Cultivating Immortals in the Family: Rising from Beast Familiarity

Chapter 15 The Mu Family in Biyun Mountain

Lanzhou, Biyun Lake.

Biyun Lake is a famous lake in Lanzhou, Yasukuni. Its water is as green as jade and its scenery is picturesque. It is a place that many literati like to visit.

On the west bank of Biyun Lake, there is a stretch of mountains called Biyun Mountain.

There is an area in the mountains that is filled with mist all year round. Pedestrians who enter it by mistake often take several days to get out, and they often become seriously ill after coming out.

As time went by, no one dared to enter it easily.

And those mortals naturally don't know that the area covered by water mist in Biyun Mountain is where the gate of the Mu family, a cultivating family in Lanzhou, is located.

The Mu family in Biyun Mountain inherited the Qinglian Temple from the Jingguo sect. Their ancestors were the outer disciples of the Qinglian Temple. Many members of the clan in the past generations have successfully worshiped and practiced in the Qinglian Temple.

Today, the Mu family not only has three Foundation Establishment Stage monks, but there are also two Foundation Establishment Stage clansmen in Qinglian Temple, one of whom is a registered disciple of a certain Golden Core Stage monk in Qinglian Temple.

Therefore, in the entire Lanzhou, the Mu family is also a relatively famous immortal cultivating family.

But after all, the Mu family is just a new family with a history of only more than 300 years. Although it has good luck and has successively produced some foundation-building monks, in terms of accumulation of heritage, it is not as good as those old families that have produced high-level monks or have been passed down for thousands of years.

It can be said that the four major skills of cultivating immortals, including the Alchemy Talisman Array, are not difficult to pass on. With the Mu family's relationship with Qinglian Temple, it is not difficult to obtain some basic inheritance.

But in terms of beast control, even the Qinglian Temple doesn't have much inheritance.

Moreover, this method is not as good as the four methods of alchemy and talismans. You can easily try it with materials to gain experience.

So when the Zhou family came to their door and offered to help cultivate talents who were proficient in beast control in exchange for the friendship of the Mu family.

Several foundation-building monks from the Mu family only thought about it for less than half a day before agreeing to the matter.

After Zhou Chun accepted the mission five days ago, he spent another five days preparing on Baozhi Peak. Today, Zhou Daoquan, the third elder of the Zhou family, personally drove a crane to the Mu family in Biyun Mountain.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, this is the place of practice that our Mu family has arranged for you. If you have any instructions or needs in the future, you can explain to Ziying that she lives in that courtyard over there."

In the beautiful Biyun Mountain, outside a single-family courtyard, Zhou Chun and two Mu family monks were standing outside the courtyard gate, looking at the place where they would live for the next three years.

At this time, Zhou Daoquan, the third elder of the Zhou family, had already left. He had also met several foundation-building monks and some core members of the Mu family, and he had appeared in the Mu family.

The Mu family monk who introduced the situation to him at this time was none other than Mu Yunshan, a core member of the Mu family.

Next to Mu Yunshan, there was a beautiful girl wearing a purple dress. She was the "Zi Ying" in his mouth, and she was also one of the Mu family members who Zhou Chun wanted to teach the art of controlling beasts.

After looking at it for a while, Zhou Chun nodded lightly to Mu Yunshan and said, "Thank you, Taoist friend Mu, Zhou is very satisfied with this place."

When Mu Yunshan heard this, he couldn't help but smile slightly and said: "As long as Fellow Daoist Zhou is satisfied, then the two of you will not disturb Fellow Daoist Zhou's rest. Let's take our leave."

Then he left with Mu Ziying, the female cultivator from the Mu family.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately entered the courtyard, closed the door, then reached out and patted the spirit animal bag on his waist, and released the rock turtle sleeping inside.

"Shitou, this will be your new home from now on. Remember not to run away from the house, otherwise you will be tortured!"

Looking at the rock turtle who had just arrived in a strange place and was still timid and restrained, shrinking his head and not daring to show his whole head, Zhou Chun first gave him a stern warning.

He had no choice but to do this. When he was at Zhou's house, this guy once chewed up his courtyard door and ran outside to have fun.

This is not the Zhou family now. If this guy ran out and was discovered by the monks of the Mu family, he might be treated as a monster and killed.

Sure enough, when he heard the word "excruciating punishment", the rock turtle's head suddenly shrank and completely retracted into the turtle shell. It was obviously frightened.

Although it can eat and digest anything, it does not mean that it will not be harmed by certain special foods.

A small fruit called "Spicy Fruit", which is several times hotter than the hottest chili pepper in Zhou Chun's previous life, has become Zhou Chun's best tool to punish and scare rock turtles.

As long as the little thing eats a few "spicy fruits", it will be so spicy that it doesn't like to be near the pool, so it will directly dive into the water and take a big gulp of water.

So use this to warn it, try it every time.

