Chapter 139: Reforming the Family and Practicing the Secret Art of Taming Beasts [Three more chapters, please subscribe]

After returning from the cave of the supreme elder Zhou Mingde, Zhou Chun had another heart-to-heart talk with the clan leader Zhou Daoyi.

After the secret talk, clan leader Zhou Daoyi officially retreated behind the scenes and concentrated on his practice.

Zhou Chun then began to formally exercise the power of the clan leader as the deputy clan leader.

The first thing he did was three things. On the one hand, he ordered Lingshouzhai in the market town to place an order with Tianbao Pavilion for two magical instruments that could collect and contain gold energy.

On the other hand, he posted a task of collecting gold energy in the family, asking the family's Qi Refining cultivators to collect gold energy with the gourd magic tools they had used before.

Finally, he used his own connections with his family to purchase the two elixirs, the Pulse Protecting Pill and the Pulse Nourishing Pill, as well as the materials for refining the Golden Spirit Qi Regulating Powder from many sources.

After making arrangements for his own cultivation, Zhou Chun began to reform the administrative management of the Zhou family in all aspects.

He first invited several elders and clan leader Zhou Daoyi to Zhongping Hall, held a high-level elders meeting, and approved the plan to employ ordinary clan members to work in the mountains.

Then he asked someone to bring a group of ordinary tribesmen who he had secretly gathered and trained to the mountain.

After three population migrations, the Zhou family has now migrated nearly 50,000 ordinary people from Feng State, most of whom are young and middle-aged men and women.

Most of the ordinary members of the Zhou family who are still in Fengguo are old and weak. They cannot adapt to large-scale long-distance migration, and it is no longer possible for them to migrate on a large scale.

Therefore, from now on, unless they have the determination to travel thousands of miles to Jingguo to meet each other, the Zhou family will no longer be able to relocate mortals there.

With these 50,000 ordinary people as the basic base, within a hundred years, the Zhou family will be able to reproduce hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in Jingguo!
The group of mortals that Zhou Chun had people bring up the mountain were carefully selected from among the 50,000 ordinary people of the tribe.

There were seventy of them in total, most of them were energetic young men.

Zhou Chun left six of them on Pagoda Peak, and asked the four who were good at numbers and statistics to serve as scribes, specifically recording the affairs handled by him, the patriarch, on a daily basis.

Two burly men served as guards in front of the palace, and were specifically responsible for delivering messages.

The rest of the people, twelve mortals who were quite familiar with medicinal herbs, were sent to Baiyao Peak to help take care of the medicinal herbs on the mountain and do some odd jobs.

Thirty-six people were sent to the zoo, responsible for helping to feed the monsters and doing various chores.

Another sixteen people were sent to the remaining eight mountains to assist the peak masters in compiling various statistical data.

This is the preliminary arrangement for mortals to go up the mountain.

But Zhou Chun’s reforms to the Zhou family went beyond this.

In his envisioned plan, the Zhou family would set up multiple halls, each of which would correspond to a certain aspect of affairs, and the master of each peak would only become a symbol of honor.

However, to realize his plan, he not only needs to convince the leaders of each peak, but also needs to find suitable leaders and people to do things for each hall.

So he waited for all these mortals to be in their positions before doing a few other things.

The first is to let the head of each peak record the changes in the cultivation level of each family's cultivators and report it every month.

The second is to count the skills each monk is good at, what kind of spiritual pets they own, and the family missions they have performed.

On the other hand, he personally took time to call each member of the family to Zhongping Hall and asked them whether they were interested in certain matters and whether they had any plans to serve the family in some way.

Then Zhou Chun asked the clansmen to recommend independent cultivators who they believed were trustworthy, and registered the information of those independent cultivators and compiled them into a book as a backup.

Finally, Zhou Chun proposed setting up a list called the Family Contribution List.

The list will count and list the top ten members who have made the greatest contributions to the family each year and give them additional rewards.

At the same time, the five members who made the lowest contribution to the family each year will also be listed.

This list will be posted outside the Zhou family’s ancestral temple, and all family members can check it out at any time!
Because these measures and reforms did not touch the bottom line of the tribe members, at most they would just waste some of their time doing some statistical surveys, so they were all successfully implemented.

As for the family contribution list, since it had just been established and the first year's results had not yet been officially posted, it had not attracted much attention from the Zhou family.

In this way, when many Zhou family cultivators became busy because of Zhou Chun's orders, he went to Fei Shi Peak.

The master of Fei Shi Peak, Zhou Daoquan, is currently in seclusion trying to break through to the late stage of foundation building, and no news has been released.

Fortunately, the keeper of the library, [Qingmu Lingyuan], is still guarding this place diligently.

