Chapter 11: The Pure Spirit Pavilion and the Sinking Well
"The previous family rules of my Zhou family, you should be clear about Brother Chun, and the old body will not be repeated."
"Now that the family has taken root in this Jiufeng Ridge, and it will become a cultivator family in the future, there will definitely be changes in the rules, and this point will have to be discussed and changed by the Supreme Elders, the patriarchs, and the elders."
"At present, the family has only added a few more rules according to local conditions and time conditions."
"First, you are not allowed to be appointed by the family, and you are not allowed to go out and leave Jiufengling easily, this article is mainly to protect all the clansmen, and at the same time to minimize the chance of provoking enemies, after all, we are not familiar with the place now, and we don't know much about the situation on the Yasukuni side."
"The second is that the family is not allowed to permission, it is not allowed to show off the family's various means in front of outsiders, it is not allowed to leak the family's internal information to outsiders, and it is not allowed to bring outsiders back to the family, which is also to protect the family and the clan."
"Third, in order to concentrate on doing great things, the family temporarily stopped issuing spirit coins to the clan as welfare and task rewards, and instead used good deeds to count, a little good deeds corresponded to a spirit coin, and after the family completely gained a foothold, the exchange of good deeds and spirit coins will be opened."
……
All kinds of rules and taboos, large and small, can be found in Zhou He's mouth and into Zhou Chun's ears.
One of them spoke clearly and in detail, the other listened carefully, and took notes as they listened.
In less than a day, Zhou Chun had a clearer understanding of the current situation of the Zhou family.
It should be said that the current situation of the Zhou family is not bad.
Not counting the children of the family who may still be wandering outside like Zhou Chun, there are still more than one hundred and thirty immortal cultivators in the Zhou family, including one monk in the Purple Mansion period, four monks in the foundation building period, and the rest are all immortal cultivators in the Qi refining period.
This kind of strength is placed in the entire Yasukuni Immortal Cultivation Realm, and it can also rank among the top ten among many immortal cultivation families.
It's just that the Zhou family is new after all, and they have forcibly occupied the treasure land of Jiufengling by violent means, which makes them now have a very bad reputation among the Yasukuni scattered cultivation group.
And the surrounding Yasukuni immortal cultivation sects and immortal cultivation families are also a little wary and hostile to them, an external force, and are not very willing to cooperate with the Zhou family.
Fortunately, there are three other forces split out of the Three Absolute Sects to share the pressure in this regard, and for the time being, no one should dare to be the first to jump out and be the enemy of the Zhou family.
It seems that the top management of the Zhou family is also very aware of the difficulties that the family is facing now, and the rules formulated according to the conditions of the time are all to deal with these difficulties.
Zhou Chun believes that they should have other external measures to break this predicament, but he doesn't know for the time being.
Of course, now the Zhou family can't worry about it, and his cultivation strength can't affect the Zhou family's decision-making.
Now he only needs to follow the above arrangement, practice every day, and do a good job of all the tasks that have been arranged.
And after explaining Zhou Chun's various things, Zhou He also told him a piece of news.
That is, the group of loose cultivators who ambushed them near Jiufeng Ridge before, all of them had been killed by the third elder Zhou Quan, and they had also killed more than a dozen casual cultivators who also hated the Zhou family.
……
It's another sunny morning.
On Baozhi Peak, after Zhou Chun meditated on the top of the cliff on the top of the mountain and finished cultivating, he first returned to his residence for breakfast.
His breakfast is also simple, that is, white porridge with steamed buns, some preserved fruit pulp, and dried shredded pork.
In fact, many immortal cultivators do not have the habit of eating breakfast, at most they eat some wild fruits in the mountains in the morning and drink a few sips of clear springs.
When it comes to the foundation building period, it is common to go without food for a month after being able to clear the valley.
But Zhou Chun is different.
For him, maintaining the habit of eating three meals a day is a kind of commemoration of his past life, and makes him clearly realize that he is different from others every day.
And this little habit, even if someone finds out, will not care at all.
Even if someone really asked, Zhou Chun also had a good reason to explain.
After spending about two quarters of an hour after breakfast, Zhou Chun walked to the Jingling Pavilion on the mountainside of Baozhi Peak.
Located in a valley on the shady side of Baozhi Peak, the pavilion is quiet and fragrant, with many beautiful flowers.
After Zhou Chun arrived in the valley, he saw that in a four-corner pavilion in the middle of the valley, three Zhou monks were sitting around a well in the center.
