Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Chapter 605 Wishes Fulfilled [Please Subscribe]

Yuling Gate.

When the extraordinary phenomenon of "the Emperor's Dew" appeared, Zhou Chun could not hide his excitement.

Even the spirit pets in his spirit beast pouch all conveyed their desire at the same moment, and they were all restless.

Aside from human cultivators who are confirmed unable to refine "Emperor's Elixir" for any benefit, any demon beast can obtain immense benefits from this rare treasure of heaven and earth.

Even ordinary wild beasts, if they have the chance to swallow a drop of "Emperor's Elixir", will instantly evolve into demon beasts and have great potential to break through to the second tier!

Despite his excitement, Zhou Chun did not immediately take action like the Great Elder of the Divine Wood Sect and others.

Instead, he slightly raised his head and looked up at the azure sky.

He was one of the few people who heard that exclamation of surprise earlier.

He even recognized the identity of the old man in the yellow robe.

That person was none other than Huang Yun, a renowned Nascent Soul stage cultivator within the Great Zhou Kingdom!

Zhou Chun had previously participated in exchange meetings of this old organization.

When Zhou Chun first saw this old man, he thought everything was settled and the Yu Ling Sect was doomed.

But after carefully considering the old man's words, his expression immediately changed.

Seeing the old man turn and leave without hesitation, he became even more certain of his guess!

There's someone behind the Imperial Spirit Sect!

Moreover, it wasn't just any powerful force; it was the Huangfu family, the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

As the number one cultivation family in the Great Zhou Kingdom, the Huangfu family is one of the top five major powers in the Great Zhou Kingdom, with unfathomable strength.

The key point is that, according to rumors, the strongest member of this clan is a fifth-tier superior demon king!

Zhou Chun didn't know how the Yu Ling Sect got involved with the Huangfu family, but since the Huangfu family was willing to lend out a top-grade magic weapon like the Golden Light Yuan-Breaking Cone to help the Rock Armor Giant Rhinoceros overcome its tribulation, it was clear that the relationship between the two was extraordinary.

At this moment, even Huang Yun Zhenren, a rogue cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, suddenly gave up the readily available "Emperor's Dew" and a weakened fifth-order demon king, which shows that in addition to lending out treasures, the Huangfu family also has powerful figures hiding nearby.

Perhaps this powerful figure is that fifth-tier superior demon king!

In light of this, Zhou Chun hesitated about whether he should intercept the "Emperor's Elixir".

If we make a move now, it will mean a complete break with the Spirit Control Sect. If the [Rock Armor Giant Rhinoceros] seeks revenge afterward, it will be truly difficult to withstand.

Conversely, if they don't intervene, the Yuling Sect is unlikely to specifically go to Jingguo to deal with the Zhou family.

After all, they were the ones who acted dishonestly back then, and the Zhou family is now nominally under the protection of the Moon Wheel Sect.

However, this would mean that the Golden-Winged Tiger's opportunity for a breakthrough would slip away right before his eyes.

On one hand, there is the potential retaliation from a powerful enemy that could threaten the family; on the other hand, there is the opportunity for his spirit pet to break through to the next level.

Zhou Chun was at a loss for what to do.

"Masazumi, what are you thinking about? Why haven't you made a move yet?"

At this moment, seeing Zhou Chun's changing expression and his lack of intention to move, Zhou Mingde frowned and couldn't help but ask him a question.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun quickly explained his own difficulties.

Upon hearing his words, Zhou Mingde's expression changed drastically, and he, like Zhou Mingde, found himself in a dilemma.

Actually, Zhou Chun called Zhou Mingde here this time not primarily to help deal with the people from the Yuling Sect, but mainly to allow his spirit pet, the Fire God Jackal, to also get a share of the spoils by consuming "Emperor's Elixir" to increase its success rate in breaking through to the fourth rank.

Therefore, the same choice that Zhou Chun is facing now exists in his life as well.

But to their surprise, just as they were caught in a dilemma, Lin Hongyu suddenly said, "In that case, neither of you should show yourselves. I will go and compete for the 'Emperor's Elixir'!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun and Zhou Mingde were both taken aback and looked at her.

Facing their gazes, Lin Hongyu immediately said calmly, "The Yuling Sect probably doesn't know much about my situation. As long as I change my appearance, I should be able to fool them in this situation."

"If I fail, then it means it is fate, and you need not take any more risks!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun hesitated for a moment before quickly nodding and replying, "Alright, then I'll leave this matter to you, Great-Grandmother!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and handed the spirit beast bag containing the Fiery Phoenix and the Golden-Winged Tiger to Lin Hongyu, telling her to take it for self-defense.

