Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 124 Black Blood Scales

Is it because the spinal cord treatment is too effective, or is it due to the "All Methods Return to the Flow" technique from the Jianmu Heavenly Book?

Chen Beiwu internally examined his dantian and discovered that the Qinghong Spirit Seed and the Qingmu Spirit Seed had doubled in size and were radiating unprecedented brilliance under the nourishment of pure magic power, as if they could undergo further transformation at any moment.

'Strange, advancing to the tenth level of Qi Refining actually reduces the difficulty of the spirit seed's transformation.'

Chen Beiwu's heart stirred; this was something that had never been recorded in the Heavenly Book.

Could it be that the existence of the Qi Refining and Acupoint Condensation Method has filled the gaps in the Myriad Laws Returning to the Flow Jianmu Heavenly Book, causing the two spiritual seeds born from the technique to surge in power and greatly increase in spirituality?

Thinking of this, a conjecture suddenly popped into Chen Beiwu's mind.

If he can cultivate to the twelfth level of Qi Refining using the sect's secret Qi Refining method, can the Myriad Laws Return to Flow Jianmu Heavenly Book naturally step into the Flawless Qi Refining realm?
"Gulu!"

Just then, the Golden Egg cried out for help from the Covenant Contract.

He turned his head and saw that the golden egg in Wan'er's arms was completely red, and the whole fish was emitting hot smoke, just like a big roasted fish.

"Don't worry, junior brother, it's fine." Li Wan'er casually tossed the golden egg to Chen Beiwu.

"This spirit fish has an amazing physique, comparable to a Foundation Establishment demon beast. The bit of spinal cord that you digested for me, junior brother, can't hurt it at all."

"Gulu."

The golden egg opened its mouth and exhaled hot smoke.

Chen Beiwu scanned the golden egg with his divine sense and found that it only had a slightly elevated body temperature and was otherwise fine. It would return to normal after a short rest.

'Eating a single meal can increase your cultivation by two years, a feat many fellow beasts envy, yet you complain about the heat,' Chen Beiwu thought to himself.

"Gulu."

Golden Egg twisted its body, seemingly unaccustomed to the new environment.

"That second-realm blood viper's cultivation far surpasses yours. When you used the Absorption of the Sea to devour its flesh and blood, the golden scales were easily affected, and it's normal for them to grow blood-colored scales," Chen Beiwu explained.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Azure Blood Serpent was no match for Senior Sister Wan'er; it is an extremely dangerous second-tier spirit beast.

Its innate talent, [Black Blood Scale], is a rather troublesome spiritual technique that allows it to manipulate the opponent's blood at will and enhance its own defense.

Faced with the Azure Blood Serpent, some Foundation Establishment cultivators with weaker cultivation levels cannot even control their own blood, and may even explode and die instantly.

The transformation of the Golden Scale was most likely influenced by the Black Blood Scale.

If the Golden Egg can seize this opportunity to master the second-tier spiritual technique, Black Blood Scale, it will no longer fear attacks from groups of weaker beings, and may even grow stronger in battle amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

"Gurgle?" Golden Egg's fish eyes widened.

"How much snake meat have you eaten? Second-tier spirit beast talents aren't so easy to steal," Chen Beiwu retorted.

Although Na Hai's talent is formidable, it is only a second-tier top-grade spiritual technique.

If Golden Egg wants to acquire the Black Blood Scale talent, simply consuming a little bit of snake spinal cord won't work. It will probably need to use the Ocean Absorption talent to devour and refine some snake gall essence to have a chance.

Turning his head to look at the beach, Tie Dan was now lying exhausted on the sand, his nostrils constantly exhaling waves of fire.

"How are you feeling?" Chen Beiwu bent down and massaged Tie Dan to relieve his fatigue.

One snake falls, and all things come to life.

After eating the snake meat, the light blue aura above Tie Dan's head had transformed into a slightly darker blue, greatly increasing his potential.

This shows that the flesh and blood of a giant snake that is close to transforming into a dragon is an incredible stroke of luck for any strange beast.

Tie Dan stuck out his tongue and licked Chen Beiwu's palm.

