Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 275 Golden Core Assets
Deep inside the tomb.

Chen Beiwu sat cross-legged at the dragon vein's hub, circulating his magical power.

Sensing that the Nine Breaths Chaos Treasure remained unmoved, seemingly too lazy to seize its fortune, Chen Beiwu hesitated for a moment, then activated the Nine Breaths Qi Absorption Divine Power to forcefully stimulate it.

"Roar!"

The next second, in Chen Beiwu's perception, the dragon vein energy around him manifested, forming a golden dragon phantom about ten feet long.

Unlike the Crimson Dragon of Fortune he had previously seized in the Biyuan Mountains, this Golden Dragon of Fortune was devoid of any spirit, with wisps of purplish-black foul energy writhing around its reverse scales.

'This dragon vein actually contains pure golden fortune, almost manifesting as a dragon. No wonder Qian Buhuan has his eye on it and chosen it as a place to refine corpses.' Chen Beiwu's heart stirred slightly, and he was very envious.

Although golden fortune is far less than that of the auspicious red dragon, it is still extremely rare and of high quality.

Since obtaining the treasure, Chen Beiwu has only accumulated three orange-colored luck (suspected to be at the third rank) using the Nine Breaths Qi Absorption Divine Power.

Even though his cultivation level, magical power, and divine sense are far superior to before, and his efficiency in accumulating luck by activating supernatural powers has increased, it will still take him nearly three years to accumulate a strand of orange-colored luck.

As for the golden luck above the orange luck, Chen Beiwu believes that it would take at least three orange lucks to synthesize it.

This means that if he could use the Nine Breaths of Chaos to seize the dragon vein's fortune here and obtain a golden fortune, it would be equivalent to saving ten years of accumulating supernatural powers.

One day is equivalent to ten years; how could Chen Beiwu not be tempted by such efficiency?

The only thing that Chen Beiwu found regrettable was that, whether the dragon vein energy here was polluted or suppressed by the great formation and had not yet leaked out, the Nine Breaths Chaos in his heart remained completely still.

With this thought in mind, Chen Beiwu opened his eyes, his expression resolute.

There is no such thing as a sure-fire way to make money in this world.

If we can successfully seize a golden aura and pave a fast path to acquiring more auras, what's a little risk?

He possesses nine breaths of chaotic suppressing fortune, and within the chaotic world, there is also an orange-colored fortune that can resolve misfortune.

Even in the worst-case scenario, where he suffers a backlash from heaven and earth, he is confident he can overcome it.

Chen Beiwu flipped his hand and took out a dark red pointed shuttle from his storage ring.

Destruction is always easier than creation.

For a third-tier Golden Core array master to set up a third-tier treasure array that can detonate the dragon vein energy, it requires a great deal of time, effort, and resources. Moreover, Chen Beiwu is not yet a third-tier array master.

So he found a shortcut: by using the power of the Collapsing Vein Shuttle as a fulcrum to break the Heavenly Coffin Corpse Suppression Three Tribulations Formation left by Qian Buhuan before his death. While destroying the formation base, he used the principle of infinite generation through the resonance of the formation to form a chain collapse reaction, blowing up the entire dragon vein hub of the Corpse Refining Ground in one go.

Of course, ordinary array masters simply cannot do this.

After all, the Heavenly Coffin Corpse Suppression Three Tribulations Formation is a third-tier treasure formation, not something that a second-tier high-grade one-time use magic weapon can easily fool.

Even though the Collapse Vein Shuttle can absorb the earth energy within a radius of a hundred miles, shake the earth veins, cut off the flow of spiritual veins, and annihilate the array base, it is well-known in the array world of the Southern Wilderness, and many second-tier array masters like to use it to break the earth array.

However, Chen Beiwu's mastery of martial arts formations was too high, and the Heavenly Coffin Corpse Suppression Three Tribulations Formation had been partially destroyed in the previous battle, greatly reducing its power and creating many loopholes and flaws.

"Om."

After finding the location of the array base of the Heavenly Coffin Corpse Suppression Three Tribulations Formation, Chen Beiwu circulated his magic power and with a thought, the Collapse Vein Shuttle transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the depths of the dragon vein, but nothing happened.

Seeing this, Chen Beiwu showed no surprise.

The collapse of the earth veins and the annihilation of the array base will take some time to take effect, but he has plenty of patience to wait.

