Cultivating Immortals in the Family: Rising from Beast Familiarity

Chapter 507 Zhou Mingde Forms Alchemy 【Subscription】

The sitting of Zhou Jiapeng represents the end of another generation of the Zhou family.

In view of the achievements he made for the family during his lifetime, Zhou Chun, the patriarch of the Jindan stage, also personally read the eulogy for him, and ordered the whole family to pay respects to the old man in three days.

As for Zhou Jiapeng's descendants, Zhou Chun did not give special treatment to them.

As the patriarch, he generally needs to keep a bowl of water level. Otherwise, with the current size of Zhou family's foundation-building monks, how can he take care of it in the future.

Besides, Zhou Jiapeng, as a cultivator in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, participated in many wars successively, and the wealth he accumulated was not much worse than that of ordinary Zifu stage casual cultivators.

The wealth he left behind is enough for his descendants to build a foundation many times.

If this fails to cultivate a foundation-building cultivator, it is enough to show that his descendants are not worthy of cultivation, and there is no need for Zhou Chun to waste family resources on it.

The only thing Zhou Chun can do for Zhou Jiapeng is to let the family support his golden-winged iron-feathered eagle, so that he can live a retirement life in Zhou's family with peace of mind!
Of course, with the bird's lifespan, it's not time to really retire.

Its next task is to keep as many of its own excellent blood as possible, so as to give birth to more excellent monsters and pets for the Zhou family.

It just so happened that the Golden Feather Eagle that Zhou Chun asked the Golden Winged Tiger to train was a female eagle!
If these two kinds of bird monsters can be bred successfully, it might add a new mid-level monster population to the Zhou family!
Coincidentally.

Just half a year after Zhou Jiapeng passed away, the Golden Feather Eagle finally succumbed after being trained by the Golden Winged Tiger for many years, and was willing to sign another contract with the human monks.

Zhou Chun asked Zhou Zhengyong to adopt it as a spiritual pet and mount.

Speaking of which, Zhou Zhengyong was also a bit unlucky.

His spiritual pet red-tailed monkey from the beginning had long since exhausted his lifespan and died because he could not break through to the second level.

Later, he contracted a Scarlet Flame Vajra Monkey and a Red-eyed Dragon Vulture.

As a result, these two spiritual pets also fell in the war one after another!
This hit him hard, and he didn't want to contract a spiritual pet anymore!

But as a cultivator of the Zhou family's Zifu stage, if he can't even get a second-order monster to support his facade, wouldn't it be a joke!

That's why Zhou Chun directly gave him a contract with the Golden Feather Eagle, who had a second-tier high-grade monster cultivation base, to save face for him.

Time passed day by day.

On this day, many cultivators in Tuyun Ridge suddenly discovered that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered by their own exercises suddenly rushed to another place uncontrollably. No matter how hard they tried, they could hardly Bring it back together.

This kind of situation immediately made many people's complexions change slightly, and they hurried out of the training room to check the situation, trying to find out the reason for the overflow of spiritual energy.

Then a majestic and majestic voice rang in the ears of all the monks in the entire Tuyun Ridge.

"The Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde of our family is forming alchemy, all monks stop absorbing spiritual energy immediately and leave Huanglong Peak!"

It is the voice of the patriarch!

Many monks of the Zhou family recognized the identity of the owner of that voice, and then consciously and quickly left the vicinity of Huanglong Peak.

Some casual cultivators who came to Tuyun Ridge to practice soon arrived at the edge of the entrance of the mountain gate under the arrangement of the monks of the Zhou family.

If it was before, these people might be allowed to leave the family gate directly to avoid any accidents.

But now that Tuyun Ridge has two Jindan stage monks sitting in the township, you don't need to care about this point. Leaving them to watch the alchemy celestial phenomenon will give the Zhou family a good reputation.

I saw that the sky began to be covered with dark clouds, and a large amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy rushed towards Zhou Mingde's retreat.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the Zhou family is really amazing! The former patriarch Zhou Zhengchun came back from forming alchemy outside, and now there is an old Supreme Elder who has triggered the heavenly sign of alchemy formation. This is really a matter of luck, heaven and earth favor!"

