But the Dharma Treasures that Zhou Chun had seen at the auction conference required a very high level of artifact refining skill.
In the Cultivation World, those Artifact Refiners capable of creating Dharma Treasures could be called Refiner Grandmasters, and their status was far beyond that of ordinary Golden Core Stage cultivators.
As far as Zhou Chun knew, excluding those Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, there was currently only one such Refiner Grandmaster in the entirety of Jingguo Country, hailing from the Sunflame Sect.
It was said that even the two Nascent Soul Stage True Persons of the Sunflame Sect treated him with great respect.
It is precisely because Dharma Treasures are difficult to refine successfully that many Golden Core Stage cultivators, if they didn’t inherit a Dharma Treasure from their ancestors, usually only have one lifebound Dharma Treasure for protection.
As for buying Dharma Treasures, with prices easily reaching millions of Spirit Coins, it’s not something ordinary Golden Core Stage cultivators could afford!
After all, the higher one’s Cultivation Level, the more places there are to spend Spirit Coins, it’s not possible to save all the Spirit Coins earned to buy Dharma Treasures.
Of course, all of this was still quite distant from Zhou Chun, and the Zhou Family currently also had a Dharma Treasure stored in the secret vault, so he wouldn’t have to worry about not having a Dharma Treasure in the event he successfully formed his Core.
Now that Lin Hongyu had returned, he could first make a trip back to his family.
After giving some instructions to Xu Fu, Zhou Chun returned to the family’s mountain gate.
Upon his return, he heard some good news that he had expected; Zhou Xinyan had succeeded in Foundation Establishment.
“Zhengchun, you’ve returned at just the right time, Xinyan has yet to choose a Cultivation Technique, so you can take him to select one,” said Zhou Jiarui, acting Clan Leader, who immediately entrusted this important task to Zhou Chun upon his return to the Central Peace Hall.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun nodded slightly and said, “I know, after I visit the Supreme Elder, I will take him with me. Ask him to wait here for me first.”
He then went to the mountaintop cave dwelling to see the Supreme Elder, Zhou Mingde.
Since Lin Hongyu had visited Jiufeng Ridge after her return, Zhou Mingde was also aware of her retreat to refine her lifebound Dharma Treasure.
Zhou Chun’s main aim was to discuss promoting Xu Fu to Honorary Elder and to report on the accidental discovery of a large Water Essence Jade Vein, and incidentally, to test the power of the United Heart Golden Lock secret technique with Zhou Mingde.
“Just promoting him to Honorary Elder, there’s no problem. Zhengchun, you can decide that on your own,” Zhou Mingde said after considering the matter.
“As for the cooperation with the Scale Frog Alien Clan to mine the Water Essence Jade Vein, I think there is no hurry. The vein isn’t going anywhere, and we have plenty of opportunities to mine it later. If we mine it now, we won’t be able to sell a large quantity immediately, and we’d have to share the profits with the Scale Frog Alien Clan!”
Zhou Mingde gave his opinion after a moment of thought.
Zhou Chun, having heard his view, thought it also made sense and thus nodded, saying, “The Supreme Elder has considered this thoroughly, I have no objections.”
He originally intended to supply and sell to the Great Zhou Kingdom, but his last experience made him realize that the Great Zhou Kingdom was not a place free from worldly strife.
If the Zhou Family were to sell ores there over a long period, it might easily attract unwanted attention.
It would be better to wait until the Zhou Family had the capacity to secure a stable and safe channel for selling goods in that area before beginning to supply there on a long-term basis.
He then proposed to Zhou Mingde the idea of testing the secret technique.
Zhou Mingde naturally would not refuse this request.
The two didn’t need to go to any special martial training field and directly conducted the test in Zhou Mingde’s cave dwelling.
The result of the test was not disappointing to Zhou Chun.
After being locked, Zhou Mingde, a Mid-phase Purple Mansion cultivator, took nearly ten breaths to break free of the chains, and the protective Spell he cast did not stop the chains.
The third-rank top-grade Demon Beast, Fire Divine Jackal, took fifteen breaths to break free of the chains.
However, according to Zhou Mingde, the reason he was locked for so long was because the Cultivation Technique he practiced was not a top-tier technique, and the purity of his Mana was less than those cultivators of the same stage who practiced top-tier techniques.
If it were a Mid-phase Purple Mansion cultivator who practiced a top-tier technique, it’s likely that the time Zhou Chun could lock the opponent would be significantly decreased.
As for late-phase Purple Mansion cultivators, they could probably break free from the chains in an instant, and might even turn the tables and injure Zhou Chun.

After emerging from the cave dwelling on the mountain peak, Zhou Chun brought Zhou Xinyan, who had already been waiting in Central Peace Hall, to the Zhou Family’s secret library.
Zhou Xinyan, as a cultivator with superior Spirit Root Aptitude, naturally had pride within him and looked down on ordinary cultivation techniques, only wishing to cultivate top-tier techniques like Zhou Chun.
