Although they decided to talk to Lu Ran about the cooperation between the two races, neither Zhou Mingde nor Zhou Chun was in a hurry to travel.

They have to dry Lu Ran first and put on a very cautious posture, so that they can gain a dominant position in the follow-up conversation and obtain more benefits.

Zhou Chun also went to the Zhou family's library at this time, preparing to find a record of the situation of the dragon grass and the dragon's lair.

At this time, the one guarding the library was still the Aoki spirit ape.

Many years have passed, and this Aoki spirit ape has also been promoted to a second-order high-grade demon beast under the nourishment of the abundant spiritual energy in the Zhoujia Mountain Gate.

It's just that the Zhou family is strong now, and its strength is actually not ranked in the Zhou family.

When Zhou Chun went to read a book, he called Mu Mei out to play with him by the way.

Speaking of which, among Zhou Chun's four-headed spirit pets, the Silver Lightning Thunder Python, the Golden Armor Rock Turtle, and the Golden-winged Tiger can all be played, and there is no barrier between them.

But Mu Mei doesn't know if he still remembers the hatred of the three who fought him in the past, or if he hates their breath, and he never wants to play with them.

There are many demon beasts in the mountain gate of Zhoujia, and only the old ape, Aoki Spirit Ape, can please it and is willing to play with it.

For this situation, Zhou Chun was also helpless, and he couldn't force anything.

These monster spirit pets are like teenagers, they are full of personality, and the owner can restrain them, but he can't make them change their personality.

Even if Zhou Chun forcibly locked them in a yard, they still couldn't play together if they couldn't play together, and there was a high probability that they would lie down with their eyes closed, and they would be out of sight.

Zhou Chun's request is that he can't play in peacetime, but in wartime, he must cooperate with each other, help each other take care of each other, and not drop the chain for himself.

Otherwise, he will definitely not be soft on how to deal with it.

After staying in the library building for a few hours, Zhou Chun put the unfinished Mu Mei into the spirit beast bag and left here.

When he returned to his residence, Zhou Chun thought about the focus of his future practice.

With his success in opening up the Purple Mansion, most of the Zhou family's family affairs were dumped by him to Zhou Jiarui, the "executive deputy patriarch", and only some more important things would be sent to his residence to look at him for confirmation.

This is also a special request from Zhou Mingde.

And Zhou Chun himself is not the kind of person who is greedy for power, so of course he will not refuse this.

In the past, he had to do everything himself, and that was because the Zhou family was really in a difficult situation at that time, and there was no room for mistakes.

But now the Zhou family can be described as strong and strong.

Even if someone with less ability is replaced to govern the family, it will not shake the foundation of the family.

What's more, after decades of governance by Zhou Chun and many reforms and consolidations, the management system of the Zhou family is now very mature.

As long as this management system is maintained, Zhou Chun occasionally allocates some time to check, which is enough to ensure that there are no major problems.

After this did not have to devote a lot of energy to dealing with clan affairs, Zhou Chun had a lot of time to devote to cultivating secret arts and spells.

In terms of spells, Zhou Chun felt that he was not talented, and he didn't want to spend too much energy on it, just to be able to get started and master it.

On the other hand, in terms of secret arts, he had tasted the sweetness many times, and his enthusiasm for cultivation in this area was quite high.

And after his cultivation reached the Purple Mansion Period, there were many more secret techniques for him to choose to cultivate.

At this time, Zhou Chun was also thinking about what kind of cultivation he should cultivate.

A person's energy is always limited, even if he doesn't have to deal with clan affairs, the extra energy after cultivation is only enough for him to cultivate two or three secret techniques.

After thinking about it like this for a long time, Zhou Chun made a decision in his heart.

He decided to first practice the two secret techniques recorded in the four articles of the "Golden Ding Xuangong", two secret techniques that he had coveted a long time ago.

These two secret techniques are "Golden Gang Slash" and "Concentric Golden Lock".

"Jin Gang Slash" is a domineering and powerful attack secret technique, somewhat similar to the "Xin Jin Sword Qi" that Zhou Chun had cultivated before, but it is many times more powerful.

This secret technique only has the power of one hit, but it can be used as a hole card to kill the bottom of the box.

Once the enemy is locked by the chain, he will fall into the dilemma of competing with Zhou Chun for mana, just like a martial arts master competing with his palms to compete for internal strength.

This move is very suitable for dealing with those enemies whose cultivation is comparable to Zhou Chun, or slightly higher than him.

When the two of them competed for mana, his spirit pet could take down the enemy by taking advantage of the situation.

Obviously, the two secret techniques that Zhou Chun chose were both focused on improving his own attacking ability.

And it was normal for him to make this choice.

After all, his spirit pets have not yet been promoted to the third order, and he can't help him a lot when he fights opponents in the same realm, so he can only improve his strength first.

