Cultivating Immortals in the Family: Rising from Beast Familiarity

Chapter 489 Entering the Secret Realm 【Subscription】

The return of Zhou Daoyi and others made the Zhou family more generous in terms of manpower.

Zhou Chun asked Zhou Zhengyong, who had just opened the Zifu, to sit in Jiufengling, and Lin Wan'er went to the wilderness to sit in the stronghold of Caiyu Mountain.

Zhou Daoyi, led by the Zhou family, formed a joint demon removal team with monks from Tianjing Villa and other forces, responsible for cleaning up the remaining demon cultivators in Lingzhou and Lanzhou.

Because the Zhou family is willing to subsidize the spirit coins to the members of this joint demon-killing team, and because killing demon cultivators can exchange rewards from the alliance, there are still some monks who are willing to join the joint demon-killing team.

At this time, the world of cultivating immortals in Yasukuni has largely resumed normal operation.

Except for the fact that a large number of monks were killed, wounded and fled due to the war, which seemed to be a bit depopulated, all production operations were not much different from before the war.

All Xiuxian families have started post-war restoration and reconstruction work, and commerce and trade are slowly recovering.

But because the population of immortal cultivators has lost too much, it may take dozens or hundreds of years to restore to the pre-war level.

One of the headaches for Zhou Chun recently is that many families come to propose marriage and marry off daughters.

Anyone with a little discernment can see the current momentum of the Zhou family.

Therefore, many families wanted to form an in-law relationship with the Zhou family first before Zhou Chun successfully formed the alchemy, so that they would have a ready-made way to ask the Zhou family for help in the future.

Zhou Chun did not object to this kind of in-laws.

But although the Zhou family is no longer stretched in manpower, it is not to the extent that they can freely marry daughters everywhere.

Whether it is him, or Zhou Mingde and others, they are more inclined to digest each other between male and female monks within the family.

For a big family like the Zhou family, the bloodline has been passed down for countless generations. There are hundreds of thousands of mortals, and there is a relatively complete genealogy for inquiries.

It is not uncommon or impossible for people of the same surname to intermarry and become Taoist couples.

Of course, because they are all members of the same surname clan, they have been called brothers and sisters in school since they were young, and sometimes it is even more difficult to have a relationship between a man and a woman.

This makes internal digestion a difficult matter as well.

After all, twisted melons are not sweet. If there is no emotion, Zhou Chun, as the patriarch, can't mess with mandarin ducks.

On the other hand, those families who want to form an marriage relationship with the Zhou family must have persuaded the female cultivators in the family in advance.

For them, as long as the Zhou family is willing to arrange for monks to take over, they can marry people over directly.

And for some ordinary members of the Zhou family, it seems to be a good choice if they can marry a female cultivator trained by the cultivating family as a Taoist partner.

As long as the female cultivator's appearance and figure are not bad, personality and so on can actually be ignored by them.

After all, the Zhou family is a powerful party, and those female cultivators from small families marrying in, no matter how bad their original personality is, they have to obediently be a good wife and mother.

Otherwise, if they can tolerate those shrews themselves, the Zhou family's family rules can't tolerate them either!
In short, because Zhou Chun had too many things, he had no choice but to hold a family recruitment conference every three years.

At that time, any woman from the Zhou family who has the idea of ​​marrying or recruiting a husband can sign up for the marriage recruitment conference.

As for the monks who want to marry a woman from the Zhou family and marry into the Zhou family, they can prepare gifts in advance and sign up for the marriage recruitment conference.

Then they can attract the attention of the nuns of the Zhou family by offering treasures and showing their talents, to see if they can make the beauty fall in love.

In fact, this is also a common method used by many Golden Core families.

Time passed slowly, and two years passed in a blink of an eye.

On this day, Zhou Chun suddenly received bad news from Zhou Zhengyong at Jiufengling.

After taking the Cyan Hammered Ape Demon Pill, the Qingmu Spirit Ape finally failed to break through the evolution by relying on the power of this demon pill.

However, its luck was good, it didn't get blown up by the huge demon core power because of the failed breakthrough, it just suffered some backlash internal injuries because of the failed breakthrough, and it may take a few years of recuperation to recover.

