Chapter 566 Peacock Nirvana [Subscribe]

[Jade Dew and Golden Cloud Pill] is a powerful medicine taken by Jindan-stage cultivators. The medicinal power of this medicine is extremely strong, and even Jindan-stage cultivators cannot refine it in two or three days.

Therefore, before taking the medicine, Zhou Chun gave special instructions to his apprentice Zhou Zhiying.

After explaining everything, Zhou Chun took out a jade bottle containing elixirs, poured out the elixirs and swallowed them in one gulp.

As soon as the pill entered the mouth, it instantly turned into a sweet liquid that flowed down the throat, as cool as the morning dew.

Then, the rich medicinal power was continuously transformed into Zhou Chun's own magical power under his practice and refining.

Every time Zhou Chun refined a bit of this pure and rich medicinal power, the effect was comparable to several days of meditation.

The long-lost pleasure of his cultivation level soaring surged in his heart again, and he felt so happy.

Time passed slowly and two months went by in a flash.

On this day, after sixty-seven days of seclusion, Zhou Chun finally refined the medicinal power of a [Jade Dew and Golden Cloud Pill] and came out of seclusion successfully.

The effect of taking the medicine this time also made him feel extremely satisfied.

The effect of just one elixir is equivalent to his more than ten years of hard training!
It was worth it that he spent a lot of energy and money to collect materials and refine the pills.

According to this calculation, if he takes the remaining four elixirs and achieves 90% of the effect of the first elixir as a whole, he will have a real chance to touch the middle stage of the golden elixir barrier.

“If I hadn’t been stuck in the realm barrier for too long, I might have entered the middle stage of the Golden Core a little later than Fellow Daoist Luo, and would have been on the same starting line with her again!”

When he thought of this, Zhou Chun couldn't help but reveal a smug smile on his face.

However, after your cultivation and magic power have skyrocketed in a short period of time, it is not suitable to continue taking the medicine.

Zhou Chun plans to spend a year to hone and adapt to the surging magic power in his body, and then continue taking the medicine after he has fully adapted.

At this time, Zhou Zhiying had already reached the late stage of Qi training. Her mother Zhou Yuanyuan had also successfully opened up the Purple Palace by taking the "Purple Dust Pill" some time ago and was promoted to become an elder of the Zhou family.

But the bad news is that Zhou Daoquan, a meritorious old minister of the Zhou family, has not much time left.

Zhou Daoquan was the oldest person in the Zhou family except for Zhou Mingde. He had suffered serious injuries many times in his early years, which had affected his lifespan. It was impossible for him to live to the lifespan limit of a Purple Mansion Stage cultivator.

In recent years, his body has aged noticeably faster and he is already at the end of his life.

Zhou Chun also felt very regretful and uncomfortable about this. After all, this elder had always loved him very much in the past. If it weren't for this elder, he would never have been able to obtain a spiritual pet like Lei Jiao Baibai.

Therefore, he was specially recalled to Tuyunling for retirement, hoping to accompany the old man more in the remaining time, so that he can complete the last journey of his life without regrets.

At the same time, Zhou Chun was also thinking that it was time to release the news that Zhou Daoyi had died while traveling.

In recent years, there have been many talented people among the younger generations of the Zhou family, and Purple Mansion Stage cultivators have emerged one after another, which is indeed quite eye-catching.

If the news that Zhou Daoyi had died while traveling was released at this time, and if the news that Zhou Daoquan was very old and did not have much time left was also released, it would probably offset a lot of the attention he received.

However, this matter still requires someone to act out a play, and it has to be performed more realistically.

Half a year later, a loud bang suddenly occurred in the Zhou family ancestral temple, and the soul tablet of Zhou Daoyi that was left in the family ancestral temple suddenly exploded into countless pieces.

This incident immediately alarmed an elderly monk who was in charge of looking after these natal soul tablets, and he passed the news to Zhou Xinyi, Zhou Mingde and others in great panic and grief.

Soon after, Zhou Mingde, Zhou Chun, Zhou Daoquan and other senior members of the Zhou family came to the ancestral temple one after another to check the situation. Soon after, the heartbroken roars of Zhou Chun and Zhou Mingde could be heard throughout half of the Tuyunling Mountain Gate.