"Isn't that the case? I heard that the monk who formed the alchemy of the Su family in Jiangzhou a few years ago was also the couple of the head of the Zhou family. If you count it, it means that the three of them formed the alchemy!"

"I used to say that the head of the Zhou family is a person with great luck. I just thought it was them who put money on their faces. Now it seems that this may not be the case!"

"If this elder of the Zhou family succeeds in forming alchemy, wouldn't the Zhou family have three golden alchemy cultivators? Is there any other family in Jingguo that has three golden alchemy stage monks?"

……

Even if it was inside the Zhou Family Mountain Gate, there were many Zhou Family monks nearby, but they couldn't stop those casual monks from talking and gossiping about Zhou Mingde's alchemy.

And at this moment, all the monks of the Zhou family focused their attention on Huanglong Peak. Even if some people heard some disrespectful remarks about the family, they didn't have time to pursue anything.

Everyone knows that being able to trigger the alchemy of heaven is only half of the success of alchemy.

Only by waiting for the alchemy signs to dissipate on their own, and the aura of heaven and earth to return to calm, can the alchemy be considered successful.

In fact, there is no retreat in this level, failure is the end of exploding body, there is no possibility of a third choice!

Therefore, even Zhou Chun was a little nervous at the moment.

[Holy Spirit Blood Pill] can restore the vitality and blood of the old to its peak. After all, this is only the record on the pill formula. Zhou Chun can't guarantee whether it is really so miraculous.

If the effect is not as good as what is recorded in the prescription above, then this level will be very dangerous for Zhou Mingde!

Fortunately, what Zhou Chun was worried about did not happen.

After a long period of time, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, and the abnormal agitation of the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth gradually subsided.

All of this shows that Zhou Mingde has successfully overcome the difficulties and formed the alchemy successfully!

But Zhou Chun knew that with Zhou Mingde's practice, even if he succeeded in forming alchemy, the time needed to stabilize his foundation would be much longer than that of Su Yuzhen. Don't expect him to go out and meet people in a short period of time.

Therefore, after the result was confirmed, he quickly spoke again: "Huanglong Peak is temporarily designated as a forbidden area for the family. It is not allowed to be summoned. It is strictly forbidden for the clansmen to enter it. All the rented caves in Tuyun Ridge are temporarily suspended!"

This order was naturally to allow Zhou Mingde to practice quietly and consolidate his cultivation.

And after giving this order, Zhou Chun went to visit Lin Hongyu soon.

The reason for this visit is very simple. Lin Hongyu was asked to leave Tuyun Ridge in the name of traveling abroad and go to the wilderness Caiyu Mountain to practice.

In such a small place as Tuyun Ridge, there is no room for three Golden Core stage monks.

Even two Jindan stage monks seemed crowded!
It's also because Zhou Chun didn't switch to the cultivation method, and basically didn't meditate much, otherwise he wouldn't let Zhou Mingde form alchemy here!

Lin Hongyu understood this very well, but she didn't intend to go to Caiyu Mountain to practice, but wanted to really go out for a while.

Speaking of which, since she successfully formed the alchemy, except for going out for a period of time to collect and refine the materials of the natal magic weapon, the rest of the time was spent in the wilderness with the Zhou family and fighting on the front line.

As a monk who has been cultivating alchemy for hundreds of years, she hasn't really traveled outside once.

Now that the situation is stable, Zhou Chun and Zhou Mingde have appeared successively, two Golden Core stage monks, and there is no need for her to sit at the mountain gate to protect the Zhou family all the time.

She naturally wants to go out and have a good time.

Not only her, but even Zhou Daoyi, who has broken through to the late stage of Zifu, also has this idea.

Zhou Chun is not an unreasonable person. After learning about this situation, Dang even agreed to the couple's travel.

It's just that I made an agreement with Lin Hongyu that it's best not to travel for more than ten years.

Because at that time, Qinglian Daoist's baby results should appear, and the situation in Yasukuni may change because of this. Lin Hongyu must come back and face it together.

