Beast-controlling fairy clan.

"Master, I am sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. Fortunately, I have fulfilled your mission and brought back everything you need!"

In Tianyuan Fairy City, after the returning Zhou Zhiying met Zhou Chun, he immediately said something that made Zhou Chun smile.

After he took the storage bag containing the elixirs from Zhou Zhiying, he nodded and said, "Ying'er, you have worked hard. From now on, you should practice in seclusion in Tianyuan Immortal City. When Brother Luo refines the elixirs, your share will be delivered to you as soon as possible!"

But after hearing what he said, Zhou Zhiying shook his head and said, "I have just successfully formed a pill, but I am not in a hurry to take those pills. Next, I want to travel around. Please allow me, Master."

Zhou Chun was slightly startled by this answer. After looking at her for a moment, he sighed and said, "Well, now that you have successfully formed the elixir, you can definitely become a disciple. Just take care of yourself in the future!"

After that, he warned his disciple with a serious face: "But Ying'er, you must remember that the people in the world of immortal cultivation are treacherous. You must be more careful in everything and don't easily reveal your cards in front of others!"

"Disciple, remember this. Master, please take care of yourself too!"

Zhou Zhiying nodded and took note of his instructions with a serious face.

So before she went out to travel, Zhou Chun taught her several secret techniques he had mastered, including the "God-Slaying Technique", "Beast Spirit Fusion Technique", "Small Five Elements Breaking the Prohibition of Mysterious Light", and other methods of practicing various secret techniques and magical powers, allowing her to choose to practice according to the situation.

But in fact, the various secret methods of practicing magical powers left by [Master Xuanfeng] are much more than what he has mastered. Some of the secret methods of practicing magical powers related to wind attributes are perfectly suited to Zhou Zhiying's physique.

So what choice Zhou Zhiying makes depends entirely on herself.

During this period, Zhou Zhiying showed his magic treasure without any concealment and let Zhou Chun observe it.

This magical treasure is called [Liang Yi Feng Huo Fan], and it looks like a feather fan made of green and red feathers.

The two kinds of feathers used in this fan are the feathers of the fifth-level demon king Tianpeng and the feathers of the fifth-level demon king Huofeng. The feathers used are all their natal feathers!

Among them, there are four feathers of the Sky Peng and three feathers of the Fire Phoenix, making a total of seven.

At the same time, the fan bones and handles are also made from the bones of the Tianpeng Demon King, and the spirit of the magical weapon is inspired by the spirit of the Tianpeng Demon King's residual soul.

As a spiritual treasure with the dual attributes of wind and fire, the [Liang Yi Wind and Fire Fan] can not only display the two magical powers of "Tian Peng Gang Feng" and "World-Destroying Flame" which are unique to the Tian Peng and Fire Phoenix clans, but also combine the power of wind and fire into one, using wind to assist fire and display the magical power of "Wind and Fire Destroying the World".

It can be said that this is a pure offensive treasure, possessing ultimate offensive power!
If a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul has this [Liang Yi Wind and Fire Fan] in his hand, he will be no worse than a cultivator in the late stage of the Nascent Soul in terms of attack.

However, because it is a pure offensive treasure, this [Liang Yi Wind and Fire Fan] itself consumes a lot of mana.

Even if Zhou Zhiying poured all his magical power into it now, he could only barely activate the "Tianpeng Gangfeng" magical power to launch an attack!
However, even this one attack was powerful enough to cause an unprepared late Jindan cultivator to suffer a great loss, or even lose his life!
After witnessing the offensive power of this spiritual treasure, Zhou Chun felt much more relieved about Zhou Zhiying traveling alone.

Zhou Zhiying himself possesses the magical weapon [Wind and Cloud Wings], and his escape speed in a short period of time is unmatched even by many late Jindan cultivators.

Now that he had this trump card that was enough to severely damage an ordinary late Jindan stage cultivator, as long as he didn't provoke the powerful ones among the late Jindan stage cultivators and didn't provoke the Yuanying stage cultivators when he went out to travel, he should have no problem protecting himself.

