Cultivating Immortals in the Family: Rising from Beast Familiarity

"I really didn't expect it. I didn't expect this [Jade Spirit Bee] to return to the Zhou family one day!"

On Baozhi Peak, dozens of Zhou family monks, including Zhou Chun, were gathered outside a newly built hive, watching the giant bees flying up and down, getting familiar with their new home.

His face was full of emotion.

I saw that those giant bees were about the same size as sparrows, their bodies were covered with green patterns, even their wings were carved like jasper, and they exuded faint fluctuations of mana.

This is the [Jasper Spirit Bee], an extremely rare and rare demon bee.

As a demon bee, [Jasper Spirit Bee] has considerable combat power when gathered into a swarm, but its greatest use for immortal cultivators is to produce spiritual honey.

The spiritual honey brewed by [Jasper Spirit Bee] is not only extremely sweet and delicious, but also an excellent spiritual nourishment.

This kind of spiritual honey has a wide range of uses. It can be drunk directly with water, made into honey tea, or used as an additive to elixirs.

The spiritual power and nutrients contained in spiritual honey are easily absorbed and refined by cultivators.

Knowing the uses of Lingmi, it has various functions such as improving cultivation, regulating internal injuries, replenishing qi and blood, prolonging life and so on.

When monks from the Zhou family like Zhou Chun and others first came into contact with cultivation at a young age, they would more or less cause "chasms" and damage their meridians due to improper cultivation.

When ordinary monks encounter this kind of situation, they can only rest for ten days and a half before continuing to practice.

However, as long as the monks of the Zhou family drink a spoonful of spiritual honey, they can recover as before and continue practicing within three days.

It is precisely because this [Jasper Spirit Bee] is so rare and precious that Zhou Xia, the ancestor of the Zhou family who originally discovered and brought back these spirit bees, although her cultivation has been stuck in the foundation building stage her whole life, is still on the merit wall in the Zhou family ancestral temple.

Leave your name and meritorious deeds.

And the ancestor of the Zhou family named Zhou Xia actually brought back less than a hundred [Jasper Spirit Bees].

Later, the entire Zhou family worked hard to cultivate and pass on the cultivation from generation to generation, so that the bee colony grew. So far, its population has increased more than ten times!

Unfortunately, when the Sanjue Sect was split up, these [Jasper Spirit Bees] were all forced to stay at Spirit Beast Villa by Yu Jinghua, and none of them were allowed to be taken away by the Zhou family.

At that time, many Zhou family monks even thought that they would never see this kind of spiritual bee reappearing in the Zhou family in this life.

Unexpectedly, just a few years later, the family's senior officials had successfully brought this kind of spirit bee back to the Zhou family.

This incident also made those Zhou family members who did not know the inside story greatly respect and admire the patriarch Zhou Daoyi and the supreme elder Zhou Mingde who did it.

Invisibly, it also diluted some of the impact of the later news of Zhou Zhengkang's disappearance.

After the Zhou Zhengkang incident ended, Zhou Chun was not able to return to Fangshi.

Zhou Daoyi arranged a new position for him, the clan leader's personal secretary, responsible for assisting the clan leader in handling clan affairs.

In addition, the task of collecting poisonous stickleback mucus that was originally assigned to Zhou Jiahui was also handed over to him.

It was also because of the patriarch's position as secretary that Zhou Chun suddenly came into the sight of all Zhou family monks and became a prominent figure in the Zhou family.

Everyone knows that before Zhou Chun, the clan leader Zhou Daoyi did not have any secretary, and all clan affairs were decided by the clan leader alone.

Now the clan leader Zhou Daoyi has specially set up a secretary position for Zhou Chun to assist in handling clan affairs.

What kind of idea is this, no matter how stupid you are, you can see it.

At this time, all the various contributions Zhou Chun had made for the Zhou family in the past few years were announced.

When they learned that Zhou Chun was now the second-ranked monk in the Qi Refining Stage in terms of his own meritorious deeds, those Zhou family monks who had objections to him being favored and cared for by the patriarch Zhou Daoyi all fell silent.

Although the number of good deeds cannot completely represent a person's ability, it can represent the amount of contribution a person has made to the family.

For the family, a monk who has made great contributions to the family deserves to be treated with superior rights and privileges.

What's more, Zhou Chun is just a secretary next to the clan leader, not the clan leader.

So under this situation, after the news that Zhou Zhengkang, the original family foundation seed, was missing, the influence was greatly reduced again.

After just a few months, few people mentioned this matter anymore.

On this day, Zhou Chun was sorting out the account books in the "Zhongping Hall" when he suddenly heard excited laughter coming from the mountain.

This made him startled slightly, and he immediately stopped writing and stood up and walked out of the hall.

