Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 667 - 343: Rumors, A Dilemma [Subscribe Please]

Zhou Daoquan was injured!

This was bad news Zhou Chun learned upon his return to the Zhou Family.

As the highest true cultivator stationed in Longxing Valley, Zhou Daoquan getting injured was no small matter.

Fortunately, he wasn't injured while defending Longxing Valley, but rather during an expedition.

Despite this, Zhou Chun went personally to visit him in Longxing Valley as soon as he heard the news.

"I was careless this time to fall for that beast's trick. Once I've recovered, I will surely join Uncle in taking it down!"

In the cave dwelling, Zhou Daoquan, who looked a bit pale, shared the details of his injury with the visiting Zhou Chun, his anger towards the Demon Beast that had injured him unabated.

It turned out that after things in Longxing Valley were on the right track, he would head out to explore the wasteland now and then.

Recently, he had found a Purple Moon Fruit Vine in the wasteland with over a dozen ripe-looking Purple Moon Fruits on it.

Guarding this vine was a third-grade mid-quality Demon Beast, the Four-Eared Fox Monkey, which was extremely crafty and clever.

Zhou Daoquan's presence had been detected by it early on, but the creature pretended otherwise.

Even as the Spirit Fruits were about to ripen, it let itself be lured away from the fruit tree by Zhou Daoquan so that his Spirit Pet, the Vermilion Flame Crane, could safely steal the fruits.

What Zhou Daoquan hadn't noticed was that the Four-Eared Fox Monkey had secretly bred a second-grade high-quality Demon Beast, the Shape-shifting Spirit Lizard.

The Shape-shifting Spirit Lizard blended in perfectly with the Purple Moon Fruit Vine, its body taking on the same color as the vine, and it had completely concealed its breath, making it undetectable even to a Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator like Zhou Daoquan.

When the Vermilion Flame Crane went to pick the Spirit Fruits with its basket, the Shape-shifting Spirit Lizard launched a surprise attack and nearly killed it on the spot.

Zhou Daoquan, who learned through their bond that his beloved pet was severely injured, rushed to its aid and was caught off guard and injured by the Four-Eared Fox Monkey.

In the end, if he hadn't activated a Talisman Treasure, which the Four-Eared Fox Monkey feared and didn't dare to attack further, he might not have been able to escape with his life.

Having learned the full story, Zhou Chun immediately offered his consolation, "Elder, don't be angry. It's just a beast. Once you've recovered, killing it won't be difficult!"

He then took the opportunity to recount the details of their trip to the Great Zhou Kingdom to keep Zhou Daoquan informed.

After he finished exchanging information with Zhou Daoquan and came out, Zhou Zhengyong suddenly pulled him aside to discuss matters regarding Longxing Valley.

It turned out that the mortal tribe Zhou Zhengyong had suggested taking in for protection had now grown to over ten thousand people, among whom three children with Spirit Root Aptitude had emerged.

Zhou Zhengyong wanted to bring all three children to Longxing Valley to nurture them, training them alongside the second batch of Zhou Family Death Warriors.

Although he had the authority to decide on this matter, given the special status of the three children, he thought it best to consult Zhou Chun, the Clan Leader.

"I have no objections to this, Brother Yong. Just go ahead and do it," Zhou Chun nodded in agreement, not opposed to the idea.

Then, as if he had just remembered something, he voiced his surprise, "However, finding three children with Spirit Root Aptitude among a thousand is quite a high probability, isn't it?"

"Thirteenth Brother, you misunderstand. The high probability is because two of the children are descendants of Xu Fu's subordinates!" Zhou Zhengyong explained with a smile, easing Zhou Chun's mind.

After they had decided on this matter, Zhou Chun looked around and then asked, "As for the new outpost, how goes your investigation, Brother Yong? Have you found a suitable location?"

Hearing his question, Zhou Zhengyong immediately replied, "We did find a few good places, but to be sure, we need an Array Master to inspect them first!"

"Hmm, I will bring Xindie over to have a look with you," Zhou Chun nodded and quickly made arrangements.

Helping Lin Hongyu purchase Nascent Soul Spirit Materials had drained the Zhou Family's savings, emptying even his personal reserves.

If he wanted to open his Purple Mansion without delay, he would have to accelerate the family's efforts to earn money.

Starting with the Wasteland Territory was undeniably the quickest way to see results.

"Once the new site is established, I will suggest to the family to start relocating some clan members here for development. Your responsibilities here, Brother Yong, will become more important, so you must be mentally prepared!" Zhou Chun looked at Zhou Zhengyong as he spoke, preemptively setting expectations.

Zhou Zhengyong nodded firmly in response, "Rest assured, Thirteenth Brother, I will manage this territory well for the family."

Afterwards, the two discussed personnel management and outpost construction details.

Time flew, and half a year quickly passed.

Zhou Daoyi had returned to the Great Zhou Kingdom to protect Lin Hongyu shortly after sending Zhou Chun back to the Zhou Family.

Zhou Mingde was very supportive of this move.

Having chosen to assist Lin Hongyu with her Core Formation, what the Zhou Family needed to do now was to build a good rapport.

While binding interests is important, care and affection are also indispensable.

If Lin Hongyu successfully formed her Golden Core and became a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, the benefits that the Zhou Family could offer her would no longer be very tempting.

To truly keep her willing to stay with the Zhou Family and protect it, they would have to rely on emotional bonds.
