Lin Hongyu is the nominally first Jindan monk of the Zhou family. Although she usually does not do anything in the Zhou family, she has accumulated prestige over hundreds of years and has a pivotal position in the Zhou family's circle of monks.

Xu Fu, who is voting now, was still a junior who was slowly tempered under her hands.

What's more, she is also the Taoist companion of Zhou Daoyi, the supreme elder of the family.

So when she voted for Zhou Zhigan, things became a little tricky.

Just like Zhou Zhiying was influenced by his father Xu Fu and voted for Zhou Zhixiong just now.

Who can guarantee that Zhou Daoyi will not be influenced by Lin Hongyu and make the same choice as his fellow Taoist?

At this time, the core tribesmen below who were attending the meeting but did not have the right to vote couldn't help but look at Zhou Daoyi, including Zhou Xinyan who had not yet voted.

You must know that according to the rules, the Supreme Elder has five votes per person!

Therefore, whoever Zhou Daoyi chooses will be eligible to redeem the elixir-forming spiritual items.

"What about you, Xinyan? Which one of them do you think more highly of?"

Zhou Daoyi didn't seem to know that he had the final decision-making power. He just looked at Zhou Xinyan calmly and asked for his opinion.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Xinyan suddenly showed a look of hesitation on his face.

He actually had a plan for a long time, but the current situation forced him to think more.

Because firstly he couldn't figure out Zhou Daoyi's thoughts, and secondly he was more concerned about Zhou Zhiying's other background.

But at this time, facing the attention of many tribesmen, he could not wait long to make a decision.

Finally, after carefully weighing it in his mind, he looked at Zhou Daoyi and said, "I also vote for Zhigan, and I am more optimistic about his success rate in forming pills!"

Such a slippery man!

After hearing Zhou Xinyan's words, many of the core tribe members below secretly scolded him for being too smooth.

But now it was two votes to two, and the final choice still fell to Zhou Daoyi.

Everyone's eyes could only continue to turn back to him.

Zhou Daoyi seemed to have been prepared for it, and he quickly nodded and said: "Since it is two votes to two votes, then this decision will be made by me."

After speaking, he turned his attention to Zhou Zhixiong and said: "I am also more optimistic about Zhixiong's talent for making talismans. I hope he can successfully form pills and make more and better talismans for the family in the future!"

After the words fell, Zhou Zhixiong was immediately overjoyed. He stood up excitedly and bowed to him and said: "Thank you for your respect, the elder. I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

On the other hand, Zhou Zhiqian, after his expression changed for a while, quickly calmed down again and seemed to have accepted the result.

Seeing this, Zhou Daoyi nodded secretly, and immediately said to him: "Zhiqian, although you failed this time, you don't have to be too depressed. After all, with your longevity, you can continue to wait for the next application!"

"Yes, this junior understands."

Zhou Zhiqian lowered his head slightly and replied respectfully.

But in fact, I didn't take Zhou Daoyi's words seriously.

In another thirty years, he will be over 400 years old. Even if he obtains an elixir-forming spiritual object at that time, the success rate of elixir-forming will be affected.

With his temperament, he obviously didn't want to wait any longer.

After the results came out, this week's first alchemy spiritual object distribution meeting after the reform of the Zhou family came to an end.

Zhou Zhixiong, who was qualified to redeem the elixir-bound spiritual items, went around looking for people to borrow good deeds from and prepared to exchange them for the elixir-bound spiritual items.

With his excellent skills in making talismans, he has actually accumulated a lot of good deeds in his family over hundreds of years.

It's just that before, whether it was the foundation-building pills, or the spiritual objects that assisted in opening up the Zifu, as well as some pills and spiritual objects that assisted in cultivation, he had spent a lot of good deeds.

And his goal is to exchange for a complete set of elixir-forming spiritual objects.

Therefore, relying solely on your own accumulated good deeds is definitely not enough.

At the same time, because of his excellent skills in making talismans, the core members of the family who have a lot of good deeds and even family elders such as Xu Fu have a good relationship with him. At this time, they are naturally willing to lend him some good deeds.

In fact, Zhou Zhiqian's failure in competing with him this time may not have nothing to do with this aspect.

After all, although Zhou Zhiqian seems to have better qualifications, the problem is that he has not been in the family for decades, and his relationship with other tribesmen is not very good. He also lacks the opportunity to fight side by side with other tribesmen to resist the beast tide.

Therefore, when he competes with Zhou Zhixiong, a talented charm maker, more people will be willing to support him.

In fact, when he went to see Zhou Xinyan before the meeting, although Zhou Xinyan did not clearly express his support for him, she was generally more optimistic about him.

Zhou Zhiqian himself probably understood this situation now, so after the results came out, he quickly chose to accept his fate.

After Zhou Chun learned about the voting results, he did not make any statement on it. He just asked his apprentice Zhou Zhiying to send Zhou Zhiqian a fourth-level low-grade defensive talisman and 300,000 spiritual coins, saying that he was personally against him for Zhou Zhiqian. A reward for establishing a discipline of swordsmanship.

Zhou Zhiqian is also a smart man. After receiving the things and words handed over by Zhou Zhiying, he understood what Zhou Chun meant.

So after thanking Zhou Chun, he exchanged his family's good deeds into various strength-enhancing spiritual objects, then said goodbye to Zhou Daoyi and left the family.

Since his popularity within the family is not as good as Zhou Zhixiong's, and his contribution is not as great as that of Zhou Zhixiong, he can only use his own method to look for opportunities to form pills outside.