Even if the effects of the Bengmai Shuo (a type of acupuncture point) are not as expected, Chen Beiwu doesn't care.

There are many ways.

From the moment he learned that he might become the destroyer of the dragon veins in the future, Chen Beiwu began to collect spiritual artifacts, talismans, and array plates with effects similar to the Collapse Vein Shuttle.

If the Collapse Vein Shuttle doesn't work, Chen Beiwu still has several second-tier high-grade spirit arrays that can detonate the earth vein hub that he can try.

"Gulu."

Golden Egg snuggled up to Chen Beiwu in a coquettish manner.

From the moment Chen Beiwu obtained the Golden Armor Corpse King Pill, Golden Egg transformed from a fish-dragon into something more like a dog than Iron Egg, always trying to curry favor with him, its purpose self-evident.

"Wang."

Tie Dan has a rather laid-back personality.

Although it also coveted the Golden Armor Corpse King Pill and wished it could swallow it whole, it didn't interfere too much and chose to follow orders.

The main point is to avoid competition and grabbing.

"With your strength, it will be difficult for you to digest the Golden Armor Corpse King Pill," Chen Beiwu shook his head and said in his mind.

Between the golden egg and the iron egg, he preferred to give the Corpse King Pill to the golden egg.

After all, he cultivates the method of borrowing beasts to cultivate immortality, and improving the bloodline of the same beast is to improve his own strength.

But the Golden Armor Corpse King Pill is not so easy to refine!

Qian Buhuan had been in the Corpse Refining Ground for at least hundreds or thousands of years, and even with the help of the Dragon Vein, he still couldn't completely refine the Corpse King Pill.

Otherwise, he and his two senior sisters would not have faced a golden-armored corpse comparable to a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, but a terrifying being only one step away from becoming a Golden Armored Corpse King, capable of devouring a peak Golden Core cultivator alive.

So this can be considered a happy kind of trouble.

The Golden Armor Corpse King Pill was of too high a grade to be wasted. Before giving it to the golden egg, Chen Beiwu decided to find the most suitable refining method in the Jade Purity Immortal Sect's library.

While waiting for the Collapsed Pulse Shuttle to take effect, Chen Beiwu did not sit idle. He took out a medium-sized storage ring with an antique design.

Since Qian Buhuan had planned this all along and decided to refine himself into a corpse, his storage ring likely contained his entire fortune.

'A Golden Core cultivator who practices both physical and spiritual cultivation—just thinking about it is exciting.'

Chen Beiwu sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to slowly refine the storage ring.

"Buzz!"

As time passed, and without the protection of its original host's divine sense, the storage ring was no match for Chen Beiwu's divine sense, which was comparable to that of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, and its resistance grew weaker and weaker.

With a final 'click,' the recognition was successful, and the storage space was fully opened to him.

To Chen Beiwu's surprise, although the spirit stones in the storage space were arranged in an orderly manner, they were not quite commensurate with the wealth of a third-tier weapon refiner.

The 35611 low-grade spirit stones and 579 mid-grade spirit stones together are worth approximately 93511 spirit yuan, which is rather meager for a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.

As the top disciple of the Burning Flame Sect, Luo Yongjie had over 40,000 spirit stones in his storage ring, while Qian Buhuan, a Golden Core cultivator, had only twice as many.

'Hopefully, this guy didn't use all his wealth to create corpses.'

Chen Beiwu's divine sense swept over the spirit stones and various miscellaneous items, and looked at the neatly arranged jade slips of cultivation techniques.

The Hundred Refinements Mystic Weapon Battle Body Technique

The Yin Sha Corpse Refining Array Diagram

"The Yin Dragon Corpse Puppet Fusion and Corpse Forging" ...

To avoid missing any treasures, Chen Beiwu casually picked out a few jade slips with obvious signs of use to examine.

As the name suggests, the "Myriad Refinements Mystic Weapon Battle Body Technique" can be cultivated to the highest level of a fourth-order Myriad Refinements Mystic Weapon, allowing one to attain the Dao and become a True Monarch Body Cultivator.

Unfortunately, this cultivation method is incomplete, and can only be cultivated up to the Golden Core stage. Its value is average. Moreover, the concept of the method is somewhat similar to the Dao-Suppressing Furnace Elixir Method bestowed by the master. It can be given to Senior Sister Zhu for reference.

