Wilderness place.

Above the vast mountains, a red fire suddenly fell from the sky and fell to the ground, as if a meteorite had fallen from the sky.

But what is surprising is that after the firelight fell into the mountain, there was no sound, as if everything just now was a mirage.

However, if a knowledgeable immortal cultivator were here, they would not be surprised or confused.

They will soon realize that the crimson fire falling from the sky is not a mirage, but the escaping light of a high-level monk.

This is the fact.

In the mountain forest, where the firelight fell, a beautiful woman in red was sitting cross-legged with a piece of spiritual crystal in her hand, seizing the time to absorb the spiritual power inside and refine it into mana.

This beautiful woman in red is none other than Lin Hongyu, who had previously lured away the black dragon.

At this time, Lin Hongyu's condition was undoubtedly very poor.

Her face was as pale as gold paper, there were blood stains on her clothes and at the corners of her mouth, her hair was messy and shapeless, and she looked like her vitality was severely damaged.

The strength of the fourth-level mid-grade black dragon is indeed not comparable to that of a monk like her who has just made elixirs for more than ten years. Even if she refines a powerful natal magic weapon, she is still no match for such heaven and earth spiritual beasts.

Before, if she hadn't used her natal essence and blood at all costs to activate the natal magic weapon to exert its 120% power, she might not have even had the chance to use escape techniques to escape.

And even if she successfully escaped the black dragon's pursuit, her own vitality was severely depleted, and her mana was less than 10%.

At this time, after meditating on the spot for a while, she looked at the spiritual crystal in her hand that was severely depleted of spiritual power, and couldn't help but murmur to herself: "Fortunately, I have this spiritual crystal in my hand, otherwise in my current state, it would be really bad."

Stay in this wild place!”

"But after holding on to the black dragon for three quarters of an hour, including the time it takes for the black dragon to return to its lair, Masazumi and the others should have succeeded!"

"After this incident, I have finally repaid most of the favor I owed him!"

Thinking of this, Lin Hongyu also breathed a sigh of relief.

Since ancient times, the most difficult thing to repay is a debt of gratitude. Zhou Chun was a favor to help her when she was making elixirs and refining her natal magic weapon.

Although she fulfilled her promise and joined the Zhou family after forming the pill, and secretly protected the Zhou family, this alone was obviously not enough to repay the favor.

After all, joining the Zhou family is in itself a reward for the Zhou family's efforts in helping her form a pill, and it is also a mutual benefit.

But Zhou Chun's help in forming elixirs and refining her natal magic weapon was an act of personal contribution.

She had to do something important for Zhou Chun personally to repay the favor.

Helping Zhou Chun capture the Millennium Dragon Transformation Grass this time is a way of repaying a favor.

If it weren't for the hard-earned favor, she wouldn't have fought a fourth-level mid-level black dragon in a dangerous place like Long Yuanze after forming a pill for more than ten years.

After taking a short rest, Lin Hongyu figured out the direction and rushed towards the Caiyu Mountain stronghold.

On the other side, after losing pursuit of Lin Hongyu, the black dragon just vented its anger by causing wind and rain over the wilderness, and then quickly returned to its lair.

Just when it returned to its nest, it discovered that its nest had been stolen.

This made him extremely angry.

Fortunately, after inspection, he found that except for the three thousand-year-old dragon grass, which was considered a rare item, his other treasures and favorites were not lost, so he calmed down a little.

But it still closed its eyes and tried to sense the thief's whereabouts.

But after some induction, nothing was found.

Those lost items are not like things that have fallen off of its body, such as dragon scales and dragon teeth, which have some blood connection with it, nor are they marked by it like those particularly precious treasures.

Things like the Millennium Dragon Transformation Grass are just spiritual objects that have been mutated by the breath of the dragon, and have nothing to do with the black dragon itself.

If it is relatively close and not shielded by anything, it may be able to sense some of it.

But since it can't sense it now, it means that the thief has either gone away or used some means to shield and isolate these things.

In this case, it didn't bother to leave the cave to chase after it.

Just because the dragon's nest was stolen, it certainly can't be treated as if nothing happened.

Therefore, the black dragon quickly bit the third-level high-grade dragon-scale black fish to death in one bite and swallowed its demon elixir and flesh, which served as a warning to the other two demonic beasts.

But for the cruel and ruthless behavior of the black dragon, a turtle, a python and two third-level mid-level monsters seemed to be commonplace, and other than begging for mercy, they did not react much.

Not long after, another third-level fish demon with dragon blood entered the dragon's nest and became the black dragon's new slave.

Zhou Chun and Zhou Mingde, who had already escaped, naturally did not know what happened after the black dragon returned.

The theft of the Millennium Dragon Transformation Grass this time was undoubtedly very smooth and successful.

Not counting Lin Hongyu's contribution, the two of them just consumed a lot of the power of the talisman.

Compared with this loss, the gain is astonishing.

After the two of them returned to the Caiyu Mountain stronghold, they couldn't help but smile happily when they looked at each other.

In this operation, Zhou Chun undoubtedly achieved the greatest harvest.

He got three thousand-year-old dragon-changing grass, and the piece of black ore he took away was also the magic material "Black Abyss Heavy Iron" that can be used to refine magic weapons. The remaining turtle shells and horns were also third-level high-grade monsters.

