Beast-controlling fairy clan

Wild places, ice caves.

Zhou Chun entered the ice cave again after several years. The "Sky Frost Bee" queen inside felt a little excited after sensing his aura.

After checking the situation of the bee swarm, he also showed surprise and joy.

It turns out that there are two more adult demon bees in the bee swarm that have entered the mature stage, and those young bees have now left the juvenile stage and entered the growth stage, and can go hunting with the bee swarm.

"It seems that my choice was right. This place is indeed helpful to the growth of 'Sky Frost Han Bee'."

Zhou Chun looked at the demon bees that had left their infancy and looked very satisfied.

As a strange insect on the "List of Strange Insects of Heaven and Earth", the "Sky Frost Bee" itself grows very slowly. Even in an environment that is very suitable for their growth, it takes hundreds of years to go from infancy to maturity, or even longer.

Zhou Chun has had these demon bees for some years, and now the young bees have just left the juvenile stage, which shows how slow the growth rate of this demon bee is.

But this is not an intolerable shortcoming.

Because compared to the strength and longevity of "Tian Shuang Han Bee" in the mature stage, these are all worth it.

A mature "Sky Frost Bee" can live for about three hundred years. If there are hundreds of mature "Sky Frost Bees" forming a fighting swarm, ordinary Golden Core Stage monks must also avoid their sharp edges. Dare to catch the torrent of cold air they spit out.

As long as he raises these demon bees well now, even if Zhou Chun forms a pill in the future, these demon bees will become an important means for him to fight against his enemies.

"By the way, since these monster bees came, it seems that the snow crystal insects have never appeared again. Won't they all be eaten by them?"

Zhou Chun glanced around, looking at the ice walls composed of thousands of years of ice, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

He originally released ten snow crystal insects here, and he must have successfully released them.

But later, as the demon bees settled here, he never saw those snow crystal insects again.

Therefore, he had every reason to suspect that this group of monster bees had eaten those snow crystal insects.

"Eat it as you like, this snow crystal insect is of no use to me anyway."

Shaking his head, Zhou Chun did not pursue the matter any further. He put a few demon bees in the spirit beast bag into the hive, put several other mature demon bees into the spirit beast bag, and left the ice cave.

In the next two months, Zhou Chun traveled through rivers and lakes in the wilderness, looking for traces of third-order dragon-born monsters.

After some searching, he actually found two third-order dragon-born monsters.

These two dragon-born monsters are a third-order mid-grade monster, the Unicorn Dragon Crocodile, and a third-order high-grade monster, the Silver-armored Dragon Fish. Their strength is much stronger than ordinary monsters of the same level.

However, under the joint siege of Zhou Chun and Bai Bai, the two dragon-born monsters were still beheaded and killed by them together.

In the process of hunting these two monsters, Zhou Chun also discovered one thing, that is, the cold air of the "Sky Frost Bee" and Baibai's thunder and lightning spells were very useful in preventing the monsters from exploding their demon pills.

In the two battles, after the two dragon-born monsters found out that they were destined to die, they both wanted to use their magic power to explode the demon pills themselves.

But both times were interrupted by lightning spell paralysis and cold air freezing, giving Zhou Chun a chance to kill them before they self-destructed the demon elixir.

This discovery was undoubtedly an unexpected surprise for Zhou Chun.

After all, what a cultivator fears most when hunting third-order or even fourth-order monsters is not how to defeat or even kill the monsters, but how to stop the monster's demon elixir from exploding.

The monster's self-explosion of the demon pill is not only a powerful move that will destroy both the jade and the stone, but it is also a means to make the immortal cultivator achieve nothing.

If Zhou Chun hadn't mastered the means to prevent monsters from self-destructing demon pills, the chances of Zifu period monks hunting third-level monsters and obtaining demon pills wouldn't actually be very high.

Many times, the monsters were obviously killed, but because the monsters self-destructed the demon pills, the final harvest was reduced by more than half.

Therefore, in those teams of Zifu period monks who form teams to hunt third-level monsters, there will often be a monk who practices ice walking skills or thunder walking skills, or prepares such magical weapons and talismans in order to At critical moments, it can slightly prevent the monster from destroying its demon pill.

However, it was gratifying to hunt down two third-order dragon-born monsters, but Zhou Chun's move also caused a lot of trouble.

