Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Chapter 625 Gongsun Family [Subscribe]

Is it true that Tianjing Zhenren was controlled by the Yuelun Cult?
Leaving the Qinglian Mountains and on the way to the Great Zhou Kingdom, Zhou Chun was thinking back to his previous meeting and conversation with Master Tianjing.

When he saw Master Tianjing again, he could clearly feel that there was something wrong with the other party's condition, as if he had been seriously injured again.

Considering that the war had just stopped not long ago, it was unlikely that Tianjing Zhenren's condition was caused by a fight with others.

Then, considering the second condition he proposed to her and some of her previous speculations, it was not difficult for Zhou Chun to know what had happened to him.

Zhou Chun was also secretly shocked by this.

After all, a Yuanying stage True Person is already the top existence in this world. Although he still cannot achieve immortality, he can already roam freely in the world.

Basically, as long as a Nascent Soul Real Person does not offend a Divine Transformation Venerable, or those great cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage, he will be treated as a VIP wherever he goes.

But now it is very likely that even the life and death of Tianjing Zhenren is controlled by others!

How could Zhou Chun not be extremely shocked when he knew about this?

He also knew clearly that the fundamental reason why Master Tianjing ended up in this state was probably because Master Qingxiao chopped off his physical body and captured his Nascent Soul alive.

No wonder Master Tianjing was determined to destroy the Taoist heritage of Qinglian Temple after the death of Master Qingxiao.

If Zhou Chun were in the same situation, he would definitely do the same.

In this way, he seemed to understand why the Moon Wheel Sect agreed so readily to the Zhou family's taking over the Qinglian Mountains.

Anyway, with Tianjing Zhenren as their thug, guarding the Qinglian Mountains, the Zhou family can never get out of their control. To put it bluntly, they are the ones who benefit the most.

I just don't know if the Yuelun Sect knows that Master Tianjing once wanted to bet on the Zhou family to replace them!
Zhou Chun hurried all the way and it didn't take long for him to arrive at Tianyuan Fairy City.

After entering the city, he went to Zhou Daoyi's cave as usual to visit his elders and disciples.

Since the beast tide did not last long, Zhou Chun and they had not seen each other for only two years.

But after seeing him, both Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Zhiying were very excited.

You should know that the news that several Nascent Soul cultivators and fifth-level demon kings had died in Jingguo had spread even to the Great Zhou Kingdom, causing quite a stir in the circle of high-level cultivators.

After all, it is difficult for beings of this level to die easily, let alone seven or eight of them dying in a short period of time!
After hearing the news, Zhou Daoyi was extremely shocked and worried about the safety of Zhou Chun and the Zhou family.

It was just because he was in the Great Zhou Kingdom, which was too far away from the Jing Kingdom. During the war, no cultivator could leave the Jing Kingdom and spread the news to the outside world, so he was unable to find out the relevant information.

I can only pray silently in my heart that nothing will happen to Zhou Chun and the Zhou family.

Before Zhou Chun came, the happiest thing for them was to hear the news that the war was over.

At that time, Zhou Daoyi wanted to go back immediately to check the situation.

However, considering that the war had just ended and the situation was unclear, he resisted the urge and stopped Zhou Zhiying from going back.

Now that he saw Zhou Chun appear in front of him unharmed, Zhou Daoyi finally let go of the worry that he had been unable to let go of.

When he learned from Zhou Chun about the general course of the war and the losses of the family, he was very optimistic and said, "It's good that everything is fine. As long as you, Zhengchun, and the core members of the family are fine, the family will be fine. In just a few decades, the family will be able to recover!"

Hearing what he said, Zhou Chun immediately said, "It's just to restore vitality, but it's unfair to the sacrifices of those clansmen. Only by making the family further progress can we ensure that their sacrifices are not in vain!"

After saying that, he also shared the good news of the Zhou family's successful entry into the Qinglian Mountains with Zhou Daoyi.

