Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

Chapter 724: Chapter 369: Another Foundation Establishment, Unforeseen Circumstances [Subscribe Please]

In the Wasteland Territory, at the Jade Mining Mountain Base.

Ever since Lin Hongyu, a Golden Core Stage cultivator, stationed himself at the Jade Mining Mountain Base, the Zhou Family Cultivators there felt utterly at ease, no longer worrying about the base’s security.

In the Cultivation World, Nascent Soul Stage cultivators were hermits who seldom left their quarters, and even on the rare occasions they did, few people would catch sight of them.

As a result, Golden Core Stage cultivators became the highest level cultivators ordinary cultivators could encounter.

During non-war periods, places protected by Golden Core Stage cultivators were fundamentally impenetrable.

One day, having been away from the Jade Mining Mountain Base for some time, the Death Warrior Commander Xu Fu suddenly returned.

Xu Fu, of course, did not come back alone; accompanying him to the Jade Mining Mountain Base were thirty-five Bandit Cultivators whom he and Zhou Zhengbo and Zhou Xinlan had captured.

These thirty-five Bandit Cultivators were the first batch sent to the Jade Mining Mountain Base, with a second and even third batch to follow.

The person responsible for escorting these Bandit Cultivators was none other than Zhou Chun, the Clan Leader of the Zhou Family.

Just as when Xu Fu and his group had first arrived at Longxing Valley, it was only upon entering the Jade Mining Valley Stronghold that the thirty-five Bandit Cultivators were allowed to open their eyes and see clearly where they were.

Before this, apart from knowing they had fallen victim to an enemy’s ruse and had been captured, they did not even know the identity of their captors.

Now awakened and seeing themselves among many unfamiliar cultivators in a strange place, some of the more hot-tempered and rash fellows immediately began to shout loudly.

“What’s going on? What’s this? Who are you people from? And where is this place?”

“Got a head big as a bowl, I’m not afraid to die if I dare do this kind of life-risking business, if you have the guts, just kill me! Stop playing these shameful little tricks on me!”

“Where is this? And where are you from?”

Shouts and calls rose from the crowd, with the Bandit Cultivators not realizing the severity of their situation.

But they soon did.

Because a thunderous roar of a tiger suddenly exploded beside their ears.

Roar!!

With a deafening roar, a massive Golden-Furred Giant Tiger with wings on its ribs suddenly appeared at the edge of the crowd, its wide-open jaw looming over the Bandit Cultivators.

The formidable presence that hit their faces instantly made these blood-stained Bandit Cultivators trepidate, quickly shutting their mouths, daring not to utter another sound.

It was then that Zhou Chun leaped atop the head of the Golden Winged Tiger and looked down on these terrified Bandit Cultivators, shouting, “Listen well, you scum and degenerates, from now on this will be the place where you atone for your past sins. Only by cleansing yourselves of your sins will you be allowed to return to the Cultivation World.”

After saying this, his tone turned grave, “Who was it just now who said they were tired of living? Step forward and let me have a look; my Spirit Pet hasn’t eaten meat today, you’ll serve as a nice appetizer!”

In the crowd, a roughly featured burly man involuntarily shivered and hurriedly lowered his head, terrified of being seen by Zhou Chun.

Having temporarily intimidated the group of Bandit Cultivators, Zhou Chun then signaled Xu Fu to come forward and explain the situation to the Bandit Cultivators, so they understood their position and what they needed to do next.

According to the plan, these Bandit Cultivators would be detained inside the base at first, not allowed to leave.

Once they began to behave and were willing to cooperate with work, they would have their Storage Pouches and wealth returned to them, so they might have the chance to go on expeditions in groups.

As for whether they might take advantage of an opportunity to escape, there was no need to worry.

The Jade Mining Mountain Base was remote and surrounded by numerous Demon Beasts. Even Xu Fu and those who had lived in the Wasteland Territory for decades did not dare guarantee an escape from the wilderness to reach Jingguo Country, let alone these Bandit Cultivators.

If they ran away, they’d either be eaten by Demon Beasts or find no escape and obediently return.

Just as Zhou Chun had expected, upon learning that they were now deep in the Wasteland Territory and unable to return to the Cultivation World, the Bandit Cultivators became agitated and showed their ferocity.

But as the Golden Winged Tiger’s menacing gaze swept over them, they quickly calmed down.

When they later learned that a Golden Core Stage cultivator guarded the stronghold, their spirits were utterly crushed.

Zhou Chun did not concern himself with their current thoughts. After ensuring no one dared to cause trouble, he left some words with Xu Fu along with a Foundation Establishment Spirit Fruit and then returned to his clan.

Upon returning to the clan, Zhou Chun received good news.

It turned out that Zhou Xintie, who had received a Foundation Establishment Pill from him, had successfully reached the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The Zhou Family had gained another Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, bringing their number of cultivators at this level to an impressive ten.

And with Zhou Xintie’s successful Foundation Establishment, it meant that the Zhou Family’s weakness in Artifact Refining had been filled.

With his skills in Artifact Refining before reaching Foundation Establishment, it was only a matter of time before he would be able to craft second-tier Magic Artifacts.

The Zhou Family now had notable figures in both Alchemy and Artifact Refining, as well as in Talisman Making and formation setting.

From then on, the clan need not purchase such items from outside; they could simply buy raw materials and have these Clan Members refine them.

This would not only save on purchasing costs but also help these Clan Members to improve their skills and income—a trifecta of benefits.
