Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 274 Full of Harvests
"Please ask the two senior sisters to help with today's matter."

Chen Beiwu had barely opened his mouth, before he could finish speaking, when Senior Sister Zhu Qiong's expression hardened, and she said seriously:
"Don't worry, junior brother, I didn't see anything today."

Senior Sister Yun, whose lips were black, nodded in agreement: "Senior Sister is right. There are no golden-armored corpses in the Corpse Refining Ground. There are only a group of silver-armored corpses."

At this point, Yun Yishu paused slightly, glancing at her severed arm: "I was too careless and fell into a trap set by a third-order formation, which is why I lost an arm."

Chen Beiwu: “…”

Before revealing his fourth-order Xuanlu, Chen Beiwu had already prepared a set of explanations.

For example, there are many reasons such as 'the fourth-order Xuanlu involves sect secrets and cannot be passed on to outsiders'.

As it turned out, the two senior female students had already filled in the blanks in their own minds, without him having to explain.

Seeing that Chen Beiwu remained silent, Yun Yishu assumed that her junior brother still had concerns, so she immediately spoke up and made a vow of Dao heart.

'Is it necessary to make such a fuss?' Zhu Qiong glanced at Junior Sister Yun.

Junior Brother Chen is a disciple of the sect and is highly valued by the sect. It is normal for the patriarch to give him a fourth-order Xuanlu as a favor.

Wait a minute, if Junior Brother Chen becomes a Dao Child, he will likely become a thorn in the side of the other four major sects.

If news of the fourth-tier Xuan Talisman spreads, Junior Brother Chen's trump card will be revealed, which will undoubtedly greatly reduce his safety.

'Junior Sister Yun is indeed intelligent and acts with caution.'

Realizing what had happened, Zhu Qiong followed Yun Yishu closely and made a vow to keep today's events a secret.

Seeing that his two senior sisters were so understanding, Chen Beiwu was happy to go along with it and bowed slightly, saying, "Thank you for your understanding, senior sisters."

The more you say, the more mistakes you make.

It's undoubtedly a good thing that he doesn't even need to say the excuse he's prepared, as this will expose fewer flaws.

The only thing that pained Chen Beiwu was that the Jade Purity Demon Subduing Talisman could only be used three times.

Each use reduces the chances of using it; there are only two uses left.

Fortunately, he didn't lose too much.

Chen Beiwu's gaze fell on the golden armor corpse pill and storage ring in his palm, and he suddenly sensed something was wrong.

Ordinary golden-armored corpse pills are no bigger than a pigeon egg, dark in color, with spider web-like patterns.

The corpse pill in his hand was as large as a dragon's eye, entirely made of dark gold, with countless golden threads flowing around it, containing a strong vitality.

According to the "Three Records of Corpse Scripture", the Golden Armor Corpse Pill is wrapped in corpse evil on the outside, with the color of thick ink and containing yin poison on the inside. It can be refined into a third-level yin evil magic weapon. It cannot be ingested or cultivated, otherwise it will surely cause backlash or even sudden death.

However, the Golden Armor Corpse King Pill is different; it originates from the Golden Armor Corpse King.

Its entire body is black gold, with yin on the outside and yang on the inside, and four golden threads that secretly correspond to the number of death and rebirth.

If a cultivator consumes it, their lifespan can be extended by five hundred years. If a body cultivator consumes it, their physical body can be tempered to the fourth rank. When combined with the refining process of beasts, it can defy fate and change one's destiny.

'So that's how it is. Qian Buhuan also had a stroke of good fortune!' Chen Beiwu's eyes brightened slightly.

It should be noted that the Golden Armored Corpse is already one of the best among the Corpse Clan, and even Golden Core cultivators would have a headache and have to give way when they encounter it.

As the name suggests, the Golden Armored Corpse King can reign supreme among the corpse race and is a terrifying existence comparable to a Nascent Soul True Monarch of the human race.

According to the "Three Records of Corpse Scripture", the Golden Armor Corpse King has golden wings on its back and can move at will (equivalent to the Nascent Soul True Lord Xuan Tong shrinking the earth to an inch and being able to teleport thousands of miles in an instant).

Within a radius of a thousand feet, it forms a Corpse King Domain (which can cause the cultivators within the domain to have their mana stagnate and be unable to use external objects such as Dharma Bodies and magic treasures), and is not afraid of pure Yang magic treasures, nor is it a concern about the upper limit of lifespan.

