Chapter 462 Inventorying the Goods, The Golden-Winged Tiger's Fortuitous Encounter [Please Subscribe]

Tuyunling.

Because Zhou Chun had previously killed as many as four Purple Mansion stage demonic cultivators in the Desolate Spirit Desert, it would take him quite a while to tally up the spoils on these demonic cultivators.

To save time, he simply asked Zhou Mingde to help with the counting as well.

Among the four demonic cultivators, the storage bags on their bodies were the most abundant, with the blue-haired demonic cultivator and "Blood Fiend Prince" Yan Wuji being the most wealthy.

The green-haired demonic cultivator had previously spent some time on the "Seven Fiends of the Primordial Demons," and he liked to use his wind escape technique to abduct and kill those early and mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivators. His storage bag contained a great many treasures.

Zhou Chun alone collected over 89,000 spirit coins of various kinds that could be used by the Heavenly Spirit Alliance.

There are as many as eleven third-tier magic artifacts, fifteen third-tier magic talismans, and various other pills and miscellaneous items.

Of the truly valuable items left behind by this person, there are five.

One of them was the Qimen curved knife magic weapon he used. This weapon was not only incredibly sharp, but also had the effect of breaking spells and shields. It was a magic weapon tailor-made for him and a god-tier weapon for crushing noobs!

The green-haired demonic cultivator used his pair of curved blades and his own wind escape technique to easily cut down and kill those early and mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivators at close range.

The second treasure was found by Zhou Chun on his corpse; it was a purplish-black jade pendant that he had kept close to his body.

The reason why the green-haired demonic cultivator was able to quickly regain his senses after being attacked by Zhou Chun's "God-Slaying Sword" was because this item had worked.

This is a rare treasure that can automatically protect its owner after the owner is attacked targeting their soul and consciousness.

Zhou Chun can also use this item. With it on his person, he will hardly have to worry about being controlled by those late-stage Purple Mansion demonic cultivators from the Valley of Love and Passion in the future.

The third treasure was something Zhou Chun was very familiar with: a Core Formation spiritual item called [Extreme Yang Fire Spirit Liquid].

Given the strength and cultivation level of the green-haired demonic cultivator, it's not surprising that he possesses such a Core Formation spiritual item; in fact, it would be surprising if he only had one Core Formation spiritual item.

The fourth treasure was the demon core of the dead spirit pet of the green-haired demon cultivator.

A demon core from a third-tier, low-grade earth-elemental demon beast is undoubtedly a good tonic for the Golden-Armored Mountain-Carrying Turtle Stone. Zhou Chun directly fed it to his spirit pet as a reward for its previous loyalty in saving its master.

The fifth treasure was a spiritual fruit!

It was a purplish-red spiritual fruit that the green-haired demonic cultivator had specially preserved in a spirit-sealing jade box. It looked like a tomato, felt soft to the touch, and contained pure spiritual energy.

Zhou Chun didn't actually recognize the purplish-red spiritual fruit, but when he took it out, the exotic fragrance it emitted made his several spirit pets eager to try it.

The Golden-Winged Tiger, in particular, was filled with longing for this purplish-red spiritual fruit and kept conveying its desire to him.

After communicating with several spirit pets, Zhou Chun learned that they all felt that eating the purplish-red spirit fruit would bring them some kind of benefit, and their bloodline instincts made them crave to eat it.

After hesitating for a while, he still fed the creature to the golden-winged tiger.

Of his four spirit pets, only the Golden-Winged Tiger's cultivation level remains at the second-tier high-grade demon beast level, having not improved for many years.

He originally wanted to obtain a [Four Spirits Blood Transformation Pill] for him to break through in the Great Zhou Kingdom, but unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and for various reasons, the matter was put on hold for a long time.

The Golden-Winged Tiger, now only at the second-tier high-grade demon beast level, is no longer even a suitable companion beast, and has become practically invisible.

This always makes Zhou Chun sigh with regret whenever he thinks about it.

Now that there's an opportunity to take it a step further, Zhou Chun naturally wants to prioritize taking care of it.

Of course, Zhou Chun was never one to show favoritism.

After the Golden-Armored Mountain-Carrying Turtle Stone and the Golden-Winged Tiger both benefited, Lei Jiao Bai Bai, who had also made great contributions, naturally couldn't be left behind.

