Jiufeng Ridge.

After Zhou Chun returned to Yasukuni, he naturally returned to this Zhoujiashan Gate station first.

It's just that the various news he learned after coming back made his good mood after returning from a long trip dissipated, and the whole person frowned.

According to Zhou Jiarui, Zhou Mingde and others, the Heavenly Spirit Alliance and the Heavenly Spirit Legion were actually established as early as three years ago.

That is to say, at that time at the latest, the countries of the Heavenly Spirit and Earth Realm had already reached a consensus, believing that the Heavenly Spirit and Earth Realm had encountered an invasion of the Yuan Demon Earth Realm, so they would respond like this.

But Zhou Mingde and others did not send anyone to inform him of the news and let him come back to preside over the overall situation.

Of course, he also understood the thoughts of Zhou Mingde and others.

If the war between the Yuan Demon Realm and the Heavenly Spirit Realm breaks out, there will not be many people in Zhou Chun, and there will be a lot of people in him, and if he is left outside, maybe he can save a strength for the Zhou family.

Again, the war involving the two major immortal cultivation realms is bound to be a protracted war, even if it lasts for decades, it is not unusual.

In the current situation where the intensity of the war is not great, there is really no need for the Zhou family to disturb his cultivation of this golden pill seed.

So since things have developed to such a point, it is impossible for Zhou Chun to blame these elders who are bent on thinking about themselves.

The thing that made Zhou Chun's brows really frown was still the intruder of the Yuan Demon Realm.

With the war between the two major immortal cultivation realms almost on the line, a lot of news about the Yuan Demon Realm has also been released intentionally or unintentionally.

According to the news collected by the Zhou family now, the Yuan Demon Realm should be a vast Immortal Cultivation Realm.

In terms of overall strength, they must be much stronger than the Heavenly Spirit Realm.

Now there are as many as five large forces that have appeared in Fengguo alone, namely the Corpse Demon Sect, the Blood Bone Gate, the Lost Love Valley, the Yin Ghost Gate, and the Beast Demon Palace.

Each of these five forces is no worse than the Yuelun Sect, the largest force in Yasukuni, or even stronger.

The disciples of the five forces are generally stronger than the cultivators of the Immortal Cultivation Family and the same level of the small and medium-sized sects, and even the disciples of the Qinglian Sect, which are slightly worse, are not as good as them.

And because they rarely fought with these Yuan Demon Earth Realm cultivators, the Heavenly Spirit Earth Realm cultivators didn't know enough about their various weird methods, and sometimes they might fall into the Tao if they didn't pay attention.

Prior to this, in the conflict that broke out between the two sides, the losses of the Heavenly Spirit and Earth Realm cultivators were generally greater than those of the other party, which can be described as both losing face and losing their heart.

However, this does not mean that the Heavenly Spirit Realm will lose.

Because the Yuan Demon Realm and the Heavenly Spirit Realm are separated by a long Absolute Desert, it is not easy for the soldiers, horses, grains and grass to come over.

Second, even if the Heavenly Spirit Earth Realm can't defeat the invaders of the Yuan Demon Earth Realm, you can still call for foreign help.

For example, the monks of the Great Zhou Kingdom, the Yang Kingdom and other geographical boundaries.

You must know that the countries of the Great Zhou Kingdom and the Yang Kingdom are not isolated from the countries of the Heavenly Spirit Realm such as the Absolute Spirit Desert.

If they let the Heavenly Spirit Earth Realm be invaded by the Yuan Demon Land Realm, and let those Demon Dao Sects grow stronger and gain a base, it would be to raise tigers for trouble.

Moreover, once the countries of the Heavenly Spirit and Earth Realm find that there is no foreign aid and are defeated by the Yuan Demon Realm, they will definitely choose to abandon their own countries and migrate to other countries.

At that time, those countries that don't help will first have to fight with these migrating Heavenly Spirit Realm monks, which is equivalent to falling into a war.

But there is a good saying, a grain of sand in the times is heavier than a mountain on ordinary people!

