Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

First came the Spirit Coins.

The man in black had a large number of Spirit Coins in his storage pouch, totaling over six hundred and fifty, which was the most Zhou Chun had ever harvested at one time.

Then there were the magic artifacts.

It was only now that Zhou Chun discovered that the man in black's storage pouch actually contained eight magic artifacts, three of which were high-grade, first-tier magic artifacts, and five were mid-grade, first-tier magic artifacts.

But these magic artifacts had not been refined by the man in black!

He guessed that these magic artifacts must have been possessions of the Dragon Transformation Sect, stored with the man in black for the purpose of recruiting followers and rewarding the Sect Members below.

Next came the elixirs.

The man in black's storage pouch also contained a significant number of elixirs, which were categorized according to their uses. Zhou Chun could recognize only a few of them.

This would have to wait until he returned to the family, where he could ask the Clan Leader Zhou Daoyi and other elders of his family for advice, to fully understand the purposes of these elixirs.

As for talismans, there were not many in the man in black's storage pouch, leaving Zhou Chun unsure whether they had been used up or if he had simply not carried many in the first place.

At the same time, Zhou Chun also found some formation flags and array plates in the storage pouch, meant for setting up formations, but their specific functionalities and uses were still a mystery to him.

In addition, after browsing through other classics contained in the storage pouch, Zhou Chun did not find the highly sought-after Secret of Dragon Transformation cultivation method, nor did he find any other secret techniques for cultivation.

This left him quite disappointed.

Fortunately, when one door closes, another opens.

Although he did not acquire the secret techniques for cultivation he was interested in, inside the man in black's storage pouch, Zhou Chun found a large piece of Dragon Blood Stone and two stalks of Dragon Blood Grass among the raw materials and spiritual objects.

These Dragon Blood Spirit Items seemed to be auxiliary materials needed for the cultivation of the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique.

Besides the Dragon Blood Spirit Items, the man in black's storage pouch also contained several other types of spiritual object materials, including a valuable piece of "Water Essence Mysterious Jade," which was a material for crafting second-tier magic artifacts.

After such an inventory check, Zhou Chun roughly estimated that even after excluding the Dragon Blood Spirit Items for his own use and disregarding the elixirs and formations whose uses were unclear,

The value of the Spirit Coins, magic artifacts, and materials in the man in black's storage pouch had already exceeded two thousand Spirit Coins!

This haul was nothing short of substantial.

Zhou Chun, who was no stranger to substantial wealth, still couldn't help but smile broadly when he preliminarily estimated his gains.

It was worth it!

The profit fully justified the risks he had taken previously.

"No wonder they say that murder and arson bring a golden belt; honesty and sincerity never pay as quickly as killing and looting!"

Even Zhou Chun, who normally despised those bandit cultivators who committed murder for treasure, couldn't help but be shaken and issued such a lament.

The bandit cultivators really did acquire wealth too quickly compared to those honest cultivators who earn Spirit Coins through legitimate means!

A single successful plunder could equal the earnings that an ordinary cultivator would accumulate over several years, or even over a decade.

How many cultivators could resist such an easy and profitable venture once they had tasted its sweetness?

Of course, Zhou Chun was merely expressing a passing sentiment.

His principles and conscience would never allow him to truly become a bandit cultivator.

If it weren't for the repeated attacks by the Dragon Transformation Sect against him, and if the sect hadn't been an evil cult officially targeted for suppression, he would not have troubled the man in black this time.

So after his reflections, Zhou Chun packed away the various items into his storage pouch and set off to return to his family.

Now that he had the Dragon Blood Spirit Items in hand, all he wanted was to return to his family as soon as possible and consult with Supreme Elder Zhou Daoquan on how to maximize the use of these spiritual objects to cultivate the Silver Lightning Python.

After travelling nonstop for two days, Zhou Chun finally returned to Jiufeng Ridge, which he had not seen for over half a year.

At this time, the Clan Leader Zhou Daoyi still had not returned, and even his fourth brother Zhou Zhengyu was still on his way.

Upon Zhou Chun's return, he was immediately pulled aside by several elders who began to inquire about the situation.

He was prepared for this, and immediately recounted what happened at Flying Horse Mountain.

However, he did not mention his speculation about the whereabouts of the Clan Leader Zhou Daoyi or his act of killing the Foundation Establishment envoys from the Dragon Transformation Sect across levels.

After hearing Zhou Chun's account, the elders of the Zhou Family marveled at the battle at Flying Horse Mountain that was a chain of events within another, lamenting that they had not been there to witness such an exciting scene.