With the help of the Golden Armor Corpse King Pill, it's no wonder that Qian Buhuan was able to overcome the three tribulations of Corpse Transformation, Yin Erosion, and Golden Fiend, becoming one of the best among the Golden Armor Corpses. This caused Uncle Yu to make a mistake in his deduction, almost causing them to perish here.

"Cough cough."

Just then, Senior Sister Yun coughed twice, and the black aura on her face became even thicker.

With a thought, Chen Beiwu drew the Cold Pool Spirit Sword behind him and gently scraped the surface of the Corpse King Pill.

"Sister, I'm offended."

Chen Beiwu lightly flicked the tip of his sword, applying all the scraped Corpse King Pill powder to Senior Sister Yun's wound.

"laugh!"

The next instant, a large amount of poisonous smoke gushed from Senior Sister Yun's wound, and beads of cold sweat slid down her forehead, clearly indicating that she was in extreme pain.

"Will this work?" Zhu Qiong asked softly.

"The ultimate death is life. The powder of the Golden Armor Corpse Pill can neutralize the evil energy of the corpse and is an excellent medicine to remove the poison of the corpse," Chen Beiwu explained.

Before long, the dark aura on Yun Yishu's face faded, and she suddenly coughed up a pool of black blood, her face regaining a rosy hue.

"Thank you very much, Zi'ang," Yun Yishu said gratefully.

Without the corrosive influence of the corpse's aura, her severed arm injury was nothing at all.

Upon returning to the sect, consuming a few high-grade second-tier spirit pills will allow the severed arm to regenerate.

"It's good that you're alright." Zhu Qiong, being a carefree person, didn't notice the change in how Yun Yishu addressed her, but Chen Beiwu did.

After fighting side by side this time, Senior Sister Yun seemed to feel closer to him and trust him more.

"Gulu!"

Golden Egg stared intently at Corpse King Pill, drool dripping from the corner of its mouth, its eyes filled with longing.

"Wang!"

Tie Dan reacted slightly better. His nostrils flared, his mouth opened slightly, and saliva dripped down like silk threads. Then he turned his head away, as if he was restraining his impulse.

'You two little rascals certainly know your stuff.'

With that thought, Chen Beiwu looked at his two senior sisters, took out the Corpse King Pill and his storage ring, and said, "As agreed beforehand, the spoils of this battle will be divided equally among the three of us, but..."

Before he could finish speaking, Senior Sister Zhu Qiong interrupted, "Junior Brother, there's no need to say more. The reason we were able to slay the Golden Armor Corpse in this battle was entirely due to your fourth-tier Xuanlu. Otherwise, even if the three of us joined forces, we might not have been able to escape unscathed."

"That's right, a fourth-order Xuanlu is priceless, and even a Nascent Soul True Monarch wouldn't easily take it out."

If we're talking about the distribution of credit in this battle, my junior brother alone should get 90% of it. My senior sister and I were just there to hold him back, so how could we possibly share the credit equally? Senior Sister Yun chimed in.

Zhu Qiong nodded, agreeing with Yun Yishu's statement.

A fourth-order Xuanlu is an extremely rare life-saving item, and even she is not qualified to possess it.

She wasn't exaggerating; all the legacies of this golden-armored corpse combined might not even be as valuable as a fourth-tier Xuan Scroll.

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu frowned slightly, wanting to suggest sharing some of the profits.

After all, Senior Sister Yun had already used two third-tier talismans and two transparent array plates to help out, which had caused her considerable losses.

But Senior Sister Yun raised her hand to stop her, and said seriously, "Zi'ang, there's no need to refuse. After all, we are fellow disciples, so there's no need to be so calculating."

She knew Zi'ang's temperament well.

Compared to the Golden Armor Corpse's legacy, Yun Yishu actually cared more about the favor she owed to Junior Brother Chen.

After all, Qian Buhuan must have spent a lot of his cultivation resources in his previous life to refine himself into a golden-armored corpse in order to switch to the path of corpse cultivation. It's hard to say how much legacy he can leave behind; he might even be destitute.

Senior Sister Zhu Qiong likely shared this view. The favor bestowed by the Daoist Master of the Mirror Moon Sect was no less valuable than a few third-tier magic treasures; in fact, its value would only increase over time.