Every once in a while, a black and white white jade pillar pops out of the well.
At this time, the three Zhou family monks would play one control trick after another against the jade pillar and press it back into the well, and so on.
That well is one of the foundations of the Pure Spirit Formation that shelters the Zhou family in Jiufengling, also known as the "Shen Sha Well".
On the nine spiritual peaks of Jiufeng Ridge, there is such a pure spirit pavilion and a sinking well.
At all times, there are monks of the Zhou family waiting by the well to control the magic circle, sinking the turbid qi absorbed by the formation into the depths of the ground, so as to ensure that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth absorbed and refined by the monks of the Zhou family on the mountain is pure aura.
It's a very tiring task, not only is it exhausting, but it also makes it impossible for people to meditate and do other things normally.
Therefore, the current rule of the Zhou family is that every disciple of the Zhou family who has cultivated in the middle stage of qi refining must guard the Pure Spirit Pavilion for at least three hours a day.
Zhou Chun is now settling down on Baozhi Peak to practice, and he will be guarding this Pure Spirit Pavilion every day in the future.
At this time, seeing that he had arrived at the Pure Spirit Pavilion on time, a monk of the Zhou family, who had been here for a long time, immediately nodded at him with a smile, said hello, and left this place first.
And Zhou Chun took over the other party's task, sat on the futon that the other party was sitting on just now, and guarded the "sinking well" with the other two Zhou family monks.
In addition to guarding the Pure Spirit Pavilion, a Zhou family Qi refining period cultivator like Zhou Chun also needed to take turns to guard several places in the Mountain Protection Array.
There is also a series of work to be done to hunt for those spirit animals domesticated in the mountain gate, build some buildings, open up mountain roads between the peaks, and reclaim the medicine garden.
However, except for the town guarding the Pure Spirit Pavilion, there must be no sloppy accidents, the rest of the work is not difficult, and no one is in charge, just do a little bit every day.
After all, there are not many other immortal cultivators, but there is a lot of time.
And while doing these jobs, Zhou Chun naturally slowly met with the other Zhou family monks and became familiar with them.
On this day, Zhou Chun and several Zhou family monks returned from hunting in the mountains outside Jiufeng Ridge, and after sending most of the prey to the beast garden, they returned to their residence.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw a rock turtle gnawing on the bark of a tree.
At this time, three months have passed since Zhou Chun returned to Zhou's house in Jiufengling.
The rock and soil turtle spirit egg, which was only an egg at the beginning, has now hatched and grown into a small gray-brown turtle the size of a basin, which looks a bit like the snapping turtle in Zhou Chun's previous life.
An adult rock turtle can stand on the back of three or four people without being crowded, so a turtle of this size is really just a "small turtle".
But don't look at this little guy's size, his teeth are not bad.
With its sharp teeth, it can easily crush pebbles.
Therefore, even if he has not awakened and mastered the innate spells of the Rock Turtle Clan, this little turtle is still a great threat to ordinary people.
And the best thing about rock and soil turtles is that they eat almost everything.
Animal meat, tree bark, and even soil, it can all be eaten and eaten, and its digestive ability is very strong.
At this time, the little turtle that was in the small tree in the yard immediately wagged its tail and turned its head to look at him, conveying the emotion of "hungry".
Generally speaking, spirit beasts that are hatched and domesticated by immortal cultivators since childhood will have a much higher IQ than wild demon beasts because they are rarely affected by the erosion of turbidity qi.
Some monster beasts that are born with a relatively high IQ are even more likely to obtain wisdom that is no less than that of humans.
However, the IQ of the rock and soil turtle is not very famous, relying on the relationship between the two parties' spiritual contract, it can convey the emotion of solution, for this little turtle that is only three months old, it is already the best performance it can make.
Fortunately, Zhou Chun didn't have any expectations for the IQ of this rock turtle, he only took a fancy to his talent of rough skin and thick flesh and ability to resist fighting, as long as he could help him fight in the future.
At this time, he immediately stepped forward, took out some beast hearts, livers and other great supplements that had been specially left behind from the storage bag and threw them into the food bowl, so that the little turtle could slowly gnaw and eat by himself.
I also went into the kitchen to make a fire and cooked.
Two quarters of an hour later, Zhou Chun stir-fried, roasted, or boiled a few dishes, and then enjoyed this sumptuous dinner by himself.
