Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

```

Because the demand for money is so great, cultivators, after their Foundation Establishment, start to attempt cultivating one or two cultivation techniques, hoping to earn some extra income.

After all, raw materials are cheap, and they are not hard for cultivators at the Foundation Establishment to obtain.

If they can produce and sell the goods themselves, that's also quite good.

However, cultivation techniques also require talent and understanding, and they will take up a lot of the cultivator's time and energy, so not everyone can learn and excel at them.

But if one truly has talent, mastering any of the four skills of alchemy, weapon forging, talisman drawing, or formation setting to a high level indeed has the potential to earn ten times more than an average cultivator of the same stage.

Take the Li Family, a cultivation clan known for elixirs; a single alchemy master can earn an amount of Spirit Coins in one year that equals half of the entire family's income!

To call them human money-making machines is not an exaggeration at all.

"I have a Purification Stone Pot, and once I've successfully established my foundation and mastered the method of purifying the Evil Qi within spiritual objects, I can use it as a cover to try selling large quantities of purified spiritual medicines for profit!"

"Plus, with this treasure in hand, as long as my strength allows, I can go to the unclaimed wild lands abroad to hunt demons and gather medicines, staying in the wilderness for long periods without worrying about sustainability."

"And with the convenience of purifying Evil Qi easier than others, even if I cultivate the techniques of alchemy, weapon forging, talisman drawing, and formations, I will be able to practice with the lowest cost and obtain more materials to hone my skills."

"I also have the backing of my family; as long as I hold a high position within the Zhou Family, at critical moments, I can certainly utilize the family's savings to help me purchase important things!"

Zhou Chun calculated his ways of generating wealth and felt that he had quite an advantage over other cultivators.

In that case, it wasn't unreasonable to broaden the choices a bit.

After all, one must always have dreams!

Thinking of this, he once again immersed himself in studying the "Detailed Explanation of Foundation Establishment."

Five months later, with the help of the power of the Golden Sprout Pill, Zhou Chun finally managed to open the last three acupuncture points successively, fully opening all 108 points throughout his body.

At this point, his mana had reached the limit of what a Qi Refinement cultivator could achieve, unable to progress any further.

If he wanted to advance his mana, he could only succeed at Foundation Establishment.

This was when he completed his cultivation and went to meet the clan leader, Zhou Daoyi.

Zhou Daoyi asked him a few questions, and then on the spot, he took out two alchemy bottles containing Foundation Establishment Pills and handed them to him, "These two Foundation Establishment Pills are for you. You can proceed to seclude yourself and build your foundation without any concerns!"

"Yes, junior will not let Clan Leader down!"

Zhou Chun took a deep breath, and without any refusal, he accepted the two Foundation Establishment Pills into his Storage Pouch with a very solemn tone.

Then, under the personal escort of Zhou Daoyi, he entered the secret chamber on Pagoda Peak dedicated to the clan's members for Foundation Establishment.

The secret chamber for Foundation Establishment was exceptionally well placed, right on the main vein of the Jiufeng Ridge Spirit Vein, with extremely rich spiritual energy.

Moreover, the area was very quiet, and an independent isolation Formation was set up outside the secret chamber.

Once inside the secret chamber, as soon as the Formation was activated, no noise from outside, even from fighting between cultivators, could be heard within.

After entering the secret chamber, Zhou Chun closed the heavy stone door and locked it from the inside.

Then he took out a "Sun Glow Stone" and put it on the lamp holder inside the room, lighting up the roughly thirty to forty square meters of the stone chamber.

Inside the stone chamber, there was a desk and a bookshelf with some Foundation Establishment experiences left by predecessors.

There was also a Cold Jade Bed.

Cold Jade is a type of Spirit Jade; a bed made of it can help cultivators sitting in meditation to concentrate and calm their minds.

In the first half-month inside the secret chamber, Zhou Chun was only meditating daily to organize his own mana and read the Foundation Establishment experiences of the predecessors.

When he was hungry, he took a Fasting Pill, when he was thirsty, he would use magic to condense water, and when he was tired, he would rest on the Cold Jade Bed.

After half a month had passed this way, he felt his condition had been adjusted to the best state.

So, he sat cross-legged on the Cold Jade Bed, took out a Foundation Establishment Pill, and slowly dissolved it with his saliva.

The matter of Foundation Establishment is mysterious to speak of, but actually, it is just so.

Excluding some unexpected factors, the main obstacles preventing a cultivator from successfully establishing their foundation are threefold—Spirit Root Aptitude, the cultivator's will and determination, and the physical state.

The better the Spirit Root Aptitude, the easier it is to succeed at Foundation Establishment.

If one has a superior Spirit Root Aptitude, taking a Foundation Establishment Pill can give a success rate of more than fifty or sixty percent. Chapter Stay:

In comparison, those with a median Spirit Root Aptitude only have a success rate of thirty to forty percent after taking a Foundation Establishment Pill, which is very difficult to exceed fifty percent.

As for those with inferior Spirit Root Aptitude, the chances of success are even lower.

The reason is not complicated.

Because the purer the Spirit Root Aptitude of a cultivator, the fewer impurities in their body, and a significant function of the Foundation Establishment Pill is to help the cultivator purge these impurities.

It is said that above the superior Spirit Root Aptitude, there is a "Heavenly Spirit Root" aptitude, and cultivators with this aptitude can easily succeed at Foundation Establishment without the need for the pill!

However, such cultivators with Heavenly Spirit Root are so rare that even great sects like Green Lotus Temple might not see one in a hundred years.

The Zhou Family has lasted for more than seventeen hundred years and has never seen a cultivator with such a Spirit Root, showing just how rare it is!

Compared to the importance of Spirit Root Aptitude, the cultivator's will and determination have a smaller impact on the success of Foundation Establishment.