In this way, Zhou Chun quickly settled down in the Mu family.

Compared to the Zhou family, he was actually much more free in the Mu family.

Except for giving classes to Mu Ziying and other five Mu family monks for two hours every day, the rest of the time is at his own disposal. He can even apply for a Mu family monk to accompany him to a mortal city not far away.

It's a pity that he can't enter the Mu family's library, otherwise it would be better.

And because he had a lot of free time, Zhou Chun simply used the extra time to practice spells after practicing every day.

There are many kinds of magic in the world of immortality, but most of them are inseparable from the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, earth and the three magics of wind, thunder and ice.

And depending on each person's level of cultivation, spiritual root attributes, skill attributes, and understanding, the speed of practicing spells is also very different.

Zhou Chun's cultivation in the middle stage of Qi refining is currently only suitable for practicing first-level low-level spells and first-level mid-level spells.

At the same time, because his spiritual root attributes are biased toward the three elements of metal, earth, and wood, when he practices metal spells, earth spells, and wood spells, it will be easier than practicing spells with other attributes, and the power of the spells will also be enhanced.

Now Zhou Chun has mastered twenty or thirty kinds of spells, but most of them are first-level low-grade spells with very weak power.

This time he came to the Mu family to teach as an assistant. The patriarch Zhou Mingde probably guessed that he would have a lot of free time, and gave him a copy of "First-Level Spell Cultivation Experience" before departure.

It contains more than a hundred methods for cultivating first-level spells, as well as the experiences and insights of senior monks on practicing these spells.

Now that Zhou Chun had some free time, he naturally did not let down the hard work of the clan leader Zhou Mingde. He immediately selected a few spells from above that were not weak in power and had excellent practical effects as training objects, and started practicing with concentration.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Chun stayed at the Mu family in Biyun Mountain for half a year.

On this day, Zhou Chun was practicing a first-level mid-level spell called "Wood Armor Technique" in the yard of his residence. Suddenly, the door of the courtyard was knocked and banged by someone from outside, and at the same time, the sound of the daughter of the Mu family was heard.

Xiu Mu Ziying’s anxious cry.

This shocked him, and he hurriedly stopped practicing, opened the door and let people in.

"It's not good, something serious has happened. Brother Zhou Dao, go and have a look. All the [Black Scale Horses] in the animal garden suddenly fell to the ground and were vomiting blood!"

As soon as the door opened, Mu Ziying grabbed Zhou Chun's arm tightly with a panicked look on her face and pulled him out.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun frowned slightly, but didn't say anything more. He just followed him and ran towards the Mu family's animal garden.

Compared with the Zhou family's wide variety of spiritual beasts, the Mu family's animal garden has very few spiritual beasts, only a few species.

The [Black Scale Horse] mentioned by Mu Ziying is the most important spiritual beast to the Mu family.

This [Black Scale Horse] is a walking spirit beast that was domesticated and improved from a first-order monster.

This beast has the body of a horse and the head of a donkey, but is larger than any good horse. It is one foot six feet long and more than seven feet tall. All four hooves are covered with black scales, making it look extremely tall and powerful.

[Black Scale Horse] has a ferocious and alert temperament. It can eat meat and grass. It can cross mountains and ridges, and can also wade across rivers. It can travel thousands of miles in a day and is avoided by jackals, tigers and leopards.

If you can cultivate it to the first level of high-grade, you will be able to awaken the talent of "wind control". When you run, your four hooves will carry the wind, and you can travel three thousand miles a day.

If a cultivator has such a spirit beast to travel around when going out, he can travel quickly without consuming his own mana, and it can even provide a considerable warning effect.

The Zhou family originally tamed twenty or thirty [Black Scale Colts], but when the Sanjue Sect split, those [Black Scale Colts] were all taken away by the Spirit Beast Villa. As a result, the Zhou family members now have to travel.

It is ironic to say that you have to rely on your own legs to travel.

At this time, as Mu Ziying arrived at the animal farm, Zhou Chun saw all eight of the Mu family's [Black Scale Horses] collapsed in the animal pen, their bodies twitching continuously, and they were vomiting blood and foam.

Several core members of the Mu family who came over after hearing the news, as well as the Mu family members responsible for taking care of these [Black Scale Colts], were all as anxious as ants on a hot pot, sweating profusely.

After seeing Mu Ziying bringing Zhou Chun, Mu Yunshan, a core member of the Mu family who had received Zhou Chun, quickly stepped forward and grabbed his shoulders and said: "You are here, Fellow Daoist Zhou. Your Zhou family is in the field of beast control."

Experts, do you know what disease these [Black Scale Horses] are suffering from?"

"Fellow Taoist Mu, don't be impatient. Let Zhou take a look first and then talk."

Zhou Chun said, pushing Mu Yunshan's arm away, and walked into the animal pen with a solemn expression to check.