As he expected, after hearing the good news, Zhou Daoyi was extremely excited and couldn't help but stand up and applaud on the spot.

"Good, good, this is great! It makes me so happy!"

Zhou Daoyi cheered repeatedly, being so excited that he couldn't control himself.

Zhou Chun had never told him about his plans to take over the Qinglian Mountains, and he himself had never dared to think about such a good thing.

Therefore, when they suddenly heard about this happy event, the surprise and excitement in their hearts were far greater than Zhou Chun and Zhou Mingde's reactions when they first heard about it.

He was excited for a long time before he calmed down a little.

Then he looked at Zhou Chun with emotion and said, "It's unbelievable! When we first migrated to Jingguo, we were in such a mess! In order to have a sacred mountain to serve as the family's mountain gate, we even risked a life-and-death battle with local forces. It took a lot of effort to take over Jiufengling and lay down our roots!"

"Who could have thought of it at that time? Who could have thought of it!"

"Only three hundred years have passed, and our Zhou family has not only produced three Jindan-stage cultivators in succession, which is unprecedented, but also gained control of the Qinglian Mountains, a blessed land that only Yuanying-stage sects are qualified to enjoy!"

At this point, he excitedly shook his head again and again, "I can't believe it, I really can't believe this is true!"

"If our Zhou family ancestors are still alive, they must be cheering for the achievements of us, their descendants!"

After he finished speaking, his face was full of smiles.

What is Guangzong Yaozu?
The Zhou family’s current achievements are truly a glory to the family!

Not only in the number of Jindan-stage cultivators, but also in the number of fourth-order monsters cultivated, it far exceeds any era of our ancestors.

Even in terms of the number of family members and the grade of the mountain gate and spiritual land, they far exceed those of their ancestors, even far!
The ancestors of the Zhou family could not even fully possess a spiritual vein like the Three Immortals Mountain.

But now the Zhou family has taken over the Qinglian Mountains, a top-level blessed mountain that only the Nascent Soul sects are qualified to occupy!
It is just as Zhou Daoyi said, if the ancestors of the Zhou family were still alive and knew about this, they would definitely cheer for the achievements of their descendants.

"It is of course a rare opportunity to be able to take over the sacred mountain and blessed land of Qinglian Mountain, but it is not easy to manage such a sacred mountain and blessed land!"

"Not only is the family short of people now, but there is also no suitable forbidden formation that can be set up in the Qinglian Mountains."

"That's why I hurried here. In addition to wanting to report that you and Ying'er are safe, I also came here to find a reliable formation master."

Zhou Chun looked at Zhou Daoyi, who was smiling, and whispered his purpose of coming to the Great Zhou Kingdom.

After hearing what he said, the smile on Zhou Daoyi's face suddenly faded, revealing a solemn look.

He nodded immediately and said, "Zhengchun, you are right. These problems are indeed urgent problems that the family needs to solve."

He frowned again and continued, "There are a few formation masters in Tianyuan Immortal City who can set up a forbidden formation and are willing to be hired, but if we ask them to do it, let alone how much they need to pay, it is unknown whether they are willing to travel all the way to Jingguo. Moreover, it is unknown whether they can set up a forbidden formation that affects hundreds of miles!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately replied, "Let's not consider a forbidden formation like the original Qinglian Guarding Mountain Formation for now. Let's not talk about whether the family's current financial resources can support it. Even if it can be set up, it is not a good thing."

"Now all I have to do is to create a forbidden formation that is better than the [Nine Palaces Yellow Dragon Formation]!"

Hearing his answer, Zhou Daoyi's brows relaxed immediately, and he nodded and said, "If that's all, then those few people should be able to meet the requirements. Do you need me to contact them?"

"That's not necessary. It's not convenient for you to reveal your true identity right now. I can ask Brother Luo to contact them."

Zhou Chun shook his head slightly and told his own plan.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Daoyi didn't say anything more and just nodded to show his agreement.