Even many elders of the Zhou family were unaware of the existence of this Fiery Phoenix, yet they were not afraid that once exposed, people would guess that it was related to the Zhou family.

As for the Golden-Winged Tiger, it was purely for the convenience of Lin Hongyu to feed it promptly after obtaining the "Emperor's Elixir".

After receiving the spirit beast pouch, Lin Hongyu immediately took to the air and sped towards the location of the [Rock Armor Giant Rhinoceros].

At this moment, the Grand Elder of the Divine Wood Sect, who had acted the fastest, had already arrived near the [Rock Armor Giant Rhinoceros] using the Wood Release technique.

After the person appeared, he first raised his sleeve and waved it, summoning a turquoise gourd magic weapon.

A burst of emerald green light surged from the gourd-shaped magical artifact, immediately sweeping towards the silver liquid descending from the sky.

At the same time, a dark blue flying sword suddenly flew out of his mouth, transforming into a sharp sword light that slashed towards the immobile [Rock Armor Giant Rhinoceros].

Unexpectedly, the sword stopped in mid-air just a few feet away from the Rock Armored Giant Rhinoceros. No matter how the Great Elder of the Divine Wood Sect urged it, it could not advance an inch further, as if it were blocked by an invisible wall.

This scene caused the Grand Elder of the Divine Wood Sect to change his expression drastically, and also made Zhou Chun, who was watching from the sidelines, turn gloomy.

Clearly, his guess came true; there was indeed a powerful being secretly protecting the [Rock Armor Giant Rhinoceros].

But what happened next surprised Zhou Chun slightly.

Although the Grand Elder of the Divine Wood Sect failed in his attempt to kill the Rock Armored Giant Rhinoceros, he did succeed in collecting the "Emperor's Essence"!

The emerald green light emitted by the gourd magic weapon successfully swept some of the "Emperor's Dew" back into the gourd.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun narrowed his eyes, and various guesses flashed through his mind in an instant.

Various thoughts raced through his mind, and he quickly flew towards the location of the other Golden Core elders of the Divine Wood Sect, transmitting his thoughts to one of them whom he had previously contacted.

After hearing Zhou Chun's telepathic message, the Golden Core elder of the Divine Wood Sect also changed his expression slightly, and then hurriedly discussed the matter with his fellow disciples.

Immediately afterwards, one of them sent a signal to recall the Grand Elder of the Divine Wood Sect, and directly summoned the assembled allied forces to attack the group of Yuling Sect disciples.

On the other side, when Lin Hongyu arrived near the scene, the landing of the "Emperor's Dew" was nearing its end. Only about half of the "Emperor's Dew" was absorbed into the body of the [Rock Armor Giant Rhinoceros] for its own transformation and recovery.

She happened to catch the last wave and hurriedly joined forces with several other Golden Core cultivators to compete for the falling silver liquid.

At that moment, the Rock Armored Giant Rhinoceros, which had remained motionless while the crowd intercepted the "Emperor's Dew," suddenly launched an attack.

But when it opened its mouth and roared, Lin Hongyu and the others who were collecting the "Emperor's Essence" were all shocked and lost their senses for a moment.

Immediately, several thick, grayish-white beams of light shot towards the Golden Core cultivators who had already reaped a great harvest.

what--

A piercing scream suddenly rang out from the sky. A late-stage Golden Core cultivator suddenly had one arm explode off, and covered in blood, he hurriedly fled into the distance.

The scream startled Lin Hongyu out of her daze. She looked at the other bursts of blood rain in the sky, her face pale, and hurriedly pulled a ball of "Emperor's Essence" back to her. Then she immediately released the Fiery Phoenix and rode it away in a sorry state.

Meanwhile, the Rock Armored Giant Rhinoceros had already swallowed the remaining "Emperor's Essence" in one gulp. After glancing briefly at Lin Hongyu, it immediately chased after the fleeing late-stage Golden Core cultivator.

Clearly, compared to Lin Hongyu, who only came at the end to pick up some scraps, the late-stage Golden Core cultivator who plundered at least one-tenth of its "Emperor's Essence" made it more furious and resentful.

call!

Seeing this, Zhou Chun breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Lin Hongyu's gains didn't seem great, she still managed to obtain a "Butterfly Essence." Now it's up to the Golden-Winged Tiger's own luck!

As for his side...

Zhou Chun glanced at the Shenmu Sect's allied forces, who were already engaged in a fierce battle with the Yuling Sect, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

He now roughly understood what had happened.

If he is not mistaken, the Huangfu family, due to certain reasons, cannot directly take the Yuling Sect as a vassal, nor can they directly send people to help the Yuling Sect deal with forces such as the Shenmu Sect.