Although snake meat is highly nutritious, its aftereffects are far stronger than those of jade scales.

Just then, Chen Beiwu heard his senior sister's childish voice.

"Junior brother, could you help me prepare some more snake meat?" He turned his head and saw that dozens of dishes on the beach had been completely devoured.

"Of course, I'll make extra so that Senior Sister can freeze them and eat them when she gets back," Chen Beiwu readily agreed.

Today's meal allowed him to surpass other cultivators of the same age in his Qi cultivation progress, saving him at least five years of arduous training. It also greatly benefited the Golden Egg and Iron Egg, significantly increasing their cultivation levels.

With such a good thing to enjoy, what's a couple of meals?

"Then I'll have to trouble you, junior brother." Senior Sister Wan'er chuckled, her oily lips particularly noticeable.

Chen Beiwu took out a gauze scarf from his storage bag, handed it out, and pointed to his lips.

The senior sister was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and obediently took the gauze to wipe her mouth.

Upon seeing this, the three-colored star toad looked at Li Wan'er with a strange gaze.

Good heavens, even the most fearless troublemaker in the sect has such a gentle side!
It had previously wondered why Li Wan'er, with her strength, needed to use the third-tier magic weapon, the Ice Soul Needle, to deal with a giant snake that had not yet transformed into a dragon.

Now it finally understands.

After spending a whole day processing a large piece of snake meat, Chen Beiwu plunged the blood-stained Cold Pool Spirit Sword into the shallow sea to clean it.

Chen Beiwu never expected that a fine second-tier spirit sword would be reduced to a kitchen knife in his hands.

Fortunately, the Cold Pool Spirit Sword had been drinking plenty of snake blood during this time, and its spirituality had increased slightly. It not only did not dislike this unconventional way of raising a sword, but instead became even closer to its master.

"Alright, junior brother, we should head back to the sect." Senior Sister Wan'er contentedly packed up a large pile of dishes, piloted the flying boat, and hurried back to the Mirror Moon Sect.

……

Three days later, at Shuiyue Peak.

A secluded dwelling by the water and moon.

Chen Beiwu opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.

After reaching the tenth level of Qi Refining, the range of his divine sense increased dramatically, from thirty feet to forty feet, far exceeding that of the early Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Immortal Alliance.

If possible, he wanted to continue cultivating in seclusion until his cultivation level broke through to the thirteenth level of Qi Refining and successfully advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, both the [Seven Revolutions of Qi Cultivation Method], which directly targets the twelfth level of Qi Refining, and the sect's secret [Heavenly Evolution Revolving Technique], require a large number of contribution points to exchange for. The latter even requires the status of a disciple in the sect's hierarchy.

Even though Chen Beiwu has earned a lot of spiritual energy by selling goods through live streaming and has enough low-grade spiritual stones, it will be difficult for him to earn a large number of sect contribution points in a short period of time.

Unless he is willing to continue risking uploading miscellaneous cultivation techniques from the Immortal Alliance.

'No, I need to find another way to earn contribution points!'

Chen Beiwu got up, left the cave, and headed to the Array Hall according to the sect map.

High-reward missions like those involving royal jelly or honey that don't require much time or effort are rare. Otherwise, he could use his spiritual energy to buy resources from the Immortal Alliance and then complete sect missions to earn sect contribution points.

With no other option, Chen Beiwu had to find another way.

Among the six branches and fourteen halls of the sect, the Alchemy Hall is the fastest place to earn contribution points.

Next are the Fishing Hall, the Weapon Refining Hall, and the Talisman Hall, and finally the Array Hall.

With his current mastery of array formations, joining the Array Formation Hall and taking on its exclusive missions should be no problem for him to earn more contribution points.

"Gulu?"

Golden Egg curiously scanned the crowd around the array hall, its naive and unworldly appearance attracting the attention of disciples from the sect.

But when these disciples saw the symbol on Chen Bei's martial arts robe, their expressions couldn't help but show a hint of awe.

The main disciples of Jingyue are all extraordinary individuals, and these outer disciples cannot afford to offend them.
