Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 145 Changing Fish
"You've broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining?"

Chen Qin paused, a look of surprise in her eyes. "Today isn't the Shangsi Festival."

"Sister Qin, do you think I would joke about something like this?" Chen Beiwu raised an eyebrow.

"Alright, you win, kid." Chen Qin's expression was complicated.

Life is unpredictable. The little kid who used to follow her around catching fish has now become a peak Qi Refining cultivator.

What does it mean to be a seventeen-year-old Qi Refining Peak cultivator?
If Chen Beiwu is able to get into the Thirteen Immortal Sect in the future, the entire Yuankong County might be proud of him.

"There are three music halls in Yuankong County that can play the Cleansing Melody: Yunyin Pavilion, Qilu Pavilion, and Yayun Pavilion," Chen Qin explained.

"Yunyin Pavilion is the largest and has the best business. Its master, Su Miao, is a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator and a second-tier high-grade musician."

Its combination with the contracted beast, the Thousand-Tone Illusion Fox, triggers a soul-cleansing melody that can vibrate the divine consciousness, allowing listeners to quickly immerse themselves in the rhythm of the music and gain enlightenment.

"The only drawback is the high cost. It would cost at least 2,500 spirit yuan to ask Pavilion Master Su Miao to play the Spirit Cleansing Melody, which is equivalent to half of the Foundation Establishment Five Spirit Yuan, and there is no guarantee that you can make an appointment."

"Of course, if you choose a first-level musician from Yunyin Pavilion, you don't need to make an appointment or wait in line, and the price is only one hundred spirit coins, but the effect will be much worse. Basically, no Qi Refining Ninth Level cultivator can gain enlightenment by listening to music."

"The Seven Laws Pavilion is of average size and places more emphasis on the background of its customers. Although the pavilion owner, Qin Wuyai, is a second-tier high-grade musician, his contracted beast, the Soul-Destroying Flute, is more skilled in musical combat. I do not recommend you choose it."

"The chief musician of Ya Yun Xuan never accepts guests, and the level of the first-tier musicians in the workshop varies greatly, so I do not recommend you choose them."

At this point, Chen Qin paused slightly and offered her advice: "If your budget allows, it's best to make an appointment with Pavilion Master Su Miao; otherwise, just hire any musician from Yunyin Pavilion."

Chen Beiwu nodded slightly and thanked him.

If it weren't for Sister Qin's explanation, he really wouldn't have known that there were so many intricacies hidden in a single Cleansing Song.

"It's alright, just don't forget to help me out when you become successful in the future." Chen Qin waved her hand and turned to go inside.

"Click."

After closing the door, Chen Qin lowered her head, picked up the water glass on the table, drank it all in one gulp, and exhaled a breath of stale air.

"That little brat has finally grown up."

After saying this, she pursed her lips, took out a photo frame from her storage bag, revealing a happy family photo of the three of them.

While the three were taking photos, a small head happened to peek out from the bushes behind them, giving off a very sneaky vibe.

Chen Qin wiped the photo with her fingertip, a complex look flashing in her eyes.

"Buzz!"

Just then, her cell phone vibrated in her pocket.

Chen Qin glanced at her phone screen, her expression changed slightly, and her delicate ears suddenly transformed into fluffy fox ears.

……

Meanwhile, Chen Beiwu returned to his cultivation room on the second floor of his home and, as Sister Qin had instructed, downloaded the Yunyin Pavilion app and began making reservations.

Dear customer, your appointment request has been successfully placed in the waiting list. Based on the current queue situation, the estimated service period is 24 months. We will keep you updated on your appointment status via the contact information you provided. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

"The waiting list for appointments alone takes two years," Chen Beiwu exclaimed, somewhat astonished.

Considering his current cultivation progress, Chen Beiwu did not cancel the reservation order.

Let's just wait.

Two years is enough time for him to complete the Qi Refining and Aperture Condensation Technique and nurture the two spiritual seeds in his dantian to their limit.

If the Cleansing Spirit Melody is truly as miraculous as rumored, even if he cannot gain enlightenment upon hearing the melody, it can still reasonably explain his rapid advancement in cultivation.

