Lingzhou, a barren mountain and a wild ridge somewhere.

I saw that in the past, even Qi refining period cultivators would not easily patronize this barren mountain range, but today it has attracted many immortal cultivators to search for something here.

"Search carefully, that demon has been severely injured by the Commander, he must still be hiding in this mountain!"

In the sky, Xu Fu's figure stood in the air, his face solemn and loudly ordered to command many of his subordinates to search the mountains below.

At this time, it had been more than ten years since he was transferred back to the Demon Eradication Brigade in Lingzhou.

In the past ten years, he can be regarded as having made meritorious contributions, and with the background of the Zhou family, he has finally become the deputy commander of the demon eradication team.

A few days ago, the Lingzhou Demon Eradication Brigade found clues that there was a demon hiding in a loose cultivation stronghold, secretly plotting to kill the scattered cultivators in order to practice demonic skills.

Then the commander of the Lingzhou Demon Eradication Brigade took Xu Fu and others to kill the scattered cultivation stronghold, and started a big battle with the demon and his minions.

After a great battle of pursuit and escape, the demon used a secret technique to defeat both and fight with the leader of the demon slaying team, and forcibly broke through and fled to this mountain.

And the leader of the demon extermination brigade was not lightly injured, and the demonic qi entered the body, so he could only go back to the nearby stronghold to meditate and heal his injuries, so he handed over the task of chasing and killing the demon to Xu Fulai to complete.

For Xu Fu, this is both a challenge and an opportunity.

After so many years of hard work, he has accumulated more than 70,000 points.

If he can lead the team to take down that demon this time, he will have a good chance to save enough to exchange for a spiritual object to assist in opening up the Purple Mansion.

With his high-grade spiritual root qualifications, coupled with his strong will tempered by a hundred battles, as long as there is a spiritual object to assist, the success rate of opening up the Purple Mansion will definitely be fifty or sixty percent!

So at this time, he was more active than anyone else in searching for that demon.

Perhaps it was really too badly wounded, and it didn't take long for the demon's hiding place to be found.

The two Qi Refining Stage cultivators who were close were caught by this demon on the spot and sucked up their blood!

"Here, here, here!"

A frightened voice sounded from a certain mountain, and when Xu Fu in the sky heard the shout, he immediately rushed over with seven or eight foundation-building period monks.

Subsequently, these foundation building period monks were led by Xu Fu, and together they formed a battle formation to fight against the demon.

Because the demon himself was hit hard, and his strength was already one out of ten, and at this moment, facing the battle formation formed by Xu Fu and other foundation building monks, he couldn't help these juniors for a while.

In the end, after a hard battle, Xu Fu and his side successfully killed this Purple Mansion Stage Demon Cultivator at the cost of the fall of the two early stage foundation building cultivators!

With the foundation building period monk to kill the demon cultivator of the Purple Mansion period, even if it was a demon cultivator who was seriously injured, Xu Fu's move could be regarded as famous.

And because he was born in the Zhou family, his boss didn't dare to be too greedy for his credit, and basically reported his credit normally.

So in the end, after calculating, Xu Fu finally accumulated enough to exchange for a battle merit to assist in opening up the Purple Mansion spiritual object.

As for the spirit coins needed to exchange spiritual objects at the same time, he had already accumulated enough after so many years of fighting.

Therefore, as soon as the battle merit reached the standard, he immediately applied for exchange.

According to the rules of the Heavenly Spirit Alliance, the Qi Refining Period Cultivators exchanged for the Zhuji Dan and the Foundation Building Spiritual Objects, and the Foundation Building Period Monks exchanged for the Auxiliary Purple Mansion Spiritual Objects, all have priority.

Therefore, although there were still two [Xuanxin Purple Returning Pills] on the Zhou family's side in the queue cycle, Xu Fu's side only waited for a few months to get an assistance in opening up the Purple Mansion Spirit Object.

And as soon as he got the spiritual object, he took leave to retreat in the station.

As the honorary elder of the Zhou family, the news that Xu Fu had been assisted in opening up the Purple Mansion spiritual object and retreating quickly reached Zhou Chun's ears.

At that time, Zhou Chun was still busy smelting [Earth Mother Xuanjin], and after learning the news, his eyes also narrowed slightly.

After he ordered someone to find Xu Fu's information in recent years to check it, he couldn't help but say to himself: "This son's chance is not small, it seems that after he gets out of the customs, he will have to be recalled to the family immediately!" ”

Xu Fu can be said to have participated in the development of the wilderness by the Zhou family throughout the whole process, and knows many secrets of the Zhou family.

