Zhou Yuanlian's soul card is broken!

When Zhou Chun arrived at the ancestral temple, he saw the soul tablet fragments broken into more than a dozen pieces at a glance.

This basically announced that Zhou Yuanlian, a golden elixir stage monk, had fallen.

If this matter is true, Zhou Yuanlian is the first golden elixir-level monk to die in the Zhou family in the past thousand years.

And considering that she went to a foreign land like the Yuan Demon Realm, even if they knew she had died, the Zhou family might not be able to avenge her!

Therefore, Zhou Chun, Zhou Mingde, Zhou Daoyi and other important figures of the Zhou family looked at the soul tablet fragments on the altar table, but they did not say anything for a long time.

"Xiao Lian has been to the Yuan Demon Realm for many years. Since nothing happened before, it means that she is still very cautious. Now that the soul card suddenly broke, could it be that she encountered something in the process of searching for the inheritance of the "Ten Thousand Poisons Manual"? In mortal danger?"

After a long silence, Zhou Mingde was the first to speak up and talk about his speculation.

Zhou Chun shook his head slightly and said: "There is no point in guessing these things now. Let's talk about it. Do you want me to go to the Yuan Demon Realm to investigate this matter?"

"This is inappropriate!"

Zhou Mingde immediately expressed his opposition, looked at him with a solemn tone and said: "Although the Yuan Demon Realm is also the region of my human race, the attitude of the demon cultivators there towards immortal cultivators like us is no better than that of the foreign races, and may even be worse. Masazumi, if you go there, you will easily be besieged if your whereabouts are exposed!"

"Furthermore, none of us know where Xiaolian's accident happened. The Yuan Demon Realm is vast. If Zhengchun goes to investigate, it will not take ten and a half months to get results. If it is delayed for too long, the family will If something happens, it will be a small loss but a big loss!"

Having said this, he also winked at Zhou Daoyi.

Seeing this, Zhou Daoyi nodded quickly and said: "What my uncle said makes sense. Since the Little Lotus Soul Cards have been broken, there is actually no point in investigating the cause now. There is no need for you, Zhengchun, to risk your life."

"Furthermore, wasn't there a junior who practiced the "Ten Thousand Poisons Manual" who went to the Yuan Demon Realm with Xiaolian? You can ask someone to go to that junior's family to see if her soul card is still there It's intact. If it's intact, I can ask for details after she comes back!"

Seeing that both elders objected to his own investigation of the details, Zhou Chun also frowned slightly and fell into silence.

After pondering like this for a while, he sighed and nodded: "Okay, then let someone go to Wu Xiaoyou's family to ask about the situation."

This answer made both Zhou Mingde and Zhou Mingde secretly sigh in relief.

Next, Zhou Chun gave an order, Xu Fu, the golden elixir elder of the Zhou family, personally took his handwritten letter to Wu Yuzhu's family to inquire about the situation.

It had only been less than two months since Zhou Chun had waited for an answer that made him not sure whether he should be happy or regretful.

According to the information provided by the Wu family, there is no problem with Wu Yuzhu's soul card.

This means that she is safe at least for now.

But it is still unknown whether it was because she and Zhou Yuanlian chose to act separately or they were captured alive.

Since he could not risk going to the Yuan Demon Realm, Zhou Chun could only continue to wait.

Now that Wu Yuzhu thought about it, she also knew about Zhou Yuanlian's death. If she had not been captured alive, she would have found a way to return to the world of heaven and earth to report the situation to the Zhou family.

Zhou Chun will then know how Zhou Yuanlian died and who the murderer is.

As for Zhou Yuanlian's death, the Zhou family did not make any announcement.

First of all, for the Zhou family, which is on the rise, once this matter is announced, it will definitely be harmful rather than helpful.

Secondly, it is also for the sake of the overall situation of the family. The existence of Zhou Yuanlian, a golden elixir stage poison cultivator, actually has a considerable deterrent effect on external forces.

Therefore, as long as it can be concealed, it is better to conceal this matter as much as possible.

It may be that what is lost is mulberry and elm is lost, and what is gained is east.

Not even two years had passed since Zhou Yuanlian's accident, but Zhou Zhiqian, who had failed in the family's competition for the elixir-forming spiritual object, returned as a golden elixir-level monk.

This incident also caused quite a stir in the Zhou family, and even Zhou Chun went out to meet this junior.

