Chapter 624 Twelve Fourth-Level Demon Pills [Subscription Request]

Just as Zhou Chun expected, Zhou Mingde was extremely excited and delighted when he learned that the Zhou family was expected to take over the Qinglian Mountains.

He didn't have much hope for this at first, because he knew how difficult it would be to accomplish!
But I didn’t expect that Zhou Chun actually accomplished it!

"God bless our Zhou family, God bless our Zhou family!!"

"It seems that this great beast tide not only did not cause our Zhou family to suffer much loss, but also became an opportunity for our Zhou family to make further progress!"

"Isn't this a blessing from God?"

Zhou Mingde spoke with excitement and joy, laughing continuously.

When he was forced to abandon Tuyunling and Jiufengling and retreat northward, he was extremely sad and heartbroken that the efforts that the Zhou family had invested in the two sacred mountains and blessed lands over the past hundreds of years were destroyed.

In addition, many members of the clan died in the process of resisting the beast tide, which further weakened the family's strength.

This made him feel depressed and he was worried about the future development of the Zhou family.

But now that they knew that the Zhou family was expected to take over the Qinglian Mountains, all these sorrows and worries disappeared.

Compared with the rich and vast Qinglian Mountains, the two sacred mountains of Tuyunling and Jiufengling are nothing!
As long as the Zhou family can manage the Qinglian Mountains, this blessed land, well, their future prospects will be limitless.

"Yes, they say that you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. Now it seems that our previous decision to retreat and abandon Tuyunling was correct and useful!"

Zhou Chun also nodded with emotion, but his heart was still not calmed down.

The Qinglian Mountains, a sacred and blessed place, are indeed of great importance.

Now that the Zhou family can take over the Qinglian Mountains, not only will they no longer have to worry about running out of space in the future, the cultivation speed of the clan members will also benefit from the amplification effect of the spiritual veins, and all will be greatly improved.

The Qinglian Mountains, which stretch for thousands of miles, will become a pasture for the Zhou family to graze their spiritual beasts, bringing the advantages of the Zhou family's inherited beast taming skills to the extreme!

Even when Zhou Chun transforms his elixir into a baby in the future, there will be some slight added effect in this blessed land.

That was why he was so eager to rule the Qinglian Mountains.

"Although this matter is almost certain, there shouldn't be any big problems, but for the sake of confidentiality, it is better not to mention it to other tribesmen for now."

"Moreover, the condition for Master Tianjing to help is to exterminate the inheritance of Qinglian Temple. Our Zhou family should also pay more attention to the news about the remnants of Qinglian Temple. While there is still chaos everywhere, we should take advantage of the troubled waters to kill them!"

After Zhou Chun calmed down, he expressed his thoughts in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Zhou Mingde immediately nodded and said, "Zhengchun, you are right. The sooner this matter is done, the better. I will immediately mobilize the family intelligence network to find the whereabouts of the remnants of Qinglian Temple!"

After staying at the Su family's mountain gate for half a day, Zhou Chun set off for the Qinglian Mountains.

Although Master Tianjing said that the war would not continue, after all, no official order has been issued yet. If Zhou Chun leaves the base for a long time, he will still be easily criticized.

Especially since it is still unclear whether the Yan Yang Sect will agree to the Yue Lun Sect’s proposal, Zhou Chun does not want to give them an excuse to oppose!

After Zhou Chun returned to the Qinglian Mountains, he immediately reported his experiences in the Yuelun Sect to Master Tianjing.

After listening to his story, Tianjing Zhenren nodded in satisfaction and said, "Since Yuelun Sect is willing to express its support, then this matter should be almost certain. Little friend Zhou, you can now consider how to manage Qinglian Mountain Range in the future."

"I hope so!"

Zhou Chun sighed softly, and then whispered: "I have already mobilized the family's power to find the whereabouts of the remnants of Qinglian Temple. As long as we find their whereabouts and wait for good news from the Moon Wheel Sect, I will personally take action to fulfill my promise to my predecessors!"

What he didn't expect was that after hearing what he said, Tianjing Zhenren didn't seem happy at all. Instead, he looked at him and said, "My dear Zhou, you are thoughtful, but there is no need to rush this matter. It is not appropriate to do this now."

