Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

"This is Longxing Valley, from now on, this will be the only place where you can rest and resupply in the Wasteland Territory."

In a valley overgrown with wild grass and bushes, dozens of Zhou Family Death Warriors and about ten Zhou Family Cultivators who had just arrived were curiously surveying the surroundings with wide eyes.

To be honest, without knowing the details, the valley did not make a very good first impression on them.

Its area of less than a hundred acres was simply too small.

Let alone accommodating five or six dozen cultivators, even just five or six would be a squeeze.

After all, cultivators are a group of people who value their privacy greatly, and aside from dual cultivators, it is rare for them to share living space with others under one roof.

This area of less than a hundred acres would barely accommodate individual courtyards for everyone if that were the intention.

So although no one said anything out loud, the frowns on the faces of many clearly indicated their dissatisfaction with the place.

This was especially true among the Zhou Family elders.

Despite being considered among the more enduring members of the Zhou Family, none of them had ever faced such hardship since embarking on the path of cultivation.

The thought of possibly spending the majority of their remaining days in such a place filled them with regret for having agreed to come here.

Zhou Chun, observing their expressions and sensing the mood, immediately spoke to soothe their hearts.

"The place is indeed a bit small, but its location is excellent, and it greatly reduces the likelihood of being discovered."

"Moreover, aside from you, there will be no outsiders coming here, so you don't need to worry about being disturbed during your daily cultivation practices."

"Of course, this is just the starting point. In the future, once you've completely mapped out the surrounding territory, the family will definitely select a larger area to establish a more expansive stronghold!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Zhou Daoquan immediately added, "Zhengchun is correct, you all should not only focus on the small size of this place but should also see its advantages. This valley is the spirit eye of the local Spirit Vein, and cultivating here will be much stronger than where you were before."

"Besides, we are here to achieve great deeds and establish ourselves, not to settle down and enjoy our retirement. Having a place to live and rest is already enough; why yearn for more?"

As the Supreme Elder of the family and one of the highest-ranking cultivators present, who would also be staying here permanently, Zhou Daoquan's words helped to balance the feelings of the Zhou Family elders, who then stopped displaying their displeasure.

As for Xu Fu and the other Zhou Family Death Warriors, they had already become accustomed to communal living back at Zhou Family Mountain, and since they knew they had no right to be picky, their attitude was quite calm.

After settling the mood, the group immediately got to work building the stronghold.

Currently, the Spirit Cleansing Formation in Longxing Valley, which was used to purify the Evil Qi, had not yet been constructed, so the priority was to establish this Array and create a space suitable for cultivation.

Since the Formation Arrangement Tools were ready to use, under the arrangement by Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Xindie, the Spirit Cleansing Formation was completed in less than three days.

Compared to the enormous Spirit Cleansing Formation at Jiufeng Ridge of the Zhou Family, this formation was much smaller.

It had only the most fundamental three "Sinking Evil Wells," conveniently positioned in a triangle on the peaks around the valley, connected to the Earth Vein below.

This meant that a mere nine people were needed to maintain the operation of this Spirit Cleansing Formation.

This was clearly a special arrangement made considering the limited manpower available in Longxing Valley.

Once the Spirit Cleansing Formation was successfully activated, Zhou Chun, along with Zhou Daoyi, took Zhou Xindie and left.

From then on, everything in Longxing Valley was to be managed by Zhou Daoquan and Zhou Zhengyong, with Zhou Zhengyong in particular responsible for overseeing Xu Fu and the others.

All relevant tasks and plans had been listed and handed over to them.

Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoyi would only need to come by every two months to collect their harvest and provide them with necessary supplies.

After Zhou Chun and the others departed, Zhou Zhengyong directed dozens of people to officially start constructing the Longxing Valley Stronghold.

He selected Xu Fu and a few other Family Death Warriors in the later stages of Qi Refinement to lead groups of four or five mid-stage Qi Refinement Cultivators to explore the surroundings and draft detailed maps.

He himself joined the Zhou Family elders, leading the remaining early-stage Qi Refinement Cultivators to engage in construction within the valley, building residences, storehouses, and other structures.

In just a short month, more than a dozen wooden and stone buildings and a number of independent courtyards had sprung up in the not-so-large valley.

Of course, the independent courtyards were for Zhou Daoquan and Zhou Zhengyong to live in, since with their higher Cultivation Levels and status, it was not feasible for them to cohabit with others.

The ten Zhou Family elders settled in the buildings along with Xu Fu and others.

Meanwhile, after more than a month of exploration, Xu Fu and his team had thoroughly surveyed the area within a hundred miles of Longxing Valley and drawn a highly detailed map.

Upon receiving the map and hearing the explanations from Xu Fu and his team, Zhou Zhengyong's face immediately revealed a look of surprise.

"No wonder Thirteenth Brother said that if Longxing Valley is well-developed, its annual income alone could support the Zhou Family in cultivating a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator; it seems his words were indeed no exaggeration at all!"