With such a character, Zhou Chun would never let him stand on his own without the Zhou family.

And as the Zhou family became more powerful, the interests of the wilderness became more important to the Zhou family.

Once the layout of the wilderness is exposed, the impact on the Zhou family will be much greater than before.

Therefore, these outsiders who know the secrets of the Wild Land must strengthen their control!

Zhou Chun has begun to comprehend and practice the "Soul Control Dafa" since he succeeded in forming the Dan, and now after several years of practice, he has also gained some gains, and if he is given two or three years to practice, he should be able to successfully perform this secret technique.

Compared with the original positioning and tracking threats that only relied on the "Secret of Turning into a Dragon", the "Soul Control Dafa" is undoubtedly much stronger in terms of control of people.

This method is similar to the "Dragon Soul Heart Seed" secret technique taught by the Dragon Transformation to the disciples above the Dharma Protector level, which can plant a "soul seed" in the divine soul of the recipient of the Jindan Monk's divine consciousness.

If a Jindan monk who has not planted the "soul seed" within a certain period of time helps stabilize the "soul seed", the "soul seed" will automatically explode, causing the soul of the recipient to be destroyed or severely damaged.

Naturally, cultivators of the "Soul Control Dafa" can also take the initiative to cast spells to detonate the "Soul Seed" and eliminate those who dare to betray them thousands of miles away!

However, the disadvantage of the "Soul Control Dafa" is that the cultivator must be a great realm of cultivation higher than the recipient, otherwise the "soul seed" will not be able to threaten the other party at all, and it will be easily erased.

And if there is a monk whose divine sense is much stronger than that of the caster, he can also erase the "soul seed" with the active cooperation of the recipient.

From this point of view, the "Dragon Soul Heart Seed" is undoubtedly much more subtle and powerful than the "Soul Control Dafa".

It's a pity that although the Zhou family has the cultivation method of "Dragon Soul Cultivation Heart Technique", that method can only be used after cultivating the fourth layer of the "Dragon Transformation Secret", and only after the recipient cultivates the "Dragon Transformation Secret" to the third layer can he successfully plant the "Dragon Soul Heart Seed", and Zhou Chun is not cultivating this method with the blood of Qingjiao!

After the technology reaches the standard, smelting [Earth Mother Xuanjin] is actually a hard work like an assembly line.

Zhou Chun had to smelt the ore with his own Jindan True Fire every day, stripping out the impurities in it little by little, and the last thing left was [Earth Mother Xuanjin].

At his rate, it would take about two years to smelt all the [Earth Mother Xuanjin] ore he had collected.

In this way, it is not difficult to understand why it took Lin Hongyu several years to refine the natal magic weapon in the first place.

……

Jiufeng Ridge, Baozhi Peak.

However, it was said that after Zhou Xinyan successfully obtained the snake gall of the second-order fire scale python, he returned to the family and rushed directly to the side of Jiufeng Ridge after handing over the task, and then let his spirit pet Chiyan Dragon Python swallow two snake galls and a three-hundred-year-old medicinal dragon grass and began the road of evolution.

And the reason why he came to Jiufengling was also due to psychological reasons.

Many monks of the Zhou family now believe that Jiufeng Ridge is the blessed land of the family, and it will be easier to succeed in retreat or to let the spirit pet break through and evolve here.

Zhou Xinyan was also one of them, so he specially chose Baozhi Peak, where the patriarch Zhou Chun once lived, to let the spirit pet break through and evolve.

Even the place he chose was not far from Zhou Chun's original courtyard.

I don't know if there is really luck in the underworld, this time I only waited for more than three months on Baozhi Peak, and Zhou Xinyan's spirit pet Chiyan Dragon Python successfully evolved to the second order and became an intermediate demon beast.

I saw that the Red Flame Dragon Python, which had evolved to the second order, not only had red snake scales like dragon scales growing on its body, but also gave birth to a bulge similar to the original Silver Thunder Python on the top of its head, which obviously had dragon horns in the process.

At this time, it may be called a flaming dragon python!

successfully cultivated the spirit pet Chiyan Dragon Python into a Flame Dragon Python, and Zhou Xinyan was also very happy in his heart.

He has always regarded the patriarch Zhou Chun as an idol and target, and wants to become a strong man like the patriarch Zhou Chun.

Therefore, in the case of having an intermediate demon beast Blue Feather Fire Kite, he still contracted to cultivate a Red Flame Dragon Python, dreaming that one day he would be able to cultivate it into a dragon.

