The Ingenious Use of the Stone Jar, A Meeting of Clan Members

Chapter 7 The Ingenious Use of the Stone Jar, A Meeting of Clan Members

Hongyafang Market, Yingxian Inn.

After buying a wild ginseng from the street market, Zhou Chun temporarily closed the stall and opened a cultivation room at the Yingxian Inn.

In all markets like Hongya Market, the inns are officially operated by the market authorities, and they charge according to time and room class.

For example, in the Class B cultivation room where cultivators in the Qi Refining stage live, twelve hours are worth one spirit coin, and the cost can be accumulated.

For example, a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining can only meditate and cultivate for two hours each day.

So, after he registers by paying one spirit coin on his first day, he can come and cultivate for two hours for free for the next five days.

During his stay in the market, Zhou Chun had already opened a cultivation room at the inn to cultivate.

To be honest, the feeling of cultivating in the cultivation room is indeed far superior to that of the outside world.

Without the interference of turbid and evil energy, the blissful feeling of cultivating is truly addictive.

If it weren't for the limitations imposed by the capacity of his own meridians and acupoints, which prevented him from cultivating for too long each day, and the fact that he didn't have enough spirit coins in his wallet, Zhou Chunzhen would have preferred to stay in the cultivation room every day and cultivate until he reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining before coming out!

However, Zhou Chun is now entering the cultivation room not for cultivation.

He activated the small soundproof array in the cultivation room and then took out the stone jar from his storage bag.

At this time, there was still half a jar of purifying spiritual water left in the stone jar.

Zhou Chun looked at the spiritual water in the stone jar, hesitated for a moment, and then put the wild spirit ginseng, which cost him twenty-four spirit coins, into it to soak.

The purifying spiritual water inside the stone jar can purify and remove the turbid and evil energy accumulated in wild spiritual herbs and spiritual mines. This is information that Zhou Chun obtained from the original owner's memories.

He didn't doubt it, but now that he had the opportunity to verify it, he naturally wanted to give it a try.

After a short while, the blue spiritual water inside the stone jar became slightly lighter in color.

Once the color of the spiritual water had completely stopped changing, Zhou Chun retrieved the wild ginseng.

At this time, the wild ginseng has become much more eye-catching. Its yellowish-white skin even has a faint glow and emits a faint ginseng fragrance.

Now, the turbid and evil energy in the wild ginseng has been completely removed, making it equivalent to a ginseng planted in a spirit field.

Such rare ginseng, even at the same age, can fetch more than double the price!

In other words, any wild medicinal herb that falls into Zhou Chun's hands can double in price simply by soaking it in the spiritual water in the stone jar!

Upon realizing this, Zhou Chun's breath caught in his throat, and then he looked at the stone jar with excitement and exclaimed, "A treasure basin! This is a real treasure basin!"

In an instant, all sorts of ideas flooded his mind, and he seemed to see himself making a fortune by buying low and selling high with stone jars, thus reaching the pinnacle of life.

But as he thought about it, a very real problem suddenly appeared in front of him.

How can he explain the origin of the elixir he possesses to others?

As the old rogue cultivator who sold spirit ginseng mentioned earlier, the methods for removing and purifying the turbid and evil energy within wild spirit herbs are only known to those cultivation sects.

If Zhou Chun were to sell this purified spiritual medicine by himself, how could people not suspect its origin?

Even if he can wait until he joins the Zhou family and sells under the Zhou family's name, I'm afraid that if the volume and variety of goods are too large, he won't be able to withstand scrutiny.

Moreover, as far as he knew from his memories, even if a cultivation family had a lot of spiritual herbs planted in its medicinal fields, most of those herbs belonged to the family's public property and could not be handed over to any one person to sell individually.

They are usually used directly by the family, traded in bulk with other forces, or sold in the family shop.

"In that case, unless I can sell it through legitimate channels or anonymously in the future, this kind of elixir cannot be easily made available for sale!"

Upon realizing this, Zhou Chun's joy vanished, and he quickly regained his composure.

Then he looked at the ginseng in his hand, put it in a jade box that could effectively prevent the loss of its medicinal power, and put it into his storage bag.

