Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 257 The Secret Record of Carrying the Carriage
"Thanks a lot."

Chen Beiwu took out a Qingyun Pill and swallowed it, then couldn't help but reach out and pat Tie Dan's head.

Even after a year apart, Tie Dan's personality remained as sincere as when they first met.

"Gulu."

Golden Egg flashed and wrapped itself around Iron Egg, patting the latter's head with its tail.

Traitors are traitors.

Having not seen it for a while, to be honest, it really missed the existence of Tie Dan.

"I have met Daozi."

Upon seeing this, Hall Master Sun's eyes flickered slightly, and he led the alchemists from the Alchemy Hall behind him to bow in unison.

"No need to be polite."

Chen Beiwu waved his hand, signaling the alchemists in the hall to perform their respective duties.

He then looked at Hall Master Sun and asked, "Is Senior Sister in the hall now?"

"Yes, I am." Master Sun took the initiative to lead the way.

After bypassing three flaming alchemy furnaces and passing through two medicine sheds, Hall Master Sun stopped in the deputy hall master's alchemy room.

"Wang Wang."

Iron Egg charged forward as if it were nothing out of the ordinary, pressing its right claw against the Taotie pattern on the left side of the gate.

"Buzz!"

The door opened, revealing a petite figure inside the alchemy room.

"Oh, Junior Brother Chen, you're here too."

Li Wan'er turned to look at Chen Beiwu while her fingers flew across the page, continuously casting incantations into the alchemy furnace, completely ignoring the presence of Hall Master Sun.

Hall Master Sun wasn't surprised; he was already used to the Vice Hall Master's arrogance. After silently bowing, he took the initiative to step back, leaving the space to Daozi and the Vice Hall Master.

"Junior brother, please wait a moment."

After speaking, Li Wan'er changed her hand seals, and the nine holes of the alchemy furnace in front of her simultaneously spewed out spiritual energy of the five elements with different attributes, as if a dragon's roar was heard.

"Give it to me!"

Senior Sister Wan'er gave a soft shout, and the lid of the alchemy furnace rose completely.

Two streaks of light shot out like living things, emitting clear and melodious sounds, and then landed on the mutton-fat jade plate in front of her.

Only when the aura of Danxia filled the plate did the two streams of light reveal three Danxia patterns and a brown-gold Danxia coat.

"This is a third-tier precious pill, a three-turn Qi Yuan pill." Chen Beiwu's eyes lit up, and he felt even more confident about this trip.

"Junior brother, congratulations on becoming the sect's Dao Child."

Li Wan'er looked at Chen Beiwu, her heart filled with emotion.

In just four or five years, Junior Brother Chen went from a Qi Refining cultivator who had just entered the sect to a Daoist disciple of the sect, and his status and position were even higher than hers.

As for strength?

As Li Wan'er carefully sensed the changes in Chen's aura, she felt a mix of emotions.

In order to form a top-grade Golden Core, she remained at the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm for a full thirty years before she finally glimpsed the possibility of condensing a second-grade Golden Core, the Longevity Golden Core.

However, she could actually sense a trace of the Five Directions and Five Elders Taiyi Pill Forging Method in Junior Brother Chen.

Without a doubt, Junior Brother Chen has met the sect's patriarch and received guidance from the Nascent Soul patriarch. It is not a pipe dream for him to surpass her and forge the supreme first-grade Golden Core [Taiyi Golden Core] in the future.

"Senior sister, I'm here to ask you for a favor." After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chen Beiwu revealed his purpose.

"Why are you being so polite with me, junior brother? Just tell me what's on your mind."

Li Wan'er patted her chest, then grabbed Chen Beiwu's arm, speaking in a friendly tone.

"I would like to ask my senior sister for help in refining a top-grade third-tier precious pill, the [Transformation Dragon Pill]," Chen Beiwu said.

In order to successfully form the Golden Core of the Venerable Title, Chen Beiwu must make thorough preparations.

Even after he has mastered the Five Directions and Five Elders Taiyi Pill Forging Method, he is confident that he can organize the Five Elements and forge the Five Elements Treasure Light on his own.

The reason is simple: to seek stability.

After all, being able to forge the Five Elements Treasure Light on one's own is a different matter from forging it without the help of the Five Qi Vine.

The former was a helpless act of failing to obtain the Five Qi Vine through a contract, while the latter was an arrogant and conceited act.

