Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

Although it was just a dual cultivation ceremony, because of the Su Family's involvement, this celebration became the Zhou Family's most grand celebration since they settled on Jiufeng Ridge.

In front of this celebration, the previous one commemorating Zhou Daoquan's achievement of the Purple Mansion Phase paled in comparison.

The number of guests attending this celebration was several times more than the previous one, and the status and cultivation levels of the guests were incomparable to those from before.

Even the wedding gifts received this time were beyond comparison.

The Su Family from Jiangzhou was a true Golden Core family and had deep connections within the Moon Wheel Sect. Almost no one would decline an invitation sent in the Su Family's name.

So, by the day of the celebration, the Zhou Family cultivators truly witnessed the influence of being a Golden Core family.

"The Murong Family from Jiangzhou presents a wedding gift of an eight-hundred-year-old Red Ganoderma; may the couple be united at heart forever, with love as enduring as gold."

"The Dai Family from Jiangzhou presents a wedding gift of seven chi of Bluefall Silk; may the couple live in perfect harmony and love each other for all eternity."

"Disciple Wu Taishan from the Moon Wheel Sect presents a wedding gift of one Moon Shadow Immortal Lamp; may the couple's true love last forever, and may their union be as perfect as flowers in bloom under the full moon."

"Disciple Taoist Mingxia from the Green Lotus Temple presents a wedding gift of a Millennium Golden Stone Lotus; may the couple's love be as enduring as gold and may they grow old together."

...

The Zhou Family member responsible for receiving the gifts and expressing gratitude was Zhou Chun's eldest brother, Zhou Zhengyong.

As guest after guest presented their gifts, announced by him, each announcement left him and many Zhou Family cultivators full of astonishment and broadening their horizons.

Apart from a few Zhou Family elders like Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi, most of the present Zhou Family cultivators had not enjoyed the benefits of a once Golden Core family.

Although they knew the Zhou Family was once a Golden Core family and felt proud of it, they didn't have a real impression of the prestige that came with it.

But today, they truly saw the prestige of a Golden Core family.

Spiritual objects that ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators would fight over were being casually presented as wedding gifts.

Purple Mansion Phase cultivators, who were rarely seen, were now gathered together to congratulate the Zhou Family's Clan Leader.

These people definitely didn't come because of the Zhou Family's fame; they were clearly here for the Su Family's reputation.

Even the Li Family and You Family, who thought they could manipulate the Zhou Family, had no choice but to send a Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator to express their congratulations, all because of the Su Family's influence.

After all, Golden Core families too had their hierarchy, and a Moon Wheel Sect direct lineage family like the Su's was certainly much stronger than those two families without such high connections.

By the end, a tally showed that just the Purple Mansion Phase cultivators attending the dual cultivation ceremony amounted to thirty-five, with the Ancestor of Su Family, a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, personally overseeing the event.

"The auspicious time has arrived; the bridal couple will now pay their respects to heaven and earth."

Atop Pagoda Peak, accompanied by the clear voice of the master of ceremonies, Zhou Chun and Su Yuzhen, dressed in bright red wedding attire, completed the marriage ceremony in the presence of family, friends, and numerous guests.

After the ceremony, Zhou Chun, holding Su Yuzhen's hand, ascended the platform and raised a cup towards the gathered crowd to express his thanks, "I thank all the seniors and fellow cultivators for gracing the Zhou Family with your presence at the dual cultivation celebration of my Dao Companion and me, and for your blessings and gifts. We two raise this cup to all the seniors and fellow cultivators."

After drinking this cup of wine, Zhou Chun poured himself another, raised it toward the Ancestor of Su Family, and said, "This cup is specifically to express my gratitude to the Elder Ancestor, for your profound favor and esteemed recognition, allowing me the honor of taking the exceptional Yuzhen as my Dao Companion. I will forever remember the teachings of the Elder Ancestor and never fail your gracious love."

This kid's certainly got the right idea!

The Ancestor of Su Family was momentarily taken aback and then showed a smiling face, waving his hand and saying, "Nephew Zhou is too courteous. Your character and abilities have long been known throughout Lanzhou, and I am at ease entrusting Yuzhen to you."

Then, he turned to Su Yuzhen and earnestly advised, "Yuzhen girl, now that you have chosen Nephew Zhou, you must treat him well. Do not act willfully or rashly just because of your higher cultivation level, which could spoil the harmony between our two families."

"Yes, I will remember the Elder Ancestor's teachings," responded Su Yuzhen with her head slightly bowed, her voice clear and crisp.

This scene in the eyes of the guests made many of them even more envious of Zhou Chun.

Zhou Chun's Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation level and his marriage to a Golden Lotus Phase woman from a Golden Core family was already enviable enough.

After seeing the extremely beautiful Su Yuzhen today at the venue, their envy only intensified.

But before this, most of them felt that with a great difference in cultivation between the man and the woman, Su Yuzhen would surely be the one in charge at home.

This thought somehow balanced things out in their minds.

However, now the Ancestor of Su Family had made his stance clear in advising Su Yuzhen in front of so many people, revealing his attitude.

This made many guests extremely envious, wondering what kind of luck Zhou Chun had stumbled upon to earn such favor and regard from the Ancestor of Su Family.

And without a doubt, the Ancestor of Su Family's show of support also indicated his backing for the marriage alliance between the two families.

In the future, any forces in conflict with the Zhou Family would have to seriously consider this powerful marital connection.
