Chapter 200 The Uses of the Secret Foil, The Discussion of Death Squads [Please Subscribe]

When Zhou Chun returned to Mingxia Daoist, Mingxia Daoist had been waiting anxiously for him.

"How did it go? Did you complete the mission?"

She looked at Zhou Chun eagerly and asked, her eyes full of anticipation.

"I have successfully obtained crucial intelligence from Senior Lu, intelligence sufficient to bring down the Dragon Transformation Sect!"

Zhou Chun nodded slightly and immediately took out the Xuan Guang Recalling Mirror and handed it to Daoist Mingxia, letting him examine it himself.

Daoist Mingxia naturally didn't stand on ceremony with him. After accepting the magic weapon, she immediately began to refine and examine it.

As he expected, even a cultivator at the Purple Mansion stage like Daoist Mingxia was utterly shocked and lost his composure after reading the secrets of the Dragon Transformation Sect revealed by Lu Ran.

After a long period of disarray, she suddenly gripped the precious mirror tightly in her hand and said in a deep voice, "Let's go, we must return to the sect immediately to report to the Abbot!"

After saying that, he seemed to remember something, and immediately frowned, looking at Zhou Chun and saying, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, you should be fine returning to the Zhou family alone, right?"

Upon hearing her words, Zhou Chun's heart sank instantly, and she immediately understood what she meant.

This is because they think that taking him along would slow down his travel speed, and they want him to fend for himself!

While it's not exactly a case of discarding a donkey after it has served its purpose, it's certainly a case of kicking away the bridge after it has been crossed!

Despite feeling extremely angry and disheartened, Zhou Chun only showed a reluctant expression and said, "If Senior Mingxia thinks that I am in the way, then I will go back on my own."

But he knew very well that it would be strange if he didn't feel any dissatisfaction at this moment.

However, Daoist Mingxia seemed oblivious to the reluctance in his words, and calmly replied, "This matter is of great importance; I hope Fellow Daoist Zhou understands!"

"Consider that high-grade third-tier magic talisman my apology to you, fellow Daoist!"

After saying that, he released the third-tier mid-grade demonic beast, the Wind and Thunder Leopard, and rode it back to the Green Lotus Temple alone.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he immediately took to the air and flew towards the underground river outlet.

Four days later, Zhou Chun returned to Lanzhou and the Zhou family even faster than Daoist Mingxia.

However, only the clan head Zhou Daoyi and the Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde knew that he had returned to the Zhou family.

He stayed in the family for less than two days before quietly leaving the Zhou family with the patriarch Zhou Daoyi and once again arriving at Longyuanze via the underground river.

Following this, Zhou Chun established contact with Lu Ran within a few days using the contact method Lu Ran had given him, and then met with the clan leader Zhou Daoyi on a peninsula surrounded by water on three sides.

"Senior Lu, this is Zhou Daoyi, the patriarch of my Zhou family. We have come here to ask for your help in deciphering that secret foil!"

Upon seeing him, Zhou Chun introduced Zhou Daoyi, who was standing next to him, to Lu Ran.

Zhou Daoyi then bowed to Lu Ran and said, "Junior Zhou Daoyi greets Senior Lu."

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Zhou."

Lu Ran nodded slightly, then looked at Zhou Chun with surprise and asked, "Young friend Zhou, how did you get here so quickly?"

Zhou Chun had naturally anticipated this question, and upon hearing it, he immediately replied with a wry smile, "I dare not deceive Senior Lu. The clan leader had actually secretly accompanied me and Senior Mingxia to the wilderness, but Senior Mingxia abandoned me halfway through, considering me a burden!"

Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Lu Ran's eyes, and he couldn't help but remark with a sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, a complex emotion encompassing both feeling and reflection), "It seems my previous caution was correct. Indeed, there are very few trustworthy people among those powerful forces!"

"Who can argue with that!"

Zhou Chun recalled the Zhou family's years of offerings to Daoist Mingxia, only to be treated this way by him, and sighed deeply.

He was well aware of Mingxia Daoren's thoughts.

This time, thanks to him, she learned about the secrets of the Dragon Transformation Sect. Mingxia Daoist's status in Qinglian Temple will surely rise steadily in the future.

By then, there will be plenty of people trying to curry favor with her, so why would she care about a mere Zhou family?

If the Zhou family were to stop providing for her because of this, it would be the Zhou family that would suffer the loss.

Relying on heaven, earth, or people is not as good as relying on yourself.

This incident has given Zhou Chun a deeper understanding of the meaning of this sentence.

