Jiufeng Ridge.

When Zhou Chun was assigned by the shopkeeper Zhou Jiasheng to return to the Zhou family for the funeral on behalf of the spirit beast Zhai, he saw that the Zhou monks in the family were wrapped in white cloth on their heads, and the family mourned for the great elder Zhou Mingshan, who had passed away.

Seeing this, he hurriedly asked for a piece of white cloth to wrap around his head, and then went to the pagoda peak to pay homage to the body of the great elder Zhou Mingshan.

Counting up, it has been five or six years since the Zhou family laid its foundation in Jiufengling, but it is the first time that a monk like Zhou Mingshan has died of immortal death.

How to go through this funeral process also needs to be discussed and formulated by Zhou Daoyi, as the patriarch, and the elders.

Finally, after discussion, it was decided that according to Zhou Mingshan's status as an elder, the time for the funeral was set at nine days.

During these nine days, in addition to the unshirkable tasks such as guarding the Pure Spirit Pavilion, all the monks of the Zhou family in the family mountain gate had to recite mantras for the elder Zhou Mingshan outside the ancestral shrine on the pagoda peak, and overtake the deceased.

And during these nine days, there were also the other four major immortal cultivation families who got the news of the funeral, as well as some other forces in Lanzhou, each sent people to mourn.

Some casual cultivators who live and cultivate near Zhou's house in Jiufengling will also stop by to pay respects when they come to Zhou's house to cultivate.

After nine days of such a big operation, Zhou Mingshan's body was sent to the tomb of the mountain clan behind the pagoda peak to be buried in peace.

When the body is buried, the funeral is over.

The lives of most of the Zhou monks have returned to normal, no different from before.

Zhou Chun was able to meet with the patriarch Zhou Daoyi in private at this time.

He also came with a mission this time, that is, to ask if the clan could still stably supply all kinds of Zhou family's unique elixirs to the Spirit Beast Zhai.

"You can rest assured at this point, before the Great Elder passed away, he had already reserved enough elixir for the family to refine for a few years, and the supply of the store in the future will indeed be reduced, but it will not be reduced too much!"

When Zhou Daoyi said this, he asked with concern: "Is the number of customers in the store still declining?" Or is there something new going on in the Spirit Beast Pavilion? ”

"Patriarch Mingjian, the number of guests is indeed continuing to decline, and the Spirit Beast Pavilion has not done any new tricks for the time being, I guess they are just watching our jokes!"

When Zhou Chun said this, his face was also full of bitterness.

Seeing this, Zhou Daoyi couldn't help but sigh and said: "Hey, this is also a matter of no way, you all have to look at it, the family now has the income support of the Chiyao Iron Vein, and it can still last for a few years!" ”

Hearing Zhou Daoyi say this, Zhou Chun felt a little better in his heart.

Now he and Zhou Jiasheng are afraid that the family will not understand them, thinking that their inability has caused the store's revenue to drop sharply, which really makes them speechless.

At that moment, he also saluted with gratitude and thanked: "Thank you for your understanding, the junior will truthfully convey your words to the sixteenth uncle when he goes back." ”

After that, he talked about another thing.

"Patriarch Mingjian, the junior received a strange fish corpse from a loose cultivator a few days ago, and the younger generation of this strange fish has never seen it after reading the demon beast atlas collected by the Zhou family, and I don't know what the material on its body is for, so I want to ask the patriarch to identify it to see if this fish has any special value."

While saying this, Zhou Chun also reached out and patted the storage bag on his waist and took out the wooden box containing the corpse of the strange fish.

Because he used a lot of ice cubes to keep it fresh, the strange fish carcasses in the wooden box still maintained a good freshness, which was not much different from the situation he bought at that time.

At this time, Zhou Daoyi looked at the corpse of the strange fish he took out, and his eyes were slightly condensed, and he looked at it carefully.

After taking a closer look like this, he nodded slightly at Zhou Chun and said, "It is indeed a new type of demon beast that has not been recorded by the family, and you can tell me in detail about the situation of this kind of demon beast!" ”

"Yes."

Zhou Chun responded, and immediately repeated the words that Sanshura Guangshun had said at that time.

"As that Sanxiu said, this strange fish should be a kind of social demon beast that inhabits underwater, so it shows that their reproductive ability must not be bad."

"If it doesn't have high requirements for the habitat environment, and if it doesn't have high requirements for food, even if it has no other use, you can catch some rivers and ponds inside and outside the family mountain gate as a food reserve for other carnivorous monsters!"

After Zhou Daoyi listened to what Zhou Chun said, he groaned for a while, and then expressed his opinion.

The group monster has always been a demon beast that the Zhou family values more.

Because the fact that it is easy to breed in groups of demon beasts can help the family avoid the embarrassing situation that the family monk does not have a demon beast contract in many cases.

However, social monsters also have their disadvantages, that is, once the population is too large, it is difficult to provide enough food to feed them for a long time.