"Why is this?"

Zhou Chun was slightly startled and looked at the other party with confusion.

But Tianjing Zhenren said in a slightly cold tone: "Old Ghost Qingxiao had an agreement with Yuelun Sect and Yanyang Sect. After his death, the two sects must not attack Qinglian Temple and must take care of Qinglian Temple for 200 years!"

"The two factions were unable to protect themselves during the Beast Tide, so they were unable to keep the promise to protect Qinglian Temple. If Qinglian Temple asks them for help, they will definitely protect it."

"But old ghost Qingxiao has been dead for many years, and more than half of the two hundred years have passed. When the time comes, you, little friend Zhou, will have no problem taking action!"

This was the first time Zhou Chun had heard of this and he was a little surprised for a moment.

However, this can explain clearly why the Yuelun Sect did not truly fulfill its responsibilities as the sect leader when the Qinglian Temple openly targeted the Zhou family.

After being surprised, he said with a look of relief: "So that's how it is! Fortunately, the senior reminded me, otherwise I would have almost made a big mistake!"

"Since I have chosen you and the Zhou family as my partners, I will naturally not let anything happen to you."

Taoist Tianjing replied with something that seemed to be meaningful, and then ended the conversation with Zhou Chun.

In the following days, Zhou Chun traveled around the Qinglian Mountains, exploring the sacred mountains in various locations. He also participated in some exchange meetings between Jindan-stage cultivators to exchange treasures with each other.

After waiting for almost three months, the order to disband the coalition forces was finally officially issued.

As this order was issued, the reinforcements from various countries retreated first.

Only the Yuelun Sect and Yanyang Sect, the two major local forces in Jingguo, jointly sent out hundreds of disciples to form patrol teams to inspect the border with Yunzhou to prevent large-scale beasts from crossing the border.

At the same time, the "Dragon Court Soldiers" in Yunzhou also retreated along the river back to Longyuanze. The monsters that remained were all the groups of beasts that invaded with the beast tide.

However, many fourth-level monsters stayed and did not retreat back to the wilderness.

And the fifth-level demon kings have not completely evacuated Yunzhou either.

It is obvious that Yunzhou will become a demon domain for a long time to come.

For the Jingguo immortal cultivation world, losing Yunzhou means not only losing a fertile land, but also losing a deep area.

In the past, with Yunzhou in the front, the several states behind were safe places.

Now Yunzhou has become a demon domain, and the demon beasts in it can spread to several neighboring states at any time.

If another huge wave of beasts erupts from Yunzhou next time, the entire Jingguo may fall within a few days!
Zhou Chun didn't believe that the Yuelun Sect and the Yanyang Sect couldn't see this.

But since they knew this clearly, they still failed to recapture Yunzhou, which means there must be some unknown inside story.

Therefore, I can only stop thinking about things that I can't interfere with.

After the war was confirmed to be over, he first returned to the Su family in Jiangzhou, brought those clansmen back to Tuyunling and Jiufengling, and began the reconstruction work.

Regardless of whether the Zhou family can eventually successfully take over the Qinglian Mountains, these two sacred mountains and blessed places will not be lost, and manpower and material resources can still be invested in their reconstruction.

The surviving immortal cultivation families throughout Jingguo did almost the same thing. They returned to their family ancestral homeland as soon as possible and began to rebuild the mountain gate.

But after this war, all the immortal cultivation families in the places that were captured or attacked by the beast tide suffered heavy losses, and many of them had their families destroyed.

Many sacred mountains and blessed places will have to change their owners in the future!

"Have you figured out the losses of the family in this great beast tide? How is the situation?"

On Tuyun Ridge, Zhou Chun looked at the tribesmen who were rebuilding various buildings in the mountain, and asked Zhou Mingde in a low voice about the family's losses.

Ever since the beast tide broke out, he has been busy running around and killing monsters, and has not paid much attention to the situation of his family members.

But the disappearance of some faces still made him realize that the Zhou family’s loss might not be small.

Sure enough, after hearing his words, Zhou Mingde sighed and said, "The family's loss is not small, it can even be said to be huge!"

"Although we knew about the beast tide outbreak several years in advance and made various preparations, the intensity of this beast tide is undoubtedly much stronger than we expected."

