Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Chapter 452 Breakthrough to the Late Stage of the Purple Mansion Realm [8,000-word long chapter, please subscribe]

Zhou Chun himself certainly doesn't know any healing spells, but he has a Wood Spirit!

He is currently the most powerful person in the area, and there are no Golden Core cultivators among them. He releases the Wood Spirit, disguised as a second-tier high-grade demon beast, to heal people's injuries. Even if some people are surprised that he has such a demon beast by his side, it will not attract too much attention.

The people Zhou Chun was going to treat were at most at the late Foundation Establishment stage. Even the Wood Spirit, which only showed the cultivation of a second-tier high-grade demon beast, was enough to provide effective treatment for them.

After touring the wounded soldiers' camp with his spirit pet, treating each of the seriously injured soldiers and receiving a chorus of gratitude, Zhou Chun also took the opportunity to visit Yue Feng.

Interestingly, during these six months, Yue Feng also considered using connections to transfer.

However, Wei Yong blocked it.

The reason is simple: if Yue Feng, a late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator, is transferred away, the person transferred from there will only be a mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator.

This was clearly a losing proposition for Wei Yong.

Therefore, Yue Feng's transfer was put on hold, unless his backer was willing to transfer a late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator to exchange with him.

However, unless a cultivator in the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm commits a grave error, why would he willingly serve as the deputy commander of a large brigade?

Because of this, Yue Feng's days in the First Brigade are now quite dull and he's almost become withdrawn.

Unless he is on a mission or Zhou Chun summons him, he is usually reluctant to leave his residence.

In terms of daily management, Cheng Zhiming was so diligent in order to show off that he didn't need any help from him.

Zhou Chun could guess some of Yue Feng's thoughts, and he didn't actually intend to force Yue Feng to stay. He didn't really care whether Yue Feng left or not.

Visiting each other at this time is merely to maintain a facade of harmony.

Therefore, after exchanging a few polite words, he said calmly, "Vice Commander Yue, please rest assured and recover from your injuries. Our camp suffered heavy losses this time. Even if there are further battles, it will be the other camps' turn to fill the gaps. We will all have at least six months to recuperate!"

"Yes, I understand."

Yue Feng replied calmly, then watched Zhou Chun leave with a complicated expression.

It must be said that although he wanted to leave this place that made him feel stifled.

However, he had to admit that Zhou Chun was indeed much stronger than him and more suitable to be the commander of the First Brigade.

He had witnessed Zhou Chun's amazing performance on the battlefield and knew very well that Zhou Chun had held back when they fought that day.

Unfortunately, the conflict between the two had already begun on the first day, and he knew he couldn't possibly be arrogant at first and then obsequious later.

After returning to his private residence, Zhou Chun began to take stock of his gains from the previous battle.

In the previous war, he killed six demonic cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage, so his gains were considerable.

Needless to say, the belongings on the three Yin Ghost Sect demon cultivators and the two Corpse Demon Sect demon cultivators were all demonic materials, artifacts, and pills that Zhou Chun couldn't use; he could only exchange them for some battle merits.

There were very few truly valuable items in his storage bag; the total value was only around 70,000 to 80,000 spirit coins.

However, Xu Qinglin's relic from the Beast Demon Palace gave Zhou Chun a pleasant surprise.

The serpentine flying sword used by this demon, the green poison needle that ambushed Zhou Chun, and the dark green demon banner are all rare and exquisite magical artifacts, and cultivators can also unleash a certain degree of power from them.

Especially that green poison needle. It is unknown what kind of crystal it is made of. Its material is extremely hard and it has a miraculous effect on breaking through protective barriers and other supernatural abilities. In addition, it contains a deadly poison that can easily kill a cultivator in the Purple Mansion stage.

Fortunately, Zhou Chun used the [Heart-to-Heart Golden Lock] secret technique to hold the needle lock, otherwise, if it had actually hit him, even if it didn't kill him, it would have definitely severely damaged his vitality.

