Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

Chapter 710: Chapter 362: Heaven Blesses the Zhou Family, Hongyu’s Core Formation【Please Subscribe】_2

He exclaimed with great joy, “I’ll issue the order right away. All Zhou Family Cultivators, regardless of whether they are from our clan or are spouses and partners, will be rewarded with one hundred Spirit Coins each to celebrate!”

He had not felt so happy in a long time, even when Zhou Daoquan or Zhou Daoyi had opened the Purple Mansion, it had not made him this happy.

The success of Zhou Chun in opening his Purple Mansion truly let him see the hope of the Zhou Family reclaiming its former glory, unmatched by anyone else.

For this reason, taking out tens of thousands of Spirit Coins as reward money was nothing at all.

After all, this was akin to keeping the riches within the family; all those who benefited were the cultivators of the Zhou Family.

And Zhou Chun had no reason to stop Zhou Mingde’s decision.

After deciding not to raise money to purchase Spiritual Objects to assist with the opening of the Purple Mansion, it was not difficult for the Zhou Family to take out such a sum of Spirit Coins.

This was an event that would benefit all the clan’s cultivators, and it would also help him win people’s hearts and accumulate prestige, so he had no reason to oppose it.

Hence, when this news spread, the Zhou Family Cultivators, who were already elated about the family gaining another Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator, became even more joyous, shouting slogans like “The Clan Leader is wise” and “The Supreme Elder is wise”.

The entire Jiufeng Ridge of the Zhou Family was plunged into frenzy because of the successful opening of the Purple Mansion by Zhou Chun.

The news of Zhou Chun’s successful Purple Mansion opening quickly spread throughout the Cultivation World of Lanzhou and even to the Cultivation Families of nearby states.

Learning of this news, those Cultivation Families, while feeling a mix of envy, jealousy, and resentment, many spontaneously sent representatives to Jiufeng Ridge of the Zhou Family to congratulate them, without waiting for an invitation from the Zhou Family.

This was the influence of the Zhou Family now, every move they made could cause regional tremors!

Meanwhile, while Zhou Chun was busy receiving envoys from various families with their congratulations, in the distant Great Zhou Kingdom, a matter he had been concerned about finally came to fruition.

Great Zhou Kingdom, Xiandu Marketplace.

One day, in the cave dwelling rental area to the west of Xiandu Marketplace, a huge cloud suddenly gathered above a particular cave dwelling, forming a dark cloud covering dozens of acres, within which one could vaguely see flashes of lightning.

At the same time, an oppressive presence filled the surrounding area, forcing many cultivators who were meditating in nearby cave dwellings to stop their cultivation abruptly, with some even spitting blood from internal injuries.

Such a development naturally angered these people, who left their cave dwellings to find out which audacious individual dared to offend others in Xiandu Marketplace.

However, once these people exited their cave dwellings and saw the massive cloud, those who were knowledgeable immediately recognized its origin.

“Nascent Soul Heavenly Sign, someone inside the marketplace has successfully formed a Core!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the cultivators who had been full of anger had their expressions change, and their anger vanished instantly.

“It does indeed resemble the Nascent Soul Heavenly Sign described in the classics, but why choose to form the Core inside the marketplace”

“I heard that at that grand auction more than a decade ago, someone spent a huge sum to buy three Spiritual Objects in a set that assist in Core Formation. Could it be that the person who succeeded in forming the Core is that mysterious buyer”

“To form a Golden Core, ah! That’s the dream of so many cultivators, and yet today we witness someone else achieving it with our own eyes!”

“A Golden Core swallowed into the belly, from then on my life does not depend on heaven’s will, how I wish I could have such a day too!”

Surrounding the cave dwelling rented by Lin Hongyu, cultivators attracted by the Nascent Soul Heavenly Sign gathered around to discuss fervently, many speculating on the identity of the individual who achieved Core Formation, creating a lively scene.

But as these individuals were caught up in their discussions and sentiments, a majestic and powerful voice suddenly resonated overhead.

“This is an important area of the marketplace, causing a disturbance is forbidden!”

Then, with a flash of green light, a man wearing a green robe with a round face appeared outside the cave dwelling where the clouds were gathering.

Given that he dared to fly within the marketplace, the round-faced man was clearly one of the marketplace’s administrators.

The unfathomably deep cultivation on his person caused even some Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators to change their expressions, their eyes full of reverence and awe.