So after Zhou Zhiying happily embarked on her journey to travel around the world, Zhou Chun also brought the elixirs she had picked and personally visited Luo Qingni.

"Brother Daoist Zhou's sudden visit must mean something good is going to happen. It looks like Qing Ni will have to open the box of Tianxing Zihao that she just got today!"

In "Qingni Residence", after Luo Qingni welcomed Zhou Chun into her residence, she couldn't help but laugh and tease him.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun also smiled and said, "Hahaha, then I am really happy today. I have heard of the name of Tianxing Zihao for more than 200 years, but unfortunately I have never tasted it until now!"

Hearing his words, the smile on Luo Qingni's face suddenly became even brighter.

Without saying anything more, he immediately raised his hand and invited Zhou Chun to take a seat. Then he took out a palm-sized dark blue wooden box, removed the sealing talisman on it, and opened the lid.

Inside this small wooden box, there were only twelve pieces of light purple tea leaves, about one finger long and two fingers wide.

This tea is light purple in color, with silver spots on both sides, which appear and disappear like stars in the night sky, which is extraordinary.

This is the "Tianxing Zihao" spiritual tea that is famous in the immortal cultivation world of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

This spiritual tea is a specialty of the Tianyuan Sect, the largest immortal cultivation force in the Great Zhou Kingdom. Its mother plant is a fifth-grade, ten-thousand-year-old spiritual tree, and it is said that its grade is as high as fifth-grade top grade!

The "Heavenly Star Purple Hair" on the mother plant has a very good auxiliary effect on Nascent Soul cultivators. Many new Nascent Soul cultivators in the Great Zhou Kingdom, or new Nascent Soul cultivators in neighboring countries, will go to the Tianyuan Gate to ask for a few pieces of mother plant spiritual tea to drink after successfully forming a Nascent Soul.

The box of "Tianxing Zihao" that Luo Qingni got now naturally could not be the spiritual tea from the mother plant, but the spiritual tea produced by the sub-plants cultivated from the mother tea tree by the Tianyuan Sect's Yuanying period cultivators using the cuttings and transplanting method. Moreover, it was not the first-generation sub-plant, but the grandson plant cultivated from the sub-plant!
But even the Sunzhu tea tree was cultivated to the fourth level by the Tianyuan Sect monks at great expense. The price of the spiritual tea it produced reached an astonishing amount of tens of thousands of spiritual coins per tree, and it was usually out of stock!
Regardless of whether it is the mother plant spiritual tea or the grandson plant spiritual tea, the effect of "Tianxing Zihao" is the same. It can temporarily enhance the cultivator's wisdom and understanding and help people practice!

However, the real mother plant spiritual tea is of great use even to cultivators in the early Nascent Soul stage.

However, the Sunzhu spiritual tea that Luo Qingni took out now was of mediocre effect for mid-stage Jindan cultivators like them.

Even so, for Zhou Chun, who had heard of this magical tea for a long time but never had the chance to taste it, this was still a very good experience.

Luo Qingni was willing to do so and brewed three cups of spiritual tea for him at one time.

When the lavender tea leaves were boiled in boiling water, the tea immediately turned into purple.

Zhou Chun took the hot tea and put it directly into his mouth, chewing the tea leaves and swallowing them, just like a cow chewing on a peony. His eating manner was quite rough.

However, this is usually the attitude of practitioners towards spiritual objects. They only seek to maximize the effect and do not care about the details.

As the tea and tea leaves entered his stomach, a mysterious and clear air rushed into Zhou Chun's purple palace. The soul inside immediately opened his mouth and inhaled, and the clear air sank into his body.

Then Zhou Chun felt his mind become clear, and his whole body of thinking became active.

He immediately focused his mind and, with the help of the power of the "Tianxing Zihao" spiritual tea, began to comprehend the magical power of "Golden Escape Technique".

Ever since he had cultivated this magical power to the point where he could fly eighty miles, he seemed to have encountered a bottleneck and became stuck.

Originally, he thought that it was limited by his own cultivation level, and perhaps he would have to wait until his cultivation level reached the late Jindan stage before he could break through this bottleneck.

