Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

After learning about the Mystical Crystal Stone Vein, Zhou Chun did not dare to make decisions on his own and promptly sought an audience with the two Supreme Elders.

Following a discussion among the three of them, they decided to have Zhou Daoyi accompany Zhou Chun on a personal visit to the Frontier Base.

The reason it was Zhou Daoyi was because Zhou Mingde's Spirit Pet, the Fire Divine Jackal, had ingested a third-grade mid-tier Demon Core and was now in a deep slumber, advancing in level, and hence it was not suitable to move it.

After Zhou Daoyi left the Zhou Family with Zhou Chun and Zhou Jiarui, they released the Green Flood Dragon Qingqing, which carried the two of them rapidly on their journey towards the Wasteland Territory outside of Yunzhou.

After more than two days of travel, the trio arrived at the Zhou Family's base.

At that time, the Purple Mansion Cultivator Li Qinghe from the Li Family had also arrived with several Foundation Establishment Cultivators, while the representatives from the You Family had not yet arrived.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Daoyi first turned to Li Qinghe and inquired, "Taoist Friend Li, what is Senior Li's opinion on this matter?"

In terms of seniority, Li Qinghe was several generations older than Zhou Daoyi, being dozens of years older even compared to Zhou Mingde.

However, the Li Family and Zhou Family were no longer as close as before. Using terms that acknowledged seniority would inadvertently weaken the Zhou Family's momentum.

Therefore, at this time, Zhou Daoyi could only refer to Li Qinghe using the common form of address among cultivators of the same level within the Cultivation World.

Li Qinghe, for his part, didn't mind this and responded in a low voice, "The old ancestor's stance on this matter is that bloodshed conflict must not happen again, and at the very least, we must preserve sixty percent of the interests!"

"Is it because the Moon Wheel Sect stands behind the Su Family?"

Zhou Daoyi narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice.

Li Qinghe nodded in response, affirming this.

The Su Family of Jiangzhou, with a legacy nearing a thousand years, was established by a Purple Mansion Cultivator from the Moon Wheel Sect.

This family was initially an internal Cultivation Family within the Moon Wheel Sect for a long time before becoming independent.

As the Su Family grew larger and larger, the Moon Wheel Sect forbade those family cultivators of lesser talent from remaining in the sect under the identity of Moon Wheel Sect disciples, prompting the Su Family to formally stand on their own.

After years of development, the Su Family now had a Golden Core Ancestor overseeing the family, thus becoming a Golden Core Great Family.

With such deep ties to the Moon Wheel Sect, the Su Family has always been a favored direct vassal family of the sect, and the Golden Core Ancestor of the Su Family also serves as a Guest Elder within the Moon Wheel Sect.

Given this, Li Jingxuan's reluctance to engage in bloody conflicts with the Su Family is understandable.

After all, even though a Mystical Crystal Stone Vein is precious, it is not worth it for the Li Family to offend a Golden Core Great Family with deep roots like the Su Family to death.

"In that case, it seems our two families share the same thoughts. Our Zhou Family also believes that under the current circumstances, it is absolutely necessary to avoid any fierce conflict with a family like the Su Family!"

Zhou Daoyi nodded slightly, expressing the Zhou Family's intentions.

Compared to the Li Family, which has a Golden Core Stage Cultivator in residence, the Zhou Family is undoubtedly weaker and even less willing to engage in conflict with a Golden Core Great Family with a deep background like the Su Family.

In fact, the Zhou Family currently does not lack the profit from a Mystical Crystal Stone Vein. Even if they were to completely forfeit the vein, it would be acceptable.

Before long, the Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator You Liming from the You Family also arrived at the base with his people.

After the leading figures of the three major families communicated, they reached a consensus. Without bloodshed, they would strive to secure their interests, preferably maintaining more than half of the benefits from the Mystical Crystal Stone Vein.

Once the viewpoint was unified, the three major families arranged for someone to visit the Su Family's base and invite their spokesperson for detailed discussions.

Since the Su Family was located too far from the family gate to the Frontier Base, they had directly arranged for a Purple Mansion Cultivator to be stationed at the Frontier Base. This was also the reason the Su Family had dared to directly seize control of the Mystical Crystal Stone Vein.

However, after people from both sides had died, the Purple Mansion Cultivator from the Su Family no longer dared to make decisions alone and had sent someone back to the family to report and seek guidance from the Golden Elixir Ancestor.

Due to the distance, he had not yet received a response from his family's old ancestor.

Therefore, upon receiving the invitation from the three major families, he adopted a delaying tactic, stating he would wait a few days before agreeing to meet.

Zhou Daoyi and others were well aware of this and waited at the Frontier Base.

During this waiting period, Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoyi, led by Zhou Jiarui, took the opportunity to inspect and familiarize themselves with the base.

The base's location was excellent, situated right in the middle of many rolling hills and peaks. The site of the base was the highest point in a two-hundred-li radius, on a mountain peak over eight hundred zhang tall and very majestic and extensive.

The Mountain Protection Array set up by the You Family for this base was not inferior to the Five Directions Mirlo Array, covering more than twenty li, including the main peak and several nearby peaks.

However, due to the lack of time, most of the area within the base remained undeveloped.

At present, there are just over a hundred Cultivators residing at the base regularly, ninety percent of whom are from the Li and You Families, with a few being Loose Cultivators who had boldly ventured into this area.

Jingguo Country had expanded its territory by a thousand li into the Wasteland Territory, and many Loose Cultivators also saw the opportunities within.

Those with less courage are still observing in Yunzhou, gathering and exchanging information.

Some bold Loose Cultivators had followed the major Cultivation Families as they set up bases, earning some Spirit Coins by helping with construction while competing to be the first to take advantage of the new territory.