"This is the secret foil obtained from the remains of the Dragon Transformation Sect cultivator. Thank you for your help, Senior Lu."

Zhou Daoyi then spoke up, taking out the secret foil he had always kept on his person and handing it over.

"No problem."

Lu Ran responded and reached out to take the silver-white metal foil.

Immediately afterwards, he made a hand seal and sent a burst of spiritual energy towards the silver-white metal foil, which immediately shone with a silvery glow.

Lu Ran then focused his divine sense on it to examine it.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoyi also turned their expectant gazes to him.

After waiting for about fifteen minutes, Lu Ran raised his hand and caught the metal foil floating in mid-air, then handed it back to Zhou Daoyi.

Then he sighed softly and said, "I don't know how to explain this to you two fellow Daoists. This does indeed contain precious secret techniques of the Dragon Transformation Sect, but it is the 'Dragon Transformation Secret Manual' and its derivative techniques, and only the cultivation methods for levels one to four!"

Is that really the case?

Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoyi couldn't help but exchange a glance.

In fact, they had all guessed this before.

After all, the Hualong Sect was facing the danger of being wiped out at the time. In order to prevent the lineage from being cut off, it was normal for them to hand over the "Hualong Secret Manual" to those missionaries to take it out of the sect and pass it on.

Seeing that the two of them were not speaking, Lu Ran assumed that they were feeling disappointed and didn't want to talk.

He immediately said, "I will now teach you the incantation to activate this item. You can verify it yourselves. In addition, this jade slip also contains the foundation transfer technique of the 'Dragon Transformation Secret' that you requested, young friend Zhou."

Then, as if prepared, he took out a jade slip and handed it to Zhou Chun.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun didn't rush to examine it closely. He simply put it into his storage bag and then looked at Lu Ran, saying, "Senior Lu, we naturally believe your words. Then we won't bother you any longer. Next time, when we are ready, we will come to obtain the [Thousand-Year Grass] for you!"

"Then I, Lu, will await your good news!"

Lu Ran's eyes lit up, and he responded with a smile.

After separating, Zhou Chun and his companion traveled upstream along the underground river back to their family.

At this time, Zhou Chun still did not reveal his whereabouts and went directly to live in Zhou Mingde's cave.

Inside Zhou Mingde's cave, the three high-ranking members of the Zhou family used a special technique provided by Lu Ran to read through the contents of the secret foil.

Just as Lu Ran said, the secret foil contains the first four levels of the cultivation method of the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique", which also includes secret techniques such as "Dragon Transformation Ascension Technique", "Dragon Vein Sensing Technique", "Dragon Soul Heart Planting Technique" and "Blood Transformation Dragon Technique" that are based on the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique".

It can be said that, except for the most core fifth-level cultivation method, this secret foil has contained all the fundamental techniques of the Dragon Transformation Sect.

Anyone who obtains this secret foil and is able to tame a dragon as a spirit pet can rebuild the Dragon Transformation Sect.

"So, what do you all think of this?"

Inside the cave, after the three of them had finished reading the contents of the secret foil, Zhou Mingde turned his gaze to the two Zhou family patriarchs in front of him.

"It's like heaven is helping me!"

Zhou Daoyi said in a low voice.

Zhou Chun then nodded earnestly and said, "That's right, this is Heaven's blessing upon our Zhou family, destined for our rise and prosperity!"

The two men were talking incoherently, but Zhou Mingde understood what they meant.

Then, he lightly raised a finger and asked, "I have a question. What if someone discovers that our Zhou family is secretly cultivating the 'Dragon Transformation Secret Technique'?"

After asking the question, he continued, "If this matter is exposed, not to mention the reactions of the various factions in Jingguo, the Hualong Sect and the Jiaolong Clan will not let our Zhou family off easily!"

After speaking, Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Chun also showed thoughtful expressions.

After pondering for a while, Zhou Chun spoke first: "I think it would be best if few of the cultivators in my Zhou family practiced the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique, so that we wouldn't have to worry about this matter being associated with our Zhou family."

"At the same time, our Zhou family can use marriage alliances or other means to recruit and win over a large number of powerful non-family cultivators and rogue cultivators, let them cultivate the 'Dragon Transformation Secret Technique', and send them to the wilderness to open up strongholds and collect resources for our Zhou family."

"We can even have them impersonate cultivators from the Dragon Transformation Sect to help our Zhou family with things that are inconvenient for our own clansmen to do!"

