Chapter 90: Searching for Jiao at Sanjiangkou, Xu Kaishan’s invitation [Subscribe]

Since the news of the appearance of a dragon in the lower reaches of the Cangyun River cannot be concealed, the cultivators in Yunzhou will definitely have some ideas.

This was exactly what Zhou Chun expected.

But there was one thing that also seemed strange to him.

Since the high-level monks of Qinglian Temple saw that the dragon appeared here to build a nest and lay eggs, and they were preparing to kill the dragon and take the eggs.

Then why didn't they warn these local cultivators in Yunzhou to prevent them from disturbing the dragon and causing their plan to fail?

Or are they confident that no matter how hard the local cultivators of Yunzhou try, they will not scare away the dragon?
However, despite his doubts, Zhou Chun knew that it was not his place to comment on such matters.

He just needs to do what he is supposed to do.

So he studied the map handed over by Zhou Jiapeng and the locations where the dragons appeared. After comparing them with the locations where the dragons appeared that he had found out from the mortal world, he circled several important locations on the map.

Then he looked at Zhou Jiapeng and the others and said, "We don't know where the dragon has built its nest, and it's impossible for us to look for it blindly."

"So my suggestion is to station one person in each of these three places and take time out every day to obtain intelligence from the monks and nearby mortal towns."

"If anyone gets the latest news about the appearance of a dragon, they will immediately rush to the scene to observe, make relevant records, and then discuss the situation together."

His suggestion was very pertinent and not dangerous, so Zhou Jiapeng and the others naturally agreed to it quickly.

So the three of them discussed the details and agreed on some contact information, then separated again.

Without mentioning what happened to Zhou Jiapeng and the other man, let’s say that after Zhou Chun separated from the two, he put on makeup again and started walking in the world of immortal cultivation again as the casual cultivator Han Sanjue.

The place he designated for himself to garrison was called Sanjiangkou, where the two tributaries of the Cangyun River merge into the main river. A dragon had previously caused a flood there.

When he arrived at Sanjiangkou, he easily found some immortal cultivators who were also waiting there. Their cultivation levels varied. Some were obviously family cultivators, while others were just independent cultivators.

There is no doubt that the reasons these people came here are similar to his.

"Fellow Daoist, are you here to look for dragons as well? Can we chat and exchange our views?"

On the river bank, Zhou Chun was sitting cross-legged on a big rock, looking at the surging river and thinking about something, when suddenly a loud shout came from dozens of feet behind him.

He looked back and saw a middle-aged man in gray and a young man in black looking at him.

Seeing him looking back, the middle-aged man smiled back at him.

After thinking about it, he stood up and slowly walked towards the two of them, then stopped about ten feet away, bowed to them and said, "My name is Han Sanjue, what are your names, fellow Taoists?"

"I'm Xu Kaishan, and this is my friend Ding Yizhen."

The middle-aged man bowed in return and also gave the names of the two men.

Then he looked at Zhou Chun and said, "Xu has been observing Fellow Daoist Han for a while. I can tell that you are probably a casual cultivator as well, so I took the liberty to come and disturb you, hoping to get to know you."

"Oh, are Fellow Daoist Xu and Fellow Daoist Ding also independent cultivators?"

Zhou Chun's eyes flashed with a strange look, and he immediately asked, "Where do you two Taoist friends usually practice?"

"We two have no fixed place to live, and we have been living all over the world. If we were to ask where we practice, we would probably go to the Jiang family in Shilongling to practice more often."

Xu Kaishan didn't shy away from anything and answered Zhou Chun's questions in a very friendly manner.

Then he looked at Zhou Chun and asked, "Fellow Daoist Han, what about you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun said without blinking, "Han is not a native cultivator of Yunzhou. He just came to Yunzhou from Lanzhou a few months ago and currently has no fixed place to stay."

"So Fellow Daoist Han is actually from Lanzhou. How disrespectful!"

Xu Kaishan was startled and immediately became more polite.

Low-level cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation generally don't move too far.

The independent cultivators from Yunzhou rarely go to Lanzhou to make a living, and the independent cultivators from Lanzhou also rarely come to Yunzhou to make a living.

Generally speaking, monks who do this are either those who think they are skilled and brave, or those who have offended a powerful person in the local area and have been forced to leave their hometown.

No matter which one it is, it’s not easy to mess with.

After they told each other their names and origins, which were unknown whether they were real or fake, and had some tentative exchanges, at Xu Kaishan's invitation, Zhou Chun followed the two of them to a nearby mortal town. The three of them discussed the appearance of the dragon in the Cangyun River in a restaurant in the town.