In addition, the serpentine flying sword is also quite good. Not only is the material itself hard, but the poison it emits can even corrode a precious sword like the "Golden Rainbow Sword". It is definitely a rare and exquisite magic weapon.

The same goes for that dark green magic banner. In the hands of the "Snake Demon" Xu Qinglin, this item demonstrated many wonderful uses and was undoubtedly a fine piece.

"These magical artifacts are all poisonous, and the toxicity is quite high. Could it be that Xu Qinglin is actually a rare poison cultivator?"

After examining several magical artifacts, Zhou Chun couldn't help but have the same question in mind.

The term "poisonous cultivator" is a name used by cultivators to refer to certain special types of cultivators.

In the world of cultivation, some cultivators, in pursuit of bizarre and powerful supernatural abilities, will take unorthodox paths, refining various highly toxic essences into their own magical power, or sealing them within their bodies using secret techniques, to be used as a means of combat.

These groups of cultivators are referred to as poison cultivators by other cultivators.

Poison cultivators are much rarer than insect cultivators. Zhou Chun had seen records of such cultivators in ancient books, but in reality, even though he had traveled to many countries, he had never had any dealings with such cultivators.

With this question in mind, Zhou Chun spent some more time cracking Xu Qinglin's storage bag, hoping to find the answer inside.

Unexpectedly, this led to a very surprising and delightful discovery.

Inside Xu Qinglin's storage bag, Zhou Chun unexpectedly discovered twelve dark green snake eggs. After identification, he confirmed that these snake eggs were indeed the eggs of the [Horned Snake], and none of them had been contracted to a master yet.

"That's right. It's not easy for a peculiar demon snake like the [Horned Serpent] to grow to adulthood. Even if Xu Qinglin has experience in cultivating them, it would definitely take him twenty or thirty years to cultivate them to the second rank. What he should be pursuing now is forming a golden core, so why would he be willing to spend resources and effort on this?"

"Once he forms his Golden Core, what use will these mere [Horned Serpents] be to him? It's better to keep these serpent eggs as bargaining chips in trade; even exchanging them for spirit coins could help him purchase spiritual items for Core Formation!"

After a moment's thought, Zhou Chun understood why Xu Qinglin hadn't formed a contract with these snake eggs to become his own, and then happily accepted them.

He then continued to take inventory of the contents of Xu Qinglin's storage bag, and soon made other discoveries and gains.

With a flicker of his expression, he took out a small jade box made of millennium-old cold jade from a pile of things.

The millennium-old cold jade is a magical material, but now it has been used to make a jade box, which shows the importance of what is inside the jade box!

Just as Zhou Chun reached out to open the jade box to see what treasures were inside, he suddenly seemed to remember something and patted the spirit beast pouch at his waist, releasing a "Mysterious Armored Golden Feather" that landed on the box lid.

Sure enough, as soon as the "Black Armor Golden Feather" landed on the box lid, it quickly turned blue and lost its life force, having been poisoned to death by the invisible, colorless, and odorless poison smeared on the lid!

Seeing this, Zhou Chun's eyes darkened, and he muttered to himself, "It really is a poison cultivator's method. Luckily, I had a backup plan, otherwise I might have really fallen for this guy's trick!"

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, he opened the jade box from a distance.

Inside the opened jade box, there was only a fist-sized fruit wrapped in a dark green leaf.

The fruit resembled a lantern fruit, with a thin, golden-green outer shell, but inside was a round, green fruit covered with countless purple spots.

Looking at the peculiar fruit, Zhou Chun searched through various ancient texts he had read, and before long, he found a similar object as a reference.

"This item appears to be the legendary Golden Dragon Fruit, a rare poison capable of killing even Golden Core cultivators. What is Xu Qinglin collecting this for?"

A look of surprise and doubt flashed in Zhou Chun's eyes. After examining the extremely poisonous fruit inside the jade box, he still waved his sleeve and closed the jade box first.

