Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming Chapter 263 - 159: Rat Extermination Master Baibai, Everythi

```

However, it never anticipated that the Demon Snake invading its nest this ti was not a first-order Demon Beast, but a second-order one!

When the silhouette of the Silver Lightning Python appeared inside the rat nest, the Rat King’s body shook violently, and its eyes instantly showed extre terror. It turned to run away.

But it saw the Silver Lightning Python, BaiBai, and BaiBai naturally saw it too.

As for the Rat King that Zhou Chun had specifically instructed to capture alive, BaiBai would not let it escape.

Imdiately, a bolt of lightning spat out from its mouth, striking the Rat King.

To prevent killing the Rat King with one blow, the python deliberately weakened the power of the lightning, roughly by about ninety percent.

Even so, the Rat King that was struck by lightning instantly stood on end, with blue smoke rising from its fur as it collapsed to the ground.

At this, the other Gold-Eating Rats instantly went into a frenzy.

Seeing that not even the Rat King could withstand a single blow, they no longer had the courage to attack the Silver Lightning Python that emitted a second-order aura; they scattered in all directions, trying to flee.

But how could the Silver Lightning Python, BaiBai, let these delicious morsels escape? It fired lightning repeatedly, instantly electrocuting a large number of Gold-Eating Rats.

Before long, the scent of roasted at filled the rat nest.

Yet, the Silver Lightning Python, BaiBai, looked at the roasted rats on the ground but wasn’t in a hurry to eat. Instead, it first checked on the Rat King’s condition.

Upon finding that the Rat King was rely unconscious, it then confidently slithered towards the nest of the rat pups, starting to feast on them.

After gobbling down dozens of rat pups in one go, it looked at its slightly bulging belly and then continued to eat the dead rats.

When it was about sixty percent full, it stopped eating, picked up the Rat King in its mouth, and made its way back the way it ca.

Not long after, Zhou Chun, who was waiting on the mountain, saw it erge from the rat hole with the Rat King in its mouth.

"Nicely done!"

Seeing the Rat King dropped by BaiBai on the ground, Zhou Chun’s face instantly bead with happiness.

Then, without hurrying to kill the Rat King, he took it directly to the minefield.

"Taoist Friend Hu, as you can see, this Rat King has been captured by . Can you consider the mission to destroy the rat nest completed?"

Outside the minefield, Zhou Chun placed the unconscious Rat King before the guarding cultivator and addressed the matter of the rat nest destruction mission.

He had learned from BaiBai that there were dozens of Gold-Eating Rat corpses inside the nest.

One could say that aside from the Gold-Eating Rats that had gone out foraging, he had destroyed most of the nest.

Moreover, without the leadership of the Rat King, the remaining Gold-Eating Rats could only wait to regroup until a new Rat King was born.

At this mont, seeing the Rat King thrown out by Zhou Chun, the Hu-surnad Foundation Establishnt cultivator was also taken aback.

After a careful examination, he said in surprise, "It really is the Rat King!"

Then, with shining eyes, he looked at Zhou Chun and said, "Taoist Friend Jiang, what a skillful move!"

"Could you share how you did it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun smiled faintly and said, "I apologize, but this matter involves my own secrets, and I’m not at liberty to disclose them to Taoist Friend Hu."

After finishing, he confidently added, "I can assure you that most of the Gold-Eating Rats have been eliminated, and their bodies are still inside the rat nest. Taoist Friend Hu can arrange for people to go and excavate the mountain for proof at any ti!"

The Hu-surnad cultivator, heeding his words, chose not to inquire further, only responding solemnly, "There’s no need to excavate the mountain to verify. We have people at the mine who ta Demon Beasts that can enter the rat nest for confirmation. Since Taoist Friend Jiang is so confident, I will take so people along with you for a visit."

"That would be even better."

Zhou Chun agreed and then led the Hu-surnad cultivator and a Qi Refinent Realm cultivator toward the stone mountain.

Then, outside the mouse hole that the Silver Lightning Python had entered, the Qi Refinent Realm cultivator brought by the Hu-surnad cultivator released a Fla Rat Demon Beast into it.

At first, because the cave still harbored the scent of the Silver Lightning Python, the Demon Beast, a Fla Rat, refused to enter, no matter what.

Eventually, at the urging of its master, it trembled its way inside. Explore hidden tales at empire

Not long after, the Fla Rat Demon Beast crawled out of the rat hole, chirping excitedly, telling its owner about what it had seen in the cave.

Once he learned that the nest was indeed filled with the corpses of Gold-Eating Rats, the cultivator surnad Hu instantly believed Zhou Chun’s words.

