The return of Zhou Daoyi and others gave the Zhou family a lot more manpower.

Zhou Chun asked Zhou Zhengyong, who had just opened the Zifu, to take charge of Jiufeng Ridge, and asked Lin Wan'er to go to the wilderness to take charge of the Caiyu Mountain stronghold.

Zhou Daoyi, led by the Zhou family, teamed up with monks from Tianjing Villa and other forces to form a joint demon elimination team, responsible for cleaning up the remaining demon cultivators in Lingzhou and Lanzhou.

Because the Zhou family is willing to subsidize the members of the joint demon slayer team with spiritual coins, and killing demon cultivators can also be exchanged for rewards from the alliance, there are still some monks who are willing to join the joint demon slayer team.

At this time, the Jingguo Immortal Cultivation World has generally returned to normal operations.

Except for the fact that a large number of monks were killed, injured and fled due to the war, which seemed to be somewhat depopulated, all production operations were not much different from before the war.

Each cultivating family has begun post-war recovery and reconstruction work, and business and trade are slowly recovering.

However, because the population of cultivators has suffered too much, it will probably take dozens or even hundreds of years to return to the pre-war level.

One of Zhou Chun's recent headaches is that many families come to propose marriages and marry off their daughters.

Anyone with a keen eye can see the current momentum of the Zhou family.

Therefore, many families want to take advantage of Zhou Chun's success in forming an elixir to form a marriage relationship with the Zhou family first, so that they will have a ready way to ask for help from the Zhou family in the future.

Zhou Chun is not opposed to this kind of marriage.

However, although the Zhou family is no longer short on manpower, it is still not to the extent that they can freely marry off girls.

Whether it is him or Zhou Mingde and others, they prefer that the male and female monks within the family digest each other.

A large family like the Zhou family has a bloodline that has been passed down for countless generations, has hundreds of thousands of mortals, and has a relatively complete genealogy for inquiry.

It is not uncommon or impossible for people of the same surname to intermarry and become Taoist couples.

Of course, since they are all members of the same surname, they have been called brothers and sisters in school since they were young. Sometimes it is even more difficult for men and women to have feelings for each other.

This makes internal digestion a difficult task.

After all, strong-willed melons are not sweet, and if there is no emotion, Zhou Chun, as the clan leader, cannot mess around with her.

On the other hand, those families who want to form a marriage relationship with the Zhou family must have convinced the female nuns in the family in advance.

For them, as long as the Zhou family is willing to arrange for the monks to take over, they can marry the person over directly.

For some ordinary members of the Zhou family, it seems to be a good choice if they can marry a female cultivator trained by a cultivating family as a Taoist companion.

As long as the female cultivator's appearance and figure are not bad, their personality and other aspects can actually be ignored.

After all, the Zhou family is the stronger side, and those girls who marry from small families must be good wives and mothers no matter how bad their original personalities are.

Otherwise, if they themselves could tolerate those shrewish and evil women, the Zhou family's clan rules would not be able to tolerate them either!

In short, because Zhou Chun had too many things to do, he had no choice but to hold a marriage recruitment meeting every three years.

At that time, any woman from the Zhou family who has the idea of ​​getting married or recruiting a son-in-law can sign up for the marriage recruitment conference.

As for monks who want to marry a girl from the Zhou family or marry into the Zhou family, they can prepare gifts in advance and sign up for the marriage recruitment meeting.

Then they can attract the attention of the female cultivators of the Zhou family by offering treasures and displaying their talents to see if they can make the beauty fall in love.

In fact, this is also a common method used by many Jindan families.

Time passed slowly, and two years passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Zhou Chun suddenly received bad news from Zhou Zhengyong from Jiufeng Ridge.

After taking the Aoki Ape Demonic Pill, the Aoki Ape finally failed to successfully break through evolution by relying on the power of this demonic elixir.

However, it was quite lucky. It did not have its body exploded by the huge demonic elixir power because of the failed breakthrough. It just suffered some backlash internal injuries due to the failed forced breakthrough. It may take a few years of rest to recover.

"Did you fail? It seems that it is not that easy for a monster to break through the third level!"

Zhou Chun looked at the urgent message in his hand and couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.

In fact, it is much more difficult for a second-level monster to advance to the third level than it is for a foundation-building monk to open up the Purple Mansion.

Otherwise, Zhou Daoquan would not have had a third-level demon beast spiritual pet by his side until now, and Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi would not have only focused on cultivating one spiritual pet instead of cultivating more spiritual pets like him.

Zhou Chun was able to cultivate several spiritual pets to the third level. The main reason was that he followed the right path and obtained suitable spiritual animals. In addition, his own spiritual pet foundation was very good.

As for Aoki Spirit Ape, who took the third-level demonic beast elixir to break through forcefully, it was purely a risky move, and there was no other way.

