Takeba Island.

When Zhou Chun saw the meeting gift given to Zhou Zhiying by Zhou Daoyi, he was also slightly surprised.

It stands to reason that when the elders see outstanding juniors, they should also give some greeting gifts.

But the meeting gift that Zhou Daoyi is giving now is already beyond the scope of the three words "meeting gift".

The demon beast eggs in the jade box, even Zhou Zhiying could see that it was extraordinary, so at this time, he felt that things were a little hot, and he couldn't help but look at Zhou Chun with a look of help.

Although she was young, she was no longer ignorant, and what she had seen and heard in the previous six months had made her deeply understand that cultivation resources were not easy to come by.

So at this time, when she saw the "senior Yi" in front of her giving such a valuable thing to herself as a meeting gift, her first reaction was to be courteous and courteous, either a traitor or a thief!

There must be something that wants to ask for the help of his master, so he will give such a heavy gift!

After having this idea, she naturally didn't want to trap her teacher in injustice because of her greed.

From this point of view, Zhou Chun's teaching to her has undoubtedly had an effect.

Therefore, after seeing her little eyes asking for help at this time, Zhou Chun was relieved in his heart, and at the same time, he immediately smiled at her and said, "Since it is Yi Daoyou's heart, Ying'er, you can accept it." ”

After speaking, he looked at Zhou Daoyi meaningfully and said, "It's okay to ask Yi Daoyou to tell me what kind of monster beast's egg this is!" ”

How could Zhou Daoyi not understand what he meant, and immediately smiled and said: "Hehe, this thing was obtained by Yi at an exchange meeting, it is the egg of a high-level demon beast Tianfeng Thunder Eagle produced on the Dolan Grassland, this Tianfeng Thunder Eagle is said to sometimes lay two beast eggs, but they are only willing to raise one offspring to grow up, so they often feed the weak egg to the newborn young bird to supplement the origin and strengthen the blood of the young bird!" ”

"However, once the multi-winged mage on the Dolan Grassland discovers this situation, he will seize the weak eagle eggs to hatch them into spirit pets, or take the eagle eggs laid by his own spirit pets to exchange them for spiritual objects with others, so Yi has a chance to exchange them for this thing!"

The Heavenly Wind Thunder Eagle is a special demon beast on the Dolan Grassland, which is born with the ability to resist wind and control thunder, and is an extremely rare wind and thunder dual-attribute demon beast.

This kind of demon beast is famous for its flight speed in the Great Zhou Kingdom, and it is said that the speed of the third-order high-grade Heavenly Wind Thunder Eagle is so fast that even the early Jindan monks can't catch up!

Moreover, because this kind of demon beast has the attribute of wind and thunder, its combat skills are also very powerful, and it can compete with dragons of the same level.

It can be said that it is a powerful demon beast with almost no obvious shortcomings!

In the various auctions of the Great Zhou Kingdom, there have been many auction records of the eagle eggs of the Heavenly Wind Thunder Eagle in the past, and each auction will attract some Jindan period monks to bid, and the price can often be fried to several times that of other high-level demon beasts.

After all, the vast majority of high-level demon beasts, even if they were cultivated to the third-order upper grade, would have no effect on Jindan stage cultivators at all.

However, Tianfeng Thunder Eagle was able to rely on its strong flying speed to give the early Jindan monks an extra hole card to chase the enemy and escape.

Even if it costs hundreds of thousands of spirit coins for this, some people are willing.

Zhou Daoyi obviously took great pains to find this treasure, and he didn't know how much he paid for it!

Zhou Chun knew that he wanted to use this way to thank himself for his help in marrying Dan, and he also wanted to use this way to support the family to form descendants.

So it's not good for him to say anything, and it's even more difficult for Zhou Zhiying to refuse.

At the moment, he could only look at Zhou Zhiying and said: "You also heard Yi Daoyou's words, this is a treasure that is hard to find, you must cultivate this spirit pet well in the future, don't forget Yi Daoyou's kindness!" ”

After listening to Zhou Daoyi's words, Zhou Zhiying was already happy in his heart, and his hands holding the jade box were even harder, and he was very happy about this gift in his heart.

At this time, when he heard Zhou Chun's words, he hurriedly nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "The apprentice knows, the apprentice must treat it well." ”

Then he bowed to Zhou Daoyi from the bottom of his heart and said: "Thank you for the love of your predecessors, Ying'er will definitely take good care of this Tianfeng Thunder Eagle and live up to the love of her predecessors!" ”

"Hahaha, if you like it, it's good if you're satisfied."

