Chapter 66 Innocence
"Friend Zhou, have you really decided not to sign up?"

"In fact, with your cultivation strength and background, Brother Zhou, if you sign up, there is still a great chance that you will be able to successfully join the Qinglian Temple."

"If I can enter Qinglian Temple, my chances of success in building my foundation will be greatly increased, not to mention all the other benefits!"

In the backyard of Lingshouzhai, Liu Qingshan, who was "on vacation" to visit his daughter, was talking to Zhou Chun about Qinglian Temple opening its doors to recruit disciples.

He had no hope of signing up because Qinglian Temple had strict requirements for recruiting disciples.

The first is the age limit. In principle, no cultivators over the age of 30 are accepted, unless they have top-grade spiritual roots.

The second is the background. Those who are purely wild cultivators and have too much turbid and evil energy accumulated in their bodies are completely unacceptable.

Finally, it is about cultivation level. Any cultivator over fifteen years old whose cultivation level is lower than the middle stage of Qi Refining will not be accepted.

As for those cultivators under the age of fifteen, they will be comprehensively screened based on their backgrounds and spiritual aptitudes, and the best ones will be admitted.

First of all, Liu Qingshan was over the age limit, so naturally he had no chance to sign up.

However, facing Liu Qingshan's advice, Zhou Chun responded calmly: "Of course I know the benefits of being a disciple of a big sect, but I also know the difficulties of being a disciple of a big sect. In comparison, it is more suitable for me to stay in the Zhou family to practice."

These were also the exact words he used to reject clan leader Zhou Daoyi.

In fact, for the Zhou family, whether Zhou Chun joins the Qinglian Temple or stays in the Zhou family, it will be of great benefit to the Zhou family, and it is hard to say which one is better.

If he were to join Qinglian Temple, with Zhou Chun's current age and level of cultivation, and with the contract to tame a mid-level demon beast like the Silver Lightning Python, the chances of him successfully building a foundation in the future would be very high. By then, the Zhou family would have someone who could have a say in Qinglian Temple.

Similarly, if he stayed in the Zhou family, the Zhou family might have an extra powerful elder in the Foundation Establishment Stage, which could greatly enhance the overall strength of the family.

So when Zhou Daoyi learned that he had no intention of joining the Qinglian Temple, he did not try to persuade him much, but respected his choice.

After hearing Zhou Yang's answer, Liu Qingshan was silent for a while, then nodded gently and said: "Maybe, for a family cultivator like Brother Zhou, staying in the family is indeed a good choice!"

After saying that, he changed the subject and said solemnly: "However, for independent cultivators like us, joining a large sect is the best choice, so Liu plans to let my daughter sign up to participate in this event!"

"Oh, Brother Liu is planning to let your daughter sign up?"

Zhou Chun's eyes flashed with surprise, and he couldn't help but frown and said, "But your daughter is only at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage. Isn't Fellow Daoist Liu worried about her safety?"

Thanks to him, Liu Shiyun has been able to practice in the market every day for more than half a year, and now her cultivation has reached the sixth level of Qi Refining Stage.

However, Liu Shiyun is already twenty years old. If she signs up at this age, she will have to compete with many cultivators at the seventh and eighth levels of the Qi Refining Stage, many of whom are even family cultivators.

Zhou Chun had doubts in her mind as to whether she could successfully qualify.

Liu Qingshan had been in the world of immortal cultivation for decades, so how could he not hear the hidden meaning in Zhou Chun's words.

He immediately explained: "Shiyun has good spiritual roots. Although she is not a top-grade spiritual root, she is considered to be top-notch among the middle-grade spiritual roots. Moreover, Liu has paid attention to her training in all aspects since she was a child. She is actually not as weak as Fellow Daoist Zhou imagined."

"Moreover, opportunities are rare. If she misses this opportunity, it will be impossible for her to join Qinglian Temple in the future. Liu can only take her to other sects in Jingguo to try. At that time, the risk will be much greater!"

Is that so?
Zhou Chun nodded slightly, agreeing with his explanation.

But soon he frowned again, as if he had thought of something, and couldn't help but look at Liu Qingshan and asked: "But why did Liu Daoyou and Zhou talk about this?"

Hearing his question, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but smile bitterly and spread his hands, saying, "Fellow Daoist Zhou also knows that I am a criminal now and cannot leave the market at all. Naturally, I cannot bring my daughter to the Qinglian Temple in Lianzhou to participate in this event."

"So Liu would like to ask Brother Zhou to help speak to your family and let my daughter go to Lianzhou with those monks in your family who want to join Qinglian Temple."

Is that all?
When Zhou Chun heard this, he actually felt relieved.

He was afraid that Liu Qingshan would ask for too much and ask him to help Liu Shiyun join the Qinglian Temple, and then he would be helpless.

He nodded and said, "I understand, Zhou. If it's just this matter, then I will take care of it."

