Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Qinglian Mountains.

However, after Zhou Chun returned to his family, he immediately handed over all the purchased materials for setting up the formation to Zhang Liang, and asked him to cooperate with the Gongsun brothers and sisters to set up the formation according to the situation.

Then he also distributed the [Jade Dew and Golden Cloud Pill] in his hand.

First, he gave one to Lin Hongyu, asking her to try to reach the middle stage of the Golden Core.

By the same token, Su Yuzhen, who was about to touch the barrier of the middle stage of the Golden Core, also got one.

After thinking about the remaining four elixirs, Zhou Chun went to Yuelun Sect in person and gave one to Su Yunniang as a way of thanking her for her care in information and intelligence over the years, and also to deepen the relationship between the two sides.

In this way, he will temporarily keep the last three elixirs. If Zhou Mingde or Zhou Daoyi want to try to break through to the middle stage of the Golden Core in the future, he can give them one to try, or use it to exchange treasures with other Golden Core stage cultivators.

From then on, Zhou Chun personally participated in the construction of the [Yi Mu Pan Long Formation], using his magical powers to split mountains and rocks to speed up the arrangement of the formation.

After two years of hard work, with the joint efforts of the Gongsun brothers and sisters, the [Yi Mu Pan Long Formation] was finally successfully set up.

Once this formation was completed, it immediately covered the area of ​​more than 100 miles centered on Qinglian Peak. The overall coverage area reached about one third of the previous Qinglian Temple's mountain protection formation.

But it is only one-third of the area, which is obviously not enough and will waste a lot of spiritual land.

Therefore, we will continue to arrange a series of formations on those vacant areas to develop them.

But that is a matter for the future after all. We have to wait until the Zhou family is no longer short of manpower and material resources before we can do this.

By that time, the Gongsun brothers and sisters would not be needed, and Zhang Liang, the formation master trained by the Zhou family, would be able to do the job.

Therefore, after the [Yi Mu Pan Long Formation] was successfully arranged, Zhou Chun tested the power of the formation a little bit and then began to settle the rewards for the brother and sister.

"You two young friends' skills are indeed good. This formation is indeed very much to my liking. I wonder how you two young friends would like to pay me?"

On the Qinglian Peak, Zhou Chun called the Gongsun brothers and sisters to his side and asked about their reward with a smile on his face.

In fact, they had never talked about this matter before.

Because Zhou Chun was very confident, the two men could not blackmail him.

The Gongsun siblings also knew that Zhou Chun would never deny his responsibility for such a matter.

After hearing his words, Gongsun Yuanji immediately said, "Senior Zhou, please understand. For the reward, we would like to ask for a thousand-year-old elixir, preferably one that can replenish Qi and nourish the essence!"

"That's easy to say. I have some of these spiritual medicines in my hands, as well as many similar spiritual pills. Young friend Gongsun, take a look and see which ones you want!"

Zhou Chun nodded slightly, and quickly took out the elixirs and pills he had with him for the brother and sister to check. He also told them the names of some elixirs that he didn't have with him.

Gongsun Yuanji was both surprised and delighted to see him take out a variety of elixirs that met his needs so easily.

After being polite to him, he hurriedly picked up the elixirs and medicines and gave them to Gongsun Yuanzhi to smell one by one.

Obviously, his intention in exchanging these qi-replenishing and essence-nourishing elixirs was to heal Gongsun Yuanzhi's injuries and prolong his life!

During the past two years, Zhou Chun had already figured out the causes and consequences of Gongsun Yuanzhi's injury, as well as the extent of her internal injuries through questioning and investigation.

Knowing that she was injured by a vicious water-attributed magical power, all of her meridians and internal organs suffered irreparable injuries, and her life force was lost at a rate dozens of times faster than that of a normal person.

The only way to save her life now is to give her those elixirs and magic medicines that can replenish her vital energy regularly to double the lost vital energy.

This situation is much more difficult than the one Zhou Chun encountered with Wu Yuzhu, because she has basically lost the possibility of practicing. Unless she can be given a new body, or some legendary elixir can be used to help her rebuild her meridians and body, there is no way she can recover.