Zhou Daoyi smiled heartily and was also very satisfied with Zhou Zhiying's performance.

Next, Zhou Chun personally guided Zhou Zhiying to recognize the owner of Tianfeng Thunder Eagle.

Previously, because Zhou Zhiying's talent was too high, Zhou Chun felt that those demon beasts in the family had no varieties that could match her cultivation growth rate, so she didn't contract any demon beasts.

After all, the tradition of the Zhou family is that the demon beast cultivated by contract since childhood, as long as he can support his growth in the future, he will definitely try his best to support it.

And Zhou Zhiying will be able to succeed in the future, so it is really unnecessary for her to contract an intermediate demon beast cub.

Even if it was the kind of dragon-descended demon beast that had the potential to transform into Jiao, in Zhou Chun's opinion, there was no need for that.

Not to mention the many resources that need to be consumed to cultivate Jiaolong, Jiaolong itself is actually a double-edged sword, in the case that the Zhou family does not have a Yuan Infant Cultivator in charge, it is actually not a good thing to cultivate too many Jiaolong.

Not only is it easy to provoke the hostility of the Jiaolong clan, but it is also inevitable that they will be squeezed by the sects of the Moon Wheel Sect and the Yanyang Sect.

Zhou Chun didn't want his apprentice to be the same as himself, and then experience and endure those aggrieved things!

Zhou Daoyi obviously understood his thoughts, so he painstakingly found a Tianfeng Thunder Eagle Egg and gave it to Zhou Zhiying, so as to help her resolve the embarrassing situation of not having a spirit pet.

As a monk of the Zhou family, he is still the only disciple of Zhou Chun, and he is not accompanied by a high-grade spirit pet, which is indeed a little unreasonable!

However, judging from the current situation, Tianfeng Thunder Eagle is estimated to only be able to accompany Zhou Zhiying for hundreds of years, and her future path is destined to be different from other Zhou family monks.

When she went to that secret island and inherited the mantle inheritance of that great monk in the late Yuan Infant period, she would definitely devote herself to the Tao and focus on her own cultivation, and she would not devote her energy to cultivating spiritual pets like Zhou Chun.

After all, since a great monk in the late Yuan Infant period has taken the initiative to arrange the affairs of the inheritor of the mantle, he will definitely not let the inheritor be distracted by external objects, whether it is the magic weapon of the talisman and the Dao, or the elixir that assists in breaking through the realm barrier, he will definitely be prepared!

What Zhou Zhiying needs to do at that time is to cultivate step by step to the Yuan Infant Stage, completely inherit all the mantles of the great cultivator in the late Yuan Infant Period, and strive to one day be able to fulfill the other party's last wish and go to a higher realm to see the scenery above!

But these are things for the future after all, and now that she is a monk of the Zhou family and a disciple of Zhou Chun, she naturally wants to follow the style of the Zhou family first.

Besides, after Zhou Daoyi met Zhou Zhiying here, his inner wish was also satisfied, and after spending two days with Zhou Chun's master and apprentice on the shore of the lake, he returned to Tianyuan Immortal City satisfied.

And Zhou Chun then took Zhou Zhiying into the stronghold on Zhuye Island, inspected it casually, and after encouraging and rewarding these clansmen who fought for the family, he also returned to the family.

After returning to the family, Zhou Chun taught his disciples, and at the same time, he also commanded and ordered the Zhou family monks in the wilderness to begin to expand outward, expand resource exploration and collection, and handed over the matter to Xu Fulai to lead.

At the same time, at Xu Fu's request, Zhou Chun also agreed to expand the establishment of mortal settlements.

After years of breeding and growth, the mortals of those wilderness lands that were originally sheltered by the Zhou family have now expanded to dozens of tribes, with more than 500,000 people!

Now, just every year, there are as many as four or five children with spiritual root qualifications found among the children born to these mortals.

With the addition of these people, the Zhou family no longer even needs to arrest and extradite monks from Yasukuni to be incorporated into the dead soldiers' camp, and can directly train a team of dead soldiers from there in batches.

After Xu Fu saw this, he took the opportunity to put forward a proposal to expand the establishment of mortal settlements.

According to what he said, now that the Dragon Transformation Sect has been completely destroyed, there is no longer any Terran power in the wilderness that the Zhou family needs to fear.

