Chapter 1721: Chapter 646: Golden Core Late Stage
After speaking, Luo Qingni looked slightly stunned, seemingly not expecting him to ask such a question.
She gazed at Zhou Chun for a moment before regaining her composure and saying earnestly to Zhou Chun, “Taoist Friend Zhou is indeed an honest and trustworthy gentleman. Since becoming acquainted with you, I’ve always found you to be someone who keeps his promises, a truly rare and upright gentleman!”
Her tone was firm and incredibly serious, clearly her words came from the heart.
Hearing her words, Zhou Chun also felt deeply gratified, knowing that his long-standing generosity and building of connections had not been in vain.
In fact, whether he was genuinely a virtuous gentleman wasn’t important.
As long as he portrayed gentlemanly conduct in front of Luo Qingni, and made her believe him to be a virtuous gentleman, that was enough!
This wasn’t to say that he was deceiving anyone, rather, all cultivators are idealistic and self-centered, focusing on personal interests.
For Luo Qingni, as long as Zhou Chun showed deep emotions and kept promises when interacting with her, he was a Taoist friend worth fostering a deeper connection with.
After all, the cultivation world does not strictly define right and wrong; every cultivator is willing to swing their sword at an unrelated stranger for their own path without hesitation!
Feeling gratified at this moment, Zhou Chun lightly smiled and said, “Taoist Friend Luo’s high praise truly makes Zhou Mou feel somewhat ashamed and undeserving!”
Saying this, he earnestly looked at Luo Qingni and said, “But since Taoist Friend Luo trusts Zhou Mou so much, Zhou Mou has a proposal. I wonder if it’s appropriate to discuss it?”
“Taoist Friend Zhou, feel free to speak!”
Luo Qingni slightly raised an eyebrow, responding in a low tone.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately began to speak eloquently, “Taoist Friend Luo also knows about my family’s situation. Currently, my family has taken over the Green Lotus Mountain Range, backed by a Nascent Soul Stage True Person, making it the third largest power in Jingguo Country in a true sense.”
“If Taoist Friend Luo is willing to condescend to take the role of a guest elder in my Zhou Family, then you will no longer be a Loose Cultivator with no background.”
“Moreover, Taoist Friend Luo need not worry that joining the Zhou Family will bother you with various mundane affairs. The Zhou Family, while it may not have outstanding talent in alchemy, can still manage refining elixirs used by low and intermediary-level cultivators, ensuring you won’t be frequently required to open the furnace for the family’s alchemy.”
“What’s more important is that when Taoist Friend Luo decides to transform your elixir and form an infant in the future, Tianyuan Immortal City is definitely not a good choice. But my Zhou Family currently occupies Green Lotus Mountain Range, which can fully supply the spiritual energy required for Taoist Friend Luo’s transformation and formation.”
Upon finishing these words, Luo Qingni’s face showed a “just as expected” expression, evidently having already inferred his so-called plan.
However, Zhou Chun’s words indeed had merit, especially the last point, which made it impossible for Luo Qingni to ignore.
For cultivators transforming elixirs and form infants, it’s unlike core formation.
The spirit vein caves provided by Tianyuan Immortal City make core formation an easy task.
But for transforming elixirs and forming infants, it will affect the entire spirit vein greatly.
For example, during the process of transforming elixirs and forming infants, a cultivator will absorb and refine a vast amount of nature’s spiritual energy, drawing in all the energy within dozens of miles.
Under such circumstances, other cultivators in the area simply cannot practice, a situation Tianyuan Immortal City, with its business prosperity, obviously finds unacceptable!
Additionally, once a cultivator succeeds in transforming elixirs and forming infants, the arrival of the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation will cause great damage to the site of tribulation.
For a highly developed Immortal City like Tianyuan, the extensive damage caused by the power disseminated by the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation would incur enormous losses.
Thus, it’s essentially unfeasible for cultivators to transform elixirs and form infants in Tianyuan Immortal City.
Luo Qingni initially hadn’t taken this into account, especially since she hadn’t even reached the Golden Core Late Stage yet.
But now, after Zhou Chun’s reminder, and holding the Four Spirits Barrier-breaking Pill in her possession, she had to think about it.
Thus, upon hearing Zhou Chun’s words, she lowered her head and pondered for a while.
After contemplating for a long time, she finally raised her head to look at Zhou Chun and said, “Taoist Friend Zhou’s suggestion is indeed intriguing, and I trust your character as well. However, Qingni is ultimately accustomed to the lifestyle here in Tianyuan Immortal City and doesn’t wish to move so quickly at this time.”
“Therefore, Qingni wishes to consider this matter once her cultivation level reaches the Golden Core Late Stage. I hope Taoist Friend Zhou can understand.”
She did not decisively close the matter, leaving herself with an option.
But judging by her attitude, it was clear she wasn’t prepared to join any faction right now.
If Zhou Chun said he wasn’t disappointed, it would definitely be impossible.
However, he had long prepared for this, knowing Luo Qingni was not someone easily persuaded.
Thus, after a brief disappointment, he gracefully smiled and said, “Taoist Friend Luo makes a valid point. In any case, the doors of the Zhou Family will always be open for Taoist Friend Luo, always welcoming your addition!”
Upon hearing this, Luo Qingni also sighed in relief, and with a similar smile, responded, “Thank you for your understanding, Taoist Friend Zhou. If Qingni ever truly considers joining a faction in the future, the Zhou Family will definitely be my first choice.”
Having given Zhou Chun a promise, and comforted him afterward, Luo Qingni and Zhou Chun ceased further discussion on the topic, instead focusing on how to utilize the Four Spirits Barrier-breaking Pill to break through the barrier of the Golden Core Late Stage.