The war between the two immortal cultivation realms, even if they can't tell the winner for a while, will definitely kill many monks.

An immortal cultivator like the Zhou family, in this kind of war, is that ordinary person.

Any small change in the war may destroy their families and their families!

Zhou Chun, as the patriarch of the Zhou family, can't ignore this!

"Before the junior came back, he also thought that there might be a war in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, so he specially purchased a lot of pills and magic talismans to bring back, and then while the intensity of the war was not high, I would first distribute these things to the clansmen to exchange!"

"In addition, the juniors have already gathered enough [Huanglong Stones], and you still need Elder Taishang to go to the You family, ask Elder You to come over and improve the [Nine Palace Yellow Dragon Great Array], and then move all the important members of the family to Tuyunling to practice, so as to avoid being killed in case of a crisis!"

"As for the three elders who have already joined the army on the Fengguo side, after a while, the juniors will personally send some things that they can use, and they can't let them contribute to the family in vain!"

After some contemplation, Zhou Chun looked at Zhou Mingde and Zhou Jiarui, who were waiting silently in the hall, and said his own arrangements in a deep voice.

Hearing his words, Zhou Mingde was also overjoyed, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Good boy, you really haven't been out for so long this trip in vain, and you have gathered so many [Huanglongshi] so quickly!" ”

Saying that, he nodded again and again: "Don't worry, this matter will be handed over to the old man, and the old man will go to You's house to invite the old man to Tuyunling to improve the big array, thinking that he himself also very much wants to personally arrange the complete [Nine Palace Yellow Dragon Great Array] before entering the earth!" ”

"Then there is Elder Laotai."

Zhou Chun made a salute, and after seeing Zhou Mingde leave, he took out some of the pills and magic talismans in the storage bag and handed them to Zhou Jiarui, asking him to fill the family treasury and notify the clansmen everywhere to come and exchange them.

Then Zhou Chun began to carefully check the various files in the Zhongping Hall in the past ten years, and learned in detail about the changes of the Zhou family in the past ten years.

In more than ten years, the Zhou family has naturally changed very much.

In particular, during this period, the Zhou family first harvested thirty-two "Zhuyuan Fruits", and then obtained twenty-five "Zhuji Dan".

Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi are also courageous people.

After hearing that the Yuan Demon Land Realm might invade the Heavenly Spirit Earth Realm, after Lin Hongyu brought back twenty-five "Tsukidans", they secretly arranged for those monks who had exchanged for "Tsukidans" to go to the wilderness to build a foundation and temporarily hide there for penance.

So on the bright side, the Zhou family has only had three more monks who have successfully built the foundation in the past twelve years, but in fact, there are as many as seven more monks who have built the foundation!

These seven people are Zhou Xinyi, Zhou Xinheng, Zhou Xintong, Zhou Xinchen, Zhou Sizhen, Zhou Siyu, and Zhou Simiao.

In this way, the number of foundation building monks in the Zhou family alone has reached seventeen!

And in the wilderness, there is also a dead servant Liu Heng cultivated by the Zhou family, who successfully built a foundation by exchanging "Zhuyuan Fruit".

Therefore, if Lin Wan'er, Xu Fu, and Liu Heng are also counted, the number of foundation building monks that the Zhou family can drive is as many as twenty!

If you count Zhou Xinhe and Zhou Xinjian, who worshiped the Qinglian Temple, it is twenty-two.

In addition, the Zhou family now has an additional relative monk who cultivated during the foundation building period, and that is Zhang Liang, who was left in the Zhou family by Zhou Chun before.

This person somehow won the favor of Zhou Xindie, the foundation building nun of the Zhou family, married him as a Taoist couple, and made him stay in the Zhou family completely.

Originally, this matter was also approved by the patriarch Zhou Chun, but because he was in the Great Zhou Kingdom at the time, Zhou Mingde made the decision to approve it.

At the same time, those Zhou family monks of the older generation have also improved their cultivation now.

