In the water mansion, there were spiritual clams one after another. The clams opened their mouths, and the dazzling crystal beads appeared in the eyes of the three people of the Zhou family.

The aqua blue pearl, as big as a fist, exudes rich water spiritual power and gleaming blue light.

A green pearl that is about the size of a chicken but is green in color and contains the power of vitality.

There is also blood red all over the body, like blood red pearls formed after blood coagulation.

Various kinds of spiritual beads that they had heard of or never heard of appeared in the sight of the three people of the Zhou family one after another, making them dizzy and dazzled.

It seems that every kind of spirit bead has special qualities and they want them all.

But the opportunity to choose ten treasures made it impossible for them to choose them all.

They must make a choice among a limited number of choices.

After hesitating for a long time while looking at the spirit beads, the three of them began to choose the spirit beads they liked.

In this way, the three Zhou family members stayed in Lu Ran's treasure room for two or three hours before reluctantly walking out of the treasure room with their respective harvests.

When they arrived at the living room outside, the three Zhou family members sat down and rested for a while before taking their minds away from the various treasures in the treasure room.

Then Zhou Mingde looked at Lu Ran with piercing eyes and said: "Friend Lu Dao, do you or the Scaled Frog alien tribe need anything? Maybe we can establish trade relations in the future, and our Zhou family will collect the cultivation resources you need for you.

Use these water treasures that are special products of Longyuanze to exchange with us!"

After hearing what he said, Lu Ran pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "If you want to talk about what you need, there must be something. Lu himself wants spiritual wine, spiritual tea and other things to satisfy his appetite. Those scaled frogs

The foreign races also have a strong demand for elixirs and weapons."

He is living one day at a time now, and he has no illusions about being able to advance to the fourth level in the future.

So enjoying life has become his pleasure.

But with his current appearance, it is obvious that he cannot go to the human world to enjoy life, let alone go to the human world to cultivate immortals.

If you want to enjoy the spiritual wine, spiritual tea and other items brewed and concocted by the immortal cultivators, you can only obtain them through trading.

The Zhou family's request for mutual trade at this time was exactly what he wanted.

After listening to his words, the three Zhou family members couldn't help but look at each other and chatted secretly.

In the end, it was Zhou Mingde who nodded and said: "No problem, if Fellow Daoist Lu likes to drink wine and tea, our Zhou family custodian will help Fellow Daoist buy all kinds of spiritual wines and spiritual teas available in the Jingguo market for Fellow Daoist Taoist to taste.

, even some spiritual wine and spiritual tea that are not easily available for takeout, our Zhou family can also find a way to get some for fellow Daoist Lu!"

"As for weapons and elixirs, these are not a big problem. As long as they are not precious items, there is no problem in large quantities!"

The scaled frog aliens are too weak to grow enough to pose a threat to the human race.

Providing them with some weapons and elixirs in exchange for various water treasures collected by them is completely profitable.

So at this time, the three people of the Zhou family don't have to consider whether doing this will endanger them.

"Then there is no problem. As long as a few fellow Taoists can continue to provide these things that Lu wants, I dare not say that the rare water treasures like those selected by the three fellow Taoists today are ordinary water treasures. Lu's here is still

It can be supplied to several people in batches stably!”

Lu Ran nodded and made a promise on the spot.

After reaching the agreement, the three Zhou family members did not stay in his water residence any longer and left quickly.

However, after leaving Lu Ran's water mansion this time, the three Zhou family members were in no rush to return to their family.

It has been less than ten days since they arrived in the wilderness from the Zhou family. If they go back so soon, they will inevitably arouse suspicion.

Therefore, the three of them planned to take this opportunity to inspect the wilderness near the underground river outlet, looking for a suitable place to establish a pioneer base.

At this time, from Lu Ran, Zhou Chun and the others had obtained the Hualong Sect's rough exploration map of the wilderness.

Therefore, we also know that the Hualong Cult branch altar closest to this area is the Blood Dragon Branch Altar, and its branch altar is located about two to three thousand miles away from the underground river outlet.

This distance is not very far, but it is not close either.

With the Hualong Sect's main attention now focused on other places, and considering the fierce offensive that the various factions of the Jing Kingdom may launch against the Hualong Sect in the future, as long as the chosen place is more remote and secluded, there should not be any major problems.

After searching in the wilderness for seven or eight days, the three of them finally spotted a place.

It was a small valley surrounded by mountains, a very small valley.

A roughly triangular valley with less than a hundred acres of space.

If such a small amount of space is used as the mountain gate of a certain family, it will definitely not be enough.

But if it is only used to build a supply base, it is completely enough.

Moreover, this place is very satisfying to the Zhou family, both in terms of geographical location and concealment.

