Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Get rich!
This was Zhou Chun’s most intuitive thought after reading the list of spiritual objects provided by Zhou Zhiying.

Although he had long expected that the gains in the secret cave would be extraordinary, they would definitely far exceed what he had gained from any previous adventure.

But the facts proved that he had greatly underestimated the number and rarity of the various treasures and spiritual objects contained therein.

He even underestimated the number of infant spirit objects.

Originally, he thought that it would be very good enough that the owner of the secret cave, [Master Xuanfeng], could leave a spiritual pill like [Infant Transformation Pill] for his successor.

Who would have thought that the other party's generosity would be much greater than he had imagined.

Even those big forces cannot independently produce the materials for refining [Infant Transformation Pills], but they have directly planted all the main ingredients and important auxiliary ingredients. As long as they can find a master alchemist with excellent alchemy skills to help, they will be able to refine a furnace of [Infant Transformation Pills]!
At the same time, there are exotic immortal medicines such as [Taiqing Xianzhi] that can directly increase the chance of conceiving a baby when taken raw!

Even the spiritual objects and secret methods for resisting the "heart demon calamity" that Zhou Chun had only heard of in legends were prepared.

The scale of this undertaking is truly shocking.

Even for the Daozi-level figures in the sects of several top forces in the Great Zhou Kingdom, the spiritual objects they can enjoy for forming infants are probably no more than these, or may even be slightly inferior!

"What a generous move, what a generous move!!"

Zhou Chun muttered to himself with a look of shock on his face, unable to calm down for a long time.

Zhou Zhiying, who was standing by, looked at his changing expression and felt quite proud in his heart.

After all, all the shock Zhou Chun felt this time was caused by her.

She smiled proudly and said, "Master, please understand. I did not dare to take the other things on my own initiative, but I did bring back half of the two top-grade magic weapons, three high-grade magic weapons, and the spiritual apricot fruits. Please take a look first!"

As he said that, he took out all the things.

In fact, if possible, she would like to bring out the spiritual treasure left to her by [Master Xuanfeng].

However, the spiritual treasure already had a spirit, and since she did not have the cultivation level of the Golden Core Stage, it was impossible for her to collect it, so she could only let it remain in the treasure pavilion.

Looking at the things she took out, the nine spiritual apricot fruits were all golden in color and exuded an alluring aroma. Just smelling the aroma made Zhou Chun feel that the magic power in his body was stirring, and he quickly covered the jade box to prevent the loss of spiritual power.

The two top-grade magic weapons are a green flying sword surrounded by green air currents and a golden gem.

The blue flying sword is called [Blue Sky Phantom Sword]. It is a top-grade flying sword with wind attribute. It was made by a great weapon refining master. It was made by [Master Xuanfeng] before he entered the late Nascent Soul stage.

That golden gem is called [Unfixed Golden Light Pearl]. The only magical power of this gem is "Unfixed Golden Light", which is said to be omnipotent and there is no person or thing that cannot be fixed!

Even if a fifth-level demon king was hit by this "Unfixed Golden Light", he would be like being hit by a spell, fixed in the air and unable to move.

This treasure can even freeze the Nascent Soul of a cultivator!

According to the records left by [Master Xuanfeng] in his biography, when he was still in the middle stage of Nascent Soul cultivation, he had a life-and-death battle with an enemy. Then, he used this [Unfixed Golden Light Pearl] to freeze the opponent's Nascent Soul, leaving him no chance to use the magical power of "teleportation" to escape.

The remaining three top-grade magic weapons also have their own characteristics.

One is a defensive magic weapon [Nine Palaces Golden Pagoda], which can release nine layers of defensive golden light. When combined, it can even withstand several attacks from top-grade magic weapons!

One is the flying magic weapon [Wind and Cloud Wings], which is a pair of rare wing magic weapons. After refining this treasure, you can activate it to perform wind escape techniques to travel faster.

