Capítulo 1707: Chapter 643: Swarm Iteration
During this period, the bee swarm will exert all its strength to provide nourishment for the growth of the new queen bee.
Zhou Chun no longer needs to intervene; he quickly took some Demon Bees with limited lifespan and left the area.
Speaking of which, over the years, Zhou Chun occasionally came to take away some of the elderly “Skyfrost Cold Bees” to feed the four Hexapterous Ice Silkworms.
Now, after years of feeding, the four Hexapterous Ice Silkworms are about to undergo a new round of transformation.
Zhou Chun eagerly anticipates the day they transform into complete Hexapterous Ice Silkworms, wondering just how powerful they will be then!
When Zhou Chun returned to the Green Lotus Mountain Range, a distant visitor had been waiting for him for over a month.
The visitor turned out to be Bai Zhiqing, with whom he had parted ways in the Great Zhou Kingdom.
After years of traveling around various places, Bai Zhiqing finally arrived in Jingguo Country, intending to return to her sect after visiting Zhou Chun.
When they met in Zhou Chun’s cave residence, after the usual pleasantries, Zhou Chun tentatively remarked to Bai Zhiqing, “I suppose Taoist Friend Bai has gained substantially from your travels through various countries, and when you return to the Heaven Fire Sect, resources for your future cultivation to the Golden Core Middle Stage should be plentiful.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhiqing could only smile bitterly, saying, “Taoist Friend Zhou overestimates Zhiqing; previously, Zhiqing spent most of her savings to exchange for Nascent Soul Spirit Materials, and crafting the Lifebound Dharma Treasure involved another expense. Although not entirely penniless, I am indeed quite strapped for cash; how could I possibly be as highly regarded by Taoist Friend Zhou as you say!”
Zhou Chun just assumed she was being modest, shaking his head and saying, “Taoist Friend Bai is modest; with the level of demand in the Flowfire Desert for external resources, Taoist Friend Bai could simply take a batch of rare and extremely scarce Spiritual Objects from here back, and surely reap several times the profit—becoming wealthy should not be difficult then!”
Bai Zhiqing, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but express her helplessness, saying, “Zhiqing truly isn’t modest; if only Zhiqing really had surplus funds, I would certainly do as Taoist Friend Zhou suggests. Unfortunately, I am indeed short of cash!”
“Is that really so?”
Zhou Chun looked at Bai Zhiqing quizzically, then apologetically remarked, “I apologize, it seems like Zhou Mou misunderstood Taoist Friend Bai.”
“Ah, as long as Taoist Friend Zhou understands!”
Bai Zhiqing sighed softly, her emotions becoming extremely complicated.
Originally, she might not have particularly cared, as she had already achieved the purpose of her travels by successfully forming her core.
However, after Zhou Chun mentioned it, she suddenly realized what a lucrative opportunity she was about to miss!
The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.
Yet she didn’t know, this was precisely Zhou Chun’s strategy.
Upon observing her reactions, Zhou Chun soon shifted his tone, abruptly saying, “Taoist Friend Bai, if you are truly in need of startup capital, Zhou Mou can provide you with some funds, even allowing you to freely select and take away various special Spirit Materials from the Zhou Family!”
After the words were spoken, Bai Zhiqing stared blankly for a moment, evident surprise on her face.
Since she dared to travel alone and took the initiative to request cooperation from Zhou Chun, she was naturally a perceptive person.
After her brief astonishment, she showed a thoughtful expression.
She soon looked at Zhou Chun and said, “Taoist Friend Zhou is willing to be so generous, Zhiqing is indeed grateful beyond words, but I should not accept a reward for nothing. I wonder how Zhiqing can assist Taoist Friend Zhou?”
Zhou Chun, hearing her response, showed an expression of admiration and praised, “Taoist Friend Bai is indeed clever, speaking with smart people is truly effortless.”
Then he stated solemnly, “Zhou Mou does have something I would like to ask Taoist Friend Bai’s assistance. If Taoist Friend Bai is willing to help, I dare not over promise, but making one or two million Spirit Coins should not be problematic!”
After speaking, he mentioned his wish to exchange for the opportunity Bai Zhiqing had to have Grandmaster Yan Cang refine an artifact for free.
Upon hearing his request, Bai Zhiqing did not respond immediately, instead contemplating.
“Taoist Friend Bai may know, Senior Yan Cang’s lifespan is not particularly long. Since you haven’t yet obtained treasures worthy of a Grandmaster’s artifact refinement, this opportunity might be wasted at any time. Therefore, exchanging it with Zhou Mou clearly offers gains with no loss.”
While Bai Zhiqing was thinking, Zhou Chun also revealed information that startled her slightly.
After her expression changed several times, she finally nodded and said, “Alright, since Taoist Friend Zhou is so sincere, Zhiqing is certainly willing to complete this beautiful affair!”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun laughed heartily, saying, “Hahaha, a wise choice; Taoist Friend Bai surely won’t regret this decision in the future!”
Then he immediately took out the Flying Sword made with [Myriad Year Ice Crystal], requesting her to deliver it to Grandmaster Yan Cang for crafting a Dharma Treasure that could invisibly attack enemies for him.
Seeing him casually take out such a top-grade Spirit Material as [Myriad Year Ice Crystal], Bai Zhiqing was deeply shocked, unable to speak for quite a while.
Having previously visited the Ice Barbarian Country, she knew that even in a place like the Ice Barbarian Country, top-grade Spirit Materials at this level are nearly impossible to acquire through regular means.
