Chapter 1300: Chapter 537: Trading the Demon Core, Opportunity for Advancement [Request Subscription]_3

As Zhou Mingde’s Spirit Pet, the Fire Divine Jackal is now only a short time away from accumulating enough to break through to the Third Order Superior Demon Beast.

Once it breaks through to the Third Order Superior Demon Beast realm, its potential will be nearly exhausted. To break through to the Fourth Order, it must have the help of a noble benefactor.

A Fourth-Order Inferior Fire Attribute Demon Pill that matches its attributes very well is an excellent Breaking Through the Realm Spiritual Object for it, equivalent to the Nascent Soul Spirit Material used by cultivators for Core Formation.

Back when Zhou Chun was weak, the Fire Divine Jackal saved his life several times and helped him escape danger.

This time, exchanging for the Fourth-Order Demon Pill can be considered Zhou Chun’s repayment for the life-saving grace it once bestowed upon him.

In the eighth year of arriving at Tianyuan Immortal City, the Zhou Family Elder Zhou Zhengyong and Lin Wan’er came to the Great Zhou Kingdom and reported several important matters to Zhou Chun.

"Two years ago, Green Lotus Temple had a new Golden Core Stage cultivator, and then Green Lotus Temple drove out the clan members in Lan and Lianzhou Marketplaces, closed the family shops, and forbade the ’Worldwide Circle’ firm from operating in both areas!"

"Moreover, the family’s business with other Green Lotus Temple subordinate families is greatly affected, with many families receiving orders prohibiting trade cooperation with us!"

"More importantly, rumors curated by Green Lotus Temple are now circulating throughout the Jingguo Country Cultivation Realm, claiming that our Zhou Family is actually spies planted by the Dragon Transformation Sect, and the number of family cultivators who have gone missing or fallen compared to before has increased significantly!"

"The Supreme Elder has now ordered clan members not to go out alone and started imposing certain restrictions on clan members’ outings, but this remedy is merely a band-aid and difficult to sustain long-term!"

Inside the cave residence, Zhou Chun frowned as he listened to the family news brought by Zhou Zhengyong.

He had anticipated that Green Lotus Temple might attack the Zhou Family commercially, but fabricating rumors that the Zhou Family are Dragon Transformation Sect spies was truly beyond his expectations.

After all, the Zhou Family had indirectly killed a Golden Core Late Stage cultivator from Dragon Transformation Sect, and the Zhou Family high-ranking members’ hands were stained with the blood of Dragon Transformation Sect cultivators.

"Regarding those rumors, what does the Moon Wheel Sect have to say?"

After some contemplation, Zhou Chun looked at Zhou Zhengyong and asked about the situation.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhengyong slightly shook his head and said, "Because it’s merely private gossip, the Moon Wheel Sect has not made any statements."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately said, "Then Brother Yong, after you return, take a letter from me to visit Elder Su at the Moon Wheel Sect, and ask her to help deliver it to Baiyue True Person!"

He then continued, "As for the increased incidents of missing and fallen family cultivators, simply withdrawing is not a solution. Have the family’s elders and core clan members secretly protect them, to see who exactly is targeting the Zhou Family. If we can capture someone alive and confirm it is the doing of a certain force, then we can make an example out of them!"

Zhou Chun does not believe Green Lotus Temple dares to send its disciples to assassinate Zhou Family cultivators outside; if caught, they would be indefensible.

So, those who attack and kill Zhou Family cultivators are certainly hired loose cultivators or other cultivator family members.

Therefore, as long as we capture someone alive and gather evidence, the Zhou Family can make an example out of them, letting those loose cultivators and family forces understand the serious consequences of meddling in the struggles between large families and sects!

This may not completely eliminate such incidences, but it would deter many, and increase the cost for Green Lotus Temple to hire individuals.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhengyong nodded repeatedly and said, "I understand, I will definitely convey your words to the Supreme Elder."

Then he asked, "And one more thing, due to the emergence of rumors, the Supreme Elder is worried that Green Lotus Temple might have discovered something. He specifically asked me to inquire if you, Thirteenth Brother, can temporarily stop the family’s regular dealings with the Wasteland Territory, just allowing Family Elder to visit there once every six months for updates?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun merely pondered briefly before nodding, "Alright, then let Uncle Ancestor Daoquan take the Bloodflame Dragon Python and go to the Wasteland Territory to oversee everything there!"

Having discussed some important matters, Zhou Zhengyong then spoke of other happenings within the family over the last few years.

For example, a new Superior Spiritual Root Talent cultivator with dual gold and water attributes named Zhou Zhiqian appeared from the ’Zhi’ generation. His father is Zhou Family’s Foundation Establishment cultivator Zhou Yuanliang, and his mother is a Qi Refinement Realm female cultivator nurtured by Zhou Family in the Wasteland Territory, originally a concubine of Zhou Yuanliang there.

In the past, whenever a Superior Spiritual Root Talent cultivator appeared in the family, Zhou Chun would definitely be very pleased.

But this time, upon hearing of the matter, he simply asked a few casual questions and paid it no mind.

Because given the current scale of Zhou Family cultivators, the appearance of a Superior Spiritual Root Talent child is no longer anything surprising.

Additionally, Zhou Chun’s perspective has now elevated; nowadays, nearly eighty percent of the Golden Core Stage cultivators engaging with him possess Superior Spiritual Root Aptitude, so it no longer amazes him.

Unless one day the Zhou Family produces a legendary Top-Grade Spiritual Root Aptitude cultivator, only then would he treasure them like a gem.

Such a talent guarantees at least a Golden Core Stage cultivator.

What Zhou Zhengyong mentioned later caught some of Zhou Chun’s attention.
