The matter of rescuing Gongsun Yuanzhi is just a trivial matter that is very easy for Zhou Chun today.

He only asked Gongsun Yuanji to bring a handwritten letter, and the Wei family in Cangzhou released him.

This is the influence of the Zhou family in Yasukuni today.

Except for the Moon Wheel Sect and the Yanyang Sect, no other forces dared not to sell the face of the Zhou family.

As long as it doesn't involve fundamental interests and the bottom line of principles, he will definitely be very happy to sell him Zhou Chun's face.

And after Gongsun Yuanji brought Gongsun Yuanzhi out, he didn't dare to think about leaving directly, and honestly returned to the Qinglian Mountain Range to report to Zhou Chun.

The formation materials that Zhou Chun compensated for them this time, converted into the remuneration for their work, at least had to serve the Zhou family for more than ten years before they could be settled.

"In the future, the two of you will be under Zhang Liang's control, if there is a task to set up a formation, you can go with him."

Facing the grandson brothers and sisters who came to thank him, Zhou Chun just waved his hand and sent the two away, without any intention of looking at each other.

In fact, for Zhou Chun, there is really no need to look at them differently now.

After all, as soon as the [Yimu Panlong Array] was successfully arranged, the Zhou family did not particularly need them in the array.

In the future, even if you want to arrange a stronger mountain protection array, you can directly go to the Supreme Elder of the Gongsun family, or other formation grandmaster-level figures.

Gongsun Yuanzhi said that Zhou Chun coveted their formation inheritance, which was to completely underestimate Zhou Chun.

In Zhou Chun's eyes, not to mention the formation inheritance mastered by the two of them, it is the formation inheritance of the entire Gongsun family, and there is nothing worth paying special attention to.

Because the skill of formation has always been difficult to learn and master, and it is very talented.

The Zhou family's existing formation inheritance has not yet been able to understand by a self-cultivated formation mage, and it is useless to give them a more advanced formation inheritance.

This can be seen from Gongsun Yuanji, who is also a child of the Gongsun family, and his formation level is just ordinary.

And in Zhou Chun's opinion, the Zhou family will definitely not lack high-end formation inheritance in the future, because the owner of that secret island must also be a powerful existence that is proficient in formations.

At least that [Qiankun Upside Down Great Array] is the strongest forbidden great array that Zhou Chun has come into contact with so far, and in terms of the degree of mystery alone, it is estimated that the Moon Wheel Sect's Mountain Protection Great Array cannot be compared!

To be able to arrange such a forbidden large array to protect the cave dojo, to say that the master formation level of the secret realm island has not reached the realm of the formation master, Zhou Chun can't believe it.

So why did he give up the near and far, to try to plot the little bit of formation knowledge that the two juniors had mastered.

After this incident, Zhou Chun returned to his normal cultivation life, and on weekdays, he either devoted himself to cultivation and practiced the secret method of supernatural powers, or he took care of some family affairs, and occasionally had time to amuse and deepen his feelings with the spirit pets.

During this period, many monks from other places who heard the news of the outbreak of the beast tide traveled to Yasukuni, wanting to seek Yasukuni monks to exchange high-level demon pills and demon beast materials.

Zhou Chun also met with several Jindan stage monks in the past few years, and exchanged some precious spiritual materials from some fourth-order demon beasts for a piece of [Fire Yuan Crystal Jade] from a Jindan stage monk, as well as some other useful elixirs.

Among them, [Fire Yuan Crystal Jade] is a rare fire-attribute spiritual material, which meets the needs of Zhou Chun's fire-attribute spiritual object required for cultivating the third layer of the "Little Five Elements Breaking the Forbidden Xuanguang".

After having this item, he only needed to find the metal spirit material and the earth attribute spirit material, and he could cultivate the third layer of this secret magic power.

Zhou Chun actually had an idea in his heart about where to obtain the spiritual materials of these two attributes, but if he could obtain them through other means, it would naturally be better.

In addition to the high-ranking monks from other places who enthusiastically came to Yasukuni to pan for gold, some low-level casual cultivators who felt that they could not get along in other countries, or who were having a difficult time, also heard the news that the number of monks in Yasukuni had been greatly reduced, and they all worked tirelessly and rushed to Yasukuni across thousands of rivers and mountains regardless of the danger.

