At that time, Liang Sheng hadn’t allowed Emperor Wu to conquer other countries because he was waiting for Zhou Yun’s return. What Zhou Yun brought back this time would determine the measure of his plans in the future.
Originally, Liang Sheng was supposed to meet Zhou Yun on the agreed date in Emperor Wu’s 20th year, but Zhou Yun appeared early. Liang Sheng discovered him right away at the Xigu Pass.
However, Liang Sheng didn’t meet Zhou Yun immediately. He waited for a while, and after confirming that no one was following Zhou Yun, he finally appeared for their meeting.
By this time, Zhou Yun was nearing the end of his lifespan. Because of this, he appeared at the Xigu Pass earlier than planned. Zhou Yun was overjoyed to see Liang Sheng, as he brought back far more items than before.
For the past seven years, the amount of dynasty luck supplied by the Great Zhou had increased, and the Grand Elder of Refining Device Peak had refined a spirit tool. Chen Fengchen was appreciated by the Grand Elder and became a true disciple, which naturally raised Zhou Yun’s status.
The manager of the Huatian Sect in the Immortal Cultivation Market was increasingly polite to him, since Zhou Yun’s lifespan was nearing its end, they tried not to offend him.
However, Zhou Yun’s failure to succeed in Qi Training caused doubt and pity, as his fortune seemed inadequate in the end.
After his return, Zhou Yun had accumulated many Qi Refining Pills due to the increasing luck of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which allowed him to gain more items.
He even obtained the Refining Art, which, although of an ordinary level in the Market, was far better than the poor level of the Grand Ancestor of Dayan.
Zhou Yun also sold all the talismans that Liang Sheng had made for him earlier, in exchange for refining materials. Pursuing materials with higher spirituality was indeed necessary for refining, since the spiritual power in mortal world was thinner and thus spiritual grass to refine Qi pills was more likely to appear.
Zhou Yun couldn’t help but feel guilty about this, but Liang Sheng assured him that he had done well enough. Hearing this, Zhou Yun was slightly relieved.
However, upon learning that Zhou Hua had passed away, Zhou Yun couldn’t help but feel sad, but he didn’t say much, as birth, aging, sickness, and death were part of the human life cycle.
In the 18th year of Emperor Wu, Zhou Yun’s life came to an end in Zhou Village. Liang Sheng arranged for him to be buried alongside Zhou Hua, thereby fulfilling the wish of the Zhou brothers.
Based on the information from Zhou Yun, Liang Sheng temporarily stopped further attempts to explore the Cultivation World, as he had enough items at his disposal. Therefore, sending more people to the Cultivation World would not bring much benefit.
From then on, Liang Sheng’s daily life became more regular: cultivating, drawing talismans, refining pills, practicing curse imprinting techniques, as well as refining equipment using the techniques brought by Zhou Yun. As a result, he had much less leisure time.
No wonder the loose cultivators in the Immortal Cultivation World’s Market were so busy; with their dedication to cultivation, they had no desire to be involved in the secular world. It could only be said that the path of cultivation was extremely difficult.
Liang Sheng originally thought he could live a precarious life for a while, at least until the hundred-year mark when he could contact the Cultivation World again, but accidents always happen.
He could not find any spiritual grass for refining pills anymore.
In Wu Emperor’s twentieth year, all the spiritual grass that could be used to refine Qi Refining Pills in the Great Zhou Dynasty, including Western Spring Country, was depleted. No matter how hard Liang Sheng tried to issue orders in the name of the Great Zhou to search for them, they were almost impossible to find.
Upon further thought, Liang Sheng felt relieved, as the spiritual energy in the secular world was already thinner than that in the Cultivation World. Hence, it was more difficult for these spiritual grasses to be born in the secular world compared to the Cultivation World.
Moreover, Liang Sheng had been honing his pill refining skills day and night for so many years. How could the spiritual grass in the secular world withstand such consumption?
At this point, Liang Sheng was already used to being aided by Qi Refining Pills in his cultivation. How could he go back to the bitter days of the past?
So, in the twentieth year of Emperor Wu, in the court of the capital, Emperor Wu suddenly ordered that Zhou Biliang be summoned. Soon after, a royal decree shocked the world.
The Great Zhou Dynasty would conquer the East Sun Country!
Upon hearing this news, everyone believed in Emperor Wu, and the entire machinery of the Great Zhou moved into action.
Zhou Biliang, once again carrying the Emperor’s Sword, personally led an army to invade the East Sun Country.
In the meantime, Liang Sheng reopened the passage to the Immortal Cultivation Market. He couldn’t waste the time it took him to invade the East Sun country and decided to continue refining pills and weapons simultaneously, not wasting any opportunity.
He summoned two Zhou family elders, Zhou Nan and Zhou Chi, both of whom had slow cultivation progress but were fanatically devoted to Liang Sheng and the family since childhood.
After receiving Liang Sheng’s guidance, they immediately went to the Xigu Pass with a Black Iron Command Tablet.
Zhou Nan was born with one less meridian and had an extremely slow cultivation progress. Thus, he took over Zhou Yun’s previous job.
Zhou Chi, on the other hand, lived in a small town beneath the Xigu Pass to support Zhou Nan. However, Liang Sheng didn’t leave the matter to just them; he secretly observed them, but didn’t think they would encounter any problems.
After all, the secular world had little importance to the Cultivation World besides the dynasty luck. Who would bother to glance at the mortal world while being busy with cultivation?
Three days after Zhou Nan entered the Cultivation World’s Market, he reappeared in the secular world, as he had previously arranged with Zhou Chi.
Not far away, Liang Sheng saw him and breathed a sigh of relief. Zhou Chi had been waiting at the Xigu Pass these days, but he was ten miles away from the cave.
After Zhou Nan and Zhou Chi rendezvoused, Liang Sheng was still in the thick fog of the cave, making sure no one else was around before he completely relaxed.
It wasn’t that Liang Sheng didn’t trust Zhou Nan. After all, the mysterious Zhou family bloodline had an amazing ability to seek fortune and avoid evil, which even Liang Sheng didn’t understand to this day..
