The return of Zhou Daoyi and others has made the Zhou family much more generous in terms of manpower.

Zhou Chun asked Zhou Zhengyong, who had just opened up the Purple Mansion, to sit in Jiufengling, and asked Lin Wan'er to go to the wilderness to collect the Jade Mountain stronghold.

Zhou Daoyi was led by the Zhou family, and together with the monks of Tianjing Villa and other forces, he formed a joint demon eradication team, which was responsible for cleaning up the remaining demon cultivators in Lingzhou and Lanzhou.

Because the Zhou family is willing to subsidize spirit coins to the members of this joint demon extermination team, plus the demon cultivators can also exchange rewards to the alliance, there are still some monks who are willing to join the joint demon slaying team to serve.

At this time, the Yasukuni Immortal Cultivation Realm has generally resumed normal operation.

Except for the fact that a large number of monks were killed and wounded and fled due to the war, and some of them seemed to be in disarray, the production operations were not much different from those before the war.

One by one, the Xiuxian families have begun to recover and rebuild after the war, and commerce and trade are slowly resuming.

However, because the population of immortal cultivators has lost too much, if they want to return to the pre-war level, they are afraid that it will take tens or hundreds of years.

One of the things that Zhou Chun has had a headache recently is that there are many families who come to propose marriage and marry daughters.

Now the momentum of the Zhou family, as long as you have a little eyesight, you can see it.

Therefore, many families want to take advantage of the fact that he Zhou Chun has not yet succeeded in marrying Dan, and first form an in-law relationship with the Zhou family, so that if they want to ask the Zhou family for help in the future, they will also have a ready-made way.

Zhou Chun is not against this kind of in-law.

But although the Zhou family is no longer overstretched now, it is not enough to marry women generously.

Whether it is him, or Zhou Mingde and others, they are more inclined to digest each other among male and female monks within the family.

A big family like the Zhou family has a bloodline that has been passed down for an unknown number of generations, the number of secular mortals is hundreds of thousands, and there is a relatively complete genealogy for inquiry.

It is not uncommon for people with the same surname to marry each other and become Taoist couples, nor is it impossible to do it.

Of course, because they are all people with the same surname, they have been called brothers and sisters in the school since they were children, and sometimes the love between men and women is more difficult to produce.

This makes internal digestion difficult.

After all, the twisted melon is not sweet, and if there is no emotion, Zhou Chun, as the patriarch, can't mess with mandarin ducks.

On the other hand, those families who want to marry the Zhou family must have persuaded the female cultivators in the family in advance.

For them, as long as the Zhou family is willing to arrange for the monks to accept them, they can directly marry them.

And for some ordinary clansmen of the Zhou family, if they can marry a female cultivator cultivated by the immortal family as a Taoist couple, it seems to be a good choice.

As long as the female cultivator's appearance and figure are not bad, their personality or something can actually be ignored for them.

After all, the Zhou family is a strong party, and those female cultivators from small families marry in, no matter how bad their original personality is, they have to be a good wife and mother.

Otherwise, they themselves can tolerate those shrews and wicked women, and the clan rules of the Zhou family need not tolerate!

In short, Zhou Chun had too many things to do, and in the end he had no choice but to hold a recruitment conference every three years.

At that time, as long as the women of the Zhou family have the idea of marrying or recruiting a son-in-law, they can sign up for the recruitment conference.

And if you want to ask to marry a woman from the Zhou family and join the monks of the Zhou family, you can prepare gifts in advance to sign up for the recruitment conference.

Then they can attract the attention of the female cultivators of the Zhou family by offering treasures and showing their talents, and see if they can make the beauty fall in love.

In fact, this is also a common method used by many Jindan families.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, another two years had passed.

On this day, Zhou Chun suddenly received the bad news from Zhou Zhengyong on the Jiufeng Ridge.

After taking the Aoki Ape Demon Pill, the Aoki Spirit Ape finally failed to successfully break through and evolve with the power of this Demon Pill.

However, its luck is good, it was not supported by the huge demon pill power because of the failure of the breakthrough, but because of the failure of the forced breakthrough, it suffered some internal injuries, and it may need to recuperate for a few years to recover.

