Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 1460 - 580: Luo Qingni’s Repayment [Happy Mid-Autumn Festival]_2
Chapter 1460: Chapter 580: Luo Qingni’s Repayment [Happy Mid-Autumn Festival]_2
The environment of Snow Lotus Valley is particularly suited for Ice Spirit Root Warriors to cultivate, so they occupied the area and established a place for cultivation.
However, to avoid provoking the hostility of local forces in the Ice Barbarian Country, they dared not establish it as their own sect or family residence, and could only set up a base as Loose Cultivators, open to all cultivators.
This model is said to have continued for thousands of years.
This is why Zhou Chun chose to come here.
For him, since the Golden Core Stage cultivators in Snow Lotus Valley are only here for a suitable place for cultivation and are not native cultivators of the Ice Barbarian Country, it should be easier to interact with them.
Moreover, this place gathers a large number of Loose Cultivators, making it convenient for him to collect information on the Demon Beast bloodline of the Greater Yin Moon Toad.
Snow Lotus Valley got its name because it is home to many snow lotuses.
Upon entering the valley, Zhou Chun saw that many areas maintained their original appearance, growing large patches of Spiritual Medicines, among which some were rare herbs aged over five hundred years.
It is said that in the deepest parts of Snow Lotus Valley, there are even snow lotuses at the thousand-year Treasure Medicine level!
Where the cultivators in the valley gathered was a walled city.
This city has ice walls, and is divided into north and south areas; the North City occupies two-thirds of the area and is the residential zone, where cultivators reside for long or short durations and cultivate.
The South City is the commercial district, with various fixed shops and a free trading zone.
"Senior Zhang, the three elders in the valley happen to be available now. If you don’t have other matters, I can take you to visit them right away!"
Outside Ice City, Zhou Chun was assessing the situation of this Ice City, when a Purple Mansion Cultivator from Snow Lotus Valley, who was hosting him, suddenly caught a transmission flame, then respectfully conveyed the received information to him.
"Then I’ll trouble you to lead the way."
Zhou Chun withdrew his gaze and waved his hand, then followed the person around Ice City, heading directly to the deepest part of Snow Lotus Valley where the residences of several Golden Core Stage Elders were located.
Snow Lotus Valley spans several hundred miles, and what Zhou Chun saw in Ice City only covered one-third of the area.
The remaining area comprised private residences of several elders, where even ordinary Snow Lotus Valley cultivators were not allowed to enter lightly.
Following the guide around Ice City deep into the valley over a hundred miles, Zhou Chun arrived outside a region shrouded in thick white fog.
As soon as they descended outside the foggy area, a cold-tempered woman in a white dress walked out from within.
Upon appearing, she immediately greeted Zhou Chun with a ceremonial bow and said, "Junior Zhang Xuening, greetings to Senior Zhang. My master has prepared tea in the residence and awaits you. Please follow me inside for a conversation."
"Then I’ll trouble young Zhang."
Zhou Chun nodded slightly and followed the female cultivator, who had Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivation, into the white fog ahead.
The white fog naturally formed from the power of formations, concealing a range of snow peaks connected as one, the tallest being about six to seven hundred feet high, the slopes also cultivated densely with snow lotuses, the valley’s special produce!
Following the woman in the white dress to the mountaintop in front of an Ice Crystal Palace, a figure flashed out from the palace, appearing right on the steps before the door.
Looking closely, the person was an elderly man with a youthful appearance in white robes, whose cultivation was also at the Golden Core Stage, same as Zhou Chun, only he was just entering this stage while the other was one step short of advancing to the Golden Core Late Stage.
After taking several steps to greet Zhou Chun from the palace gate, the man bowed and said, "With a distinguished guest arriving, my failure to greet you afar is regrettable. I hope Taoist Friend Zhang understands."
"Taoist Friend Zhang is polite. It’s my abrupt visit that disturbed your cultivation. I should be the one to apologize to you."
Zhou Chun courteously returned the gesture, then entered the Ice Crystal Palace alongside the old man.
Since he chose to come to Snow Lotus Valley, he had already researched the five Golden Core Stage cultivators here.
Based on Zhou Chun’s findings, the elder currently hosting him was named Zhang Mengde, who had been in Snow Lotus Valley for over three hundred years, joining through the assessment and certification by other elders with his Golden Core Stage cultivation back then.
After introducing Zhou Chun into the palace, Zhang Mengde lightly clapped his hands, and the woman in a white dress, Zhang Xuening, who had led Zhou Chun, brought tea into the hall, presenting each man with aromatic tea.
Zhang Mengde then raised his tea, took a gentle sip, and smiled at Zhou Chun, saying, "This Snow Needle Immortal Tip is a specialty Spiritual Tea from our Snow Lotus Valley, rarely experienced outside here. Taoist Friend Zhang, you should give it a try."
"Oh, then I must definitely give it a try."
As Zhou Chun spoke, he immediately picked up the tea to examine it.
Inside the teacup, golden-yellow tea leaves as fine as silver needles settled at the bottom, coloring the tea a golden hue.
The so-called Snow Needle Immortal Tip turned out to be crafted from the stamens of snow lotuses.
After observing for a moment, Zhou Chun brought the tea to his lips and gently sipped. A refreshing floral fragrance instantly swept through his senses, filling his mouth with the sweet aroma of tea, quite similar to the Honey Flower Tea of the Zhou Family.
After consecutively drinking several sips till finishing the cup, he smiled, nodding in approval, and praised, "Truly excellent tea! Fragrant and pleasing, leaving a lingering taste, indeed a distinctive flavor!"
Seeing him genuinely drink the tea, Zhang Mengde was somewhat surprised, then laughed heartily, saying, "Hahaha, glad Taoist Friend Zhang enjoys it."