"In that case, let's do as the two senior sisters say." Chen Beiwu nodded slightly, no longer dwelling on it.

One Golden Armor Corpse King Pill alone was enough for him to break even.

But since the two senior sisters are so modest, after he finishes calculating Qian Buhuan's inheritance, he can select a few cultivation resources from his storage ring that suit his senior sisters and send them out, which can be considered as mutual exchange.

Bringing it up now would be unwise and could damage the bond between fellow disciples.

……

After Senior Sister Yun finished recuperating and controlled her injuries, Chen Beiwu and his group entered the depths of the tomb to explore.

Without the control of the main array master, and with the information provided by the array-breaking jade slip, Chen Beiwu and his two companions encountered no obstacles along the way and quickly arrived at the core tomb chamber of the Heavenly Coffin Corpse Suppression Three Tribulations Formation.

Seventy-two black coffins were arranged in a ring around the golden coffin on the dome. Three purple talismans on the surface of the golden coffin were particularly eye-catching. They could continuously gather blood and evil energy and exude a strong aura.

'This golden coffin is actually a fourth-tier Xuan treasure!' Chen Beiwu and the other two exchanged glances, their expressions changing slightly.

It's actually quite easy to distinguish between Golden Elixir Magic Treasures and Fourth-Order Mystic Treasures.

The former possesses initial spirituality, but its strongest power can only be unleashed when limited by the magical power of a Golden Core cultivator.

The latter possesses unparalleled power and can even further nurture a spirit that carries the essence of heaven and earth, advancing to become a Heavenly Mysterious Treasure, capable of protecting its master and slaying enemies on its own.

Even without the control of a Nascent Soul True Monarch, the Tongtian Xuanbao can actively absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, unleashing combat power close to that of a Nascent Soul True Monarch, making it more than capable of suppressing ordinary Golden Core cultivators.

However, although the golden coffin in front of Chen Beiwu was a fourth-order Xuan treasure, it faintly exuded an aura of decay. Even the coffin lid had disappeared, which greatly reduced its power. It could barely be considered a half-order Xuan treasure, let alone comparable to a Tongtian Xuan treasure.

"Unfortunately, this Xuanjin coffin is of no use to my junior brother." Yun Yishu shook her head.

This type of fourth-tier mystic treasure is mostly used to refine evil corpses, not for fighting enemies; otherwise, Qian Buhuan wouldn't have left it here unused.

"It's not entirely useless. If we melt down this golden coffin and have Master forge it himself, perhaps we can create a powerful fourth-tier Xuanbao tailored to Junior Brother," Zhu Qiong commented.

Her father was a renowned fourth-tier weapon refiner within the sect, capable of refining a fourth-tier mystic treasure without a second thought.

However, the cost of forging a fourth-tier Xuanbao by his father was too high, and his junior brother might not be able to afford it.

"A fourth-tier Xuan treasure is a bit too far out of reach for me." Chen Beiwu wasn't particularly interested.

Yu Zhaohua chose the Devouring Sun and Moon Wheel because she possessed an innate Dao Body, and using her Dao Body could reveal a trace of the power of the Heavenly Mysterious Treasure.

However, Chen Beiwu is not an innate Dao body, so even with a fourth-tier Xuanbao in hand, he cannot unleash much power. It would be better to replace the golden coffin with more practical cultivation resources.

Next, Chen Beiwu and his two senior sisters searched the tomb thoroughly to make sure nothing was missed. They then left together, returned to Biyuan Market, and took the teleportation array back to the sect to receive the Grand Elder's reward.

That's right. Because Shu You discovered the Void Gold Marrow vein, Chen Beiwu reported it and was credited. In addition, he performed well in the war between the two sects, killing quite a few Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Moreover, together with his senior sister Zhu Qiong, he discovered the Heavy Gold Sect's array trap and restrained a Golden Core cultivator.

In this sect's evaluation of merits and rewards, Chen Beiwu's contributions ranked only below those of Master Duobao and Master Jiugong.

"Deputy Hall Master of the Formation Hall, 30,000 contribution points, and one Golden Palace Pill."

Upon hearing about Chen's reward, Zhu Qiong and Yun Yishu exchanged a glance, their eyes showing no surprise.

