Even if Zhou Chun temporarily lends Lin Hongyu the Blazing Gloves, she still wouldn’t have any advantage.

“What a pity! My Three Suns True Flame Pot, once its ownership changes, the accumulated ‘Three Suns True Flame’ inside will immediately dissipate. Otherwise, this treasure could have been a lethal weapon for Taoist Friend Lin!”

Zhou Mingde let out a regretful sigh, feeling helpless regarding this matter.

After some consideration, Zhou Chun spoke solemnly, “Then, I will transfer the Wutu Diamond Shield to Great-Aunt for refining. She has refined this defensive Dharma treasure before, which will save time on getting familiar with it!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Hongyu immediately shook her head and said, “No way! Zhengchun, if you give me this treasure, what will you do?”

She looked at Zhou Chun with a serious expression and said, “The key to this battle doesn’t lie with me, but with you and Daoyi. As long as both of you secure victory, even if I am outclassed, the ultimate victor will still be the Zhou Family!”

Zhou Mingde nodded in agreement, advising, “Indeed, Taoist Friend Lin makes a good point. Zhengchun, you must ensure that you secure your win in this match. As for Taoist Friend Lin’s side, we can only do our best!”

Persuaded by their advice, Zhou Chun no longer insisted, as he too wasn’t entirely confident in winning.

If he could use the Moon Toad Pearl, he’d be absolutely certain of victory. After all, the Green Lotus Temple would never refine a Spiritual Treasure for a cultivator in the Golden Elixir Early Phase.

Furthermore, even if the Green Lotus Temple were willing, the artifact spirit of the Spiritual Treasure might not consent.

However, the third-party witness of this duel is the Moon Wheel Sect’s Sect Leader Baiyue True Person, alongside numerous other Golden Elixir elders from the Moon Wheel Sect.

No matter how daring Zhou Chun might be, he wouldn’t dare reveal the Moon Toad Pearl, such a high-level Spiritual Treasure, in front of the Moon Wheel Sect’s Golden Elixir elders.

A mere Zhou Family is unworthy of possessing such a Spiritual Treasure!

After discussions, Zhou Chun ultimately decided just to hand over the Blazing Gloves Dharma Treasure to Lin Hongyu for refining and equipped Zhou Daoyi with several Talisman Treasures and Fourth Grade Talismans.

Afterward, he ventured into the Wasteland Territory and brought back all the mature and adult Skyfrost Cold Bees.

A month quickly passed.

On this day, Zhou Chun, Lin Hongyu, and Zhou Daoyi headed toward the Moon Wheel Sect’s mountain gate together.

After sending them off, Zhou Mingde sat anxiously at Tuyun Ridge, waiting for news.

At the same time, Zhou Chun and his companions rode the Golden Winged Tiger together toward the Moon Wheel Sect’s mountain gate and soon reached their destination.

Responsible for receiving them was still Su Yunniang, who escorted them directly to the guest cave residence prepared specifically for distinguished visitors to the Moon Wheel Sect.

The duel was scheduled for the next day, and Zhou Family’s trio arrived early to adjust their states.

After settling in, Zhou Chun went to pay respects to Baiyue True Person.

“I am aware that you must harbor grievances about this duel,” Baiyue True Person remarked calmly after Zhou Chun finished his ceremonial bow, “But rest assured, even if your Zhou Family loses this time, I and this sect will surely arrange for your Zhou Family to settle in another Spirit Land just as good as Jiufeng Ridge as your future branch site!”

In truth, Zhou Chun didn’t take this promise to heart.

Only the high-ranking members of the Zhou Family understand how crucial Jiufeng Ridge’s Spirit Land is to their family.

Yet since Baiyue True Person expressed his stance, Zhou Chun had to show courtesy in response.

With a hint of gratitude flashed in his eyes, he solemnly bowed and said, “Junior represents the Zhou Family in expressing thanks to the Sect Leader True Person!”

Baiyue True Person waved a hand casually, then gazed at him with profound intent, saying, “Little Friend Zhou, you are a clever individual with great potential. If you can cultivate to the Golden Core Late Stage in the future, the Zhou Family’s position as Jingguo Country’s top Golden Elixir family will truly be rock-solid. However, remember that in life and cultivation, one must not be too impatient.”

“In recent years, your Zhou Family has produced two Golden Core Stage cultivators, several Purple Mansion Phase cultivators, and numerous Foundation Establishment cultivators. Such growth is bound to attract unwanted attention. After this incident, remember to act with restraint and adopt a strategy of gradual progress, avoiding ostentation.”

These words, subtle yet pointed, caused Zhou Chun’s mind to tense.

In truth, he himself was aware of this issue.

However, whether it was his own Core Formation or Zhou Mingde’s Core Formation, such developments were inevitable.

Even Zhou Zhengyong and the newly advanced Purple Mansion Phase cultivators encountered the same necessity.

Yet, examining the broader history of the Jingguo Country Cultivation Realm across millennia, it’s rare to find a cultivator family like the Zhou Family that suddenly produced so many Golden Core Stage and Purple Mansion Phase cultivators within just a few decades.

Though many people attribute this to the Zhou Family capitalizing on favorable wartime opportunities and profiting from them, envy and jealousy are unavoidable.

This prosperity also makes forces like the Green Lotus Temple feel threatened and unsettled.

Baiyue True Person’s “reminder” could very well be a veiled warning.

Should the Zhou Family continue its rapid expansion unchecked, even the Moon Wheel Sect might find it intolerable.

Someone would undoubtedly seek to discover the truth behind their explosive growth and uncover the Zhou Family’s hidden secret!

With thoughts swirling through his mind, Zhou Chun quickly responded with a respectful and submissive tone, “Junior understands. The Zhou Family will henceforth abide by restraint, adopt a strategy of gradual growth, and ensure that no concerns arise for the Senior Sect to handle!”