Upon seeing this person appear, Zhou Daoyi, who had been hiding in his cave abode and was overjoyed by Lin Hongyu’s successful Core Formation, immediately reined in his smile. He hurriedly flew out of the cave abode and performed a deep bow to the round-faced man, saying, “Junior Zhou Daoyi pays respects to Senior.”

“What is your relationship with the cultivator inside the cave abode who has formed their core? Why did they form their core here without reporting it in advance?”

The round-faced man looked at Zhou Daoyi with a darkenened expression, speaking in a somewhat stern tone.

This made Zhou Daoyi even more nervous. He quickly responded with respect, “Replying to Senior, the person within the cave abode forming their core is my Dao companion. As for why we did not report in advance, it was truly because my spouse and I were unaware of such a rule within the marketplace, and it was not our intention to conceal it. We hope that Senior can see the truth and be understanding!”

Hearing his reply, the round-faced man’s eyes flashed with surprise and he glanced at him a couple more times.

Then he said indifferently, “Since you were unaware of this beforehand, you can be given a lighter punishment. You two are fined ten thousand Spirit Coins.”

Having said that, he waved his sleeve and continued, “Pay the fine at the Xiandu Hall yourself. After the Dao friend inside your cave abode emerges, I shall pay you a visit.”

And just like he had appeared suddenly, his figure vanished just as abruptly.

Seeing this, Zhou Daoyi could only bow towards the sky and say, “Junior complies with the command and respectfully sees Senior off.”

After speaking, he glanced at the cultivators who had been attracted by the Nascent Soul Heavenly Sign and soon withdrew back into the cave abode.

Before long, the dark clouds that had accumulated over Xiandu Marketplace dispersed out of thin air, and the oppressive aura vanished as well.

But Zhou Daoyi was not yet able to see his Dao companion.

Since Lin Hongyu had just succeeded in Core Formation, she was unable to exit her seclusion and needed to cultivate quietly for a while to consolidate her cultivation level.

However, with her successful Core Formation, Zhou Daoyi’s duty as her protector had come to an end.

Knowing that the cave abode housed a newly advanced Golden Core Stage Cultivator in meditation, surely no careless cultivator would come to disturb her.

So, after communicating briefly with Lin Hongyu from a distance, Zhou Daoyi left the cave abode first, headed to the depths of the marketplace to pay the ten thousand Spirit Coins fine at Xiandu Hall, and also took care of the lease for another two years for their abode.

After handling all this, he left the Xiandu Marketplace where he had spent more than a decade and set off on the journey back to his clan.

Zhou Daoyi was in a hurry to return home, naturally, to share the good news first.

Although he had not been home for more than ten years, he knew that the Zhou Family members like Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun were definitely eagerly awaiting the good news.

Moreover, how to arrange for Lin Hongyu after her successful Core Formation would also be an important matter for the Zhou Family to consider.

It was necessary for Zhou Daoyi to return first and discuss with Zhou Mingde and others.

On his way back, Zhou Daoyi even took a slight detour to Yang Kingdom to share the good news of Lin Hongyu’s successful Core Formation with Lin Wan’er, and took Lin Wan’er with him to the Zhou Family.

Two months after Zhou Chun had returned to the Zhou Family, Zhou Daoyi also arrived at the Zhou Family Mountain at Jiufeng Ridge with Lin Wan’er.

After returning, Zhou Daoyi had not yet had the chance to share the good news of Lin Hongyu’s successful Core Formation with Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Chun before he first learned of the joyous news that Zhou Chun had successfully opened his Purple Mansion.

Upon hearing this news, he was overjoyed and ecstatic, even more so than when he had witnessed Lin Hongyu’s Core Formation. His joy was beyond measure.

In his heart, he had always regarded Zhou Chun as if he were his own descendent, and now that he knew Zhou Chun had caught up to his own cultivation level, how could he not be extremely happy and immensely gratified?

Compared to that, although Lin Hongyu was his Dao companion, the truth was that his feelings for this Dao companion were not as profound as those he had for his junior, Zhou Chun.

“This is truly a double blessing, a double blessing indeed!”

Upon seeing the returning Zhou Daoyi on Pagoda Peak and hearing from him about Lin Hongyu’s successful Core Formation, Zhou Mingde once again jubilantly exclaimed, “Heaven blesses the Zhou Family.”