Now that the Red Flame Dragon Python has evolved into the Flame Dragon Python, he has taken an important step on the road to becoming a dragon, and the joy in his heart is needless to mention.

In order to celebrate this event, he specially invited many monks of the same clan to celebrate at his residence, showing them the majestic appearance of the evolved Flame Dragon Python.

Zhou Chun accidentally released his divine sense to sweep all over the Tuyun Ridge, and he also happened to see the scene of celebration at Zhou Xinyan's residence.

He secretly observed the state of mana aura on Zhou Xinyan's body, and then observed the newly evolved Flame Dragon Python, and couldn't help nodding slightly: "Well, Xinyan's son is not bad, if he can successfully open up the Purple Mansion, he can consider cultivating it as a Jindan seed in the future!" ”

With the qualifications of a high-grade spiritual root and the cultivation of top-level exercises, even among the Great Gate Sect, this kind of monk is enough to become a candidate for the Golden Pill Seed.

Of course, there is no shortage of geniuses in the sect, and if you want to truly become a golden pill seed and obtain the resources of the sect, you have to look at your personal background and personal performance.

But in an immortal cultivation family like the Zhou family, geniuses of this grade are rare, and once they appear, as long as they are not the kind of people with bad character and unbearable cultivation, they are generally easier to be cultivated by the family as Jindan seeds.

This is also one of the important reasons why some geniuses of the Immortal Cultivation Family are willing to stay in the family.

To put it bluntly, there is no shortage of geniuses in this world.

Taking the Zhou family as an example, there are now two high-grade spiritual root qualified monks among the monks of this clan, Zhou Xinyan and Zhou Yuanyuan, and there will definitely be more high-grade spiritual root qualified monks in the future.

In addition, there are also Zhang Liang and Xu Fu, two monks with foreign surnames, who are also high-grade spiritual root qualifications.

This does not include Lin Hongyu and Su Yuzhen, two high-grade spiritual root cultivators.

Therefore, if you feel that you have the qualification of the Spiritual Root, you will be cultivated by the Great Gate Sect, it is completely wishful thinking.

Zhou Chun didn't care what other monks thought, anyway, his own experience had shown that resources were more important than qualifications!

The resources are good enough, and a middle-grade spiritual root qualified monk like him can succeed in one attempt.

If the resources are not good, it is not uncommon for a high-grade spiritual root qualified monk to fail to form a pill.

Therefore, as the controller of resources, he would never easily invest resources in a certain clansman just because of his excellent spiritual root qualifications.

Unless he's the legendary Ultimate Spirit Root Qualification!

Time passed slowly, and when Zhou Chun was concentrating on smelting [Earth Mother Xuanjin], according to his requirements, the Zhou family held several skill competitions.

Because of the rich prizes and the fact that everyone can sign up for the competition, many Zhou family monks have signed up to participate.

And although the several competitions have consumed a lot of family resources, they have indeed unearthed a few talented clansmen.

Among them, the most talented clansman is a young man with the word "Zhi", named Zhou Zhixiong, who has a high talent in talisman making, and he has only cultivated at the third level in the Qi refining period, and he has been able to produce more than a dozen first-order low-grade talismans after learning talisman making skills for three years, and the success rate has reached more than three percent.

After Zhou Chun learned about this, he asked the second-order talisman master in the clan to take him specially and give him inclined help in the pill resources.

Nowadays, the best talisman maker in the Zhou family is Zhou Daoyi, who can make third-order low-grade talismans.

However, according to his own words, this is basically the upper limit of his talisman making skills, and unless he can succeed in the knot, it is impossible to make more advanced talismans.

Zhou Zhixiong's current age and cultivation show that his talisman making talent is obviously much stronger than Zhou Daoyi, and if he can successfully open up the Purple Mansion in the future, he will most likely have the opportunity to become a third-order high-grade talisman maker.

If you can cultivate such a level of talisman maker, it will be enough to greatly improve the family background.

In addition to Zhou Zhixiong, a talisman genius, there is another person whose performance in the skill competition has attracted Zhou Chun's attention.

That person was Zhang Liang, a monk from his relatives.

This high-grade spiritual root qualification monk who was originally associated with Zhou Chun and then joined the Zhou family turned out to have a very good formation talent.

In the years that he lived with the formation mage fellow Zhou Xindie, he also discovered his talent in this area, and under the indoctrination and cultivation of the Zhou family's relatively perfect formation inheritance, he had already caught up with his Daoist companion Zhou Xindie in the formation attainment.

