Cultivating Immortals in the Family: Rising from Beast Familiarity

Chapter 83 New Foundation Establishment Cultivator, New Duties 【Subscription】

"I really didn't expect it. I didn't expect that [Jade Spirit Bee] would return to Zhou's house one day!"

On Baozhi Peak, dozens of monks from the Zhou family, including Zhou Chun, are gathered outside a newly built beehive, looking at the giant bees that are flying up and down, getting familiar with their new home, and they are very excited. People's faces are full of emotion.

I saw that those giant bees were about the size of sparrows, covered with green patterns, and even their wings were carved like jasper, and they exuded faint mana fluctuations.

This is [Jasper Spirit Bee], an extremely rare monster bee.

As a monster bee, [Jasper Spirit Bee] has not weak combat power after gathering into a bee colony, but its greatest use for immortal cultivators is to produce spiritual honey.

The spiritual honey brewed by [Jasper Spirit Bee] is not only extremely sweet and delicious, but also an excellent nourishing spiritual thing.

This kind of spiritual honey has a wide range of uses. It can be mixed with water to drink directly, it can also be made into honey tea, or it can be used as an addition to elixir.

The spiritual power and nutrients contained in spiritual honey are very easy to be absorbed and refined by immortal practitioners.

Knowing the uses of spiritual honey, it has various functions such as improving cultivation, recuperating internal injuries, nourishing qi and blood, prolonging life and so on.

Zhou family monks like Zhou Chun and the others, when they first came into contact with cultivation at a young age, would more or less cause "split Qi" and damage the meridians due to improper cultivation.

In this situation, ordinary monks can only rest for ten days and a half months before continuing to practice.

However, as long as the monks of the Zhou family drink a spoonful of spiritual honey, they can recover and continue to practice within three days.

It is precisely because the [jasper spirit bees] are so rare and precious, Zhou Xia, the ancestor of the Zhou family who discovered and brought back these spirit bees, although his cultivation base has stayed in the foundation building stage all his life, he is still on the merit wall in the Zhou family ancestral hall. Names and meritorious deeds are left.

And the ancestor of the Zhou family named Zhou Xia actually only brought back less than a hundred [Jade Spirit Bees].

Afterwards, the entire Zhou family devoted all their efforts to cultivating and passing down the bee colony from generation to generation, so that the bee colony grew stronger. So far, its population has more than doubled by more than ten times!
It's a pity that when the Sanjue Sect was split up, these [jasper spirit bees] were all forced to stay in the Spirit Beast Villa by Yu Jinghua, and none of them were taken away by the Zhou family.

At that time, many monks of the Zhou family even thought that it would be impossible to see this kind of spirit bee reappear in the Zhou family in this life.

Unexpectedly, only a few years have passed, and the senior members of the family have successfully brought this spirit bee back to the Zhou family.

This incident also made those Zhou family members who did not know the inside story greatly respect and worship the patriarch Zhou Daoyi and the Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde who did this.

Invisibly, it also dilutes the impact of Zhou Zhengkang's disappearance.

After Zhou Zhengkang's incident ended, Zhou Chun was not able to return to Fangshi.

Zhou Daoyi arranged a new position for him, the patriarch's accompanying book office, responsible for assisting the patriarch in handling the affairs of the clan.

In addition, the task of collecting the poisonous stickleback slime that Zhou Jiahui was supposed to complete was also handed over to him.

It was also because of this patriarch's post in the book office that Zhou Chun completely stepped into the sight of all the monks of the Zhou family and became a man of the week in the Zhou family.

Everyone knows that before Zhou Chun, the patriarch Zhou Daoyi didn't have any book office, and all the affairs of the clan were decided by the patriarch alone.

Now the patriarch Zhou Daoyi has specially set up a book office for Zhou Chun to assist him in handling the affairs of the clan.

No matter how stupid people are, they can see what kind of idea this is.

At this time, Zhou Chun's various contributions to the Zhou family in the past few years were also announced.

When they learned that Zhou Chun was now ranked second in the family's qi refining period monks in terms of the amount of his own good deeds, those Zhou family monks who had objections to him being favored and taken care of by the patriarch Zhou Daoyi were all silent.

Although the number of good deeds cannot fully represent a person's ability, it can represent the contribution a person has made to the family.

As far as the family is concerned, a monk who has made great contributions to the family should be treated with superior rights.

What's more, Zhou Chun is now just a book office next to the patriarch, not the patriarch.

Therefore, under such circumstances, after the news that Zhou Zhengkang, the original family's foundation seed, was missing, the influence was once again suppressed a lot.

In just a few months, few people will mention this matter anymore.

On this day, Zhou Chun was sorting out the account books in the "Zhongping Hall", when suddenly he heard loud laughter full of excitement from the mountain.

This made him startled slightly, and immediately stopped writing, got up and walked outside the hall.

Outside the hall, Zhou Chun raised his eyes and could easily see a gray-clothed man hovering in the air and laughing.

