Cultivating Immortals in the Family: Rising from Beast Familiarity

Chapter 504 Star Meteor Gold 【Subscription】

Lingzhou, somewhere in the wild mountains.

I saw that in the past, even monks in the Qi refining stage would not easily patronize this barren mountain and wild ridge, but today it has attracted many immortal cultivators to search for something here.

"Search carefully, the devil has been severely injured by the commander, he must still be hiding in this mountain!"

In the sky, Xu Fu stood tall in the air, commanding his men to search the mountains below with a dignified voice.

At this time, it has been more than ten years since he was transferred back to Lingzhou's demon brigade.

In the past ten years, he has made great contributions, and with the background of the Zhou family, he has finally become the deputy commander of the demon brigade.

A few days ago, the Lingzhou Demon Elimination Brigade found clues that a demon leader was hiding in a lone cultivator stronghold, secretly murdering loot practitioners to practice demon kung fu.

Afterwards, the leader of the Lingzhou Demon Suppression Brigade led Xu Fu and others to the casual cultivator stronghold, and started a big battle with the demon leader and his minions.

After such a chasing and fleeing battle, the devil used the secret technique to fight against the leader of the demon brigade, forcing his way out and fleeing to the mountains.

However, the leader of the Demon Suppression Brigade had no choice but to go back to a nearby stronghold to meditate to heal his injuries because of his serious injury and the demon energy entering his body, so he handed over the task of chasing and killing the demon leader to Xu Fulai.

For Xu Fu, this is both a challenge and an opportunity.

After so many years of hard work, his accumulated combat achievements have exceeded [-] points.

If he can lead the team to take down that monster this time, he will have a great chance to save enough to exchange for a spirit item that assists in opening up the Purple Mansion.

With his high-grade spiritual root aptitude, coupled with his strong will honed through many battles, as long as there is one spiritual object to assist him, the success rate of opening up the Purple Mansion will definitely be [-]% to [-]%!

So at this time, he was more active than anyone else in searching for the devil.

Perhaps it was really too badly wounded, and the hiding place of the devil was found not long after.

Two Qi-refining period monks who approached were caught by the devil on the spot and sucked up their blood!

"Here, the devil is here!"

A panic-filled voice sounded from a certain mountain, and Xu Fu in the sky rushed over with seven or eight Foundation Establishment Stage monks after hearing the shout.

Then these foundation-building monks, led by Xu Fu, formed a battle formation to fight against the devil.

Because the devil himself had been severely injured, and his strength was nowhere to be found. Facing the battle formation formed by Xu Fu and other foundation-builder monks, he had no choice but to take down these juniors for a while.

In the end, after a hard battle, Xu Fu and the others succeeded in beheading this purple mansion stage demon cultivator at the cost of the fall of two early stage foundation cultivators!

Xu Fu is famous for beheading a demon cultivator of the Zifu period with a monk of the foundation establishment stage, even if it is a severely wounded demon cultivator.

And because he was born in the Zhou family, his superiors did not dare to take too much credit for his credit, and basically reported his credit normally.

So in the end, after calculations, Xu Fu finally accumulated enough to exchange for a piece of military exploits to assist in the development of the purple mansion's spiritual object.

As for the spiritual coins needed to exchange for spiritual objects, he has already accumulated enough after fighting for so many years.

Therefore, as soon as the combat achievements reached the standard, he immediately applied for exchange.

According to the rules of the Tianling Alliance, monks in the Qi refining period exchanged for Foundation Establishment Pills and Foundation Establishment Spiritual Items, and monks in the Foundation Establishment period exchanged for assisting in the development of Zifu Spiritual Items, both had priority.

So even though the Zhou family still had two [Xuan Xin Zi Huan Pills] in the queue, Xu Fu had only waited for a few months before getting a piece to assist in the development of the Zi Mansion spiritual item.

And after he got the spiritual object, he immediately asked for leave and retreated in the resident.

As the honorary elder of the Zhou family, the news that Xu Fu was assisted in opening up the spiritual objects of the Zifu and retreating, soon reached Zhou Chun's ears.

At that time, Zhou Chun was still busy smelting [Earth Mother Xuanjin]. After hearing the news, he also narrowed his eyes slightly.

After he ordered someone to check Xu Fu's information in recent years, he couldn't help saying to himself: "This son's chance is not small. It seems that after he leaves the customs, he must be called back to the family immediately!"

