A large Water Essence Jade Vein—this was definitely the most valuable vein the Zhou Family had ever discovered thus far.
However, the difficulty of mining this vein was also substantial.
The vein was located more than five hundred zhang deep under water, and even a Qi Refinement Realm Cultivator equipped with a Water Repelling Magical Artifact would struggle to dive that deep.
In other words, to mine here, a Cultivator would need to be at least at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and also possess a high-quality Water Repelling Magical Artifact.
But once at the Foundation Establishment Stage, how many would still be willing to work as miners?
And the Zhou Family certainly couldn’t afford the luxury of employing Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators as miners.
Let alone the Zhou Family, even the Green Lotus Temple wouldn’t deploy Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators to mine for a Water Essence Jade Vein.
Thus, if this vein were discovered by another power, most would have no choice but to leave it be, merely watching it.
But just because Cultivators couldn’t reach these depths over five hundred zhang below the water surface, it doesn’t mean others couldn’t.
According to Zhou Chun’s knowledge, the first-order Magicians among the Scale Frog Alien Clan could dive to such depths.
Therefore, he could certainly cooperate with the Scale Frog Alien Clan, letting them mine for the Zhou Family.
“Next time I trade with Wukulu, I might as well bring up this matter. If he agrees, my Zhou Family will have one more source of wealth!”
Zhou Chun’s face briefly lit up with a smile as he, with the Green-Scaled Dragon Fish’s nest loot in hand, returned to the Jade Mining Mountain Base.
Back at the base, Zhou Chun fed parts of the Green-Scaled Dragon Fish’s flesh to his three Spirit Pets, while he personally processed the eyes of the fish and swallowed them whole.
Indeed, after consuming and refining the fish eyes, Zhou Chun felt a slight improvement in his vision.
However, as a Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator, this enhancement was rather limited; if a Qi Refinement Realm Cultivator had eaten them, they might have gained a talent equivalent to the Spirit Eye Secret Technique.
After consuming the fish eyes, Zhou Chun retreated to his quiet chamber to reflect on his recent fight with the Green-Scaled Dragon Fish.

The Green-Scaled Dragon Fish was strong, and if it hadn’t left the lake, Zhou Chun could have defeated it but not killed it.
Unfortunately for the beast, it coveted the Flood Dragon Bloodline within the Silver Lightning Python Baibai, and wanted to eat Baibai to purify its own bloodline, so it pursued Baibai to the sky and fell into Zhou Chun’s trap.
And Zhou Chun could ultimately kill the beast—his newly mastered secret technique, the United Heart Golden Lock, undoubtedly played the biggest role.
Once cast, this secret technique could hardly be resisted by ordinary protective barriers, and it almost completely ignored the defenses of the Demon Beast’s skin, membrane, and scale armor.
Instead, if a Cultivator were to use a shield-like Magic Artifact, it could block the golden locks, but the artififact would get locked as well.
“The Green-Scaled Dragon Fish is a third-grade lower-rank Demon Beast. A Demon Beast’s Mana is naturally not as pure and profound as a Cultivator of the same realm. After I cast my secret technique, it was relatively easy to suppress it—as long as it doesn’t escape the range of the technique, it’s estimated there won’t be a problem for a quarter of an hour,” Zhou Chun muttered to himself, methodically summarizing his experiment with the technique.
“But the technique only locks Mana, not the physical body. If the opponent is a Demon Beast, as long as it escapes the effective range of the technique in time, or interrupts my casting, the effect won’t be as strong,” he continued.
“And if the opponent is a Cultivator, they should be able to activate a Talisman after their Mana is locked, to attempt to disrupt me or make their escape.”
“Overall, although this secret technique grants me a strong control capability over Cultivators of the same level, it is not without its flaws and weaknesses,” Zhou Chun said reflectively, murmuring to himself as he made a detailed and complete summary of his secret technique’s trial.
Of course, the Green-Scaled Dragon Fish was still a Demon Beast; he would certainly need to experiment on a few other Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators from the Zhou Family.
Especially Zhou Mingde, who was at the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion Phase, and the third-grade mid-rank Demon Beast, the Fire Divine Jackal—both were excellent subjects for experimentation.
And just a few days after Zhou Chun had slain the Green-Scaled Dragon Fish, Lin Hongyu returned.
“Supreme Elder, you’ve returned so soon?”
In the Jade Mining Mountain Base, Zhou Chun looked at the returning Lin Hongyu with considerable surprise.
He had thought that negotiating with Snow Essence Palace over the Cold Jade Veins would require several back and forth discussions, not something that could be concluded in a short amount of time.
Yet Lin Hongyu had managed to complete the task in just a few months.
“I didn’t ask for much, and after a few probes, Snow Essence Palace agreed, so naturally my return was swift,” Lin Hongyu explained briefly, and then her expression turned serious, as she addressed Zhou Chun with a grave tone, “Now I have the materials I need to refine my Lifebound Dharma Treasure, and I will be entering seclusion to refine it. It will take about two to three years, and during this time, unless the Zhou Family faces a crisis of extinction, please do not disturb me!”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun first felt elation, then solemnly replied, “Junior understands, Senior, please rest assured and focus on your seclusion!”
Seeing that he grasped the significance, Lin Hongyu didn’t say anymore and immediately entered her cave dwelling within the Jade Mining Mountain Base, sealing it to begin her seclusion.
Watching this, Zhou Chun was filled with eager anticipation for her swift success.
Having reached Zhou Chun’s current stage of Cultivation, he was now aware of many aspects of the Golden Core Stage.
Like the refining of a Lifebound Dharma Treasure.
According to his knowledge, due to the unique nature of a Lifebound Dharma Treasure, the requirement for a Cultivator’s Artifact Refining skill isn’t actually very high.
Generally, with the powerful learning ability and Cultivation Level of a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, as long as they learn the art of Artifact Refining for a year or two, they can meet the skill needed to refine a Lifebound Dharma Treasure.
