Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

An experience traveling on a Golden Core Stage Cultivator's Dharma Treasure had intensified Zhou Chun's yearning to reach higher cultivation realms.

If money could resolve ninety-nine percent of problems in his previous life, then in this world, one's Cultivation Level could solve one hundred percent of problems!

With a high Cultivation Realm, one could obtain anything, including longevity.

Therefore, he ought to cultivate with an even more committed and proactive mindset than he had when making money, striving to one day achieve the state where one slash of the sword could sever three thousand threads of worldly distraction.

"Zhengchun, what's wrong?"

In the wilderness, Zhou Chun's odd demeanor finally caught the attention of others. Zhou Daoyi immediately asked him.

This question abruptly pulled Zhou Chun's wandering thoughts back to reality.

After organizing his thoughts, he couldn't help but sigh lightly and said, "Nothing, I just suddenly felt envious of the Divine Skills of Golden Elixir Cultivators like Senior Li."

Hearing his words, Zhou Daoyi and the other Zhou Family Cultivators who were also concerned about him seemed to be reminded of something and fell into deep thought as well.

Then they heard Zhou Mingde let out a sigh and said, "Indeed, who wouldn't envy the Divine Skills of Golden Core Stage Cultivators! To grasp stars and moon from the heavens, slay Flood Dragons across the seas, and roam freely among the nations—what a carefree and joyful life that is!"

After speaking, he shook his head repeatedly and said, "Difficult, difficult, difficult! In Jingguo Country, there are countless cultivators, but the number of those who have achieved Golden Core Stage over a thousand years does not even reach a hundred. To form a Golden Core is truly difficult!"

The three repeated "difficult" underscored the immense challenge he felt in forming a Golden Core.

With over one thousand seven hundred years of the Zhou Family legacy, excluding Yu Jinghua, an outsider Golden Core Cultivator, there had only been three Golden Core Stage Cultivators from the family, including the founding ancestor!

This underscores just how challenging it is to achieve Golden Core!

At this point, Zhou Daoyi also nodded and said, "Indeed, achieving Golden Core is extremely difficult!"

Then, his tone changed, and he suddenly turned to Zhou Chun and said, "But Zhengchun, if you cultivate diligently, you still have some chances. If anyone in our Zhou Family has the opportunity to achieve Golden Core, it must be you, Zhengchun!"

"Daoyi is right. Zhengchun, you are the only one in our Zhou Family who has successfully cultivated the top-tier techniques. If you can reach the late Purple Mansion Phase one day, your chances of forming a Golden Core will definitely be much higher than ours!"

Zhou Mingde nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Zhou Daoyi's words.

Hearing the two of them, Zhou Chun also replied seriously, "I will certainly cultivate diligently!"

He didn't make any promises, because any promises now would be meaningless.

Once innate talent could no longer be changed, the only thing Cultivators could do in their practice was "effort."

Later, as Zhou Mingde and others, including Zhou Chun, were in a hurry to return to the family and arrange other matters, they took one or two Qi Refinement Realm Cultivators from their family and flew directly back to Jiufeng Ridge.

Upon returning to the ridge, Zhou Mingde contacted Lin Hongyu using the method she had provided.

At this time, the Dragon Transformation Sect, too, became tense due to the sudden and unusual action of the three major sects calling the "Great Assembly of a Hundred Clans."

The higher-ups of the Dragon Transformation Sect were no fools; they couldn't be fooled about the true intentions behind the "Great Assembly of a Hundred Clans."

But they were also eager to understand the confidence that enabled the three major sects to rally all the Cultivation clans of the nation for an all-out battle against them.

Without clarity on this point, they would be hesitant and dare not commit fully to the fight.

Meanwhile, intel from various families at the "Great Assembly of a Hundred Clans" was sent back en masse through arranged spies.

The information of the top thirty Cultivation families was especially prioritized.

Zhou Chun's display of the Thunder Python Transforming into a Flood Dragon technique had shocked the intelligence agents of the Dragon Transformation Sect, who promptly marked it as key intelligence to be reported back.

This important intel was not only detailed in text but also accompanied by portraits.

As the Dragon Transformation Sect's intelligence personnel reviewed the information sent back, they only needed to examine Zhou Chun's portrait for a moment before immediately recognizing him as the spy wanted by the Golden Dragon Branch Altar.

Thus, driven by their desire for the "Ancestral Resurrection" technique and hatred for the undercover spy,

the Golden Core Stage Cultivator in charge of intelligence at the Dragon Transformation Sect immediately issued an A-level bounty order for Zhou Chun after reviewing the intel, encouraging the sect's protectors to infiltrate Jingguo Country and capture Zhou Chun alive by offering an A-level bounty suitable for Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators.

This A-level bounty order quickly spread to all protector-level Cultivators within the Dragon Transformation Sect, and naturally, Lin Hongyu of the Red Dragon Hall was no exception.

After receiving the bounty order and the information about Zhou Chun and the Zhou Family documented within, her expression immediately changed.

"Well done, I knew there was a reason they were informed about Guan Cheng's acquisition of the Purple Pattern Golden Peaches from the Golden Dragon Hall. It turns out they had planted spies in our sect all along!"

Her expression darkened as she paced back and forth in the room, muttering to herself, "Should I tell them about this? Or should I use this opportunity to teach them a lesson about the consequences of playing games with me?"

Torn by hesitation, she found it difficult to make a decision.

At this moment, she also vaguely felt that the Zhou Family's attitude toward their cooperation might have changed.