It can be said that Xu Fu participated in the Zhou family's development of the wilderness all the way, and knew many Zhou family's secrets.

For such a person, it is absolutely impossible for Zhou Chun to let him separate from the Zhou family and stand on his own.

And as the Zhou family became more powerful, the interests of the wilderness became more important to the Zhou family.

Once the layout of the wilderness is exposed, the impact on the Zhou family will be much greater than before.

Therefore, these outsiders who know the secrets of the wilderness must strengthen their control!
Zhou Chun began to comprehend and practice the "Soul Control Dafa" since he succeeded in forming alchemy. Now, after several years of practice, he has already gained some results. If he is given another two or three years to practice, he should be able to successfully use this secret method. surgery.

Compared with the original method of tracking threats based solely on "Secrets of Transforming Dragons", "Soul Control Dafa" is undoubtedly much stronger in controlling people.

This method is similar to the "Dragon Soul Heart Seed" secret technique performed by the Hualong Sect to the disciples above the level of guardians. It can plant a "soul seed" in the soul of the recipient with the spiritual consciousness of the golden core monk.

If there is no golden core stage monk who planted the "soul seed" within a certain period of time to help stabilize the "soul seed", the "soul seed" will automatically explode, causing the soul of the subject to perish or severely injured.

Naturally, practitioners of the "Soul Control Dafa" can also actively cast spells to detonate the "soul seeds", and destroy those who dare to betray themselves thousands of miles away!

However, the disadvantage of "Soul Control Dafa" is that the cultivator must have a higher level of cultivation than the recipient, otherwise the "soul seed" will not be able to threaten the opponent at all, and it will be easily erased.

And if there is a monk with a much stronger spiritual sense than the caster to help, the "soul seed" can also be erased with the active cooperation of the subject.

From this aspect, the "Dragon Soul Heart Seed" is undoubtedly much more subtle and powerful than the "Soul Control Dafa".

It's a pity that although the Zhou family has the cultivation method of "Dragon Soul Planting Heart Art", that method can only be used after practicing the fourth level of "Secret of Dragon Transformation". Only after reaching the third floor can the "Dragon Soul Heart Seed" be successfully planted, and Zhou Chun did not practice this method with the blood of the Qingjiao!

After the technology reaches the standard, smelting [Earth Mother Xuanjin] is actually a laborious job like an assembly line.

Zhou Chun has to smelt the ore with his own golden core and real fire every day, stripping out the impurities little by little, and the last thing left is [Earth Mother Xuanjin].

According to his speed, it will take about two years to smelt all the collected [Earth Mother Black Gold] ore.

In this way, it is not difficult to understand why it took several years for Lin Hongyu to refine the talisman.

……

Jiufengling, Baozhi Peak.

However, after Zhou Xinyan successfully obtained the snake gall of the second-level fire-scaled python, he returned to his family and completed the task and rushed to Jiufengling directly, and then let his spiritual pet, the Chiyan dragon python, swallow two snake galls and a plant The 300-year-old Hualongcao started its evolution.

And the reason why he came to Jiufengling was also due to psychological reasons.

Many monks of the Zhou family now believe that Jiufengling is the family's blessed land, and that it is easier to succeed in retreating or allowing spiritual pets to break through and evolve than in other places.

Zhou Xinyan is also one of them, so he specially chose Baozhi Peak, where the patriarch Zhou Chun once lived, to let the spiritual pet break through and evolve.

Even the place he chose was not far from Zhou Chun's original small courtyard.

I don't know if there is really some kind of luck in the dark. This time, after only waiting for more than three months on Baozhi Peak, Zhou Xinyan's spiritual pet, the Chiyan Dragon Python, successfully evolved to the second level and became a Intermediate monster.

I saw that the Red Flame Dragon Python, which had evolved to the second level, not only grew red snake scales like dragon scales on its body, but also had a bulge similar to that of the Silver Lightning Thunder Python in vain, which was obviously born with dragon horns. .

At this time, it may be called a flame dragon python!

Zhou Xinyan was also very happy to have successfully cultivated the pet Chiyan dragon python into a flaming dragon python.

He has always regarded the patriarch Zhou Chun as an idol and a goal, and wants to become a strong man like the patriarch Zhou Chun.

So in the case of possessing the middle-level monster Lanyu Huoyuan, he still contracted to breed a Chiyan dragon python, dreaming that one day he could also cultivate it into a flood dragon.

