Green Lotus Peak.

When Zhou Chun brought Zhou Mingde back to the family mountain gate, the anxious Zhou Daoyi, who had been waiting for news, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Due to the seriousness of the matter, he did not dare to easily reveal the news to others, and could only endure the anxiety and suffering alone.

Now seeing that Zhou Mingde was not seriously hurt, he finally felt at ease.

Of course, he began to inquire with concern about the details.

After Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun explained the situation clearly, he exclaimed with a face full of relief, "This is truly a blessing in disguise, Zhengchun, luckily you arrived in time and had the right Elixir, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

"Indeed, I owe my life to Zhengchun this time!"

Zhou Mingde also echoed with a sigh, his words filled with gratitude towards Zhou Chun.

Though he was an old hand who had weathered many storms, situations where one's life hangs by a thread were not common, and every such experience left him deeply moved.

Moreover, this experience solidified his decision never to venture out alone in the future, to avoid worrying the younger generation of the family again.

He did not want to create unnecessary trouble for the young ones because of his own actions.

"You two elders overestimate, all these are merely the responsibilities of the younger generation."

Zhou Chun did not mind the trouble Zhou Mingde got into this time, as he too had caused quite a few incidents during his adventures, knowing these are unavoidable risks in exploring the Cultivation World.

Since the elders did not blame him when he created trouble himself, how could he blame the seniors now?

After this exchange, Zhou Chun advised the injured Zhou Mingde to return to his abode for recovery, and then went back to his own abode to assess his gains and losses from the journey.

The rescue mission in Wuyang Country undoubtedly cost Zhou Chun dearly.

His Incarnation's Cultivation Level suffered significant depletion in the Void Secret Realm, and it was uncertain how long it would take to recover.

Additionally, both the Golden Winged Tiger and Silver Dragon Monarch were slightly injured, requiring a period of rest to recover.

Yet, despite his losses, the rewards gained were substantial.

With a wave over his waist storage pouch, Zhou Chun held several earth-yellow crystal stones.

These were fragments of the energy core shattered from the Rocky Giant.

The unbroken energy core at the time was somewhat similar to the Snow Charm demon core possessed by Zhou Chun's Incarnation, seemingly crafted from the heart cores of stone monsters and mountain spirits.

The Rocky Giant's strength was at the Fifth Order, and if indeed the core was made from spirit monster demon king's core, wouldn't it be implied that the Jinyue Sect person killed a Fifth-order Spirit Monster Demon King?

Zhou Chun thought it seemed unlikely.

The energy core was probably crafted using the demon core of a high-grade Fourth-order spirit monster and possibly infused with other Spiritual Objects, resulting in a qualitative transformation into a Fifth-order Demon Core!

Undoubtedly, as a Fifth Order Puppet creation, the Rocky Giant surpassed all prior Fifth Order Puppets Zhou Chun had seen in terms of craftsmanship and power.

It held a powerful energy core that could draw nature's spiritual energy to restore Mana, repairing bodily damage, almost akin to a genuine Fifth-order Demon King!

This unique puppet creation, Zhou Chun had never seen nor heard of before.

Regrettably, it was destroyed by his own hands, and likely never to be seen again.

After examining the crystal stone fragments, Zhou Chun summoned the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer, Stone, to see if they could be utilized.

Upon hearing Zhou Chun's words, the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer immediately swallowed a crystal fragment with no hesitation, using the simplest, most direct method to test its usefulness.

After a while, its eyes brightened, nodding repeatedly to Zhou Chun, joyfully expressing its wants through their mental connection.

According to its message, the effects of the crystal fragments were somewhat similar to Demon Cores, capable of being digested and transformed into its Cultivation Level.

Furthermore, the crystal fragments were of high quality, promising excellent absorption effects.

This matched Zhou Chun's initial assessment.

Even the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer could digest some high-grade earth-element ores to enhance its Cultivation Level.

"Since these are useful to you, take them and digest them well."

Zhou Chun smiled slightly, handing over all the crystal fragments to the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer, allowing it to return to its lair for solitary digestion.

If results were favorable, the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer might even trigger a Heavenly Thunder Tribulation after digesting these crystal fragments.

Once dealing with the crystal fragments from the Rocky Giant, Zhou Chun took out the storage pouch obtained from Pang Zhenyue to examine and inventory its contents.

Being a Golden Core Late Stage cultivator, Pang Zhenyue had spent several days in the Void Secret Realm, certainly with abundant harvests.

Upon opening his storage pouch, Zhou Chun found, aside from the Everlasting Grass discovered by Zhou Mingde, it contained various rare Spiritual Medicines of considerable age, along with numerous Spirit Fruits and Fourth-Grade Spirit Wood.