One is a special magic weapon [Thousand Illusions Mirror]. This mirror can not only perform magic tricks to make others fall into illusions and unable to extricate themselves, but also use magic to bless oneself and change one's appearance and aura. It has endless uses.

It is not difficult to see from the uses of these magic weapons that [Master Xuanfeng] has put a lot of thought into his successor and has taken every aspect into consideration.

After checking the five magic weapons one by one, Zhou Chun nodded repeatedly and said, "Not bad, these magic weapons are all good things. After you form the elixir, you won't need your master to give you any more magic weapons."

Although Zhou Zhiying had guessed that he would say this, he was still deeply moved when he saw that he was not tempted at all by so many magic weapons.

He immediately smiled bitterly and said, "Master, you think too highly of me. I don't need so many magic weapons!"

Then he shook his head and said, "Besides, even if I succeed in forming the elixir, I still have to sacrifice that spiritual treasure. How can I have so much spare energy to sacrifice these magic weapons!"

"Then what do you mean?"

Zhou Chun's expression changed, and he looked at the disciple thoughtfully.

Zhou Zhiying immediately pushed the two magic weapons, [Unfixed Golden Light Pearl] and [Wind and Cloud Wing], to him and said, "I don't think these two magic weapons will be of much use to me in the short term, so you can use them first, Master!"

Zhou Chun was slightly moved when he saw this, but he waved his hand and said, "I appreciate your kindness, but I have enough magic weapons now, and I have Baibai to make up for my own shortcomings, so there is no reason for me to covet my apprentice's things!"

He was not bragging. In terms of magic weapons, he might not have as many as Zhou Zhiying, but the quality was not necessarily worse.

However, Zhou Zhiying seemed to have made up his mind. He looked at him seriously and said, "This is all out of filial piety from my disciple. If you, Master, don't accept me, you are not treating me as your own!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Chun was immediately restrained by her and of course could not admit it.

After hesitating for a while, he could only smile and nodded, saying: "Well, then I will accept this [Unfixed Golden Light Pearl], as for this [Wind and Cloud Wing], you should keep it for yourself, its properties are more in line with you."

After saying that, he raised his hand to take the golden orb, and said in a tone that did not allow for argument: "It's settled. Ying'er, don't try to trick me with words anymore. I have to keep my dignity!"

"Well, since Master said so, I won't force you, but you have to accept all of these Lingxing Fruits. I don't need them!"

Zhou Zhiying looked embarrassed and had to put the magic weapon [Wind and Cloud Wing] back.

After hearing her words, Zhou Chun nodded and said, "These Lingxing Fruits are indeed very useful to me, so I won't be polite with you."

Now, decades have passed, and Zhou Chun only has two [Huanzhen Pills] left in his hand, but his cultivation is still a long way from the late Jindan stage.

The appearance of these spiritual apricot fruits came at a perfect time, saving him decades of hard training.

And those who haven't taken them yet, such as the Golden-Armored Mountain Turtle Stone, the Golden-Winged Tiger, and the Hellfire Phoenix, can also take them.

There is no such thing as too many spiritual objects like these that can enhance the magical power of Jindan-stage cultivators.

After accepting the nine spiritual apricot fruits, he thought for a moment, then looked at Zhou Zhiying and said, "According to the list you provided, Ying'er, there are many spiritual herbs in the cave that can be used to refine rare elixirs to improve mana cultivation. However, our family does not have a good enough alchemist, so I am afraid it will be difficult to truly bring out the uses of these spiritual herbs."

"So I want to give you a replica of the alchemy inheritance of [Xuanfeng Zhenren] that you obtained to Daoist Luo Qingni, so that she can help refine the relevant elixirs. What do you think, Ying'er?"

This had been his plan from early on, but now the owner of the secret cave is Zhou Zhiying after all, and the spiritual herbs will have to go through him in the future, so he feels it is necessary to respect his apprentice's own wishes.

Of course, he knew in his heart that Zhou Zhiying would most likely not refuse.

Sure enough, after hearing his words, Zhou Zhiying said without hesitation: "Disciple has no objection, it is entirely up to Master to decide."

