Beast-controlling fairy clan.

After two years of observation, Zhou Chun found that although Zhou Xinyan was not as experienced and thoughtful as the deceased Zhou Xinyi in handling affairs, he was still capable of being used and at least met the basic requirements.

Moreover, the management of family affairs like this requires experience. As you gain more experience, you will naturally become more proficient.

Another point is that the Zhou family has developed to this point. After many optimizations of the management structure at all levels, as long as the people at the top don't mess around, the family can run normally without major problems.

The management ability requirements for the people at the top are no longer as high as before.

Even if there is no acting clan leader, clan leader Zhou Chun no longer has to worry about everything like before and take care of every detail.

What's more, Zhou Mingde is watching us all the time!
After more than nine years of latent cultivation, Zhou Chun has made great progress in several secret arts and magical powers.

Among them, the third level of the "God-Slaying Technique" has been successfully broken through, and now there are three "God-Slaying Swords" condensed. If used at the same time, a middle-stage Jindan monk can drink a pot.

In addition, the first level of "Small Five Elements Breaking the Prohibition of Mysterious Light" was also completely practiced successfully.

This secret magical power was indeed extremely profound. The forbidden light produced by the first level alone was enough to pose a great threat to the Zhou family's [Five-Directions Miro Formation] on Jiufeng Ridge.

If one has the cultivation base of the late Purple Mansion stage, combined with this forbidden-breaking mysterious light, one can forcefully break into and out of this formation!
This made Zhou Chun even more excited about the effects of the second level of the secret technique.

Unfortunately, in more than nine years, the Zhou family had only helped him collect one of the five elements spiritual objects he needed, and he was still missing one earth-attributed spiritual object to complete the five spiritual objects.

At the same time, after more than nine years of practice, Zhou Chun has also made great progress in the secret art of "Sha Yuan Drill". A "Sha Yuan Drill" with golden evil energy as its origin has condensed in his body. In the future, he only needs to continue to use the secret art to absorb the golden evil energy and integrate it into it to enhance its power.

The rest such as [Genjin Sky-Splitting Thunder] and [Beast Spirit Fusion Method] have also been improved, and the gains are not small.

However, although these advances were certainly gratifying, the stuck cultivation level caused Zhou Chun to feel a little worried.

Lin Hongyu, who had successfully formed the elixir long before him, had also been stuck in front of this barrier for quite some time and had not seen any chance of breaking through.

In the past two years, news also came from Luo Qingni that she did not succeed in making a breakthrough after taking the [Jade Dew Golden Cloud Pill].

Coupled with the Su family's ancestor who had been stuck for hundreds of years, Li family's supreme elder Li Jingxuan and others, Zhou Chun found that he might have really underestimated the difficulty of the realm barrier after the Jindan stage.

No wonder among so many Jindan stage cultivators he had come into contact with, the proportion of middle-stage Jindan cultivators and late-stage Jindan cultivators was so small.

Maybe it is really as the ancestor of the Su family said, if there is no special opportunity, most Jindan stage cultivators will have to stay in the early Jindan stage for their entire lives.

The Jindan stage is already so difficult, Zhou Chun doesn't even dare to imagine how difficult it will be to break through the realm barrier of the Yuanying stage!
This also made Zhou Chun pay more attention to the barrier-breaking elixir [Four Spirits Barrier-Breaking Pill].

Now the middle stage of the Golden Core barrier is already so difficult to break through, and the late stage of the Golden Core barrier in the future will only be much more difficult.

When the time comes, he must use the help of such barrier-breaking elixirs to be able to successfully break through.

On this day, Zhou Chun received news that the Moon Wheel Sect's headmaster, Baiyue Zhenren, was preparing to go into seclusion to reach the Nascent Soul realm, and a handover ceremony between the old and new heads would be held!

This news is somewhat surprising, yet not surprising.

As the only known cultivator with top-grade spiritual roots in Jingguo, Master Baiyue has already been a cultivator in the late Jindan stage.

However, even if one has the best spiritual roots, when it comes to transforming the elixir and forming the infant, he does not have much advantage over a cultivator with ordinary qualifications.

Therefore, even though Master Baiyue had cultivated to the late stage of Golden Elixir at the age of less than 600 years old, he was still not in a hurry to transform the elixir into a baby at that time, but waited for more than 200 years.

It was not until now, when he saw that his life span was approaching 900 years and that if he did not transform the elixir into a fetus, his success rate would be affected by his life span, that he finally decided to make this desperate attempt.

