Zhou Daoyi had already had a double cultivation with Lin Hongyu!

When Zhou Chun learned about this from Zhou Mingde, he was also shocked.

's strong curiosity made him immediately want to get to the bottom of the matter and ask about the details.

But for the sake of Zhou Daoyi's face, Zhou Mingde couldn't tell the real details, only that it was a special situation in an unexpected situation.

However, although he didn't want to say it explicitly, Zhou Chun recalled the contact process between the family and Lin Hongyu before, and still roughly guessed the time when it happened.

Then his mood became a little complicated.

But it was also associated with the acquaintance process of himself and Su Yuzhen.

In a sense, the emotional experiences of the two generations of their Zhou family patriarchs are also quite similar.

No wonder after he came back from the Su family, Zhou Daoyi did not have any objection to his approach.

And with his wisdom, of course he understood what Zhou Mingde meant by "figured it out" at this time.

I'm afraid that it is the same as to himself before, Zhou Mingde has not done much ideological work on Zhou Daoyi over the years, trying to make Zhou Daoyi accept Lin Hongyu and marry her into the Zhou family.

Now it seems that Zhou Daoyi is the same as him, and finally he couldn't hold on anymore and chose to compromise.

Zhou Chun didn't know whether to be happy or lamented.

If Lin Hongyu joins the Zhou family, it will undoubtedly be a great thing for the Zhou family.

In that way, in addition to the Jindan family, the Zhou family will be regarded as a first-class existence in the immortal cultivation clan in the future.

But for Zhou Daoyi personally, when he made this choice, he was afraid that he was extremely uncomfortable!

But the matter has come to this point, since Zhou Daoyi has made a decision, what can Zhou Chun say?

He could only watch Zhou Daoyi take Lin Wan'er and leave the Zhou family and go to Chengguo to see Lin Hongyu.

Within half a month, Lin Hongyu returned to Lanzhou with Zhou Daoyi.

It's just that because the ancestor of the Su family is still sitting in the Zhou family's mountain gate, in order to prevent the news from leaking, Zhou Mingde had to go outside the family to meet her.

The meeting between the two went well.

Lin Hongyu has agreed to marry Zhou Daoyi and become the honorary elder of the Zhou family.

At the same time, he also agreed to go to the Yang Kingdom to mine the [Tuyuan Crystal Jade] vein.

But she also made her own request.

That is to take Lin Wan'er away to help her, and let the Zhou family fund the formation and some magic weapons and pills needed to establish a stronghold.

For this kind of request, the Zhou family will naturally not refuse.

Zhou Mingde personally went to order the relevant formation equipment from the You family, and transferred some magic weapons and pills from the family's treasure house to give them to her.

After these things were in hand, Lin Hongyu did not delay at all, and soon took Lin Wan'er and set off.

At this time, the insect plague has been extinguished, and the reconstruction of the Yang Kingdom has begun, and the sooner she passes, the easier it will be to open up the situation.

After all, the original immortal cultivation forces of the Yang Kingdom have suffered heavy losses, and many of them have directly cut off their inheritance.

Now that land is almost blank, and whoever goes there first will be able to seize the opportunity.

Lin Hongyu used to occupy the place with the [Earth Yuan Crystal Jade] vein at this time, and it would also seem very normal, and it would definitely not arouse suspicion.

After the Lin Hongyu and [Tuyuan Jingyu] veins were settled and dealt with in this way, the Zhou family no longer had any important matters to worry about Zhou Mingde, Zhou Chun and other high-level people.

The entire Zhou family has returned to the previous state of flat but rapid development.

Soon half a year passed, and the ancestor of the Su family completed the agreement with the Zhou family and returned to the Su family with a successful retirement.

And Su Yuzhen also said goodbye to Zhou Chun temporarily at his request and returned to the Su family to retreat.

Zhou Chun didn't have much reluctance to let Su Yu really leave.

Although the relationship between him and Su Yuzhen has made great progress in the past two years, the two often discuss the path of double cultivation together.

But probably for personality reasons, he really

It's hard to have that kind of inseparable affection for a certain nun.

Maybe in the dead of night, he will miss reminiscing about the joy of the boudoir with Su Yuzhen, but more often than not, he still devotes himself to practice.

Now Zhou Chun is very interested in the cultivation of the art of insect breeding, because recently he suddenly had an idea, wanting to use the art of insect breeding to cultivate the [Jasper Spirit Bee] originally domesticated by the Zhou family, and increase the population of this spirit bee.

The demon bee is also a kind of demon insect that is more commonly used in insect cultivation, but the demon bees used in combat are usually the kind of carnivorous poisonous bees.

