Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 1020 - 464: 3rd Order Golden Winged Tiger [Subscribe Requested]

In the ambush battle at the Lifeless Desert initially, although Zhou Chun only killed two Purple Mansion Phase Demon Cultivators from the Demon Element Realm at first, his Spirit Pets and Demon Insects were responsible for slaying numerous low and middle-tier Demon Cultivators.

Therefore, with his Shadow Recording Bead as evidence, the bounty calculated by the Reward and Merit Office for his battle merits was among the highest of all participants.

And counting the later killings of "Wind Demon" Mu Fengyun and "Blood Fiend Young Master" Yan Wuji, his contributions ranked him first among all Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators involved!

Hence, once the Reward and Merit Office had confirmed his merits, the rewards they dispensed were indeed substantial.

Firstly, there were the Demonslaying Command Tokens, as Wei Yong had mentioned—four in total!

These items are extremely valuable; if Zhou Chun wished to exchange for Spiritual Objects to assist with opening his Purple Mansion, such as the Spirit Pills like Mysterious Heart Purple Return Pill, one Demonslaying Command Token could easily be traded for one Spirit Pill.

Even Fourth Grade Talismans and Spirit Crystal, strategic resources of this nature, could be acquired in exchange.

Therefore, the reward of four Demonslaying Command Tokens was satisfactory to Zhou Chun.

Next was the additional reward for the killing of the "Blood Fiend Young Master" Yan Wuji.

At Zhou Chun’s own request, his additional reward for killing Yan Wuji was substituted with a one-time use Secret Treasure—the Sunburst Divine Radiance Talisman.

This Sunburst Divine Radiance Talisman, called a talisman, is actually more akin to the Thunder Bead in the way it’s crafted.

It was created by a Cultivator who practiced the Divine Skills of the "Sunburst Divine Radiance," sealing the power of this skill into a special Jade Talisman, thus allowing other Cultivators to wield this Divine Skill by activating the talisman.

And the Sunburst Divine Radiance Talisman Zhou Chun possessed was of exceptional quality; when used correctly, it could certainly inflict severe damage on a Golden Elixir Early Phase Cultivator.

With this treasure in hand, along with his already-owned Fourth Order Puppet and newly acquired Fourth Order Talismand and Talisman Treasure, even if Zhou Chun encountered another Golden Elixir Early Phase Demon Cultivator, he would have the ability to fight.

As for why he didn’t exchange for Nascent Soul Spirit Material, the reason is simple.

Currently possessing the Five Elements Spirit Fruit and the Yin Yang Integration Spirit Pill, it would be difficult to find other Spiritual Objects that could significantly aid in Core Formation without overlapping in effects with the two he had.

Moreover, exchanging for Nascent Soul Spirit Material would only make others covet his wealth, whereas possessing the Sunburst Divine Radiance Talisman would cause those who harbored designs against him to back off and hold him in awe.

Overall, Zhou Chun was quite satisfied with the rewards from the Heavenly Spirit Legion and personally expressed his gratitude to Wei Yong, who had contributed greatly to the process.

Subsequently, he safely stored these rewards and resumed dedicated cultivation in his cave residence.

This half-year of recuperation was an excellent opportunity; not only did Zhou Chun need to reconstitute the "Slaying God Sword" and diligently practice the Heart Lotus Scripture’s secret techniques, his Spirit Pets also needed to seize this chance to improve their strength, including the Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai, which needed to reabsorb the Power of Heavenly Thunder to store energy.

While Zhou Chun was dedicated to "healing" behind closed doors, even though many from the Demon Path were eager to claim his life, they could do nothing to him while he was secluded in meditation.

Of course, for the entire battlefield and the entire Primordial Demon Legion, a minor Zhou Chun didn’t even amount to a trivial worry.

Apart from those Demon Cultivators who had lost friends and family to Zhou Chun and sought vengeance, other Demon Cultivators were more focused on how to proceed with tomorrow’s war.

For the Demon Cultivator leadership, the key concerns were how to summon new reinforcements after the ambush destruction and how to withstand a full counterattack from the Heavenly Spirit Legion.

The battle at the Lifeless Desert resulted in considerable elite losses on the side of the Heavenly Spirit Legion, but they still reaped gains far surpassing their losses, nearly annihilating the enemy’s reinforcements from their homeland!

Without the addition of these fresh troops, the Primordial Demon Legion was fundamentally unable to match the Heavenly Spirit Legion in large-scale battles. freёnovelkiss.com

Thus, during this half-year period, the situation on the battlefield dramatically reversed.

The previously aggressive Primordial Demon Legion now became the defenders, relying on fortifications across various locations to resist the counterattacks of the Heavenly Spirit Legion.

And the forcefully counterattacking Heavenly Spirit Legion seized the opportunity to reclaim quite a bit of lost territory, boosting morale significantly.

Although Zhou Chun wasn’t part of the counterattack wars, he still kept up with military developments and received timely updates on relevant information.

From his level of attention, it was evident that, perhaps spurred by his ranking among the "Heavenly Seven Heroes," other well-known Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators showed remarkable activity in the warfare.

There were even cooperative hunts to bring down Demon Cultivators among the "Seven Calamities of the Primordial Demon."

And some rumors concerning him were spreading amongst the military ranks as well.

Though called rumors, they contained elements of truth and falsehood.

Some knew he was using injury as a pretext to lie low, so they spread rumors of him feigning injury to avoid battle, alleging that he was undeserving, unworthy of being one of the "Heavenly Seven Heroes."

There were even those who suggested he shouldn’t be called "Mr. Dragon Tamer" but "Turtle Young Master" instead!

Fortunately, these rumors ultimately remained unsubstantiated gossip.

Zhou Chun’s combat achievements were solidly recognized by both the Legion and the Alliance, and Cultivators are not as easily swayed as ordinary Mortals; hence, they are not readily fooled by such rumors.

Therefore, apart from some Cultivators who were purposefully assigned tasks or those who had past grudges with the Zhou Family, as well as a subset of Cultivators who were jealous of Zhou Chun and intentionally spread these rumors, most Cultivators did not take them seriously.
