Beast-controlling fairy clan
Chapter 76: No respect for elders, honey flower tea [Please order first]
Zhou Jiahui is dead!
But no one will know this news yet.
Zhou Zhengkang is very confident in himself and confident that no one can find any evidence.
What disappointed him was that he could not find the habitat of the strange fish that produced mucus, although he guessed that the place should be in the mountains near the place where Zhou Jiahui died.
After repeatedly cleaning the scene and battlefield, he left the mountains and headed straight for Hongyafang City.
Soon after, Zhou Zhengkang arrived at Hongyafang City under a disguised identity, and then handed Zhou Jiahui's relics to Yu Deguang, the foundation-building monk of Spirit Beast Villa who was waiting here in a teahouse box in Fang City.
"Anyway, that's the thing. Although I haven't found the habitat of that strange fish, I can be sure that it is in that mountain range. You can hire casual cultivators to look for it slowly, or you can send people to look for it yourself. Okay, if you spend more time, you will definitely be able to find a place!"
In the box, after Zhou Zhengkang finished talking about what he had gained from his trip, he picked up the teapot on the tea table, poured himself a cup of spiritual tea and drank it in one gulp, then showed a look of enjoyment on his face.
He couldn't help but murmur in a low voice: "This is the taste! Since coming to Jingguo, I have rarely tasted this honey flower tea again!"
When Yu Deguang heard what he said, his eyes flashed strangely, and he smiled and said: "If my nephew likes it, I will give the remaining half bottle of tea pills to my nephew to enjoy slowly."
"Then I won't be polite to you, Master Yu."
Zhou Zhengkang's eyes lit up, and he immediately took the jade bottle containing tea pills on the table and started playing with it.
This tea ball called "Honey Flower Tea" is a kind of spiritual tea that was a specialty of the Zhou family of Sanjue Sect in the past. It is prepared with tea leaves from the spiritual tea tree, pollen from several spiritual flowers, and honey from the "Jasper Spirit Bee" Become.
Not only does it taste great, it can also slightly improve your magic power and enhance the intensity of your spiritual consciousness.
When he was still in the Sanjue Sect, Zhou Zhengkang drank a lot of this spiritual tea.
But after the Jingguo period, as the Sanjue Sect was split up, important resources such as the [Jasper Spirit Bee] were taken away and occupied by the Spirit Beast Villa.
Only a few people in the Zhou family still have some stock of this kind of spiritual tea, and they are reluctant to drink it anymore.
However, a mere half bottle of "honey flower tea" obviously could not satisfy Zhou Zhengkang's appetite.
After playing with the jade bottle for a while, he put it into his storage bag, then looked at Yu Deguang and said: "Now I have done what you asked me to do, and even killed Zhou Jiahui, which can prove that I Is that what you want? Then when will you give me the Foundation Establishment Pill you mentioned?"
After hearing what he said, Yu Deguang immediately picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, then smiled softly and said:
"Niece, don't be anxious. As far as I know, the Foundation Establishment Pills that the Li family is preparing to refine will be released soon. With the resources the Zhou family has invested this time, they can get at least two or three Foundation Establishment Pills. , based on your status in the Zhou family, can't you still get one?"
"If you can successfully build a foundation in the Zhou family, the Zhou family will definitely reward you with many things. When the time comes, come to our Spirit Beast Villa, and the foundation building pill we promised you can also be exchanged for other resources of equal value. Isn't that right? better?"
These words seemed to be harmless, but Zhou Zhengkang's expression turned gloomy.
He looked at Yu Deguang with an ugly face and said: "You don't need to draw cakes for me. I just ask you, do you think that after I kill Zhou Jiahui, I have no way out and can only be at your mercy?" ?”
When Yu Deguang heard what he said, he was startled. He didn't expect that he would bring this up to his face.
Zhou Zhengkang was also asked for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhou Zhengkang's face became even more ugly.
"No, no, no, nephew, you have misunderstood. Yu had absolutely no intention of doing so!"
Seeing Zhou Zhengkang's increasingly ugly expression, Yu Deguang finally came to his senses and repeatedly waved his hands to express that he had misunderstood him.
Then he looked at Zhou Zhengkang with a sincere look on his face and explained: "It's just that I really don't have the foundation-building pill with me. I'm afraid I need to ask Uncle Xiao for instructions after I go back to get it."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to hold Zhou Zhengkang's shoulders and said earnestly: "Anyway, my dear nephew, you must believe in our sincerity, believe that Uncle Xiao values you, and believe in your own value. We will never give up on you." Such an outstanding talent!”
After hearing his explanation and compliment, Zhou Zhengkang's face gradually became much better.
He has always been proud and arrogant. Even among the original Sanjue Sect and the younger generation, he was one of those with outstanding qualifications and talents.
Therefore, he is confident that no matter where he goes, he will shine and attract attention.
Yu Deguang's current compliments just scratched his itch. How could this not make him happy and satisfied?
The reason why he kept a straight face was just that he didn't want Yu Deguang to think that he was easy to bully, and he was a bit embarrassed.
At this time, he snorted coldly: "Humph, I hope you will do what you say, otherwise don't blame me for turning your back on me!"
