Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 116 Demon-Catching Guards

"This is a rare species of Jade Beauty Shark. When brewed into a spiritual dish and consumed, it can expel impurities from the body, beautify the skin, and give it a fragrant aroma," Chen Beiwu explained.

"Thank you for the gift, I really like it." Xu Lingling's eyes lit up with surprise. She gripped the jade box tightly with her left hand and unconsciously smoothed a strand of hair behind her ear with her right.

Chen Beiwu smiled and took out a gift box from his storage bag.

"There are gifts too?" Xu Lingling asked in surprise.

Chen Beiwu shook his head and explained, "This is not my gift; it is an apology from the Zihu Chamber of Commerce."

As soon as he finished speaking, he opened the gift box, revealing the purple fire orchid inside.

On the surface, the head of the Zihu Chamber of Commerce came to apologize to him, but in reality, he was there for Xu Lingling.

Otherwise, the apology gift from the other party should be a spiritual medicine belonging to both water and wood elements, rather than a purple fire dendrobium that is purely fire element.

Upon hearing that this wasn't a gift from Chen Beiwu, Xu Lingling's interest waned, and she pushed the gift box back with her right hand.

"I don't want a gift that isn't for you," she said with a sweet smile.

Chen Beiwu did not insist and took back the Purple Fire Glue.

Just then, a small ape, with a tail two feet long, slightly yellow fur, and emerald green eyes, pushed a food cart over.

[Breed]: Agile Monkey

[Attribute]: Wood

[Bloodline]: First-class (Exotic Beast)

[Talent]: Intuitive Skill (Intelligent and approachable, able to learn the crafting of simple weapons)

"Chi chi chi chi."

After carefully placing the dishes on the food cart, the clever ape saluted and then turned to leave.

Noticing Chen Beiwu's gaze, Xu Lingling asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Chen Beiwu said, turning his gaze away.

He was just a little curious that the waiter at Li's Tea House was actually a clever ape with a cultivation level of forty-nine years.

This beast's cultivation level is already at the limit of a spirit or monster. If it could consume another Blood Exchange Pill, it might have a chance to advance to the second realm of lesser demons. How could it have fallen to the level of a waiter?

Could it be that he's working to buy elixirs?

However, Chen Beiwu soon turned his attention to the dishes at Li Ji Teahouse, and began to taste, analyze and deconstruct the recipes and cooking techniques of the dishes.

After a quick lunch, Xu Lingling suggested, "How about we go out for a walk?"

"I have something to do this afternoon," Chen Beiwu declined.

"Okay." Xu Lingling's expression betrayed her disappointment.

"Chirp chirp chirp!" The nimble ape suddenly let out a terrified howl.

"Silly monkey, what's with the name? It's just the Enforcement Division being mobilized, what's there to make a fuss about?"

The burly man at the next table grabbed the nimble ape by the neck and looked out of the building.

"The tiger guards the mountains and forests, intimidating all beasts. Could the Enforcement Division have dispatched the Demon-Catching Guards this time?" the old man murmured to himself.

"Grandpa, what's this about tigers suppressing the mountains and forests? What are you talking about?" a child asked curiously.

"Roar!"

A powerful tiger roar exploded, the violent sound waves shaking the teahouse floor as if an earthquake had struck, frightening the children into crying loudly.

Seeing the unease in Xu Lingling's eyes, Chen Beiwu gently reassured her, "It's alright, the Enforcement Division is already handling it."

At the same time, his divine sense spread out and he "saw" five streams of light landing on the school's commercial street.

Four giant tigers, their bodies entirely black, their hair like steel needles, their heads like millstones, their left eyes crimson, and their right eyes silvery white, surrounded a demonic figure with a look of fear on their faces.

【Species】：Suppressing Tiger (Black Vengeful Tiger) 【Attribute】：Gold

[Bloodline]: Second-level lower grade (Spiritual Beast)
[Talent]: Born with heterochromia (can detect and track blood and resentment), and the power of the Tiger that suppresses evil (its roar can annihilate the consciousness of evil spirits).

