Chapter 588: 216: Holy Land Ventures into the World? Who Hasn't Been a Gifted Child? (Seeking Monthly Tickets!!!)_2
Today, he decided to make the old man happy. After all, it was clear that he was pleased with his performance.
In fact, the Zhou Tian Great Freedom Method was merely an aid to Liang Sheng. His ancient techniques had already merged with his cultivation foundation and remained unshakeable.
In the courtyard, the independent cultivator Zi Zai was still enjoying his wine. He couldn’t help but praise the delicious food prepared by Huang Yifan. “Old Huang, your cooking skills are commendable.”
“Thank you for your praise, Great Master.”
…
Zhou Mansion.
At this moment, Zhou Ning and Zhou Shen were in Jin Quanxiu’s room, seated on either side. Zhou Ning looked at Zhou Shen in surprise.
After all, Zhou Ning did not know Zhou Shen was alive. How could he not be delighted at the “resurrection” of the Zhou Family’s Talent?
Today, outside the City Lord Mansion, the Zhou Family caught everyone’s attention. Thus, after a day, all the Immortal City Cultivators came to know about the Zhou Family.
Prior to this, no member of the Zhou Family had imagined they could become the center of attention. They hadn’t expected that their family would ever have such a day of fame.
Feeling quite moved, Zhou Ning felt a great deal of pressure as the family head. But then when he glanced at Zhou Shen, his heart filled with joy.
The Zhou family can expect to enjoy peace for thousands of years, for Zhou Shen, so young, is already close to achieving the Golden Core Complete. He definitely has the potential to reach the Nascent Soul Realm in this lifetime.
Because he has countless chances to try and correct any mistakes, he really is very young!
As for the Nascent Soul Pill, even if they have to use all of the family’s resources, it should be prioritized for Zhou Shen. Without any surprises, he will likely be the first Nascent Soul Master of the Zhou Family in Immortal City.
Zhou Ning was grateful towards Liang Sheng when he thought about this. Thankfully, the senior took a liking to Zhou Shen. Who could have imagined that Zhou Shen would have such a fortunate encounter, obtaining a top-grade spiritual armor that allowed him to survive a deadly situation?
Of course, he still had a worry in his heart. Looking at Jin Quanxiu, he softly asked, “Ancestor, after today, will the City Lord Mansion really not take revenge on us?”
“They will, but they dare not bully us excessively. From now on, there will only be fair competition. Is the Zhou Family afraid of open challenges?”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ning immediately shook his head. At this time, Zhou Shen also spoke, “Patriarch rest assured, the City Lord Mansion will not act recklessly. Otherwise, we would have seen the City Lord today.”
Zhou Ning actually knew about this already. After all, under the principle of ‘Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil’, there had been no dangerous indications. He had only been subconsciously scared due to the longstanding prestige of the City Lord Mansion.
“However, moving forward, we of the Zhou Family must be careful and cautious. We must not become arrogant and aggressive. The precautions previously arranged remain unchanged. We mustn’t put all our eggs in one basket. After all, now is the Golden Era, anything can happen.”
Jin Quanxiu’s words gained Zhou Ning’s approval. Proceeding with caution was indeed better for the Zhou Family. Caution is the parent of safety.
“Ancestor, do we need to close our doors to guests in the coming days?”
Jin Quanxiu immediately shook his head.
“In this Golden Era, since we have already entered the game, we can’t hide anymore; otherwise, we would only be fooling ourselves.
You should still let the household’s disciples prepare more. The events of today prove that only strength grants you a voice in the Immortal City.”
At this moment, there was a rustle outside the Zhou mansion’s gate. The visitor made no attempt to conceal their presence.
“Ancestor….”
“Ignore them. This Seeking Truth Lineage has nothing to do with us. Even if they are descended from our lineage, that’s all in the past, pay them no mind.”
“Yes.”
Jin Quanxiu told Zhou Ning to dismiss Chen Chen who was outside, then turned his head to look at Zhou Shen, “Shen’er, from now on you must focus on your cultivation and strive to reach the Nascent Soul Realm as soon as possible. I sense that the peace in the Immortal City will not last much longer.”
“Master, rest assured, your disciple understands.”
With Zhou Ning gone, Zhou Shen did not hide any longer and addressed Jin Quanxiu as ‘Master’. He agreed with Jin Quanxiu’s words, it was indeed the Golden Era now.
The competition between the gifted children was bound to be explosive.
…
Immortal City.
A hidden place.
At this moment, Chen Chen had an ugly expression on his face. The Zhou Family plainly did not want to meet him, indicating their unwillingness to have any connection with the Seeking Truth Lineage.
But in the eyes of the City Lord Mansion, regardless of how they tried to disentangle themselves, such actions were extremely naive. Even if they didn’t contact him, would the fact that they were descended from the Seeking Truth Lineage change?
However, Pei Linyu calmed him down at this time, “Junior brother, don’t rush. This matter takes time. They have been apart from our Seeking Truth Lineage for too long, but I believe that they are indeed of Covered Sky bloodline, so one day, they will definitely change their minds.”
“We can only hope so. Brother Pei, I wonder if there’s any news from the Elder? Are we involved in the matter of the City Lord Mansion?”
Pei Linyu shook his head.
“I don’t know. But no matter what, the Zhou Family’s actions today have made the City Lord Mansion be on guard against hurting the mouse for fear of breaking the vase, so they should not target us for the time being.
Furthermore, Su Wu, the actual manager of the City Lord Mansion, is dead. That ordinary man Feng Yuan must buy some time.
We have to take advantage of this period and quickly look for the subsidiary veins of the Church of All Beings. Once we find them, we may be able to unravel more mysteries.”
“Brother, rest assured, I’ve already asked Little Five to infiltrate the Immortal City cultivators in order to search for clues about the All Living Beings Sect.”
“That’s good.”
After Chen Chen bid farewell and left, looking at the vast night sky before him, Pei Linyu felt a touch of melancholy in his heart.
Would this Golden Era bring a chance for the Seeking Truth Lineage to see the dawn?