Zhou Chun saw this, thought about it, and still didn't want to let the elder of the family feel too disappointed, so he spoke again: "By the way, before I left, the Grand Elder specifically told me to buy more elixirs that can improve the magic power of Qi training cultivators and bring them back to attract independent cultivators to work for the family. I'll trouble you with this matter, uncle."

Sure enough, after hearing his words, Zhou Daoyi immediately perked up and immediately responded, "No problem, I'll take care of this matter. I will definitely get it done before you leave!"

After discussing the business, Zhou Chun also had a conversation with his apprentice Zhou Zhiying, asking about her life in Tianyuan Fairy City in recent years.

Because she was worried that she might encounter an accident when she went out, she had been practicing in Tianyuan Fairy City in the past few years.

Perhaps she had already gotten used to this kind of life in the Zhou family, so she did not feel any discomfort. Instead, the various rare and precious spiritual objects gathered from all over the world in Tianyuan Fairy City opened her eyes. She often wandered around the shops in the city to learn about the special spiritual objects and customs of the immortal cultivation world in various places.

According to her own words, when she succeeds in forming a pill in the future and has enough power to protect herself, she will definitely travel all over the world and meet the local customs and people in the immortal cultivation world.

Zhou Chun was naturally very supportive and encouraging of her ambition.

After understanding his disciple's situation, Zhou Chun looked at his proud disciple and said, "This time, I got a lot of third-level demon pills. When I go to visit Luo Daoist, I will ask her to refine some pills for you to improve your magic power. When the time comes, you can take the pills slowly to improve your cultivation according to the situation. Don't be too eager for quick success."

Hearing his words, Zhou Zhiying immediately showed joy and bowed to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Master. I will work hard to practice and live up to your high expectations!" After that, he raised his head again, looked at Zhou Chun eagerly and said: "Master, can you give me a third-level demon pill with wind attribute? I want Xiaoyu to quickly advance to the third level and catch up with my cultivation as soon as possible!"

The "Xiao Yu" she mentioned was none other than the high-level monster "Sky Wind Thunder Eagle" that Zhou Daoyi had purchased at a high level and gave to her. It has now grown into a second-level top-quality monster.

With the talent of "Sky Wind Thunder Eagle", there is almost no problem in advancing to the third level. It just requires accumulating strength step by step for a few years.

But she obviously didn't want to drag it out that long, and wanted to use the demon pill to help her spirit pet save that time directly.

To be honest, if it was before the beast tide, even if Zhou Chun doted on her very much, he would not let her waste spiritual objects like this.

After all, she would not fight with anyone before she reached the stage of Dan formation, so it didn't matter if her spirit pet grew a few steps slower.

However, he now had enough demon pills in his hands, and his disciple took the initiative to ask for it. After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Chun nodded and said, "Okay, since you have been quite obedient over the years, I will fulfill your request."

As he said that, he took out a third-grade, low-grade wind-attribute demon pill from his storage bag and gave it to her.

Then, he left Zhou Daoyi's cave amid his disciple's numerous thanks.

Not long after, Zhou Chun appeared in "Qingni Ju".

"Congratulations, Brother Zhou, now that you have time to come to the Great Zhou Kingdom, it seems that the beast tide in Jing Kingdom should be over."

Inside the cave, after Luo Qingni welcomed Zhou Chun in, she smiled at him sincerely, and was very happy that nothing happened to him in the beast tide.

"Yes, the beast tide is finally over!"

Zhou Chun sighed with emotion, and took the opportunity to express his gratitude to the other party, thanking him for his hard work in refining a large number of healing pills for the Zhou family.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Chun was not in a hurry to talk about inviting a formation master. Instead, he looked at Luo Qingni and said, "During this beast tide, I killed a lot of fourth-level monsters. Now I have accumulated a lot of fourth-level monster pills, including some of the best fourth-level monster pills. I wonder if Brother Luo has a pill recipe that can use the monster pills as medicine to improve my magic power?"

