This made the person feel relieved, but also secretly disappointed.
"What do you think? Now Taoist Friend Zeng must believe Zhang’s words!"
Zhou Chun put away his Dharma Treasure, looked at Zeng Tai calmly and said.
Hearing this, an awkward look flashed across Zeng Tai’s face, then he replied with a dry laugh: "Haha, Taoist Friend Zhang is joking, of course I believe my friend’s words."
Saying this, he patted the Storage Pouch at his waist and took out four Jade Boxes, handing them to Zhou Chun.
"This time I troubled Taoist Friend Zhang. Consider these Spiritual Medicines as compensation from me, and I ask Taoist Friend Zhang not to refuse."
He wasn’t completely devoid of feelings, understanding that the previous matters had upset Zhou Chun, and now he wanted to make amends.
Unfortunately, Zhou Chun had already formed a deep prejudice against him in his heart. Although he accepted the Spiritual Medicines he offered, psychologically he categorized him as someone unworthy of deep friendship.
The two then sat together and amicably conversed with Sun Yuanjing for a while, before Zeng Tai left first.
After sending Zeng Tai off, Sun Yuanjing turned back and immediately smiled bitterly at Zhou Chun: "This time Sun made a mistake, not expecting Zeng Tai to be so arrogant and biased, relying on his background from the Yuanyang Sect, not considering other friends, daring to make any demands. Truly shameless!"
From the previous exchange, he roughly understood Zeng Tai’s intentions towards Zhou Chun, feeling quietly infuriated about it.
He did want to befriend such a senior figure from a major sect like Zeng Tai, but he wouldn’t sell all his other customers just to please him.
Since with Zeng Tai’s status, it wasn’t enough to make him compromise his credibility like that.
Just like Zhou Chun, he didn’t wish to engage with such individuals any longer, yet didn’t dare to offend them lightly, thus he could only apologize to Zhou Chun.
And facing his apology, Zhou Chun simply shook his head saying, "Let it pass!"
He didn’t want to talk more about Zeng Tai.
However, this incident also served as a reminder for Zhou Chun.
With cultivators from top sects like Zeng Tai, future engagements must always be cautious, otherwise encountering situations of betrayal again would be self-inflicted.
After exchanging with Sun Yuanjing, Zhou Chun returned to his own cave to cultivate.
On the other side, Zeng Tai, after leaving the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion and returning to his temporary residence, recalled the trial exchange with Zhou Chun, and couldn’t help but sigh.
"Indeed, I shouldn’t hold expectations from cultivators of such minor sects. It seems to weaken and suppress that guy from the Nine Elements Sword Sect, I’ll have to take a different approach!"
He originally had high expectations for Zhou Chun’s "Myriad Transformation Golden Light" Divine Skills, intending to use them against an opponent.
Unfortunately, the result of the personal test this time truly disappointed him, thus losing interest in Zhou Chun altogether.
Whereas Zhou Chun was unaware that due to the weak power of the Divine Skills, he narrowly escaped disaster.
Time flew quickly, and in the blink of an eye, two years passed.
As Zhou Chun anticipated, after consecutively ingesting the Ancient Dust Pill he bestowed, Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai and Golden Armor Turtle Bearer Stone both advanced to Third Order top-grade Demon Beasts, greatly enhancing their respective powers.
The Third Order top-grade Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai’s Thunder Escape Technique was now much more potent, making it impossible for Golden Elixir Early Phase cultivators to catch up unless they were preemptively ambushed.
If Zhou Chun used the Beast Spirit Fusion Technique with Baibai, his speed wouldn’t be much inferior to that of Golden Core Late Stage cultivators.
Once it breaks through to Fourth Order, and if Zhou Chun fuses with it, they wouldn’t fear pursuit from Golden Core Late Stage cultivators.
As for the Third Order top-grade Golden Armor Turtle Bearer Stone, its defense was strong enough to withstand attacks from ordinary Golden Core Early Phase cultivators. Placed on the ground, Golden Core Early Phase cultivators wouldn’t be able to do anything against it!
Meanwhile, its Earth Escape Technique had also become more potent. Given enough time to activate, it could elude to a thousand zhang deep underground with Zhou Chun, leaving even Golden Core Late Stage cultivators helpless!
Overall, the performance of the two Spirit Pets made Zhou Chun very satisfied, leaving him somewhat undecided on who to prioritize for promotion to Fourth Order.
From a practical point of view, whoever of the two promoted to Fourth Order would provide immediate assistance to him. 𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
If Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai advances to Fourth Order, he could maximize the effects of the Beast Spirit Fusion Technique and genuinely master the fourth layer of the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique he had halted for long, plus its own formidable combat strength.
And if Golden Armor Turtle Bearer Stone advances to Fourth Order, one certain aspect is that cultivators below Golden Core Late Stage would hardly be able to harm it, and its Earth Escape Technique would undergo qualitative improvement, which would truly unleash the ability of the Burden Turtle’s bloodline, carrying the mountain!
"Why not let them decide for themselves?"
After long hesitation, Zhou Chun suddenly had an idea.
He brought both Spirit Pets before him and informed them of his current dilemma, expressing that only by concentrating resources can he cultivate one of them to advance to Fourth Order.
Perhaps due to noble bloodlines, or perhaps because of Zhou Chun’s teaching over more than two hundred years, the wisdom of these two Spirit Pets wasn’t much lower than that of ordinary young humans except that they couldn’t speak.
The matter Zhou Chun spoke of wasn’t difficult for them to understand.
