Beast-controlling fairy clan.

In the wilderness, there is the Caiyushan stronghold.

Zhou Chun has been recuperating here for more than a year.

Ever since he wrote to the Yuelun Sect and the Yanyang Sect, expressing his willingness to offer top-grade magic weapons, the two sects no longer urged him to send people to the Qinglian Mountains, obviously agreeing with his statement.

Of course, for more specific matters, he must wait until he recovers from his injuries and then go to the two factions in person to discuss.

Perhaps the top leaders of both factions were also curious about how he killed Qing Weizi, who possessed a top-grade magic weapon, and how much he gained in Tongmuling.

And it is not known whether the two factions intentionally concealed the truth and controlled public opinion, but the news of the massacre at Qinglian Temple has not yet spread in Yasukuni Shrine.

From this, it can be seen that the two factions have no intention of using this opportunity to severely punish the Zhou family.

Otherwise, if they spread the matter, they could just as well use public opinion to impose heavy penalties on the Zhou family.

Zhou Chun was also aware of this, so he did not move for more than a year, and has been recuperating from his injuries.

Now, after more than a year of rest, his injuries have recovered a lot and it no longer affects his normal travel.

However, in order to create the illusion that he was seriously injured in that battle, he did not plan to show up now.

He just calmed down and continued to recuperate and practice at the Caiyushan base, and at the same time practiced the latter part of "The True Method of the Heart Lotus".

This "Heart Lotus Orthodoxy" has a total of five levels. The third level requires the Jindan stage to be successfully practiced, and the fifth level requires the Yuanying stage to be successfully practiced!

Zhou Chun has successfully practiced the third level of "The True Way of the Heart Lotus" for many years, but he has not been able to make a breakthrough because he lacks the method for practicing the subsequent stages.

Now that he had obtained the complete secret method, he took the opportunity to comprehend the fourth level of cultivation method, striving to cultivate the fourth level to perfection before forming the elixir and forming an infant.

Three years later, Zhou Chun's injuries were all healed, and the golden-winged tiger also took the magic pill and broke through to the fourth-level intermediate-grade magic beast.

Only then did he set out for the Yuelun Sect's mountain gate.

After arriving at the Yuelun Sect, Zhou Chun soon met the True Man Baiyue.

But he just exchanged some polite words with Master Baiyue before being taken by Master Baiyue to meet Master Yinyue, the supreme elder of the Yuelun Sect.

"Junior Zhou Zhengchun, I pay my respects to Master Yin Yue."

As soon as Zhou Chun entered the cave of Yin Yue Zhenren, he bowed and paid homage to the person sitting on the cloud couch.

This was the first time that Zhou Chun met Master Yin Yue at such a close distance, but he didn't dare to look at him even once.

And after he finished his salute, Master Yin Yue did not ask him to stand up immediately. Instead, he looked him up and down with a gleam in his eyes, as if he wanted to see through him.

Faced with such a situation, Zhou Chun did not seem to be very nervous. He just kept his posture still and let the other party look at him.

After looking him over like this, Master Yin Yue waved his hand and said with a smile, "Young friend Zhou, there is no need to be polite. Stand up and talk."

"Yes, thank you senior."

Zhou Chun responded, then stood up straight, lowered his head slightly and waited for the other party's next instruction.

However, Yin Yue Zhenren said calmly, "You have gone too far in destroying the remaining branches of Qinglian Temple. Daoist Qingxiao sacrificed his life to fight the devil for the Alliance and Jingguo. Since your Zhou family has occupied the Qinglian Mountains, why do you want to kill them all?"

At first glance, it seemed that he was still planning to hold Zhou Chun accountable.

But if that were the case, Zhou Chun would not be here at this moment.

Therefore, after hearing what he said, Zhou Chun was not panicked at all and immediately replied respectfully: "Senior, please understand. I admire the heroic act of True Man Qing Xiao who sacrificed his life to eliminate the demon!"

After he finished speaking, he added in a deep voice: "But this is not an excuse for Qing Weizi and others to do evil!"

He said in an excited voice, "I, a humble junior, also fought hard to slay demons and monsters in the war between immortals and monsters, and killed countless evil monsters with my own hands. But soon after, I was bullied and humiliated by Qing Weizi and others, and was even nearly assassinated by the assassins hired by them!"

