Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 298 Trivial Matters Before Dan
The few days passed quickly.

Deep in the Yuqing Mountains.

A gentle mountain breeze rustled the leaves in the forest.

"Got to go."

Chen Beiwu crouched down and met the seven-tailed purple fox's round eyes.

"Hey."

The seven-tailed purple fox suddenly raised its right paw.

Chen Beiwu was slightly taken aback, then a slight smile appeared on his lips as he realized that this was the unique way the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox clan bid farewell.

He also extended his right palm and gently pressed it against the right paw of the seven-tailed purple fox, feeling the warm and soft pad of flesh in his palm.

After a long while, the seven-tailed purple fox lowered its front paws, its seven tails swaying gently behind it. It lightly touched the jade bottle with the tips of its tails and then pushed it towards his chest, its meaning all too clear.

Here's a farewell gift for you!

"Isn't this your daily meal?" Chen Beiwu didn't take it, and chuckled, "If you give it to me, what will you drink?"

The seven-tailed purple fox remained silent, her gaze fixed firmly on Chen Beiwu, carrying an air of unyielding resolve.

Sensing the sincerity of the purple fox cub, Chen Beiwu put away his teasing expression and solemnly accepted the jade bottle.

This gift is truly valuable, and in principle, he should politely decline it, but he shouldn't refuse the sentiment behind it.

Upon seeing this, the seven-tailed purple fox twitched its nose slightly, as if trying to remember Chen Beiwu's aura. Then it turned around and leaped into the sea of ​​clouds, its movements nimble and agile, showing none of the clumsy and endearing manner it had when it first met Chen Beiwu.

Unfortunately, the elegance lasted only three seconds.

As the seven-tailed purple fox's hind legs lifted into the air, its left front paw accidentally caught the fur on its right leg, causing it to frantically flap its limbs in mid-air.

"Paji."

The seven-tailed purple fox fell to the ground, its fluffy tail still habitually curling upwards.

Chen Beiwu: “…”

The seven-tailed purple fox also froze on the spot, then trotted away, no longer attempting to take flight, leaving Chen Beiwu with a cute silhouette.

'This little guy is really silly.'

Feeling the warmth of the jade bottle at his fingertips, Chen Beiwu smiled, turned around, mounted the golden egg, and rode the clouds towards the Five Elements Miasma Abyss, preparing to retrieve the Five Qi Vine.

The Five Elements Miasma Abyss.

"Na."

Upon spotting the dragon's shadow in the clouds, the Five Qi Vine reached out to greet it.

Chen Beiwu flipped down and discovered that the Five Qi Forest behind the Five Qi Vine was filled with countless miniature precious herbs.

Wow, they're really rich.

The luggage that Wuqi Teng mentioned was actually a great medicine hidden in various places!

"Hey?" (Should we do something big before we leave?)
Five Qi Vine glanced around and whispered.

"Let's go, our cooperation is more important."

Chen Beiwu's gaze swept almost imperceptibly over the summit of Yunhai Mountain. With a flick of his sleeve, he and the golden egg transformed into a streak of light, carrying the Five Qi Vine towards the outside of the Yuqing Mountain Range.

The mountain top in the distance.

A purple figure stood on an ancient pine branch, its seven tails swaying gently, watching Chen Beiwu's figure gradually disappear into the distance.

Only after Chen Beiwu disappeared outside the Yuqing Mountains did it leap into the arms of a stunningly beautiful demon king.

"You don't know the cost of firewood and rice until you're in charge of the household."

The Demon King Ziyao parted her red lips slightly, her voice languid: "Azhi, do you know how many years it would take Mother to collect just one bottle of 'Heavenly Milk Essence'?"

The seven-tailed purple fox shrank its neck, but its round eyes blinked stubbornly, and its tail wrapped around its mother's wrist in a fawning manner.

This mixture of guilt and self-righteousness amused the Demon King Ziyao.

"There's no point in acting like a baby."

The Demon King Ziyao turned around, his back to the seven-tailed purple fox, but a smile was hidden in his eyes.

If Chen Beiwu fails to achieve the Primordial Golden Elixir, that's fine.

If Chen Beiwu can truly forge it, Azhi's actions today will undoubtedly create a cause and effect.

In a way, my daughter is lucky despite her naivety; she made the most advantageous investment based on her instincts.

Of course, Ah Zhi might not see this as an investment, but rather as a heartfelt gift between friends.

