Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Chun raised his hand to interrupt him, "Enough, you needn't swear."

Then, Zhou Chun turned around, his gaze deep as he spoke, "In fact, it's quite normal for you to harbor some resentment. After all, the merits you have achieved for the Zhou Family over the years surpass many of our kin, yet you have always been constrained to this Wasteland Territory, unable to truly enjoy the treatment and freedom you deserve!"

At this point, Zhou Chun's tone suddenly changed, his voice stern as he said, "However, Xu Fu, remember this: if today you possess such cultivation level, it is not only because of your own outstanding talents and diligent practice but also because you have benefited from our Zhou Family's glory and care."

"Don't even mention the fact that I once helped you resolve the Evil Qi in your body, if you, as a Loose Cultivator, had wandered alone with no fixed abode, how could you achieve such a level of cultivation in less than a hundred years!"

These words, coming from Zhou Chun, naturally carried a compelling power that demanded attention.

It was an aura of authority and deadly seriousness that had been cultivated from years of occupying high positions and engaging in life-and-death battles.

Even Xu Fu, who had also experienced countless life-and-death situations, felt a chill in his heart upon encountering this intimidating presence, struck with both fear and awe.

He quickly lowered his head and responded in a low voice, "Yes, I have remembered, subordinate will duly heed the Clan Leader's admonishment and never dare forget our roots!"

Facing Zhou Chun, Xu Fu felt a deep, sincere reverence.

Since he was a young boy of eleven or twelve, he had personally witnessed Zhou Chun's awe-inspiring might, and over the years observed his cultivation grow by leaps and bounds, displaying various incredible abilities.

In his heart, Xu Fu might not have regarded Zhou Zhengyong, Zhou Xinlan, and other Zhou Family descendants with much concern, considering them merely more fortunate than himself for being born into the Zhou Family, yet actually not as capable as him.

But towards Zhou Chun, all he held was profound respect.

"Rise up, I didn't call you here today just to give you a warning, but also to fulfill the promise I made to you, to take you back to the Jingguo Country Cultivation Realm!"

Saying this, Zhou Chun personally extended his hand to help Xu Fu up from the ground.

This left Xu Fu both shocked and delighted, hastily bowing his thanks with an air of flattered modesty, "Subordinate is filled with trepidation, I deeply thank the Clan Leader for his generous favor!"

Zhou Chun then lightly patted him on the shoulder and said, "Concerning the affairs here, explain them to Liu Heng first. Once I return from handling my matters, I will take you back to Lanzhou."

"Yes, I understand," Xu Fu replied, nodding emphatically, his voice brimming with an unprecedented cheerfulness.

Zhou Chun gave a faint smile and then left the Jade Mining Mountain Base.

Half a day later, Zhou Chun appeared inside the ice cave.

Eh!

Upon entering the ice cave, Zhou Chun couldn't help but let out a surprised exclamation.

Because upon arriving, he discovered that the Skyfrost Cold Bee Queen had laid eggs again.

This time, the Bee King had laid eighteen eggs, all frozen within the Millennium Cold Jade without hatching.

This was in accordance with the instructions he had given to the Bee King: after laying eggs, none were to be hatched immediately but must wait for his approval before hatching.

He had set this dictate, naturally, to facilitate contracting these extraordinary insects.

Looking at those eggs, he clapped his hands with satisfaction, exclaiming, "Excellent, it seems that propagating these ancient mystical insects is not as hard as described in the classics. Just a few decades have passed, and they've laid eggs again?"

Although the number of eggs laid this time was somewhat fewer.

Immediately, Zhou Chun first returned the "Skyfrost Cold Bees" from his Spirit Beast Pouch to their nest for rest, then he contracted all the eggs there and then.

With this done, the number of "Skyfrost Cold Bees" had reached two hundred and twelve, with the count of mature Demon Bees also reaching twenty!

Next, Zhou Chun used the same method to select ten mature "Skyfrost Cold Bees" to store in his Spirit Beast Pouch, fed the Bee King some Essence Energy-replenishing ice attribute Elixirs, and then left the ice cave.

Speaking of which, these "Skyfrost Cold Bees" were definitely the most worry-free Spirit Pets he had. They never required his attention and could provide assistance at crucial moments.

Two days later, Zhou Chun, accompanied by Xu Fu, returned to the Zhou Family Mountain Gate at Jiufeng Ridge, where he officially announced Xu Fu's appointment as an Honorary Elder of the family.

To the public, Xu Fu was declared to have joined the Zhou Family after Zhou Chun saved his life, just as with Zhang Liang, another Loose Cultivator from a Foreign Country.

After temporarily settling Xu Fu in Jiufeng Ridge, Zhou Chun then proceeded to Tuyun Ridge to check on the upgrade progress of the Nine Palaces Yellow Dragon Formation.

It was there at Tuyun Ridge that Zhou Chun found out that Master You of the You Family, after acquiring the Yellow Dragon Stone, had gone into seclusion to craft Array Plates on Tuyun Ridge and would need more time to be successful.

Therefore, Zhou Chun could only make a trip to his own cave dwelling.

Inside the cave dwelling, Stone had used the Earth Escape Technique to burrow underground, submerging itself under Tuyun Ridge to absorb the Earth Vein's Spiritual Energy for its cultivation.

It would be one of Zhou Chun's trump cards. With it regulating and organizing the Earth Veins here, the actual power of the Nine Palaces Yellow Dragon Formation in the future would undoubtedly be stronger than what Master You had suggested.

Meanwhile, Wood Charm was continuing to plant trees.

Over a decade later, the sprouts of the Myriad Year Purple Mulberry Wood's roots had indeed successfully grown into a second-tier Spirit Wood.

It was rumored that last year the tree bore fruit, which Zhou Mingde took to reward some of the outstanding younger generation within the clan, and the reception was extremely positive.

The fruits of the Purple Mulberry were not only delicious but also greatly beneficial for Qi Refinement Realm cultivators, serving as an excellent support for breakthroughs.

After visiting the two Spirit Pets, Zhou Chun conferred with Zhou Mingde, who was in charge there, and then took Stone with him, and headed alone to Fengguo.

He was going to the front lines to deliver life-saving items to Zhou Daoquan and others, and if possible, he also wanted to witness the methods of the Demon Path Cultivators, to get a better idea of what he might be up against.
