Chapter 62: Elder’s advice and treasure hunt for flowers
An ordinary mountain fire with an area of less than 10,000 acres burned is not difficult for monks in the foundation building stage to extinguish.
Less than half an hour after Zhou Chun and the others returned to Fangshi, the Taoist priest in Qingyi found the Spirit Beast Studio by induction.
With Liu Qingshan taking the responsibility and Zhou Jiasheng acting as guarantee, Zhou Chun was successfully extracted and was not regarded as an accomplice of arson.
However, Liu Qingshan and his daughter were each fined to work in the city for five years, or each paid a fine of three hundred spirit coins.
Of course, Liu Qingshan and his daughter could not afford that much fine, and they only found one hundred and fifty-four spiritual coins in total.
It was the good man Zhou Chun who worked hard to the end and helped them make up 146 spiritual coins, which saved Liu Shiyun from being punished.
But Zhou Chun was helpless with Liu Qingshan's share of the fine.
So at Liu Qingshan's request, Zhou Chun and Zhou Jiasheng discussed and allowed Liu Shiyun to work in the store as a clerk of the Spirit Beast Restaurant and practice cultivation at the same time.
Of course, this is also a temporary strategy. If the Zhou family arranges for another clerk to come over during the period, Liu Shiyun will definitely have to make room.
Of course, Zhou Chun was not such a good person for nothing. He was attracted by the medicine valley mentioned by Liu and his daughter.
Not to mention the value of the many wild elixirs in the Medicine Valley, the group of emerald-crested flying snakes alone are excellent spiritual beast seedlings for the Zhou family.
Monster beasts like the Emerald Crowned Flying Snake are somewhat weak individually, but if multiple ones can be tamed at one time, it will greatly increase the combat power of cultivators.
Moreover, this kind of monster is small in size. After being tamed by contract, it can even be hidden in the sleeve, and sometimes it can have unexpected effects.
The most important thing is that this kind of gregarious monster has always had good reproductive capabilities. If the Zhou family can cultivate it well, many clan members can contract one or two for self-defense in the future.
Therefore, Zhou Chun must "ransom" Liu Shiyun so that she can take him there to catch snakes and collect medicine.
However, Zhou Chun alone would definitely not be able to catch snakes and collect herbs.
Even if he invites Zhou Zhengyong and Zhou Jiapeng, who are close friends, it will be difficult to do this.
So he planned to report this matter to the third elder Zhou Daoquan, as a thank you gift to this elder for helping him hatch the silver lightning python.
Just do it if you think of it.
Zhou Chun told Liu Shiyun about his plan, and after getting her consent, he and Zhou Jiasheng took leave and returned to the family alone.
With his current cultivation level, there is basically no problem in entering and exiting the Red Rock Mountains alone.
In this way, just over a day passed before Zhou Chun returned to Zhou's home in Jiufengling.
When he returned to the family, he did not bother the clan leader Zhou Daoyi, nor did he return to his residence on Baozhi Peak. He went directly to Feishi Peak to pay homage to the third elder Zhou Daoquan.
But what he didn't expect was that after listening to his report, Zhou Daoquan pondered for a moment, then looked at him and said: "If you let me do this, then whether it is the captured green-crowned flying snakes or the spirits in the valley,
Most of the medicine must be classified into the clan, and the benefits that will eventually fall into the hands of you and that little girl are probably only 20%!"
When Zhou Chun heard this, he was immediately confused about what he meant and didn't know why he said that.
But he still responded quickly: "This junior naturally knows."
After saying that, he smiled wryly and spread his hands: "But without the elders taking action, the younger generation might be able to invite several tribesmen to remove snakes and collect medicine together, but it is absolutely difficult to capture those green-crowned flying snakes and send them to the family for domestication.
Made it!”
When Zhou Daoquan heard what he said, he said lightly: "Actually, if you just capture those green-crowned flying snakes, I don't need to take action personally. There are people who are better at this than me, and they won't share so much of the benefits with you!"
Um???
Zhou Chun looked at Zhou Daoquan with a puzzled face, wondering who the person he was talking about was.
Seeing him like this, Zhou Daoquan could only give further advice: "Aren't you very familiar with the old ape in the library? Don't you know that his specialty is catching snakes?"
I see!
Zhou Chun understood now and completely understood what Zhou Daoquan meant.
Although [Aoki Spirit Monkey] stayed in the Zhou family, because it has no master relationship, it is not completely a member of the Zhou family. It can be said to be a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship with the Zhou family.
If Zhou Chun asked it to help him catch snakes and collect medicine, he would only need to pay it a favor.
And how many benefits can [Aoki Spirit Ape] get?
Zhou Chun only needs to go to the market to buy some spiritual fruit spirit wine and bring it to it, and it will be very satisfied.
But why is Zhou Daoquan, the third elder, so kind to him?
There is absolutely no need for him to give him guidance on this kind of thing!
Zhou Chun secretly looked at Zhou Daoquan, and this question finally settled in his heart.
Soon he responded respectfully: "Junior understands, thank you elder for clearing up the confusion."
After saying that, he gave him a deep bow and thanked him: "The elders have given me the support and guidance for the younger generation. I can't repay it now. I can only keep it in my heart and repay it in the future!"