Zhou Daoyi broke through to the middle of the Purple Mansion two years ago, Zhou Jiarui cultivated to the late stage of foundation building, and Zhou Zhengyong, Zhou Xinyan, Zhou Xinlan and others all broke through to the middle stage of foundation building.

However, the most powerful is Xu Fu, this person is worthy of the top-grade spiritual root qualification, and at this time, he is already in the late stage of foundation building.

In addition, four years ago, the Zhou family ushered in a high-grade spiritual root gold and water dual-attribute qualification clan, a girl named Zhou Yuanyuan, who is a monk of the "source" generation.

At this time, the number of monks registered in the Zhou family has reached four hundred and thirteen, and there are sixty-nine monks from other relatives!

And there are as many as seventy-eight dead servants and monks on the other side of the wilderness!

That's it, not counting the powerful demon beast spirit pets of the Zhou family.

And all this data can only be seen by the most core people of the Zhou family, and even some elders in the foundation building period don't know.

There is no doubt that this is a force that can shock many people when it is said.

If the Zhou family played the signboard of Lin Hongyu at this time, with this power, a Jindan family would be established in an instant!

"It turns out that unconsciously, the Zhou family has developed to this point?"

Zhou Chun looked at the various family data, muttered to himself with a blank expression, and his mood was much better.

Looking back on the past, when he first settled in Jiufengling, there were not even a hundred people in the whole clan, except for Zhou Mingde, who was cultivated in the early stage of the Purple Mansion, he was quite good, and the total number of foundation building monks in the whole clan was only four.

Now only a hundred or so years have passed, and the Zhou family has increased several times from top to bottom, both in terms of the number of monks and the number of monks in various realms, even if it is not inferior to half a point before the separation.

This kind of change is estimated not only that Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi did not dare to think about it when they first separated, but even Zhou Chun himself did not dare to think like this at the beginning.

But when you think about it, it all seems so logical.

Again and again, coupled with the unity of the whole family, after more than 100 years of brewing and sublimation, it is not surprising that there is such a rich harvest.

It's just that in this way, this war between the two immortal cultivation worlds, the Zhou family has to be even more cautious.

We can't let this war collapse the Zhou family, which has been revitalized with great difficulty.

It's like the Wang family of the Red Medicine Valley, everything was originally developed and stable, but because of a war with the Dragon Sect, the family was directly hit hard, and now it has fallen out of the ranks of the immortal cultivation clan, relying on the good fate formed in the past to keep the family mountain gate from losing.

Such examples can be said to abound, and Zhou Chun has seen many of them in the past hundred years.

In the next half a month, Zhou Chun first sent the Golden Armor Negative Mountain Turtle Stone and Mu Mei back to Tuyunling to practice, and then met with those newly built family monks one by one to give encouragement and reward.

Then he was very busy receiving the important members of the family who came to visit after hearing the news.

After being busy like this for nearly two months, he had time to deal with some personal matters.

First of all, of course, I went to the Su family in Jiangzhou to visit the Taoist couple Su Yuzhen, and went to meet the aunt Su Yunniang, who was successful, and sent a congratulatory gift of sufficient weight.

This round of relatives, whether it is the ancestor of the Su family or Su Yunniang, is also a little surprised that Zhou Chunxiu broke through to the middle of the Purple Mansion so quickly.

Then naturally, the mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, and the more she watched, the more satisfied she became.

After all, the higher Zhou Chun's cultivation, the less likely it is to drag Su Yuzhen back.

It's just that the two didn't think that Zhou Chun would be able to succeed in marrying Dan.

After all, Zhou Chun, whether in terms of spiritual root qualifications or family heritage, does not have any advantages in terms of knotting.

But as long as Zhou Chun can cultivate to the late stage of the Purple Mansion, in their eyes, he is barely worthy of Su Yuzhen, and he will not fall into the name of their Su family.

Zhou Chun also didn't want to expose the true essence of the Zhou family before he succeeded in marrying Dan, so he was also worthy of performing well and would not go too far.