Therefore, even if those mortals were allowed to expand the tribe and attract demon beasts to attack, they would not implicate the Zhou family.

At most, it is a mortal who expands outward, and the number of casualties will greatly increase!

But this can also be said to be their own choice!

It is better to choose to expand the living area outward and sacrifice it than to implement birth control internally and stifle the reproductive instinct.

However, although Zhou Chun agreed to this matter, he also sternly warned Xu Fu that the Zhou family must not be enemies of some high-level demon beasts in order to protect those mortals.

The encounter of hunting high-level demon beasts in the wilderness made Zhou Chun know that most of these demon beasts were in contact with the fourth-order demon beasts, and if the Zhou family monks were enemies of them out of protection for mortals, it was difficult to guarantee that they would not report the matter to the fourth-order demon beasts, and then spread it to the ears of the Jiaolong clan.

At that time, even if it will not implicate the Zhou family's own side, it will also cause a catastrophe to the family's stronghold in the wilderness.

Therefore, Zhou Chun will not allow this kind of thing to happen.

In addition to the great exploration of the wilderness, Zhou Chun is also planning industrial upgrading internally.

Now the Zhou family is not to mention that there are many talents, but there are also many talents, and the four mainstream immortal cultivation skills of the Dan Weapon Rune Array have made great progress and improvement.

In terms of alchemy, Zhou Xinlan, Zhou Simiao and others can already refine the elixir of the mana cultivation of the cultivators in the foundation building period, and the number of pills is quite good, and the rest of the elixirs such as healing and detoxification can also be refined into many varieties, and the effect is no worse than that bought outside.

In terms of refining, Zhou Mingde's success rate in refining second-order high-grade magic weapons is now as high as eighty percent, and it is expected that he will be able to refine third-order lower-grade magic weapons in the near future, and several other Zhou family foundation building monks who have learned refining skills are also able to refine second-order lower-grade magic weapons and second-order middle-grade magic weapons.

And the best-selling magic weapons in the Fang Market are always first-order magic weapons, and these people are fully qualified to open a refining shop specializing in refining and selling magic weapons.

Not to mention the talisman making above, not to mention Zhou Daoyi, the talisman master, that is, among the junior monks, there is also Zhou Zhixiong, a genius junior with excellent talisman making talent, and now he is only in the early stage of foundation building, and he has already been able to produce second-order middle-grade talismans!

The rest of the Zhou family monks who were able to make second-order talismans added up to four or five people.

In terms of formations, Zhang Liang and his wife are both connoisseurs, Zhang Liang can already be said to have the level of a formation master, and both of them have the ability to refine the formation plate array flag for sale, and they can sell some finished formations to earn income.

And the traditional strength of the Zhou family, in terms of beasts, is much stronger than before.

Don't talk about the side, just talk about the dragon-descended demon beasts, Lei Jiao Baibai followed the "Wind Thunder Dragon Lizard", "Dragon Scale Water Deer", and "Wind Wind Dragon Pony", and relied on the power of his own strong bloodline, impregnated and alienated two dragon-descended demon beasts "Thunder Dragon Crocodile" and "Thunder Dragon Sparrow".

Among them, the original body of the "Thunderbolt Dragon Crocodile" is a low-level demon beast black scale crocodile, after the alienation, there is an extra silver-white thunder and lightning rune on the top of the head, which can release thunder and lightning spells, and the number of scales on the body has also skyrocketed, covering the whole body, and there are also faint silver lines on the black scales.

This alienated black-scaled crocodile has a very strong combat ability in the water, and its amphibious ability has been strengthened to the extreme.

And the original body of the "Thunder and Lightning Dragon Sparrow" is the Thunder Feather Sparrow, this low-level demon beast that Zhou Chun brought back from the Dragon Sect's General Altar Mountain Gate, finally lived up to his expectations and successfully transformed into the dragon descendant demon beast in his mind.

Compared with the ordinary thunder feather finch, the embodiment of the "thunder and lightning dragon sparrow" is one or two times larger, like a giant eagle, and the soft part of the abdomen grows fine silver-white dragon scales, protecting this weak part.

At the same time, the power of its thunder and lightning spells has also been greatly improved, and it has mastered several kinds of thunder and lightning spells that it has never mastered, and the chance of evolving into a second-order demon beast in the future has greatly increased.