He immediately fed it the third-grade high-quality silver-armored dragonfish demon pill that he had originally intended to use to refine the "Dragon Spirit Pill," helping it break through to the third-grade mid-quality demon beast realm.

As for the Wood Spirit, there is nothing usable against it for the time being, so we can only promise to take it to certain places in the wilderness to cultivate in the future.

After taking stock of the gains from the green-haired demonic cultivator, Zhou Chun then proceeded to take stock of the gains from "Blood Fiend Prince" Yan Wuji.

In terms of strength and status, Yan Wuji was superior to the green-haired demonic cultivator, so his gains were naturally substantial.

Leaving aside the demonic artifacts he used, even if they were still usable, Zhou Chun couldn't use them, including that valuable "pseudo-magic weapon."

These items can only be handed over to the Heavenly Spirit Legion as spoils of war from killing the enemy, or one item can be kept as proof of his honor.

However, Yan Wuji's storage bag contained quite a few usable items.

Among them, there are approximately 140,000 spirit coins that can be used by the Heavenly Spirit Alliance, as well as eight third-tier magic artifacts, fourteen third-tier magic talismans, and a number of pills.

There were also two talisman treasures, which, judging from their design, were likely seized from cultivators of the Heavenly Spirit Alliance.

At the same time, Zhou Chun also found a spiritual pill called "Purple Dust Pill" that helps open the Purple Mansion in his storage bag, as well as seven "Foundation Building Pills". These should also be items he obtained on the battlefield. It is unknown which unlucky guys exchanged for these items and ended up in his hands before they could be given to their juniors.

Unfortunately, Zhou Chun did not find any Core Formation spiritual items in the "Blood Fiend Prince's" storage bag. It is possible that he entrusted such treasures to his father for safekeeping.

In addition, Yan Wuji's storage bag contained many magical items, including spare magical artifacts, elixir materials, and many other items, none of which appeared to be ordinary.

Unfortunately, Zhou Chun had no use for these things, nor could he possibly use them to aid the enemy.

Therefore, upon careful calculation, the green-haired demonic cultivator actually reaped more from his storage bag!

Zhou Chun then checked the storage bags of the two demonic cultivators he had killed in the Desolate Spirit Desert.

This time, he shook his head and had nothing to say.

These two storage bags from the Yuanmo Realm were almost entirely filled with unusable demonic items.

"It seems the demonic cultivators from the Beast Demon Palace and the Corpse Demon Sect are more lucrative. We'll have to prioritize taking care of their cultivators on the battlefield next time!"

After Zhou Chun finished counting the spoils, he made a summary.

He then entrusted the Purple Dust Pill and the Foundation Establishment Pill to Zhou Mingde, who was in charge of the family, for safekeeping. He then packed the demonic cultivation items into a separate storage bag and took them to the Moon Wheel Sect.

Keeping his whereabouts secret was of utmost importance for this trip to the Moon Wheel Sect, so Zhou Chun disguised himself and it took him nearly two days to reach the sect's gate.

He didn't dare to visit her directly using his real name, but instead handed over a token that his aunt Su Yunniang had given him before, in order to contact Su Yunniang, a Golden Core elder of the Moon Wheel Sect.

Because it was a token from a Golden Core elder of the sect, the Moon Wheel Sect disciples who were receiving Zhou Chun outside the mountain gate did not dare to neglect it and quickly helped Zhou Chun deliver the token to Su Yunniang.

Upon seeing the token and inquiring about the situation, Su Yunniang understood Zhou Chun's intentions and quickly had a disciple lead Zhou Chun to her cave.

Only after the disciple led Zhou Chun to his cave and ordered the disciple to leave did he...

Su Yunniang, whose expression had been calm, suddenly changed her demeanor, looking at Zhou Chun with a mocking smile and saying, "Oh, look who's here! The renowned 'Young Master Yulong' has actually deigned to grace my humble abode with his presence. I am truly humbled and honored!"

Hearing her sarcastic and mocking words, Zhou Chun could only manage a wry smile.

He had actually anticipated this when he arrived.

After all, no matter how many legitimate reasons he had, choosing to deceive even his own Daoist wife was itself a form of distrust and insult towards her.

