Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

Under his gaze, Liu Shiyun spoke without hesitation, "This is a minor matter. As it happens, my senior sister is currently cultivating in her cave abode. I will help Taoist Friend Zhou deliver the item to her, and she will certainly be willing to assist me with this favor."

"Then I must thank Taoist Friend Liu," Zhou Chun said, gratitude flashing across his face. He immediately handed over the skin of the Mutant Gold-Eating Rat King to Liu Shiyun.

Liu Shiyun did indeed quickly go to find her senior sister.

It took less than two hours before she returned to her residence. Smiling at Zhou Chun, who was waiting there, she said, "Third senior sister said that the materials are very good this time, but she needs to think carefully about how to make them. It might take two or three months before Taoist Friend Zhou can receive the vestment robe."

"Zhou understands. Once again, thank you for your assistance, Taoist Friend Liu."

Zhou Chun nodded and expressed his thanks once more.

After staying in the Green Frost Cave for two days, he left to head to Lingzhou, as Taoist Mingxia from Tianjing Villa had returned.

However, as soon as Zhou Chun saw her in Taoist Mingxia’s abode, his heart sank.

Her furrowed brow was not the look of someone who had successfully completed a task.

Indeed, before Zhou Chun could even perform a greeting and inquire about the situation, Taoist Mingxia shook her head and took the initiative to say, "I’m truly sorry. I have done my best, but the Jiang Family does not wish to resolve this through a life-and-death duel and has stated they will definitely pursue the matter to the end."

"Moreover, the other late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator that you, Taoist Friend Zhou, had killed, I also learned from the Jiang Family that he was no small figure either. He was from the Lingzhou-based loose cultivator organization, Tianjing Villa, and his master is a disciple under the Tianjing Hermit. I fear their trouble might be greater than that of the Jiang Family!"

What? The cultivator with the wolf mask had such a background?

Zhou Chun’s face showed shock, and a flicker of panic involuntarily appeared in his eyes.

The Tianjing Hermit was a renowned Golden Core Stage loose cultivator throughout the entire Jingguo Country, and furthermore, he was a late-stage Golden Core cultivator. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Such an existence was not someone the Zhou Family could afford to provoke.

And Zhou Chun had not forgotten that the loose cultivator organization of Lanzhou, "Qiyun Alliance," which was jointly defeated by the five major cultivation families, had been established by the Tianjing Hermit’s formal disciple, Tang Yuan.

If the master of the cultivator with the wolf mask were to trace the incident back to the Zhou Family, adding new enmity to old grievances, the Zhou Family would indeed be in grave danger!

"How could this be? How could this be?"

Zhou Chun murmured to himself, his composure slipping away.

The Jiang Family’s unwillingness to let go was not an issue, as the Zhou Family had the support of the Green Flood Dragon, Zhou Daoyi, and did not fear them.

But if Tianjing Villa were also to take action against the Zhou Family, even if the Tianjing Hermit, the Golden Core Stage cultivator, did not personally move against them, it would still be more than the Zhou Family could withstand.

If it came to that point, he would indeed become the sinner of the Zhou Family!

How could he not be panicked and distraught?

Just as Zhou Chun was thrown into a state of shock and uncertainty by the news revealed by Taoist Mingxia, she looked at him and spoke again.

"If Taoist Friend Zhou has no other method to resolve this calamity, I happen to have a way to help you and the Zhou Family safely get through this crisis, and even ensure that the Jiang Family and Tianjing Villa will not dare to pursue the matter further in the future."

She has a way?

Zhou Chun’s spirit was jolted, like a drowning man grasping at a lifeline. He bowed earnestly to Taoist Mingxia and said, "Please enlighten me, senior!"

Yet Taoist Mingxia waved her hand, "Taoist Friend Zhou, don’t be too quick to rejoice. Although my method can help you and the Zhou Family safely get through this crisis, it is extremely dangerous for Taoist Friend Zhou himself. You must think it through carefully before deciding whether to follow it or not!"

But even with her warning, Zhou Chun could hardly conceal the joy in his heart, and he quickly replied, "Yes, I am all ears to your teachings, senior, and I beg for your guidance."

"This matter involves a secret of our sect that is not to be disclosed. You’ve heard it today, Taoist Friend Zhou, but once you leave, you must not speak of it recklessly, lest you bring a disaster of annihilation upon yourself and the Zhou Family."

Taoist Mingxia first gave Zhou Chun a serious warning, then slowly revealed her method.
