Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

"Follow me; we're heading over there!"

Inside the Black Dragon Branch Temple, Zhou Chun automatically became the leader of the Zhou Family team after Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde left the group.

Activating the power of his gaze, he swiftly scanned his surroundings and beckoned to the four Zhou Family elders, charging with them in a certain direction.

The direction they chose wasn't where a Formation base was located.

Such places were heavily guarded by the Black Dragon Hall forces and might even have Golden Core Stage Cultivators' measures left there, places beyond the reach of mere Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators like them.

And the command passed down by Taoist Mingjing was only to break into the Black Dragon Branch Temple, do their best to injure the enemy forces, and destroy the Formation bases.

Therefore, Zhou Chun had now chosen a path that would not conflict with Taoist Mingjing's orders while also gaining some rewards.

The place they were rushing toward was a Spirit Peak within the Black Dragon Branch Temple, a Spirit Peak with medicinal fields!

Zhou Chun, who had once infiltrated the Dragon Transformation Sect for a period, knew that although the sect had been rooted in this Wasteland Territory for less than a thousand years, the medicinal fields within each of their branch temples and strongholds contained many valuable items.

Thanks to the abundance of Spiritual Medicine resources inherent to the Wasteland Territory, Cultivators of the Dragon Transformation Sect would transplant any several-hundred-year-old Spiritual Medicines they discovered back to their Branch Temple Gates' medicine fields—unless the medicines were immediately usable or were varieties like the Purple Pattern Golden Peach that didn't transplant well.

Thus, although the Black Dragon Branch Temple might not have been established for even seven hundred years, there was certainly no shortage of valuable items in its medicine fields.

Normally, medicine gardens were crucial areas that would be heavily defended.

But now, many of the Black Dragon Hall Cultivators had been deployed to plug the breaches, with their primary task being to drive out the Jingguo Country Cultivators who had breached the temple, thus leaving areas like the rear medicine gardens somewhat exposed.

Moreover, the few Zhou Family members were in relatively good condition, and with Zhou Chun and Daoquan, two powerful Foundation Establishment Cultivators, leading the way, they quickly tore open an opening and charged into the Black Dragon Branch Temple first.

Honestly, this kind of deep penetration by a lone force was extremely risky.

Because if a change occurred in the rear and an order for retreat was issued, they were very likely to be abandoned inside.

But Zhou Chun knew that the high echelons of the three major Sects would not easily pass up the opportunity after expending so much effort to break the Guardian Great Formation of the Black Dragon Branch Temple, so even if an abrupt retreat order were to come, it wouldn't happen right at the start.

That's why he dared to choose to seek wealth amidst danger, seizing this chance to make a big haul!

As it turned out, he had made the right choice.

When they arrived at the base of that Spirit Peak, there wasn't a single Foundation Establishment Cultivator coming out to intercept them, only a few Qi Refinement Realm Cultivators still delusionally trying to resist desperately using the Formation inherent to the Medicine Garden.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun decisively gave the order, "Elder Three and I will stay behind to guard and block the enemy. Elders Two, Eleven, and Twenty-Seven, you three quickly gather the Spiritual Medicines!"

After giving the order, he and Zhou Daoquan positioned themselves on either side of the Spirit Peak, with their respective two second-order Spirit Pets circling close by vigilantly.

Zhou Chongshan, seeing this, also did not hesitate to lead Zhou Jiarui and Zhou Jiapeng up the Spirit Peak.

The Formation intrinsic to the Medicine Garden appeared almost nonexistent to him, an Array Master, and he easily disrupted it, killing all the Dragon Transformation Sect Cultivators inside who were putting up a futile resistance. Find more to read at My Virtual Library Empire

Once inside the Medicine Garden, the sight of all those Spirit Medicines brimming with Spiritual Power immediately dazzled the eyes of the three Zhou Family Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

"So many old Spiritual Medicines!"

Zhou Jiarui's eyes widened as he looked at the various Spiritual Medicines in the Medicine Garden.

Even though he wasn't a professional Alchemist, by comparing them with the Classics he had read, he recognized many kinds of medicines that were at least five hundred years old at a glance.

Zhou Chongshan, who had seen the wider world, after the initial shock, quickly spotted the key points and couldn't help sighing softly, "What a pity there are no thousand-year Spiritual Medicines!"

Aside from special Spiritual Medicines like the Thousand Year Grass, most thousand-year-old Spirit Medicines were an entirely different level compared to those that were less than a thousand years old.

For Golden Core Stage Cultivators, only Elixirs made from thousand-year Spiritual Medicines could have an effect on them, whether it was Elixirs to improve Mana or for healing and detoxification.

Usually, when a Spiritual Medicine reached a thousand years, even if it was public property of a Sect or a Family, it would be transplanted into the private Medicine Gardens of Golden Core Stage Cultivators for their personal care and guard.

The Spirit Peak that Zhou Chun and the others were now plundering was indeed a Medicine Garden in the Black Dragon Branch Temple, but it was not the most important one, and there were no Golden Core Stage Cultivators' caves there.

Thus, while there was an abundance of medicines with over five hundred years of medicinal age, there was not a single thousand-year medicine.

However, Zhou Chongshan merely expressed his sentiment and moved on.

Actually, the absence of thousand-year Medicines might not be a bad thing.

If there were such high-level items, even if the Zhou Family took them, it would be very troublesome to handle.

In contrast, these several hundred-year-old Spiritual Medicines were exactly what the Zhou Family needed the most, suitable for refining Elixirs for both Foundation Establishment and Purple Mansion Cultivators.

So the three of them quickly took out many jade boxes from their Storage Pouches and began to collect the old Spiritual Medicines in the garden generously.

This was all thanks to Zhou Chun's foresight, knowing that the Wasteland Territory was rich in Spiritual Medicines; it was possible they would come in handy.

So, on this trip, apart from the Elixir Talismans and Magic Artifacts they needed, the Storage Pouches of all Zhou Family Cultivators were mostly filled with these kinds of jade boxes.