"Since Qinglian Temple has first trapped me in injustice, I should repay the grievance with justice and take revenge!"

After he finished speaking, Zhou Chun looked at Master Yin Yue calmly, as if he had a clear conscience.

As he expected, Master Yin Yue sighed after his eyes flashed, "Ah! Thinking back to the past, Daoist Qing Xiao was so talented, but I never thought his descendants were so incompetent and short-sighted that they were destroyed by a kid. It seems that Qinglian Temple is destined to have this disaster!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. Since things have come to this, I don't want to meddle in other people's business. You can leave first!"

"Yes, thank you for your understanding, I will take my leave now!"

Zhou Chun felt relieved and immediately bowed respectfully and left.

Not long after, Zhou Chun met Baiyue Zhenren again in the Moon Wheel Sect's main hall.

Master Baiyue looked at him with a strange look in his eyes, and exclaimed in amazement: "Fellow Daoist Zhou is really good at this. As far as I know, Qingweizi and Qinglingzi are both in the middle stage of the Golden Core, with top-grade magic weapons and fifth-level magic talismans, and with the help of a large formation. Even so, they were still killed by Daoist Zhou alone, and their entire family was wiped out. It is really amazing and shocking!"

Master Baiyue was truly amazed by Zhou Chun's achievements.

Although the strength Zhou Chun had shown in the previous beast tide was already very impressive, in the eyes of Master Baiyue, who possessed a top-grade magic weapon, Zhou Chun might not be his opponent.

After all, the top-grade magic weapon is extremely powerful, and he has reached the late Jindan stage of cultivation. Once the two are combined, Zhou Chun's spiritual pets and himself will not be able to withstand it.

But now he didn't dare to have any such thoughts anymore.

Indeed, Qing Weizi and Qing Lingzi's cultivation is not as good as his. Even if they have top-grade magic weapons in their hands, it is difficult for them to exert their full power.

However, once the two of them join forces and use their respective top-grade magic weapons to deal with him, he may not be able to defeat them.

What’s more, Qing Weizi still has a fifth-level magic talisman in his hand, which is something he, the leader of the Moon Wheel Sect, doesn’t have!
It's not that the Yuelun Sect cannot produce such treasures, but if there is a real person in the Nascent Soul Stage, they will never give such treasures to the sect leader who usually never leaves the mountain gate.

Therefore, Master Baiyue was extremely curious about Zhou Chun, who was able to do things that he himself could not do. He wanted to know how Zhou Chun managed to kill Qing Weizi and Qing Lingzi.

But Zhou Chun naturally didn't want to reveal his true identity, so he just replied modestly, "Master, you are too kind. I paid a huge price to kill Qing Weizi and the other two. If it weren't for the help of the nobles and the treasures they gave me, I'm afraid I would have died under the attack of the fifth-level magic talisman!"

His ambiguous words clearly intended to push the credit onto Master Tianjing.

But Master Baiyue knew more about the inside story and was not misled by him.

He looked at him meaningfully and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, you are too modest. Even if I had the help of a noble person, I would still find it difficult to succeed if I were in their shoes!"

At this point, he shook his head, as if he felt that there was no point in probing like this, and looked directly at Zhou Chun and asked, "When Brother Zhou Daoist killed Brother Qing Weizi, did you get any information about the magical treasure [Blue Lotus Tribulation Armor]?"

After asking, he seemed to be worried that Zhou Chun didn't know the importance of this matter, and immediately added: "This treasure has been lost after the death of Qingxiao Zhenren, and our sect has been looking for it!"

Hearing his words, Zhou Chun was also moved, and then hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, to be honest, Qing Weizi did not die at my hands, but committed suicide after seeing no hope of escape. Before committing suicide, he deliberately destroyed his storage bag. Therefore, apart from the magic weapon he used during his lifetime, Zhou did not get anything useful from him!"

"Is it really so? Can you swear, Brother Zhou?"

Master Baiyue looked at Zhou Chun suspiciously and seemed not to believe his answer.

"Why not?"

Zhou Chun's expression became serious, and he immediately swore an oath in front of him.