When the time comes, people will ask him what his amazing talent is, and how he can reach new heights with every song!
As evening fell and night descended, Chen Beiwu began his long-awaited live stream from Jingyuan West Lake.

[Haven't been online for over half a year, does the streamer want to quit?]

[Now that the hype has died down, he's back to livestreaming; his behavior is a bit unsightly.] [My calculations suggest that Yu Paopao is online tonight mostly to sell products and fleece his customers. Don't fall for it, brothers.]

After glancing at the live stream chat, Chen Beiwu cast his fishing rod and began interacting with the audience.

"The streamer is the future successor of the Immortal Alliance. He hasn't been streaming recently because he's in seclusion cultivating," he explained.

[Successor to the Immortal Alliance? Is the streamer a Nascent Soul True Monarch or a Deity Transformation True Venerable? Such a boastful tone!]

[This is normal, just Fish Run is always bragging, you'll get used to it.]

[Enough with the chit-chat, can the streamer help me identify the fish?]

Upon seeing the last comment, Chen Beiwu chuckled: "I'm not a professional beast-identifying streamer, fellow Daoist, did you enter the wrong live stream?"

[Guess who I am? I'm gifting the streamer a sports car*1 — The streamer boldly declares, it's okay if I'm wrong, that strange fish is really weird, it can eat three pigs in one bite.]

"Thanks to 'Guess Who I Am' for the sports car. Brother, you can click to come on the mic. The host wants to see what kind of fish can eat so much."

As Chen Beiwu activated the live chat function, he casually pulled up his fishing rod.

"call out!"

A fish three feet long, with silvery-white scales all over its body, jade-like eyes, and a dorsal fin shaped like a tricolor coral, suddenly leaped out of the lake, shimmering with tiny starlight under the moonlight.

【? ? ? 】

What a beautiful fish!

[Silver scales, jade eyes, and a tricolor dorsal fin—if I'm not mistaken, this should be a second-tier spirit fish, the Jade-Eyed Salmon!]

When Chen Beiwu caught something good, the live stream chat exploded with comments.

"Calm down, calm down." Chen Beiwu removed the fishing hook and said in a calm tone, "The streamer has fished for eternity and caught countless spirit fish. A mere Jade Eye Salmon is not worth making a fuss about."

[Oh no, they really got caught by the fish! This streamer used to be a notorious "corpse fisherman" in the fishing world!]

[Still calling it "Fish Runaway"? The sensible guys in the livestream are already calling for "Brother Wangu" and asking about fishing spots.]

[Holy crap, this jade-eyed salmon weighs at least twenty pounds and is worth over a thousand spirit coins!]

"That's too little, buddy. The eyes of the Jade-Eyed Salmon can be used to cultivate a special Spirit Eye Technique; just one pair of eyes is worth a thousand spirit coins."

As the number of bullet comments increased, it attracted a lot of traffic and recommendations, and the popularity of the live stream instantly soared to over 300,000, remaining high in popularity.

"Host, do you sell these jade-eyed salmon?" a fan asked during the live stream.

"I'm sorry, I have no plans to sell it at the moment." Chen Beiwu carefully put away the Jade Eye Salmon.

This is not a spirit fish obtained through cheating.

Before he could even bait the golden egg, a jade-eyed salmon took the bait.

Therefore, it is clear that as long as he does not use the Nine Breaths Qi Absorption Divine Power to transform all the luck within the Nine Breaths Chaos into fortuitous encounters, he will not catch any strange corpses.

"Okay." Without pressuring me, I pointed my phone screen at the strange fish in the tank: "Host, can you figure out what's going on with this fish?"

Upon seeing the strange fish's appearance, Chen Beiwu's pupils contracted slightly, and a smile appeared on his face: "Brother, what did you just say?"

"Host, can you figure out what's going on with this strange fish?" a fan asked curiously.

“No, the previous sentence,” Chen Beiwu reminded him.

"Host, do you sell this jade-eyed salmon?" a fan asked hesitantly.

"I'm not selling, I'm only trading," Chen Beiwu suggested. "Brother, why don't you trade fish with the streamer?"
