Cultivating Immortals in the Family: Rising from Beast Familiarity

Chapter 421 Escaped 【Subscription】

The wilderness, the ice cave.

Zhou Chun entered the ice cave again after a few years, and the queen bee "Sky Frost Bee" inside felt a little excited after sensing his breath.

And after he checked the situation of the bee colony, he also showed a look of surprise and joy.

It turned out that two adult bees in the bee colony had entered the mature stage, and those young bees have now left the juvenile stage and entered the growth stage, and they can follow the bee colony to go hunting.

"It seems that my choice is not wrong. This place is really helpful for the growth of 'Frost Frost Bee'."

Zhou Chun sized up the monster bees that had left their juvenile stages, and looked very satisfied.

As a strange insect on the "World's Strange Insect List", the "Sky Frost Frost Bee" itself grows very slowly. Even in an environment that is very suitable for their growth, it takes hundreds of years from the juvenile stage to the mature stage, or even longer.

It has been a few years since Zhou Chun got these monster bees, and now those young bees have just left the juvenile stage, which shows how slow the growth rate of this monster bee is.

But this is not an intolerable shortcoming.

Because compared to the strength and longevity of the "Sky Frost Frost Bee" in the mature stage, these are all worth it.

A mature "Sky Frost Bee" can live for about 300 years. If hundreds of mature "Sky Frost Bees" form a battle bee colony, ordinary Jindan stage monks should avoid their edge and dare not Hard to catch the torrent of cold air they spit.

Now as long as these monster bees are well maintained, even if Zhou Chun forms alchemy in the future, these monster bees will become an important means for him to fight against the enemy.

"By the way, since these demon bees came, it seems that those snow crystal worms have never appeared again. They won't be eaten by them, right?"

Zhou Chun glanced around, looking at the ice walls made of thousands of years of ice, his eyes showed thoughtfulness.

He had stocked ten snow crystal worms here, and it must have been successful.

But after the demon bees settled here, he never saw those snow crystal worms again.

Therefore, he has every reason to suspect that the group of demon bees ate those snow crystal worms.

"Eat it as you please, anyway, this snow crystal worm is of no use to me."

Shaking his head, Zhou Chun didn't pursue the matter any further. He put a few monster bees in the spirit beast bag into the hive, and put the other mature monster bees into the spirit beast bag, and left the ice cave.

For the next two months, Zhou Chun shuttled through rivers and lakes in the wilderness, looking for traces of third-tier dragon-born monsters.

After some searching, he really found two third-tier dragon-born monsters.

These two dragon-born monsters are a middle-rank third-rank monster unicorn alligator, and a third-rank top-rank monster silver-armored dragon fish. Their strength is much stronger than ordinary monsters of the same rank.

However, under the joint siege of Zhou Chun and Bai Bai, the two dragon-born monsters were all beheaded and killed by them.

In the process of hunting these two monsters, Zhou Chun also discovered one thing, that is, the cold air of the "Sky Frost Bee" and the white lightning spell are very useful in preventing the monsters from exploding their demon pills.

In the two battles, when the two dragon-born monsters found out that they were sure to die, they both wanted to use their magic power to explode their demon cores.

But both times were interrupted by lightning spell paralysis and cold air freezing, giving Zhou Chun a chance to kill them before they exploded their demon cores.

This discovery was undoubtedly a surprise to Zhou Chun.

After all, when cultivators hunt and kill third-tier or even fourth-tier monsters, what they are most afraid of is not how to defeat or even kill the monsters, but how to stop the demon core from exploding.

The self-detonation of the demon pill by the monster is not only a powerful move to burn jade and stone together, but also a means to make the immortal cultivator draw water from the bamboo basket in vain.

If it wasn't for Zhou Chun's ability to prevent monsters from exploding their demon pills, the chances of cultivators in the Zifu period hunting third-tier monsters to obtain demon pills would not be very high.

In many cases, the monsters were obviously killed, but because the monsters blew up their demon cores, the final harvest was reduced by more than half.

Therefore, among those monks in the Zifu period who formed a team to hunt third-order monsters, there will often be a monk who practices ice movement or thunder movement, or prepares such magic tools and charms, in order to be able to fight in the future. At the critical moment, it can slightly prevent the interruption of the demon beast's self-explosion of the demon core.

However, it is gratifying to hunt down two third-tier dragon-born monsters, but Zhou Chun's move also caused a lot of trouble.