Then, he cleaned the jade box by washing it with water and burning it to remove the toxins. Only after confirming that there were no remaining toxins did he put the item into his storage bag.

Regardless of Xu Qinglin's purpose in collecting this item, such a rare poison capable of killing Golden Core cultivators is undoubtedly a treasure, and it may come in handy in the future.

Next, Zhou Chun learned from his mistake and released a large number of "Mysterious Armor Golden Feathers" to examine the other spiritual items left in Xu Qinglin's storage bag. Only after confirming that they were not poisoned did he dare to examine them closely.

However, whether it was because the poison was particularly rare or because he felt that repeating the same method was useless, Xu Qinglin did not apply poison to the other items in his storage bag.

After examining the books and jade slips, Zhou Chun quickly made new discoveries.

With a wave of his hand, a dark green jade book fell into his hand.

On the jade book, countless tiny silver characters, each the size of a grain of rice, were written, together forming a strange book called "The True Scripture of Ten Thousand Poisons".

This "True Scripture of Ten Thousand Poisons" is not only a cultivation method, but also a miraculous book that teaches people how to identify, produce, and detoxify poisons.

The book records many rare and exotic poisons that Zhou Chun had never heard of before, as well as the methods for making these poisons.

There are also various poison-based secret techniques with extremely difficult and painful cultivation processes, as well as methods for refining special magical artifacts, treasures, and poison pills, and methods for cultivating poisonous insects and beasts.

It can be said that the "Ten Thousand Poisons True Scripture" is a complete lineage of poison cultivation, and any cultivator can establish a poison cultivation sect with it!

However, this item is an incomplete scripture, and the cultivation techniques on it can only be practiced up to the Golden Core stage. The related poison techniques and secret arts also only cover up to the Golden Core stage.

At the beginning, the creator of this technique calls himself "True Lord of Ten Thousand Poisons," a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator!

Of course, whether it is a complete scripture or a fragment, Zhou Chun would not cultivate it, so there is no need to worry about that at this time.

What truly interested Zhou Chun were the methods for cultivating those poisonous insects and beasts.

Because, apart from certain special methods of cultivating poisonous insects and beasts that require the cultivator to be a poison cultivator, most of the time it is just a matter of gathering the relevant materials and refining them into medicine for cultivation.

This means that Zhou Chun and the cultivators of the Zhou family can also integrate it into their own beast-taming and insect-repelling techniques to cultivate some of the poisonous insects and beasts recorded above.

"This True Monarch of Ten Thousand Poisons is truly a genius. He was able to single-handedly integrate the strengths of various schools of thought and create a unique path for poison cultivation, even reaching the late Nascent Soul stage. It is truly astonishing and admirable!"

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Chun withdrew his attention from the jade book in his hand and couldn't help but feel admiration and respect for the book's creator, "True Lord of Ten Thousand Poisons".

Only after truly reading the contents of this jade book will one realize just how mysterious and profound this "Ten Thousand Poisons True Scripture" truly is!

The numerous poison techniques and secret arts recorded therein broadened Zhou Chun's horizons, and he couldn't help but marvel at them.

At the same time, some of the poison-related magical artifacts and elixirs recorded in it were particularly tempting to him.

Those skilled in making poisons must also know how to detoxify.

That "True Lord of Ten Thousand Poisons" was not only unparalleled in his poison skills, but also possessed unparalleled expertise in detoxification and healing.

It is recorded in the "True Scripture of Ten Thousand Poisons" that there is a special magical artifact called the "Hundred Poisons Pearl", which can kill enemies invisibly by spreading poison, and can also neutralize all kinds of poisons. There is also a magical treasure called the "Divine Pearl of Ten Thousand Poisons", which can cure all kinds of strange poisons in the world and absorb all kinds of strange poisons to enhance the power of the magical treasure.