'Silly child,' the Demon King Ziyao sighed inwardly.

Not all contract cultivators in this world are worthy of reciprocating sincerity.

If she were to meet the wrong person, such sincerity could actually harm her daughter, so she had to give Azhi a warning.

As for Chen Beiwu?
After observing him for some time, the Purple Yao Demon King concluded that this extraordinary prodigy was of good character and qualified to be a fellow cultivator under contract with Azhi.

The only flaw is that Chen Beiwu's ambitions are too high; he only has eyes for the Primordial Golden Elixir.

If he fails to form his core, it's still acceptable if he doesn't lose his spirit; he'll still be an excellent contract cultivator.

However, if Chen Beiwu's temperament changes drastically after failing to form his core, then he would not be a good match for her, and a more careful decision would be needed.

'With that bottle of Heavenly Milk Essence, Chen Beiwu's chances of forging the Primordial Golden Core should be slightly higher, allowing him to smoothly pass the Foundation Shattering stage.'

After pondering for a moment, the Demon King Ziyao disappeared from the mountaintop with his daughter.

She is not a sixth-realm demon saint, and cannot know the future; thinking about it is pointless.

Whether or not Chen Beiwu can forge the Primordial Golden Elixir depends entirely on his fate.

……

Jade Purity Immortal Sect.

"Clap."

The new student's pupils contracted slightly, and he didn't even use his magic to pick up the jade slip that fell from his hand.

"Nanxuan, why are you so startled? You even lost your student ID." Another freshman laughed as he picked up the jade slip.

The next second, the sound of people swallowing around him made him realize that something was wrong.

When a cultivator reaches the Qi Refining Transcendence Realm, they can perfectly control their body's reactions.

Unless something unbelievable happens, it is rare for a Qi Refining cultivator to lose their composure in public.

He curiously raised his head and looked in the direction of the students around him.

A young cultivator with bright eyes and sharp eyebrows walked towards the Wuji Tower's admissions office, his expression slightly stiffening.

'That…that’s the Five Qi Vine!'

Looking at the five-colored vines on Chen Beiwu's shoulders and head, one of the students couldn't help but murmur to himself.

The poor cultivators entered the Jade Purity Immortal Sect in order to gain the reputation of the Three Immortal Sects.

The reason why the immortal geniuses of the Dao Venerable Immortal Clan and the True Venerable Clan enter the Jade Purity Immortal Sect is mostly to form a contract with the Heavenly Gang Mystic Beast Five Qi Vine, in order to prepare for the position of True Monarch and the Nascent Soul.

"Who is this person? Does anyone recognize him?" someone asked in a low voice.

"Chen Beiwu, a student from the 24523 class, ranked third on the new talent list, is said to come from a poor family in the Fallen Dragon Mansion," a senior student introduced.

The sound was very soft, yet it was like a pebble thrown into a still lake, stirring ripples in everyone's hearts.

Chen Beiwu? Not Shen Lingxing, the chief disciple of the Immortal Sect!
Doesn't that mean that there are no more spots available for this generation of Five Qi Vine?

"Can someone who ranks third on the rookie list really contract the Five Qi Vine?" a freshman asked curiously.

He wasn't ranked high on the rookie list, only tenth, but he didn't think that being third on the rookie list was that strong.

"Don't compare your ranking of level 24525 with that of level 24523, they are completely incomparable."

The senior shook his head. "In the 24523 class alone, there were three flawless Foundation Establishment cultivators, while your class this year doesn't even have a single flawless Foundation Establishment cultivator."

Upon hearing this, all the students present fell silent, deeply remembering Chen Beiwu's name.

Every cultivator who can enter the Jade Purity Immortal Sect is a prodigy, but even among prodigies, there are differences.

If they weren't mistaken, once Shen Lingxing, the sect's top leader, resigns and graduates, Chen Beiwu will most likely succeed him as the next sect's top leader, a figure not to be underestimated. "Hey?" (Can I take it?)
Upon entering the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, the Five Qi Vine discovered that treasures were everywhere, its eyes darting around and its little vine hands becoming quite restless.

Fortunately, it knows what's important and always asks Chen Beiwu for his opinion before taking any action.

"Aren't you afraid of losing your freedom later? You can use your power to pay off your debts and act as you please," Chen Beiwu said telepathically, glancing at the new students in the distance.

Hearing this, Wu Qi Teng suppressed his restless thoughts and followed Chen Beiwu to the admissions office on the second floor of the Wuji Tower.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Chen Beiwu knocked lightly on the door three times, and Jiang Chuan's voice came from inside.