As far as Yasukuni during the reconstruction period is concerned, the arrival of these low-level monks has undoubtedly solved the problem of "difficulty in employing labor" and has visibly improved the speed of reconstruction.

In this way, the low-ranking monks received several times the remuneration in the country, and the reconstruction speed of the various forces in Yasukuni was also accelerated a lot, and it can be said that both sides got what they wanted.

And if you want to ask which force in Yasukuni has absorbed the most low-level monks in this process, it is not the two major sects of the Moon Wheel Sect and the Yanyang Sect.

Their sect itself has not been breached, and they have a large number of middle and low-level disciples, so there will be no major shortage of manpower.

The force that really absorbed the most of these low-level cultivators was undoubtedly the Zhou family who had just entered the Qinglian Mountain Range!

The Zhou family not only gave favorable employment conditions, but was even willing to offer lifelong employment contracts to some of them with good conduct, employing them as customers of the Zhou family.

This is a great killer for those casual cultivators!

From having no fixed place to live in peacetime, it is difficult to even have a fixed place to cultivate, to being able to join the Zhou family, which is equivalent to a big force, and become a doorman who eats the Zhou family's meals and takes the Zhou family's money, and is stable for a lifetime.

It can be said that one step out, one step to the sky!

Therefore, even if they knew that this step was not so easy to cross, and they didn't know how many tests they had to go through, those casual cultivators were willing to sharpen their heads and fight for this opportunity.

Thanks to the addition of these casual cultivators, many clansmen of the Zhou family have been liberated, and they finally don't have to work overtime like before, so that even the cultivation time has been squeezed and cut by half.

In fact, the Zhou family members who survived these beast tides are now all worth a lot of money, and they have gained a lot in the beast tide.

It will take them a while to transform what they have harvested into actual cultivation for growth, and resources into their own cultivation strength.

Just like Zhou Chun's view all along, the war in the immortal cultivation world has always been a combination of danger and opportunity.

After a war, as long as you don't lose completely, just like Qinglian Guan, you can basically have a good harvest.

The Zhou family can have today's achievements, but also because of the war after war, the latecomers can catch up, surpassing those local Jindan families who have developed steadily for hundreds of thousands of years!

Time passed, and before I knew it, the beast tide had ended for ten years.

After ten years of construction by the Zhou family, the Qinglian Mountain Range has finally recovered some of its original weather, and there is a trace of the scene of the blessed land of the immortal family.

And the new generation of the Zhou family was also born here.

The clansmen of this generation are already "hundred" generations.

After the Zhou family took root in Jiufengling, Zhou Mingde, Zhou Chongshan, Zhou Daoyi and other Zhou family elders discussed together, and finalized the sixteen characters of "Heaven and earth are clear, worship the Tao and keep the family, think about the source of righteousness, and have lofty aspirations", and stipulate that a generation will be changed every 50 years.

Up to now, as the monks of the Zhou family's "Yuan" generation have also begun to give birth to offspring, these sixteen generations are no longer enough.

Fortunately, Zhou Mingde noticed this in the early years, and made relevant preparations in advance, and continued another sixteen characters on the basis of the original sixteen characters.

This new succession of characters, starting with the word "hundred", is "Baifu Rongqing, Yule Xuanguang, Wenchang Wusheng, Ze Chuan Eternal".

According to the calculation of the fifty-year generation, these sixteen characters are sixteen generations, and they can be used for another eight hundred years!

On this day, accompanied by a long dragon groan sounded from Qinglian Peak, a silver dragon suddenly rose from a waterhole somewhere on the mountain, soared into the sky, and danced happily in the sky.

However, after continuing to swallow the fourth-order middle-grade three-legged thunder gull demon pill, Lei Jiao finally broke through to the fourth-order middle-grade and became the fourth fourth-order middle-grade spiritual pet under Zhou Chun's seat.

Originally, it was the second spirit pet under Zhou Chun's seat to break through the fourth order, and it had awakened the bloodline inheritance and mastered the cultivation method of Tuna, so it stands to reason that its cultivation speed was a cut faster than that of other demon beasts.