"Have you failed? It seems that it is not so easy for monsters to break through to the third level!"

Looking at the urgent news in his hand, Zhou Chun couldn't help shaking his head and sighing slightly.

In fact, it is much more difficult for a second-level monster to be promoted to a third-level than for a foundation-builder monk to open up the Purple Mansion.

Otherwise, Zhou Daoquan would not have had a third-order monster beast soul pet by his side, and Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi would not have focused on cultivating a soul pet instead of cultivating more soul pets like him.

He, Zhou Chun, was able to train several spirit pets to the third level, mainly because he followed the right route and obtained suitable spirit objects, and his own spirit pets had a good footing.

And like Qingmu Lingyuan, taking the third-order monster pill to break through forcibly is purely a risky gamble, there is no other way.

The failure rate is naturally much higher than the success rate!

But no matter what, Zhou Chun and the Zhou family don't owe any merits to Qingmu Lingyuan, the elder of the family.

After all, the value of a third-tier low-grade demon pill is only a little worse than a spirit item that assists in opening up the Purple Mansion.

Next, Zhou Chun went to visit the Cyanwood Spirit Ape in person, and let Mu Mei stay in Jiufengling to help it take care of his body, as a way of thanking it for taking care of him back then.

But when he stopped by to visit Luo Qingni who was cultivating here, he saw that the other party suddenly looked at him and asked, "Fellow Zhou, Fang Qingni of [Holy Spirit Blood Pill] has almost been researched, you want to start alchemy now ?”

"Oh, will it be ready so soon?"

Zhou Chun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Luo Qingni in surprise.

He still remembered the alchemy formula of [Dragon Spirit Pill], but the other party dared to open the furnace to refine it after studying it for a long time.

And even after studying for so long, the success rate of refining is not high at the beginning.

"The formula of [Holy Spirit Blood Pill] is actually not particularly complicated, it's just that the refining materials are very rare and rare, and Qing Ni's alchemy skills have also improved over the years."

As if she understood the meaning in Zhou Chun's eyes, Luo Qingni immediately explained the details.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun quickly said: "Fellow Daoist Luo misunderstood, Zhou didn't mean to distrust you, but [Holy Spirit Blood Pill] is extremely important to my Zhou family, and there is only one copy of the materials, Zhou still hopes that fellow Taoist can use it in the Zhou family. Do it when you have the greatest grasp!"

Hearing what he said, Luo Qingni didn't argue with him any more, just nodded lightly and said: "Alright, since Fellow Daoist Zhou is not in a hurry, then after Fellow Daoist Zhou fetches that thing, Qingni can start refining it. !"

"Yes, this is the best!"

Zhou Chun nodded again and again, agreeing with her words.

The so-called workers must first sharpen their tools if they want to be good at their work.

A good alchemy furnace is more precious to an alchemist than any magic weapon.

And the alchemy furnace of the magic weapon level can give alchemists great help in the process of alchemy, whether it is the success rate of alchemy or the quality of alchemy.

"One year at most, Zhou will be able to set off for the Great Zhou with Fellow Daoist Luo!"

Before leaving Jiufengling, Zhou Chun also gave Luo Qingni a definite travel date.

In the following year, Zhou Chun began to prepare for going to the Great Zhou Kingdom while practicing.

Although he expected that it might not take too long for him to form the alchemy, three to five years would be enough.

But don’t be afraid of [-], just be afraid of what happens.

In case he can't return to the family so soon, some things that should be arranged still need to be arranged in advance.

More than seven months later, during a meditation practice, Zhou Chun found that he could no longer refine a portion of heaven and earth aura into his mana.

The accumulation of mana in his dantian has reached his personal limit, no matter how difficult it is to advance!
At this time, except for condensing the golden core, he can no longer improve his mana cultivation level by practicing.

"Has your mana finally reached its limit?"

Zhou Chun looked at himself, and looked at the golden lake of mana in his dantian, feeling slightly agitated.

Doing the math, his lifespan has already passed two hundred, so he should be two hundred and four years old this year.

