Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

Chapter 634: The "Honest Man" Luo Qingni



Tianyuan Immortal City.

Speaking of which, since retrieving the True Return Pill, Zhou Chun hadn't been here for many years.

Nowadays, when the Zhou Family sends goods this way, either Zhou Zhengyong or other Elders bring along a Fourth Order Magical Beast to accompany them, or Lin Hongyu personally escorts them, so there's no need for Zhou Chun to handle these matters anymore.

Therefore, unless he has something to do here himself, he usually doesn't need to busy himself with these small matters.

This time, after entering the city, he first went to Zhou Daoyi's abode as usual.

"Not bad, not bad, you've reached the Middle Stage of the Purple Mansion so quickly. It seems Ying'er hasn't been slacking off these years."

Outside Zhou Daoyi's abode, Zhou Chun beamed with satisfaction upon seeing his disciple Zhou Zhiying come out to greet him.

He could naturally tell that Zhou Zhiying was not only at the Middle Stage Purple Mansion in terms of cultivation but also seemed to have achieved this some years ago.

In contrast to her consistent cultivation speed, it's possible that within ten years, she could advance to the Purple Mansion Late Stage.

Faced with Zhou Chun's praise, Zhou Zhiying did not become complacent, instead, she replied humbly, "It's all thanks to Master for asking Senior Luo to refine those elixirs; otherwise, this disciple's cultivation wouldn't have progressed so quickly!"

"Oh, you've even learned humility? It seems you've indeed made quite a bit of progress over these years!"

Zhou Chun raised an eyebrow, looked at his disciple with some surprise, and spoke with a tone of delight.

While cultivating Zhou Zhiying, he undoubtedly had strong personal motives, but the care and affection he poured into her over the years were very real, without any pretense.

He absolutely considered Zhou Zhiying as his own disciple from the bottom of his heart, rather than a tool to implement certain plans.

So he was genuinely happy about Zhou Zhiying's growth, whether it was in terms of cultivation or in terms of character and disposition.

Upon hearing his words, Zhou Zhiying also expressed gratitude and deeply bowed, saying, "This disciple was young and reckless, causing a lot of trouble for Master, and bringing many inconveniences. It's all thanks to Master's tolerance and not holding it against me. Thinking back now, it truly makes this disciple feel incredibly ashamed and remorseful!"

Zhou Chun, upon hearing this, laughed heartily and said, "No need to dwell on the past. Who didn't have a rebellious youth? These are all parts of life's experiences, and reflecting on them later can be quite interesting!"

After speaking, he looked at his disciple with encouragement and anticipation, saying, "Ying'er, being able to recognize these things shows that you've truly grown. I wholeheartedly hope you can make full use of your Spirit Root Aptitude and advance further in your cultivation, surpassing your Master!"

"This disciple will definitely cultivate diligently and not disappoint Master!"

Zhou Zhiying nodded firmly, her tone resolute.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun revealed a comforting smile reminiscent of a proud father.

After entering the abode, he soon met with Zhou Daoyi and Lin Hongyu, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, and then handed over the Green Flood Dragon, Qingqing, who he brought over for a "visit", to Zhou Daoyi.

After spending some time in Zhou Daoyi's abode and discussing some events that happened within the Zhou Family over these years, Zhou Chun also handed over the remaining Fourth Order Middle-Grade Golden Tiger Puppet to him.

As for Lin Hongyu, whose cultivation level had reached the Golden Core Middle Stage, Zhou Chun gave her a High-Grade Magical Treasure Flying Sword he obtained from Master Qingwei.

Of course, in name, these treasures were still his possessions, just temporarily loaned to the two for use.

Otherwise, Lin Hongyu indeed wouldn't dare to accept such precious gifts.

Through the conversation with Zhou Daoyi, Zhou Chun also understood the reason behind Zhou Zhiying's transformation in character.

It was because, over these years, due to Lin Hongyu's arrival, Zhou Daoyi relaxed his control over Zhou Zhiying, allowing her to leave Tianyuan Immortal City to travel the Cultivation World, concealing her cultivation and engaging in adventure activities with other cultivators.

Of course, Zhou Daoyi and Lin Hongyu wouldn't truly dare to let her go out alone, so every time she went out, Lin Hongyu secretly followed to protect her.

This way, by traveling in the Cultivation World and experiencing the hardships of loose cultivators and those from small factions, and witnessing how people go to any lengths for certain treasures and the various schemes and intrigues, she naturally became less naive and simple than before.

For Zhou Daoyi's self-decided actions, Zhou Chun didn't express any blame.

After all, Zhou Zhiying was a member of the Zhou Family, and even if she carried a burden she wasn't aware of, in the eyes of Elders like Zhou Daoyi, she couldn't be raised as a canary because of it.

As long as her safety could be ensured, she should be allowed to undergo some trials and experiences.

Zhou Chun also firmly believed that Zhou Daoyi undoubtedly cared more about Zhou Zhiying's safety than he did.

After staying at Zhou Daoyi's abode for several days, Zhou Chun, having made arrangements in advance with Luo Qingni, personally went to pay a visit.

"It's been many years since we last met. It seems Taoist Friend Zhou's cultivation has progressed significantly; I assume the effects of the True Return Pill are satisfactory?"

In "Qingni Residence", Luo Qingni personally brewed a pot of Spiritual Tea for Zhou Chun, then smiled warmly as she brought up this old matter to break the ice.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun first sipped the tea and then replied with a smile, "The True Return Pill truly has remarkable effects. I owe it to Taoist Friend Luo for the help, without whom Zhou Mou wouldn't have acquired such a Spirit Pill."