After that, he looked at Zhou Chun seriously and said, "Master, I am very grateful for your care and love for me. But I have said before that as long as I can really inherit the legacy of the master of the secret cave, except for the treasures I need, all other treasures are at your disposal. You don't need to ask for my opinion on everything!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun was pleased with his disciple's filial piety. At the same time, he also warned his disciple, "Ying'er, you don't understand. Although you and I are master and disciple, the things in the secret cave were left to you by Senior Xuanfeng Zhenren after all. Therefore, even if you don't mind sharing the treasures with me, I can't take them without asking. This is a matter of principle!"

Zhou Chun knew that people's hearts were fickle. Even in close relationships like those between husband and wife or between father and son, there would be times when they would quarrel or even fight over their own interests.

Because of the living environment he grew up in, his personal talent and qualifications, and the fact that he has always been intentionally exerting influence, Zhou Zhiying may not care much about the spiritual medicines in the cave and is willing to use them to help his master.

However, if she encounters setbacks on her path of cultivation in the future, or runs into some special situations, and recalls what happened now, she might have opinions about him, who took her master without asking.

By then, the relationship between the master and disciple, who are now as close as father and daughter, may very likely be strained.

So the relatively young Zhou Zhiying might not care, but as a master, he must stick to his principles and not lay the groundwork for a breakdown in the master-disciple relationship in the future.

Zhou Zhiying was also a smart person with good understanding. When Zhou Chun spoke to her in a serious tone, she immediately understood something and nodded quickly, saying, "Disciple understands. Disciple will definitely keep Master's teachings in mind."

"You are a teachable boy! Then you should first form the elixir in Tianyuan Immortal City. After you succeed in forming the elixir, go to the secret cave to get some things for your master!"

Zhou Chun nodded slightly and immediately told his plan. "Yes, disciple will follow the master's instructions!"

Zhou Zhiying's face lit up with joy and he immediately responded respectfully.

She now has a lot of treasures but cannot use them because of her lack of cultivation. She is extremely depressed.

Now Zhou Chun asked her to go into seclusion to form the golden core, which was exactly what she wanted. She soon happily took the golden core spiritual object from Zhou Chun and went into seclusion.

Although it was almost certain that she would succeed in forming a pill with her top-grade spiritual roots, it would take her a much longer time to succeed without the assistance of a spiritual object that could help her to form a pill, and she might need to spend a lot of time consolidating her cultivation after forming the pill.

After all, those spiritual objects that are forming the elixir themselves contain rich spiritual power, and can provide a large amount of spiritual power to the cultivators when they are forming the elixir.

Therefore, she still has to use the spiritual objects that are needed to form the elixir.

After sending Zhou Zhiying into seclusion, Zhou Chun began to think about the elixirs listed on the list alone.

While thinking, Zhou Chun was also flipping through the alchemy inheritance left by Master Xuanfeng, mainly looking up the recipes in order to decide how to use the rare elixirs on the island.

The alchemy inheritance left by [Master Xuanfeng] is undoubtedly extremely profound and exquisite. There are even four recipes that can be used to improve the cultivation of Nascent Soul cultivators.

Zhou Chun took a look and found that there were some magical medicines in the medicine garden, which were actually the main and auxiliary medicines recorded on one of the pill recipes, but one or two other important auxiliary medicines were still missing.

As for other pill recipes, you can basically just take a look at them. Some of the spiritual medicines required may have become extinct in the world of immortal cultivation!
As for the elixirs suitable for use by Jindan-stage monks, in addition to several elixir recipes such as [Huaying Pill] and [Ningying Pill] that help to form an infant, there are also six or seven elixirs used to improve the Jindan-stage monks' magic power and break through barriers, and there are also several other elixir recipes for healing and detoxification.

Similarly, many of the spiritual medicines on the island meet the material requirements of those pill recipes.

Obviously, this aspect was also the result of the deliberate efforts of [Master Xuanfeng].

