Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 2290 - 801: Dual Breakthroughs

Five more years later, Zhou Chun finally received a confirmed message from the Tai Geng Divine Venerable’s incarnation: the Yuanyang Venerable had successfully crafted a batch of Pure Yang Barrier-Breaking Pills.

Upon learning this, Zhou Chun did not delay and immediately set off to Yuanyang Observatory to meet Yuanyang Venerable and claim his own Spirit Pill.

It seemed that Tai Geng Divine Venerable had given prior notice, for Zhou Chun was able to meet Yuanyang Venerable without much difficulty after presenting his visiting card.

However, after receiving him, Yuanyang Venerable did not immediately hand over the Spirit Pill but scrutinized him with piercing eyes and said: "Taoist Friend Tai Geng seems to value Taoist Friend Zhou quite highly. Just as this Spirit Pill was freshly crafted, he has already reserved one for Little Friend Zhou. It seems that there is something exceptional in Taoist Friend Zhou that I’ve not yet discovered!"

Zhou Chun felt a chill in his heart, as a sense of unease swept over him.

He promptly said: "Senior Yuanyang, you overpraise me. It is my fortune to be valued by Senior Tai Geng."

He originally intended to say that Tai Geng Divine Venerable was keen on nurturing young talents but feared offending Yuanyang Venerable with such words, thus he responded cautiously, choosing his words carefully to avoid giving the other party any ground to find fault.

After hearing his response, Yuanyang Venerable looked deeply at him and said: "It seems Taoist Friend Zhou harbors a deep grudge against me. Is it because I had your Zhou Family leave their homeland?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun’s expression changed dramatically. He bowed his head hastily and replied: "Senior Yuanyang, you speak too heavily. How dare I harbor such disrespectful thoughts! The Zhou Family is flourishing in Yu Country now, with lands and resources incomparable to that in Jingguo Country. For all this, gratitude is due to both Senior Yuanyang and Senior Tai Geng!"

"Is that truly the case?"

Yuanyang Venerable chuckled, seemingly unconvinced.

Yet Zhou Chun immediately interjected without hesitation: "Every word is true, not a single falsehood!"

"Hehe..."

Yuanyang Venerable laughed again, shook his head, and said nothing more.

He then waved his hand, and an Alchemy Bottle appeared in front of Zhou Chun: "Here is your Pure Yang Barrier-Breaking Pill; you may verify it for yourself!"

Seeing this, Zhou Chun quickly accepted the Alchemy Bottle, bowed in thanks, and said: "Thank you, Senior Yuanyang, for the Elixir!"

After briefly inspecting the Elixirs inside, he put away the Alchemy Bottle, respectfully saying: "If Senior Yuanyang has no further instructions, I shall not disturb your serenity any longer."

"You may go, Taoist Friend Zhou."

Yuanyang Venerable waved him off.

Having withdrawn, Zhou Chun dared not linger any longer and departed directly from Yuanyang Observatory, heading straight for his family.

Throughout the journey, Zhou Chun remained on high alert, wary and cautious.

Yet, until he returned to the Zhou Family, nothing abnormal occurred, allowing him to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Upon his return to the family, the first thing he did was visit Changgeng Peak to see the incarnation of Tai Geng Divine Venerable.

"Senior Tai Geng, here is the Pure Yang Barrier-Breaking Pill I received from Senior Yuanyang. I must trouble you to appraise it." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

On Changgeng Peak, upon seeing Tai Geng Divine Venerable’s incarnation, Zhou Chun immediately presented the Spirit Pill, which was still fresh in his hands, for verification.

Despite his extensive knowledge, even Luo Qingni, an Alchemy Grandmaster, would not dare determine its authenticity without an Alchemy Recipe for reference.

Thus, he could only request that the experienced Tai Geng Divine Venerable assist in its appraisal.

As Tai Geng Divine Venerable’s incarnation looked at the Alchemy Bottle handed to him, he couldn’t help but shake his head: "You seem to still have some dissatisfaction with Taoist Friend Yuanyang. Why would he deceive you over such matters?"

Even so, he took the Alchemy Bottle and examined it carefully.

A moment later, he tossed the Alchemy Bottle back to Zhou Chun, saying calmly: "The Elixirs are fine; keep them well."

"Thank you, Senior Tai Geng!"

Zhou Chun thanked him and, feeling relieved, put the Alchemy Bottle away.

Although he had acquired the Pure Yang Barrier-Breaking Pill, he was in no rush to consume the Spirit Pill for the breakthrough.

Zhou Chun knew full well that even with his close relationship with Tai Geng Divine Venerable, obtaining a second Pure Yang Barrier-Breaking Pill was highly unlikely.

Therefore, he had to succeed in one go!

And to ensure his success, he had to master the "Void Manifestation Technique."

Hence, he continued to devote all his energy to comprehending the "Void Manifestation Technique" in the times that followed.

One day, while Zhou Chun was cultivating and meditating, he abruptly received a message that Luo Qingni was paying a visit, prompting him to quickly conclude his practice and head out to greet her.

"Haha, Qingni, you are indeed a rare guest. What brings you to my humble abode today?"

Outside the cave dwelling, Zhou Chun looked at Luo Qingni, who was already waiting, and promptly greeted her with a beaming smile.

Entering the cave and sitting down with him, Luo Qingni also smiled and said: "Taoist Friend Zhou, you are in seclusion and cultivation, and Qingni dares not disturb without cause. Indeed, today I have come for a purpose."

Hearing this, Zhou Chun couldn’t help but shake his head repeatedly and said: "Oh, oh, Qingni, you are too distant with such words. With our friendship, would I ever deny you entry as a guest?"

Then, with curiosity on his face, he looked at Luo Qingni and asked: "But Qingni, you mentioned you were here for a reason—what is it?"

"It’s nothing major, really. I just wanted to ask if Taoist Friend Zhou could allow Qingni to visit Xuanfeng Island one more time. Qingni wishes to see if I can leverage the opportunity with the Heavenly Fragrance Purple Sandalwood to attempt another breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage!"
