Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Chapter 69 Tracking
Why did Zhou Zhengkang go to the Spirit Beast Pavilion?
Zhou Chun still hadn't figured out the matter until he returned to the Spirit Beast House.

"Uncle Sixteen, has anyone from the family come to the store in the past few days?"

After returning to the store, Zhou Chun hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but ask Zhou Jiasheng about this matter indirectly.

"No, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Zhou Jiasheng looked at Zhou Chun with confusion, not understanding what he meant.

"Nothing, just pretend that I didn't ask!"

Zhou Chun moved his mouth, but finally shook his head slightly and did not tell anyone that he had seen Zhou Zhengkang.

No matter what Zhou Zhengkang did at the Spirit Beast Pavilion, it was not a good thing for him to say it out loud, let alone talk about it behind the other elders' backs.

Zhou Chun had suffered a similar loss in his previous life, so of course he couldn't make the same mistake again now.

When Zhou Jiasheng heard him say this, he frowned slightly and nodded, saying, "Since it's nothing, just take care of the store and do your work."

"Yes."

Zhou Chun responded and immediately sat down in the store.

Another day passed like this, and he still didn't see Zhou Zhengkang come to Lingshouzhai.

On the third day, Zhou Chun finally waited for the wandering Shura Guangshun to come to his house, but he brought him some monster meat again.

"Oh, is this strange fish again this time? It seems that Brother Luo's last trip to Tianxian Tower was in vain!"

In the backyard of Lingshouzhai, Zhou Chun looked at the two corpses of strange fish that were wrapped in a wooden box by Luo Guangshun. A strange look flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but smile at him and make a teasing comment.

Hearing Zhou Chun's words, Luo Guangshun immediately showed embarrassment on his face.

But he has been in the world of immortal cultivation for decades, what kind of embarrassing experiences has he not had?
Soon, he waved his hand at Zhou Chun with a wry smile and said, "Don't mention it. Luo was almost beaten out by the owner of Tianxianlou last time. I won't dare to go there again!"

Seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Luo. Even if Tianxianlou doesn't accept this fish meat, I will accept it anyway. My two spirit pets usually eat too much beast meat, so I think this fish meat tastes different. I quite like it."

Hearing this, Luo Guangshun immediately showed a look of gratitude and said, "With Daoist Brother Zhou's words, I feel relieved."

"Then, fellow Daoist Luo, can you bring a few more of these strange fish next time you come? An elder of mine has a spirit beast that has become more and more picky lately and refuses to eat many kinds of meat. If you can send a few carcasses of strange fish over, I think he will be very happy!"

Zhou Chun said this, and then he gestured with his hand and said, "If Brother Luo can deliver three or four of these strange fish carcasses within ten days, I can give you half the price."

Hearing his words, Luo Guangshun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Do you really mean what Brother Zhou said?"

After that, he waved his hand and said, "I'm not doubting Fellow Daoist Zhou, I just want to ask if Fellow Daoist Zhou only wants three or four of these strange fish carcasses, or the more the better?"

"Three or four will be enough. If there are more, Zhou doesn't have the financial resources to buy them."

Zhou Chun shook his head and said something that made Luo Guangshun quite disappointed.

I saw a flash of disappointment in his eyes, and he nodded slightly and said, "Okay then, within ten days, Luo will definitely deliver the things to Brother Zhou!"

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

Zhou Chun smiled and nodded, then personally escorted Luo Guangshun out of the store.

Besides, after Luo Guangshun left Lingshouzhai, he did not leave the market immediately, but went to the inn to meditate and practice.

After practicing for more than two hours, he waited somewhere in the market town.

They waited until the other three monks who came to the market with him arrived here, and then the four of them left the market together.

The four of them were veterans who had been in the world of immortal cultivation for decades. They had been in and out of Hongya Market no less than a hundred times, and had even figured out relatively safe routes.

In addition, the four of them had strong cultivation capabilities and were not something that ordinary bandits could defeat, so their journey out of the market town was quite smooth.

After arriving outside the Red Rock Mountains, the four of them dispersed and returned to their respective residences.

Because they cannot practice in the wild, the residences of the independent practitioners are also different.

Some people like quietness, so they often live in caves and stone chambers in the wild mountains and wilderness near the place where they practice.

Some people like to enjoy themselves and prefer bustling and prosperous places, so they will go to nearby mortal towns to build manors and become local tyrants.

Luo Guangshun was already over fifty years old, and felt that he would not be able to make much progress in cultivating immortals in this lifetime, so he chose the latter option. He built a large manor in a small mortal town close to Hongyafang City, and took in seven or eight concubines.