In fact, Zhou Chun also knew some inside information, which was that a certain Yuanying stage supreme elder of the Yuelun Sect did not have much time left.

If Master Baiyue could break through to the Nascent Soul stage before the great elder passed away, the Moon Wheel Sect would still be able to maintain its absolute advantage in the number of masters in the Nascent Soul stage.

But if that supreme elder passed away first, the Moon Wheel Sect would only have two Nascent Soul Stage masters in charge, as the Moon Wheel Sect had previously lost a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator to the self-explosion of a fifth-order thunder dragon.

This number is equal to the number of Yuanying stage monks in Yanyang Sect.

In that case, even if the Yuelun Sect is still stronger than the Yanyang Sect in terms of overall strength, it will actually lose a lot of its say in terms of top-level cultivators, and the Yanyang Sect will see hope of overtaking!

Therefore, it is unknown to outsiders whether Master Baiyue chose to retreat to enter the Nascent Soul Realm at this time because he had to do so because he was old or because of the needs of his sect.

For the Zhou family, this matter can also be said to be neutral. Regardless of the success or failure of Zhenyue Worshiper, it has nothing to do with the Zhou family.

A few months later, Zhou Chun, the ancestor of the Su family and other leaders of important vassal families under the Yuelun Sect gathered at the main gate of the Yuelun Sect to attend and witness the leadership replacement ceremony of the Yuelun Sect.

According to the rules of the Moon Wheel Sect, the next person to take over as the leader is Zhenren Baiyue.

The new Moon Worshiper is not as talented as his predecessor. Although his cultivation is also in the late Golden Core stage, it is said that it was forcibly raised, which basically cuts off the possibility of forming a baby.

However, this man looks quite young, probably in his early thirties, with a handsome and elegant face.

Zhou Chun also chatted with the person who took over and found that he was not an easy person to deal with. At least he felt that he was not as good as the previous Master Baiyue.

However, it was not Zhou Chun's turn to interfere in the selection of the leader of the Yuelun Sect, so even if he felt that the new Moon Worshiper was not good enough, he could only remind himself to be more careful in the future.

After the headmaster succession ceremony, the incoming Master Baiyue went into seclusion directly, and Zhou Chun and other people who came to watch the ceremony also went back.

However, not long after Zhou Chun returned to the family, Su Yuzhen suddenly came to the door, and it turned out that his "desire disaster" had begun to happen.

The "desire calamity" caused by practicing "Su Nu Xuan Gong" needs to be resolved through the method of dual cultivation.

Over the years, Zhou Chun and Su Yuzhen have developed many strategies to deal with this disaster.

At this time, Su Yuzhen's "desire calamity" broke out and came to the door. Zhou Chun immediately closed the cave and asked his disciple Zhou Zhiying to go to Zhou Mingde to practice first, and wholeheartedly helped him to resolve this calamity.

I have to say, since the "desire calamity" is called a calamity, it is really completely different from normal dual cultivation.

Su Yuzhen is a Jindan stage cultivator, but his self-control ability under the "desire calamity" is not as good as that of a teenage girl!

In this state, she was like a female animal in estrus, completely dominated by instinct and with no rationality at all!
However, when cultivating dual cultivation, the most taboo thing for cultivators is to completely indulge in carnal desires, because doing so will only deplete the energy of both parties and bring no benefits.

Therefore, when Su Yuzhen lost her mind, Zhou Chun's mission as a Taoist partner was very important and arduous. While sticking to his original intention, he was also responsible for calming the chaotic magic power in her body and guiding her to perform the correct dual cultivation ritual.

Otherwise, it would just be helping her vent her desires, which would not be of any help in overcoming the "desire catastrophe" and would even increase the power of the catastrophe!

Therefore, when going through the "Tribulation of Desire", the pressure actually fell entirely on Zhou Chun, the dual cultivation partner.

If they fail to transcend the tribulation in the end, it will be due to the incompetence of Zhou Chun, the dual cultivation partner. It can almost be said that he bears most of the responsibility for the death of his Taoist partner!
From this we can see the strangeness of the "Su Nu Xuan Gong" technique, and we can also see how much importance the monks who choose to practice this technique attach to luck when choosing a partner for dual cultivation.

Su Yuzhen's luck is undoubtedly very good.

Not only is Zhou Chun's cultivation level no worse than hers, but his attributes in all aspects are also stronger than hers.

For example, at this moment, Zhou Chun's strong body allowed him to deal with his fellow Taoist's endless demands without destroying his body.

