But now, with her lifebound Dharma treasure in hand, she felt a confidence that she could go anywhere in the world.
Confidence stemmed from strength, and that was an eternal and unchanging truth.
At that moment, Lin Hongyu raised her hand and summoned a streak of fire that flew out from the all-encompassing dust, landing in her hand to become a palm-sized ring.
Without witnessing it with their own eyes, who could imagine that it was this palm-sized ring that had just destroyed a mountain hundreds of feet tall!
Lin Hongyu flipped her hand, and the palm-sized ring automatically transformed into a streak of fire that entered her body.
This was the wonder of a Dharma treasure that no longer needed to be stored in a storage pouch and could easily be taken into the body’s Dantian to nourish, allowing it to be wielded at will!
Having retrieved her Dharma treasure, she softly said, “The commotion just now was quite large. We should extinguish the fire first, then leave this place!”
Upon hearing her words, the four people from the Zhou family awakened from a daze. They exchanged glances, each seeing the color of shock and joy in the others’ eyes.
The display of Lin Hongyu’s power was certainly shocking, but thinking that she was now the protector of the Zhou Family made it even more joyful.
As the youngest of those present, Zhou Chun immediately said, “Senior’s words are very true. Let the younger generation take care of extinguishing the fire!”
He then flew forward, forming seals with his hands, and cast a rain-making technique.
He did not possess a water attribute Spirit Root Aptitude, but as a Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator, casting some rain-making techniques was not difficult.
Moreover, Lin Hongyu had already withdrawn the power of the Flame Dragon True Fire when she retracted her Dharma treasure, so using rainwater to extinguish the wildfire was not difficult.
In less than two two-hour periods, he had extinguished the wildfire and prevented a disaster from occurring.
Only when they confirmed that the wildfire was completely extinguished did the group return to the Jade Mining Mountain Base.
An hour later, a giant black bird with a wingspan of several zhang flew from afar, circled a few times over the ruins of the mountain peak, and then, with a look of awe, left the area.
Lin Hongyu’s test was not arbitrarily chosen; the area had long been surveyed by the Zhou Family, and there were no signs of fourth-order Demon Beasts within five to six hundred li.
In this way, even if her test of the Dharma treasure’s power caused a great commotion, it would not attract a fourth-order Demon Beast.
And even if a third-order Demon Beast came to the scene to investigate, it would not be able to discern anything conclusive. It could not tell whether the marks on the ground were left by a Cultivator or a fourth-order Demon Beast.
Meanwhile, upon returning to the Jade Mining Mountain Base, the members of the Zhou Family thoroughly praised and congratulated Lin Hongyu.
Then, full of anticipation, Zhou Chun looked at Lin Hongyu and asked, “Now that Senior has successfully refined her lifebound Dharma treasure, I wonder when you can help me seize the Millennium Dragon Transformation Grass?”
Facing his inquiry, Lin Hongyu calculated briefly in her mind, then quickly replied, “This retreat to refine my lifebound Dharma treasure has consumed much of my spiritual energy, and I need some time to become familiar with the Dharma treasure’s capabilities and to cultivate a life-saving escape technique. It might take another three to five years before I can help you with this matter, Zhengchun!”
Another three to five years?
Zhou Chun felt a slight disappointment in his heart, but understood Lin Hongyu’s reasoning.
After all, she bore the important task of luring away the Flood Dragon, and if the Flood Dragon was too strong and she could not defeat it, she indeed needed a life-saving escape technique to leave the battlefield.
Therefore, he did not say much and simply nodded, saying, “That’s reasonable, that’s reasonable. I can wait for another three to five years.”

Hearing his response, Lin Hongyu appeared somewhat apologetic and, after some thought, looked at him and said, “Your contribution was crucial for me to refine my lifebound Dharma treasure, Zhengchun. Now that I have my lifebound Dharma treasure, those other magic artifacts are of little use to me. I shall give them to you to dispose of as you wish!”
As she spoke, she patted her storage pouch at her waist, took out two well-crafted, top-grade, third-order magic artifacts, and handed them to Zhou Chun.
She was once a highly valued protector of the Dragon Transformation Sect’s Red Dragon Hall, and all her magic artifacts were of fine quality.
However, she had already sold some of her magic artifacts at a reduced price to purchase materials to assist with Core Formation, so she did not have many left.
The two magic artifacts she took out, aside from one she kept for self-defense, were all she had left.
These two magic artifacts alone, if auctioned, could fetch over a hundred thousand Spirit Coins.
“This…”
Zhou Chun looked at the magic artifact Lin Hongyu handed over, hesitated for a moment, and did not accept it immediately.