It's just that he has been bleeding and plucking scales before, and he has delayed his cultivation too much, and unlike the Flame Hell Fire Phoenix and the Golden Armor Negative Mountain Turtle Stone, they have had many adventures and have grown rapidly like a rocket.

It wasn't until the previous time that Zhou Chun beheaded two fourth-order thunder-attribute demon beasts in the beast tide and won two fourth-order demon pills for it, which gave it the opportunity to break through.

And before it, Mu Mei Mu Sang also relied on the opportunity he had in the Misty Immortal Ridge at the beginning, as well as a small opportunity in the wilderness two years ago, and barely broke through to the fourth-order middle grade one step ahead of it.

Since then, Zhou Chun has five spirit pets under his seat, and only the golden-winged tiger has not broken through.

But in fact, the Goldfinch Tiger is the one who is the least panicked.

Because it has the dual attributes of gold and wind, among the demon pills in Zhou Chun's hands, it fits the most.

It only needs to refine the demon pill step by step, and it won't take long to break through to the realm of a fourth-order mid-grade demon beast.

Even as long as Zhou Chun kept that fourth-order high-grade golden light unicorn demon pill for it, it would be very smooth to break through the fourth-order high-grade demon beast realm in the future.

At this time, Lei Jiao roamed freely in the sky, and after venting the joy in his heart, he quickly flew down into the clouds and landed in Zhou Chun's cave.

And Zhou Chun and Su Yuzhen had already been alarmed by the movement it made, and they both came out of the cultivation room at this time.

Seeing it fall at this time, Zhou Chun also stroked his palms with a smile on his face and smiled: "Not bad, yes, in vain, you have finally succeeded in breaking through." ”

"Congratulations to you, husband, and you have another strong arm."

Su Yuzhen also congratulated Zhou Chun with a smile.

She has almost lived in the Zhou family for a long time now, not only because the cultivation environment here is better, but also because the ancestors of the Su family are no longer afraid of her living in the Zhou family for a long time as before, which has caused her to be alienated from the juniors of the Su family.

As Zhou Chun's Taoist companion, she was naturally happy and happy from the bottom of her heart for Zhou Chun's improvement in cultivation and strength.

Next, Zhou Mingde, who was also in the Qinglian Mountains, also came over to congratulate him, and he was very happy about this matter.

A few years ago, Zhou Daoyi's Qingjiao Qingqing successfully broke through to the fourth order, and had been sent back to the Qinglian Mountain Range by Lin Hongyu, and now it is placed in a water vein lake in the Qinglian Mountain Range, with special people to feed and take care of it.

Now that Lei Jiao has broken through to the fourth-order middle-grade demon beast in vain, the Zhou family relies on these two fourth-order dragons, which is completely enough to create a dragon blood spirit object and dragon blood demon beast production line.

This has a huge effect on the improvement of the overall strength of the family.

At this time, after congratulating Zhou Chun, Zhou Mingde also took this opportunity to say: "By the way, Zhengchun, recently a clansman in the family put forward an idea, and wanted to apply to Ling to obtain a few drops of fire phoenix essence blood for cultivating new varieties of demon beasts, do you want to give support and encouragement?" ”

Hearing his words, Zhou Chun's expression moved, and he couldn't help asking, "Oh, I don't know what to expect?" ”

"Do you remember a low-level demon beast in the family, the Colorful Pheasant? It's a kind of demon bird that we got from their family's mountain gate after we destroyed the Jiang family in Lingzhou! ”

Zhou Mingde said in a low voice.

"It seems to be a bit impressive." Zhou Chun nodded slightly, indicating that he remembered.

Seeing this, Zhou Mingde continued: "Five years ago, some clansmen found that the rooster in a free-range group of colorful pheasants died, and found a second-order feather in the chicken farm, which was suspected to be the feathers of a second-order demon beast red feather pheasant, and then found a few eggs that were different from other eggs! ”

"When those different eggs hatched, they hatched a kind of colorful pheasant that can spit demon fire, not only larger than ordinary colorful pheasants, but also has a much stronger flight ability, and its combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of ordinary colorful pheasants!"

