It's spring again.

On the peak of the pagoda, Zhou Chun walked out of the ancestral hall, looking at the lush trees and flowers on the mountain, and his mood was just as bright and happy.

This is the seventh year since the end of the War with the Dragon Cult.

In the six years since the end of the war, the Zhou family has ushered in rapid development as expected.

The exploits and spoils harvested in the war have benefited most of the Zhou family monks from it.

In just six years, the Zhou family's Qi refining stage cultivators below the foundation building period have all improved their cultivation by an average of two levels.

There were some Zhou family monks who had originally cultivated low, but because they had received a sufficient supply of pills, they had cultivated three or four times in a row in six years.

Like Zhou Zhengyong's son Zhou Xinlan, who is now less than twenty years old, his cultivation has reached the seventh layer of the Qi Refining Period, which is much stronger than Zhou Chun's beginning.

The emergence of these young juniors has also greatly increased the number of people available under Zhou Chun's hands, and he finally no longer needs to rack his brains to think about how to use every manpower.

And thanks to the newly implemented super birth subsidy policy, now every few months, Zhou Chun will receive good news from his clan, telling him who has given birth to a son or daughter with spiritual root qualifications.

At the same time, the population of those demon beasts domesticated in the Zhou Family Beast Garden is also expanding year after year.

Thanks to the large number of demon beast corpses hoarded by the Zhou family before, under the condition that the supply of spirit beast rations is sufficient, many of the demon beasts domesticated by the Zhou family have accelerated their breeding frequency, and even some demon beast cultivation has broken through a small realm.

In this case, Zhou Chun can see reports almost every few days about who has made progress in cultivation, who has given birth to a good son, and which kind of demon beast has given birth to cubs.

And all of this naturally made him, the patriarch, happy.

Everything is moving in a good direction.

As long as this development continues, the strength and heritage of the Zhou family will grow steadily and become stronger.

On this day, Zhou Chun was invited by Lin Wan'er, an honorary elder, to inspect the family dead camp.

Over the years, the Zhou family has never stopped recruiting these domestic servants and dead soldiers.

Today, there are as many as forty-six monks who are trained in the camp of the Zhou family.

The person with the highest cultivation level is already the sixth level of cultivation in the Qi refining period, and there are also three people who have cultivated in the middle stage of Qi refining.

At the same time, these people are also old and young, some are over 20 years old, and some are only eight or nine years old.

Zhou Chun rarely came to this camp of the dead soldiers, but the materials here were all allocated by him.

At this time, after he entered the camp of the dead soldiers, he soon met Lin Wan'er, the person in charge.

"Elder Lin, you invited me here today, I don't know what you are going to show me?"

His eyes swept over Lin Wan'er's pretty face, and Zhou Chun quickly looked at her with a smile on his face and asked about the specific situation.

"I invited the patriarch to come over today, naturally I want to ask the patriarch to see the results of the concubine in the past few years."

Lin Wan'er answered Zhou Chun's question in a calm tone, and then said to a young man behind her, "Xu Fu, you can start." ”

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

"Yes, Commander."

The emaciated young man in green clothes responded respectfully in his mouth, and his body moved, and he appeared on the martial arts arena dozens of zhang outside with a flexible and elegant body.

At this time, Lin Wan'er reached out and picked up a spirit beast bag on her waist, and released an unconscious black giant leopard demon beast from it.

Zhou Chun could see at a glance that it was a first-order high-grade demon beast Black Wind Leopard.

I saw that after Lin Wan'er released the black wind leopard, she immediately used a mana to wake it up.

Whew-

The Black Wind Leopard who had just woken up was still in a state of misuse, just roaring in his throat and letting out a series of roars.

But at this time, Xu Fu on the martial arts arena had already raised his hand to pinch the trick, and waved his hand to throw out a cyan wind blade and slash at the black wind leopard.

This moment suddenly made the Black Wind Leopard blow up.

It jumped several feet high on the spot with its nimble body, dodging the attack of the cyan wind blade.

Immediately, it pounced towards Xu Fumeng like a black whirlwind.

And in the face of the attack of this first-order high-grade demon beast, Xu Fu, who had only cultivated at the sixth level of the Qi refining period, did not show the slightest hint of fear.

He raised his hand and slapped it on the storage bag at his waist, and a black iron shield magic weapon flew out and flew around him.

At the same time, with a flick of his sleeve, a blue-black arrow weapon shot towards the pounced Black Wind Leopard.

