Chapter 105: Ingenious Methods
In the exquisite box, there was indeed a pill, but it was a first-grade low-grade Qi-nourishing Pill.
Chen Zhaonian's eyes were full of hostility, and his aura was fluctuating. He glared at Zhou Yonghan under his feet, and laughed in anger, saying three times, "Good! Good! Good? Your Zhou family is really capable, and actually stole the sky and changed the day in public!"
"Ahem... Hehe, how can my Zhou family's things be so easy to snatch? This foundation-building pill will definitely become... the seed of the destruction of your Chen family and the Ma family..."
Zhou Yonghan's voice was hoarse, his breath was weak, and he looked at Chen Zhaonian with a faint smile, and he was already close to death.
"Destroy my Chen family?"
Chen Zhaonian snorted coldly, his eyes were full of indifference, and his voice was cold: "Before that, I, Chen Zhaonian, will find the remnants of your Zhou family and completely exterminate you!"
As soon as the voice fell, clang!
The spear nailed down, making a light sound, passing through the center of the throat.
The last member of the "Yong" generation of the Zhou family in Tianchi Mountain ended his life, and the era of the "Yong" generation ended.
Chen Zhaonian's eyes were gloomy, and Zhou Yonghan's last words also made him feel a little depressed.
He couldn't help but recall the two teenagers he met in Tiemu Mountain. They were only in their twenties and had already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, and they even escaped from the hunting of the foundation-building masters.
Such strength made him feel flustered.
If this generation of Zhou family descendants were allowed to grow up, he knew very well that it would be a very troublesome thing.
"The Zhou family... must not be allowed to recuperate, and must be rooted out, otherwise there will be endless troubles."
Pulling out the spear and shaking off the blood, Chen Zhaonian's thoughts were suppressed, and his mind was constantly churning.
Recalling every detail from the auction venue, he tried to find the time when the Zhou family might transfer the foundation-building pill.
Unfortunately, in his memory, every detail of the Zhou family was under surveillance, and there was no possibility of secretly doing anything.
But this foundation-building pill just disappeared like that...
...
A pile of rocks in a canyon.
Two black-robed figures crawled out, wiped the blood from the corners of their mouths calmly, and revealed a young face.
"Brother, where is the thing?"
"It's with me."
"Okay, let's go back to Shenlin Mountain."
The two quickly sank into the vast forest and disappeared completely after a few breaths.
This action was never participated by ten people, but 12 people.
Zhou Daobai and Zhou Daocheng hid in the dark, and as pursuers, they successfully completed the handover of the foundation-building pill with the seventh elder Zhou Shourong.
This matter was arranged very secretly, and no one else knew about it except the clan leader Zhou Yonghan and the seventh elder Zhou Shourong.
Even before the death of the two Chang-generation clan elders, they firmly believed that the box in their hands contained the real foundation-building pill.
But in fact, the foundation-building pill had already escaped the center of the competition when no one noticed it.
...
Half a month later.
Zhou Daobai and Zhou Daocheng handed the blood-stained foundation-building pill to the head of the family, Zhou Changyi.
Zhou Changyi's hands couldn't stop shaking, and he carefully opened the box. A round and plump pill with a faint purple aura and golden lines on the surface appeared in front of him.
His pupils couldn't stop trembling slightly, and Zhou Changyi's strength seemed to be drained. He sat down on the stone chair with a "pop".
"Grandpa!"
Zhou Daocheng hurriedly got up and wanted to help, but was stopped by Zhou Changyi: "It's okay, how are the clan leaders...?"
Zhou Daocheng and Zhou Daobai looked at each other, shook their heads silently, and said: "I don't know, we will leave directly after getting the foundation-building pill."
Zhou Changyi smiled bitterly, his heart was like a mirror.
What will be the final result? How many people will die for this foundation-building pill? Can the clan leader survive?
The answer to all this was destined at the beginning of the plan, but when he really faced the result, he still hoped for a glimmer of hope.
The clan leader in the foundation-building period, plus three ninth-level Qi-refining elders, in exchange for a foundation-building pill!
This is already the best result.
…
For a long time, Zhou Changyi sat alone in the dark cave, staring at the foundation-building pill.
There was desire, resentment, and struggle... The messy thoughts intertwined together and finally merged into a long sigh.
The Zhou family in Tianchi Mountain has come to this point in just half a year.
There are only two ninth-level Qi-refining strongmen left. As the head of the family, Zhou Changyi has mixed feelings.
"Who should I give this foundation-building pill to, Daobai... or Daocheng?"
Zhou Changyi spent almost the whole night thinking about this question, but he didn't get an answer for a long time.
Zhou Daobai has a higher talent, and as the eldest brother of the Dao generation, he has a calm and introverted personality, but he also has a shrewd and sharp edge.
Whether as the head of the family or as the new clan leader, he is the most suitable candidate.
Zhou Daocheng, on the other hand, was deep-minded and difficult to fathom, had many secrets, and was a rare formation master, so he was also full of infinite possibilities.
And no matter which one he chose, he had to consider the other person's thoughts.
Until the next morning.
A message reached Zhou Changyi's ears.
"Master, Daocheng returned to Bailin Lake overnight yesterday, and asked me to bring you a message."
"What?"
"He will go on his own path to build his foundation!"
Zhou Changyi's eyes trembled, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly. This once inconspicuous grandson was more thoughtful and thoughtful than he had imagined.
To give in in such a decision is not only to give dignity to the dilapidated family, but also to give absolute confidence in oneself.
…
Zhou Daocheng returned to Bailin Ancient overnight. On the one hand, he really did not want to compete with his eldest brother for the Foundation Establishment Pill. On the other hand, he had no intention of becoming the head and head of the Zhou family.
The eldest brother Zhou Daobai is calm and thoughtful, while the fourth brother Zhou Daoqi is smooth and philistine. They are very suitable to serve as the patriarch and head of the family respectively.
As for Zhou Daocheng, it would be better for him to stay in Bailin Lake in peace and contentment, hiding in the dark and growing secretly.
Besides, with a large number of trump cards, he might not be able to buy a foundation-building pill by himself, and it wouldn't even take him long to collect enough spirit stones.
Especially in the future, there is also a huge business plan being perfected.
Once the cooperation with the Spirit Snake Sect can be truly realized, the benefits will be extremely huge, and even the identity, status and strength will also increase.
It's just that the Spirit Snake Sect is still making preparations, busy acquiring stores and looking for suitable partners.
"It seems that we can talk to the Spirit Snake Sect in the near future. My Zhou family will be responsible for refining weapons, and for elixir refining, we can talk to the Zhu family... The threats from the Chen family and Ma family are too great, and we must move faster."
Zhou Daocheng thought secretly in his heart and had already made a decision.
He also believes that a business alliance with the five immortal cultivation skills of alchemy, weapon refining, talismans, formations, and beast control as its core must have extremely high potential.
I just hope everything develops as expected.
…
On the third day of returning to Bailin Lake.
Zhou Daocheng was about to take the initiative to talk to the Spirit Snake Sect, but he didn't expect the other party to come to him.