"In this war, although no family elders were killed, Zheng Yong and his son were seriously injured, and seven members of the family in the foundation-building stage died!" "As for the fallen Qi training cultivators in the family, including some family relatives, the number is close to 300!"

"Not to mention the other kinds of property losses, the gains made by the family this time are more than enough to offset or even far exceed these losses!"

Zhou Chun's expression changed slightly, and he said in a surprised tone: "Is the loss so serious?"

Then he shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It seems that the family will strongly encourage members to get married and have children in the future!"

Hearing his words, Zhou Mingde immediately said in a heavy tone: "It is very necessary to encourage the clan members to reproduce, because the greater loss of the family this time is still the ordinary clan members!"

"Originally, the number of ordinary members of the family was already hundreds of thousands, but yesterday I learned from the members of the family who went to check on the situation that almost all of the underground bunkers where the ordinary members of the family were hiding were discovered and dug up by the monsters. More than 80% of the ordinary members died in this beast tide!"

"So not only does the number of monks in the family need to be replenished urgently, but the number of mortals also needs to be restored as soon as possible!"

Zhou Chun was speechless for a long while after hearing this.

Indeed, although many cultivators died in the Jingguo cultivation world during this beast invasion, they were not the worst-hit.

The worst are the mortals!

Places like Yunzhou, Lanzhou, Lianzhou, etc. originally had no less than tens of millions of mortals.

However, in the beast tide, any large settlement of mortals was basically used as a dining table by the monsters.

It can be said that only one in ten mortals can survive!

There is no crowing of roosters for thousands of miles, and bones are exposed in the wild. This is the current situation in Lingzhou and other places.

Zhou Chun did not talk more about this topic and went to visit Zhou Zhengyong and his son.

In their previous battle, the father and son encountered a third-rank top-grade monster that self-destructed its demon pill. If it weren't for the many protective magic weapons and talismans on their bodies, they would have almost been buried with the monster!

But even so, both of them suffered serious internal injuries.

Zhou Chun visited the father and son, and after making sure that their injuries were not serious, he returned to his residence and counted his gains.

Zhou Chun obviously reaped huge rewards from this great beast tide.

In the beast tide, he killed more than ten fourth-level monsters by himself, and now he has as many as twelve fourth-level monster pills in his hand.

Among these twelve demon pills, there are two fourth-grade top-quality demon pills, which come from the Golden Unicorn and the [Blue-eyed Golden Ape].

There are also four fourth-grade medium-quality demon pills, which come from the killed blue dragon, armadillo demon beast, three-legged thunder gull, and another fire-attribute demon pill obtained in exchange for a water-attribute demon pill.

After Zhou Chun's replacement, these twelve demon pills can be directly refined and consumed by his spirit pets to improve their cultivation.

Among them, there are three golden demon pills, two fourth-grade top-grade ones and one fourth-grade lower-grade one.

There are two earth-attributed demon pills, one is a fourth-level medium-grade one and the other is a fourth-level low-grade one.

There are two wind-attributed demon pills, both of which are lower-grade fourth level.

There are two fire-attribute demon pills, one is a fourth-level medium-grade one and the other is a fourth-level low-grade one.

There are two thunder attribute demon pills, one is a fourth-level medium-quality one and the other is a fourth-level low-quality one.

A water-attributed demon pill, from a fourth-order mid-grade blue dragon.

In addition to these fourth-level demon pills, there are now as many as twenty-three third-level demon pills in Zhou Chun's personal storage bag alone, all of which were accumulated from some third-level monsters killed in the past.

As long as there are demon pills, there will naturally be no shortage of demon beast corpses.

Although Zhou Chun had several demon pills in his hand, which were distributed from cooperating with others to kill fourth-level demon beasts, he now had as many as seven fourth-level demon beast corpses in his hands, including the corpse of a fourth-level top-grade golden unicorn and the corpse of a fourth-level mid-grade blue dragon.

The corpses of these monsters are also valuable spiritual materials.

However, too many monsters died in this beast tide. I am afraid that for a long time in the future, the prices of monster materials in the Tianling countries will fall, and even radiate to the areas of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Fortunately, compared to those low- and medium-level monster materials, the materials from fourth-level monsters are easier to preserve for a long time, so Zhou Chun is not in a hurry to take action immediately.

