Chapter 704: Zilong True Person
Being the Clan Leader of the Family has its perks. As long as it's not some particularly difficult item to collect, a single command can send a multitude of clan members running errands for you.
Previously, even when Zhou Chun was a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, to gather the Spiritual Medicine needed for refining the Ancient Dust Pill, he had to scour various marketplaces individually.
Now, with just a command, the Zhou Family's Golden Elixir Elders and Purple Mansion Cultivators would swiftly take action to help him collect materials from different countries.
Moreover, when some forces learned that they were gathering materials for him as a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, even if they wouldn't lower their prices, they mostly wouldn't dare raise them either, nor commit acts of murder and theft afterwards.
With the Zhou clan members diligently collecting from multiple sources, within a mere three years, they had gathered materials for three furnaces of the Ancient Dust Pill for Zhou Chun.
Under the personal hand of Luo Qingni, the Alchemy Grandmaster, each batch produced eight pills per furnace, totaling twenty-four Spirit Pills.
The Third Order Medium-grade Ice Moon Toad only needs to slowly digest these Spirit Pills to attempt to break through to the Fourth Order realm.
Zhou Chun also possesses the Demon Core left by the Fourth Order Moonview Ice Toad from years ago, which he can use to assist the Ice Moon Toad's attempt to break through to the Fourth Order, making the success rate highly promising.
After all, the attributes and bloodlines of both creatures are highly compatible, and the Ice Moon Toad itself has the potential to ascend to the Fourth Order.
Thus, as long as one Ice Moon Toad successfully advances to the Fourth Order, Zhou Chun's Secret Technique, Holy Spirit Nine Transformations - Moon Toad Chapter, can continue to be cultivated.
However, something unexpected to Zhou Chun was that he initially thought Flying Snow Palace would probe after the loss of the Ice Moon Toad.
But it turned out otherwise.
It's unclear whether they held Ice Hell Sect accountable for the theft, or after investigating, realized they couldn't afford to provoke him and abandoned the idea.
No matter the case, it's good news for him, eliminating a hassle.
One day, a Golden Core Stage Cultivator claiming to be a messenger from Tianyi Sect arrived at the Zhou Family with an invitation to the "Tianyi Grand Assembly".
Zhou Chun learned of this and personally received the Tianyi Sect messenger in his cave abode.
"Junior Yi Shaofeng of Tianyi Sect pays respects to Chunjun True Person."
In Zhou Chun's cave abode, a young man in a white robe, led in by Zhou Daoyi, immediately bowed deeply to express his respect.
Seeing this, Zhou Chun waved his sleeve and said, "Taoist Friend Yi, there's no need for excessive courtesy, please be seated."
"Thank you, True Person, for the seat."
Yi Shaofeng respectfully replied and then sat down beside him.
After scrutinizing this youthful Golden Elixir Early Phase Cultivator, Zhou Chun said, "The renowned Tianyi Sect is known even to Cultivators from remote areas like me; I have heard from various Taoist friends about the rumors concerning the 'Tianyi Grand Assembly', and have long looked forward to it."
"Being esteemed by Tianyi Sect, and having Taoist Friend Yi deliver an invitation to the assembly is my honor."
Pausing slightly, Zhou Chun continued, "However, Taoist Friend Yi might be aware, my family's foundation is thin, and no one has attended the 'Tianyi Grand Assembly' before. I am unaware of the procedures and taboos, and to avoid disgrace at the assembly, I ask Taoist Friend Yi to elaborate on its intricacies!"
Upon hearing his words, Yi Shaofeng promptly stood up and replied, "That's the junior's obligation. Since the senior is participating in the assembly for the first time, the junior will surely inform the senior of pertinent details."
He then detailed the relevant aspects of the "Tianyi Grand Assembly".
The information he conveyed was mostly in line with what Zhou Chun had gathered from other Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, but was more thorough, including matters that other Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators deemed unnecessary to mention.
For example, the current "Tianyi Grand Assembly" is divided into two parts. The first part adheres to ancient customs, where all Tianyi Sect Cultivators gather on the day for a blessing, holding a ceremony for the sect's Divinity Transformation ancestor, Tianyi Venerable.
Afterwards, Tianyi Sect's Nascent Soul Stage True Persons take turns teaching the sect disciples about cultivation and resolving their doubts encountered during their practice.
During this period, invited Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators may attend the ceremony or choose not to.
Once this part concludes, the exchange session for Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, which Zhou Chun eagerly anticipates, begins.
This session is also split into two parts. Initially, Tianyi Sect presents various rare Spiritual Objects to exchange with invited Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators for needed items.
Once all their prepared rare Spiritual Objects are exchanged and sold, it's time for the invited Nascent Soul Stage True Persons to make trades amongst themselves.
As for Zhou Chun's concern about taboos, aside from avoiding interruptions during the Tianyi Sect's blessing ceremony and abstaining from wearing bright red or purple attire, there are no special taboos.
The rules for the subsequent exchange session are similar to most other exchange gatherings.
After comprehending the detailed aspects of the "Tianyi Grand Assembly", Zhou Chun solemnly nodded at Yi Shaofeng and said, "Thank you, Taoist Friend Yi, for enlightening Zhou Mou. Please convey to the esteemed True Persons of your sect that Zhou Mou will definitely arrive on time to attend this assembly."
