Chapter 629 Defects [Subscription Request]

On the bank of Longyuan Lake.

Zhou Chun sat cross-legged on top of a mountain, gazing at the misty water in front of him, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

The reason why he came here in a hurry and asked Bahar, the high priest of the alien scaly frog race, to go to Longyuan to get something for him was because he sensed that the backup plan he had arranged had been triggered.

Many years ago, he captured the killer of the Ice Prison Gate. However, because he was afraid of the Ice Prison Gate behind him, he did not dare to kill him. He could only use the secret magic method "Sealing Souls and Suppressing Corpses" to seal him in a soul-sealing coffin, and then asked Batulu, the then high priest of the Scaled Frog alien race, to send him to the Longyuan Sealed Coffin deep in Longyuan Lake.

This method of deliberately creating confusion did help him resolve the subsequent threat from the Ice Prison Sect, and he did not have to face this killer sect head-on again.

Over the years, in order to strengthen the seal, he also asked Baturu to go and retrieve the Soul-Sealing Coffin and send it back.

This time, the backup plan he had arranged was triggered. No one knew whether a monster discovered the Soul-Sealing Coffin and destroyed it, triggering the backup plan he had left, or whether the killer sealed inside had undergone some abnormal change.

If it was the former, Bahar's trip would have been in vain, and he wouldn't have to clean up the rest.

In Longyuan, even a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage cannot make any waves.

If it's the latter, that would be quite interesting!

Time passed slowly, and after waiting for about thirty-four days, Zhou Chun finally waited for Bahar to come back.

"Senior Zhou, Bahar has fulfilled his mission and brought back what you wanted!"

On the top of the mountain, Bahar, who looked a little depressed, handed a body bag to Zhou Chun, then quietly stepped aside and waited.

Zhou Chun saw this and was not in a hurry to check the corpse bag. He just nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Bahar. Next time we trade, I will ask the family to give you an extra fifty Black Lotus Pills as a gift."

Hearing his words, Bahar immediately thanked him profusely.

Then Zhou Chun waved his hand, took the body bag and left alone.

This made Bahar, who still wanted to see what was inside the soul-sealed coffin, feel a sense of loss.

In fact, ever since he was taken by High Priest Baturu to see the soul-sealing coffin, he has been very curious about what is inside.

When I went to get this thing this time, I hesitated many times whether to open it and take a look.

Anyway, even if something goes wrong, we can blame it on the monsters, saying that the things have been discovered by the monsters and opened in advance.

But every time he wanted to do that, he couldn't help but think of the warning given by High Priest Baturu, and finally he resisted the urge.

He originally thought that after the thing fell into Zhou Chun's hands, he would be able to taste what he wanted and satisfy his curiosity.

But he didn't expect that Zhou Chun had no intention of opening the Soul-Sealing Coffin in front of him!
After Zhou Chun separated from Bahar and took the body bag, he went straight to somewhere in the wilderness.

After traveling for a while, he arrived at the place where Zhou Daoquan was practicing.

After transforming into a ghost cultivator, Zhou Daoquan was trapped in this evil place.

Previously, when a tide of beasts attacked Jingguo, even though he was worried about the safety of his family, he was unable to help at all.

Fortunately, the Zhou family did not suffer heavy losses in the beast tide, and they also obtained the Qinglian Mountains, a blessed land. He was very happy after hearing the news.

At this time, Zhou Chun came here, and he quickly discovered him through the little ghost he raised, and immediately appeared in front of Zhou Chun.

Then he looked at Zhou Chun in surprise and asked, "Zhengchun, you are not in Qinglian Mountain Range, why do you have time to come to me today?"

"I just happened to come here to deal with an old matter, and by the way, I came to visit you!"

Zhou Chun smiled slightly and waved his hand to take off the body bag around his waist.

"Hey, this is a body bag, right? Zhengchun, why are you carrying this thing?"

Zhou Daoquan's attention was quickly attracted by the body bag in Zhou Chun's hand. He couldn't help but let out a surprised sound and looked at him with surprise.

Zhou Chun did not rush to answer, but just used his magic power to release the soul-sealing coffin inside.

