Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

On the Nameless Isle.

After Lu Ran spoke with a voice full of tempting allure, spelling out various enticing propositions,

Zhou Chun's expression changed dramatically, and indeed, his heart was moved.

He couldn't help but be swayed.

Each word uttered by Lu Ran scratched precisely where Zhou Chun itched.

Whether it was about the secrets of the Sect Leader and Vice Sect Hierarch's birth within the Dragon Transformation Sect or the terms of cooperation between the Dragon Transformation Sect and the Flood Dragon Clan.

Or the Spiritual Objects he claimed could assist in opening the Purple Mansion and achieving Foundation Establishment.

All of these were things Zhou Chun very much wanted to know and acquire.

Just by knowing the former, he would be able to conclude his undercover mission early and return to report back to Green Lotus Temple.

The latter could skyrocket the Zhou Family's strength and greatly elevate their power!

But his heart was racing with excitement; he also knew there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Lu Ran was not a generous philanthropist; why would he easily disclose such information to him?

There must be certain conditions!

Yet even so, Zhou Chun was still hooked.

After his heartbeat quickened for a moment, he looked at Lu Ran with eyes full of anticipation and asked, "Senior, I wish to know everything you've mentioned, but may I ask how you would be willing to share this with me?"

Hearing his question, a flash of amusement crossed Lu Ran's eyes as if he was quite pleased with the inquiry. Explore new worlds at empire

Yet he didn't immediately satisfy Zhou Chun's thirst for knowledge.

Instead, he suddenly looked at Zhou Chun and asked, "Do you know what kind of hidden dangers I faced after possessing the body of a Scale Frog Alien Clan member?"

Without waiting for Zhou Chun to answer, he began to answer his own question.

"Although I successfully possessed the Scale Frog Alien Clan member, it was only afterward that I discovered the influence of the alien bloodline on my body. Even though my heart still considers itself human, it's inevitably affected by the body's bloodline!"

"The Scale Frog Alien Clan has an instinctual craving for raw meat and insects, and even my powerful Divine Soul cannot constantly control the body's natural cravings, forcing me to consume what I find utterly repulsive!"

"If it were only that, it would still be bearable. After all, once accustomed, does it matter what one eats?"

"However, as I began to cultivate using this new body, and my Cultivation Level grew deeper, I discovered that my Divine Soul also began to twist and change."

"Whether it's because I devoured the soul of that Scale Frog Alien Clan Magician during possession or simply because the body naturally influences the Divine Soul, my Divine Soul has indeed been affected."

"Sometimes, I would suddenly become clouded in my awareness, like those mad demons completely eroded by the Evil Qi, utterly unable to control myself, as if I truly became a Scale Frog Alien Clan member!"

"There have been several occasions when my sudden uncontrollable outbursts almost cost me my life!"

Having said this, Lu Ran then looked at Zhou Chun, who seemed deep in thought, and stated, "So, the first condition I have is that I would like to request your assistance in contacting the Temple Master of Green Lotus Temple to find a feasible solution for me, one that at the very least prevents me from perishing due to these uncontrollable episodes."

Zhou Chun, after hearing his words, also showed a slight surprise and immediately understood what he meant by "while I still have control over myself."

He quickly looked at Lu Ran and said, "Your condition, Senior, does not seem difficult to arrange."

"However, talk is cheap. Without evidence, how could Master Qingwei believe me? She might even suspect that I have been turned by the Dragon Transformation Sect!"

In essence, what he meant was that Lu Ran needed to render some benefits first.

Without tangible benefits, he couldn't settle his account with Master Qingwei.

With the four protectors of the Golden Dragon Hall dead at Lu Ran's hands, and Guo Chen and Envoy Wu also dead, while he was taken by Lu Ran away from the scene,

Zhou Chun would be utterly unable to explain his survival if he returned to the Golden Dragon Hall, nor explain his disappearance.

Given the magnitude of the situation, neither the Great Protector Guan Cheng nor the Hall Master Li Tianxing would likely let him off easily.

They might even decide to abandon him, opting to use Soul-searching techniques on him to extract useful information instead.

So in truth, Zhou Chun had no way out anymore!

Lu Ran was aware of this too.

So after hearing Zhou Chun's words, he quickly replied, "I naturally wouldn't expect you to undertake such a task for nothing."

"Doesn't Temple Master Qingwei want to know the extent of the cooperation between the Dragon Transformation Sect and the Flood Dragon Clan? This is something I can disclose some insights about, so you can fulfill your duties!"

"The collaboration between the Dragon Transformation Sect and the Flood Dragon Clan is exceedingly deep; one might even consider the Dragon Transformation Sect to have become a vassal to the Flood Dragon Clan!"

"Not only have they established a Spirit Cleansing Array within the Dragon Abyss Marsh on behalf of the Flood Dragon Clan, arranging trusted Envoys and Sect Members to maintain the Array's operations, but they are also raising fifth-stage Flood Dragons for the Flood Dragon Clan!"

"To my knowledge, in just over eight hundred years, the Dragon Transformation Sect has cultivated at least five fifth-stage Flood Dragons for the Flood Dragon Clan!"

"So, unless one possesses the strength to wage war against the Flood Dragon Clan, it is best not to entertain the thought of destroying the main sanctuary of the Dragon Transformation Sect because the Flood Dragon Clan will definitely not forsake it!"

Having said that, Lu Ran looked at Zhou Chun with a smile and continued, "This is just a portion of the insider information. I am also aware of how the Dragon Transformation Sect assists the Flood Dragon Clan in cultivating fifth-stage Flood Dragons, and I know many secrets beyond your imagination. These were all confided to me by my mentor just before he decided to perish alongside the Red Fire Flood Dragon, I assure you they are nothing but the truth!"

Hearing his words, Zhou Chun was indeed shocked.