You must know that Su Yuzhen's consciousness is sinking at this time, and during the dual cultivation process, he will involuntarily collect energy from his Taoist partner. As a dual cultivation method, "Su Nu Xuan Gong" itself has this effect.

If Zhou Chun was a little bit inferior to her, his body would have been ruined by her day-to-day consumption of energy.

On the other hand, Zhou Chun's spiritual awareness was so strong that she could persist even if she had to do two jobs at the same time and was distracted from guiding her to perform the dual cultivation ritual to help her calm the chaotic magic power in her body.

However, one thing is certain, after this incident, Zhou Chun would be somewhat reluctant to practice dual cultivation for the next few dozen or even hundreds of years.

After practicing dual cultivation in the cave for who knows how many times, one day when Zhou Chun was practicing dual cultivation with Su Yuzhen again, he suddenly felt his consciousness become unstable and instantly entered a strange state.

It was as if his soul had left his body and entered Su Yuzhen's purple palace sea of ​​consciousness, but here Su Yuzhen's soul was surprisingly clear.

Seeing him come in, Su Yuzhen's soul immediately looked at him affectionately, and then she took the initiative to come up and kiss him.

Dual cultivation of spirit and soul is the most superior dual cultivation method that can be encountered but cannot be sought, and only high-level monks with cultivation levels above the Zifu stage can enter this wonderful realm when doing dual cultivation.

There are many benefits to practicing both spirit and soul. The greatest benefit is that you can directly strengthen the origin of the spirit and soul and enhance the strength of spiritual consciousness through practicing both yin and yang.

And after the dual cultivation of spirit and soul, there is a telepathy between Taoist couples. When one party encounters life danger and has strong emotional fluctuations, the other party will feel something even if they are thousands of miles away.

It is said that if both parties have a high level of cultivation and have experienced multiple spiritual and dual cultivation, they can even rely on this kind of telepathy to convey certain information across thousands of miles.

In addition, dual cultivation of spirit and soul is also extremely helpful in stabilizing the relationship between Taoist partners. After experiencing dual cultivation of spirit and soul, it is as if each other has left a mark in each other's spirit and soul, which can be said to be that you are in me and I am in you.

Even though Zhou Chun and Su Yuzhen had been practicing dual cultivation for over two hundred years and had practiced dual cultivation with each other many times before, because their feelings for each other were not deep and they were not destined to be together, they had never practiced dual cultivation of spirit and soul.

This time, it was not known whether it was because the two of them practiced dual cultivation too frequently, or because Su Yuzhen was in the "desire calamity" and in a special state, the two of them finally had the chance to enter the blissful realm that countless dual cultivation partners dreamed of, and embarked on the most superior path of dual cultivation!

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Chun's consciousness returned to his body.

He opened his eyes, and a glimmer of spiritual light flashed in them.

Looking at his Taoist partner Su Yuzhen who was sitting on him, he also opened his eyes at this moment, and there was no longer only desire in his eyes as before.

"Does this mean that the 'Desire Tribulation' has passed?"

Zhou Chun asked softly, his voice a little hoarse.

"Well, it's over now. Thank you for your hard work these days, my husband!"

Su Yuzhen nodded with a slightly blushing face, showing a rare shy look like a little girl.

He probably remembered all the dissolute and ridiculous things he had done when he was in the "calamity of desire".

However, Zhou Chun didn't care about those things. When she learned that her doom was over, she felt relieved and was truly happy for her.

He immediately said, "That's good. Madam, you should take a good rest first. I, your husband, can also retreat to digest what I have just learned."

"Yeah." Su Yuzhen responded in a low voice, and immediately stood up from Zhou Chun.

Zhou Chun also stood up, put on his clothes, left the bedroom and went to the cave practice room.

After entering the training room, Zhou Chun sat cross-legged beside the Spirit Eye Spring, meditating quietly to digest the gains he had made from the previous spiritual and mental cultivation.

Cultivating both the spirit and soul is something that can only be achieved by chance, and the effect is best the first time.

For cultivators above the Purple Mansion Stage, every time the origin of their soul grows stronger, it will be of great help in improving their own cultivation.

Zhou Chun felt that after this spiritual and mental cultivation, his originally solid and thick realm barrier had begun to loosen.

That's why he was so eager to retreat and digest what he had gained.

After some meditation and breathing adjustment, and careful sensing, Zhou Chun confirmed that his feeling was not wrong.

With the help of this dual cultivation of mind and soul, the barrier of his realm has indeed begun to loosen.