"This is a soul-sealing coffin. Could it be that a powerful zombie is sealed inside?"

Zhou Daoquan couldn't help but speak again.

"Whether it is or not, you will know after opening it."

Zhou Chun responded and opened the lid of the soul-sealing coffin.

As the coffin lid was opened, a fishy smell gushed out of the coffin, and then a figure surrounded by blue-black corpse aura jumped out of the coffin and rushed towards Zhou Chun following the scent of living people.

But Zhou Chun was prepared for this. Golden light immediately emerged from his body, forming a golden shield that protected him.

The figure crashed into the glowing shield, but couldn't even make it shake.

Zhou Chun also took this opportunity to see the figure clearly.

This person still had the general outline of the Ice Prison Gate killer, but his head was swollen and much larger, with zombie-like fangs growing in his mouth and his eyes were like dead fish eyes.

After being blocked by the protective magic cast by Zhou Chun at this time, the beast immediately roared and spit out a blue-black evil spirit from its mouth, hitting the rosy shield in front.

Under the bombardment of this extremely cold and evil spirit, the rosy shield was shaking violently. A cold feeling was transmitted to Zhou Chun's heart through the shield, making him feel his soul chilled and his thinking speed seemed to slow down a lot.

This situation also surprised him, and he hurriedly practiced the "Heart Lotus Dharma" to clear his mind and concentrate.

Afterwards, he stopped allowing the zombie to attack him and directly waved his sleeves to summon the [Dragon-Tiger Golden Ring]. The two rings bound the zombie's hands and feet and imprisoned it.

The power of a top-grade magic weapon is obviously not something a fourth-order low-grade zombie that has just been successfully transformed can resist.

After being imprisoned, the beast kept roaring and struggling, but could hardly move a step.

At this time, Zhou Daoquan also recovered from his shock and pointed at the zombie and exclaimed to Zhou Chun: "Fourth-level psychic zombie, Zhengchun, where did you find this monster?"

"This matter is complicated. I will explain it to you slowly later."

Zhou Chun replied, then looked at the zombie with a serious expression.

To be honest, he didn't expect that the Ice Prison Gate killer who had been sealed for many years by him using the "Soul Sealing and Corpse Suppression Art" would actually be transformed into a zombie!
This result was completely beyond his expectations.

After looking at the zombie for a while, Zhou Chun turned to Zhou Daoquan and asked, "Uncle, do you have any way to take down this beast and seal its consciousness?"

Zhou Daoquan was stunned when he heard this, and then he replied in a deep voice: "If Zhengchun can suppress the evil spirit in its body, I can give it a try!"

"This is simple."

Zhou Chun responded, then slapped the spirit beast bag on his waist and released the Thunder Dragon Baibai.

Afterwards, Lei Jiaobai spit out lightning from his mouth and kept striking the zombie, consuming the evil energy in its body.

Before long, most of the evil energy in the zombie's body was consumed, and its breath suddenly became extremely weak.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Daoquan immediately made hand gestures and cast a spell, trying to use the secret ghost technique to seal the zombie's consciousness.

Originally, it was basically impossible to try to seal the consciousness of a fourth-order zombie, which was equivalent to a Jindan-stage cultivator, with the cultivation level of the Purple Mansion stage.

But on the one hand, ghost cultivators are already quite good at this, and on the other hand, the zombie was newly transformed after all, and had not drunk blood yet, so its ferocious aura was somewhat lacking in comparison.

After some attempts, Zhou Daoquan actually sealed his consciousness.

After sealing the zombie in this way, Zhou Chun also removed the magic weapon, put it back into the soul-sealing coffin, and closed the coffin lid.

"Now Zhengchun, can you tell me the origin of this zombie?"

As soon as Zhou Chun closed the coffin lid, Zhou Daoquan couldn't wait to ask the previous questions.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun could only tell what he had done.

After listening to his story, Zhou Daoquan was also incredulous. He couldn't help but whispered, "So, you only sealed the half-corpse killer of the Ice Prison Gate for less than a hundred years, and turned him into a fourth-level psychic zombie!"

No wonder he was so surprised.

If a fourth-order psychic zombie is really so easy to train, the strength of the Corpse Demon Cult would not be that limited.