However, she might not be willing to do the former. At the same time, it would be quite difficult for a Purple Mansion Stage cultivator to successfully take over another body.

Even if the latter really existed, it was not something she could enjoy.

Gongsun Yuanji no longer expected to cure his sister Gongsun Yuanzhi's injuries, he just hoped to let her live a few more years.

At this time, after Gongsun Yuanzhi explained the properties of the medicine to him, he pointed to the three thousand-year-old elixirs and stated his choice.

It turns out that for Gongsun Yuanzhi, the pure life energy contained in the thousand-year-old elixir is more useful than those elixirs that replenish qi and nourish the essence.

"In this case, these three spiritual herbs will belong to you two young friends."

Zhou Chun waved his hand and allocated the three spiritual herbs to Gongsun Yuanji, and collected the other spiritual herbs and elixirs.

Originally, at this point, the commission between the two parties was considered settled, and the Gongsun brothers and sisters should return to the Great Zhou Kingdom.

But Zhou Chun suddenly looked at the Gongsun siblings and said, "I have also seen Miss Gongsun's attainments in formations. If you two Taoist friends are willing to stay at the Zhou family and serve as guest officials, I dare not say anything else. I can still provide a thousand-year-old spiritual medicine every ten years. In addition, as long as you two Taoist friends help the Zhou family set up formations, you can also accumulate contributions to exchange for thousand-year-old spiritual medicines!"

Instead, he directly extended an olive branch to the brother and sister, trying to recruit them.

"This one……"

Gongsun Yuanji's expression changed, and he immediately had some intention.

Unexpectedly, Gongsun Yuanzhi shook her head and refused, "I appreciate your kindness, but we are members of the Gongsun family after all, and it is not appropriate for us to live in the Zhou family for a long time!"

"Sister, you..."

Gongsun Yuanji looked at his sister with a complicated expression. He didn't expect her to say that.

Zhou Chun was a little surprised by this, but he still nodded and said, "Well, since Miss Gongsun has no intention of doing this, I will not force you. Have a safe journey, my two friends."

"Then we two juniors will not bother you any more."

Gongsun Yuanzhi responded respectfully, then grabbed Gongsun Yuanji's wrist, motioning him to take her away.

At this point, Gongsun Yuanji had no choice but to bow to Zhou Chun and leave with his sister.

After the two of them left the Qinglian Mountains, Gongsun Yuanji quickly brought his sister to a deserted mountain. He then looked at his sister angrily and said, "Sister, why were you so anxious to reject Senior Zhou's kindness? Besides, we have both been expelled from the Gongsun Family, so it's no big deal if we join other forces as guest officials!"

Hearing his words, Gongsun Yuanzhi immediately shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Brother, you are confused! Think about it, apart from our ability to set up the forbidden formation, what other skills do we have that are worth spending so much to recruit us?"

"You have seen Zhang Liang's abilities in the past two years. Apart from the fact that he lacks a famous teacher and his learning is a bit messy, he is already good enough to set up some ordinary forbidden formations. He is fully capable of setting up the formations in the remaining spiritual lands of the Zhou family!"

"Under such circumstances, what do you think they are planning to spend a lot of money to recruit the two of us to stay?"

Gongsun Yuanji's expression suddenly changed, and he blurted out with a look of surprise and doubt: "Sister, do you mean that Senior Zhou has taken a fancy to our family's formation inheritance?"

"Besides this, I can't think of anything else about us that is worth remembering!"

Gongsun Yuanzhi replied in a low voice.

But after Gongsun Yuanji's expression changed for a while, he quickly calmed down and questioned rationally: "This shouldn't be the case! From the previous conversation with Zhang Liang, we know that the formation inheritance owned by the Zhou family is not bad. It's just that there has not been a truly talented person to connect the system in series to form a master-disciple inheritance system!"