It is the most valuable spiritual material on the beast and is in very good condition.

Although Zhou Mingde did not enter the depths of the dragon's lair, during the fierce battle with the third-order high-grade monster, he also collected some dragon blood stones and dragon blood grass from the lair.

of top-quality spiritual things.

At the same time, when the two left the dragon's nest, the total number of Hualong grass they collected was thirty-two, including one six hundred-year-old Hualong grass, four five-hundred-year-old Hualong grass, and four hundred-year-old Hualong grass.

There are ten wormwood plants, and 17 wormwood plants that are 300 years old.

Compared to their losses, this gain is undoubtedly huge!

After counting the harvest, Zhou Chun immediately picked out the magical material "Black Abyss Heavy Iron" and sent it to Lin Hongyu and said: "Senior Lin, this piece of 'Black Abyss Heavy Iron' is not used by juniors and others.

You’d better keep it!”

"No need, I don't have any use for this thing, and I have already benefited from this operation in advance, so I can't be greedy!"

Lin Hongyu waved her hand and rejected Zhou Chun's kindness.

Then she glanced at the three monks of the Zhou family's Purple Palace period and said softly: "I have lost a lot of energy this time. I am afraid I will have to stay in seclusion for a while to recover. If there is nothing major, please don't disturb me to recuperate.

.”

After hearing her words, Zhou Mingde immediately responded: "This is natural. Friends Daoist Lin, just rest assured and recover. If you need anything, you can ask at any time. Our Zhou family will do our best to satisfy you."

"Senior Lin has suffered because of the junior's affairs!"

Zhou Chun also expressed his gratitude with a grateful look on his face.

After Lin Hongyu finished her explanation, she went back to the cave to retreat and recuperate. Only the three Purple Palace monks from the Zhou family were left to discuss the disposal of a bunch of harvested spiritual objects.

Zhou Mingde was the first to speak: "There are now three Thousand-year-old Dragon Transforming Grass. Whether it is refined into a 'Dragon Transforming Pill' or taken directly, it is only useful for the first time. What are your plans, Zhengchun?"

Zhou Chun had obviously thought about this matter for a long time. After hearing this, he immediately replied: "This junior is going to find someone to refine the 'Hualong Pill' and give it to Bai Bai. If there is any left, I will give the blood to the third elder."

Keep the Flame Dragon Python!"

"Well, this is indeed the best way to deal with it, but who are you going to find to refine it into 'Dragon Transforming Grass'? We have only heard of the name of this elixir, but we don't know who has the elixir, let alone

I don’t know who can refine it!”

Zhou Mingde nodded first, and then quickly raised a new question.

"This junior has also considered that the 'Hualong Pill' must not be refined by someone in Jingguo, otherwise the news may be leaked. In that case, if the Qinglian Temple finds out, it will be difficult for us to explain the origin of the thousand-year-old Dragon Hualan Grass.

If you do, you will be even more afraid of it!"

"So this junior is going to travel to the Great Zhou Kingdom for a period of time, looking for an alchemist who can refine the 'Huanglong Dan', and then let Bai Bai transform the dragon over there. By the way, he will also look for a magic weapon like the Yellow Dragon Stone."

Spiritual material."

Zhou Chun expressed his plan with a calm face, as if he had been prepared for it.

"Are you going to travel to the Great Zhou Kingdom?"

Zhou Mingde was slightly stunned and couldn't help but frowned.

Naturally, he didn't want Zhou Chun to travel abroad for a long time. After all, that would definitely hinder Zhou Chun's improvement in cultivation, and it would be difficult to guarantee his personal safety.

But he also understood Zhou Chun's character. Once he made a decision so early, it would be difficult to persuade him to go back.

Sure enough, when Zhou Chun saw him frowning, he immediately said: "Junior knows how much you love and value me, and you have always wanted me to stay in the family in peace and practice to improve my cultivation. However, my cultivation has reached this level.

It’s not a problem to practice hard in a closed door, and if you practice step by step like this, you don’t know how much time it will take until you reach the later stage of Zifu!”

"The Great Zhou Kingdom is the center of the surrounding world of cultivating immortals. There are many opportunities there, and there are countless kinds of elixirs and spiritual objects that can improve your magic power. If you can gain something there, it will be better than decades of normal meditation practice."

"And normally, in the later stages of foundation building, monks will go out to travel to the world of immortality to expand their knowledge. I, the junior, are very lucky to be traveling now."

"Besides, now that the chaos in Jingguo has ended, nothing major will happen in the next ten years. I, the younger generation, are traveling abroad at this time, so I don't have to worry too much about the family's affairs!"

Hearing this, Zhou Mingde didn't know that he had already planned it.

At the moment, he just sighed helplessly: "What about the enemies you made in the Great Zhou Kingdom? If that person discovers your existence, will you still have the same good luck as before?"

"This junior has naturally considered it, but this junior's current strength has improved a lot compared to before. If we encounter him again, even if we lose, we will not be as embarrassed as before."

"And the junior will definitely change his appearance and will no longer walk in his true self. The Zhou Dynasty is so big, it will not be easy for him to find the junior. He may even have forgotten the incident!"
