Chapter 717: Chapter 366: Searching for Treasure in the Wild, Golden Sword Bamboo [Subscribe Requested]
Zhou Chun found his initial encounter with the Scale Frog Clan magician Wukulu to be quite satisfactory.
Although these Alien Races didn’t quite understand Human Clan etiquette, they undoubtedly adored the Magic Artifacts and Elixirs crafted by humans.
As long as they had such desires and dependencies, they would be bound to the Zhou Family, making it highly unlikely for them to betray the Zhou Family.
After all, aside from the Zhou Family, there were no other Human Clan Cultivators engaging in such trade with them.
At the same time, with the excellent weapons provided by the Zhou Family, and the Elixirs that enhanced the Cultivation Level of their magicians, the Scale Frog Clan greatly benefited in their search for even more precious and rare treasures within the waters of the Dragon Abyss Marsh.
And most of these aquatic treasures would eventually end up in the hands of the Zhou Family, becoming part of the family’s foundation.
“Fortunately, Lu Ran doesn’t know that Senior Lin has joined the Zhou Family and has already succeeded in Core Formation. That way, after he passes away, should the number of third-order magicians in the Scale Frog Alien Clan become too many, we can have Senior Lin take action and kill a few, preventing them from undergoing a qualitative change through quantitative increase and giving birth to a fourth-order magician!”
After leaving the Water Mansion, Zhou Chun looked back at Lu Ran and Wukulu who were still sending him off in the distance, his mind already pondering a precautionary plan.
The saying goes, “Those not of our kind must have different hearts.”
After all, an Alien Race is still an Alien Race, even if they seem naive and easy to deceive at the moment.
But once they truly gain a certain level of strength, they will definitely show their ferocious side.
A third-order magician of the Scale Frog Alien Clan, limited by their own strength, could only operate near the coastline of the Dragon Abyss Marsh.
However, if a fourth-order magician from the Scale Frog Alien Clan were to emerge, they would definitely have the ability to cross the Wasteland Territory to reach Human Clan Territories and have the strength to venture deep into the Dragon Abyss Marsh to pay their respects to the Flood Dragon Clan.
By then, it would be impossible for the Zhou Family to control these Alien Races as easily as they do now.
Therefore, in Zhou Chun’s view, it was acceptable to help improve the living conditions of the Scale Frog Alien Race, but they must never be allowed to grow so powerful that they could threaten the Zhou Family.
After leaving the Water Mansion, Zhou Chun didn’t rush back to his family. Instead, he began an adventure of exploration and treasure hunting in the Wasteland Territory.
He specifically brought the Wood Charm this time, hoping to utilize its special talent for finding Spiritual Medicine.
For safety reasons, Zhou Chun didn’t go to unfamiliar territories in search of Spiritual Medicine but chose areas around Longxing Valley that had been repeatedly scouted by Xu Fu and others.
“Good Lu’er, it’s all up to you today. If you do well, I will take you to a forest with an even better environment than where your original form lived, and let you have fun there to your heart’s content!”
In the mountains and forests, Zhou Chun released the Wood Charm from his Spirit Beast Pouch, gave it a series of instructions, and made clear the current situation.

Assured by his promise and finding themselves in the rarely-trodden wilderness, the Azure Deer, transformed by the Wood Charm, quickly became excited.
It darted through the woods, bouncing here and there and soon began to lead the way.
Not long after, halfway up a mountain peak amidst some bushes, Zhou Chun, guided by the Azure Deer, dug up an Earth Poria that was more than ten zhang deep into the ground and over five hundred years old.
Next, within a hole in an ancient tree, Zhou Chun harvested a Black Cloud Ganoderma that was over six hundred years old.
After traveling several dozen li, Zhou Chun, again led by the Azure Deer, dug up an eight-hundred-year-old Red Blood Ginseng on the slope of a forest.
Under the Azure Deer’s guidance, Zhou Chun traversed mountains and valleys, his footsteps covering a thousand li radius, and in just two short days, he found seven instances of Spiritual Medicine older than five hundred years.
These Spiritual Medicines were all ones that Xu Fu and the others had previously missed, like pearls overlooked.
But the land held more than just these missed treasures, and Zhou Chun simply chose not to gather those with a lesser age.
Moreover, during the hunt for the Spiritual Medicine, Zhou Chun also discovered a limitation of the Wood Charm.
Or perhaps it shouldn’t be called a limitation.
That is, under certain fixed commands from Zhou Chun, it could essentially find only well-recognizable, sufficiently aged Spiritual Medicines such as Ginseng, Poria, and Lingzhi.
But as for other Spiritual Medicines taking the form of Spirit Grass, fungi, vines, or fruits, it couldn’t specifically discern their age and value from a distance.
This seemed to be a limitation of its innate sensing ability, possibly related to its lack of systematic education in identifying Spiritual Medicine.
So Zhou Chun simply let it do as it pleased, allowing it to find whatever Spiritual Objects it considered precious.
The outcome of this approach was surprisingly good.
With the Wood Charm freely picking out targets, it led Zhou Chun to quite a number of rare and unusual Spirit Grasses and fungi.
One day, the Wood Charm led Zhou Chun into a stone forest within the mountains while they were searching for herbs.
This place was peculiar: surrounded by lush mountains and ridges on all sides, the area here was riddled with rocks and boulders, spanning tens of thousands of acres.
Guided by the Azure Deer, Zhou Chun quickly arrived at a large Stone sitting deep within the stone forest.
Then, following the Azure Deer’s direction, Zhou Chun soon set eyes on the Spiritual Object it had found.
It was astonishingly a silver-black Spirit Bamboo!
It grew underneath a cave formed by two large Stones arching together, barely under two zhang tall, and its body was only slightly slimmer than Zhou Chun’s wrist.
Most interesting was its leaves, each like a blade, narrow and long, very straight, resembling iron casts.