If he wants to subdue the Five Qi Vine, he must go deep into the Jade Purity Mountains and undergo life-and-death trials that are unimaginable to ordinary Immortal Alliance cultivators, in order to prove his strength, temperament and Dao heart.

Before his cultivation level reached the Foundation Establishment limit and his strength could not advance any further, Chen Beiwu was unwilling to waste his precious quota and hastily entered the depths of the Yuqing Mountains to search for the Five Qi Vine.

"The Transformation Pill?"

Li Wan'er looked troubled. "Junior brother, it's not that I'm unwilling to help you, but the most important ingredient for refining the Dragon Transformation Pill is the Blood Dragon Ginseng."

The recipe for the Metamorphosis Dragon Pill is inherited from the ancient Dragon Taming Sect. It was used by the Dragon Taming Sect cultivators to cultivate the descendants of dragons and purify their dragon blood.

However, the effects of the Metamorphosis Dragon Pill are too violent, requiring the use of a thousand-year-old Blood Dragon Ginseng as the main ingredient to suppress its side effects. It cannot be replaced by other precious medicines, otherwise it will also be a deadly poison pill.

Blood Dragon Ginseng is an extremely rare, top-grade third-rank medicinal herb that grows only in places where dragons and serpents fall, and takes a thousand years to fully mature.

Make bricks without straw.

Such rare and precious medicines are not even kept in the Xuanji Hall of the sect, so she wanted to help but was powerless to do so.

"Senior sister, I happen to have a Blood Dragon Ginseng here."

A faint light flashed in Chen Beiwu's storage ring, and a Blood Dragon Ginseng with a crimson bark and gold patterns, and five holes at its top, came into Wan'er's view.

"This is the reward for my senior sister's hard work in refining the pills."

Chen Beiwu flipped his hand and took out another Moon Soul Fungus, which he presented.

Upon seeing the Moon Soul Mushroom, Li Wan'er paused, her eyes showing surprise.

The Moon Soul Mushroom grows in an extremely yin place, absorbing the essence of the moon for a thousand years to form; it is a third-tier yin-attribute treasure.

This treasure is cold in nature but does not harm the foundation. It can neutralize the burden on the meridians caused by the "Heaven and Earth Revolving Longevity Scripture" due to the "refining through the circulatory cycle", stabilize the consciousness, and break the illusion of communication between heaven and man. It is of great use to her.

"Hehe, thanks for the Moon Soul Mushroom, Junior Brother."

Li Wan'er didn't stand on ceremony. She put away the Moon Soul Herb, took Chen Beiwu's arm with both hands, and said affectionately:
“Researching the formula for the Transformation Dragon Pill will take some time. Junior brother, give me two years, and I will definitely be able to refine a batch of Transformation Dragon Pills by then.”

"Then I'll leave it to you, Senior Sister." Chen Beiwu felt relieved.

Two years is just the right amount of time to prepare and perfect the dragon-walking ceremony for the golden egg.

……

Southern Wilderness, a desolate wilderness.

'Damn it, how could my luck be so bad? I even ran into a Golden Core cultivator from the Heavy Metal Sect!'

Inside the simple cave dwelling, Shu You slowly opened her eyes, her face extremely pale.

Fortune cannot be foreseen.

Even if she had a fortuitous encounter and cultivated the ancient cultivation technique "Mysterious Heaven's Mandate of Fortune and Qi Absorption for Longevity," which allowed her to borrow fortune to achieve enlightenment and avoid calamities to attain immortality, she still could not see the fortune of others.

However, Shu You was certain of one thing: Chen Zigui was a Daoist disciple of the Mirror Moon Sect, an absolutely peerless genius with boundless fortune, and it was impossible for him to be unable to suppress the backlash of the "Mysterious Heaven's Mandate of Fortune and Qi Absorption for Longevity Secret Record".

Strangely, despite having Daozi's protection, the calamity she faced this time was not only not lessened, but was even more terrifying than before, and she almost lost her life on the spot.

'Strange, where exactly is the problem?' Shu You's mind raced.

Even Senior Sister Jiang Yuyan was able to suppress the backlash of her cultivation technique, allowing her to successfully cultivate to the late Foundation Establishment stage.

She joined the Daoist's sect and used the "Secret Record of Longevity Through the Qi of the Mysterious Heaven" to borrow the Daoist's fortune for protection. She shouldn't have encountered such a great calamity, almost exhausting all her trump cards.