They couldn't even attack those with cultivation levels below the Nascent Soul stage, except to help the Rock Armored Giant Rhinoceros through its tribulation and keep it alive.

Therefore, although the actions of those people who intercepted the "Emperor's Dew" did not align with the interests of the Huangfu family, the Huangfu family experts in the shadows could only pretend not to see it, and simply intervened to save the life of the [Rock Armor Giant Rhinoceros].

Similarly, without the participation of Nascent Soul stage cultivators, they cannot interfere in the war between the Divine Wood Sect and other forces and the Spirit Control Sect, even if the Spirit Control Sect is destroyed!

This mostly involves the power struggles between the top forces in the Great Zhou Kingdom, who all have to abide by certain tacit agreements.

After all, the Great Zhou Kingdom is different from a small country like the Jing Kingdom. The Great Zhou Kingdom has more than two hands full of Nascent Soul stage cultivators. It is impossible for everyone to be independent like the Jing Kingdom, and it is even more impossible to force all the small and medium-sized forces in the country to take sides.

If that had been done, the Great Zhou Kingdom would never be as prosperous as it is today.

It is precisely because of this policy of not forcing all small and medium-sized forces to take sides that the upper echelons of the Great Zhou Kingdom have not been completely blocked.

Sects like Leiya Valley can rise from mid-level to major power and become new elite sects simply because a Nascent Soul cultivator suddenly appears.

Some major sects have declined due to the passing away of their Nascent Soul stage cultivators, leaving them without successors.

Whether a major power rises or falls, it only affects the power itself and a small number of its vassal powers. It will not involve too many people and will not cause the foundation of the country to be destabilized.

Under this model, even if the Huangfu family reached some agreements with the Yuling Sect in private, they could not openly accept the Yuling Sect, a sect with a history of thousands of years, as a vassal.

So theoretically speaking, if they weren't afraid of the Huangfu family secretly retaliating afterward, they could just watch as the Yuling Sect was destroyed at this point.

"It's a pity my disguise couldn't fool a Nascent Soul cultivator, otherwise I would have definitely taken this opportunity to kill one or two Golden Core cultivators from the Spirit Control Sect and made them bleed a lot!"

After some hesitation, Zhou Chun suppressed his murderous intent and told Zhou Mingde to retreat first.

A cultivator's revenge is never too late, even after a thousand years!

It's not a good time to cause trouble for the Yuling Sect right now, because we're wary of the Huangfu family and that [Rock Armor Giant Rhinoceros] that has already survived its tribulation.

Once he has the strength to not fear that [Rock Armor Giant Rhinoceros], he will naturally come and destroy the Spirit Control Sect himself!

After leaving the battlefield, Zhou Chun did not go to find Lin Hongyu, nor did he take Zhou Mingde to Tianyuan Immortal City. Instead, he went to the vicinity of the Shenmu Sect's mountain gate to lie in wait.

He had witnessed it before; the Grand Elder of the Divine Wood Sect's gourd-shaped magic weapon had taken away more than ten times the amount of "Emperor's Essence" that Lin Hongyu had obtained.

Such a large quantity is certainly more than the Shenmu Sect could possibly use.

Therefore, Zhou Chun planned to exchange places with the other party after they returned.

Of course, this is all on the premise that the other party can come back alive!

After waiting for almost a day, Zhou Chun finally saw the Grand Elder of the Shenmu Sect return with his remaining troops.

Originally, the Shenmu Sect had five Golden Core cultivators. Apart from leaving one early Golden Core cultivator to guard the sect, the remaining four Golden Core cultivators went to the Yuling Sect.

However, of the group from the Shenmu Sect who returned to the mountain gate with fewer than a hundred people, only the Great Elder of the Shenmu Sect and another early-stage Golden Core cultivator survived.

It is clear that this battle must have been extremely fierce!

Just as they were about to return to the mountain gate, Zhou Chun suddenly appeared and blocked their way. The Grand Elder of the Divine Wood Sect's expression changed, and he glared at Zhou Chun angrily, shouting, "Su Qin, how dare you appear before me! Why didn't you fulfill your promise and take action before?!"

Su Qin was naturally the alias Zhou Chun used when he contacted the Shenmu Sect cultivators, and his current appearance was also a disguise.

Faced with the accusation from the Grand Elder of the Shenmu Sect, he calmly said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, you don't need to take your anger out on me. I am not an enemy of your Shenmu Sect."

"As for why I didn't take action, I naturally have my own reasons. It seems I'm not under your command, Fellow Daoist Lin!"

These seemingly innocuous words instantly ignited the anger of the Grand Elder of the Divine Wood Sect, who immediately glared at him and roared, "Then what are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me?"

