Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 179 Breaking Through Calamity Golden Pill
Bixiao Immortal Sect, outside the blessed land, a private banquet under the green pines.

Chen Beiwu's eyelids twitched as he looked at the expensive dishes on the menu.

Chen Beiwu thought that prices in Bixiao City were already high enough, but the prices in the Bixiao Immortal Sect's canteen were even more outrageous. A single dish could cost tens of spirit yuan, equivalent to several first-grade high-quality rare pills.

Good heavens, the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect is treating them like fat pigs to be slaughtered!
No wonder the cultivators from Yuankong County didn't rush into a state capital like Bixiao City all at once.

Aside from not being able to afford train tickets, the bigger reason is probably the inability to survive. They can't even save up for their spiritual practice, so it's better to develop their careers back in their hometown.

After ordering a plate of lion-head goose, Chen Beiwu looked around the dining hall and noticed that the Immortal Alliance candidates coming and going all had at least green first-tier luck, with a few candidates occasionally appearing with third-tier orange luck.

"Buzz!"

Three messages popped up on Chen Beiwu's screen: one from his parents, one from Xu Ziqing, and the last from Xu Lingling.

Chen Beiwu first clicked on Ms. Huang Xiaoling's message.

"Son, I heard the re-examination was very difficult this time, and many people failed..."

Noticing his parents' worries, Chen Beiwu replied with a hint of smugness: "A mere retest? How could it possibly be difficult for me? I've passed it smoothly and should get a good evaluation."

Chen Beiwu lowered his eyes slightly as he opened Xu Ziqing's message.

Xu Ziqing wasn't very lucky.

Because she was not good at illusions and disguises, she did not infiltrate the higher-ups of Ugly Ape Star. Instead, she found a desolate mountain wilderness to hide her tracks, intending to survive until the end of her one-month survival period.

As a result, on the twenty-fifth day, the Ugly Ape's high command went mad and launched tens of thousands of three-phase missiles at the world. Xu Ziqing, who was hiding in the mountains to cultivate, could not escape this nuclear attack.

To avoid perishing in the Divine Void Realm and suffering severe injuries that would prevent her from participating in the final test, Xu Ziqing chose to commit suicide in advance, which significantly lowered her evaluation in the retest.

'What a pity.' Chen Beiwu sighed inwardly.

The final exam of the Immortal Alliance is more difficult than the re-examination.

Xu Ziqing's cultivation level was only at the ninth level of Qi Refining. She failed the retest and did not receive a high evaluation, making it difficult for her to pass the entrance exam for the Thirteen Immortal Sects.

Thinking of this, Chen Beiwu opened Xu Lingling's messages again.

This is good news.

When he participated in the Immortal Alliance re-examination, Xu Lingling successfully gained the recognition of the Tianyan Immortal Sect's exclusive spirit beast, the Tianyan Tiger, and passed the special recruitment smoothly.

'More than a decade of hard study has proven insufficient compared to the efforts of the younger generation!'

Despite his inner complaints, Chen Beiwu couldn't hide the smile on his face.

After replying to all the messages, Chen Beiwu opened the official website of the Immortal Alliance.

Unsurprisingly, today's trending topics are all related to the Immortal Alliance's re-examination.

Chen Beiwu randomly clicked on a trending topic, and the comments were mostly full of complaints, all criticizing how terrible the Immortal Alliance retest was.

If these test takers cause trouble and go on a killing spree, they'll be bombed with nuclear weapons!

Even if you don't cause trouble and choose to live in seclusion, you'll still be bombed by nuclear weapons, and your performance evaluation will be lowered.

Because the second round of testing assesses not only survival skills, but also performance during the mission, simply trying to survive will not earn a high evaluation.

To achieve a Class A rating, candidates must kill high-ranking members of the Ugly Ape faction without dying from a nuclear bomb. This is undoubtedly a difficult task, and very few candidates are able to complete it.

