Chapter 478: Chapter 252: Arrangement, News of a Great Victory [Subscribe Please]_2

“Senior Zhou, do you mean…”

Mo Renyi looked at Zhou Chun with a mixture of joy and shock, not fully understanding his meaning.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun explained indifferently, “My Zhou Family has always adopted some individuals with Spirit Root Aptitude from the secular world to serve as servants and train them. For some of the more dangerous tasks in the future, these people will be the first to be deployed.”

“If the Zhou Family is to help Taoist Friend Xu remove the Evil Qi from his body for free, then he will have to become a servant for the Zhou Family!”

To call them servants, in fact, means they are the family’s enforcers and sacrificial warriors.

Mo Renyi understood this principle as well.

“This…”

He looked at Zhou Chun with hesitant eyes and couldn’t help but say in a low voice, “Senior, may I discuss this with Fulu first?”

“Do as you please.”

Zhou Chun waved his hand, indicating that he was not concerned about it.

So Mo Renyi pulled aside the still somewhat confused Xu Fu to explain the meaning of “servant” to him.

Of course, to avoid offending Zhou Chun, he spoke somewhat tactfully, without actually uttering the words “sacrificial warrior,” but he did explain to Xu Fu the various dangers he might encounter as a servant in the Zhou Family.

Zhou Chun, however, interjected at this point, “Taoist Friend Mo need not be so circumspect. Such matters inherently require mutual consent, Zhou has never forced anyone to agree to become a sacrificial warrior for the Zhou Family!”

He then looked sternly at the young Xu Fu and said, “Young Friend Xu, Zhou can assure you that once you become a servant of the Zhou Family, you will certainly often venture into dangerous encounters with Demon Beasts and battles with other cultivators. It is very likely that you will die at the hands of those enemies!”

“Of course, if you can emerge as the victor in these battles, then the Zhou Family will not mistreat those who have made contributions to the family. Elixirs, Magic Artifacts, Cultivation Techniques, and secret techniques will not be withheld from you!”

Some people may want to take advantage of others’ ignorance to make them work for them, but Zhou Chun is not that kind of person.

The Spirit Root Aptitude of Xu Fu is indeed good, but the Zhou Family does not have to have him at all costs.

Therefore, Zhou Chun does not need to resort to deception to make people work for him and the Zhou Family.

What he wants is someone who, knowing full well the dangers ahead, still dares to forge ahead. Such a person is worthy of the Zhou Family’s real investment in nurturing.

And now, after listening to the words of Mo Renyi and Zhou Chun, Xu Fu, who had just turned twelve not long ago, surprisingly made his decision quickly.

He immediately knelt on the ground before Zhou Chun and said with a firm tone, “Senior, I am willing to devote myself to serving as your servant!”

“Oh? Are you sure? You truly won’t regret this?”

Zhou Chun narrowed his eyes slightly, gazing at the boy on the ground, observing every change in his expression and eyes.

Despite his gaze, the young Xu Fu also clenched his mouth and firmly responded, “Yes, I will not regret it!”

“Well then, from now on, you will stay with the Zhou Family.”

Zhou Chun retracted his gaze and nodded in agreement, thus accepting the arrangement.

He then looked toward Mo Renyi and said, “Of course, Taoist Friend Mo, if you are willing to guard the Spirit Cleansing Pavilion for the Zhou Family, you may also cultivate near the Zhou Family.”

Upon hearing this, Mo Renyi shook his head slightly and said, “I am grateful for Senior Zhou’s generous offer, but I have long since given up the idea of cultivation and have grown accustomed to secular life; I will respectfully decline.”

“Master, you…”

The young Xu Fu’s expression changed slightly, his mouth opened as if he wanted to say something.

But Mo Renyi quickly raised his hand and stopped him from speaking.

“Fulu, there’s no need to say more. Everyone has their own ambitions, and I do not seek this path. Don’t try to persuade me anymore. Just take good care of yourself in the future.”

With that, Mo Renyi bowed to Zhou Chun and said, “I entrust Fulu to Senior Zhou from now on. I shall take my leave.”

“Taoist Friend Mo, have a safe journey.”

Zhou Chun did not try to keep him, and immediately had someone lead Xu Fu to escort Doctor Mo Renyi out of Zhou Family Mountain.

After Xu Fu reluctantly escorted Doctor Mo Renyi away and returned, Zhou Chun looked at him and said, “Come with me. I will first help you remove the Evil Qi from your body, and then I will teach you a new cultivation technique.”