In fact, even if one had a complete corpse of a Jindan-stage cultivator, and used the Corpse Demon Cult's unique corpse-refining secret technique and various precious materials to cultivate it, the probability of being able to train it into a fourth-order psychic zombie was less than 30%!

"I don't know why this is happening, but the fact is what you see now."

Zhou Chun frowned, also confused and feeling that this was very strange.

However, all kinds of strange things happen all the time in the world, and not every abnormality can be explained.

So he and Zhou Daoquan did not continue to investigate the matter at this time.

Zhou Daoquan quickly looked at him and asked, "So what are you going to do with this zombie now?"

"After all, this beast was a Jindan-stage cultivator of the Ice Prison Sect when he was alive. It is better not to provoke this killer sect. I think it is better to destroy it, lest it has some difficult-to-detect tricks and be found by the Ice Prison Sect!"

After hesitating for a while, Zhou Chun finally expressed his thoughts.

Hearing what he said, Zhou Daoquan couldn't help but shake his head and said, "That's such a waste! Such a gifted fourth-level psychic zombie is much more valuable than a fourth-level puppet. It's such a waste to destroy it like this!"

"What you mean is..."

Zhou Chun looked at Zhou Daoquan in surprise, somewhat surprised by his words.

Facing his surprise and confusion, Zhou Daoquan said frankly: "In the ghost cultivation method that I practice, there is a secret method that can sacrifice these psychic zombies to become corpse servant clones. If I can practice this method, I can leave this place with my clone!"

Hearing this, Zhou Chun fell silent.

"Well, in that case, I'll leave this beast to you to deal with!"

After a long silence, Zhou Chun finally sighed and agreed to Zhou Daoquan's request.

Afterwards, he left the Soul-Sealing Coffin behind, took the other relics of the Ice Prison Gate Killer and left this evil place.

When they were far away, Zhou Chun looked back and forgot about the evil place behind him, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

In fact, he had known for a long time that once he transformed into a ghost cultivator, in addition to the defects and taboos recorded in the ghost cultivation method, there was another defect that was difficult to state clearly.

That is, without the shackles of flesh and blood, consciousness is gradually infected and distorted by the ghostly aura and evil spirits of the underworld, temperament changes drastically, and one tends to become much more selfish!
If Zhou Daoquan was the ghost cultivator before he transformed, he would definitely put the overall situation first and would not insist on keeping the thing for his own selfish interests when he knew that leaving the psychic zombie behind might bring hidden dangers.

But now, his personality has obviously changed!

Maybe he himself didn't notice this change, but Zhou Chun knew that he had really changed.

Of course, Zhou Chun could have refused Zhou Daoquan's request and left no hidden dangers for himself and the Zhou family.

But if he really did that, even if Zhou Daoquan didn't argue with him now, it would definitely accelerate the distortion of his character and cause an irreparable rift in their relationship!

That was something Zhou Chun didn't want to see even more.

After all, it was he who persuaded Zhou Daoquan to try the ghost cultivation method.

Anyway, he had originally planned to bring the killer back and kill him with one sword, so this could be considered as achieving his goal.

Anyway, in the eyes of outsiders, the Zhou family is protected by Tianjing Zhenren, a Yuanying stage cultivator. If you want to touch the Zhou family, you must first think about how to get past Tianjing Zhenren!
However, the fact that Zhou Daoquan's mind and will had begun to twist and change was irreversible. In the future, Zhou Chun could only try to have fewer conversations with him on certain important matters and not let him participate in important decisions of the Zhou family.

So when returning to Qinglian Mountains, Zhou Chun also stopped by Caiyu Mountain stronghold to inspect and encourage the cultivators there.

After returning to his cave, he took out the remains of the Ice Prison Gate killer and examined them.

After capturing the killer, Zhou Chun counted his belongings and kept everything he could.

The relics he retrieved now were nothing more than his natal flying sword made from [Ten Thousand Years Ice Crystal] and the white robe that could conceal his aura and face.

Because the killer himself could be considered dead, the flying sword of his natal sword now looked somewhat dull.

However, the value of this item does not lie in its grade as a mid-level magical weapon, but in its special material.

