Beast-controlling fairy clan.

The ancestor of the Su family should still have two or three years left to live, so Zhou Chun did not bother the old man for too long. After giving him a promise, he left the Su family first.

In fact, according to Zhou Chun's previous idea, he wanted to give the Su family's ancestor the method of ghost cultivation, and let him decide whether to transform into a ghost cultivator.

However, ever since Zhou Daoquan, the first person in the Zhou family to transform into a ghost cultivator, showed abnormal behavior, Zhou Chun has become extremely cautious regarding this type of ghost cultivation method and does not dare to leak or spread it easily.

Because there is something very scary and worth pondering.

Why is it that the ghost cultivation method seems to have so many benefits, but has not spread in the world of immortal cultivation?
Are all the cultivators who possess the ghost cultivation method keeping it to themselves, or are they aware that spreading this method will bring some unknown dangers?

Zhou Chun has been in the world of immortal cultivation for many years and has been to countless places, but he has only heard of very few rumors about ghost cultivation.

This is enough to show how rare the group of ghost cultivators are in the world of immortal cultivation.

Therefore, if it is just to hide one's own shortcomings, it is unlikely to go to such an extreme extent!
And if the latter speculation is correct, then the water is very deep!

If things go wrong, Zhou Chun's teaching of the ghost cultivation method to the Su family's ancestor may not only not be a good help, but may also bring disaster to the other party and the Su family, and even to himself and the Zhou family!
Therefore, Zhou Chun is now very reluctant to use the ghost cultivation method in his hands, and dares not easily let others know that he still has this method.

At the same time, he also warned some people in the Zhou family who knew about this matter not to disclose the news.

Fortunately, after he completed the transaction with Master Tianjing, the ghost face token was also taken away by the other party, which invisibly helped him get rid of a hot potato!
After leaving the Su family's mountain gate, Zhou Chun appeared in two markets and some places controlled by the Zhou family to inspect and reveal his whereabouts.

Then he went to inspect the wilderness.

In the wilderness, Zhou Chun revealed to Xu Fu and his wife the good news that Zhou Zhiying had successfully formed the elixir, which made the couple so happy that they were at a loss as to what to do.

Afterwards, he almost explicitly told the two that he would prepare spiritual objects for them to form elixirs, so that they could serve the family here with peace of mind.

With Zhou Chun's promise, Xu Fu and his wife were naturally overjoyed and expressed their gratitude to him profusely.

Of course, Zhou Chun did not reveal anything about the secret cave to the two of them, and he also clearly told Zhou Zhiying not to disclose the matter to anyone else.

Otherwise, if the couple knew about this, they might become greedy and desire more benefits, which might lead to the news leaking out and bring huge trouble to the Zhou family!

Zhou Zhiying is no longer a child, and since she did not grow up with her parents, she does not have a very close relationship with them. However, she understands and supports Zhou Chun's warnings.

After comforting Xu Fu and his wife, Zhou Chun set off to the place where the "Tian Shuang Han Feng" built its nest.

Many years have passed, and the number of "Sky Frost Bees" has increased several times compared to when Zhou Chun first obtained them.

However, after giving birth to many offspring, the queen bee has now reached the end of its life.

Generally speaking, in the final stage, the queen bee will use all her essence to breed the next generation of queen bee.

Zhou Chun came here this time to perform the mastership contract ceremony with the new generation of queen bee.

At this time, as Zhou Chun came to the giant [Millennium Cold Jade] where the bee colony built its nest, the queen bee, who was already very weak, immediately flew in front of Zhou Chun with the support of several mature male bees, and danced around him.

Most of the evil insects have low intelligence. Even a strange insect that has the strength to rival a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage may not be as smart as an old dog that has lived for more than ten years!

However, the wisdom of the king of a tribe is often different from others.

This queen bee has also lived for hundreds of years. Although she has not spent much time with Zhou Chun, under the influence of the master-servant contract, she has long regarded Zhou Chun as her closest master.