Lin Hongyu and Zhou Daoyi naturally agreed to this.

So after making some arrangements, Lin Hongyu and his wife left Tuyunling on Qingjiao while Zhou Chun watched them off.

After sending Lin Hongyu and his wife away in this way, Zhou Chun went back to his cave to rest quietly.

In the following period of time, all kinds of congratulatory letters poured in towards the Zhou family like snowflakes.

Just like what a casual cultivator said that day, it is the first time in Yasukuni that there are three golden pills in one school!

Ordinary mid-level sects, such as the former Sanjue Sect, only have such a few Jindan stage monks.

And more importantly, when people checked carefully, they could find that the three Golden Core stage monks of the Zhou family had all succeeded in forming pills for more than 100 years.

Among them, Zhou Chun and Zhou Mingde's successful alchemy were less than twenty years apart!
This situation is really amazing!

You must know that even in a sect as big as the Moon Lun Sect, it is very rare in history that there are two Jindan stage monks appearing in succession within 20 years.

It is very good to be able to produce one in 50 years!
So this inevitably made many monks mutter in their hearts, thinking that the Zhou family had obtained some heaven-defying spiritual objects, which could greatly increase the success rate of alchemy.

Such rumors were spread intentionally. I don't know if they wanted to test something, or they just wanted to bring hatred to the Zhou family.

But these monks who spread rumors may be disappointed.

Because the senior officials of the big forces such as the Moon Lun Sect knew that Zhou Chun had obtained a lot of alchemy spirits in the previous wars.

Therefore, the Zhou family was able to have two golden core stage monks emerge one after another. Although they were very surprised and lamented the good luck of the two Zhou family members, they would not really think that the Zhou family had obtained some heaven-defying spirit that could help others succeed in forming alchemy thing.

Let's not talk about whether there are such heaven-defying spiritual objects in the world of cultivating immortals, even if there are, it is unlikely that they will be obtained by Zhou Chun before the alchemy.

Of course, this premise is that in the next period of time, the Zhou family will not have any success in forming alchemy.

Otherwise, even a strong person like Baiyue Daoist would doubt whether the Zhou family had obtained spiritual objects such as the [Five Elements Spiritual Fruit] tree.

In fact, after learning that Zhou Mingde had successfully formed an alchemy at an advanced age of more than 450 years, the real person Baiyue sent someone to inquire about the details.

And Zhou Chun also knew that this matter would arouse people's curiosity, so he generously dedicated the [Holy Spirit Blood Pill] pill recipe to Baiyue Daoist, in order to explain clearly that Zhou Mingde was able to form a golden pill at such an advanced age. Reason, by the way to show loyalty.

As for whether the Lunlun Sect can find the "Holy Spirit Blood Leech" again, and also refine the [Holy Spirit Blood Pill] to train Golden Core stage monks, then it is none of his business.

Anyway, the Zhou family and the Moon Lun Sect are not competitors, and the Moon Lun Sect has a few more Jindan stage monks, so it has little to do with the Zhou family.

Zhou Chun even hoped that the Moon Lun Sect could successfully refine this panacea.

In that case, those Golden Core cultivators who rely on the [Holy Spirit Blood Pill] to form their alchemy will definitely have a good impression of the Zhou family who offered the alchemy.

In short, with the current strength of the Zhou family, as long as they don't attract the suspicion and suspicion of the big sects such as the Moon Lun Sect, a little rumor will not affect them at all.

Therefore, Zhou Chun didn't bother to pay attention to those rumors, and only asked Zhou Xinyi to start planning for the second Golden Elixir Ceremony, which could be held after Zhou Mingde came out of customs.

It is actually a bit difficult for the invited families and monks to hold two Golden Elixir Ceremonies in a short period of time, because they will inevitably have to send another expensive gift.

But it is impossible not to hold the Golden Elixir Ceremony.

So Zhou Chun planned to discuss with Zhou Mingde after he left the customs, so that those families and monks who came to attend the Golden Elixir Ceremony would no longer need to send generous gifts, but only need to prepare a small gift to come to participate, and the scene and The atmosphere held up.