What made Zhou Chun most delighted was that the other two main ingredients needed to refine the [Four Spirits Barrier Breaking Pill] were actually available on the island!

Among them, Guiyuanzhi is one of the important auxiliary medicines needed to refine the [Infant Transformation Pill]. There are a total of five plants growing on the island. The oldest one is more than six thousand years old. Among the remaining four, two are more than three thousand years old, and two are more than one thousand years old.

In this case, it is very likely that the 6,000-year-old Turtle Yuanzhi has spread out Ganoderma lucidum, giving birth to a new elixir.

This also applies to some other auxiliary elixirs of the [Infant Transformation Pill].

The only exception is the main ingredient of the [Infant Transformation Pill], the "Heavenly Infant Fruit", which is a special spiritual root of heaven and earth and can only produce one spiritual fruit at a time.

Today, the medicinal age of the "Tianying Fruit" has exceeded eight thousand years, far exceeding the minimum requirement of three thousand years!
With the age of the medicine exceeding this much, even if this "Tianying Fruit" is taken directly, it is likely to have 60% to 70% of the effectiveness of the "Huaying Pill".

If it is used as the main ingredient, and combined with other auxiliary materials of similar medicinal age, the efficacy of the refined [Infant Transformation Pill] will be stronger than the normal [Infant Transformation Pill]!
According to the records on the pill recipe, if the [Infant Transformation Pill] is refined by a master alchemist, as long as the performance is normal, at least three pills will be produced, and in the best case, even five.

Only the legendary alchemy master can be sure of refining six [Infant Transformation Pills] in one furnace.

However, alchemy grand masters are even rarer than weapon refining grand masters. At least at Zhou Chun's current level, he has no idea where to find such people.

What's more, the [Infant Transformation Pill] is so precious and of great importance that he can't just go and find some alchemists who he can't fully trust to make it.

Therefore, if he wants to refine the [Infant Transformation Pill] in the future, he can only ask Luo Qingni to do it.

At the same time, in order to allow Luo Qingni to perform as well as possible in the alchemy process, it is necessary to let her refine some other rare elixirs before refining the [Infant Transformation Pill] to improve her alchemy skills, and even improve her cultivation to the late stage of Golden Elixir!
Zhou Chun thought of this and couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head and sighed, "This really proves the saying, every bite and every drink has its destiny!"

Luo Qingni traded the jade token to him without thinking, and it was a huge loss.

But after all the twists and turns, a large part of the benefits obtained by Master Zhou Chun and his apprentice will be reaped by her!

Even if Zhou Chun was not a person who believed in fate, when he encountered such a thing, he couldn't help but doubt whether such things as cause and effect really existed in the world.

But in this way, Zhou Chun won't have to feel any guilt when facing Luo Qingni again.

After all, even if Luo Qingni knew about this, she would still have to thank him!

Thinking of this, Zhou Chun carefully compared the pill recipes again and gradually came up with an idea in his mind.

Of course, even if he was ready to tell Luo Qingni the truth, he would not reveal the news in advance before Zhou Zhiying successfully formed the elixir and before Zhou Zhiying picked those spiritual herbs back. He would not even give the other party the alchemy inheritance.

Therefore, in the following period of time, Zhou Chun did not wait in Tianyuan Immortal City for Zhou Zhiying's Dan-Jing results to come out, but returned to his family first.

The safety of Tianyuan Fairy City is guaranteed, so there is no need for him to stay here. Besides, it is not very convenient for him and his pet to practice here.

Another thing is that Zhou Chun also needs to inform Zhou Mingde of the good news in time so that he can feel at ease.

There were no incidents along the way. Zhou Chun returned to Qinglian Peak in a low-key manner without disturbing anyone.

Apart from some people around him, not many people even knew that he had been away from the family for more than ten years!

When Zhou Chun told Zhou Mingde that Zhou Zhiying had successfully inherited the mantle of Xuanfeng Zhenren and showed him the list, Zhou Mingde was shocked and extremely excited.

