Cultivating Immortals in the Family: Rising from Beast Familiarity

Chapter 369 The Dust Settled 【Subscription】

The sun rises and the moon sets, and in the blink of an eye, three years have passed since Zhou Chun opened up the Zifu and left the customs.

And after these three years of practice, Lin Hongyu, who had retreated and consolidated her cultivation in the Great Zhou Kingdom, finally returned to the Zhou family with Zhou Daoyi.

At this time, Lin Hongyu had stabilized her cultivation, she could restrain her aura of a golden core stage monk, and walk in the world of cultivating immortals disguised as an ordinary monk.

Therefore, under Zhou Chun's arrangement, she easily entered the Zhou family's mountain gate, and met with the senior members of the Zhou family in Zhou Mingde's cave mansion on the Pagoda Peak.

This time, in order to welcome Lin Hongyu, a newly promoted monk of the Golden Core stage, even Zhou Daoquan, who was far away in the wilderness, was specially driven by Zhou Chun to bring him back to the family.

Including Zhou Daoyi, the four Zifu period monks of the Zhou family gathered in the cave.

This is the first time since Zhou Daoquan went to Longxing Valley to sit in the township, all the four Zifu period monks of the Zhou family sat together.

"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Lin (Senior Lin) for achieving the golden core and living for a thousand years!"

Outside Zhou Mingde's cave, when Zhou Daoyi arrived here with Lin Hongyu, Zhou Mingde, Zhou Daoquan, and Zhou Chun all gave him a deep salute and congratulated him with serious faces.

"Thank you for the congratulations from the three fellow daoists, and hope that the three fellow daoists can also become golden pills in the future."

With a slight smile on Lin Hongyu's face, she accepted the three people's congratulations frankly, and returned the gift politely.

After being courteous outside, the five of them entered the cave together.

When they arrived in the cave, the five of them took their seats. As a junior, Zhou Chun took the initiative to make tea for the four of them.

Then Zhou Mingde took a sip of the spirit tea, then suddenly looked at Lin Hongyu and asked, "Now Daoist Lin Daoist has reached the golden alchemy, the world is as big as it is, what do you think about it in the future?"

Hearing his question, Lin Hongyu immediately replied without hesitation: "I am able to successfully form the alchemy this time, thanks to the great help of all the Taoist friends of the Zhou family. Now that I have succeeded, I should fulfill my original promise. In the future, I will do my best to help the Zhou family rise!"

This answer immediately made Zhou Mingde smile, and he couldn't help applauding: "Okay, good, good, good, good, with Lin Daoyou's words, Zhou is completely at ease!"

Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoquan, who were on the side, also looked like their hearts were in their stomachs, and they couldn't help smiling.

Before that, what they were most worried about was undoubtedly that after Lin Hongyu successfully formed an alchemy, she would directly cross the river and demolish the bridge, abandoning the Zhou family and flying away.

In that case, the Zhou family really has nothing to do with her, and the previous huge investment of spiritual coins is also in vain.

Now with Lin Hongyu's personal promise, they can finally put their hearts back in their stomachs.

After laughing for a while at this moment, Zhou Mingde looked at Lin Hongyu and asked again: "Daoyi should have told Fellow Daoist Lin about the plan we were discussing before. I don't know if Fellow Daoist Lin has any opinions on this?"

"I don't have any major opinions. It's just that although the concubine has successfully formed the alchemy, the refining of the most important natal magic weapon has not made any progress. In the future, I may run around many times to find suitable magic weapons. Spiritual materials, there is no way to sit in the stronghold in the wilderness all the time."

Lin Hongyu didn't hide anything, and spoke her thoughts directly and honestly.

She is now a Jindan stage monk, so there is really no need to play tricks in front of Zhou Mingde and others, just do it rashly.

I believe that Zhou Mingde and others will not give her face because of her telling the truth.

This is the confidence and confidence brought by strength.

Sure enough, after hearing her words, Zhou Mingde quickly said: "Refining the talisman is indeed the top priority of the newly promoted Jindan stage monks, but if it is just to collect the spiritual materials for the talisman, Fellow Daoist Lin doesn't need to do everything by himself. Just tell me the relevant spiritual materials you need to use, and the family will naturally arrange monks to find information for you, Fellow Daoist Lin."

"If the family can help to find it, it is a great thing, but the concubine is disrespectful."

Lin Hongyu nodded slightly, and agreed without refusing.

At this time, Zhou Daoyi also interrupted and said: "Before I come back, I will go to the stronghold of Yangguo. Hongyu has already demonstrated her identity as a monk of the golden core stage there, and no one will dare to attack that stronghold in the future." What's the idea."

"As for Hongyu, she has decided to give all her income from that stronghold and the remaining output of the [Earth Element Crystal Jade] mine to Zhengchun in return for Zhengchun's previous generosity!"

Hearing this, Zhou Chun hurriedly saluted Lin Hongyu and said, "Thank you, Senior Lin, for your kindness."

