Chapter 229 Water Jade Lingzhi, Chongshan Encounters Danger [Please Subscribe]

A miraculous medicine that has lasted for millennia!

Upon hearing the Dragon Transformation Sect cultivator utter those four words when he was about to surrender, Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoquan's eyes lit up, and they were instantly tempted.

They knew the value of the thousand-year-old elixir; they were all connoisseurs.

If a high-level cultivator needs this, one of these plants can be exchanged for a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Even major sects like Qinglian Temple regularly offer rewards for various rare and precious medicinal herbs.

In order to obtain the rare and precious elixirs they sought, the bounties they offered were often Foundation Establishment Pills or elixirs that could help people break through minor cultivation levels.

Only in this way can we attract various cultivation families and independent cultivators to exchange their thousand-year-old spiritual herbs.

If the Zhou family could obtain a few good thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, it would be excellent whether they were used to curry favor with a Golden Core cultivator, find a powerful backer for themselves, or exchange for rare family resources such as Foundation Establishment Pills.

So upon hearing the words of the Dragon Transformation Sect cultivator who wanted to surrender, Zhou Chun immediately changed his attitude, looking at him with a smile and saying, "Very good. If you can really help us obtain the thousand-year-old spiritual medicine, not only will I accept your surrender, but I might even let you go!"

Compared to the rare thousand-year-old spiritual medicine that is hard to buy even with spirit coins, the battle merit of killing a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator is really nothing.

Having received this promise, the Dragon Transformation Sect cultivator who had narrowly escaped death breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly bowed, saying, "Thank you for your great kindness, senior. This junior will certainly do my best to fulfill your wish!"

He was superior to Zhou Chun in both cultivation level and age, yet he addressed Zhou Chun as "senior" so naturally, which amused Zhou Chun.

It's true that strength reigns supreme in the cultivation world, but people who can be so shameless are still quite rare.

No wonder he shouted "surrender" so easily just now.

However, this wasn't the time to dwell on that. Zhou Chun quickly looked at the man and said, "Tell me about the thousand-year-old spiritual herb first. Tell me everything you know!"

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Transformation Sect cultivator dared not conceal anything and hurriedly recounted the details.

According to him, he had once worked in this herb garden and had also helped a certain protector of the Black Dragon Hall to maintain and care for a special thousand-year-old herb.

Therefore, it was known where the protector had transplanted the thousand-year-old medicinal herb.

After explaining the situation, the man pointed to a mountain peak dozens of miles away and said, "The thing is on that Muyu Peak. There is a Water Mulberry Tree there that is over two thousand years old, and the Water Jade Lingzhi grows on that tree."

"Alright, in that case, you may lead the way!"

After glancing in the direction he was pointing, Zhou Chun immediately made a decision.

He sent a telepathic message to Zhou Chongshan on Lingfeng Peak, instructing him to accompany him and the Hualong Sect cultivator to harvest the thousand-year-old Water Jade Lingzhi, while leaving Zhou Jiarui and Zhou Jiapeng to continue harvesting the spiritual herbs in the herb garden.

After assigning tasks in this way, the three of them immediately headed to the location of the thousand-year-old Water Jade Lingzhi.

Since most of the Black Dragon Hall cultivators had gone to plug the gap, Zhou Chun and his companions flew down thirty or forty miles without encountering any obstacles and quickly arrived at the foot of the mountain where the thousand-year-old Water Jade Lingzhi was located.

This mountain is not a famous one within the Black Dragon Hall's mountain gate. It has long been occupied by a Black Dragon Hall protector to cultivate the thousand-year-old Water Jade Lingzhi and some other high-age spiritual herbs.

Therefore, the mountain peak is also protected by the array set up by that Dharma protector.

Normally, that protector would often have trusted cultivators preside over the formation here to guard and care for the spiritual herbs.

But now the Black Dragon Hall has suffered a devastating disaster, and all the Black Dragon Hall cultivators have to go to provide power for the protective array, so there is not a single cultivator left on this mountain.

This wouldn't have been a big deal, after all, that protector held a high position in the Black Dragon Hall. Even if no one was guarding Twilight Rain Peak, few cultivators in the Black Dragon Hall would dare to covet the thousand-year-old Water Jade Spirit Mushroom on the mountain.

But what can they do now that there's a traitor among them?

At this moment, after testing the formation on Muyu Peak several times, Zhou Chongshan had a pretty good idea of ​​how to break the formation that was unattended.

Under his guidance, Zhou Chun, along with his two spirit pets and the Dragon Transformation Sect cultivator, attacked together and broke the formation in just a few rounds.

When they reached the top of the mountain, the first thing they saw was the water mulberry tree, which was more than ten feet tall.