[Ten Thousand Years Ice Crystal] is a very special top-grade ice-attributed spiritual material, enough to be used to refine top-grade magic weapons!

And a very special thing about this item is that the treasures made with it naturally possess the characteristics of being invisible and shadowless, and are excellent materials for refining magical weapons such as invisible flying swords and invisible needles.

Although the flying sword in Zhou Chun's hand had been refined by the killer, because the sword was made purely from [Ten Thousand Years Ice Crystal] without any other spiritual materials added, it did not damage the spirituality of the spiritual material itself.

If it were to be refined by a master weapon refiner, the sword could be re-tempered into raw materials to be used to refine the treasure of one's choice.

Such a large piece of [Ten Thousand Years Ice Crystal] is more than enough to exchange for a top-grade magic weapon if a Nascent Soul cultivator in need of it is encountered. It can be said to be a rare treasure.

If Zhou Chun keeps this item in his hands, even if he transforms into an elixir and forms an infant in the future, he can still use it to exchange resources with other Nascent Soul cultivators.

As for the robe, Zhou Chun no longer had any fear and directly refined it, intending to use it when needed in the future.

Time passed slowly, and soon another year had passed.

At this time, Lin Hongyu, who had been in seclusion after taking the [Jade Dew Golden Cloud Pill], came out.

She was very lucky and successfully broke through to the middle stage of the Golden Core with the help of this elixir, which proved that this elixir did have the effect of assisting in breaking through the realm barrier.

After the breakthrough in her cultivation, Lin Hongyu was very happy. She came over to thank Zhou Chun specially, and then went to the Great Zhou Kingdom to find her Taoist partner Zhou Daoyi to share the good news.

Her success also gave Su Yuzhen motivation, so he simply moved to the Qinglian Mountains and practiced dual cultivation with Zhou Chun to speed up his own cultivation progress.

This would be beneficial to the practice of both of them, so Zhou Chun naturally would not resist.

On this day, Zhou Chun was practicing in the cave when he suddenly received a message from Zhou Xinyan.

After reading the content of the message, he quickly responded.

After a while, Zhou Xinyan brought someone to his cave. That person was Gongsun Yuanji who had left earlier.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately took the initiative to ask, "How come Daoist Gongsun has time to come to the Zhou family? Daoist you haven't returned to the Great Zhou Kingdom yet?"

Hearing his words, Gongsun Yuanji immediately bowed to him with a guilty look on his face, and said, "Senior Zhou, please understand. I have the audacity to come to your door today to ask for a favor. I beg you to be so kind as to save my sister!"

Hearing this, Zhou Chun couldn't help but frowned and asked, "What do you mean, Brother Gongsun? What happened to your sister?"

"To be honest, senior, after we left the Qinglian Mountains, we have been taking on the work of setting up mountain protection formations for other immortal cultivation families in Jingguo. Recently, when we were setting up a formation for a family in Cangzhou, there was a mistake in the exploration of the local veins, which led to an accident in the formation arrangement and damaged many materials. The Wei family in Cangzhou detained my sister and asked us to pay compensation!"

Gongsun Yuanji said with a helpless and bitter face, "But you, Senior Zhou, also know that our family is not rich. The Wei family is asking for a huge sum of money, and asked us to double the compensation for their losses. How can we afford it?"

"So this is ah!"

Zhou Chun nodded, and then said: "The Wei family is also a Jindan family. Since you two brothers and sisters accepted their mission and messed up, it is only natural that you should compensate for the losses. I think Fellow Daoist Gongsun cannot deny this!"

"Yes, I understand this, but I am really short of money..."

Gongsun Yuanji nodded, then looked at Zhou Chun with a pleading look.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly, saying, "How about this, I can help you pay the compensation, but you need to work in the Zhou family to pay it back. When you pay it back, we can talk about leaving!"

"Thank you, Senior Zhou. Thank you, Senior Zhou. Your kindness will be unforgettable to me!"

Gongsun Yuanji's face lit up with joy and he thanked him profusely.

He didn't dare to expect Zhou Chun to help him for free. He was already satisfied to be able to help with compensation and rescue his sister first.