After he hunted down the third-tier high-grade monster silver-armored dragon fish, he took Lei Jiao in vain to go to the opponent's lair to hunt for treasure, just like he did when he hunted the green-scaled dragon fish and the one-horned dragon fish before.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they found the door of the lair, Lei Jiao Baibai suddenly sensed the breath of a fourth-order monster approaching extremely fast.

At that time Zhou Chun was also frightened, and hurriedly asked Bai Bai to release his breath to lure the fourth-level monster away, while he quickly went ashore to escape.

This decision undoubtedly saved his life at the time.

The fourth-order monster that was killed was easily lured away by Lei Jiao for nothing, and he didn't notice him, the human monk who came ashore.

But this action caused Lei Jiao to be chased and killed by the fourth-order monster for thousands of miles in vain. After chasing and killing him all the way to Long Yuanze, the fourth-order monster stopped chasing and killing.

And Bai Bai also followed Zhou Chun's explanation, and returned to Lanzhou through the underground waterway after escaping danger.

When Zhou Chun returned to Lanzhou alone and learned about the whole incident from Bai Bai, he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

Previously, he was only blinded by the demon core of the third-order dragon-born monster, but he ignored an important thing.

Many of the third-tier monsters in the wilderness are the subordinates of a certain fourth-tier monster, especially after the Dragon Transformation Cult was hit hard, the fourth-tier monsters became the masters of the wilderness again.

Those dragon-born monsters are powerful in themselves, and they can easily be regarded as little brothers by the fourth-order monsters.

Zhou Chun's killing of these third-order monsters will of course anger those fourth-order monsters, and let them personally avenge their fallen little brother.

And after being hunted down this time, although Lei Jiao Baibai managed to escape with his life, he also exposed his identity in front of that fourth-order monster.

It is hard to guarantee that the fourth-order monster will not report this matter to the Jiaolong clan.

When the time comes, the dragon clan will investigate and find that there is no such dragon in the dragon clan of Long Yuanze, then things will be serious.

Of course, the probability of this should not be high, after all, if it is just a fourth-order monster, it is not enough to get into the eyes of the Jiaolong clan.

But even so, this incident undoubtedly sounded the alarm for Zhou Chun, making him dare not act recklessly in the wilderness with a third-level Thunder Jiao in his hand.

After all, the wilderness is still the territory of the monster race. He, a human monk, brought the monsters there to kill the third-level monsters. If he is really found out, the impact will be too great.

If it is not done well, it may become a diplomatic dispute and arouse the anger of Long Yuanze's Jiaolong clan.

After all, the third-tier monsters that have condensed the demon core can be regarded as protecting animals in a sense. Even those fourth-tier monsters will not easily hunt and kill other third-tier monsters just to satisfy their appetite.

It's really greedy, that is, like the black dragon in Longyuanze back then, he secretly selected from the second-level monsters with good aptitude to train him as a younger brother, and then found a reason to kill and eat them.

What's more, Baibai is a four-clawed Leijiao with superior bloodlines and qualifications. If the Jiaolong family knows, such a qualified Jiaolong will be enslaved by a human monk in the Zifu period to hunt and kill third-order monsters.

That would definitely anger those proud dragons, making them think of killing Zhou Chun and Bai Bai.

No matter what the situation is, for Zhou Chun, it is undoubtedly a disaster.

So after escaping back to Lanzhou this time, he didn't even dare to go to the wilderness for a short time, and when he asked Zhou Daoyi to go, he tried not to ride the green jiao, it was better to change to other vehicles that can escape by water. The monsters passed by.

"Three inner pills of dragon-born monsters are enough to refine three furnaces of 'Dragon Spirit Pill', so together with the ingredients for the pills such as 'Zengyuan Pill' and 'Huangjing Pill' that I prepared, I want to step into my cultivation base." Before the late stage of Zifu, the pills should be enough!"

In the cave on Tuyun Ridge, Zhou Chunpan silently considered the various spirit objects in his hands, and decided to stop.

I often walk by the river, so how can I not wet my shoes?

He was able to escape this time, but not the next time.

Even if he wanted to hunt third-tier monsters again, he would rather go to places like Dolan Grassland and Black Mist Lake. At least there, even if the existence of Lei Jiao was exposed in vain, he would not provoke giant monsters like the Jiaolong Clan.

After making a decision in this way, Zhou Chun took out a "Huang Jing Pill" and took it, and concentrated on practicing in the cave.

As a elixir for monks in the middle period of Zifu and late monks in Zifu, the efficacy of "Huangjing Pill" is much stronger than that of "Zengyuan Pill".