When he arrived outside the palace, Zhou Chun looked up and easily saw a man in gray clothes floating in the air laughing.

Levitation in the air is a method of using magic power that a cultivator in the Qi refining stage will naturally master after successfully building a foundation. It can also be called an innate magical power.

Air control flying, true essence shield, foundation building true fire...

These large and small methods of using magic power are all magical powers that cultivators can only master after reaching the foundation-building stage and the transformation of magic power.

But generally speaking, no foundation-building monk would be excited because he has mastered this ability.

There is only one exception!

That is what Zhou Chun is seeing now, a monk in the Qi Refining Stage using these abilities for the first time after successfully building a foundation.

That's right, after seeing the man in gray in the sky, Zhou Chun immediately recognized the man's identity.

That is Zhou Jiarui, a core member of the Zhou family who has been in retreat in a secret room on Pagoda Peak for more than three months.

Since the elixir Li family sent the two Foundation Establishment Pills that should be distributed to the Zhou family more than three months ago, Zhou Jiarui and Zhou Jiacheng, who had already been confirmed to take these two Foundation Establishment Pills, directly

Taking the elixir with him, he entered the retreat room on Pagoda Peak and attacked the foundation building level.

Now it seems that at least Zhou Jiarui has successfully established the foundation.

Zhou Chun was stunned for a moment, then he quickly raised his hands in salute and congratulated loudly: "My nephew, congratulations to Uncle Eleven for successfully building the foundation and extending his life."

The congratulatory message "Prolong life and prolong life" will never go wrong when used by immortal cultivators when they break through the realm.

Because the original meaning of cultivating immortals is to pursue immortality.

Every major breakthrough in the realm of immortality will greatly extend the life of the immortal cultivator.

Therefore, after hearing Zhou Chun's congratulations, Zhou Jiarui in the sky smiled even more heartily.

He ranks eleventh among the "family" generation. He is already seventy-six years old this year and is over seventy years old.

If he cannot successfully build the foundation, he will only have more than forty years to live, and he may not even be able to live until then.

But now that the foundation building is successful, his lifespan has been extended to more than two hundred years. At this age, he is still young among the monks in the foundation building stage, and he has unlimited possibilities in the future.

"Hahaha, my nephew Zhengchun is so polite."

He laughed loudly, and immediately flew into the air, landing in front of Zhou Chun.

At this time, because of the attraction of his laughter, the Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde and the clan leader Zhou Daoyi who were practicing in the cave were also attracted to come out.

"That's good, that's good. Jiarui, if you can successfully build the foundation, then your family's cultivation of you will be in vain!"

Zhou Daoyi looked at Zhou Jiarui who had successfully built the foundation and was the first to praise him.

Facing his praise, Zhou Jiarui immediately saluted him with a grateful look on his face and said: "The younger generation is here today because of the cultivation of the family. It is all due to the love and respect of the Supreme Elder and the patriarch. The cultivation of the family is

Well, I will never forget this!"

Hearing his words, Zhou Mingde couldn't help but nod and applaud: "Very good, I hope you can always remember what you said today in the future, and don't let down the trust that your family and I have placed in you!"

"Yes, this junior will definitely or dare not forget!"

Zhou Jiarui's face turned serious and he made a loud promise.

Next, as usual, the Zhou family held a foundation-building celebration for Zhou Jiarui, and most of the Zhou family monks attended the ceremony to congratulate him and give him various gifts.

Some casual cultivators who had a good relationship with the Zhou family also participated in the celebration.

In the midst of this bustle, another monk who failed to build the foundation, Zhou Jiacheng, also quietly left seclusion.

One Foundation Establishment Pill can almost increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment by 30% for monks in the Qi Refining Stage, so taking the Foundation Establishment Pill does not necessarily guarantee success in Foundation Establishment.

Zhou Jiacheng is the kind of unlucky person who has bad luck.

Although he took the Foundation Establishment Pill, he did not successfully build the Foundation. He only relied on the efficacy of the Foundation Establishment Pill to save his life and cultivation.

He had never dared to come out and face his tribe before.

Until Zhou Jiarui successfully built the foundation and held a grand celebration banquet, the last bit of luck left in his heart was gone.

I had no choice but to leave quietly with helplessness and shame.

But even if he comes out quietly, he still has to give an explanation to his family.

Therefore, he did not return to the cave after leaving seclusion, but knelt down and faced the wall outside the family's ancestral temple.

When the patriarch Zhou Daoyi came back from attending Zhou Jiarui's foundation building celebration, he easily found Zhou Jiacheng kneeling outside the ancestral temple.

In fact, the failure of Zhou Jiacheng's foundation building is no longer a secret to Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi.