In this Zhou family's skills competition, the formation is the chief examiner he serves.

With his current formation accomplishments, he is almost comparable to Zhou Chongshan, the second elder of the Zhou family.

Now it is said that he is comprehending the [Five Directions Miluo Array] formation sent by the You family on the Zhou Pure Jindan Grand Ceremony.

If he can really comprehend this square formation diagram and arrange the [Five Directions Miluo Array], then his formation attainments can be regarded as completely chasing Zhou Chongshan.

"If this person can really arrange the [Five Directions Miluo Array], he might as well support him to open up the Purple Mansion, then he may be able to become the first formation master of my Zhou family!"

"And this can also play a role in buying a horse bone!"

Zhou Chun secretly made a note on his small notebook, and the names recorded on this small notebook were all talents that he felt could be observed and cultivated in the family.

It took nearly two years before and after, and Zhou Chun finally smelted out the [Earth Mother Xuanjin].

As soon as this major event was completed, Zhou Chun went to the Su family in Jiangzhou first.

His Taoist companion Su Yuzhen has now begun to retreat and condense the "Void Pill", and the progress is also very good, and it is estimated that he will be able to succeed in one or two years.

After Zhou Chun learned about the situation, he didn't bother the Taoist couple too much and left directly.

Then he rushed straight towards the Great Zhou Kingdom.

A few years have passed, Luo Qingni's side should have also recovered from the research on the improved pill formula, and Zhou Chun wanted to find her to mobilize her connections to gather the elixir to refine a furnace of [Ancient Dust Pill].

In addition, he has already let the family collect several auxiliary materials for Zhuji Dan in the past few years, and it is time to ask Luo Qingni to refine them together.

And that day, he also had to collect the [Taiyi Xuanjin Qi] of the Treasure Pavilion first, so as to prevent the shopkeeper Sun from misappropriating the goods he had booked to others first.

At the same time, I have to see if I can meet the puppeteer I talked to Luo Qingni last time.

By the way, I will also inquire about Yu Jinghua's news again and see what has happened to this old thing recently!

After Xiuwei stepped into the Jindan period, it was very convenient to travel between the Great Zhou Kingdom and Yasukuni, and Zhou Chun didn't have to think twice about the arrangements before he went to the same place.

But what Zhou Chun didn't expect was that when he entered Tianyuan Immortal City and came to look for Luo Qingni, he was in vain.

I still learned from Luo Qingni's shop that she was invited by a sect in a country other than Da Zhou to make alchemy for the sect for three years, and now she has been there for two years.

"This is strange, with Luo Qingni's character, it is okay to ask her to do alchemy, but it is almost impossible to let her serve as a full-time alchemist! It's ......"

Zhou Chun suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but shake his head, and didn't think about it anymore.

If it was really as he thought, the real person of the Yuan Infant Stage personally came forward to invite, then Luo Qingni was indeed difficult to refuse.

After all, the immortal cultivation world is respected by strength, a Yuan Infant Stage monk came forward to invite a Jindan stage monk to help with things, as long as it is not too harsh, it is difficult for Jindan stage monks to refuse, dare not refuse!

Since Luo Qingni can't come back for the time being, the matter of inviting her to do alchemy can only be postponed.

Zhou Chun immediately diverted to Tianbao Pavilion and collected the predetermined [Taiyi Xuanjin Qi].

Sun Yuanjing of Tianbao Pavilion was indeed doing things according to the contract, Zhou Chun could easily get the [Taiyi Xuan Golden Qi] collected in the past few years from him, if it could be so smooth in the future, it would not be difficult to get enough of the golden qi he needed in about twenty years.

And after the delivery of the golden qi, Sun Yuanjing suddenly looked at Zhou Chun and said, "By the way, I don't know if the magic weapon spirit materials that Zhang Daoyou said last time have been collected?" Sun has also known who one of the spiritual materials is in the hands of someone in recent years, and he also intends to use it to replace other treasures, if Zhang Daoyou is willing, Sun is willing to come forward to match the two Taoist friends and facilitate a deal! ”

"Oh, I don't know what kind of spiritual material Sun Daoyou is talking about?"

Zhou Chun's eyes lit up, and he suddenly became interested.

"It's a piece of [Starfall Gold], weighing more than seven hundred catties, it should be completely enough for Zhang Daoyou, what you need!"

Sun Yuanjing smiled slightly and said the answer.

"It turned out to be [Starfall Gold]!"

