Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming Chapter 333 - 187: Golden Winged Tiger, Purple Pattern Golde
Moreover, at this ti, the Golden Winged Tiger could already be weaned, and in the future, it would only need to be fed raw at, which also saved Zhou Chun a lot of trouble.
However, the good tis didn’t last long. Zhou Chun had just settled down to cultivate for less than three months when Guan Cheng assigned him a new task.
"The Purple Pattern Golden Peaches on the tree outside the Branch Temple Gate are about to ripen. To prevent the Demon Beast guarding the Spirit Peaches from eating them once they reach maturity, we need two Envoys to take turns guarding them. Envoy Zhou, you and Envoy Yang shall take on this duty together!"
Inside the Golden Dragon Hall, Guan Cheng assessed the two summoned Envoys, Zhou Chun and Yang Chi, and spoke solemnly of the task at hand.
"This subordinate obeys."
Zhou Chun and Envoy Yang responded in unison and imdiately left the hall to undertake their mission.
They took the map provided by Guan Cheng, exited the Branch Temple Gate, and after traveling over seven hundred li through the wilderness, they arrived at the location marked on the map.
It was a rift canyon, the bottom of which was thirty to forty zhang from the surface, with sparse vegetation and red-brown rocks and soil everywhere.
The Purple Pattern Golden Peach Tree ntioned by Guan Cheng was situated on a cliff in the middle of the canyon.
The tree was less than two zhang tall, with purple-red bark, and hung with seven large, golden-yellow Spirit Peaches at the ti.
After gazing at the Spirit Peaches for a while, Zhou Chun and his companion looked down at the canyon floor beneath the tree.
There, a Rust-Spotted Poisonous Python, perfectly camouflaged against the red-brown gravel, was covertly nested among the rocks, secretly guarding the Spirit Peach Tree on the cliff above.
"A second-grade lower-tier Demon Beast, Rust-Spotted Poisonous Python, it doesn’t have the power to guard those seven Spirit Peaches. No wonder the Protector Lord has asked us to co and take turns keeping watch," Yang Chi said calmly as he withdrew his gaze from the snake.
"Since there’s a Rust-Spotted Poisonous Python guarding the Spirit Peach Tree, we can ease up a bit. When the Spirit Peaches are really about to ripen, it will be ti to clear it out," Zhou Chun remarked.
"Good idea, that’s what I was thinking too," Yang Chi nodded in agreent without hesitation.
Therefore, the two of them agreed to switch every three days, each person taking their turn to guard the Spirit Peach Tree.
Zhou Chun didn’t know what Yang Chi would do, but he certainly didn’t intend to stick around and guard the place diligently.
Although these three days were not enough to allow him to contact the outside world, they were sufficient for him to explore the surrounding area of the Golden Dragon Branch Altar and incidentally gather Spiritual dicine resources from the wilderness.
The area around the Golden Dragon Branch Altar was rich with various Spiritual dicines in the wild.
Those Spiritual dicines with one or two hundred years of dicinal age were not everywhere, but with careful searching, they were not hard to find. Continue reading on empire
Perhaps the average Dragon Transformation Sect Missionary Envoy wouldn’t care for these common Spiritual dicines available everywhere.
But Zhou Chun was different.
He might not need it for himself, but the Zhou Family certainly could make use of it!
By collecting these items and finding an opportunity to hand them over to the Zhou Family, he was making a contribution as well.
He didn’t just overlook resources like Spiritual dicines; occasionally, when he found monster beasts laying eggs, Zhou Chun would take all the Demon Beast Eggs as well, which were also of great use to the Zhou Family.
All of it was money!
In this way, taking advantage of his ti outside while guarding the Purple Pattern Golden Peach tree, in just five short months, Zhou Chun had gathered over two hundred stalks of Spiritual dicine, collected more than twenty low-grade Demon Beast Eggs, and even obtained many ordinary Spirit Fruits suitable for brewing.
These items filled up more than half of his Storage Pouch, making him feel like a hardworking little squirrel.
On this day, just as he returned to the vicinity of the rift canyon, preparing to switch places with Yang Chi, Zhou Chun suddenly discovered that the Rust-Spotted Poisonous Python, which had always been hidden on the canyon floor, had sohow climbed up the Purple Pattern Golden Peach Tree.
Although the na contained "Python," the Rust-Spotted Poisonous Python was actually not that large.
It was just over one zhang in length, roughly as thick as Zhou Chun’s arm, which made it a relatively large snake.
But this snake contained a deadly poison; its breath of toxic cloud could kill a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishnt Stage.
During the five months Zhou Chun had been watching over this place, he had seen it easily kill first-grade Demon Beasts that ca to steal fruit with its toxic arrows and clouds on multiple occasions.
"Are the Purple Pattern Golden Peaches about to ripen?"
