Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming Chapter 1731 - 649: Two Out of Three, Secluded Cultivation A

Green Lotus Peak.

After returning to the family, Zhou Zhiying quietly settled into Zhou Chun’s abode.

Zhou Chun, having been alerted by her, began to pay close attention with Zhou Mingde to Xu Fu and his wife’s Core Formation process, ready to intervene and break the forbidden technique to save them at any sign of unexpected circumstances.

The secluded chambers for the Zhou Family cultivators undergoing Core Formation were fully equipped with individual protective forbidden techniques, ensuring even an attack on the Mountain Protection Array wouldn’t affect them.

This set of forbidden techniques was only forcibly accessible by Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun within the Zhou Family.

Thus, on the third day after Zhou Zhiying returned to Green Lotus Peak, a sudden abnormal fluctuation of spiritual power erged in Zhou Yuanyuan’s secluded chamber, yet the Nascent Soul Heavenly Phenonon was nowhere to be seen.

Seeing this scenario, Zhou Chun consulted with Zhou Zhiying and promptly decided to forcibly break the protective forbidden technique, opening the chamber doors from the outside.

As the doors opened, they saw Zhou Yuanyuan lying on the ground, coughing up blood, her breath faint and her consciousness nearly fading.

"Mother!!"

After all, she was her biological mother, her closest blood relative. Zhou Zhiying, despite not having an exceedingly deep bond with her mother before, couldn’t help but rush forward with tears in her eyes seeing her in peril.

It seed that this heartfelt cry awakened a deep-seated resolve within Zhou Yuanyuan, whose fading consciousness showed signs of revival as her eyelids slightly flickered.

Noticing this, Zhou Chun quickly released Mu Sang to assist in treating Zhou Yuanyuan.

Given Zhou Yuanyuan’s current state, saving her was indeed impossible.

However, granting her a brief return to consciousness was still feasible.

Under Mu Sang’s treatnt, a portion of her rapidly lost life energy was imdiately checked, and her consciousness soon returned to clarity.

Upon opening her eyes, she saw her daughter who was holding her tightly, already reduced to tears.

Seeing the daughter she had been most proud of in her life dispelled much of the despair from the Core Formation failure, leading her to gently stroke her daughter’s face and softly say, "Ying’er, you’ve returned. To have you by my side as I pass is already a solace to !"

"It’s my failure as a daughter. If I had known you were going to attempt Core Formation, I would have returned sooner!"

Zhou Zhiying cried in self-reproach, her eyes full of regret.

"Silly child, it’s not your fault. The bla lies in my lack of skill and opportunity, ultimately falling short of the Clan Leader’s trust and expectations!"

Zhou Yuanyuan spoke while casting an apologetic glance at Zhou Chun who stood aside.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun lightly sighed, "Ah! Xiao Yuan, there’s no need for such thoughts. Things have co to this point; you two should have a good talk. I won’t disturb you anymore!"

He then shook his head slightly and turned to leave the chamber.

Thus, waiting outside for about an hour, with Zhou Zhiying’s heart-wrenching cry heard from inside, Zhou Chun and the arriving Zhou Mingde exchanged a glance and couldn’t help but shake their heads repeatedly.

Zhou Yuanyuan’s failure ant she paid with her life and the Zhou Family lost a potential Core Formation seed and a Purple Mansion Phase elder.

To the family, this was undoubtedly a considerable loss.

Regrettably, due to Xu Fu still being in seclusion for Core Formation, it was inappropriate to disturb him concerning this matter. He couldn’t even witness his partner for the last ti.

However, at Zhou Zhiying’s earnest request, both Zhou Chun and Zhou Mingde agreed to her plea, temporarily refraining from conducting a funeral for Zhou Yuanyuan, choosing instead to preserve her body in ice, waiting for Xu Fu to erge from seclusion to host the funeral.

If Xu Fu successfully ford his Core!

And so, they waited for more than three years.

Three years later, on a certain day, a sudden tidal surge of spiritual energy appeared at Zhou Xinyan’s place of seclusion, swiftly heralding the Nascent Soul Heavenly Phenonon.

This scene imdiately brought great joy and excitent to many Zhou Family cultivators.

Adding a Golden Core Stage cultivator to the family was indeed a worthy cause for celebration, especially since Zhou Xinyan, regarded as the elder managing the family’s affairs, had garnered widespread respect.

"Not bad, not bad, Xinyan is indeed promising, and he has certainly set a good precedent!"

Zhou Chun, observing the dark clouds gathering in the sky, felt a sense of relief and couldn’t help but nod and smile.

Though Zhou Yuanlian had previously successfully ford her Core, her sowhat sensitive status ant she could only be an invisible presence in the family, incapable of taking a leading role openly.

Yet, Zhou Xinyan was different.

Being the first Zhou Family offspring with Superior Spiritual Root Aptitude born after the family had entrenched its foundation at Jiufeng Ridge, he was truly a pure-blood Zhou Family child, widely favored within the family.

Moreover, over the past century, he had adeptly managed family affairs in place of Zhou Chun, organizing everything in an orderly manner, showcasing comndable managent skills.

In doing so, his successful Core Formation could serve as the best example for the Zhou Family, potentially serving as the face of the family.

"Just at the right mont, I’ll be preoccupied with transforming elixir and forming infant and wholly unable to attend to family affairs. Once Xinyan erges from seclusion, I’ll talk to him about the clan leader handover."

Zhou Chun pondered silently, having new ideas and plans.

Soon after, as the Nascent Soul Heavenly Phenonon faded, the news of Zhou Xinyan’s successful Core Formation swiftly spread.