When Zhou Chun came over this time, he immediately reached out and patted the storage bag on his waist, and took out a few spiritual fruits and a jar of spiritual fruit wine.

Then he smiled at the green-haired giant ape, who was already salivating, and said, "Old Ape, these spiritual pears and this jar of fruit wine were all bought from the market by me. How do you like them?"

Hearing his words, the green-haired giant ape immediately shouted, "Oh oh!" "Good boy, it seems that you are not the deputy chief in vain, let me, the old ape, have a taste!"

Although it was spoken in ape language, Zhou Chun, who was quite familiar with ape language, understood its meaning.

He immediately dropped the thing into his hand, nodded and said, "Then Elder Yuan, you can enjoy it slowly. I will go upstairs to choose the secret technique first."

At the beginning, clan leader Zhou Daoyi promised Zhou Chun that after he established his foundation, all the Zhou family's skills and secret techniques would be available for him to choose and practice.

He came to the library today to select secret techniques.

Since he couldn't learn the "Golden Tripod Mysterious Art" for the time being and his cultivation couldn't be improved, Zhou Chun planned to use the original meditation time to practice a few more secret techniques.

Of course, with his current level of cultivation, he would definitely not practice the ordinary secret techniques on the second floor, but the secret techniques that are also very useful to cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

After Zhou Chun became the deputy clan leader, Zhou Daoyi taught him the techniques for unlocking restrictions in places like the library.

He has learned and mastered it these days.

At this time, he opened the forbidden door on the second floor of the library, and all the secret techniques collected therein appeared in his sight.

Looking at the bookshelf marked with the word "gongfa", Zhou Chun's eyes flashed with surprise and he immediately walked over.

This trip is certainly to select secret techniques, but it doesn't hurt to take a look at these techniques.

He picked up a book called "Stone Dragon Secret" and opened it to read. This book "Stone Dragon Secret" is a kind of book that can master powerful magical powers after practicing. As long as the first level of practice is successful, it will come with two powerful magical powers, "Spiritual Stone Dragon" and "Stone Dragon Battle Armor".

Judging from the description above alone, the power of these two magical powers is probably not inferior to the two magical powers that come with "Wanmu Zhengong".

In order to successfully practice "Stone Dragon Secret", one also needs the assistance of valuable spiritual materials such as "Wu Earth Yuan Stone" and "Earth Spirit Jade". There is no record of the danger of practicing it.

However, the speed of practicing "Stone Dragon Art" is very slow!

There are examples left by the Zhou family's senior cultivators above. Even if a cultivator with superior spiritual roots practices this technique, if he does not take any elixirs to improve his magic power, it will take him almost a hundred years to break through to the middle stage of foundation building!

According to this calculation, the time required to break through from the middle stage of foundation building to the late stage of foundation building will only be much longer!

Even if one could rely on the power of elixirs to cultivate this technique to the Purple Mansion Stage, with such a slow training speed, it would be hard to imagine how difficult it would be to further improve one's skills.

After all, the higher the level, the fewer elixirs suitable for high-level cultivators to take to improve their magic power.

When Zhou Chun was in the Qi Refining Stage, as long as he had spirit coins, he could buy elixirs to improve his magical powers.

However, elixirs that can improve the magical powers of cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage are in short supply and difficult to buy in ordinary market shops.

When Zhou Chun saw this, he couldn't help but shake his head and put it back.

Then he took out a martial arts book called "Ning Yuan Gong" from the lower level and opened it to read.

Compared with the previous "Stone Dragon Art", this "Ning Yuan Gong" is completely the opposite.

To practice "Ning Yuan Gong", no spiritual materials are needed, and any cultivator who has just successfully established a foundation can practice it.

However, after successfully practicing this technique, it will only bring with it a magical power called "Spirit Gathering Technique" which has no combat capability and can gather spiritual energy faster to accelerate practice.

Even if a cultivator with middle-grade spiritual roots practices this technique, with the help of the "Spirit Gathering Technique", he can reach the middle stage of foundation building within fifty years without taking any elixirs to improve his cultivation and magic power.

Even going from the middle stage of foundation building to the late stage of foundation building would not take eighty years, and there would be very few bottlenecks in between.

In other words, under ideal circumstances, if a cultivator with a mid-level spiritual root aptitude successfully establishes his foundation at the age of sixty, and chooses to practice this "Ning Yuan Gong", then he will most likely be able to cultivate to the late stage of foundation building before the age of two hundred, and have a chance to impact the Purple Mansion.

It looks good!

But in fact, unless you are the descendant of a high-level cultivator, you don’t have to go out to fight others and can practice inside the mountain gate.

