Beast Taming Immortal Clan

While in Tianyuan Immortal City, communication between Zhou Chun and his family was quite inconvenient.

He knew nothing about the situation on his family's side.

However, the fact that no news has come is actually the best news.

Since it wasn't anything important, Zhou Mingde certainly wouldn't send a family cultivator all the way to the Great Zhou Kingdom to deliver a message to him.

After all, apart from Golden Core cultivators, even Purple Mansion cultivators might encounter misfortune on their way to the Great Zhou Kingdom.

As for Zhou Chun going back to his family to find out what happened, it's not impossible, but there's no need for it.

To reiterate, he is not the Zhou family's nanny. Even if the Zhou family encounters some problems, as long as it's not something that requires his intervention to resolve, he has no need to get involved.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator's lifespan is only a little over two hundred years, while Zhou Chun still has over seven hundred years to live.

Even if he intervened and saved some of the Zhou family's Foundation Establishment cultivators, they would most likely still die because they couldn't open their Purple Mansion.

Therefore, unless something intolerable happens, such as other forces bullying the Zhou family cultivators, Zhou Chun and the other family elders don't need to care what dangers these clansmen encounter outside.

While Zhou Chun was collecting materials to refine the Ancient Dust Pill, he did not neglect his own cultivation.

After years of diligent practice and with the experience of merging with Lei Jiao Bai Bai as a reference, Zhou Chun's cultivation progress of the "Beast Spirit Fusion Technique" has been steadily increasing. He has now successfully merged briefly with the Golden Armor Mountain-Bearing Turtle Stone.

This gave him another powerful means of survival.

Once he merges with the Golden Armor Mountain-Carrying Turtle Stone, attacks from early-stage Golden Core cultivators become completely ineffective against him, and even mid-stage Golden Core cultivators need to use mid-grade magic treasures to break through his defenses.

But as long as he can stand on the ground, even a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator is completely helpless against him.

Since the Golden-Armored Mountain-Carrying Turtle and the Stone can combine, the Golden-Winged Tiger will naturally follow suit soon.

In the end, the most difficult spirit pet to merge with Zhou Chun is probably the Wood Sprite, Mu Sang.

This is not only because his tacit understanding with the Wood Spirit Musang is not as deep as that with the other three spirit pets, but also because the other party's magical attributes are seriously opposed to his, which will increase the difficulty of fusion and the strength after fusion may not necessarily be improved.

In addition, Zhou Chun had cultivated the secret techniques [Heart-to-Heart Golden Lock] and [Golden罡 Slash] to the third level, corresponding to the Golden Core stage.

These two secret techniques will be useful when fighting against cultivators of the same level again.

Unfortunately, there was still no progress in the cultivation of the "Golden Escape Technique". Although it cannot be said that there was no progress at all, the speed of progress was also unbearable to look at!

Zhou Chun is now devoting some of his energy to cultivating the [Gengjin Sky-Splitting Thunder] divine power that he brought from the Moon Wheel Sect.

This supernatural power is a variant of the "Geng Metal Divine Thunder" among the Five Elements Divine Thunder, and its cultivation difficulty is much lower than that of supernatural powers like "Metal Escape Technique".

Zhou Chun was able to unleash this kind of divine lightning after only a little over a year of cultivation.

However, he has only grasped the basics of this divine power. Not only is the speed of divine lightning activation extremely slow and the variations minimal, but its power also falls short of the requirements.

To truly master this supernatural ability and apply it in battle, it would probably take twenty or thirty years of arduous training.

Fortunately, he has now achieved the Golden Core stage and no longer needs to focus on cultivating those alchemy, artifact, talisman, and array techniques, so he has plenty of time to cultivate these supernatural abilities.

In his sixth year in Tianyuan Immortal City, Zhou Chun once again gathered enough materials for a batch of [Ancient Dust Pills] and asked Luo Qingni to refine seven spirit pills.

All seven elixirs were given to Lei Jiao for free.

The process of a third-tier high-grade demon beast advancing to the fourth tier is different from that of a late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator forming their core.

Cultivators advancing in their cultivation level can trigger extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth, absorbing and refining a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth to transform it into their own magical power.

However, demonic beasts do not have this advantage.

Therefore, they need to accumulate power after their cultivation reaches the third-tier upper level, until they can no longer accumulate power.

For four-clawed thunder dragons like Bai Bai, there are no barriers to advancing to the fourth rank; they only need to continuously accumulate power.

Once it has accumulated enough, it will naturally break through to the fourth tier.

In contrast, those demonic beasts with insufficient bloodline grade will be limited by their bloodline constraints after accumulating their power to the maximum, and will be unable to truly break through. They will need some amazing opportunity to take that step and defy fate.