"No, no, I've come here to make a deal with Fellow Daoist Lin, and also to do my part in preserving the flame of your Divine Wood Sect!"

Zhou Chun didn't care about the anger of the Grand Elder of the Divine Wood Sect at all, and even slowly stated his purpose with a smile.

Sure enough, upon hearing his words, the Grand Elder of the Divine Wood Sect immediately focused his gaze and suppressed his anger.

Then, staring coldly at him, she asked, "What kind of deal do you want to make?"

"Naturally, it's the 'Emperor's Elixir' in Fellow Daoist Lin's possession!"

Zhou Chun smiled slightly and stated what he wanted.

The Grand Elder of the Divine Wood Sect seemed unsurprised by his request, simply continuing to coldly ask, "And what have you prepared in exchange?"

"How about a magic weapon? I, Su, can exchange a mid-grade magic weapon for half of the 'Emperor's Elixir' in Fellow Daoist Lin's possession!"

Zhou Chun tentatively said.

The value of one mid-grade magic weapon is equivalent to that of two low-grade magic weapons, and converted into spirit coins, it is worth millions of spirit coins!

Without considering whether there is any stock on the market, if you use these spirit coins to buy eight or ten Core Formation spirit items, it wouldn't be a problem!

Therefore, Zhou Chun's offer cannot be considered low.

However, faced with his offer, the Grand Elder of the Divine Wood Sect merely sneered and said, "Do you think I or our sect lack magical treasures? Unless you can produce a high-grade magical treasure, don't blame me for not giving you a chance!"

The difficulty in obtaining magical treasures is relative.

"Emperor's Dew" is a rare find in the world, obtainable only through extraordinary chance and good fortune!

Moreover, this was a treasure obtained by the Grand Elder of the Divine Wood Sect at the risk of his life.

He certainly wouldn't use it to exchange for magical artifacts he didn't need.

Zhou Chun understood this principle in his heart.

So he quickly abandoned his delusions and turned to the Grand Elder of the Divine Wood Sect, saying, "How about the pills used to aid in breaking through the mid-stage Golden Core barrier? I'll exchange two spirit pills for half of the 'Emperor's Elixir' in Fellow Daoist Lin's possession. Is that acceptable?"

"You still have this kind of elixir?"

The Grand Elder of the Divine Wood Sect was slightly startled, then frowned and looked at Zhou Chun, saying, "Whether it will work or not, I need to inspect the goods first!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately shook his head and said, "I don't have the actual product yet, but I have almost gathered all the spiritual herbs needed for the pill formula. It will be ready in less than three years. To convince you, Fellow Daoist Lin, I can show you part of the pill formula!"

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder of the Divine Wood Sect's face darkened, and he sneered, "Without even a physical object, how can I believe you?"

He then flicked his sleeve and said, "Fine, since you have no sincerity, then leave. I have no time to waste my breath on you!"

"Fellow Daoist Lin, please wait. What I just said is not an empty promise. If you feel uneasy without a tangible object, I can offer a five-thousand-year-old spiritual herb as collateral!"

Zhou Chun gritted his teeth and secretly transmitted his final plan.

Upon hearing his words, the Grand Elder of the Divine Wood Sect's expression changed.

But the man immediately said, "Do you really possess such a miraculous elixir?"

"I would never lie to Fellow Daoist Lin about this. The item is on me, and you can inspect it at any time!"

Zhou Chun responded with a serious expression.

Seeing his reaction, the man immediately said, "Since that's the case, I can give you half of the 'Emperor's Elixir,' but I don't want your unfinished pill; I only want the spiritual medicine you have!"

"That won't do, or I'll be at a huge disadvantage!"

Zhou Chun shook his head repeatedly, unwilling to accept this exchange.

However, the Grand Elder of the Divine Wood Sect remained remarkably calm, replying coldly, "If it's not feasible, then so be it. I won't force you!"

After saying that, he was about to leave with his men.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun's expression changed several times, and he finally had to sigh and say, "Fine, let's do as Fellow Daoist Lin says!"

A quarter of an hour later, Zhou Chun returned to Zhou Mingde's side with a bottle of "Emperor's Elixir" that he had obtained from the Grand Elder of the Divine Wood Sect.

The five-thousand-year-old Jade Lingzhi that he brought out from the secret island has become someone else's property.

It's hard to say who won or lost in this deal; it's more accurate to say that both parties got what they needed!

The Grand Elder of the Divine Wood Sect needs spiritual herbs of this caliber as gifts to find a powerful backer, while Zhou Chun also needs "Emperor's Elixir" to help his spirit pet break through and advance.