These two dragon-descended demon beasts with strong combat power, once they breed out of the population in the future, they are bound to become the first choice of many low-level cultivators of the Zhou family, which can greatly improve their combat effectiveness!

In addition, the second-order high-grade demon beast Golden Feather Eagle that Zhou Chun gave to Zhou Zhengyong at the beginning has also been successfully paired with the Golden-winged Iron Feather Eagle, and a mixed-race demon beast with stronger potential and strength has been bred "Golden-winged Iron Feather Eagle".

Zhou Chun judged that after this "Golden-winged Iron Feather Eagle" grows to a second-order high-grade demon beast in the future, as long as he has the opportunity to swallow a third-order lower-grade demon pill with the same attribute, he will have a high probability of breaking through to the third order and being promoted to a high-level demon beast!

Nowadays, the Zhou family has more than a dozen kinds of dragon-descended demon beasts, dozens of various practical and powerful demon beasts, and some good-looking and practical demon beast species, as long as a cub is born, they will be quickly replaced by their own monks, or they will be booked and taken away by outside monks.

The various demon beasts produced by the "Spirit Beast Zhou Family" have become a gold-lettered signboard, and there are often monks from other places who come to order!

In this case, Zhou Chun naturally came up with the idea of "industrial upgrading", and was ready to rely on the golden sign of "Spirit Beast Zhou Family" to drive the sales of other products of the family.

First of all, bundles!

If you want to order the monks of those well-known demon beasts of the Zhou family, you must buy a certain amount of matching spirit beast rations and pills, and even the saddles, vests, horseshoes and other beast tools refined and produced by the Zhou family!

And as we all know, once a demon beast gets used to eating a certain food, it will only like to eat this kind of food in the future, and it will develop dependence.

Then there's the raffle to get a spot!

If you want to buy those popular demon beasts of the Zhou family, you need to buy magic weapons, magic charms and other things in the store opened by the Zhou family, and spend a certain amount of money to get the number of lottery draws.

Finally, there is the group sale!

Some special demon beast cubs are not open to the public, if you want to get the purchase quota, you can only get it by pulling people to buy other ordinary demon beasts of the Zhou family, and only by attracting a certain number of people can you finally buy the demon beast you want!

It is said that when Zhou Chun decided to implement these sales methods, some elders and core clansmen in the family were still worried about whether they would be disgusted and then counterproductive.

But the reality turned out that they were worried in vain.

When the rare breeds of demon beasts of the Zhou family, such as the Cloud Treading Dragon Horse, the One-horned Wind Chasing Horse, the Horned Winged Snake, and the One-horned Dragon Lizard, were released to purchase quotas, many sect monks and family monks came over to inquire about the price.

Even after learning about the Zhou family's means of selling these demon beasts, many people still seemed to be interested and wanted to get one.

That's human nature!

For some people, the rarer the thing, the more they can show their ability after getting their hands on it.

They are not afraid that it will be difficult to meet the requirements of the Zhou family to buy demon beast cubs, but they are afraid that the conditions set by the Zhou family are too easy, so that many people can buy them, and they will not be able to show their skills.

Most of the high-level officials of the Zhou family have come over from hard times, so it is naturally difficult to understand the thoughts of these people.

But Zhou Chun is clear.

In this way, after Zhou Chun's integration, the Zhou family's shop can be regarded as a second spring, and the sales volume has increased a lot with the naked eye.

But the real reason for Zhou Chun's "industrial upgrading" is that he wants his family to digest more raw materials obtained from the wilderness.

He would rather sell some finished magic pills at a discount than sell the raw materials at a low price.

On this day, after Zhou Chun finished his daily cultivation and walked out of the secret room, Zhou Zhiying suddenly reported to him that Zhou Zhiqian, the core member of the Zhou family, had been waiting outside for several hours.

According to the rules set by Zhou Chun, unless it was someone he had specifically allowed, the family foundation building monks could only visit him or other Jindan stage monks once every five years to ask about the cultivation matters.

In addition, unless there was something big that needed to be reported to Zhou Chun, the patriarch, alone, ordinary foundation building period monks could not come over and disturb his cultivation.

"Zhou Zhiqian?"

As soon as the thought in Zhou Chun's mind turned, information about this junior suddenly emerged.