Soon, as a streak of azure light descended, the solemn expression in the eyes of the Demon-Suppressing Tiger vanished instantly.

“A mere second-realm demon with only four hundred years of cultivation dares to harm the people of my Immortal Alliance.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly withdrew his divine sense.

He didn't even put a second-realm demon with four hundred years of cultivation in his eyes. This demon-catching guard, who was responsible for suppressing the remnants of the demon race, was at least a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator. He was not someone he could spy on at will.

Ignoring the Foundation Establishment divine senses spying around him, Tian Chang clenched his right palm, and the demonic shadows that the Suppressing Tiger was attacking immediately coughed up blood and fell into a coma.

No remnants of the demon race have appeared in Yuankong County for many years.

Now, a rare occurrence has occurred, and to demonstrate the majesty of the Demon-Catching Guards, he doesn't mind Foundation Establishment cultivators in the county gathering to watch.

……

Li's Teahouse.

"Grandpa, there's a monster!" the child cried loudly.

"Don't cry, don't cry. With the Demon-Catching Guards in action, no matter what kind of monster it is, it can't cause any trouble." The old man picked up the child and comforted him.

The young cultivators in Yuankong County today only know about the Law Enforcement Division and not the Demon-Catching Guards, but most of the older generation of cultivators know about the latter.

The Demon-Catching Guards belong to the Enforcement Division, one of the three major institutions of the Immortal Alliance. They are responsible for maintaining the order of the Immortal Alliance, suppressing, supervising, and hunting down the remnants of the demon race. They do not usually interfere in the affairs of human cultivators.

Every time the Demon-Catching Guards are dispatched, a tiger's roar serves as a warning and deterrent, to raise the vigilance of surrounding cultivators and ensure their safety, lest they be harmed by the remnants of the demon race.

Listening to the conversation around him, Chen Beiwu looked at Xu Lingling and said, "For safety's sake, let's leave later."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say," Xu Lingling said instinctively.

After waiting a while, the tiger's roar stopped, and instead, everyone's cell phone notifications rang.

[The demonic threat has been eradicated! The Enforcement Division strikes swiftly, wiping out a blood sacrifice den in Yuankong County in a single day.]

Chen Beiwu opened the news and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

[News Flash]: This morning at 9:00 AM, the Enforcement Division detected traces of demonic energy during a patrol in the southern district of Yuankong County. Following the trail, they raided a blood sacrifice den disguised as a massage parlor and killed two Lesser Demons of the Second Realm on the spot. The ringleader, Qing Niangzi, was apprehended at noon.

This Lady Qing is quite formidable; she managed to hold out for three hours while being pursued by the Enforcement Bureau.

With a sigh, Chen Beiwu put away his phone and smiled, saying, "It's alright now, let me take you home."

Upon hearing this, Xu Lingling was overjoyed.

This guy finally got it today.

Xu Lingling lives in the central area of ​​Yuankong County, not far from Shouhe No. 2 Middle School. She can reach it by simply passing through the Four Seasons Park.

"What are they doing?"

Xu Lingling paused, her gaze turning curiously to the noisy crowd in the distance, mostly composed of girls.

Chen Beiwu glanced at it and said matter-of-factly, "They must be on a blind date."

The basic cultivation education in the Immortal Alliance lasts for fourteen years. In order to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, every Qi Refining student will do their best to pass the entrance exam for a cultivation sect of the seventh or ninth rank or above, and become a sect student to continue receiving cultivation education.

However, cultivating immortality is extremely difficult, and every year a large number of Qi Refining students in the Immortal Alliance fail to pass the college entrance examination.

Most students from impoverished backgrounds accept their fate and apply for basic jobs in the Immortal Alliance, earning meager wages.

Students from wealthy families, on the other hand, choose to pay exorbitant tuition fees to enter specialized academies within the county to continue their studies.

As for those students who come from poor backgrounds, refuse to accept their fate, and want to continue cultivating immortality, they only have two paths left to take.