In addition, there is a pill called "Tianxiang Bidu Dan" (Heavenly Fragrance Poison-Repelling Pill). Just taking one pill will make one immune to all poisons, immune to most toxins, and extremely resistant to many rare poisons.

What impressed Zhou Chun the most was that the cultivation method of the "Ten Thousand Poisons True Scripture" itself, as well as the cultivation methods of several other poison techniques recorded therein, did not have high requirements for the spiritual root aptitude of cultivators.

Even those with low-grade spiritual roots can cultivate at a speed comparable to those with high-grade spiritual roots, as long as they can endure the pain of cultivation and gather the necessary poisons.

Because the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator "True Monarch of Ten Thousand Poisons" himself had very low spiritual root aptitude, which was undoubtedly a low-grade spiritual root aptitude!

Furthermore, after reading the "True Scripture of Ten Thousand Poisons," Zhou Chun also understood why Xu Qinglin collected the "Golden Dragon Fruit."

Because the "True Scripture of Ten Thousand Poisons" records a special method for refining poison pills, the main ingredient of which is "Golden Dragon Fruit".

As long as one successfully refines that poison pill and can withstand its medicinal power, the success rate of pill formation will increase by 10% to 20%, and a Poison Dao Golden Pill will be formed after pill formation!

Xu Qinglin is not actually a true poison cultivator, because he did not cultivate the "Ten Thousand Poisons True Scripture".

However, if he can form a Poison Dao Golden Core, it will be much easier for him to switch to cultivating the "Ten Thousand Poisons True Scripture" later, and he can become a true poison cultivator.

This poison pill, which increases the success rate of Core Formation by 10-20%, is a unique secret medicine created by the "True Lord of Ten Thousand Poisons".

Unfortunately, Zhou Chun couldn't use this kind of poison pill, and neither could most cultivators.

Aside from poison cultivators, perhaps only a Purple Mansion stage cultivator like Xu Qinglin, who possesses extremely strong physical and poison resistance attributes due to the fusion of poisonous snake demon blood, could withstand the medicinal power of the poison pill and use it to condense a golden core.

Besides the "Ten Thousand Poisons True Scripture," Xu Qinglin's storage bag also contained a large amount of poisonous materials that he had collected for cultivating poisonous arts secret techniques and for future cultivation of poisonous arts. These things accounted for 60-70% of everything in his storage bag.

In addition, there were some relics of the Heavenly Spirit Legion cultivators he had killed, including about fifty to sixty thousand spirit coins, various magic weapons, talismans, and pills. For Zhou Chun, who was used to seeing the world, it was nothing special.

After taking stock of the harvest, Zhou Chun sorted everything out, putting together what needed to be handed over and what he could use himself, and then disposed of each item accordingly.

In the time that followed, Zhou Chun waited for news from Wei Yong while calmly cultivating the "God-Slaying Technique" and the "Heart Lotus Orthodox Method".

After waiting for more than a month, Zhou Chun finally received Wei Yong's summons.

Upon receiving the message, he immediately summoned Deputy Commander Cheng Zhiming and gave him instructions before rushing over to pay his respects.

"Zhou Zhengchun, commander of the First Battalion, greets Your Excellency!"

Inside the main hall, Zhou Chun immediately bowed respectfully to Wei Yong upon seeing him.

"Young friend Zhou, there's no need for such formalities. I'm sure you already know why I summoned you here today, so I won't keep you in suspense any longer."

Wei Yong smiled faintly and waved his hand, signaling Zhou Chun to stand up.

Then he raised his hand and patted the storage bag at his waist, and a pill bottle appeared in his hand, which he tossed to Zhou Chun.

"This is the Breakthrough Elixir [Jade Liquid Flowing Gold Elixir] that I have obtained for you. It is the most suitable elixir for a cultivator like you who practices metal-element techniques to break through barriers. After using this elixir to break through, you will only need to recuperate for a maximum of six months to eliminate any hidden dangers and no longer be afraid to fight others!"