"The Yin Sha Corpse Refining Array Diagram" and "The Yin Dragon Corpse Puppet Fusion Pill Casting Corpse" are heretical techniques that allow cultivators' corpses to retain their own consciousness and be refined into golden-armored corpses.

This type of technique would undoubtedly be a forbidden art in the Immortal Alliance, but in the Southern Wilderness it is nothing special.

In addition, these two jade slips containing cultivation techniques also record Qian Buhuan's research and insights into the Golden Armor Corpse King Pill.

If Chen Beiwu could thoroughly study these two techniques, he could use the Golden Armor Corpse King Pill as a base to try to cultivate a Golden Armor Corpse, or even a Golden Armor Corpse King, although it would require a lot of time and effort.

Thinking of this, Chen Beiwu couldn't help but shook his head.

Raising corpses is no simple matter; it can easily backfire and make one a target for righteous cultivators.

Instead of spending his time cultivating these two techniques to raise corpses, he might as well use the information within them to directly cultivate the golden egg with the Corpse King Pill.

Setting down the jade slip, Chen Beiwu used his divine sense to retrieve six specially sealed jade boxes and opened them. Each jade box contained different rare and precious materials.

First, there is the Tier 3 superior-grade treasure ore, [Myriad Fire Melting Crystal], which can be used to refine Tier 3 fire-attribute magic weapons, and can also be used as an auxiliary material for Tier 4 profound treasures. Its value far exceeds that of Void Gold Marrow.

Secondly, it is a piece of corpse-nourishing jade marrow produced in an extremely yin place, containing innate yin energy.

Its texture is like holding ice. It can be used to nourish corpses or raise ghosts. It is quite valuable and can be sold for a high price if encountered by evil cultivators. However, the risk of being cheated is extremely high.

Thirdly, there was a bottle of mysterious pills. The surface of the jade bottle was inscribed with the five large characters "Mysterious Yin Golden Fiend Pill". When Chen Beiwu opened it, he found that there was only one dark gold-colored pill inside.

'Golden Fiend Pill? Could this pill help Qian Buhuan overcome the Golden Fiend Tribulation ahead of time?' Chen Beiwu's eyes narrowed slightly, and a guess couldn't help but come to mind.

Fourthly, there was a cicada shell that looked ordinary and was as light as a feather. When tapped with a finger, it produced a dull sound, which greatly surprised Chen Beiwu.

If he wasn't mistaken, this should be a fourth-tier low-grade Xuan material, the [Calamity Fire Golden Shell].

The Calamity Fire Golden Shell, also known as the Earth Yin Golden Cicada Shell, is the golden shell shed by the fourth-tier Xuan Beast Earth Yin Golden Cicada after it has survived the Heavenly Tribulation of Thunder and Fire. It has a strong defense and can withstand the Heavenly Tribulation.

In order to help their fellow beasts successfully overcome the Heavenly Tribulation and advance to the Fourth Realm Demon King, some Golden Core True Persons in the Immortal Alliance will go to great lengths to collect Tribulation Fire Golden Shells and refine the Fourth-Order Mystic Treasure, the [Tribulation-Avoiding Golden Robe].

Qian Buhuan collected this item mostly out of ambition, hoping to use the Calamity Fire Golden Shell to survive the Calamity of the Golden Armored Corpse King, but it ended up benefiting Chen Beiwu instead.

Fifth, it is a special paste-like substance formed by the condensation of the corpse's yin energy and the dragon vein's energy.

This substance resembles flowing mercury or viscous blood. It can be used to nourish the Corpse King Pill or as a medium for refining the Corpse King Pill. It is called Dragon Vein Yin Marrow.

If the Golden Egg wants to consume and refine the Corpse King Pill in the future, it will need the help of the Dragon Vein Yin Marrow.

With this item, Chen Beiwu could save a lot of energy.

However, what surprised Chen Beiwu the most was the rare and precious materials stored in the sixth sealed jade box.

Upon opening it, the dragon blood inside the jade box was a dark golden-red color, viscous like mercury, and seemed to be constantly swimming around as if it were alive, radiating a strong dragon's might.

Upon close contact with this drop of dragon blood, Chen Beiwu could even hear the roar of a dragon echoing in his ears, as if he were facing an invincible dragon.