The failure rate is naturally much higher than the success rate!

But no matter what, Zhou Chun and the Zhou family no longer owe Qingmu Lingyuan, the patriarch of the family, anything for their contributions.

After all, the value of a third-level low-grade demon pill is only slightly worse than a spiritual item that assists in opening up the Purple Mansion.

Next, Zhou Chun went to visit the Aoki Ape in person, and asked Mu Mei to stay in Jiufeng Ridge to help it recuperate, as a way of thanking it for taking care of him.

And when he stopped by to visit Luo Qingni who was cultivating here, he saw that the other party suddenly looked at him and asked: "Fellow Daoist Zhou, Qingni has almost researched the elixir of [Holy Spirit Blood Pill], do you want to start refining it now?"

?”

"Oh, will it be healed so soon?"

Zhou Chun's eyes narrowed slightly and he looked at Luo Qingni with some surprise.

He still remembered the recipe for [Dragon Spirit Pill], but the other party had to study it for a long time before he dared to start refining it.

And even after studying it for so long, the refining efficiency was not high at the beginning.

"The recipe for [Holy Spirit Blood Pill] is actually not particularly complicated. It's just that the refining materials are very rare and rare, and Qing Ni's alchemy skills have also improved over the years."

Seemingly understanding the meaning in Zhou Chun's eyes, Luo Qingni immediately explained more details.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun quickly said: "Fellow Daoist Luo has misunderstood. Zhou didn't mean to distrust you. It's just that the [Holy Spirit Blood Pill] is extremely important to my Zhou family, and there is only one copy of the material. Zhou still hopes that Friend Daoist can be there."

Make the most of it and take action!”

After hearing what he said, Luo Qingni did not argue with him anymore, but nodded slightly and said: "That's fine, since Fellow Daoist Zhou is not in a hurry, let's wait until Fellow Daoist Zhou gets that thing, and then Qingni can start refining it.

!”

"Yes, this is the best!"

Zhou Chun nodded repeatedly, greatly agreeing with her words.

As the saying goes, if a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.

A good alchemy furnace is more precious to an alchemist than any magical weapon.

The magic weapon-level alchemy furnace can give the alchemist great help in the alchemy process, both in terms of the success rate of the alchemy and the quality of the resulting elixir.

"In one year at most, Zhou will be able to set off for Dazhou with fellow Taoist Luo!"

Before leaving Jiufengling, Zhou Chun also gave Luo Qingni a definite date of travel.

In the following year, while practicing, Zhou Chun began to make preparations to go to the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Although he expected that it might not take too long to form the elixir, if it was quick, three to five years would be enough.

But don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.

In case he can't return to his family so soon, some things that need to be arranged still need to be arranged in advance.

More than seven months later, during a meditation practice, Zhou Chun discovered that he could no longer refine a portion of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his own mana.

The accumulation of mana in his Dantian has reached his personal limit, and it is difficult to gain even an inch!

At this time, apart from condensing the golden elixir, he could no longer improve his magical power by any amount through practice.

"Has your magic power finally reached its limit?"

Zhou Chun looked inside himself, looking at the golden lake of mana in his Dantian, and felt slightly excited.

A quick calculation showed that his lifespan has passed two hundred years, and he should be two hundred and four years old this year.

It has been one hundred and seventy-eight years since I came to this world!

Now we have finally reached this point.

Once the golden elixir is formed, one can live to a thousand years, master great supernatural powers, and completely reach the upper echelons of the world of immortality, becoming a high-level monk in the true sense.

If he is a casual cultivator, after forming the golden elixir, as long as he is careful not to provoke those sects, he can basically live freely for thousands of years.

As a family monk, once he forms a golden elixir, the Zhou family will immediately be promoted to become a golden elixir family. As long as he survives in the future, the family's status will never decline.

Even for most monks from major sects in this world, the golden elixir stage is the final destination of their life path!

Transforming an elixir into a baby is something that many golden elixir stage monks from major sects never dare to think about.

Because only when you reach their realm can you know how difficult this step is.

A simplest example.

No matter how poor the qualifications of the monks in the Qi Refining Stage are, theoretically speaking, as long as they never give up their practice and have enough time to practice, they can basically reach the twelfth level of the Qi Refining Stage and have the qualifications to impact foundation building. Note, it is a qualification.

.

But among the golden elixir stage monks, five or six out of ten would not be able to cultivate to the late golden elixir stage!

There are only a few monks left who can cultivate to the late stage of the golden elixir, and there may be only one, or even none, who is finally qualified to take the step of transforming the elixir into an infant!

In fact, unless they are extremely talented or have great opportunities, it is impossible for most of the golden elixir stage monks outside the sects to cultivate to the late golden elixir stage.

In this case, the golden elixir stage is really the biggest goal in the minds of more than 90% of the monks in the world of immortality.