After pondering with a flickering gaze, he looked at Zhou Chun and said, "Taoist Friend Jiang, I can confirm you have completed the task of destroying the rat nest, but you’ll need to leave the Rat King’s corpse with to report back to the clan. Moreover, due to the difficulty of extracting the Gold-Eating Rat corpses from the cave, I can only award you three hundred Spirit Coins as the basic reward."

"That works. Please wait just a mont," Zhou Chun replied.

Zhou Chun nodded, imdiately went to the side with the unconscious Rat King, and disemboweled it on the spot to extract a rat gallbladder the size of a thumb.

He then processed the fresh rat gall and stored it in a jade box, handing over the Rat King’s corpse to the cultivator surnad Hu.

Seeing this, the cultivator surnad Hu was forthright. He imdiately took out Spirit Coins from his Storage Pouch and handed them to Zhou Chun, saying, "Here are three hundred Spirit Coins, Taoist Friend Jiang, please take them."

"Taoist Friend Hu is straightforward. Then I shall take my leave," Zhou Chun said.

Zhou Chun pocketed the Spirit Coins, clasped his hands toward the cultivator surnad Hu, and prepared to leave.

Just then, the cultivator surnad Hu suddenly said, "Taoist Friend Jiang, might you leave a way to contact you? Perhaps there may co a ti when I need to seek your help again."

Hearing his words, Zhou Chun imdiately understood his intent.

After a brief mont of thought, he smiled and said, "Then Taoist Friend Hu can send soone to the Spirit Beast Restaurant in Hongya Marketplace in Lanzhou. The shopkeeper there will naturally forward any letters to ."

"Spirit Beast Restaurant in Hongya Marketplace?"

The cultivator surnad Hu looked thoughtfully at the Spirit Beast Pouch on Zhou Chun’s waist and then nodded, "Okay, I’ll rember that."

"Then, until we et again by fate."

"Until we et again by fate."

After exchanging courtesies, Zhou Chun then flew off under the watchful gaze of the cultivator surnad Hu, leaving the rocky mountain.

Only after Zhou Chun had disappeared into the distance did the cultivator surnad Hu wave his hand grandly and said, "We should also be going. When we get back, we’ll have people co and dig through the mountain to uncover the cave. We cannot allow the Gold-Eating Rat corpses and the stolen Spirit Gold ores they collected to go to waste."

With no need to worry about startling the Gold-Eating Rats and causing them to relocate, creating a tunnel a hundred yards deep was actually not too difficult for a cultivator.

anwhile, Zhou Chun returned straight to the clan after leaving the rocky mountain.

He couldn’t possibly go and trade for the Golden Leaf Bamboo Root on his own, for that might truly result in not making it out of Cangzhou alive.

Thus, he planned to ask Elder Zhou Daoquan, when he returned, to bring the Fire Divine Jackal of the Supre Elder with him. If anyone dared to attack them just for a five-hundred-year-old Golden Leaf Bamboo Grass, they would not be blad for retaliating fiercely.

Half a month later, Zhou Chun, accompanied by Elder Zhou Daoquan, returned to Cangzhou and successfully exchanged a five-hundred-year-old Spirit Ginseng for the Golden Leaf Bamboo Grass with a Purple Mansion Family from Cangzhou.

Compared to the scarcely used Golden Leaf Bamboo Root, the more broadly utilized five-hundred-year Spirit Ginseng was undoubtedly more valuable.

And the five-hundred-year Spirit Ginseng that Zhou Chun used for this exchange ca from the Wang Family of Hongyao Valley, for which he traded the remaining one tael and four qian of Fragrant Musk Deer Spirit Spice he had.

In this transaction, the Wang Family also profited considerably from him.

So, in the end, both families that dealt with Zhou Chun did not suffer a loss. Only he himself paid dearly for the necessary item.

Perhaps it was the deterrence effect of Zhou Daoquan’s near-Foundation Establishnt cultivation level, after the exchange, Zhou Chun and his party traveled smoothly without encountering any attacks.

With the two main ingredients needed to concoct the Golden Spirit Qi Balming Powder in hand, Zhou Chun soon asked Clan Leader Zhou Daoyi to take the Alchemy Recipe to the Li Family of alchemists and have an Alchemy Master there personally craft the elixir.

Since the Zhou Family provided the recipe, the Alchemy Master of the Li Family readily accepted the task and did not charge a fee.

Less than half a month later, Zhou Chun received the successfully concocted Golden Spirit Qi Balming Powder.

With this, all the preparations required for Zhou Chun to switch to cultivating the "Golden Cauldron Profound Technique" were complete. He only awaited for the Clan Leader Zhou Daoyi’s Spirit Pet, the Sky Azure Cloud Python, to successfully Transform into a Flood Dragon, after which he could go into seclusion to begin cultivating this top-tier Profound Technique.
