Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

```

The Wang Family has been cultivating Spiritual Medicine for the Green Lotus Temple for generations, and the family is famous for growing various kinds of Spiritual Medicine.

Therefore, many alchemists and powers proficient in the art of elixirs maintained good cooperative relationships with them.

Naturally, through this network of relationships, they easily came to know various news about elixirs and learned where certain elixirs would be put up for sale.

The news about the Protection Pulse Pill was obtained by the Wang Family from an alchemist.

It was said that the alchemist's master had been entrusted by a high-level cultivator to concoct a batch of Protection Pulse Pills and, according to alchemy rules, received one pill as payment for the alchemy service.

Although the Protection Pulse Pill was precious, its uses were not very widespread, in contrast, it is considered less useful than the Nourishing Pulse Pill.

Therefore, it was conceivable that the alchemist's master might be thinking of selling the Protection Pulse Pill in hand.

Of course, the Wang Family simply passed the news to the Zhou Family.

Whether Zhou Chun could buy the Protection Pulse Pill from the alchemy master or not, would depend on his own abilities.

The matter concerned Zhou Chun's major cultivation journey, and upon learning the news, he promptly explained the situation to the Clan Leader, Zhou Daoyi.

"This seat is aware of the matter. Let the Third Elder accompany you on the trip," Zhou Daoyi said with a slight nod after a moment's contemplation, making arrangements for Zhou Chun.

After completing the handover, Zhou Chun left Jiufeng Ridge with Zhou Daoquan, who had recently made a breakthrough to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Once outside the mountain gate, Zhou Daoquan slapped his Spirit Beast Pouch on his waist and released his rank two medium-grade Demon Beast, the Vermilion Flame Crane Spirit Pet.

Stepping onto the crane's back with one stride, he then beckoned to Zhou Chun, saying, "Come aboard. My Vermilion Flame Crane has more than enough strength to carry two."

"Then the junior shall not stand on ceremony with the Elder."

Zhou Chun bowed slightly and also stepped onto the crane's back.

Once both of them were steady, the Vermilion Flame Crane let out a cry and with a flap of its wings, soared into the sky, quickly ascending to a thousand zhang in the air.

By this time, Zhou Chun was already a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Even at such high altitudes, he and Zhou Daoquan merely needed to circulate their mana slightly to form a Power Shield and easily blocked the cold wind of high altitudes.

This mana consumption was extremely minimal for Foundation Establishment cultivators and could be sustained all day without losing many percent of their mana.

Their destination was not Lanzhou, but Lingzhou, a place Zhou Chun had not yet visited.

After taking to the air, Zhou Daoquan indicated the direction for the Vermilion Flame Crane to fly and let it make its own way.

He then looked at Zhou Chun and asked, "Speaking of which, now that you have succeeded in Foundation Establishment, what plans do you have for that Silver Lightning Python? When can it be promoted to rank two?"

"The junior is indeed worried about this matter!" Zhou Chun replied with a flash of concern on his face and spoke with a sense of helplessness, "The family's concocted [Beast Spirit Pills] are no longer effective for its growth. To accrue enough power for its breakthrough to rank two, it must consume higher-grade [Demon Spirit Pills]."

"But the Great Elder's concocted [Demon Spirit Pills] were all used up by the Clan Leader, and now there is no one in the family who can make the [Demon Spirit Pills]!"

The elixirs consumed by Demon Beasts were very different from those consumed by cultivators.

Most elixirs taken by cultivators to advance their cultivation levels were largely ineffective for Demon Beasts.

Thus, only those elixirs specifically concocted for Demon Beasts could accelerate their growth.

The Zhou Family's [Demon Spirit Pill], which was suitable for rank two Demon Beasts, was also a secret Spirit Pill of the family, only producible by highly skilled alchemists.

Currently, the Zhou Family's alchemists were unable to concoct such pills.

As a result, the family had the alchemy recipe and materials for making the pill but no pills themselves to use!

"Without the [Demon Spirit Pills], it would indeed be difficult to expedite its promotion," Zhou Daoquan furrowed his brow, equally without a solution to the problem.

He could only suggest, "If it comes to that, you could also buy more hundred-year-old Spirit Ginseng and other Spiritual Medicine for it to consume directly. The effect of these medicines on Demon Beasts is also quite good."

"The junior thinks so too." Zhou Chun nodded, agreeing with his suggestion.

The Vermilion Flame Crane's flight speed was not slower than that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but since it relied on physical strength and had to carry two Human Cultivators, it had to rest for half a day after flying for more than two hours.

Of course, if it used mana to fly, it could go for a much longer time.

However, Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoquan were not in a hurry, so they naturally didn't need to let it do so.

So, after roughly two days passed, the two of them arrived at the place where the Alchemy Master with the Protection Pulse Pill resided.

This Alchemy Master was a late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator who permanently settled in Lingzhou's Dongling Marketplace and had opened an elixir shop there.

After entering Dongling Marketplace, Zhou Chun and his companion didn't take much effort to find the shop run by the other party.

The shop wasn't very large, even smaller than the Spirit Beast Restaurant that the Zhou Family had opened in Hongya Marketplace.

Upon entering, they saw a middle-aged shopkeeper in the latter stage of Qi Refinement reading behind the counter.

Hearing the commotion, the shopkeeper quickly looked up at the new arrivals.

Realizing that the visitors were two Foundation Establishment Cultivators, the shopkeeper was startled and hurried to set down the book to greet them with a bow.

But Zhou Chun spoke first, "There's no need for formalities, fellow daoist. We have come specifically to visit Master Jiang. Please inform him of our presence."
