Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

"According to what my master said, those vice sect hierarchs are also beneficiaries of the compromise between the Flood Dragon Clan and the Dragon Transformation Sect."

"To avoid being controlled by the influence of the Flood Dragons, they will use a secret technique to transfer the foundation of the ’Dragon Transformation Secret Technique’ they cultivated before Nascent Soul Formation and switch it with a fourth-stage Flood Dragon from the clan that has no hope of reaching the fifth stage."

"If they can successfully form their Nascent Soul, they will then nourish the fifth layer of the ’Dragon Transformation Secret Technique’ with the dragon blood, inner core, and soul of that fourth-stage Flood Dragon!"

"It’s precisely for this reason that the Flood Dragon Clan strictly controls the number of Nascent Soul Stage cultivators in the Dragon Transformation Sect. They must first cultivate a fifth-stage Flood Dragon for the clan before allowing a Golden Core Stage cultivator of the sect to succeed at Nascent Soul Formation!"

"And any Flood Dragon in the Dragon Transformation Sect that successfully breaks through to the fifth stage will terminate its contract with the Sect Hierarch and the Vice Sect Hierarchs, either returning to the Flood Dragon Clan’s base or continuing to stay in the Dragon Transformation Sect to consume humans!"

After Lu Ran finished speaking, he saw that Zhou Chun was so shocked that his mouth was agape, his face filled with astonishment.

Zhou Chun had previously asked Taoist Mingxia how the Sect Hierarch and Vice Sect Hierarchs of the Dragon Transformation Sect got rid of the hidden danger of being controlled by the ’Dragon Transformation Secret Technique’.

But even Taoist Mingxia did not know anything about it at the time.

Now, Zhou Chun finally knew the answer.

So the answer was this!

This also seemed to explain why the Dragon Transformation Sect had completely submitted to the Flood Dragon Clan.

After all, submitting to the Flood Dragon Clan would allow them to access massive resources unavailable to other sects in Jingguo Country, rapidly strengthening the sect’s power.

Only the Flood Dragon Clan could provide so many fourth-stage Flood Dragons for their sect leaders and vice leaders to cultivate with.

If they did not pledge allegiance to the Flood Dragon Clan, they would face threats from other sects in Jingguo Country and be settled by the Flood Dragon Clan.

After all, the Flood Dragon Clan would not sit idly by and watch a declining Dragon Transformation Sect continue to enslave and kill Flood Dragons!

It’s just a pity for those cultivators of the Dragon Transformation Sect who perished in the jaws of Flood Dragons.

They had devoted their whole lives to contributing their strength to the sect, but when they grew old and weak, the sect heartlessly discarded them, using them as feed for the Flood Dragons!

"How about it? Can this secret information be traded for the elixirs you have?"

Lu Ran’s voice once again awakened Zhou Chun from his thoughts.

He looked at the ugly head across from him and replied immediately, "No problem, of course it can."

He then handed over the elixirs given to him by Taoist Mingxia to Lu Ran.

After Lu Ran took the elixirs, Zhou Chun continued, "Senior Lu, the information you provided this time is very valuable. This junior needs to go back immediately and explain to Senior Mingxia, so let us conclude our transaction here!"

"That’s fine, I also happen to want to try out the secret techniques in that jade slip."

Lu Ran nodded in agreement, his tone full of consent.

With that, Zhou Chun raised his hand towards the Profound Light Projection Mirror in the air, and the magic artifact was collected into his storage pouch.

At this point, he looked at Lu Ran and showed a wry smile, saying, "Please forgive me, Senior Lu. The secrets you revealed were too important, and Master Qingwei would not fully trust this junior’s word alone."

Hearing these words, Lu Ran couldn’t help but crack a smile, and then he looked at Zhou Chun with a meaningful gaze, saying, "Taoist Friend Zhou, is there anything else you would like to say?"

Zhou Chun knew he had been seen through and did not try to hide anything. He bowed to Lu Ran and said directly, "Senior has an eye for truth. This junior and my family are very interested in the Purple Mansion Spirit Matters and Foundation Establishment Spirit Items you mentioned to assist in opening the Purple Mansion, and we are willing to pay the price to exchange with you!"

"In addition, this junior would like to acquire from Senior the secret technique for transferring the ’Dragon Transformation Secret Technique’ foundation, as well as the spells for decoding the secret foil of the Dragon Transformation Sect."

As Lu Ran listened to Zhou Chun’s earlier words, he had the look of someone who expected as much.

But when Zhou Chun mentioned the latter part, Lu Ran’s expression turned serious, showing a hint of surprise as he looked at Zhou Chun.

He even repeatedly asked, "What do you want with the secret technique for transferring the foundation of the ’Dragon Transformation Secret Technique’? Could it be that you can also find a Flood Dragon to draw blood from?"

"And why do you want the spells for decoding the Dragon Transformation Sect’s secret foil? Surely you didn’t manage to get a secret foil that involves the core inheritance from the Dragon Transformation Sect, did you?" n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Zhou Chun dared not tell the whole truth.

He immediately responded, "There are cultivators in Jingguo Country who have tamed Flood Dragons as spirit pets. I figured that if I really cannot resolve the hidden dangers left by my cultivation of the ’Dragon Transformation Secret Technique,’ it would be better to transfer the foundation to another Flood Dragon. That would be much better than being controlled by the Dragon Transformation Sect all the time!"

"As for the Dragon Transformation Sect’s secret foil, my family indeed has one that was found on the remains of a cultivator from the sect over eight hundred years ago, and we have never been able to decipher it!"

His half-truth, half-false answer made Lu Ran narrow his eyes.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Ran nodded and said, "Fine, I can tell you the secret technique for transferring the foundation of the ’Dragon Transformation Secret Technique,’ but in exchange, you must bring the secret foil your family has and let me personally decipher it!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun was immediately elated and nodded in response, "No problem, I completely agree to these terms!"

Then he looked at Lu Ran and asked, "Could Senior please tell me how I might acquire the Spirit Matters that assist cultivators in opening the Purple Mansion and in Foundation Establishment?"

"For the Spirit Matters that assist in opening the Purple Mansion, I have a piece of Silver Star Soul Jade in my possession, and I also know the location of a Foundation Establishment Fruit Tree!"
