Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

The Rock Earth Turtle, oh, it should now be called the Golden Armor Rock Turtle.

Zhou Chun gave this new name to the evolved mutant Stony breed—Golden Armor Rock Turtle.

After mutating and evolving into the Golden Armor Rock Turtle, Stone’s strength had transformed drastically.

Its originally basic spell "Stone Skin Spell" had now merged with "Stone Armor Technique" and "Golden Armor Technique" to form a brand new second-tier talent spell, "Golden Stone Body," a special defensive spell that bolstered physical defense.

The previously mastered "Stone Wall Technique" had now merged with the metal element spell "Iron Wall Technique" to form a new second-tier talent spell, "Steel Rock Rampart," a defensive spell with immense strength.

At the same time, the previously mastered "Earth Prison Technique" had blended with "Gravity Technique" to form a new second-tier talent spell, "Gravity Prison," a spell with outstanding restraining capabilities.

Besides these three distinctive second-tier spells, the Golden Armor Rock Turtle had also awakened and mastered two more second-tier spells, one of earth and one of metal.

One was the second-tier Earth Element Technique "Earth Shield," a purely defensive earth element spell.

The other was the second-tier metal element spell "Sky-Splitting Golden Sword," a purely offensive metal element spell.

With these five unique second-tier spells, the Golden Armor Rock Turtle, even having just advanced, possessed the strength to rival the Silver Lightning Python. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

In a one-on-one battle, neither could do anything to the other.

The Golden Armor Rock Turtle, being well-rounded in offense and defense, coupled with its earth element spells and its significant resistance to lightning magic, was not much afraid of the Silver Lightning Python Baibai’s relentless bombardment.

And Baibai, the Silver Lightning Python, with its powerful mobility, was not something the Golden Armor Rock Turtle could easily keep in check.

However, in a fight to the death, it would mostly be Baibai, the Silver Lightning Python, who would lose.

Therefore, it could be said that after the Rock Earth Turtle evolved into the Golden Armor Rock Turtle, its position as Zhou Chun’s top Spirit Pet was once again solidified, reaffirming its status as Zhou Chun’s most powerful Spirit Pet under his command.

"Strong, Stone."

"This time, you really turned from a stone turtle to one hitting the big time!"

Within his own yard, Zhou Chun watched the Golden Armor Rock Turtle in front of him with a face full of surprise, equally stunned by the formidable strength it possessed after mutating and evolving.

Although he had always known that mutant Demon Beasts were extraordinarily powerful, ones with such a massive increase in strength like Stone were still rare to see.

At least Zhou Chun could assert that a normal Earth Spirit Turtle, which evolved from a Rock Earth Turtle, would definitely not be as strong as the Golden Armor Rock Turtle.

If he had such a Golden Armor Rock Turtle to assist him during his previous confrontation with the man in the wolf mask, he absolutely could have defeated, or even killed, his opponent with his own strength.

Unfortunately, despite the Golden Armor Rock Turtle’s formidable strength, it likely wouldn’t have a chance to display its power anytime soon.

Zhou Chun going to the Dragon Transformation Sect as an undercover with a Silver Lightning Python was already eye-catching enough.

If he also brought a Golden Armor Rock Turtle along, even a fool wouldn’t believe he had been a Loose Cultivator before!

Therefore, after bidding farewell and consoling the Golden Armor Rock Turtle, Zhou Chun left the Zhou Family again and let it stay at Pagoda Peak to cultivate on its own.

Shortly after returning to the Green Lotus Temple, Zhou Chun consumed the Purple Jade Soul Lotus that Taoist Mingxia had given him.

This so-called Purple Jade Soul Lotus was actually just a lotus seed.

The Green Lotus Temple had several Purple Jade Soul Lotus Spirit Plants, which bloomed and bore fruit once every five hundred years.

Just as Taoist Mingxia had said, even the Inner Sect Disciples of the Green Lotus Temple rarely had the opportunity to consume this seed.

Generally, only those particularly outstanding Inner Sect Disciples would be granted such a reward.

So, this time Zhou Chun really hit the jackpot.

After assimilating the Purple Jade Soul Lotus seed, he felt his Divine Sense had increased by more than ten percent, and the quality of his Divine Sense had also been refined and improved.

This effect of refining the Divine Soul and Divine Sense was something that the Soul Heart Fruit did not have.

Now when Zhou Chun went to meet Master Qingwei again, those spells that obscured his wits were no longer capable of truly veiling his consciousness.

He could completely appear to be hoodwinked, while actually staying vigilant, not revealing any true secrets.

According to Master Qingwei’s words, unless someone disregarded the damage to his Divine Soul and used a forceful secret technique like a Soul Searching Technique on him, or he encountered a Golden Core Stage Cultivator skilled in interrogation techniques,

he could now withstand the moral scrutiny of ordinary Golden Core Stage Cultivators.

Considering that the Dragon Transformation Sect also held the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique as a trump card that imposed restrictions on its Sect Members, it seemed likely that the Golden Elixir Elders of the sect wouldn’t pay too much attention to whether a new Cultivator coming to join had other motives and wouldn’t question too rigorously.

After passing the tests from the Green Lotus Temple, Zhou Chun quietly took the prepared items and proceeded towards Fengguo.

Fengguo, the homeland of this lifetime’s Zhou Family—which over generations, had been their country as well.

The country was still in chaos!

Sanjue Sect, where the Zhou Family was once situated, was forced to leave Fengguo because of a major reshuffle within the upper echelons of the country.

And Sanjue Sect had unfortunately picked the wrong side before the shuffle, facing the risk of being purged.

Now, more than twenty years later, although the upper echelon had settled down for a while, the middle and lower echelons continued to fight overtly and covertly for the vacant territories and resources.

This strife also made many Fengguo Individual Cultivators suffer; the people could hardly survive.

Therefore, quite a few Fengguo Individual Cultivators, unable to endure the oppressive environment, fled to other countries to seek a new livelihood.