It's just that the two of them knew that Zhou Jiacheng was deeply affected by this incident and wanted him to figure it out and come out on his own, so they kept pretending not to know.

At this time, Zhou Daoyi was actually quite relieved to see Zhou Jiacheng finally come out on his own.

He slowly walked behind Zhou Jiacheng, who was kneeling on the ground, and sighed softly: "Hey! It's normal that it didn't succeed. Building the foundation is not guaranteed to succeed. It's good to be able to save your life and cultivation.

!”

"But it's hard for this junior to forgive himself!"

"The Supreme Elder and the clan leader trust the junior so much, and gave the junior the foundation-building pill that countless tribesmen yearn for to use for foundation-building. What kind of trust is this!"

"What a shame, this junior is incompetent. He has betrayed the trust of the Supreme Elder and the clan leader, and has betrayed the cultivation of the family!"

"This junior is guilty of so many crimes. I really don't have the face to see my two elders and my fellow tribesmen again!"

By the time Zhou Jiacheng finished speaking, he was already crying.

He is also over sixty years old. It is said that he has been used to strong winds and waves in his life, and he will not shed tears easily because of something.

But the matter of foundation building is the biggest thing in the life of a cultivator in the Qi refining stage.

Zhou Jiacheng relied on the legacy of his ancestors and his own hard work to obtain the foundation-building pill given by his family to build the foundation.

The normal situation should have been that he had successfully built a foundation, lived up to the cultivation of his family, and lived up to the high expectations of his elders.

But he failed!

This failure not only failed the high expectations of his family and elders, but also made him feel ashamed of his late grandfather.

This kind of blow is difficult for even a man over sixty like him to bear.

"The fact that you can think this way means that neither I nor the Supreme Elder have misjudged you!"

"The family has strict standards when deciding who to take the Foundation Building Pill. If you can be selected, it means that you are better than others at that time."

"And no one said that anyone who takes the Foundation Establishment Pill will definitely succeed, let alone anyone who fails to take the Foundation Establishment Pill to establish the foundation, he will be the sinner of the family!"

"If you succeed, you'll be happy. Even if you fail, it's just bad luck."

"The Supreme Elder and I will never blame you for this, and other clan members will gradually understand you!"

Zhou Daoyi comforted Zhou Jiacheng with a gentle tone, and tried his best to enlighten this self-pitying family member.

Since the loss is irreversible, a motivated twelfth-level Qi-refining monk is naturally more useful to the family than a self-pitying twelfth-level Qi-refining monk.

As the patriarch of the clan, even if Zhou Daoyi considers this aspect, he must comfort and enlighten Zhou Jiacheng.

In this way, under his comfort and enlightenment, the Zhou family gradually became much better, and they stood up and dared to face him face to face.

He turned around and looked at him, then raised his sleeves to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, then bowed to him and said, "Thank you, patriarch, for your enlightenment. I know what I should do. I will do my best for the rest of my life for the family."

Serve to repay the family’s kindness in nurturing the younger generation!”

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing this, Zhou Daoyi immediately smiled with satisfaction and said: "This is right. You are still young. As long as you serve the family well, you may not have the opportunity to attack the foundation again in the future!"

These suggestive words quickly ignited hope in Zhou Jiacheng's eyes.

He immediately expressed his stance firmly: "Thank you very much for the patriarch's teachings. I will definitely not disappoint the patriarch again!"

After watching Zhou Jiacheng leave Pagoda Peak and go down the mountain, Zhou Daoyi shook his head slightly and turned back to the cave.

Now that Zhou Chun is assisting in handling family affairs, he has a lot of free time, and his training time has obviously increased a lot.

In this way, Zhou Chun got exercise, and he also got more time to practice. It can be said to be a win-win situation.

Well, at least it’s a win-win for him!

As for Zhou Chun, he will definitely not suffer.

As the secretary of the clan leader Zhou Daoyi, he can not only be exempted from all other family chores, but can also practice on the pagoda peak with rich spiritual energy.

Not only will it not delay your own cultivation, but you will also have access to many secrets of the Zhou family and get a lot of first-hand information.

For example, when did Baiyao Peak refine another batch of [Beast Spirit Pills], how many of them were placed in the family treasury for the clan members to exchange for use.

Few people would know it better than him.

In this way, if he needs it, he can seize the opportunity to redeem it.

And being by the clan leader Zhou Daoyi's side every day, whether he has any questions about cultivation or something he doesn't understand about cultivating spiritual pets, he can always ask for advice and get advice.

This is also a treatment that ordinary Zhou family members don't get at all.

It can be said that, except that the Supreme Elder is still out of reach, Zhou Chun's current treatment is not much different from that of Zhou Zhengkang back then.

Although he has not yet been listed as a family foundation seed, he has actually begun to enjoy that kind of treatment.
