Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 119 The Three-Colored Star Toad
The next morning.

As the pure magical power within his body began to actively impact the Yuanchi acupoint, Chen Beiwu suddenly felt a sharp pain in the soles of his feet, bringing him back to his senses and abruptly pulling him out of his state of enlightenment.

"call!"

Chen Beiwu finished his internal energy cultivation, exhaled a breath of stale air, and felt that his mouth and tongue were dry, his whole body was exhausted, and even his clothes were soaked with sweat and stuck to his body.

'Could it be that I've been practicing the wrong martial arts technique?'

Sensing the strange changes in his body, Chen Beiwu felt as if he had practiced the wrong martial arts technique and gone mad.

He quickly took out a recovery pill from his storage bag and swallowed it. The fatigue deep in his body slowly disappeared, replaced by a comfortable, relaxed, and refreshed feeling.

'So it turns out that the excessive refining of essence into qi after the enlightenment led to insufficient qi and blood in the physical body.' Chen Beiwu suddenly realized.

At this time, what he needs to do most is not cultivation, but to make up for his deficiencies through dietary supplements or taking pills.

"boom!"

Just then, the gathering of spiritual energy in the surrounding world attracted Chen Beiwu's attention. He turned his head and saw that the golden egg not far away had lifeless eyes, but the aura emanating from its body was becoming stronger and stronger.

'Even the golden egg has had an epiphany?'

Upon seeing this, Chen Beiwu was slightly taken aback.

Golden Egg usually seems dull and stupid, but I didn't expect it to be so insightful. It was able to enter a state of enlightenment along with him.

Unfortunately, this state of enlightenment did not last long.

A few seconds later, the golden egg's eyes regained their luster, and its rising momentum stalled and then slowly declined.

"Gulu!"

The golden egg happily blew out bubbles.

Unlike Chen Beiwu's reaction, after the epiphany, it felt completely refreshed and had inexhaustible energy.

'Some fish really do have a lucky streak.'

Chen Beiwu smiled, closed his eyes, and used his divine sense to carefully experience the changes in his cultivation after the enlightenment.

"Having reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, there's a possibility of opening new acupoints and advancing to the tenth level at any time!"

Feeling the Hongmu magic power within his dantian becoming increasingly pure and powerful, Chen Beiwu opened his eyes in surprise.

The Myriad Laws of Jianmu Heavenly Book is a method for refining beasts, primarily for external purposes; the Qi Refining and Acupoint Condensation Method is a method for condensing acupoints, primarily for internal purposes.

The two techniques complemented each other when practiced simultaneously, giving him a sense of perfect harmony that seemed to be meant to be.

Or perhaps this is the essence of the three thousand great paths leading to the same destination.

By combining the cultivation methods of the Southern Wilderness, he might be able to go even further in the path of beast taming within the Immortal Alliance.

'It's a pity that this enlightenment didn't open the Abyss Pool Aperture.' Chen Beiwu's eyes showed regret.

According to the Qi Condensation Method, the Abyss Pool is hidden in the heel, deep and empty, corresponding to the Big Dipper above and connecting to the Nine Springs below.

If he can successfully open this aperture, his Qi Refining realm will not only reach the tenth level of Qi Refining, but his physical body will also be able to shed part of its mortal form and gain some of the flawless characteristics of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and he will no longer experience insufficient Qi and blood.

This is normal, after all, he has only just started practicing the Qi Condensation Technique.

According to the creator of the practice, those with natural talent and intelligence can begin to understand it in three months, achieve some success in one year, and break through to the next level in five years.

On his first attempt at cultivation, he achieved a sudden enlightenment and successfully located the Yuanchi acupoint.

Judging solely from his progress in cultivating the technique, he has already surpassed the vast majority of cultivators within the sect.

I wonder if his current Qi cultivation speed is faster or slower compared to that of a true disciple of a sect?

Suppressing his reverie, Chen Beiwu focused his divine sense on the depths of the golden egg's vein.

