Chapter 363 Heaven Blesses the Zhou Family, Red Jade Forms its Core [Please Subscribe]

Zhou Chun's successful opening of his Purple Mansion was a joyous occasion even for the Su family.

After all, he was also the son-in-law of the Su family.

Therefore, after learning that he had successfully opened his Purple Mansion, the Su family patriarch specially summoned him for a talk.

Inside the cave, the Su family patriarch looked at Zhou Chun, who had come to pay his respects as summoned. After scrutinizing him for a while, he nodded slightly and said, "It seems that Yu Zhen was right after all. Although you have an unpleasant personality, you are still quite capable."

"If you have any questions about cultivation in the future, feel free to come to the Su family to find me, the patriarch. Also, remember to come and keep Yuzhen company often!"

Hearing his words, it's clear that from this moment on, he has truly come to regard Zhou Chun as a junior.

Prior to this, he had directly warned Zhou Chun not to bother him unless absolutely necessary.

This change in attitude profoundly illustrates the meaning of "times change, circumstances change".

Zhou Chun was naturally pleased with this change, and felt a sense of triumph.

He had always known that the Su family patriarch had never considered him, but only regarded him as a vessel to assist Su Yuzhen's cultivation.

This has always been something he finds particularly objectionable.

But now, at the age of over a hundred, he has successfully opened his Purple Mansion, truly demonstrating his potential as a Golden Elixir cultivator.

In this situation, even someone as proud as the Su family patriarch would have to put aside his arrogance and try to win him over.

How could he not feel happy and proud to receive such respect earned through his own efforts?

Of course, he was happy, but he also knew that even if he opened his Purple Mansion, he would not have the right to have an equal dialogue with the Su family patriarch.

Therefore, after a moment of emotional turmoil, he still respectfully replied, "I am deeply grateful for your kindness, Ancestor, and I will certainly remember your instructions."

"Well, go back and cultivate diligently. I look forward to your future performance."

The Su family patriarch glanced at him, seemingly discerning his thoughts, and immediately waved his hand, dismissing him.

"Yes, this junior will take his leave!"

Zhou Chun responded and immediately left the cave. He then quickly set off to return to his family.

A day later, Zhou Chun returned to the Zhou family, and the news that he had successfully opened his Purple Mansion spread, causing a sensation throughout the entire Zhou family.

Over the years, Zhou Chun has rarely appeared in public, and the various speculations and discussions about him within the family have never stopped.

Now that he has returned as a cultivator in the Purple Mansion stage, all those speculations can be put to rest.

Everything has been resolved to the best extent!

At this point, no one will care where he has been or what he has done over the years.

All the Zhou family cultivators who knew that he had successfully opened his Purple Mansion only knew that the Zhou family had gained another Purple Mansion cultivator, and that he was a genius who opened his Purple Mansion at the age of over a hundred!

With such a genius patriarch leading the family, how could the Zhou family not prosper!

"Heaven blesses our Zhou family! It is our ancestors who are protecting us, their descendants, by bestowing upon us such a wise, capable, and exceptionally talented clan leader, enabling him to lead our family to rebuild its glory and return to the ranks of the Golden Core Clan!"

On Baozhi Peak, an elderly Zhou family man with white hair and a face full of wrinkles wept with joy, his tears of happiness flowing freely.

This person was not one of Zhou Chun's elders, but rather his cousin Zhou Zhengxun, who was of the same generation.

Because he was more than ten years older than him and had not yet successfully established his foundation, his cousin was now nearing the end of his life and didn't have much time left.

As an elder of the Zhou family, Zhou Zhengxun was involved in the entire reconstruction process of the Zhou family's migration from Fengguo to Jingguo, and witnessed Zhou Chun's growth firsthand. Of course, he knew how important Zhou Chun was to the Zhou family.

Now, before his passing, he was able to see the Zhou family produce its fourth Purple Mansion stage cultivator, and to see his cousin Zhou Chun and the clan leader successfully open their Purple Mansions. He was truly happy from the bottom of his heart.

I'm happy for the family, I'm happy for Zhou Chun, I'm happy for the younger generation...

Zhou Zhengxun was not the only one with this idea.

When Zhou Chun arrived at Pagoda Peak, he met with Zhou Mingde.

Seeing Zhou Chun appear before him as a Purple Mansion stage cultivator, Zhou Mingde was overjoyed and cheered repeatedly.

"Great, great, that's wonderful!"

"Zheng Chun, you actually succeeded in opening your Purple Mansion! That's wonderful!"

"This is truly a blessing from heaven for the Zhou family! A blessing from heaven for the Zhou family!"