When Yu Deguang heard what he said, he immediately understood his mentality. He nodded repeatedly and said: "Of course, of course. Nephew, you can go back to Zhou's house with peace of mind and wait patiently for Yu's good news."
After saying that, he reached out and patted the storage bag on his waist, took out a money bag containing a large amount of spiritual coins, and placed it directly in front of Zhou Zhengkang.
With a smile on his face, he said: "There are more than 800 spirit coins in it. Even if it is the funds that Yu has advanced to his nephew, after Yu has disposed of Zhou Jiahui's relics, he will make up for the remaining spirit coins for his nephew. What do you think, nephew?"
Hearing his words, Zhou Zhengkang's eyes flashed with joy, and then he immediately grabbed the money bag and weighed it. Soon his face softened completely and he nodded at him and said: "That's pretty much it!"
Then he put the money bag into the storage bag, then picked up the teapot and poured it directly into his mouth and drank the remaining tea in one breath. Then he patted his sleeves and stood up and said, "Then I'll go back first, you guys?" Remember to do things quickly and don’t keep me waiting for too long!”
When Yu Deguang saw this, he immediately stood up with a smile on his face and said: "I'm sure, my dear nephew, go slowly."
After sending Zhou Zhengkang out of the box and closing the door.
Looking at the empty teapot, his expression suddenly changed, and he rolled his sleeves with disgust and snorted: "Hmph, what the hell? A fool who eats everything, also wants to use the Foundation Establishment Pill of our Spirit Beast Villa to build the foundation." ? Do you really think Uncle Xiao, a dignified cultivator from the Purple Mansion, would fall in love with a fool like you?"
It is not difficult to tell from his words that his previous conversations and promises with Zhou Zhengkang were nothing more than false pretenses.
In fact, he did not like Zhou Zhengkang from the bottom of his heart and was full of contempt and disdain.
After scolding Zhou Zhengkang secretly, he seemed to have remembered something again, and couldn't help but murmur to himself with a thoughtful look on his face:
"That Zhou Zhengchun, on the other hand, although his qualifications are a bit inferior, if the news from the Zhou family is true, this person is really worth wooing. If he can be used by me, then my Spirit Beast Villa will have one more person available. What a talent!"
…
Zhou Zhengkang naturally didn't know that he would be so unbearable in Yu Deguang's heart.
After he left the teahouse, he originally wanted to go back to his family directly.
But when passing by the Spirit Beast House, I looked at the three characters "Spirit Beast House" on the flag from a distance, and what Zhou Jiahui said at that time suddenly came to my mind, "You are far worse than Zhengchun."
Then his face suddenly turned cold, and he immediately turned around and walked into the store.
"Welcome, may I ask my distinguished guest..."
In the Spirit Beast House, after Zhou Chun heard the footsteps coming from outside the door, he reflexively smiled and prepared to greet the guests.
But when he saw the face of the visitor, he paused in his words.
"It turns out to be Brother Seven. I've met Brother Seven."
Zhou Chun paused for a moment, then quickly saluted Zhou Zhengkang as he came in and said hello.
Not wanting to face his greeting, Zhou Zhengkang looked at him coldly and asked: "You are also a core member of my Zhou family. Do you have to be so humble and greet any casual cultivator who comes in? Isn't this self-degradation?" Are you willing to let yourself down due to your status?”
I'm afraid this guy is not a fool!
Zhou Chun looked at Zhou Zhengkang in surprise, not expecting that the other party would say such words.
In fact, it's not that Zhou Zhengkang doesn't understand the principle of being friendly and making money in business, but whoever made him have the preconceived idea of being unhappy with Zhou Chun just wants to come here to find fault with Zhou Chun!
Moreover, at this moment, what he was thinking about was Zhou Jiahui's words, "You are far worse than Zhengchun."
Under such circumstances, after seeing Zhou Chun's "humble" appearance, he naturally felt angry and felt worthless for himself.
Whether he wanted to admit it or not, Zhou Jiahui's words "You are far worse than Zhengchun" really made him very concerned and unhappy.
Fortunately, not only Zhou Chun was in the store at this time, but also the shopkeeper Zhou Jiasheng.
At this time, Zhou Chun was stunned by Zhou Zhengkang's words.
Zhou Jiasheng, who was worried about the conflict between the two in the store, hurriedly came over and said: "We are all brothers of the same race, Zhengkang, how can you say that to Zhengchun? If there is any misunderstanding, please talk to me in the backyard first!"
After saying that, he patted Zhou Chun on the shoulder and told him to hold back for now and not to quarrel with Zhou Zhengkang in the store.
Then he was ready to pull Zhou Zhengkang, wanting to drag him to the backyard to reprimand him.
Zhou Zhengkang didn't want to, but he moved, dodged his outstretched palm, and then said calmly: "No, I have to rush back to the family, and I don't have time to chat with you."
After saying that, he ignored Zhou Jiasheng's ugly face, rolled up his sleeves and left the store.
If it were in the past, Zhou Zhengkang wouldn't show it so obviously even if he didn't have much respect for these so-called elders.