"Therefore, some clansmen have put forward a conjecture that the meager phoenix bird bloodline in the body of the colorful pheasant may have been stimulated and affected by the bloodline of the red feather fire pheasant, and some dominant mutations have occurred, and perhaps it can be fed its fire phoenix essence blood to promote its evolution and evolve into an intermediate demon beast with the fire phoenix bloodline!"

As soon as he finished saying this, Zhou Chun understood.

Then he said very happily: "Since this is the case, then of course there is no problem on the junior's side of this matter, you see when the junior wants it, as long as the junior is in the family, he can take blood from him at any time!" ”

"This is not in a hurry, those colorful pheasants have not yet grown to the first order, and they have not left heirs, and when the time comes, the old man will come to you again."

Zhou Mingde waved his hand, indicating that he was not in a hurry.

Next, the two talked about some things in the family, and Zhou Mingde left first.

Now Zhou Mingde is personally handling all kinds of affairs of the Zhou family, and Zhou Chun is like him before, and he is the shopkeeper.

All this is so that Zhou Chun can concentrate on cultivation and break through the late stage of Jindan as soon as possible.

Under normal circumstances, only some things that Zhou Mingde thinks are more important will come over to Zhou Chun to discuss and ask his opinion.

Zhou Chun himself usually doesn't pay attention to family affairs.

He is now under a lot of pressure, and he must break through to the late stage of Jindan as soon as possible and turn into a pill as soon as possible.

Because he knows very well that if he can't get married as soon as possible, the Qinglian Mountain Range, which the Zhou family has invested heavily in and a lot of manpower to build, is likely to make wedding dresses for others in the end!

Time flies, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, seven years have flown by.

Zhou Chun and his five-headed spirit pet have been cultivating silently, and rarely left the family mountain gate.

Occasionally, a monk from the Yasukuni period, or a monk from the Jindan period who traveled to Yasukuni, came to visit him, and he only talked with him about Taoism, but basically did not travel far.

Even if a certain Jindan late stage monk of the Moon Wheel Sect held an exchange meeting to invite him, he was also shirked by him.

In this way, I don't want to be distracted anymore, and I also deliberately keep a low profile.

On this day, Zhou Chun met a clansman he hadn't seen for a long time, a junior who had left the family and traveled for decades.

"Junior Zhou Zhiqian, meet the patriarch."

In the cave mansion, a middle-aged man in a silver robe with a long beard paid tribute to Zhou Chunshen with a respectful expression.

His person was Zhou Zhiqian, the high-grade spiritual root qualification clan member of the Zhou family who embarked on the road of sword cultivation.

At the beginning, this person insisted on taking the path of sword cultivation, and Zhou Chun allowed him to leave the family to travel around the world and hone his swordsmanship.

Now that decades have passed, this person has successfully opened up the Purple Mansion, and his aura is even sharper, very sharp, and he has obviously made great achievements in the way of sword cultivation.

At this time, after carefully looking at this junior, Zhou Chun couldn't help but show a satisfied look and nodded: "Yes, you can successfully open up the Purple Mansion alone without relying on the help of your family, it seems that you have not wasted your time in the past few decades, and you have successfully found your own path!" ”

Hearing his words, Zhou Zhiqian hurriedly replied: "The younger generation can have such an achievement, all thanks to the guidance and care of the patriarch at the beginning, if it were not for the life-saving things you gave back then, the younger generation would have returned to a foreign land long ago!" ”

After speaking, he whispered with a look of guilt on his face: "It's a pity that when the beast tide broke out a few years ago, the younger generation was in a distant place, and it happened to break through the great realm of retreat, and I couldn't rush back to the family to contribute to the family, which is really ashamed of the cultivation of you and the family, the patriarch!" ”

"You don't need to feel guilty about this matter, in that situation at that time, there was no more than you, and no less than you, even if you came back in time, it didn't change the overall situation."

Zhou Chun shook his head slightly, and did not have any intention of blaming this junior.

Then he smiled at him and said: "On the contrary, you can now open up the Purple Mansion and return, and return to the family when the family needs to employ people, which just shows your loyalty to the family!" ”

"Yes, the younger generation must serve the family well in the future, and live up to the cultivation and high expectations of the patriarch!"

