At these words, Zhou Chun immediately shook his head, speaking calmly, “Uncle, I’m fine, don’t worry about me. I won’t quibble over these things with him.”

Then, with a tone of puzzlement, he added, “But if he has any grievances against me, Uncle, the reason you mentioned could explain it. However, why wouldn’t he even show you, Uncle, any respect? Isn’t this just making trouble for himself openly?”

Zhou Jiasheng’s expression changed when he heard this, and a look of confusion appeared in his eyes.

Zhou Chun was right; Zhou Jiasheng couldn’t think of any reason why Zhou Zhengkang would have an issue with him either.

In the past, when Zhou Zhengkang saw him, he at least superficially maintained all proprieties. It was impossible for him to act as rudely and impudently as he had today.

But soon, as if he had come to a realization, his expression suddenly turned cold, and he said with a hint of annoyance, “I think I know why now. It must be because he knows he’s about to succeed in Foundation Establishment, so he reveals his true colors without hiding anymore. What a wolf-hearted villain hiding behind a gentle facade!”

By the end, Zhou Jiasheng himself ended up cursing out of anger.

Zhou Zhengkang was about to succeed in Foundation Establishment?

Zhou Chun was slightly taken aback when he heard Zhou Jiasheng’s words.

He immediately started inquiring about the details.

He was only aware that Zhou Zhengkang had broken through to the twelfth layer of the Qi Refinement Realm six months ago but had never thought that the other party would so swiftly attempt Foundation Establishment.

Confronted with Zhou Chun’s questioning, Zhou Jiasheng hesitated for a moment before nodding, “Zhengchun, you are also a core clan member of the Zhou Family, so I shall not hide it from you. Just make sure not to disclose this to anyone else.”

“Don’t worry, Uncle, I will definitely keep it to myself,” Zhou Chun promptly assured him with due seriousness.

And so, Zhou Jiasheng revealed the cooperation between the Zhou Family and the Li Family in making the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Originally, the reason the Zhou Family had used performances of kindness instead of distributing Spirit Coins as welfare to clan members when they first settled in Jiufeng Ridge was that they had pooled their Spirit Coins within the family to tackle several major affairs.

One of those affairs was to purchase Spiritual Medicines required for the Alchemy of the Foundation Establishment Pill and to collaborate with the Li Family in its creation.

Now, after years of preparation, all the necessary Spiritual Medicines had been procured, and the Li Family had conveniently started the Alchemy process.

This matter was known only to the Zhou Family’s Clan Leader, Elders, and a few older individuals with deeper seniority like Zhou Jiasheng.

Upon hearing Zhou Jiasheng’s revelation, Zhou Chun was filled with a sense of surging emotions, and couldn’t help but entertain some thoughts about the still-to-be-formed Foundation Establishment Pill.

Alas, he also knew that even if Clan Leader Zhou Daoyi was willing to advocate for him and give him a Foundation Establishment Pill, his current ninth layer Qi Refinement cultivation level was simply not enough to make use of it.

So, this batch of Foundation Establishment Pills was destined to be unrelated to him.

After revealing this secret, Zhou Jiasheng said through gritted teeth, “That boy Zhou Zhengkang is one of the family’s candidates for Foundation Establishment, and he is definitely going to be allocated some. With his high-grade Spirit Root Aptitude, it’s likely he’ll succeed with just one pill, and that’s why he’s so full of himself now!”

But is that really the case?

Zhou Chun felt that something didn’t add up when he heard this.

Even if Zhou Zhengkang did succeed in Foundation Establishment in the future and became an Elder of the Zhou Family, he would still be a generation younger than Zhou Jiasheng, and should reasonably show some respect when they met.

After all, respecting elders was a family rule personally established by the Supreme Elder, Zhou Mingde.

Zhou Zhengkang had no reason not to maintain at least that much of a façade, giving others no cause to criticize him.

Besides, he hadn’t succeeded in Foundation Establishment yet, had he?

Wasn’t he afraid that today’s incident might lead Clan Leader Zhou Daoyi to rescind his opportunity for the Foundation Establishment Pill?

This doubt lingered in Zhou Chun’s mind, but he chose not to voice it to Zhou Jiasheng.

Because Zhou Jiasheng’s current attitude was undoubtedly more favorable to him.