But now, with the help of the understanding-enhancing effect brought by the "Tianxing Zihao" spiritual tea, he soon made a different discovery.

After about an hour had passed and the effect of the "Heavenly Star Purple Hair" spiritual tea on improving his understanding had dissipated, Zhou Chun could not help but clap his hands and laugh, "So that's how it is, so that's how it is, it turns out that I took the wrong path in channeling my spiritual energy before!"

After laughing, he couldn't help but stroke his forehead with his hand and frowned slightly.

However, it was because of overusing my brain due to the temporary improvement in my comprehension that I now have a severe headache.

"The side effects of Tianxing Zihao are difficult to erase by force. It will take a day or two to completely dissipate. However, drinking this cup of Yi Shen Bu Nao Tea can slightly relieve the pain. Fellow Daoist Zhou, why don't you give it a try?"

Luo Qingni pushed another cup of steaming medicinal tea to Zhou Chun's side at the right time and spoke in a gentle tone.

She had taken "Tianxing Zihao" a long time ago, so she knew the situation very well.

The effect of the spiritual tea "Tianxing Zihao" is also very special. The same grade of spiritual tea is only effective when taken for the first time, and three pieces of spiritual tea and a cup of water are the best effect, any more is useless.

Otherwise, with the powerful effect of this spiritual tea, how could Tianyuan Sect be willing to sell it to other cultivators.

Zhou Chun didn't need to be on guard against her. He immediately took the tea and drank it all. After a while, he really felt the pain eased a little.

He nodded slightly and said, "Brother Luo's tea is really good. I feel much better."

"As long as you feel it is useful, then you can rest here for a day or two. We can talk about business after you feel better."

Luo Qingni smiled slightly and whispered the suggestion.

Zhou Chun did not refuse.

His current state is indeed not suitable for discussing serious matters with others, as it may easily lead to mistakes.

"Then I will nag Brother Luo!"

He thanked him and went to the guest room in the cave to rest.

After resting in Luo Qingni's cave for two days, Zhou Chun finally returned to normal.

"Brother Luo has helped me a lot this time. How can I thank you?"

In the living room of the cave, Zhou Chun saw Luo Qingni again after two days and talked about the previous events with a smile.

The two had known each other for hundreds of years, so Luo Qingni naturally knew that he was joking, and immediately said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Zhou, even if you give Qingni a spiritual coin, Qingni will not think it is too little. Even if you give Qingni a spiritual treasure, Qingni will not think it is too much!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun burst into laughter and said, "Hahaha, I don't have any spiritual treasures, but I think some of these things are not much worse than spiritual treasures for Fellow Daoist Luo!"

As he spoke, he waved his sleeves and took out a row of jade slips and placed them in front of Luo Qingni. "Fellow Daoist Zhou, this is..."

Luo Qingni looked at the row of jade slips in front of her and couldn't help but look at Zhou Chun in surprise.

Zhou Chun smiled faintly and said, "Daoist Luo will know it at a glance."

Seeing this, Luo Qingni no longer hesitated and immediately took out a jade slip and used her spiritual sense to check it.

It would not matter if she did not read it, but once she read it, she was completely immersed in the knowledge in the jade slip and did not notice the passage of time in the outside world.

After an unknown amount of time, she seemed to have finished reading all the knowledge recorded in the jade slip. She put it down with a feeling of being unsatisfied and looked up at Zhou Chun.

Then he whispered with a slightly trembling voice: "Could it be that these jade slips contain..."

"Yes, Brother Luo's guess is correct. These jade slips contain records of alchemy inheritance. If all of this alchemy inheritance is digested, it is theoretically enough to create an alchemy grandmaster!"

Zhou Chun spoke in a calm and low voice, seemingly unaware of what his words meant.

After hearing what he said, Luo Qingni's heart trembled and her eyes widened.

Then he asked again and again: "Where did Brother Zhou get such a profound alchemy inheritance? Are you really willing to give it to Qing Ni?"

"Since Zhou has brought these jade slips to Fellow Daoist Luo, I naturally have no intention of taking them back!"

