Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

```

Although I had just returned the treasure, I hadn't gone into detail about the Mirage Demon's appearance.

Who knew that Su Yunniang would simply study the white Treasure Bead and reveal the truth of the matter, which indeed surprised him greatly.

After hearing his words, Su Yuzhen gave a long, regretful sigh, "Ah, do you realize what a tremendous opportunity you've missed?"

At this remark, Zhou Chun grew even more curious.

He immediately bowed respectfully and asked for guidance, "This junior is ignorant, please enlighten me, Auntie."

"The Mirage Demon you encountered belongs to the royal clan among their kind, known as the 'Nebula Clam,' naturally possessed of a high-level Demon Beast Bloodline!"

"And the Demon Core of the 'Nebula Clam' is something we illusion-practicing cultivators dream of obtaining. If one could acquire its Demon Core and refine it into an Illusionary Core using a Secret Technique, it would increase the power of our illusory Divine Skills by several folds!"

"Moreover, inside the 'Nebula Clam' there must reside an Illusionary Spirit Pearl. Simply carrying this pearl can render most illusion-based Divine Skills ineffective against you, truly a treasure for breaking illusions!"

"Had you mentioned earlier that the Demon Beast you were going to face was the 'Nebula Clam,' I would certainly have captured it personally instead of letting it get away using a body-double to escape!"

Su Yunniang said lastly, her face showing a hue of pity.

So the Mirage Demon's name was "Nebula Clam"?

Zhou Chun silently committed this name to memory.

As for the rest of what Su Yunniang said, he didn't pay much attention.

Even if he had known the information about the "Nebula Clam" beforehand, he would not have brought Su Yunniang with him to Dragon Abyss Marsh to hunt the creature.

So there was no real cause for regret.

Of course, at this moment, he still showed an expression of remorse and said with frustration, "It is my fault, I thought it was just an ordinary Mirage Demon, I had not considered its significant uses!"

Seeing his reaction, Su Yunniang could only shake her head and sigh, "Ah, never mind, it's not your fault—after all, the 'Nebula Clam' is too rare. If it were not for the records left by our sect's previous senior cultivators who had encountered this kind of Demon Beast, even I might not have recognized it!"

Then, holding the white Treasure Bead in her hand, she said to Zhou Chun, "Since this Illusionary Spirit Bead is an object cultivated by the 'Nebula Clam,' it is naturally extraordinary. Fortunately, our sect has a senior brother who is adept at creating Magic Artifacts from various Spiritual Pearls; he would certainly take great delight in this item."

"If you trust your Auntie, let me pass this item to that senior brother for him to refine it into a Magic Artifact. I believe the final product will not disappoint you!"

Having said all this, Zhou Chun knew how to respond.

After hearing her, he immediately replied respectfully, "Then I would like to thank you in advance, Auntie."

"With the skills of that senior brother, it shouldn't take long to turn this item into a Magic Artifact. In the meantime, Zhengchun, do not be in a hurry to leave. Stay and keep company with Yuzhen and me; I can also take the opportunity to guide you both in the ways of cultivation."

Su Yunniang declared this decision on behalf of Zhou Chun and the two of them without asking for their consent.

After all, being a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, sometimes she could make such decisions without anyone finding fault.

At least after hearing her plan, Zhou Chun did not dare to refuse or object.

What Zhou Chun didn't expect was that Su Yunniang's idea of guiding their cultivation would turn out to include the Dual Cultivation Method!

It turned out that Su Yunniang herself was an expert in the Dual Cultivation Method. Before her Core Formation, she had engaged in dual cultivation with a certain Golden Core Late Stage Elder from the Moon Wheel Sect, which, crudely put, made her his concubine, albeit unofficially.

Therefore, she was extremely knowledgeable about the Dual Cultivation Method.

At this time, she personally guided Zhou Chun and Su Yu in a certain Dual Cultivation Method, which made their cultivation much more effective.

It must be said that a Golden Core Stage Cultivator from a major sect like Su Yunniang undoubtedly had her own special abilities.

With just a month of practicing the method under her guidance, Zhou Chun and Su Yu found the effects of their dual cultivation had improved by several percent.

If the two could live together and practice dual cultivation regularly, their pace of cultivation would increase by at least thirty percent or more.

This was definitely a first-rate Dual Cultivation Method!

Regrettably, although Su Yunniang meant well, the personal circumstances of Zhou Chun and Su Yu made it difficult for them to live together as a normal Daoist couple.

At least for now, it was not possible.

And so, after spending nearly three months in Su Yunniang's cave, Zhou Chun finally received the finished Magic Artifact.

That day, Su Yunniang left the cave to fetch the refined Magic Artifact for Zhou Chun.

When she returned, both Zhou Chun and Su Yu were full of curiosity and inquired about the result.

"This Magic Artifact, I hardly know what to say about it. It's somewhat different from what I initially imagined, but it's not without its uses!"

As she said this, Su Yunniang tapped her Storage Pouch and produced a white-beaded Magic Artifact.

At first glance, the white Treasure Bead in her hand didn't seem much different from the Illusionary Spirit Bead given to her by Zhou Chun earlier.

But a closer look revealed that the aura of Spiritual Power radiating from the white bead was now much more powerful than before, and the bead itself was covered with many elaborate and intricate runes.

After staring at the white Treasure Bead Magic Artifact for a while, Zhou Chun respectfully asked Su Yunniang, "Please, Auntie, clear up my confusion."