After he hunted the third-level high-grade monster Silver Armored Dragon Fish, he took the Thunder Dragon in vain to hunt for treasure in the opponent's lair just like he had hunted the Blue Scale Dragon Fish and the Unicorn Dragon Crocodile before.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they found the entrance to the lair, Thunder Dragon Baibai suddenly sensed the aura of the fourth-level monster approaching at a rapid speed.

Zhou Chun was also frightened at that time, and hurriedly asked Bai Bai to release his breath to lure the fourth-level monster away, while he quickly ran ashore and escaped.

This decision undoubtedly saved his life at the time.

The fourth-level monster that was killed was easily lured away by the thunder dragon in vain, and it did not notice him, the human monk who came ashore.

However, this move caused the Thunder Dragon to be chased for thousands of miles by the fourth-order monster in vain. It was only after the chase reached Long Yuan Ze that the fourth-order monster stopped chasing him.

Bai Bai then followed Zhou Chun's instructions and returned to Lanzhou from the underground sewer on his own after escaping from danger.

When Zhou Chun returned to Lanzhou alone and learned the whole story from Bai Bai, he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

Previously, he had only been blinded by the demon elixir of the third-order dragon-born monster, but he had overlooked an important thing.

Many of the third-order monsters in the wilderness are the subordinates of a certain fourth-order monster. Especially after the Hualong Sect was severely damaged, the fourth-order monsters became the masters of the wilderness again.

Those dragon-born monsters are very powerful and can easily be valued by the fourth-level monsters and become their younger brothers.

Zhou Chun's killing of these third-order monsters will of course anger those fourth-order monsters and make them personally take revenge for their fallen brother.

After being hunted this time, although Thunder Dragon Baibai successfully escaped with his life, his identity was exposed in front of the fourth-level monster.

There is no guarantee that the fourth-level monster will not report this matter to the dragon clan later.

When the time comes to investigate the dragon clan and find out that there is no such dragon among the dragon clan in Longyuanze, things will get serious.

Of course, this probability should be low. After all, if it is just a fourth-level monster, it is not enough to gain the attention of the dragon clan.

But even so, this incident undoubtedly sounded the alarm for Zhou Chun, making him dare not act recklessly in the wilderness just because he had a third-order thunder dragon in hand.

After all, the wilderness is still the territory of the demon clan. He, a human monk, takes the demon beasts there to kill the third-level demon beasts. If he is really found out, the impact will be too great.

If it is not handled well, it may become a diplomatic dispute and arouse the anger of the dragon clan in Longyuanze.

After all, the third-order monsters that have condensed the demon elixir can be regarded as protected animals in a sense. Even those fourth-order monsters will not easily hunt other third-order monsters just to satisfy their appetites.

He is really greedy, that is, just like the black dragon in Long Yuanze, he secretly selected the second-level monsters with good qualifications to train them as his younger brothers, and then found reasons to kill them and eat them.

What's more, Bai Bai is still a four-clawed thunder dragon with superior bloodline qualifications. If the dragon clan knew about it, such a superior dragon would be enslaved by a Zifu stage human monk and specially used to hunt third-level monsters.

That would definitely anger those arrogant dragons and make them want to kill Zhou Chun and Bai Bai.

No matter what the situation is, it is undoubtedly a disaster for Zhou Chun.

So after escaping back to Lanzhou this time, he didn't even dare to go to the wilderness for a short period of time, and he also asked Zhou Daoyi to try not to ride the green dragon when he went there. It would be better to switch to other vehicles that can escape through water. The monster passed by.

"Three dragon-born monster inner elixirs are enough to refine three furnaces of 'Dragon Spirit Pill'. Together with the 'Zengyuan Pill', 'Huang Jingdan' and other elixir materials I have prepared, I think it will be better when I step into the realm of cultivation." Before the late Zifu period, the elixirs should be enough!"

In the cave on Tuyun Ridge, Zhou Chunpan silently considered the various spiritual objects in his hands and decided to stop.

I often walk by the river without getting my shoes wet.

He was able to escape this time, but he might not be able to escape next time.

Even if he wants to hunt the third-level monsters again, he would rather go to places like Duolan Grassland and Black Mist, where at least even if the existence of Thunder Dragon Baibai is exposed, he will not provoke behemoths like the Dragon Clan.

After making the decision, Zhou Chun took out a "Huang Jing Dan" and drank it, then concentrated on practicing in the cave.

As an elixir for monks in the middle and late stages of Zifu, "Huang Jing Dan" is much more effective than "Zeng Yuan Dan".

