Chapter 1281: Chapter 532: Delightful Harvest [Request for Subscription]_2
The Third Order Scale Frog Alien Clan magicians in the water are not much weaker than ordinary Third Order Demon Beasts. As long as Wukulu brings some helpers and is cautious, there is a good chance of completing this mission.
After a dozen days, the weary Wukulu finally appeared once more before Zhou Chun.
"Senior Zhou, the junior did not disgrace the mission. According to your instructions, I have successfully placed that coffin inside Dragon Abyss and left identifiable markings as you directed!"
He spoke with a faint voice about completing his mission, his tone weak as if speaking was exhausting.
However, Zhou Chun could tell that although he indeed suffered a considerable loss of Essence Energy, it wasn’t to such a degree.
Doing so now was simply to seek a reward.
In this regard, Zhou Chun didn’t have any adverse views since the other party indeed risked their life to accomplish the tasked mission.
The emperor doesn’t starve his soldiers!
Naturally, Zhou Chun wouldn’t make Wukulu take risks for nothing.
He immediately patted the storage pouch at his waist, producing a jade slip in his hand.
Then he threw it to Wukulu and said, "This jade slip contains a modified Artifact Refining inheritance. I know, Wukulu, you’ve long wanted to cultivate your own clan’s Artifact Refiner. Take this and study it carefully. In the future, your Scale Frog Clan might be able to produce some low-level Magic Artifacts on their own!"
Upon hearing this, Wukulu was first shocked, then overjoyed.
He hurriedly caught the jade slip, then repeatedly bowed to Zhou Chun in thanks, "Thank you, Senior Zhou, for the reward. I promise you, even if the Scale Frog Clan can produce low-level Magic Artifacts in the future, it will definitely not affect the trade with the Zhou Family!"
Smart as he was, he knew what the Zhou Family might worry about and expressed his stance right then.
But he didn’t actually know that Zhou Chun wasn’t afraid of the Scale Frog Alien Clan mastering the production of low-level Magic Artifacts and severing trade with the Zhou Family.
And Zhou Chun did not want to elaborate further, simply smiling and nodding as he said, "Hmm, Wukulu, you’re a clever High Priest. The Scale Frog Clan needs a High Priest with such foresight to guide them so they can thrive even better within Dragon Abyss Marsh!"
Then he let Wukulu leave.
"I hope these Scale Frog Aliens won’t disappoint me and will quickly achieve self-production of low-level Magic Artifacts!"
Watching Wukulu’s departing direction, a touch of worry surfaced in Zhou Chun’s eyes.
If possible, he certainly didn’t want the Scale Frog Alien Clan to self-produce low-level Magic Artifacts.
However, the reality was that due to a century-long trade with the Zhou Family, the number of low-level Magic Artifacts in the Scale Frog Alien Clan was already substantial.
This greatly enhanced their strength but also sowed hidden dangers.
If one day members of the Dragon Transformation Sect noticed the Scale Frog Alien Clan magicians using Magic Artifacts, wouldn’t it be likely to expose the Zhou Family’s existence?
Thus, Zhou Chun wanted the Scale Frog Alien Clan to self-produce low-level Magic Artifacts so that if the Dragon Transformation Sect truly investigated, they could cover up the Zhou Family’s presence.
Fortunately, despite many Scale Frog Alien Clan magicians knowing that High Priest Wukulu had trade dealings with the Human Clan, few truly knew of the Zhou Family’s existence.
Whenever trade took place, it was always Wukulu and a few confidants interacting with the Zhou Family Cultivators, who never openly appeared before ordinary Scale Frog Alien Clan magicians.
As long as Wukulu and his confidants remained steady, the Zhou Family should be able to remain hidden.
After resolving the Ice Prison Sect assassin, Zhou Chun didn’t linger in the Wasteland Territory and quickly headed to the secret treasure location in Cheng Country.
He needed to wrap up this secret treasure before the Ice Prison Sect responded, then hide in the Great Zhou Kingdom for a while.
...
In Ice Barbarian Country, in a certain cold ice room.
It’s unclear how deep underground this place is, with walls of sturdy ice that emit a blue glow.
Within the ice room, soul tablets emitting purple-black spiritual light are enshrined, each labeled with the owner’s name.
A rough glance reveals there are over a hundred soul tablets!
When the assassin targeting Zhou Chun was sealed using the Soul-Sealing Deathly Binding Technique, a soul tablet labeled "Chi Qinghan" trembled slightly, and the purple-black light it emitted dimmed significantly.
This scene immediately caught the attention of an elder meditating in a corner of the ice room.
The elder had a full head of white hair and wore an ice-sculpted mask.
Opening his eyes, his gaze fell upon the restless soul tablet.
"The soul tablet trembles, the soul light dims—it seems Junior Brother Chi encountered danger while on a mission. Let’s observe for a bit longer," he muttered to himself, then focused part of his attention on the soul tablet.
After a half-day observation, seeing no further movement in the soul tablet and its light stabilizing, the elder furrowed his brows and muttered, "Judging by the soul tablet’s response, Junior Brother Chi should have no life-threatening concerns. But is he injured and in need of recuperation, or has his Primordial Spirit been sealed?"
After a brief contemplation, the elder took out a Communication Talisman to notify the Sect Leader of the Ice Prison Sect of his findings.
Soon after, he received a reply.
"Continue observing for half a month. If no changes occur, return after the half-month."
Softly reciting the Sect Leader’s reply, the elder resumed his meditative sitting with his eyes closed.
