Cultivating Immortals in the Family: Rising from Beast Familiarity

Chapter 9 Jiufeng Ridge

Zhou Chun didn't understand the meaning of Zhou Fei's words at first.

But when an old man in red from the Zhou family arrived at the scene riding a red flamingo, he understood what Zhou Fei meant.

This is because the old man in red is the foundation-building elder of the Zhou family, ranking third among the current three elders of the Zhou family.

The elder named Zhou Quan rushed to the scene. After learning the situation from Zhou Fei, he immediately reached out with cold eyes and patted the spirit animal bag on his waist, and released a tawny spirit pet like a marmot.

.

Then he gave a few instructions to the spirit pet, and the spirit pet ran to the place where the casual cultivators had been and started sniffing it.

After a while, the little thing squeaked and screamed at Zhou Quan, and then turned into a yellow phantom and rushed into the forest.

Seeing this, Zhou Quan immediately ordered Zhou Fei and others: "You go back to your clan first and report the situation to the clan leader. I will go and kill those blind rats!"

Then he used his second-level demonic beast Fire Crane to follow him.

This was because the Zhou family had migrated from another country. The local cultivators had no idea what they were capable of, so they dared to be so stupid as to attack the children of the Zhou family near the Zhou family's mountain gate.

The casual cultivators of Feng Country, after hearing about the name of the Zhou family of the Sanjue Sect, would never dare to ambush the Zhou family's children near the Zhou family's mountain gate without being completely sure of their murder.

Because the idiots who dared to do this in the past eventually became the spiritual pets tamed by the monks of the Zhou family.

At this time, seeing Zhou Quan's figure flying on a crane disappear over the mountain forest, Zhou Fei quickly came to his senses, waved to Zhou Chun and others and said: "Let's go, let's go back to the family first. The third elder personally took action, and those few

This stupid thief must be dead!"

So the group continued to move along the established route, and after traveling for more than 70 miles, they finally arrived at Jiufeng Ridge, where the current mountain gate of the Zhou family is located.

Jiufeng Ridge is located deep in the mountains. It is a beautiful place composed of nine beautiful peaks. It stretches for more than 20 miles from east to west and 178 miles from north to south.

Originally, this place was the home base of a group of casual cultivators in Lanzhou. On each of the nine peaks, there was one casual cultivator in the foundation-building stage, and another two to three hundred casual cultivators in the Qi-refining stage lived and practiced here.

After the Sanjue Sect was split up, the Zhou family, who had nowhere to go, quickly set their sights on this place.

After some inquiries and investigations, it was discovered that this group of casual cultivators had little connection with the sects and the family, so the Zhou family moved to Jiufeng Ridge and forcibly occupied this treasured cultivation land.

At this time, less than three months had passed since the battle involving hundreds of immortal cultivators, and traces of that battle could still be seen in many places inside and outside Jiufeng Ridge.

For example, mountains and forests that were burned down, and mountain peaks that were partially knocked down.

According to Zhou Yong's oral account, in that battle, although the Zhou family had Zifu-level monks in charge and many second-level spirit beasts comparable to foundation-building monks to help out, they still paid the price of more than a dozen clan members dying in battle.

win.

Now in Zhou Chun's sight, at the area where Jiufeng Ridge is located, he can only see the white fog of the formation, unable to clearly see the real scenery inside.

Led by Zhou Fei, the group of them walked around the area for a while before arriving at the mouth of a valley between two mountains.

When they arrived here, without them having to say anything, the monks of the Zhou family who were guarding the entrance and exit in the mist of the valley had already recognized Zhou Fei and Zhou Yong, greeted them, and asked about Zhou Chun's origins.

After getting Zhou Fei's explanation, Zhou Jingwen and Zhou Yong came to provide support.

The Zhou family monks inside quickly manipulated the formation, causing the formation fog leading into the valley to surge, revealing a passage for the two of them to walk side by side.

The four of them walked along the passage for less than a hundred feet, when their eyes suddenly opened up, and their sight was no longer obstructed and they could clearly see the world inside.

I saw that in the heaven and earth within this formation, nine spiritual peaks of different heights were distributed in the southeast, northwest and four directions, with dozens of small hills of various sizes guarding them.

Mountain forests, streams, lakes, waterfalls, deep pools, grasslands, mountain ravines, deep valleys...

All kinds of landforms can be found in this small world.

In that mountain forest, you can see the figures of apes playing in the treetops, and you can also see the vigorous postures of tigers and leopards when they jump and jump.

Beside the stream, there are deer, sheep, cattle, horses and other animals quietly eating green grass, and there are black bears playing in the water and fishing.

In the lake, there are giant turtles floating on the water basking on their backs.

At the bottom of the waterfall, several scary-looking blue-black giant pythons wrapped their bodies around the stone pillar-like rocks, letting the rapids wash away and seeming to enjoy themselves very much.

On the grass, there were seemingly underage teenagers from the Zhou family chasing and playing with giant wolves, while there was also a young girl holding a white fox that was larger than herself, combing its fur and catching insects.

On the edge of a secluded pool, two old men from the Zhou family were using a stone as a chessboard, each holding a black and white piece to catch and kill each other. Not far away, a wild boar-like monster with a single horn was "humming humming".

Wrestling head to head with another green bull monster.

