Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 166 Qi Refining Level 12

Three months later.

A secluded dwelling by the water and moon.

A handsome young man dressed in a Taoist robe sat cross-legged on a futon, cultivating, his sleeves fluttering even without wind.

Beside the young man, a golden-scaled creature with shimmering golden scales continuously exhaled and exhaled spiritual energy.

Each time it opens its mouth, the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth within the cave transforms into a hazy white mist that continuously flows into its mouth.

With the golden egg by his side, Chen Beiwu could multitask, simultaneously practicing the Myriad Laws Returning to the Flow Jianmu Heavenly Book and the Seven Revolutions Qi Cultivation Method.

"Crash!"

As the abundant spiritual energy continuously flowed into his dantian, Chen Bei's martial qi sea condensed another drop of liquid mana, bringing the total to eight drops.

This time, we will definitely succeed!

Realizing the time had come, Chen Beiwu no longer hesitated. Following the instructions of the cultivation method, he mobilized the liquid mana in his dantian and began to break through the hidden meridians of the twelve earthly branches.

The twelve earthly branches of the human body correspond to the time of day and the hours of the day. They are hidden in the gaps between bones and organs.

These hidden pulses are the Zi pulse, Chou pulse, Yin pulse, Mao pulse, Chen pulse, Si pulse, Wu pulse, Wei pulse, Shen pulse, You pulse, Xu pulse, and Hai pulse.

Every time a cultivator circulates the Qi Refining Technique seven times to open up a meridian, the amount of magical power that can be stored in the Dantian Qi Sea can double, and can even compress and liquefy the Qi Refining magical power into Foundation Establishment magical power.

Getting started with the Seven Cycles of Qi Cultivation is quite simple, but opening the six meridians and comprehending the changes in liquid magical power is the most difficult stage.

Chen Beiwu only found out after asking Senior Sister Yun.

Even for a cultivator with a Heavenly Spiritual Root from a sect, it would take at least five years to achieve this.

Breaking through the nine meridians and condensing nine drops of liquid magical power signifies the minor success of the cultivation technique.

Without abundant resources to aid cultivation, it generally takes ten years to achieve any success in Qi cultivation.

When all twelve hidden meridians of the Earthly Branches are connected, the ultimate circulation of magical power is completed, signifying the mastery of the technique. One can then advance to the twelfth level of Qi Refining and obtain magical power comparable to that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

According to the sect's records, the fastest Qi Refining cultivator to complete this step took a year.

However, a single moment of enlightenment is equivalent to more than ten years of arduous practice!

Because the Myriad Laws Return to the Flow Jianmu Heavenly Book had entered the Qi Refining Transcendence Realm ahead of time, it helped Chen Beiwu condense three drops of liquid magic power early on.

He overtook others within a month, cultivating the Seven Revolutions Qi Refining Method to the minor completion level. All he lacked was the eight drops of liquid mana that required time to accumulate.

Therefore, Chen Beiwu did not hesitate to go into seclusion and spent a lot of spiritual energy to buy Spirit Nourishing Pills, so as to condense enough liquid mana to break through the realm in the shortest possible time.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

As twelve dark golden veins, like living creatures, appeared on Chen Beiwu's skin, constantly moving and devouring the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, a spiritual energy vortex more than three zhang long suddenly collapsed above his head.

At the same time, the spirit of Hongmu within Chen Beiwu's body also shone with unprecedented brilliance.

"The Meridian of Midnight and Noon, like grasping Yin and Yang. Twelve levels of Qi Refining, accomplished!"

Chen Beiwu opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of stale air, and carefully sensed the changes in his dantian.

Before completing the ultimate cycle of magical power, the liquid magical power in his dantian would dissipate after use, requiring a significant amount of time and energy to condense it again.

But it's different now.

Even if he were to unleash a single drop of liquid mana, producing a strike comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he would only need to sit in meditation for a period of time to quickly restore the liquid mana lost in his dantian.

Aside from not being able to last as long, how am I any different from a Foundation Establishment cultivator now?

Feeling the incredibly pure liquid magic power within his body, Chen Beiwu clenched his fist, a confident expression on his face.