Just as Zhou Chun reached out to catch the elixir bottle, he heard Wei Yong begin to explain the origin and purpose of the elixir inside.

His perspective was now vastly different from before, especially after becoming friends with the alchemy master Luo Qingni, which greatly broadened his understanding of various elixirs.

He had heard of the name "Jade Liquid Golden Elixir" before, and indeed, as Wei Yong said, it was the most suitable elixir for him to take in his current condition.

If this elixir were auctioned in the Great Zhou Kingdom, it would cost at least one or two hundred thousand spirit coins.

It was only because the Heavenly Spirit Alliance had integrated resources from various countries and received funding from other regions that they were able to bring him this most suitable elixir in just over a month.

Even if he had the money, it would be extremely difficult for him to buy such a miraculous elixir.

Upon hearing Wei Yong's words, he was overjoyed and immediately bowed deeply again, saying, "Your subordinate thanks you for your kindness, Commander. I will always remember your favor and never forget it!"

"This is a reward you deserve, so there's no need to thank me."

Wei Yong shook his head slightly, then looked at him and asked, "Now that you have the Breakthrough Pill, when do you plan to go into seclusion to take the medicine and break through?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately replied in a low voice, "This subordinate is already prepared. As long as the Commander approves, this subordinate can go into seclusion to break through at any time!"

"Then I'll grant you a year's leave, allowing you to return to your family's sect and break through your current limitations!"

After a moment's thought, Wei Yong revealed his plan.

After saying that, seemingly worried that Zhou Chun might find the time too short, he added with a serious expression, "A year's vacation is the limit I can negotiate for you. After all, the war is urgent, and it's impossible for you to have too much time for secluded cultivation!"

"Yes, I understand."

Zhou Chun nodded, showing complete understanding.

He hadn't expected to have much time for secluded cultivation anyway; a year would have been a very good outcome.

Moreover, too much time would be meaningless for him, and would actually hinder his ability to achieve great things and compete for the position of one of the "Seven Heroes of the Heavenly Spirit".

Next, under Wei Yong's arrangement, Zhou Chun completed the relevant procedures, then handed over the daily management and command of the First Brigade to Deputy Commander Cheng Zhiming, and temporarily left the battlefield with his spoils to return to the Zhou family.

Because of the urgency, Zhou Chun did not pay much attention to family affairs after returning to the Zhou family. He simply handed over the twelve [Horned Serpent] eggs to Zhou Mingde, asking him to hatch and cultivate them for the family cultivators as needed.

At the same time, he handed over the damaged "Golden Rainbow Sword" to Zhou Mingde, asking him to help send it to Qinglian Temple and find Qingweizi to have it repaired.

Zhou Chun then consumed the Jade Liquid Golden Pill in his cave and focused all his energy on breaking through the late-stage Purple Mansion barrier.

In fact, although the Breakthrough Elixir can help cultivators break through the barriers of minor realms, the success rate is not 100%.

Even the [Jade Liquid Golden Pill], the most suitable elixir for Zhou Chun, could only increase his success rate by 40% to 50%.

Therefore, to truly succeed in breaking through the barrier, one must rely on the cultivator's own accumulation and foundation.

Zhou Chun's accumulated knowledge was naturally not as profound as that of cultivators like Zhou Mingde, who had been stuck at the threshold of their cultivation realm for decades, but his foundation was not inferior.

The cultivation technique he practiced, "Golden Cauldron Profound Technique," was no less impressive than the top techniques of those major sects. Moreover, he had spent several decades in the early stage of the Purple Mansion realm, which allowed him to hone his foundation to a very solid level.

At this moment, with the help of the powerful medicinal effects of the Jade Liquid Golden Pill, he only tried a few times before successfully breaking through the realm barrier and officially entering the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm!

However, using the Breakthrough Elixir to break through the realm barrier does indeed damage the cultivator's dantian and meridians. After Zhou Chun successfully broke through, he was unable to meditate and cultivate for three or four months and could only slowly recuperate and recover from the damage.

