Chapter 659: Chapter 339: Heading to Great Zhou, Xiandu Marketplace [Subscribe Please]
About who should accompany Lin Hongyu on her long journey to the Great Zhou Kingdom to attend the auction, some minor disagreements arose among the Zhou family members.
Zhou Mingde originally intended to go with her personally.
However, Zhou Daoyi wished to be the one to accompany her, and Zhou Chun also supported Zhou Daoyi’s decision.
So, after some dispute, it was finally decided that Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Chun would go to the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Zhou Chun’s reason for going was also simple: if an auction that offered materials assisting in Core Formation were to take place, it would surely not lack items that aided in opening the Purple Mansion.
Thus, he was also prepared to see if he could find a good opportunity there.
...
Although the 200,000 Spirit Coins that the Zhou family had initially set aside to fund his opening of the Purple Mansion were decided to be given for Lin Hongyu’s Core Formation,
his own personal savings were still intact.
In his years of traveling here and there, to the north and south, Zhou Chun had also amassed quite a fortune.
If he sold some treasures and borrowed some Spirit Coins from his Dao Companion Su Yuzhen and other family elders, he could still muster about 100,000 Spirit Coins.
Generally speaking, a Spiritual Object that assists in opening the Purple Mansion is worth at most 100,000 Spirit Coins.
With the attendees for the trip to the Great Zhou Kingdom decided, Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Chun made some brief preparations and then set out for the Yang Kingdom together.
They needed to meet up first with Lin Hongyu, who was stationed in the Yang Kingdom, before heading off together to the even more distant Great Zhou Kingdom.
Zhou Daoyi had previously accompanied Lin Hongyu to transport Earth Origin Crystal Jade ore back to the Zhou family, having already traveled once from Jingguo Country to the Yang Kingdom.
Now, with him, a Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator guiding the way, no Cultivator dared to attack the two members of the Zhou family during their trip.
High-level Cultivators often value their status and usually have their own powers to reckon with.
In general, unless they covet a particular treasure, they are unlikely to engage in murder and robbery.
For the sake of safety, Zhou Daoyi always traveled with Zhou Chun by riding either the Golden Winged Tiger or the Silver Lightning Python Baibai, without ever revealing the Green Flood Dragon in his Spirit Beast Pouch.
Under such circumstances, even if they occasionally entered a Marketplace to rest, no Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator would specifically come to rob and kill them.
Thus, after half a month’s journey, the two of them entered the territory of the Yang Kingdom.
Returning to the Yang Kingdom after many years, Zhou Chun found the place to be completely different from what he had seen on his initial visit.
The land once scorched to barrenness was now covered again with grass and trees, although the forests were not tall and robust, showing they were newly grown and young.
And the birds, beasts, insects, and snakes that had once vanished were now appearing again on the land.
Perhaps the only thing missing were the humans that used to populate this land.
The deaths of tens of millions of mortals could not be recovered in a mere decade or two.
At present, most of the territory within the Yang Kingdom remains a wilderness, with only a few areas inhabited by mortals who have migrated from various places.
However, this is only temporary. Given the expansion and propagation rate of mortals, it would not take a century for their presence to reappear everywhere.
In comparison to the rarely seen mortals, Cultivators are much easier to encounter in the Yang Kingdom.
The Yang Kingdom was originally abundant in Spirit Mountains and blessed lands. Although the “Thousand Extinctions Cicada Calamity” caused many Spirit Veins to be damaged and dissipate, there are still many unclaimed Spirit Mountains and blessed lands in this region.
These unclaimed lands have attracted many Cultivators to come and vie for them, and many low-level Cultivators came in search of opportunities to make money.
As someone who had received guidance from the Zhou family, Lin Hongyu was among the very first batch of Cultivators to claim a Spirit Land.
Now, under the guidance of Zhou Daoyi, Zhou Chun and he flew across the territory of the Yang Kingdom for less than a day, soon arriving at the stronghold that Lin Hongyu had established.
Lin Hongyu entered the Yang Kingdom in the guise of an Individual Cultivator from another country. Hence, like most Individual Cultivators, she gathered eight Foundation Establishment stage Individual Cultivators who came to the Yang Kingdom in search of opportunities. They established an Individual Cultivator Stronghold in the mountain range with Earth Origin Crystal Jade veins.
Because of the presence of Lin Hongyu, a late-stage Purple Mansion Cultivator, this Individual Cultivator Stronghold had become quite famous within the Yang Kingdom territory, and enthusiasts had even respectfully dubbed her the “Hongyu Fairy.”

After Zhou Chun arrived outside the stronghold with Zhou Daoyi, Zhou Daoyi used a secret technique to conceal his Cultivation Level, posing as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and then the two of them entered the stronghold through the usual channels.
With Foundation Establishment Cultivators constantly moving around the Yang Kingdom in search of opportunities, although the Cultivators guarding the entrance to the stronghold took note of Zhou Chun and him, they did not prevent the two from entering.
After entering the stronghold, Zhou Chun looked around and saw that a large number of single-family courtyards had been constructed, and near the entrance, several shops had their doors open.
The resting area for passing Cultivators was located to the right of the entrance in a separate area with some single-family courtyards and rows of stone houses.
And in the deeper parts of the stronghold, most of the area was enshrouded in white mist, making it impossible to see what was inside.
This setup was similar to other Individual Cultivator Strongholds that he had visited before; the only difference was the size of the various areas.
While Zhou Chun was observing the situation inside the stronghold, Zhou Daoyi had already notified Lin Hongyu.
Shortly thereafter, a charming young female Cultivator dressed in a yellow skirt emerged from the mist-covered area and came straight to them.
“Elders, please follow me. The master has already prepared tea in the cave dwelling and is awaiting your arrival,” she said.
