Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

Lingzhou, Dongling Marketplace.

At that moment, with Zhou Chun producing the Spirit Spice of Fragrant Musk Deer.

Master Jiang's face changed instantly.

"It really is the Spirit Spice of Fragrant Musk Deer!"

He cried out in surprise and immediately took the jade bottle that Zhou Chun handed over for inspection.

Just by pouring out a little of the spice powder and giving it a taste, he nodded repeatedly and exclaimed, "Indeed, it is genuine Spirit Spice, with its original flavor!"

He then quickly capped the bottle to prevent the fragrance from dissipating.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun smiled and said, "Well? With this extra two liang of Spirit Spice, should that be enough to exchange for the Protection Pulse Pill in Master Jiang's hands?"

Upon hearing this, Master Jiang's eyes flashed with a different color, and he nodded continuously, replying, "Enough, enough. With these two liang of Fragrant Musk Deer's Spirit Spice and these Spiritual Medicines, it's sufficient to exchange for the Protection Pulse Pill."

After finishing, he looked earnestly at Zhou Chun and said, "However, since Taoist Friend Zhou can produce two liang of Spirit Spice, you must have even more, right? I wonder if you could exchange some more with me? I am willing to trade other precious Spirit Pills for it!"

Zhou Chun, upon hearing this, had his eyes move slightly and he said, "Oh? Does Master Jiang have any Nourishing Pulse Pills?"

Master Jiang, hearing this, knew immediately that Zhou Chun definitely had more Spirit Spice.

He quickly said, "I currently do not have any Nourishing Pulse Pills on hand, but if Taoist Friend Zhou is willing to exchange with Spirit Spice, I can seek other Alchemists to exchange for it on your behalf!"

"Then, let's wait for Master Jiang to obtain the item before we make the exchange," Zhou Chun said, nodding in agreement.

"Alright, it's decided then!"

"Here is the Protection Pulse Pill that Taoist Friend Zhou requested. Please examine it."

As Master Jiang spoke, he too took out an Alchemy Bottle from his Storage Pouch and handed it to Zhou Chun.

Zhou Chun took the Alchemy Bottle, opened the stopper and saw, inside, a green-brown Elixir about the size of a longan fruit.

The aroma of the Elixir and its appearance matched exactly with the records left by the previous generation Cultivators of the Zhou Family, confirming without doubt that it was genuine.

Therefore, he quickly capped the bottle again and nodded, "Correct, it is indeed a Protection Pulse Pill."

With both parties satisfied that the goods were as required, they exchanged and packed away the items they needed.

Then Master Jiang said, "It might take one or two months for me to exchange for the Nourishing Pulse Pill. How shall I find you Taoist Friends when the time comes?"

After hearing this, Zhou Chun pondered for a moment before resolutely responding, "Master Jiang, when the time comes, you need only to send a message to the Wang Family of Hongyao Valley, and they will naturally inform me."

Since he was asking for a favor from the Wang Family, he assumed Master Jiang wouldn't hold a grudge against the Wang Family if the information about the Protection Pulse Pill was leaked by them.

Master Jiang also perceived this point and nodded right away, "Alright, I understand Taoist Friend Zhou's intention."

After finishing, he smiled and said, "Today has been a joyous day. Please wait a moment, Taoist Friends. I'll brew a jug of my homemade medicinal wine for both of you."

He was about to get up and prepare tea.

But at that moment, Zhou Daoyi, who had been silent beside Zhou Chun, suddenly said, "Master Jiang, we graciously accept your kindness, but we shall not partake in the wine. We have urgent matters to attend to and must take our leave now."

Hearing this, Zhou Chun's mind stirred, and he quickly followed up, "Right, right, we'll pass on the wine. There's no need for such formality, Master Jiang. We've been out for quite some days, and I'm sure our families are getting worried, so it's better for us to return as soon as possible."

"Very well, if the Taoist Friends are in a hurry to return, I won't keep you any longer. Allow me to see you out," said Master Jiang as he stood up to accompany Zhou Chun and the others out of the apothecary shop.

After leaving the apothecary, Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoyi went straight out of the Marketplace and soon rode away on the Vermilion Flame Crane.

On their journey, they did not rest for even a moment, allowing the Vermillion Flame Crane to use up its Mana to speed along. When it was exhausted, they took turns flying it themselves, managing to return to Jiufeng Ridge in just under a day.

"Another second-order flying Demon Beast for transportation?"

Inside Dongling Marketplace, Master Jiang looked at the message Talisman in his hand, a contemplative look in his eyes.

Then he shook his head slightly, immediately got up, left the apothecary, and started to seek friends to exchange Nourishing Pulse Pills.

On the other hand, after a safe journey home, Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoyi breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Chun thanked Zhou Daoyi for accompanying him on the trip. Then they returned to their respective duties.

Now that he had the Protection Pulse Pill in hand, and there was a good chance of obtaining the Nourishing Pulse Pill, Zhou Chun was in a particularly good mood.

If all went well, there was no need for ten or eight years. In three to five years, he would be able to cultivate the Golden Cauldron Profound Technique.

Of course, since he had made a promise to the Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde and the Clan Leader Zhou Daoyi, he would still try to wait for Clan Leader Zhou Daoyi to break through to the later stages of Foundation Establishment before starting to learn a new cultivation technique.

Meanwhile, with his early preparations, some preliminary work regarding the reform of the Zhou Family had already been completed.

So he invited Clan Leader Zhou Daoyi and the four Elders of the Zhou Family to the Central Peace Hall to begin his performance.

In the Central Peace Hall, Zhou Daoyi and the Elders were seated, with four mortal Scribes positioned behind tables on both sides of the hall.

After one Scribe had checked several account books on the table before him, he said respectfully to Zhou Chun, who was seated on the floor, "Vice Clan Leader, I have triple-checked the relevant data and confirmed there are no errors."
