Cultivating Immortals in the Family: Rising from Beast Familiarity

Chapter 41 The patriarch born in vain

According to Zhou Daoquan, the monster that was conceived in the snake egg in his hand is a middle-level monster named Silver Lightning Thunder Python.

This silver lightning thunder python is proficient in thunder travel spells and is very powerful.

What's even more rare is that, like the Celestial Cloud Python of patriarch Zhou Daoyi, the Silver Lightning Thunder Python also has the blood of a dragon, and has the potential to be promoted to a high-level monster or even a top-level monster.

As for why the silver thunder python in this snake egg hadn't developed a normal life before, Zhou Daoquan guessed it might be because it was a premature egg.

Some pythons do not lay eggs directly, but let the eggs hatch inside the body into baby snakes.

The Silver Lightning Thunder Python also happens to belong to this category.

But I don't know what happened, the snake egg was ejected ahead of time, and it was not re-stuffed by the female snake.

This makes things difficult.

Because it needs the help of the mother to hatch, this premature egg will naturally not be able to continue to develop without the conditions for hatching.

But it may be because of the strong bloodline of the monster beast, or other reasons, it did not become a dead egg due to exhaustion of vitality even though it had not developed and hatched normally for a long time.

As for how Zhou Daoquan made it grow again, he didn't explain that it should involve some information that needs to be kept secret.

In short, now that the snake eggs have been developed normally, they can be hatched by the contract of the immortal cultivator.

At this time, after explaining the whole story to Zhou Chun, Zhou Daoquan stuffed the snake egg into Zhou Chun's hand, and said reluctantly: "Come on, let's make a contract in front of the old man. There is no contract for such a treasure." If not, the old man is really worried about letting you take it away!"

When he said this, his heart was really full of reluctance.

A mid-level monster with great potential to be cultivated like the Silver Lightning Thunder Python is the favorite monster of a beast-monitoring monk like him, let alone a dragon descendant with the blood of a dragon.

If this silver thunder python is hatched and cultivated by him, he is sure to promote it to a second-level monster within ten years, and to a second-level top-grade monster within 50 years.

At that time, after confirming that it was the egg of the Silver Lightning Thunder Python, he also became possessive for a while, wanting to hide it.

But in the end, he still defeated the greed in his heart, and did not really do such a shameless thing of embezzling the treasures of the younger generation.

Of course Zhou Chun didn't know the struggles that Zhou Daoquan had done in his heart, he was just full of gratitude and admiration for Zhou Daoquan at the moment.

After Zhou Daoquan's explanation, he also knew very well how precious the silver lightning thunder python egg in his hand was.

It is no exaggeration to say that if this item is auctioned, at least it can be sold for thousands of spirit coins, or even tens of thousands.

However, Zhou Daoquan was able to return the object to him for free without charging any fees. This kind of noble personal sentiment and morality certainly deserves his admiration and gratitude.

He chose to come to Zhou's house in the first place, and he really came to the right place!
"Yes, this junior will contract this thing."

Zhou Chun nodded emphatically, and then, in front of Zhou Daoquan, began to describe the "soul-controlling blood array".

After he completed the contract with the Silver Lightning Thunder Python Egg, the reluctance in Zhou Daoquan's heart was completely cut off.

An egg can only be contracted once, even if someone kills Zhou Chun now, he will not be able to contract again with this silver lightning thunder python egg.

"Relevant information about the silver lightning thunder python, as well as some cultivation methods summarized by the old man, are all in this jade slip. You can take it back and take a closer look. If you encounter any problems or do not understand in the cultivation process in the future , You can also come to ask the old man at any time."

As Zhou Daoquan said, he reached out and patted the storage bag on his waist, took out a bamboo slip about one foot long and two feet wide and handed it to Zhou Chun.

This kind of jade slip is a carrier for immortal cultivators to record knowledge, and only immortal cultivators can read the information through their spiritual consciousness.

Compared with carriers such as paper books and slates, it has the advantages of being easy to carry and contains a large amount of information. The disadvantage is that it cannot be stored for a long time.

At this time, Zhou Chun was also moved when he saw the jade slips handed over by Zhou Daoquan, and immediately bowed to him from the bottom of his heart and bowed deeply, saying: "The elder is very kind, the younger generation will keep it in mind, and there will definitely be others in the future." Big report!"

Then he stretched out his hands and took the jade slip respectfully.

Zhou Daoquan has lived for more than 100 years, and he has never met anyone. Of course, he can tell whether what he is saying now is the truth or polite words.

Therefore, a gratified smile appeared on his face, and he patted him on the shoulder lightly and said: "Work hard, as long as you have cultivated this silver lightning thunder python well, it shouldn't be a big problem for you to succeed in building your foundation in the future."

"Yes, the younger generation must remember the elder's teachings."

Zhou Chun nodded emphatically, and after thanking Zhou Daoquan again and again, he happily returned to the residence above Baozhi Peak with the snake egg.

For the next month or so, Zhou Chun would take a look at the snake egg he brought back every day, hoping that it would hatch soon.

After 47 days passed like this, when he was practicing the secret technique, the snake eggs finally hatched by themselves.

When he returned to the bedroom from the quiet room, a spiritual connection made him look under the bed for the first time.