"Did it fail? It seems that the demon beast broke through the third order, and it was really not so easy! ”

Zhou Chun looked at the urgent news in his hand, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly and sigh.

In fact, it was far more difficult for a second-order demon beast to be promoted to the third order than for a foundation building monk to open up the Purple Mansion.

Otherwise, Zhou Daoquan would not have a third-order demon beast spirit pet until now, and Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi would not only focus on cultivating a spirit pet, and would not cultivate more spirit pets like him.

He Zhou Chun was able to cultivate several spirit pets to the third order, mainly because he took the right route and got a suitable spirit object, plus the roots of his own spirit pets were very good.

And taking a third-order demon beast demon pill like Aoki Spirit Ape to forcibly break through is purely a risky fight, and there is no way to do it.

The failure rate is naturally much higher than the success rate!

But no matter what, since then, Zhou Chun and the Zhou family don't owe Aoki Lingape, the patriarch of the family, anything for his merits.

After all, the value of a third-order low-grade demon pill was only a little worse than a spiritual object that assisted in opening up the Purple Mansion.

Next, Zhou Chun still went to visit the Aoki Spirit Ape in person, and asked Mu Mei to stay in Jiufeng Ridge to help it recuperate, which can be regarded as thanking it for taking care of him back then.

And just when he stopped by to visit Luo Qingni, who was cultivating here, he saw that the other party suddenly looked at him and asked, "Zhou Daoyou, the Danfang Qingni of the [Holy Spirit Blood Pill] has been studied alchemically, do you want to open the furnace for alchemy now?" ”

"Oh, is it okay so soon?"

Zhou Chun's eyes condensed slightly, and he looked at Luo Qingni with some surprise.

He still remembered the Dan Fang of the [Dragon Spirit Pill], but the other party had studied it for a long time before he dared to open the furnace to refine.

And even if you have studied it for so long, the refining power is not high at the beginning.

"The [Holy Spirit Blood Pill]'s recipe is actually not particularly complicated, it's just that the refining materials are very rare and rare, and Qingni's alchemy skills over the years have also improved."

seemed to understand the meaning in Zhou Chun's eyes, and Luo Qingni immediately explained the details more.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun hurriedly said: "Luo Daoyou misunderstood, Zhou didn't mean to distrust you, it's just that the [Holy Spirit Blood Pill] is extremely important to my Zhou family, and there is only one material, Zhou still hopes that Daoyou can do it when the grasp reaches the maximum!" ”

Hearing what he said, Luo Qingni didn't argue with him anymore, just nodded lightly and said, "It's okay, since Zhou Daoyou is not in a hurry, then wait for Zhou Daoyou to take that thing, and Qingni will start refining it!" ”

"Yes, that's for the best!"

Zhou Chun nodded again and again, agreeing with her words.

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.

A good alchemy furnace is more precious to an alchemist than any magic weapon.

And the magic weapon-level alchemy furnace can give the alchemist great help in the alchemy process, both in terms of the success rate of alchemy and the quality of the alchemy.

"In one year at most, Zhou will be able to leave for Da Zhou with Luo Daoyou!"

Before leaving Jiufengling, Zhou Chun also gave Luo Qingni an exact and definite travel date.

In the following year, Zhou Chun began to prepare for going to the Great Zhou Kingdom in addition to cultivation.

Although he expected that it might not take too long for him to get married, if it was fast, three or five years would be enough.

But not afraid of 10,000, just in case.

In case he couldn't return to the clan so quickly, some of the things that should be arranged still had to be arranged in advance.

More than seven months later, during a meditation and cultivation, Zhou Chun found that he could no longer refine a piece of heaven and earth aura and turn it into his own mana.

The mana accumulation in his dantian has reached his personal limit, and it is difficult to advance by any inch!

At this time, apart from condensing the golden pill, he could no longer improve his mana cultivation by cultivating.

"Have you finally reached the limit of your mana?"

Zhou Chun looked at himself and looked at the golden lake of mana in the dantian, and his mood was slightly excited.

On his fingers, his lifespan has passed two hundred, and he should be two hundred and four years old this year.

It's been one hundred and seventy-eight years since I came into this world!

