Chapter 182 The Three Yin Body, Transforming into a Dragon [Please Subscribe]

Although he scolded the young girl Zhou Yudie for being naive, Zhou Chun still decided to take her away.

It's not easy for the Zhou family to have a member with spiritual root aptitude.

Now that it has been discovered, it certainly cannot be allowed to be buried.

Moreover, the "Three Yin Body" possessed by the young girl Zhou Yudie is indeed not suitable for staying in Feng Kingdom, which is now ruled by the Corpse Demon Cult.

Fortunately, he encountered this incident; otherwise, Zhou Yudie might have become a powerful trump card for the She family in the future.

Because a human like her, who possesses spiritual roots and was born in a yin year, yin month, and yin hour—a "three yin body"—is an excellent material for corpse refining.

Corpse refiners with this special physique have very high growth potential in the future. As long as the refining method is not bad, they can be cultivated to the second tier with a little nurturing.

If you are willing to invest a lot of resources to cultivate it, you may even have the opportunity to form a corpse core and become a fourth-order corpse refiner!

However, this was also Zhou Yudie's good fortune.

If those few She family cultivators hadn't been so weak and incompetent that they had to resort to rituals like a ghost marriage to manipulate her, she might have been taken away and buried in the graveyard as soon as her "Three Yin Body" was discovered.

After deciding to take Zhou Yudie away, Zhou Chun took her to meet his parents for a final farewell.

After Zhou Yudie bid farewell to her parents and relatives with great reluctance, Zhou Chun looked at her and said, "I am now sending you to the Zhou family in Jingguo. From now on, you should cultivate diligently there. The cultivators there all share the same ancestor as you, and they will help you a lot."

"Ah! Master, don't you want your disciple anymore?"

Zhou Yudie gasped in surprise, looking at Zhou Chun with a pitiful expression and a look of panic in her eyes.

"Don't call me Master; that's a title you can't just use in the cultivation world!"

Zhou Chun rebuked him in a deep voice.

The master-disciple relationship is a very deep one in the cultivation world, comparable to the father-son relationship.

No respectable cultivator would easily accept a disciple.

Although Zhou Yudie's aptitude was quite good, possessing a mid-grade spiritual root and a "Three Yin Body," Zhou Chun had no intention of taking her as a disciple.

After scolding him, he explained in a low voice, "I'm going to a dangerous place to do something dangerous. I won't have time to teach you cultivation, and it's not a suitable place for you!"

"Since you knew it was dangerous, why did you still go?"

The girl looked at Zhou Chun with a puzzled expression and whispered the question that had been bothering her.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun sighed deeply and said, "Because once you're in the world of cultivation, you're no longer in control of your own destiny!"

Upon hearing his words, the girl instantly recalled her own experience and fell silent.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun shook his head and said, "See? I told you before, being a cultivator isn't as idyllic as you think. The hardships cultivators have to endure are far greater than those of ordinary mortals!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Alright, when you become a true cultivator and experience the cruelty of the cultivation world, you will naturally understand what I'm telling you."

Then he took the girl and left Fengguo, heading straight for Jingguo.

After traveling for more than ten days, Zhou Chun arrived at a place not far from Jiufeng Ridge. He then changed his appearance and went to the mountain gate to present a visiting card, indicating that he wanted to pay his respects to Zhou Daoyi, the head of the Zhou family.

When he went to Fengguo, Zhou Daoyi announced to his staff that he was going to follow the Third Elder Zhou Daoquan on a trip.

Therefore, he cannot show himself in front of the Zhou family cultivators in the short term.

After receiving Zhou Chun's visiting card, Zhou Daoyi quickly came over and led him into the Zhou family home.

"Masaharu, what's going on with you? Why are you back in the family so soon?"

Inside the living room, Zhou Daoyi stared at Zhou Chun, who had undergone a complete transformation, with a look of astonishment and disbelief. He was quite surprised by Zhou Chun's sudden return.

"When I was traveling in Fengguo, I went to the ancestral home of my family and encountered some things."

Zhou Chun looked at Zhou Daoyi and slowly recounted his experiences traveling through Zhoucheng, as well as his encounter with Zhou Yudie and its outcome.

After listening to his account of his travels, Zhou Daoyi's expression immediately turned serious, and he remained silent for a long time.

Often, the same words spoken by people of different statuses, in different occasions, and at different times can have completely different effects.

The Zhou family cultivators who migrated to Feng Kingdom back then also spoke of the tragic experiences of the Zhou family members who remained in Feng Kingdom.

But at that time, the Zhou family had only recently settled in Jiufengling, and their foundation was not yet solid, so they were in danger of collapsing at any time.

Even if the clan leader Zhou Daoyi heard those words, he simply didn't have the time or energy to pay attention to them.

Now that the Zhou family's foundation is solid, the momentum for its revival is beginning to emerge.

Hearing from Zhou Chun, the deputy clan leader, about the plight of the ordinary people from the families who remained in Feng Kingdom, how could Zhou Daoyi not be moved and ponder deeply?