With Zhou Chun’s cultivation reaching this level, his future goal will definitely be to transform the elixir into a fetus.

And if the oath you make now turns out to be a lie, the "heart demon calamity" in the future will become much stronger, making it almost impossible to overcome.

So once he swore, Master Baiyue had to believe it even if he didn't want to.

He immediately smiled apologetically and said, "It seems that I really misunderstood Daoist Zhou. Daoist Zhou, please don't be offended."

Then he nodded and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Zhou also doesn't know the whereabouts of the [Blue Lotus Tribulation Armor], then I don't have anything else to ask. It's just that Fellow Daoist Zhou still needs to explain to Yan Yang Sect."

"I understand now. Thank you for your advice, Master."

Zhou Chun responded calmly.

Then he raised his hand and took off a storage bag from his waist, and handed it to Master Baiyue: "This is my compensation to improve the reputation of your sect. Master Master, please accept it."

Seeing this, Master Baiyue smiled and said, "If this is the intention of Brother Zhou, then I will represent the followers of our sect."

After saying that, he raised his hand to take the storage bag, then scanned inside with his spiritual sense, and the smile on his face became more sincere.

In addition to the silver magic mirror, there was also a fourth-order low-grade puppet and two spirit crystals!

Without Zhou Chun saying much, Master Baiyue also knew that the extra things were for him.

Having achieved such a gain so easily, his attitude towards Zhou Chun naturally changed.

He immediately gave one more reminder, saying, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, you'd better be careful when you go to Yanyang Sect. As far as I know, Master Ziyang has always been very concerned about the [Blue Lotus Tribulation Armor], and may make some excessive demands on you!"

As soon as he said this, Zhou Chun felt that the extra gift was worth it. He immediately responded with a serious look: "I understand. Thank you for your advice, Master."

Then he left the Yuelun Sect’s mountain gate.

After Zhou Chun left, Master Baiyue immediately took the storage bag to see Master Yinyue and presented the silver magic mirror to him.

After obtaining this treasure, Master Yin Yue injected a little mana into it and refined it. He could not help but sigh, "This magic weapon [Mysterious Light Mirror of All Laws] is the life magic weapon of Master Xuan Jing. If he could break through to the late Nascent Soul stage, this treasure should have been enlightened by him and become a spiritual treasure. Unfortunately, it still lacked a little chance in the end!"

After saying that, he nodded slightly and said, "But this treasure has its own mysteries after all. It can be of great use even for Yuanying-stage cultivators like us in battle. If we can use this treasure to practice the secret art of clones obtained from the Heavenly Mirror, we can delay a great cultivator in the late Yuanying stage for a while!"

True Man Baiyue had been waiting quietly. After he finished sighing, he spoke up, "Grandmaster, please be wise. Zhou Zhengchun has sworn in front of me that he has never seen the [Blue Lotus Tribulation Armor], and he doesn't know anything about this treasure."

"It's normal that he doesn't know. When Qing Xiao left the Qinglian Mountains with the determination to die, he must have hidden the treasure secretly. He will only wait for another Yuanying stage cultivator to appear in the Qinglian Temple in the future, and then he will let him take out the treasure again for sacrifice!"

When Master Yin Yue said this, he smiled indifferently and said, "But this is understandable. If I were him, I would probably do the same thing!"

Upon hearing this, Master Baiyue couldn't help but sigh and said, "It seems that this treasure can only be in the secret vault of Qinglian Temple. I just don't know where the secret vault is located. Does Qingweizi know it?"

"Don't worry about it. My Yuelun Sect has its own inherited spiritual treasure. It doesn't matter if we can't get this [Blue Lotus Tribulation Armor]. As long as we don't let it fall into the hands of Yanyang Sect and help boost their strength, that's enough!"

True Man Yin Yue seemed to be very open-minded and at this moment he began to comfort True Man Bai Yue.

After hearing what he said, Master Baiyue didn't want to dwell on the matter any more, so he could only change the subject and said, "Grandmaster, when you looked at Zhou Zhengchun earlier, did you see anything? This boy was able to kill fellow apprentice Qing Weizi, who possessed a top-grade magic weapon and a fifth-level magic talisman. I'm afraid he has a big secret too!"

