Inside the cave dwelling, after sending off the Ancestor of Su Family, Zhou Mingde looked at Zhou Chun with a gleam in his eyes and asked for his opinion.

Zhou Chun knew his elder was tempted just by looking at his expression.

Indeed, once the Tianjing Sect fell, the Spirit Lands left vacant in Lingzhou would be too numerous.

Not to mention the two large Spirit Lands previously occupied by the Tianjing Sect and Tianjing Villa, the Spirit Lands of the Guo Family from Tuyun Ridge and the Jiang Family were also better than Jiufeng Ridge.

As of now, the Zhou Family openly had as many as four Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators and two third-stage Demon Beasts.

The need for Spirit Lands was indeed urgent.

If Zhou Daoquan wasn’t mostly cultivating at Jade Mining Mountain and the Green Flood Dragon wasn’t spending most of its time cultivating in its lair, Jiufeng Ridge would indeed no longer be able to support the cultivations of those four Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators and two third-stage Demon Beasts.

Thus, the Spirit Lands now available in Lingzhou represented an enormous opportunity for the Zhou Family.

Therefore, after pondering for a while, Zhou Chun spoke in a soft voice, “In my opinion, we should, of course, compete for them, but we shouldn’t aim too high. We just need a place that can alleviate some of the pressure on Jiufeng Ridge!”

“Oh, why is that?”

Zhou Mingde’s brows furrowed slightly, not quite understanding his meaning.

According to Zhou Mingde’s own thinking, such a rare opportunity should definitely be seized to strive for a larger and better piece of land.

After all, the Zhou Family was secretly taking care of Lin Hongyu, and they had the capability to occupy a superior Spirit Mountain.

Facing these doubts, Zhou Chun sighed helplessly and said, “Because the taller the tree, the more wind it catches!”

“Although the Green Lotus Temple really did win this time, it’s not hard to discern from the Ancestor of Su Family’s words that Elder Qingxiao’s lifespan is probably not much longer.”

“If Elder Qingxiao passes away one day, and no new Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator emerges in the Green Lotus Temple, no one knows what will become of Lingzhou and the lands of Yunzhou and Lanzhou.”

“By then, those who occupy superior Spirit Lands will inevitably attract more attention and endure greater pressure!”

Having said this, Zhou Chun continued with a solemn expression, “Moreover, our Zhou Family is lacking in Spirit Lands, that’s true, but our main focus of development has already shifted elsewhere. It’s not worth exposing our strength and inviting more attention just for a superior Spirit Land at this juncture.”

“If by doing so we reveal the secret of the underground waterway, that would be a case of losing more by grasping for too little!”

Upon hearing these words, Zhou Mingde’s expression changed.

He soon showed a look of regret and said, “Indeed, Zhengchun, your point is valid. I was a bit too eager for quick success, thinking only of the benefits of a superior Spirit Land, and I almost forgot about the secrets that our family cannot afford to expose!”

After saying this, he nodded repeatedly and said, “You’re absolutely right, Zhengchun. Our Zhou Family doesn’t need to compete for those superior Spirit Lands. We just need a decent Spirit Land where we can settle our clan members openly and honorably.”

“As for the superior Spirit Lands, once you successfully achieve Core Formation in the future, there will naturally be ways to obtain them!”

Seeing that he agreed so quickly and let go of his greed, confirming his own view, Zhou Chun felt reassured.

Although Zhou Mingde could be somewhat rash and greedy at times, thankfully, he was open to the persuasions of the younger generation.

He was not one of those family elders who were set in their ways just because they were of higher rank or had higher cultivation levels.

The prosperous situation of the Zhou Family today owed much to Zhou Mingde’s willingness to delegate authority and to listen to advice.

In fact, this is a common trait of success among all rising powers.

Looking back through history, whether it’s dynasties, families, or gangs, their ability to rise and expand can’t be separated from a leadership that listens to diverse opinions at the outset.

Personal abilities and insights are always limited. Without a willingness to listen broadly, it’s easy to make decisions one might regret for life.

Many times, a single wrong decision can determine the rise or fall of a dynasty or family!

Zhou Chun was gratified that Zhou Mingde, his elder, was someone who was open and willing to accept advice and understand reason.

At this moment, Zhou Chun also spoke in a subdued tone, “That’s true. In fact, the Green Lotus Temple has already taken a keen interest in our Zhou Family. From now on, we should keep a low profile in our actions. As long as we maintain the secrecy of the underground waterway, nothing can stop the Zhou Family’s march forward!”

“Absolutely, our Zhou Family will surely return to the ranks of the Golden Core noble families!”

Zhou Mingde said firmly and with conviction.

Leading the Zhou Family back into the ranks of the Golden Core noble families was Zhou Mingde’s greatest wish in life, even his obsession.

Everything he did was geared toward this goal.

If achieving this goal meant sacrificing his life, he would not hesitate!

“Let’s have the Intelligence Hall keep an eye on the situation at the Tianjing Sect’s mountain gate for now. That should reveal a lot!”

Zhou Chun offered his opinion, which Zhou Mingde accepted.

A day passed, and the latest news from the Tianjing Sect reached Zhou Chun through the Intelligence Hall.

“He managed to escape again?”

Inside the Central Peace Hall, Zhou Chun, surprised at the report in his hands, his eyes showing a flash of astonishment.
