Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Chapter 154 Breakthrough Period, Monkey King Gives Birth [Please Subscribe]

Biyanze is located in the southeast of Lanzhou.

At this moment, the ten bandit cultivators that the Zhou family had captured from outside Hongya Market, as well as the three ordinary people with spiritual root aptitude that they had secretly gathered from the hands of rogue cultivators, were all sent to a small island deep in Biyan Marsh.

This island is in a very remote location with few resources around it, and very few cultivators would set foot on it.

Moreover, even if cultivators came here, as long as they were not Foundation Establishment cultivators, they would be scared away by the [Green Wood Spirit Ape] on the island.

On this day, Zhou Mingde, the Supreme Elder of the Zhou family, quietly left Jiufeng Ridge and secretly came to this island.

He first scanned the captured bandit cultivators with his divine sense.

These bandits were kept unconscious by drugs and guarded around the clock by the [Azure Wood Spirit Ape], so they didn't even know where they were.

The other three mortals who dreamed of cultivating immortality were placed in a cave and were not allowed to leave.

The Zhou family did not deliberately deceive these mortals. They had made it clear to them beforehand that if they wanted to cultivate immortality, they would have to go to a very far place and would find it difficult to return to see their families.

Since these mortals voluntarily chose to embark on this path, they can't blame the Zhou family for harming them after they joined the Dragon Transformation Sect.

After exchanging a few words with the Green Wood Spirit Ape, Zhou Mingde hid in the shadows and waited for the arrival of the Dragon Transformation Cult members.

After waiting for about half a day, a giant black tortoise suddenly emerged from the lake outside the island, with a middle-aged woman in a red robe standing on its back.

Such commotion, of course, could not be kept secret from Zhou Mingde on the island.

When he discovered that the woman in red was not Lin Hongyu, but a missionary of the Dragon Transformation Sect with a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, he breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, outside of the Zhou family, he was still somewhat worried about meeting alone with a ruthless character like Lin Hongyu.

Fortunately, Lin Hongyu kept her word and did not come in person.

Immediately, he cast a spell to conceal his face and then appeared before the man.

"Junior Lin Yan greets Senior."

Upon seeing Zhou Mingde emerge, the woman in red who had dismounted from the tortoise's back hurriedly bowed to him.

"Oh, you also have the surname Lin. Are you from the same family as Fellow Daoist Lin?"

Zhou Mingde scrutinized the woman in red and asked in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, the woman in red quickly shook her head and denied it, saying, "No, senior, you misunderstand. I just happen to share the same surname as the Dharma Protector."

"I see."

Zhou Mingde nodded and didn't dwell on the matter any further.

He immediately looked at the other person and said, "Then Fellow Daoist Lin should have told you everything, right? Did you bring the items?"

"Yes, the Dharma Protector has already explained everything to me, and I have brought the items for the exchange."

As the beautiful woman in red spoke, she took the initiative to pat the storage bag at her waist, took out three jade boxes, and handed them to Zhou Mingde.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Mingde very cautiously opened the jade box remotely using his magic power, without personally touching it.

Inside the opened jade box were three different kinds of rare treasures.

Inside the jade box was a dark red ginseng of excellent quality, which should be a red blood ginseng.

The other jade box contained a piece of reddish-brown jade, about three fingers wide and half a foot long.

The last jade box contained a reddish-brown egg.

"There is a dragon blood ginseng that is over three hundred years old, a piece of red dragon jade, and finally this egg is the egg of the dragon-born demon beast, the Crimson Flame Dragon Python."

Just as Zhou Mingde was examining the treasures inside the jade box, the woman in red, Lin Yan, had already explained the origins of the three items to him.

Without a doubt, these three items are all special spiritual objects of the Dragon Transformation Sect.

As a force that may be protected by a fifth-order dragon, the Dragon Transformation Sect has no shortage of such dragon blood spirits.

As a protector of the Dragon Transformation Sect, Lin Hongyu might not be able to obtain high-level dragon blood spiritual items, but she certainly wouldn't have trouble getting some low-level ones.

After all, the Dragon Transformation Sect's "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique" requires various dragon blood spiritual objects to assist in its cultivation.

Zhou Mingde simply nodded slightly and said, "The items are all acceptable, but next time I hope we can exchange them for something our Zhou family needs more. Here is a list; please give it to Fellow Daoist Lin when you get back."

"Yes, this junior will certainly convey your words and things to you."

The woman in red, Lin Yan, respectfully agreed and put the jade slip given to her by Zhou Mingde into her storage bag.

