Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

Hearing his words, Zhou Chun was at a loss for words.

He couldn't help but wave his hand and say, "Elder, you must be joking. Not to mention that we simply don't have the time for such delicate work right now, even if we could do it, our Zhou Family doesn't possess any Spirit Wood suitable for nurturing Millennium Water Jade Ganoderma like the Water Mulberry Tree!"

"Indeed! Ah, this is how it is when you get old, always prone to unrealistic fantasies!"

Zhou Chongshan nodded his head, then shook it, his expression desolate as he moved aside, giving Zhou Chun the chance to pick the Millennium Water Jade Ganoderma.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun didn't stand on ceremony. He immediately used his finger as a sword, a burst of golden light erupting from the tip of his finger, and cut the roots of the Water Spirit Ganoderma's Water Mulberry Tree both in front and at the back, then collected the section of root in the middle into a large jade box as well.

After this task was accomplished, Zhou Chun and Zhou Chongshan began to pick other Spiritual Medicines planted nearby and even threw some jade boxes to the surrendered cultivator from the Dragon Transformation Sect to join in the harvest.

The cultivator had already had all his Magic Artifacts confiscated, and with the Silver Lightning Python Baibai constantly watching him, Zhou Chun wasn't worried about him pulling any tricks.

With the three of them working together, in less than half an hour, they had cleared the mountain of all kinds of Spiritual Medicines and quickly returned to the peak where the Spirit Medicine Garden was located.

By the time the three of them returned to the peak of the Medicine Garden, the various aged Spiritual Medicines inside had been almost completely harvested, and the number of their jade boxes was nearly exhausted as well.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun made a decisive order, "Forget it, let's leave the rest, our harvest today is already more than enough!"

Including the Millennium Water Jade Ganoderma, their haul for the day was probably worth sixty or seventy thousand Spirit Coins, if not more.

Such a bountiful harvest was entirely worth the risk they had taken today.

Now, what they needed to do was to secure this bounty and bring it back to the clan safely!

Fortunately, the Zhou Family cultivators knew the bigger picture.

Hearing Zhou Chun's words, although they felt it was a pity, they still acted on his command.

Once everyone had gathered, Zhou Chun then said to the surrendered cultivator from the Dragon Transformation Sect, "Zhou keeps his word. Seeing as you have helped Zhou obtain the Water Spirit Ganoderma, your life is spared. Now scram!"

Upon hearing his words, the man's face immediately brightened with joy, and he quickly gave thanks with a bow, "Thank you, senior, thank you. I'll leave now, I'll leave right away!"

After speaking, he quickly flew toward the small river down the mountain, seemingly preparing to also escape through the water.

Seeing this, Zhou Chongshan's brow slightly furrowed, as if he wanted to say something.

But at that moment, Zhou Chun waved his hand and said, "Let's go too, we'll meet up with the Supreme Elder first!"

Then he took the lead and rushed towards the gap they had come through.

Seeing this, the other Zhou Family cultivators could only follow closely behind.

By a stroke of luck, midway Zhou Chun and his group encountered a team of cultivators from the Dragon Transformation Sect, including the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator who had previously escaped. It seemed they had specifically come to confront them.

As soon as the two groups met, the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator pointed at them and shouted, "It's them, the Spiritual Medicines from Xiaoyun Peak have all been taken by them!"

Hearing these words, the other seven cultivators from the Dragon Transformation Sect with him acted without hesitation.

This time it was seven against five, with two Foundation Establishment cultivators among the Dragon Transformation Sect.

Facing such a lineup, the five from the Zhou Family had no advantage whatsoever.

"Run, don't get entangled with them, let's retreat while fighting and try to join up with the main force!"

After exchanging a few moves, Zhou Chun saw that his side was unable to gain any advantage and immediately transmitted his voice for everyone to retreat while fighting without getting entangled with the enemy.

But the cultivators from the Dragon Transformation Sect weren't fools; they quickly discerned their intentions from their actions.

"Stop them, we cannot let them escape!"

A Foundation Establishment stage cultivator from the Dragon Transformation Sect shouted loudly, waving his hand and throwing a second-tier, high-grade Talisman at Zhou Daoquan, who was fighting him.

Though the Dragon Transformation Sect was located in a remote area, it wasn't poor.

