Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Jiapeng\'s face immediately showed ecstatic joy, praising delightedly, "Good, good, good, I knew I didn\'t misjudge you, Zhengchun. You truly are a kind and righteous child, grateful and willing to repay favors!"

At this moment, Zhou Jiapeng was genuinely ecstatic.

He knew that compared to other family elders who had also approached Zhou Chun to borrow virtue points, he had only this slight advantage, while in other aspects, he was greatly disadvantaged.

For example, his cultivation had only recently broken through to the twelfth level of the Qi Refinement Realm, and he would need at least one more year of cultivation before he could consume the Spirit Ascension Fruit.

This alone gave Zhou Chun sufficient reason to exclude him when considering lending out the virtue points.

Not to mention that he was asking to borrow an entire thousand points of family virtue at once!

Under such circumstances, Zhou Chun was still willing to lend the full thousand points of virtue as he requested.

How could he not be overwhelmed with surprise and ecstasy?

In his elation, he promised on the spot, "Rest assured, Zhengchun, whether I succeed or fail after consuming the Spirit Ascension Fruit, I will repay you the one thousand points of family virtue as soon as possible. I will not let you suffer any loss!"

"Then let me wish you success in advance, Uncle Peng!"

Zhou Chun smiled and offered his blessings.

He then immediately wrote a letter of transfer for one thousand points of family virtue for Zhou Jiapeng to exchange for the Spirit Ascension Fruit.

After sending away a jubilant Zhou Jiapeng, Zhou Chun then invited Zhou Jiahe to his residence.

"When I first arrived and settled at Baozhi Peak, Aunt Fourteen took good care of me. I have always kept this kindness in my heart. Now that Aunt Fourteen has spoken, I naturally cannot refuse to lend these six hundred and fifty points of family virtue!"

In the room, Zhou Chun looked at Zhou Jiahe, who now had white hair, and could not help but be reminded of his arrival at Jiufeng Ridge twelve years ago.

At that time, he was only at the sixth level of the Qi Refinement Realm, having come to this world not long ago.

At that time, though Zhou Jiahe was already sixty-seven years old, she did not show her age as much as she did now.

In fact, given Zhou Jiahe\'s current age, it would supposedly be reasonable for her to attempt to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage with a Foundation Establishment Pill.

After all, there had been a precedent set by Zhou Jiarui, who succeeded in Foundation Establishment at over seventy years old.

However, attempting to break through to Foundation Establishment by consuming a Spirit Ascension Fruit was far less certain.

Most importantly, if she failed, her aged body would hardly withstand the backlash.

Zhou Chun felt that the reason the old woman dared to risk it might largely be because she had never married and had no concerns for the future.

Even if she failed, it would simply be returning to dust, to earth.

Upon hearing that Zhou Chun was willing to lend her the family virtue, Zhou Jiahe was extremely pleased, but she did not lose her composure like Zhou Jiapeng.

She simply looked at Zhou Chun kindly, nodding continuously, "Zhengyong\'s boy wasn\'t wrong; you really are a person who remembers old affections. I will remember your kindness today, young one."

She did not speak of repaying the favor like Zhou Jiapeng did, but Zhou Chun was not worried in the least that she would renege on her debt.

After all, they were all members of the same family, and there was a degree of trust among them.

So, after writing a letter of transfer for the family virtue points to Zhou Jiahe as well, Zhou Chun saw the family Elder off from his residence.

As for the remaining family Elders, he could only express regret that his abilities were limited and that he could not assist them.

This naturally led to some disappointment, and perhaps even some resentment, among those people.

But since he could not accommodate everyone, he had no choice but to let it be.

After Zhou Jiapeng and Zhou Jiahe had each exchanged for a Spirit Ascension Fruit, the last Spirit Ascension Fruit was also quickly taken by someone else.

As for whether these five Spirit Ascension Fruits could allow the Zhou family to gain new cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage, only time could tell.

In any case, for the family, this was a huge profit.

Not only did they redeem and cancel ten thousand points of family virtue by exchanging the Spirit Ascension Fruits, but they might also gain one or more Foundation Establishment cultivators.

And while the Zhou family was celebrating their acquisition of the five Spirit Ascension Fruits, another cultivation family in Lanzhou, the Zhang Family, was mourning a fallen Family Elder.

The Tiantai Mountain Zhang Family had a long legacy as an established cultivation family in Lanzhou.

The original Zhang family ancestor was just a Loose Cultivator, without even Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation.

However, he managed to father children with many wives, producing five offspring with Spiritual Roots, one of whom even had a top-grade Spirit Root Aptitude.

Later, with these three sons and two daughters, along with hundreds of mortal children, they laid the foundation for the Zhang Family of Tiantai Mountain.

Now, after seven or eight hundred years of lineage, the Zhang family boasts several hundred cultivator clan members and tens of thousands of Mundane Clansmen.

This time, the Zhang Family\'s second Elder, Zhang Yunjin, undertook a family mission to an underground auction in hopes of obtaining a Foundation Establishment Pill to increase their number of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

What no one in the Zhang family expected was that such a seemingly simple task would lead to the never-returning fall of Zhang Yunjin, a cultivator in the latter stages of Foundation Establishment, outside of the family\'s bounds.