He believed that with Zhou Mingde's magnanimity, he should not object to his proposal.

For the other monks of the Zhou family, Zhou Mingde's success in alchemy was even more motivating and confidence-boosting.

After all, both Zhou Chun and Lin Hongyu successfully formed alchemy outside, and none of the monks of the Zhou family witnessed the experience at that time, so they lacked a sense of participation.

In addition, Zhou Chun's personal experience is really legendary, and there is no possibility of imitation and copying. Although many Zhou family members regard him as an idol and are full of admiration and admiration for him, they dare not think that they can become the second he.

But Zhou Mingde was different.

He successfully formed the alchemy inside the mountain gate of the Zhou family, and the heavenly sign of alchemy was witnessed by many Zhou family monks. Many Zhou family monks witnessed the process of his successful alchemy.

This sense of participation can be said to be very satisfactory, and the impression left on people is also very deep.

Another one, Zhou Mingde has never been a genius.

He only succeeded in opening the Purple Mansion when he was over 200 years old, and he did not practice any top-level skills. It can be said that he is a real template for ordinary monks, but his luck is better than that of ordinary monks.

But he was able to successfully form alchemy at an advanced age of more than 450 years old!
For the vast majority of Zhou family monks, this has a great motivating effect.

Because many of them are no worse than Zhou Mingde in terms of conditions, or even much better than Zhou Mingde!
In this case, since Zhou Mingde could successfully form alchemy, why couldn't they?
As soon as this idea came into being, it lingered in the minds of many Zhou family monks and planted a seed of ambition in their hearts.

Driven by this seed of ambition, many of them worked harder in their cultivation, and they also worked harder to find ways to earn cultivation resources for themselves.

An introverted atmosphere has unknowingly grown up inside the Zhou family.

When Zhou Chun learned of this situation, he felt very relieved in his heart.

As someone who has experienced it, he is well aware of how positive this introversion atmosphere is to the family.

In fact, what a large family fears the most is that the members of the clan will start to settle for pleasure and not think about making progress.

A family that does not think about making progress, no matter how brilliant it was in the past, will definitely be eliminated with the passage of time.

Therefore, in order to keep the self-motivation of these clansmen going, Zhou Chun specially set up the "Breakthrough Award".

Depending on the spiritual root aptitude and the cultivation method, if one can break through to a certain level before a certain age, one will be able to obtain a sum of good deeds rewarded by the family.

This idea came from the scholarship system in his previous life, and it was modified to be more suitable for his own world.

Their functions are somewhat similar, that is, to help some monks who are not born well but work hard enough to go further!

But at this moment, Zhou Xinyi reported bad news to him.

That means the Zhou family's finances are tight again!

"Nowadays, the markets in surrounding countries are shrinking, and consumption has dropped significantly. The business of our Zhou family's stores is generally not doing well, and the income is not as good as before."

"However, the number of monks on the family's side is still growing at a high speed, and the expenses for good deeds distributed to the clan members are increasing year by year, and the gap between income and expenditure is increasing day by day."

"Furthermore, the family snapped up strategic supplies and emptied most of the spiritual items in stock, and held the Golden Elixir Ceremony and also consumed a large amount of spiritual coins. Now the balance of spiritual coins in the account is less than 20!"

"If you can't find a way to increase the family's income, at most five years later, the family will have a loss in its account!"

In Zhou Chun's cave mansion, Zhou Xinyi came here with a series of account books, and reported the family's financial situation to Zhou Chun with a serious expression.

He is now taking the place of Zhou Chun's housekeeper, and usually doesn't come here to report on things that are not particularly important.

Because Zhou Chun would personally go to the Zhongping Hall to inquire about the family affairs every few days.

However, financial matters are very important. After the new round of statistics found that the financial situation was tight, Zhou Xinyi did not dare to delay, and immediately came to visit Zhou Chun in person with the account books and materials that had been sorted out.

At this time, after listening to his narration, Zhou Chun said very calmly and calmly: "Don't worry, let me look at the account book first."