Ordinary disciples would never receive such a generous reward for a small-scale battle between two sects, but Junior Brother Chen was an exception.

To put it bluntly, during this major battle between the two sects, most of the insightful and intelligent disciples knew the thoughts of the sect leaders.

One objective was to retaliate against the Heavy Gold Sect and boost the sect's prestige, while another was to allow the Dao Child to accumulate experience and gain the respect of the masses.

If all goes well, once Junior Brother Chen successfully forms his core, he can become a main branch elder under the ancestor's arrangement, gradually becoming the most powerful contender for the current sect leader of the Mirror Moon Sect.

Chen Beiwu could feel the sect's kindness at this moment, but before leaving the Elder Hall, he also made a special request for credit for his subordinate Shu You.

"Shu You discovered the Chongjin Sect's conspiracy and made a great contribution, so he can be a true disciple."

Elder Zheng pondered for a moment, then gave Chen Beiwu some face.

Logically speaking, only Foundation Establishment cultivators who enter the top 100 of the Mirror Moon Ranking are qualified to become true disciples of a sect, but there are always exceptions.

Since Shu You is Daozi's person, it's not unreasonable to make an exception and grant her the status of a true disciple.

After leaving the Elder Hall, Chen Beiwu immediately went to the Xuanji Hall and spent 8,000 contribution points to exchange for a second-grade high-quality spiritual pill that could regenerate severed limbs.

He then spent 10,000 spirit yuan to exchange for a second-grade top-quality elixir that was beneficial to the "Samadhi Pure Yang Multi-Treasure Heart Lamp Crossing Calamity True Scripture," and then personally delivered it to Senior Sister Yun and Senior Sister Zhu.

After doing all this, Chen Beiwu finally had time to return to Shuiyue Secluded Residence.

"I have met Daozi."

Upon seeing Chen Beiwu appear, Shu You, who was waiting at the entrance of the cave, quickly stepped forward, gave a slight bow, and looked quite grateful.

She was well-informed, and the first thought that came to her mind when she learned that she had been promoted to a true disciple was to run to the Daoist to pledge her loyalty. She even had a slight idea of ​​offering him the "Secret Record of Xuan Tian Cheng Yun Na Qi Chang Sheng".

After hesitating for a moment, Shu You rejected her idea.

If Daozi is too greedy and feels that one secret method of fortune is not enough, and thinks that she is hiding something, and wants to seize more things related to fortune, then what difference is there between her and asking for trouble?

After much deliberation, Shu You decided to play it safe and follow Daozi for a few more years to understand his temperament before considering whether to offer him the Qi Luck Secret Technique.

"No need to come and thank me. Just work hard for me in the future, and I won't treat my own people badly."

Chen Beiwu nodded, his gaze barely registering as he swept his eyes over Shu You's head.

After some time apart, the crimson and black ominous aura on Shu You's body had dissipated considerably, but one or two traces of crimson ominous aura remained, revealing a somewhat ominous sign.

"By the way, I know a little about physiognomy. For your safety, you'd better not leave the sect for the next few years," Chen Beiwu reminded him.

No one is perfect.

Although Shu You was fond of women, he was very methodical in handling affairs, so Chen Beiwu didn't need to worry about the sect's affairs. He only needed to occasionally glance at some important documents.

If such a useful subordinate were to die by accident, it would be difficult for him to continue to have a leisurely life.

"Yes."

Shu You nodded earnestly, without a shred of doubt in her heart.

As a subordinate, she only needed to carry out Michiko's orders to the best of her ability.

Any objections or doubts will only affect how Michiko perceives her.

Watching Shu You's figure disappear, Chen Beiwu returned to his cave, activated the cave's grand formation, and summoned the Ten Directions Gate to return to the location of the Spirit Lake Corpse Refining Ground.

That's right. In order to prevent Senior Sister and Senior Sister Yun from discovering the anomaly of the Dragon Vein, Chen Beiwu deliberately launched a surprise attack instead of studying it directly at the time.

Deep inside the tomb.

A dog, a fish, and a human gaze at each other.

'The guard duty is entrusted to the two of you.'

As soon as Chen Beiwu finished speaking, his mind sank down, and his divine sense actively contacted the Nine Breaths Chaos in his heart, attempting to mobilize its power to seize the dragon vein's energy.