After cultivating in the training room for another hour, Zhou Chun returned to the street market to set up his stall and gather information.

Three more days passed before Zhou Chun finally learned the whereabouts of the Zhou family from a newly arrived rogue cultivator who had set up a stall there.

According to that rogue cultivator, the Zhou family of spirit beasts now occupies Jiufeng Ridge in the eastern part of Lanzhou as their family residence. They even fought a fierce battle with a group of rogue cultivators who used to be based there, and even killed two Foundation Establishment stage rogue cultivators.

Upon learning of this, Zhou Chun lost all interest in staying in Hongyafang Market any longer.

He finally made it to the morning of the second day, then quickly packed up his stall and headed straight for a shop in the market.

In this shop famous for its magic talismans, Zhou Chun bought over a hundred spirit coins worth of magic talismans in one go, and then prepared to leave the market and head to the so-called Nine Peaks Ridge.

Just as he reached the vicinity of the market entrance, he suddenly encountered a group of three cultivators walking in from outside.

Just as he casually glanced at the three of them and was about to leave, a shout suddenly made him stop in his tracks.

"Is that Chun-ge'er from the Leopard Park?"

Zhou Chun hurriedly looked up and saw that the person who spoke was a long-faced young man who was three or four years older than him, with a rather conspicuous black mole below his right ear.

That instant matched his memory of a familiar cultivator, so he couldn't help but ask, "Are you Brother Yong from the Monkey Park?"

Upon hearing this, the long-faced youth's expression immediately lit up with joy, and he couldn't help but laugh heartily, "Hahaha, it really is you, Brother Chun! It's so good that you're alright!"

It turned out that this long-faced young man was Zhou Yong, a disciple of the same generation as Zhou Chun from the Zhou family, and also had a cultivation level of the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Previously, both of them worked in the Three Absolutes Sect's Beast Garden, but Zhou Chun was in charge of the leopard enclosure, while he was in charge of the monkey enclosure.

Because they worked in the same place, the two had a pretty good relationship, which is why the long-faced young man recognized Zhou Chun at a glance.

When the two recognized each other, Zhou Chun gradually recalled the names of the other two people based on his memory, after Zhou Yong explained it to him.

After all, they were all cultivators from the Zhou family before. Although they might not have had any real relationship, they would still attend some important family gatherings and had generally heard of each other's names.

Among the other two, the eldest was named Zhou Fei, who was forty-seven years old and had a cultivation level of tenth level of Qi Refining.

The other person was named Zhou Jingwen, a 35-year-old female cultivator who was somewhat short and had a cultivation level of the eighth level of Qi Refining.

After this recognition, Zhou Chun's mind raced, and before Zhou Yong and the others could ask about his own affairs, he...

He immediately exclaimed with great joy, "It's so great to see Uncle Fei and Brother Yong here! I just found out that the family has settled in Jiufeng Ridge and I'm preparing to go there to serve them!"

Upon hearing his words, Zhou Fei and Zhou Yong immediately smiled, clearly satisfied with what he said.

This saved them a lot of trouble.

Zhou Fei immediately replied, "Chun'er, you're so kind. Since we've met here by chance, we'll take you back to see the clan leader and elders after we've finished our business."

Another elder, Zhou Jingwen, nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes. Now that the family has just settled in Jingguo, it is the time when we need people. If a family member with such excellent qualities as Chun-ge'er returns to the family, the clan leader and elders will definitely be happy and will not treat you unfairly."

"The two elders are right. Chun-ge, you can rest assured and come back with us. The family will definitely not mistreat you."

Zhou Yong chimed in.

Judging from the attitudes of these three people, Zhou Chun seemed to have a better understanding of the current situation of the Zhou family.

Clearly, having experienced the division, the Zhou family now cherishes every returning member of the family.

This was roughly in line with his previous expectations.

A cultivation family that has just broken free from the constraints of a sect will inevitably focus on winning over the young cultivators under its command in order to strengthen family cohesion and reassure the people.

In that case, he shouldn't have to worry about being treated like a beast of burden when he goes back.
