Chapter 1391: Chapter 562: The Missing Zhou Yuanlian [Subscribe Requested]

At the beginning, Zhou Chun marked on the second layer of the “Light Sword Art” that only those who have mastered the second layer of the sword technique could observe the Sword Grinding Stone. His original intention was merely to inspire the clan members and select those with talent for sword cultivation.

In reality, the Sword Grinding Stone was used by Shen Jianxing, a Golden Core Late Stage sword cultivator who had comprehended Sword Intent. It serves as an inspiration for cultivators to comprehend Sword Intent, and it is not something that Zhou Zhiqian, who is at the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage, can access.

Rashly observing such a treasure is not only unhelpful, but indeed harmful.

Therefore, after explaining the situation to Zhou Zhiqian, Zhou Chun naturally said, “My words are always valid. If you succeed in opening your Purple Mansion in the future, you can come and observe the Sword Grinding Stone!”

After speaking, he advised the thoughtful junior in front of him, “Moreover, the most important aspect of the path of the sword cultivator lies in debating and sparring with other sword cultivators, honing your Sword Qi and skills in sword duels. If you genuinely want to pursue this path and achieve something, you might need to embark on your journey early!”

“I understand, thank you for the guidance, Clan Leader. I will apply to the clan to go out for travel in a few days!”

Zhou Zhiqian expressed gratitude towards Zhou Chun with a bow, and then prepared to turn and leave.

But at this moment, Zhou Chun spoke again.

“Wait a moment.”

Seeing Zhou Chun first call out to stop Zhou Zhiqian, he then patted his storage pouch and handed over a few Third Order Talismans, “Take these talismans. If you encounter danger on the road, don’t hesitate to use treasures. You can abandon any external possessions as long as you can ensure your life!”

Zhou Chun has always been generous in helping and supporting talented and ambitious juniors.

Since Zhou Zhiqian indeed has talent in the path of sword cultivation and dares to strive and temper himself, Zhou Chun will certainly bestow protective items to ensure he does not easily fall or perish.

“Thank you, Clan Leader, for the treasures. I will definitely remember your teachings!”

Joy flashed in Zhou Zhiqian’s eyes as he accepted the talismans with gratitude, expressed his thanks with a respectful bow, and then confidently walked out of the cave.

After Zhou Zhiqian left, Zhou Zhiying suddenly blinked her bright eyes and looked at Zhou Chun, saying, “Master, it seems like you don’t quite have faith in Brother Zhiqian?”

“Oh, why do you say that?”

Zhou Chun, intrigued, looked at the disciple.

Zhou Zhiying replied earnestly, “It’s simple. If you truly had faith in Brother Zhiqian, you wouldn’t have given him talismans. You should have given him a Talisman Treasure. I heard that the power of a Talisman Treasure is much stronger than a talisman!”

Hearing her words, Zhou Chun could not help but smile wryly as he said, “I said so, little girl, what profound opinion do you have!”

Then he flicked the girl’s forehead from a distance, scolding, “What do you know, little girl? Although Talisman Treasures are powerful, with his Foundation Establishment Initial Stage cultivation level, how much of its power could he actually utilize? In reality, the lower-grade Third Order Talismans I gave him are far more practical!”

He looked at the disciple, poorly amused, and taught her, “And do you think Talisman Treasures are something you can just pick up by the roadside like cabbages? Giving such a treasure to a Foundation Establishment Initial Stage cultivator is more harmful than beneficial, opening the door to disaster!”

“Oh, is that really the case?”

Zhou Zhiying nodded in contemplation, though it was unclear if she truly understood.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun naturally intended to educate his disciple well, letting her understand the value of wealth and goods!

Three months later, Zhou Zhiqian did indeed apply to the clan to travel, formally leaving the family to embark on the path of honing his swordsmanship.

According to the Zhou Family’s rules, once a core clan member or elder decides to travel and is away from the family for a long time, their respective family benefits and treatments are suspended during their absence.

If it weren’t for Zhou Chun’s advice, Zhou Zhiqian might not have made this decision so quickly, especially since he had only just succeeded in Foundation Establishment and was not very well off.

Months passed, and one day Zhou Chun suddenly received a letter from Fengguo. After reading the letter, he couldn’t help but sigh, his expression slightly complex.

It turned out that the Ancestor of the You Family, a Golden Core Stage cultivator, had passed away after sitting and transforming. The letter invited Zhou Chun to attend the ancestor’s funeral.

The You Family’s move was evidently to use the Zhou Family’s power to deter others from taking advantage of the You Family due to the loss of their ancestor.

But in Zhou Chun’s view, this move was ultimately ineffective.

The Zhou Family and the You Family indeed had been close for a thousand years, but since the Sanjue Sect split, the ties between the two families have gradually thinned.

Even when the You Family and the Li Family “returned home with glory” and reoccupied the Spirit Mountain Blessed Land of Three Immortals Mountain, the Zhou Family only casually sent an elder over.

Moreover, since these two families returned to Fengguo, the interactions among the three families have once again decreased.

This kind of thing cannot be concealed. Someone truly intending to target the You Family will easily find out by conducting a brief investigation.

However, after some thought, Zhou Chun still visited Zhou Mingde, discussing the matter with him.

Somewhat unexpectedly, Zhou Mingde, upon learning of the event, expressed the intention to visit Three Immortals Mountain and attend the funeral of the Ancestor of the You Family.

Zhou Chun, upon a little reflection, understood Zhou Mingde’s thoughts, and naturally would not impede this elder’s desire to fulfill his longing to “return home in glory.”
