"No wonder, no wonder Tianjing Sect refused to save the immortal cultivating families under Tuyunling Guo family and others before. It turns out that Tianjing master secretly cultivates another group of forces, and even has two Golden Core monks!"
On Tuyun Ridge, Zhou Chun's face became very strange as he looked at the latest information in his hand. He finally solved the question that he had been confused about before.
It was already three months after Master Tianjing returned to Tianjing Sect, and the recent events in Tianjing Villa shocked many monks.
After Yu Jinghua, the only deputy sect master of the Golden Core stage, escaped with the treasures in the Tianjing Sect's treasure house, many people originally wanted to see the joke in Tianjing Villa and see how Tianjing Master would clean up this mess.
Who would have thought that Master Tianjing has cultivated a group of forces elsewhere, and now he has attracted two Jindan monks, ten Zifu monks, and sixty or seventy Foundation-building monks, thousands of them.
A monk in the Qi refining stage.
Such a huge force is no less powerful than the former Tianjing Sect on the outside, and there is one more Golden Core Stage cultivator.
With such a huge force existing, it is no wonder that Tianjing Zhenren was so ambitious that he wanted to replace Qinglian Temple and make Tianjing Sect the third sect in Jingguo.
It's a pity that although Master Tianjing is also very cunning, he still misjudged Master Qingxiao's strength and courage. In the end, he made a single mistake and lost everything.
Now not only has the Tianjing Sect been disbanded, but these direct subordinates who were previously raised in other countries will also be moved to Jingguo to serve Jingguo in the future.
"With this addition and subtraction, Tianjing Villa has filled the gap of the original Xuanzhu Palace. With Tianjing Zhenren, a Nascent Soul Stage monk, Lingzhou's overall strength has become even stronger."
"I just don't know how Tianjing Villa can support so many Foundation Establishment monks and Zifu monks in the future!"
"There is also Yu Jinghua who has swept away the resources of Tianjing Sect's treasure house and escaped. How will Master Tianjing deal with him?"
Zhou Chun looked in the direction of Tianjing Villa and whispered to himself.
Regarding his two doubts, he was quickly answered through the movements of Tianjing Villa.
First of all, Tianjing Villa continued to retain the management rights of the two major cities in Lingzhou, and confiscated the property of the original Lingzhou cultivating families in the cities, cleared out the clan members of the cultivating families who were hiding in the cities, and formed a new organization called "
"Tian Jing Lou" Chamber of Commerce.
Therefore, Jiang Chuanxiong, the foundation-building monk of the Jiang family who the Zhou family had been keeping an eye on, was also kicked out, and before driving him out, the Zhou family was thoughtfully notified.
After Zhou Chun learned the news, he was naturally not polite. After thanking the people at Tianjing Villa, he sent Zhou Zhengyong with the Golden Winged Tiger to kill him, thus solving a hidden danger for the family.
Tianjing Villa subsequently carried out reforms and dismissed nearly half of its Qi Refining Stage monks, leaving only less than 600 people to maintain the operation of the two places and Tianjing Villa.
Even the foundation-building monks dismissed more than twenty people and asked them to find their own way out.
In this way, relying on the financial resources of the two places and the high-level spiritual veins of Tianjing Villa, it is enough to keep those monks of the Zifu and Jindan stages.
What's more, according to the promotional slogan of Tianjing Villa, in the future, the "Tianjing Tower" in the market will have third-level magic tools, third-level magic tools, foundation-building pills, etc. for sale, and will also accept some second-level and third-level magic tools.
, the customization of elixirs and formations, it seems that some of their high-level monks are proficient in the art of cultivating immortals.
If this is the case, the financial situation of Tianjing Villa will not be a big problem.
At the same time, Tianjing Villa announced the wanted order for Yu Jinghua. Anyone who can provide his accurate hiding place will receive a spiritual object that will help open up the Zi Mansion.
Such a huge reward is enough to attract many foundation-building stage casual cultivators and cultivating families to contribute to this matter.
"But as long as Yu Jinghua is not stupid, after hearing about the return of Master Tianjing, he must have fled far away and become anonymous. If you want to find him, it really depends on your luck!"
Zhou Chun secretly thought that he didn't have much hope of finding Yu Jinghua, a slave with the third surname.
The most important thing for the Zhou family at the moment is to build the Tuyunling villa.
In terms of the quality of spiritual veins, Tuyunling is better than Jiufengling, and the location here is also excellent, whether you go to Hongyafang City in Lanzhou, the two major cities in Lingzhou, or even Xianyunfang City in Yunzhou
, it’s not that far away, a foundation-building monk can arrive within a day.
If the Zhou family hadn't been operating in Jiufeng Ridge for hundreds of years, Zhou Chun would have wanted to use this place as the Zhou family's mountain gate.