After speaking, he raised his hand and opened all the account books, and his powerful spiritual sense read multiple account books at the same time.

The account books of the Zhou family will be recorded in detail, where every sum of money is spent will be clearly recorded, and every amount must be correct when checking the accounts.

Zhou Chun often randomly checks the account books to make sure that no one dares to embezzle the Mo family property directly from this aspect.

As for some profit-seeking behaviors that use personal power, Zhou Chun also knows that it is impossible to completely eliminate them. As long as they are not too excessive and conspicuous, and let him know, they can only be out of sight.

At this time, after reading all the account books, Zhou Chun closed his eyes and digested the numerous numerical data he had just seen in his mind. Relying on the strong mental calculation ability of the Golden Core Stage monk, he checked every account in a short time.

Of course, the result of reconciliation is exactly the same!

If there were mistakes in this aspect, Zhou Xinyi would not be qualified to manage the family in his place.

He opened his eyes, looked at Zhou Xinyi suddenly and said, "I took a look, and there are still more than 27 catties of raw ore of [Water Essence Jade] and more than 6 catties of raw ore of Red Blood Jade in the family account. More than 7 jin of raw jade, 12 jin of flawless white jade, 16 jin of black corundum, 5 jin of amethyst jade, and 57 jin of dark iron!"

"If these ores are sold at the market price before the war, how many spiritual coins are they worth?"

The ores mentioned by Zhou Chun are obtained from the Zhou family's mining in the wilderness over the years.

Because it was not affected by the war, the Zhou family's mine in the wilderness still did not stop mining even during the most intense battle between the Yuanmo Legion and the Tianling Legion.

It's just that due to the impact of the war, these mined ores can no longer be sold and can only be stored in the warehouse.

Although the Zhou family can process and consume some ore, compared to the huge amount of mining, these consumption is undoubtedly not worth mentioning.

So after decades of accumulation, there are so many stocks now.

At this time, after hearing Zhou Chun's words, Zhou Xinyi quickly estimated the value of the ores he mentioned in his mind.

After making such an estimate, I listened to him answer softly: "The younger generation has made an estimate. If calculated according to the market price before the war and considering the price fluctuations caused by the large trade, these ores are worth about 28 spirit coins!"

"Then count it as 28 spirit coins!"

Zhou Chun nodded, and then said: "I bought all the ores at this price, but the ores are still temporarily stored in the family treasure house."

"This……"

Zhou Xinyi looked at Zhou Chun with a look of surprise, he didn't expect him to say that.

"What? Do you think it's wrong?"

Zhou Chun glanced at him and asked lightly.

"No, the younger generation dare not, the patriarch, you have a high character, and the younger generation admires you from the bottom of my heart!"

Zhou Xinyi shook his head again and again, then looked at Zhou Chun with reverence to express his respect.

How could he not know that this was Zhou Chun's intentional blood transfusion for the family to help the family tide over the difficulties.

This behavior of subsidizing the family out of his own pocket fully demonstrates how deep Zhou Chun's affection for the family is.

If he didn't love his family deeply, he would definitely not be able to do such a thing!
But Zhou Chun waved his hand and said, "I can only subsidize the family's finances out of my own pocket, so I can only save the family's financial crisis. If I really want to solve the family's financial crisis, I have to solve it fundamentally."

"Let's go back and inform all the monks above the Foundation Establishment level in the family, let them go back to the family when they have time, and let's all work together to discuss how to make money."

"In addition, some of the family's rules may be a bit outdated, and should be followed up and revised in time to adapt to the current changes in the family!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Chun shook his head slightly and said: "Forget it, first tell those people the content of the discussion, so that they have time to think carefully, as for the time of discussion, let's wait until the Supreme Elder is out of customs before deciding! "

"Yes, this junior obeys."

Zhou Xinyi responded respectfully, and stepped back first.

Time passed, and three years had passed since Su Yuzhen successfully formed the alchemy.

After three years of subterranean cultivation, she has stabilized her cultivation level and left the level on her own initiative.

And with her leaving the customs, the Golden Elixir Ceremony held by the Su family for her will also be held soon.