"Oh, you even have a fourth-grade high-quality demon pill? It seems that Brother Zhou's strength is much stronger than Qing Ni imagined!"

Luo Qingni was slightly startled, and looked at Zhou Chun with surprise, her beautiful eyes shining with excitement.

She only knew that Zhou Chun was quite powerful and could not be measured by the standards of an ordinary Jindan-stage cultivator, but she did not expect that Zhou Chun was so strong that he could even obtain the demon core of a fourth-rank top-grade demon beast!
Facing her amazement, Zhou Chun humbly waved his hand and said, "It was just luck. I teamed up with other Taoist friends to kill two fourth-level high-quality monsters."

But Luo Qingni had known him for many years and had a deep understanding of his character, so she naturally did not believe his words.

At that moment, she couldn't help but purse her lips and smiled: "Haha, Brother Zhou, there is no need to explain. Qing Ni won't dig into the details."

After laughing, he said with a serious face: "Qing Ni does not have the recipe for the pill you want, but Qing Ni has recently met a very talented alchemy master, who is sure that he can refine this kind of elixir. If you are willing to provide the demon pill, it should not be a problem for you to take half of the share after the pill is ready!"

"Only half of the share..."

Zhou Chun frowned slightly, looking thoughtful.

Seeing this, Luo Qingni comforted him softly, "Half of the share is not a small amount. Although the auxiliary spiritual medicines needed to refine the elixir with the demon pill are not as rare as the [Jade Dew Golden Cloud Pill], it still requires several thousand-year-old precious medicines. Add to that the cost of the alchemy master himself, this is already a very reasonable distribution method!"

Hearing this, Zhou Chun couldn't help but smile bitterly and nodded, saying, "I understand what you mean, Brother Luo, but I do have a great demand for this kind of elixir that can improve my magical power. Why don't you see if you can discuss it with the alchemy master and see if I can use some rare spiritual materials or even magic weapons in exchange?"

Hearing what he said, Luo Qingni couldn't help but frown slightly, lowered her head and thought for a while before looking at him again and said, "That alchemy master is already in the late Jindan stage. Whether it's magic weapons or magic weapon spiritual materials, I'm afraid they are not worthy of his attention. If Fellow Daoist Zhou really wants to take all the pills, I'm afraid he still has to cater to his preferences!"

"Catering to his taste? I wonder what the alchemy master's hobby is?"

Zhou Chun was slightly stunned, then asked with difficulty following her words.

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingni immediately said slowly: "To become a master of alchemy, in addition to the talent for alchemy, one must also be obsessed with this art. If you want to please him, in addition to those rare elixirs in the world, you must also find rare recipes for elixirs that he has never mastered!"

"What Fellow Daoist Luo means is..."

Zhou Chun narrowed his eyes, as if he understood what Luo Qingni meant.

Meeting his gaze, Luo Qingni nodded and said, "That's right. If Fellow Daoist Zhou is willing to take out the recipe for the Jade Dew Golden Cloud Pill in exchange, the alchemy master will certainly not hesitate to refine the pill for Fellow Daoist Zhou, and he won't charge a penny!"

"But if this is the case, won't Fellow Daoist Luo have to compete with that alchemy master in the future?"

Zhou Chun frowned and looked at her with some concern.

"It's not really a competition. After all, it's not easy to collect the materials needed for this kind of elixir. The alchemy master himself is from a big sect and he won't easily make elixirs for ordinary cultivators!"

Luo Qingni shook her head and replied calmly.

However, Zhou Chun knew that things were not as simple as she said.

After all, the profession of alchemist is more and more difficult as you move up the career ladder. Oftentimes, due to limited opportunities to refine high-level elixirs, alchemists rely on their own unique secret recipes to ensure that they have the opportunity to refine high-level elixirs and continue to improve their alchemy skills.

If Luo Qingni was the only one who knew the recipe for the Jade Dew and Golden Cloud Pill, she only needed to spread the news, and people who needed it would naturally come to her with the materials to make the pill.