As Su Yuzhen's maternal family member and the elder who loved her the most, Su Yunniang naturally had to condemn his behavior on behalf of her niece.

Faced with Su Yunniang's sarcasm and ridicule, he could only smile bitterly, bow, and say, "Aunt, please forgive me. I was indeed wrong to conceal the matter of the Four-Clawed Thunder Dragon. You may hit or scold me as you please, I will not say a word. I only ask that you forgive me this once and give me a chance to make amends!"

However, Su Yunniang was not so easily appeased. Faced with his words of apology, she coldly replied, "I dare not accept such words from 'Young Master Yulong.' How could I, Su Yunniang, a mere survivor hiding in the rear, dare to berate 'Young Master Yulong,' who has made great contributions to the Heavenly Spirit Alliance? How could I have the right to scold such a meritorious official as you!"

Judging from her words, she was clearly angry, and it wasn't just a simple attempt to reprimand Zhou Chun.

This is what makes her different from the Su family patriarch.

The Su family patriarch had to think of the Su family's interests, even though he loved Su Yuzhen and was angry that Zhou Chun had concealed the matter of the Four-Clawed Thunder Flood Dragon.

However, for the sake of the Su family's future, even if he saw Zhou Chun, he would at most make a few sarcastic remarks and then let the matter drop, and might not even bring it up.

However, Su Yunniang is a Golden Core Elder of the Moon Wheel Sect. Even if Zhou Chun successfully forms his Golden Core in the future, he will not be able to compare with her in terms of status and position. She has no need to care about how much Zhou Chun will achieve in the future.

So if Zhou Chun upset her, she could get angry and lose her temper without any hesitation.

Zhou Chun was also aware of this.

Therefore, seeing that she was really angry, he knew that simply saying a few words of apology would not be enough to appease her anger; he would need to show enough sincerity by offering real money.

So he immediately reached out and touched the storage bag at his waist, and a jade box appeared in his hand.

Then, holding the jade box in both hands, he handed it to Su Yunniang, saying, "I know that the matter of Bai Bai transforming into a dragon should not be kept from Yu Zhen, so after my lucky return, I haven't dared to face Yu Zhen at the Su family. Aunt, you are Yu Zhen's closest relative, and I can only beg you to help me explain and plead with her, asking her to forgive my deception this time, and to deliver this [Extreme Yang Fire Spirit Liquid] to her on my behalf!"

At this point, he lowered his voice and said, "If Yuzhen still refuses to forgive me, please tell her that after the war ends, if I am lucky enough to survive on the battlefield, I will personally go to the gates of the Su family and kneel down to beg for her forgiveness!"

Sure enough, after hearing his heartfelt words, Su Yunniang's eyes showed emotion, and her expression softened.

She glanced at the jade box in Zhou Chun's hand, looking at him with suspicion, and said, "This kind of spiritual treasure for Core Formation, you're not keeping it for yourself to use when you form your own Core, are you really willing to give it to Yu Zhen?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately replied respectfully, "I dare not deceive you, Aunt. I previously obtained a [Yin-Yang Fusion Pill] by slaying 'Corpse Fiend General' Jiang Zhong. This time, after killing 'Blood Fiend Prince' Yan Wuji, the alliance should bestow upon me another Core Formation Spiritual Item. With a little more effort in the future, I should be able to collect another Core Formation Spiritual Item for myself!"

After he said that, Su Yunniang actually believed his sincerity.

However, she did not accept the gift, but stared at him and said calmly, "Whether you are sincere or just trying to appease me, this is not something I should accept."

After saying that, he looked at Zhou Chun and instructed him, "If you are truly sincere in apologizing and repenting, why wait until the future? Why not personally bring this item to the Su family to apologize to Yu Zhen? Wouldn't that show more sincerity?"

Upon hearing her words, Zhou Chun knew that her anger had subsided.

He was overjoyed and quickly replied respectfully, "Yes, thank you for your guidance, Aunt. I will apologize and repent to Yuzhen as soon as I get back!"

"Alright, this is really just a matter between you two, it's none of my business as an outsider. You came to see me here for more than just this, didn't you?"

Su Yunniang waved her hand, taking the initiative to let the matter drop, and then asked Zhou Chun about his true purpose.

