Born with immortal seed

Chapter 148 Seductive Female Cultivator
The market town of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate is built in the huge city at the foot of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.

In keeping with the consistent naming style of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, it is simple and clear: Ten Thousand Beasts Workshop.

Bai Zichen glanced around and realized that the scale of the Ten Thousand Beasts Market was at least ten times larger than that of the Qingfeng Gate Market.

This is quite normal, as Qingfeng Sect only has its own disciples, and only cultivation families and independent cultivators from Black Mountain would visit.

The fame of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has spread to several surrounding countries. When people mention buying a companion spirit beast, the first place that comes to mind is the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.

With the presence of the Pure Spirit Jade Marrow, most of the people in the Myriad Beasts Pavilion are cultivators from other states and counties.

“Since you two are here to choose a companion spirit beast, I will take you directly to the spirit beast pavilion opened by the sect. There is no point in browsing these peripheral shops.”

As the hostess, Honglian diligently introduced the main shops of the Ten Thousand Beasts Shop and the things to pay attention to when choosing a companion spirit beast in the Spirit Beast Pavilion.

"If you are buying a spirit beast cub or a spirit beast egg, the price will not be too high... The ones that really sell for sky-high prices are the spirit beasts that our sect has raised and domesticated to maturity. As long as you sign a spirit beast contract, you will gain a lot of combat power."

During their conversation, the three of them had already made their way through the crowd and arrived in front of the Spirit Beast Pavilion.

"For example, this second-tier mid-grade Crimson Flame Tiger, I estimate it would cost at least 20,000 spirit stones to acquire."

Honglian's slender fingers pointed towards a magnificent tiger being led out. Its fur was crimson red, and sparks flew from its open mouth.

A flamboyantly dressed young cultivator couldn't wait to ride the Crimson Flame Tiger, but with a roar, he was thrown to the ground.

"Your spirit beast contract doesn't seem to work very well."

Su Li had little interest in spirit beasts. If it weren't for Old Ancestor Yang's arrangement, he would have preferred to draw two more talismans in the room.

"It's normal for a Qi Refining stage youth to be disliked if he wants to control a mid-grade second-tier spirit beast and doesn't have the affinity with spirit beasts... The contract only guarantees that the spirit beast will not harm its master and can clearly receive your commands. If the difference in cultivation level is too great, the spirit beast will naturally resist."

Honglian was clearly quite famous in the Spirit Beast Pavilion. Upon entering, she was warmly greeted by disciples of the Myriad Beasts Sect, who led her to a private room on the third floor of the Spirit Beast Pavilion.

"Junior Sister Honglian, what brings you to inspect my Spirit Beast Pavilion today?"

A charming voice came from outside the private room. Before the person even showed up, Bai Zichen had already automatically conjured up an image of a beautiful and charming woman in his mind.

"Senior Sister Hu is too kind. Master has a guest... I'm just bringing two of his juniors to visit the Spirit Beast Pavilion."

Honglian's already elegant face became even more serious, and her voice was cold and clear, creating a stark contrast with her charming and melodious voice.

Senior Sister Hu pushed open the door and entered the private room. A fragrant breeze wafted by as she walked in, dressed in a sexy and daring outfit.

The tight-fitting hunting pants accentuated her full, rounded thighs, which were firm and elastic.

She wore only a red cloth that resembled a bellyband on her upper body, her breasts heaving, and her waist as slender as a willow.

"Oh, where did these two handsome Taoist priests come from? They look unfamiliar to you, is this your first time visiting the Spirit Beast Pavilion?"

Senior Sister Hu took two steps closer, her fragrant shoulders drooping, her rosy lips slightly upturned, and her eyes sparkling with spring-like joy.

'Such powerful seductive skills!'

Bai Zichen felt a surge of heat in his heart, as he could feel the hot breath exhaled by the other person on his neck, which was ticklish and incredibly tempting.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, a furnace of heaven and earth was built, and with several hammer blows that shattered the sky, he finally calmed his mind.

Looking at Senior Sister Hu again, she was still charming and alluring, but she no longer possessed that captivating allure that made one's heart ache.

Su Li was not the primary target of the seductive arts, so she fared slightly better. Her eyes were tightly closed, her face was flushed, and her whole body was trembling slightly.

"This senior sister has such a strong spiritual sense, why bother teasing my junior brother?"

Bai Zichen stood up and stood between Senior Sister Hu and Su Li. This charming woman was actually a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator!
Moreover, his spiritual sense is so powerful that it definitely surpasses that of an ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator by more than a level.

A hint of surprise flashed in Senior Sister Hu's eyes. It was truly rare for someone at the early stage of Foundation Establishment to break through her charm technique.

Her natal spirit beast, a three-tailed white fox, is of little help in combat, but it makes practicing seductive arts twice as effective, and even a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the peak of their cultivation can easily fall victim to it.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be qualified to manage the Spirit Beast Pavilion business.

"Sister's name is Hu Yushan. This junior brother is quite capable... He even said that my spiritual sense is strong, but compared to you, it's nothing!"

Hu Yushan withdrew her seductive skills and curiously sized up Bai Zichen.

To break her seductive arts in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, one must either possess innately strong spiritual awareness, comparable to a Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator, or carry a secret treasure that can protect the wearer when subjected to seductive arts and spiritual attacks.

Hu Yushan felt that the latter possibility was more likely.

Honglian stepped forward, introduced herself to the group, and explained her purpose: she wanted to purchase two spirit beast cubs.

"Don't worry, my sister personally brought such a handsome guest to our door, I will definitely treat him with the utmost care."

Hu Yushan chuckled, her eyes sparkling, and swayed as she walked out of the private room.