After this conversation, Zhou Chun found out that Xu Kaishan was actually an eyewitness who had seen the dragon causing a flood with his own eyes.

"At that time, heavy rains fell from the sky and floods raged. Countless people on both sides of the river were displaced, and countless people and animals died in the floods, many of whom were devoured by the evil dragon."

"Because of the heavy rain that blocked our view, Xu could only see the silhouette of a dragon with a few scales and claws from a distance on the mountain on the bank of the river..."

Inside the restaurant's private room, Xu Kaishan's face lit up as he described what he had seen and heard that day in vivid detail, his tone sounding quite excited.

As if this is something very worth showing off.

There was no sympathy in his words for the mortal people who died in the flood, and he didn't care about their lives or deaths at all.

This attitude of indifference to the life and death of mortals made Zhou Chun frown slightly, and he felt a little displeased with him.

Generally speaking, cultivators are accustomed to matters of life and death, so when they see a large number of mortals of their own race being harmed by monsters, they should feel empathy and anger.

There is no rule that requires cultivators to sacrifice themselves to rescue mortals who are harmed by evil dragons.

If you don't have the ability, you don't have to save people.

But if there is no sympathy at all and even this matter is used as a topic of conversation, then it is too cold-blooded.

Such a cold-blooded person is obviously not someone worth making friends with.

Xu Kaishan did not notice Zhou Chun's little movements, or even if he saw it, he could not guess what he was thinking.

He was immersed in his own rhythm.

After telling Zhou Chun what he had seen and heard that day, he could not help but smile bitterly and said, "I am not afraid of being laughed at by Daoist Fellow Han. I have always considered myself a courageous person and have experienced many dangerous things in my life."

“But after I saw the dragon that day, I was overwhelmed by its might and could hardly move a step. For the next half month, I even had nightmares. In my dreams, I saw all kinds of horrifying scenes of being devoured by the dragon!”

The dragon power aura of a third-level dragon is already similar to some kind of soul attack spell, so it is normal for low-level cultivators to be captivated by it.

And this was because Xu Kaishan was far enough away at the time. If he had come into close contact with the evil dragon that was causing the flood, it would not have been as simple as having nightmares for half a month.

It is very likely that he will be killed to death on the spot by the dragon's mighty aura, or he will surrender to the evil dragon like a monster and become its puppet and minion.

The Zhou family once had an ancestor named Zhou Tong who had killed a fourth-order dragon. The records he left behind about the dragon's magical powers were very detailed. Almost every cultivator in the Zhou family had read the relevant books, and Zhou Chun was naturally no exception.

So after listening to Xu Kaishan's narration, he was not surprised at all, but just asked with concern: "Then Fellow Daoist Xu, did you see the appearance of the evil dragon clearly? Do you know what kind of dragon it is?" Dragon is a general term for a race. In fact, just like dogs can be divided into many species, there are also many species of dragons.

For example, a fire dragon that can spit fire...

An ice dragon that spits out ice and snow...

The green dragon that can control the wind and gather clouds...

The black dragon that can summon wind and rain...

A thunder dragon that can manipulate lightning...

A poisonous dragon with a poisonous body...

All of these are different.

The strength of different species of dragons naturally varies.

After hearing Zhou Chun's words, Xu Kaishan just shook his head and said, "I can't recognize what dragon it is. I just vaguely saw that the dragon's scales seemed to be black, and there were black clouds around it."

The dragon scales are black, accompanied by black clouds?
Zhou Chun's expression changed, as if he was thinking about something.

As far as he knew, there were probably three or four types of dragons that fit this appearance, among which the black dragon and the black dragon were the most likely.

The black dragon and the black dragon are very similar in appearance, and their abilities are not much different. It is easy to confuse them if you are not a cultivator who has a deep understanding of dragons.

But in fact, the black dragon belongs to water, and it is possible that it can master wind and thunder spells.

Although the black dragon is also of the water element, it is poisonous and is said to possess some of the abilities of a poisonous dragon.

Both of these types of dragons are ferocious and violent, and are standard types of evil dragons.

But Xu Kaishan was too suspicious at this time, and Zhou Chun didn't want to think about it in detail.

He immediately said, "But Han seems to have heard that there is more than one dragon that appeared in Cangyun River this time. It is said that someone has seen a green dragon!"

"Has Fellow Daoist Han also heard about this?"

Xu Kaishan's face flashed with surprise, and then he nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Xu has also heard that someone has seen the figure of Qing Jiao at Xifeng Ferry, but I don't know if it is true or not!"

At this point, Xu Kaishan suddenly looked at Zhou Chun intently and asked softly, "Excuse me for being so presumptuous, but I wonder what your plan is for coming to Sanjiangkou to look for the dragon?"