She knew, of course, that Zhou Chun's visit to the Moon Wheel Sect instead of going to the Su family first meant he needed her help.

This was also the reason why she dared to give Zhou Chun such a hard time before.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately followed her words, saying, "Auntie, you're not an outsider. The reason I've come to see you today is not only to ask for your help in pleading with Yu Zhen, but also because I have something I'd like you to consider!"

"Speak, what is it?"

Su Yunniang glanced at him and said in a calm tone, seemingly not easily swayed by his sweet words.

Zhou Chun ignored all of that and immediately expressed his idea of ​​using the situation to break the deadlock, while also mentioning that he wanted to ask a master from the Moon Wheel Sect to help resolve the "Blood Soul Guidance".

Anyone with eyes can see the current state of the Zhou family, let alone Su Yunniang.

With Su Yuzhen's connection to Zhou Chun, Su Yunniang would certainly not stand by and watch Zhou Chun and the Zhou family be destroyed.

So Zhou Chun told her about this not only to show his sincerity, but also because he knew there wouldn't be any serious consequences.

Hearing him tell her such a secret and important matter, Su Yunniang's attitude became even more friendly, and she basically believed his sincerity.

After a moment of contemplation, she nodded slightly to Zhou Chun and said, "Your idea is not wrong, but whether it can be accomplished depends on your and your Zhou family's own fate."

"As for my master, I will send a message for you, but whether he is willing to meet with you is not up to me!"

Although she was a Golden Core elder of the Moon Wheel Sect, she actually had little say in important sect affairs.

After all, the Moon Wheel Sect has more than twenty Golden Core elders like her, and each of them has more seniority than her, the newly formed Golden Core elder.

Therefore, the only way she could help Zhou Chun was by helping him pass on information to the true leader of the Moon Wheel Sect, Master Baiyue.

Zhou Chun was aware of this as well, and immediately nodded upon hearing it, saying, "I understand, Auntie is all I need to do to pass on the message."

So Su Yunniang immediately took out a communication flying sword and sent a message to Baiyue Zhenren, informing him that Zhou Chun was in her cave.

Shortly after the message was sent, she received a message from Master Baiyue via flying sword.

After reading the message from Master Baiyue on her communication flying sword, she immediately looked relaxed and said to Zhou Chun, "Master Uncle has agreed to see you. I'll take you to see him now."

After saying that, he led Zhou Chun to the main hall of the Moon Wheel Sect.

Not long after, Zhou Chun met what could be considered the most powerful cultivator in the Jing Kingdom, the Moon Wheel Sect leader, Master Baiyue.

The Moon Worshiping Immortal did not appear to be old; his long black hair was casually draped behind him without being tied up, and his face exuded a dignified air.

He sat upright on a crescent-shaped Qimen chair. After Zhou Chun finished bowing and paying his respects, he looked at Zhou Chun and slowly said, "Young friend Zhou has made great contributions this time and has been named one of the 'Seven Heroes of Heavenly Spirits,' which has greatly boosted the morale of the cultivation world of our Jing Kingdom. Our sect has also made a good impression within the alliance. In fact, I should thank you, young friend."

Zhou Chun hadn't expected him to say something like that first.

After a slight pause, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Senior, you flatter me. With my meager cultivation, I am already content with just a word of praise from you. How could I dare to accept your thanks!"

Seeing his cautious demeanor, Master Baiyue chuckled and said, "Hehehe, young friend Zhou, don't be modest. As far as I know, your actions have already reached the ears of several senior commanders of the Heavenly Spirit Legion. They have heard of your name and greatly admire your performance. Otherwise, you wouldn't have earned your title as one of the 'Seven Heroes of Heavenly Spirit' so quickly!"

Is there really such a thing?

Upon hearing what Master Baiyue said, not only Zhou Chun, but even Su Yunniang, who was listening in the hall, couldn't help but show surprise.

Zhou Chun was filled with joy.

He's not afraid of being noticed by Nascent Soul stage cultivators; he's afraid of not being able to attract the attention of those big shots.

With the attention of these bigwigs, those who want to harm them with schemes and tricks will have to consider the consequences if their plans are exposed.

But he still kept saying "I am humbled" and adopted a very low posture.