Monsters like the red-tailed monkey and the emerald crowned flying snake are better, either eating fruit plants or eating very little.

If you replace it with those large carnivorous monsters such as lions, tigers, wolves and leopards, the consumption of meat will be too great.

Moreover, this kind of monster beast is also picky about food, and generally only eats live animals and fresh meat, and it is really difficult to breed it on a large scale.

Therefore, the Zhou family now does not dare to hunt this kind of demon beast outside to raise.

If the strange fish brought by Zhou Chun do not have high requirements for the water environment and food, then it is not bad to domesticate them as a high-grade demon beast food.

"The junior understands this, and the junior will find a way to contact that loose cultivator in the future to see if he can learn about the nest of this strange fish from his mouth!"

Zhou Chun nodded, indicating that he knew what to do.

After leaving the strange fish corpse in the family for study, Zhou Chun went to a nearby mortal town to visit his parents and others.

Since he went to Fang City, he has rarely had time to visit his parents, siblings.

When I went back this time, I found that the fifth brother had already married a wife, and the wife was pregnant, and the fourth sister's family also added a big fat boy.

It's a pity that he is still a mortal without a spiritual root qualification!

"Son, you can remember us, just come and visit us once in a while, but don't waste your own cultivation because of this."

"We have a family to take care of, and your brothers and sisters to respect, everything is fine!"

In the side hall where the Zhou family dined, after Zhou Chun's family had a reunion dinner around the long table, Zhou's father looked at Zhou Chun with loving eyes and said these words.

As soon as his words fell, the second brother who had a brighter head among Zhou Chun's brothers and sisters hurriedly followed: "Yes, yes, my father is right, the third brother, you are the only immortal cultivator in our family for several generations, you must not waste your cultivation because of us ordinary people, my father and mother have a few of us to take care of, you can rest assured." ”

Then the eldest sister also hurriedly followed and said: "Second brother is right, third brother, your own cultivation is the most important, take care of your father and mother with us, don't dare to delay your practice because of these things." ”

As soon as their eldest sister and second brother spoke, the remaining fourth sister and fifth brother, even if their eyesight was poor, they knew that they must say a few words at this time.

Immediately followed with similar words.

When Zhou Chun saw this scene, his mood was suddenly very complicated.

In fact, he didn't say that he had a deep relationship with these family members, but because he was weak-hearted, he often found time to visit these family members out of compensation.

Unexpectedly, his enthusiastic performance now has caused misunderstanding among these family members.

It really didn't make him know what to say.

However, he did find that when there was only one immortal cultivator in the family, it was indeed a little strange for the family to get along.

Zhou's father and Zhou's mother are okay, but several brothers and sisters and their spouses and children are very reserved, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are cautious.

If he doesn't talk to them, he doesn't dare to talk to himself, even if he actually smiles all the time.

It seems that he, Zhou Chun, is not their brother, but a superior leader who can decide their future and life and death with one word.

And this feeling of getting along with his subordinates not only did not make Zhou Chun, as a "leader", very happy, but made him feel very awkward and uncomfortable.

At this moment, looking at several brothers and sisters who actively behaved to please him, Zhou Chun was also silent for a while.

Then he didn't say anything, just nodded lightly and said, "Father, don't worry, the child knows everything in his heart, and he won't slack off in his cultivation." ”

After speaking, he said to several brothers and sisters: "Then in the future, my father and mother will trouble the eldest sister, second brother, fourth sister, and fifth brother, you are more attentive, if you encounter any difficulties, or lack anything, you must send me a message in time, and I will try my best to help you solve it." ”

Hearing his words, whether it was Zhou's father and Zhou's mother, or several brothers and sisters, they all showed happy smiles.

Next, Zhou Chun, who originally wanted to stay in the family for two days, could only return to Fang City in advance.

After returning to Fang City, Zhou Chun conveyed the explanation of the patriarch Zhou Daoyi to the shopkeeper Zhou Jiasheng, which made the shopkeeper, who had been in a bad mood recently, a little relieved, and his complexion looked a lot better.

Without the pressure from the family, and after making sure that the supply of the store will not be reduced a lot, he, the shopkeeper, will indeed have a lot less pressure.

So the two of them are running and maintaining the store while racking their brains to think about how to recover the lost popularity.

On this day, Zhou Chunxin thought about the strange fish found by Sanshura Guangshun, so he asked for a leave to go to Liu Qingshan and ask him if he had a way to find the other party.

But since Liu Qingshan was grounded in Fang City, he has less contact with these friends, and he can't give Zhou Chun any help.

And just as Zhou Chun was on his way back to the store, when he passed by the vicinity of the Spirit Beast Pavilion, he suddenly stared at him and saw a familiar monk who happened to come out of the Spirit Beast Pavilion.

How could he go to the Spirit Beast Pavilion?

Behind a big tree, Zhou Chun looked at the back of the monk who had left quickly after coming out of the Spirit Beast Pavilion, his eyes were full of surprise.