It has been 170 years since I came to this world!

Now it's finally come to this point.

Once a golden core is formed, one can live to a thousand years, master great supernatural powers, completely rank among the upper ranks of the world of immortality, and become a high-level monk in the true sense.

If he is a casual cultivator, after forming a golden core, as long as he pays attention not to provoke those big sects, he can basically enjoy himself for thousands of years.

As a family monk, once he forms a golden core, the Zhou family will immediately be promoted to a golden core family, and if he does not die in the future, the family's status will not decline.

Even for most sect monks in this world, the golden core stage is the final end of their life path!

Transforming alchemy into a baby, that is something that many Jindan stage monks of the sect did not dare to think about.

Because only when they reach their level, do they know how difficult this step is.

A simplest example.

No matter how poor the aptitude of a monk in the Qi refining period is, in theory, as long as he has not given up on his practice and has enough time to practice, he can basically cultivate to the twelfth floor of the Qi refining period, and has the qualification to attack the foundation building. Note that it is a qualification .

But among the monks at the Golden Core stage, five or six out of ten would not be able to cultivate to the late Golden Core stage!
There may be only one or none of the few remaining monks who can cultivate to the late stage of Golden Core, and who are finally qualified to go to the step of transforming into a core and forming a baby!

In fact, unless they are extremely talented or have great opportunities, it is impossible for most of the Jindan stage monks outside the sect to cultivate to the late Jindan stage.

In this case, the golden core stage realm is really the biggest goal in the hearts of more than [-]% of the monks in the world of cultivating immortals.

"Based on my preparation, forming alchemy is not a difficult task, but after forming alchemy, with the Zhou family's situation, it is doomed that they will not be able to help me any more, so if I want to stop at the golden alchemy stage, I must have some help." It's a big chance!"

"It just so happens that there is such an opportunity in front of me now, I must cherish this opportunity, work hard, and make a lot of money!"

Zhou Chun opened his eyes, his eyes gleaming, and he had already made up his mind.

A few days later, Zhou Chun quietly went to the wilderness, taking most of the adult and almost all mature "Frost Frost Bees" with him.

As a well-known strange insect on the "Heaven and Earth Strange Insect List", once the number of "Sky Frost Frost Bee" reaches a certain level, it will still pose a great threat to the golden core stage monks.

Zhou Chun has been raising this group of "Frost and Cold Bees" for nearly a hundred years, and the number of bees in the colony has now reached more than 300, which is nearly double the number when he subdued the colony.

Among them, the number of demon bees that have entered the mature stage has reached 38, more than one-tenth.

Generally speaking, during the peak period of the bee colony under natural circumstances, the number of demon bees in the mature stage will not exceed one-third of the population, unless it encounters an environment that is particularly suitable for the growth of the population.

Zhou Chun created a very good habitat for these monster bees. Not only is the cold environment up to standard, but there are also abundant food resources around.

In addition, he also feeds some spiritual things that are beneficial to the growth of the bee colony from time to time. In the future, it should not be a problem for the number of mature demon bees in the bee colony to exceed [-]%.

At this time, he took away most of the adult and almost all mature bees at once, which would have a huge impact on the growth of the bee colony.

Therefore, when he was leaving, Zhou Chun specially told the Zhou Family Foundation Establishment monks in Longxinggu stronghold to come over and put frozen monster meat into the cave every month in the future, so that the remaining adult monster bees could bring In the growth stage, the demon bee can come directly to carry the food, and there is no need to venture out to hunt.

After returning to Tuyun Ridge, Zhou Chun went to visit Lin Hongyu again, took back the magic weapon [Shoutu Vajra Shield] from his hand, and took it with him.

If he really succeeds in forming the alchemy in the secret island, Zhou Chun will definitely not have time to refine the magic weapon of his own life, then the blue-black banner magic weapon he obtained from the ancestor of the Su family before, as well as this magic weapon [Shoutu Vajra Cover], will become The most important reliance for him to win the treasure inside.

After everything was ready, Zhou Chunming announced on the surface that he would retreat and form alchemy on Tuyun Ridge, but secretly left Tuyun Ridge with [Hundred Illusory Beads] disguise.

