Chapter 40 Parents, Snake Egg Hatching [Please read on!]

Time flies, and three months have passed since Zhou Chun returned from the Wang family in Red Medicine Valley.

During these three months, the Zhou family was indeed in turmoil because Zhou Zhengkang was designated as the foundation-building seed of the Zhou family.

However, after the commotion subsided, everything returned to normal, and the outcome of the matter remained unchanged.

Although Zhou Chun had another chance to choose a secret technique to cultivate, he had not yet successfully cultivated the first two secret techniques, so he naturally did not have time to choose a new one to cultivate.

His cultivation level improved rapidly after he started taking the Jade Ginseng Pill.

The two bottles of [Jade Ginseng Pills] contain a total of ten pills. Zhou Chun takes one pill every fifty days, and each time he takes it, he can open up an acupoint.

Based on this situation, these two bottles of Jade Ginseng Pills would be enough to push his cultivation level to the ninth level of the Qi Refining stage, which is the late stage of Qi Refining.

As his own cultivation steadily improved, Zhou Chun did not neglect the Rock Turtle spirit pet that had made great contributions to him.

He used some of his family's good deeds to exchange for three more bottles of [Beast Spirit Pills] from Hundred Medicine Peak, intending to use these pills to cultivate the Rock Turtle into a first-tier high-grade demon beast.

On this day, Zhou Chun was diligently cultivating the secret technique of the Five Elements Spirit Armor in his quiet room when he suddenly sensed that the array outside his residence had been activated, indicating that someone had come to visit.

After he finished his practice and stepped out of the meditation room, he opened the courtyard gate and immediately saw a middle-aged couple dressed in silk and brocade, as well as Zhou Zhengyong, who had brought them there.

Just as Zhou Chun was looking at the middle-aged couple who had no magical aura at all, feeling that the two were somewhat familiar and kind, but for a moment he couldn't remember their names or origins.

Seeing him standing still, Zhou Zhengyong couldn't help but give him a push, saying, "Thirteenth Brother, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and invite your uncle and aunt inside. They've come all this way to see you and have suffered a lot!"

boom!

Upon hearing Zhou Zhengyong's words, Zhou Chun's mind was instantly flooded with memories, and she immediately recalled the information about the middle-aged couple in front of her.

Then his expression changed, and he quickly stepped forward, grabbed the hem of their clothes, knelt down, and cried out, "Father, Mother, your son is unfilial, causing you both suffering!"

Upon hearing his words, the couple, who had been staring blankly at him since they first saw him, immediately bent down and hugged his head tightly, bursting into tears of joy.

"My son!!!"

It turned out that the middle-aged couple were Zhou Chun's parents.

These two men were originally wealthy men living a carefree life in an ordinary city in Feng Kingdom.

More than a year ago, after the Zhou family established a foothold in Jiufengling, Lanzhou, Jingguo, they began to arrange for cultivators to return to Fengguo to relocate their mortal clansmen. As direct blood relatives of the Zhou family cultivators, the two of them were also given priority in the relocation.

The two elders missed their son, and after migrating to a settlement near Jiufengling, they were eager to travel over mountains and rivers to visit Zhou Chun.

After understanding the situation, Zhou Chun was deeply moved and tightly grasped the hands of his parents, saying, "Father, Mother, you've worked so hard. From now on, please stay on the mountain and let your son take care of you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou's father immediately shook his head and said, "That won't do. This blessed land of spiritual mountains is a place for you cultivators to cultivate in peace. How can your mother and I, mere mortals, disturb your cultivation here?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou's mother nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes, your brothers and sisters are all still in the towns outside the mountains. Your mother and father can't just abandon them!"

Hearing her parents' answer, Zhou Chun fell silent.

In fact, given his current status as an elite member of the Zhou family, he could have allowed all his direct relatives to settle in Jiufengling.

However, he also knew that the conditions in Jiufengling were not very suitable for ordinary people to settle down and live.

Humans are social creatures, and most people enjoy lively and bustling life.

However, those who cultivate immortality prefer tranquility.

Therefore, for most ordinary people, living in a town with a large population of ordinary people is far more convenient and enjoyable than living in a remote mountain area like Jiufengling.

"Alright then, since you don't like life on the mountain, I won't force you. Anyway, where you live now isn't far from the mountain, and I'll visit you often when I have free time!"

Zhou Chun remained silent for a long time before finally nodding. He stopped mentioning the matter of staying on the mountain and only asked that the two elders stay there for a few more days so that he could take good care of them.

The two elders naturally wouldn't refuse this request out of filial piety.

After staying on the mountain for half a month, Zhou Chun had no choice but to personally send the two elders back to the town outside the mountain because they were really worried about their other children outside the mountain, and also to meet with their brothers and sisters.

