Chapter 1169: Chapter 503: Starfall Gold [Please Subscribe]_3

Because the rewards were generous and the competition was open to everyone, many Zhou Family cultivators signed up to participate.

Though the several tournaments consumed considerable family resources, they did indeed uncover a few clan members with outstanding talent.

The most talented among them was a youth from the "Zhi" generation, named Zhou Zhixiong. He displayed remarkable aptitude in the art of talisman crafting. Despite having just reached the third level of the Qi Refinement Realm, within three years of studying talisman crafting, he was already capable of producing more than ten types of First Order inferior-grade talismans, with a success rate surpassing thirty percent.

Upon learning this, Zhou Chun immediately assigned a Second Order talisman maker within the clan to tutor him personally and allocated extra resources, specifically elixirs, to support him.

Currently, the Zhou Family’s best talisman maker is Zhou Daoyi, who can craft Third Order inferior-grade talismans.

However, according to Zhou Daoyi himself, this is essentially the upper limit of his talisman crafting skill. Unless he can successfully form a core, he has no chance of producing higher-grade talismans.

The talent Zhou Zhixiong has demonstrated in talisman crafting at such a young age and cultivation level clearly surpasses Zhou Daoyi. If he can successfully open his Purple Mansion in the future, he has a high chance of becoming a Third Order superior-grade talisman maker.

Cultivating such a high-level talisman maker could significantly enhance the foundation of the family.

Aside from Zhou Zhixiong, another person’s performance in the skill tournament caught Zhou Chun’s attention.

This individual was none other than an external clan cultivator, Zhang Liang.

Initially linked to Zhou Chun through matrimonial ties, Zhang Liang—a superior spiritual root cultivator married into the Zhou Family—also displayed noteworthy talent in formations.

Over the years, as he lived and cultivated with his Dao companion Zhou Xindie, an Array Master, he discovered his aptitude in this field. With the Zhou Family’s relatively comprehensive formation inheritance and training, he has already surpassed Zhou Xindie in formation proficiency.

In this year’s Zhou Family skill tournament, Zhang Liang served as the chief examiner in formations.

With his current formation mastery, he is nearly comparable to the Zhou Family’s former Second Elder, Zhou Chongshan.

It is said that he is currently studying the formation diagram of the [Five Directions Mirlo Array], a gift from the You Family during Zhou Chun’s Golden Core Stage ceremony.

If he can fully comprehend this formation diagram and successfully deploy the [Five Directions Mirlo Array], his formation mastery will definitively rival Zhou Chongshan’s.

"If this individual can truly set up the [Five Directions Mirlo Array], it may warrant supporting him in opening his Purple Mansion. He might very well become the Zhou Family’s first Array Master!"

"Moreover, fostering him in such a way could serve as a potent symbol for attracting outside talents!"

Zhou Chun discreetly made a note of this in his personal ledger—a notebook where he recorded names of family members and talents worthy of observation and cultivation.

After spending nearly two years, Zhou Chun finally completed the task of refining all the [Earth Mother Profound Gold].

Once this significant undertaking was finished, Zhou Chun made a trip to Jiangzhou to visit the Su Family.

His Dao companion, Su Yuzhen, had begun secluded refinement of her "False Core" and was making excellent progress. It was estimated that she would succeed within one to two years.

After learning about her situation, Zhou Chun did not disturb his Dao companion further and left promptly.

He then headed straight toward the Great Zhou Kingdom.

A few years had passed, and Luo Qingni should have wrapped up her research on the improved alchemy recipe. Zhou Chun intended to seek her assistance in leveraging her network to gather spiritual medicine for refining a batch of [Ancient Dust Pills].

Additionally, in the previous years, the family had collected auxiliary ingredients for several batches of Foundation Establishment Pills, and it was also time to request Luo Qingni’s help in alchemy.

Moreover, Zhou Chun needed to retrieve the [Taiyi Profound Gold Qi] he had reserved at the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion to ensure Manager Sun wouldn’t allocate his preordered goods to others.

There was also the matter of the puppet master Zhou Chun had discussed with Luo Qingni earlier; he wanted to follow up on whether a meeting could be arranged.

Lastly, Zhou Chun intended to inquire about Yu Jinghua’s movements and see what the old schemer had been up to lately!

After advancing to the Golden Core Stage, traveling between the Great Zhou Kingdom and Jingguo Country had become exceptionally convenient. Zhou Chun no longer needed to meticulously plan every trip as he had in the past.

However, to Zhou Chun’s surprise, when he arrived at Tianyuan Immortal City seeking Luo Qingni, she was nowhere to be found.

It was only at a shop registered under Luo Qingni that he learned she had been invited by a sect outside the Great Zhou Kingdom to refine alchemy exclusively for three years. Two years had already passed.

"Strange. With Luo Qingni’s temperament, it’s plausible for her to refine pills for others, but it’s almost impossible for her to provide on-site services as a dedicated alchemist! Could it perhaps be..."

Suddenly, Zhou Chun had a thought but shook his head and chose not to dwell on it further.

If it truly were as he suspected—a Nascent Soul Stage True Person personally inviting her—then Luo Qingni would indeed find it difficult to decline.

After all, in the cultivation world, strength reigns supreme. When a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator solicits help from a Golden Core Stage cultivator, as long as the request isn’t excessively unreasonable, the Golden Core Stage cultivator would struggle to refuse—indeed, dare not refuse!

Since Luo Qingni was temporarily unavailable, Zhou Chun had no choice but to delay his plans to request her help in alchemy.

He promptly changed course and headed to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion to retrieve his reserved [Taiyi Profound Gold Qi].

Manager Sun from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion adhered strictly to the contract, allowing Zhou Chun to easily obtain the[Taiyi Profound Gold Qi] collected over the past few years. If things continued smoothly, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to gather the golden qi needed within roughly twenty years.