Now that the Chiyan dragon python has evolved into a blazing dragon python, he has taken an important step on the road to becoming a flood dragon, so the joy in his heart is needless to say.

In order to celebrate this event, he specially hosted a banquet and invited many monks of the same race to his residence to celebrate, showing them the majestic appearance of the evolved flame dragon python.

Zhou Chun accidentally sent out his consciousness to scan everywhere in Tuyun Ridge, and happened to see the celebration scene in Zhou Xinyan's residence.

He secretly observed the state of Zhou Xinyan's mana breath, and then observed the newly evolved flame dragon python, and couldn't help but nodded slightly: "Well, Xinyan is not bad, if he can successfully open up the Purple Mansion, In the future, it can be considered as a golden elixir seed cultivation!"

With high-grade spiritual root aptitude and practicing top-level exercises, even among the great sects, this kind of monk is enough to be a candidate for the golden elixir seed.

Of course, there is no shortage of geniuses in the sect. If you want to truly become a golden elixir seed, you have to look at your personal background and personal performance to obtain the resources of the sect.

However, in a cultivating family like the Zhou family, there are not many geniuses of this level. Once they appear, as long as they are not the kind of people who are not of bad character and cannot be cultivated, they are generally easier to be cultivated by the family as golden elixir seeds.

This is also one of the important reasons why some talented members of the Xiuxian family are willing to stay in the family.

To put it bluntly, there is no shortage of geniuses in this world.

Take the Zhou family as an example. Among the monks of this family, there are now two monks with high-grade spiritual root qualifications, Zhou Xinyan and Zhou Yuanyuan, and there will definitely be more monks with high-grade spiritual root qualifications in the future.

In addition, there are two monks with other surnames, Zhang Liang and Xu Fu, who are also top-grade spiritual root qualifications.

This didn't count Lin Hongyu and Su Yuzhen, two top-rank spiritual root monks.

So if you think that if you have a high-grade spiritual root aptitude, you will be fully cultivated by the sect, then it is completely wishful thinking.

Zhou Chun doesn't care what other monks think, anyway, his own experience has shown that resources are more important than qualifications!

The resources are good enough, and a monk with middle-grade spiritual root qualification like him can succeed in forming alchemy once.

If the resources are not good, it is not uncommon for monks with top-grade spiritual root qualifications to fail to form alchemy.

Therefore, as the controller of resources, he would never easily invest resources on a certain clansman because of his excellent spiritual root aptitude.

Unless he is the legendary super spiritual root qualification!

Time passed slowly, and when Zhou Chun was concentrating on smelting [Earth Mother Profound Gold], according to his request, the Zhou family held several skill competitions.

Because of the rich prizes and the fact that everyone can sign up for the competition, many monks from the Zhou family signed up.

Although the several competitions consumed a lot of family resources, they did unearth a few talented clansmen.

Among them, the most talented clansman is a young man of the "Zhi" generation, named Zhou Zhixiong, who has a very high talent in making talismans. In three years, more than a dozen low-grade first-grade talismans have been produced, and the success rate has reached more than [-]%.

After Zhou Chun learned of this, he even asked the second-tier talisman master in the clan to take him specially, and gave him a slanted help in the pill resources.

Now, the best talisman maker of the Zhou family is Zhou Daoyi, who can make low-grade magic talismans of the third rank.

But according to himself, this is basically the upper limit of his talisman-making skills. Unless he can successfully form the alchemy, it is impossible to make more advanced talismans.

Zhou Zhixiong's talent for making talismans, as shown by his current age and cultivation, is obviously much stronger than that of Zhou Daoyi. If he can successfully open up the Purple Mansion in the future, he may have a chance to become a top-ranked talisman maker of the third rank.

If such a talisman maker can be cultivated, it will be enough to greatly enhance the family heritage.

In addition to Zhou Zhixiong, a talisman-making genius, there was another person in the skill competition whose performance caught Zhou Chun's attention.

That person was Zhang Liang, a monk with a foreign relative.

This monk with high-grade spiritual root aptitude who first became acquainted with Zhou Chun and then joined the Zhou family, turned out to have a very good talent for formations.

During the years of living together with the formation mage Zhou Xindie, he has also discovered his talent in this area, and under the Zhou family's relatively complete inheritance of formation techniques, he has already surpassed him in formation skills. Abandoned his Taoist companion Zhou Xindie.