"Besides, my sister, you and I have both practiced secret techniques. If our souls are forcibly searched, our spirits will collapse immediately. We have also sworn not to pass on our family's knowledge to others. It is impossible for you and me to inherit the Gongsun family's formation art!"

Gongsun Yuanzhi didn't know how to refute him for a moment, and finally could only say: "In short, it's better to be careful. Although we have been expelled from the family, we still have to abide by the family rules and can't let the hard work of our ancestors be stolen by outsiders!"

Gongsun Yuanji heard that this was indeed the truth, so he did not talk about it any more. He just nodded and said, "Okay, sister, what you said does make some sense, but the three thousand-year-old spiritual herbs we got this time are not enough for you to use for long. I think we should stay in Jingguo Xiuxian Realm for a while and take on some more commissions for setting up formations. It just so happens that many families here are busy rebuilding their mountain gates, so we can raise the price!"

"There is no need for this. Three spiritual herbs are enough for me for ten years. With this buffer period, I should be able to complete the formation book and restore the incomplete formation. This will be enough to make up for my guilt of losing the family treasure and give an explanation to the family!"

Gongsun Yuanzhi shook her head slightly but did not agree with his proposal.

But Gongsun Yuanji didn't listen to her this time. He just looked at her firmly and said, "Sister, you can't die so soon. At least not before the family finds that guy! I will make sure you live until the day that guy is killed by the family!"

After saying this, he stopped looking at Gongsun Yuanzhi's suddenly ugly face and waved his hand without allowing any arguments, saying, "It's settled. Let's go to the nearby market first!"

Not to mention what the Gongsun brothers and sisters were planning, after Zhou Chun confirmed that the mountain protection formation could be used, he began to recruit people and started the reconstruction work in a big way.

In recent years, the Zhou family has made several plans on how to develop the Qinglian Mountains.

Generally speaking, there are two main aspects.

On the one hand, it is natural to give full play to the advantages of the Zhou family's inherited skills, utilize the vast area of ​​the Qinglian Mountains, raise various monsters, and produce a stable amount of monster materials and mounts, so as to carry forward the golden signboard of "Beast Taming Zhou Family".

On the other hand, they opened up many medicinal gardens and forest farms, and planted a large number of various magical herbs and trees.

In addition to the main spiritual vein with Qinglian Peak as the center, the Qinglian Mountains also have many branches. In the past, many of these branches were developed into private caves by the monks of the Qinglian Temple, and were passed down from master to apprentice from generation to generation.

It is impossible for the Zhou family to have as many disciples as the Qinglian Temple, and most of these branches cannot be used for the time being.

Therefore, in order to avoid wasting them, using them to plant spiritual medicines and spiritual trees is the best choice. Many spiritual medicines and spiritual trees that do not require meticulous care can grow very well as long as they have a suitable growth environment.

In short, any place that can be used should not be allowed to continue to be abandoned, and its value must be maximized to the greatest extent possible.

However, although the idea is good, it cannot be implemented in a short period of time.

You must know that in the previous beast tide war, the Zhou family lost the two mountain gate spiritual places of Jiufengling and Tuyunling in succession, and sold many monsters in advance, resulting in a significant reduction in the number of various monsters originally raised in the family, and even some common species were temporarily extinct!

Even though there are now vast spiritual pastures, it will take more than ten or eight years for these monsters to revive their populations.

So for the time being, the Zhou family can only clear the place so that these monsters can enjoy the best living environment and speed up their reproduction.

During this period, Zhou Chun also released the three spirit pets that had almost digested the power of a demon pill, letting them find a place in the mountains where they liked to build a nest and live.

But what he didn't expect was that the three spirit pets didn't want to go out and occupy the mountain as king, and they all wanted to stay with him near Qinglian Peak.

In this situation, he couldn't force them, so he let the Thunder Dragon live in a pool of water with rich spiritual energy on the Qinglian Peak, while the Golden Winged Tiger and the Flame Hell Fire Phoenix were free to move around anywhere in the mountains as they pleased.

