Chapter 1165: Chapter 502: Returning Full Laden【Seeking Subscriptions】_3

At this pace, even though she wasted ten years of cultivation time earlier, achieving Foundation Establishment before forty should still be within reach.

As one of Zhou Chun’s experimental subjects, the Foundation Establishment Pill she requires will definitely be supplied by Zhou Chun.

And with her current Poison Techniques at the Late Qi Refinement stage, the venom of those demonic serpents not only won’t harm her in the slightest but will be directly refined by her to enhance the power of her Poison Techniques!

She formed a spell with both hands, and a cyan-gray Water Arrow shot toward a Grade One high-quality demonic serpent.

This Water Arrow, resembling the "Water Arrow Technique," was actually the far more powerful "Poison Arrow Art."

The moment the arrow struck the demonic serpent, it immediately turned into poisonous water, corroding its scales and skin. The toxins swiftly entered its body and surged through it.

Within mere breaths, this venomous demonic serpent succumbed directly to Zhou Yuanlian’s mixed toxins!

Witnessing this scene, Zhou Xinchen’s expression slightly shifted, and he transmitted a message to Zhou Xinyan, saying, "No wonder the Clan Leader values Xiao Lian so highly. The abilities of the Tome of Thousand Poisons are truly strange and formidable. Once she succeeds in achieving Foundation Establishment, I fear that even with our realm advantages, we may not be her match!"

His words carried a hint of envy.

However, Zhou Xinyan replied calmly, "This is all deserved. Think of the pain she endured during her cultivation—could you or I have borne it?"

Having cultivated the top-tier Jiamu Profound Technique himself, he deeply understood the principle of equal exchange between effort and reward for such powerful techniques.

When he himself broke through to Mid Foundation Establishment before, he nearly succumbed to a qi deviation and died.

Precisely because of that experience, he was not in a rush to break into Late Foundation Establishment, instead choosing to refine his mana carefully and prepare some auxiliary Spiritual Objects to reduce the risk of qi deviations before advancing.

As for danger, the Tome of Thousand Poisons far surpassed the Jiamu Profound Technique he cultivated!

The Poison Cultivator heritage in the Cultivation World was so rare, and its scarcity was certainly not without reason.

Although Zhou Xinchen did not cultivate a top-tier technique, he understood this logic and had some knowledge of Zhou Yuanlian’s training process with the Tome of Thousand Poisons.

Therefore, upon hearing Zhou Xinyan’s words, he let go of his envy and accepted reality with peace of mind.

Thus, their group continued walking and pausing intermittently, navigating the Thousand Serpent Glade for several days until they finally approached the serpent nest of the Flamescale Pythons.

After these days of training, the younger generation of Zhou Family cultivators displayed noticeably transformed mental states.

This was the advantage of being a family cultivator.

From a young age, they could receive systematic education and training, avoiding detours.

When they grew older and their cultivation flourished, they could also be led by senior family members to venture out, learning the ways of the world and mastering the art of combat.

In contrast, Loose Cultivators—whether or not they had mentors—could never enjoy such privilege as family cultivators.

The Flamescale Python nest was not like many serpent nests located deep underground but instead situated in a Chaos Stone Valley.

The valley was overgrown with weeds and littered with jagged rocks. The spaces and caves formed between connected stones provided numerous hiding places for serpents.

During the daytime, Flamescale Pythons generally hid in the valley and only ventured out to hunt at night.

Zhou Xinyan had long devised a strategy to deal with the Flamescale Pythons.

First, he released his Spirit Pet, the Blue Feather Fire Kite, allowing it to pose as a predator circling above the Chaos Stone Valley, seeking to prey on the Flamescale Pythons to force the two Grade Two Flamescale Pythons to emerge.

The Blue Feather Fire Kite, with its blue-black feathers, hovered and swooped above the valley. Before long, it let out a sharp screech and dove downward, swiftly entering the rocky area to snatch up a three-zhang-long Fire Red Python.

The python was clamped by the Blue Feather Fire Kite’s beak on its head, while its body was pierced and held firmly by sharp talons. Its body wriggled frantically in an attempt to break free.

But the Blue Feather Fire Kite maintained an iron grip on its prey, its talons already locking tightly onto the python’s spine and Dragon Bone. No matter how it struggled, it was futile.

Shortly after, the Blue Feather Fire Kite carried the Flamescale Python and descended before Zhou Xinyan.

Zhou Xinyan, seeing this, immediately cut off the python’s head with a sword and extracted its gall bladder to feed to the kite.

Upon consuming the gall bladder, which contained the essence of the python’s vitality, the Blue Feather Fire Kite let out a satisfied screech and once again flapped its wings, soaring back into the skies above the valley.

As the saying goes, once is a fluke, twice shows a pattern, and thrice is arrogance.

The fact that the Blue Feather Fire Kite had grabbed a Flamescale Python earlier could be attributed to the two Grade Two Flamescale Pythons being caught off guard.

But now, with it returning for another attempt, it was blatantly disrespecting the entire serpent clan.

This act naturally enraged the two Grade Two Flamescale Pythons, who had already developed rudimentary intelligence.

So when the Blue Feather Fire Kite dove down again, the two Grade Two Flamescale Pythons burst forth from their hiding spots, hurling fireballs at it.

What a remarkable Blue Feather Fire Kite!

In an instant, faced with the encirclement of two Grade Two Flamescale Pythons, it executed a swift "U-shaped" climb, dodging the fireballs within a blink of an eye.

Boom! Boom!

The missed fireballs exploded mid-air, transforming into fiery red fireworks.

The Blue Feather Fire Kite, flapping its wings, unleashed over a dozen blue-white Flame Arrows toward the smaller of the two Grade Two Flamescale Pythons.

The python, seeing this, hastily summoned its inner strength, causing fire-red spiritual light to radiate from its body and form a protective barrier of spiritual energy.
