Chapter 10: The First Pet
Jiufeng Ridge, Baozhi Peak.
After the Zhou family occupied the Jiufeng Ridge, except for the main peak pagoda where the Taishang elders and patriarchs were located, each spirit peak had a peak master.
The peak master of Baozhi Peak is named Zhou He, a female cultivator of the Zhou family who has cultivated at the twelfth level of the Qi refining period, and she is already sixty-seven years old.
Before Zhou Chun came to Baozhi Peak, there were a total of twelve Zhou family monks on Baozhi Peak who settled down to practice, including Zhou Yong, who had a good relationship with him.
At this time, after returning from the pagoda peak, Zhou Chun, under the leadership of Zhou Yong, first went to the mountain to meet Zhou He, the peak master.
As the old man of the Zhou family, Zhou He was also extremely happy to learn that Zhou Chun, a clansman with good qualifications, had returned to the family and was under his command.
even took out the spiritual honey tea that he was usually reluctant to drink on the spot and entertained Zhou Chun.
Then he personally took Zhou Chun to an independent courtyard and arranged this mountain courtyard for him as a residence.
After that, he took Zhou Chun to visit the other Zhou family monks on the mountain, so that everyone on the mountain knew that there was another clansman like Zhou Chun.
Such a warm reception made Zhou Chun feel flattered, and his heart was even warmer.
In this way, it was not until late at night that he was able to return to his solitary courtyard and quietly sort out what had happened today.
There is no doubt that today's various experiences fully illustrate the correctness of his decision to return to the Zhou family.
When you return to the Zhou family, you will indeed be bound by the family rules, and you will indeed be controlled by the patriarch, elders and others.
But after returning to the Zhou family, the benefits that he can enjoy are completely worthy of the constraints he receives.
In short, the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages.
And judging from today's experience, judging from the situation with Zhou Fei and the others in the past few days, the atmosphere inside the Zhou family should be quite good.
Intrigue may be inevitable, but it should have little to do with ordinary people like them.
Of course, now that he has just returned to the family, these are not yet conclusive, and the follow-up remains to be seen.
After sorting out what he had experienced today, Zhou Chun suddenly reached out and patted the storage bag and took out the rock and soil turtle spirit egg that the patriarch Zhou Guyi had given him.
I saw him open the jade box, and a huge gray-white beast egg came into view.
This giant egg was even bigger than the ostrich egg that Zhou Chun had seen in his previous life, and it was the turtle egg laid by the low-level demon beast rock and soil turtle.
The Immortal Cultivation Realm divides the demon beasts into the cultivation realm corresponding to the immortal cultivators, from one to the sixth order, and then divides them into four levels: low, intermediate, high, and top according to the growth potential of the demon beasts.
Generally speaking, the upper limit of the growth potential of low-level demon beasts is the first order.
Unless there is a special opportunity to transform and evolve one's own bloodline, it is basically impossible for a low-level demon beast to grow to the second order.
In the same way, the upper limit of the growth potential of intermediate demon beasts is the second order, the growth potential of high-level demon beasts is the third order, and the growth potential of top demon beasts is the fourth order.
Therefore, if someone can get the egg of a top-level demon beast, or a cub, then as long as he can live until that top-level demon beast grows up, he can obtain a fourth-order demon beast whose strength is comparable to that of a Jindan stage monk as a spiritual pet.
The Rock Soil Turtle Spirit Egg in Zhou Chun's hand, although it was only a descendant of a low-level demon beast, but among the low-level demon beasts, the Rock Turtle was a very powerful demon beast, at least much stronger than the "Wind Shadow Leopard" he had cultivated before.
This kind of demon beast not only has super strong defense ability and tenacious vitality, but also has not weak attack ability, and when it becomes an adult, it is equivalent to a first-order high-grade demon beast, and it can rival a late-stage Qi refining cultivator.
It can be said that if such a rock and soil turtle spirit egg is sold in the market, it is worth at least three hundred spirit coins.
Therefore, Zhou Guyi's reward for Zhou Chun's return to the family is not ungenerous.
Zhou Chun held the spirit egg of the rock and soil turtle in his hand at this time and looked at it for a while, and soon cut his fingers, dripping blood into ink, using stone as paper, and carving a contract circle on a flat stone slab.
The Zhou family, as an immortal cultivator family known for its beast control techniques, has mastered a variety of secret techniques that can allow immortal cultivators and demon beasts to establish a contractual relationship.
The "Soul Control Blood Array" that Zhou Chun is using now is the safest and most reliable contract secret technique.