Now that Zhou Chun is taking this kind of panacea, he can't completely absorb all the medicinal effects of refining, and will waste [-] to [-]% of the medicinal power.

But even so, what he gained from refining a "Huang Jing Pill" was worth more than three years of his own practice.

In this way, after three years of subterranean cultivation in Tuyunling and refining three "Huang Jing Pills", Zhou Chun vaguely sensed the barrier in the middle stage of the Purple Mansion.

From the Zifu period, there is a realm barrier between each small realm.

Immortal cultivators generally adopt two methods if they want to break through this small barrier.

One is to loosen the realm barrier through years of polishing the mana cultivation base and impacting it again and again.

This is the method Zhou Mingde used to break through to the middle stage of the Zifu.

The second is to take some pills that help break through the realm barrier and force a breakthrough.

Just like how Lin Hongyu took the "Chiming Liuzhu Pill", a panacea specially used to help break through the realm barrier, in order to break through the late stage of the Zifu as soon as possible.

But this kind of panacea is very precious, and it is very difficult to find it here in Yasukuni.

If Zhou Chun wanted to use the power of pills to break through the realm barrier, he had to start from the Great Zhou Kingdom.

And he calculated the time, he and Luo Qingni have been six or seven years respectively, based on the accumulation of the other party and the magical effect of [Five Elements Spiritual Fruit], it is estimated that it will take less than ten years to successfully form the alchemy.

Therefore, he decided to go to the Great Zhou Kingdom again.

At this time, he walked out of the cave and came to the valley outside.

I saw a small sapling that was a purple mulberry sapling three years ago, but now it has grown to a height of more than one foot, with purple-blue mulberry leaves blooming.

At this time, the purple mulberry wood is still in the category of first-order spiritual wood in terms of spiritual strength, but the rich vitality it exudes is no worse than many second-order spiritual woods.

Zhou Chun estimates that if this continues, the tree will grow into a second-order spirit tree in less than ten years.

"It is indeed a subplant of the fifth-order spiritual wood, and its foundation is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary spiritual wood!"

Zhou Chun nodded, very satisfied with the growth of this purple mulberry tree.

Then he looked at the spiritual pets in the valley.

The Golden Armored Rock Turtle Stone has been promoted to the second-tier top-rank monster for some years, and now his cultivation base has stopped increasing, so he can only seek the opportunity to break through the third-tier.

After losing the resources shared by the two big brothers, the Golden Winged Tiger quickly caught up with its growth rate, and now it has also been promoted to a second-tier high-grade monster.

In addition to his own practice, Zhou Chun's important task in the future is to seek opportunities for the two of them to make evolutionary breakthroughs.

"The stone is easy to talk about. If God knows that Sanren's 'Mountain Soul Orb' can be exchanged, with its talent, it should not be a big problem to condense the demon pill."

"The Golden Winged Tiger is a little troublesome. Although the dual attributes of the golden wind make it far more powerful than the same kind, it also limits its breakthrough scope. It cannot rely on ordinary spiritual objects to assist the breakthrough. It is estimated that we have to start with the pill. Just do it!"

Zhou Chun's eyes flickered, he raised his hand to attract the golden-winged tiger, and stroked its head. He also had some ideas in his mind about the evolution direction of the two spiritual pets.

He has always been a nostalgic person, and these pets have followed him since he was a child, accompanying him to grow and fight, and their status in his heart may not be comparable to that of Su Yuzhen, a Taoist companion.

He has long regarded them as his own children.

So as long as there is an opportunity to help them evolve into high-level monsters, he will definitely spare no effort to do so.

After playing with a few spirit pets like this for a while, Zhou Chun sent a message to invite Zhou Mingde, who was also practicing in Tuyunling, to the cave, expressing his intention to travel to the Great Zhou Kingdom again.

He had mentioned this matter when he came back, and Zhou Mingde would naturally not object at this time.

After telling him to be careful about his own safety, he was released.

So Zhou Chun sorted out all kinds of things a little, and then quietly embarked on the road to the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Since this time was not urgent, Zhou Chun also made a detour to Yang Kingdom to visit Lin Wan'er who was practicing there.

"Patriarch, you came here at the right time. There is something I want to report to the family personally."

In the Hongyu Peak stronghold, Lin Wan'er was extremely pleasantly surprised when she saw Zhou Chun who had come here, she immediately dragged him into her cave, and talked about an important matter.