And for the Zhou Family, they indeed needed to cultivate more potential cultivators able to charge at the Golden Core Stage now.
Therefore, regarding Zhou Xinyan’s choice, neither Zhou Jiarui nor Zhou Chun had any objections.
As it was when Zhou Daoyi once led him, Zhou Chun brought Zhou Xinyan into the secret vault where the Zhou Family stored their top-tier cultivation techniques.
Zhou Chun then looked at the junior by his side and said, “Xinyan, your Spiritual Roots are of the wood, earth, fire attributes, and you have been cultivating a wood attribute technique before Foundation Establishment. Now, do you plan to switch to a cultivation technique of a different attribute, or continue with a wood attribute technique?”
“With better talent in wood attribute techniques, I naturally choose to continue cultivating wood attribute techniques!”
Zhou Xinyan clearly had prepared his answer in advance, promptly stating his choice.
“For wood attribute techniques, the family currently has three top-tier techniques for you to choose from; they are ‘Myriad Woods True Technique,’ ‘Green Glow Essence Technique,’ and ‘Jiamu Profound Technique,’ and they are all here. You can take a look for yourself!”
Zhou Chun said this and with a sweep of his hand, bestowed the three jade slips containing the cultivation techniques to Zhou Xinyan.
Over the years, the Zhou Family first experienced the war against the Dragon Transformation Sect, then gained the inheritance of Han Yuan, the Golden Core Insect Cultivator, and recently vanquished the Jiang Family in one fell swoop. In addition to the cultivation techniques contributed by Lin Hongyu, the family collected quite a few top-tier techniques.
‘Green Glow Essence Technique’ and ‘Jiamu Profound Technique’ were among the two top-tier techniques suitable for wood attribute Spirit Root Aptitude cultivators.
But just like the ‘Golden Cauldron Profound Technique’ that Zhou Chun cultivated, these top-tier techniques were not easy to successfully cultivate and achieve proficiency in.
Zhou Xinyan, now faced with three top-tier techniques, like Zhou Chun back in his early days, felt both excited and perplexed, finding it difficult to make a decision.
After reading through the content of the three techniques, he looked at Zhou Chun with an indecisive expression and asked, “Clan Leader, which cultivation technique do you think I should cultivate?”
“If you choose to cultivate the ‘Myriad Woods True Technique,’ based on the family’s current foundation, and if you’re willing to invest resources later on, reaching the Golden Core Stage shouldn’t be too difficult. However, limited by resources, it’s likely your progress will cease at the early phase of Golden Core, and it will be difficult to advance further.”
“As for the ‘Green Glow Essence Technique,’ although it’s subtle and profound, with infinite uses, it requires Bluefall Spirit Wood to lay the foundation. According to the cultivation technique, that Bluefall Spirit Wood is fifth-grade Spirit Material, sufficient for refining a Spiritual Treasure. Where would the family find such material for you?”
“If you choose to cultivate the ‘Jiamu Profound Technique,’ although the cultivation process is somewhat painful and cumbersome, with a greater risk of deviation, the Divine Skills and Mana are both superior. You can also learn the Jiamu Thunder Method, and if you eventually succeed in Core Formation, it’s not impossible to achieve a formidable reputation!”
Zhou Chun spoke at length, laying out the advantages and disadvantages of the three techniques.
Once a main cultivation technique is chosen, and once one has made progress in it, changing it becomes difficult, so Zhou Chun was unable to directly make the choice for Zhou Xinyan.
Otherwise, if the latter’s cultivation did not go smoothly in the future, he might even blame him.
However, analyzing and pointing out the pros and cons of techniques for the junior was not wrong.
If the junior still chose the wrong technique knowing its pros and cons, and his path did not go smoothly in the future, he would have no one to blame but himself.
Zhou Xinyan was able to cultivate until the Foundation Establishment Stage, so he was not a fool.
After listening to Zhou Chun’s analysis, he knew what he should choose.

His gaze shifting between ‘Myriad Woods True Technique’ and ‘Jiamu Profound Technique,’ he finally gritted his teeth and said, “I understand. Then I will choose to cultivate the ‘Jiamu Profound Technique’!”
Zhou Chun heard this, his gaze flickering slightly.
He then said in a deep voice, “Have you made your choice? Any regrets?”
“No regrets!”
Zhou Xinyan replied firmly and resolutely.
“Good. Then take this jade slip of the ‘Jiamu Profound Technique’ back with you to study. Also, take the opportunity to learn the Dao Script. Once you have mastered the Dao Script, come find me or the Fourth Elder to receive the Dao Carrying Artifact for reference and contemplation!”
Zhou Chun said this, and with a wave of his hand, the jade slip containing the ‘Jiamu Profound Technique’ for the Foundation Establishment Stage landed in Zhou Xinyan’s hands.