Having said this, he led Xu Fu to his residence, and then entered the room by himself to fetch the Purification Stone Pot. He took out a bit of Spirit Spice from the Fragrant Musk Deer and tossed it into the pot, blending it with the water inside, and then carried the pot back out of the room.

Out in the courtyard, Zhou Chun passed the stone pot, which emanated an exotic fragrance, to Xu Fu and explained casually, “This Spirit Water has been mixed with the Spirit Spice of the Fragrant Musk Deer and Soul Washing Spirit Water. Try drinking it and see. If it doesn’t completely remove the Evil Qi from your body, I’ll think of another solution!”

Looking at the richly fragrant blue Spirit Water inside the stone pot, Xu Fu didn’t overthink it. He immediately took the pot with both hands and replied, “I shall follow your instruction, Senior.”

Then he began to gulp down the Spirit Water with big swigs.

Since there was too much Spirit Water in the pot, he could only drink less than one-third of it in one go, and Zhou Chun told him to take his time.

This was the first time Zhou Chun had offered Purification Spirit Water to someone outside the family, and the first time he had used it to remove the deeply ingrained Evil Qi in a cultivator. He was eager to know the results.

By the time Xu Fu had finished his first drink and rested, Zhou Chun looked at him and asked, “How do you feel? What’s your sensation?”

“I feel very energized, very relaxed.”

Xu Fu honestly described his feelings.

It was similar to Zhou Chun’s own experience when he had drunk the water after being tainted with Evil Qi.

With a thoughtful nod, he then said, “Then keep drinking afterwards.”

In the next two hours, Xu Fu drank the remaining Spirit Water in three separate occasions.

When he drank the last of the Spirit Water, according to what he said, the feeling of being energized and relaxed was gone, and all he was left with was a feeling of fullness in his stomach.

Zhou Chun guessed that the Evil Qi inside his body must have been completely purged.

After all, although Xu Fu had practiced outside for three years, his cultivation level was too low, and the amount of Evil Qi accumulated in his body was not at the level where several pots of Purification Spirit Water would be required to cleanse it.

This experiment undoubtedly gave Zhou Chun great confidence.

In the future, if he could ensure safety, he could also think of packaging the Purification Spirit Water and selling it specifically to remove Evil Qi from the body to benefit others.

Of course, if he really did such a thing, it couldn’t be as rough as this time; after all, the old foxes in the Cultivation World were not as easily fooled as Xu Fu.

After helping Xu Fu remove the Evil Qi from his body, Zhou Chun then took him to the Book Collection Tower to choose a basic Cultivation Technique known as Spirit Wind Art, which was especially suited for Cultivators with Wind Attribute Spiritual Root Aptitude.

Only those with Wind Attribute Spiritual Root Aptitude could practice this Spirit Wind Art. Xu Fu’s training speed would be much faster than the cultivation techniques he practiced before, and it would also assist him in casting Wind Walking Techniques.

Aside from Spirit Wind Art, which was a suitable Cultivation Technique, Zhou Chun did not give Xu Fu any special treatment, directly sending him to live with the Zhou Family’s servant staff, instructing him to train with the servants from then on.

After handling Xu Fu’s matter, Zhou Chun then returned to his normal work routine.

A couple of days passed, and news of a major victory on the Yunzhou front reached Zhou Family.

The news came from Hongya Marketplace and was not delivered by a special messenger to each family, which indicated that the upper echelons of Jingguo Country believed they had control of the situation and no longer needed to inform everyone immediately as before to boost morale.

According to the news, the battle at Fulong Stronghold ultimately ended with a significant victory for the Jingguo Country Allied Army.

Not only did the battle thoroughly crush and repel the invading Beast Tide Army that was attacking Jingguo Country, but it also heavily damaged the leading Demon Beasts and Dragon Transformation Sect responsible for driving the Beast Tide.

Not only were five rank four Demon Beasts slain, but also six Golden Core Stage Cultivators, and even two rank four Flood Dragons, specifically the mid-rank Ink Flood Dragon that had previously escaped from the Black Dragon branch, and the lower-rank White Cloud Flood Dragon from the White Dragon branch.

Furthermore, the rank three Demon Beasts suffered heavy losses, with over fifty killed, and the remaining few protectors at the Purple Mansion Phase of the Dragon Transformation Sect were also killed in the teens.

Conversely, the Jingguo Country Allied Forces only lost three Golden Core Stage Cultivators and fewer than thirty Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators!
