Lingzhou, Dongling Marketplace.
Returning here after several years, Zhou Chun's state of mind was utterly different than before.
Back then, he had only recently broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage and had not yet switched to cultivating a new technique. His spirit pet, the Silver Lightning Python, hadn't advanced to the second rank either, leaving his strength quite meager as he didn't dare venture out alone.
But now, not only had he successfully switched to cultivating the "Golden Cauldron Profound Technique," a top-tier cultivation art, but his spirit pet had also ascended to become a second-rank Demon Beast. He could even stimulate its bloodline potential through a secret technique, bursting forth with strength comparable to a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
The combination of these factors gave him the confidence to face a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator on his own.