After a long silence, Zhou Daoyi finally spoke in a low voice, "We certainly didn't do a good job abandoning them and fleeing Feng Kingdom so hastily!"

"If we had arranged for some people to stay behind and organized their early relocation away from their ancestral home, we could have completed the migration before the She family's mortals arrived, preventing them from suffering the She family's calamities!"

But saying these things now is undoubtedly hindsight.

Under those circumstances, which Zhou family cultivator would have dared to stay?

The Corpse Demon Cult doesn't just kill people; they also refine human corpses into zombies!

Although many cultivators, once they die in battle, have their bodies destroyed by the enemy to cover up the truth.

But compared to the fact that the enemy would refine the corpse into a zombie afterward and use it to deal with one's own relatives and friends, destroying the evidence is nothing!

Therefore, even if the Zhou family had considered these things at the time, let alone not having had time to do so, probably not many people would have dared to stay and do such a thing.

Therefore, Zhou Chun didn't take Zhou Daoyi's words seriously at all.

Zhou Daoyi quickly realized this as well, and immediately nodded slightly, saying, "How about this, I'll see if I can arrange for a few clansmen to take some secular clansmen to the border between the two countries and stay there for a while. If we encounter any clansmen who have fled from Feng Kingdom, we'll help them transfer to our clan!"

"If that's the case, then that would be for the best."

Zhou Chun responded in a low voice, knowing that this was the limit that the Zhou family could currently achieve.

The practice of migrating people deep into Fengguo is something that can no longer be done nowadays, as it would easily lead to being wiped out in one fell swoop.

After discussing the arrangements for Zhou Yudie with Zhou Daoyi, Zhou Chun left the family's mountain gate.

He returned to Zhou Yudie's side, who was waiting, and nodded gently to the girl, saying, "Alright, I have already spoken to the Zhou family patriarch about your matter, and he will soon arrange for someone to come and take you to see him."

At this point, he solemnly instructed, "You must remember this: do not reveal my existence to anyone. Once you meet the Zhou family patriarch, follow his instructions."

"Yes, my daughter will certainly obey your orders, benefactor!"

Zhou Yudie nodded obediently and made a mental note of it.

Not long after, Zhou Zhengyong was sent by Zhou Daoyi to pick him up.

Zhou Chun watched from afar as Zhou Zhengyong took the person away before returning to Fengguo.

In the months that followed, Zhou Chun made several appearances and left behind a number of stories in a certain place in Fengguo.

Once he confirmed that these deeds were enough to attract the attention of the Dragon Transformation Sect's investigators, he killed a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Corpse Demon Sect during a conflict. He then fled Feng Kingdom out of fear of punishment, heading towards the desolate land where the Dragon Transformation Sect's headquarters was located.

The true headquarters of the Hualong Sect is located deep in the wilderness, a straight-line distance of six or seven thousand miles from the border of Jingguo Yunzhou.

However, there are not many people left at that headquarters now. Most of the cultivators of the Hualong Sect have dispersed and migrated towards the border of Jingguo Yunzhou.

The unique environment of the wilderness allowed the Hualong Sect to avoid having all its followers confined to one place for cultivation, unlike the Qinglian Temple.

In addition to their main altar, they also established five branch altars in some spiritually rich areas of the wilderness, where the main members of the sect cultivated.

Those immortal cultivation families that relied on the Dragon Transformation Sect established their mountain gates and settled around these five branch altars.

Zhou Chun also didn't have a detailed map of the wilderness; that kind of thing was probably only available to the Dragon Transformation Sect.

He was simply heading in one direction, hoping to encounter cultivators from the Dragon Transformation Sect.

But the wilderness was indeed extremely dangerous.

This time, he ventured into the area alone, without any of his useful magical artifacts, and still encountered many dangers.

The first time, while he was meditating to recover his magical power, he was targeted by a mid-grade second-tier demonic beast.

Just as he unleashed the Silver Lightning Python to battle the mid-grade second-tier demonic beast, he attracted another low-grade second-tier demonic beast, and was then besieged by the two demonic beasts.

Although he and the Silver Lightning Python worked together to kill the low-grade second-tier demon beast and scare away the mid-grade second-tier demon beast, he was also completely exhausted of his magic power, making it a narrow victory.

The second time, he found a four-hundred-year-old golden star grass in the wilderness. When he was about to pick this spiritual herb, a second-tier high-grade demon beast, the Golden Needle Hedgehog, suddenly emerged from the ground.

This beast hid underground, revealing no trace of its presence, and Zhou Chun's divine sense failed to detect it.

So even though he had taken ample precautions before going to collect herbs, he was still ambushed by this beast, and multiple needles pierced through his "Golden Cauldron Mystic Light" protection and entered his body on the spot.

In that situation, if it had been an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, they would likely have perished on the spot.

Because once the thorns of the hedgehog hit their target, they release a sharp, toxin-like force that damages the organs, tissues, and meridians near the wound.

