Chapter 219: Enlightening the Golden Monkey, Shocking Bad News [Subscribe Requested]
Zhou Daoyi quickly entered a state of closed-door cultivation.
Meanwhile, Zhou Chun heeded Master Qingwei's warning and did not leave the sect again.
Now, there were indeed many matters within the Zhou Family that required his leadership and organization.
First was the war that could erupt at any moment.
With the three major sects poised to campaign against the Dragon Transformation Sect to the south, they would surely need a large conscription effort, and the Zhou Family had to prepare in advance, deciding which Clan Members would be sent to join the battle.
To increase the survival rate of these Clan Members in the conflict, it was also necessary to prepare relevant supplies such as Talismans and Elixirs in advance.
Additionally, there were matters regarding the establishment of the Frontier Base; plans for personnel and resources also needed to be made in advance.
However, these matters could be arranged gradually, as there was plenty of time.
Zhou Chun now had another important matter that required his immediate attention.
He brought the Vajra Monkey that was guarding the Central Peace Hall to his residence's courtyard, and then said to the old monkey, "Monkey, your opportunity has come. This Purple Pattern Golden Peach is for you. Do not let Zhou down and fulfill the great expectations I have for you!"
As he spoke, he slapped his Storage Pouch and took out the Purple Pattern Golden Peach that had been prepared for this old monkey.
After Lin Hongyu successfully acquired what she wanted, she kept her word and gave the other two Purple Pattern Golden Peaches to the Zhou Family.
Zhou Chun then took one of them to help the Vajra Monkey achieve its breakthrough and advancement.
Because he had discussed this matter with the Vajra Monkey before, the monkey looked at the fragrant and tempting Spirit Peach in his hand with drooling appetite.
Having dealt with humans in the Zhou Family for a long time, this old monkey had grown quite astute.
He immediately knelt down, with his hands repeatedly folded in front of him, and bowed to Zhou Chun, "Your humble servant thanks the Vice Clan Leader for his profound kindness; I shall certainly not disappoint you!"
"Then you shall undergo your breakthrough here in my courtyard!"
Zhou Chun said, as he tossed the Purple Pattern Golden Peach to the old monkey.
Seeing this, the old monkey on the ground quickly leaped up to catch the Spirit Peach, and then, right in front of Zhou Chun, he ate it in a few bites, leaving only the pit.
Zhou Chun, upon seeing this, immediately said, "Give that pit to Zhou as well. It might also be possible to plant a Spirit Peach tree from it!"
Hearing this, the old monkey handed over the pit and then quickly found a spot under the eaves in the courtyard to lie down and close his eyes, digesting the medicinal power of the Spirit Peach within his body.
"Stone, keep an eye on it, and inform me immediately if anything happens."
Looking at the old monkey under the eaves for a while, Zhou Chun then instructed the Golden Armor Rock Turtle lying in the courtyard.
Whenever he was at his family's estate, the Golden Armor Rock Turtle, Stone, was generally lying directly in the courtyard guarding the door for him.
As for the Silver Lightning Python, Baibai, and Golden Winged Tiger, they were not very willing to stay in the rather confined courtyard; they had found comfortable spots to rest on Pagoda Peak themselves.
After all, everyone in the Zhou Family knew they were Zhou Chun's Spirit Pets, so there was no fear of anyone harming them.
They also had Zhou Chun's instructions and would absolutely not harm any Human Clan Cultivators or Demon Beasts within the sect.
Having dealt with the Vajra Monkey's evolution and breakthrough, Zhou Chun began to busy himself with other family affairs.
One day, as Zhou Chun was handling clan duties in the Central Peace Hall, a terrible piece of news suddenly arrived.
It turned out that his parents in the mortal world had passed away together!
Upon receiving this news, Zhou Chun was momentarily stunned; after making further inquiries about the situation, he went up to the mountaintop dwelling to explain the situation to the Supreme Elder, Zhou Mingde.
Only after getting Zhou Mingde's permission did he leave the sect and rush to the settlement of his secular Clan Members.
Before long, Zhou Chun arrived at the estate where his parents resided.

Due to Zhou Chun's influence, his parents and siblings enjoyed extremely high rank in the area where the mortal Zhou Family Members lived, with a residence that was no less than that of nobility, and their lifestyle was even more lavish than that of ordinary nobles.
And over the decades, the children of his brothers and sisters had grown up and started their own families.
Therefore, there were now two to three dozen relatives, both young and old, residing in this estate.
When they saw the Vice Clan Leader of the Zhou Family arrive, his brothers and sisters hurriedly brought their families over to greet him and pay their respects.
Zhou Chun patiently waited for everyone to finish their greetings and then directly addressed his siblings, "Eldest sister, second brother, the rest of you stay, the younger ones should leave for now!"
Naturally, no one dared to disobey his words.
So, aside from the five siblings, all the others quickly left the courtyard.
Zhou Chun then glanced at the coffins of his parents in the ancestral hall, and suddenly asked his brothers and sisters, "Father and mother were not even eighty, with all the Panaceas and Spirit Pills I've fed them over the years, it was not certain they would live to be a hundred, but they should have lived to their nineties, how could they have suddenly passed away together?"
Hearing his question, his second brother immediately shook his head and waved his hands, saying, "Third brother, don't get the wrong idea, we definitely did not dare show any disrespect to our parents!"
The eldest sister also chimed in, "Yes, yes, with the Panaceas and Spirit Pills you provided, father and mother were indeed in robust health. We are just as perplexed by their sudden passing, and neither the doctors nor the Immortal Masters could determine the cause!"