At this moment, Zhou Mingde flicked his sleeve, closed the lids of the three jade boxes again, and put them into his storage bag.

Then he pointed in a certain direction and said, "The person is in there. Go and take him yourself. I'll be going now."

After saying that, he took to the air and returned to the Zhou family.

Upon seeing him leave like that, a look of surprise and doubt flashed in the eyes of Lin Yan, the woman in red.

Then they quickly headed in the direction Zhou Mingde had indicated.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she discovered the ten unconscious rogue cultivators inside, as well as the three mortals imprisoned in the cave.

Before long, the ten bandit cultivators and three ordinary people were all carried by the woman in red onto the back of the giant black turtle in the water.

Then, as if appearing out of nowhere, she rode the giant turtle into the water and disappeared underwater.

After returning to his family, Zhou Mingde summoned Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Chun to his cave dwelling and discussed the transaction.

"So far, the other party seems to be keeping their word, and we can continue to proceed according to plan."

"But for the safety of the family, Dao Yi, you still need to step up your efforts. Now it all depends on you."

At this point, Zhou Mingde looked intently at Zhou Daoyi.

"Rest assured, Elder, I am well aware of the great responsibility I bear and dare not slack off in the slightest."

Zhou Daoyi nodded emphatically and said in a deep voice, "If all goes well, I should be able to break through within three to five years!"

"Alright! Then let's keep up this pretense for a few more years."

Zhou Mingde exclaimed "Good!" and was quite satisfied with the answer.

Then he reached into his storage pouch and took out all three jade boxes.

"These three items are useless to me. You can take them and deal with them carefully. Be careful not to let them cause any leaks."

He then handed the items to Zhou Daoyi.

"Yes, we will handle it well, Elder, please rest assured."

Zhou Daoyi responded and accepted the gifts.

The two then stayed in Zhou Mingde's cave for a while before returning to Zhongping Hall.

"This 300-year-old Dragon Blood Ginseng has arrived at just the right time. Zheng Chun, keep it safe. Once your Silver Lightning Python has accumulated enough, you can use it to advance to the second tier."

"As for this Crimson Flame Dragon Python egg, let the elders see who is willing to raise it. Although it is only a low-level demon beast, with more dragon blood and spiritual materials used to raise it, the chance of it advancing to the second tier is still quite high."

"Our family doesn't have any weapon refiners who can put this Dragon Blood Jade to good use, so we'll keep it for now and see if we can use it to exchange for something we need in the future."

Inside the Zhongping Hall, after Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Chun returned, they immediately began arranging the ownership of the three treasures they had acquired through the transaction.

Things obtained through illegitimate means are best kept to themselves as few people as possible.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to exchange and use it.

For family leaders like Zhou Chun, who usually have more merit points than they can use, it's perfect to exchange them for these things as a way to offset their losses.

Therefore, Zhou Chun did not hesitate to accept the Dragon Blood Ginseng without any hesitation, and as Zhou Daoyi had instructed, he notified several elders to come and discuss the ownership of the Crimson Flame Dragon Python Egg.

After some discussion, the Crimson Flame Dragon Python Egg was ultimately acquired by the Fourth Elder, Zhou Jiarui.

After disposing of the items obtained in the exchange, everything returned to normal for the Zhou family.

Upon learning that the clan leader Zhou Daoyi would be able to successfully break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage in three to five years, Zhou Chun also began to prepare for the matter of switching cultivation techniques.

By constantly issuing gold energy collection tasks at his own expense, he has now collected a considerable amount of gold energy.

Therefore, he can boldly use a portion of the gold energy as a consumable to conduct a simulation test.

Just like when he first started practicing the "Xin Jin Sword Qi" secret technique, those who practice the "Jin Ding Xuan Gong" must first ensure that their meridians can withstand the invasion of metal energy.

As long as the final step of casting the cauldron is not carried out, this act of absorbing metal energy will at most cause slight damage to the meridians, but will not endanger life.

In the quiet room, Zhou Chun sat cross-legged, then raised his hand and lifted the lid of the gourd magic artifact in front of him that collected golden energy, and slightly made a hand seal to guide it.

Instantly, an invisible golden energy was drawn out by him, which entered his body directly through his nostrils and into his lungs.

Among the five internal organs, the lungs belong to the metal element. Therefore, it is most appropriate to spread the metal energy throughout the body via the meridians in the lungs.

However, metal energy is an extremely destructive external evil energy. Even though Zhou Chun's meridians had been greatly strengthened after he established his foundation, the sudden invasion of a large amount of metal energy still caused him to sweat profusely and clench his teeth in pain.