But if there was another alchemy master with better skills than her who also mastered this kind of alchemy recipe, she would definitely lose a lot of potential customers.

This shows how much sacrifice she made when she gave this advice.

Zhou Chun hesitated for a long time before nodding towards her with gratitude and said, "I appreciate your kindness, Brother Luo. When the time comes, I will definitely repay you generously!"

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, you are too polite. Originally, this recipe was yours. Qing Ni is still benefiting from you!"

Luo Qingni shook her head and did not accept the favor.

But Zhou Chun had already remembered this favor in his heart, and decided that when his disciple Zhou Zhiying inherited the legacy of the owner of the secret island in the future, he would give her all the alchemy inheritance left by the owner of the secret island to look at, and provide her with the elixirs in it for alchemy.

This can be regarded as a way of repaying her for providing the key to enter and exit the secret island!
After talking about his own alchemy experience, Zhou Chun also talked about refining elixirs such as [Jade Dew and Golden Cloud Pill], [Zeng Yuan Pill], and [Long Ling Pill].

He cannot use these pills himself, but his disciples, Taoist companions and relatives can use them. Since he has decided to exchange the recipe of [Jade Dew and Golden Cloud Pill], it would be best to gather a full batch of materials before the exchange.

Fortunately, Luo Qingni had previously contacted a force that owned the elixir [Qionghua Yulu] for him. Now that he was willing to take out a lower-grade magic weapon as an item of exchange, it was not difficult to exchange for this last main ingredient, and it could also bring him hundreds of thousands of spiritual coins.

After the alchemy matters were finalized, Zhou Chun talked about wanting to invite a formation master to help set up the formation.

Not wanting to listen to his request, Luo Qingni said, "If we want to set up a mountain protection formation, these formation masters in Tianyuan Immortal City may not be the best choice. They are better at breaking formations and refining various formation tools!"

"Is there such a thing?"

Zhou Chun was slightly surprised, but he had not expected this.

He looked at Luo Qingni with a worried look on his face and asked, "Does Brother Luo have any other suitable candidates to recommend?"

"Qing Ni knows that there is a family that has passed down the art of formation. His ancestors once had a master of formation who helped a major sect to set up a mountain protection formation. This should be able to meet your needs, Brother Zhou."

Luo Qingni nodded slightly and quickly told the information she knew.

But she only provided one piece of information and could not help Zhou Chun to be the middleman because she had no relationship with that formation family.

After listening to the information she provided, Zhou Chun had no choice but to give it a try and rushed to the mountain gate of the formation family first.

The surname of this formation family is Gongsun. Although it is also a Jindan family, it is quite low-key in the Great Zhou Kingdom and its number of members does not seem to be large.

The Gongsun family has passed down the art of formations, and there have been formation masters in the family from generation to generation. Even many large sects cannot compare with their attainments in formations.

Therefore, even some large sects would sometimes ask the Gongsun family's formation masters to help set up or repair formations.

After all, some large sects that do not have deep roots cannot guarantee that there will be formation masters in every generation.

Following Luo Qingni's instructions, Zhou Chun easily found the gate of the Gongsun family and handed in a visiting card.

Not long after this, a white-haired old man with the cultivation base of the middle stage of the Golden Core flew out from the mountain gate of the Gongsun Family. He bowed to Zhou Chun from a distance and said, "My name is Gongsun Xuanlu. May I ask what your name is? What is the matter with you coming to my Gongsun Family?"

"I'm Zhou Zhengchun, nice to meet you, Daoist Gongsun."

Zhou Chun immediately returned the greeting with a bow, then looked at the white-haired old man with a sincere face and said, "Fellow Daoist Gongsun, please forgive me for coming to your house to disturb you because we need to set up several forbidden formations to rebuild our family's mountain gate, but we are having trouble finding a suitable formation master. After being advised by others, I learned that the Gongsun family has passed down the art of formations from generation to generation, and there are many formation masters, so I came here specifically to ask the master to come out and help!"
