Chapter 766: Chapter 389: Master Qingwei’s Test, Zhou Daoyi’s Ambition [Subscribe Requested] Chapter 766: Chapter 389: Master Qingwei’s Test, Zhou Daoyi’s Ambition [Subscribe Requested] Zhou Xinlan, Zhou Xinhe, and Zhou Xinjian, these three “Xin” generation cultivators, were the ones the Zhou Family had decided to send to Green Lotus Temple to become Inner Sect Disciples.

All three of them possessed mid-grade Spirit Root Aptitude. Except for Zhou Xinhe who was only at the eleventh level of the Qi Refinement Realm, the other two were at the twelfth level of cultivation.

Once the three of them were admitted into Green Lotus Temple, they should at least produce one Foundation Establishment cultivator. With luck not too unfavourable, there could be two.

As for all three successfully reaching Foundation Establishment, Zhou Chun did not dare to entertain such a thought.

After the decision on the three candidates was final, he dismissed the others and took the three back to Central Peace Hall.

Inside Central Peace Hall, Zhou Chun gazed deeply at the three and slowly said, “The three of you are not young anymore, and you surely have an understanding of the relationship between the family and the sect.”

“Sects have their own rules. After you join Green Lotus Temple, you must abide by the sect’s regulations and not violate the sect’s rules, to avoid bringing trouble upon yourselves and the family.”

“Of course, though you will have pledged yourselves to Green Lotus Temple, you still bear the Zhou surname. If the family needs you to exert effort in the future, I hope you will, within your capabilities, put forth effort for the family!”

Upon hearing his words, the three, who were originally excited about their selection, suddenly showed a slight change in expression.

After exchanging glances, they respectfully replied in unison, “Yes, we shall heed the Clan Leader’s teachings and never forget the family’s nurturing!”

However, they were all acutely aware that, not having joined Green Lotus Temple yet and not having succeeded in Foundation Establishment, they dared not show any disrespect to Zhou Chun, the Clan Leader.

As for later on, once the three had succeeded in Foundation Establishment and had lived in Green Lotus Temple for a while, whether they would still show the same respect as today, that was something only time could test.

Zhou Chun ended the matter there and did not overemphasize.

He understood that the three were no green youngsters, their worldviews fully formed and mature; saying too much might only provoke annoyance, for too much is as bad as too little.

Compared to arranging for these three Inner Sect Disciples, the remaining ten Outer Sect Disciple spots were much easier to handle.

The treatment of ordinary Outer Sect Disciples at Green Lotus Temple couldn’t even match that of the current Zhou Family Cultivators, not being a highly sought-after prospect for everyone.

Zhou Chun directly picked seven girls and three boys from among those younger clan members with the poorest aptitude.

The youngest of these children was only seven years old, and the oldest was just thirteen.

They were the true “sincerity” of the Zhou Family.

Disciples of such young age are precisely what a sect like Green Lotus Temple prefers since they haven’t spent much time in the family and the family’s imprint on them is weak.

But with these children’s low-grade Spiritual Root Aptitude, if Green Lotus Temple were to utilize them in the future, it would really need to invest quite a bit of resources.

Once the selection of personnel was complete, Zhou Chun personally led the thirteen people riding on the Silver Lightning Python Baibai, flying towards the Green Lotus Temple gates.

The journey was uneventful, and upon reaching the Reception Temple outside the gates of Green Lotus Temple, being in possession of an official mandate, Zhou Chun was immediately allowed to proceed to the main peak of Green Lotus Temple and meet with Master Qingwei.

Outside the Sect Leader’s main peak hall, Zhou Chun had the Silver Lightning Python Baibai land and let down the thirteen Zhou Family descendants, then retracted his Spirit Pet and, with a respectful expression, bowed toward the Sect Leader’s hall and said, “Temple Master, junior Lanzhou Zhou Family Clan Leader Zhou Zhengchun is here by summons to pay a visit.”

“Taoist Friend Zhou, no need for excessive courtesy, please come in for a chat.”

A melodious voice floated out from the hall, and the tightly closed doors of the hall opened at the same time.

“As you command.”

Zhou Chun responded, then instructed the waiting descendants, “You all wait here peacefully. After I have met with Temple Master, I’ll make arrangements!”

With that, he strode towards the grand hall ahead.

Inside the grand hall, Master Qingwei was seated on a dais in the same meditative posture as in their previous encounters.

Zhou Chun felt that the other’s cultivation level seemed to have progressed since their last meeting, but he dared not inquire further.

He simply performed the customary salutation and then said respectfully, “Temple Master, junior has brought the thirteen descendants willing to join your esteemed temple. I await your instructions.”

“Well said, well said. I have always trusted Taoist Friend Zhou’s capability in handling affairs. Since you have brought them here, they are now disciples of our sect. Our sect will certainly not treat them unfairly,” Master Qingwei replied with a slight smile, her tone warm and amiable.

Unaware of the details, one might think Zhou Chun and she shared a particularly good relationship.

After giving directions to Zhou Chun, Master Qingwei’s conversation took a turn, and she suddenly looked at Zhou Chun and asked, “Was that demon python just now your Spirit Pet? I see that it has already grown dragon horns, displaying signs of Transforming into Flood Dragon. I must say, it’s quite enviable!”

At these words, Zhou Chun’s heart tightened, and he hurriedly replied with a wry smile, “Temple Master, you flatter me. For a python to transform into a dragon is not so simple, and as for helping it advance to the third rank, I currently have no leads whatsoever.”

On hearing his reply, Master Qingwei looked at him with a meaningful smile and said, “Taoist Friend Zhou is being too modest. Since the Zhou Family has the means to trade with the Scale Frog Alien Clan in Dragon Abyss Marsh, and surely have a way to find a Flood Dragon Nest, once you obtain Millennium Dragon Transformation Grass, given the background of your demon python, it would have a great chance of using the opportunity to Transform into Flood Dragon and ascend to the third rank.”

Her words precisely voiced Zhou Chun’s own plans.

If Zhou Chun hadn’t discussed the matter only with a few core members of the Zhou Family leadership, he might have suspected Master Qingwei of planting a spy by his side.