"This is truly a blessing from God. Zhengchun, all your years of hard work, waiting and planning have finally borne gratifying fruit!"

After being excited for a long time, Zhou Mingde came back to his senses, and looked at Zhou Chun with joy and emotion on his face and exclaimed like this.

Zhou Chun sighed with deep feeling after hearing this, "Yes, this result also makes me extremely surprised and unexpected. After so many years of planning, it's finally not in vain!"

"Opportunities always come to those who are prepared. Zhengchun, you have been planning for a hundred years to wait for this day. Now everything is as you wish. It can be seen that all this is God's will!"

Zhou Mingde looked at Zhou Chun with a piercing gaze and said in a firm tone, "As long as you can cultivate to the late stage of the Golden Core according to the plan, I believe that with your foundation and luck, you will be able to pass the stage of Danhua Infant Formation without any hindrance!"

"I thought so too, that's why I returned to the family to practice meditation!"

Zhou Chun nodded slightly and replied in a calm tone.

After obtaining the spiritual objects for forming a baby left by Master Xuanfeng, Zhou Chun was full of confidence in his ability to transform the elixir and form a baby.

After telling Zhou Mingde about his plans, Zhou Chun began to concentrate on his cultivation in his cave.

He first took a fifth-level spiritual apricot. After spending about half a year refining it, he immediately gained the benefits of thirty or forty years of meditation and cultivation. His cultivation was much closer to touching the barrier of the late Jindan stage.

Afterwards, except for keeping one Lingxing Fruit for himself, he distributed the remaining seven equally to the four spiritual pets other than Mu Mei and Mu Sang, so that each spiritual pet could take just two.

The effect of this kind of spiritual fruit will be halved after taking it continuously. Taking two is the limit. Taking more would be a waste of the spiritual object.

While refining spiritual fruits and elixirs to improve his cultivation, Zhou Chun also suspended the practice of most other secret techniques and magical powers, and focused most of his energy after cultivation on comprehending the "Taiyi Liangfen Divine Art" and the secret technique that assisted in forming a baby.

The secret method to assist in forming a baby left behind by [Master Xuanfeng] is called "Purple Light to Subdue Demons". It is a precious secret method specifically used to assist in overcoming the "heart demon calamity".

This kind of secret method is extremely precious in the world of immortal cultivation, and its value is comparable to that of magical treasures!
Even many of the great sects of immortal cultivation with thousands of years of heritage may not have such secret methods.

In order to practice this "Purple Light to Subdue Demons", one needs to go to the sky above the Ninth Heaven of Bixiao every day, collect the purple air of the morning sun at sunrise, and then collect the moon's essence at the full moon, and use a secret method to smelt the essence of the sun and the moon. It takes twenty-four years to condense a "Purple Light to Subdue Demons"!
This method does not actually require high qualifications and understanding from the cultivator. The only thing that is most difficult is that once you start practicing, you cannot waste even a day before condensing a "purple light to subdue demons", otherwise all the accumulation before will be in vain!

In this way, once you are ready to practice this secret method, you must go to a place far away from people and sit in seclusion for twenty-four years. You must never come out until you succeed!
After studying this secret method for a while, Zhou Chun temporarily put aside his research on it.

His main goal now is to break through to the late Jindan stage. He can use this method after he has made all other preparations.

Afterwards, Zhou Chun focused all his energy on practicing the secret technique on the "Taiyi Liangfen Divine Art".

Zhou Chun has a very strong interest in this secret method that can cultivate the "second Nascent Soul".

Because if a cultivator can really cultivate a "second primordial infant", not only will he have an extra helper when fighting with others in the future, but he can also use the second primordial infant to do many dangerous things that the original body is not convenient to take the risk of.

Even when the main body is in danger of life, the second Yuanying will be the best way to take the place of the disaster and can save one's life at the critical moment!

So even though he knew that it was not easy to cultivate a second Nascent Soul, Zhou Chun still had a strong interest in this secret method and was willing to spend a lot of time practicing and comprehending it.