And honey-producing demon bees like [Jasper Spirit Bee] are not strong in combat, and they are usually cultivated as economic demon insects by insect cultivation to earn spirit coins for themselves to feed the insect swarm.

Insect cultivator Han Yuan himself didn't have much research on demon bees, and his research direction was not on bee insects.

But fortunately, on the inheritance of the Qianlingmen classics he left behind, there is a lot of knowledge about the cultivation of honey-producing spirit bees, which provides Zhou Chun with feasible materials for reference.

In addition, the Zhou family has domesticated the [Jasper Spirit Bee] for so many years, and they have also recorded and studied various conditions of this spirit bee, which can save Zhou Chun a lot of observation and recording time.

In fact, normally speaking, with the reproduction rate of bee demon insects, the Zhou family's [Jade Spirit Bee] swarm should be expanding at an average rate of doubling every year.

But in fact, the expansion of the [Jasper Spirit Bee] swarm was restricted by two factors.

One is the growth of demon insects, not that the eggs laid by the [Jasper Spirit Bee] will become demon bees when they grow up, in fact, most of the eggs laid are just large bees when they grow up.

The second is the food supply of the bee colony, [Jasper Spirit Bee] mainly eats pollen, nectar and the nectar produced, and the pollen is better than the flowers blooming from various elixirs and spiritual trees.

However, the number of elixirs and spiritual trees is limited, and many varieties do not bloom once a year.

This leads to the fact that in order not to starve to death, the bee colony can only consciously and actively control the number of bee colonies, and dare not reproduce too many offspring.

The second factor is easy to say, now that the Zhou family is in full swing, if they make a request for cooperation with some immortal cultivators in Lanzhou and even neighboring states according to the conditions given to the Wang family of the Red Medicine Valley at the beginning, there will not be many people who will refuse.

In this way, beekeeping through other families' medicinal fields and fruit forests is enough to expand the size of the bee colony by several times, or even ten times!

And the first factor is the direction that Zhou Chun needs to attack.

He had to use the insect breeding technique inherited by the Thousand Spirit Sect to search for the weak and retain the strong, and take the initiative to promote the optimization of the bloodline of the [Jasper Spirit Bee] population, so that the appearance rate of the demon bees in the offspring they gave birth to greatly increased.

In this regard, it is necessary to use the help of some secret medicines and secret arts.

I have to say that Qianlingmen, as an expert in playing insects, has indeed achieved a very deep degree in the research and development of various insect repellent and insect breeding secret techniques.

In terms of the art of insect breeding, they have a special secret technique that can stimulate the appetite and time of the demon insects, and even prolong the dormancy time of the demon insects.

These secret techniques can greatly assist in the growth of demon insects.

For example, one of the most common combinations is to use secret techniques to stimulate the appetite of demon insects, so that they can devour a large amount of food at one time, and then use secret techniques to extend the dormancy time of demon insects, so that they can digest the nutrients contained in food in dormancy, and grow and mature faster.

These secret techniques may have some adverse effects on the lifespan of demon insects, but when doing some research, they can indeed save a lot of time.

When Zhou Chun was doing research at this time, he took thirty larvae from the hive and cultivated them individually.

Under his solitary cultivation, the larvae, which would have taken about three months to mature, matured in just one month.

And whether the offspring of the [Jasper Spirit Bee] can become demon bees is the time to reveal the answer at the moment of maturity.

With a few exceptions, the vast majority of demon bees evolve from juveniles to matures.

Under normal circumstances, the [Jasper Spirit Bee] that evolves into a demon bee after maturity will be accepted as a member of the colony.

Those bees that do not become demon bees will be driven away or killed

Die.

I don't know if it's Zhou Chun's luck, or because he invested a lot of money when cultivating these larvae.

The original one-tenth of the evolutionary success rate was about to double this time, and a total of five [Jasper Spirit Bees] were cultivated from thirty larvae.

These five [Jasper Spirit Bees] are no different from normal Spirit Bees, but they are all worker bees.

Although worker bees can also lay eggs, the eggs laid by such worker bees are difficult to grow and evolve into demon bees after hatching.

The next thing Zhou Chun had to do was to make a queen bee appear among the five [Jade Spirit Bees].

According to Qianlingmen's research records, the most effective way to optimize the bloodline of the bee colony is to optimize the bloodline of the queen bee itself.

Because the other spirit bees in the bee colony are born of the queen bee, as long as the queen bee's own bloodline is optimized, the bloodline of the offspring it produces will naturally be stronger.

However, there is only one queen bee in the Zhou family's hive, and it is impossible for Zhou Chun to use that queen bee as an experiment, in case the test fails and the queen bee dies, the loss will be great.

