Cultivating Immortals in the Family: Rising from Beast Familiarity

Chapter 389 The Golden Armored Rock Turtle Advances, the Method of Qinglian Temple 【Subscription】

In the end, Zhou Xinyan's practice of "Jiamu Xuangong", which is also dangerous, can only be determined by his own luck.

After the immortal cultivator builds the foundation, the path is almost fixed.

There are so many immortal cultivators in the Zhou family during the foundation establishment period, but few monks choose to practice the same skills.

Everyone is practicing different exercises, and when they encounter some difficulties in practice, most of the time they can only find ways to solve them by themselves.

It seems that Zhou Chun has never practiced "Jiamu Xuangong", and when Zhou Xinyan encounters difficulties in cultivation in the future, he will not give many suggestions.

This is why after the foundation is established, the choice of exercises must be cautious.

Time flies, and it is another two years in a blink of an eye.

In the past two years, Zhou Chun, apart from occasionally going to the wilderness to deliver supplies for the stronghold, and visiting those frost bees on the way, basically practiced in the family mountain gate. Zhou Daoquan returned to the Caiyu Mountain stronghold to sit in charge .

And although his cultivation base couldn't improve much in just two years, he had cultivated the Golden Armored Rock Turtle to the second-level top grade.

Mainly half a year ago, a Qi-refining cultivator from the Zhou family was lucky enough to discover a stalactite acupoint during his expedition in the wilderness of Yunzhou, in which a puddle of "Earth Yuan Spirit Milk" had condensed.

"Earth Essence Spiritual Milk" is a spiritual substance formed by absorbing the essence of earth element from ten thousand years of stone stalactite. It has a very good body quenching effect and is also an important supplementary material for refining many elixirs.

But for Zhou Chun's Golden Armored Rock Turtle, he is the best spiritual thing for improving cultivation, even better than the pill.

If a cultivator uses "Earth Yuan Spirit Milk" to quench his body, he must first get rid of the turbid and evil spirit in it, and then mix it with other elixir to avoid being infected with the poison of petrification.

But the Golden Armored Rock Turtle can take this substance directly to improve its cultivation.

Therefore, Zhou Chun directly used [-] points of family good deeds to buy all those "earth essence milk" and fed them to the golden-armored rock turtle.

Therefore, the Golden Armored Rock Tortoise, whose cultivation base was not far from being promoted to the second-rank top-rank monster, easily broke through to the second-rank top-rank.

As a monster known for its defensive power, after being mutated, the golden armored rock tortoise was promoted to the second-rank top-rank monster, and its defense power was strong enough to persist for several moves under the attack of the early cultivators of the Zifu.

Even the white "Tianleiqie" of the silver lightning thunder python can hardly tear its hard shell.

In this way, if he fights with ordinary early-stage cultivators of the Purple Mansion, Zhou Chun can release it and the Silver Lightning Thunder Python for nothing as helpers to put pressure on the enemy.

Now Zhou Chun is waiting for the news of Lin Hongyu's exit, and then he can plot the thousand-year-old dragon grass.

On this day, Zhou Chun was meditating at home as usual, and suddenly heard that an envoy from Qinglian Temple came to announce the decree.

The news surprised him, and he hurried to the mountain gate to greet him.

After arriving outside the mountain gate, Zhou Chun discovered that the monk who came to announce the decree was just a monk who established the foundation of Qinglian Temple.

This made him secretly relieved.

According to the unwritten rules of the world of cultivating immortals, the level of cultivation of the monk who announces the decree is closely related to the importance level of the decree he announces.

Given the current status of the Zhou family, if they really want to mobilize the Zhou family to do important things, at least one Zifuqi monk must come.

But although he was relieved in his heart, Zhou Chun welcomed him to the Pagoda Peak with a serious face, and called all the elders to welcome the decree together.

The decrees in the world of cultivating immortals are generally issued by the monks of the Jindan stage, so naturally they will not do anything like carrying forward the heavens, and it is even more impossible for people to kneel down to accept the decrees.

Zhou Chun and the others just stood in a row according to their status, arranged their appearances, and then the monk of Qinglian Temple took out the decree and read aloud: "The decree of the master of the temple, the Lanzhou Zhou family has a long tradition, the population is prosperous, and it has taken root in Lanzhou. Since the beginning of the state, he has performed meritorious service and can be set as an example for all the families. He is specially rewarded with one treasure talisman, three disciples from the inner sect, and ten disciples from the outer sect!"

After the reading, the envoy of Qinglian Guan took the edict in his hand, bowed his hands to Zhou Chun and said: "Senior Zhou, this junior is only responsible for announcing the edict, and you have to go to our gate to collect the related rewards in person."

"Zhou understands, thank you for your hard work, Fellow Daoist."

Zhou Chun nodded calmly, raised his hand to take the decree from his hand, then turned to Zhou Jiarui and said, "Fourth Elder, please take this fellow Taoist to rest, please treat him well."