But now that he personally killed an elder like Zhou Jiahui, he felt psychologically superior to these so-called elders, and felt that he could completely control the life and death of these elders.
Secondly, he has already decided to leave the Zhou family, so naturally there is no need to work lowly to win the favor of these elders and consider staying in the Zhou family for a long time in the future.
Thirdly, Zhou Jiasheng's obvious act of protecting Zhou Chun made him feel very unhappy. He automatically labeled Zhou Jiasheng as one of Zhou Jiahui's group, feeling that Zhou Jiasheng valued Zhou Chun more and looked down on him.
All of this led to the current scene.
At this moment, looking at Zhou Zhengkang's back who turned away without hesitation, Zhou Jiasheng also had a terrifyingly gloomy expression.
He almost gritted his teeth and roared: "You disrespect your elders and slander your clan brother. I must personally write a letter to the clan leader to explain this matter. I will sue him severely and make him apologize to me and Masachun in person! !”
After saying that, he saw Zhou Chun was silent and thought that Zhou Chun was too angry to speak. He hurriedly comforted Zhou Chun and said, "Zhengchun, don't take it to heart. That kid is arrogant and arrogant for more than a day or two." Yeah, maybe it’s because he heard too many praises from the clan leaders in the family that he came to find trouble with you with jealousy, so don’t be fooled by him!”
When Zhou Chun heard this, he immediately shook his head and said calmly: "My nephew is fine. Don't worry, Uncle Sixteen. I won't argue with him about this."
Then he said in a puzzled tone: "But if he has an objection to my nephew, the reason you said can be explained by Uncle Sixteen, but why doesn't he even give you the face of Uncle Sixteen? This is not obviously to himself. Looking for trouble?"
Zhou Jiasheng's expression changed when he heard this, and there was doubt in his eyes.
Zhou Chun was right. Looking back, he had nothing to offend Zhou Zhengkang.
When Zhou Zhengkang met him before, at least on the surface he was polite and considerate, and he would never be as rude and impudent as he was today.
But he soon seemed to have thought of something, his face suddenly turned cold, and he said with an angry look: "I think I know why. He must have known that he was about to succeed in building the foundation, so he revealed his true colors without hiding it. What an ambitious beast with a human face!"
At the end of the sentence, Zhou Jiasheng himself was so angry that he started to curse.
Is Zhou Zhengkang almost successful in building the foundation?
Zhou Chun was slightly startled when he heard Zhou Jiasheng's words.
I immediately asked for details.
He only knew that Zhou Zhengkang had broken through to the twelfth level of the Qi Refining Stage for half a year, but he never thought that the other party would attack the foundation building so quickly.
Facing Zhou Chun's questioning, Zhou Jiasheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Zhengchun, you are also a core member of the family, so I won't hide this from you, but you just don't want to spread the word."
"Uncle Sixteen, don't worry, my nephew will definitely not spread a word about it."
Zhou Chun quickly made a serious promise.
So Zhou Jiasheng told the story about the cooperation between the Zhou family and the Li family in refining the Foundation Establishment Pill.
It turns out that the reason why the Zhou family used good deeds instead of spirit coins as benefits to the clan members when they first took root in Jiufeng Ridge was because the clan's spirit coins were gathered together to handle several important events.
One of the things is to purchase the elixir used to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill and work with the Li family to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Now, after several years of preparation, all kinds of elixirs have been purchased, and the Li family has taken advantage of the situation to start making elixirs.
In the Zhou family, apart from the clan leader and elders, only Zhou Jiasheng and other senior elders knew about this matter.
After listening to Zhou Jiasheng's words, Zhou Chun's heart was surging, and he couldn't help but have some thoughts about the foundation-building pill that had not yet been released.
It's a pity that he also knows that even if the clan leader Zhou Daoyi is willing to give him a foundation-building pill against all opinions, his current ninth-level cultivation in Qi refining period will not be able to use it at all.
Therefore, these foundation-building pills are destined to have no fate with him.
After Zhou Jiasheng revealed this secret, he gritted his teeth and said: "Zhou Zhengkang is the foundation-building seed of the family. He will definitely have a share this time. With his high-grade spiritual root qualifications, most of the foundation-building seeds can be successful with just one. That’s why he is so arrogant now!”
Is this really what happened?
Zhou Chun felt something was wrong when he heard what he said.
Even if Zhou Zhengkang succeeded in building a foundation in the future and became the elder of the Zhou family, he would still be one generation behind Zhou Jiasheng in terms of seniority. Logically speaking, he should still give some face to his elders when they meet.
After all, respecting elders is a family rule personally promulgated by the family's supreme elder Zhou Mingde.
There is absolutely no reason for Zhou Zhengkang to not even do this superficial thing and give others the opportunity to criticize himself.
What's more, hasn't he yet succeeded in building the foundation?
Isn't he afraid that because of today's incident, the patriarch Zhou Daoyi will cancel his opportunity to take the Foundation Establishment Pill?
This doubt was buried in Zhou Chun's heart, but he did not tell Zhou Jiasheng Ming.
Because Zhou Jiasheng's current attitude is undoubtedly more beneficial to him.
