Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 2281 - 799: 1,000 Years Old
Zhou Chun did not know what Tai Geng Divine Venerable and Changchun Venerable discussed after he and his servant left.
In short, after the Deer Monarch had a hearty meal in the Hundred Woods Forest, the blue-clad woman escorted him out of Changchun Valley.
At this time, the only one accompanying him was the incarnation of Tai Geng Divine Venerable.
"Take what the Elder Changchun instructed seriously."
"However, this matter is too vague. Do not let your true self be hindered in spiritual cultivation because of it. You can let your incarnation explore and search with the spirit pet."
On the way back to Yu Country, the incarnation of Tai Geng Divine Venerable repeatedly emphasized the matter entrusted by Changchun Venerable to Zhou Chun.
The significance of the Acquired Spirit Root is immense, and even though he trusted Zhou Chun to not spread it, he didn’t disclose the details, only emphasizing its importance through his attitude.
Upon hearing the advice and reminders, Zhou Chun naturally replied repeatedly, "I understand, I will certainly do my utmost to accomplish this matter well."
Thus, the two flew all the way and soon returned to Kunwu Mountain.
Once back at his cave residence, Zhou Chun began dividing the treasures.
During this trip, although he hadn’t engaged in any battles, he nonetheless harvested a substantial bounty.
The three spiritual medicines acquired from Changchun Venerable were perfectly suited for him and his spirit pets.
The [Golden Light Grass], with an age over seven thousand years, could be used to refine mana even without alchemy, making it exceptionally suitable for Zhou Chun, who relied on consuming Demon King Grand Pill to advance his cultivation level.
The [Thunder Pulp Fruit] was extraordinary, greatly compatible with the Silver Dragon Monarch, and consuming it directly equated to a hundred years of cultivation.
Similarly, the [Yellow Dragon Ginseng] had potent medicinal power, highly harmonious with the Fushan Monarch, and consuming it raw could enhance cultivation.
After distributing the treasures, Zhou Chun instructed the other spirit pets to continue their cultivation, keeping only the Deer Monarch behind.
"Previously in Changchun Valley, Mu Sang, you hesitated to speak. Why was that?"
In the cave, Zhou Chun regarded the beloved pet he kept back, his expression slightly solemn.
Hearing his words, the Deer Monarch replied respectfully, "Master, be enlightened. The unique spiritual aura mentioned by Elder Changchun Venerable, Mu Sang, and you have both encountered before—it is the spiritual root revived by the Zhongxuan Demon King!"
"What? Are you certain!!"
Zhou Chun’s face changed, looking shocked at his pet, exclaiming in disbelief.
"No mistake, Mu Sang is certain!"
The Deer Monarch nodded, his tone unyieldingly confident.
Seeing this assurance, Zhou Chun’s shock swiftly turned into delight, clapping and praising joyfully, "Good, good! This truly comes effortlessly, an unexpected fortune!"
He felt an impatient urge to immediately inform Changchun Venerable of the news.
But soon remembered something and regained his composure.
"No, things obtained too easily are not cherished. If I don’t go through decades or centuries of search, how can my sacrifices be shown?"
"Moreover, I have not yet reached the Late Nascent Soul Stage. If I offer the treasure now, what if I am treated dismissively like Yuanyang Venerable did, what then?"
He murmured to himself, as the glow of joy slowly receded in his eyes.
It’s not wrong for him to overthink; such a significant matter bears no allowance for negligence.
Furthermore, the best part about it is that the Zhongxuan Demon King can’t leave Misty Immortal Mountain, his power is immense, thus capable of safeguarding the spiritual root.
He need not worry excessively about someone discovering the spiritual root before him.
Moreover, from Changchun Venerable’s words, it seems that such a unique spiritual aura is difficult to perceive without spirit monsters like Wood Charm, highly attuned to spirit wood. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Thus, even if someone discovers the revived spiritual root, they might not necessarily realize its extraordinary nature.
After contemplating at length, Zhou Chun issued a seal directive to the Deer Monarch, prohibiting disclosure of this matter to anyone.
Then he dispatched the Deer Monarch to absorb the gains from Changchun Valley, while he began refining that [Golden Light Grass].
This [Golden Light Grass] is itself extremely rare and scarce, with few ever reaching a millennial age.
The [Golden Light Grass] brought from Changchun Valley, however, is over six thousand years old, and outside would tempt many Metal Attribute Nascent Soul Stage Sword Cultivators to spend fortunes for it.
Zhou Chun held it in his hand, slowly absorbing its spiritual essence to refine his mana.
Each passing day saw the golden aura on the spiritual herb diminish visibly.
After half a year, the [Golden Light Grass] in Zhou Chun’s hand lost all liveliness, turning into dust.
Meanwhile, having refined the entire [Golden Light Grass] spiritual essence, his mana became several degrees purer, dispelling the falseness brought by the Demon King Grand Pill advances.
Within decades more of diligent cultivation, he would touch the Nascent Soul Late Stage Barrier.
Time flies, swiftly seven years passed.
On this day, within the Zhou Family Mountain Gate, winds suddenly stirred, clouds surged, and joyous dragon chants echoed.
Above the Thunder Dragon Marsh within the mountain gate, a black flood dragon soared in the sky, ink-colored clouds swirling around, the dragon chant emanating from its mouth.
"It’s the Ink Flood Dragon, the Ink Jade Xuan Python of the young patriarch has successfully transformed into a Flood Dragon!"
Within the mountain gate, Zhou Family Cultivators who saw the scene immediately recognized its origin through the appearance of the black flood dragon.
Then, a golden sword light descended from Kunwu Peak, approaching the black flood dragon, revealing a handsome young man in white robes beside it.