Although he didn't weep with joy like Zhou Zhengxun, Zhou Mingde's joy at this moment was just as intense, if not even greater.

Because Zhou Mingde knew very well that only by truly passing the Purple Mansion stage and overcoming the difficulty of rebuilding the shattered cauldron could Zhou Chun truly be said to have the potential to achieve the Golden Core and the foundation to reach the Golden Core stage.

From this moment on, the most important thing for the Zhou family will be to fully support Zhou Chun's cultivation, provide him with the best cultivation conditions, and allow him to cultivate well without distractions and successfully.

Whether the Zhou family can rebuild its glory and return to its former glory as a Golden Core clan depends entirely on Zhou Chun!

"This junior has not failed in his mission. I apologize for keeping you waiting, Elder."

Looking at Zhou Mingde's joyful smile, Zhou Chun simply smiled and replied with a single sentence.

He has already had his moment of joy; now it is his turn to bring joy to others.

Hearing this, Zhou Mingde couldn't help but grab his shoulder and exclaimed repeatedly, "Excellent! Zheng Chun, you have successfully opened your Purple Mansion! This is a great joy, a great joy for our Zhou family! The whole clan should celebrate together!"

He then exclaimed joyfully, "I will immediately issue the order: all cultivators of my Zhou family, whether they are members of the clan or their partners, will be rewarded with one hundred spirit coins as a celebration!"

He hadn't been this happy in a long time. Even when Zhou Daoquan or Zhou Daoyi opened the Purple Palace, they hadn't made him this happy.

Zhou Chun's successful opening of the Purple Mansion gave him a real glimpse of hope for the Zhou family to rebuild its glory, something that no one else could match.

Giving away tens of thousands of spirit coins as a reward is nothing at all.

Anyway, this way, the benefits won't go to outsiders; all the beneficiaries are the cultivators of the Zhou family.

Zhou Chun had no reason to stop Zhou Mingde's decision.

After avoiding the need to raise money to buy spiritual items to help him open his Purple Mansion, it wasn't difficult for the Zhou family to come up with such a sum of spiritual coins.

This would benefit all the cultivators in the clan, and it would also help him win people's hearts and build prestige. What reason did he have to object?

So when the news spread, the Zhou family cultivators, who were already happy that their family had gained a Purple Mansion stage cultivator, became even happier and shouted slogans such as "The Clan Chief is wise" and "The Supreme Elder is wise".

The entire Zhou family of Jiufengling was in a frenzy of celebration because of Zhou Chun's successful opening of his Purple Mansion.

The news of Zhou Chun's successful opening of his Purple Mansion quickly spread throughout the major cultivation families in Lanzhou, as well as cultivation families in other nearby states.

Upon learning of this, many cultivation families, while feeling envious and jealous, spontaneously sent people to the Zhou family at Nine Peaks Ridge to offer their congratulations, without needing an invitation from the Zhou family.

This is the influence the Zhou family wields today; every move they make can cause a regional upheaval!

Meanwhile, while Zhou Chun was busy receiving congratulatory messages from various families, in the distant Great Zhou Kingdom, a matter he had been concerned about finally came to a conclusion.

The Great Zhou Kingdom, Xiandu Market.

On this day, dark clouds suddenly gathered above a cave in the western part of Xiandufang City, forming a dark cloud covering tens of acres, with faint flashes of lightning moving within it.

At the same time, a suffocating atmosphere filled the surrounding area, forcing many cultivators in other nearby caves to stop their cultivation. Some even vomited blood and suffered internal injuries as a result.

This situation naturally angered these people, who all came out of their caves to see which audacious fellow dared to do such an offensive thing in the Immortal Capital Market.

But once these people left the cave and saw the enormous dark cloud, some of the more knowledgeable ones immediately blurted out its origin.

"A sign of successful Core Formation! Someone has successfully formed their Core in the market!"

Upon hearing this, the cultivators who had been filled with anger immediately changed their expressions, and their anger vanished instantly.

"It does indeed look like the omen of Core Formation recorded in ancient texts, but why choose this market town to form the Core?"

"I heard that at that grand auction more than ten years ago, someone spent a huge sum of money to buy a set of three spiritual items that aided in Core Formation. Could it be that the senior who successfully formed his Core was that mysterious buyer?"

"To achieve the Golden Core! This is the dream of countless cultivators like us, and today we witness someone else realize it!"

"After swallowing that golden pill, my fate was no longer in the hands of heaven. I truly hope that day will come for me!"

Around the cave dwelling that Lin Hongyu had rented, cultivators who had been drawn by the omen of Core Formation were all discussing the matter, and many were speculating about the identity of the person who had formed the Core. It was quite a lively scene.

