Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming Chapter 2236 - 786: The Zhou Family’s Fourth Flood Dragon

Kunwu Mountain.

Feeling the passing of Su Yunniang’s sitting and transforming, Zhou Chun decided not to enter seclusion until the family’s two most important elders had also completed their transformations.

He currently had no pressing threats that he needed to improve his cultivation level to solve, so there was no need to rush and leave himself with future regrets.

Unhurried in cultivation, Zhou Chun spent more of his free ti with family and elders and even took ti to guide the younger mbers of the Zhou Family.

Many tis, after his daily ditation and cultivation, he would go to Zhou Mingde’s place to drink tea, reminisce about the past with the two elders, discussing the various events the Zhou Family had experienced over the centuries, and even talked about Zhou Family cultivators who had long since transford or fallen.

This activity, which had previously seed like a waste of ti, now carried a unique flavor, bringing mixed feelings of nostalgia and reflection.

That day, Zhou Chun received good news from Zhou Xinyan, who was handling the Zhou Family’s affairs in place of Zhou Daoyi.

The three secret techniques for breeding mutant demon beasts, obtained in exchange for the "Grand Universe Spirit Transformation Art," have all been verified as effective now.

The secret techniques for breeding the three mutant demon beasts included the Mutant Thunder Crane, Mutant Gold-Eyed Mouse, and Mutant Horned Timber Wolf.

Among them, the Mutant Gold-Eyed Mouse and Mutant Horned Timber Wolf had already been proven feasible, as there was no shortage of test subjects.

However, the Mutant Thunder Crane, due to the scarcity of the Thunder Crane species itself, didn’t have enough subjects for conclusive verification.

Just a decade ago, the Zhou Family located a group of rare Thunder Cranes and captured them all to the Kunwu Mountain Range.

After years of cultivation, the leader of the crane group finally mutated into a Lightning Crane and broke through to the Third Rank.

This Third Rank Lightning Crane looked exceptionally majestic. While ordinary Thunder Cranes’ feathers were silver-gray, its feathers were a silver-white, emitting a silver glow under the sunlight, resembling a luminous Immortal Crane.

The most comndable ability of the Lightning Crane was its flight speed.

At full speed, this newly promoted Third Rank lower-grade demon beast Lightning Crane outpaced even the flight speed of a typical late-stage Purple Mansion Phase cultivator!

Moreover, it could fly in the wind layer of the Azure Sky Nine Heavens, unaffected by the fierce winds.

After seeing this bird, Zhou Chun imdiately had Yishan Monarch bring his son Zhou Xinyuan back ho to the family.

Sure enough, even Zhou Xinyuan, who was deeply engrossed in the Sword Control Technique, showed evident admiration upon seeing this Lightning Crane.

Thus, Zhou Chun made the decision to gift the Lightning Crane to him as his third spirit pet.

Considering Zhou Xinyuan was at the Foundation Establishnt Middle Stage, contracting a Third Rank demon beast was typically impossible for him.

However, the Lightning Crane owed its Third Rank promotion to the Zhou Family’s assistance and harbored gratitude towards them. Additionally, Zhou Chun specially invited the Fengyuan Monarch. Under the deterrence of the Fire Phoenix Demon King, known as the "King of Ten Thousand Birds," the Lightning Crane dared not refuse!

Personally witnessing Zhou Xinyuan signing the soul pact with the Lightning Crane, Zhou Chun felt relieved.

As for the Zhou Family cultivators who successfully bred the Lightning Crane, they were naturally rewarded separately.

This Lightning Crane itself belonged to the family, and the spirit material ingredients used for its breeding were provided by the family.

Now that the feasibility of the three mutant demon beasts’ secret techniques has been verified, the Zhou Family can encourage talented and resourceful clan mbers to cultivate these three types of demon beasts in the future.

The Mutant Gold-Eyed Mouse, in particular, had innate abilities for treasure-hunting and identifying spiritual objects, which could greatly benefit both individual cultivators and the family if cultivated in sufficient numbers.

With ti on his hands, Zhou Chun also took the opportunity to understand the situation of the family’s younger generation.

Now, with the Zhou Family being large and prosperous, the number of talented youngsters in the family was not insignificant.

According to what Zhou Chun understood, below the Golden Core Stage cultivation level among the Zhou Family cultivators, there were seven with High-Grade Spirit Root Talent. Among them, five, including Zhou Xinyuan, were direct Zhou Family cultivators, with one male and one female from the maternal family.

Presently, the Zhou Family had twenty-six core clan mbers at the Purple Mansion Phase and one hundred thirty-four elite clan mbers at the Foundation Establishnt Stage.

Approximately every thirty years, the Zhou Family would issue one or two exchange certifications for Nascent Soul Spirit Material.

Unfortunately, since Zhou Cunxin successfully ford his core, the subsequent three Zhou Family cultivators attempting the Golden Core Stage all failed in their Core Formation.

However, as long as the Zhou Family maintained a stable supply of Nascent Soul Spirit Material, Golden Core Stage cultivators would continuously erge.

Given the Zhou Family’s current territory and resources, there was no need to worry about the number of Golden Core Stage cultivators exceeding the family’s capacity for at least the next millennium.

Always attentive to the family’s inheritance of skills in alchemy, artifact crafting, talisman making, and formation, Zhou Chun paid special attention to the talent situation in these areas.

Unfortunately, according to what he knew, although the Zhou Family currently had clan mbers at the master level in alchemy, artifact crafting, talisman making, and formation, these were primarily attained through the accumulation of large amounts of materials, lacking standout talents with extraordinary potential to reach the Grandmaster Realm.

Fortunately, Luo Qingni’s presence in alchemy ans there’s no need to worry for the next millennium; weapons could be supplented by purchases from the Heaven Fire Sect; formations, unless at the Forbidden Formation level, could generally be managed by a master’s expertise; and for talisman making, master-level standards suffice to et the vast majority of family cultivators’ needs.
