Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

Hearing his words, the female cultivator immediately raised her eyebrows, her eyes filled with a mocking tone as she said, "What's the matter? Are you so anxious to clear your name because you're afraid I'll implicate you, afraid that Green Lotus Temple will come looking for trouble with you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Daoyi couldn't help but twitch the corner of his eye, also speaking out of annoyance, "Zhou has no acquaintance with you; what relationship is there to clear!"

To this day, he doesn't even know the name of the female cultivator, yet his guarded Primordial Yang Body of over a hundred years had been broken by someone, and even his cultivation level had a minor realm siphoned away.

The very thought of this made his blood boil, leaving no room to tolerate her words.

But at this moment, hearing his words, the female cultivator also came to realize that she might have misunderstood him.

However, as the Red Dragon Protector, how could she possibly lower her face to apologize?

So she could only respond indifferently, "Then listen well, my name is Lin Hongyu!"

Zhou Daoyi heard her words, but said nothing, merely taking new clothes from his storage pouch to change into.

Afterward, glancing at the two disordered battlefields, he hesitated slightly before looking at Lin Hongyu and saying, "Although the Green Flood Dragon was killed by you, you also caused Zhou to lose a realm of cultivation, so Zhou taking a section of its corpse to exchange for elixirs to restore lost cultivation shouldn't be too much, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Hongyu let out a snort, "Hmm, greedy man, haven't you already obtained the Flood Dragon inner core and the remnant soul, and still you're not satisfied?"

She didn't, however, express clear opposition.

Zhou Daoyi took her silence as consent.

So without further ado, he directly took the rear half of the corpse that still had the dragon's tail attached.

This back half of the corpse was less than four Zhang long and was estimated to be worth only about one-third of that of the front half.

But for him, who had already obtained the Flood Dragon inner core and remnant soul, it was pure profit.

Therefore, after taking this section of the corpse, he stepped onto the head of the Sky Azure Cloud Python, ready to leave.

Having been silent until then, Lin Hongyu couldn't help but speak out as she saw this, "You're leaving just like that? At the very least, leave your name and origins with me, so I will know who I've slept with!"

Zhou Daoyi, upon hearing her words and initially feeling elated at obtaining a segment of the Flood Dragon's body, suddenly felt his mood falter, replying with a somewhat embarrassed and annoyed tone, "There's no need for that. I shall regard today's events as if they never happened!"

Then, he spurred the Sky Azure Cloud Python to soar into the sky and swiftly left the scene with the Fire Divine Jackal.

"Hmph, you think you can just not say it and I won't be able to find out?"

Watching the retreating figure of the Sky Azure Cloud Python, Lin Hongyu's eyes flashed an odd color, her face revealing a cold smirk.

…

"I have lived for more than two hundred years, and this is the first time I've heard of such a thing—truly an eye-opener!"

On Pagoda Peak, Zhou Mingde, having listened to Zhou Daoyi recount his bizarre experience upon returning, stared at him with a face full of astonishment for a good while before letting out a long, bitter sigh.

Even the event of a Foundation Establishment cultivator slaying a Purple Mansion cultivator might not compare to Zhou Daoyi's extraordinary experience.

"This time was indeed my negligence; at that moment, I should not have harbored any wishful thinking and should have directly killed that demoness!"

Zhou Daoyi said resentfully, his tone full of regret.

Zhou Mingde, upon hearing this, immediately sought to comfort him, "You can't be blamed; according to the situation you described, if I were in your place, with the Fire Divine Jackal at my side, I most likely would have aimed to capture the opponent alive for the greatest benefit!"

But these were merely words of comfort.

In reality, Zhou Mingde also greatly regretted it.

If Zhou Daoyi had been able to directly kill Lin Hongyu at that time, not only would he have obtained the entire Green Flood Dragon corpse, but also her belongings—it would have been a tremendous windfall!

But now that things were set in stone, any words of regret would be of no use, only serving to make one feel more uncomfortable.

Therefore, he could only comfort Zhou Daoyi to not take this matter to heart.

After comforting Zhou Daoyi, Zhou Mingde straightened his expression and with a piercing gaze, he said, "Originally, I was not optimistic about your journey outside; I felt you had little chance."