This is undoubtedly very good news.

If the realm barrier is a wall, then the looseness now means that cracks have appeared in the wall and the bricks are starting to loosen.

From now on, every time Zhou Chun attacks the barrier, the bricks of the wall will become looser until the wall collapses completely!

In other words, he only needs to make progress step by step with steady effort, and it won’t take too long for him to break through the realm barrier and reach the middle stage of the Golden Core!

Compared with this huge benefit, the fact that the range of spiritual awareness has increased by one or two miles is nothing.

After counting on their fingers, they realized that in order to help Su Yuzhen overcome the "calamity of desire", the couple had actually stayed in the cave for more than 500 days, nearly a year and a half!
When Zhou Chun walked out of the cave and saw his apprentice Zhou Zhiying again, this apprentice had already reached the middle stage of foundation building.

At this rate, she would be able to try to open up the Purple Palace before she turns fifty, which would be earlier than Zhou Chun's estimated age of sixty or seventy.

"Zhengchun, now that you have come out of seclusion, has Yuzhen survived the disaster?"

Seeing Zhou Chun coming out, Zhou Mingde also asked about Su Yuzhen's tribulation situation with concern.

This matter is of great importance, and he is very concerned and pays attention to it.

"Yes, Yuzhen has successfully overcome the disaster and will be able to return to the Su family soon."

Zhou Chun nodded slightly, confirming his guess.

As for the fact that he and Su Yuzhen entered a state of dual cultivation of spirit and soul, thereby loosening the realm barrier, Zhou Chun did not say it because it involved personal privacy.

Even if this matter is told, it will not be of any help to others because it cannot be replicated at all.

"That's good, that's good. This way, Fellow Daoist Su and I can rest assured."

Zhou Mingde cheered repeatedly and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he talked about several important events that happened over the past year.

First, his spiritual pet Vulcan Jackal has finally broken through to the third-level high-grade monster. He can only wait a few years to swallow the fourth-level [Fire Lion] demon pill and try to reach the fourth level.

Second, the Zhou family has added a new Purple Mansion period cultivator, Zhou Yuanlian, who practices the "Ten Thousand Poisons Sutra".

Third, Lei Jiao Baibai successfully infected and mutated into a dragon-blood monster, which was a dragon turtle monster mutated from the intermediate monster [Green-veined Water Turtle].

These three things can be said to be happy events worthy of joy.

After Zhou Yuanlian broke through to the late stage of foundation building a few years ago, he helped Qin Yang, the Purple Mansion cultivator of the Yanyang Sect, to eliminate the Flame Prison Peacock Poison in his body. Thanks to the nourishment of this special toxin, his practice of the "Ten Thousand Poisons Sutra" was very smooth.

After taking the [Purple Dust Pill] given to her by Zhou Chun, she successfully opened up the Purple Palace in one go.

In fact, it can be said that Zhou Chun had already anticipated this.

After all, as a practitioner of the "Ten Thousand Poisons Manual", she actually has a strong advantage in willpower and soul. The success rate of opening the Zi Mansion is higher than that of many monks with high-grade spiritual root qualifications.

However, the fact that Lei Jiao Baibai had actually infected and transformed into a mid-level monster really gave Zhou Chun a surprise.

The intermediate monster [Green-veined Water Turtle] itself is not actually a very powerful monster. It is only because of its docile temperament and its proficiency in defensive spells that it can be called a good spiritual pet.

Now that Baibai has been transformed by the Thunder Jiao into a dragon turtle monster, it must have gained thunder attributes and its attack capability has been greatly enhanced. Its value as a spiritual pet has been greatly improved.

According to the rules, the name of this new species of dragon-blood monster was chosen by Zhou Chun.

He also decided on the name [Silver Lightning Dragon Turtle] without hesitation on the spot.

Later, when Zhou Chun sent Su Yuzhen back to Su's house, he took advantage of the situation and rewarded Lei Jiao Bai Bai for his great achievements.

In fact, in addition to the dragon's ability to infect monsters with its breath and transform them into dragon-blood monsters, the Fire Phoenix clan can also create phoenix-blood monsters with the blood of the Fire Phoenix by bestowing their own essence and blood.

However, the lifeblood is also very important to the Fire Phoenix itself, and it will not be given away easily.

There are also many other factors involved. For example, the monster that swallowed the phoenix blood has a very high level of cultivation. There is a high probability that the phoenix blood will be directly refined by it to increase its cultivation level, making it difficult to transform successfully.