"Not bad, forty-six basic Dao traces, two more than before." Unlike human cultivators, the Tongcan Beast's enlightenment from a single contract can increase its cultivation by two years, which is already quite good progress.

After accumulating three more years of cultivation, the Golden Egg can attempt to advance to the second realm of a minor demon.

"Bang bang bang."

Just then, a soft knock came from outside the cave.

Chen Beiwu used his divine sense to connect with the protective formation and saw that the person outside the cave was none other than his long-lost senior sister, Wan'er.

Unlike last time, this time she wasn't holding a Baoji, but a large, fat toad.

The toad was about a foot long and had a strange coloration, consisting of blue, gold, and purple, making it extremely eye-catching.

Its eyes are like copper coins, with golden square patterns in the pupils. Its back is covered with dozens of fleshy growths, making it look particularly ugly, but its abdomen is as clear and translucent as purple glass.

'It's actually a rare beast that's almost extinct in the Immortal Alliance!'

Chen Beiwu's pupils contracted, and information about this rare treasure beast instantly flashed through his mind.

[Species]: Tricolor Star Toad
[Attributes]: Wood, Metal, Water
[Bloodline]: Tier 3, Low Grade (Treasure Beast)
[Talent]: Azure Star Protects Life (the fleshy growth on the back can transfer fatal damage), Venus Adds Wealth (gathers wealth and power, easily discovers spiritual materials within a mile), Purple Star Adds Longevity (the juice secreted by the toad's abdomen can be used as medicine to prolong life).

The Three-Colored Star Toad ranks ninth on the Earthly Fiends List, one place higher than the third-tier treasure beast, the Crimson-Striped Flaming Serpent.

According to the bounty announced by the Immortal Alliance, a three-colored star toad is worth at least thirty high-grade spirit stones.

If converted into low-grade spirit stones, the amount would reach an astonishing 300,000.

Chen Beiwu had to admit that he was completely captivated the moment he saw the three-colored star toad.

Unlike the Rabbit Rooster, the Three-Colored Star Toad possesses the attributes of wood, metal, and water, which are quite compatible with his spiritual root attributes.

Upon seeing Chen Beiwu appear, Li Wan'er's eyes lit up, and she jogged forward.

"Junior brother, it's been so long since we ate together. Shall we go out to sea and find something to eat?" she asked expectantly.

"Which sea area?" Chen Beiwu asked softly.

He is currently at a crucial stage in his cultivation and has no intention of going out for leisure.

He only wanted to buy a batch of second-tier spiritual pills from the Immortal Alliance to replenish his qi and blood, and then go into seclusion to try to open up the Abyss Pool acupoint.

"It's not the sea area, it's Daxing Island on the edge of the Mirror Moon Sea. A few days ago, when I was stealing—no, when I went to get spirit fruits, I found a really, really big loach there."

"Unfortunately, that loach was very fast and disappeared in the seawater in an instant. I couldn't find it no matter how hard I tried."

Li Wan'er raised the three-colored star toad with her right hand and said with a smile, "But don't worry, junior brother, I've asked for help today, and we'll definitely be able to catch that loach."

At this point, she couldn't help but swallow hard. "I've heard that loaches caught right after being caught are the freshest and taste the best when cooked."

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu's expression shifted slightly, and he looked at the three-colored star toad that had remained silent.

"Senior Sister, who is this?"

"Wait, didn't I just introduce it?"

Li Wan'er realized what was happening, raised the three-colored star toad with both hands, and showed it off like a child:
"Ta-da! This is the Three Talents Treasure-Seeking Toad, a treasure beast raised by Master. It can find rare and precious materials and can also help us find that loach. Isn't it amazing!"

Chen Beiwu nodded, looked away, and said approvingly, "Really impressive."

Knowing the origin of the three-colored star toad, he decisively extinguished any distracting thoughts in his mind.

People are worth knowing.

Wan'er's master is at least a Golden Core cultivator, and may even be a reclusive Nascent Soul cultivator from the sect.

The pets kept by those beings are not something he can covet.