So as it approaches death, it also exhibits some unusual behaviors.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun couldn't help feeling a little sad. He immediately raised his hand and the queen bee fell into his palm.

Then he whispered to the queen bee in front of him: "Don't worry, I will take good care of your colony and will not let them become extinct!"

The queen bee seemed to understand his words. She immediately lowered her head happily and rubbed it on his palm again and again, and then suddenly made a rapid buzzing sound.

As the sound was made, the "Sky Frost Bees" resting in the hive suddenly swarmed out, all flew out of the hive, and surrounded Zhou Chun, making buzzing sounds.

Then, under the witness of Zhou Chun and the bee colony, the queen bee used up all her strength and injected the last bit of her life essence into the bee egg in her body, giving birth to it.

When the queen bee egg came out, the queen bee had no breath, and its body quickly dried up and decayed like withered grass.

Zhou Chun promptly dripped blood on the queen bee egg to acknowledge its ownership and signed a contract.

For the next two or three months, Zhou Chun guarded the new queen bee egg until it was completely hatched.

Because the new queen bee is bred with all her essence, it grows very fast after hatching. It only takes about three to five years for it to grow to the point where it can lay eggs.

During this period, the bee colony will do its best to provide nutrients for the growth of the new queen bee.

There was no need for Zhou Chun to intervene anymore. He quickly took some of the dying demon bees and left the place.

Speaking of which, in recent years Zhou Chun would come from time to time to take away some of the "Sky Frost Bees" that were about to die, and use them to feed the four six-winged ice silkworms.

Now, after years of feeding by him, the four six-winged ice silkworms are about to undergo a new round of metamorphosis.

Zhou Chun is also looking forward to the day when they transform into complete six-winged ice silkworms to see how powerful they will be by then!

When Zhou Chun returned to Qinglian Mountains, there was a guest from afar who had been waiting for him for more than a month.

This visitor was Bai Zhiqing, who had separated from him in the Great Zhou Kingdom that year.

After traveling around for many years, Bai Zhiqing finally arrived in Jingguo and planned to return to her own sect after visiting Zhou Chun.

At this time, the two met in Zhou Chun's cave. After some pleasantries, Zhou Chun looked at Bai Zhiqing tentatively and said, "Brother Bai, you must have gained a lot from your travels in various countries. When you return to Tianhuo Sect this time, I guess you will have no shortage of resources to cultivate to the middle stage of Jindan in the future."

Hearing what he said, Bai Zhiqing immediately smiled bitterly and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou thinks too highly of Zhiqing. Previously, Zhiqing had spent most of her wealth in exchange for the Dan-forming spiritual objects, and later on, she had to spend another fortune to refine her own life magic weapon. Although she is not completely penniless now, she is indeed short of money. How dare I expect Fellow Daoist Zhou to think so highly of me!"

Zhou Chun thought she was just being modest, and immediately shook his head and said, "Brother Bai, you are too modest. Given the Flowing Fire Sand Sea's thirst for external materials, Brother Bai can earn several times the profit by buying a batch of rare and extremely scarce spiritual objects from this place and bringing them back. It will be hard not to get rich then!"

Seeing this, Bai Zhiqing couldn't help but said helplessly: "Zhiqing is really not being modest. If Zhiqing really had extra money, she would definitely do as Daoyou Zhou said. Unfortunately, Zhiqing is really short of money!"

"Is that true?"

Zhou Chun looked at Bai Zhiqing with a puzzled expression, then he said apologetically, "I'm sorry, it seems that I really misunderstood Fellow Daoist Bai."

"Hey, I hope Brother Zhou understands!"

Bai Zhiqing sighed softly, and her mood became extremely complicated for a moment.

Originally, she might not have cared about this very much. After all, her success in forming the elixir this time had already completely achieved the purpose of her travels.

However, when Zhou Chun mentioned this, she suddenly realized what an opportunity she was about to miss to make a fortune!

The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt.

But she didn't know that this was exactly Zhou Chun's plan.