The sharp arrow struck through the air, but the Black Wind Leopard opened its mouth and spit out, and a blue-black air flow erupted from its mouth, forcibly rolling the arrow to the side.

And the black wind leopard's speeding body quickly came to Xu Fu's side, and the beast's claws slapped fiercely at the young man.

Peng!

A bang rang out, and the black iron shield guarding the youth was flapped out with a claw.

Then, just as the Black Wind Leopard stabilized its body and was about to continue its attack, the young man in front of him moved and took the initiative to rush in front of it.

But seeing the blue light flickering, the young man's right paw slashed across the stunned Black Wind Leopard's cheek, leaving a bloody claw mark on its left cheek, as well as half an ear.

Roar –

The disfigurement and the pain of severed ears instantly made the Black Wind Leopard's eyes bloodshot and roared angrily.

It quickly turned around and spat out a series of blue-black wind blades towards the youth, and then the blue-black aura around it pounced fiercely at the youth, much faster than before.

However, the young man's body was also extremely flexible at this time, his body was surrounded by a breeze, and his body was as light as a feather on the ground and in mid-air, not only perfectly avoiding the wind blade spewed by the Black Wind Leopard, but even dodging the Black Wind Leopard's close-range attack.

After dodging the Black Wind Leopard's many pounces like a matador one after another, the young man saw the opportunity and waved his hand, and the blue-black arrow that he had withdrawn at some point came out of his hand and went straight into the right eye of the Black Wind Leopard.

First he was cut off one of his left ears, and then he was shot blind in his right eye, and the Black Wind Leopard was completely insane.

It stared viciously at the young man with its left left eye, chasing him like a mad dog, pounceing and biting, trying to tear the crippled human to shreds.

But every time it was just a little bit closer, and every time it was a phantom that the claws of the beast could only shatter the youth.

Gradually, the blood stained its face red, and its physical strength decreased due to excessive blood loss, and its speed slowed down a beat.

It was this slow action that quickly killed it.

When it pounced in the air again, the young man who had been dodging its pounce suddenly jumped onto its back, and then stabbed its claws into its neck, tearing the major arteries and trachea in its neck!

Rumble!

With the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, the Black Wind Leopard's body fell to the ground and began to twitch violently, and hot blood gushed out from the wounds on its neck and mouth, quickly staining the ground blood-red.

However, the initiator had already jumped high with the help of its strength at the moment when its body landed, and slowly floated to the ground on the side like a falling feather.

Bang Bang Bang!

The applause rang out from outside the field, and I saw Zhou Chun clapping with both hands, while looking at the young man in the audience with a look of surprise and praised: "It's a wonderful battle, defeating the strong with the weak, and still defeating the strong with the help of powerful magic weapons and magic runes, such a performance is indeed amazing!" ”

His praise was completely heartfelt.

If it weren't for what he had seen with his own eyes just now, Zhou Chun wouldn't have believed that Xu Fu, who had only cultivated at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Period, would be able to do this.

Just like he said, none of the three magic weapons Xu Fu used in the battle just now were first-order high-grade magic weapons.

And the magic talisman has not been used by Xu Fu throughout the whole process.

From beginning to end, Xu Fu only used three first-order mid-grade magic weapons, which were the black iron shield magic weapon used for defense at the beginning, the blue-black arrow loss magic weapon, and a pair of boot magic weapons that he wore on his feet.

Just by relying on these three first-order mid-grade magic weapons, plus the first layer of the "Dragon Transformation Secret" of cultivation, Xu Fu was able to defeat the strong with the weak, and single-handedly kill a first-order high-grade demon beast Black Wind Leopard with mid-stage Qi refining cultivation.

This kind of record really amazed Zhou Chun.

At least he couldn't have done that himself!

At this time, facing Zhou Chun's praise, Xu Fu also hurriedly knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Thank you for the praise of the patriarch, the subordinates can do this because of the cultivation and teaching of the commander." ”

"I've taught everyone here, but you're the only one who can do it at the moment, so you don't need to be humble in your own skills."

Lin Wan'er said as she looked at Zhou Chun and said, "Patriarch, you have also seen that Xu Fu's current strength, ordinary first-order high-grade demon beasts and late-stage qi refining cultivators may not be his opponents, and he is almost no longer able to stay in this training camp." ”

"What Elder Lin means ......"

Zhou Chun looked at Lin Wan'er, a little unsure of what she meant.