Fortunately, he had experienced this before, so although he was in excruciating pain, he did not panic. He simply focused on controlling his mind and using his magic power to slowly circulate the metal energy in his body, preventing it from running wildly into vital parts such as the heart.

After staying in the quiet room for half a day, Zhou Chuncai emerged from it, his face pale, and went into the courtyard.

vomit!

He opened his mouth and vomited, leaving a large pool of blood on the ground.

These are all internal bleeding injuries caused when the metal energy circulates within the body.

After vomiting out the blood and fluid that had accumulated in his body, Zhou Chun felt much better and immediately went back to his room to recuperate.

In this way, every one or two months, Zhou Chun would absorb metal energy to temper his internal meridians, allowing them to adapt to this external evil energy.

That day, Zhou Chun received good news from Zhou Zhengyong.

A female monkey who is often the sole favorite of the new Monkey King, Crimson Flame Vajra Monkey, has been found to be pregnant.

Upon learning of this, he took it very seriously and went to Feishi Peak.

"Currently, we can't tell anything from the pregnancy signs, but according to Zheng Yong, it's almost certain that the mother monkey is carrying the offspring of the Crimson Flame Golden Monkey."

"I firmly believe that this time we will be able to establish a proper population of the Crimson Flame Vajra Monkey within the Zhou family!"

On Flying Stone Peak, Zhou Daoquan faced Zhou Chun, who had come to gather information, and confidently stated his judgment.

Clearly, he has never doubted his past statements.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun smiled and said, "If that's what the elder says, then I'm relieved. I'll wait for good news."

Then he bid farewell to Zhou Daoquan and went to the library.

Upon entering the library, he saw the Golden Monkey learning to write from the Green Wood Ape.

When he saw him come in, King Kong Monkey wanted to put down his pen and greet him.

But the blue-haired giant ape didn't hold back and slapped it on the head.

Immediately, it let out a pitiful whimper, scratched its head, and continued writing.

Zhou Chun smiled upon seeing this and watched from the side.

After the Golden Monkey finished writing, he looked at the Blue-haired Giant Ape and asked, "How is it? Elder Ape, do you think this old monkey is capable of being trained?"

Upon hearing this, the blue-haired giant ape immediately replied, "Although it's a bit clumsy and has a hard time staying still, it should be fine for guarding the house. The rest is up to fate."

Zhou Chun naturally understood the meaning of the words "creation" at the end.

He didn't offer any opinion on the matter, but simply smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble Elder Ape to teach it manners, so that it won't cause any trouble for this junior in the future."

"This is easy to discuss. As long as you send more spiritual fruits and wine, I, the old ape, will make it obedient and praised by everyone."

The blue-haired giant ape patted its chest and immediately made a guarantee.

Therefore, you only want more after you've had it.

Previously, the blue-haired giant ape was used to eating simple food and had no desires.

However, after enjoying the spirit fruits and spirit wine that Zhou Chun bought from outside with spirit coins a few times, it felt bland and tasteless when eating ordinary wild fruits and plain water, and it just didn't feel comfortable.

Now it even knows to dilute the wine with water and savor it slowly.

"No problem, I'll take care of this."

Zhou Chun smiled and agreed, then chatted with the Golden Monkey for a while before returning to Pagoda Peak.

Two more months passed, and good news came from the deer park.

Several of the common female deer that were captured from outside and brought in for mating have already become pregnant with the offspring of male eight-antlered water deer.

Although the offspring of such a combination of a demon beast and a wild beast may not necessarily become a demon beast.

But if two or three out of ten become demon beasts, it's already a huge profit.

Moreover, wild beasts containing the bloodline of demon beasts are much stronger than ordinary wild beasts, making them excellent mounts as well.

Good news has come from both families regarding the main types of monsters they cultivate, which is undoubtedly a very good omen for a beast-taming family like the Zhou family.

Many older Zhou family cultivators regarded this as a sign of the family's revival and were genuinely happy about it.

However, the distribution of these newly born monsters became a headache for Zhou Chun, the deputy clan leader.

Both the Crimson Flame Vajra Monkey and the Eight-Horned Water-Splitting Deer are excellent contract partners for cultivators in the Qi Refining stage.

Therefore, even before the cubs were born, some Zhou family cultivators came to him wanting to reserve them.

It's over 500,000 words now. I'm going to check the previous chapters, proofread the outline, and organize my thoughts in the next couple of days, so the update schedule might not be very consistent, but I'll try my best to guarantee two updates a day.