After watching Zhou Jiarui leading them to the guest place to rest, Zhou Chun turned to look at the elders behind him, and found that everyone had different expressions on their faces, some were worried, while others were happy.

This made him sigh in his heart, he knew exactly what these people thought.

For a long time, few members of the Zhou family joined Qinglian Temple.

This is because Zhou Chun, including Zhou Chun, are all trying to control this matter.

After all, the Zhou family had always been short of people. How could they be willing to go to Qinglian Temple when their own family was not enough.

But things are different now.

Now the number of monks in the Zhou family has exceeded [-]. Although the family can afford to support these people, there are still very few people who have the opportunity to build a foundation in the family.

And now that Qinglian Temple is willing to give the Zhou family three places for inner disciples, it means that as long as the Zhou family sends people to occupy these three places, all three of them will be rewarded with the Foundation Establishment Pill.

This kind of reward directly to the disciples of the inner sect is also the special preferential treatment given to the cultivating families by the Qinglianguan sect, and generally only the families who have made great achievements can get it.

So those happy elders naturally thought that some of their juniors could compete for this spot.

But Zhou Chun knew in his heart that Qinglian Temple suddenly rewarded the Zhou family with these benefits at this time, not only because of the Zhou family's extraordinary performance in the battle to destroy the Jiang family, but also probably because of some precautions against the Zhou family.

Let Zhou family monks join Qinglian Temple by rewarding disciples. First, it can really inspire other families. Second, it can also make the Zhou family and Qinglian Temple more deeply bound. The Zhou family members of the sect can also play some special roles.

In fact, Zhou Chun, Zhou Mingde and others were also psychologically prepared for this day.

It's just that at this juncture, Qinglian Temple suddenly issued such a decree, which is really intriguing.

"Elders, go back first, I will send the decree to the Supreme Elder for a review!"

Even though Zhou Chun had all sorts of thoughts in his mind, his face was also emotional. After waving his hands to let the elders disperse, he went to the cave on the top of the mountain.

In the cave on the top of the mountain, Zhou Chun handed over the decree of Qinglian Temple to Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi who came to see it.

After the two finished watching, Zhou Mingde sighed softly: "This matter is still coming!"

"Yeah, although I knew this day would come, I don't want to come now!"

Zhou Daoyi also sighed, feeling very emotional.

After sighing like this, Zhou Mingde looked at Zhou Chun and asked: "Qinglian's Dharma decree has been issued, there is absolutely no room for evasion in this matter, Zhengchun, how do you think the family should deal with this matter?"

In the past, Qinglian Temple only gave the Zhou family the promotion order, or some people hinted that the Zhou family could send people to worship in Qinglian Temple.

For these, the Zhou family can still pretend not to know, and seal them up for use.

But now it is Qinglianguan who directly issued the decree, which is a notice, not a discussion.

The Zhou family didn't want to be charged with ignorance of flattery and disobedience, so they must obey obediently.

Therefore, after hearing Zhou Mingde's question, Zhou Chun immediately replied: "If you want the younger generation to look at it, it is natural that the three inner disciples should be selected from the late-stage Qi refining monks in the family who are expected to hit the foundation establishment. For the ten outer disciples, let's choose some younger tribe members with slightly lower aptitude!"

"Well, this arrangement is reasonable, but in my opinion, it's better to arrange as many female clansmen as possible to go there."

Zhou Mingde nodded slightly, and also put forward his own opinion.

It is not necessary for all the female cultivators of the Xiuxian family to marry, there are quite a few female cultivators who are devoted to Taoism and never marry for life.

But for the Immortal Cultivation family, with the same spiritual root qualifications, male cultivators are definitely more useful than female cultivators.

Not to mention that it is more efficient for male cultivators to continue the family blood, even male cultivators are generally better than female cultivators in terms of fighting skills.

Moreover, when the female cultivators are sent to the sect, firstly, they don’t have to worry about spreading their branches outside and establishing a new Zhou family. Secondly, if they form Taoist companions with the monks in the sect, it is tantamount to bringing more benefits to the family. A person who is available can be said to be multiple in one fell swoop.

So it was not surprising for Zhou Mingde to propose such a proposal.

He actually agrees with this, because for those female cultivators, going to the Zongmen is better than being in the family except for being separated from their relatives.

At least when they go to the sect, they can not only get the benefits of the sect, but also the family must have some subsidies in order to maintain their emotional ties to the family.

At this time, he quickly nodded in agreement and said: "The junior understands, then arrange for nine female cultivators and four male cultivators to complete the cultivation."

"That's how it is. At that time, Zhengchun, you will personally take someone to the gate of Qinglian Guan, and by the way, you will receive the talisman that Qinglian Guan rewarded, and it will be regarded as an extra piece of protection for you."

Zhou Mingde waved his hand and made the final decision.