And because he still had a lot of things to do, he only accompanied the Taoist couple in the Su family in Jiangzhou for less than half a month, and then returned to the family.

After coming back this time, Zhou Chun went directly to the wilderness.

In view of the disaster that happened in the wilderness last time, this time Zhou Chun has been putting Lei Jiao in the spirit beast bag for nothing, and he just walked against the water by himself.

After arriving at the wilderness with a lot of effort, he first went to the base of Caiyu Mountain to visit Lin Hongyu.

"In your opinion, Elder Lin Wan'er, how likely is it that Elder Lin Wan'er will succeed in opening up the Purple Mansion this time?"

In the Jade Mining Cave Mansion, after Zhou Chun greeted politely, he directly asked Lin Hongyu about Lin Wan'er's retreat.

Previously, Lin Hongyu went to the Great Zhou Kingdom to find assistance in opening up the Purple Mansion spiritual object for this righteous girl, but she also found the same good spiritual object.

And after some adjustments, Lin Wan'er went to Caiyu Mountain to retreat a year ago.

Listening to his words at this time, Lin Hongyu also shook her head slightly unsure and said: "It's not good to say this matter, although Wan'er is fully prepared, it is not easy to open up the Purple Mansion, and it can only depend on her own creation!" ”

When Zhou Chun heard this, he could only be silent.

When he opened the Purple Mansion, because of his own special reasons, everything was smooth and not too difficult.

But he also knew that other people's opening up of the Purple Mansion was definitely not as smooth as his own.

Lin Wan'er is a failure, and that's normal.

After being silent like this for a while, Zhou Chun quickly sorted out his mood, looked at Lin Hongyu again and said, "Now that the Yuan Demon Earth Realm has invaded the Heavenly Spirit Earth Realm, Elder Lin, you should also know about it, the juniors have found enough [Yellow Dragon Stones] from the Great Zhou Kingdom this time, and the [Nine Palace Yellow Dragon Great Array] of Tuyun Ridge will soon be able to fully exert the power of the forbidden Great Array. ”

"Therefore, after the junior and the Supreme Elder discussed it, they want to wait for the successful arrangement of the large array, and then invite Elder Lin to go to Tuyunling to sit in the town, I don't know what Elder Lin thinks?"

Hearing his words, Lin Hongyu was silent for a while, revealing a look of thought.

Of course she understood what Zhou Chun meant.

Once the war between the two immortal cultivation realms enters a stalemate, there will definitely be attacks and sabotage behind enemy lines.

Especially in the Yuan Demon Realm, they came from afar and belonged to the invaders, so they wouldn't mind even if they shattered the Heavenly Spirit Countries.

When the time comes, monks will definitely be sent to find ways to bypass the frontal line of defense and wreak havoc behind enemy lines.

If this kind of thing happens, the Zhou family, which is now considered a famous family in Yasukuni, will definitely become a target.

However, Zhou Jiaming did not have a Jindan monk on his face.

Such an "undeserved" immortal cultivation family can hardly guarantee that it will not be regarded as a "chicken" by those demon cultivators to kill chickens and set an example for monkeys.

"There's no problem for me to go to Tuyunling, but aren't you afraid that when the time comes, I will make a move and cause trouble for the Zhou family?"

After thinking about it for a long time, Lin Hongyu still expressed her worries.

The reason why she was asked to come to the Yushan stronghold was because the Zhou family was worried that her identity would be exposed and cause disaster.

Now let her go to Tuyunling to sit in town, this matter is still unavoidable.

"At this time, at that time, now that the Yuan Demon Earth Realm has invaded the Heavenly Spirit Earth Realm, the two major immortal cultivation realms will start a huge war, in this kind of war, if a Jindan stage monk like Elder Lin is willing to help the Heavenly Spirit Earth Realm, he will be happy to accept it if he wants to come to Qinglian Temple."

"And if it really comes to Elder Lin, when you make a move, it must be when my Zhou family suffers a catastrophe, and at that time, everything should be focused on surviving the catastrophe, how can you take care of the rest of the matter!"