Now it's finally come to this.

Once you form a golden pill, you will be able to live for a thousand years, master the great supernatural powers, and completely enter the upper echelons of the immortal cultivation world, becoming a high-level monk in the true sense.

If he is a loose cultivator, after forming a golden pill, as long as he pays attention not to provoke those major sects, he can basically get away with it for a thousand years.

As a family monk, once he forms a Jindan, the Zhou family will immediately be promoted to the Jindan family, and if he does not die in the future, the family's status will not fade for a day.

Even for most of the Great Gate Sect cultivators in this realm, the Golden Pill Stage was the final end of their path in this life!

Hua Dan married a baby, that was something that many monks of the Jindan period of the Great Gate Sect did not dare to think about.

Because only when they reach their realm do they know how difficult this step is.

One of the simplest examples.

No matter how poor the qualifications of a Qi Refining Period cultivator are, theoretically speaking, as long as he never gives up his cultivation and has enough time to practice, he can basically cultivate to the twelfth layer of the Qi Refining Period, and he has the qualification to impact the foundation.

But among the Jindan stage cultivators, five or six out of ten could not cultivate to the late Jindan stage!

There are only a few monks left who can cultivate to the late stage of Jindan, and those who are finally qualified to move towards the step of turning into a pill and marrying a baby, or even not one!

In fact, unless they were peerless in talent or had a great opportunity, it was impossible for the vast majority of Jindan stage cultivators outside the Great Gate Sect to cultivate to the late Jindan stage.

In this case, the Jindan stage realm is really the biggest goal in the hearts of more than ninety percent of the cultivators in the immortal cultivation realm.

"With my preparation, it is not difficult to get married, but after the marriage, with the situation of the Zhou family, I am destined to be unable to help me anymore, so if I want to stop at the Jindan period, I must have a great opportunity!"

"It just so happens that there is such an opportunity in front of me now, I must cherish this opportunity, do a big job, and make a lot of money!"

Zhou Chun opened his eyes, the light in his eyes flashed, and he had already made up his mind.

A few days later, Zhou Chun quietly went to a wild place, and took most of the adult and almost all mature "Heavenly Frost Cold Bees" with him.

As a famous strange insect on the "Heaven and Earth Strange Insect List", once the number of "Heavenly Frost Cold Bees" reaches a certain level, it will still pose a great threat to the Jindan period monks.

Zhou Chun has been raising this group of "Heavenly Frost Cold Bees" for nearly a hundred years, and the number of bee colonies has now reached more than 300, nearly double that of when he first subdued the bee colony.

Among them, the number of demon bees that have entered the mature stage has reached thirty-eight, more than one-tenth.

Generally speaking, during the peak period of the bee colony, the number of demon bees in the mature period will not exceed one-third of the population, unless it encounters an environment that is particularly suitable for the growth of the population.

The habitat created by Zhou Chun for these demon bees is very good, not only the cold environment is up to standard, but there are also abundant food resources around.

In addition, he also feeds some spiritual things that are beneficial to the growth of the bee colony from time to time, so that the number of mature demon bees in the bee colony will exceed 30% in the future, which should not be a problem.

At this time, he took away most of the adult and almost all mature demon bees at one time, which will have a huge impact on the growth of the bee colony.

Therefore, when leaving, Zhou Chun specially explained to the Zhou family foundation monks in the stronghold of Longxing Valley, asking them to come over and put frozen demon beast meat into this cave every month in the future, so that those remaining adult demon bees can come directly with the growing demon bees to carry food, and there is no need to venture out to hunt.

After returning to Tuyunling, Zhou Chun went to visit Lin Hongyu again, took the magic weapon [Soil King Kong Cover] back from his hand, and brought it with him.

If he really succeeded in forming a pill in the secret island, Zhou Chun would definitely not have time to refine the natal magic weapon, then the blue-black flag magic weapon that he had obtained from the ancestor of the Su family before, as well as this [Soil Vajra Cover] magic weapon, would become the most important reliance for him to win the treasure inside.

After everything was ready, Zhou Chunming announced on his face that he would retreat on Tuyun Ridge, but secretly he used the [Hundred Illusion Bead] to disguise and leave Tuyun Ridge.