In addition to these two secret techniques, in fact, Zhou Chun also has a secret technique that needs to be cultivated, that is, the "Flowing Light Golden Rainbow" secret technique that he has been practicing before.

The "Streamer Golden Rainbow" secret technique that Zhou Chun practiced before was only the first part of it, and the second part required the Purple Mansion period to cultivate.

Only by cultivating the upper and lower articles, can the secret technique of "Streamer Golden Rainbow" truly achieve the level of "a thousand miles of golden rainbow in a moment" as mentioned in the secret technique.

After making a choice at this time, Zhou Chun's time outside of daily cultivation was all focused on these three secret techniques.

In this way, half a year later, the Zhou family held a celebration within the clan for Zhou Chun to open up the Purple Mansion.

In fact, according to Zhou Mingde's meaning at the beginning, he wanted to do a big job, and he wanted to do it more grandly than Zhou Daoquan's time.

But Zhou Chun felt that he was more than 100 years old and opened the Purple Mansion, which was already a very showy thing.

If you do a lot of things and celebrate them in a big way, it will be a bit too much, but it is not beautiful.

After he said this, Zhou Mingde did not mention anything big, and only held celebrations in the clan to let the clansmen have a lively time.

After the celebration was over, Zhou Chuncai and Zhou Mingde went to Long Yuanze to negotiate with Lu Ran.

"The worries of the two Taoist friends, Lu thinks that there is no need at all."

"Although these warlocks of the Scaly Frog Clan are not as smart as the Terran cultivators, they also know what the status of the Scaly Frog Clan is in the Dragon Yuanze, even if they betray the Zhou family, they will not be able to enter the eyes of the Jiaolong Clan."

"As for the two Daoists who are worried about their excessive demands, there is no need to worry about this, if they are really greedy in the future, it will be self-defeating, with the current strength of the Zhou family, they are not able to match it at all!"

"And Ukuru is an orthodox Black Spear Tribal Warlock cultivated by Lu Mou, it knows very well how much benefit it can bring to the Scaly Frog Clan and the tribe by cooperating with the Zhou family, as long as it is still the Great Elder of the tribe, it will definitely not do anything to destroy the cooperation!"

In the Water Mansion, in the face of Zhou Mingde's concerns, Lu Ran was very unimpressed, and gave an answer on the spot without thinking.

But his answer is actually just his side.

The Zhou family had never dealt with those scaly frog alien warlocks, but they didn't know what kind of character those guys were.

His assurance, in fact, is not binding at all.

However, despite the facts, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun did not say it on the spot, but secretly communicated and discussed.

After discussing like this for a while, I heard Zhou Mingde say: "What Lu Daoyou said is not unreasonable, but my Zhou family has been able to develop steadily over the years because of its cautious actions. ”

"If you follow what Lu Daoyou said, of course there is no problem in continuing to maintain cooperation after Lu Daoyou's death, but we can only contact our Zhou family and the successor chosen by Lu Daoyou unilaterally, and Lu Daoyou must not let them know where my Zhou family's stronghold is, so as not to bring the disaster of extermination to my Zhou family!"

Only maintaining unilateral contact means that the Zhou family can cut off contact at any time if they don't want to contact each other anymore.

In this way, the initiative is on the Zhou family.

Of course, Lu Ran is clear about this.

So he just groaned slightly, and then quickly replied: "No problem, Lu can agree to this on their behalf." ”

"Then that's it, then I will ask Lu Daoyou to help me learn the language of the Scaly Frog Clan so that I can communicate normally with the successor you have chosen."

Zhou Mingde nodded and agreed.

"This is natural, Lu Mou will also tell Zhou Daoyou about the situation of the thousand-year-old dragon grass!"

Lu Ran said, and talked about the relevant situation.

According to Lu Ran, he once found a dragon's lair in an underwater forest somewhere in the waters outside Long Yuanze, and it was certain that a fourth-order dragon inhabited there.

And just outside the dragon's lair, he saw a lot of dragon grass growing that had reached the age of hundreds of years.

Therefore, he concluded that there must be a thousand-year-old dragon grass in the lair.

However, he couldn't be sure of the specific grade of the fourth-order black dragon, and he didn't know whether it was a fourth-order lower-grade Jiaolong or a fourth-order upper-grade Jiaolong.

After Zhou Chun heard this, when he asked him to take him to that neighborhood, he would step on it first.

Lu Ran did not refuse this, and immediately took Zhou Chun and Zhou Mingde to the location of the dragon's lair.

After following Lu Ran for nearly two days, Zhou Chun and the others dived into the water with him to a depth of six or seven hundred zhang.

I saw that under the deep water, giant aquatic plants like kelp are all over the bottom of the water, and they can grow up to hundreds of zhang, which is taller than many thousand-year-old trees on land.