This time in the Zhou family's skill competition, he is the chief examiner on the top of the formation.

With his current attainments in formation, he is almost comparable to Zhou Chongshan, the second elder of the Zhou family back then.

Now it is said that he is comprehending the [Five-Direction Mira Formation] formation diagram sent by the You family at the Zhou Chun Golden Elixir Ceremony.

If he can really comprehend the square formation diagram thoroughly and arrange the [Five-square Mira Formation], then his formation skills can be regarded as completely catching up with Zhou Chongshan.

"If this person can really arrange the [Five-Fang Miluo Formation], you might as well support him to open up the Purple Mansion, then he might be able to become my Zhou family's first formation master!"

"And this can also play a role in buying a horse bone with a thousand dollars!"

Zhou Chun secretly made a note in his small notebook. The names written in this notebook are all talents that he thinks can be observed and cultivated in the family.

After spending nearly two years in this way, Zhou Chun finally smelted all the [Earth Mother Xuanjin].

As soon as this important event was finished, Zhou Chun went to Su's house in Jiangzhou first.

His Taoist companion Su Yuzhen has also begun to retreat and refine the "Xuan Dan", and the progress is also very good. It is estimated that he will be able to succeed within a year or two.

After Zhou Chun learned about the situation, he left directly without disturbing the Taoist couple.

Then he rushed straight to the Great Zhou Kingdom.

A few years later, Luo Qingni should have recovered from the research on the improved alchemy, Zhou Chun wanted to find her to mobilize contacts to collect the elixir to refine a pot of [Guchen Dan].

In addition, in the past few years, he has let his family collect several furnaces of auxiliary materials for building foundation pills, and it is time to ask Luo Qingni to refine them together.

And that day Baoge's [Taiyi Xuanjin Qi], he had to collect it first, to prevent the treasurer Sun from misappropriating the goods he ordered to other people first.

At the same time, we have to see if we can meet the puppet master that Luo Qingni mentioned last time.

By the way, let's inquire about Yu Jinghua's news again, and see what this old thing is doing recently!
After entering the Golden Core stage, it is very convenient to travel between the Great Zhou Kingdom and the Yasukuni Kingdom. Zhou Chun had to think twice before making a trip like before.

But what Zhou Chun didn't expect was that when he entered Tianyuan Immortal City and came to look for Luo Qingni, he was in vain.

I still learned from the shop where Luo Qingni placed the order that she was commissioned and invited by a school in a country other than Dazhou, and she used to make alchemy for that school for three years, and now she has been there for two years.

"This is really weird. With Luo Qingni's character, it's fine to invite her to make alchemy, but it's almost impossible for her to come to serve as a full-time alchemist! Could it be..."

Zhou Chun suddenly thought of something, couldn't help but shook his head, and didn't think any more.

If, as he had imagined, Daoist Yuan Yingqi invited him personally, then Luo Qingni would not be able to refuse.

After all, the world of cultivating immortals is based on strength. A Nascent Soul stage monk invites a Golden Core stage monk to help with something. As long as it is not too harsh, it is difficult for a Golden Core stage monk to refuse, and dare not refuse!

Since Luo Qingni can't come back for the time being, the matter of asking her to make alchemy can only be postponed.

Zhou Chun immediately diverted to Tianbao Pavilion to collect the reserved [Taiyi Xuanjin Qi].

Sun Yuanjing of Tianbao Pavilion is indeed doing things according to the contract. Zhou Chun can easily get the [Taiyi Xuanjin Qi] collected from him in the past few years. The gold energy required is not difficult to do.

After delivering the golden energy, Sun Yuanjing suddenly looked at Zhou Chun and said, "By the way, have you collected all the magical treasures and spiritual materials mentioned by Zhang Daoyou last time? Sun has also known one of them in recent years." Who owns the material, and who intends to use it to replace other treasures, if fellow Daoist Zhang is willing, Mr. Sun is willing to come forward to bridge the gap between the two fellow daoists and facilitate a deal!"

"Oh, I don't know what kind of spiritual material Daoyou Sun is talking about?"

Zhou Chun's eyes lit up, and he became interested immediately.

"It's a piece of [Star Meteor Gold], weighing more than 700 catties, it should be enough for what you need, Fellow Daoist Zhang!"

Sun Yuanjing smiled slightly and said the answer.

"It turned out to be [Meteorite Gold]!"