This water mulberry tree is also a spiritual tree. Its leaves can be used to make talismans, its bark can be used in medicine and to make talismans, and its mulberry fruit is also a delicious spiritual fruit.

Unfortunately, it's not mulberry season now; the trees only have palm-sized, bluish-green mulberry leaves.

The incredibly precious thousand-year-old Water Jade Lingzhi was parasitic on the roots of this spiritual tree that were exposed on the ground.

"Judging from the size and texture of this jade-like Ganoderma lucidum, it's probably at least 1,300 years old, or even older!"

Zhou Chongshan stepped forward and carefully examined the azure-blue Ganoderma lucidum growing on the tree roots. He then expressed his judgment with a look of delight.

Although he was a formation master, he had lived long enough and was also quite accomplished in identifying spiritual herbs.

After stating his assessment, he sighed softly, as if expressing a slight disappointment, "It's a pity that transplanting such a spiritual herb requires a cultivator at the Purple Mansion stage to have a chance of success. Moreover, this Water Jade Spirit Mushroom has already been transplanted once, making a second transplant extremely difficult. Otherwise, it would be perfect if it could be transplanted back to my Zhou family's herb garden!"

Hearing this, Zhou Chun was speechless.

He waved his hand and said, "Second Elder, you jest. Let alone the fact that we simply don't have the time to do such delicate work right now, even if we could, our Zhou family doesn't possess a spiritual tree like this Water Mulberry Tree, suitable for nurturing a thousand-year-old Water Jade Lingzhi!"

"That's true! Ah, that's how it is when people get old; they tend to have unrealistic fantasies!"

Zhou Chongshan nodded, then shook his head, and walked away dejectedly, giving Zhou Chun the opportunity to pick the thousand-year-old water jade lingzhi.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun didn't stand on ceremony. He immediately used his finger as a sword, and golden light burst from his fingertip. He cut off the root of the Water Jade Lingzhi from the front and back, and then put the middle section of the root into a large jade box.

After finishing this task, Zhou Chun and Zhou Chongshan began picking other spiritual herbs planted nearby, and even threw out some jade boxes to let the Hualong Sect cultivator join in the picking.

The opponent's magical artifacts have all been confiscated, and Zhou Chun has the Silver Lightning Python keeping a close eye on him, so he's not afraid of any tricks the opponent might try.

Working together, the three of them plundered all the medicinal herbs on the mountain in less than a quarter of an hour, and then quickly returned to the mountain where the medicinal herb garden was located.

When the three returned to the mountain where the herb garden was located, they had almost finished harvesting all the high-grade spiritual herbs in the garden, and they had almost used up all the jade boxes they had.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately ordered, "Forget it, we don't need the rest. We've already got enough for today!"

Including the thousand-year-old Water Jade Lingzhi, their harvest today is probably worth sixty or seventy thousand spirit coins, or even more.

With so many gains, their adventure today was more than worthwhile.

Now all they have to do is preserve this harvest and bring it back to their family safely!

Fortunately, the Zhou family cultivators were all sensible and knew what was important.

After hearing Zhou Chun's words, although they felt a little regretful, they still obeyed his orders.

Once everyone had arrived, Zhou Chun said to the surrendered Dragon Transformation Sect cultivator, "I keep my word. Since you helped me obtain the Water Jade Spirit Mushroom, I will spare your life. Now get lost!"

Upon hearing this, the man's face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly bowed and thanked him, saying, "Thank you, senior! Thank you, senior! I'll be leaving right away!"

After saying that, it quickly flew towards the stream at the foot of the mountain, seemingly preparing to escape by using the water.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chongshan frowned slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

But Zhou Chun waved his hand and said, "Let's go too, let's meet up with the Supreme Elder first!"

Then he led the charge back towards the gap they had come from.

Seeing this, the Zhou family cultivators had no choice but to follow closely behind.

As luck would have it, Zhou Chun and his group encountered a group of cultivators from the Dragon Transformation Sect halfway there. Among them was the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator who had escaped earlier. It seemed that they had come specifically to deal with them.

The moment the two sides met, the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator pointed at them and shouted, "It's them! They stole all the spiritual herbs from Little Cloud Peak!"

Upon hearing this, the other seven Dragon Transformation Sect cultivators who had come with him immediately attacked without saying a word.

This time it's seven against five, and there are two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators among the Dragon Transformation Sect cultivators.

Faced with this lineup, the five members of the Zhou family no longer had any advantage.

"Let's go, don't get entangled with them. We'll fight our way back and rejoin the main force!"

After exchanging a few blows, Zhou Chun realized that his side was unlikely to gain any advantage, so he immediately sent a telepathic message to everyone to fight and retreat at the same time, avoiding entanglement with the enemy.