Anyway, the Zhou family also has to send people to the mountain gate of Qinglian Temple, so sending one more person, Liu Shiyun, is not a big deal at all.

As a core member of the Zhou family, Zhou Chun still has this face.

So after a few days, Zhou Chun and Zhou Jiasheng asked for leave and escorted Liu Shiyun to the Zhou family in Jiufengling. They also bought some new varieties of spiritual fruits as gifts for the [Qingmu Lingyuan] who had helped them a lot.

When they arrived at the Zhou family, clan leader Zhou Daoyi readily agreed to Zhou Chun's request to let Liu Shiyun join the team.

The number of cultivators from the Zhou family who wanted to join Qinglian Temple this time was much less than Zhou Chun had expected. There were only three of them, two of whom were "Zheng" generation juniors who were under the age of fifteen.

Because the number of people was too small, the Zhou family did not plan to send Foundation Establishment cultivators to escort them this time. They only let Zhou Jiapeng, who was already at the eleventh level of Qi Refining, escort a few people to the Sun family in Jinfengling, and then go to Lianzhou with the cultivators of the Sun family. After watching Liu Shiyun and others leave the Zhou family, Zhou Chun also prepared to leave the family and return to the market.

When he learned that he was about to leave, Zhou Zhengyong insisted on taking him home for a meal.

"Your sister-in-law's cooking skills are very good now, so today I would like to invite you to taste her food."

When Zhou Zhengyong said this, his face was full of smugness.

Zhou Chun knew why he was so proud.

Because when I visited his house before, I cooked a few dishes myself.

Looking at his proud look now, he obviously wants to show off that he has married a virtuous partner.

After all, it is not an easy task to get a Taoist companion who is a cultivator to put down his airs and learn mortal cooking skills!
If it were in his previous life, when he encountered a friend like this who wanted to show off, Zhou Chun would probably leave immediately and not give him the opportunity, which would have pissed him off to death.

But this world certainly can't do this, that would be too rude.

At the moment, I had no choice but to follow Zhou Zhengyong to his home.

It’s no wonder, after eating seven or eight dishes made by Zhou Zhengyong’s Taoist partner Sun Yujiao, Zhou Chun was actually a little envious of this guy.

Having a wife who can cook and warm the bed at home had always been his biggest dream in his previous life.

"In fact, Thirteenth Brother, you should also find a Taoist partner. I think that fellow Taoist Liu Shiyun is very good. If she fails to join Qinglian Temple this time, you might as well give it a try."

Zhou Zhengyong seemed to see the envy in Zhou Chun's heart, and at this time he winked and gave him some advice.

For some reason, when Zhou Chun heard Zhou Zhengyong's words, the first thing that came to his mind was an illustration from the book "Flower Hunting Treasure Book".

Then he quickly shook his head, extinguishing the evil thoughts, and rolled his eyes at Zhou Zhengyong, saying, "Don't talk nonsense, Daoist Liu and I are innocent, don't ruin the girl's reputation!"

Innocent?

Zhou Zhengyong's face was full of disbelief.

"Really? I haven't even seen Daoist Liu's true appearance yet!"

When Zhou Chun said this, seeing that Zhou Zhengyong still didn't believe it, he simply spread his hands and said, "Forget it if you don't believe it. Anyway, the reason why I sent Liu Daoyou here this time was mainly because of her father's request."

All in all, the Liu father and daughter brought him a total of two thousand spirit coins.

Zhou Chun has always been clear about gratitude and resentment. For those who have made him a lot of money, he is willing to help them to the best of his ability, even if it is a fair deal.

Seeing him say this, Zhou Zhengyong didn't want to say anything more about the matter, otherwise it would seem that he didn't trust him enough.

So he quickly changed the subject and said, "Do you know? It is said that Seventh Brother was originally planning to join Qinglian Temple this time, but he was forced to stay by the Supreme Elder and was not allowed to leave the family. He was even confined to his house for this reason!"

And this thing?

Zhou Chun was surprised; this was the first time he had heard of this.

After a moment of hesitation, he shook his head and said, "I really don't know about this matter, but since it is the decision of the Supreme Elder, we should not discuss it without authorization!"

"Of course I know this, but we are not strangers, so I told you about this."

Zhou Zhengyong nodded and smiled at him as if to say "I understand".

Then he couldn't help but sighed and said, "Hey! I used to envy the special treatment he enjoyed, but now it seems that people like him who enjoy so much support from their family and elders don't have to pay any price!"

But is this really the case?
Zhou Chun shook his head slightly again, but didn't say much.

What is Zhou Zhengkang’s so-called “price” compared to the special treatment he enjoys in his family?
If we really let him go to Qinglian Temple, he would be able to take all the benefits, and in the future he would probably become the thing that the clan members would criticize for the rest of his life as Grand Elder Zhou Mingde!
Of course, there is no need to tell Zhou Zhengyong all this.

After having a hearty meal at Zhou Zhengyong's home, Zhou Chun left Jiufengling as the couple watched them leave.