He did not refuse Lin Hongyu's reward.

Because he knew very well that since Lin Hongyu had become a monk of the Jindan period, he would definitely not owe him a favor from a junior of the Zifu period.

It was as if Zhou Chun, if he owed another foundation-building monk a favor and could repay it, he would definitely repay it.

At this time, if he refused Lin Hongyu's reward, it would be a very stupid approach, and it would be easy for people to misunderstand that he had other plans.

Sure enough, seeing that he accepted the reward so happily, Lin Hongyu also showed a smile, and immediately said to him with a smile: "I should be the one who thanked you Zhengchun, but you have enlightened and saved my life and Wan'er successively." Grace."

Hearing what she said, it was obvious that she had already learned about Zhou Chun's rescue from Lin Wan'er.

After a few people chatted about some things, Lin Hongyu went back to Zhou Daoyi's cave to rest.

But after she left, the four Zifu period monks of the Zhou family discussed another matter.

I saw Zhou Mingde glanced at the faces of the three juniors, and said in a low voice: "You said, do you want the family to hand over the magic weapon that the old man got from Yang Kingdom to Fellow Daoist Lin?"

At the beginning, he got two magic weapons from the storage bag of Jindan stage monk Han Yuan, one of them was given to Zhou Chun as a betrothal gift to the ancestors of the Su family, in exchange for the ancestors of the Su family to protect the Zhou family and prevent Zhou Chun from coming. Qi Kingdom Jindan monk who took revenge on his family.

But the other magic weapon has been sealed in the Zhou family's secret treasury, and it is kept secret. Only a few core monks of the Zhou family know of its existence.

Now several Zifu period monks of the Zhou family are still very far away from forming alchemy, so they don't need that magic weapon at all.

However, Lin Hongyu, a newly promoted Jindan stage monk, has no magic weapon to use.

No wonder Zhou Mingde brought up this matter now.

Hearing him talk about this matter at this time, Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Chun were still thinking and pondering, but Zhou Daoquan, who has always spoken less, spoke first: "The younger generation thought that it would be too late to hand over that magic weapon to Fellow Daoist Lin for sacrifice." It’s not impossible, but at least we have to wait until she has actually been in charge of the family for decades, or after she has made achievements for the family.”

After saying this, Zhou Daoyi, who was still in deep thought, quickly nodded in response: "What Daoquan clan brother said is not unreasonable, and you will not be rewarded for nothing. Hongyu has been greatly favored by the family before she formed the alchemy. Now How can we take such treasures without making an inch of merit."

"What about you, Zhengchun? How do you view this matter?"

Zhou Mingde's eyes suddenly fell on Zhou Chun and asked his opinion.

Zhou Chun heard the words, and immediately said: "The younger generation feels that what the two elders said is reasonable. Even if the magic weapon is to be handed over to Senior Lin for sacrifice, it should wait for her to sit in the family for a period of time before talking about it."

"Since all three of you think so, let's do this."

When Zhou Mingde said this, he ended the conversation among several people.

A few days later, Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Daoquan accompanied Lin Hongyu to the wilderness through the underground waterway.

When Zhou Daoyi came back from the wilderness, he brought back both Zhou Zhengyong and Xu Fu.

Zhou Zhengyong came back to visit relatives, and his Taoist companion, Sun Yujiao, was running out of life, so Zhou Chun specially asked him to come back to accompany his Taoist companion on the last journey.

And Xu Fu was transferred back because Zhou Chun wanted him to preside over the work of arresting bandits.

With Lin Hongyu's return from alchemy, the expansion of the Caiyu Mountain stronghold could no longer be delayed.

Now that the problem with the array has been resolved, there is only a sufficient number of monks to maintain the operation of the stronghold.

Therefore, the matter of arresting the bandits must be carried out immediately.

In Zhongping Hall, three foundation-building monks, Xu Fu, Zhou Zhengbai, and Zhou Xinlan, were called here by Zhou Chun, and then he looked at the three of them and said, "I have a very important task to call you here today. Leave it to you to do it."

After speaking, he informed the three of them of the task of arresting the bandit.

Among the three, only Xu Fu had received Zhou Chun's approval before, and he knew who he was, so he didn't express any doubts about the task arranged by Zhou Chun.

However, Zhou Zhengbai and Zhou Xinlan, the two Zhou Family Foundation Establishment cultivators, were very surprised after hearing Zhou Chun's mission arrangement, and expressed doubts on the spot.

Regarding the questions from the two fellow monks, Zhou Chun just nodded slightly and said: "It's normal for you to have doubts in your heart, but I hope you can remember that some things are kept from you, not because you don't trust you, but because you don't trust them. To protect you."

Speaking of this, he also emphasized his tone and said: "I assigned this task to you today, and it is precisely because I trust that you will keep it a secret!"

"Yes, I will wait until I understand what to do."

Zhou Zhengbai and Zhou Xinlan looked at each other, and they should be respectful, so they didn't ask any more questions.