The lair of the fourth-order dragon is located in the depths of this underwater forest.

"About a hundred miles further from here, there is a clearing where the water and grass are not so lush, and the dragon's nest is there."

Above the underwater forest, Lu Ran pointed in a direction and explained the location of the dragon's lair to Zhou Chun and the others.

They could only stop here, because if they got any closer, they might be discovered by the fourth-order dragons, and then they were afraid that no one would be able to escape.

At the beginning, Lu Ran was able to get out of it by luck, and it was also because the scale frog alien race belonged to the Long Yuanze Water Clan, and his cultivation was not a threat to the fourth-order dragon, so he didn't bother to make a move against him.

And Zhou Chun and Zhou Mingde are serious Terran monks, they dare to appear in the sight of the Long Yuan Ze Jiaolong clan, and they will definitely not be able to escape death.

So after listening to Lu Ran's words at this time, the two just took a deep look at the direction he was pointing, and then returned to the land together.

After that, Lu Ran returned to Lanzhou with Zhou Chun and the others, and he wanted to stay there for a while to teach Zhou Chun and the others to learn the language of the Scaly Frog Clan.

For the monks of the Purple Mansion Period, it was not difficult to learn a foreign language.

When it comes to learning ability, no matter how smart an ordinary person is, he is definitely not as good as a Purple Mansion monk.

Therefore, Zhou Chun and Zhou Mingde only studied with Lu Ran for almost a month, and they were completely able to communicate in the language of the scale frog clan.

After Zhou Chun learned the language of the Scaly Frog Clan, he followed Lu Ran to the Black Spear Tribe to meet and communicate with his designated heir, Ukuru, for the first time.

This scaly frog alien who is valued by Lu Ran looks quite different from an ordinary scaly frog alien warlock.

It is much stronger than ordinary frog people, standing up to a foot high, and the scales on its body are dark blue, which is very beautiful and mysterious.

"Hello Your Excellency Ukuru, it's the first time we met, and it's not a mere courtesy."

Inside the Water Mansion, after Zhou Chun looked at the scale frog clan warlock in front of him, who was different from ordinary people, he smiled slightly, took the initiative to say hello, and gave a special trident magic weapon made of cold iron.

This magic weapon was specially refined by Zhou Xintie, the best junior in the family, and its simple structure allowed the scaly frog alien warlock to activate the additional freezing effect as long as he injected mana.

This kind of simple magic weapon has always been a sought-after item in the interracial trade between the Zhou family and the scale frog.

After receiving the magic weapon, the Ukuru warlock on the opposite side immediately urged the magic weapon to test its power.

When it saw that the freezing effect released by the Trident Magic Weapon instantly caused the surrounding water vapor to condense into frost, its eyes instantly showed a look of joy and satisfaction.

But when Lu Ran saw it, his face immediately sank, and he said in an angry tone: "Ukuru can't be rude, have you forgotten the etiquette that the old man taught you?" ”

Hearing his words, the joy on that Ukuru's face suddenly froze, and his eyes immediately showed a look of panic and knelt down to the ground towards Lu Ran and pleaded: "The Great Elder forgives the sin, and the subordinates know that they are wrong." ”

Seeing this, Lu Ran immediately snorted coldly: "Hmph, what are you doing to ask the old man for sin?" You should make amends to Zhou Daoyou! ”

Hearing this, Na Ukuru hurriedly got up and bowed to Zhou Chun to apologize: "Zhou Daoyou forgive me, Ukuru was rude for a while, and I ask Daoyou to forgive me." ”

After finishing speaking, he groaned slightly, then took off a fist sea blue pearl worn around his neck and handed it to Zhou Chun: "There is nothing good to give to Zhou Daoyou in Ukuru, only this water bead is quite rare, please Zhou Daoyou must accept it." ”

This fist-sized sea-blue pearl is a second-order high-grade clam demon that has been conceived for thousands of years, and it contains extremely pure and rich water spiritual power.

Even without any refining, this thing can release a powerful spiritual power shield, which is definitely a rare treasure.

In terms of value, the cold iron trident sent by Zhou Chun can be said to be less than one-tenth of it.

Zhou Chun is naturally a person who knows the goods, seeing this situation, he doesn't care what Lu Ran thinks about this matter, even if he takes the orb in his hand.

Then he hurriedly pulled up the scale frog warlock Ukuru and said with a smile: "Your Excellency Ukuru's gift Zhou likes it very much, and Zhou also likes to deal with straightforward people like you, Your Excellency doesn't have to be so formal in the future." ”

When the scale frog warlock Ukuru heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Zhou Daoyou's gift Ukuru also likes it, and I hope that the friendship between the two clans in the future will be as indestructible as these two treasures and will last forever!" ”

Today people are uncomfortable, headaches, only one more!
