Chapter 695: Chapter 355: Wood Charm Submits, Heading to the Snow Plains [Subscribe Please]

Hongyu Peak Stronghold.

Although Zhou Chun noticed the problem in time and took measures to retain people,

the temptation of the Foundation Establishment Pill was simply too great.

Many young Loose Cultivators, still harboring hopes, did not want to miss this rare opportunity and set off for the snowfields despite attempts to keep them.

Their departure undoubtedly had a great impact on the stronghold.

Because of their departure, the remaining Cultivators had to undertake much heavier tasks, and life was no longer as carefree as before.

Therefore, it was necessary for Zhou Chun to provide a monthly allowance of Spirit Coins to each person.

Without this “overtime pay,” these Loose Cultivators certainly wouldn’t be willing to spend so much time guarding the “Spirit Cleansing Pavilion.”

“Pay attention to the news, see why Snow Essence Palace suddenly issued such a reward, and increase the treatment for recruitment. Nemers who join the stronghold will start receiving the subsidy from the first month and receive an extra ten Spirit Coins after half a year!”

In thenference hall, Zhou Chun, with furrowed brows, issued orders to Fu Changqing and the other two.

After the three left, he began to look up information on the Snow Crystal Worm.

Han Yuan from Thousand Spirit Sect had once spent many years undever in Yang Kingdom and hadnducted research on the Snow Crystal Worm, a Demon Insect that exists on the snowfields of Yang Kingdom.

Zhou Chun quickly found the information on this Demon Insect from the bestiary left by Han Yuan.

Arding to the annotations in the bestiary, the Snow Crystal Worm is a special type of Demon Insect that is unique to the snowfield environment. It resembles an earthworm in appearance, is snow white all over, and likes to move around in the snow and ice. It only possibly appears on the snow surface when a blizzard hits.

This type of Demon Insect has nombat ability, but its ability to escape is incredibly strong.

Just as Wood Charm can merge with trees, they can easily burrow into thick snow or ice layers, and when they hide motionless in the snow, even the Divine Sense of Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators can hardly detect any anomaly.

Therefore, to catch this kind of Demon Insect is very difficult; one can basically only try their luck during a blizzard.

This is also the reason why Snow Essence Palace, despite being located right on the snowfields and having tens of thousands of inner and outer disciples at theirmmand, still issued a bounty to purchase these Demon Insects.

But even Han Yuan, who was quite research-oriented towards Demon Insects, didn’t know the unknown valuable uses of the Snow Crystal Worm.

After all, Han Yuan’s main ambition was to cultivate a type of Demon Insect with strongmbat abilities, and the Snow Crystal Worm’s characteristics of only being able to survive and be active in the snowfields and ice fields made it difficult for him to be interested in researching this type of Demon Insect further.

“I hope this matter will pass quickly!”

With a soft sigh in his heart, Zhou Chun put away the Classics and no longerncerned himself with this matter.

Not two months had passed when Lin Wan’er returned safely to the Hongyu Peak Stronghold and brought back a family letter for Zhou Chun.

The letter was written by Zhou Jiarui and mainly described the various events that had occurred in Jingguo Country and the Zhou Family during the year and more he had been away.

Only three things in the letter were of interest to Zhou Chun.

First, the Zhou Family Cultivators in Longxing Valley had relocated to the new stronghold “Jade Mining Mountain,” and the exploitation of the Spirit Jade Vein had been scheduled.

Snd, Zhou Zhengbo, a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator of the Zhou Family, had married a female Cultivator from the Elixir Li Family, marking the first intermarriage between the two major families after migrating to Jingguo Country.

This matter had also received the approval andnsent of Zhou Mingde.

Third, the Green Lotus Temple suddenly issued a “Taxation Order,” demanding all Cultivation families under itsmmand in three states to pay a tax based on their number of Family Cultivators to the Green Lotus Temple.

The tax rate was not very high; Qi Refinement Realm Cultivators needed to pay ten Spirit Coins each, Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators needed to pay one hundred Spirit Coins each, and those in the Purple Mansion Phase were exempt.

Arding to this calculation, the Zhou Family would have to pay just over four thousand Spirit Coins.

Frankly, such “Taxation Orders” were not unusual; many large sects would sometimesllect taxes from the Cultivation families under them.

But the Green Lotus Temple had not done so for over a hundred years, and their sudden taxation made it difficult not to overthink.

Zhou Chun was also unclear about what exactly the Green Lotus Temple intended to do, but as Zhou Mingde had said at the time, the Zhou Family, with its size,uld only go with the flow and was powerless to change anything.

So after reading the family letter, he did not think too much about it.

The return of Lin Wan’er allowed him to revert to his previous life routine, freeing him from worrying too much about the stronghold’s affairs.

Time slowly passed, and five months later, Zhou Chun’s patientntest with the Wood Charm finally paid off.

After more than two years of torment, the Wood Charm finallyuld not bear the torture and chose to submit and admit defeat.

Zhou Chun then succeeded in forming antract with it and made it his fourth Spirit Pet.

With the successful subjugation of the Wood Charm, Zhou Chun alsonsidered one of his worries resolved, and he achieved freedom of action.

He immediatelyuldn’t wait to take the Wood Charm to the deep mountains and old forests of Dayun Nation to test its ability to search for medicine and its Divine Skills.

Returning to the forest, the Wood Charm was also very excited.

Having been tormented by Zhou Chun for over two years, its Essence Energy was severely depleted, and now, returning to the forest, it immediately began to replenish its Essence Energy by absorbing the vitality of those ancient trees.

The older the ancient trees in the forest, the more vigorous and powerful their vitality, as long as they have not been plagued by pests or diseases.

And the Wood Charm naturally has the ability to draw on the vitality of ancient trees for healing.