Zhou Chun couldn't help but smile wryly when he said the back.

If he had a choice, of course he didn't want Lin Hongyu to be exposed so soon.

It's a pity that everything in the world can't always be so satisfactory.

Now the situation is complicated, if Lin Hongyu still stays in the wilderness, she may not have time to support when the Zhou family is really in danger.

So even if he has to take some risks, he can only take the lesser of two powers.

"Okay, then after Wan'er gets out of the customs, I'll go to Tuyunling to sit down."

Lin Hongyu nodded, and finally agreed to the matter.

"Elder generosity, the junior represents the Zhou family, and I have thanked the elder in advance!"

Zhou Chun's face was overjoyed, and he immediately bowed to Lin Hongyu and expressed his gratitude.

Then the two talked about some things, and Zhou Chun took the initiative to leave.

And after coming out of Lin Hongyu's Cave Mansion, Zhou Chun called Xu Fu, a powerful general, to his side.

"I've been away from the family all these years, but I haven't been able to fulfill what I promised you in time, do you have any complaints in your heart?"

At the top of a certain mountain peak, Zhou Chun stood on the mountain, looking down at the monks who were doing their own things in the stronghold below with his hands behind his back, and asked in a surging tone.

A foot behind him, Xu Fu, who was already middle-aged in appearance, heard him say this, and hurriedly bowed his head and said, "My subordinates don't dare." ”

"Just don't dare, not nothing, right?"

Zhou Chun asked again.

These words frightened Xu Fu's complexion, and he hurriedly knelt on his knees and said in a deep voice: "Absolutely not, from beginning to end, my subordinates have never complained to the patriarch in my heart, if my subordinates lie at all, it will be called ......."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Chun raising his hand: "Okay, you don't have to swear." ”

Then I saw Zhou Chun turn around, look at him with deep eyes and said: "Actually, you have some complaints, which is normal, after all, the contributions you have made to the Zhou family over the years are beyond the reach of many children of the Zhou family, but you have been bound to this wild place, and you have not really enjoyed the treatment and freedom you deserve!" ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Chun's tone changed abruptly, and he said sternly: "But Xu Fu, you also remember that you can have today's cultivation, in addition to your own outstanding qualifications and hard work, it is also because you have been stained with the light of our Zhou family and taken care of by our Zhou family." ”

"Otherwise, not to mention the fact that this seat helped you dissolve the turbid qi in your body at the beginning, it is that you yourself are a loose cultivator, wandering alone in a foreign residence with no fixed place, and you don't even have a fixed place to cultivate, how can you achieve this cultivation in less than a hundred years!"

When these words came out of Zhou Chun's mouth, they naturally carried a breathtaking power, which people did not dare to ignore.

It was the majestic and murderous aura that he had cultivated from being in a high position all year round and having fought for a long time.

Even if it is a person like Xu Fu who has also experienced countless lives and deaths, being rushed by his momentum at this time, it is also chilling from the heart, shocked and afraid.

Hurriedly lowered his head and whispered: "Yes, the subordinates remember, the subordinates must remember the patriarch's precepts, and never dare to do anything to forget their roots!" ”

Facing Zhou Chun, he was really in awe from the bottom of his heart.

Because since he was still an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, he had witnessed the scene of Zhou Chun's might, and then he watched Zhou Chun's cultivation step by step, showing all kinds of means.

In his heart, he may not have taken Zhou Zhengyong, Zhou Xinlan and other children of the Zhou family in his eyes, thinking that these people are just luckier than himself, born in the Zhou family, but in fact, their ability is not as good as his own at all.

But for Zhou Chun, all he has is full of awe.

"Get up, I called you over today, not just to beat you, but also to fulfill the promise I made to you and take you back to the Yasukuni Immortal Cultivation Realm!"

Zhou Chun said, and personally reached out to help Xu Fu on the ground.

