Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming
Chapter 942 - 444: Kind Teacher, Filial Son [Subscribe Request]_3

She nodded quickly at Zhou Chun and said, "This Dharma Treasure is named 'Wutu Diamond Shield.' It's a defensive Dharma Treasure of the earth attribute. Once I have refined it, it will be difficult for anyone at the Golden Elixir Early Phase to defeat me with certainty!"

Zhou Chun, upon hearing this, immediately smiled and gave his congratulations, "Then I shall congratulate you in advance, great-aunt, for displaying your might on the battlefield and gaining great renown!"

After some more discussion about Zhou Chun competing for the rank of "Seven Celestials," Lin Hongyu then left to urgently refine the "Wutu Diamond Shield" Dharma Treasure.

And Zhou Chun, before setting off, became affectionate with his dao companion Su Yuzhen.

After waiting at Jiufeng Ridge for five days, Zhou Chun finally received a messenger from the Green Lotus Temple, informing him that Master Qingwei urgently summoned him to the temple.

Upon learning this, Zhou Chun knew that things must be secure.

It must be Baiyue True Person from the Moon Wheel Sect who had started to spread the news.

Indeed, when Zhou Chun arrived at the Green Lotus Temple and saw Master Qingwei, he found her expression as grave as water, completely absent of her usual contented and indifferent demeanor in front of him.

She didn't even wait for him to pay his respects before she stared at him intently and demanded, "Little Friend Zhou, what is this about? You clearly said you were going to discuss with your elders, so why have you gone to the Moon Wheel Sect? Could it be that the Zhou Family is planning to move its clan to the Moon Wheel Sect's territory?"

The words were quite impolite, even implying a threat.

From this, it was evident how annoyed and angry Master Qingwei was feeling.

But Zhou Chun was not flustered, replying respectfully, "Temple Master Senior, your insight is clear. I am the son-in-law of the Su Family. Ancestor of Su Family and Aunt Su are also my elders. Such matters concerning my personal life and death must naturally be discussed with my dao companion and these two elders, I did not expect that Baiyue True Person would take such an interest in me!"

This was naturally sophistry!

What the martial dao companionship between Zhou Chun and Su Yuzhen was all about, Master Qingwei would not be in the dark about.

But even though she knew, she couldn't pick out any faults from Zhou Chun's words on the surface.

The key was, the Moon Wheel Sect's power and strength were both stronger than the Green Lotus Temple.

If Baiyue True Person was genuinely interested in Zhou Chun and not setting off a smoke screen, then the Green Lotus Temple truly stood no chance in competing.

And even the migration of the Zhou Family to the Moon Wheel Sect's territory was not impossible.

Therefore, at this point, Master Qingwei really couldn't afford to tear her face with Zhou Chun.

So she could only allude subtly to Zhou Chun, "Sect Leader Baiyue might also be interested in Little Friend Zhou, but our three sects have long since agreed not to meddle in the affairs of each other's cultivating families. You should understand this, Little Friend Zhou!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately replied obediently, "Yes, I fully understand."

Seeing his demeanor, Master Qingwei's expression finally softened a bit, and she slightly nodded, "Hmm, so what have you considered, Zhou Chun? Have you decided to become my disciple and represent our temple in the competition for the rank of the 'Seven Celestials'?"

"Replying to the Temple Master Senior," Zhou Chun said, "After discussing the matter with my elders, the elders of the family all feel that the risk is too great and do not wish for me to take such a risk."

Zhou Chun said this, looked up at Master Qingwei for a moment, and immediately lowered his head, "Even after my persuasion, they unanimously believe that unless Temple Master Senior can provide me with a means to save my life and escape in the presence of Golden Core Stage Cultivators, they do not agree for me to risk myself on the battlefield!"

Hearing this reply, Master Qingwei did not show obvious anger but instead looked at him calmly and asked, "Is that your condition, Little Friend?"

"I wouldn't dare to discuss conditions with Temple Master Senior and I am well aware that I do not have the qualifications to do so, but this is the unanimous opinion of the family elders, and I cannot disobey," Zhou Chun replied with utmost respect, presenting himself as having no choice.

Saying the most submissive words while making the most ruthless moves, Zhou Chun was undoubtedly in such a situation now.

He had long felt the Green Lotus Temple's wariness and veiled malice towards the Zhou Family.

This cooperation with the Green Lotus Temple was likely to be the last honeymoon period for both parties.

As such, he naturally aimed to maximize the benefits he could gain.

Even at the risk of truly offending Master Qingwei!

In the current state of war, as much as Master Qingwei might dislike his approach, she would not dare to harm him or the Zhou Family when she still needed him.

As for settling scores after the war had ended,

Given the current situation of the war, who knew when it would end, and by then, the Zhou Family might not be such an easy target for the Green Lotus Temple to erase anymore.

At this point, Master Qingwei seemed to sense Zhou Chun's firm will.

After staring at him for a long while, she finally nodded and said, "Very well, since that is the case, I shall agree to your conditions. I will lend you a Fourth Order low-grade Puppet equivalent to a Golden Elixir Early Phase Cultivator for your protection!"

Hearing her words, Zhou Chun's heart instantly leapt with joy, and he quickly thanked her, "Thank you, Temple Master Senior. I will do my utmost for the Green Lotus Temple on the battlefield to not disappoint your great expectations!"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing his words, Master Qingwei spoke indifferently, "Don't be too quick to thank me. I can lend you this Fourth Order low-grade Puppet, but you must also swear a Heart Demon Oath, ensuring that if you do not rank among the 'Seven Celestials,' you shall never succeed in Core Formation for the rest of your life!"