Seeing this, Master Baiyue knew he was still somewhat reserved, so he took the initiative to look at him and said, "Young friend Zhou, could you tell me the details of your operation in the Desolate Spirit Desert? Although I have learned some information, I know nothing about what you did!"

"Yes, junior obeys."

Zhou Chun responded and immediately recounted how he had joined the team in the operation and how he had been blocked by the demonic cultivator reinforcements.

During this time, he also revealed in detail how he killed the green-haired demonic cultivator and "Blood Fiend Prince" Yan Wuji, after concealing the "God-Slaying Technique".

He then briefly recounted how he used the deep valley and dangerous terrain to temporarily avoid the enemy's attacks, and how he used the giant tiger puppet to scheme and kill the blood bone puppet.

Then he focused on how he used Lei Jiao Bai Bai's identity to force the giant turtle to help him defend against the attack of two Golden Core stage demonic cultivators.

As for his return to Jingguo, he decided to take the route through Yunzhou.

His statements were nine parts truth and one part falsehood.

Unless Master Baiyue can confront the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe, it will be impossible to see where he is lying.

Moreover, he wasn't lying; he simply intentionally avoided revealing information about the Golden-Armored Mountain-Carrying Tortoise.

After listening to Zhou Chun's account, Master Baiyue looked at him with surprise and clapped his hands in praise, saying, "Tsk tsk tsk, wonderful, truly wonderful!"

"Just from hearing Zhou's account, one can understand how dangerous his mission was."

"Yet, young friend Zhou was able to escape danger successfully with the help of external forces, relying on his wisdom and courage. He truly is both brave and resourceful, possessing both intelligence and courage!"

His words were full of admiration for Zhou Chun.

Su Yunniang, who was also hearing Zhou Chun recount this experience for the first time, looked at Zhou Chun with shining eyes, her gaze filled with admiration. She was becoming more and more satisfied with this nephew-in-law.

"I was just lucky. If it weren't for that deep valley filled with golden evil energy, that giant turtle-like demonic beast, and the three-headed black serpent that came to retaliate, I'm afraid I would have already died at the hands of that Golden Core demonic cultivator!"

Zhou Chun said with a look of relief, not ignoring Baiyue Zhenren's praise, but also maintaining a sense of humility.

This made Baiyue Zhenren's impression of him much better.

"He remains humble in victory, calm in the face of danger, and blessed with good fortune; he is indeed a promising talent capable of great things. No wonder Qingweizi is wary of him!"

Baiyue Zhenren looked at Zhou Chun with a glint in his eyes, and made his own judgment in his heart.

He then stopped probing and looked directly at Zhou Chun, saying, "According to what Junior Nephew Su said, you have come to our sect's gate to request an audience with me. May I ask what it is?"

Hearing him finally bring up the matter, Zhou Chun perked up.

He hurriedly bowed and said, "Senior, you are wise. I have come to see you to ask for your help in removing the 'Blood Soul Guiding' secret technique that I have been afflicted with. In addition, I wish to offer the corpses of the demonic cultivators I have killed and the related demonic artifacts to you!"

Hearing this, Master Baiyue looked at him meaningfully and said, "If it's about these two matters, you should go to Fellow Daoist Qingweizi. Isn't he your master? He would be happy to help you with these things!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately smiled wryly and said, "Senior is joking. Outsiders may not know the details of my master-disciple relationship with Abbot Qingweizi, but don't you know? He was already angry with me when I asked him for protective items. After I broke through to the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm, I wanted to exchange some magic artifacts with him, but he refused!"

"I fear that if I go to see him now, not only will the hidden dangers on my body remain, but he will also take away my fourth-tier puppet and the spoils I fought so hard for!"

His words were a direct rip-off, revealing all his true colors.

Therefore, after speaking, he knelt down before Master Baiyue, bowed deeply, and said, "Senior, I know that I and the Zhou family are now on the verge of disaster. If we are not careful, we will be doomed. I beg you to lend a helping hand and save the Zhou family!"

"If you, senior, would lend a helping hand to this junior and the Zhou family today, this junior and the entire Zhou family would forever be grateful for your kindness and that of the Moon Wheel Sect, and would always be willing to serve as your and the Moon Wheel Sect's sharpest weapon, fighting for you and the Moon Wheel Sect in all directions!"
