Cultivating Immortals in the Family: Rising from Beast Familiarity

Chapter 280 Surprised by Insect Plague 【Subscription】

The north wind blows, and the autumn wind is cool.

Soon it will be the fall of the year again.

This is the No.40 autumn when Zhou Chun came to this world, and it is also the No.40 year when the Zhou family took root in Jiufengling.

Yes, without knowing it, the Zhou family has been in Yasukuni for 40 years.

Zhou Chun also stayed in this world for 40 years.

Over the past 40 years, Zhou Chun has changed a lot, and so has the Zhou family.

During these 40 years, many elders familiar to Zhou Chun passed away due to various reasons, and many younger generations grew up under his nose.

He lost some elders and gained more younger ones.

The latest statistics show that the Zhou family's own population has reached 240 people, which is hundreds of people more than the number of Zhou family members 40 years ago.

At the same time, the Zhou family only has 7000 spirit coins in stock in their accounts.

Some people have money, the current Zhou family is so arrogant!

Of course, Zhou Chun himself has changed even more.

40 years have passed, he was only at the sixth level of the Qi refining stage, and now he is at the middle stage of foundation establishment.

And he is only 61 years old this year, and it is very likely that he will break through to the late stage of foundation establishment before the age of 80.

If it is successful, it may not be difficult for him to open up the Purple Mansion before the age of a hundred.

So the person in the Zhou family who really has a bright future is actually him.

Autumn is the harvest season.

Many pregnant female animals in the Zhou Family Animal Garden have given birth to offspring during this season, so that the offspring have the ability to survive the winter before the arrival of winter snow.

Zhou Chun is also ordering people to find various materials for exchange, and is preparing to go to Longyuanze to conduct a trade with the scaled frog alien race led by Lu Ran before the arrival of Dongxue.

Now that the Dragon Transformation Sect has fully shrunk and returned to the main altar, the scaled frog alien tribe by the Longyuan Lake has also ushered in a period of rapid development.

The trade with the Zhou family gave the scaled frogs who surrendered to Lu Ran a large number of high-quality weapons. They all benefited greatly from conquering other tribes and obtaining food, and the number of tribe members also increased year by year. many.

The Zhou family also benefited greatly from the large amount of water treasures that the Zhou family obtained from the scaled frog alien race.

The only fly in the ointment is that these rare treasures from the waters have to be picked up by the Qinglian Temple for those precious things, and the price is not high.

On this day, after all the materials for exchange were prepared, Zhou Chun personally took the items and went to Longyuanze with Zhou Daoquan.

Baibai, the silver lightning thunder python, is already capable of commuting between the two places at this time, and it only takes one day to bring Zhou Chun to Longyuanze under the condition of going downstream.

Because it is not the first time that the two parties have traded, and the relevant procedures are going very fast.

After Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoquan arrived at Longyuanze, they quickly contacted Lu Ran, and then handed over the things they brought to the other party, and then obtained the corresponding amount of water treasures from the other party according to the approximate value of the goods.

In fact, in this kind of trade, the really valuable and precious things are those things that Lu Ran needs.

Spirit tea, spirit wine, spirit incense, all kinds of things enjoyed by high-level immortal cultivators are all things that Lu Ran has ordered for a long time.

When it comes to enjoyment now, he knows how to enjoy it even more than the Jindan stage monks.

In order to buy some new varieties for him that have never been used, the Zhou family even entrusted or sent people to Fengguo and Chengguo to buy them.

But for the Zhou family, they are not afraid that Lu Ran will enjoy it, but they are afraid that Lu Ran will not enjoy it.

If Lu Ran wholeheartedly wants to use this kind of trade to strengthen the power of the scaled frog alien race, then the Zhou family may have to think twice and treat this kind of trade with caution.

But now, no matter what kind of spirit tea and spirit wine Lu Ran wants, the Zhou family will try their best to get them for him, as long as he can afford something of equal value in exchange.

After the trade ended, Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoquan took the harvested rare treasures from the underground river upstream and returned to Lanzhou in two days.

Afterwards, according to the rules, Zhou Chun directly sent the things to Qinglian Temple for selection.

The Taoist who is in charge of selecting rare treasures from the water area at Qinglian Temple is a cultivator of the Zifu period. He has extensive knowledge and has a strong ability to appreciate all kinds of rare treasures from the water area.

Even Lu Ran and Zhou's family didn't know the names and uses of many rare treasures in the water area, and he was able to tell a few things, which made Zhou's family learn a lot of new knowledge in the process.