Zhou Zhiqian replied in a solemn voice.

Hearing his firm and powerful words, Zhou Chun also admired this junior even more in his heart.

He quickly nodded at him and said, "Since you have successfully opened up the Purple Mansion, you should be promoted to the elder of the family according to the family rules, this sword grinding stone will be regarded as a gift from this seat, and it will be yours in the future." ”

As he spoke, he took out the sword grinding stone from the treasure room in the cave mansion and gave it to Zhou Zhiqian.

Seeing that he really fulfilled his original promise and gave him this sword grinding stone after opening up the Purple Mansion, Zhou Zhiqian was also very surprised.

Hurriedly holding this stone with both hands, as if holding a holy relic in his hand, he raised it above his head and saluted Zhou Chunshen and said: "Junior, thank you for the love of the patriarch, thank you for the treasure!" ”

"Work hard, if you can really go through this sword cultivation path in the future, and succeed in this way, then my Zhou family will be able to have one more lineage in the future, and then you will be the ancestor of the first line, and you will always be remembered and praised by the descendants of my Zhou family!"

Zhou Chun took the opportunity to encourage this junior, drew a big pie, and let him retreat.

For him, who has now targeted Hua Dan to marry a baby, a junior in the Purple Mansion Period, at most, is just a few words of praise like this, and he will not pay too much attention to it.

Another two years passed, and when Zhou Chun was cultivating daily, his mind suddenly moved, and he vaguely connected with a few faint consciousnesses.

When he found his target with this faint mental connection, his mouth opened wide in surprise.

I saw that on the stump of the "Qingling Immortal Gui" next to the Spring of the Spiritual Eye, there were four small white and transparent insects crawling.

Each of these four small insects is less than a finger long, about the thickness of chopsticks, and looks like a silkworm baby that has not yet spun silk.

Their bodies are white and transparent, and even the eyes can't see a bit of black, if it weren't for the difference in the color of the stump under them, Zhou Chun might not be able to see them with the naked eye.

But if you feel it carefully, you will find that there is a faint aura of mana on their bodies.

"Is this really a six-winged ice silkworm? And where are their wings? ”

Zhou Chun looked at the four white silkworms on the stump, his face full of surprise.

It turned out that these four white insects hatched from the eggs of those suspected "six-winged ice silkworms".

At this time, the cocoon that wrapped these eggs was still on top of a tree root, and there was no one of the original nine eggs in it!

As for why only four small worms hatch from nine eggs, it is also easy to understand.

Many oviparous creatures have a habit of devouring their siblings after birth.

Maybe it didn't just hatch four worms at first, or maybe the four worms that hatched ate the eggs of the other unhatched worms.

Anyway, only these four bugs have survived.

However, whether these four insects were the legendary six-winged ice silkworm or not, Zhou Chun was not sure at this time.

After all, he didn't see wings in them.

But what is certain is that the origin of these white bugs must be extraordinary.

Therefore, after Zhou Chun looked at them in surprise, he began to try to feed them with various foods.

After some experiments, Zhou Chun found that these white insects didn't seem to be picky eaters, whether it was those spiritual wood leaves containing spiritual power, or demon beast rations and demon beast meat, they would eat them, but they didn't eat much.

And they especially like to stay on that stump, once they are placed in other places, even if it is the [Millennium Cold Jade] that Zhou Chun deliberately took out, they will become a little restless.

This also surprised him.

In this regard, he can only explain that the four insects are "recognizing the bed", and the current consciousness is weak, and they only regard this stump as a safe place.

And he just silently observes and records their growth and changes, to see what they will grow into later.

That is, half a year after the four small insects broke out of the cocoon, the Zhou family achieved an important breakthrough in the beast control together.

After receiving a few drops of fire phoenix essence blood from Zhou Chun, a junior of the Zhou family named Zhou Gaoping successfully cultivated a second-order phoenix blood demon beast colorful phoenix-tailed pheasant!

The appearance of this colorful phoenix-tailed pheasant represents that the Zhou family has added a new development direction of phoenix blood demon beasts in addition to dragon blood demon beasts.
