The elders of the Zhou Family whom Zhou Chun had first co into contact with after arriving in this world were now few and far between.

Almost every year, one or two new graves are added to the Zhou family tomb behind Pagoda Peak.

And if the death weren’t that of an important figure like a Family Elder, the funeral for a deceased Zhou Family Cultivator would typically only be attended by their imdiate family.

At most, Zhou Chun, as Clan Leader, or one of the Elders, would make a token appearance on behalf of the family and the deceased.

urces provided by Longxing Valley, the alchemists of the Zhou Family had advanced rapidly in skill; Zhou Zhengyuan and Zhou Xinlan could even produce Spirit Pills that advanced the mana of Cultivators in the Foundation Establishnt Progression Phase.

Also, the various Artifact Refining and Talisman Making materials gathered here had put the Zhou Family’s Artifact Refining and Talisman Making skills on the fast track.

...

In the four major cultivation techniques of Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Talisman Making, and Formation, except for Formations which indeed required high personal insight and talent, the other three were actually disciplines of experience.

With these experience-based skills, those with talent could indeed progress faster and further, but those of average talent weren’t without hope of catching up.

However, years of scavenging had stripped the surrounding areas of Longxing Valley of anything worth collecting.

ches, Zhou Zhengyong continued, “Also, last month we lost a Qi Refinent six-layer Cultivator and seriously injured a Qi Refinent seven-layer Cultivator. Now there’s a sense of unease within the team, with so fearing the continual losses of their fellow companions.”

His words were diplomatic, but Zhou Chun understood the gravity of the situation.

Although it was made clear to these Zhou Family Death Warriors at the outset of their training that they might have to give their lives for the Zhou Family at any mont.

Understanding that concept is one thing; facing the reality when it occurs is another.

These Zhou Family Death Warriors had grown up and learned their skills together, fostering the teamwork and camaraderie among them. Their relationships were very close.

Watching their close companions fall one by one, not knowing when one’s turn might co, that feeling of panic and anxiety, Zhou Chun himself had experienced it firsthand.

After all, during the Southern Campaign, all the participating Cultivators had faced such a situation.

Thus, he took Zhou Zhengyong’s report very seriously and promptly turned his gaze to Xu Fu, the Death Warrior Commander, and asked, “Xu Fu, do you have anything to add?”

Hearing this, Xu Fu imdiately responded respectfully, “I believe that this is as normal as can be. Those individuals just haven’t fully adapted to the parting of life and death yet. Once they get used to it, they will not overthink it anymore!”

“Hmm, you do have a point, but we must still pay close attention to this matter.”

Zhou Chun nodded, then lowered his head and contemplated for a while before he had an idea in mind.

“Here’s what you can tell them,” he said slowly to Xu Fu, “from now on, whenever they co back from an outing with so gains, they can have two days of rest.”

“At the sa ti, you can also tell them that as long as they can persevere and make significant contributions to the family, there will be a chance for them to leave this place!”

Having said this, Zhou Chun waved his hand and said, “Alright, Xu Fu, you may withdraw now. I still have matters to entrust to the Eighth Elder.”

“Yes, your subordinate will take his leave.”

After Xu Fu had withdrawn, Zhou Chun turned to Zhou Zhengyong and asked, “Brother Yong, what do you think of Xu Fu?”

Hearing this, Zhou Zhengyong obviously paused for a mont.

After a brief mont of contemplation, he spoke softly, “Xu Fu is quite remarkable, not only is his combat capability outstanding and rarely matched, but his mind is also very agile. Whether in dealing with people or devising strategies, he’s very capable, almost catching up to the days when you were young.”

“Oh, Brother Yong, you think so highly of him?”

A flash of surprise appeared in Zhou Chun’s eyes; it seed he hadn’t expected Zhou Zhengyong to answer in such a way.

Zhou Zhengyong, hearing this, responded solemnly, “It’s not that I think highly of him, but that he truly has perford excellently. If he were a mber of our Zhou Family, I would definitely recomnd him to take over your position in the future!”

“Yes, it’s a pity he’s not a mber of our Zhou Family,” Zhou Chun sighed lightly, also feeling regretful at heart.

Objectively speaking, Zhou Chun was not the kind of person who insisted on bloodline theories.

However, the special circumstances of the Zhou Family ant that cultivators not of Zhou Family blood had difficulty being placed in important positions.

Zhou Mingde, the Supre Elder who truly had the final say in the Zhou Family decisions, was particularly concerned about this point.

Zhou Chun had no standing to criticize Zhou Mingde for being narrow-sighted; after all, Zhou Mingde and the Zhou Family had indeed suffered greatly because of this issue.

Moreover, Zhou Chun could not guarantee that his judgnt of people was always accurate and could not assuredly say that Xu Fu, once he achieved great success, would not betray the Zhou Family like Yu Jinghua did.

anged, Zhou Chun was left with only one pill.

According to the rules, this pill was reserved for a Zhou Family mber with high Spirit Root Aptitude, Zhou Xinyan, and no one else was allowed to touch it.

This ant that even if others managed to accrue five thousand points of family deeds in the future, they temporarily could not exchange them for a Foundation Establishnt Pill.

“It seems that the standard of five thousand family deeds has beco a bit outdated, and perhaps the amount of family deeds needed to exchange for a Foundation Establishnt Pill should be increased in the future!”

“Indeed, perhaps we shouldn’t only offer Foundation Establishnt Pills for our clan mbers to exchange but should give them more options, so they need not fixate on the Foundation Establishnt Pill alone. Thus, even in failure, they wouldn’t have to live their entire lives unable to lift their heads high, like Uncle Seven!”

Zhou Chun looked at the last Foundation Establishnt Pill in his hand and couldn’t help but reflect deeply.
