Chapter 719: Chapter 367: The Way of Relaxation and Tension [Subscribe Requested]
The Golden Sword Bamboo was indeed extremely tough—so much so that Zhou Chun, who was at the early stage of the Purple Mansion Phase and had a third-rank mid-grade Magic Artifact in hand, had to strike seven times to chop it down along with its roots.
This object, nurtured by nature, would perish as soon as it was removed from the soil, leaving no possibility of transplantation.
That is why, after discovering it, Zhou Chun directly chose to chop it down roughly.
Having chopped down the entire Spirit Bamboo along with its roots, Zhou Chun did not bother trimming the branches; he just stowed it into his Storage Pouch.
After finishing this task, he immediately sat down firmly on the ground, cross-legged, and circulated his Golden Cauldron Profound Technique to briefly cultivate.
He soon shook his head, stood up, and swiftly left the area.
Originally, he had thought that since the Golden Sword Bamboo grew here, there might be a vein of Spirit Gold buried beneath.
But during his cultivation just now, he hadn’t drawn in an especially rich and pure Golden Qi from the area, which was ample evidence that there was no Spirit Gold vein beneath.
Now, Zhou Chun found himself somewhat nostalgic for the days when he was undercover in the Dragon Transformation Sect, cultivating within the premises of the Golden Dragon Branch Altar.
The Golden Cauldron Profound Art he practiced required the absorption of Golden Qi to facilitate cultivation, but Zhou Family’s Jiufeng Ridge lacked areas rich in this vital essence.
Therefore, Zhou Chun had always relied on purchasing Golden Qi to aid his cultivation.
However, now that he had advanced to the Purple Mansion Phase, the amount of Golden Qi he consumed during his daily practice had increased considerably. By his calculations, the Spirit Coins he spent just on buying Golden Qi every year amounted to over a thousand.
Such a substantial additional expense was always painful for Zhou Chun to think about.
He might have previously felt only in certain aspects that the Zhou Family Mountain was somewhat too small, but it was only after he had opened his Purple Mansion that he truly realized how inadequate Jiufeng Ridge was—it simply couldn’t meet the cultivational needs of the high-level cultivators in his family.
Setting aside enormous establishments like the Green Lotus Temple, even the Su Family Mountain in Jiangzhou, which Zhou Chun was most familiar with besides his own family’s, was several notches above Jiufeng Ridge.
The Su Family Mountain covered an area more than two and a half times larger than the Zhou Family’s, with several spots particularly suitable for cultivators to practice their corresponding Cultivation Techniques.
For instance, the location of his Dao companion, Su Yuzhen’s, cave dwelling was graced with a natural Spiritual Spring, and the Spiritual Energy it exuded greatly benefited her cultivation.
This was one of the reasons why Su Yuzhen mostly chose to cultivate within her family’s domain.
All of these were part of the heritage of a Golden Core family, while the Zhou Family, which had already fallen from that status, was truly lacking in these areas, and not by a small margin.
The next steps the Zhou Family should take would likely be to focus on cultivating a Golden Core Stage Cultivator for the family while reclaiming their lost heritage.
Having acquired a stalk of Golden Sword Bamboo, Zhou Chun was not greedy—he immediately went to the forest he had promised the Wood Charm.
In the Wasteland Territory, there was no shortage of primeval forests like the Thousand Leaves Forest. The location Zhou Chun took the Wood Charm to was a primeval forest he had discovered during his undercover days in the Dragon Transformation Sect.
This particular primeval forest was home to many towering ancient trees reminiscent of the tropical rainforests Zhou Chun remembered from a past life.
Yu Yu Yu!
The clear and ethereal calls of an Azure Deer echoed through the woods, and as Zhou Chun had expected, the Wood Charm immediately took a liking to this environment upon arrival.
Seeing this, Zhou Chun instructed the Azure Deer, poised to frolic into the forest, “You can stay here for two months, and I’ll come to visit you after that. Remember, don’t just play around; you must also help me keep an eye out for the locations where Spiritual Medicines grow.”
By now, his cultivation had reached the Purple Mansion Phase, whereas the Wood Charm still had the strength of only a second-rank being.
Such a gap in realms was assured enough that he had no need to worry about the Wood Charm breaking free of the contract and leaving him.
Zhou Chun had personally witnessed the Wood Charm’s ability to survive in the forest, and he didn’t think there was any Demon Beast in it capable of harming the Wood Charm.
Under these circumstances, allowing the Wood Charm some freedom to live and romp about for a while was also helpful in fostering a bond between master and servant, making the Wood Charm realize that serving as a Spirit Pet wasn’t such a bad deal after all.
Of course, there had to be a limit to such matters. Zhou Chun would strictly control the extent of its freedom and wouldn’t let the Wood Charm dwell in the wilderness for extended periods.
Once he had allowed the Wood Charm to move freely in the forest, Zhou Chun returned to his family with his spoils.
Back at the family estate, Zhou Chun first reported to Zhou Mingde on his initial meeting with the Scale Frog Alien Clan’s Magician Wukulu, as well as his own thoughts on cooperation and suppression of the Alien Race.
Zhou Mingde was very supportive of his views and ideas.

After all, when it came to ruthlessness, Zhou Chun was far from matching Zhou Mingde’s determination.
Afterwards, Zhou Chun presented the Golden Sword Bamboo he had felled, much like offering a treasure.
“What a fine thing this is! A Millennium Golden Sword Bamboo like this is a rare and precious item seldom encountered—it’s very useful whether we auction it off or keep it to exchange for other rare Spiritual Objects of the same caliber in the future!” Zhou Mingde’s eyes shone brightly as he looked at the whole stalk of Golden Sword Bamboo and nodded repeatedly, “It seems you, Zhengchun, should explore the Wasteland Territory more from now on. Your chance for Core Formation might just depend on this talent for seeking Spirit Wood Spirits!”
Hearing his words, Zhou Chun also smiled in response, “That’s what I was thinking. Once the family’s situation is fully stable, I must travel far and wide and make the most of the Wood Charm’s talent for seeking spiritual affinities!”
