After inspecting the Magic Artifact that Zhou Chun had brought out, Zhu Wuya looked at him with a grave expression and shared his opinion.

Repairing a Magic Artifact made by another was no small challenge for a Refinement Master.

Zhou Chun was aware of this, so after hearing Zhu Wuya's words, he nodded in understanding and said, "That's all right, Senior Zhu, please feel free to give it a try. Whether you succeed or fail, I can accept the outcome."

Having said that, he added, "Regarding the materials needed for the repairs, I hope Senior can advance the cost for the time being. I am willing to barter with Dharma Treasure Spirit Materials!"

Upon hearing his words, Zhu Wuya immediately laughed and said, "Little Friend Zhou is too polite. It's just a Magic Artifact repair; how much material could it possibly require? Though I am not extremely wealthy, I do have enough to cover such expenses!"

As a Refinement Master, while Dharma Treasure Spirit Materials of that level were not easy to come by, he undoubtedly had stockpiled various kinds of Spirit Gold used in Third Order Magic Artifact making, both in his personal inventory and in the Zhu Family's treasure house. If necessary, he could also acquire them through other channels within his network.

Since he now intended to forge a good relationship with Zhou Chun, he wouldn't be miserly about investing the required resources.

Zhou Chun felt that he had made his intentions clear and didn't further dispute the matter.

After all, the main concern in repairing a Magic Artifact lay in the Refinement Master's skill. All Zhou Chun needed to do was to owe Zhu Wuya a favor.

Later on, a simple gift of Dharma Treasure Spirit Material would suffice to cover the material loss and expenses.

However, just as he was about to bid goodbye to Zhu Wuya and leave, Zhou Chun seemed to remember something and suddenly said, "Oh, I also have an item here that I would like Senior Zhu to appraise and determine its possible uses."

He then took out the black pearl left behind by the Fourth Order Zombie after it had been refined and explained its origin to Zhu Wuya.

Lin Hongyu had once mentioned that some Refinement Masters might know the use of such an item.

Zhou Chun, not wanting to trouble two people for two matters, decided to simply consult Zhu Wuya about it.

After listening to Zhou Chun's request, Zhu Wuya looked at him with surprise and said, "This is indeed a peculiar item, let me take a closer look."

He then took the black pearl and examined it carefully, even going so far as to burn it with his True Fire for testing after getting Zhou Chun's permission.

After such an appraisal, Zhu Wuya slightly shook his head and said, "I cannot discern its purpose. The material of this item itself is as hard as many Spirit Materials for Dharma Treasures, and it contains both a pure Corpse Fiend Qi and the power of lightning and fire. There's also another type of special power that is difficult to identify. With such a complex composition, it is definitely not suitable for making a standard Magic Artifact. Perhaps some Demon Path Artifact Refiners would have a method to deal with it."

Hearing this response, Zhou Chun couldn't help but smile wryly and said, "If even Master Zhu says so, it seems this item can only be kept as a curious novelty."

Then he took back the black pearl that Zhu Wuya had returned to him and bowed his farewell.

Half a month after Zhou Chun returned to Jiufeng Ridge from the Zhu Family, the news of his slaying of the Corpse Fiend General Jiang Zhong was finally announced by the Heavenly Spirit Alliance.

As expected, the moment the news broke out, it caused a major sensation.

This was the first time that a Demon Cultivator listed among the "Seven Primordial Fiends" had been killed by a same-tier Cultivator from the Heavenly Spirit Alliance. The news greatly boosted the morale of the low and middle-tier Cultivators of the Alliance.

Previously, members of the "Seven Primordial Fiends" had been murdering and committing atrocities everywhere, resulting in the deaths of countless Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Purple Mansion Cultivators at their hands, to the extent that many low and middle-tier Cultivators would turn pale at the mention of these names.

On the battlefield, the mere appearance of a member from the "Seven Primordial Fiends" often caused many Cultivators of the Heavenly Spirit Legion to lose courage before the fight even began.

Now that the news of Corpse Fiend General Jiang Zhong's death at the hands of Zhou Chun was out, those Cultivators who had been traumatized psychologically felt a sense of liberation.

So the "Seven Primordial Fiends" were not invincible after all!

Once this idea took hold, their fear was no longer as intense.

On the side of the Primordial Demon Legion, although the Corpse Demon Sect was aware of Jiang Zhong's demise the moment his "Soul Lantern" went out, they had not made it public immediately but had been investigating the cause of death.

By the time their investigation had yet to yield results, the Heavenly Spirit Alliance had already announced theirs, undoubtedly dealing a blow to their morale.

However, the responses from the various groups within the Demon Path were almost identical: they staunchly refused to admit or believe that Jiang Zhong was killed by an obscure Middle Stage Purple Mansion Cultivator like Zhou Chun. They only believed that Jiang Zhong had ventured deep behind enemy lines, encountered pursuit by Golden Core Stage Cultivators, and Zhou Chun simply happened to get the killing blow!

As long as they did not acknowledge it, whatever the Heavenly Spirit Alliance said was acceptable!

Regardless of the outcome, with the release of this news, Zhou Chun undoubtedly became a person on the cusp of public attention.

Countless forces and prominent figures began to take an interest in his background, gathering information on him and the Zhou Family.

At the same time, Master Qingwei had been efficient in handling matters, and she quickly retrieved the rewards for Zhou Chun's slaying of "Jiang Zhong" and other fiends.

"This is the Nascent Soul Spirit Material 'Yin Yang Integration Spirit Pill' you asked for. Its effect on Pill Consolidation is remarkable; it can be considered one of the best Nascent Soul Spirit Materials for that purpose!"

"As for this 'Mysterious Heart Purple Return Pill,' its effects, I believe, need no further introduction from me."
