Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

In their rush against time, they didn't even care about the loss of potency when harvesting some Spiritual Medicine, brutally digging it out of the earth and shoveling it into jade boxes along with the soil.

Meanwhile, the cultivators of the Black Dragon Hall, who were pursuing the Zhou Family's team, had descended to the base of the mountain.

There were fewer of them than the Zhou Family members, only four Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Among them, however, there was one late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator and two mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

All four simultaneously executed the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique to charge up the hill, where Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoquan, along with their four Spirit Pets, hurriedly intercepted them, and a fierce battle ensued on the outskirts of Spirit Peak.

Zhou Chun waved his sleeve, and the Sun Glare Wheel spun rapidly like a cogwheel, darting with unparalleled sharpness towards a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Dragon Transformation Sect.

When he had spent so many Spirit Coins to buy this Magic Artifact, he had felt a pinch.

But as he grew familiar with it and used it multiple times in combat, he became ever more satisfied with his decision.

When he fully powered the artifact with his Golden Soup Magical Power, the radiant light from the wheel's blades was second to none compared to the glint of Flying Swords, and it packed an even heavier punch.

It could be said that, aside from its inability to work with Sword techniques or secret techniques as a Flying Sword would, this wheel surpassed common second-order, high-grade Flying Swords in sharpness and lethality.

Seeing the might of the golden wheel, the mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Dragon Transformation Sect didn't dare confront its edge head-on, despite the enhanced physical defenses his Dragon Transformation Secret Technique provided, and urgently summoned a dark, lusterless iron staff to meet the golden wheel.

After clashing in the air a few times, the dark light from the iron staff was shattered by the wheel, leaving several marks on the staff's body.

This sight caused the complexion of the Dragon Transformation Sect cultivator to change slightly, and he quickly brought out a blue-black treasure vase as another artifact.

With a flick of his spell, a burst of white cold Qi spewed out from the vase, instantly turning into three cold Qi arrows shooting towards Zhou Chun and the Silver Lightning Python, Baibai.

Zhou Chun, seeing this, didn't dare to be careless and quickly summoned the Profound Spirit Gold Bell to shield himself.

Two cold Qi arrows hit the golden bell, instantly encasing both the bell and Zhou Chun within in ice.

The third arrow aimed at the Silver Lightning Python, Baibai, was blown apart mid-flight by one of its thunderballs.

The dispersed force froze the surrounding grass, trees, and rocks on impact, demonstrating extraordinary might.

At the same time, while Zhou Chun, along with his artifact, was trapped in ice, the Dragon Transformation Sect cultivator immediately approached.

He knew well that Zhou Chun couldn't be frozen for long, and so planned to get close to Zhou Chun before he could free himself, then use his own close-combat prowess, enhanced by the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique, to eliminate Zhou Chun.

However, Zhou Chun broke free faster than he had anticipated.

Just as he got within a hundred yards of Zhou Chun, the ice encasing Zhou Chun cracked with a "crack" and exploded into countless ice shards falling to the ground.

And a beam of crimson light shot out in an instant, heading straight for the oncoming Dragon Transformation Sect cultivator.

Taken aback by this unexpected development, he had no time to dodge and could only activate his Body Protection Spell, spewing out a cloud of black light to shield himself, then instinctively clawed forward.

Clang!

A melodious metallic clashing sound echoed as the crimson light was deflected by a sweep of the cultivator's claw, revealing a Crimson Gold Flying Claw artifact.

The Dragon Transformation Sect cultivator's hand was torn, dripping with blood, a sign of a serious external injury.

"I'll have you dead!"

The pain in his right claw made the Dragon Transformation Sect cultivator's eyes narrow, filled with violent killing intent.

He advanced rather than retreating, spitting out a mass of black water that transformed into a Water Dragon, lunging at Zhou Chun.

This was the Black Evil True Water that he had cultivated using a Black Dragon Hall secret technique, able to corrode and dissolve anything, even damaging the essence of second-order artifacts upon contact.

This technique was not easy to master and required some special Spiritual Objects as materials; it was his last resort, seldom utilized freely.