Fortunately, the cultivation of the "God-Slaying Technique" does not involve the use of magical power, so it can be cultivated normally.

After about half a year of seclusion, Zhou Chun not only recovered from the injuries caused by taking the Breakthrough Elixir, but also successfully condensed the "God-Slaying Sword" and successfully cultivated the secret technique "God-Slaying Great Art".

"As I thought, after breaking through to the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm, my divine soul and spiritual sense have both increased, making it naturally easier to cultivate the 'God-Slaying Technique' than before. Now I have finally mastered this secret technique!"

Inside the cave, Zhou Chun used his divine sense to look inward and saw that a transparent sword had appeared between his hands in his Purple Mansion. That was the "God-Slaying Sword" that he had painstakingly forged.

In the future, if he were to fight another enemy, he would only need to activate the incantation to make this "God-Slaying Sword" leave his body to kill the enemy and sever their soul.

After visualizing his Purple Mansion, Zhou Chun then lowered his consciousness to his Qi Sea and Dantian.

Inside the dantian, the golden cauldron shone with spiritual light, suppressing a golden pond below.

After breaking through to the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm, Zhou Chun's magical power increased by nearly half again compared to before, and the quality of his magical power also became more refined.

Next, he only needs to cultivate step by step for a period of time, raising his magical power to a point where it can no longer increase, and then he can try to form his core.

"There's no rush to form the core. I used the Breakthrough Pill to break through my realm, which is inherently weaker than a normal breakthrough, and the pill toxins in my body also need time to dissipate."

"For at least the next ten years, it is not advisable to attempt to form the Core. Instead, one should solidify the foundation and hone one's magical power."

"It's not too late to try and form the Core after your magical power has reached its limit and your refining efforts have become ineffective!"

Zhou Chun's eyes gleamed with a sharp light. He had his own plans for his future cultivation and was not in a hurry to break through to the Core Formation stage.

All things considered, he is not even two hundred years old yet.

Anyone who can successfully form their core before the age of two hundred is considered a very successful cultivator in the cultivation world.

That means he will have another seven or eight hundred years to cultivate, and he will almost certainly be able to reach the late Golden Core stage and have the opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Conversely, if one fails to form a core at the age of over four hundred, then one's life will essentially be limited to the Golden Core stage.

At this time, only half of Zhou Chun's vacation had passed, and he still had six months to move around freely.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry to leave seclusion, but continued to bury himself in arduous cultivation, devoting more energy to the cultivation of the "Heart Lotus True Dharma".

Zhou Chun didn't expect to cultivate the "Heart Lotus Orthodox Method" to the third level in such a short time, but as long as he could make progress in cultivation, it would be of great help to him in his upcoming battles with demonic cultivators.

After all, he is now at the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm, which has greatly increased his resistance to the bewitching sounds of the Bewitching Valley demonic cultivators. With the help of this Mind-Cleansing and Concentrating Mystic Technique, he should be able to withstand the bewitching sounds of the vast majority of Bewitching Valley demonic cultivators.

Zhou Chun continued his cultivation until about a month before the end of his vacation, when he finally emerged from seclusion.

Having emerged from seclusion a month early, Zhou Chun naturally had things to do.

He first went to the wilderness and put the "Frostbite Bees" that had been treated with "Frostbite Breath" back into the hive from his spirit beast bag, replacing them with the demon bees that had been left in the hive before.

Zhou Chun then went to Qinglian Temple to find Qingweizi to exchange for a magic weapon.

Previously on the battlefield, Zhou Chun's "Golden Rainbow Sword" had been deeply corroded by the deadly poison and bloodthirsty aura, rendering it beyond repair.

This left him without a powerful weapon for attacking magical artifacts.

Furthermore, Zhou Chun had also discovered during the previous battles that he was lacking a versatile magical artifact like those demon banners.