Levitating in the air, this is a method of using mana that a cultivator in the Qi refining period will naturally master after successfully establishing a foundation, and it can also be called innate supernatural powers.

Air control flight, true essence shield, foundation building real fire...

These large and small ways of using mana are the supernatural powers that can only be mastered by immortal cultivators after their mana has transformed after they have reached the foundation building stage.

But generally speaking, no foundation-building stage cultivator would get excited and lose his temper because he had mastered this ability.

There is only one exception!
That is the same as what Zhou Chun saw now, a monk in the qi refining period just used these abilities for the first time after successfully establishing his foundation.

That's right, after seeing the man in gray in the sky, Zhou Chun immediately recognized his identity.

That is Zhou Jiarui, a core member of the Zhou family who has been retreating in the secret room above the Pagoda Peak for more than three months to build a foundation.

Since the Li family sent the two foundation-building pills that should be distributed to the Zhou family more than three months ago, Zhou Jiarui and Zhou Jiacheng, who had already been determined to take these two foundation-building pills, directly He took the elixir and entered the closed room on the Pagoda Peak to attack the foundation building level.

Now it seems that at least Zhou Jiarui has successfully built a foundation.

At this moment, Zhou Chun was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly cupped his hands and saluted, and congratulated loudly: "Little nephew, congratulations to Uncle Eleven for successfully building the foundation and prolonging his life."

The phrase "prolong life and prolong life" is used when a cultivator breaks through the realm, and it will never go wrong.

Because the original meaning of cultivating immortals is to pursue longevity.

Every major breakthrough in the realm of cultivating immortals will greatly prolong the lifespan of the cultivating immortals.

So after hearing Zhou Chun's congratulations, Zhou Jiarui in the sky laughed even more freely.

He ranks eleventh in the generation of "jia", and he is already seventy-six this year, and he is over seventy years old.

If the foundation cannot be established successfully, he will only have more than 40 years to live, and he may not even be able to live until then.

But now that the foundation has been successfully established, his lifespan has been extended to more than 200 years. His age is still young among the monks in the foundation stage, and the future has unlimited possibilities.

"Hahaha, nephew Zhengchun is being polite."

With a loud laugh, he immediately soared into the air and flew down in front of Zhou Chun.

At this time, because of his laughter, the Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde and the patriarch Zhou Daoyi, who were originally practicing in the cave, were also drawn out.

"Not bad, Jia Rui, if you succeed in building a foundation, it will be worthy of the family's cultivation of you!"

Zhou Daoyi looked at Zhou Jiarui, who had successfully established the foundation, and praised him first.

Facing his praise, Zhou Jiarui immediately bowed his hands to him with gratitude and said: "The younger generation can have today, it is all cultivated by the family, and it is all the love and value of the elders and patriarchs. Well, the younger generation will never forget it!"

Hearing his words, Zhou Mingde couldn't help but nodded and applauded: "Very good, I hope you can always remember today's words in the future, and don't let down the trust of the family and us in your cultivation!"

"Yes, the junior must or dare not forget!"

Zhou Jiarui's face turned serious, and he made a promise loudly.

Next, according to the usual practice, the Zhou family held a foundation building ceremony for Zhou Jiarui, and most of the Zhou family monks attended the ceremony to congratulate him and present him with various gifts.

Some casual cultivators who have a good relationship with the Zhou family also participated in the celebration.

And amidst the bustle and bustle, another monk, Zhou Jiacheng, who had failed in foundation establishment, also quietly left the gate.

A Foundation Establishment Pill can almost increase the success rate of foundation establishment for monks in the Qi Refining Stage by [-]%, so it is not that taking the Foundation Establishment Pill will definitely succeed in Foundation Establishment.

Zhou Jiacheng is the kind of unlucky person with bad luck.

Although he took the Foundation Establishment Pill, he did not succeed in foundation establishment, and only relied on the medicinal effect of the Foundation Establishment Pill to keep his life and cultivation.

Before that, he had never dared to come out and face his clansmen.

It wasn't until Zhou Jiarui successfully established the foundation and held a celebration banquet for the guests that the last bit of luck left in his heart was gone.

He could only leave quietly with helplessness and shame.

But even if he leaves the customs quietly, he still has to give the family an explanation.

Therefore, he didn't return to the cave after leaving the customs, and directly knelt down facing the wall outside the family's ancestral hall.

After the patriarch Zhou Daoyi returned from Zhou Jiarui's foundation-building ceremony, he easily spotted Zhou Jiacheng kneeling outside the ancestral hall.

In fact, it was no secret to Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi that Zhou Jiacheng failed in foundation building.

It's just that the two knew that Zhou Jiacheng was hit hard by this incident, and wanted him to come out after he figured it out, so they kept pretending not to know.

Seeing that Zhou Jiacheng finally came out by himself at this moment, Zhou Daoyi was actually quite relieved in his heart.