And Luo Qingni on the Jiufeng Ridge had already left there more than a month in advance, and was now waiting for him in the territory of Shen State.

After Zhou Chun arrived in the territory of Shen Kingdom, the two converged together, and even Luo Qingni rushed to the Great Zhou Kingdom at full speed.

In less than half a month, Zhou Chun and Luo Qingni returned to Tianyuan Immortal City after decades of absence.

After seeing the two of them enter the city, they went straight to Luo Qingni's cave in the city.

Since Luo Qingni succeeded in marrying the Dan and confirmed her residency in Tianyuan Immortal City, her original cave mansion "Qingni Residence" was officially given to her by Tianyuan Immortal City to live for free.

This is also a special benefit of Tianyuan Immortal City for these master craftsmen of the Jindan period.

After all, the longevity of the Jindan period monks is as long as a thousand years, and if he is willing to stay in a certain Fang City and accept the alchemy refiner commission from other monks, it will bring great popularity to the Fang City.

A large part of the reason why Tianyuan Immortal City was able to become the first immortal city in the Great Zhou Kingdom was that they had retained a large number of refining masters and alchemy masters to refine their weapons here.

After bringing Zhou Chun back to his cave mansion at this time, Luo Qingni quickly looked at him and said, "I'll wait for a few days to rest in Tianyuan Immortal City, and after Qingni is looking for someone to find out about the situation, I will personally escort Zhou Daoyou to Muli Lake!" ”

"No problem, Zhou obeys Luo Daoyou's arrangement!"

Zhou Chun nodded happily and agreed directly.

In the next few days, Zhou Chun stayed in the guest room in Luo Qingni Cave Mansion, and did not go to the guest house outside.

And when Luo Qingni went to collect and inquire about intelligence, he went to a few shops in the city and took out the fifteen Zhuji Dan that Lin Wan'er had booked.

At the same time, I also inquired about the market by the way.

Sure enough, as he expected, as the inflation in the Heavenly Spirit Realm gradually appeared, the price of spiritual resources such as Zhuji Dan on the side of the Great Zhou Kingdom also rose slightly, and bundled sales measures also began to appear.

If you want to buy strategic spiritual resources such as Zhuji Dan in bulk, you have to buy a batch of other kinds of pills or talismans as well.

This is also a disguised price increase!

However, the other good news is that the price of ritual artifacts has not been affected too much.

Zhou Chun had now accumulated a lot of third-order magic weapons and second-order magic weapons in his hands, and the number of these magic weapons was enough to arm ten Purple Mansion Stage cultivators!

It is impossible for the Zhou family to use so many magic weapons in a short period of time.

So he planned to sell most of them for resources.

It's just that with his current cultivation in the Purple Mansion Period, it is very unsafe to sell third-order magic weapons on a large scale like this, so he plans to wait for himself to come over and sell them after he marries the Dan.

After staying in Tianyuan Immortal City for eight days, Luo Qingni finally finished inquiring about the information and determined that there were no special events on the Dolan Grassland recently, and he could take Zhou Chun to the secret island in Muli Lake.

And this time when he went to Muli Lake, the demon beast that traveled became Zhou Chun's two-headed spirit pet, and the Golden-winged Tiger and Lei Jiao took turns to carry the two of them away.

Among them, Lei Jiao deliberately used [Hundred Illusion Beads] to hide his true identity.

Compared to the second-order high-grade six-winged flying lizard last time, Zhou Chun's two spirit pets were undoubtedly much longer in terms of speed and endurance.

And even if they encountered the mages of the "Winged Clan" and other grassland demon beasts on the way, these two spirit pets were completely enough to throw them away with their speed, or kill them on the spot.

In less than a month, Zhou Chun and the others came to the shore of Muli Lake again.

After entering the water, Zhou Chun and Luo Qingni rode on its back, and went to the location of the secret island under Luo Qingni's guidance.

After a short time, the two of them arrived outside the secret island.

"This is the place, Zhou Daoyou let your spirit pet stop!"

There was a deep water area at the bottom of the lake, and after the forward Lei Jiao Baibai went back to the same place twice, Luo Qingni decisively opened his mouth and asked Zhou Chun to stop Lei Jiao Baibai.

