Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

No wonder he reacted as such—the item in question was indeed exceedingly rare and precious.

Direct consumption of the "Soul Heart Fruit" could enhance a Cultivator\'s Divine Sense, and the lower the Cultivation Level at the time of consumption, the better the effect.

It was even said that some Spirit Pills to assist Cultivators in opening the Purple Mansion were incomplete without this fruit as an ingredient.

Hence, such a treasure would normally never circulate in the marketplace; its value simply could not be measured by a regular price.

After his initial shock had passed, Zhou Chun stared intently at the grey-clothed elder and asked, "Are your words true? Does this place really possess the Soul Heart Fruit?"

"Guaranteed genuine!"

With a smile on his face, the grey-clothed elder nodded affirmatively in response.

From Zhou Chun\'s reaction, he knew that Zhou Chun was interested.

Indeed, how many Qi Refinement Realm Cultivators could remain indifferent upon hearing the name "Soul Heart Fruit"?

If one could consume a "Soul Heart Fruit" during the Qi Refinement Realm, once Foundation Establishment was successful, the Divine Sense would immediately be 20 to 30 percent stronger than that of an ordinary Cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

With such benefits, how could any Qi Refinement Realm Cultivator remain unmoved?

Sure enough, Zhou Chun quickly declared with firm resolve, "Fine, if there really is a Soul Heart Fruit, then cooperating to acquire the treasure is not an issue."

Upon hearing this, the grey-clothed elder revealed an expression of "a teachable child" and chuckled lightly, "That\'s the spirit. With such Cultivation Level at a young age, if you manage to consume a Soul Heart Fruit before Foundation Establishment, your future prospects will be boundless!"

"Let\'s stick to the matter of the Soul Heart Fruit. Such a treasure must be guarded by an Exotic Beast. And given that you\'re willing to share such a treasure with another, I suppose the guardian beast must be extremely powerful!"

Zhou Chun waved his hand dismissively. He was not interested in the flattery and pressed directly for the main issue.

Hearing this, the grey-clothed elder could only muster his spirit and began to recount the matter of the "Soul Heart Fruit."

"If it\'s as you say, and the guardian of the Soul Heart Fruit is indeed an Exotic Beast like the Green-Faced Ghost Ape, then it\'s no wonder you\'re seeking assistance!"

Having listened to the grey-clothed elder\'s explanation, Zhou Chun nodded slightly, beginning to believe in the other\'s words.

Zhou Chun had heard of the Green-Faced Ghost Ape.

Although the beast was only a low-level Demon Beast, its strength was formidable, especially when it formed into groups, becoming even more powerful.

Their innate Spell, "Soul Wail," could shake a Cultivator\'s Divine Soul, making it difficult for those who battled them to keep their concentrate.

Particularly, when several Green-Faced Ghost Apes used "Soul Wail" together, it created a resonance amplification effect, greatly enhancing the power of the spell.

According to the grey-clothed elder, when confronted with the "Soul Wail" used by a dozen or so Green-Faced Ghost Apes together, he couldn\'t even produce a Magic Artifact. His Divine Sense was completely suppressed and disrupted.

In such a case, even Zhou Chun himself found it hard to believe that he could overcome those Green-Faced Ghost Apes with just two Spirit Pets.

After all, the "Soul Wail" Spell was also effective against Demon Beasts, just not as immediate and pronounced as it was against Human Cultivators.

Having understood the situation, Zhou Chun followed the grey-clothed elder to the outskirts of a certain forested area where he met another contender drawn by the elder, a red-faced old man with white-flecked hair.

After a round of discussion and mutual acquaintance, they each reported a false name.

Zhou Chun still went by the name Han Sanjue, changing his origins to Lingzhou of Jingguo Country.

The grey-clothed elder claimed the surname Fu, hailing from Cheng Country.

The red-faced old man stated his surname was Jiang, coming from Shen Country.

In this manner, the three of them represented cultivators from three different countries. Stay updated through m-v l|-NovelBin.net

After discussing the matter amongst themselves, the three, led by the grey-clothed elder, proceeded towards the location of the "Soul Heart Fruit."

After walking through the woods for several miles, they reached the entrance to a valley located at the foot of a mountain.

"Enshrouded in yin fog, permeated with an eerie gloom—truly a natural Profound Yin Land!"

From outside the valley, Zhou Chun looked at the gray fog drifting in front of the valley, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes.

Such natural Profound Yin Lands were extremely rare in the outside world.

If discovered by Cultivators who practiced yin-based Cultivation Techniques, they would likely pay any price to claim and convert it into a cave dwelling.

Upon hearing Zhou Chun\'s exclamation, the grey-clothed elder also showed a contemplative look and said, "Thankfully this place is not commonly inhabited by humans. Otherwise, if living souls were transformed here into Yin Ghosts, being wielded by the Green-Faced Ghost Apes, our quest for the Soul Heart Fruit would become exponentially more difficult!"

Hearing his words, Zhou Chun couldn\'t help but recall another passage from the Classics about the Green-Faced Ghost Apes.

The Green-Faced Ghost Ape, nemesis of ghostly beings, possessed the abilities to devour souls and control ghosts, also known as "Green-Faced Ghost Envoy."

Then he nodded in agreement, finding the grey-clothed elder\'s words to be extremely valid.

If it had been in the outside world, with its large human population, these Green-Faced Ghost Apes may well have killed for souls, capturing living souls to transform them into Yin Ghosts.

Then they would either devour the Yin Ghosts to enhance their own strength or command the Yin Ghosts as servants against enemies.

In that case, this group of Green-Faced Ghost Apes would be many times more difficult to deal with than they are now, and certainly not something a few Qi Refinement Realm Cultivators could handle.

Then, the three, having made their preparations at the entrance of the valley, stepped together into the mountain gorge.
