Chapter 423: First hearing about the Yuan Demon Realm(1/2)
In fact, if Lin Hongyu did not come to Tianyuan Immortal City, Zhou Chunben also planned to find time to go back to the family and send back the Foundation Establishment Pill in his hand.
But now that Lin Hongyu has arrived at Tianyuan Immortal City, Zhou Chun naturally doesn't have to waste time traveling there.
After handing the Foundation Establishment Pill to Lin Hongyu, he wrote a few letters home on the spot and asked her to take it back to his elders and relatives before saying goodbye and leaving.
After returning to the cave, Zhou Chun took out the family letters that Lin Hongyu had brought over and read them one by one.
There are three family letters in total, written by Zhou Mingde, Zhou Daoyi and Su Yuzhen.
In Zhou Mingde's home letter, he was mainly concerned about Zhou Chun's cultivation situation, and incidentally talked about some of the more important things that have happened in the Jingguo and Fengguo immortal circles in the past ten years.
Zhou Daoyi's family letters were ghostwritten by him. They mainly explained the detailed changes in the Zhou family's development over the years, including various data, etc. The content was the largest, with tens of thousands of words.
Su Yuzhen's family letter is the real family letter. The letter describes his longing for his Taoist companion and some changes in the Su family.
The first thing Zhou Chun read was Su Yuzhen's family letter.
This family letter omits the words of longing, concern and advice. There are two most valuable pieces of information. One is that Su Yuzhen's aunt Su Yunniang has successfully formed an elixir and has become a golden elixir elder of the Yuelun Sect.
Because of this incident, the status of the Su family in Jiangzhou suddenly became even higher, and they were vaguely known as the number one family of immortal cultivators in Jingguo.
After all, no other Jindan family has two Jindan monks.
One is that the Su family held a celebration ceremony to celebrate the success of Su Yunniang's elixir formation, and invited monks from the Zhou family and other in-law families to participate. The younger generations of each family also participated in a martial arts competition and won a lot of prizes.
Among the Zhou family's Qi-refining period juniors, a junior named Zhou Sizhen actually won the first place in the Qi-refining period and took away the "Foundation Building Pill" prize prepared by the Su family.
For this reason, the ancestor of the Su family felt a little shameless, so he severely reprimanded the younger generations of the Su family, and privately scolded Zhou Chun in front of Su Yuzhen.
Su Yuzhen just wrote this matter as an anecdote, saying that the ancestor of the Su family actually did not mean to blame the Zhou family, but just hated it for not fighting.
"I didn't expect that my aunt Su Yunniang actually successfully formed the elixir. This is really a happy event!"
"There is also this boy Sizhen. If I remember correctly, he seems to have the same wind attribute spiritual root qualification as Xu Fu. It's just that his spiritual root level is not quite the same. He is only a middle-grade spiritual root. I didn't expect that he would be able to shine this time.
!”
Zhou Chun put down the letter from home and remembered the contents, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
After all, he and Su Yuzhen were Taoist lovers. Su Yunniang, Su Yuzhen's biological aunt, successfully formed the elixir, which meant that he had another elder at the golden elixir stage, which was naturally a good thing.
And Zhou Sizhen, a junior, won the first place in the same period in the martial arts competition held by the Su family, which not only greatly increased the Zhou family's reputation, but also really won a big benefit for himself. As the patriarch, Zhou Chun also benefited from it.
feel happy.
Next, Zhou Chun checked the family letters of Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi one after another.
After watching this for who knows how long, Zhou Chun finally pulled out his consciousness, leaned back on the chair with a slightly solemn expression, closed his eyes and began to think.
A lot of things will happen to a family in more than ten years, both good and bad.
In the past ten years or so, the Zhou family has generally shown an upward momentum of development.
Especially with the expansion of the express delivery business, the Zhou family has made great progress in both income and reputation.
But maybe they saw that the Zhou family was developing too fast, and some forces were unhappy because of this.
In recent years, there have been more attacks on the Zhou family's courier personnel and transportation teams, causing the Zhou family to lose a lot of manpower and money.
But these are nothing. Now the "Zhou Tong Tianxia" trading company has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even if the letters and goods are lost due to some attacks, as long as the compensation is in place, many monks will choose to understand.
Even if someone wants to use this to cause trouble and damage the reputation of the Zhou family, it will be difficult to achieve success.
This is the advantage of being first.
But the two things mentioned in Zhou Mingde's letter made Zhou Chun feel uneasy.
One thing is the action of Qinglianguan.
Just five years ago, Qinglian Temple suddenly announced that it would form a joint patrol team to crack down on bandit cultivators within the territory.
The top leaders of this joint inspection team are all monks from the Qinglian Guanzi Mansion, but the inspection team members are all drawn from various powerful and aristocratic cultivating families.
The Zhou family was also assigned two patrol team spots.
And according to Qinglian Temple, the patrol team has the right to recruit monks from the Immortal Cultivation Family under its command to coordinate operations when enforcing the law.
This approach is equivalent to using people from various immortal cultivating families to form a standing army for Qinglian Temple, and the command power is completely in the hands of Qinglian Temple.
The key is that Qinglian Temple does not cost a penny, and each family needs to provide additional subsidies to the monks who go to the inspection team.
In Zhou Chun's view, Qinglian Temple's move can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Not only did they spend a penny to obtain a mid-level combat force that could be mobilized to any place at any time, but they also weakened the development potential of the large and aristocratic cultivating families.
After all, with a limited number of foundation-building monks, if a few are dispatched to the patrol team at a time, the remaining foundation-building monks will have to share the tasks among these few people, thereby reducing their own training time and time to go out and look for opportunities.