"Okay, okay, I am indeed right about you. You are able to form elixirs on your own without relying on family support. Among the many golden elixir stage monks in our Zhou family, you are the first one, Zhiqian. You are indeed ambitious!!"

In the cave, Zhou Chun looked at the imposing middle-aged man in black in front of him, smiling with relief and praising him repeatedly.

In fact, he was not very optimistic about this junior at the beginning, because the path he chose was very bumpy and difficult.

But now it seems that sometimes, some people just need a rough road to spur them on.

The so-called jade is useless if it is not polished.

Zhou Zhiqian's current success also reflects this.

Facing Zhou Chun's praise, Zhou Zhiqian also bowed slightly and said, "This junior is able to achieve what he is today, thanks to the guidance and help of the clan leader. The clan leader's kindness, this junior may not dare to forget in this life. !”

"Hey, we are all a family. There is no such thing as kindness or kindness. Your achievement today is the best way to repay me!"

Zhou Chun waved his hand and said in an encouraging tone, his closeness was beyond words.

In the past, he was not optimistic about Zhou Zhiqian because he felt that the path chosen by him was full of ruggedness and that he might have wasted his own qualifications and talents, making it difficult for him to achieve great things.

But it's different now.

Now that Zhou Zhiqian has successfully formed the elixir, it can be said that he has fully fulfilled his talent and qualifications, and in the future he will become a powerful warrior of the Zhou family with his sword in his hands.

As the clan leader, Zhou Chun must of course win over and get close to these outstanding juniors.

The key is to cultivate with his status. Doing so will not appear snobbish, but will only make the younger generations happy and feel that their hard work has value and has been recognized.

For example, at this time, Zhou Zhiqian could not conceal his excitement and joy after hearing Zhou Chun's intimate words as an elder. He quickly responded respectfully: "What the patriarch taught is that it is the junior who has seen outsiders. The junior I will definitely remember the patriarch’s teachings from now on.”

"That's right, we're all a family, what's the point of being outside?"

Zhou Chun nodded slightly, then raised his hand, and a stream of dark purple light flew out from the treasure room deep in the cave, fell into his hand, and manifested a dark purple flying sword.

"This [Xuan Mo Sword] is a trophy that I got before. Although it is only a middle-grade magic weapon, the materials available are extraordinary. It is made from [Black Ink Sword] mixed with [Purple Star Copper]. It should be comparable to You fit in perfectly.”

I saw him introducing the origin of the flying sword in his hand, and then lightly tossing the flying sword to the junior in front of him: "This thing will be regarded as a pill-forming gift from me. I hope you can rely on it in the future." This sword will help the family to kill enemies bravely and promote the prestige of our clan!"

When Zhou Zhiqian took out the flying sword, he couldn't move his eyes away from the [Xuanmo Sword].

Seeing him throwing the flying sword at this time, he immediately reached out and took the flying sword like a conditioned reflex.

After he finished speaking, he held the flying sword in both hands and bowed to him and saluted: "Thank you to the clan leader for giving me the sword. I will definitely live up to the clan leader's high expectations. I am willing to use the three-foot sword in my hand to kill all incoming enemies." enemy!"

In this way, he used words to win over and get close to him, and he also gave him the magic weapon Flying Sword. After fully demonstrating his importance, Zhou Chun also asked this junior to step down without hesitation.

Zhou Daoyi also knew what he meant, so he organized a golden elixir celebration for Zhou Zhiqian in a grand manner to show his respect, which was also a kind of compensation for his previous failure in competing for elixir-forming spiritual objects.

At the same time, Zhou Zhiqian's success is undoubtedly an inspiration to other younger monks of the Zhou family.

Even if they fail to compete for pill-forming spiritual objects within the family in the future, they may not necessarily give up the plan of forming pills. Perhaps they can follow the example of their predecessors and go out to look for other opportunities.

Of course, what's more important is that after Zhou Zhiqian became an elixir, some monks in the Zhou family who liked kendo but had doubts and worries about this path could finally make up their minds and follow their inner preferences to choose their future path.

As a result, he fulfilled Zhou Chun's original expectations for him, creating a unique path among the Zhou family's existing inheritance and creating the Zhou family's sword inheritance.

And just three years after Zhou Zhiqian successfully returned from the pill formation, Nangong Qingqing also visited the Zhou family.

After years of collecting, he could not find the [Geng Gold] spiritual object that was enough to exchange for the [Immortality Grass], but he did find an important auxiliary drug that Zhou Chun needed to refine the [Purple Flower Jiangzhu Pill], and it was the last The missing auxiliary medicine.