This didn't align with her understanding of her own cultivation method at all. 'Could it be that the Daoist's luck is too strong, causing me to suffer a backlash from it?' Shu You frowned slightly, finally coming up with only this possibility.

Fortunately, she has survived this major calamity, and her chances of forming a core in the future will increase by another 20%.

As for the "Secret Record of Longevity through Qi Absorption and Transmission of the Mysterious Heaven," Shu You hesitated for a moment before deciding to temporarily stop practicing it to avoid any further accidents.

'Alright, now I need to think carefully about how to report back!'

Shu You exhaled a breath of stale air, her eyes deep and thoughtful.

Her first mission to the Dao Child ended in failure. Even if she had some unexpected gains, it would be difficult for her to make up for her mistakes and gain the Dao Child's trust.

……

Three days later, Shu You arrived at the sect smoothly and went straight to Shuiyue Peak where Daozi was located.

"You are hurt?"

Seeing Shu You's unsteady breathing, Chen Beiwu raised an eyebrow.

After not seeing him for a while, why was his newly recruited follower covered in a mass of scarlet ominous energy, giving him the appearance of an imminent death?

"Please forgive me, Daozi."

Shu You knelt on one knee, her face pale.

To make Daozi understand that she had done her best in this mission and almost perished, Shuyou deliberately did not tidy her clothes, but instead visited him wearing her tattered Daoist robe.

After listening to Shu You's account, Chen Beiwu finally understood what had happened.

It turns out that the person who attacked him back then was not from the Shen family, but a black glove under the Shen family, who has now defected to the traitorous elder.

The reason why Hua Buqi, an outer sect elder, betrayed the sect and caused the Jin Sect to fall was to seek a breakthrough with the Golden Elixir.

“Something’s not right. A mere Tier 3 mine, even if it’s a rare Void Gold Marrow mine, shouldn’t be worth the Heavy Gold Sect making such a fuss about.” Chen Beiwu’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Upon hearing this, Shu You hesitated.

"You can speak your mind." Chen Beiwu glanced at Shu You, while Jin Dan beside him also showed an interested expression.

Only Tie Dan lay prone on the ground, his eyes fixed on the alchemy jade slip that Chen Beiwu had brought from the Immortal Alliance.

It has completed its training and no longer needs to stay in the alchemy hall every day.

If Master Wan'er needs a pill refiner to watch the fire, she will inform her master in advance.

"The Golden Body of Ten Thousand Calamities is the supreme cultivation technique of the Heavy Metal Sect. It is one of the highest inheritances of the ancient body cultivation lineage. It is said to be 'indestructible through ten thousand calamities and forged into a golden body to prove the Dao.' Its cultivation conditions are extremely harsh."

At this point, Shu You paused slightly: "Even though there are many geniuses in the Chongjin Sect, very few cultivators can even begin to cultivate the Ten Thousand Tribulations Golden Body. Most of them need to rely on external aids."

"And the precious material, Void Golden Marrow, is precisely the essential element for cultivating the Myriad Tribulations Golden Body and forging the Glazed Golden Body."

Chen Beiwu nodded slightly.

If that's the case, it makes sense, but he still feels something is off.

Do you think it's possible?

Chen Beiwu raised his eyes slightly and looked at Shu You, "The mineral veins discovered in the Biyuan Mountains are not only Void Gold Marrow, but also contain fourth-order Xuan ore [Void Profound Gold Marrow] deeper inside the veins."

Upon hearing this, Shu You's expression changed slightly.

If the Void Golden Marrow is an essential item for Golden Core cultivators of the Heavy Gold Sect to forge a Glazed Golden Body, then the Void Profound Golden Marrow is an essential item for Nascent Soul Ancestors to forge an Indestructible Golden Body.

Since it concerns the interests of Nascent Soul Ancestors, it's no wonder that the Heavy Gold Sect was willing to risk serious consequences by secretly seizing the Mirror Moon Sect's mines.

"Don't take it to heart, this is just my guess." Chen Beiwu smiled, got up and prepared to go to the Alchemy Hall to visit the Grand Elder.

With the patriarch in seclusion and the position of sect leader undecided, the Grand Elder is the powerful figure who holds the reins of the Mirror Moon Sect.

Whether the sect should fight or make peace is a decision that the Grand Elder must make.