Even if Zhou Chun takes this elixir now, he will not be able to fully absorb and refine all the effects of the medicine, and will waste one or two percent of the medicine's power.

But even so, what he gained from refining a "Huang Jing Dan" was worth more than three years of practice.

After three years of cultivation in Tuyun Ridge and refining three "Huang Jing Dan", Zhou Chun vaguely sensed the barrier in the middle stage of Zifu.

Starting from the Zifu period, there are realm barriers between each small realm.

If cultivators want to break through this small realm barrier, they usually adopt two methods.

One is to loosen the realm barrier through years of polishing mana cultivation and impact again and again.

Zhou Mingde used this method to break through the middle stage of Zifu.

The second is to take certain elixirs that help break through the realm barrier and force a breakthrough.

Just like Lin Hongyu, in order to break through the late stage of Zifu as soon as possible, she took "Chiming Liuzhu Pill", a spiritual elixir specially used to help break through the realm barrier.

However, this kind of elixir is very precious, and it is very difficult to find it in Jingguo.

If Zhou Chun wanted to use the power of elixirs to break through the realm barrier, he would have to start from the Great Zhou Kingdom.

And he calculated the time and found that he and Luo Qingni had been separated for six or seven years. With each other's accumulation and the wonderful use of the [Five Elements Spirit Fruit], it was estimated that it would take less than ten years to successfully form the elixir.

Therefore, he had the idea of ​​going to the Great Zhou Kingdom again.

At this time, he walked out of the cave and came to the valley outside.

I saw that the sapling that was just a purple mulberry seedling three years ago has now grown to more than ten feet tall and bloomed with purple-green mulberry leaves.

At this time, the purple mulberry wood is still in the category of first-order spiritual trees in terms of spiritual strength, but the rich vitality it exudes is no worse than many second-order spiritual trees.

Zhou Chun estimates that if this continues, the tree will grow into a second-level spiritual tree in less than ten years.

"As expected of a descendant of a fifth-level spiritual tree, this foundation is truly unmatched by ordinary spiritual trees!"

Zhou Chun nodded, very satisfied with the growth of this purple mulberry tree.

Then he looked at the spiritual pets in the valley.

It has been some years since Golden Armored Rock Turtle Shitou was promoted to the second-level high-grade monster. Now that his cultivation has stopped growing, he can only seek opportunities to break through to the third level.

As for the Golden-winged Tiger, it has quickly caught up with its growth rate after losing its two eldest brothers to share resources, and has now been promoted to a second-level high-grade monster.

Later, Zhou Chun's important task besides his own cultivation was to seek opportunities for evolutionary breakthroughs for the two of them.

"Stones are easy to talk about. If Tianzhi Sanren's 'Mountain Soul Pearl' can be exchanged, with its talent, it should not be a big problem to condense the demon elixir."

"The Golden Winged Tiger is in some trouble. Although the dual attributes of gold and wind make it far more powerful than its peers, it also limits its scope of breakthroughs. It cannot rely on ordinary spiritual objects to assist in breakthroughs. It is estimated that it will have to start with elixirs. That’s it!”

Zhou Chun's eyes flashed, he raised his hand to summon the golden-winged tiger, and stroked its head. He also had some ideas in his mind about the evolutionary direction of the two spiritual pets.

He has always been a nostalgic person. These spiritual pets have been with him since he was a child, accompanying him in his growth and fighting. Their status in his heart is even greater than that of Su Yuzhen, a Taoist monk.

He has already regarded them as his own children.

So as long as there is an opportunity to help them evolve into high-level monsters, he will definitely spare no effort to do it.

After playing with several spiritual pets for a while, Zhou Chun summoned Zhou Mingde, who was also practicing in Tuyunling, to the cave and expressed his intention to travel to the Great Zhou Kingdom again.

He had mentioned this matter when he came back, so Zhou Mingde would naturally not object at this time.

After telling him to be careful about his own safety, he was released.

So Zhou Chun sorted out various things and quietly embarked on the road to the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Since this trip was not urgent, Zhou Chun also took a detour to Yangguo to visit Lin Wan'er who was practicing there.

"Clan leader, you came at the right time. There is something I just wanted to go to the family in person to report to you."

In the Red Jade Peak stronghold, Lin Wan'er was extremely pleasantly surprised when she saw Zhou Chun coming here. She immediately took him to her cave and talked about an important matter.

It turns out that after decades of development, Yang Kingdom has now recovered a lot of its vitality, so the world of immortality here has also gradually changed from its original barbaric and disorderly development.