This made Xu Fu also surprised and happy in his heart, and he hurriedly saluted with a flattered look: "My subordinates are terrified, and my subordinates thank you for the love of the patriarch!" ”

Zhou Chun patted him lightly on the shoulder and said, "Regarding the matter here, you will explain to that Liu Heng first, and when you come back after going out to do things, I will take you back to Lanzhou." ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand."

Xu Fu nodded heavily with a look of surprise, and his tone revealed an unprecedented lightness.

And Zhou Chun smiled and left the stronghold of Caiyushan.

Half a day later, Zhou Chun's figure appeared in the ice cave.

Hey!

As soon as he entered the ice cave, Zhou Chun couldn't help but let out a startled sound.

When he came in, he found that the queen bee of the "Frost Bee" had laid eggs again.

This time, the queen bee laid eighteen eggs, all of which were frozen in the thousand-year-old cold jade and had never hatched.

This was the order he had given to the queen bee, but after laying eggs, they were not allowed to hatch immediately, and they had to wait until he came and had his permission before they could hatch.

And he gave this order, naturally to facilitate his contract with these strange insects.

At this time, looking at those bee eggs, he also clapped his hands happily and applauded: "Yes, yes, it seems that the reproduction of these ancient strange insects is not as difficult as the classics say, it has only been decades, and it will soon lay eggs again?" ”

Although there are a few eggs laid this time, it is just that.

Immediately, Zhou Chun first put the "Heavenly Frost Cold Bees" in the spirit beast bag back into the hive to rest, and then contracted all those bee eggs on the spot.

As a result, the number of this group of "Heavenly Frost Cold Bees" has reached two hundred and twelve, and the number of mature demon bees has also reached twenty!

Next, Zhou Chun did the same again, took ten mature "Heavenly Frost Cold Bees" from the bee colony and put them into the spirit beast bag, fed the queen bee some ice attribute pills to replenish vitality, and left the ice cave.

Speaking of which, these "Heavenly Frost Bees" are definitely the most worry-free pets he raises, never let him worry about the slightest, and can help him at some critical moments.

Two days later, Zhou Chun took Xu Fu back to the Zhoujia Mountain Gate of Jiufengling, and then officially announced the appointment of the honorary elder of the Xu Fu family.

In the external claim, Xu Fu is a casual cultivator from a foreign country like Zhang Liang, and joined the Zhou family because Zhou Chun saved his life.

After temporarily placing Xu Fu in Jiufeng Ridge in this way, Zhou Chun went to Tuyun Ridge to check the upgrade of the [Nine Palace Yellow Dragon Great Array].

When he arrived at Tuyun Ridge, Zhou Chun learned that Master You of the You family had come to Tuyun Ridge and obtained the [Yellow Dragon Stone], and he had retreated on Tuyun Ridge to refine the array plate, and it was estimated that it would take some time to succeed.

So he could only go to his cave once.

Inside the cave, the stone has escaped into the ground with the technique of earth escape, burying himself in the ground of Tuyun Ridge to absorb the earth's vein aura and practice.

It will be a hole card of Zhou Chun, and it is here to regulate and sort out the leylines, and in the future, the actual power of the [Nine Palace Yellow Dragon Great Array] will definitely be stronger than what Master You said.

And Mu Mei continues to plant trees.

After more than ten years passed, the purple mulberry tree that sprouted from the roots of the "Ten Thousand Years Purple Mulberry Tree" tree had indeed successfully grown into a second-order spirit tree.

It is said that this tree also produced mulberry fruit once the year before last, and was taken by Zhou Mingde to reward some outstanding descendants in the clan to eat, and the response was also very good.

The mulberry fruit of the purple mulberry wood is not only delicious, but for the cultivators of the Qi refining period, it is also an excellent spiritual object for gaining cultivation, and it is even better to assist in rushing through the level.

After Zhou Chun visited the two spirit pets, he discussed with Zhou Mingde, who was sitting here, and took the stones with him and went to Fengguo alone.

He wants to go to the front line to send some life-saving things to Zhou Daoquan and them, and if he has the opportunity, he also wants to see the methods of those demon monks, so that he can have a bottom in his heart.
