Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

Therefore, when someone at the higher echelons of the family achieved a major breakthrough, they all genuinely felt happy for it.

People's hearts are with us!

This was Zhou Chun's observation.

He had no doubt that, should he call upon the clan members to donate Spirit Coins for some significant family matter, there would definitely be many who would respond and support the cause.

This is indeed the portrait of a thriving and developing family.

As long as everyone can benefit from the family's development, they will naturally support the family and its leadership wholeheartedly.

Even if there are some instances of unjust treatment in everyday life, or difficulties caused by unscrupulous clan members, it would not truly affect this support.

As a leader, seeing such a united family, Zhou Chun also felt a great sense of accomplishment and pride in his heart.

After all, for the Zhou Family to be as prosperous as it is now and for the clan members to be so united, the greatest credit goes to him!

"How can one not love such a family!"

Zhou Chun sighed lightly, retracted his Divine Sense, and looked at the items in front of him.

What laid before him was a collection of tea leaves, which he had picked from a Fourth Order Spirit Tea Tree on the Secret Realm Island.

The Spiritual Tea in the Cultivation World is quite different from ordinary tea leaves; some require special techniques and additional ingredients to process before they can exhibit their maximum spiritual effects.

Meanwhile, some tea leaves cannot be processed at all, and only by directly steeping them in water or even chewing them raw, can they release their full spiritual potency.

Even the quality of the water used to brew the tea can affect the effectiveness of the Spiritual Tea.

Zhou Chun had already tried chewing the leaves raw and steeping them in water. Although they could slightly enhance one's Divine Sense, the effect was not good for someone at his Golden Core Stage cultivation level.

He could feel that these methods did not bring out the maximum spiritual effect of the Spiritual Tea.

Therefore, he began to explore other methods of processing to see if he could discover the most appropriate way to maximize the effects of the Spiritual Tea.

Attempting such methods consumed some of the Spiritual Tea, but it wouldn't go to waste entirely, as even the less effective tea could still be offered to a few Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators of the Zhou Family to help increase their Divine Sense a bit.

After trying over a hundred different methods and consuming half a catty (approximately 300 grams) of tea leaves, Zhou Chun finally found a satisfactory way to brew the tea.

First, he would fry the tea leaves three times and air them out three times to make dry tea. Then, he would cook it with morning dew until the leaves turned mushy; drinking this concoction, leaves, and all, could greatly enhance one's Divine Sense.

Zhou Chun was not sure whether this method could unleash the ultimate effects of the Spiritual Tea, but this was the best method he had found through his trials thus far.

Thus, he processed most of the Spiritual Tea into dry tea and distributed some to several Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators of the Zhou Family. He gave more to Lin Hongyu, Zhou Mingde, and Zhou Daoyi, and kept about five taels for himself.

He planned to serve one tael to the Golden Core Stage Cultivator guests at the upcoming grand ceremony and would slowly enjoy the rest himself.

Time flew by, and soon there were only three days left before Zhou Chun's Golden Core grand ceremony.

By that time, many guests who had traveled from afar had already settled in Tuyun Ridge or found accommodations in the nearby Marketplace and amongst other Cultivator Families.

Inside the Zhou Family's gate on Tuyun Ridge, everything was festooned with colorful lanterns, ribbons, and various items signifying celebration—it was a sight to behold everywhere.

On the actual day of the Golden Core grand ceremony, the gate to Tuyun Ridge would be wide open. Any Cultivator who came to offer their congratulations could enter to enjoy a cup of Spiritual Wine for free. Those with cultivation levels above the Late Qi Refinement Stage would only need to gift a casual Spirit Coin to stay and partake in the banquet.

Therefore, this Golden Core grand ceremony was expected to attract a tremendous number of Cultivators.

To prevent any unexpected incidents, Zhou Mingde also gathered more than twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Zhou Family. With a serious expression, he spoke sternly to them: "The importance of this Golden Core grand ceremony needs no further emphasis from me. During these few days, all of you must patrol non-stop within a hundred-mile radius day and night. On the day of the grand ceremony, nothing must be allowed to interfere with the proceedings!"

"Yes, we understand, elder!"

Zhou Xinlan and the other Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Zhou Family answered in a resolute manner with loud voices.

Consequently, for the next few days, Zhou Family's patrol teams were tirelessly rotating, continuously patrolling a hundred-mile radius around Tuyun Ridge day and night, forbidding any Cultivator from engaging in combat within this area.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed swiftly.

On this morning, as dawn broke, a melodious and brisk bell chime began to sound from atop Tuyun Ridge, ringing twenty-four times in a row!