Hearing this, Master Baiyue couldn't help but shook his head and said, "This boy dared to come to see me, he must have made preparations in advance, but it's hard to see what's so special about him!"

After that, he paused again, and then quickly continued, "As for the secret about him, it should be related to the cultivation of monster beasts. He may not only have three fourth-level monster beasts, but perhaps there are one or two more hidden!"

"What could it be about the secrets of cultivating monsters? Is it some kind of spiritual object that can purify the blood of monsters? Or is it some kind of secret method that can help monsters break through and advance?"

Master Baiyue murmured to himself thoughtfully, with a look of curiosity on his face.

"We will know what it is in the future, so just watch it for now."

True Man Yin Yue said this indifferently, and then asked True Man Bai Yue to leave.

If Zhou Chun's secret was related to spiritual practice, or if he possessed some extremely powerful spiritual treasure, he might still be interested, and it would not be impossible for him to bully the weak if necessary.

But since it was related to the cultivation of monsters, he didn't care much.

Because even if it is true as Master Baiyue said, there is a secret method to help monsters break through and advance, there must be many limitations, and it may even consume a lot of resources such as monster pills.

As a result, the value of this method for Nascent Soul cultivators is greatly reduced.

And even if the Zhou family can rely on this secret method to cultivate a few more fourth-level monsters, what can it do?
Could it be possible that just some fourth-order monsters could threaten Nascent Soul cultivators?

This is the difference in cultivation and the difference in perspective on things.

After all, Master Baiyue is still a Jindan-stage cultivator, and his way of thinking is still limited to his own realm of cultivation. There is still a huge difference between him and a real Yuanying-stage cultivator.

On the other hand, after Zhou Chun left the Yuelun Sect, he also began to think about going to the Yanyang Sect.

The reminder given to him by Master Baiyue was undoubtedly very important.

The Yan Yang Sect and the Yue Lun Sect are different.

After all, the Yuelun Sect was once the main sect of the Zhou family, and it was they who allowed the Zhou family to become independent. The two sides have been dealing with each other for a long time, and many things can be discussed.

The Yanyang Sect and the Zhou Family had no affinity for each other, and the Zhou Family's entry into the Qinglian Mountains had thwarted their plan to bring in foreign Yuanying-stage cultivators. If the relationship between the two sides hadn't become hostile, there must have been resentment between them.

In this situation, it would be normal to seize this opportunity to make things difficult for Zhou Chun.

So Zhou Chun had to think carefully about how to deal with the difficulties he might encounter.

Half a month later, Zhou Chun, who was well prepared, went to Yanyang Sect alone again.

As expected, Zhou Chun encountered difficulties during this trip to the Yan Yang Sect. If Zhou Chun had not been fully prepared in advance, he would not have known how to deal with it.

Later, he was forced to hand over his memory of the scene before Qing Weizi committed suicide, which barely resolved the doubts in Zi Yang Zhenren's heart.

This humiliating experience also made Zhou Chun bear a grudge against the Yan Yang Sect in his heart. In the future, when he has enough strength, he will definitely settle the old score with the True Man Zi Yang!

After dealing with the Yuelun Sect and the Yanyang Sect, Zhou Chun finally returned to the Qinglian Mountains and presented the heads of Qingweizi and Qinglingzi to Master Tianjing.

"Senior, please understand. I have killed all the remnants of the Qinglian Temple in Le Country. As for the remaining disciples of the Qinglian Temple, I am unable to kill them because I do not know their whereabouts."

"But if we get any news about them in the future, I and the Zhou family will definitely not show any mercy and will definitely fulfill our promise to you, Senior!"

Zhou Chun placed the two frozen heads in front of him and respectfully stated the results of his previous actions.

"Young Master Zhou is indeed a trustworthy person. I did not misjudge him."

Master Tianjing nodded slightly, then raised his hand and waved it, and the two heads were burned to ashes.

Then he looked at Zhou Chun and said, "Next, my friend Zhou, you should practice hard. When you truly achieve Dan-transforming and Infant-forming, you will understand that power and wealth are all within your reach!"

"Yes, I will definitely keep in mind the teachings of my predecessors."

