Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 1263 - 527: Treasure, Ambushed [Subscription Request]_2

Furthermore, there were often some low and middle tier cultivators adventuring here year-round. If the Zhou Family’s large company were to fly over from the sky, it would definitely attract a lot of attention.

Should they attract the local Foundation Establishment cultivators or Purple Mansion Phase cultivators at that time, the treasure site would no longer be a secret!

With the strength of the Zhou Family’s team, those scattered demon beasts and toxic insects lurking in "Wutou Ridge" naturally could not pose a threat to them.

After traversing the mountain forest for less than half a day, they arrived at their destination.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, large patches of dark green miasma filled the air above the forest, unmoved by the wind and undispelled by the sun.

In the depths of this dark green miasma stood several towering peaks hundreds of feet high, with bizarre, ear-piercing shrieks echoing from the mountains intermittently.

The group halted outside the miasma area, watching as Zhou Yuanlian stepped forward and stayed for a moment inside.

He then retreated back outside, lightly tapping his waist storage pouch to retrieve several talismans made from unidentifiable insect shells, handing them over to Zhou Xinlan and the others. "Wear these Poison-Repelling Talismans, and you should be able to ignore the miasma’s corrosion for three hours."

These were said to be talismans but were actually more accurately Talisman Instruments.

The "Tome of Thousand Poisons" records many methods of refining poison-repelling Magic Artifacts and Talisman Instruments. With Zhou Yuanlian’s current cultivation at the Foundation Establishment’s initial stage, he still found it difficult to refine those powerful Poison Cultivator artifacts. frёewebηovel.cѳm

However, he had already mastered the art of making some simpler Talisman Instruments.

The materials for these Talisman Instruments typically consist of insect shells, and sometimes Spirit Wood, beast skin, beast bones, and scale tokens are used. The fining process also requires mana derived from the "Tome of Thousand Poisons".

This could be considered Zhou Yuanlian’s unique craft.

At this moment, everyone did as Zhou Yuanlian instructed, hanging the Poison-Repelling Talismans on their chests before stepping into the miasma.

Immediately, an invisible force swept the miasma away by several feet from them, preventing it from touching their bodies.

With the protection of the Poison-Repelling Talismans, they no longer needed to expend mana to resist the miasma’s erosion, saving them considerable mana.

Yet, as they delved deeper into the miasma, they soon drew an attack from the inhabitants of this place.

Soon, a series of dull wing flapping sounds arose from deep within the miasma, and quickly, streams of black arrows pierced through the miasma, shooting towards the group.

However, Zhou Xinlan and Zhang Liang, the two Purple Mansion Phase cultivators, had already provided a warning in advance. These black arrows were either dodged by the group or blocked with spells and Magic Artifacts.

Soon after, the figures of their attackers appeared in the air.

Before them were plump black birds, resembling crows, yet their bodies were as round as balls, and their eyes were a deep, purplish black.

These were the Black Crowbirds, a type of demon bird whose very blood carried poison!

At this moment, there were about fifty Black Crowbirds attacking the Zhou Family Cultivator Teams, led by a Second Order low-grade Black Crowbird.

Ordinary First Order Black Crowbirds could only spit toxic liquid arrows, while some First Order superior-grade Black Crowbirds could perform the "Poison Rain Technique."

Individually, they were no match for a cultivator of the same tier.

Unfortunately, these demon birds seldom acted alone, always appearing in flocks.

When tens of First Order Black Crowbirds simultaneously spat toxic liquid arrows in an attack, even Foundation Establishment cultivators had to avoid them to prevent being poisoned.

Previously, Zhou Sihan had come alone and was chased all the way by three Second Order Black Crowbirds leading over a hundred First Order Black Crowbirds, managing to escape alive only by sacrificing a Third Order low-grade talisman!

But this time, those Black Crowbirds had truly hit an iron wall.

As they revealed themselves, Zhou Xinyan, Zhou Sihan, and six other Foundation Establishments cultivators immediately attacked in unison, various Magic Artifacts and spells shattered across the sky, and in the blink of an eye, they obliterated more than half of the flock.

Even the Second Order low-grade Black Crowbird had no time to flee, being slain mid-air by Zhou Xinyan, whose cultivation was now at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, with a "Jiamu Profound Light Sword."

"Nineteenth Brother’s ’Jiamu Profound Light’ Divine Skill is indeed extraordinary, truly worthy of being a top-tier cultivation technique’s accompanying divine ability!"

Seeing that the foes were vanquished without needing his intervention, Zhou Xinlan did not hesitate to lavish praise on Zhou Xinyan and the others.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xinyan, upon hearing these words, merely shook his head calmly, saying, "No matter how extraordinary, it is still a Foundation Establishment method. If Fourth Brother, as a Purple Mansion Phase cultivator, were to make a move, I probably couldn’t even withstand a single strike!"

These words instantly left Zhou Xinlan at a loss for a response.

He knew in his heart that Zhou Xinyan, born as the first Superior-Grade Spiritual Root talent cultivator of the Zhou Family after they established their foothold in Jiufeng Ridge, and being of the same generation, always held great pride.

After entering Foundation Establishment, however, due to a lack of support from direct elders and having arrogantly chosen the "Jiamu Profound Technique," a top-tier and challenging cultivation technique, his cultivation speed later lagged behind several of his elder cousins, including Zhou Xinlan.

Ultimately, Zhou Xinlan, with the assistance of his father Zhou Zhengyong, gained auxiliary items to open his Purple Mansion successfully ahead of his peers by a significant realm.

This was something Zhou Xinyan, so accustomed to pride, couldn’t accept!

As a result, those familiar with Zhou Xinyan found that in recent years he increased his solitary adventuring while decreasing interactions with fellow cultivators of the same generation, seemingly holding in a silent resolve.