On one foot of the wooden bed, a small white snake as thick as a thumb was winding around it, and the snake looked at him hesitantly.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun couldn't help showing a happy smile and said: "The little guy is finally willing to come out!"

Then he walked to the bed and stretched out his hand.

Because of the contract, the little white snake didn't repel or fear him approaching. Instead, it quickly put the cold snake head on his palm, then crawled along the back of his hand to his wrist, and soon wrapped around his wrist. for a few laps.

It looked like Zhou Chun was wearing several silver bracelets on his left hand.

"I'll call you Baibai from now on, a little Baibai."

Zhou Chun stretched out his finger and gently touched the head of the little white snake, smiling and naming it.

Newborn pythons need careful feeding and care.

Zhou Chun strictly followed the recipe formulated by Zhou Daoquan, and fed him eggs of suitable size every day, as well as a special ration for young snakes made by Zhou's family, which was actually something like minced meat and ham sausage.

This continued for half a month, and when Xiao Baibai grew to the thickness of two fingers, Zhou Chun added some young birds, young mice and other live animals to its diet.

Like the tortoise, the snake likes to be still and not to move.

So usually, Xiao Baibai sleeps wrapped around Zhou Chun's wrist.

The contractual relationship between the two makes it naturally regard Zhou Chun as its mother. Only when it smells Zhou Chun's breath can it feel safe and relaxed.

After Zhou Chun was uncomfortable at the beginning, he gradually got used to having a snake wrapped around his arm.

On this day, Zhou Chun received an invitation card, inviting him to drink full moon wine at Xiangmu Peak three days later.

The owner who sent out the invitation was Zhou Zhengjie, who ranked ninth in their "Zheng" generation, and like Zhou Chun, he was also in the Qi refining stage.

This person married a nun from Jin Fengling's Sun family more than two years ago. The nun gave birth to a son for him a month ago, so he invited Zhou Chun and his peers to drink the full moon wine.

Of course, Zhou Chun couldn't refuse this kind of thing, so he also prepared a gift, and went to Xiangmu Peak with Zhou Zhengyong three days later.

When he arrived at the Fragrant Wood Peak, Zhou Chun found out that the Ninth Brother had not only invited their fellow monks, but also invited many elders, even the patriarch Zhou Daoyi.

And before the banquet began, the patriarch Zhou Daoyi personally named the ninth brother's child and gave a speech.

"Today is a good day for our Zhou family to record. Zhengjie's child, Zhou Xinyuan, is the first member of the Zhou family born after our Zhou family took root in Jiufengling, and also the first to be pregnant. The root of the Zhou family's Xin family!"

"Whether a family can prosper depends not only on how many high-ranking monks there are in the family, but also on whether the family is prosperous and whether it can continue to produce talented juniors!"

"The birth of Zhengjie's child just shows that our Zhou family has successors, and it means that the roots of our Zhou family's big tree have been completely planted, and it can reproduce and bear abundant fruits!"

"As the patriarch, I am very gratified and happy about this matter, and on behalf of the clan, I will reward Zhengjie and his wife with a hundred family merits. At the same time, I sincerely hope that other members of our Zhou family can also contribute to the family's inheritance and inheritance. power!"

At the banquet, the patriarch Zhou Daoyi looked happily at the guests and tribe members, and delivered a birth-inducing speech.

That's right, Zhou Chun could tell that the patriarch Zhou Daoyi would attend the full moon wine today, and that's why he came here to give birth.

Most of the current Zhou family monks, the "family" characters are either too old to have children, or they have already given birth.

However, few monks of the "Zheng" generation have married and had children.

If it was the previous period of the Three Absolute Clans, this would not be a big deal. After all, Fengguo has been passed down for more than 1000 years, and the number of ordinary people in the Zhou family has already reached hundreds of thousands.

Even if immortal cultivators are not born, there are still a large number of mortals who will be born.

In this way, there are many more mortals, and there will always be Zhou family blood clansmen with spiritual root qualifications.

But now it is impossible for the Zhou family to relocate all those Zhou family members here, and it is also impossible to test the spiritual root qualifications of the Zhou family members born there as often as before.

Therefore, if you want to replenish the family with fresh blood, you can only give birth to the current family members.

After all, if both parents are immortal cultivators, the chances of their offspring possessing spiritual root qualifications are not small.

Therefore, it is far more efficient to give birth to family cultivators than mortals who gamble on probability.

But the premise of all this is that these Zhou family monks are willing to give birth!
Thinking of this, Zhou Chun couldn't help but look at the many monks of the "Zheng" generation present, as well as some of the "Jia" generation monks under the age of 60.

It turned out that many people were really moved by Zhou Daoyi's words, and they showed thoughtful expressions, including Zhou Zhengyong who was beside him.

This made him startled slightly at first, and then suddenly lowered his head in shame.

It's him who judges others by himself, so he's thinking about it!

This is not the world of his previous life. In this world, even mortals have a strong clan atmosphere, and it is not a lie to say that many children and many blessings.

Even for a Cultivation Family like the Zhou Family, if there are a few direct blood relatives, there is a high probability that they will be able to mix in the family better than other individual clansmen.

Therefore, for the matter of having more offspring, everyone will not feel any rejection at all.

The thing that may really hinder them from having children is how to find a suitable Taoist partner first.
