Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

After speaking, he looked at the other party with an unusual glint in his eyes and asked, "I see that Taoist Friend Luo has vibrant vitality and a strong aura. Could it be that you have recently encountered some mysterious opportunity? Or have you mastered some powerful divine skills?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingni was slightly taken aback and then looked at him with a bit of surprise, nodded, and said, "You have sharp eyes, Taoist Friend Zhou. Qingni has already tried her best to hide it, but I didn't expect it to escape your Dharma Eye!"

Zhou Chun, however, smiled without speaking, offering no further explanation.

In truth, he could only vaguely sense the unusual aura around Luo Qingni through his own powerful divine sense. The one who truly discovered the change in Luo Qingni was the Wood Charm Mu Sang inside his Spirit Beast Pouch at his waist.

If he hadn't calmed it down in secret, this spirit pet would have already jumped out by now.

The fact that it could cause Mu Sang to be so agitated showed that Luo Qingni's opportunity must have been significant.

Sure enough, after a moment of contemplation, Luo Qingni chuckled softly at Zhou Chun and said, "Well, Taoist Friend Zhou, we are not outsiders. I will let you hear about this opportunity. You may just take it as an anecdote."

Afterward, she detailed her encounter.

It turned out that the unusual aura around her was related to refining a spiritual object.

Seven years ago, she attended an exchange meeting and managed to acquire a top-grade, wood-attribute spiritual object called the "Wood Essence Core" from a Golden Core Stage cultivator!

The "Wood Essence Core" was hidden within a piece of Fourth Order high-grade Spirit Wood, its aura completely merged with the wood. Even the other Golden Core Stage cultivators present did not discover it.

Luo Qingni, due to her special constitution and the profound cultivation technique she practiced, sensed something unusual and decisively exchanged for the spiritual object.

When she discovered the "Wood Essence Core" inside, she was overjoyed and went into seclusion for several years to refine it.

Although Luo Qingni did not say what benefits she gained from refining this object, from her deliberate attempt to conceal her aura changes and the genuine joy she displayed when recounting the event, it's likely the benefits were immense, far beyond just advancing her cultivation level and mana.

However, even though Zhou Chun was curious about this, he did not deliberately pry into others' privacy.

Although their relationship was good, even if they were husband and wife, some things were not always shared with each other, and prying would damage the relationship.

Understanding this, Zhou Chun also realized why Mu Sang was so agitated.

After all, the "Wood Essence Core" was equivalent to the demon core of a spirit monster, and the Wood Charm also had one.

If it could devour such a kindred object, the benefits would indeed be significant.

After listening to Luo Qingni's account, Zhou Chun sighed with genuine emotion, "I often go out adventuring and roaming, but my gains are often meager. Taoist Friend Luo, focusing on closed-door cultivation at home, occasionally attending one exchange meeting, manages to obtain such a treasure. It's truly enviable!"

Luo Qingni rolled her eyes at his words and said, "Taoist Friend Zhou, you are being modest. In terms of opportunities, who could compare to you? If Qingni had your capabilities, I wouldn't be sitting at home meditating. I would've been out traveling the world, exploring new places just like you!"

She was vaguely aware of Zhou Chun's abilities, as the things Zhou Chun often brought out to give her were not things ordinary people could obtain.

And she knew the background of the Zhou Family and was aware that those items couldn't possibly come from the Zhou Family's own heritage.

So she didn't believe even half of Zhou Chun's sigh of envy.

Zhou Chun gave an embarrassed smile at her words and did not attempt to argue.

Instead, he changed the subject and asked, "It's been years since we last met. Any news about the last two main ingredients of the Four Spirits Barrier-breaking Pill, Taoist Friend Luo?"

Hearing this, Luo Qingni nodded and said, "A few years ago, Qingni did hear from a Golden Core Stage cultivator of the Huangfu Family that a private medicine garden in one of their family's branches had a Turtle Essence Ganoderma that had matured."

After saying this, she couldn't help but shake her head, "Unfortunately, subsequent investigation revealed that this Turtle Essence Ganoderma is one of the auxiliary ingredients for the legendary Infant Transformation Pill, and the Huangfu Family would never exchange it with outsiders!"

"The Turtle Essence Ganoderma is actually an auxiliary ingredient for the Infant Transformation Pill? That's going to be a problem!"

Zhou Chun's face changed slightly, and his mood grew heavy.

The Infant Transformation Pill, a renowned spirit pill, is regarded as a godlike potion by countless Golden Core Stage cultivators in the Cultivation World, just having one in hand can increase the success rate of Nascent Soul Formation by twenty percent.

As such, any spiritual medicine that can be used to make the Infant Transformation Pill, even if it's just an auxiliary ingredient, is extremely valuable in the Cultivation World and will rarely be exchanged with others.

Usually, major factions prepare several auxiliary ingredients based on their own circumstances and then gather the relevant spirit medicines together for alchemy.

Those capable of gathering all the materials for the Infant Transformation Pill independently are few and far between. Only those great powers with thousands of years of unbroken heritage can possibly achieve this.

That the main ingredient for the Four Spirits Barrier-breaking Pill is also an auxiliary ingredient for the Infant Transformation Pill was something Zhou Chun never expected.

This made his quest to obtain such spiritual medicine significantly more challenging.

"It is indeed quite troublesome! It seems that just the two of us alone won't have much chance of making this Four Spirits Barrier-breaking Pill. We will need to involve a cultivator from a major faction who has the right connections!"
