Chapter 1099: Chapter 485: Zhou Zhengyong Breakthrough [8000-word mega Chapter, subscribe please]_2

Before her, the Poison Pond was created according to the Tome of Thousand Poisons, using twenty-eight different toxins mixed with clear water. Ordinary Qi Refinement Cultivators would be poisoned to death very quickly upon entering it.

However, she had taken a specially made anti-poison Spirit Pill that protected her heart meridians and mind from being quickly poisoned by the toxins.

Her ultimate goal was to refine the toxins and Spiritual Energy together into Mana before she succumbed to death, allowing her body to coexist with the poison!

Hmm——

With a muffled groan, Zhou Yuanlian, whose body was already halfway submerged into the Poison Pond, let out a groan of pain.

The moment her skin made contact with the poisonous water, the toxins had already begun to enter her body through her pores.

The toxins were so fierce that her originally delicate and snow-white skin started to turn purplish-black and break out in dense poison pustules within just a short ten or so breaths, looking extremely horrifying.

"Focus on your Cultivation Technique to meditate and cultivate; leave everything else to me!"

Suddenly, Zhou Chun’s solemn and majestic voice echoed in Zhou Yuanlian’s mind, stabilizing her somewhat panicked spirit swiftly.

She quickly formed hand seals and adopted a meditative posture, closing her eyes and beginning to cultivate in seated meditation.

Seeing her able to endure the excruciating pain of the poison eroding her flesh and enter the state of cultivation so quickly, Zhou Chun also nodded to himself, quite satisfied.

One’s personal will is a very important factor for success in cultivating the Tome of Thousand Poisons.

In Zhou Chun’s view, only those with the belief "without madness, there is no survival" can continue down this perilous path.

One could even say that only a madman would be willing to cultivate this technique!

Zhou Yuanlian’s strong will, forged under the torment at the hands of Demon Cultivators, gave her an advantage when starting out on the Tome of Thousand Poisons.

However, the later Chapters and the pain that comes with continuing the cultivation of the Tome of Thousand Poisons will be far more intense than the torment she originally endured.

No one knows how far she can go on this path.

Everything will depend on her own fortune!

Thanks to Zhou Yuanlian’s strong will and the protection from Zhou Chun, a Purple Mansion Late Stage elder, her transition to the Tome of Thousand Poisons went relatively smoothly.

After three sessions of training in the Poison Pond, she laid the foundation with the Tome of Thousand Poisons and re-entered the first layer of the Qi Refinement Realm.

In the future, she still needed to immerse herself in the Poison Pond every few days to absorb toxins into her body.

Additionally, during her spare time from cultivation, she needed to study pharmacology and learn how to craft poisons, as she would have to prepare most of the poisons required for her own cultivation in the future.

Zhou Chun had previously acquired many Classics related to this field from the Storage Pouch of the "Snake Demon" Xu Qinglin, who had prepared them meticulously for his transition to Poison Techniques after Core Formation.

Zhou Yuanlian just needed to diligently study the knowledge within these Classics.

Therefore, after giving her instructions and informing some Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the family about her special circumstances, Zhou Chun returned first to Tuyun Ridge.

Not long after returning to Tuyun Ridge, Zhou Chun received a piece of news that was within his expectations.

The Green Lotus Temple suddenly announced that the former Temple Master, Master Qingwei, wished to focus on her personal path to the Nascent Soul and voluntarily stepped down from her position.

The new Temple Master named Taoist Yiyang, was a Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivator.

With the new Temple Master taking office, all Clan Leaders of the Cultivator Families under the temple’s command were required to visit Green Lotus Temple to attend the inauguration ceremony.

However, the Zhou Family, now under the authority of the Moon Wheel Sect, only sent a Foundation Establishment Cultivator with a congratulatory gift to the Green Lotus Temple as a symbolic gesture.

What surprised Zhou Chun even more was that Li Jingxuan, a Golden Core Stage Cultivator of the Elixir Li Family, who was supposed to attend the ceremony, suddenly visited Jiufeng Ridge with the Ancestor of You Family, Golden Core Stage Cultivator You Jingxuan.

Faced with such a situation, Zhou Chun had no choice but to ask Zhou Mingde to step forward and represent the family in welcoming the two Golden Core Stage Cultivators.

"Junior Zhou Mingde pays respects to Senior Li and Senior You. The simultaneous visit of both seniors truly honors the Zhou Family!"

Outside Tuyun Ridge, accompanied by Lin Hongyu and Zhou Chun, Zhou Mingde walked out of the Formation and immediately greeted the two Golden Elixir Cultivators from the world-renowned families with a smile.

He was the senior-most member of the Zhou Family, but compared to the two individuals like Li Jingxuan, he was indeed junior by more than one level.

Especially so for the Ancestor of You Family, You Jingxuan, who was already over eight hundred years old. In terms of seniority, he was at least five or six generations above Zhou Mingde.

But this wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

In the hundreds of years that followed, the You Family had been unable to cultivate another Golden Core Stage Cultivator, with no one to take his place!

If another hundred years passed and the You Family still could not cultivate a new Golden Core Stage Cultivator before he passed away, they would face the same dire situation that the Zhou Family once did.

As the saying goes, "thirty years on the east bank of the river, thirty years on the west."

Back then, when the Zhou Family was in decline, the newly established Jiufeng Ridge Zhou Family had only a few individuals; not to mention inheriting the name of a Golden Core prestigious family, even securing a position among the large Cultivator Families was difficult.

At that time, the people from the Elixir Li Family and the Formation You Family felt a sense of superiority when facing Jiufeng Ridge Zhou Family.