It turns out that after decades of development, Yang Kingdom has now recovered a lot of vitality, so the world of cultivating immortals here has gradually changed from the original barbaric and disorderly development.

Several sects of the Yang Kingdom who had suffered great losses in the "Thousand Jue Disaster" now intend to revive their sects.

However, these great sects suffered heavy losses in the insect disaster. Not only were the disciples below the fourth rank nearly killed or injured, but even the various cultivating families under their command were all wiped out. It can be said that the upper and lower faults are extremely serious.

At this time, they want to revive the sect, and then use the previous method of slowly recruiting and cultivating disciples, which is undoubtedly too inefficient, and it will not produce results within a few hundred years.

It may even be impossible to produce results at all.

After all, there are not many cultivating families to provide them with high-quality fairy seedlings as disciples, and the number of mortals recovered in Yangguo now does not produce many people with spiritual root qualifications.

The most important thing is that they, who had destroyed the mountain gate and resource points in the pest plague, could not afford the resources they used to train disciples now.

So these big sects put their ideas on the Xiuxian families and scattered cultivators who have moved here in Yangguo, and want to incorporate these families and casual cultivators, so as to build a basic structure of the sect.

This matter was originally a good thing for those cultivating families and casual cultivators above the foundation stage.

Because in this way, they not only have a big backer to cover them, and high-ranking monks to guide them in their practice, but they can also form their own factions in the sect and gain a lot of rights.

But for Hongyufeng stronghold, this matter is not easy to handle.

After all, the Hongyu Peak stronghold is now operating under the banner of Lin Hongyu, a Jindan period monk, and the Jin Guangzong of the Yangguo sect who incorporated the Hongyu Peak stronghold, on the condition that Lin Hongyu was granted the position of an elder of the Jinguangzong, he wanted to send Hongyu Both the monks at the peak stronghold and Lin Hongyu himself were recruited.

Although Jin Guangzong suffered a great loss in the insect disaster, there is still a Nascent Soul stage monk and a few Golden Core stage monks, and the top-level combat power is still there.

Now that the order they incorporated has reached the Hongyu Peak stronghold, there are only two roads left for the Hongyu Peak stronghold.

"I understand this matter. Elder Lin, you can pack up your things and return to the family tomorrow. I will personally escort you for a while. If Jin Guangzong wants this Red Jade Peak stronghold, then give it to them!"

After listening to Lin Wan'er's narration, Zhou Chun immediately expressed his decision almost without thinking about it.

It is impossible for him and the Zhou family to let Lin Hongyu join the Jin Guangzong, and I believe it is impossible for Lin Hongyu to join it.

So there is no good choice at all, just pat your ass and leave.

Anyway, the mission of the Red Jade Peak base was actually over after the [Earth Element Crystal Jade] vein was hollowed out.

Apart from Lin Wan'er, who has been here for decades, no one in the Zhou family would be reluctant to abandon this place.

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

Lin Wan'er opened her mouth, but finally lowered her head and agreed.

In fact, she already knew that Zhou Chun would make such a decision, but it was definitely not so easy for her to make up her mind if she had to give up on a place where she had been staying for decades.

If it hadn't been for Zhou Chun's arrival, maybe she would try to stall for a while to see if there was another turning point.

But now that Zhou Chun has made up her mind for her, she doesn't have much to say.

Early the next morning, Zhou Chun personally escorted Lin Hongyu out of the Hongyu Peak stronghold just as he said.

As for the other monks in the stronghold, no one is willing to go with Lin Hongyu.

After all, compared with the Zhou family, a cultivating family that doesn't even have a monk in the Golden Core stage, becoming a disciple of the Jin Guangzong of the great sect is obviously much more tempting.

After escorting Lin Wan'er for thousands of miles, Zhou Chun let her return to the family alone, and went to the Great Zhou Kingdom by himself.

Several months later, Zhou Chun arrived in Tianyuan Immortal City smoothly all the way.

And the first thing he did after returning to Tianyuan Immortal City was to inquire about Luo Qingni's news.

The result of the inquiry was not what he expected, Luo Qingni hadn't successfully formed the alchemy yet.

So Zhou Chun went to the place where the cave was rented in Xiancheng, and rented a cave not far from Luo Qingni's cave, and paid the rent for five years at a time.

In the following time, Zhou Chun concentrated on retreating and practicing in the rented cave, waiting for Luo Qingni to leave the customs.

After almost two years passed like this, the alchemy sky finally appeared in the sky where Luo Qingni's cave was located.