By the time Zhou Chun came back from the cave on the top of the mountain, the news about the decree of Qinglian Contemplation had already begun to spread among the monks in the Qi refining period of the Zhou family.

Many monks in the Qi refining period of the Zhou family who originally thought that they had little hope of establishing a foundation felt that the opportunity had come. As long as they had no missions, they all came to the Pagoda Peak, hoping to let the patriarch Zhou Chun see their existence.

They all knew in their hearts that the family would definitely not send those people with outstanding aptitude to Qinglian Temple, and they would have sent them long ago.

So this is a once-in-a-century opportunity for them, and they all want to compete for this opportunity.

As for the distribution of the three inner disciples, Zhou Chun was indeed troubled.

There is no other reason. There are too many monks in the Zhou family who meet the requirements, and he can't just appoint three. It would be difficult to convince the crowd.

So I can only say in a deep voice to those clansmen who are wandering outside: "What you think, I already know that those who are in the late stage of Qi refining and under the age of 60 want to compete for three places for inner disciples!" Yes, come and sign up, let me see how many people there are!"

As soon as the words came out, within half a day, as many as 23 people signed up, and these were only those inside the family's mountain gate.

For those family monks who went out to perform missions or travel, Zhou Chun did not favor one another, and also ordered the intelligence hall to contact them as much as possible to explain the matter.

One month later, the final number of applicants has reached 42, of which eight are at the twelfth level of the Qi refining stage!

Zhou Chun was not surprised by this situation, but sighed helplessly in a low voice: "Sure enough, in the face of the temptation of building a foundation, even decades of family education and blood ties cannot make people choose to stay. !"

To say that these applicants are not loyal to the family is not true.

But to say that they are so loyal that they are willing to give up their own future for the sake of the family, obviously they are not.

Immortal cultivators are selfish. Bloodlines and kinship can only restrain them when they see little hope.

Once they are given hope that they can touch, not many of them can give up the opportunity to go up because of blood and family.

Zhou Chun asked himself, if one day he was trapped in the late stage of Zifu for hundreds of years, he would not see the hope of forming alchemy for a long time.

Suddenly, a certain sect was willing to provide him with a set of spiritual objects to assist him in forming alchemy, so that he could join in, and he might not necessarily stay for the sake of the Zhou family.

After all, the Zhou family would not be able to survive without him.

And if he doesn't have that set of auxiliary alchemy spirits, he may really have no hope of alchemy for the rest of his life!
Those monks of the Zhou family who signed up now have nothing more than this idea.

Moreover, in many people's minds, even if they joined the sect, they could still help the family.

They may even be thinking that if they succeed in building the foundation in Qinglian Temple and become a monk in the foundation stage of Qinglian Temple, they will be able to help the Zhou family better.

Under this psychological influence, they will not have any entanglement in signing up.

"Well, in order to convince them all, let's decide the outcome by fighting!"

Zhou Chun's eyes flickered, and after some hesitation, he decided to use the most commonly used method in the world of cultivating immortals to decide the candidate.

In addition, methods such as drawing lots to catch the week are easy to make people feel that there is a shady scene, and it is easy to generate dissatisfaction.

Of course, there must be a secret operation in the fighting method. At least Zhou Chun has decided to give treasures to several female tribesmen who signed up under the principle of more women than men.

After deciding on the method, Zhou Chun did not procrastinate, and immediately called people together and announced his decision.

Two days later, Zhou Chun personally presided over the martial arts competition in the arena that the Zhou family often used for martial arts competitions.

"This time, three places will be decided by the fighting method competition. Except for the use of secret techniques that damage one's own vitality, the other available methods are not restricted. This seat will personally host the competition, so you can rest assured to show what you have learned!"

On the ring, Zhou Chun looked at the dozens of registered monks with a calm expression and announced the rules, and then asked these people to compete on the stage one by one according to the lottery.

The patriarch personally presided over it, which really relieved the apprehension of those monks from the Zhou family who signed up. Soon, monks from the Zhou family came to the stage and tried their best to fight for this hard-won opportunity to build a foundation.

Then, during the battle, some Zhou family monks were depressed to find that several female compatriots who were not particularly outstanding in the past have become rich women today. The money offensive defeated them.

According to their inquiries afterwards, these family female cultivators who suddenly became rich women all made a promise to marry a disciple of the Qinglian Temple in the Foundation Establishment Period as a guarantee, and borrowed money from the patriarch to buy the talisman.

For this kind of thing, those Zhou family monks who were defeated, although they also complained in their hearts that the patriarch Zhou Chun was biased, they could only hate that they were not female cultivators and could not marry.

After all, it is much easier for a foundation-building female cultivator to marry a foundation-building male cultivator than a foundation-building male cultivator marrying a foundation-building female cultivator.

The result of the final martial arts competition ended with two female cultivators and one male cultivator winning the top three.

　The first update, there are three and a half hours left, let's see if we can repeat yesterday's miracle!