However, after hearing his words, Zhou Mingde shook his head and said, "Zhengchun, your idea is certainly good, but have you thought about it? Once Qinglian Temple exposes the fact that the Hualong Sect uses humans to feed demons, how many cultivators outside of families will dare to cultivate the 'Hualong Secret Technique'?"

"this……"

Zhou Chun frowned, unable to answer for a moment.

He did not consider this point thoroughly.

Fortunately, Zhou Daoyi spoke up at this moment to help him out of the predicament.

Zhou Daoyi slowly said, "That's one way. Let's wait and see what Qinglian Temple does and how much impact this matter will have."

"Then we can proceed in two steps. The first step is to start now by gathering mortals with spiritual roots and training them as family henchmen, preventing them from contacting cultivators outside."

"After training them to a certain level, we will send them to the wilderness to establish new strongholds. If any promising talents emerge from among them, we will carefully recruit them and send them back to the family to serve the family."

"The second step is to capture bandit cultivators and send them to strongholds in the wilderness, just like before, so that they can cultivate the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique to collect resources for the family, and give them appropriate rewards and hope."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Mingde's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and exclaimed, "These two methods are excellent! The 'Dragon Transformation Secret Technique' is the best secret technique for cultivating assassins. It can not only improve the combat power of assassins, but also prevent them from betraying their families and running away!"

The dead man?

Zhou Chun listened to the words of the two elders and fell silent.

If it were shortly after he transmigrated to this world, he would definitely have had a strong aversion to the idea of ​​training assassins.

But now he knows that assassins are indeed the most indispensable people for a family and a power.

Not to mention families and sects, even some high-level cultivators would train such assassins to protect their important relatives.

If the Zhou family can cultivate a group of elite warriors, then the family's strength will indeed make a great leap forward in the future.

After a moment of silence, he finally spoke, "Training assassins consumes a great deal of resources and takes a considerable amount of time. Although our Zhou family has some savings, I'm afraid this is not an easy task!"

Unexpectedly, Zhou Daoyi gently shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be a big problem. If it only involves resources for Qi Refining stage cultivation, without considering other benefits and offerings, our Zhou family should be able to support twenty or thirty assassins!"

"And isn't our Zhou family going to exchange aquatic treasures with that Senior Lu Ran later? If we can earn a lot of spirit coins by trading aquatic treasures in Dragon Abyss, then we won't have to worry about the resources for training assassins."

After saying this, Zhou Chun had nothing more to say.

If no other benefits or offerings are provided, it is indeed not difficult to support a Qi Refining stage assassin; all that is needed is to teach them meditation, cultivation, and the practice of spells and secret techniques.

"Let's leave it at that for now. We can hold off on capturing the bandit cultivators, but we can arrange for people to gather mortals with spiritual roots right away."

Zhou Mingde quickly made a decision.

Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoyi naturally did not object to this.

Then Zhou Daoyi left the cave to do this, while Zhou Chun stayed in Zhou Mingde's cave to cultivate and comprehend the secret technique of "Blood Transformation Dragon Technique", preparing to transform the dragon bloodline in his body into the bloodline of the Azure Dragon.

Qingqing is the spirit pet of clan leader Zhou Daoyi. Zhou Chun used its dragon spirit blood to transform his foundation, so he no longer had to worry about being controlled by others.

If his own spirit pet, the Silver Lightning Python, can transform into a dragon in the future, he can even use the "Blood Transformation Dragon Technique" to convert the dragon bloodline in his body into the bloodline in Bai Bai's body.

In this way, he will never again be subject to the control of others.

On the other side, without Zhou Chun's "burden," Daoist Mingxia returned to Qinglian Temple in less than five days and handed the Xuan Guang Liu Ying Mirror to the temple master, Qing Wei Zi, for inspection.

After seeing the footage captured by Zhou Chun using the Xuan Guang Mirror, Qing Weizi was both shocked and furious, but also overjoyed.

"Okay, okay!"

"With this evidence, not only will the Moon Wheel Sect and the Flame Sun Sect no longer dare to harbor any illusions about the Dragon Transformation Sect, but they may even have the opportunity to persuade forces from other countries to send people to help them!"

"Then we will expose the fact that the Dragon Transformation Sect feeds demons with humans, which will arouse public outrage among human cultivators from various countries and fear among their own cultivators. Then we can openly and legitimately lead our army to conquer the Dragon Transformation Sect's headquarters in the south."

"Then we'll see if the Flood Dragon Clan will really risk war with our entire human race to rescue the Dragon Transformation Sect!"

This is the first update today. The second update will be at 8 PM tonight, as I said!
