Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming Chapter 315 - 182: Successfully Joined the Sect, Golden Drag

At this ti, Zhou Chun took out the several thousand "Dragon Coins" that had been stored in the Zhou Family all along, as well as the original volus of various classics, the "Flying Dragon Snatch" that had been used in rituals, and a Heavenly Spirit Order.

Watching the ancient artifacts that Zhou Chun had taken out, Protecor Peng wasted no ti in stepping forward and grabbed the skeleton to inspect it.

After examining the skeleton, he took out the classics and flipped through them one by one.

Finally, he looked at Zhou Chun and said, "Taoist Friend Zhou, do you dare to accompany this protector to et with the Vice Hall Master of our hall and face his inquiry?"

"The junior dares, of course!"

Zhou Chun responded without any hesitation.

Seeing this, Protector Peng imdiately praised him, "Good, keep these items with you for now. I will take you to see the Vice Hall Master right away."

"The junior obeys,"

Zhou Chun replied and quickly put away the items before following Protector Peng out of the grand hall, heading towards the peak of the mountain.

The Azure Dragon Hall had one Hall Master, one Vice Hall Master, and three Elders.

However, the Hall Master usually didn’t handle affairs; it was mainly the Vice Hall Master who managed the big and small matters of both the Azure Dragon Sub-Temple and the Azure Dragon Hall.

At this ti, being led by Protector Peng up the mountain, Zhou Chun quickly arrived outside a grand hall called the "Azure Dragon Hall."

Then Protector Peng asked him to wait outside while he went in to report to the Vice Hall Master first.

Not long after, he ca out and gestured to Zhou Chun, "Vice Hall Master Deng is aware of the matter now. Taoist Friend Zhou, co with to et the esteed elder."

Following him into the "Azure Dragon Hall" ahead, Zhou Chun soon saw Deng Hai, the Vice Hall Master of the Azure Dragon Hall of the Dragon Transformation Sect.

This Vice Hall Master Deng already seed quite old, with a lot of white hair, but his complexion was rosy, and his spirit did not show any less vigor than a young man.

"Junior Zhou Yuanyang, greets Senior Deng."

As when he had t Protector Peng before, Zhou Chun perford the appropriate salutations as soon as he saw the person.

"Hmm, your aura is robust and profound, your foundations firm and secure, truly a talent worthy of cultivation!"

Vice Hall Master Deng gave a slight nod, already discerning from a glance the exceptional nature of Zhou Chun’s cultivation technique.

Then he stared at Zhou Chun and said, "Protector Peng has relayed to what you previously told him. If what you say is true, then your connection with our sect is indeed not shallow. Our sect must thank you for returning the remains and relics of our ancestor."

"But as you likely know, our sect and the various factions in Jingguo Country have unresolved grievances, and they ceaselessly seek our sect’s destruction, employing every conceivable ans to that end!"

"Therefore, if you truly wish to stay in our sect and be taken seriously, you must pass a truth verification test by !"

No sooner had he finished speaking, than a powerful aura of Divine Sense pressure enveloped Zhou Chun.

Under this mighty Divine Sense pressure, Zhou Chun felt as though he was carrying a heavy burden, the sensation extrely uncomfortable.

He did not resist the Divine Sense pressure, instead he allowed it to push him to his knees on the ground, from where he respectfully responded, "This junior understands and is willing to undergo the elder’s test."

"Very well!"

Vice Hall Master Deng nodded slightly, his eyes blazing with light as he looked at Zhou Chun and said, "Raise your head and look directly at ."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun imdiately raised his head for the eye contact.

He then felt his consciousness begin to blur.

But soon the secret technique of the Heart Lotus Scripture he had cultivated began to operate on its own, helping him resist the foreign assault on his Divine Soul.

Regaining a bit of clarity, Zhou Chun controlled the strength of the secret technique to maintain a half-conscious state, and began to slowly answer Vice Hall Master Deng’s questions.

This Vice Hall Master Deng was indeed very cautious, as he influenced Zhou Chun’s mind while asking various questions. He also quietly took Zhou Chun’s Storage Pouch and Spirit Beast Pouch from his waist to examine the contents.

Then he returned them to Zhou Chun’s possession in such a manner that no one could detect any change.

Since he did not wholly trust this kind of secret technique, he changed thods several tis to further interrogate Zhou Chun.

However, facing Zhou Chun’s mix of true and false answers, he did not achieve any significant results.

In the end, it was Zhou Chun who deliberately revealed the strength of his Divine Soul, actively breaking free from the control of the secret technique.

"Your Divine Soul is much stronger than that of an average Foundation Establishnt cultivator. Why is that?" asked Vice Hall Master Deng, his expression a mix of surprise and suspicion.

Zhou Chun was well-prepared for this question and imdiately replied respectfully, "Senior sees clearly, before establishing my foundation, I had the good fortune to find a Seven-Leaf Soul Core Grass in a Profound Yin Land. Since such an item was too precious, I dared not sell it and decided to consu it myself!"

The "Seven-Leaf Soul Core Grass" he spoke of was also a kind of Spirit Grass that could strengthen the souls of cultivators upon consumption. This grass would grow a leaf every hundred years; seven leaves indicated a seven-hundred-year-old plant, and its effects were significantly stronger than the Soul Heart Fruit.

After hearing his words, Vice Hall Master Deng was startled.

He then asked with a frown, "The Seven-Leaf Soul Core Grass can indeed strengthen a cultivator’s Divine Soul, but such a plant would certainly be guarded by extraordinary entities. With your re Qi Refinent Realm strength at the ti, how were you able to obtain it?"

Zhou Chun had anticipated this question and imdiately responded respectfully, "Senior is insightful—indeed, at that ti the Seven-Leaf Soul Core Grass was guarded by a second-order ghost creature."