But Zhou Chun, having once been an undercover agent in the Dragon Transformation Sect and being particularly close to Lu Ran, a former Protector of the Dragon Transformation Sect, was familiar with some well-known secret techniques of various branches, having investigated and understood them.

```

This "Black Sha True Water" secret technique, as the unique secret of the Black Dragon Hall, also has quite a reputation, and Zhou Chun would certainly know of it.

As soon as he saw the black Water Dragon charging at him, he hurriedly slapped his Storage Pouch and activated a Talisman.

A flash of fire appeared, and a crimson Fire Dragon met the black Water Dragon in midair, exploding with a boom.

And so, Zhou Chun used a second-grade mid-quality "Fire Dragon Talisman" to break the "Black Sha True Water" secret technique of the Cultivator from the Dragon Transformation Sect and then launched another "Flying Dragon Snatch" to attack him.

The Cultivator from the Dragon Transformation Sect had already experienced the ferocity of the "Flying Dragon Snatch" and did not dare to catch it with his claws again, and he could only use a black Dragon Scale shield to fend off the Crimson Gold Flying Claw attack while tossing out several second-grade low-quality Talismans to harass Zhou Chun.

While he was tied up by Zhou Chun, the other early Foundation Establishment Cultivator was not a match for the Silver Lightning Python Baibai and the Golden Armor Rock Turtle; he couldn't last ten moves before a bolt of silver-white lightning struck him, killing him instantly!

After swiftly dispatching the opponent, the two Spirit Pets hurried over to help their master.

Seeing that things were going badly, the middle Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Dragon Transformation Sect quickly turned and plunged toward a small river beneath the mountain.

When the Black Dragon sub-temple was established, in order to enhance the power of the Guardian Great Formation and for the ease of the Dark Flood Dragon to frolic in the water, underground water veins were drawn out, interlinking and creating dozens of waterways inside the mountain gate.

These waterways flow from under each Spirit Peak, finally converging into the Black Dragon Lake deep inside the mountain gate.

For the Cultivators of the Black Dragon Hall, these waterways are excellent locations to practice their Water Escape Technique during normal times.

So now, facing defeat against Zhou Chun and his Spirit Pets, that Cultivator from the Dragon Transformation Sect attempted to escape using the waterways.

However, he seemed to have forgotten the restraint that lightning Spells have over the Water Escape Technique!

The moment he entered the water, a silver-white lightning ball fell into it and exploded with a boom.

Lightning flashes erupted on the darkened surface of the water, and the Cultivator from the Dragon Transformation Sect who had just escaped into the water, now smoking from his head, leaped out in a flash.

Before he could steady his stance, the golden Sun Glare Wheel sliced across, effortlessly cutting through his black Dragon Scale and bisecting him at the waist.

"Why go through all this trouble? If you hadn't run, perhaps you could have held on for a few more moves!"

In the sky, Zhou Chun watched the corpse split into two and fall into the water, shaking his head as he put away his Magic Artifact, and also used his Mana to retrieve the Storage Pouch from the corpse's body.

But the fight was not over yet, and he had no time to examine the contents of the Storage Pouch. He immediately took his Spirit Pets to aid Zhou Daoquan.

Yet before he could join the battle, the other two Cultivators from the Dragon Transformation Sect, who had just witnessed the tragic fate of their comrade, turned without looking back and fled.

Zhou Daoquan and the two Spirit Pets desperately tried to detain them but only managed to keep the middle Foundation Establishment Cultivator, while the late Foundation Establishment Cultivator got away.

But the caught Cultivator was also rather resolute; seeing no chance for escape and not wanting to die just yet, he immediately raised his hands and shouted loudly, "Don't kill me, I surrender!"

Hmm?

Hearing this, both Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoquan were momentarily taken aback.

This was the first time they had encountered a Cultivator from the Dragon Transformation Sect who surrendered on his own.

Previously, when they had been taking down strongholds, those captured Cultivators from the Dragon Transformation Sect were directly apprehended by Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators; there was never a chance for them to surrender voluntarily.

"What should we do, spare his life?"

Zhou Daoquan frowned slightly, leaving the decision to Zhou Chun.

Zhou Chun, after looking over the Cultivator from the Dragon Transformation Sect who was shouting for surrender for a while, said in a deep voice, "Give me a reason not to kill you!"

The implication was simple, that the Cultivator from the Dragon Transformation Sect needed to show his value.

Hearing this, a strong desire to survive spurred the Cultivator to think quickly.

Then, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly shouted, "Thousand-year-old Spiritual Medicine, I know where some thousand-year-old Spiritual Medicine can be found nearby!"