If struck by multiple needles at the same time, an ordinary cultivator would be unable to suppress and eliminate this alien power while continuing to fight the Golden Needle Hedgehog.

But Zhou Chun is different. The Golden Cauldron Profound Technique he cultivates is a top-level technique for refining metal elemental power, and its resistance to foreign metal energy is far superior to that of ordinary cultivators.

The alien power belonging to the Golden Needle Hedgehog had just begun to emanate from his body when he used his own magic power to envelop and suppress it.

Then, enduring the beast's subsequent attacks, he quickly fled the battlefield.

But by the time he had completely removed the alien power from his body and returned to seek revenge, the golden needle hedgehog had already eaten the golden star grass and run away!

This experience taught Zhou Chun a lesson he shouldn't underestimate the second-tier monsters in the wilderness.

The third time, which is this time.

This time, Zhou Chun was the unluckiest. He only grilled some meat, but it attracted two pig-faced demonic apes that roamed the wilderness, one of which was a second-tier high-grade demonic beast!

As a result, he could only use his flying artifact to escape, while the two pig-faced demonic apes chased after him relentlessly.

Fortunately, apart from some naturally gifted flying beasts or those known for their speed, most second-tier beasts are not as fast as Foundation Establishment cultivators who wield second-tier flying magical artifacts.

Zhou Chun flew for hundreds of miles and finally managed to shake off the two pig-faced demonic apes.

However, his soaring high in the sky was quite conspicuous and easily exposed his presence.

So before he could even breathe a sigh of relief and rejoice at having shaken off the two pig-faced demonic apes, he was surrounded by two human cultivators.

The two human cultivators were both wearing blue robes with dragon patterns, making it clear at a glance that they were missionaries of the Dragon Transformation Sect.

The two were at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and the early-Foundation Establishment stage, respectively.

These two were clearly up to no good; Zhou Chun saw greed in their eyes.

Clearly, he had developed a greedy interest in the second-tier low-grade flying magic weapon beneath his feet.

However, he had come to seek refuge with the Dragon Transformation Sect, so he naturally did not want to fight with the two. Therefore, before the two could approach and make a move, he spoke up first, saying, "Are you two fellow Daoists missionaries of the Dragon Transformation Sect? I am Zhou Yuanyang, a rogue cultivator from Feng Kingdom. I have come to this wilderness specifically to seek refuge with your sect!"

Upon hearing his words, both men paused, their faces showing surprise.

After exchanging a few words telepathically, the two put aside their hostility.

One of them immediately smiled and said, "So it's Fellow Daoist Zhou from Feng Kingdom. Since you've come to join our sect, you are our honored guest. We will take you to the branch altar to pay your respects to the Dharma Protector."

The other person nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes, as long as you join our sect, we'll be one family from now on."

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun's eyes flashed with a strange light, and then he bowed to the two of them with a joyful expression, saying, "Then I, Zhou, will thank you both in advance."

After saying that, he waved his sleeve and put away the cyan flying boat magic artifact under his feet, then flew towards the two of them.

Upon seeing this, the smiles on the two men's faces widened even further.

Just as Zhou Chun flew to within a few dozen feet of the two, they suddenly attacked at the same time, using their magical artifacts to strike at Zhou Chun!

But just as they were laughing and thinking they could strike successfully, golden spiritual light suddenly spread out from Zhou Chun's body, instantly forming a golden light shield that protected him.

After the two magical artifacts struck the golden light shield, although the shield's golden light flickered wildly, it didn't even break the shield!

Zhou Chun, inside, stared coldly at the two and said, "What do you two mean by this?"

Upon hearing his words, the two people who were initially shocked by his immense strength trembled.

Then the mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator hurriedly coughed twice and said, "Ahem, Fellow Daoist Zhou, please don't misunderstand. We just wanted to test your strength. After all, our Dragon Transformation Sect is a major sect, and not just anyone can join!"

Another person quickly echoed, "Yes, yes, Fellow Daoist Zhou, your strength is indeed extraordinary. You are fully qualified to join our sect!"

Both of them were utterly shocked, realizing they had really messed up.

So as they talked, they unconsciously stepped back to create distance between themselves and Zhou Chun, preparing for the possibility that Zhou Chun might turn hostile and attack them.

But to their surprise, Zhou Chun seemed to actually believe what they said.

Zhou Chun's expression relaxed, and he nodded slightly, saying, "I see. Then I misunderstood you two."

With that, he waved his sleeve and dispelled the golden protective shield.

Seeing his actions, the two people opposite him felt even more awe towards him.

After what just happened, they no longer think Zhou Chun is a fool.

Given this, the fact that Zhou Chun still dares to do this shows that he is truly fearless and not afraid of the two of them having any more bad intentions.

And they were indeed frightened by the strength Zhou Chun had just displayed.

The rest of the journey was filled with trepidation as he forced a smile and obediently led Zhou Chun to the nearest branch of the Hualong Sect.