Soon, the news that Zhou Daoyi, the previous patriarch of the Zhou family, had died abroad spread rapidly throughout Lingzhou, and then spread to the surrounding states.

After learning about this, families like the Jiangzhou Su family, who had good relations with the Zhou family, wrote letters to express their condolences and said that if necessary, they would do their best to help find the murderer.

However, some forces that harbored ill will towards the Zhou family, or were jealous of its rapid development over the years, were extremely happy about this matter and celebrated it.

There was grief within the Zhou family.

Zhou Daoyi is a fair and tolerant person, an elder who is highly respected by the clan members. When he was in the family before, he often guided the younger generations in their practice, and occasionally gave the talismans he made to some younger generations he liked, so he has a very good relationship with people.

Now, shocked by the tragic news, those Zhou family cultivators who had received his kindness and were unaware of the truth, including some core clansmen and elders, were extremely saddened and requested the family to track down the murderer and avenge this elder who had fallen outside!

Zhou Chun and Zhou Mingde naturally agreed to this and took the opportunity to observe these juniors to see which ones were expressing their true feelings and which ones were just pretending to be sad to follow the crowd.

They will not punish those tribesmen who pretend to be sad, but in the same circumstances in the future, they will definitely take better care of those who express their true feelings.

After all, no one wants the descendants who have done them a favor to not feel any gratitude towards them.

Zhou Chun can show favors without expecting anything in return, but he will never show favors to those who have no gratitude in vain!
Another half a month passed, and Lin Hongyu returned to the Zhou family with an urn with a sad face, and also explained the "cause of death" of Zhou Daoyi.

It turned out that Zhou Daoyi was not killed by anyone, but he encountered an opportunity to form a golden elixir outside and forcibly tried to form a golden elixir, which led to his death.

After learning about this, the atmosphere of grief within the Zhou family was immediately greatly alleviated. Most people felt sorry for Zhou Daoyi and no longer felt sad.

After all, for the immortal cultivation story, dying while making a breakthrough to a great realm is a way of death that is only slightly worse than dying from old age. It can be said to be a happy death!
Some strong-willed cultivators would rather die in the breakthrough process than wait for death.

Zhou Daoyi died while trying to break through a great realm, which means that he was once very close to the Golden Core stage. In a sense, it was worth it!

The family then held a grand funeral for Zhou Daoyi and buried his ashes in the family tomb.

After this incident, Zhou Chun, Lin Hongyu and other high-ranking family members lived in seclusion and rarely appeared in public, for fear that people would read their mood changes.

After more than a year had passed, few people were talking about Zhou Daoyi's death, and those who had suffered grief had all returned to normal life. Only then did Zhou Chun reappear in public.

At this time, Zhou Chun had already refined the second [Jade Dew Golden Cloud Pill], and his magic power had further increased. In order to avoid others noticing that his cultivation had increased abnormally, he also tried his best to avoid meeting other Jindan stage cultivators.

Until this day, when Qin Yang suddenly visited the Zhou family, Zhou Chun made an exception and left the family and went to Jinzhou again with him.

"Senior Zhou, please look, this is the place. I have spent more than a year searching the surrounding area for thousands of miles. Finally, my hard work paid off and I successfully found the Flame Prison Peacock in this deserted cave!"

On a hilltop covered with lush green bushes, Xu Yang brought Zhou Chun to the place, and then he pointed to a cave on the mountain and vividly described his discovery.

Zhou Chun looked around. The mountaintop under his feet and the landform below were indeed typical volcanic rock landforms formed after a volcanic eruption. There were no tall trees, but it was covered with various shrubs and weeds.

Judging from the looks of it, the last eruption here must have been at least several hundred years ago.

The fact that Xu Yang was able to find this place and even did not let go of a place like this shows that he was indeed forced into a desperate situation.

The fact that the Fire Hell Peacock built its hidden nest in such a place also shows how cautious it is.

After taking a look around, Zhou Chun also praised his contribution, "This place is so remote and inconspicuous, but you still didn't let it go. You really put in a lot of effort."

