Chapter 1247: Chapter 523: Yu Jinghua Takes the Bait [Subscribe Requested]_2

Seeing him apologize so sincerely, Zhao Wentang’s expression improved considerably. He shook his head slightly and said, “Taoist Friend Xu, I understand your point. However, even though we disciples of the Commanding Spirit Sect want to cultivate a Second Order Demon Beast, it still comes down to a gamble. There’s simply no way to absolutely guarantee success!”

Zhou Chun nodded repeatedly and said, “Yes, yes, I understand. But I’ve heard a rumor that when low-level Demon Beasts evolve into mid-level Demon Beasts, consuming large amounts of essence blood from the corresponding mid-level Demon Beast can increase the chances of success. Is that true?”

As he spoke, he wore a look of inquiry and turned to Zhao Wentang.

“That’s not just a rumor—it’s true. This kind of situation does indeed occur. But Taoist Friend Xu… what are you implying with this?”

Zhao Wentang seemed hesitant as he looked at Zhou Chun, apparently grasping his intent.

“Exactly. Taoist Friend Zhao, if you can invite a Taoist or senior from your esteemed sect who rears Silver-Horned Rhinos and provide their essence blood to me, I promise to offer an appropriate reward!”

Zhou Chun solemnly nodded, clearly stating his request.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wentang hesitated before replying, “Taoist Friend Xu, your idea is good, but currently, there is only one disciple in our sect who truly rears a Silver-Horned Rhino. Moreover, their Silver-Horned Rhino is a Third Order Demon Beast!”

“Wouldn’t that be even better? If I could obtain the essence blood from a Third Order Silver-Horned Rhino, it would surely make my Iron-Horned Rhinoceros’ evolution much smoother!”

Zhou Chun, thrilled, exclaimed loudly.

But Zhao Wentang responded with a bitter smile, “That logic does make sense, but Taoist Friend Xu, you must understand—someone with a Third Order Demon Beast at their side isn’t lacking ordinary cultivation resources. Convincing them to assist might not be so easy!”

“Since you’re addressing him as Senior Brother, does that mean this Taoist also hasn’t yet surpassed the Foundation Establishment stage?”

Zhou Chun deliberately asked with feigned ignorance.

“Not only is he a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but his cultivation level currently remains at the Middle Foundation Establishment stage!”

Zhao Wentang sighed deeply, his face full of envy as he lamented, “But he was simply born under a lucky star—not only has he inherited a Third Order Demon Beast from his ancestors, but he also has a Golden Core Stage master!”

“That… that’s truly the kind of fortune one can only aspire to!”

Zhou Chun couldn’t help but laugh bitterly along with him.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Zhou Chun quietly said, “In that case, I won’t bring up acquiring Silver-Horned Rhinoceros essence blood for now. I’ll focus on preparing other advancement resources first.”

When he said this, Zhao Wentang’s eyes gleamed briefly before his expression composed itself. With a look of approval, he nodded to Zhou Chun and said, “Now that’s the approach—practical and realistic words!”

He then produced three prepared Iron-Horned Rhinoceros evolution plans and completed the transaction with Zhou Chun.

Thus, Zhou Chun purchased each plan at the price of two thousand Spirit Coins. In addition, he privately gifted Zhao Wentang a six-hundred-year-old Spiritual Medicine before leaving on the pretext of gathering evolution resources.

Following this, Zhou Chun searched the Xuanqing Marketplace for materials listed in the Iron-Horned Rhinoceros evolution plan. Later, he departed the marketplace, seemingly intending to collect resources from elsewhere.

However, what he truly did was return to the Zhou Family—to gather reinforcements!

Half a year later, with all arrangements in place, Zhou Chun once again arrived at the Xuanqing Marketplace and sought out the Commanding Spirit Pavilion.

“Taoist Friend Zhao, I’ve already gathered all the evolution resources specified in the plan. Now, I only lack the Silver-Horned Rhinoceros essence blood to begin the Iron-Horned Rhinoceros’s evolution!”

In the quiet room, Zhou Chun, brimming with joy, expressed his intentions to Zhao Wentang.

Seeing him in this spirited state, Zhao Wentang couldn’t help but smile and praise him, “Taoist Friend Xu, you truly work with exceptional speed!”

He then shook his head and said, “But regarding the Silver-Horned Rhinoceros essence blood—didn’t I explain to you last time? This matter is really not something I can handle on my own!”

Zhou Chun, hearing this, replied confidently, “No need to worry, Taoist Friend Zhao. This time, I’m fairly confident I can convince your Senior Brother. All I need is for you to summon him so I can meet him face to face!”

“Oh? May I ask how Taoist Friend Xu plans to persuade Senior Brother Zhou?”

Zhao Wentang’s curiosity was clearly piqued as he looked at Zhou Chun with a face full of surprise.

But Zhou Chun kept his cards close to his chest, shaking his head as he replied, “Forgive me, Taoist Friend Zhao, but what I’ve prepared is not a treasure, but rather an important piece of information. However, this information cannot be revealed to third parties!”

“An important piece of information?”

Zhao Wentang furrowed his brow and, with a look of seriousness, addressed Zhou Chun, “Taoist Friend Xu, don’t try to deceive me. What kind of information could possibly be worth Senior Brother Zhou’s Silver-Horned Rhinoceros essence blood? If he finds it to be a waste of time, I’ll be the one offending him greatly!”

Faced with this, Zhou Chun confidently responded, “It will definitely not be a wasted effort. If he isn’t interested in this information, I won’t ask for the Silver-Horned Rhinoceros essence blood. Furthermore, I’m even willing to offer an eight-hundred-year-old Spiritual Medicine as an apology!”

These words only heightened Zhao Wentang’s curiosity, though it was evident he wasn’t inclined to yield easily.

“Fine. If what he says turns out to be true, then as long as the matter succeeds, I can also form a favorable connection with Senior Brother Zhou!”

Zhao Wentang thought to himself. Outwardly, however, he maintained an expression of hesitation and uncertainty.

It wasn’t until Zhou Chun pleaded once again that Zhao Wentang reluctantly nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll compose a letter to Senior Brother Zhou and see what can be arranged.”
