Chapter 1917: Chapter 1917

"The ’Purple Bead Pill’ requires the ’Bloodroot’ with an age of over five thousand years, the ’Purple Origin Immortal Ganoderma’ with an age of over five thousand years, along with three other auxiliary herbs also aged over five thousand years, and sixteen kinds of Treasure Medicine of a millennium age."

"Now, Taoist Friend Zhou already possesses the most precious ’Bloodroot’ and ’Purple Origin Immortal Ganoderma,’ as well as another auxiliary herb and most of the varieties of Treasure Medicine of a millennium age. He only needs to find the remaining two auxiliary herbs and several kinds of Treasure Medicine to complete the entire set of materials required for the ’Purple Bead Pill’!"

Luo Qingni recounted these details as if enumerating her family treasures, carefully explaining the situation.

After she successfully formed her Nascent Soul and confirmed that she would not be able to leave the Zhou Family in the future, all kinds of Spiritual Medicine owned by the Zhou Family were made entirely accessible to her.

Except for a few rare Spiritual Medicines like the ’Taiqing Immortal Ganoderma’ that it was inconvenient for her to know, she was almost fully aware of all the Spiritual Medicine information that Zhou Chun and the Zhou Family could master and mobilize.

Hence, Zhou Chun came to her to inquire about the uses of these Spiritual Medicines.

After listening to her words, Zhou Chun also showed a look of delight and immediately said, "Since this is the case, I will pay special attention to the Spiritual Medicines you mentioned, Qingni, and strive to gather them as soon as possible!"

Becoming addicted to medicine is the real situation Zhou Chun finds himself in currently.

Before forming his Nascent Soul, his cultivation level advanced rapidly, with the Elixirs playing an enormous part.

Having become accustomed to relying on the power of Elixirs for rapid advancement, even after decades since forming his Nascent Soul, he still often reminisces about the speed of cultivation he once had.

Currently, although his cultivation speed is not considered slow compared to other Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, without any shortcuts, it would be impossible for him to touch the boundary of the mid-Nascent Soul Stage in less than six to seven hundred years.

For someone who has lived a total of only six to seven hundred years like him, this is undoubtedly something he finds very hard to get used to and somewhat difficult to accept.

Thus, if he could continue using Elixirs to greatly shorten this time, he would naturally be most willing.

After discussing carefully with Luo Qingni regarding the disposition plan for those Spiritual Medicines, Zhou Chun then returned to his cave residence.

Following his instructions, Zhou Zhiying again left Jingguo Country for the Doran Prairie, to gather the Spiritual Medicines needed for Luo Qingni’s alchemy from the Secret Realm Island there.

The Elixirs that Luo Qingni would refine next would primarily benefit her.

Time swiftly passed, and three years went by in the blink of an eye.

On this day, after completing his routine meditation practice, Zhou Chun received a message from Zhou Daoyi conveying some disheartening news.

Zhou Zhixiong, who previously obtained the complete set of Nascent Soul Spirit Materials, ultimately failed in Core Formation and also died in the seclusion chamber!

The cultivator guarding the soul tablets in the Zhou Family Ancestral Hall discovered the complete shattering of his soul tablet only later and immediately reported it to Zhou Daoyi.

Zhou Chun also felt quite a pity for this outcome.

He had always hoped that the Zhou Family could produce a grandmaster-level figure capable of making a noteworthy contribution to some important art, and Zhou Zhixiong had seemed the most promising candidate up till now.

But now, it seems he will have to wait a few more years.

Fortunately, he is in his prime, so he can afford to wait.

Moreover, the Zhou Family now has Luo Qingni, a true Alchemy Grandmaster, sitting in charge; at least in terms of alchemy, they are not at all inferior to those old, powerful factions.

Nowadays, under Luo Qingni’s guidance, the alchemists within the Zhou Family have visibly improved their standards significantly, leading to the stores in the Zhou Family’s marketplace seeing noticeably brisker business in Elixirs.

In these years, Luo Qingni has also consistently opened several alchemy furnaces and has refined all the high-tier Spirit Pills she previously spoke of.

Zhou Zhiying, upon obtaining those Elixirs that enhance Mana and cultivation level, has also begun secluded training with dedication.

Her Spirit Root Aptitude is excellent, and her cultivation speed far surpasses ordinary people. Now with the help of Elixirs, she has the prospect of hitting the Nascent Soul stage within a century!

If she indeed accomplishes that, her age at forming Nascent Soul and transforming Elixir will surpass Zhou Chun by several decades, breaking the record Zhou Chun set before!

Zhou Chun is eagerly anticipating this. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novｅlfire.net

One day, Zhou Chun suddenly received an invitation card, surprisingly sent by Ziyang True Person.

The invitation earnestly asked him to visit Tianyuan Immortal City in the Great Zhou Kingdom for a discussion.

"What kind of scheme is this Old Thief Ziyang plotting this time?"

Looking at the invitation in his hand, Zhou Chun pondered deeply.

In these years, he has single-mindedly focused on secluded cultivation, deliberately avoiding trouble; the Moon Wheel Sect and Sunflame Sect, apprehensive of his prowess, haven’t dared to take the initiative against the Zhou Family.

At most, they’ve restricted or suppressed the Zhou Family on some commercial levels.

"Let’s see what kind of trick he wants to play this time!"

After much contemplation, Zhou Chun decided to meet with the other party.

After making some arrangements regarding the family situation, he, accompanied by Fengyuan Monarch, set off for Tianyuan Immortal City, leaving Luo Qingni and Silver Dragon Monarch to guard the family’s stronghold.

Since the meeting was at Tianyuan Immortal City, Zhou Chun first registered with the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators stationed there before being allowed to enter.

Inside an estate in the Immortal City, Zhou Chun met the Ziyang True Person, whom he hadn’t seen in many years.

At this time, the Ziyang True Person, having had his body destroyed by Zhou Chun, had already taken over the body of a young cultivator, appearing exceptionally young.

Although his body had changed, his aura and gaze remained those that Zhou Chun was familiar with.