As he spoke, he restrained his breath and walked down along the cave with Xu Yang.

This cave was opened by Xu Yang in order to find the Flame Prison Peacock, but it had actually been blocked for a long time.

Zhou Chun and he walked down the underground cave for dozens of feet before they entered a natural cave formed by a volcanic eruption.

The two walked some distance in this natural cave and the temperature ahead became higher and higher, which showed that they were getting closer and closer to the magma.

After continuing forward for half a quarter of an hour, a faint red light appeared in the originally dark cave.

Walking further, Zhou Chun soon saw an astonishing scene.

In the wide cave hall, there was a circular bird's nest built with various fire-attribute materials such as fire jade, flaming iron, purple fire copper, flaming crystal stone, and hundred-year-old flaming jade!

Below the bird's nest is a magma fire pool with a diameter of three meters. From time to time, magma bubbles explode and burn flames in the air.

Inside the bird's nest there is a huge fiery red light.

The fiery red glowing object looks like a giant fiery red egg standing upright from a distance, but when you look closely you can see that it is actually a fiery red peacock lying in a bird's nest with its wings covering its head.

The fiery red glow is actually formed by the red flame burning on its body.

This is the Peacock of the Hell of Fire!
At this time, the Peacock of Hell was in a state of nirvana in the fire.

This state is extremely special. When it is in the state of Nirvana, the aura on its body is completely restrained. It is impossible to judge whether it is a third-level monster or a fourth-level monster based on its aura alone.

At the same time, because it was in a state of nirvana, the Flame Prison Peacock had almost no perception of the outside world at this moment. Even though Zhou Chun and Xu Yang were dozens of feet away from it, it did not react at all.

It was precisely because he knew this that Qin Yang dared to bring Zhou Chun here directly.

After looking at the Flame Prison Peacock for a while, Zhou Chun turned to look at Qin Yang beside him and asked, "Fellow Daoist Qin, do you know how long it will take for this Nirvana state to last?"

Hearing this question, Qin Yang immediately showed an embarrassment, and hesitated for a long time before answering in a low voice: "I am not sure about this, but I estimate that it should be over within three to five years!"

"Three to five years? That's pretty much what Zhou thought."

Zhou Chun nodded slightly, expressing his agreement.

As a cultivator with two fourth-level spiritual pets, Zhou Chun also has a say in the monster's breakthrough to the fourth level.

The Flame Prison Peacock was originally a third-rank superior monster that had accumulated a lot of energy and was only a little bit away from a breakthrough. After swallowing the [Phoenix Eye Fire Cloud Grass], the little bit of energy it was missing was made up, and it could immediately begin to evolve and break through.

Generally speaking, in most cases, this kind of evolutionary breakthrough process can produce results within three to five years. The situation like Lei Jiao Baibai's successful breakthrough in more than two years is an exception.

The current nirvana state of the Flame Prison Peacock is actually burning its own blood, flesh and essence, and it is impossible for it to burn for a long time.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chun looked at Qin Yang again and asked, "Fellow Daoist Qin, do you have any suggestions on the timing and method of contracting this Flame Prison Peacock?"

Hearing his words, Qin Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, saying: "Senior Zhou, you are the expert in this. How dare I show off my knowledge in this area in front of you!"

Zhou Chun frowned, but didn't dare to force him any further.

Zhou Chun himself also read the ancient book. It only recorded that one could take advantage of the special state of the Peacock of Hell after its nirvana evolution to sign a contract with it and recognize it as the master.

There was no mention of the specific time at which the contract should be signed or what secret contract technique should be used.

So it is normal that Qin Yang doesn’t know the details.

But this would test Zhou Chun's luck, vision and strength.

He may only have one chance, and if he fails, he may never have another chance.

"Zhou needs to think about this matter again and again before doing it."

As he spoke, he immediately sat down and carefully observed the condition of the Flame Prison Peacock.

Seeing this, Qin Yang could only stay by his side and wait for him to make a decision.

After nearly two months of day-to-day observation, Zhou Chun gradually came up with an idea of ​​how to contract the Flame Prison Peacock by observing the changes in its state.