And Luo Qingni on Jiufeng Ridge had already left there more than a month earlier, and is now waiting for him in the Shen Kingdom.

After Zhou Chun arrived in Shen State, the two joined together, and Luo Qingni led them to Da Zhou State at full speed.

In less than half a month, Zhou Chun and Luo Qingni returned to Tianyuan Immortal City after decades of absence.

After the two entered the city, they went straight to Luo Qingni's cave in the city.

Since Luo Qingni succeeded in forming the alchemy and decided to stay in Tianyuan Immortal City, her original cave "Qingniju" was officially given to her by the Tianyuan Immortal City to live for free.

This is also a special benefit of Tianyuan Immortal City for them, master craftsmen of the Jindan stage.

After all, the golden elixir stage monks live for thousands of years, if they are willing to stay in a certain city and accept the alchemy and equipment entrustment of other monks, it will bring high popularity to the city.

A large part of the reason why Tianyuan Immortal City became the No. [-] Immortal City in the Great Zhou Kingdom is that they have retained a large number of master craftsmen and alchemists here to refine alchemy.

After bringing Zhou Chun back to her cave, Luo Qingni quickly looked at him and said, "I will rest in Tianyuan Immortal City for a few days, and after Qingni finds someone to find out about the situation, I will personally escort Zhou Chun to Muli lake!"

"No problem, Mr. Zhou will follow Luo Daoyou's arrangement!"

Zhou Chun nodded briskly, and agreed directly.

In the next few days, Zhou Chun lived in the guest room inside Luo Qingni's cave, and did not go outside to stay in the inn.

And when Luo Qingni went to collect information, he stopped by several shops in the city and took out the fifteen Foundation Establishment Pills that Lin Wan'er had ordered.

At the same time, I also inquired about the market by the way.

Sure enough, as he expected, with the gradual emergence of inflation in the world of heaven, spirit and earth, the price of spiritual resources such as Jidan in the Great Zhou Kingdom has also increased slightly, and bundled sales measures have also begun to appear.

If you want to buy strategic spiritual resources such as Foundation Establishment Pills in batches, you have to also buy a batch of other types of pills or talismans.

This is also a price increase in disguise!
But another piece of good news is that the price of the magic weapon has not been affected too much.

Zhou Chun has accumulated a lot of Tier [-] Magical Artifacts and Tier [-] Magical Artifacts in his hands. There are so many of these Magical Artifacts that they are enough to arm ten Zifu period monks!
It is impossible for the Zhou family to use so many instruments in a short period of time.

So he intends to sell most of the instruments in exchange for resources.

It's just that with his current cultivation in the Zifu period, it's not safe to sell the third-order magic weapon like this, so he plans to sell it after he has formed the alchemy.

After staying in Tianyuan Fairy City for eight days like this, Luo Qingni finally finished investigating the information and confirmed that nothing special had happened on the Dolan Grassland recently, so she could take Zhou Chun to the secret island in Muli Lake.

But this time when going to Muli Lake, the monsters used to travel became Zhou Chun's two spiritual pets, and the Golden Winged Tiger and Lei Jiao took turns to drive them on the road.

Among them, Lei Jiao Baibai deliberately used 【Hundred Illusory Beads】to conceal his true identity.

Compared with the second-rank top-grade seraph last time, Zhou Chun's two spirit pets are undoubtedly much longer in terms of speed and endurance.

And even if they encounter "Multi-winged" mages and other grassland monsters on the road, these two spirit pets are enough to throw them away with their speed, or kill them on the spot.

In less than a month, Zhou Chun and the others came to the shore of Muli Lake again.

The water is Lei Jiao Baibai's home field. After entering the water, Zhou Chun and Luo Qingni rode on its back together, and went to the location of the secret island under Luo Qingni's guidance.

Not long after, the two arrived outside the secret island together.

"This is the place, Fellow Daoist Zhou, let your spiritual pet stop!"

In a deep water area at the bottom of the lake, after Lei Jiao Baibai, who was walking in front of him, circled back to the spot twice, Luo Qingni decisively asked Zhou Chun to stop Lei Jiao Baibai.