"As for the origin of this alchemy inheritance, it actually has a lot to do with you, Fellow Daoist Luo!"

Zhou Chun organized his words a little here, and then talked about how he learned the way to obtain the inheritance of the secret cave residence, and how he was lucky enough to meet Zhou Zhiying, a qualified disciple, and trained him to the point where he could inherit the mantle of the master of the secret cave residence.

Now that Zhou Zhiying has successfully formed the elixir and completely refined and mastered the [Inverted Universe Array], there is no need to hide this secret from Luo Qingni anymore.

After all, even if Luo Qingni still had a jade token in her hand, it would be impossible for her to enter the secret cave.

What's more, he will need Luo Qingni's help to refine rare elixirs such as the [Infant Transformation Pill] in the future, so hiding it from the other party is not a good thing.

You know, Luo Qingni had obtained some alchemy notes from [Master Xuanfeng] through him before. As long as you go back and carefully study the alchemy inheritance he took out, it is not difficult to find out the origin of these things.

If I find out that he has been hiding the truth, I might feel resentful and even miss out on important things!

Of course, Zhou Chun would definitely not tell everything honestly. For example, he would not tell anything about the secret method of forming a baby, the [Taiyi Liangfen Divine Art], the [Taiqing Immortal Ganoderma], etc. He would definitely not give the list to Luo Qingni about what specific spiritual medicines were in the secret realm of the cave and how many there were.

It just wanted Luo Qingni to know that she had made a fortune, and that she could share the gains and greatly improve her alchemy skills.

Luo Qingni is a smart person. Even if she knows that he is hiding something, she will definitely not dig into it.

Things developed just as Zhou Chun expected.

After listening to his story, Luo Qingni first looked at him in shock, and then as time went by, her face gradually became numb.

After Zhou Chun finished speaking and stopped talking, Luo Qingni looked at him numbly and said, "Has Fellow Daoist Zhou finished speaking?"

"Ahem, that's all. That's all."

Zhou Chun coughed twice, then turned his head slightly with a guilty look, not daring to look at Luo Qingni, the "victim".

Although he thought he did not owe Luo Qingni anything, without him, Luo Qingni would not be able to obtain the inheritance of the secret cave.

But he also had to admit that if he were Luo Qingni, he would not be able to let it go so easily when encountering such a thing!
To give an inappropriate example, someone bought a lottery ticket for someone else, and later found out that the lottery ticket had won the prize, and he personally handed the lottery ticket to the other party without their knowledge!

In this situation, what do you think the mentality of the person who bought the lottery ticket would be?
Luo Qingni's situation could be said to be even more complicated, because Zhou Chun took advantage of the information gap and exchanged the jade token from her without her knowledge!

Even though that was an exchange she made willingly with Zhou Chun, when encountering such a thing, no one can help but think about it and let it go easily!

And the most unacceptable thing about this matter is that Luo Qingni personally helped Zhou Chun to make this happen without knowing it.

If it weren't for the pills she refined, Zhou Zhiying might not have been able to cultivate to the late stage of Purple Mansion so quickly.

If something like this happened, Zhou Chun felt that it was not impossible for Luo Qingni to become his enemy.

But he believed more that Luo Qingni was not the kind of person who could not pick up or let go.

The two have known each other for hundreds of years, so he should not be wrong about this.

Now we just need to give Luo Qingni some time to digest the negative emotions brought about by this news. She will definitely be relieved in the end!
Zhou Chun had no doubt about this!
Time passes little by little.

Inside the cave, neither Zhou Chun nor Luo Qingni spoke a word. It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Although Zhou Chun didn't go to see Luo Qingni, he paid attention to the changes in her facial expression.

Therefore, it can be clearly seen that as time goes by, Luo Qingni's expression is gradually returning to normal.

Obviously, after a fierce inner struggle, reason has gradually prevailed and overwhelmed those negative emotions.

After a while, Luo Qingni's expression returned to normal, and she took the initiative to speak to break the silence: "Fellow Daoist Zhou is indeed a man of great luck! Qingni entered the secret cave several times, and was one of the first people to enter. In the end, she only got a Jindan spiritual object after all her efforts, and she almost lost her life in it!"

