Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 533 - 279: Shocking News About the Pest Plague [Please Subscribe]

The north wind blows, chilling the autumn air.

Another autumn had quickly arrived.

This was Zhou Chun’s fortieth autumn since he had come to this world, and likewise, it was the Zhou Family’s fortieth year taking root in Jiufeng Ridge.

Indeed, before they knew it, the Zhou Family had already been in Jingguo Country for forty years.

Zhou Chun had also been in this world for forty years.

Forty years had passed, and Zhou Chun had changed a lot. The Zhou Family had also undergone significant changes.

During these forty years, many of the elders familiar to Zhou Chun had left the world for various reasons, and many juniors had grown up right before his eyes.

He had lost some elders but had gained even more juniors.

The latest census revealed that the Zhou Family’s native population had reached 247 people, a full hundred more than the number of Zhou Family members forty years ago.

At the same time, the Zhou Family’s account holdings in Spirit Coins alone amounted to over 97,000.

With people and wealth, the Zhou Family was now truly extravagant!

Of course, the changes that had occurred to Zhou Chun himself were even greater.

Over forty years, he, who had initially been only at the sixth level of the Qi Refinement Realm, was now at the intermediate stage of Foundation Establishment.

And he was only sixty-one this year, with a good chance of breaking through to the later stages of Foundation Establishment before the age of eighty.

If he were successful, opening his Purple Mansion before the age of a hundred might not be a difficult task for him.

So the person who really held promise for the future of the Zhou Family was actually him.

Autumn was the season of harvest.

In the Zhou Family Beast Garden, many pregnant female beasts had given birth during this season, ensuring their offspring had the capability to survive the winter before the snows came.

Zhou Chun also had people select various materials for exchange, preparing to trade with the Scale Frog Alien Clan led by Lu Ran at Dragon Abyss Marsh before the snows arrived.

Nowadays, with the Dragon Transformation Sect’s complete retreat back to their main hall, the tribes of the Scale Frog Alien Clan by Dragon Abyss Marsh had also entered a period of rapid development.

The trades with the Zhou Family had provided the Scale Frog Alien Clan, which had surrendered to Lu Ran, with a large amount of high-quality weapons. They had greatly benefited from this in conquering other tribes and procuring food, and their numbers were growing year by year.

And the many aquatic treasures the Zhou Family obtained from the Scale Frog Alien Clan had also brought immense benefits to the family.

The only downside was that Green Lotus Temple would select those precious items from the aquatic treasures, and the price was not high.

On the day when the materials for trade were ready, Zhou Chun personally took the goods and went to Dragon Abyss Marsh together with Zhou Daoquan.

The Silver Lightning Python Baibai could now handle the trip between the two places. With the current downstream, it only took one day for it to bring Zhou Chun to Dragon Abyss Marsh.

Since it wasn’t their first trade, the related procedures were completed quickly.

Once Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoquan arrived at Dragon Abyss Marsh, they quickly contacted Lu Ran, exchanged goods, and took the corresponding amount of aquatic treasures according to the approximate value of the materials.

In fact, within these trades, the truly valuable items were the ones that Lu Ran himself needed.

Spiritual Tea, Spiritual Wine, and Spirit Spice — all sorts of luxuries enjoyed by high-level Cultivators were on Lu Ran’s long-term order list.

He now indulged in pleasures even more so than a Golden Core Stage Cultivator.

In order to purchase some new varieties for him that had never been used before, the Zhou Family even asked others or sent people to Fengguo and Cheng Country to buy them.

But as far as the Zhou Family was concerned, they didn’t mind Lu Ran’s indulgences; what they would fear was if Lu Ran didn’t indulge.

If Lu Ran was solely focused on using this trade to strengthen the power of the Scale Frog Alien Clan, then the Zhou Family would have to think thrice and be cautious about engaging in such trades.

But now, no matter what kind of Spiritual Tea or Spiritual Wine Lu Ran wanted, the Zhou Family would do everything possible to procure it for him, as long as he could provide goods of equivalent value in exchange.

After the trade concluded, Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoquan, carrying the harvested aquatic treasures, returned upstream through the underground river and took two days to arrive back in Lanzhou.

Afterward, following the rules, Zhou Chun first took the treasures to Green Lotus Temple for selection.

The Taoist in charge of selecting the aquatic treasures at Green Lotus Temple was a Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator with extensive knowledge who had very strong appreciation skills for various aquatic treasures.

Many of the aquatic treasures which even Lu Ran and the Zhou Family did not know the names and uses of, he could identify and inform them, which allowed the Zhou Family to learn quite a bit of new knowledge in the process.

After allowing the Taoist from Green Lotus Temple to select the rare aquatic treasures as usual, Zhou Chun was about to leave with the remaining treasures and Spirit Coins to return to his family.

Unexpectedly, before he could leave the temple’s gates, he was called to a halt, told that Temple Master Qingwei summoned him.

Ever since suffering a great loss at the Ancestor of Su Family’s hands, Zhou Chun had been even more cautious with Golden Core Stage Cultivators.

Upon learning that it was Master Qingwei who summoned him, he hurriedly turned around to visit the Sect Leader Hall and pay his respects.

"Junior Zhou Zhengchun, pays his respects to the esteemed Temple Master," Zhou Chun bowed respectfully upon seeing Qingwei, the seated figure at the head of the hall.

Seeing this, Master Qingwei waved her dust whisk and said, "Little Friend Zhou, there is no need for such formality. I have called you here today because I heard you are right at our doorstep, and I happen to have a matter that I wish to consult with you about."

Hearing her words, Zhou Chun immediately gave a solemn bow, "Ancestor speaks too highly of me. What merit or ability do I have to be consulted by Ancestor? If there is anything you need my assistance with, just command me."