Otherwise, you will always have to go out and fight with other cultivators and monsters.

However, if it is a casual cultivator who has just established his foundation and does not even have a second-level magic weapon, after practicing this "Ningyuan Gong", I am afraid that he can only bully the next-level monsters, and he will have to run for his life if he encounters a second-level monster.

If he is a family cultivator, even if he has a second-level magic weapon distributed by the family, he can only fight against those weak second-level monsters. If he encounters a stronger second-level monster, he will still be unable to defeat it.

And if you encounter an enemy who is a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage who also has a second-level magic weapon in his hand, and the martial arts he practices also come with powerful offensive abilities, then it would be difficult for you to even escape!

Just like the Foundation Establishment cultivator Shen Han that Zhou Chun had fought against before, it seemed as if the opponent did not use any powerful magical powers to attack him from beginning to end, but only relied on magic weapons and spells.

Most likely, he is a foundation-building cultivator who wants to cultivate faster and has practiced a technique similar to "Ningyuan Gong".

Of course, exercises like "Ningyuan Gong" that extremely pursue speed of cultivation do not occupy the absolute mainstream.

Although many second-category techniques also pursue the speed of cultivation, they often also take into account the aspects of defending the way and protecting the body.

Just like the exercises practiced by several foundation-building cultivators of the Zhou family, the speed of practice is about 70% of the effect of "Ningyuan Gong". At the same time, the accompanying magical powers are mostly self-defense and escape techniques, which can greatly enhance the ability to save lives when encountering danger.

In short, after reading the introduction of these techniques, Zhou Chun was more grateful for his decision to practice the top-level techniques, and his determination became stronger.

He quickly left the martial arts area and arrived at the area where the secret techniques were stored.

The Zhou family has collected quite a few secret arts suitable for cultivation by cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, but the conditions for practicing many of these secret arts are quite harsh.

Zhou Chun is already overwhelmed just by practicing the "Golden Tripod Mysterious Art" and has no energy to practice those overly complicated secret techniques.

So his purpose this time was very clear, which was to practice the secret art of taming beasts that was passed down by the Zhou family.

Speaking of which, although the Zhou family is a family of beast tamers, except that most of the clan members tame monsters and spiritual pets, and know some skills of taming spiritual beasts, it seems that they have never revealed any powerful secret techniques of taming beasts.

It gives people a feeling that the name does not live up to the reality.

In fact, those are all illusions!
Since the Zhou family has inherited the art of taming beasts as a family skill, they must have their own secret art of taming beasts to go with it.

Not to mention the contract technique "Soul Controlling Blood Array" that Zhou Chun had used before, the Zhou family's truly powerful beast-taming secret techniques actually require foundation-building cultivation to practice, and many of them have requirements on the strength of the monster beasts and pets.

It was like the secret beast-taming technique that Zhou Daoyi had used at the beginning, which could stimulate the dragon blood in the Sky Blue Cloud Python's body, allowing it to transform into a dragon and kill everyone in its way!

Zhou Chun came to the library this time mainly for this kind of secret technique.

He searched on the bookshelf and soon found the jade slip that recorded this secret technique.

"Ancestor Resurrection" can be used on some monsters that contain the blood of top-level monsters. It can stimulate the blood of ancestors in their bodies, allowing them to temporarily enter the ancestral state and master some of the magical powers of their ancestors in that state.

The monster that receives the spell must have a minimum cultivation level of the second level, must have a contractual relationship with the spellcaster, and must not resist the spellcaster's power.

At the same time, the concentration of ancestral blood in the body must also reach a certain level. The higher the blood concentration, the stronger the strength enhanced by the operation.

That’s right, the secret technique that Zhou Daoyi used at the beginning was not a secret technique specifically used against the Jiaolong clan as Zhou Chun originally thought, but a secret technique that was useful to many types of monsters with powerful potential.

However, although every Zhou family foundation-building cultivator can practice this secret technique, there are not many Zhou family cultivators who have demon beasts or spirit pets that meet the requirements for practicing this technique, so not everyone can practice it.

In addition to the beast taming secret technique "Ancestor Resurrection", Zhou Chun also chose another beast taming secret technique "Beast Spirit Battle Armor" for himself.

"Beast Spirit Battle Armor" can stimulate the monster's own magic power after being used on the monster, and condense a powerful defensive spiritual armor to protect the monster. The strength of the defense depends on the monster's cultivation level and the master's cultivation level.

In fact, the Zhou family has many other secret techniques for taming beasts, but Zhou Chun knows that he can't bite off more than he bites off. After mastering these two, it won't be too late to practice other secret techniques.
