Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming
Chapter 926 - 439: What Level! [Subscribe Please]_3

After that, as if fearing he wouldn't die, Zhou Chun immediately activated the Zhou Family's Beast Taming Secret Technique "Power Grafting" and grafted his own Mana onto the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer Stone.

At once, Stone, originally just a Third Order inferior Demon Beast, was forcibly elevated to a Third Order middle grade.

Such a boost in Mana cultivation made its Spell Divine Skills much more powerful.

Jiang Zhong too, now felt that same uncomfortable and helpless sensation Zhou Chun had experienced when facing Jiang Zhong's sudden increase in Mana cultivation!

"If you have something to say, say it nicely. As long as you are willing to spare Jiang Mou, Jiang Mou will definitely have a generous reward for you!"

When Jiang Zhong, the "Corpse Fiend General," realized the power in his Demon Cauldron Talisman was rapidly depleting under relentless attacks, he finally changed his expression, setting aside his pride to start pleading with Zhou Chun.

He certainly did not want to die here.

After all, he was a leading figure of the younger generation within the Corpse Demon Sect, with a nearly certain future of achieving Golden Core.

Compared to his own life and the path toward the Golden Core, pride was important, but not that critical.

"To let you go? Do you think that's possible? You should know your head is worth a Nascent Soul Spirit Material!"

Zhou Chun, displaying a cold smile, said coldly to Jiang Zhong, his reaction, however, wasn't surprising to Zhou Chun.

The deeper one's path, the more they yearned to live when faced with a life-death crisis.

Just like the wealthier people are, the more they value their own lives!

What Zhou Chun didn't expect, however, was that upon hearing his slightly mocking words, Jiang Zhong quickly clenched his teeth and said, "Is it just a Nascent Soul Spirit Material? As long as you can spare Jiang Mou his life, Jiang Mou can also give you a Nascent Soul Spirit Material, and even hand over the several hundred thousand Spirit Coins obtained from killing your Cultivators!"

"Do you have Nascent Soul Spirit Material on you?"

Zhou Chun was slightly stunned, his gaze towards Jiang Zhong suddenly turned strange.

When Jiang Zhong heard his words, he immediately understood the implication and couldn't help shaking his head repeatedly, "Of course not. Since Jiang Mou has ventured deep into your territory, naturally, I wouldn't carry such important items with me. The Elders of the Sect wouldn't permit it!"

Zhou Chun, upon hearing this, immediately felt a great regret, his tone also turned cold: "If that's the case, why should Zhou Mou believe your words!"

Hearing this, Jiang Zhong hastened to say loudly, "Taoist Friend Zhou may not trust my words, but you should trust a Heart Demon Oath. Jiang Mou is bound to achieve Golden Core in the future and definitely won't ruin my prospects, especially not for a mere Nascent Soul Spirit Material. Jiang Mou wouldn't go so far as to sever my path to the Golden Core for such a thing!"

"That's uncertain. Zhou Mou could kill you now and definitely get a Nascent Soul Spirit Material, but sparing you might not ensure that. If you were me, what would you choose?"

Zhou Chun slightly shook his head, seemingly moved, but it appeared more like he harbored significant reservations.

This, however, gave Jiang Zhong greater hope.

He wasn't afraid of Zhou Chun making demands; he feared Zhou Chun remaining unmoved.

Quickly, he said loudly, "Taoist Friend Zhou speaks amiss. Though Jiang Mou is a Demon Cultivator, I have always kept my word. Since I've sworn a Heart Demon Oath, I will definitely not break the oath!"

After saying that, he also took off the black gourd from his waist and said, "Moreover, to show my sincerity, Jiang Mou can first mortgage this 'Profound Yin Corpse Gourd' to Taoist Friend Zhou. This item is a secret treasure of our sect, worth more than ordinary Dharma Treasures. Even to retrieve it, Jiang Mou would certainly not break his oath!"

However, Zhou Chun unapologetically said, "What use does Zhou Mou have for your gourd? Are you trying to use this demon instrument to harm Zhou Mou?"

As he spoke, his gaze icily fixed upon him as he said, "If you truly have sincerity, hand over the storage pouch first. Zhou Mou will see what's inside and then decide whether to trust you or not!"

Upon hearing this request, Jiang Zhong's expression turned ugly instantly, and anger couldn't help but show in his eyes as he said, "Do you take Jiang Mou for a fool, Taoist Friend Zhou? If I give you the storage pouch and you turn your back on me and kill me to obtain the Nascent Soul Spirit Material, where would Jiang Mou seek justice?"

"Look, if you don't trust Zhou Mou, on what basis do you expect Zhou Mou to trust you?"

Zhou Chun gave a cold laugh, his tone leaving no room for compromise.

Jiang Zhong, having been spoken to in such a manner, suddenly fell silent with an unpleasant look in his eyes.

However, while the two were talking, the attacks from the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer, Stone, hadn't weakened in the slightest.

Thus, after Jiang Zhong had been silent for a while, his Demon Cauldron Talisman began to show signs of faltering, its power nearly exhausted!

Seeing this, his eyes shifted, and he finally gave in a step.

He then spoke up, "Alright, then Jiang Mou will step back. I can hand over more than 300,000 Spirit Coins and a few Third Order Magic Artifacts from the storage pouch to Taoist Friend Zhou to prove my sincerity. What do you think?"

"That's more like it. First, take out the items so Zhou Mou can have a look."

Zhou Chun nodded in satisfaction and readily agreed.

But Jiang Zhong didn't immediately do as he suggested; instead, he looked at him and said, "Since Taoist Friend Zhou has agreed, could you first stop your Spirit Pet's attack?"

"No problem!"

Zhou Chun responded and indeed immediately ordered Stone to stop the attack.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhong also breathed a small sigh of relief, then reached out and slapped his storage pouch, pouring out the Spirit Coins and Magic Artifacts in front of Zhou Chun.

The Golden Armor Turtle Bearer, Stone, quickly moved those items in front of Zhou Chun.

Afterward, Zhou Chun slowly began to inspect and count the items under the tense gaze of Jiang Zhong.

Time slowly passed, and after about fifteen minutes, Zhou Chun gathered the items into his own storage pouch and then nodded at Jiang Zhong, "Good, it seems you do have sincerity, Jiang. Now you can swear your oath!"

Hearing this, Jiang Zhong was overjoyed and quickly began to swear in front of Zhou Chun.

But just as he was solemnly taking his oath, the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer suddenly lunged forward, striking his external Protective Barrier with a fierce blow of the "Golden Magnet Golden Radiance."

Simultaneously, Zhou Chun also summoned the little mana he had left to activate a Third Order High-Grade Attack Talisman against the Protective Barrier.

Shortly after, several "Skyfrost Cold Bees" opened their mouths, releasing all of the "Skyfrost Cold Qi" contained within their bodies.

Under this triple assault, the Demon Cauldron above Jiang Zhong's head was directly shattered on the spot, and he himself was instantly frozen.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Chun had the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer, Stone, bring the frozen Jiang Zhong back to a certain spot on the ground.

"Humph, do you even see your current situation, and yet you still dare to negotiate terms with Zhou Mou!"

On the ground, looking at Jiang Zhong with eyes wide open and encased in ice, Zhou Chun couldn't help but let out a cold snort, his face full of disdain as he taunted.