"Couldn't you use soul-searching and disguise to infiltrate the upper echelons of the Ugly Ape clan?" someone objected, believing that this year's candidates were too weak. Nuclear weapons may be powerful, but if the candidates acted cautiously, it would be easy to infiltrate the Ugly Ape's upper echelons, and even control them all.

"Hehe, why don't you try? There are dozens of quantum radar satellites outside Ugly Ape Star with a detection range of up to 1500 million kilometers. They can ignore illusions and lock onto your location the moment you arrive on Ugly Ape Star. You think you can fake one and let me see?" This comment received millions of likes.

"Even if you successfully impersonate a high-ranking ape, it won't matter. The quantum radar satellite can use big data to predict your movements."

Once you leave the military base and act in ways that contradict the usual logic of the Ugly Apes, radar satellites will treat you as a key monitoring target. Don't ask me how I know! This comment received hundreds of thousands of likes.

"If you're bad, practice more! A madman in the first examination hall of the Great Luo Immortal Sect successfully infiltrated the upper echelons of the ape race, controlled the military power of the entire Ugly Ape Star, launched all the nuclear missiles to bombard the surface, and gave a global speech while he was at it, which also killed me!"

This comment received the most likes, totaling tens of millions.

Just as Chen Beiwu was engrossed in browsing comments, a plate of delicious-looking lion-head goose was placed on his table, followed by six other dishes that looked very expensive.

"I only ordered one plate of lion head goose, did you send me the wrong dish?" Chen Beiwu looked up, his pupils shrinking slightly.

The person who arrived had a handsome face, golden eyebrows, a tall and slender figure, and a golden aura on his head, making him look quite extraordinary and not at all like a food delivery waiter.

"Can we share a table and have a meal together?" Zhao Wuchen smiled.

Chen Beiwu nodded and did not refuse.

There were plenty of empty tables around, so it was clear the other person had something to ask him.

Halfway through the meal, the man with the gold pattern suddenly took out a bottle of extremely fragrant rice wine.

Seeing Chen Beiwu's gaze, Zhao Wuchen said, "This is Qinghezui, a second-tier spirit wine made from Qingxing grapes. Would you like a cup?"

Chen Beiwu shook his head.

He dared not drink alcohol from a stranger, especially since this stranger seemed unusual.

Ignoring Chen Beiwu's refusal, Zhao Wuchen took a few sips of wine and went straight to the point: "Do you want to join the Bixiao Immortal Sect?"

"Of course I want to," Chen Beiwu said earnestly.

This is the outer examination hall of the Bixiao Immortal Sect's blessed land. Nine out of ten candidates here want to enter the Bixiao Immortal Sect.

Zhao Wuchen smiled slightly; the other party's answer was not unexpected: "I can give you a guaranteed admission spot. Do you want to sign an admission contract?"

Chen Beiwu's eyes showed surprise.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Beiwu shook his head and declined: "I'm sorry, but I'd rather participate in the Immortal Alliance Final Trial to test my own limits than be recommended for admission."

Although the Bixiao Immortal Sect is good, it cannot compare to the Taiyin Grotto Heaven, one of the Five Great Grotto Heavens.

If he performs exceptionally well in the final trial of the Immortal Alliance, he might attract the interest of the Five Great Grotto Heavens.

Even though the probability was extremely low, Chen Beiwu wanted to give it a try.

Zhao Wuchen's eyes narrowed slightly as he offered his price: "If you are willing to join the Bixiao Immortal Sect, I can promise you that you can obtain a Breaking Calamity Golden Pill within a hundred years."

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly regained his composure: "Sorry, I'd like to try again."

“My promise is valid at any time. Here is my contact information.” Zhao Wuchen didn’t say anything more, but took out a business card, placed it on the table, and then got up and left.

Do the Thirteen Immortal Sects care about cultivation geniuses?
I care, but I don't care at all!