"But now, what you have gained has truly left me in awe!"

```

"With the Green Flood Dragon Inner Pill in hand, once you cultivate the Sky Azure Cloud Python to the upper ranks of level two, you can begin the process of its transformation into a Flood Dragon."

"If this endeavor proves successful, as long as no Golden Core Stage Cultivator intervenes, our Zhou Family will truly fear no one!"

The strength of a third-stage Flood Dragon is immense, as one can tell by looking at the Green Flood Dragon and the Dark Flood Dragon.

If the Zhou Family could command a third-stage Flood Dragon, coupled with Zhou Mingde and his Spirit Pet, the Fire Divine Jackal, unless five or six Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators attack at once, none would likely be their match.

Furthermore, a power able to dispatch five or six Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators would hardly find itself in any conflict of interest with the Zhou Family.

And a third-stage Flood Dragon isn't just powerful—it can also create a Flood Dragon Lair to nurture and produce an abundance of Dragon Blood Spirit Items, generating sustained income for the family.

The Zhou Family could even use the Flood Dragon Spirit Blood as a catalyst to research and breed powerful Dragon Descendant Demon Beasts for Clan Members to contract.

Therefore, in Zhou Mingde's view, there was nothing more important to the Zhou Family right now than the transformation of Zhou Daoyi's Spirit Pet into a Flood Dragon!

He quickly narrowed his eyes, resolutely saying, "I think it is best if we use the Flood Dragon corpse you obtained for alchemy to enhance your Spirit Pet's cultivation level, as it's better not to publicize our possession of it anyway."

"As for the restoration of your personal cultivation level, the family will also support you with all its might!"

Zhou Daoyi naturally would not decline such an offer, especially since transforming the Sky Azure Cloud Python into a Flood Dragon had always been his greatest wish.

He then discussed the details of the matter with Zhou Mingde at length.

After everything was agreed upon, Zhou Daoyi left Zhou Mingde's cave dwelling and returned to the Central Peace Hall.

Within Central Peace Hall, Zhou Chun had been patiently waiting ever since he learned of Clan Leader Zhou Daoyi's return.

He knew that Zhou Daoyi would certainly come here first after returning from Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde's cave dwelling.

When Zhou Daoyi returned, Zhou Chun recounted how he encountered an envoy from the Dragon Transformation Sect being pursued and how he beat the proverbial dying dog by killing the black-clothed old man.

Now it was Zhou Daoyi's turn to be surprised.

He had thought the incidents he encountered while away from the family were once-in-a-millennium occurrences.

Yet here was Zhou Chun, a younger member of the family, accomplishing the incredible feat of a Qi Refinement Cultivator slaying a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, no less a member of the Dragon Transformation Sect.

He looked at Zhou Chun with a surprised face, his lips parting slightly as if to express that Zhou Chun's actions were too rash.

But recalling his own exploits of scheming for the Flood Dragon's inner core at the Foundation Establishment level, he felt it hypocritical to chide him.

Besides, Zhou Chun was no longer a child, and his actions were always well-calculated and prudent. Deciding to act meant that he had thoroughly considered the consequences.

So he quickly swallowed the words at the tip of his tongue and, instead, expressed admiration, saying, "Zhengchun, you really have given me a big surprise!"

Zhou Chun saw that he wasn't blamed for taking risks and felt somewhat strange about it.

Still, he explained, "Junior only thought to seize the rare opportunity and take the risk. Little did I expect that the power of 'Xinjin Sword Qi' would exceed my imagination and succeed so easily!"

"Hmm, although 'Xinjin Sword Qi' is somewhat painful to cultivate, if one can endure it, the gains are well worth the suffering," Zhou Daoyi nodded slightly, endorsing Zhou Chun's words.

Honestly, Zhou Daoyi also admired Zhou Chun's tolerance and determination to cultivate such a secret technique.

In the past, many Zhou Family Cultivators coveted the power of this secret technique and attempted to cultivate it.

Yet, unable to withstand the agony of cultivation, they had no choice but to give up halfway.

Zhou Chun's achievement in mastering this technique was proof of his exceptional perseverance.

Seeing his explanation accepted by Zhou Daoyi, Zhou Chun took the opportunity to say, "The Clan Leader is perceptive. Junior has obtained some personal records of Sect Members from the Envoy's Storage Pouch. These might be of use to the family."

"Additionally, I've acquired some Elixirs from the Envoy's Storage Pouch and would like to request the Clan Leader's help in identifying their uses."