The drama is coming!

Zhou Chun's heart moved, knowing that Xu Kaishan was going to confront him.

From the very beginning, he knew that the main purpose of Xu Kaishan and the other man coming to him was not to exchange any news about the dragon.

It was just an excuse to get closer to him.

He also wanted to know more information, and he was confident in his own strength and wisdom, so he did not refuse the other party's invitation.

Now that he has been given a little "sweetness", Xu Kaishan is obviously ready to show his cards.

But he was not prepared to follow Xu Kaishan's script.

He did not avoid the other party's gaze, but looked at him deeply and asked, "Then what are your plans, Brother Xu? The dragon is ferocious and powerful. We low-level cultivators should stay away from it. Why did you two take the initiative to look for the dragon, Brother Xu?"

His question made Xu Kaishan slightly stunned. He couldn't help but frowned, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

But thinking of Zhou Chun's cultivation level of the tenth level of Qi Refining Stage and his background of coming to Yunzhou alone from Lanzhou, he suppressed his emotions.

He quickly replied, "Xu and the other two know that their cultivation is low, so of course they don't dare to attack the dragon. They just want to get a little share of the soup from this feast."

"This grand feast? Why does Fellow Daoist Xu say that?"

Zhou Chun looked at Xu Kaishan in surprise, his attention already attracted by what he said.

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Han doesn't know yet!"

Xu Kaishan sighed softly, then said solemnly:
"The dragon is a spiritual beast of heaven and earth, and its body is full of treasures. It is rare for a dragon to appear in Yunzhou this time. The high-level cultivators of those immortal cultivation sects and families will definitely not stand idly by and remain indifferent."

"As far as I know, many Purple Mansion cultivators and even Golden Core cultivators from the big families in Yunzhou are now colluding with each other to plot to slay the dragon."

"I'm afraid it won't be long before they take action after they have agreed on the distribution of benefits!"

Zhou Chun felt relieved when he heard this.

He thought that the news that the high-level cultivators of Qinglian Temple were preparing to slay the dragon and seize its eggs had already spread, and even casual cultivators like Xu Kaishan knew about it!

As for what Xu Kaishan said now about the high-level cultivators in Yunzhou colluding to plot to slay the dragon, Zhou Chun could guess it without even having to hear about it.

But he knew even more clearly that once the high-level monks of Qinglian Temple intervened, these people's plans would be in vain.

Maybe those high-level monks of Qinglian Temple are still thinking of taking advantage of the situation and letting these people go over to test the strength of the dragon and consume its magic power.

At this time, Zhou Chun's mind was turning, but he looked puzzled and said:

"Han still doesn't understand. Even if those high-level cultivators are going to slay the dragon, let alone the question of success or failure, there will surely be many foundation-building cultivators from various families and sects present. Even if there is any dragon blood or dragon scales dropped, it won't be the turn of low-level cultivators like us to pick them up, right?"

Hearing his words, Xu Kaishan immediately smiled.

He said with great pride: "Fellow Daoist Han, you may not know this. As far as I know, dragons usually have the habit of raising other water monsters as servants and backup food."

“When those high-level cultivators fight with the dragons, the water demon servants they raise will surely come out to protect their masters. At that time, the foundation-building cultivators from those families and sects will surely go to eliminate the water demon servants. That’s when the opportunity I’m waiting for will come.”

At this point, he also said temptingly: "Friend Han, think about it. As long as we can pick up a few fallen dragon scales or collect some dragon spirit blood, we can at least earn hundreds or even thousands of spirit coins. Isn't this more profitable than searching for spiritual medicine all over the mountains and plains?"

"I see! If it is as Fellow Daoist Xu said, then this matter is indeed very promising."

Zhou Chun nodded slightly with a look of sudden realization on his face, and a hint of interest appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Xu Kaishan immediately struck while the iron was hot and said, "If Fellow Daoist Han feels that the three of us are not safe enough, I also have some good friends nearby."

"If we can gather a dozen people to enter the venue together, even if some family monks find us, they will be cautious and dare not attack us easily!"

He had said this, and Zhou Chun felt that there was no need to pretend any longer.

In addition, Zhou Chun now also wants to see whether Xu Kaishan is a human or a ghost, and what kind of person is behind him!
At the same time, we also want to use it to collect more information about the dragon.

He nodded slightly and said, "In that case, then count Han as one of them!"

I just remembered that when I was in the desert, I also wrote a story about slaying a dragon, but at that time it was just to serve the plot and it was not well written. This time I laid the thread well, participated in this big event from another perspective, and at the same time portrayed some big scenes, it should be much more exciting!