After he came back from the market, he went back to his manor first. He hid most of the spirit coins he got from the market in a secret compartment on the wall of his bedroom, leaving only two for himself to carry with him.

Only he knew about this secret compartment, not even his favorite concubine. At this time, he looked at the nearly 100 spirit coins in the porcelain jar in the secret cabinet, which had already filled up more than half of the jar. There was both satisfaction and a hint of sadness in his eyes.

"Ah! I don't know if these spirit coins I have worked so hard to save can really be used before I die!"

"If I can't give birth to a descendant with spiritual roots to inherit my property, what's the point of working so hard now?"

Thinking about these spiritual coins, which he had saved one by one through his frugal life and it took him five or six years to save up so many, Luo Guangshun felt proud but also very depressed.

He can see the end of his life at a glance.

If there is any hope, it is to give birth to a descendant with spiritual roots and then cultivate him well from childhood.

Let him inherit my legacy and not follow my old path.

However, few of his concubines have been able to become pregnant and give birth to children, let alone give birth to offspring with spiritual roots.

"After I finish this order with Fellow Daoist Zhou, I'll take in a few more concubines. As long as they keep giving birth, I don't believe that I won't be able to give birth to a child with spiritual roots!"

Luo Guangshun gritted his teeth, closed the secret cabinet again, and called his two concubines to favor them.

After resting at home for two days, Luo Guangshun went out again.

The place they were going to this time was not close, so when Luo Guangshun went out, he rode the finest horse raised by his family. After riding for more than 200 miles, he stopped outside a continuous mountain range.

Then he skillfully tied the horse in a cave in the mountains, prepared food and water in one of the troughs, and then left the cave and walked into the mountains.

However, Luo Guangshun, who was moving forward through the mountains and forests, had no idea that there was a "tail" following him more than ten miles away.

In the forest, Zhou Chun was seen following a palm-sized blue-black butterfly and moving forward steadily in the direction where Luo Guangshun was.

It turned out that the order he had placed with Luo Guangshun before was for fishing.

Before Luo Guangshun left the shop, he sprinkled the refined female "Black-spotted Blue Butterfly" powder on the spirit coins.

After Luo Guangshun touched those spirit coins with his hands, his hands and the corners of his clothes would be stained with butterfly powder.

Therefore, Zhou Chun easily tracked all the way to Luo Guangshun's manor by relying on the male "Black-spotted Blue Butterfly" that he had specially requested from his family.

That night, when Luo Guangshun was favoring his two concubines, Zhou Chun had already sneaked into his manor and sprinkled butterfly powder on the back of the horse he was riding and inside the saddle.

Therefore, even though they were more than ten miles apart, he could easily know where Luo Guangshun had gone.

After following Luo Guangshun for dozens of miles in the mountains, Zhou Chun saw him stop beside a mountain pool.

At the edge of a turquoise mountain pool, Luo Guangshun twisted off the head of a pheasant he had caught on the road and threw it onto the gravel-covered shallows beside the pool. He then took out a harpoon from his storage bag and held it in his hand, ready to go.

Not long after, a string of bubbles suddenly gurgled out of the originally calm water surface, and a strange silver-black fish quickly pushed the waves and climbed onto the shallows, trying to pounce on the pheasant.

However, at this moment, the harpoon in Luo Guangshun's hand flew out, and hit the body of the strange fish with one strike, piercing it through and killing it on the shallows.

Then, without waiting for the injured and painful monster fish to struggle to break free from the harpoon, Luo Guangshun used a black meteor hammer magic weapon and smashed it heavily on the monster fish's head, smashing it into pieces on the spot.

After easily killing the first strange fish, Luo Guangshun skillfully used a lasso to catch the body of the strange fish and dragged it ashore. He put it in a wooden box and continued to wait.

He waited like this for almost half a day and only consumed four pheasants. Luo Guangshun easily caught and killed five strange fish and completed Zhou Chun's commission.

After that he lingered no longer, and soon began to return with his spoils.

After making sure that Luo Guangshun had gone far away, Zhou Chun, who had been using the "Forest Hidden Cicada Breathing Technique" to conceal himself, walked out from the darkness, then looked at the pool in front of him and began to ponder.

He had witnessed the entire process of Luo Guangshun fishing.

How can I describe the whole process? Just two words: simple.

too easy!

It was so simple that he felt sorry for the spirit coins he spent.

No wonder Luo Guangshun was so disappointed when he heard that he only bought three or four strange fish.

"But how come so many fish monsters appear in this small mountain pond? What do these fish monsters eat to grow so big?"

Zhou Chun looked at the pool of water in front of him, his eyes flickering.
