Chapter 755 - 755 384 Guidance from the Ancestor of Su

Chapter 755: Chapter 384: Guidance from the Ancestor of Su Family【Second Release, Seeking Subscriptions】_2 Chapter 755: Chapter 384: Guidance from the Ancestor of Su Family【Second Release, Seeking Subscriptions】_2 After leaving the Li Family, Zhou Chun then headed north towards Su Family in Jiangzhou.

Exchanging magic artifacts is something that usually only well-related families are willing to do.

And the magic artifact Zhou Chun wanted to exchange was a superior third-grade one, which ordinary cultivation clans simply didn’t have access to.

So now, the only one left that met his requirements was actually the Su Family in Jiangzhou.

The reason Zhou Chun chose to go to the Li Family first instead of the Su Family was that he knew the Su Family clan members rarely practiced the Fire Element Technique, and his Red Dragon Dagger might not be in demand by them; he didn’t want the Ancestor of Su Family to feel that he was taking advantage of them.

But now that the path through the Li Family was blocked, he could only try his luck with the Su Family.

Upon reaching the Su Family, Zhou Chun didn’t beat around the bush; he went straight to see his Dao companion, Su Yuzhen, and explained his intention.

After hearing his reason, Su Yuzhen immediately said, “This is easy to handle, the Su Family’s real treasures are all in the Ancestor’s cave dwelling, I’ll take you to meet the Ancestor right now.”

Having said that, she led Zhou Chun to meet the Ancestor of Su Family.

“Zhengchun, these two artifacts of yours are indeed rare treasures, especially this Red Dragon Dagger, it’s even more extraordinary,”

“Unfortunately, the best Metal Attribute Magic Artifact in the Ancestor’s possession is only a third-grade mid-level artifact, and it’s a clumsy block of gold; I’m afraid it won’t be to your liking!”

Inside the cave dwelling, after the Ancestor of Su Family had looked at the two artifacts Zhou Chun wished to exchange, he couldn’t help but sigh lightly and voiced his disappointment to Zhou Chun.

It wasn’t that he was unwilling to exchange with Zhou Chun, but that he didn’t have a suitable artifact to exchange, even if he wanted to, he couldn’t.

However, Su Yuzhen, after hearing his words, was not willing to let it go and stepped forward, grabbing his arm and saying, “Ancestor, you have a wide network and connections; even if the family doesn’t have a suitable artifact for my husband, you can still help him find another senior to exchange with!”

Upon hearing this, the Ancestor of Su Family glared at her and couldn’t help but tap her head, saying, “What nonsense are you talking about, girl? Can I use my personal favors like that? It’s just a few third-grade artifacts, Zhengchun can always find the right one if he just travels around and attends more auctions and Underground Treasure Exchange Conventions!”

Zhou Chun, seeing this, also followed up by saying, “The Ancestor is right, since the Su Family doesn’t have a suitable artifact either, my lady, you need not trouble the Ancestor anymore.”

He knew the Ancestor of Su Family was very fond of Su Yuzhen and wouldn’t get angry because of this, but he also didn’t want her to make things difficult for the Ancestor on his account.

Doing so would only make the Ancestor of Su Family feel that he lacked tact.

Indeed, upon hearing his words, the Ancestor of Su Family immediately cast an approving glance at him.

Seeing this, Su Yuzhen glanced at him and obediently released her hands.

Seeing this, the Ancestor of Su Family slowly began to speak, “Although the Ancestor can’t help Zhengchun, Yuzhen, you can. Why not take him to see your aunt and ask her to help him exchange two artifacts within the Moon Wheel Sect!”

“Right, how could I have forgotten about my aunt? She’s a core disciple of the Moon Wheel Sect; she will definitely have a way to help my husband!”

A look of joy appeared on Su Yuzhen’s face, and she immediately returned to Zhou Chun’s side, taking his hand and saying, “Husband, let’s go; I will take you to the Moon Wheel Sect to find my aunt right away.”

Seeing her rush off like this, the Ancestor of Su Family couldn’t help but shake his head and said with a bit of helplessness, “No need to hurry like this, Yuzhen. First, send a message to Yunniang to inform her of this so that she can be prepared on her end.”

Zhou Chun also persuaded, “The Ancestor is speaking sensibly; my lady, you might as well communicate with your aunt first. I also have some matters I wish to consult the Ancestor with.”

“All right then, I will go send a message to my aunt first; husband, you and the Ancestor take your time to talk.”

After nodding her head, Su Yuzhen promptly left the cave dwelling.

