the two major dragon and phoenix species' spiritual pets, the Fire Phoenix and the Thunder Dragon, both of which were fourth-level monsters.

This is too tempting for him who has some special feelings.

Although she was moved, Zhou Chun would not immediately believe what others said.

He immediately stared at the ugly man and said, "Where is the ancient book you mentioned? I have to see it with my own eyes before I can believe your words."

Then he added: "And how can you help that Flame Hell Peacock break through the fourth level? Do you know how difficult it is for a monster to break through the fourth level!"

Hearing this, the ugly man immediately replied: "The ancient book is in my storage bag. Senior Zhou only needs to unlock some seals for me, and I can take it out for you to see!"

After that, he continued, "As for how to help the Flame Prison Peacock break through, I won't hide this from you, Senior. I know that in a courtyard of the Ma family, a large clan in Yanzhou, there is a plant of Phoenix Eye Fire Grass that is over 3,000 years old. Although this spiritual herb is a thousand-year-old precious medicine, because it grows near a volcano, it has accumulated a lot of fire poison. Even the master of the alchemy way dare not say that he can make an elixir with this medicine!"

“So whether it’s me, the younger generation, who comes forward to exchange it, or you, Senior Zhou, who comes forward in person, as long as the price is right, the Ma family will probably give it some face!”

He said this with confidence, "The Hellfire Peacock has already accumulated enough energy, but it just hasn't found the opportunity to break through. If we can give it this [Phoenix Eye Fire Grass] that is very suitable for it, it will definitely have a 60% to 70% chance of successfully breaking through!"

A 60 to 70 percent chance of success is already very high.

At that time, even though Zhou Chun had many spiritual objects for forming a pill, such as the [Five Elements Spiritual Fruit], his success rate for forming a pill was not so high.

However, this is only the judgment of an ugly man and a late-stage cultivator of the Zifu. The actual situation is estimated to be greatly discounted by Zhou Chun.

However, if the person is not exaggerating, and the Fire Phoenix bloodline in the Flame Prison Peacock is really as pure as he said, with the help of the [Phoenix Eye Fire Cloud Grass] which is more than three thousand years old, there is indeed a very high chance that it will successfully break through to the fourth level.

"Let me take a look at the ancient book you mentioned first."

As Zhou Chun spoke, he slightly untied the seal in the ugly man's body, allowing him to use some of his magic power and spiritual awareness.

The ugly man naturally didn't dare to play any tricks in front of him, and soon took out an ancient animal skin book and handed it to him.

This ancient animal skin book looks really old. It even has traces of being burned by insects and fire, and some pages are missing content.

But fortunately, the part about the Peacock of the Hell of Fire was not missing.

The ancient books recorded the legendary life stories of many Jindan-stage cultivators. The chapter about the Flame Prison Peacock was about a Jindan-stage cultivator who was about to pass away in his later years. He revealed to his disciples and descendants the story of how he had subdued the Flame Prison Peacock, and the story then spread in a certain place.

According to the records in this ancient book, as long as the ugly man did not lie about the purity of the Flame Prison Peacock's bloodline, what he said about directly taming a fourth-order Flame Prison Peacock is indeed possible!

After reading this ancient book, Zhou Chun was completely moved.

After thinking for a while, he looked at the ugly man and said, "I have another question. You also said that the Flame Prison Peacock can go deep into the volcanic magma. What if it swallows the [Phoenix Eye Fire Grass] and goes deep into the magma to sleep and evolve? I don't have the ability to go deep into the magma to find it!"

Hearing what he said, the ugly man looked at him strangely and said, "Senior Zhou, don't you know? Unless it is a real pure-blooded fire phoenix, or some fourth-level monster with special blood, most of the monsters that can travel through the volcanic magma can only travel through it, and cannot live completely in the magma!"

"Moreover, the volcanic magma is extremely dangerous. Not only may there be powerful fire spirits and monsters, but there may also be magma eruptions at any time. If the Peacock of the Hell of Fire does not want his nirvana evolution process to be interrupted or even die in it, he will definitely not dare to break through and evolve in it!"

Didn’t you say that the Fire Phoenix bloodline in that Hell Peacock was very strong?

Zhou Chun glanced at the ugly man with an unhappy expression and decided not to bother with him.

He then turned to look at Zhou Yuanlian and asked, "Xiao Lian, are you sure you can remove the toxins from his body?"

Hearing this, the ugly man suddenly became nervous and looked at Zhou Yuanlian with anticipation.

Seeing this, Zhou Yuanlian immediately replied: "I may not be completely sure at the moment, but if I use the toxins in his body to cultivate to the late stage of foundation building and successfully refine the [Hundred Poisons Orb] magic weapon, I should be able to do it with certainty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a look of ecstasy on the face of the ugly man. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he would probably laugh wildly.

Over the years, he has indeed been tortured by the Flame Prison Peacock Poison in his body. If he can get rid of the toxin and restore his health, he is willing to bear any price!
Anyway, he didn't have much confidence in taming a fourth-level Flame Prison Peacock.

If he had not met Zhou Yuanlian, he might have risked finding a Jindan-stage cultivator from his own sect to give it a try out of desperation!
After Zhou Chun received Zhou Yuanlian's affirmative answer, he turned to look at the ugly man with satisfaction and said, "You also heard what Xiaolian said. If you are willing to fully cooperate with me to subdue the Peacock of the Hell of Fire, I will not pursue the matter of you capturing and detaining her. I will also let her help you to cure your stubborn illness and restore your health!"

"No problem, as long as we can get rid of the stubborn disease, I will definitely cooperate with Senior Zhou unconditionally!"

The ugly man immediately agreed and even took the initiative to say, "In order to express my apology to Daoist Xiaolian, I am willing to bear all the expenses for her breakthrough to the late stage of foundation building and give her a third-level lower-grade magic weapon as a gift!"

Seeing that he was so sensible, Zhou Chun felt relieved.

After a brief pause, he looked at the man and said, "Then it's settled. You will take care of what happened here today, and you will get the [Phoenix Eye Fire Grass] in exchange. When you have prepared the things, come and find me to find the Flame Prison Peacock together!"