Before leaving the cave, Chen Beiwu paused and deliberately reminded Shu You, "A great battle is about to begin. During this time, you'd better stay in the sect to cultivate and reduce your outings."

"Yes." Shu You nodded.

Even if Daozi didn't say anything, she planned to stay in the sect and cultivate in seclusion, striving to break through to the peak of Foundation Establishment.

……

The Alchemy Hall, the main hall.

"Buzz!"

The palace doors opened silently, releasing a faint scent of sandalwood.

"come in."

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu stepped inside.

The main hall was spacious and deep, with portraits of past patriarchs hanging on each of the four walls.

In the center of the main hall, an elderly woman with white hair and beard was resting with her eyes closed.

This person is none other than Zheng Qianwei, the Grand Elder of the Mirror Moon Sect, a fourth-rank low-grade alchemist who pioneered the 'Cold Nature Alchemy Method', and a Profound Pill True Person.

"Daozi, what's the matter that you're in such a hurry?" Master Zheng's voice was gentle, yet carried an undeniable authority.

Without delay, Chen Beiwu revealed everything about the third-tier treasure mine hidden in the Biyuan Mountains and the rebellion of the outer sect elders.

To be honest, Chen Beiwu preferred to retreat into seclusion and cultivate, learning the profound methods of the Immortal Alliance, rather than getting involved in these trivial matters.

But things in this world can't always go as planned.

Now that Chen Beiwu is a Daoist disciple of the sect, he naturally needs to shoulder the responsibilities of a Daoist disciple and consider the interests of the sect.

"I understand. Let's prepare for war," Master Zheng said calmly.

The Mountain Annihilation Realm belongs to the Mirror Moon Sect, and the mineral veins nurtured by the Biyuan Mountains naturally also belong to the sect.

Since the Chongjin Sect dared to take the initiative and intervene, the sect must deliver a heavy blow.

Otherwise, the sect would suffer a great loss of face, and how would cultivators at the Earthly Realm view the Mirror Moon Sect?
"How does Daozi intend to deal with the Shen family of Yunhai?" Master Zheng looked up at Chen Beiwu and asked tentatively.

“The Shen family of Yunhai, as the controllers of Biyuan Market, bears responsibility for inadequate oversight and should be severely punished,” Chen Beiwu said.

Without the Shen family backing him up, how could Feng Buxiu, the manager of Wanfa Pavilion, have dared to intercept and kill cultivators in the market, let alone collude with a traitorous outer sect elder?

To put it bluntly, in Chen Beiwu's eyes, the inaction of the Shen family in Yunhai was also a form of indulgence.

Moreover, it's impossible for the Shen family, being local bigwigs, to be completely unaware of anything.

Master Zheng nodded slightly and waved his sleeve.

"Very good. Pass on my order: exterminate the three clans of the Shen family in Yunhai and strip three generations of Shen family members of their eligibility to join the clan."

"After Master Duobao finished his inspection and returned to his sect, he led the true disciples of the Jingyue, Huanhai, and Hansui lineages, each leading elite Foundation Establishment cultivators from the inner sect, to conquer the Chongjin Sect and reclaim the Kongjinsui mine."

"The Nine Palaces True Man is ordered to lead the disciples of the Yuan Ting, Liu Shang, and Kong Quan lineages, along with the cultivators of the Array Hall, to set up a third-order array centered on the Bi Yuan Mountains to cut off the retreat and support of the Chong Jin Sect cultivators."

"Those who achieve outstanding results in this battle will be richly rewarded by the sect."

As soon as Master Zheng finished speaking, a team of Foundation Establishment cultivators hidden in the shadows appeared instantly to receive the order, and then disappeared.

"Is Daozi interested in this great battle?" Master Zheng looked at Chen Beiwu through the wisps of smoke rising from the incense burner.

"Of course, I will do it without hesitation," Chen Beiwu said firmly, his eyes unwavering.

Master Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling quite satisfied.

Chen Zi'ang possesses exceptional talent and is devoted to his sect. Although he harbors some secrets, they are not of great importance; otherwise, the patriarch would not have appointed him as the Dao Child.

It's no exaggeration to say that the reason Chen Zi'ang didn't get the Golden Elixir immediately was simply because he lacked some qualifications.

This great battle will allow Chen Beiwu to establish his reputation as the Daoist Master of Mirror Moon and solidify his position as Daoist Master.
