Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

Tianyuan Immortal City.

In terms of Tianyuan Immortal City, the foremost gathering place for cultivators in the Great Zhou Kingdom, the Nascent Soul Heavenly Phenomenon was not particularly rare.

Because of the rich Spiritual Energy environment here, coupled with the allure for high-ranking loose cultivators, this place would witness a Nascent Soul Heavenly Phenomenon every few years.

There had even been occurrences of the phenomenon happening twice in three years in the past.

Regardless, the emergence of a Nascent Soul Heavenly Phenomenon, even in Tianyuan Immortal City, was still a highly noticeable event.

Therefore, when the Nascent Soul Heavenly Phenomenon appeared above Luo Qingni's residence, many cultivators from within the city convened towards the location.

Only because Luo Qingni had already filed a request report, as soon as the Nascent Soul Heavenly Phenomenon appeared, law enforcement cultivators from Tianyuan Immortal City immediately arrived to guard her residence, preventing those who wanted to approach.

And as a well-known loose cultivation Alchemy Master in Tianyuan Immortal City, Luo Qingni's residence was no secret to the cultivators above the Purple Mansion Phase within the city.

Thus, the news of Luo Qingni's successful Core Formation quickly spread throughout the city.

Zhou Chun had also witnessed the entire process of the Nascent Soul Heavenly Phenomenon's emergence and dispersal from outside his own residence.

And after waiting for the phenomenon to dissipate and the law enforcement cultivators to leave, he, like many other cultivators, immediately sent Luo Qingni a Communication Talisman to convey his congratulations, while also leaving the information on the location of his own residence.

Afterward, he returned to his residence to wait patiently.

Generally speaking, after successful Core Formation, a cultivator would need to spend a year or two to consolidate their Cultivation Level before they would meet with visitors.

Zhou Chun had prepared himself for this wait.

He had now completely reached the minor boundary barrier of his Cultivation Level and was unable to further advance his Mana Cultivation Level through the consumption of elixirs such as the "Yellow Crystal Pill."

Therefore, he planned to settle down and refine his own Mana, starting with a slow assault to loosen the minor boundary barrier.

If the results were good, he might not need to consume an elixir to break through the barrier.

Elixirs were indeed good things, but if one could avoid taking them, it was still unnecessary to do so.

As Zhou Chun knew, those elixirs that helped to break through minor boundary barriers often had extremely domineering effects.

Using such elixirs to break through could, even if successful, damage the fundamental Essence Energy, requiring several years of recuperation before continuing cultivation.

And even for elixirs like the "Yellow Crystal Pill," which refined Mana Cultivation Level, excessive consumption could lead to uncontrolled Cultivation Level due to too rapid an increase in Mana.

Just like Zhou Chun currently felt with the control over his own Mana, clearly lacking the previous ease of handling.

This was a common issue among cultivators who used elixirs to advance their cultivation.

Fortunately, this was not difficult to resolve; one only needed to suspend taking the elixir for a while and diligently practice and refine their abilities.

Thus, in the following two years, Zhou Chun devoted himself to cultivating and refining his Mana while beginning to practice the "Golden Firmament Flash" Secret Technique.

The results of the cultivation were pleasing.

Through the refining of his own Mana and the occasional strike to the minor boundary barrier, Zhou Chun clearly felt the slight loosening of the barrier.

At this rate, perhaps he wouldn't need to consume any Barrier Breaking Spirit Pills, and could just continue to quietly cultivate for ten or eight years to naturally break through to the Middle Stage of the Purple Mansion.

Compared to his current lifespan of just under one hundred and forty years, ten or eight years were completely worth the wait.

On this day, as Zhou Chun was quietly cultivating in his residence, his expression suddenly changed, and with a wave of his hand, a streak of firelight flew into the residence and landed in front of him—it was a Communication Talisman.

Then, his Divine Sense touched the talisman, and immediately the crisp voice of Luo Qingni rang through his mind.

"Qingni has left seclusion. If Taoist Friend Zhang has some free time, you may come to my residence for a chat."

She had finally left seclusion?

A flash of joy appeared in Zhou Chun's eyes. He immediately got up to tidy up his appearance, double-checked the gift he had prepared, and then left his residence to visit Luo Qingni's residence.

Luo Qingni happened to be free today, and perhaps it was because she recently had free time that she sent the Communication Talisman to inform Zhou Chun.

As soon as Zhou Chun sent out the talisman, she quickly opened the restrictions on her residence and invited Zhou Chun in.

Upon entering "Qingni Residence," Zhou Chun saw Luo Qingni, who now possessed Golden Core Stage Cultivation Level.

Luo Qingni was now wearing a turquoise vestment robe with lotus flowers, interwoven with dense Spirit Patterns. Each lotus flower contained profound spiritual charm; it was apparent at a glance that it was no ordinary item.

This vestment robe, even if it was not a Dharma Treasure, was certainly on the rank of magic artifacts like the "Blackwater Profound Tortoise Shield," capable of withstanding attacks from ordinary Golden Core Stage cultivators.

It was just uncertain whether Luo Qingni had prepared this in advance or it was a congratulatory gift from other cultivators after her successful Core Formation.

Zhou Chun did not dare to stare, and after brief eye contact, he bowed with a smile and said, "Junior pays respects to Senior Luo. Congratulations to Senior Luo on achieving great success in Core Formation; the grand Dao is within sight!"

Hearing his words, Luo Qingni couldn't help but quickly step aside, then with a wry smile upon her face, she looked at him and said, "Taoist Friend Zhang, you are truly flattering Qingni. It is sufficient for us to regard each other as Taoist friends. I really cannot bear the title of 'Senior.'"

Although it was true that in the Cultivation World, hierarchy was determined based on Cultivation Level, if friends were on good terms and one of them advanced to a major boundary first, they usually would not insist on being called 'Senior' by the original friends.

Otherwise, it would indeed be difficult to maintain such a friendship.