After the Taoist priests of Qinglian Temple selected those rare water treasures as usual, Zhou Chun prepared to leave and return to the family with the remaining water treasures and spirit coins.

Unexpectedly, before the others left the gate of Qinglian Temple, they were suddenly stopped, saying that it was the temple master Qing Weizi who had summoned him.

Ever since he suffered a big loss from the ancestor of the Su family, Zhou Chun never dared to neglect these Jindan stage monks again.

Knowing that it was Qing Weizi who had summoned him, he hurriedly turned around and went to the main hall to meet him.

"Junior Zhou Zhengchun, I pay my respects to Senior Guanzhu."

In the main hall of the sect master, after Zhou Chun saw Qing Weizi who was sitting upright, he bent down and saluted respectfully.

Seeing this, Qing Weizi couldn't help but waved his hand and said: "Young Zhou, you don't need to be too polite. I called you here today because I know that you are behind our door, and I just want to ask you about something."

Hearing his words, Zhou Chun immediately saluted with a look of sincerity and trepidation: "Senior speaks too seriously, junior, how can you be capable, how dare you ask senior for advice, senior is useful to junior, just ask. "

"I know that your Zhou family is good at the art of controlling beasts, and has unique achievements in the art of controlling animals. I wonder if there is any research on the art of repelling insects?"

Qing Weizi narrowed her eyes slightly and asked softly.

When Zhou Chun heard this, he didn't have time to think about it, and immediately replied respectfully: "My lord, it is clear that the art of controlling beasts and the art of expelling insects do have something in common, but my Zhou family is not familiar with any art of expelling insects. The understanding of various monster insects is limited to the records in the monster beast illustrated book."

He didn't know why Qing Weizi asked about the technique of repelling insects, but his intuition told him that it's best not to say too much about such things.

But Qing Weizi didn't seem to want to let him pass the test easily.

After listening to Zhou Chun's answer, Qing Weizi's eyes flickered slightly, then she waved her sleeve suddenly, and handed something to Zhou Chun.

"Then look at this thing, can you recognize this kind of monster?"

Zhou Chun fixed his eyes, and saw that the thing that Qing Weizi handed to him was the corpse of a khaki monster the size of a fist.

This strange insect looks somewhat like an ant, and also somewhat similar to a mole cricket, with sharp mouthparts and a pair of clawed feet.

This is the first time Zhou Chun has seen such a strange demon worm.

He took the corpse of the monster insect into his hand, looked it up and down carefully, then shook his head at Qing Weizi and said: "Senior Guanzhu Mingjian, this junior doesn't know this kind of monster insect. The information of this kind of demon insects has been collected."

I thought that after answering this way, this matter should end here.

But what Zhou Chun didn't expect was that after hearing his words, Qing Weizi talked about the origin of the monster insect in his hand again.

"You don't know this kind of monster, and I don't know this kind of monster, but now this kind of monster has gathered in groups and flooded Yang Kingdom, and now half of Yang Kingdom has been destroyed by this pest plague, and countless people and monks have suffered from this Monster insects devour!"

"It is estimated that there are hundreds of millions of these demonic insects in Yang Kingdom, and their population is so huge that even monks in the Nascent Soul Stage can't get rid of them!"

"Right now, Yang Kingdom has been unable to contain the plague of insects. We can only send people to ask for help everywhere, soliciting good strategies for getting rid of insects. At the same time, we have sent out humanitarian help orders to neighboring countries and factions, asking all countries to send people to Yang Kingdom to help fight the plague of insects!"

Even the Nascent Soul cultivators are helpless?

Zhou Chun's complexion changed, he looked at the corpse of the demon insect in his hand, and suddenly felt that it was very hot.

Only then did he know why Qing Weizi suddenly called him over to ask about the technique of repelling insects.

If what Qing Weizi said is not exaggerated, then this matter is really terrible.

Regarding the power of insect disasters, Zhou Chun has seen many records in the classics.

According to the records in the ancient books, the biggest pest disaster in this world was the "spirit-eating locust plague" that occurred thousands of years ago.

At that time, a monster insect named "Spirit-eating Demon Locust" suddenly appeared. This insect was born with the ability to devour all spiritual energy to evolve, and its reproduction speed was very fast.

Because at the beginning, this kind of monster insect only appeared in a certain alien territory, and failed to attract the attention of the human race's immortal cultivation world.

At that time, a powerful alien race was almost wiped out by this kind of monster, and then all countries of the human race also suffered heavy losses in the invasion of this kind of monster, and more than a dozen monks in the Nascent Soul stage fell!
Later, it is said that a certain sixth-level alien powerhouse displayed a shocking supernatural power, forcibly beheading the most powerful insect king and many fifth-level and fourth-level monsters in the swarm, and then gathered the power of the human race and several major alien races to forcibly kill him. This plague was extinguished.