According to Zhou Chun, the Flame Prison Peacock is still in the process of transformation of its physical body and bloodline. Its demon soul has not yet truly transformed, and its memories still exist, but its consciousness has fallen into a dormant state.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to make a contract with the other party at this time.

If one really wants to contract the Peacock of the Inferno, one has to wait until the other party has completely achieved nirvana and is truly reborn from the fire before taking action.

The specific timing of taking action may have to be determined only after the opportunity arises.

And if you want to make such a contract with the other party, I'm afraid you can't use ordinary contract methods.

It just so happened that when Yu Jinghua was killed, a secret contract technique of the Yuling Sect was obtained from his storage bag, which was suitable for contracting this kind of adult monster.

Zhou Chun can now take this opportunity to comprehend and practice for future use.

After he came up with an idea, he quickly said to Qin Yang: "I will go back to my family to comprehend and practice a secret technique. It will take about a year or two. I will trouble Fellow Daoist Qin to help look after me here. If there is any abnormal situation, you can immediately activate this talisman to notify me!"

After saying that, he gave the other party a "Mother and Child Connecting Heart Talisman" that could sense each other.

This "Mother and Child Linking Talisman" is a top-grade third-order talisman, a unique talisman of a major sect in the Great Zhou Kingdom. A set is divided into two talismans, a mother and a child. After activating the child talisman, anyone holding the mother talisman within ten thousand miles will feel it, and it will not be blocked by many forbidden formations.

Zhou Chun only had three sets of these talismans, which he had previously asked the shopkeeper Sun at Tianbao Pavilion to buy for him at a high price.

Qin Yang didn't feel dissatisfied with Zhou Chun's arrangement.

He now has no other way to go. The only thing he can do now is to follow Zhou Chun to the end and satisfy Zhou Chun. Only then will he have a chance to cure the stubborn disease in his body and have the possibility of making further progress.

Therefore, he quickly took the talisman and patiently waited and guarded in the underground cave.

After Zhou Chun returned to the family, he briefly told Zhou Mingde about what he was busy with and asked him to help guide and discipline his apprentice Zhou Zhiying. Then he concentrated on practicing the secret contract technique of the Yuling Sect.

The Yuling Sect's secret contract technique is called "Tianluo Mother and Child Heart Curse", which is a curse technique. In fact, it can not only be used to contract monsters, but even human cultivators can use this secret technique to control them by contract.

But the problem is, once this spell is successfully cast, the mother and child will lock onto each other, and if one of them dies, the other will also be mentally traumatized, and the consequences will be comparable to the destruction of one's own magic weapon!

If this happens in a life-or-death battle, the owner may very likely die because of the death of his pet.

Therefore, basically no one would use this secret technique to control human monks, to avoid being attacked by the other party at a critical moment!
But it is different for monsters. They are usually unwilling to accept the contract. Once they accept the contract, their will to resist is not as strong as that of human cultivators. Unless they are constantly suffering from inhuman abuse, it is basically impossible for them to deliberately commit suicide to harm their masters.

Similarly, because this "Tianluo Mother and Child Heart Curse" also has a certain binding force on the owner who is the "mother body", when it is used to contract those adult monsters, it will be easier for them to accept it.

Although that ancient book said that after the Peacock of the Hell of Hell evolved through Nirvana, its memory would be erased, making it seem like a new life.

But Zhou Chun knew that even if this situation really happened, the powerful instincts of the fourth-level monster would produce a strong resistance to those who tried to enslave it. It would be impossible to make a contract with the other party as easily as making a contract with a spirit beast egg.

In that situation, the other party with a pure heart would definitely be relatively easier to accept a contract technique such as the "Tianluo Mother and Child Heart Curse" that is binding on both parties.

Zhou Chun has always been very caring towards his pet spirit, and he would never abuse it. So even if the "Tianluo Mother and Child Heart Curse" has a restriction on him, he does not care. He believes that the pet spirit that has a contract with him will not use its life to plot against him.

This kind of secret technique can be practiced and performed during the Foundation Establishment Period, so it is not difficult to master for a Jindan Period cultivator like him.