At this time, Zhou Chun observed her expression and saw what she was thinking. He quickly changed the subject and said, "If you are really short of money and lack the start-up capital, I can help you with some money. You can even choose any of the Zhou family's special spiritual items and take them away!"

After he finished speaking, Bai Zhiqing was slightly stunned, with obvious surprise in her eyes.

Since he dared to travel alone and took the initiative to ask Zhou Chun for cooperation, he must be a thoughtful person.

After a moment of surprise, he looked thoughtful.

She quickly looked at Zhou Chun and said, "Brother Zhou is willing to donate generously. Zhiqing is of course very grateful, but I don't want to receive gifts without merit. I wonder how Zhiqing can help Brother Zhou?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately praised with admiration: "Brother Bai is indeed a smart man. It is easier to talk to smart people."

Then he said in a deep voice: "Zhou does have something that he would like to ask for help from Bai Daoyou. If Bai Daoyou is willing to help, I dare not say anything else. Let Bai Daoyou earn one or two million spirit coins, it should not be a big problem!"

After saying that, he told Bai Zhiqing that he wanted to exchange it for the free opportunity that Bai Zhiqing had to ask Grandmaster Yan Cang to refine the weapon.

After hearing his request, Bai Zhiqing did not respond immediately, but pondered over it.

"Brother Bai, you probably know that Senior Yan Cang doesn't have much time left. Since you haven't yet obtained a treasure that can allow a grandmaster to refine a weapon, this opportunity may be wasted at any time. If you make an exchange with Zhou, it is obviously a win-win situation."

While Bai Zhiqing was thinking, Zhou Chun whispered a piece of information that made her color slightly change.

After seeing her expression change for a while, she finally nodded and said, "Well, since Brother Zhou is so sincere, Zhiqing is of course willing to help him!"

Hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately laughed and said, "Hahaha, what a wise choice. Brother Bai will definitely not regret your decision today in the future!"

Then he took out the flying sword made of [Ten Thousand Years Ice Crystal] on the spot and asked the other party to hand it over to Grandmaster Yan Cang so that he could make a magic weapon for himself that could attack the enemy in stealth.

Seeing him casually take out the top-grade spiritual material of [Ten Thousand Years Ice Crystal], Bai Zhiqing was also deeply shocked and speechless for a long time. She had been to Bingyi Country before and knew that even in a place like Bingyi Country, this level of top-grade spiritual material was almost impossible to obtain through normal means.

Generally, the treasures here are firmly controlled by the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Bingyi Kingdom, and rarely fall into the hands of Golden Core cultivators.

She was stunned for a while before she took the treasure and said to Zhou Chun solemnly, "Don't worry, Daoist Zhou. Zhiqing will do her best to complete your commission!"

"Friend Bai is doing things for me, so I can rest assured."

Zhou Chun nodded with a smile on his face, without even asking Bai Zhiqing to swear anything.

This extraordinary self-confidence made Bai Zhiqing feel moved by his trust in her, but also awe-inspiring.

Before she came to visit Zhou Chun, she also inquired about the information about Zhou Chun and the Zhou family in Jingguo.

I have also heard about the powerful strength Zhou Chun showed in the previous beast tide.

Therefore, he knew clearly in his heart that if he dared to have any ill intention towards Zhou Chun's commission, he would pay with his life in the future!

Next, Zhou Chun fulfilled his promise to Bai Zhiqing. He packed up a large portion of the spiritual materials such as the Qinghuo Dan in the Zhou and Su families' stocks, as well as some specialty spiritual objects produced in Longyuanze, and gave them to Bai Zhiqing so that she could take them back to the Liuhuo Desert and make a fortune.

At the same time, he also told the other party that he would go to the Liuhuo Desert to obtain treasures in the future, and asked him to keep the refined magic weapon for him first.

As for whether it was after he entered the late stage of the golden elixir or after he transformed the elixir and formed an infant, it depends on how Bai Zhiqing understands it!
In this way, after seeing Bai Zhiqing off, Zhou Chun could finally go to the Great Zhou Kingdom without any worries.