Since then, all locust-evolved monsters have been wiped out by the human race and various alien races, and any signs of it will be snuffed out.

That kind of "spirit-eating locust" was completely wiped out!
In addition to this "spirit-eating locust plague", there have been many smaller-scale insect disasters in the history of the cultivation world in the past, and those insect disasters worthy of being recorded in the classics will take countless lives every time they erupt.

Undoubtedly, the pest plague that broke out in Yang Kingdom at this time has already had enough signs to be included in the classics.

"Senior Guanzhu, can you talk about the ability of this monster insect? What kind of ability does it have, even the great supernatural powers of the Nascent Soul stage can hardly extinguish it!"

Zhou Chun couldn't help asking Qing Weizi about the information about the demon worm in his hand, and he also attached great importance to this matter.

"According to the people of Yangguo, this kind of demon insects have a very strong ability to grow and adapt. They are just ordinary insects when they are born, and their size is only a little bigger than ordinary ants. It can grow to the size of the demon insect in your hand."

"They are born to burrow into the ground. After the first evolution, they will evolve wings and have the ability to fly. At the same time, their teeth are extremely sharp and can bite through flying swords of the same level. The claw feet also have a strong cutting ability. Many It will also evolve the ability to spit venom."

"And the most noteworthy point of this kind of monster insect is that as long as they devour a spiritual object of a certain attribute before the first mutation and evolution, they can awaken and master the magic power of that attribute, and continue to evolve at an extremely fast speed. "

"The most frightening thing is that when advanced to become a second-order monster worm, this monster worm can also have a high probability of evolving a second attribute power, making them stronger and more difficult to destroy after evolution!"

"Currently, there has even appeared an insect king equivalent to a monk in the early stage of the Nascent Soul in Yangguo. With the power of the swarm, even a monk in the late stage of the Nascent Soul can hardly kill him!"

Qing Weizi didn't keep any secrets at all, and soon told Zhou Chun truthfully what she knew from Yang Guolai's envoy.

But just listening to his report, Zhou Chun can also feel the horror.

It grows and evolves fast, can drill into the ground and fly into the sky, reproduces extremely fast, and has a strong ability to mutate!
When these abilities are combined on a monster, it will be very scary.

Dang even couldn't help but said: "According to what Senior Guanzhu said, the power of insect disasters is already so huge, I'm afraid that ordinary methods of eliminating disasters will not be effective. Even if we can find a way to restrain those ordinary monster insects, it will be difficult to deal with them Get those high-level monsters!"

But after Qing Weizi heard his words, she shook her head slightly and said: "You are wrong, if you can find a way to eliminate ordinary demon insects, you can fundamentally prevent the population of demon insects from continuing to expand, and then stop more demon insects Evolve into a high-level monster."

"As long as the number of high-level monster insects cannot continue to be supplemented and increased, and the size of the insect swarm is continuously eliminated and reduced, it will not be difficult to eliminate the plague of insects!"

Having said that, Qing Weizi finally revealed her real intention for summoning Zhou Chun.

"Since Yangguo has issued a humanitarian distress order, for the overall consideration of the unity of the human race, our sect, Moonlun Sect, and Yanyangzong must all send people to Yangguo to help eliminate the disaster."

"Xiaoyou Zhou, since your family is proficient in the art of controlling beasts, and also has research on monsters and monsters, you might as well send a few people to accompany the monks of this sect to Yang Kingdom."

"If the Zhou family can really play a big role in eradicating the pest plague, the seniors of Yang Kingdom will definitely reward you a lot afterward!"

But it turned out that they wanted the Zhou family to send people to participate in the support of Yangguo, and wanted to use the Zhou family's attainments in the art of controlling beasts to try to find a way to eliminate the pests.

It has to be said that Qing Weizi's calculation is very good.

As the cultivating family under the jurisdiction of Qinglian Temple, the Zhou family, if they really made a lot of contributions to eradicating the pests, then the benefits of Qinglian Temple must be much more than that of the Zhou family.

And even if the Zhou family didn't make any effort, Qinglian Temple would not suffer any losses.

Fortunately, Qing Weizi's tone was not harsh, but a discussion tone, which made Zhou Chun feel more at ease.

Immediately replied respectfully: "Senior Guanzhu's meaning, this junior understands. After returning to the family, this junior will talk about this matter with the elders, and see what the elders mean."

　The first update today, and another update tonight!