And regarding the reemergence of the Dragon Transformation Sect in the Cultivation World, the Zhou Family's elders were equally concerned and quickly reported the matter to the Supreme Elder, Zhou Mingde.

Having finished recounting the events at Flying Horse Mountain, Zhou Chun had yet to ask Elder Zhou Daoquan about the usage of the Dragon Blood Spirit Items when he was summoned by Zhou Chongshan, the second elder acting as the temporary Clan Leader, to handle family affairs.

This second elder, who usually secluded himself in his cave dwelling to study the Array Dao, actually had little experience in dealing with family affairs and was only managing with the help of some other experienced "family" generation cultivators over the past few days.

Now that Zhou Chun, an experienced Clan Leader, was back, he was actually quite relieved.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun simply took out the formation he had obtained from the man in black and handed it to the second elder for his study, then focused on helping him cope with various affairs.

This way, both were busy with their respective tasks and managed harmoniously.

Just as Zhou Chun returned to Jiufeng Ridge, the Clan Leader of the Zhou Family, Zhou Daoyi, encountered trouble.

On that day, after pursuing the Green Flood Dragon, Zhou Daoyi, with the sensitive response of his Spirit Pet, the Sky Azure Cloud Python, to the Green Flood Dragon's breath, had not lost track of his target.

During that time, he also witnessed from a distance the second and third battles between three cultivators from the Green Lotus Temple and the Green Flood Dragon.

After two battles, the Green Flood Dragon's injuries had become even more grievous, to the point that even its inner core was damaged.

And the three cultivators from the Green Lotus Temple also sustained injuries in the Green Flood Dragon's desperate counterattacks, with one of them even forced to abandon the pursuit halfway.

But just when the remaining two Green Lotus Temple cultivators caught up with the Green Flood Dragon for the third time, ready to finish it off, the female cultivator from the Dragon Transformation Sect appeared again!

At this point, the female cultivator from the Dragon Transformation Sect had not yet recovered from her injuries, but together with the Green Flood Dragon, they still managed to defeat and drive away the two Green Lotus Temple cultivators.

Zhou Daoyi thought he had completely lost his chance when he saw this scene.

What he did not expect, however, was that after driving away the two Green Lotus Temple cultivators, the Green Flood Dragon and the Dragon Transformation Sect female cultivator soon fell into dispute and conflict, with the female cultivator becoming so enraged that she directly struck the Green Flood Dragon with her blade. Stay ahead with m v l em pyr

The Green Flood Dragon probably never anticipated that the Dragon Transformation Sect female cultivator who had saved it twice would turn against it so readily!

By the time it reacted, it had already been struck by the female cultivator's blade at one of its wounds, bisecting it on the spot!

However, the immense life force of the Flood Dragon's body meant that it was still not dead even after being severed into two.

Before finally dying, it spat out its inner core, landing a heavy blow on the female cultivator, leaving her severely injured and on the brink of death.

As Zhou Daoyi observed this scene from a distance, he was also stunned.

He had never expected the turn of events to be so dramatic.

Then, an endless joy flooded his heart, exciting him to the point of losing control. He rushed ecstatically towards the scene.

When he arrived at the scene, he found that the female cultivator from the Dragon Transformation Sect had already passed out, and the Green Flood Dragon was dead.

While overjoyed, he carefully stored the Green Flood Dragon's inner pill in a jade box, then used a technique to extract the lingering soul of the Green Flood Dragon from its body and sealed it into a jade bottle.

After completing these two most important tasks, Zhou Daoyi walked towards the unconscious Dragon Transformation Sect female cultivator, intending to check her injuries.

If there was no hope of saving her, he would naturally finish her off with one more blow.

If there was a chance to save her, he would certainly save her, keeping her alive to later offer her to the Green Lotus Temple for a reward.

A living Red Dragon Protector of the Dragon Transformation Sect was definitely a generous gift for the Green Lotus Temple, which urgently needed information about the Dragon Transformation Sect.

But what Zhou Daoyi did not expect at all was that as he approached the female cultivator from the Dragon Transformation Sect, and bent down to open her Storage Pouch, she suddenly opened her eyes and spewed a pink mist at him.

Caught off guard, he was struck in the face by the pink mist, and his consciousness blurred.

By the time he regained his senses, he found himself lying on the ground, completely unclothed.

Not far away, the Dragon Transformation Sect female cultivator, who had awakened before him, was also fully exposed, confronting his Spirit Pet, the Sky Azure Cloud Python.

The injuries on her body seemingly had healed significantly.