"If the patriarch allows, the concubine wants him to go out to cultivate the immortal world to experience and gain more life experience, so as not to have a good ability, but in the end, he will be planted because he doesn't understand the world!"

Lin Wan'er looked at Zhou Chun and said her plan in a low tone.

And Zhou Chun, who heard her words, immediately frowned.

Although it has never been talked about, the original intention of the Zhou family in cultivating these domestic servants is not to let them help the Zhou family kill anyone, but to make them competent in the future to search for resources in the wilderness.

Therefore, the main skill that these people learn in the camp is to identify various spiritual resources.

They are defined as warriors, gatherers.

Learning how to deal with other immortal cultivators was not in the Zhou family's plan.

After all, these people will probably not have the opportunity to contact the immortal cultivators from the outside world until they die!

And although these things were not deliberately said, with Lin Wan'er's wisdom, she should be able to see that they were.

"Elder Lin, is this a love for talent?"

Zhou Chun looked at Lin Wan'er and asked.

"Sort of, this kid not only has outstanding spiritual qualifications, but also is very smart and intelligent, and the concubine is very optimistic about his future achievements!"

Lin Wan'er bowed slightly, admitting her love and cherishing her talents.

After hearing her words, Zhou Chun couldn't help but groan.

After all, Lin Wan'er is the honorary elder of the Zhou family, and this is the first time she has raised her opinion after joining the Zhou family.

Zhou Chun must not be easily denied.

After pondering like this for a long time, Zhou Chuncai nodded lightly and said, "Okay, since Elder Lin values this kid so much, then allow him to travel for three years, and Elder Lin will arrange everything yourself." ”

When Lin Wan'er heard this, she was also relieved in her heart, and even shouted to Xu Fu: "Xu Fu, you also heard it, don't thank the patriarch soon." ”

Xu Fu, who heard her words, also hurriedly knelt down and thanked: "My subordinates, thank you for the kindness of the patriarch, and thank you for the importance of the commander!" ”

Seeing this, Zhou Chun couldn't help but step forward to help him up personally, then patted him on the shoulder and said: "Work hard, with your talent, as long as you do good things for my Zhou family in the future, it will not be difficult to build a foundation!" ”

After speaking, he nodded to Lin Wan'er and left first.

In this way, a few days later, under Lin Wan'er's arrangement, Xu Fu left the Zhoujia Mountain Gate, and the intelligence monk arranged by her took him to the immortal cultivation realm to practice.

For Zhou Chun, no matter how talented Xu Fu is, he is an outsider after all, and he is not worthy of his attention.

He is more concerned about the juniors of his own clan.

These people may not be as talented as Xu Fu, but they are their own people that the Zhou family can really rely on.

There are three descendants of the Zhou family who are now focused on by Zhou Chun, namely Zhou Xinlan, Zhou Xindie, and Zhou Xintie.

Zhou Xinlan is the son of Zhou Zhengyong, and he has always been taken care of by Zhou Chun, and half a year ago he also showed a not weak alchemy talent, and now he is learning alchemy skills with Zhou Zhengyuan in Baiyao Peak.

Zhou Xindie was brought back by Zhou Chun from Fengguo, because he was pregnant with the "Three Yin Body", and Zhou Chun also paid more attention to it.

Recently, I found that she was more interested in the way of formation, and it seemed that she also had some talent in this way, and Zhou Chun had specially approved her to study some of the formation works left by the late second elder Zhou Chongshan.

As for Zhou Xintie, this junior was not valued much by Zhou Chun.

But just over a year ago, at the age of seventeen, he had refined a rudimentary magic weapon.

Although it was only a simple magic weapon that could barely be called a first-order low-grade magic weapon, considering that Zhou Xintie had only failed fifteen times to refine this magic weapon, his refining talent was also extremely impressive.

After Zhou Chun learned about this, he immediately had a feeling of picking up a treasure.

Therefore, after seeing the magic weapon refined by Zhou Xintie with his own eyes, he decided to train this junior as the future chief refiner of the Zhou family.

Not only did he specially approve a large number of refining materials, but in order to facilitate his future refining, he was also allowed to contract a newborn Red Flame Vajra Monkey.

You must know that although the Red Flame King Kong Monkey has successfully achieved population reproduction in the Zhou family, the population has not increased.

Up to now, all the Red Flame Vajra Monkeys of the Zhou family have only six in total.

In short, for those who really have the potential to cultivate, Zhou Chun is absolutely not stingy with investment.
