Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

After all, he still had two "Yellow Crystal Pills" and seven "Origin Increase Pills" on hand, so he wasn't currently in need of elixirs to consume.

So Zhou Chun returned to his cultivation room and swallowed a Green Bodhi Fruit.

He had previously been stuck at a barrier in his cultivation level and had been worried about wasting the fruit's potency by consuming it, so he had refrained.

Now that his cultivation level had broken through, he no longer had that concern and naturally wanted to make use of the fruit's effects as soon as possible.

The Green Bodhi Fruit, highly spoken of by Luo Qingni, did not disappoint either.

After consuming and refining one, Zhou Chun noticed not only his recently enhanced Divine Sense growing by nearly ten percent, but his Mana cultivation level had also increased significantly, equivalent to a year of arduous cultivation.

The key was that the increase in Mana from the fruit was very balanced and harmonious, unlike the turbulent and empty enhancements from elixirs, nearly indistinguishable from the Mana cultivated through meditation.

After discovering this advantage, he immediately consumed another one.

However, the effect was substantially less the second time.

His Divine Sense only increased by about one-thirtieth, while the increase in Mana cultivation level was similar to before, still approximately a year's worth.

This discouraged Zhou Chun from consuming a third fruit.

He decided to save the remaining two for the elders, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi, as an expression of his filial piety.

Subsequently, Zhou Chun slapped his Storage Pouch at his waist and this time he took out an "Amethyst Bamboo Rice".

He had thirty-three sticks of "Amethyst Bamboo Rice," more precious than thirty-three millennial Spiritual Medicines.

Yet he dared not easily trade with others, due to the high value and risk of exposing his possession of stolen goods.

However, keeping such valuable items in the Storage Pouch seemed a waste.

Therefore, Zhou Chun now decided to taste the "Amethyst Bamboo Rice" himself, to see what benefits consuming it could bring.

If the benefits were substantial, he planned to indulge himself and consume all the "Amethyst Bamboo Rice".

High-end food ingredients often require no cooking skills; they are best enjoyed raw!

Zhou Chun took all the "Amethyst Bamboo Rice" from a Seven-Leaf Purple Bamboo Grass and stuffed it into his mouth to chew.

The crystal-like "Amethyst Bamboo Rice" was actually very hard, and for a Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator to chew it raw would be no easy task.

But Zhou Chun, whether it was the main cultivation technique, Golden Cauldron Profound Art, or the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique, had greatly fortified his body.

His physical strength was now no less than some Golden Core Stage Cultivators.

Thus he was able to chew the "Amethyst Bamboo Rice".

And these Spiritual Objects, which were usually only enjoyed by Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, indeed did not disappoint in flavor.

After the hard bamboo rice was chewed, it had an amazing reaction with the saliva in his mouth. A hint of sweet fragrance quickly spread and filled his brain.

And the swallowed bamboo rice quickly broke down into pure Spiritual Power, spreading throughout his body.

Zhou Chun closed his eyes and savored the taste, then slowly started to refine the Spiritual Power within his body.

After an unknowable amount of time, Zhou Chun finally refined all the Spiritual Power released from the "Amethyst Bamboo Rice".

Now, he carefully assessed his condition and discovered that the increase to his cultivation level from one stock of "Amethyst Bamboo Rice" wasn't much.

It was probably equivalent to three months of hard cultivation, nowhere near the benefit he got from the Green Bodhi Fruit.

However, in addition to enhancing his cultivation, the "Amethyst Bamboo Rice" had an effect of tempering the body.

Zhou Chun could clearly feel that his physique had strengthened a little, and if he continued to consume it, his body would unquestionably become greatly potentiated.

As for the rumored longevity benefits, he didn't feel much, probably because he only consumed one stick, making the effect not obvious.

All in all, consuming the "Amethyst Bamboo Rice" seemed somewhat wasteful for him; it would be more practical to exchange it for millennium Spiritual Medicines.

Therefore, Zhou Chun didn't continue eating the remaining thirty-two sticks of "Amethyst Bamboo Rice". Instead, he carefully stored them in a Jade Box, planning to find an opportunity to trade them later.

This type of Spiritual Object was inherently durable and could be preserved for a hundred years without losing potency.

And after a hundred years, the matter of the Ancient Ruins would no longer be as frequently mentioned as now; by then, Zhou Chun might have successfully formed his Core and had the strength to trade such items.

Half a year later, Zhou Chun, who had been deeply absorbed in secluded cultivation, suddenly stirred. With a flick of his hands, he summoned a blaze that landed before him.

After reading the content of the Communication Talisman, his face immediately brightened with joy, and he hurriedly left his cave dwelling.

In a short time, Zhou Chun arrived at an inn within the Immortal City, where he met Lin Hongyu, who had come from afar.

"Junior Zhou Chun pays his respects to Elder Lin."

In the room, upon seeing Lin Hongyu, Zhou Chun hurriedly performed a formal greeting.

"There's no need for such formalities, Zhengchun. We are not within the family here; such extensive etiquette is unnecessary."

Lin Hongyu waved her hand to indicate he should be at ease.

Then, without waiting for Zhou Chun to inquire, she took the initiative to explain her purpose.

"I've come to the Great Zhou Kingdom this time to seek Spiritual Objects to aid my daughter Wanyue in opening her Purple Mansion. I also came to visit you and bring you a few letters from home."

With that, she nodded towards Zhou Chun with satisfaction and said, "Not bad at all, Zhengchun. You've advanced to the Middle Stage Purple Mansion so quickly. Daoyi and the others will definitely be pleased when they hear of this."

Upon hearing her words, Zhou Chun did not show any sign of pride; instead, he asked with concern, "It's been over a decade since I left home; is everything well with the family?"

Hearing this, Lin Hongyu smiled and said, "Rest assured, the Zhou Family has been doing well these past years. The details are all written in the letters from home which Taoist Friend Zhou and Daoyi have sent; you'll understand once you read them."

Having said that, she handed over the letters the Zhou Family elders had written to Zhou Chun.

While Zhou Chun was very eager to know the contents, he did not open them immediately.

For now, he placed the letters into his Storage Pouch. Then he addressed Lin Hongyu, "I have been in Tianyuan Immortal City for over a decade and have some understanding of the city. Can I be of assistance to Elder Lin here?"

"There's no need; I have reliable information about where to find the Spiritual Objects to help open the Purple Mansion, so you don't need to worry."

Lin Hongyu shook her head, declining his offer.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun did not press further. He then slapped his Storage Pouch and took out twenty-five Foundation Establishment Pills.

"Then, when you return to the family, could you please deliver these Foundation Establishment Pills to my granduncles?"