It only took Zhou Chun about four months to master this secret technique.

After doing this, although Qin Yang did not activate the "Mother-Child Linking Talisman", Zhou Chun still took the initiative to go to Jinzhou for peace of mind and to save this set of talismans.

After returning to the underground crater, Zhou Chun discovered that after several months, the Flame Prison Peacock had undergone considerable changes.

Its size had begun to shrink, and it had shrunk by almost one-fifth compared to when Zhou Chun first saw it.

At the same time, the originally bright feathers on its body are gradually disappearing, as if all the feathers are about to be burned.

All these can prove that its nirvana evolution process has entered a new stage.

This kind of wonder is rare, so Zhou Chun calmed down and slowly observed the nirvana process of the Flame Prison Peacock.

Gradually, Zhou Chun discovered something that surprised him.

That is, when Qin Yang was observing the process of the Yanyu Peacock's Nirvana, he seemed to have some sudden enlightenment, and he could clearly feel that there were some changes in his aura.

"Could it be because this person is practicing a fire-attributed technique?"

Zhou Chun pondered secretly in his heart, and even considered whether to ask Zhou Mingde and Lin Hongyu to come over and see if they had any insights.

But after thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Chun gave up the idea.

It's not that he doesn't trust these two elders, but he feels that given their level of cultivation, even if they really have some understanding, the effect may not be very good.

On the contrary, several Jindan-stage cultivators of the Zhou family disappeared, which easily attracted outside attention and added variables.

After waiting for more than a month, seeing that Qin Yang seemed to have recovered from his enlightenment, Zhou Chun looked at him with a little curiosity and asked, "From your appearance these days, it seems that you have gained a lot. Can you tell me about it?"

"I have indeed gained something. I have mainly realized the direction of my own cultivation method, and I have gained some new understandings of several magical skills."

Qin Yang spoke a little vaguely about his own gains, and then couldn't help but sighed: "This Nirvana magical power is worthy of being the magical power that only the Fire Phoenix clan can master in the legend. It is indeed extraordinary!"

Seeing this, Zhou Chun understood that he didn't want to reveal too much, so he didn't continue to ask questions, but just nodded slightly and let it go.

Seeing that Zhou Chun did not ask any more questions, Qin Yang felt relieved.

In fact, his gains this time were indeed very great. From observing the process of the Yanyu Peacock's nirvana evolution, he vaguely glimpsed his own chance of forming a pill.

If he could eliminate the Flame Prison Peacock poison in his body and find some spiritual objects to help him form the elixir, he would have more than a 30% chance of successfully forming the elixir.

This success rate is definitely not low, so I am really excited at this moment.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, another half a year had passed.

At this time, the Flame Hell Peacock in Nirvana had turned into a bald, hairless white chicken, and its body size had shrunk to the size of an ordinary peacock.

But on the contrary, the fire of Nirvana burning on its body was even more dazzling, and even Zhou Chun could hardly see the true form of the Hell Peacock inside!

At this point, the Nirvana evolution of the Flame Prison Peacock has come to an end, and the next step should be the most important transformation of the demon soul.

Zhou Chun, who had been waiting for a long time, became nervous at this time. He even stopped his daily contemplation of other magical powers and focused on the changes in the Flame Prison Peacock.

In this way, after waiting for nearly a month, the Nirvana Fire outside the Flame Hell Peacock's body suddenly changed again, and suddenly turned into a layer of flaming eggshell that completely wrapped and covered the Flame Hell Peacock inside, making Zhou Chun completely lose the ability to spy on the Flame Hell Peacock's true body.

This scene made his expression change slightly, and he almost couldn't help but take action.

But in the end he kept his composure and continued to wait patiently.

I didn’t expect that the wait would last another nine months!
One day more than nine months later, a loud and clear sound suddenly rose from the giant flaming egg, and then the magma in the magma pool seemed to be seduced by something, and the pure and violent fire-attributed spiritual energy rushed out from the magma pool and all rushed towards the giant flaming egg.

It's now!

Zhou Chun, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly saw an opportunity and took decisive action.