Anyway, these three fourth-level monsters have already been exposed and are well known to the Zhou family members and outsiders. Even if they often appear in front of people, nothing will happen.

As for Zhou Chun himself, he naturally occupied the best cave for cultivation on Qinglian Peak.

Originally, he was going to give this cultivation cave to Master Tianjing, but the other party refused and did not even stay on Qinglian Peak. Instead, he lived in seclusion alone on a mountain not far away.

Zhou Chun wasn't sure what he was thinking, but since he did this, there was nothing he could do about it.

Although he occupied the best position on Qinglian Peak, Zhou Chun's current training environment was naturally far inferior to that of Qingxiao Zhenren who occupied this place at that time.

After the gate of Qinglian Temple was breached, all the spiritual objects that Qinglian Temple had collected were taken away, and those that could not be taken away immediately were taken away by the fifth-level demon kings behind.

The huge spiritual spring on the mountain has now become an ordinary spiritual pond. The water in the pond is different from the ordinary water outside only because of the rich spiritual energy of this place.

Zhou Chun could only place his own spiritual spring not far away, and then built several palaces and pavilions around the spring.

What made him feel a little relieved was that after the "Qingling Xiangui" tree stump was taken out, it quickly began to absorb the power of the Spirit Eye Spring again and transformed. This opportunity was not interrupted because it was put away at that time.

The spiritual vein grade of Qinglian Peak is more than enough to support the consumption of the Spirit Eye Spring to nourish this thing. Zhou Chun no longer has to worry about the Spirit Eye Spring shrinking due to his cultivation nearby.

The only drawback is that due to the nature of the spiritual veins in Qinglian Peak, Zhou Chun, who practices gold-attributed techniques, is unable to fully utilize the spiritual veins in this area to enhance his practice.

The effect of his cultivation here was better than in Tuyunling, but not as good as originally expected.

After meditating in seclusion on Qinglian Peak for more than a year, Zhou Chun calculated the time and went to the Great Zhou Kingdom again.

He was lucky. Luo Qingni had successfully retrieved the elixir from the alchemy master and handed it over to Zhou Daoyi.

This elixir called [Huanzhen Pill] is very peculiar. Its main ingredient is the fourth-level demon pill. The efficacy varies depending on the grade of the demon pill.

Pills made from fourth-grade low-quality demon pills can only be used to improve the magic power of early-stage golden elixir cultivators.

The pills made from fourth-grade high-quality demon pills have good effects on cultivators in the late Jindan stage.

Zhou Chun is only in the middle stage of the Golden Core cultivation base, so using the [Return to True Pill] which is made from the fourth-grade top-grade demon pill is the best way to achieve the best effect.

And because the demon pill he used was perfectly compatible with his own attributes, the effect of this furnace of [Huanzhen Pill] on him would be even better.

With the alchemy master taking action, the number of successful pills was naturally guaranteed, and a total of eight elixirs were produced.

After Zhou Chun got the pill back, he couldn't wait to take one and entered a state of seclusion.

This retreat lasted about ten months.

After completely refining the [Huan Zhen Pill], Zhou Chun's increased magical power was equivalent to about twelve years of meditation on Qinglian Peak.

According to the alchemy master, the [Return to True Pill] made from fourth-grade top-quality demon pill is roughly equivalent to saving a cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core the equivalent of ten years of hard training.

With such a detailed calculation, eight [Return to Trueness Pills] could save Zhou Chun nearly a hundred years of hard training.

After he has taken these elixirs and practiced for about a hundred years, he should be able to touch the barrier of the late Jindan stage.

"A hundred years should be just right. Ying'er will definitely be in the late Purple Mansion stage by then. I also have a hundred years to collect the materials for the [Four Spirits Barrier Breaking Pill]!"

After Zhou Chun made an estimate in his mind, a satisfied smile suddenly appeared on his face.

According to his calculations, if everything goes well, perhaps within two hundred years, he would be able to begin to transform the elixir into a fetus!

And if one can successfully transform the elixir into a fetus before the age of 500, he will have more time to pursue a higher level in the future.

