Chapter 1843: Chapter 1843
Zhou Chun spoke up, and also lifted his hand to pat the storage pouch at his waist, taking out two jade boxes and handing them to Qianmu True Person.
These jade boxes contained two different types of spiritual medicine, yet they were auxiliary items required for refining the same elixir, specifically the Infant Transformation Pill!
If it weren’t for the offer of such rewards, how could Zhou Chun, who just returned to the Zhou Family not long ago, have moved Qianmu True Person, a Nascent Soul Stage Array Grandmaster, to laboriously set up the Mountain Protection Array?
Seeing him now offering the rewards as promised, the smile on Qianmu True Person’s face became even broader.
After briefly inspecting the quality of the spiritual medicine in the two jade boxes, he accepted them with a smile, nodding repeatedly to Zhou Chun, saying, "There’s nothing wrong with these items; they’re exactly as Taoist Friend Zhou described. This old man will humbly accept them!"
Afterward, he exchanged some pleasantries with Zhou Chun and left a set of notes he wrote for the daily maintenance of the Heavenly Yi Green Dragon Formation before voluntarily taking his leave.
Once Qianmu True Person was seen off, Zhou Chun turned back to look at Zhang Liang, the noticeably older Array Master of the Zhou Family.
Although Qianmu True Person had indeed exerted much effort to set up the array over these years, Zhang Liang, the Zhou Family’s own Array Master, undoubtedly expended the most energy.
His cultivation level was already low, and his array expertise was far inferior to Qianmu True Person’s. Many times, in order to fully understand what Qianmu True Person taught, he had to burn midnight oil to ponder and learn.
And cultivators are also human; if they exert themselves for a long period, it will accelerate the exhaustion of life span.
So even though only three years had passed, Zhang Liang’s life span had diminished far more than that!
The feeling Zhou Chun got from him now was as if he could sit and transform at any moment, and his actual life span probably wouldn’t exceed three years!
Thinking of this, Zhou Chun spoke with a concerned tone, "Elder Zhang, how are you feeling right now?"
Hearing this concern-laden speech, Zhang Liang bowed slightly and answered respectfully, "Thank you for your concern, Clan Leader. This junior shouldn’t die anytime soon and should be able to live for another year or two to sort out what was learned from Senior Qianmu!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately waved his hand and said, "There’s no rush in this matter. Since you’re temporarily fine, take a few days of rest and then visit Elder Luo. She is an Alchemy Grandmaster and should know how to help you adjust your body to extend your life span as much as possible."
Luo Qingni is currently busy cultivating and won’t leave the cave easily or see outsiders.
But she will certainly give face to Zhou Chun.
And Zhou Chun also needs Zhang Liang, this Array Master, to fully pass down his life’s most valuable array knowledge to the next generation of array mages in the family.
Naturally, Zhang Liang wouldn’t refuse this, hurriedly bowing in gratitude, "Thank you for your kindness, Clan Leader, this junior understands."
"Alright, then you go rest for now."
Zhou Chun nodded slightly and sent him off to rest.
In the following months, Zhou Chun, Zhou Mingde, Zhou Daoyi, and Zhou Xinyan, the four Golden Core Stage cultivators of the Zhou Family, were busy familiarizing themselves with the control techniques of the Heavenly Yi Green Dragon Formation.
Once Zhou Chun was completely familiar with the array’s operations, he handed the main array flag to Zhou Mingde, allowing them to continue taking turns to familiarize themselves, while he returned to the cave to cultivate.
A year later, the Flame Prison Phoenix finally completely refined the Fourth Order top-grade Demon Core, reaching the level necessary to trigger the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation.
"Feng’er, how is your cultivation of the Fire Spirit Incarnation secret technique? Is it now sufficient to handle the heavenly tribulation?"
In the cave, Zhou Chun looked at the Flame Prison Phoenix, whose aura was full and rounded, and while he felt gratified and happy, he also started to be concerned about its training in the tribulation crossing secret techniques.
The Flame Prison Phoenix actually has an apparent shortcoming in this aspect, which is that it only awakened its bloodline inheritance less than a hundred years ago.
Whereas the Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai awakened its bloodline inheritance right after breaking through to the Fourth Order, thus having ample time to cultivate the tribulation crossing secret techniques.
Indeed, upon hearing Zhou Chun’s words, the Flame Prison Phoenix replied with some apprehension, "In response to the Master, because too much effort was put into the Heaven Extinction Four Symbols Formation, the Fire Spirit Incarnation secret technique still lacks quite a bit of practice to be perfected!"
It actually hadn’t expected that Zhou Chun could obtain a Fourth Order top-grade fire attribute Demon Core for it to swallow and refine.
According to its normal growth and cultivation, by the time it reached Fourth Order perfection, it should have been enough to successfully cultivate the Fire Spirit Incarnation secret technique.
Upon hearing its response, Zhou Chun fell silent.
After witnessing the power of the heavenly tribulation when Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai crossed its tribulation, he no longer dared to underestimate the power of these top-tier demon beast races’ heavenly thunder tribulations. This update ıs available on novelꜰire.net
The heavenly tribulation power of the Flame Prison Phoenix, which possessed seven Fire Phoenix True Feathers, shouldn’t be less powerful than the heavenly tribulation that Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai experienced.
But its preparation for crossing the tribulation clearly isn’t as thorough as that of Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai!
"If that’s the case, you shouldn’t rush to cross the tribulation right now. Instead, focus on diligently cultivating the tribulation crossing secret techniques first, and I’ll see if I can prepare a few more tribulation crossing Dharma treasures for you!"
Zhou Chun, after a moment of silence, gently offered his suggestion.
If possible, of course, he wished for the Flame Prison Phoenix to cross the tribulation immediately.
But given its current state of preparation, hastily crossing the tribulation would probably yield less than a fifty percent success rate.