Then she looked at Zhou Chun and said slowly: "Zhou Daoyou, have you really decided to try to form a pill inside?" ”

"Yes, Zhou Chun is ready!"

Zhou Chun nodded and responded in a resolute tone.

"In that case, then Qingni won't persuade you anymore!"

Luo Qingni sighed lightly, then looked at Zhou Chun with a straight face and said: "It's just that Qingni wants to ask Zhou Daoyou to promise Qingni first, and before marrying the Dan, try your best to see if you can get the treasure that Qingni needs, so as to avoid Zhou Daoyou from touching the forbidden law inside and being teleported out if the Dan is successful!" ”

Hearing her words, Zhou Chun also responded with a solemn face: "This is natural, Zhou will definitely try his best to take risks in it before marrying the Dan!" ”

"Zhou Daoyou's character, Qingni still believes in it, then Qingni doesn't ask Daoyou to make any demon oaths, Zhou Daoyou, please take these things!"

Luo Qingni nodded slightly, and as she spoke, she handed a storage bag to Zhou Chun, which contained the fourth-order low-grade puppet she had prepared, as well as some magic talismans and pills.

Finally, she raised her hand and patted the storage bag on her waist, and there was an extra piece of jade talisman with a simple style in her hand.

"This jade talisman doesn't need to be refined, as long as you urge it with your own mana, you can make the [Qiankun Upside Down Great Array] here automatically generate an induction, and teleport Zhou Daoyou into the island, and the method of leaving the island, Qingni is also recorded in the storage bag for you!"

Zhou Chun raised his hand to take the storage bag and the jade talisman, and after looking at the jade talisman in his hand a little, he nodded at Luo Qingni and said: "Luo Daoyou, don't worry, if Zhou can successfully withdraw the treasure before the Dan, he will notify you of this matter first, otherwise Daoyou will wait patiently for Zhou to come out!" ”

Hearing this, Luo Qingni also bowed slightly: "Qingni understands, then I wish Zhou Daoyou all the best!" ”

"Then Zhou went first."

Zhou Chun said, and put Lei Jiao into the spirit beast bag in vain, and then held the jade talisman and slowly injected mana.

A moment later, the white light released by the jade talisman enveloped Zhou Chun's whole body, and his figure moved forward, quickly disappearing from Luo Qingni's sight.

By the time Zhou Chun's gaze returned to normal, he had already appeared on the bluestone square mentioned by Luo Qingni.

"What a rich aura!"

On the bluestone square, Zhou Chun looked around, and was amazed by the rich aura of heaven and earth.

Even though it was the Moon Wheel Sect Mountain Gate that he had visited, the aura of heaven and earth in most places was not so strong.

But it's normal to think about it, after all, this is a cave house for a primordial infant monk.

Then Zhou Chun was not in a hurry to explore this place, so he immediately put away the jade talisman in his hand first, opened the storage bag given by Luo Qingni and checked the contents of it.

The storage bag contained a fourth-order low-grade Great Ape puppet and a replacement spirit crystal, as well as three fourth-order talismans, including a fourth-order mid-grade talisman.

In addition, there are as many as ten third-order high-grade talismans.

In addition, there is also a bottle of [Great Replenishing Yuan Pill] that can greatly restore mana, there are five in total, and taking one can restore Zhou Chun's mana by five or six percent.

At the same time, there is also a [Exploding Yuan Pill] that can temporarily increase Zhou Chun's mana, which can temporarily increase his mana by 30% after taking it.

But the price of taking this pill is weakness for at least a year!

Zhou Chun definitely won't take this pill!

Finally, there is a jade slip, which not only contains all of Luo Qingni's experience of exploring the secret island several times, but also a general map of the secret island and how to leave the secret island.

At this time, after checking everything, Zhou Chun first recognized the fourth-order low-grade puppet of the master, and at the same time studied the information in the jade slip.

Oops, I'm leaving my hometown tomorrow, I've done a lot of things for my family today, I don't have time to finish writing 8,000 words, I only wrote 6,000 words, and I'll keep 2,000 words first!