Not long after, Zhou Chun appeared again in Tianyuan Fairy City.

At this time, Zhou Zhiying had not yet come out of retreat, so Zhou Chun could only visit Luo Qingni first and tell her about entrusting her to help collect the spiritual objects for forming the elixir.

However, after listening to his request, Luo Qingni did not dare to agree easily. Instead, she said carefully: "Jiedan spiritual objects are extraordinary. If Daoist Zhou wants to purchase them in bulk, I'm afraid he won't be able to impress people with spiritual coins. He must also take out some treasures of equal value!"

"What Fellow Daoist Luo said makes sense. If Zhou is willing to take out magic weapons and spiritual materials and some relatively rare thousand-year-old spiritual medicines, or even magic weapons and fourth-level magic talismans, I wonder if the conditions can be met?"

Zhou Chun nodded slightly and calmly stated his own chips.

After he finished speaking, Luo Qingni's slightly frowned brows relaxed, and she nodded and said, "If that's the case, Qingni can help Fellow Daoist Zhou and give it a try. I think you will gain something."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately bowed his hands to express his gratitude and said, "Then I'll leave it to Brother Luo."

"It's just a little effort."

Luo Qingni waved her hand, then looked at him inquiringly and asked, "Last time, Fellow Daoist Zhou suddenly sent a message saying that the other two main ingredients of the [Four Spiritual Barrier Breaking Pill] have been found, and asked Qingni to stop looking for other partners. I wonder when you can bring the spiritual ingredients to Qingni to start refining the pill?"

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Zhou Chun smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry, Brother Luo. The elixir will be delivered to you soon, and there will be an unexpected surprise waiting for you!"

"Brother Zhou is so mysterious, it seems like he has had some good fortune recently."

Luo Qingni was slightly stunned, then asked tentatively.

But Zhou Chun just smiled and didn't respond.

This made her smile bitterly and nodded: "Well, then Qing Ni will wait for the unexpected surprise that Brother Zhou mentioned to appear!"

“Hahaha, I will make sure that Brother Luo will not be disappointed when the time comes.”

Zhou Chun chuckled and made a bold statement with confidence.

In this way, through Luo Qingni's circle of contacts, Zhou Chun exchanged for three Jindan spiritual objects in just half a year, which was quite efficient.

At this time, Zhou Zhiying finally succeeded and came out of seclusion.

"Congratulations, Ying'er, on your successful Dan formation. It is my lifelong pride to have such an outstanding disciple like you!"

Inside the cave, after seeing his disciple coming out of retreat, Zhou Chun congratulated him with a big smile on his face, and praised his disciple without hiding his joy.

This is the fact. For a master like him, being able to teach a disciple to reach the Jindan stage is a very face-saving thing.

Not to mention that this disciple has a great chance of successfully transforming the elixir into a fetus in the future!
For Zhou Zhiying, receiving the blessing and affirmation from her master Zhou Chun as soon as she came out of retreat was a very happy thing for her.

He bowed to Zhou Chun with a happy face and said, "I am where I am today thanks to your teaching and cultivation, Master. I will never forget your kindness in nurturing and cultivating me!"

"This is all the result of your good aptitude and hard work. Your teacher just played a role in fueling the flames."

Zhou Chun waved his hand, but did not shamelessly take credit for it.

To be honest, although he had never treated Zhou Zhiying badly over the years and had taught and disciplined him before Zhou Zhiying opened up his Purple Mansion, the fact that Zhou Zhiying was able to successfully form a pill so quickly was mostly the result of his own outstanding talent and hard work in cultivation.

Zhou Chun has always been pragmatic and will not be complacent in this regard.

But Zhou Zhiying also had his own views. Now he looked at him seriously and said, "Gold also needs the support of noble people to shine, and a thousand-mile horse also needs to meet a Bole to gallop across the world. Master, you are the noble person in my life, and the Bole of my life!"