Of Zhou Chun's current spirit pets, only the Golden-Winged Tiger might encounter some trouble when breaking through to the fourth rank.

After all, it was only a mutation in its bloodline, and it did not awaken a powerful tiger-type demon beast bloodline like Lei Jiao Bai Bai and Jin Jia Fu Shan Gui Shi Tou.

Now it's up to Lei Jiao Bai Bai and Mu Mei Mu Sang to see who breaks through to the fourth rank first.

On this day, Zhou Chun was invited to attend a small exchange meeting at the cave dwelling of a Golden Core cultivator in the Immortal City.

There are quite a few Golden Core cultivators like Luo Qingni who reside in Tianyuan Immortal City. Some of these people enjoy making friends and hold an exchange meeting every ten or eight years for cultivators of the same level to share their knowledge and resources.

This way, they can conveniently collect the relevant spiritual items themselves and also gain favors from other cultivators, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

As for Golden Core cultivators like Zhou Chun, who were staying in Tianyuan Immortal City and came here to collect certain spiritual items, they naturally did not want to miss such exchange events.

Zhou Chun has participated in several such exchange meetings in recent years. Most of the time, it's the same familiar faces, and only occasionally do new faces appear.

When he arrived at the cultivator's cave where the exchange meeting was being held, he recognized most of the cultivators who had arrived earlier, which made him slightly disappointed.

It's not that these people are poor, but he knows that they probably don't have anything he needs.

But because everyone wasn't all there yet, he still held onto a sense of anticipation.

After waiting for quite some time, five Golden Core cultivators suddenly entered, three of whom were unfamiliar to the group.

No, there shouldn't be three people!

After Zhou Chun's gaze swept over the faces of the three unfamiliar cultivators, he was startled and then quietly looked away to avoid attracting attention.

Fortunately, everyone's attention was drawn to the five people who had just entered.

Then, the cultivator who was presiding over the exchange meeting today, a middle-aged man in blue robes with a refined appearance, smiled and said, "Come, come, let me introduce these three new fellow Daoists to you all."

"This is Fellow Daoist Wang Jun from Thunder Cliff Valley. Fellow Daoist Wang comes from a prestigious sect and achieved the Golden Core stage before the age of three hundred. His lightning divine power is unparalleled, and he has the potential to become a Nascent Soul cultivator!"

"This is Fellow Daoist Zhang Shiyao from the Fire Spirit Sect of Chen State. The Fire Spirit Sect is also a major sect with a Nascent Soul stage cultivator in charge. Fellow Daoist Zhang's fire-based divine abilities are equally formidable!"

"As for this one, he is Fellow Daoist Xu Bin from Rong Kingdom. Fellow Daoist Xu has been in the Core Formation stage for three hundred years and is about to break through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. His strength is also extraordinary!"

The man in blue was named He Shengming, a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator. He was a renowned talisman-making master in Tianyuan Immortal City, capable of crafting low-grade fourth-order talismans.

Zhou Chun also established a friendship with Luo Qingni through their connection.

Upon hearing the introduction of the three unfamiliar Golden Core cultivators brought in, Zhou Chun and the other eleven Golden Core cultivators who had arrived earlier greeted and exchanged pleasantries with him.

Although Zhou Chun greeted people with a smile, he was actually brewing murderous intent in his heart!

Zhou Chun would never forget Wang Jun from Leiya Valley.

Back when he was still at the early stage of the Purple Mansion realm, he was ambushed and killed by this person after winning a bid for a [Millennial Thunder Light Grass] at an auction.

That ambush not only severely injured Zhou Chun, but also nearly cost him his life.

He's held a grudge about this ever since!

However, this person not only had a higher level of cultivation and strength than him at that time, but also had a very powerful background.

So much so that even though Zhou Chun later possessed strength that was almost invincible at the Purple Mansion stage, he did not dare to easily seek revenge.

After successfully forming his core, Zhou Chun had too many things to do and didn't have the time to specifically seek revenge.

Unexpectedly, I encountered this enemy again under these circumstances, and the other party has also successfully formed his core!

Given Wang Jun's background and status, once he successfully forms his core, he will certainly have no shortage of magical treasures, and he may even have a supernatural talisman bestowed upon him by a Nascent Soul stage cultivator from Thunder Cliff Valley.

If Zhou Chun wants to take revenge, he will have to plan carefully.

The key is that if he wants to take revenge, he must find a way to avoid secret techniques like "Blood Soul Guidance" and also hide his identity as Zhang Liang.

This forced him to act with caution.

"Let's wait until Bai Bai advances to the fourth rank before considering this!"

Seeing that his enemy did not recognize him, Zhou Chun temporarily suppressed his desire for revenge.

For cultivators, revenge is never too late, even after a thousand years.

He had no reason to put himself in mortal danger just to avenge a momentary grudge.