Watching the Rust-Spotted Poisonous Python coiling around the tree, Zhou Chun had an inkling as to why it had suddenly climbed from the canyon’s ground to the treetop.
So when Yang Chi hurried over to take over his shift, Zhou Chun quickly shared his suspicions.
After listening to his words and looking at the Rust-Spotted Poisonous Python on the tree, Yang Chi nodded and said, "Yang also agrees with Envoy Zhou’s conjecture, so let’s not switch shifts anymore. Let’s deal with this Rust-Spotted Poisonous Python first, and then guard the Spirit Peach until it ripens together!"
"That is indeed what we should do."
Zhou Chun responded and imdiately discussed with Yang Chi how to lure the Rust-Spotted Poisonous Python down from the Spirit Peach tree.
After their discussion, it was Zhou Chun, who was at the initial stage of Foundation Establishnt, who undertook the task.
There was no helping it, as if Yang Chi, who was at the middle stage of Foundation Establishnt, took over, the Rust-Spotted Poisonous Python might sense that it couldn’t guard the Spirit Peach and would then either eat or destroy them prematurely.
Neither scenario was acceptable to Zhou Chun and his allies.
Thus, it had to be Zhou Chun, who was at the initial stage of Foundation Establishnt, to step up.
Zhou Chun strode towards the cliff where the Spirit Peach tree was situated, imdiately alarming the Rust-Spotted Poisonous Python on the tree.
In an instant, a hiss rang out and a reddish-brown poison arrow shot towards Zhou Chun.
Zhou Chun, who had already witnessed the power of the poison arrow, didn’t dare underestimate it and imdiately raised his hand to launch a Golden Light Sword Qi to intercept it.
Upon collision in mid-air, the poison arrow and Sword Qi burst into a cloud of poison water that fell to the ground.
Everything the poison water touched, whether it was stone or vegetation, was instantly dissolved into a puddle of red toxin!
Having dispersed the poison arrow with a slash of Sword Qi, Zhou Chun didn’t wait for the Rust-Spotted Poisonous Python to strike again and took the lead with a slash of "Golden Cauldron Profound Light," conjuring a golden sword that appeared to cut down both the snake and the tree in one fell swoop.
This move instantly enraged the Rust-Spotted Poisonous Python.
With its mouth wide open, it spat out a highly concentrated toxic liquid arrow towards the Golden Light Longsword, dissolving it mid-air.
Then, the snake moved swiftly and leaped from the tree towards Zhou Chun.
Now is the mont!
A glint of cold light flashed in Zhou Chun’s eyes, and he imdiately deployed the "Flying Dragon Snatch" Magic Artifact to attack the Rust-Spotted Poisonous Python that was lunging towards him in mid-air.
At the sa ti, he slapped the Spirit Beast Pouch at his waist, and the Silver Lightning Python Baibai, having fully recovered, made a dazzling entrance!
The poor Rust-Spotted Poisonous Python finally realized it had been duped.
But it was already too late.
The poison cloud it had exhaled was easily penetrated by the Crimson Gold Flying Claw, which clenched firmly onto its body and pierced it through.
Imdiately after, a flash of silvery white lightning struck the python, sending it crashing to the ground.
In just a few moves, the Rust-Spotted Poisonous Python on the ground had already beco a dead snake.
Yang Chi, who had retreated to a distance to watch, saw this scene and his expression changed slightly.
He had heard of Zhou Chun’s reputation and knew that Zhou Chun’s strength was no less than that of a mid-stage Foundation Establishnt Cultivator.
But without having seen it with his own eyes, he naturally harbored doubts.
Now, having witnessed the strength of Zhou Chun and his servant firsthand, he felt that the rumors might have even underrated Zhou Chun’s true power.
"Envoy Zhou is truly formidable. Even if I had taken action myself, I am afraid it would be difficult to resolve this Rust-Spotted Poisonous Python in such a short ti!"
As he approached, watching Zhou Chun skinning the python and extracting the gallbladder, he could not help but exclaim from the bottom of his heart.
"Envoy Yang is too kind. Being able to win so quickly was just Zhou taking advantage of a situation where the enemy did not know our strategy," replied Zhou Chun, who quickly handled the remains of the Rust-Spotted Poisonous Python.
For Cultivators, only the snake skin, gall, fangs, and poison sac of such a poisonous snake were useful; the rest of the flesh and bones might contain toxins and were of no value.
So after removing what was useful, Zhou Chun burned the body to ashes and then looked up at the Spirit Peach tree on the cliff and whispered, "I wonder when this Purple Pattern Golden Peach will truly ripen, I hope it doesn’t attract any more trouble by then!"
"It should be within these few days, I guess!"
Yang Chi replied sowhat uncertainly, then joined Zhou Chun in guarding the Purple Pattern Golden Peach tree on the cliff, one above and one below.