He slowly walked behind Zhou Jiacheng, who was kneeling on the ground, and sighed softly: "Hey! It's normal to be unsuccessful. The foundation establishment is not guaranteed to be successful. It's not bad if you can save your life and cultivation base." !"

"But this junior finds it hard to forgive himself!"

"The Supreme Elder and the patriarch trust the younger generation so much, and give the younger generation the Foundation Establishment Pill that countless clansmen yearn for, and use it for foundation building. What kind of trust is this!"

"I hate that the younger generation is incompetent, has failed the trust of the Supreme Elder and the patriarch, and failed the cultivation of the family!"

"The younger generation has committed a lot of crimes, and it is really embarrassing to see the two elders again, and goodbye to all the clansmen!"

At the end of Zhou Jiacheng's speech, he was sobbing.

He is also over sixty years old, and it is said that he has been used to strong winds and waves in his life, so he will not shed tears easily because of certain things.

But the matter of foundation establishment is the biggest thing in the life of an immortal cultivator in the Qi refining period.

Relying on the shadow of his ancestors and his own hard work, Zhou Jiacheng was able to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill bestowed by his family for foundation establishment.

Originally, the normal situation should be that he succeeded in building a foundation, lived up to his family's cultivation of him, and lived up to the high expectations of his elders.

In the end he failed!
This failure not only failed the high expectations of the family and elders, but also shamed my late grandfather.

This kind of blow, even for a man over sixty like him, is hard to bear.

"You can think this way, which means that neither this seat nor the Supreme Elder have misunderstood you!"

"The family has strict standards when deciding who to take the Foundation Establishment Pill. If you can be selected, it means that you are better than others at that time."

"And no one has ever persuaded that those who take the Foundation Establishment Pill will surely succeed, not to mention that whoever fails to establish the Foundation after taking the Foundation Establishment Pill is a sinner of the family!"

"If you succeed, then you are naturally gratified. Even if you fail, it is just bad luck."

"The Supreme Elder and this seat will never blame you for this, and other clansmen will gradually understand you!"

Zhou Daoyi comforted Zhou Jiacheng in a gentle tone, and tried his best to enlighten this self-pitying family junior.

Now that the loss is irreparable, a motivated [-]th-level monk in the qi refining period is naturally more useful to the family than a self-pitying [-]th-level monk in the qi refining period.

As the patriarch, Zhou Daoyi must comfort and enlighten Zhou Jiacheng even if he considers this aspect.

In this way, under his comfort and enlightenment, the results of the Zhou family gradually improved a lot, and they stood up, daring to face him face to face.

He turned around and looked at him, then raised his sleeves to wipe away the tears from his eyes, then bowed to him and said, "Thank you for the enlightenment, the patriarch, this junior knows what to do, and I will do my best for the rest of my life. Work hard to repay the family's kindness to the younger generation!"

Seeing this, Zhou Daoyi immediately smiled with satisfaction and said, "That's right, you are still young, as long as you work hard for the family, you may not have the opportunity to attack Foundation Establishment again in the future!"

These suggestive words quickly sparked hope in Zhou Jiacheng's eyes.

He immediately stated firmly: "Thank you for the patriarch's teaching, this junior will definitely not let the patriarch down again!"

In this way, after watching Zhou Jiacheng leave the Pagoda Peak and go down the mountain, Zhou Daoyi shook his head slightly, turned around and returned to the cave.

Now that Zhou Chun is assisting in handling family affairs, he also has a lot of free time, and his training time has increased significantly.

In this way, Zhou Chun got exercise, and he also got more time to practice, which can be said to be a win-win situation.

Well, at least it's a win-win for him!
As for Zhou Chun, he certainly won't suffer.

As the secretary of the patriarch Zhou Daoyi, not only can he be exempted from all other family chores, but he can also practice on the aura-rich Pagoda Peak.

Not only will it not delay your own cultivation, but you can also get in touch with many secrets of the Zhou family and get a lot of first-hand information.

For example, when did Baiyao Peak refine another batch of [Beast Spirit Pills], how many of them were put in the family treasury for exchange by the clansmen.

Few people will know before him.

In this way, if he needs it, he can seize the opportunity to exchange it.

Moreover, he is by the patriarch Zhou Daoyi's side every day, no matter what problems he has in cultivation, or what he doesn't understand in cultivating spiritual pets, he can ask for advice and get advice at any time.

This is also the treatment that ordinary Zhou family members do not have at all.

It can be said that Zhou Chun's current treatment is not much worse than that of Zhou Zhengkang back then, except that the Supreme Elder's side is still out of reach.

Although he has not been listed as the family foundation seed, he has actually begun to enjoy that kind of treatment.

　Khan, code words are too energy-consuming, I forgot to say happy Mid-Autumn Festival to my book friends yesterday!I also forgot to report the first order situation!Here is a report, the first order is more than 900 points, the current high-end order is growing well, the results are not bad, better than expected, the next step is to roll up your sleeves and work hard, the first goal is to reach a million words!
