Chapter 228: Water Spirit Ganoderma, Chongshan in Danger [Subscribe Please]
Millennium Spiritual Medicine!
Upon hearing the surrendering Dragon Transformation Sect Cultivator utter these four words, both Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoquan's eyes lit up, instantly moved.
They knew the value of Millennium Spiritual Medicine; both were connoisseurs.
Such treasures could exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill with a high-ranking cultivator in need of one.
Even a large sect like Green Lotus Temple would regularly offer rewards for various Millennium Spiritual Medicines they required.
To obtain the demanded Millennium Spiritual Medicine, the rewards offered by them were often Foundation Establishment Pills or Spirit Pills that could help people break through minor cultivation realms.
Only with such incentives could they attract various cultivation families and Loose Cultivators to trade their Millennium Spiritual Medicine.
If the Zhou Family could acquire a few decent Millennium Spiritual Medicines, whether to please a Golden Core Stage Cultivator to gain a powerful patron or to exchange for scarce family resources like Foundation Establishment Pills, it would be excellent.
Therefore, upon hearing the words of the surrendering Dragon Transformation Sect Cultivator, Zhou Chun immediately changed his attitude, smiling at the man as he said, "Very well, if you truly can help us acquire Millennium Spiritual Medicine, not only will we accept your surrender, but letting you go free is also possible!"
Compared to Millennium Spiritual Medicine that couldn't easily be bought even with Spirit Coins, the head of a mid-Foundation Establishment stage Cultivator and the battle merits it offered weren't much.
And with this promise, the Cultivator from the Dragon Transformation Sect who had salvaged his life sighed with relief and hastily bowed in gratitude, "Thank you for your great kindness, elder. I will certainly strive to fulfill your wishes!"
In terms of both cultivation level and age, he was higher than Zhou Chun, yet now he was calling Zhou Chun 'elder,' and doing so with such ease, which Zhou Chun found amusing.
The Cultivation World respects strength above all, but a person who could disregard their face so readily was indeed rare.
No wonder he had so readily uttered the word "surrender."
But now was not the time to dwell on such matters, as Zhou Chun quickly addressed him, "Let's talk about this Millennium Spiritual Medicine first, tell me everything you know!"
Hearing this, the Dragon Transformation Sect Cultivator did not dare hide anything and hastily relayed the details.
According to him, he had previously worked in the Spirit Medicine Garden and had even helped a protector of the Black Dragon Hall tend to a certain special Millennium Spiritual Medicine.
Thus, he knew where the protector had transplanted the Millennium Spiritual Medicine.
Having explained the situation, he then pointed towards a mountain peak dozens of miles away, "The item is on that Dusk Rain Peak. There's a Water Mulberry Tree there over two thousand years old, and the Water Spirit Ganoderma lives on that Spirit Wood."
"Alright, in that case, lead the way!"
Zhou Chun glanced in the direction he was pointing and made his decision on the spot.

He sent a message to Zhou Chongshan on top of Spirit Peak, telling him to follow along with himself and the Dragon Transformation Sect Cultivator to gather the Millennium Water Jade Ganoderma, leaving Zhou Jiarui and Zhou Jiapeng behind to continue collecting medicinal herbs in the Medicine Garden.
After delegating the tasks, the three of them promptly set out for the location of the Millennium Water Jade Ganoderma.
Since the Black Dragon Hall cultivators had mostly gone to fill gaps in their defenses, Zhou Chun and his party of three flew for thirty-four miles without encountering any obstructions, quickly arriving at the base of the mountain harboring the Millennium Water Jade Ganoderma.
This mountain wasn't renowned within the Black Dragon Hall premises, occupied for a long time by a Black Dragon Hall protector for cultivating that Millennium Water Jade Ganoderma and other aged medicinal herbs.
As a result, the peak was also guarded by a Formation laid by that protector.
Usually, the protector would have trusted Cultivators oversee and guard the Formation, caring for the medicinal herbs.
But now, as the Black Dragon Hall faced a disaster, all of its Cultivators were needed to power the Guardian Great Formation, and not a single one was left on the mountain.
Normally, this wouldn't be an issue since the protector held considerable standing in the Black Dragon Hall, and even without guardians, there weren't many who would dare to covet the Millennium Water Jade Ganoderma atop Dusk Rain Peak.
But who could have expected a traitor to emerge from amongst them!
At this moment, after a few probes and attacks on the Formation atop Dusk Rain Peak, Zhou Chongshan roughly figured out how to break the unattended Formation.
Guided by him, Zhou Chun along with two Spirit Pets and the Dragon Transformation Sect Cultivator began their joint assault and broke the Formation after just a few rounds of attacks.
When they charged up the mountain peak, they immediately saw the ten-meter-tall Water Mulberry Tree.
This tree was also a Spirit Wood. Its leaves could be used to craft talisman paper, its bark for medicinal purposes and talisman crafting, and the berries it produced were a type of delicious Spirit Fruit.
Unfortunately, it wasn't the season for berries, and the tree only bore broad, palm-sized blue-green leaves.
And the precious Millennium Water Jade Ganoderma was parasitizing the exposed roots of this Spirit Wood.
"Judging by the size and patterns of this Water Jade Ganoderma, it must be at least thirteen hundred years old, perhaps even older!"
Zhou Chongshan stepped forward to closely examine the aqua-colored Lingzhi on the tree roots, and immediately his face showed his delighted assessment.
Although he was an Array Master, having lived long enough, he had considerable expertise in identifying Spiritual Medicine.
After stating his assessment, he heaved a light sigh, a touch of regret in his voice, "It's a pity transplanting such Spiritual Medicine requires a Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator to ensure success. Moreover, this Water Jade Ganoderma has been transplanted once already, so transplanting it again would be extremely difficult. Otherwise, it would have been perfect to transplant it back to our Zhou Family's Medicine Garden!"