Therefore, in line with the idea of not wasting such a spiritual place, he specially invited a Zifu-level formation master from the You family to arrange a tailor-made formation for this place.
On this day, accompanied by Zhou Xindie, the formation master of the You family came to Zhou Chun with the survey results.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, after You Mou's on-site investigation, it was found that the earth's atmosphere below Tuyun Ridge is relatively deep, which is suitable for setting up a large earth array that focuses on defense. You Mou has three options for Zhou Daoyou to choose from."
This formation master of the You family is only at the early stage of Zifu. He is also gray-haired and looks like he will not live long.
This person is somewhat similar to Zhou Chongshan, the late second elder of the Zhou family. They were both monks who were obsessed with formations all their lives. The success of opening the Zi Mansion was the result of the strong support of the You family.
This time, in order to invite him to help the Zhou family set up the formation, Zhou Chun also invested money in exchange for some advanced formation inheritance that the Zhou family had obtained over the years.
Moreover, this transaction only allows him to help set up the formation, and the Zhou family must prepare all related formation materials by themselves.
After listening to the other party's words, Zhou Chun's eyes flashed slightly and he replied: "Oh, Zhou will take a look first."
Then he took the information prepared by the You family's formation master and started looking at it.
I saw that the three options prepared by the You Family Formation Master each have their own merits.
The power of two of the formations is not much different from the "Five Directions Miluo Formation" on the Zhou family's Jiufeng Ridge, but they are more focused on defense and have stronger defensive capabilities.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The remaining formation is extraordinary, it is a forbidden formation that can withstand the attack of the Golden Core Stage monks.
However, the layout of the Forbidden Formation not only requires the formation master's own formation skills to be very high, but also the various materials required to set up the formation are very expensive.
After Zhou Chun read it, he immediately had concerns in his mind.
I saw him put down the information, looked at the Master of the You Family Array with piercing eyes and asked: "Is this Nine Palaces Yellow Dragon Array, as Daoist You said, true that once it is successfully deployed, it will be difficult for even the Golden Core Stage monks to break through?"
?”
Hearing this, the formation master of the You family suddenly said with a proud face: "Not only is it difficult for monks in the Golden Core stage to break through, but if fellow Daoist Zhou can really find a Huanglong stone of the right size, he will refine the nine formation disks, slowly accumulate power, and wait until it is fully released.
When the power of this formation is unleashed, ordinary early-stage Jindan monks may be severely injured if they don't know the details of the formation in advance!"
Hearing his answer, Zhou Chun immediately said: "Huanglong Stone is a magical material for refining magic weapons. The amount of Huanglong Stone You Daoyou needs is too large. The Zhou family may not be able to collect it in a short time."
Can we use alternative materials as a transition first? After the Zhou family collects a sufficient amount of Huanglong Stone, we can ask fellow Daoist You to refine it into formation disks to complete the formation!"
Although he doesn't understand formations himself, Zhou Chun also knows that the materials for most formations are not unique and can be replaced by other materials.
However, if alternative materials are used, the power of the formation will be much weakened.
But if he could temporarily use other materials to replace the magic weapon spiritual material Huanglong Stone, and let the Nine Palaces Yellow Dragon Formation start operating first, then he would naturally have the confidence to slowly collect materials and lay out a genuine formation.
"Of course you can use alternative materials, but in that case, not only will the power of the Nine Palaces Yellow Dragon Formation be only about 30% of the original version, but the array's protection range will also be much reduced, and it can only protect a range of more than ten miles. Compared with your Zhou family's Jiufeng
It’s not as good as the Five Directions Miluo Formation at Ling.”
"And if you use alternative materials, once the formation is attacked by a strong enemy, even if the formation is not broken, many formation flags and formation disks may be damaged. At that time, you will have to prepare new materials to refine these."
The tone of the formation master of the You family clearly indicated that he was not optimistic about the use of the simplified version of the formation.
After Zhou Chun heard what he said, he became more determined and immediately shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't involve materials like magic weapons and spiritual materials, my Zhou family can still find a substitute for other materials at any time.
.”
"Well, since you insist on this, Fellow Daoist Zhou, then You naturally has no objection."
The Master of the You Family Array said, and then solemnly said: "But You have to tell you one thing. At present, only You in the You family has a thorough understanding of the Nine Palaces Yellow Dragon Formation and can arrange it, and You Mou has only Shouyuan."
There are about fifty years left. If you cannot find enough Huanglong Stones within this period, then you will have to find someone to arrange other formations!"
"That's enough. Fifty years is enough!"
Zhou Chun nodded, his tone revealing strong confidence.
This made the formation master of the You family couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and then whispered softly: "They say that your Zhou family has become very prosperous in recent years, and it seems that it is true!"