Zhou Chun responded respectfully.

Then, seeing that Master Tianjing had nothing more to say, he tactfully took the initiative to say goodbye and left.

Only after arriving at his own cave did Zhou Chun begin to distribute the treasures to those close to him.

Although he handed over two top-grade magic weapons, he still had several other high-grade and mid-grade magic weapons in his hands, so he certainly could not use so many of them himself.

He first called his Taoist partner Su Yuzhen, who had successfully broken through to the middle stage of the Golden Core, to his side. He looked at her with a smile and said, "Madam, you have broken through to the middle stage of the Golden Core. I haven't congratulated you yet. This [Two Dragons Overturning the Sea Bottle] happens to be of water attribute, which is very suitable for you. Consider it a gift from me to celebrate your breakthrough. I hope you like it!"

After saying this, he took out the top-grade magic weapon that he often used before and handed it to his Taoist partner.

Su Yuzhen was also shocked by the act of presenting a top-grade magic weapon as a gift when they met.

She stared blankly at her Taoist companion who was smiling. After making sure that he was not joking, she waved her hands and refused, "No, no, my husband's gift is too valuable. I cannot accept it. I dare not accept it!"

This is a top-grade magic weapon!
The entire Su family doesn’t have a single treasure!

Even though she and Zhou Chun were Taoist partners, she felt that such treasures were too valuable and did not dare to easily accept such a precious gift.

In the world of cultivating immortals, a treasure like this is sometimes enough to cause the downfall of a Jindan family and cause a couple to become enemies!
Zhou Chun was not unaware of this, but he now had more magic weapons, and he also wanted to use them to deepen the relationship between his fellow Taoists.

Therefore, he stuffed the magic weapon into Su Yuzhen's hand and said with a serious face: "I am not kidding you, madam. This time, I got a few more high-quality magic weapons. This magic weapon is no longer useful to me, so it's just right to give it to you, madam!"

After saying that, he smiled and joked, "After all, you are my Taoist partner. If you go out in the future without a top-grade magic weapon, people will laugh at me for having a false reputation and for being stingy!"

Hearing his words, Su Yuzhen's eyes suddenly sparkled, and she looked at him with love.

Then she could not help but hold the treasure bottle tightly in her hand. After a slight hesitation, she nodded gently and said, "Then I will keep this item for you, my husband. When I don't need it anymore, I will leave it to the Zhou family!"

After saying that, she looked at Zhou Chun with amorous eyes and whispered: "My husband is so affectionate and loving, I really don't know how to repay him!"

Hearing her words, Zhou Chun knew what she meant. He immediately laughed, picked her up and walked towards the bedroom.

Because of the special nature of Su Yuzhen's cultivation method, and her breakthrough to the middle stage of the Golden Core, Zhou Chun gained a lot from this dual cultivation, which was almost equivalent to one year of his own cultivation.

After enjoying this blissful pleasure for half a month, he finally came out of the land of comfort and began to deal with the other treasures in his hands.

Zhou Chun originally wanted to give Zhou Mingde a top-grade magic weapon, but Zhou Mingde, who was in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm, could not only hardly exert its power by using a top-grade magic weapon, but it also consumed a lot of mana.

In addition, the several magic weapons Zhou Mingde currently had were already very good, and replacing them with a single high-grade magic weapon might not necessarily be any better. Therefore, he had to give up this idea and only gave one of the two fourth-grade mid-grade golden tiger puppets to Zhou Mingde for self-defense.

This kind of puppet is of little use to Zhou Chun, and he can hardly use it in his current battle.

But for an early Jindan cultivator like Zhou Mingde, with a puppet of this level, he can fight against a middle Jindan cultivator even if he meets one.

Zhou Chun put all the looted magical instruments, talismans, secret techniques and other things into the family treasury and library.

After distributing the spoils, Zhou Chun left the Zhou family again and headed for the Great Zhou Kingdom.

The harvest this time was so great that Zhou Chun planned to go to the Great Zhou Kingdom to see if there was any chance to get rid of some unused things in exchange for what he needed.

In addition, he wanted to visit his disciple Zhou Zhiying to learn about her current cultivation status and see how long it would take for her to reach the late stage of Purple Mansion.
