Immortal Clan: I have a Tree of Creation

The impact of the snow disaster was enormous.

In just a few months, the grain depot was not depleted.

However, most of the farmland is currently empty, and it is conceivable that the entire northern region will soon face a food shortage.

Even scarcer than grain is meat.

Many people hadn't seen meat for months and were really going stir-crazy.

The blizzard has passed, so it's time to satisfy my cravings.

The restaurants in Anshan County are packed every day, with locals engaging in "revenge spending," and business is so good that they can't keep up with demand.

Zhou Chengnan has a long-standing partnership with Panyue Restaurant.

Although the black bear had ravaged some of the fish in the fishpond behind the house, there were still quite a few left.

They sold everything to Panyue Restaurant for almost three times the usual price!

The second manager, Pan Congjin, was very straightforward. Without even blinking, he handed over the payment of two hundred taels of silver ingots to Zhou Chengnan.

"Brother Zhou, you absolutely have to help me this time. You have to get me a few more wild game no matter what!"

"Of course, of course..."

The common people in the city wanted to eat meat, and so did the important figures in the Pan family.

The Pan family's reserves of "spirit beast meat" were already limited and had long been exhausted.

Forget about 'spirit beast meat' right now, just being able to eat meat is already a blessing.

Zhou Chengnan's hunting skills were outstanding among the hunters, so Pan Congjin naturally placed high hopes on him.

The countless desires that had been pent up due to the heavy snow that had locked the city in lockdown suddenly erupted.

This has become a great opportunity for many shops to make money.

Of course, this also gave Zhou Chengnan the opportunity to make "huge profits".

Right now, the price of any meat has tripled compared to normal.

If we could hunt down another mythical beast like the 'Alligator Dragon' that contains a trace of spiritual energy, the price we could sell it for would be far more than three or five times.

Based on Pan Congjin's hint, the price will probably be at least ten times higher!

Such exorbitant profits naturally gave Zhou Chengnan a great deal of motivation; who would complain about having too much money?

Admittedly, the Zhou family still had large gold ingots hidden away that they hadn't used.

But Zhou Chengnan's goal is to lead his family on the path to immortality and become a family of cultivators.

No amount of silver or gold can compare to the bottomless pit of cultivation.

For his own and his family's future, he had to seize the opportunity.

The shortage of meat lasts for anywhere from ten days to two or three months, which is enough for him to make a fortune.

The snow in Ansan melts more slowly.

More than half a month has passed, and there is still a lot of snow left.

Zhou Chengnan quickly found the cave in the mountains where he had cultivated.

The cultivation environment in Anshan is much better than at home.

Now, with the aid of the 'Snow Spirit Mushroom,' his cultivation speed has reached an unprecedented peak.

—It takes no more than five days to condense a strand of spiritual energy!

The first level of the "Qingyuan Qi Cultivation Technique" is the first level of Qi Refining, which requires one hundred strands of spiritual power to complete.

Zhou Chengnan has already cultivated more than a dozen strands of spiritual power. At this rate, he will be able to complete the cultivation in a few more months at most.

The phrase "wealth, companions, methods, and place" places wealth first, highlighting its crucial importance.

Anshan today is not as peaceful as it used to be.

First came the red serpent, then the alligator dragon.

Even the black bear king that contributed the "Snow Lingzhi" was most likely from Anshan.

I've always heard the elders say that there are evil spirits deep in Anshan, but the children always took it as a scary joke.

Only now that I've actually encountered it do I realize how terrifying Ansan is.

Zhou Chengnan had no doubt that there might be a real "monster" in the true heart of Anshan.

The blizzard blocked the mountains, freezing countless wild animals to death and leaving many other species without food.

The previously unseen alligator dragon and the unexpected appearance of the bear king in Jinyang Village are both isolated cases.

Although Zhou Chengnan's strength has greatly improved.

However, he still dared not let his guard down and only operated on the outskirts of Ansan.

There are indeed far fewer animals in the mountains. Even the wild rabbits that used to be the most abundant in the mountains are now hard to find. There are quite a few mountain rats, but those guys are very cunning, and it takes too much time to dig out their burrows.

Zhou Chengnan searched in the mountains for two days but only managed to hunt one roe deer.

A single roe deer only yields about twenty or thirty pounds of meat, far from meeting the needs of Panyue Restaurant.

It seems that we'll have to venture deep into the mountains to hunt enough prey.

With just one or two of these ferocious beasts weighing several hundred pounds, one can make a fortune.

After much deliberation, Zhou Chengnan decided to abandon his plan to enter the deep mountains.

Firstly, the risks of going into the mountains now are indeed too great.

Secondly... with the 'Snow Spirit Mushroom' in hand, he doesn't lack cultivation resources for the time being, so there's really no need for him to force his way into Anshan.

Ultimately, being a hunter is just a means of making a living.

Zhou Chengnan did not intend to be a hunter for life.

The Zhou family is now very wealthy, and they could live well even without the farmland and fishponds in the countryside.

Once the storm has passed, he plans to go to the county town to look for opportunities.

Perhaps by using the Pan family as a connection, we can settle down in the county town.

As the children grow up, the family will have more options in the future if they can move to the city.

Zhou Chengnan did not persist. After figuring out the key point, he gave up hunting in the mountains and devoted all his energy to cultivation.

The first level of the "Qingyuan Nourishing Qi Technique" was not complicated for him.

The essence of gathering spiritual energy and nourishing vital energy has long been etched into my heart.

What's lacking now is simply the accumulation of spiritual energy.

After the snowfall, Anshan is even more suitable for cultivation than before. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is noticeably denser.

It took less than three months.

Zhou Chengnan then cultivated more than thirty strands of spiritual power, bringing his total spiritual power to fifty!

On this day, in order to better control their own power.

He specifically searched for a hemlock tree in the mountains that was at least a hundred years old.

Hemlock is a very sturdy tree, often used to forge weapons. The main body of the Zhou family's long spear was made of hemlock.

Zhou Chengnan quickly cast a spell, chanting incantations.

A wisp of pale blue spiritual mist quietly gathered in his palm.

Although his spiritual power had not yet reached the required level, he had already pondered every detail of casting the spell hundreds of times.

The hemlock tree in front of me was much thicker than the waists of two or three strong men, making it perfect for testing magic.

Soon, the spell was completed.

A beam of azure light flew out from his palm, transforming into a stream of light.

Its speed surpasses that of any sword or hidden weapon.

The azure light struck the giant tree, passing through it instantly, and then flew dozens of feet before slowly dissipating.

"Click..."

A crisp snapping sound was heard.

Then a shocking gash appeared in the middle of the enormous hemlock tree, and it crashed to the ground.

"So powerful?" Zhou Chengnan's eyes widened, quite shocked.

This was the first time he had ever seen real immortal magic, and it was even created by himself.

Don't be fooled by the fact that it only broke a hemlock tree; it may seem insignificant.

In fact, if a farmer were to cut down such a huge hemlock tree, it would take him at least three to five days, let alone cut it in half.

Cutting down trees is hard work.

Just then, a clump of black grass fell to the ground.

A strange figure emerged from it; it was black, covered in scales, and had triangular eyes...

snake?

Zhou Chengnan's face darkened, and he turned and ran away.
