Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 123 Qi Refining Level 10
"Gulu!"

"Wang!"

At the same time, the golden egg and the iron egg, having finished devouring the snake's flesh, were also burning hot all over and began to shout and yell.

After a while, realizing that simply shouting and running could not release the boiling blood and qi in his body, the golden egg rushed into the beach and activated the Myriad Laws Return to Flow Jianmu Heavenly Book.

Meanwhile, Tie Dan was running on the beach while fully activating the Sun-Swallowing and Qi-Drinking Technique.

"They seem to have overdone it!" Li Wan'er scratched her head.

"Croak!" The three-colored star toad made a mocking sound.

The flesh of a giant snake that is close to transforming into a dragon is a completely different thing from the flesh of an ordinary spirit beast.

The former is a highly nourishing food that is difficult for Qi Refining cultivators to swallow and digest, while the latter is food that Qi Refining cultivators can eat at will.

Fortunately, the two beasts hadn't eaten much snake meat, and they were fine after a little commotion.

What needs to be concerned about is Chen Beiwu, whose current excessive qi and blood make it increasingly difficult to refine essence into qi, and who is about to fail in opening his acupoints.

After all, Chen Beiwu had consumed the spinal cord of a giant serpent, an essence that only Foundation Establishment cultivators could digest, and even it dared not consume too much at once.

"It's alright, I have some pills with me. Even if my junior brother gets into trouble, I can handle it." Li Wan'er took out a brownish-gold pill from her storage ring and revealed an innocent smile.

"Quaa?"

The three-colored star toad stared wide-eyed.

The pill is made of brownish-gold with three red patterns, each about the size of a longan, and has the fragrance of lingzhi mushroom. Could this pill be a third-tier precious pill called the Three-Turn Qi Yuan Pill?
“This pill isn’t that precious.” Li Wan’er smiled and put the Qi Yuan Pill away. “Besides, I don’t think Junior Brother Chen will fail.”

"Quaa?"

The three-colored star toad jumped onto Li Wan'er's shoulder, looking ingratiating.

For some Foundation Establishment cultivators and second-tier demonic beasts, breaking through to the Core Formation stage is a life-or-death ordeal.

If one can successfully overcome this obstacle, one can ascend to the heavens in one step and achieve immortality.

If one fails to take that step, at best their foundation will be damaged and their cultivation will be greatly reduced; at worst, they will perish on the spot.

The Three-Turn Qi Essence Pill possesses the power to reverse life and death. After consuming it, cultivators can fuse with its medicinal power, gaining and concealing a portion of the characteristics of the Qi Essence Body.

When the user is seriously injured and on the verge of death or fails to break through, the Qi Yuan Pill's medicinal power will automatically trigger, restoring injuries, eliminating hidden wounds, repairing the foundation, and reshaping the physical body, giving Foundation Establishment cultivators and second-tier demonic beasts the opportunity to form their core again.

Over time, the Three-Turn Qi Yuan Pill became an essential precious pill for Foundation Establishment cultivators to form their core, second only to the Golden Palace Pill in value.

Giving such a precious elixir to a mere Qi Refining cultivator would be a terrible waste; it would be better to give it to him.

“Master said that people who like to gamble are prone to bad luck.” Li Wan’er glanced at the three-colored star toad and snorted, “I’m not going to gamble with you.”

Having reached her level of cultivation, she doesn't make friends based on strength, but rather on chemistry and mutual benefit.

Otherwise, with so many fellow disciples in the Jingyue lineage, why would she choose to fall for Chen Zi'ang alone?

"Crack."

The three-colored star toad widened its eyes, its gaze shifting back and forth between Chen Beiwu and Li Wan'er, and let out a strange cry.

Good luck!
Its thirty years of friendship with Li Wan'er couldn't compare to that of a new disciple who had only been with the school for less than a year.

"You just watch quietly." Li Wan'er picked up the snake bone and tapped the three-colored star toad on the forehead.

The first thing to refine the snake's flesh was the golden egg.

It stayed in the sea for fifteen minutes, and the heat in its body disappeared without a trace, replaced by a warm and comfortable feeling.

"Gurgle?" Golden Egg tilted its head.

Through its reflection on the sea, it discovered that its shimmering golden scales had some imperfections.

To get a better view, it flicked its fins and leaped out of the water.