The possessions of these Foundation Establishment cultivators weren't inferior to those of the disciples from the three major factions of Jingguo Country, with Magic Artifacts and Talismans all up to standard.

```

At this moment, to stop the five Zhou Family members, they didn't hold back on using Talismans, throwing out all sorts of second-grade Talismans in one go.

Under such a monetary assault, the Zhou Family members, although they weren't stingy in countering with Talismans, were still entangled and found it difficult to break free.

Zhou Chun saw this and gritted his teeth slightly, promptly seizing the opportunity to spit out his diligently practiced "Flowing Light Golden Rainbow" towards a Foundation Establishment initial-stage Cultivator who was not far away and clashing with Zhou Jiarui.

The golden rainbow tore through the sky, piercing instantly like a streak of golden lightning through the protective cloud aura of the initial-stage Cultivator, blowing his head to pieces in mid-air.

This sudden turn of events shocked the other Cultivators from the Dragon Transformation Sect, who hastened to slow down their offensive and focus on their own defenses, fearing Zhou Chun might deliver another blow to them.

Taking advantage of this, Zhou Jiarui quickly moved to help Zhou Jiapeng in dealing with another Foundation Establishment initial-stage Cultivator from the Dragon Transformation Sect.

Just when Zhou Chun thought his strike had secured an advantage in the battle, an unexpected change occurred on Zhou Chongshan's side.

Ever since Zhou Chongshan had broken through to the later stage of Foundation Establishment, he rarely sparred with cultivators of the same level and had been mostly focusing on studying the Array Dao within the family, resulting in not so high combat skills.

The Dragon Transformation Sect Cultivator he was facing, however, often ventured outside to fight Demon Beasts and had previously engaged with many Cultivators of the same level from Jingguo Country in the war of invasion, making his combat skills very high.

Moreover, aside from the Secret of Dragon Transformation, he had cultivated several other powerful secret techniques.

Unfortunately, Zhou Chongshan did not have a Spirit Pet to assist him like Zhou Daoquan did.

At this moment, seeing that Zhou Chun was gaining an advantage on his side, he relaxed a bit psychologically.

His opponent, on the other hand, acutely perceived this slight lapse and immediately unleashed a potent attack secret technique combined with a Magic Artifact, breaking through his double-layer defense and leaving a terrifying wound on his body.

"Second Elder!"

"Second Elder, I'll help you!"

Right then, seeing Zhou Chongshan severely wounded, the Zhou Family members, while shocked and distressed, hastily extended their help to rescue this elder.

"Do not panic! I'm not dead yet!"

Zhou Chongshan, pale-faced, urgently circulated his Mana to seal off the main blood vessels around the wound to slow down the bleeding, all while shouting for everyone to stay calm and not give the enemy a chance because of trying to save him.

But how could Zhou Chun just stand by and watch!

Zhou Chun lifted a hand and slapped his storage bag, and a shining third-grade Talisman appeared in his hand.

This was precisely a low-grade third-tier attack Talisman that Taoist Mingxia of Green Lotus Temple had awarded to the Zhou Family on behalf of the Sect.

Zhou Chun had originally kept this Talisman as an ace up his sleeve, preferring to use the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique "Flowing Light Golden Rainbow" rather than this item.

But now, seeing Zhou Chongshan in danger, he couldn't care for much else.

He infused Mana into the Talisman in his hand, which then automatically floated above his head, quickly turning into a clump of blue spiritual light.

With a thought from Zhou Chun, the clump of blue spiritual light transformed into a blue light spear and shot towards the Cultivator from the Dragon Transformation Sect who had injured Zhou Chongshan.

Seeing this, the Cultivator's face changed dramatically in terror, and he roared angrily, pushing the Secret of Dragon Transformation to its limit. Black Dragon Scales on his body emitted a brilliant dark glow while he also activated a second-grade top-quality defensive shield in front of him.

But the power of a third-grade spell was immense.

The spear, slicing through the air, easily shattered his shield Magic Artifact, then penetrated the protective cloud aura around his body and struck him fiercely!

In an instant, the advanced Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Dragon Transformation Sect was blasted dozens of yards away, with a large bloody hole in his chest.

However, the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique was indeed formidable; even after such a severe injury, his life force didn't dissipate, and he still had the strength to turn around and flee.

But could he really escape?

A flash of yellow light, and a dull yellow stone club heavily struck the fleeing Cultivator from the Dragon Transformation Sect on the head, bursting it open like a smashed watermelon.

It turned out to be Zhou Chongshan taking the opportunity to deliver the coup de grâce, avenging himself.