Zhou Chun's eyes froze, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes.

The list of magic weapon spiritual materials he gave to Sun Yuanjing before was the material needed for the complete version of [Wanhua Golden Tripod].

But in fact, when refining [Wanhua Golden Ding], only a few materials were needed at the beginning.

Including the same with the natal magic weapons of many Jindan period monks, at the beginning, you only need to gather the core refining materials, and you can refine them.

For example, the core refining materials of [Wanhua Jinding] are [Earth Mother Xuanjin], [Millennium Xuantie], and [Tianxuan Golden Sand], as long as you gather these materials, you can refine the basic version of [Wanhua Jinding].

Later, if you get materials such as [Gold Essence], [Heption Gold], and [Venus Stone], you can still add smelting into the magic weapon to increase the power and growth speed of the magic weapon.

However, if the smelting materials are added to the magic weapon halfway, it will be necessary to use the secret method to warm the magic weapon for a certain period of time, which will waste some cultivation time.

If Zhou Chun can gather the materials of the complete version to refine the [Wanhua Golden Tripod], then after the successful refining of this treasure, not only will the power be much stronger than the basic version, but it can also save a lot of effort in the future.

Therefore, if he could, he still wanted to collect as many materials as possible to refine the [Wanhua Golden Ding], saving him the effort of slowly smelting and cultivating in the future.

And now the [Starfall Gold] that Sun Yuanjing is talking about is one of the materials that is more difficult to collect among the materials required by the [Wanhua Golden Ding].

Now that there is news of this thing, how can Zhou Chun not be happy.

When he hugged his fist at Sun Yuanjing and said: "Shopkeeper Sun has a heart, then please leave this matter to Shopkeeper Sun!" ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

Sun Yuanjing smiled slightly and agreed.

He is willing to do this kind of thing, of course, not because he is helpful, but because by doing this kind of favor, he can expand his network and show grace to others.

Today, he helped Zhou Chun match, no matter whether the deal was successful or not, Zhou Chun and the monk who had the [Starfall Gold] would accept his love, and in the future, whether it was selling spiritual objects or buying spiritual objects, they would definitely think of him first.

Isn't that the business coming?

The Jindan period cultivators had a wide range of activities, and their Heavenly Treasure Pavilion might be very competitive in the Heavenly Abyss Immortal City and the Great Zhou Kingdom, but it might not be the case in other places.

If he could develop the Jindan period monks from other places into regular customers through these favors, it would also be very helpful for him Sun Yuanjing to improve his status in the Tianbao Pavilion.

In this way, under Sun Yuanjing's matchmaking, Zhou Chun quickly met with the monk who had the [Starfall Gold].

There is no doubt that the other party is also a Jindan monk, and he is a Jindan mid-stage monk.

And this person doesn't need magic weapon spiritual materials, he just wants to exchange [Starfall Gold] for two rarer thousand-year treasure medicines.

"He Daoyou needs a thousand-year-old treasure medicine, only one Golden Ring Yellow Essence in Zhang's hand meets the requirements of Daoyou, this elixir is more than three thousand six hundred years old, very precious!"

"If Daoist friends are willing to change, Zhang can also add another two-thousand-year-old medicinal herb!"

In the Tianbao Pavilion, Zhou Chun gave his most sincere offer after inspecting the [Starfall Gold] that the other party took out.

It was impossible for him to really exchange two thousand-year-old elixirs for a piece of [Starfall Gold], because although this [Starfall Gold] was also difficult to find, it was not a magic weapon spiritual material that was difficult to find and necessary like [Earth Mother Xuanjin].

Even if he can't get it now, he still has a long time to collect it slowly in the future.

And the thousand-year-old treasure medicine he himself will use in the future.

There is no doubt that Zhou Chun's offer is also stuck on the other party's bottom line.

The other party guessed that he needed [Starfall Gold] to refine the natal magic weapon, and he also knew that the other party wanted the thousand-year-old treasure medicine to refine the elixir to impact the late stage of the golden pill.

Neither side can rely on the needs of the other to take the initiative.

So after a few tugging, Zhou Chun added two more ordinary thousand-year-old elixirs as bargaining chips, and still exchanged for the [Starfall Gold].

This piece of [Star Meteorite Gold] weighs more than 700 catties, but in fact it is only the size of a goose egg, and it looks black and not very eye-catching.

After reaching this deal, Zhou Chun thanked Sun Yuanjing again, and went to Tianzhilou to inquire about Yu Jinghua's news.