Afterwards, the two left the Zhou family mountain gate together with Xu Fu, and took the relevant intelligence information provided by the Zhou family intelligence hall, and went to various places in Yasukuni and neighboring countries to trap bandit cultivators.

Today is different from the past. In the past, the Zhou family was afraid of exposing their relationship with Lin Hongyu, the protector of the Hualong Sect, and to arrest bandit cultivators had to be done under the guise of the monster Aoki Spirit Ape.

Now arresting bandit cultivators is for the development of the family itself. Even if someone finds out, it's not a big deal. At most, it just makes some casual cultivators hostile to the Zhou family.

That's why Zhou Chun dared to boldly appoint Zhou's Foundation Establishment monks to do this matter.

After arranging the task at this time, Zhou Chunlue pondered for a while, but set off for the residence of the Zhou Family's Baiyitang.

The Baiyitang of the Zhou family is located on Xuanxuan Peak, and most of the monks of the Zhou family who practice the skills of refining weapons, making talismans, and arranging formations are here.

After Zhou Chun came to Baiyitang at this time, he went directly to the "Fire Engineering Institute", which is the refining area.

Those big sects like Qinglian Temple will open up the underground fire veins, and guide the underground fires that are thousands of feet deep underground for the sect monks to refine alchemy and weapons.

But it is not easy to do this, and the general Jindan family does not have this ability.

At the beginning, in order to build the ground fire room in Sanjue Sect, it was the Jindanqi monks from the Li family of Danyao and the formation master from the formation You family who managed to open up only three ground fire rooms.

Without the power of the ground fire room, if you want to refine alchemy and weapons, you have to use other methods.

Take the monks of the Zhou family as an example. During the Qi refining period of the Zhou family, when refining weapons and alchemy, there are generally three ways to make fire.

The first way is to burn something called Yang Flint. This thing is like coal from Zhou Chun's previous life. It is maroon in color and has a very high ignition point. It needs to be ignited with a magic flame. High temperature flames.

The second way is to use the magic weapon that can be set on fire. This magic weapon can release high-temperature flames as long as it is steadily injected with mana.

The third way is to use the demon fire of monsters, such as the flames spewed by monsters such as red flame wolf, flame pig, and fire pheasant.

Among these three methods, the first and third are the most used by Zhou family monks.

Choosing these two methods means that they can devote themselves wholeheartedly to the process of refining the alchemy, and don't need to be distracted to urge the magic weapon to set fire.

And after the foundation building period, because one's own mana can be transformed into the foundation building real fire, there is a new choice.

After Zhou Chun entered the Pyrotechnic Institute at this time, he quickly found the person he was looking for.

At the edge of a well, Zhou Xintie, the current head of the Zhou family's Baiyi Hall, was washing the hair of a huge red-haired wild boar. This red-haired wild boar was just his good helper in refining weapons, a first-grade high-grade monster flame pig.

At this time, as if sensing something, Zhou Xintie suddenly turned his head and looked behind him, and then saw Zhou Chun who was looking at him at a glance.

"Ah, patriarch, why are you here!"

His face was startled, and while exclaiming, he hastily turned around and greeted Zhou Chun.

"Have you just finished refining the weapon?"

Zhou Chun waved his hand, indicating that there is no need to be polite, and asked a question in his mouth.

Hearing his words, Zhou Xintie followed suit and said flatteringly: "The patriarch's eyes are as sharp as torches, and this junior has indeed just finished refining a weapon not long ago."

After finishing speaking, he smiled awkwardly and said, "Every time this bastard is finished refining, he has to come over and take a cold bath to feel comfortable, otherwise he won't cooperate with all his strength next time, and the younger generation has nothing to do with it, so we can only satisfy it! "

"This shows that it is very smart, no wonder your refining success rate is far better than others."

Zhou Chun smiled slightly, and also praised the junior.

Then he stated his purpose for coming today, "Do you still have what I told you before? After you complete the refining task I gave you, I will give you a big gift."

As he said that, he patted the storage bag on his waist, took out a jade bottle and handed it to Zhou Xintie, "This is my gift for you, please keep it!"

Seeing this, Zhou Xintie couldn't help reaching out to take the jade bottle, then glanced at Zhou Chun, and uncorked the bottle under his encouraging eyes.

"This is, this..."

Zhou Xintie glanced at the contents of the jade bottle, then looked at Zhou Chun in shock, his eyes full of excitement and disbelief.

Facing his shocked and excited eyes, Zhou Chun said indifferently: "This foundation building pill was obtained by myself outside, and I have not used any family property or connections, so it should be controlled by myself. .”

"Xin Tie, although your aptitude is mediocre, your talent in crafting is superior. The Zhou family now needs a talent like you to help the family make up for its shortcomings. This is the reason why I am willing to give you this Foundation Establishment Pill." .”

Hearing this, Zhou Xintie didn't know how to answer.

Dang even grabbed the jade bottle in his hand and nodded heavily: "This junior understands, this junior will definitely live up to the patriarch's high hopes and love!"