That's all. In addition to the foundation-building monks, the Zhou family also has many second-level monsters that can be used, so they will not be greatly affected by this.
But Qinglian Temple will definitely not do such a thing for no reason.
Since they are doing this now, it means that there is another intention behind this matter.
Thinking of the fact that Master Qingxiao's life was running out, Zhou Chun felt that Qinglianguan's move might be to prepare in advance for the possible turmoil after Master Qingxiao's death.
The second thing that made Zhou Chun feel uneasy came from Feng Guo.
The Corpse Demon Cult of Feng Country was originally at an absolute disadvantage under the joint attack of Zhengyang Palace and Jingyang Sect. Seeing that the throne of the largest force in Feng Country was about to become unstable.
But who would have thought that a force would suddenly intervene and enter Feng Country to help the Corpse Demon Sect.
This force that helps the Corpse Demon Sect is not a righteous force, but a large force called the "Blood and Bone Sect".
It is said that the disciples of the "Blood and Bone Sect" like to sacrifice and refine magical weapons such as blood knives, blood swords, blood banners, and bone war puppets. These magical weapons have the ability to grow after being refined by the "Blood and Bone Sect"'s special secret method.
, can grow by absorbing the essence, blood and vitality of monks, and can even grow into magic weapons!
After receiving this support, the Corpse Demon Sect not only withstood the offensives of Zhengyang Palace and Jingyang Sect, but even had a tendency to counterattack.
According to the information revealed by Zhengyang Palace, the "Blood Bone Sect" is a force in the Yuan Demon Realm in the west of Fengguo. The inheritance of the Corpse Demon Cult also comes from the Yuan Demon Realm. They believe that this is the influence of the Yuan Demon Realm on the Heavenly Spirit Realm.
Invasion.
It is said that they have begun to convene the Nascent Soul stage masters from various Tianling countries to discuss and request that they jointly send troops to eradicate the two major scourges of the "Blood and Bone Sect" and the Corpse Demon Cult, and completely cut off the minions of the Yuan Demon Realm that extend into the Tianling Realm.
This is also the first time Zhou Chun has heard of the realm of immortality, the Yuan Demon Realm!
According to what Zhou Mingde said in the jade slips, the Yuan Demon Realm is not directly adjacent to the Tianling Realm. The two sides were originally separated by a Jueling Desert that was tens of thousands of miles long. Almost only Golden Core Stage monks could cross that land.
area.
Precisely because of the barrier of the Jueling Desert, even many monks from Fengguo, which is adjacent to the Jueling Desert, do not know the existence of the Yuan Demon Realm.
But no one expected that the Yuan Demon Realm, which had been at peace with the Tianling Earth Realm for many years, would suddenly invade the Tianling Earth Realm.
Moreover, the inheritance of the Corpse Demon Cult actually comes from the Yuan Demon Realm, and now it can be said that it has become the leader of the Yuan Demon Realm!
"This is really a constant cutting and chaos, and the water in Fengguo is getting muddier and muddier!"
Zhou Chun couldn't help but sigh, feeling troubled.
Although the current chaos is only in the Feng Kingdom, everyone knows that if the Yuan Demon Realm really wants to invade the Tianling Realm, then Jingguo, which is adjacent to the Feng Kingdom, will definitely not be able to escape.
Not to mention Jingguo, Chengguo, Shenguo and other countries that belong to the realm of heaven, spirit and earth, none of them can escape.
After all, the combat capability of one side of the Immortal Realm far exceeds that of a sect like the Hualong Sect.
"I hope the war won't come too soon and I can be given another few decades to prepare!"
Zhou Chun said silently, but did not dare to have too much hope.
But in this case, the few things he wanted to do when he came to the Great Zhou Kingdom should be completed at a faster pace.
If the elixirs are well prepared, even if a war does break out, he can still find an opportunity to take the elixirs to improve his cultivation.
There are also magic weapons and spiritual materials such as "Huanglong Stone". If enough quantities are collected to successfully complete the forbidden formation of the [Nine Palaces Yellow Dragon Formation], the Zhou family will truly have an unbreakable mountain gate, and there is no need to fear during the war.
Enemy personnel harassed us behind enemy lines.
In view of this, Zhou Chun thought for a moment before heading to Luo Qingni's cave to visit.
"You want to ask me to help exchange for magic weapons and spiritual materials like [Huanglong Stone]?"
Inside "Qingni Residence", Luo Qingni was slightly stunned after learning Zhou Chun's intention. She was surprised by his request.
After all, she is only a master of alchemy, not a master of weapon refining. When looking for magic weapons and spiritual materials, wouldn't it be more appropriate to look for masters of weapon refining?
Seeing the change in her expression, Zhou Chun knew that this matter was a bit embarrassing, but he still said: "Zhang also knows that this matter is a bit difficult, but Zhang is really anxious to exchange for this thing now. If Fellow Daoist Luo can help, Zhang
You will definitely be rewarded heavily!”
"Well, since Fellow Daoist Zhang has said so, Qing Ni will give it a try. It's just that [Huanglong Stone], a magic weapon and spiritual material, has many uses, and those who possess it may not be willing to exchange it easily. Fellow Daoist Zhang must give enough
Only things that touch people will do!”
Luo Qingni looked at Zhou Chun, and after pondering for a while, she agreed.
"Thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Luo!"
Zhou Chun bowed slightly and gave a deep gift to express his gratitude.
Then he immediately took out a prepared exchange list and handed it to Luo Qingni.
On this list, he listed various things he had in hand that could be exchanged, including many elixirs produced by ancient ruins.