Therefore, he can only breed a small colony first, breed a new queen bee, and then experiment with the new queen bee.

Before obtaining the inheritance of Qianlingmen, it would not be easy for the Zhou family to cultivate a new queen bee.

[In view of the general environment,

But for Zhou Chun, who has now obtained the inheritance of the Thousand Souls Gate, it is not too difficult to cultivate a new queen bee.

In a natural bee colony, after the queen bee dies unexpectedly, there will be worker bees among the other worker bees to take over and become the new queen bee.

At the same time, when the bee colony is dividing, the new queen bee also comes in this way.

[Jasper Spirit Bee] As a kind of demon bee, the birth of the queen bee is much more difficult than that of ordinary bees, but the process is still similar in general.

At this time, Zhou Chun fed a strong worker bee through a secret medicine made of royal jelly as the main material, supplemented by secret techniques to stimulate its growth.

It only took two months to cultivate a new queen bee.

However, this new queen bee can't be used for experiments, because after all, it was born by means, and its own quality is poor.

Its real effect on Zhou Chun is to add bricks to the new bee colony and expand the number of bee colonies.

When it has expanded the colony to a certain extent, Zhou Chun will kill it, and then let the colony automatically produce a new queen bee.

At that point, the new queen bee can be used for experiments.

When these insect breeding experiments were carried out, Zhou Chun also carried out negotiations and cooperation with other families at the same time.

Now that the Zhou family is in full swing and has a variety of special spiritual objects, most of the families have no objection to the cooperation plan proposed by the Zhou family as expected.

In just one year, the Zhou family signed a cooperation contract with twenty-five Xiuxian families, large and small, and in the future, the Zhou family's [Jasper Spirit Bee] group could collect flowers and make nectar in the mountain gate of these cooperative families, and then settle with spiritual nectar or spirit coins as a reward.

At the same time, as part of the cooperation, the Zhou family will give priority to these cooperative families to supply monster cubs such as octagonal sambar deer, dragon scale horse and other monster cubs.

Of course, these supply of monster cubs will only be males, and they will also be castrated.

The real breeding beast, it is impossible for everyone in the Zhou family to sell it.

The price of buying a breeding beast cannot be the price of an ordinary transportation mount.

Now, in addition to the Zhou family, only the Su family, who has just helped the Zhou family, has the octagonal water deer and dragon scale horse breeding beasts sent by the Zhou family, which were given as a dowry gift from Zhou Chun at that time.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it was another three years.

In the past three years, the Zhou family has undergone some changes.

There are several elderly monks of the "family" generation who have passed away, and there is also a monk of the Zhou family who failed to take the Zhuji Dan to build the foundation.

This monk who failed to build the foundation was Zhou Zhengtao, who was the same generation as Zhou Chun.

Zhou Zhengtao was also a member of the Zhou family who was quite prominent in the "Zheng" generation, and thanks to the rapid development of the Zhou family over the years, he has also accumulated a lot of family good deeds.

This time, after he had collected 5,000 points with the good deeds he borrowed, he exchanged it for a Tsukidan to take.

It's a pity that his luck is obviously not as good as Zhou Zhengyong, and in the end he failed to build the foundation.

As the second person in the Zhou family to take Zhuji Dan but failed after settling down in Jiufengling, Zhou Zhengtao's failure had a much smaller impact than Zhou Jiacheng's original time.

This is, of course, because the current Zhou family is not what it used to be, whether it is a monk in the Zifu period or a monk in the foundation building period, they are all successors.

In addition to Zhou Zhengtao's own frustration and discomfort, only those monks who lent him good deeds were affected.

After all, the person who can lend good deeds to him has a good relationship with him no matter what you say.

As the patriarch, Zhou Chun was very open to this matter, because he was also a person who failed once.

So he didn't have any opinion on Zhou Zhengtao, but just like Zhou Daoyi comforted Zhou Jiacheng at the beginning, he comforted Zhou Zhengtao very generously.

This approach made Zhou Zhengtao, who was quite jealous and dissatisfied with him before, feel ashamed in his heart, and since then he has been truly convinced.

However, in the past three years, the real biggest change in the Zhou family is still in Zhou Chun.

First of all, his spirit pet Golden Armor Rock Turtle successfully broke through to the second-order middle grade, allowing his own strength to increase again.

Later, the optimization experiment of [Jasper Spirit Bee] led by him also reached a critical moment.

At this time, the newly cultivated bee colony has reached thirty, and the second-generation queen bee has also been cultivated by him to a level that is not much worse than the queen bee in the current large bee colony.

Next, he can officially launch a bloodline optimization experiment on this second-generation queen bee.