However, this method is only suitable for contract rock and soil turtle spirit eggs, which have not yet produced spiritual intelligence demon beast eggs, and it is difficult for those demon beast cubs and adult demon beasts that have been born and opened their eyes.
I saw that after he spent almost two quarters of an hour carving the contract circle, he then carved the relevant spirit patterns on the eggshell of the rock and soil turtle spirit egg.
After the surface of the gray-white rock and soil turtle spirit egg was covered with various blood-colored spirit patterns, Zhou Chun placed the spirit egg on the stone slab depicting the contract array, and then used the blood as a guide to pinch the mantra and stimulate the contract array.
With the activation of the contract array, the formation patterns carved by Zhou Yang's blood on the stone slab suddenly turned into blood mist and rose like boiled water, surging towards the rock and soil turtle spirit egg in the middle.
Soon, the entire Rock and Earth Turtle Spirit Egg was wrapped in a cloud of blood mist.
At this time, the rock and soil turtle spirit egg, which was originally motionless, suddenly emitted a suction force as if it sensed something, absorbing the blood mist outside into the spirit egg, turning it into nourishment for its own growth.
As all the blood mist was absorbed, the Rock and Earth Turtle Spirit Egg returned to its previous grayish-white color.
But at this time, Zhou Chun had already established a mysterious connection with the rock and soil turtle spirit egg, and he could faintly feel that the life inside that was originally forbidden to grow was rapidly growing up.
Generally speaking, if after obtaining a demon beast spirit egg, if a suitable owner is not found for the time being, an immortal cultivator who has mastered the secret method of special sealing will use the secret method to temporarily seal the vitality of the spirit egg, greatly delaying the time for its growth and hatching.
It is not until the owner contracts the demon beast spirit egg that the seal will be invalidated, and at this time, the demon beast spirit egg will be conceived and hatched at a speed that is many times faster than normal.
After Zhou Chun observed the rock and soil turtle spirit egg for almost an hour, he came to the conclusion that in as little as two days or as long as three days, this demon beast spirit egg would hatch successfully.
So he didn't put it away, but put it under the bed and let it hatch on its own.
In the second half of the night, Zhou Chun only slept lightly for less than two hours, and then got up and rushed to the top cliff of Baozhi Peak.
He thought he had arrived early enough, and that it should not be five o'clock before he arrived.
But after arriving here, I found that Zhou Yong and the other three Zhou family monks on Baozhi Peak were already waiting here.
"It seems that there is no shortage of hard-working people in the world!"
Zhou Chun sighed slightly in his heart, and also found a place to sit down.
At about two o'clock, when I saw that the sky was gradually whitening, there were already seven Zhou family monks gathered on the cliff.
At this time, the seven people sat cross-legged on the cliff, and their hands quickly entered the state of meditation and practice.
By the time the morning sun was rising and the purple qi was coming east, the seven people had already entered the best realm, and they had collected a wisp of Chaoyang purple qi in the most complete state and refined it into their bodies.
By the time Zhou Chun reopened his eyes and got up, the sky was already bright, and the time had reached four o'clock.
At this time, three Zhou family monks had already taken the lead and left, while the other three, including Zhou Yong, were still meditating.
Seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately quietly left the cliff on the top of the mountain and went to the public dining room on the top of Baozhi Peak to enjoy breakfast.
The Zhou family migrated from Fengguo, and the vast majority of the lay people stayed in Fengguo and could not bring them over, and only a few ordinary relatives of high-level monks such as elders during the foundation building period were able to be brought to Yasukuni.
Now that the Zhou family is in ruins, these mortals, even if they are relatives of the high-level monks of the Zhou family, still have to contribute their own strength to the Zhou family.
Therefore, places such as the canteens and drying rooms of each peak are all done by these people.
It's just that these people used to be pampered, and now they are doing these things, which is naturally unsatisfactory.
Zhou Chun took a few meat buns for breakfast, but two of them were not fully cooked, that is, he didn't spend any money, and because he didn't want to cause trouble just now, otherwise he really had to scold people.
In the end, he threw down a few buns and left, and decided to cook for himself in the future.
In this way, he casually found some edible wild fruits in the mountains to fill his stomach, and Zhou Chun rushed to the residence of the peak master Zhou He.
What is the situation of the Zhou family now, although Zhou Fei and others have said some things before, they have not said it in too much detail, especially the various rules and regulations, which are not very detailed.
Now he still needs Zhou He, the peak master, to explain Zhou Chun in detail, so that he has a spectrum in his heart.
