Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

Zhou Daoyi successfully broke through to the late Foundation Establishment stage, and there was no need to conceal this news.

Soon, all cultivators of the Zhou Family were aware of this piece of good news.

All members of the Zhou Family also felt genuinely happy about this achievement.

But if you were to ask who was the happiest, it would undoubtedly be Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoquan.

For Zhou Chun, Zhou Daoyi’s breakthrough to the late Foundation Establishment stage meant he could rest assured and switch to cultivating the Golden Cauldron Profound Technique.

As for Zhou Daoquan, after Zhou Daoyi’s breakthrough, he could also leave the family with peace of mind to travel far in search of the opportunity to open his Purple Mansion.

Therefore, not long after Zhou Daoyi came out of seclusion, Zhou Chun asked him to resume managing family affairs, while he himself prepared to go out and look for materials to refine Golden Spirit Qi Balming Powder.

The use of the Golden Spirit Qi Balming Powder elixir was too uncommon, and it was unrealistic to hope to buy or exchange for it.

But without this item, the Golden Cauldron’s foundation-casting phase of the Golden Cauldron Profound Art would become very difficult.

Hence, Zhou Chun had to get his hands on it no matter what.

Now, through various channels, he had already gathered all the other auxiliary medicines for it, only lacking two key main ingredients before he could ask someone to start the alchemy process.

"The Cultivation World is full of dangers at every turn, and although your Silver Lightning Python has advanced to the second tier, you still have to be careful and cautious when you go out alone. Please, remember the lesson from the last time you traded for elixirs!"

Before Zhou Chun left the house, Zhou Daoyi earnestly advised him to be extra cautious.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator, though already having the basic ability to travel alone in the Cultivation World, isn’t completely without danger.

Especially for a cultivator like Zhou Chun, who ventures out alone in search of materials, he is more likely to be targeted because of this reason.

And, should he fall into an ambush alone in a foreign land, the family wouldn’t even be able to avenge him or know who was responsible for it.

Therefore, Zhou Daoyi could only remind him to be careful, not to casually flash his wealth or reveal his trump cards.

"I will definitely keep the Clan Leader’s advice in mind," Zhou Chun responded earnestly with a nod before setting off alone from the family.

The destination of his journey was the Sichuan Province of Jingguo Country, thousands of miles away, which was the territory of the great Sunflame Sect of Jingguo Country.

The two main ingredients needed for refining the Golden Spirit Qi Balming Powder appeared more frequently there.

Upon leaving Jiufeng Ridge, he immediately propelled himself into the sky with controlled Qi and headed towards Sichuan.

This was also the suggestion given by Zhou Daoyi, to refrain from revealing on the way that he owned a second-tier Flying Artifact or the existence of the second-tier Silver Lightning Python.

In this way, those malicious and powerful bandit cultivators wouldn’t pay him any attention, whereas the weaker ones who dared to attack him would instead be killed in retaliation.

However, flying by controlling Qi not only resulted in average speed but also consumed a great deal of Mana.

Ordinary Foundation Establishment initial-stage cultivators, in order to retain sufficient Mana for self-defense, wouldn’t fly more than a thousand miles before finding a place to recover their Mana.

But this was not a problem for Zhou Chun at all.

He didn’t need to go out of his way to find places to recover his Mana along the journey and flew straight through.

When his Mana was heavily depleted, he would simply find a forest to hide in restoring his strength through meditation.

In this way, by not entering marketplaces or cultivator settlements, he also avoided the trouble of being targeted.

Thus, he arrived in Sichuan within just over three days.

Sichuan was located in the central-western part of Jingguo Country, adjacent to Yanzhou, where the gates of Sunflame Sect were situated.

Sichuan was abundant in mountainous terrain and rich in mineral veins, providing a better environment for cultivation than Lanzhou and overall more prosperity.

However, the situation in Sichuan was also quite complex. Although Sunflame Sect was the nominal ruler, in reality, because of the abundant mineral resources in Sichuan, Moon Wheel Sect and Green Lotus Temple also had their hands in the pie, supporting some forces.

In the past, a reshuffle among the minor forces would occur every few years. Apart from a handful of families with profound foundations, not many local cultivating families could endure here for long.

Especially when new mineral veins were discovered, large battles often broke out over their control. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Zhou Chun was aware of the complex situation here before he came, so after arriving in Sichuan, he did not use the name of the Zhou Family.

This time, however, he didn’t assume the identity of a loose cultivator but instead impersonated a junior from a cultivating family in Yunzhou that had relocated due to the invasion of the Dragon Transformation Sect.

After all, a lone Foundation Establishment cultivator of his age was, if not unique, extremely rare, and such an identity would be too conspicuous.

Becoming a family cultivator, although also rare, would seem much more normal.

With thousands of miles separating Sichuan from Yunzhou, unless he happened to encounter someone familiar with Yunzhou’s situation, the deception was unlikely to be exposed.

After inquiring around in Sichuan, he easily entered the largest marketplace in Sichuan, the Goldspring Marketplace.

Compared to the Hongya Marketplace and Dongling Marketplace that Zhou Chun had been to before, Goldspring Marketplace was much larger, with more shops and a larger flow of cultivator traffic.

Moreover, Zhou Chun noticed something else, that there were quite a few Foundation Establishment cultivators coming and going.

When he was in Hongya Marketplace, it was hard to see a single Foundation Establishment cultivator on the streets.

Yet, after walking around in the Goldspring Marketplace, he encountered three Foundation Establishment cultivators passing by.

Clearly, the ability to attract so many Foundation Establishment cultivators indicated that the shops in Goldspring Marketplace had what they needed.