His silver bell magic weapon was good for both offense and defense, but unfortunately, its offensive capabilities were not strong enough and its attack methods were rather limited.

In his battles with those demonic cultivators, he often had no choice but to adopt a defensive strategy in the face of their various strange secret techniques, supernatural abilities, and magical artifacts.

Therefore, Zhou Chun urgently needs two magical artifacts that can enhance his offensive and defensive capabilities and adaptability!

Faced with Zhou Chun's request, Qing Weizi did not refuse, but shook her head slightly and said, "Disciple, it's not impossible for you to exchange your magic weapon, but the magic weapons in our sect's treasury have all been selected by many of our disciples, and what's left may not meet your standards!"

He knew Zhou Chun's strength. Even though many of the magical artifacts stored in the Qinglian Temple's treasury had reached the third-tier high-grade level, their power might not satisfy Zhou Chun.

The truly good stuff has definitely already been replaced.

Zhou Chun was actually prepared for this, since the Zhou family's treasure vault was basically like this: the good stuff had long been picked over by the higher-ups, and what was left were things that the higher-ups didn't care about.

So after hearing Qing Weizi's words, he followed up by saying, "What about your personal collection, Master? What about the collections of your other senior uncles and masters? I'm replacing my magical artifacts now so I can better fight enemies and eliminate demons, and bring glory to our sect on the battlefield. You and your senior uncles and masters should help me out within your capabilities!"

Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, Qing Weizi shook her head again and said, "Since I became the sect leader, I have rarely gone to the battlefield to fight. What third-tier magic weapon would I have in my personal collection!"

"As for your secular senior masters, they also have their own disciples and grand-disciples. Even if they have some magical artifacts in their personal collections, they have probably given them to these younger generations for self-defense. I'm afraid they will not be able to fulfill your wishes!"

This clearly means they didn't intend to help Zhou Chun.

This made Zhou Chun's expression turn somewhat unpleasant.

He couldn't believe that the vast Qinglian Temple couldn't produce a few magical artifacts suitable for his use.

Qingweizi's actions only show that she no longer wants to invest any more resources in him.

This also illustrates that even if he were to successfully join the ranks of the "Seven Heroes of Heavenly Spirits" in the future, Qingweizi and Qinglian Temple would definitely not value him highly or cultivate and win him over because of this.

Having figured this out, Zhou Chun instantly lost any desire to continue feigning friendship with Qingwei and immediately replied in a low voice, "This disciple understands. Then this disciple will take his leave."

Upon hearing this, Qingweizi did not try to stop him at all, and simply watched him leave.

Even after Zhou Chun had left, Qing Weizi still let out a cold snort with a gloomy expression: "Hmph, you killed so many demonic cultivators on the battlefield and gained so much, and you also kept all the loot from Jiang Zhong and the others. Now you still want to set your sights on our sect. You are truly insatiable!"

From his perspective, Zhou Chun's act of demanding to exchange the magic weapon was nothing short of taking advantage of someone's kindness.

Feeling he had already invested enough, he certainly didn't want to tolerate Zhou Chun's behavior any longer and was determined to teach Zhou Chun a lesson, letting him know who was in charge!

On the other side, Zhou Chun, who was already extremely disappointed with Qingweizi and Qinglian Temple, did not return to his family after leaving the Qinglian Mountains, but instead rushed to the Yanyang Sect territory.

Since the path through Qinglian Temple is blocked, the only option left is to activate the backup plan and seek help from the weapon-refining master Zhu Wuyai.

As a master weapon refiner, not to mention his own collection, his extensive network of connections would certainly be able to help Zhou Chun achieve his goal.

However, Zhou Chun would definitely have to spend a lot of money to get Master Zhu to help him.

Fortunately, he is not short of spirit coins, nor is he short of thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, magical treasures, or spiritual materials.

With these three things, it should be enough to impress Master Zhu and make him willing to help me again!

Another long chapter of eight thousand words!