It is less than 700 miles away from the underground river outlet in Longyuan Ze. Although it is surrounded by mountains, they are not high mountains and dangerous peaks, just the kind of mountains one or two hundred feet high. There are such mountains everywhere in the wilderness.

Plant mountains.

Moreover, within three to four hundred miles around, there are no particularly powerful monsters, nor are there any mountains or rivers.

Such a terrain environment makes it basically unnoticed by high-level monks, and even some foundation-building monks don't have much interest in exploring this kind of place.

However, there is a spiritual vein in the mountain range where it is located, and the main vein of the spiritual vein, the spiritual acupoint, is located in the valley.

In this way, it is the best choice for establishing a stronghold.

What's more, according to Zhou Daoyi's survey, who is familiar with some formation techniques, the environment around the valley should be extremely suitable for setting up formations.

If a superior formation could be deployed to connect the valley with the surrounding mountains, the valley, which is less than a hundred acres in size, could be completely hidden.

Unless some immortal cultivators happen to break into the valley, otherwise ordinary foundation-building cultivators flying over the valley may not be able to discover the valley below.

"I think this place will be called Longxing Valley from now on. It will become the place where my Zhou family's Longxing develops!"

In the valley, Zhou Mingde looked at this small valley, but the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became. His eyes were full of pride and ambition and he named the valley on the spot.

Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoyi naturally had no objection to the name he chose.

But there is a problem that cannot be avoided.

Zhou Daoyi said slowly: "The second elder is already very old. If we want to set up a formation in Longxing Valley, we must ask him to come over quickly to survey the terrain and formulate a formation plan. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it in time."

After hearing his words, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun both felt a little heavy for a while.

That's right, Zhou Chongshan, the second elder of the Zhou family, is approaching the end of his life!

He has lived for almost two hundred and thirty years now. Even if he can live to the age of two hundred and forty as a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage, he will only have more than ten years to live.

And the closer the deadline is, the worse his condition will be.

"We will do this after we return home. Zhengchun will take charge of the family affairs at that time. Daoyi, you and Chongshan will come here to survey the terrain and formulate a formation plan!"

After Zhou Mingde was silent for a while, he spoke directly and made a decision.

So the three of them wrote down the location of Longxing Valley and returned to the family together.

When the three members of the Zhou family returned to the Jiufengling Family Mountain Gate together, both the Zhou family elders and Liu Shiyun, who came to the Zhou family to take charge of the family in place of Master Mingxia, all breathed a sigh of relief and were sincerely happy for this.

"Thank God, Fellow Daoist Zhou, you are finally back safely!"

On the Pagoda Peak, looking at Zhou Chun who had returned in high spirits, Liu Shiyun also smiled with joy.

She had successfully established the foundation at this time, so the veil she had worn on her face for a long time was now taken off.

And the face behind the veil is indeed very beautiful.

With a natural melon-seed face, eyebrows with willow leaves, and decorated with gold hairpins and jade rings, she is like a fairy in a painting, full of fairy spirit, beautiful and moving.

This was the first time that Zhou Chun saw her true appearance. At that time, he couldn't help but express his feelings and praised: "Hibiscus comes out of clear water, which naturally removes the decay. When I saw Miss Liu's true face today, Zhou knew this."

You really mean it!"

Hearing his words, Liu Shiyun immediately blushed. She quickly turned her head slightly and said modestly: "Fellow Taoist Zhou, you are so grateful. How can my little girl Puliu deserve such a good reputation from fellow Taoist Taoist!"

Seeing this, Zhou Chun couldn't help but laugh and said: "Hahaha, Zhou just expressed his feelings. If Ms. Liu finds it offensive, Zhou will apologize to the girl here."

After saying that, he bowed his hands towards him.

Seeing him like this, Liu Shiyun felt relieved but also a little disappointed.

This was the first time that she showed her true face in front of Zhou Chun, and Zhou Chun's amazing reaction really made her very happy.

But Zhou Chun's current behavior made her feel like she was thinking too much.

Although Zhou Chun admired her beauty, it seemed that she didn't have any more ideas.

This made her feel a little disappointed.

There is no doubt that my mother has a great affection for Zhou Chun in her heart.

Not only because Zhou Chun saved her and her father's lives, but also because of Zhou Chun's good demeanor in front of her, as well as Zhou Chun's own extremely excellent strength, wisdom, courage, and status.

If she had to say that Zhou Chun had any shortcomings in her eyes, it would be that he was too family-oriented and cared too much about his family.

But this shortcoming does not seem to be a shortcoming, but may become another advantage.

But now she could see that Zhou Chun didn't have any thoughts about her in that regard, he just regarded her as a friend.

And she is also a proud and arrogant person. In addition, her status and cultivation are not bad now. Even if she has a good impression in her heart, there is no reason to stick to her.

So after she felt a little disappointed, she said softly: "Fellow Daoist Zhou said something harsh, I didn't mean it that way."