"Gulu."

Sensing this energy, Jin Dan instinctively drooled from the corner of his mouth.

Fragrant, so fragrant!
If it weren't for Chen Beiwu's warning look, it would have almost lost control of its desires.

"Crimson gold solidified, demonic power immortal, blood transformed into dragon—this is the essence blood of the Yuyuchi Dragon!" Chen Beiwu's pupils contracted, his expression revealing undisguised joy.

The Yu'ou Chilong is a fourth-tier Xuan Beast.

For cultivators of the Immortal Alliance, a single drop of the essence blood of the Yuyuchi Dragon, which can help the dragon-type beast evolve, is almost as valuable as a fourth-tier Xuan Dan.

Of course, judging from the aura, the essence of the dragon blood in the jade box was not as powerful as recorded. It mostly came from a third-realm demon general rather than a fourth-realm demon king, and its value was probably comparable to a third-grade high-quality precious pill.

However, this is quite normal. If Qian Buhuan had encountered the Four Realms Demon King Chilong, his grave would probably be overgrown with weeds by now.

"Another Corpse King Pill, another Three Realms Dragon Essence Blood, was Qian Buhuan a chosen one in life?" Chen Beiwu couldn't help but exclaim.

It should be noted that there are differences in the bloodlines of the three realms of demon generals.

Chen Beiwu had previously obtained the marrow and blood of the Golden Roc of the Sky-Splitting Realm, but he couldn't find an opportunity to exchange it in the Southern Wilderness, so it could only be left to gather dust in his storage ring. However, the essence and blood of the Three Realms Taming Dragon were different.

The Yuyu Chilong, with its mastery of the Illusionary Annihilation Technique, perfectly fulfills the bloodline requirements for the Golden Egg's future transformation into a dragon.

If we also consider the drop of fourth-order Chilong essence blood that the sect has yet to bestow, Jin Dan is undoubtedly about to take off, and may even enter the Golden Core stage faster than him, successfully completing the Dragon Transformation.

It is evident that if Qian Buhuan hadn't been unlucky enough to encounter Chen Beiwu, with so many cultivation resources, he could probably have refined the Corpse King Pill within a few hundred years and become a golden-armored Corpse King that no one dared to provoke.

'I have thus rid the Earthly Realm of a great scourge.'

Under the reluctant gaze of the golden egg, Chen Beiwu carefully put away the essence blood of the Yuyuchi dragon.

A good knife should be used on its blade.

Golden Egg has not even reached the limit of Foundation Establishment (499 years of cultivation), so there is no need to use the essence blood of the Yuchi Dragon.

"Gulu."

Seeing this, Jin Dan slumped down, its head hanging limply, its body clinging to Chen Beiwu, as if all its energy had been drained away.

Chen Beiwu shook his head, ignoring the golden egg's pitiful act, and focused his divine sense on the most spacious refining area of ​​the storage space.

There wasn't a single third-tier magic weapon on display there, only a weapon storage box.

Chen Beiwu's intuition told him that the treasure stored in the weapon box was the third-tier Golden Core magic weapon, the "Mountain-Splitting Blade," which Qian Yuan, the former owner of Linghu Lake, had longed for.

"Zheng!"

As the hidden weapon box was opened, a precious light shone forth, and a clear, resonant sword cry echoed through the sky, like a dragon's roar or a sword's howl.

A powerful magical weapon, about nine feet four inches long and shaped like the Chinese character "山" (mountain), slowly came into Chen Beiwu's view.

The central blade of this knife is two feet nine inches long, shaped like a long sword, with double-edged blades, about three fingers wide, and half an inch thick.

The two secondary blades are about two feet four inches long, slightly curved, and shaped like Wu hooks, with the outer edge sharpened.

As the three blades clashed, an incomparably sharp metallic aura erupted, seemingly about to shred the air within a hundred feet into dust.

Sensing the presence of Chen Beiwu and Jin Tie, the magical artifact adjusted its angle on its own, its blade gleaming as it locked onto them.

The blade trembled instantly, and an extremely pure and powerful pressure swept across the heavens and earth like a raging tide.

Sensing the oppressive aura and hostility, Chen Beiwu became interested.

What kind of mountain-splitting knife is this? According to the Immortal Alliance's designation, this magic weapon is clearly a three-pointed double-edged sword!