You know, although the higher the level of cultivation of the immortal cultivator, the longer his lifespan will be, but in fact, for the higher the level of cultivator, the lifespan will never be enough.

A Jindan stage cultivator may need to practice for one or two hundred years to reach the peak of his current small realm.

However, the time spent by a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage would be several times higher.

After some immortal cultivators successfully transform the elixir into a fetus, due to various factors, they may not be able to cultivate to the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage until thousands of years later.

In this case, let’s not talk about whether they can break through the barrier of the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

Even if they really broke through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, the remaining lifespan would not be enough for them to make a breakthrough to a higher level.

Therefore, if you can successfully transform the elixir and form an infant earlier, you can have hundreds of more years to practice in the future.

Perhaps it would be through these extra hundreds of years that I could finally reach the pinnacle of that realm!
However, although the [Huan Zhen Pill] is useful, Zhou Chun did not take this elixir continuously in order to minimize drug resistance and the effects of erysipelas.

He planned to take one elixir every ten years, which should maximize the effect of the elixir.

What is foreseeable is that it would be almost impossible for him to hire someone to refine a second batch of this elixir.

After all, the remaining golden unicorn demon pill in his hand was to be kept specifically for the golden-winged tiger, to be used in the future to break through the fourth-grade upper realm.

And even if he was willing to take out this magic pill and ask someone to refine it, he would not be willing to let someone take half of the finished elixir.

That day, Zhou Chun suddenly seemed to have sensed something, and soon after a conversation with Zhou Mingde, he suddenly left the Qinglian Mountains and secretly went to the wilderness.

After arriving at Longyuanze through the underground waterway, he did not go to the Caiyushan stronghold, but went directly to the base of the Black Spear tribe of the Scaled Frog alien race.

When they arrived near the Black Spear Tribe, Zhou Chun quickly took out a token and summoned Bahar, the high priest of the Scaled Frog Alien Tribe, to his presence.

"Bahar greets Senior Zhou. I wonder what you want me to do by suddenly calling me here."

Facing Zhou Chun, whose cultivation level was one major realm higher than his, Bahar appeared very respectful.

Zhou Chun did not bother to be polite with the alien chief priest of the scaly frog tribe, and immediately gave an order: "I suddenly summoned you, Chief Priest Bahar, today to ask you to go to Longyuan and retrieve the item that Chief Priest Ukulu placed there for me."

"This one……"

Bahar immediately looked embarrassed and hesitant, and did not agree immediately.

Zhou Chun's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "Why? High Priest Bahar, do you have any opinion?"

"Juniors don't dare!"

Bahar quickly bent down and said in a panic, "Senior, please understand. It's not that I don't want to. It's just that the situation in Longyuan Marsh is different from before. There are many more patrolling monsters near Longyuan. Many of our warlocks have died at the hands of those monsters because they went too deep into the marsh to search for spiritual objects!"

"Oh, the patrol area of ​​the 'Dragon Court Warriors' is not limited to Longyuan?"

Zhou Chun's eyes flickered slightly, and he was somewhat surprised by the news revealed by Bahar.

But he did not give up the idea. He quickly stared at Bahar and said, "Ordinary warlocks are naturally no match for those patrolling monsters. But Bahar, as a third-level warlock, you have a unique talent in concealing your breath. It should not be easy for those patrolling monsters to find you."

"Besides, this is what High Priest Ukulu promised Zhou. As his successor, Bahar, are you going to go against the agreement he made with Zhou?"

At the end of his words, there was a hint of threat in Zhou Chun's voice.

But he had already made up his mind. If Bahar really didn't know how to appreciate his kindness, he would have to find another high priest for the Black Spear Tribe!
Bahar seemed to sense the murderous intent in his heart, and was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Bahar dare not! Bahar will do it right away, and do it according to Senior Zhou's instructions!"

"That's good. I'll wait for your good news here."

Zhou Chun glanced at the scaly frog alien on the ground, his expression relaxed slightly, and he was quite satisfied with its timely repentance.