When Zhou Daoquan heard this, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said: "If I didn't like this little boy, I wouldn't bother to tell you this. Among the younger generations of the family, there are really not many people I like!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and said: "Okay, I am going to meditate and practice, please step aside first!"
Zhou Chun had long been accustomed to his way of speaking and knew that although this elder was old, he actually had a naughty personality and didn't like too many etiquette.
It's a pity that etiquette in the family must be observed, otherwise Zhou Chun would really want to become a lifelong friend with this elder!
After leaving Zhou Daoquan's cave residence at this time, Zhou Chun immediately went to the library to meet the [Aoki Ape].
Regarding this "Ape Elder", Zhou Chun didn't need to be pretentious and told the relevant details honestly and honestly.
After listening to his words, the green-haired giant ape lowered his head slightly like a human, showing a thoughtful expression.
After thinking like this for a while, the green-haired giant ape looked at Zhou Chun and nodded, agreeing to help.
"Thank you, Mr. Yuan!"
Zhou Chun looked overjoyed and immediately made a solemn salute with his fists clasped.
Then he took the green-haired giant ape directly to Pagoda Peak and reported the matter to the clan leader Zhou Daoyi.
"It's your ability to persuade it to leave the family with you. I just hope you can be careful and don't let it have anything to do with you!"
In the "Zhongping Hall", after Zhou Daoyi heard that Zhou Chun was going to take [Aoki Spirit Ape] to leave the family for adventure, he was first surprised that he could persuade the old ape to help him, and then he happily approved the matter.
And he didn't ask Zhou Chun what he was going to do.
Faced with Zhou Daoyi's instructions, Zhou Chun also responded solemnly with a correct attitude: "Yes, the younger generation will definitely remember the patriarch's teachings."
After obtaining the release slip specially approved by Zhou Daoyi, Zhou Chun went to borrow a few more things, and then led the green-haired giant ape away from Jiufeng Ridge.
When they got outside, the green-haired giant ape originally wanted Zhou Chun to sit on its shoulders and be led on the way.
However, Zhou Chun first felt that this was disrespectful and showed that he did not respect the "Ape Elder". Secondly, he did not want to be too public.
So he asked the green-haired giant ape to sleep in the spirit animal bag first, and then asked him to come out and catch the snake after he arrived at the place.
The green-haired giant ape himself didn't care whether he walked or slept in the spirit beast bag. Since Zhou Chun thought it was better for him to sleep in the spirit beast bag, he naturally wouldn't object.
After putting the green-haired giant ape in an empty spirit beast bag, Zhou Chun used the flying magic weapon himself and rushed to Fangshi.
In order to prevent Zhou Jiasheng from doubting his return too soon, Zhou Chun took a break for most of the day after arriving outside the Hongyan Mountains, and took stock of the gains from killing Guo Dahu and others.
Since he and the Rock Turtle killed all the people, Liu Qingshan was naturally embarrassed to ask for the harvest, so all the belongings of the three people belonged to him.
And even though he used the [Moon Blade Meteor Wheel] to destroy several of the three people's magic weapons, in the end Zhou Chun still got two first-order medium-grade magic weapons and three first-order low-grade magic weapons.
The storage bags of the other three people also contained several collected elixirs, some monster fur and claw materials, some commonly used low-level magic spells, as well as various exercises, miscellaneous books, healing and detoxifying drugs, and other miscellaneous things.
There are also a total of one hundred and seventy-seven spirit coins.
Apart from magic weapons and talismans, the thing in the three people's storage bags that really caught Zhou Chungao's eye was the "Flower Hunting Book" found in He Sangu's storage bag.
The meaning of "seeking flowers" does not refer to any flowers or plants, but to certain female nuns with special physiques.
This book contains more than 20 methods for identifying female cultivators with special physiques. However, it only contains relevant identification methods and does not explain the benefits of the physique of female cultivators with special physiques. It should have been deleted intentionally.
When Zhou Chun saw the illustrations and description of the "Xuanyin Meigu" physique, his face suddenly became strange. He stared at the illustrations for a while before turning the page.
On the last page of this "Flower Treasure Book", there are also two secret techniques recorded. One is to teach people how to collect yin and replenish yang, or the secret technique of collecting yang to replenish yin. The other is how to use the power of dual cultivation.
The state of combined spiritual desire at that time gradually affects the mind of the subject of dual cultivation, making it gradually become his own slave.
Both secret arts are not good things and can be called evil arts.
Zhou Chun decided that it would be better to keep this thing in his own hands, lest any monks from the Zhou family would be tempted to practice it in the future.
After counting the harvest in this way, he estimated that the time should be enough, and then returned to the market.
"Since you have Mr. Yuan accompanying you, I won't say anything more. Anyway, go and come back quickly. We can't do without you in the store now."
In the Spirit Beast House, Zhou Jiasheng was also surprised when he learned that Zhou Chun had returned to the family to bring out the [Aoki Spirit Ape]. He looked at him with a surprised face and hesitated to speak.
After hesitating like this for a long time, in the end he didn't ask any more questions or say anything more. He just said, "Go back quickly," and he and Liu Shiyun were allowed to leave the store temporarily.
I'm in a good mood. The new book ranking is getting higher and higher. I'm working hard to save the manuscript and wait for it to be released!