Watching her leave, the Ancestor of Su Family also looked curious as he asked Zhou Chun, “Zhengchun, what do you want to discuss with me? Could it be that you have encountered some doubts in your cultivation?”

Zhou Chun heard this and immediately shook his head, “It’s not about doubts in cultivation, but rather I would like to seek your advice regarding the dispute between the Tianjing Sect and the Green Lotus Temple. I wish to know your views on the matter.”

“So, it’s about that.”

The Ancestor of Su Family nodded in realization, but did not answer immediately. Instead, he showed a pensive expression, as if deliberating on how to begin.

Zhou Chun did not rush him and waited patiently.

About half a quarter of an hour later, the Ancestor of Su Family finally began to speak slowly, “Regarding this matter, I do not know any insider information and can only share my own views to some extent.”

“Please speak, Elder. I am all ears,” Zhou Chun said, bowing slightly with great respect.

Seeing his manner, the Ancestor of Su Family nodded in satisfaction and continued, “According to my view, for the entirety of Jingguo Country, the southern regions cannot be without a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator in residence. Additionally, Qingxiao True Person’s lifespan is rumored to be nearing its end, which is probably the biggest reliance of the Tianjing Sect!”

“Yet, since Qingxiao True Person is a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and when it comes to Divine Skills, even Yinyue True Person of the Moon Wheel Sect would not dare to claim a certain victory over him. As long as he is alive, no one can afford to ignore his will!”

“Therefore, the conflict between the Tianjing Sect and the Green Lotus Temple will most likely only involve cultivators below the Nascent Soul Stage and not escalate to the level of a war that would lead to the annihilation of either side!”

He spoke with some circumspection, as if cautious of something, but Zhou Chun, possessing a clever mind, quickly understood the unsaid implications of his words.

The Ancestor of Su Family’s implied message was simple: Following the successful Nascent Soul Formation of Tianjing True Person, he became the ideal candidate in the eyes of the Moon Wheel Sect and the Sunflame Sect to take over for Qingxiao True Person and preside over the southern part of Jingguo Country.

After all, the Green Lotus Temple was the weakest of the three major powers in Jingguo Country, and replacing it with the Tianjing Sect was not out of the question.

But with Qingxiao True Person still alive, he would certainly not agree to let the Green Lotus Temple, which he had supported and grown, diminish and fall to ruin.

Perhaps Qingxiao True Person attempted to kill Tianjing True Person upon learning of the latter’s successful Nascent Soul Formation but failed, either due to Tianjing True Person’s escape or the intervention of other Nascent Soul Stage cultivators from the two sects.

Wary of Qingxiao True Person’s power, the Moon Wheel Sect and the Sunflame Sect also dare not openly support the Tianjing Sect at this time, nor can they acknowledge its existence. They can only choose to ignore and neither acknowledge nor suppress it.

Since directly killing Tianjing True Person is not feasible, the only way to prevent the Green Lotus Temple from being replaced by the Tianjing Sect is to stifle the latter’s development.

If the Tianjing Sect doesn’t have a single Golden Core Stage cultivator, or has only one or two, then even if Qingxiao True Person passes away, they simply wouldn’t have the capability to defend the territories of the southern regions.

However, if even the Ancestor of Su Family could see this, how could Tianjing True Person fail to see through Green Lotus Temple’s strategy?

Why is the Tianjing Sect still confronting the Green Lotus Temple so directly?

At this point, Zhou Chun directly paid his respects to the Ancestor of Su Family, “What I don’t understand is, if the Nascent Soul True Persons do not take action, how could the Tianjing Sect possibly contend with the Green Lotus Temple? I fear that even without the Green Lotus Temple taking personal action, just the cultivator families under its command would be enough to wipe out the few members of the Tianjing Sect!”

“This matter is indeed baffling, and the Nascent Soul True Persons must have some other plans. With my limited knowledge, I can only grasp this much for now!”

The Ancestor of Su Family shook his head, unable to answer Zhou Chun’s question.

After all, he was just a Golden Core Stage cultivator, and although his experience and knowledge far exceeded Zhou Chun’s, many matters at higher levels were inaccessible without reaching a certain realm of cultivation.

Even though he couldn’t respond to Zhou Chun’s query, he still offered advice, “Your Zhou Family acted as pioneers previously, and choosing to lie low now is a wise decision. However, if Yu Jinghua does not die, and survives until Qingxiao True Person’s passing, I fear your Zhou Family will be in danger. You must prepare for this in advance!”

Zhou Chun, hearing these words, felt a chill in his heart and immediately thanked him, “I understand. Thank you, Elder, for your guidance.”