Wang Jun probably forgot about his ambush and killing of Zhou Chun back then, and never imagined that the early-stage Purple Mansion cultivator he had been chasing back then would be able to successfully form his core so quickly.

Therefore, even though he was sitting right across from him, he was completely unaware that his enemy was sitting right in front of him.

After this exchange of pleasantries, the exchange meeting quickly began with He Shengming.

Just as Zhou Chun had initially thought, He Shengming and his ilk didn't have anything he needed, so he could basically only watch.

Whether it was to accommodate the newcomers like Wang Jun, they were allowed to show off their exchange items shortly afterward.

The man raised his hand and patted the storage bag at his waist, and several items appeared in front of him for exchange, all of which were rare thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, magical treasures, and spiritual materials.

Then he said, "I wish to exchange these items for some spiritual objects containing the power of lightning, whether they are magical treasures, spiritual materials, or spiritual herbs. If any fellow Daoists have such spiritual objects they wish to sell, please feel free to consult me. I am willing to exchange them at a high price!"

Upon hearing his words, Zhou Chun's heart stirred, and he instantly came up with a plan to take revenge in the future.

Lightning-attribute spiritual objects are already rare in the cultivation world, and those that can be used by Golden Core cultivators are even rarer. Judging from Wang Jun's appearance, he must have a great need for such spiritual objects.

In that case, perhaps he can use such spiritual objects as bait to lure this person into a trap in the future!

You should know that he possesses a treasure that no cultivator of the Thunder Element Technique can help but covet: the horn of the Thunderworm Beast.

Although that horn only came from a third-tier Thunderworm Beast, as long as it fell into the hands of a Golden Core cultivator, and as long as they were willing to invest other high-quality thunder-attribute spiritual materials, it was still possible to have a master craftsman refine it into a magic weapon!

Even if only a low-grade magic weapon is crafted, its unique lightning absorption and lightning avoidance properties will make it no less valuable than a high-grade magic weapon.

Zhou Chun knew that some Golden Core cultivators who practiced Thunder Strike Techniques often needed to absorb the power of heavenly thunder to cultivate their supernatural abilities.

However, the power of heavenly lightning is domineering and fierce, unlike other powers that are easy to control. If one is not careful, it may injure the cultivator.

If you have a magical artifact that can absorb and ward off lightning, then you don't need to worry about these things.

While Zhou Chun was thinking about these things, He Shengming and another early-stage Golden Core cultivator surnamed Zhong each took out lightning-attribute spiritual items and exchanged them with Wang Jun.

Among them, He Shengming took out a piece of lightning-struck wood. This wood was originally a fourth-order spiritual wood. After being struck by lightning, some lightning-struck wood containing the power of lightning was left behind.

It's clear that Wang Jun is very satisfied with this item.

The other person took out a piece of "Thunder Light Iron," which, although not a magical treasure or spiritual material, was still accepted by Wang Jun.

After Wang Jun finished his exchange, Zhang Shiyao, who also came from a major sect, took the stage.

This person's actions were quite extraordinary; he actually produced an earth-attribute staff magic weapon, a thousand-year-old precious medicine, and several rare spiritual herbs, magic weapons, and spiritual materials.

He then stated his request, "I wish to exchange this for a seed of the [Earth Core Lotus Flame]. If any fellow Daoist can provide information, I will also offer a generous reward!"

There are various naturally generated spiritual fires in the world. Once these spiritual fires develop spirituality and become fire seeds, they can be refined by cultivators. Some powerful fire-attribute divine abilities can only be cultivated by refining the corresponding fire seeds.

For example, the famous "Samadhi True Fire" supernatural power requires the collection of three kinds of heavenly and earthly fires: fire from wood, fire from stone, and fire from the air, in order to cultivate it successfully.

【Earth Core Lotus Fire】Born from volcanic magma, it is a fire in stone that barely meets the requirements of the "Samadhi True Fire" supernatural power. Once it forms a seed, its power is much stronger than the pill fire of a Golden Core cultivator.

Although what Zhang Shiyao offered was valuable, it was clearly not enough to exchange for such a treasure, and such a treasure was not something that ordinary Golden Core cultivators could encounter and obtain.

In the end, they could only regretfully reclaim their treasure.

Then it was the cultivator named Xu Bin's turn to display his treasures.

The man raised his hand and patted the storage bag at his waist, then took out a jade box.

As the jade box was opened, a fiery red demon core radiating a powerful aura came into view.

Then the man introduced himself, saying, "A few years ago, I was quite lucky. I happened to encounter a demon beast that had forcibly broken through to the fourth rank and was severely injured. I was fortunate enough to obtain a fourth-rank fire-attribute demon core and all its materials. Today, I want to exchange this fourth-rank demon core and all its materials for a purely defensive magic weapon!"