For example, the monster that swallowed the phoenix blood had too low a cultivation level and could not withstand the power of the phoenix blood, so it was directly burned to ashes by the power of the phoenix blood.

In short, in actual operation, it will be more difficult than the dragon using its breath to infect the monster and transform it into a dragon-blood monster.

The most important thing is that Zhou Chun was afraid that after cultivating the Phoenix-blooded monster, people would discover that he possessed the Hell Fire Phoenix, which would bring him endless trouble.

Based on various considerations, he has no plans to cultivate this kind of phoenix-blood monster for the time being.

In the following two years, Zhou Chun would try to impact the realm barrier every few days in order to loosen it.

After two years, he clearly felt that the realm barrier had loosened a lot, and the effect of each impact became better and better.

If he continues like this, he should be able to break through to the middle stage of the Golden Core in a few years.

But just when Zhou Chun was preparing to break through the boundary barrier in one go, news suddenly came from the wilderness. The high priest of the Scaled Frog Tribe, Ukulu, requested to see him, saying that he had something important to discuss.

When Zhou Chun received this news, he felt a pang in his heart and had a bad feeling.

But he couldn't help but think of an important matter he had asked Ukulu to do, and was worried that something had gone wrong with that matter.

Then he hurried to Longyuanze to meet with Ukulu.

When he saw Ukulu, he was surprised by the other party's appearance and became even more worried.

At this moment, Ukulu looked like he was about to die, with deathly aura already emanating from his body.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but ask, "Ukulu, what happened to you? Why did you suddenly become like this?"

Hearing what he said, Wukulu couldn't help but smile sadly and said: "Senior Zhou must have discovered it too. Wukulu is already dying. I'm afraid he won't be able to last more than a year!"

Then he talked about the reason why he became like this.

The reason was not what Zhou Chun worried about, but that something went wrong when he was forcibly trying to reach the level of a third-grade upper-grade warlock, causing him to fall into what immortal cultivators often call a state of demonic possession.

Although he finally managed to break free from his possessed state with the help of a treasure, his life span was greatly shortened and he was about to die!

Hearing his explanation, Zhou Chun breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at him thoughtfully and said, "So you contacted Zhou this time to explain the funeral arrangements and elect a new high priest. ?"

“Yes, that’s exactly what Ukulu thought.”

High Priest Ukuru nodded and confirmed this.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun also nodded and said, "Okay, as long as the people you choose are willing to continue to implement the policy of friendship between the two ethnic groups, we can remain the same as before."

After that, he continued, "However, you have to explain clearly to your successor the matter that Zhou asked you to do in Longyuan. He will take over this matter from you in the future!"

Hearing his words, Wukulu hurriedly responded solemnly: "Wukulu understands, Wukulu will definitely take him there personally before his life ends!"

Then he looked at Zhou Chun and hesitated for a moment before speaking again, "Also, Wukulu has another favor to ask, and I would like to ask Senior Zhou to agree to help!"

"Oh, come and listen."

Zhou Chun's expression changed, and he couldn't help but look at him a few more times, then nodded without comment.

Seeing him like this, Wukulu couldn't help but whispered cautiously: "The thing is, Wukulu's people have found through experiments that the [Black Lotus Pill] exchanged with us by the Zhou family is the most effective in improving the cultivation of our warlocks. Therefore, Wukulu would like to ask Senior Zhou to agree to increase the number of [Black Lotus Pills] in the future exchanges of pills, preferably to more than half of the total!"

"Black Lotus Pill?"

Zhou Chun recalled carefully in his mind and quickly found the information about this [Black Lotus Pill].

The real name of this [Black Lotus Pill] should be [Water Lotus Pill]. Originally, the pill was made with a water-attribute spiritual lotus as the main medicine, and was suitable for monks using water-attribute skills during the Qi training period.

Later, after the Zhou family planted a batch of lotus seeds that Zhou Chun got from the secret island, a special black lotus grew out of them. The [Water Lotus Pill] made from the lotus seeds was bluish-black in color, so it was also called the [Black Lotus Pill] by the Zhou family.

However, the Zhou family had used the [Water Lotus Pill] to exchange things with the Scaled Frog aliens before, but they had never mentioned this matter. It seemed that the special black lotus still had some special help for the cultivation of these aliens.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chun nodded calmly and said, "Now that I know about this, I will ask the family to refine more [Black Lotus Pills]. However, this pill is not easy to refine and the material output is small, so don't hold out too much hope!"

Six hundred words have been made up! 6666