Zhou Chun's eyes were fixed, and surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes.

The magic weapon list he gave to Sun Yuanjing before was the materials needed for the complete version of [Wanhua Jinding].

But in fact, when refining [Wanhua Jinding], only a few materials are needed at the beginning.

The same is true for the natal magic weapons of many Jindan monks. At the beginning, they only need to collect the core refining materials to refine them.

For example, the core refining materials of [Wanhua Jinding] are [Earth Mother Xuanjin], [Millennium Xuantie], and [Tianxuan Jinsha]. It's turned into a golden tripod.

Later, if you get [Gold Essence], [Golden Gold], [Venus Stone] and other materials, you can still add and smelt them into the magic weapon to increase the power and growth speed of the magic weapon.

However, if the smelted materials are added to the magic weapon in the middle of the process, it is necessary to warm and nourish the magic weapon with secret methods for a certain period of time, which will waste some training time.

If Zhou Chun can get together the materials for the complete version to refine [Wanhua Jinding], then after the successful refining of this treasure, not only will it be much more powerful than the basic version, but it will also save a lot of effort later.

Therefore, if possible, he still wants to collect as many materials as possible to refine [Wanhua Jinding], so as to save the effort of slowly smelting and warming it later.

And now the [Star Meteor Gold] that Sun Yuanjing mentioned is exactly one of the materials required by the [Wanhua Jinding] that is relatively difficult to collect.

Now that there is news of this thing, how can Zhou Chun be unhappy.

Dang Shi clasped his fists to Sun Yuanjing and said, "Shopkeeper Sun has a heart, so I will leave this matter to Shopkeeper Sun!"

"Good talk, good talk."

Sun Yuanjing smiled slightly, and agreed wholeheartedly.

He is willing to do this kind of thing, of course not because he is willing to help others, but because doing this kind of favor can expand his circle of contacts and be kind to others.

Today he helped Zhou Chun matchmaking, regardless of whether the final deal was successful or not, Zhou Chun and the cultivator who owned [Star Meteor Gold] would accept his favor. Definitely think of him first.

This way the business will come!
The Golden Core stage monks have a wide range of activities. Their Tianbao Pavilion may be very competitive in Tianyuan Immortal City and the Great Zhou Kingdom, but it may not be the case in other places.

If he can use these favors to develop the Jindanqi monks from other places into regular customers, it will also be very helpful for him, Sun Yuanjing, to improve his status in Tianbao Pavilion.

In this way, under Sun Yuanjing's matchmaking, Zhou Chun quickly met the monk who possessed [Star Meteor Gold].

There is no doubt that the other party is also a monk at the golden core stage, and a mid-stage golden core monk at that.

And this person doesn't need magical treasures and spiritual materials, he just wants to exchange [Star Meteor Gold] for two relatively rare thousand-year-old medicines.

"He Daoyou needs a thousand-year-old medicine. Zhang has only one plant of Golden Ring Polygonatum that meets Daoyou's requirements. The age of this elixir exceeds 600 years, so it is very precious!"

"If Fellow Daoist is willing to change, Zhang can also add a 2000-year-old living grass!"

In Tianbao Pavilion, Zhou Chun gave his most sincere offer after inspecting the [Star Meteor Gold] brought out by the other party.

It is impossible for him to exchange two thousand-year-old treasure medicines for a piece of [Star Meteor Gold], because although this [Star Meteor Gold] is hard to find, it is not the rare and necessary magic weapon spiritual material like [Earth Mother Profound Gold].

Even if he can't get it now, he still has a long time to collect it slowly in the future.

And the thousand-year-old medicine he himself will use in the future.

There is no doubt that Zhou Chun's offer is also just above the opponent's bottom line.

The other party guessed that he needed [Star Meteor Gold] to refine the magic weapon of life, and he also knew that the other party wanted the thousand-year-old medicine to refine the panacea to hit the later stage of the golden core.

Neither party can take the initiative by relying on the other's neediness.

So after a few rounds of tugging, Zhou Chun added two ordinary thousand-year-old elixir as bargaining chips, and got the piece of [Star Meteor Gold].

This piece of [Star Meteor Gold] weighs more than 700 catties, but it is actually only the size of a goose egg. It looks dark and not very eye-catching.

After the deal was concluded, Zhou Chun thanked Sun Yuanjing again, and then went to Tianzhi Building to inquire about Yu Jinghua's news.