After counting his gains in the beast tide, Zhou Chun directly fed a fourth-grade low-grade demon pill to the four spirit pets other than Mu Mei and Mu Sang to reward them for their contributions in this war.

As for Mu Mei Mu Sang, it would be a bit of a waste to replace its wood-attributed demon pill alone. Zhou Chun planned to compensate it after his disciple Zhou Zhiying became the master of the secret island in the future.

At the same time as the Zhou family began to rebuild the two sacred sites of Tuyunling and Jiufengling, the Yuelun Sect and the Yanyang Sect were also negotiating and discussing the ownership of the Qinglian Mountains.

Just as the Zhou family had repaired all the damaged buildings and set up the Soul Purification Array, good news finally came from the Moon Wheel Sect.

The Yanyang Sect agreed to the Yuelun Sect's proposal to allow the Zhou family to take control of the Qinglian Mountains, but also put forward new conditions.

That is, the Zhou family will no longer be a vassal of the Yuelun Sect, but must become an independent third-party force. It must no longer have any subordinate relationship with the Yuelun Sect, and must also accept their sending people to the Qinglian Mountains for supervision.

At the same time, the Zhou family was also required to assume some of the social responsibilities that the Qinglian Temple had previously undertaken, and to produce a certain number of foundation-building pills every ten years to benefit the independent cultivators in the several states under its jurisdiction.

These two new conditions have both advantages and disadvantages for the Zhou family.

The advantage is that since the vassal relationship with the Moon Wheel Sect has been terminated in name, there will be fewer constraints in doing some things in the future.

The downside is that it will not be easy to use the Moon Wheel Sect's reputation as a cover, which will make other major forces wary.

However, considering that Master Tianjing will reside in Qinglian Mountains in the future, Zhou Chun thinks this disadvantage is still acceptable.

As for the matter of taking out the Foundation Establishment Pill to benefit the independent cultivators under his rule, it can only be regarded as a small problem. For the Zhou family today, it is not a big deal at all.

On the contrary, as the matter of taking control of the Qinglian Mountains was settled, a very realistic problem was placed before him.

How should the Zhou family manage this blessed land?

Who should be asked to set up the mountain protection formation?

The former can be planned slowly, but the latter is an urgent matter!

After all, without a mountain protection formation to guard the blessed land, people would not feel at ease even if there were cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage in charge.

Any low-level monster could enter and cause damage.

So when Zhou Chun learned that he could take over the Qinglian Mountains, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he also had to immediately consider this issue.

"We now have two choices. One is to ask the formation masters of the Moon Wheel Sect and the Yanyang Sect to help build the mountain protection formation. They will definitely not refuse this. But if we do this, it means that they will know all the details of our family's mountain protection formation!"

"The second option is to ask a formation master from a distant foreign country to build a mountain protection formation!"

On Tuyun Ridge, after some thought, Zhou Chun told Zhou Mingde his views.

After hearing his words, Zhou Mingde only hesitated for a moment, then looked at him with a firm expression and said, "Let's choose the second option. The mountain protection formation is of great importance. Even if this will easily cause the two factions to have opinions, we can't dig a hole for ourselves!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun nodded and said, "I also prefer the second option. If that's the case, then I'll have to go to the Great Zhou Kingdom. Only there can I find a formation master who can set up a forbidden formation more easily!"

"Sure. Anyway, now that the war has ended, you don't need to do anything for the reconstruction. It's a good opportunity to go there and inform Daoyi to bring back the tribesmen who were previously arranged!"

Zhou Mingde said this and then added: "And if you go to the Great Zhou Kingdom, you can buy more elixirs to improve the cultivation of Qi training cultivators. If we want to complete the construction of Qinglian Mountain Range quickly, we must recruit a large number of independent cultivators to help. These things are the most attractive hard currency!"

"I understand. I will go meet Senior Tianjing first, and then go directly to the Great Zhou Kingdom."

Zhou Chun said this and immediately set off for the Qinglian Mountains.

This wave of cooling is really quite strong! But after watching today's game, my heart is even colder!