The only thing that Chen Beiwu found regrettable was that even though his strength had increased dramatically after advancing to the twelfth level of Qi Refining using the Seven Revolutions Qi Refining Method, he still couldn't sense the opportunity to advance to the twelfth level of Flawless Qi Refining in the Heavenly Book.

Clearly, the twelve levels of Qi Refining in the Southern Wilderness are not the same concept as the twelve levels of Qi Refining in the Immortal Alliance.

'It seems I still have to exchange for the sect's secret technique, the Heavenly Evolution Reincarnation Technique,' Chen Beiwu thought to himself.

The Heavenly Evolution Revolving Technique is extremely difficult to cultivate, costing a whopping 15000 contribution points to exchange for. Even Senior Sister Yun, after trying to comprehend it, found it too difficult and decisively chose to give up. Even Chen Beiwu, who prided himself on his intelligence and excellent comprehension, lacked complete confidence in comprehending it.

But in order to find an opportunity when he had no time to practice his Qi, he had to give it a try.

"Gulu."

Jin Dan collapsed to the ground, looking somewhat dejected.

Even though it gained some of Chen Beiwu's newfound power through the feedback from the Covenant, the deficit within its body still couldn't be fully replenished.

"Thank you for your hard work." Chen Beiwu rubbed Jin Dan's head.

Without the Golden Egg's full assistance, even if he kept taking Spirit Nourishing Pills, it would still take him a year to cultivate the Seven Revolutions Heavenly Cycle Technique to the Great Perfection level.

By then, the college entrance exam will be over, and it will be too late.

"Gulu."

Golden Egg shook his head, indicating that he was fine and would recover after some rest.

"Three months have passed, and Senior Sister should have already refined the Blood-Calling Pill." Chen Beiwu picked up the golden egg.

Blood-Calling Pills are too rare; even Senior Sister Wan'er doesn't have any in stock.

Having no other choice, he had to ask his senior sister to refine it.

The date he had arranged with his senior sister was the day after tomorrow.

Upon hearing this, Jin Dan's eyes lit up.

Once it obtains the Blood Awakening Pill, it can begin its advancement to the second realm.

'We've been in seclusion for so long, we should go back to the Immortal Alliance.' Chen Beiwu thought to himself.

If he remembers the date correctly, the college entrance examination results should have been released two months ago.

……

"Why aren't they out yet?" Chen Dong sighed.

He was excited for a whole day and night after learning about Chen Beiwu's college entrance examination results.

Two months later, the son was still in seclusion, practicing his spiritual cultivation.

'Does this kid not care about his college entrance exam scores at all?' Chen Dong wondered.

He didn't close his eyes all night in order to find out his son's college entrance exam results as soon as possible.

Huang Xiaoling glanced at her husband: "You can apply for college anytime, what's the rush?"

Just then, Chen Beiwu pushed open the door and came down from the second-floor training room.

"Son, do you know how many points you got on the test?" Chen Dong laughed heartily.

"790 points?" Chen Beiwu asked curiously.

"Not only that." Chen Dong smiled with satisfaction. "You're third in Yuankong County this year, scoring a whopping 807 points!"

Chen Beiwu was a little surprised.

He was given a big question for nothing, yet he still managed to score 807 points.

"Which immortal sect do you plan to apply to?" Huang Xiaoling asked with curiosity.

"My first choice is the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect, and my second choice is the Jade Floss Immortal Sect," Chen Beiwu pondered.

The Bixiao Immortal Sect is most famous for its array formation system. In the latest ranking of the thirteen immortal sects announced by the Immortal Alliance, the Bixiao Immortal Sect ranks sixth, making it a dream sect for cultivators with water and wood elemental roots.

Considering the importance of the compatibility of spiritual root attributes and the difficulty of obtaining subsequent cultivation techniques from the Myriad Laws Return to the Flow of the Jianmu Heavenly Book, Chen Beiwu felt that the Bixiao Immortal Sect was a good choice.

After all, when applying to a celestial sect, one shouldn't blindly pursue rankings; suitability is the most important thing!
Jade Floss Immortal Sect ranks fifth among the Thirteen Immortal Sects, slightly higher than Azure Cloud Immortal Sect.

The most famous is the talisman system, a sacred place in the hearts of cultivators with water and ice spiritual roots, and also Chen Beiwu's alternative target.