Zhou Chun looked at this scene, and after the initial discomfort, he quickly fell in love with this place.

Man and nature are so harmoniously integrated, and animals and people coexist in such harmony. This kind of place can purify the soul and make people extremely relaxed.

Before coming to this world, this kind of place and this kind of life was what office workers like Zhou Chun dreamed of, and it was a place that could only exist in fantasy.

"Brother Chun, don't think too much. Although this place is not as good as our previous Sanjue Gate in Fengguo, it belongs exclusively to our Zhou family. As long as our Zhou family manages and develops in the future, it may not be as good as the Sanjue Gate at that time.

Worse!"

Walking among the roadless mountains and forests, Zhou Yong saw Zhou Chun walking all the way, and seemed to be in a bad mood. He thought he was disappointed with the situation in Jiufeng Ridge, so he quickly spoke out to comfort him.

Seeing that he had misunderstood, Zhou Chun shook his head repeatedly and said: "No, Brother Yong, you are worrying too much. This place is very good, very good, I am very satisfied!"

"Hahaha, as long as you are satisfied, that's good. As long as you're satisfied, that's good."

Zhou Fei, who was leading the way, burst out laughing when he heard what Zhou Chun said, obviously very satisfied with his answer.

After walking like this for another two quarters of an hour, the group finally arrived at the main peak of Jiufeng Ridge, where the head of the Zhou family works, Pagoda Peak.

Pagoda Peak, as its name suggests, looks like a round pagoda standing on the ground.

It is more than 470 feet high. The ancient trees on the peak are towering and the aura is rich. It is the best place for practice in Jiufeng Ridge.

Climbing from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside along an open mountain path, the view suddenly becomes wider, and a palace loft built next to the mountain appears.

Without waiting for Zhou Chun to take a closer look at these palace attics, Zhou Fei led them into the palace with the plaque "Zhongping Hall" hanging on it.

Soon, Zhou Chun saw Zhou Guyi, the patriarch of the Zhou family, deep in the hall.

Like most sects and families, the patriarch of the Zhou family is not the person with the highest level of cultivation.

Zhou Guyi's cultivation was only in the middle stage of foundation building.

But he became the patriarch of the Zhou family as early as when the Sanjue Sect was still there.

For Zhou Fei, Zhou Chun and other Zhou family disciples, this patriarch is more awe-inspiring to them than the current Supreme Elder of Zifuqi.

I saw that the head of the Zhou family had a majestic figure, a resolute face, and a majestic demeanor. It was obvious at a glance that he was someone who had been in a high position for a long time.

After he waited for Zhou Fei and the others to salute, he was not in a hurry to ask about Zhou Chun's affairs. He just asked Zhou Fei to report on the investigation in Hongyafang City, and took over the manual written by Zhou Fei for reading.

After reading the manual in less than a quarter of an hour, he put it down, nodded slightly and said, "You guys have done a pretty good job in this matter. I will record the relevant achievements for you."

Then he turned his eyes and looked at Zhou Chun and said: "Now let's talk about you. If I remember correctly, your name is Zhou Chun, right? You should have been working in Leopard Garden?"

As the head of the Zhou family, he has already memorized the names, appearances and whereabouts of the adult Zhou family monks.

Not long after meeting Zhou Chun just now, I had already recalled Zhou Chun's relevant information, and there was no need for Zhou Fei and others to introduce it.

At this time, hearing that he had turned the topic to himself, Zhou Chun quickly responded respectfully: "The patriarch has a sharp eye, and this junior is Zhou Chun."

Then he took the initiative to tell the story of how he fled all the way from Fengguo to Jingguo, and how he met Zhou Fei and others.

It's just that the part about falling out with Li Han, a monk from the Li family, was also hidden, and was changed to show that the two went their separate ways after hearing the news of the split of the Sanjue Sect.

Naturally, he was not afraid of Zhou Guyi's revelation of his half-truthful description, and he also believed that Zhou Guyi would not delve into the matter.

Sure enough, Zhou Guyi only praised and praised his escape experience and praised his determination and will to return to the family despite hardships and dangers, and did not ask any more questions about it.

Instead, after watching him ponder for a while, he nodded slightly and said: "Now that the family has just established its gates and is flourishing, it is the time when we need people. Zhou Chun, can you not be afraid of hardships and dangers and come back after all the hardships?"

The family deserves to be commended for this love and intention."

"Since the spiritual pet you originally cultivated has died in battle, I will give you this rock turtle spirit egg to cultivate as a new spiritual pet. I hope you can cherish this and make good use of it, and serve your family well in the future!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and patted a storage bag on his waist, took out a white jade box and handed it to Zhou Chun.

When Zhou Chun saw this, he was immediately overjoyed and overjoyed.

He was seen holding the jade box with both hands, and with a face filled with joy, he immediately bowed deeply to Zhou Guyi and said, "Thank you very much, the patriarch, for the reward. I will definitely work hard for the family in the future and live up to the love of the patriarch and the family."

"Okay, you can go to Baozhi Peak to practice. Regarding the current situation of my Zhou family, as well as the rules that need to be observed in the family, etc., you can find out from Zhou He, the peak master of Baozhi Peak."

After Zhou Guyi finished speaking, he waved his hand gently, indicating that they could leave.

Seeing this, Zhou Fei and others quickly bowed and left the place.