Then she looked at Zhou Chun, and said slowly: "Friend Zhou, are you really sure that you want to try the alchemy inside?"

"Yes, Zhou Chun is ready!"

Zhou Chun nodded, and responded with a firm tone.

"Since that's the case, then Qing Ni won't persuade you anymore!"

Luo Qingni sighed softly, then looked at Zhou Chun with a serious face and said, "It's just that Qingni wants to ask Fellow Daoist Zhou to agree to Qingni first, and before forming the alchemy, try your best to see if you can get the treasure Qingni needs. To prevent Fellow Daoist Zhou from triggering the forbidden method inside and being sent out if he succeeds in forming the alchemy!"

Hearing her words, Zhou Chun also replied with a solemn expression: "It's only natural. Zhou will definitely try his best to take risks in it before forming the alchemy!"

"Qing Ni still believes in Fellow Daoist Zhou's character, so Qing Ni doesn't ask Fellow Daoist to make any oaths to demons. Please keep these things, Fellow Daoist Zhou!"

Luo Qingni nodded slightly, and then handed a storage bag to Zhou Chun, which contained the fourth-rank low-grade puppet she had prepared, some talismans, and pills.

Finally, she raised her hand and patted the storage bag on her waist, and there was an extra jade talisman in her hand.

"This jade talisman does not need to be sacrificed, as long as you use your own mana to activate it, the [Great Reversal of the Universe] here will automatically generate a sense, and send you, Daoist Zhou, into the island. Qing Ni is also giving you the method to leave the island. It's recorded in the storage bag!"

Zhou Chun raised his hand to take the storage bag and the jade talisman, and after looking at the jade talisman in his hand for a while, he nodded to Luo Qingni and said, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Luo, if Zhou can successfully obtain the treasure before forming the alchemy, I will inform you of this matter first, otherwise fellow Taoists will wait patiently for Zhou to come out!"

Hearing this, Luo Qingni also nodded slightly and said: "Qingni understands, then I wish Fellow Daoist Zhou all the best!"

"Then Zhou will go first."

As Zhou Chun said, he put Lei Jiao in vain into the spirit beast bag, and then slowly injected mana with the jade talisman.

After a while, the white light released by the jade talisman enveloped Zhou Chun's whole body. He moved forward and quickly disappeared from Luo Qingni's sight.

When Zhou Chun's vision returned to normal, he had already appeared on the Qingshi Square that Luo Qingni had mentioned.

"What a rich spiritual energy!"

On the Qingshi Square, Zhou Chun looked around and was amazed at the rich aura of heaven and earth in this place.

Even in the mountain gates of the Moon Sect that he had been to, most of the auras in the world were not so strong.

But it's normal to think about it, after all, this is the cave of a Nascent Soul stage monk.

Then Zhou Chun was not in a hurry to explore this place, so he immediately put away the jade talisman in his hand, opened the storage bag Luo Qingni gave him, and checked the contents.

Inside the storage bag was a fourth-tier low-grade giant ape puppet, a replacement spirit crystal, and three fourth-tier talismans, including a fourth-tier middle-grade talisman.

In addition, there are as many as ten third-tier high-grade magic symbols.

In addition, there is a bottle of [Great Tonifying Yuan Pill] that can greatly restore mana. There are five pills in total, and taking one can restore Zhou Chun's mana by [-]% to [-]%.

At the same time, there is also a [Explosive Yuan Pill] that can temporarily increase Zhou Chun's mana. After taking it, his mana can be temporarily increased by [-]%.

But the price of taking this tango is weakness for at least a year!
Zhou Chun would definitely not take this pill!
The last piece is a jade slip, which contains not only all of Luo Qingni's experiences in exploring the secret island several times, but also a rough map of the secret island and the way to leave the secret island.

At this time, after checking everything, Zhou Chun began to study the information in the jade slip while identifying the fourth-rank low-grade puppet.

　Oops, I'm leaving my hometown tomorrow, I've done a lot of things for the family today, I don't have time to finish writing [-] words, I only wrote [-] words, I need to keep [-] words first!
