Zhou Daoyi had actually dual cultivated with Lin Hongyu before!
When Zhou Chun learned of this from Zhou Mingde, he was also utterly shocked.
Overcome by an intense curiosity, he wanted to dig deep and ask for details right away.
However, out of consideration for Zhou Daoyi’s face, Zhou Mingde did not reveal the real details, merely saying it was a special situation that occurred by accident.
Although he was reluctant to spell it out, Zhou Chun, recalling the family’s past interactions with Lin Hongyu, could roughly guess when the incident happened.
Then, he began to feel rather complex emotions.
It made him think of his own acquaintance with Su Yuzhen.
In some sense, the emotional experiences of these two generations of Clan Leaders of the Zhou Family were quite similar.
No wonder Zhou Daoyi did not oppose his actions after his return from the Su Family.
With his wisdom, he of course understood what Zhou Mingde meant by "having thought it through."
Just like before with himself, Zhou Mingde must have been doing Zhou Daoyi’s ideological work over these years, attempting to get Zhou Daoyi to accept Lin Hongyu and welcome her into the Zhou Family.
Now, it seemed that Zhou Daoyi, just like him, finally couldn’t persist any longer and chose to compromise.
For this, Zhou Chun did not know whether to be happy or to lament.
If Lin Hongyu joined the Zhou Family, it would undoubtedly be a great boon.
With that, in addition to being a Golden Core family, the Zhou Family would be considered top-tier among cultivation clans.
Yet for Zhou Daoyi personally, making this choice must have been really tough!
But by now, since Zhou Daoyi had made his decision, what could Zhou Chun say?
He could only watch as Zhou Daoyi took Lin Wan’er and left the Zhou Family to meet Lin Hongyu in Cheng Country.
Less than half a month passed, and Lin Hongyu returned to Lanzhou with Zhou Daoyi.
But because the Ancestor of the Su Family was still stationed at the mountain gate of the Zhou Family, to prevent news from leaking, Zhou Mingde had to meet her outside the family grounds.
Their meeting went smoothly.
Lin Hongyu had agreed to become Dao partners with Zhou Daoyi and become the Honorary Supreme Elder of the Zhou Family.
She also agreed to go mine the Earth Origin Crystal Jade vein in Yang Kingdom.
However, she had her own demands.
She wanted to take Lin Wan’er with her to assist and asked the Zhou Family to finance the Formation and some Magic Artifacts and Elixirs needed for establishing her base.
The Zhou Family naturally would not refuse such a request.
Zhou Mingde personally went to order relevant Formation equipment from the You Family and took some Magic Artifacts and Elixirs from the Family Treasure Vault to give her.
Once all these items were in hand, Lin Hongyu did not delay at all, quickly setting off with Lin Wan’er.
The demon insect plague had been eradicated, and the reconstruction of Yang Kingdom had already begun; the sooner she arrived, the easier the situation would be to handle.
After all, the original cultivation forces in Yang Kingdom had suffered severe losses, with many cut off from their lineage.
Now, the land was almost a clean slate; whoever arrived first would have the advantage.
Lin Hongyu’s move to take over the area with the Earth Origin Crystal Jade vein was very normal and would not arouse suspicion.
Having settled Lin Hongyu and the Earth Origin Crystal Jade vein, the Zhou Family then had no more significant matters requiring the attention of high-level members like Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun.
The Zhou Family returned to the previous state of calm yet rapid development.
Soon, half a year passed, and the Ancestor of the Su Family fulfilled her agreement with the Zhou Family and retired to the Su Family upon completing her work.
And at his request, Su Yuzhen temporarily said goodbye to Zhou Chun to cultivate in solitude at the Su Family.
Zhou Chun did not feel much reluctance over Su Yuzhen’s departure.
Although their relationship had made significant progress in these two years, and they frequently discussed the Dual Cultivation Way together,
perhaps due to his personality, he really found it hard to develop strong attachment to any particular female cultivator.
Maybe in the quiet of the night, he would miss and reminisce about the joy of their intimate moments, but most of the time, he was focused on cultivation.
Zhou Chun was now particularly attentive to insect cultivation because he had recently had a thought: he wanted to use insect cultivation techniques to breed the Zhou Family’s domesticated Jade Spirit Bees and increase the population of this breed. Experience new tales on freewebnovel
Demon Bees are a type of demon insect commonly used by insect cultivators, but those used in battle are usually carnivorous and venomous bees.
Honey-producing bees like Jade Spirit Bees, with weak combat abilities, are usually cultivated by insect cultivators as economic insects to earn Spirit Coins for sustaining their insect swarms.
Insect Cultivator Han Yuan himself did not have much research on demon bees, as his research orientation was not centered on bees.
But fortunately, the Classic teachings passed down from Thousand Spirit Sect that he left behind contained ample knowledge about breeding honey-producing spirits bees, providing Zhou Chun with practical material to reference.

Furthermore, having domesticated the Jade Spirit Bees for so many years, the Zhou Family had their own records and research on these bees, which saved Zhou Chun much observational recording time.
Normally, with the reproductive speed of bee-type demon insects, the Zhou Family’s Jade Spirit Bee swarm should expand at an average rate of doubling every year.
However, the expansion of the Jade Spirit Bee swarm was actually restricted by two factors.
The first was the development of the demon insects; not all eggs laid by Jade Spirit Bees would grow into demon bees, as most eggs would become just large honeybees.