Several great sects of Yang State that had suffered huge losses in the "Thousand Jue Cricket Disaster" are now interested in reviving their sects.

However, these sects suffered heavy losses in the insect plague. Not only were all the disciples below the fourth level killed or injured, but all the cultivating families under their command were also wiped out. It can be said that the gap between the upper and lower levels was extremely serious.

At this time, they wanted to revitalize the sect and use the previous method of slowly recruiting and cultivating disciples. This was undoubtedly too inefficient and would not yield results even in hundreds of years.

It may even be impossible to produce results at all.

After all, there are not many immortal cultivating families to provide them with high-quality immortal seedlings as disciples. The number of mortals that Yang Kingdom has restored now cannot produce many people with spiritual root qualifications.

The most important thing is that they, whose mountain gate and resource points were destroyed by the insect plague, can no longer use the same resources as before to train disciples.

So these sects set their sights on the various Immortal Cultivation Families and Rogue Cultivators who have moved here in Yang Kingdom, hoping to recruit these families and Rogue Cultivators to build the basic structure of the sect.

This matter was originally a good thing for those cultivating families and casual cultivators above the foundation building stage, which would benefit both sides.

Because in this way, they not only have a big backer to protect them, and high-level monks to guide their practice, but they can also form their own faction within the sect and gain a lot of rights.

But for the Hongyu Peak stronghold, this matter is not easy to handle.

After all, the Hongyu Peak stronghold is now run under the banner of Lin Hongyu, a Jindan monk, and the Jinguang Sect of the Yangguo sect, which has incorporated the Hongyu Peak stronghold, wants to transfer Hongyu to the Jinguang Sect on the condition that Lin Hongyu is granted the position of elder of the Jinguang Sect. The monks from the peak stronghold and Lin Hongyu himself were recruited.

Although the Jinguang Sect suffered heavy losses in the insect plague, it still has one Nascent Soul Stage monk and several Golden Core Stage monks, and its top-level combat strength is still there.

Now that their recruitment order has arrived at Hongyu Peak Stronghold, there are only two roads left for Hongyu Peak Stronghold.

"I understand this matter. Elder Lin, you can pack your things and return to your family tomorrow. I will personally escort you for a while. If the Jinguang Sect of the Red Jade Peak stronghold wants it, then give it to them!"

After Zhou Chun listened to Lin Wan'er's account, he immediately expressed his decision without even thinking about it.

It is impossible for him or the Zhou family to let Lin Hongyu join the Jinguang Sect, and I believe it is impossible for Lin Hongyu to join it.

So there is no good choice at all, just slap the butt and leave.

Anyway, the mission of the Ruby Peak stronghold was actually over after the [Earth Crystal Jade] vein was hollowed out.

Apart from Lin Waner, who had been staying here for decades, no one in the Zhou family would be reluctant to give up this place.

"Yes, I obey."

Lin Wan'er opened her mouth, but finally lowered her head and agreed.

She had actually known for a long time that Zhou Chun would make such a decision, but it was just that it would not be easy for her to make up her mind in a place where she had been staying for decades.

If Zhou Chun hadn't arrived, maybe she would have tried to stall for a while to see if there were other opportunities.

But now that Zhou Chun had helped her make up her mind, she had nothing more to say.

Early the next morning, Zhou Chun personally escorted Lin Hongyu out of the Hongyu Peak stronghold just as he said.

As for the other monks in the stronghold, no one would want to follow Lin Hongyu.

After all, compared to a cultivating family like the Zhou family that didn't even have a Golden Core monk, becoming a disciple of the Jinguang Sect, a large sect, was obviously much more tempting.

After escorting Lin Wan'er for thousands of miles in this way, Zhou Chun let her return to the family alone and transferred to the Great Zhou Kingdom.

A few months later, Zhou Chun arrived at Tianyuan Immortal City smoothly.

Naturally, the first thing he did after returning to Tianyuan Immortal City was to inquire about Luo Qingni.

The result of the inquiry was not as expected. Luo Qingni had not successfully formed the elixir at this time.

So Zhou Chun went to the place where caves were rented in Immortal City, rented a cave not far from Luo Qingni's cave, and paid the rent for five years at a time.

From then on, Zhou Chun concentrated on practicing in seclusion in the rented cave, waiting for Luo Qingni to come out.

Almost two years later, the celestial phenomenon of forming pills finally appeared in the sky where Luo Qingni Cave Mansion was located.