According to the family's birth order, Zhou Chun is the third child, with an older sister and an older brother above him, and a younger sister and a younger brother below him.

Apart from him and his fifth brother, all his other siblings are now married and have children.

This time, they also benefited from his influence. His brothers and sisters, along with about five thousand other ordinary members of the Zhou family, migrated for more than a year, covering thousands of miles, and arrived in Lanzhou, Jingguo, where they once again received the protection of the family's cultivators.

After meeting with his brothers and sisters, Zhou Chun gave each of them some pills that he had specially exchanged from the family as gifts.

Cultivation families like the Zhou family, which have a large number of mortal members, specially refine pills to serve these mortals so that the cultivators in the family can show filial piety and affection to their mortal relatives.

These elixirs are made primarily from certain medicinal herbs. They are mild and easily absorbed, and can cure diseases, detoxify, and prolong life for ordinary people.

Even some ailments that Zhou Chun had difficulty curing in his previous life, such as myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction, have miraculous effects after taking these pills, which can relieve symptoms immediately after taking them. They can be called panaceas.

Zhou Chun provided one to each of his direct blood relatives as a token of his goodwill.

After spending three days with his relatives in the mortal world, he finally returned to the Zhou family's mountain gate at Jiufengling.

"It seems I've completely adapted to this world and this identity now. These past few days, meeting and spending time with my relatives, I haven't felt uncomfortable or awkward at all; everything has been so natural and relaxed!"

Inside the room, Zhou Chun looked at his clean and handsome face in the mirror, muttering to himself, his eyes shifting uncertainly.

Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, he himself couldn't say for sure.

Perhaps the influence of environment on assimilation is that powerful.

Now, apart from maintaining three meals a day and occasionally having significantly different ideas from other Zhou family cultivators, Zhou Chun is completely no different from the natives of this world.

In the first year, he would occasionally miss the technological products from his previous life, the comfortable and soft bed, and the various delicious foods and drinks.

But now he has completely gotten used to the hard wooden bed, the simple meals he eats every day, and the early morning meditation practice.

He is now a proper cultivator, and his every word and action conforms to the principles of cultivators.

"Perhaps this is the real me!"

With a slight smile, Zhou Chun was very satisfied with his current life; in fact, he preferred it to any other.

Over the next two or three months, Zhou Chun made sure to visit his parents and relatives in the mortal town outside the mountains every month to help them solve some of their problems and difficulties in life.

It should be said that the Zhou family took good care of these ordinary clansmen and did not abandon them after they migrated here.

Within the settlement, the Zhou family currently has a resident cultivator of the "Jia" generation responsible for protecting these mortals. If any local mortal forces try to bully these Zhou family mortals, they will know how serious the consequences will be.

However, the cultivator could only provide military assistance; he was clearly unable to help with matters of daily life, leaving the mortals to find their own solutions.

Zhou Chun had the experience and knowledge from his previous life, so he could usually find solutions to these kinds of life problems, which helped him a lot.

Time passed by unnoticed, and Zhou Chun, busy with his cultivation, almost forgot about his agreement with the Third Elder, Zhou Daoquan.

It wasn't until this day, when Zhou Daoquan suddenly sent someone to Baozhi Peak to find him, that he remembered the matter.

"You've finally arrived, kid. You've really gotten a great deal this time. I wonder how you're going to thank me?"

On Flying Stone Peak, when Zhou Chun met the Third Elder Zhou Daoquan, he saw that the other party was looking at him with an unfriendly expression and said the following words.

He pondered what he had said and immediately understood its meaning.

Then, with a mixture of joy and trepidation, he looked at Zhou Daoquan and said, "Elder, I will certainly repay your great kindness in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Daoquan's eyebrows twitched, and he rolled his eyes at him, saying irritably, "What's the difference between saying that and not saying anything at all? Can't you just tell me the truth and offer me ten thousand spirit coins or a thousand-year-old spirit herb in the future?"

Now it was Zhou Chun's turn to roll her eyes.

Ten thousand spirit coins and a thousand-year-old elixir—this old man really dares to make such a claim!

He could only put on a bitter face and say, "Elder, please stop teasing me. What I just said was absolutely true. You can see for yourself how I perform in the future."

"Hmph, you said it yourself. If you dare to fail to perform well in the future, I won't let you off easily!"

Zhou Daoyi snorted lightly, then with a wave of his hand, took out the mysterious snake egg that Zhou Chun had given him to study.

The snake egg had shrunk slightly in size, but a faint life force could still be sensed.

In other words, the life inside has already taken shape and can be incubated by cultivators through a contract.

Just as Zhou Chun was staring intently at the mysterious snake egg, Zhou Daoquan revealed its true origin with a look of envy.