But just as these people were expressing their feelings and discussing, a majestic and powerful voice suddenly rang out in the surrounding area.

"This is a restricted area; noise is strictly prohibited!"

Immediately afterward, a flash of green light appeared, and a round-faced man in a green robe appeared outside the cave where dark clouds were gathering.

The round-faced man's audacity in flying like that within the market area suggests he is one of the market's administrators.

His unfathomable cultivation level caused even some cultivators in the Purple Mansion stage to change color, their eyes filled with awe.

Upon seeing this person appear, Zhou Daoyi, who was hiding in the cave, immediately lost his joy at Lin Hongyu's successful Core Formation. He quickly flew out of the cave and bowed deeply to the round-faced man, saying, "Junior Zhou Daoyi greets senior."

"What is your relationship with that fellow cultivator who has formed his core in the cave? Why did you form your core here without reporting it beforehand?"

The round-faced man looked at Zhou Daoyi with a gloomy expression and spoke in a somewhat stern tone.

This made Zhou Daoyi even more nervous, and he hurriedly replied respectfully, "Replying to Senior, the one who has formed the Core in the cave is my Daoist partner. As for why we didn't report it in advance, it's simply that my wife and I were unaware of such a rule in the market. We didn't mean to conceal it, and we hope Senior will understand!"

Upon hearing his answer, a strange light flashed in the round-faced man's eyes, and he couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.

Then he said calmly, "Since you were unaware of it beforehand, we can punish you leniently. We'll fine you two 10,000 spirit coins each."

After saying that, he waved his sleeve and said, "You can pay the fine yourself at the Immortal Capital Palace. I will pay you a visit after the fellow Daoist inside comes out of seclusion."

Then, just as suddenly as it appeared, the figure vanished just as suddenly.

Seeing this, Zhou Daoyi could only clasp his hands in a salute to the sky and say, "This junior obeys and respectfully sees you off, senior."

After saying that, he glanced at the cultivators who had been attracted by the omen of Core Formation and immediately retreated back into his cave.

Soon after, the dark clouds that had gathered over Xiandu Market dissipated out of thin air, and the oppressive atmosphere disappeared as well.

However, Zhou Daoyi was unable to meet his Daoist partner.

Because Lin Hongyu had just successfully formed her core, she was unable to leave seclusion and needed to cultivate for a period of time to consolidate her cultivation.

However, with her successful formation of the Golden Core, Zhou Daoyi's role as her protector can now come to an end.

Knowing that there was a newly promoted Golden Core cultivator cultivating inside the cave, no foolish cultivator would dare to disturb them.

After exchanging a few words with Lin Hongyu, Zhou Daoyi left the cave and went to the Immortal Capital Palace deep in the market to pay a fine of 10,000 spirit coins. At the same time, he also paid two more years' rent for the cave.

After doing all this, he left Xiandu Market, where he had lived for more than ten years, and embarked on his journey back to his family.

Zhou Daoyi was in a hurry to go home, so naturally he wanted to go back first to share the good news.

Although he hadn't been home for over ten years, he knew that Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun in his family were eagerly awaiting this good news.

Furthermore, how to arrange things for Lin Hongyu after she successfully forms her core is also a matter that the Zhou family needs to pay attention to.

Zhou Daoyi needed to go back and discuss it with Zhou Mingde and the others first.

On the way back, Zhou Daoyi made a special detour to Yang Kingdom to tell Lin Wan'er the good news that Lin Hongyu had successfully formed her core, and then took Lin Wan'er with him to the Zhou family.

Two months after Zhou Chun returned to the Zhou family, Zhou Daoyi also returned to the Zhou family's mountain gate at Jiufeng Ridge with Lin Wan'er.

Upon his return, Zhou Daoyi had not yet had a chance to share the good news of Lin Hongyu's successful Core Formation with Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Chun, but instead learned the good news of Zhou Chun's successful Opening of the Purple Mansion.

Upon hearing the news, he was overjoyed, even more so than when he witnessed Lin Hongyu successfully form her core.

In his heart, he had always regarded Zhou Chun as his own nephew or junior. Now that he learned that Zhou Chun had caught up with him in terms of cultivation, how could he not be extremely happy and gratified?

In comparison, although Lin Hongyu was his Daoist partner, his feelings for her were far less profound than his feelings for Zhou Chun, his junior.

"This is truly double happiness, double happiness!"

On Pagoda Peak, when Zhou Mingde saw Zhou Daoyi return and learned from him that Lin Hongyu had successfully formed her core, he was overjoyed and exclaimed, "May Heaven bless the Zhou family!"

The second update is here!