The descendants of this kind of "Zhi" generation, he didn't deal with much, he only knew that this Zhou Zhiqian was also a high-grade spiritual root qualification, and he successfully built a foundation at the age of thirty-eight, and then practiced the Zhou family's fighting technique "Golden Sword Sutra", which seemed to have embarked on the sword cultivation route.

To be honest, Zhou Chun didn't particularly understand Zhou Zhiqian's choice.

With his top-grade spiritual root qualifications, even if it was to cultivate a top-level exercise, Zhou Chun felt that it was no problem, but he chose the fighting technique.

That "Golden Sword Sutra" Zhou Chun had also seen in his spare time before, and his cultivation speed could be said to be very slow, and he couldn't even improve his cultivation through ordinary refinement mana pills!

Zhou Zhiqian chose to practice this exercise, even if he was a high-grade spiritual root qualification, Zhou Chun didn't think he had much chance of opening up the Purple Mansion, let alone knotting the Dan.

If it weren't for Zhou Chun's choice of the younger generations of the family, he had always disliked to interfere more, and the Zhou family now didn't have the same thirst for high-grade spiritual root qualification cultivators as before, he would definitely not let them practice this exercise!

And as far as Zhou Chun knew, Zhou Mingde had persuaded this junior at the beginning, but the other party was resolute, and in the end he had no choice but to agree.

At this time, after going through the information about Zhou Zhiqian, a junior, in his heart, Zhou Chun nodded lightly and said: "The teacher knows, you go and bring him in!" ”

"In vain obey."

Zhou Zhiying responded obediently, and soon brought a middle-aged man with a strong breath with a long face into the cave.

"Zhou Zhiqian visited the patriarch, thank you for the chief."

After Zhou Zhiqian, who had a thin and cold face, came in, he just glanced at Zhou Chun, and then meticulously bent down to give a deep salute to express his gratitude.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun didn't mean to say hello, he looked at him directly and asked, "Zhiqian, you came to see this seat today, do you have any doubts that you need to ask?" ”

Hearing his question, Zhou Zhiqian also replied very neatly: "Patriarch Hui's words, the younger generation came to see the patriarch today, just to ask for one thing, that is, I want to ask the patriarch to give me a sword grinding stone!" ”

"You've already reached the second level of the Light Sword Technique?"

Zhou Chun's face was slightly startled, and he looked at the juniors in front of him with some surprise, and some were surprised by what he said.

Regarding the sword grinding stone that he had obtained from that Jindan late stage sword cultivator Shen Jianxing, Zhou Chun did not put it in the family treasury, but put it in his private treasure house in his cave mansion.

However, on the second layer of the "Hanguang Sword Technique" obtained from the Great Zhou Kingdom monk Wei Chi Fei, he indicated the standard for observing the sword grinding stone, that is, to cultivate this sword technique to the second layer.

Now that Zhou Zhiqian came to see him and made this request, it was obvious that he had already met the standards he had set.

Sure enough, after hearing his words, Zhou Zhiqian immediately replied: "That's right, the junior has already practiced the second layer of the "Light Sword Technique" half a month ago. ”

"In that case, you can show me your swordsmanship!"

Zhou Chun's expression moved, and he suddenly became interested, and directly looked at the juniors in front of him and said his request.

"Yes, then please forgive the juniors for offending!"

Zhou Zhiqian said, and immediately slapped the scabbard behind his back, and a pale golden flying sword suddenly came out of the sheath.

I saw him pinch the sword trick slightly, and the pale golden flying sword suddenly flashed, shooting towards Zhou Chundong like a golden thread, as fast as lightning!

It's just that when this sword flew a few feet away in front of Zhou Chun, it was suddenly grabbed by Zhou Chun's hand, and he couldn't move.

This scene suddenly made Zhou Zhiqian's face change, but when he thought that the person in front of him was a Jindan period monk, he was relieved again, and his mind quickly returned to calm.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately looked at him with an appreciative look and nodded and praised: "Yes, yes, is this the killing move 'Hanguang Flash' recorded in the "Hanguang Sword Technique"?" It's really a bit of 'turning a sword into silk'! ”

"You can cut such a sword comparable to a monk in the early stage of foundation building, it seems that you do have a bit of talent in sword cultivation!"

After finishing speaking, he let go of the finger holding the flying sword, and then shook his head slightly and said, "It's just that although you have practiced the second layer of the "Light Sword Technique" and want to observe the sword grinding stone, it is not the right time!" ”

Well, let's update it normally today, and find out the status!