These words made Zhou Chun very happy, and she was really pleased.

He couldn't help but smile and pointed at his apprentice and joked: "What a sweet-talking girl! I am almost confused by your words. Don't say such things again in the future, or people will laugh at me for teaching a flatterer!"

"Hehehe, what I said is from the bottom of my heart, Master, please don't misunderstand me!"

Zhou Zhiying stuck out her tongue and blinked mischievously.

After he finished speaking, Zhou Chun's smile became even brighter.

After some chatting and laughing between the master and the disciple, the relationship between them became much deeper.

Afterwards, Zhou Chun gave his disciple some pointers on things that should be paid attention to after forming the elixir, and asked about her choice of magic weapon for refining.

Zhou Zhiying now has a lot of magic weapons on her, but she listened to Zhou Chun's words very much and did not be greedy for more. Instead, she only refined the top-grade defensive magic weapon [Nine Palaces Golden Pagoda] and the top-grade flying magic weapon [Wind and Cloud Wings].

But that doesn't mean she has no offensive means.

After she successfully formed the elixir, thanks to the significant increase in her spiritual consciousness and magical power, she also successfully cultivated the [Taiyi Two-Division Divine Art] and was able to control three fourth-level puppets at the same time to fight the enemy.

Therefore, if she really had to fight with others, she could just activate the [Nine Palaces Golden Pagoda] to protect herself, and then concentrate on controlling the three fourth-level puppets to attack the enemy.

Relying on these means, ordinary mid-stage Jindan cultivators may not be her match!
Therefore, after listening to his disciple's choice, Zhou Chun nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, it seems that you are very clear-headed. Then, you should go to the secret cave again, refine the main formation flag of the formation, subdue the spiritual treasure, and bring the things on this list for me!"

After saying that, he handed Zhou Zhiying a list of spiritual medicine picking and five spiritual beast bags that he had made.

Yes, five spirit beast bags!

Because this time Zhou Zhiying was certain to have inherited the secret cave, there was no need to worry about her encountering any problems in it. In addition, she was shouldering a more important mission this time, so Zhou Chun did not dare to neglect it and directly gave all five of his spirit pets to her to carry with her.

With his five spiritual pets in hand, Zhou Zhiying can walk freely on the Dolan grassland as long as he does not encounter the holy wizard of the Multi-Winged Clan!

Among them, the golden-armored mountain turtle stone is the most crucial one. With it, when Zhou Zhiying encounters some dangerous sections on the road, he can let it carry him through the earth.

Zhou Chun's support also touched Zhou Zhiying, who felt relieved. He said solemnly, "Master, rest assured. I will complete the task you have assigned me!"

"Go ahead, and be careful along the way!"

Zhou Chun nodded slightly, and personally sent his disciple out of Tianyuan Fairy City.

Now he has become known to the Multi-Winged Tribe. Unless it is necessary, he dares not even go near the Dolan Grassland, for fear that someone will identify his movements in advance and attack him across the border!
Therefore, in order to prevent any changes in Zhou Zhiying's trip, Zhou Chun simply decided not to send her to Dolan Grassland.

After seeing Zhou Zhiying off, Zhou Chun concentrated on his cultivation in Tianyuan Fairy City.

He estimated that Zhou Zhiying would take another one or two years to return, so he was not in a hurry.

In the next two years, Zhou Chun exchanged four more Jindan spiritual objects through Luo Qingni.

At this time, almost all the extra Jindan spiritual objects in the hands of those in Luo Qingni's circle of contacts had been emptied. Even if the remaining people still had Jindan spiritual objects, they were going to leave them for their own descendants and would not easily take them out to exchange with others.

However, with these seven Jindan spiritual objects he had obtained, Zhou Chun could report to his family.

So I didn’t collect them on a large scale anymore.

On this day, Zhou Chun, who was practicing, suddenly felt that the spirit pets were gradually getting closer to him.

This made him feel refreshed, knowing that his wait had finally paid off.