So when he added another thousand-year-old medicinal plant, Zhou Chun looked at the friendship between the two and exchanged the remaining [Eternal Life Grass] in his hand with a medicine that was more than three thousand years old.

As a result, Zhou Chun only had two [Immortality Grass] plants in his hand that were over five thousand years old and could be used to refine [Jiazi Immortality Pill].

However, after gathering the alchemy materials of [Zihua Jiangzhu Pill], he obviously had higher expectations.

It's a pity that the refining difficulty of [Zihua Jiangzhu Pill] is still higher than that of [Jiazi Immortality Pill]. With only one piece of material, Luo Qingni did not dare to refine it for the time being.

So if Zhou Chun wants to try the efficacy of [Zihua Jiangzhu Pill], he may have to wait for many years before he has the chance.

…

Yuelunjiaoshanmen.

On this day, Master Baiyue arrived at Master Yinyue's cave with a happy face and a piece of information he had just obtained.

"Elder Taishang, you see, this is the result of Elder Guo's personal investigation. Now it can be confirmed that the Zhou family does have a secret waterway leading directly to Longyuan Ze, and has been operating deep in the wilderness for many years, establishing Multiple bases!”

"In this way, the authenticity of the information we learned before can be confirmed, and the reason for the Zhou family's rapid development over the years will also be revealed!"

'Furthermore, according to Elder Guo's investigation, the cooperation between the Zhou family and the scaled frog aliens should have never been severed. Now even most of the scaled frogs along the Longyuanze River have become vassals of the Zhou family, collecting Longyuanze for them. Curiosities in the waters within! ’

In the cave, Master Bai Yue vigorously waved the information jade slip in his hand, and spoke the contents in an excited tone.

And these words also made Master Yinyue couldn't help but be moved, and his eyes showed a terrifying light.

I saw him immediately clapping his hands and cheering: "Okay, very good!"

"I'm just saying, how can a small family like the Zhou family with a shallow foundation, even if it occupies the Qinglian Mountains, maintain high welfare and encourage births within the family for so many years? It turns out that this is the reason why they made their fortune! "

"What a good Zhou family, what a good Zhou Zhengchun! They hide it well!"

Seeing this, Master Yinyue also said in a timely manner: "From the intelligence point of view, the Zhou family should have discovered that underground waterway a long time ago. They were able to know the news of the incoming beast tide several times in advance, probably because of the arrangements there. manpower to report in advance.”

"And based on the information we have dug up now, we can confirm one thing. The Zhou family did secretly capture many casual cultivators and send them to the wilderness to mine for them. Over the years, they have been collecting mortals with spiritual root qualifications and sending them there. While training them into domestic servants and dead warriors, they will open up the wilderness for them!"

"Even many of the monks in the wilderness today are descendants of those people!"

Hearing his words, Master Yin Yue's eyes flashed with strange light.

But after a moment, Master Yinyue shook his head slightly and said: "If you want to bring down the Zhou family from this aspect, it is impossible. Now they are in a great situation and it is difficult to control them. What happened back then has been a long time ago, and the relevant personnel will He is not dead, and he has become a high-ranking member of the Zhou family, so he will not come out to testify!"

"And even if this matter is confirmed, apart from some damage to the Zhou family's reputation, it will actually not hurt them at all."

When Master Baiyue heard this, he not only frowned slightly, but then continued: "Then how about starting from the scaled frog alien race? Collusion with alien races is a taboo and a major crime. Once this matter is exposed, it should be able to save the Zhou family from death. Take off your skin!"

"No, the scaled frog aliens don't even have a fourth-level existence. These small aliens are not even looked at by our human clan factions. Once we announce this news, the Zhou family can still argue that they enslaved these people. Wait for the little alien race to increase their momentum!"

Master Yin Yue shook his head again, denying Master Bai Yue's statement.

Then he straightened his face, looked at Zhenyue Worshiper with a serious face and said: "In this way, you use this token to contact the principals of the branches outside the sect and let them go to the wilderness through that underground waterway. , wipe out the stronghold established by the Zhou family there, and try to bring back as many dead soldiers and slaves as possible trained by the Zhou family there, and let these people spread and publicize the Zhou family's atrocities!"

Having said this, he also warned in a low voice: "Remember, no matter whether this operation succeeds or fails, the existence of our sect must not be revealed!"

"Yes, this junior knows what to do!"

Master Baiyue felt a chill in his heart and immediately responded solemnly.