"Fellow Daoists, please forgive me. Senior Sister Hu is not like this by nature... It's just that she cultivates the Spirit Control True Scripture and is subtly influenced by her natal spirit beast, which sometimes makes her act a little impolite."

Honglian and Hu Yushan had a casual relationship, but in order to maintain the image of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect in front of outsiders, she still had to explain a few things.

'No wonder Elder Yang called the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect a heretical sect; just one look at this demoness and you know their sect's conduct is improper!'

Bai Zichen nodded to show he understood, but inwardly he was furious.

If my cultivation level weren't insufficient, I would definitely capture her and let her know the consequences of recklessly using seductive arts.

After a short while, Hu Yushan led her four disciples back to the private room. The disciples placed the boxes they were carrying on the ground, bowed, and then withdrew.

"My two eminent disciples of the Azure Maple Sect, I have brought you some of the most precious and treasured spirit beast cubs from the Spirit Beast Pavilion..."

Hu Yushan clapped her hands, drawing everyone's attention. The four boxes were opened, revealing the spirit beasts inside.

"Inside this box are six Taihan White Serpent eggs, carefully cared for by the sect's third-level beast tamer to ensure that each one is full of vitality and can hatch successfully... Once hatched, they will be mid-grade first-level spirit beasts, and at most they can grow into peak first-level spirit beasts in thirty years."

"As for the Taihan White Serpent, once it reaches adulthood, it becomes a peak second-tier demonic beast with immense potential... It can exhale freezing air and alter the climate. It is rumored that there is even a slight possibility of it advancing to the Taihan White Dragon, at which point a single breath of cold air could freeze ten miles away!"

"Miss Hu, let's get practical. What's the value of this?"

Bai Zichen looked at the row of fist-sized snake eggs in the box. Their shells were like jade, and he could feel a distinct chill when he touched them.

Beneath the snake eggs lay pieces of cold jade, which not only provided energy for the eggs but also served as the first food for the Taihan White Snake after it was born.

Although he lost interest upon hearing that it would take thirty years to grow into a top-tier first-order spirit beast, he had a better idea of ​​what to do after hearing the price.

"We'll give you all the discounted price of disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect: one snake egg plus a complete breeding manual, only 1,500 spirit stones!"

"I want one."

As soon as Hu Yushan finished speaking, before Bai Zichen could even haggle, a voice rang out from the side.

Su Li explained to Bai Zichen, "I'm not interested in companion spirit beasts, nor do I have the energy to raise them for decades or even centuries. But since Ancestor Yang requested it, he must have his reasons. I'll just choose one randomly, and I don't care how much of a role it can play."

Bai Zichen remained silent, watching Su Li accept a Taihan White Snake egg along with a jade slip containing a breeding manual.

He spent an extra 500 spirit stones to buy a spirit beast bag and some food for the Taihan White Snake.

"We don't make money off the spirit beasts, we make money off the related products..."

Bai Zichen watched Hu Yushan's practiced movements as she collected spirit stones, and this was the only thought in his mind.

He touched the storage bag that Old Ancestor Yang had given him at his waist, and felt a little more confident.

With his own wealth, he wasn't qualified to sit in the Spirit Beast Pavilion and slowly choose spirit beasts.

Old Ancestor Yang was very generous, putting thirty spirit stones in his storage bag, all of them mid-grade spirit stones.

"Let's look at something else. I'm not interested in the Taihan White Snake."

Bai Zichen waved his hand; he still had some requirements for his first spirit beast.

'Although a spirit beast's growth rate certainly can't match mine, it can't be as careless as Su Li's... Ideally, it should have special supernatural abilities that can be useful in certain situations; at the very least, its appearance should be acceptable, exuding an ethereal aura. The red-crowned, silver-winged crane that Fang Qing rode earlier was quite good!'

The price of a spirit beast in its infancy or hatching stage is completely different from that of a fully mature, domesticated beast.

Just like the Taihan White Snake, once it fully matures, it will be a peak second-tier spirit beast, and there is even a slight possibility that it will evolve into a third-tier spirit beast, the Taihan White Dragon.

However, the transaction price was less than one-tenth of that of a fully-fledged, mid-grade, second-tier Crimson Flame Tiger.

The main problem is raising spirit beasts, which requires too much time and resources, and is full of uncertainties along the way.

Just like the snake eggs that Su Li bought, once the Taihan White Snake grows to the peak of the first tier, if all goes well, he will already be in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

Advancing to the second tier is a major hurdle, and it's normal for spirit beasts to take fifty or sixty years. Only at that point can they barely offer any help to Foundation Establishment cultivators.

If things go smoothly, Su Li may already be in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

The gap in cultivation level between the master and the spirit beast can never be narrowed.

Unless there is a special opportunity that accelerates the growth of the spirit beast, or the master's cultivation stagnates and the spirit beast surpasses him.

Cultivators of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect usually choose an adult demon beast as their natal spirit beast.

Alternatively, select another juvenile spirit beast to grow together as a second option.

“Since Junior Brother Bai doesn’t like the Taihan White Snake, then take a look at this white deer… When it grows up, it will have an elegant appearance and be able to fly on clouds.”

Hu Yushan, like a diligent salesperson, bent down, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful face.

From the second box, they took out a white deer the size of a small dog.

It was pure white, with four small horns on its head, and its four hooves were kicking energetically.

The Cloud-Treading White Deer is a mid-grade second-tier spirit beast.

This cloud-riding white deer has no offensive spells; its only advantages are that it can run fast enough on the ground and can also condense clouds on its four hooves to fly slowly in the air.

But the crane and deer together in spring is already a very auspicious symbol.

In addition, the White Deer that rides on the clouds is very attractive, and the way it moves on the clouds is just like an immortal descending to earth, making it a highly sought-after ornamental mythical beast.