However, the cultivators of the Dragon Transformation Sect were not stupid, and they quickly discerned their intentions from their actions.

"Stop them! We can't let them get away!"

A late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Dragon Transformation Sect shouted loudly and waved his hand, throwing a second-grade high-quality magic talisman at Zhou Daoquan, who was fighting him.

Although the Hualong Sect is located in a remote area, it is not poor.

These Foundation Establishment cultivators are no less wealthy than the disciples of the three major sects of Jing Kingdom, and their magical artifacts and talismans are all of high quality.

At this moment, in order to stop the five members of the Zhou family, they did not hesitate to use up their magic talismans, throwing out all kinds of second-tier magic talismans at once.

Despite the Zhou family's five members' efforts to counter this financial onslaught with magic, they were still bogged down and unable to break free.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun gritted his teeth slightly and immediately seized the opportunity to unleash his painstakingly practiced "Flowing Golden Rainbow" on a Foundation Establishment cultivator who was fighting Zhou Jiarui not far away.

A golden rainbow shot through the air, piercing the protective clouds of the early Foundation Establishment cultivator like a golden lightning bolt, and smashing his head in mid-air.

This sudden change startled the other Dragon Transformation Sect cultivators, who hurriedly slowed their attacks and focused on self-defense, fearing that Zhou Chun might strike them as well.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Jiarui quickly went to help Zhou Jiapeng deal with another early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Dragon Transformation Sect.

Just when Zhou Chun thought he had killed the enemy with one blow and could establish an advantage for the battle, something unexpected happened on Zhou Chongshan's side.

It turns out that since Zhou Chongshan broke through to the late Foundation Establishment stage, he has rarely fought against cultivators of the same level. He usually stays in the family to comprehend the Dao of Formations, so his combat skills are not high.

The late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Dragon Transformation Sect that he faced frequently went out to fight demonic beasts, and had even fought against many cultivators of the same level from the Jing Kingdom during the previous invasion of the Jing Kingdom, demonstrating a very high level of combat skills.

In addition to the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique," he also cultivated several other powerful secret techniques.

Unfortunately, Zhou Chongshan didn't have a spirit pet to help him like Zhou Daoquan.

Seeing that Zhou Chun's side had gained a slight advantage, he felt a little more relaxed.

However, his opponent keenly perceived this and immediately unleashed a powerful offensive secret technique combined with a magical weapon attack, directly breaking through his double defenses and leaving a horrific wound on his body.

"Second Elder!"

"Second Elder, I'm here to help you!"

At this moment, seeing Zhou Chongshan severely injured, the Zhou family members were shocked and dismayed, and hurriedly stepped in to rescue their elder.

"Don't panic! I'm not going to die yet!"

With a deathly pale face, Zhou Chongshan hurriedly channeled his magic to sever the main blood vessels around the wound, slowing the rate of blood loss. At the same time, he shouted for everyone not to panic and not to give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of him while trying to save him.

But how could Zhou Chun ignore him!

Zhou Chun raised his hand and patted the storage bag at his waist, and a shimmering third-tier magic talisman appeared in his hand.

This was a third-tier, low-grade attack talisman that was bestowed upon the Zhou family by Daoist Mingxia of Qinglian Temple on behalf of the sect.

Zhou Chun originally intended to keep this talisman as a trump card, preferring to use the "Flowing Golden Rainbow" secret technique rather than use it.

But now that he saw Zhou Chongshan in danger, he could no longer care about anything else.

He channeled his magic power into the talisman in his hand, and the talisman immediately floated to the top of his head, quickly transforming into a ball of azure light.

With a thought, Zhou Chun sent the ball of azure spiritual light into a long spear of azure light that shot toward the Dragon Transformation Sect cultivator who had injured Zhou Chongshan.

Upon seeing this, the man was terrified and his face changed drastically. He hurriedly roared and activated the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique" to its limit. The black dragon scales on his body emitted a dazzling black light, and he activated a second-grade high-quality defensive shield to block in front of him.

But how powerful are third-tier spells?

The spear pierced through the air, easily shattering his shield-like magical artifact, and then pierced through the black protective clouds surrounding him, landing heavily on his body!

In an instant, the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Dragon Transformation Sect was blasted dozens of feet away, and a huge blood hole appeared in his chest.

However, the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique" was indeed powerful. Despite suffering such severe injuries, he still had vitality and the strength to turn around and run away.

But can he really escape?

A flash of yellow light appeared, and a yellowish-brown stone mace struck the fleeing Dragon Transformation Sect cultivator heavily on the head, instantly smashing his skull into a rotten watermelon.

It turned out that Zhou Chongshan had seized the opportunity to finish off the attacker and avenge himself.

There should be another chapter tonight.
