Chapter 1304: Chapter 538: Spirit Eye Spring [Request Subscription]_3
Under the intense desire of Nascent Soul Stage cultivators for Spirit Eye items, even if Golden Core Stage cultivators obtain such spiritual objects, they often choose to exchange them with Nascent Soul Stage cultivators for items more useful to themselves.
After all, a Spirit Eye item for a Golden Core Stage cultivator can at most increase their meditation and cultivation speed by ten to twenty percent, while Nascent Soul Stage cultivators would exchange for this item with at least a middle-grade magical treasure, or elixirs that improve the mana and cultivation level of Golden Core Stage cultivators.
Moreover, there’s no wall that doesn’t let wind through; if a Golden Core Stage cultivator obtains a Spirit Eye item and uses it secretly without being discovered, that’s fine. But once the news leaks out, a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator is bound to come knocking.
Meeting someone reasonable is one thing, as they might be willing to exchange at a fair price.
Meeting someone unreasonable, however, could truly spell disaster!
Zhou Chun temporarily hasn’t figured out how to deal with this Spirit Eye Spring, but the primary task is certainly to take it away.
The minimum cultivation level requirement to collect the Spirit Eye Spring is the Golden Core Stage.
Zhou Chun currently meets this requirement.
However, besides needing Golden Core Stage cultivation, one also requires the appropriate secret technique to collect the Spirit Eye Spring.
Zhou Chun recalled that the Zhou Family also possesses such a secret technique, which they acquired not long ago from the secret vault of the "East Sun Sect."
However, he didn’t document the cultivation method for this secret technique, so he would likely have to return to the Zhou Family to retrieve it and spend some time to practice and familiarize himself with it.
This means he currently doesn’t have the ability to take the Spirit Eye Spring away!
"This is really a bit troublesome. I hope nothing goes wrong during this period!"
Zhou Chun glanced at the Spirit Eye Spring beneath him and quickly made a decision in his heart.
He raised his hand and patted the Spirit Beast Pouch at his waist, releasing the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer Stone and the Golden Winged Tiger, instructing them to guard the Spirit Eye Spring here temporarily.
Then Zhou Chun hurried back to Tianyuan Immortal City.
After returning to the Immortal City, Zhou Chun went to visit Lin Hongyu, asking her to make a trip to the Zhou Family to fetch the secret technique for taking the Spirit Eye Spring, and then he hurried back to the Spirit Eye Spring location.
This round trip only took Zhou Chun less than two days, and the Spirit Eye Spring was all normal upon his return.
Thereafter, Zhou Chun took charge of the Spirit Eye Spring site, waiting for Lin Hongyu’s return.
Unexpectedly, after only three days of waiting, trouble arrived.
This day, while Zhou Chun was deep in meditation within a cave, he suddenly sensed several powerful auras emanating from outside the ravine.
His mind stirred, and he immediately used the "Insect Puppet Technique" to send out a Demon Insect to survey the situation.
Outside the ravine, a Golden Core Early Phase cultivator brought three Purple Mansion Phase cultivators directly to this place.
Seeing this scenario, Zhou Chun immediately thought this was bad news.
He didn’t know if these people had heard about the Spirit Eye Spring here or if they came for the Silver Lightning Leopard.
In any case, the situation was very unfavorable.
But time didn’t allow Zhou Chun much consideration; he quickly released his own aura and proceeded toward the cave’s entrance.
Hmm?
Outside the ravine, a middle-aged man with fiery red hair and a ruddy complexion suddenly squinted his eyes, promptly signaling the three Purple Mansion Phase cultivators behind him to stop.
Then he saw Zhou Chun, wearing a light golden robe, flying out from the ravine.
Finding a Golden Core Stage cultivator flying out from what should have been the Silver Lightning Leopard’s lair, the few Purple Mansion Phase cultivators behind the middle-aged man were all taken aback, especially one Purple Mansion Late Stage cultivator who was filled with a look of surprise and doubt.
However, the middle-aged man remained very calm. After examining Zhou Chun for a moment, he looked at him and said in a deep voice, "I am Wei Yiping, an elder of the Sunset Sect. May I know your name?"
"Zhang Liang, from Tianyuan Immortal City."
Zhou Chun replied calmly.
Then he looked at the middle-aged man, Wei Yiping, and said, "Taoist Friend Wei must have come for the Silver Lightning Leopard. If that’s the case, you’re a bit late; that beast has already perished under my sword!"
Hearing this, Wei Yiping first furrowed his brows, then nodded and said, "I see. In that case, I must thank Taoist Friend Zhang for avenging my disciple."
After finishing, he seemed to casually add, "But since Taoist Friend Zhang has already slain that beast, why are you still lingering here?"
Zhou Chun’s eyes immediately narrowed.
He then answered calmly, "That doesn’t seem to concern Taoist Friend Wei, does it?"
Upon hearing these words, Wei Yiping gazed deeply at him and then faintly smiled, "Indeed, it doesn’t. In that case, I won’t disturb Taoist Friend Zhang any longer. Farewell!"
With that, he turned and left with his juniors.
As Zhou Chun watched their departing figures, his expression slowly turned grim.
He had heard of the Sunset Sect, a sect within the Great Zhou Kingdom similar to the Commanding Spirit Sect, a medium-sized sect without a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator but still had Golden Core Late Stage cultivators.
The crucial part is that this sect’s mountain gate is not far from Cloudview Ridge, roughly five to six thousand miles away.
Though Wei Yiping has retreated for now, Zhou Chun knew in his heart that the other party simply didn’t understand his background and was not confident enough to handle him alone.
Once he returns to the Sunset Sect, he will surely call the fellow Golden Core Stage cultivators to come and forcibly investigate the Silver Lightning Leopard’s lair.
After all, it’s clear to anyone that anything capable of making a Golden Core Stage cultivator stake out this Demon Beast-infested ridge is certainly no ordinary object!
