Three months later, Zhou Chun finally emerged from the artifact-refining chamber.

At this moment, his complexion was still somewhat pale and weary, but his eyes were exceptionally bright, brimming with excitement.

Though the forging of this Lifebound Dharma Treasure had significantly depleted his essence energy,

the long-awaited success of refining his Lifebound Dharma Treasure made it impossible for him to suppress his excitement.

Even before forming his Core, he had been gathering materials for this treasure, and after his Core Formation, he endured nearly twenty years of anticipation.

Now, at last, he had successfully forged this Lifebound Dharma Treasure.

Although he had yet to test its power, considering the myriad rare materials he had incorporated during its creation, its potency was bound to be extraordinary.

Once he nurtured it further in the future, its power would surely surpass that of most Lifebound Dharma Treasures possessed by Golden Elixir Early Phase cultivators.

Thinking of this jubilantly, a proud smile spread across Zhou Chun’s face.

He then returned to his bedroom, collapsing into bed and treating himself to a deep sleep.

This sleep lasted a full three days and nights. When Zhou Chun awoke, his complexion had visibly improved, and his fatigue had entirely dissipated.

Aside from the essence energy lost through expelling his Lifebound Essence Blood and sustaining the Alchemy Fire, his overall condition had returned to normal.

As for the lost essence energy, he still had some elixirs that could aid in its recovery. Once he returned to the Zhou Family, he could further expedite this process through dual cultivation with Su Yuzhen, regaining full vitality within three to five years without any lasting side effects.

At this moment, Zhou Chun turned his awareness inward. He noticed two golden cauldrons in his dantian standing opposite each other, faintly resonating in a peculiar synchrony.

His other refined treasures, such as the Moon Toad Pearl, hung high like a lone moon, occupying its own territory and seemingly disdainful of associating with other treasures.

The Wutu Diamond Shield and Blazing Gloves, on the other hand, hid away in corners like neglected concubines.

Speaking of the Wutu Diamond Shield, after nearly twenty years of nurturing by Zhou Chun, most of its cracks had now healed. With a few more years of refinement, it would likely be restored to its original state.

However, now that Zhou Chun had successfully forged the Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron and gained the Primordial Golden Mist Divine Skill, his reliance on this defensive treasure had significantly diminished.

He planned to hand it over to Zhou Mingde once it was fully restored to its pristine condition.

By doing so, with the offensive and defensive support of the Three Suns True Flame Pot and the Wutu Diamond Shield, Zhou Mingde would be able to hold his own in battles against other Golden Elixir Early Phase cultivators, even if his cultivation techniques and Divine Skills were not as sophisticated as theirs.

“If I count the time carefully, it has been over four years since I left. Now that my Lifebound Dharma Treasure has been forged, I’ll first cure Taoist Friend Zeng of his stubborn ailment, and then I can return to the family!”

With this thought, Zhou Chun immediately left his cave dwelling and headed for the shop where Luo Qingni had registered during her stay in the city.

To his disappointment, Luo Qingni was still in seclusion, and the letters he had left behind previously remained untouched at the shop.

Left with no choice, he left another letter before redirecting himself to Tianzhi Tower.

His trip to Tianzhi Tower was, of course, for Yu Jinghua.

With the success of his Lifebound Dharma Treasure, Zhou Chun now had a certain level of confidence in eliminating this traitor of the Zhou Family.

The centuries-old grievances between them had finally reached a point where they could be settled!

To Zhou Chun’s satisfaction, according to the information from Tianzhi Tower, Yu Jinghua seemed to have lowered his guard in recent years, leaving the Commanding Spirit Sect’s mountain gates several times.

Of course, it was possible that the man was baiting his enemies, using himself as lure to draw out those with hostile intentions.

Yet, no matter the reason, the mere fact that Yu Jinghua had begun to move about was a positive sign.

In a few more years, his vigilance would inevitably weaken further.

After joyfully paying for the purchased intelligence, Zhou Chun went to notify Sun Yuanjing at the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion and asked him to summon the Taoist Friend Zeng for treatment.

Unsurprisingly, when it came to treating his own ailment, Taoist Friend Zeng was more anxious than anyone.

Less than half a month after Sun Yuanjing relayed Zhou Chun’s message, Taoist Friend Zeng arrived at Tianyuan Immortal City.

This time, he brought not only two concubines but also a red-robed youth with a Golden Core Stage cultivation level.

“This is my junior brother Yang Xiao. He will serve as a protector while Zhang Taoist Friend treats me,” Taoist Friend Zeng explained during their meeting, introducing the red-robed youth and his purpose for coming along.

Zhou Chun understood immediately that the so-called “protector” was nothing more than a monitor to keep an eye on him.

Still, he said nothing more and simply nodded lightly toward the red-robed youth, saying, “Greetings to Taoist Friend Yang. I am Zhang Liang.”

Yang Xiao, the red-robed youth, quickly returned the courtesy with a respectful bow and said, “Taoist Friend Zhang, Yang greets you. My senior brother’s ailment is in your capable hands.”

After this round of introductions, the impatient Taoist Friend Zeng soon led Zhou Chun to a secluded cave dwelling within the city.

Inside the dwelling, the two discussed the details of the treatment process once again before retreating into the closed-door chamber along with the other Golden Core Stage cultivators.

Before beginning the treatment, Zhou Chun wore a solemn expression as he turned to Taoist Friend Zeng and said, “I have already informed you of all the necessary precautions. I must ask you to remember my words closely and not resist the Divine Skills released by my Dharma Treasure!”
