Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming Chapter 390 - 212: Accidentally Obtaining Treasure Medicine,

This is the power of fa!

Compared to Zhou Chun, who had just made a splash at the "Hundred Clans Conference," the two Foundation Establishnt cultivators beside him were relatively unknown and not particularly advanced in their cultivation. They weren’t enough to make the vendor feel any significant apprehension.

Naturally, there was no need to be overly deferential in front of them.

"Taoist Friend Zhou doesn’t look like a wealthy man to . How about this, if you add another seven hundred Spirit Coins, I’ll give you the Dragon Scale Golden Shield magic artifact I used before!"

Zhou Chun glanced at the vendor and with a pat on his Storage Pouch, took out the Dragon Scale Golden Shield given to him by Li Tianxing, the Golden Dragon Hall Master of the Dragon Transformation Sect.

Indeed, this was a second-tier, dium-quality Defensive Dharma Artifact that had saved him many tis.

But now that he had the "Profound Spirit Gold Bell," this shield was not of much use to him anymore. It was better to exchange it for the Golden Ginseng.

During the "Hundred Clans Conference," Zhou Chun had used the Dragon Scale Golden Shield several tis, so the vendor naturally rembered this artifact.

Seeing that Zhou Chun was willing to trade the artifact, the vendor was delighted and imdiately asked, "Taoist Friend Zhou, may I examine the artifact?"

"Of course."

Zhou Chun nonchalantly tossed the artifact to the vendor.

After holding the artifact and examining it carefully, and having Zhou Chun demonstrate its powers in front of him, the vendor said joyfully, "Thank you, Taoist Friend Zhou, for parting with it. I’ll make up the difference right away!"

After finishing his sentence, he patted his Storage Pouch, took out seven hundred Spirit Coins along with the Golden Ginseng, and handed them to Zhou Chun.

However, Zhou Chun did not hurry to receive the items. Instead, he turned to address the two cultivators who had arrived earlier, "Fellow Daoists, would you be willing to match the price with ?"

Upon hearing his words, the faces of the two cultivators turned unsightly as they said nothing.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun couldn’t help but smile lightly and said, "Then I won’t stand on ceremony."

He then took the items from the vendor, removed his Divine Sense Imprint from the Dragon Scale Golden Shield, and left the place.

The acquisition of the Golden Ginseng undoubtedly improved Zhou Chun’s mood considerably.

He purchased this item not to resell it or for alchemy, but to prepare for the Golden Winged Tiger’s eventual advancent to the second tier.

Although the Golden Winged Tiger has a powerful bloodline, its advancent to the second tier would still take a long ti, just like Baibai’s previous advancent.

The Golden Ginseng, with its potent dicinal power, could provide the necessary catalysis for this process.

It was akin to how the four hundred-year-old Dragon Blood Ginseng helped Baibai break through before.

But this stroke of luck did not last. After that, Zhou Chun visited all parts of the Marketplace but did not find any treasures worth his attention.

So, he returned to where Zhou Jiarui and the others had set up their stall and took over their vending duties, giving them so ti to explore the Marketplace themselves.

As half a day quickly passed, Zhou Mingde and the other thirty family leaders concluded their secret talks with the Golden Core Stage cultivators from the three great sects and finally reunited with their clan mbers.

On the Zhou Family’s side, after Zhou Mingde’s return, Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoyi were quickly called by him for a confidential eting in an inn within the Marketplace.

"The situation is as we had anticipated—the Hundred Clans Conference is indeed a mobilization assembly before the southern expedition against the Dragon Transformation Sect."

Inside the inn, after Zhou Mingde had the three of them set up a three-layer soundproof barrier, he began by affirming their previous conjecture.

Although the three of them had such a conjecture, it was purely speculative without concrete evidence.

But now, he had received confirmation from the Golden Core Stage cultivators of the three great sects.

"What are the mysterious benefits for the top thirty powerful families?"

Zhou Daoyi asked with a look of anticipation.

He knew that even if he didn’t ask, Zhou Mingde would bring it up.

Still, he asked.

It wasn’t because he was impatient, but to satisfy the elder’s "pleasure of teaching" ntality.

Sure enough, hearing his question, Zhou Mingde quickly smiled and said, "This mysterious benefit may not be as great for our Zhou Family as it is for the other families, perhaps it could be used to exchange for other benefits!"

He then went on to reveal the details.

It turned out that the mysterious benefit offered by the three great sects was allowing the top thirty powerful families to cross the borders of Yunzhou and establish a Frontier Base a thousand miles into what was currently the Wasteland Territory, after the southern expedition against the Dragon Transformation Sect!

"This move is very astute!"

"Even though everyone knows that establishing a Frontier Base there is fraught with danger and difficulty, akin to guarding the gate for the three great sects, who could refuse such a benefit?"

"The resources of Spiritual dicine, Demon Beasts, and the Spirit Ore hidden underground in the Wasteland Territory have long been coveted by all family forces. Previously, without the support of a power like the three great sects, no one dared to brave the risk of being annihilated by fourth or fifth tier Demon Beasts to go there and develop the land!"

"If the three great sects are willing to endorse it, shielding from the pressure of those top-tier Demon Beasts, then even knowing that establishing a Frontier Base will result in great sacrifices and costs for the family, there probably isn’t any family that can resist such a temptation!"

A glint flashed in Zhou Daoyi’s eyes as he quickly deduced the intentions of the three great sects from Zhou Mingde’s explanation.

"Yes, just as you’ve said, Daoyi, even though we know there are significant risks, no family would forego such a benefit."

Zhou Mingde nodded slightly, conveying his agreent with Zhou Daoyi’s analysis.