This kind of thing where all things can be obtained with only the sword in hand is more in line with the practice of sword cultivator!

On this day, Zhou Chun was practicing the "Golden Light of Luo Bao" magical power in the cave, and suddenly received a message from Zhou Daoyi.

After reading the message, he continued to practice his magical power for a while without any hurry. It was not until he successfully used this magical power to knock down the third-level high-grade magic weapon of Taoist companion Su Yuzhen that he sent a message with his spiritual consciousness to invite Zhou Daoyi to come to the cave. Narrative.

When Su Yuzhen saw that his magic weapon was knocked down, he lost contact with him directly. He couldn't help but compliment the Taoist monk: "My husband's magical power is progressing very fast. I think he will be able to knock down the magic weapon soon. Then I will be able to knock down the magic weapon."

Live up to his reputation as a treasure!"

But after hearing this, Zhou Chun shook his head slightly and sighed: "It's still far from enough. The opponents I will face in the future will have the most powerful magic weapon in their hands. If this magical power wants to defeat such a level treasure,

I’m afraid it will take hundreds of years of hard work to achieve it!”

Under the high roof of the Nascent Soul Stage monks, the speed of cultivating magical powers is naturally much faster than that of ordinary monks.

For example, he did not even practice the "Golden Light of Falling Treasures" magical power every day, but he practiced it in ten or twenty years to the point where he could knock down third-level high-grade magic weapons.

But any magical power becomes more and more difficult to practice as time goes by.

Although this "Golden Light of Fallen Treasure" magical power has great potential, in theory it is possible to defeat even the Heavenly Spiritual Treasure.

But in fact, the difficulty of practicing later is even greater than the "Golden Escape Technique".

To achieve the level of knocking down the best magic weapon, it requires hundreds of years of hard work, and it also requires cultivation at the Nascent Soul stage as a prerequisite.

But even so, Zhou Chun still had to keep practicing.

Because this magical power is indeed of great use, not to mention that he can also increase the power of this magical power through his natal magical power [Qiongqi Meng].

The same goes for the [Phaseless Geng-Gold Divine Light] magical power, which has now almost become Zhou Chun's most valued magical power.

The last time he fought against Master Xuanzhen, the power displayed by this magical power made him very satisfied, and he was also looking forward to the power of this magical power after it was fully developed.

More importantly, this [Shadowless Geng Golden Divine Light] can also speed up the progress of cultivation through some external objects.

For example, by decomposing, absorbing and refining top-level spiritual materials such as [Geng Gold] with divine light, you can speed up the progress of this magical power.

Zhou Chun plans to focus on collecting top-level spiritual materials such as [Geng Gold] when participating in some exchange meetings in the future.

Soon after, Zhou Daoyi, who had received his message invitation, came to the cave, but Su Yuzhen left after serving tea to the two of them, not wanting to interfere with the Zhou family's family affairs.

"The matter has been investigated clearly. The disappearance and death of Zhou Baisheng's parents that year was an intentional fraud. In fact, both of them were taken to a monastery under the Yuelun Sect for training."

"And Zhou Baisheng still has his own concubines and children there, and they have all become disciples of the Moon Lun Sect."

"It can be deduced from this that Zhou Baisheng's success in building the foundation that year should be due to the resource support of the Yuelun Sect. He himself has long been corrupted by the Yuelun Sect and has become a family traitor!"

After Zhou Daoyi took a sip of tea, he spoke in a low voice about the results of the two years of investigation.

With the Zhou family's current power and resources, it's a good thing that no irregularities were discovered before.

After knowing that Zhou Baisheng is a traitor, it will not be difficult to find out the reason for his betrayal by looking through the family files, investigating his past travel records and contacts, and mobilizing intelligence personnel from all parties to collect information.

It's just that this consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, and it can't be done for every clan member.

In addition, if every clan member is really investigated in this way, it will easily cause panic among the people inside.

After all, immortal cultivators attach great importance to privacy, and even though many Zhou family cultivators are well-behaved within the family, no one knows if they have committed any crimes outside.

If it is found out by then, whether to deal with it or not is another complicated issue!

After Zhou Chun listened to Zhou Daoyi's words, he just nodded slightly and said: "The aura on Zhou Baisheng's body that day gave me a sense of familiarity. I guessed it was the spirit of Master Yinyue. Now it seems that things are different.

Sure enough, it’s the Lunar Sect that’s up to something!”

"Including the people who were interrogated before, there are already five spies planted by the Moon Wheel Sect in my Zhou family. These are just the ones we discovered. There are probably others we haven't discovered yet."

When Zhou Daoyi said this, a trace of anger emerged in his eyes.

Although it is very normal for various forces to plant spies into other forces in the country.

But as the Zhou family is a cultivating family, it is undoubtedly very annoying for the clan members to be bribed to betray the family like this.

Zhou Chun naturally noticed the anger in the elder's eyes. After thinking about it, he said: "Let's do this. Send an official letter to the Yuelun Sect in my name and ask them why they want to destroy the relationship between the two forces.

Let’s see how they respond first.”

"Didn't the people from the Yanyang Sect also discover a few of them? Let's send an official letter to question them."

Having said this, he said with a little helplessness: "Although it is indeed a bit painless to do so, under the current circumstances, the family is really not suitable for blind expansion. It is better to wait for a hundred or two hundred years until the number and quality of the family have increased."

After you meet your expansion needs, start trouble with them again and let them cut your flesh!"