"Gurgle!" Upon discovering some blood-red, hook-shaped scales growing along the edges of its scales, which looked like the scales were bleeding, the golden egg widened its eyes and subconsciously searched for Chen Beiwu's figure.

It then saw a blazing fire flashing back and forth, causing the beach to emit a faint hissing sound—the crackling sound caused by the high temperature scorching the sand and gravel.

Li Wan'er picked up the golden egg and instructed, "Don't disturb them."

Realizing how terrifying the other party was, Jin Dan rolled his eyes, pretended to faint, and asked Chen Beiwu for help through the Covenant Contract.

It hadn't forgotten that this female cultivator had once tried to eat it!

Seeing through Jin Dan's clumsy attempt at unconsciousness, Li Wan'er didn't expose him, but instead observed Chen Beiwu's changing aura with great interest.

On the other side, as the Qi Refining and Acupoint Condensation Technique was activated, Chen Beiwu felt that the spinal cord soup he had drunk earlier was no longer as simple as magma, but rather an entire volcano was erupting inside his body.

'Should we expel the essence of the snake's spinal cord?' Chen Beiwu's mind raced, and then he heard the golden egg's cry for help.

'You idiot, there are big snakes to eat, why would your senior sister care about your paltry clothes?'

After calming Jin Dan down, Chen Beiwu had a sudden inspiration.

He couldn't refine the essence of the serpent's spinal cord by relying solely on the Qi Refining and Acupoint Condensation Technique, but what if he added the Golden Egg to assist in the operation of the Myriad Laws Returning to the Flow of the Jianmu Heavenly Book?

After all, the golden egg possesses the talent of absorbing the sea, and by using both methods together, it might actually be able to refine a portion of the boiling blood and qi within his body.

"Crack—Bang!"

The skin cracked into scorched earth, the bones emitted a crisp, forging sound, and mist seeped from all 365 acupoints on the body.

Despite the pain, Chen Beiwu focused on two things at once, simultaneously practicing the Qi Refining and Condensing Techniques and the Myriad Laws Returning to the Flow of the Jianmu Heavenly Book.

"Gulu."

The golden egg in Li Wan'er's arms also glowed with fire on its scales. Her mental energy and magical power worked together with Chen Beiwu's consciousness and will to refine the essence of the snake's spinal cord.

boom!
With the golden egg sharing some of the pressure on his blood and qi, Chen Beiwu's boiling, fiery magical power immediately became much more docile, obediently circulating around his meridians to repair and expel the scabs from his physical body.

"Cuck!"

The three-colored star toad immediately sensed something was wrong.

"Qi cultivators need to diligently practice various profound arts, widely absorb the orthodox techniques of the universe, and thoroughly explore all kinds of wondrous methods. Isn't it normal for Junior Brother to know some beast-taming techniques?" Li Wan'er said dismissively.

Most cultivators in the sect believe that the way of beast taming is a low-class and trivial path, but she doesn't think so.

There are three thousand great paths, but they all lead to the same destination. Whether it is the path of alchemy, the path of weapon crafting, the path of formation, the path of talismans, or the path of beast taming, the path that can help cultivators reach the end is the grand path.

"Junior brother should have succeeded," she murmured.

Upon hearing this, the three-colored star toad withdrew its gaze, pretended nothing had happened, and continued to feast.

"Hey, you only get 10% of the share, all of this is mine!" Li Wan'er said protectively.

When the Yuanchi acupoint was completely solidified, Chen Beiwu's cracked old skin peeled off, revealing skin as smooth as jade.

Originally stuck at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, he took a crucial step forward at this moment.

Chen Beiwu opened his eyes, and the crimson light in them completely faded.

Qi Refining Level 10, Success!

"Hoo!" Chen Beiwu exhaled a breath of stale air, clenched his fist, and carefully felt the changes in his physical body.

"My essence is not leaked, my Qi is not scattered, and my spirit is not obscured. After entering the tenth level of Qi Refining, my physical body has already acquired some of the characteristics of being leak-free." Chen Beiwu looked surprised.

According to the Qi Refining and Acupoint Condensation Method, he needs to open the Six Harmonies Acupoint on top of the Yuanchi Acupoint and enter the eleventh level of Qi Refining in order to break through the shackles of the physical body and obtain a flawless body comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

He's only at the tenth level of Qi Refining right now!