Although his cooing voice was low, Zhou Chun could not hear it, but when he heard it, it was as if he had not heard it, smiling and saying nothing.
The development of the Zhou family over the years is obvious to all. No matter how hard they hide it, it cannot be ignored.
However, the Zhou family is not a soft persimmon now. Even if some people are curious about where the Zhou family made their fortune, they dare not delve too deeply into it.
As for Qinglian Temple, they knew that the Zhou family had a deal with the Long Yuan Ze Scale Frog alien race, and also knew that the Zhou family had acquired an Earth Element Crystal Jade mine. In addition, the Zhou family didn't even have a Golden Core monk, so they wouldn't go too far.
I care.
Anyway, no matter what outsiders guess, as long as the Zhou family does not respond and acts cautiously, this argument will still be difficult to shake the foundation of the Zhou family.
After finalizing the layout of the mountain protection formation, Zhou Chun immediately mobilized the manpower of the Zhou family and arranged for the elders to personally travel to various cities in Jingguo and neighboring countries to purchase relevant materials.
In fact, another reason that made Zhou Chun decide to choose the Nine Palaces Yellow Dragon Formation was that the formation required a lot of earth element crystal jade, and the Zhou family happened to have a lot of this in stock.
The previous supply agreement period between the Zhou family and Qinglian Guanjindan monk Shanyangzi ended three years ago, and Shanyangzi no longer needs this kind of spiritual object.
Therefore, the Tuyuan Crystal Jade ore subsequently mined is still stored in the Zhou family's treasury.
It comes in handy now.
However, these Earth Element Crystal Jade ores are also the last ores. The ore veins in Yang Kingdom have almost been mined out now. Lin Wan'er still stays in Yang Kingdom simply because she can't bear to part with the Ruby Peak stronghold that she worked so hard to build.
After all, that stronghold can now provide an income of several thousand spirit coins a year.
Zhou Chun and the Zhou family did not object to this. Although the stronghold of Jiaotu Sancao and Yangguo was far away, it might still be useful in the future, so it would be good to keep it.
Time passed quickly, and two years passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past two years, the Zhou Family's Tuyunling Villa has been basically completed. The simplified version of the mountain-protecting array, the Nine Palaces and the Yellow Dragon Formation, has been officially put into use. Various buildings inside have also been built, including some that are housed inside the Jiufengling Mountain Gate.
The monsters have also moved here, which has reduced the burden on Jiufengling Mountain Gate a lot.
Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun also moved to Tuyun Ridge to practice, and only Zhou Daoyi continued to sit at the gate of Jiufeng Ridge to take care of the green dragons in the dragon's lair.
At this time, Zhou Chun finally had a formal cave.
His cave is located at the spiritual eye of Tuyunling's spiritual veins, which is even better than Zhou Mingde's cave. It is a valley on the mountain covering an area of more than 20 acres.
This valley is protected by the power of the Nine Palaces Yellow Dragon Formation. Looking outside, you can only see a yellow mist.
In fact, the fog does not exist, but the physical eyes and spiritual consciousness are deceived by the illusion.
This is the power of the Forbidden Formation. Every Forbidden Formation, regardless of its focus on attack or defense, will be equipped with various functions such as transformation, confinement, and movement, etc., and its functions are very comprehensive.
The valley is rich in spiritual energy, which is very suitable for the Golden Armored Rock Turtle to practice. It dug a big pit in a corner of the valley. It usually likes to lie down in the big pit, cover itself with soil, and slowly absorb the spiritual power of the earth to improve its cultivation.
.
Zhou Chun also paid great attention to his first cave dwelling. Not only did he build the residence himself, he also built residences for his spiritual pets and spiritual insects.
For example, Mu Mei's residence is a thousand-year-old pine tree. Zhou Chun exchanged a thousand-year-old elixir with a certain family. This was an exchange that the other family only agreed to if they wanted to make good friends with the Zhou family.
Of course, when Zhou Chun exchanged it, he definitely didn't say it was used to raise the wood charm, he just said that the formation center of the mountain-protecting formation needed such a spiritual tree to suppress it.
Others such as "Black Armor Golden Feather" and "Flying Fire Scorpion" also have special insect chambers.
As for the silver lightning python Baibai and the golden-winged tiger, they naturally have their own style of residence.
On this day, Zhou Chun was practicing in the cave, and suddenly he felt that the formation outside the valley was touched by someone. With a sweep of his consciousness, he discovered that the person who came was actually Zhou Daoyi who was sitting at the gate of Jiufengling Mountain.
"Zhengshun, Hongyu has been released from seclusion."
As soon as Zhou Daoyi entered Zhou Chun's cave, he smiled and explained his purpose to him.