According to his own idea, he wanted to use the news of the Cold Jade Veins to ask for Lin Hongyu’s help in snatching the Millennium Dragon Transformation Grass, and that alone would have satisfied him.
“Since Hongyu has already given it to you, Zhengchun, don’t be shy, just take it as a gift from your elder.”
Zhou Daoyi saw Zhou Chun’s hesitation and easily understood his thoughts, and could not help but speak out to persuade him.
Lin Hongyu also said, “Husband is right, after all, I am your elder, Zhengchun. It’s normal for me to bestow a few magic artifacts on you. Don’t tell me you don’t regard me as an elder in your heart?”
With these words, Zhou Chun found it difficult to refuse any longer.
He could only accept the magic artifact and thank her profusely, “Then this junior will not stand on ceremony, thank you Great-grandmother for the treasure.”
By seniority, Zhou Chun, belonging to the generation with the “Zheng” character, should indeed call Zhou Daoyi great-grandfather.
So calling Lin Hongyu great-grandmother was also correct.
And his address of “Great-grandmother” certainly made Lin Hongyu smile with glee, praising him repeatedly.
Afterwards, the group didn’t stay long in the Jade Mining Valley and quickly returned to Jiufeng Ridge.
However, on the way back, Zhou Chun informed Xu Fu that the family had agreed to promote him to Honorary Elder, though the official announcement would not be made until he returned to Lanzhou.
For this outcome, Xu Fu was naturally overjoyed, he kowtowed to Zhou Chun on the spot expressing his gratitude and declared his loyalty.
On the other hand, after returning to the family, Zhou Chun examined the two magic artifacts Lin Hongyu had given him in his residence.
He was very familiar with one of the artifacts, it was the very same crimson Beheading Blade that Lin Hongyu had used the first time he saw her.
That artifact was extremely sharp; Lin Hongyu even used it to sever the body of a Green Flood Dragon once.
Moreover, the artifact was tailored and forged for the Dragon Transformation Sect cultivators and was especially suitable for close combat when executing the Secret of Dragon Transformation Technique.
Zhou Chun considered that he could refine it for his own use to enhance his combat effectiveness after executing the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique.
As for the other magic artifact Lin Hongyu bestowed, it was a Dragon Scale Token made from the scales of a fourth-order Red Fire Flood Dragon, capable of unleashing the Flood Dragon Fire to attack enemies.
Although the Flood Dragon Fire produced by this Dragon Scale Token could not match the demonic fire spewed by a genuine fourth-order Red Fire Flood Dragon, it still possessed great lethal power against Purple Mansion Phase cultivators.
Given that the power of this object came from the inherent Flood Dragon Fire in the artifact itself, and even though it was a fire attribute artifact, Zhou Chun could wield it to its full potential, which made it a very decent magic artifact.
With these two artifacts as supplements, Zhou Chun had more or less made up for his shortcomings in terms of magic artifacts.
Before long, an opportunity arose for Zhou Chun to demonstrate his abilities.
It turned out that one day, the Green Lotus Temple finally took action against the cultivator families within Lingzhou’s borders that had chosen to bunker down.
A decree from the Green Lotus Temple arrived directly at the Zhou Family, demanding two Purple Mansion Phase cultivators and three Foundation Establishment cultivators to head to Lingzhou to participate in the suppression of the rebellious cultivator families.
Yes, the Green Lotus Temple still did not directly move against the Tianjing Sect’s main gate or branches, continuing only to prune the cultivator families under the Tianjing Sect’s command.
It seemed they intended to force the Tianjing Sect to engage directly through this method.
Naturally, the ones to take action were still the Zhou Family and other cultivator families, albeit this time they were more organized.
After receiving the decree, the higher-ups of the Zhou Family briefly consulted and decided to send Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun, along with Zhou Jiapeng, Zhou Zhengyong, and Zhou Xintie, three Foundation Establishment cultivators, to gather at the Lingzhou frontier.
As it happened, when the five from the Zhou Family arrived at the location notified by the Green Lotus Temple, they discovered that among the assembled cultivators, there were quite a few familiar faces.
The Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Wang Family of Hongyao Valley, the He Family of Qingzhu Mountain, and the Sun Family of Golden Maple Ridge had all been assigned to the same team as the Zhou Family, and among other Foundation Establishment cultivators who came over, Zhou Chun also saw many families with close ties to the Zhou Family.
It was clear that this arrangement was intentional on the part of the Green Lotus Temple.
And the leader of this team was none other than the Zhou Family.
