After receiving guidance from Zhou Chun, Luo Qingni was no longer confused or hesitant about transforming the Elixir and forming an Infant. She immediately thought of going into seclusion to transform the Elixir and form an Infant.

However, Zhou Chun advised her not to be too anxious and suggested she spend a few more years thoroughly reviewing everything she had learned and experienced in her life to understand her true intentions clearly.

He also subtly mentioned that he could provide her with a spiritual object to help her overcome the "Heart Demon Calamity" when the time came.

Upon learning this, Luo Qingni was naturally delighted and expressed her gratitude to him on the spot.

She also promised him then and there that she would compile and organize all her lifelong alchemy techniques and experiences before transforming the Elixir and forming an Infant, keeping them by her side.

In this way, if she were to fail and perish, the detailed alchemy inheritance she left behind as an Alchemy Grandmaster would belong to the Zhou Family, as a return for Zhou Chun's help over the years.

Zhou Chun was also quite gratified by this.

What mattered to him was not how generous Luo Qingni's return was, but her attitude.

Luo Qingni's attitude indicated that she truly recognized Zhou Chun and acknowledged the Zhou Family now.

Thus, even if she succeeds in forming an Infant in the future, she will undoubtedly have no intention of leaving and will wholeheartedly remain with the Zhou Family.

This is undoubtedly an excellent prospect for the Zhou Family.

Similarly, for an Alchemy Grandmaster, the significant difference in lifespan between a Golden Core Stage Cultivator and a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator would greatly alter their value to a sect.

A newly advanced Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, conservatively estimated, could live for over a thousand years longer.

With her alchemy skills, who knows how many high-level elixirs she'll produce in those thousand years, benefitting countless future cultivators.

From this perspective, Zhou Chun genuinely hoped that Luo Qingni could succeed!

After the conversation with Luo Qingni, Zhou Chun also handed her some Spiritual Medicine he had collected, asking her to help refine them into some finished elixirs.

According to Zhou Chun's plan, once these elixirs were refined, he would secretly take the Flame Prison Phoenix to go through the tribulation.

That day, while Zhou Chun was cultivating in his cave abode, he suddenly received a Communication Talisman from Zhou Daoyi.

After reading the contents of the Communication Talisman, his brows rose slightly, and he quickly replied.

Soon, an "old acquaintance" was led to Zhou Chun's cave abode by Zhou Daoyi.

"Qin Yang pays respect to Chunjun True Person."

Inside the cave, a resolute-looking middle-aged man immediately bowed deeply to Zhou Chun to express his respect upon seeing him.

"So it's Taoist Friend Qin! We haven't seen each other for years, and you've already cultivated to the Golden Core Middle Stage. Congratulations!"

Zhou Chun nodded slightly at the long-unseen acquaintance, not giving him any special treatment despite his association with the Sunflame Sect.

This old acquaintance, who came from the Sunflame Sect, was Qin Ming, the Purple Mansion Late Stage cultivator who had helped Zhou Chun subdue the Flame Prison Phoenix years ago.

Back then, he had been poisoned by the Flame Prison Peacock, which not only delayed his Core Formation but also made him extremely unsightly.

Later, thanks to the assistance of Zhou Yuanlian, who helped detoxify him, he benefited from the misfortune and successfully achieved Core Formation afterward.

However, despite Zhou Chun holding the Nascent Soul Grand Ceremony previously, he never came to offer congratulations. His sudden visit now made his intentions obvious.

Though Zhou Chun roughly guessed the other's intent, he wasn't quick to reveal it.

Hearing Zhou Chun's words, Qin Yang appeared both honored and nervous, repeatedly saying, "After all these years, it's truly my privilege that Senior still remembers me."

"Zhou Mou's memory has always been quite good. Those who have shown kindness to Zhou Mou, and those with whom there is enmity, it is all clearly remembered."

Zhou Chun smiled subtly, his words laden with meaning.

This instantly caused Qin Yang's expression to change slightly, replying awkwardly, "Yes, indeed."

He then fell silent.

Zhou Chun didn't urge him but simply looked at him, applying some pressure.

It was less than half a quarter of an hour before Qin Yang, under pressure, could no longer maintain his silence.

He mustered up the courage to lift his head, glanced at Zhou Chun, and then immediately lowered it again, saying respectfully, "Senior Zhou's wisdom is deep as the ocean; you probably foresaw the intentions of my visit long ago. I won't flaunt any petty tricks before you."

"To be honest, Senior, my visit this time, per the instructions of Ancestor Baiyang, is to discuss the heritage spiritual treasure of our sect with you."

He looked up again at Zhou Chun's expression after saying this.

However, Zhou Chun's face showed no change, simply watching him with a neutral expression.

This allowed Qin Yang to breathe a sigh of relief, and he quickly continued, "Ancestor Baiyang is aware that with the enmity between Senior Zhou and our sect's Ziyang Ancestor, asking you to return the heritage spiritual treasure is indeed somewhat unrealistic."

"But after all, it is the heritage spiritual treasure of our sect, created and passed down by our founding ancestor. Its significance to our sect is extraordinarily special. Even a glimmer of hope must drive our junior cultivators to seek its retrieval with all our might, so as not to let down the spirit of our ancestor in heaven!"

After speaking, Qin Yang bowed his head apprehensively, as if waiting for judgment.

Truthfully, upon receiving this mission, his heart was filled with reluctance.