"And Fellow Daoist Zhou, you just wanted to go to the Duolan Grassland to see the exotic scenery, but you easily got the Jindan spiritual object that Qing Ni had spent so much effort to obtain, and you also gained something else!"

When Luo Qingni said this, she couldn't help but sighed, "Qingni originally thought that this was fine, it was just that Brother Zhou was lucky and met by chance!"

“But who would have thought, who would have thought! Who would have thought that Fellow Daoist Zhou only entered the secret realm once, and yet he was able to obtain the inheritance information of the owner of the secret cave, and in less than a hundred years, he was able to accept a genius with the highest grade of wind attribute spiritual roots from his own clan!”

Having said that, Luo Qingni moved her lips and seemed unable to continue.

Finally, he could only sigh and say, "It seems that all this is really destined. It is destined that this opportunity does not belong to Qing Ni. It is destined that you and your disciple, Fellow Daoist Zhou, are the destined ones that Senior Xuanfeng Zhenren has been waiting for!"

"Fate is indescribable! It's great that you can think this way, Brother Luo!"

Zhou Chun felt relieved and couldn't help but smile awkwardly and answered.

Then he quickly comforted the other party and said, "Although Brother Luo has no chance to inherit the mantle of Senior Xuanfeng Zhenren, you can inherit the senior's legacy in the way of alchemy. This legacy is also a gift from Ying'er to you. Thank you for giving her such an opportunity!"

"And Ying'er also said that if Brother Luo lacks suitable spiritual medicines for refining pills, then some of the spiritual medicines in the cave on the island can be provided to Brother Luo for practice!"

Then he added, "And here are two fifth-level spiritual apricot fruits from the island. After taking and refining them, you can save decades of hard training. This is also Ying'er's thank-you gift to you, Brother Luo!"

After Zhou Chun finished speaking, he took out two fifth-level spiritual apricot fruits that he had prepared long ago and placed them in front of Luo Qingni.

He said nice words and gave gifts, and his attitude was sincere and attentive to the extreme.

Seeing this, Luo Qingni finally felt much better.

He nodded immediately and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou is right. This alchemy inheritance is indeed a great opportunity for Qing Ni that is no worse than a spiritual treasure. In the future, Qing Ni will at least not lag behind the alchemists of the big sects in the alchemy inheritance!"

After that, she took the fifth-level spiritual apricot fruit that Zhou Chun had taken out and said, "Qing Ni has also shamelessly accepted these two spiritual fruits. Please also ask Brother Zhou to tell your disciple that Qing Ni is very grateful for this opportunity and gift she has given you. If Qing Ni has achieved success in her studies in the future, she will definitely repay you!"

"What's the point of repaying or not repaying? Daoist Luo, it's too polite to say that."

Zhou Chun waved his hands repeatedly and made the decision for his disciple, saying, "Ying'er is traveling outside now. When she returns from her travels, I will ask her to come and express her gratitude to Daoist Luo in person. If Daoist Luo wants to visit the secret cave again, she can also take him there!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingni said seriously: "If I have the chance to meet her in person, Qingni will definitely thank her!"

"Hey, Brother Luo is so polite!"

Zhou Chun sighed, then nodded to Luo Qingni and said, "Then I will not bother you today. I will come to talk to you again after you have studied all the alchemy inheritances."

At the end, he added, "By the way, the remaining two main ingredients of the [Four Spirits Barrier Breaking Pill] that Zhou and Fellow Daoist Luo talked about last time happen to be grown in the secret cave. Next time Zhou comes, I will bring them to Fellow Daoist Luo!"

Hearing his words, Luo Qingni's eyes sparkled, as if she had thought of something, and she immediately responded softly: "Qingni understands, then I will contact Brother Zhou after Qingni comes out of retreat."

"Then Zhou will wait for the news from Fellow Daoist Luo."

Zhou Chun said this, then bowed, said goodbye and left.

After sending him out of the cave, Luo Qingni returned to the living room alone. Looking at the jade slips on the table, she couldn't help but sigh softly, her expression extremely complicated.