"come in."

Chen Beiwu went straight in and found Senior Brother Jiang sitting upright in front of the cloud-patterned jade table.

The table was simply furnished, with a jade slip that gleamed faintly, along with paper and writing materials.

The most eye-catching items are two jars, one black and one white, carved with coiled dragon patterns, which look quite extraordinary.

"Junior Brother, you must be careful this time when you form your core."

With a thought, Senior Brother Jiang sent a jade slip and two pill bottles to Chen Beiwu.

"Senior brother, what is this?" Chen Beiwu asked curiously.

"This jade slip is the Supreme Scripture of Boundless Salvation of the Primordial Origin that I mentioned before. Each cultivator can only study and comprehend it once in their lifetime. After reading it, one can enter a state of enlightenment, increasing the probability of forming a Golden Core by 40%, which will help my junior brother condense his Golden Core."

"The white bottle contains the Tribulation-Breaking Golden Pill, which is essential for the Immortal Alliance to form a Golden Core. It can increase the probability of forming a Golden Core. The black bottle contains the Foundation-Consolidating Pill, which can protect against the calamities of forming a Golden Core. Even if the Golden Core formation fails, it can preserve your foundation."

At this point, Senior Brother Jiang smiled calmly: "Back when I formed my core, I had to rely on myself, and I didn't receive such preferential treatment. This shows how much Master values ​​Junior Brother."

Chen Beiwu stretched out his hands and solemnly accepted the three treasures: "I will certainly live up to Master's expectations."

“Go ahead,” said Senior Brother Jiang.

Chen Beiwu bowed respectfully and turned to return to the Three Mountains Cave, when he suddenly heard Jiang Chuan's voice behind him.

"Remember, junior brother. Whether or not you can forge the Primordial Golden Core, you will always be Master's disciple."

If one's ability to form a Golden Core is insufficient, a First-Grade Golden Core is acceptable; there's no need to force the Primordial Golden Core, lest it damage one's foundation.

"Junior brother understands."

Chen Beiwu nodded without saying anything more.

The Primordial Golden Core has not appeared for ten thousand years, and it is even rarer than the Nascent Soul True Venerable in the Jade Purity Immortal Sect. It is normal that his senior brother does not think highly of him.

However, Chen Beiwu will prove his talent and hard work with facts, and gain the attention and resources of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.

……

Qiyunju, a cave dwelling of the Three Sacred Mountains.

"This is my simplified version of the Primordial Core Formation Immortal Method, also known as the Taiyi Core Formation Method. You need to study it carefully during this period of time."

Chen Beiwu took out a jade slip and handed it to the Five Qi Vine.

"Huh?" (Can I not learn it?)
The Five Qi Vine activated its divine sense to examine the document once, only to find its brain completely muddled.

"If you don't learn it, how can you help me organize and forge the Five Elements Treasure Light?" Chen Beiwu asked in return.

"Na."

Left with no other choice, Wuqi Teng picked up the jade slip and devoted himself to its study.

But after a short while, the five-colored flowers on its head closed up and drooped down, revealing a drowsy appearance.

'This generation of Five Qi Vine is actually a poor student.'

Chen Beiwu couldn't help but smile wryly, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.

Immortal techniques are still immortal techniques. Even if he successfully simplified them, they are still beyond the comprehension of ordinary geniuses, let alone the Five Qi Vine which is not a human cultivator.

Chen Beiwu is only giving the Primordial Core Formation Immortal Method to temper the Five Qi Vine's temperament, so that it can calm down and learn, and lay a solid foundation.

Once the Five Qi Vine has laid a solid foundation, it will be time for Chen Beiwu to personally guide and help it comprehend the true meaning of the Taiyi Core Formation Method.

Let the golden egg and iron egg roam freely, and Chen Beiwu took out his phone to make a call home.

"Son, what brings you to call me today?"

Ms. Huang Xiaoling wiped her wet hands, her face full of smiles.

"Where's Dad?" Chen Beiwu asked.

"He's planning to break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining recently. He's been cultivating in the training room. He should be able to come out in five more minutes," Huang Xiaoling said with a light laugh.

When one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven.

Since Chen Beiwu soared to the top and was admitted to the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, his family's financial situation has greatly improved and they are much better off now.

Every now and then, prominent figures in Yuankong County would visit her, bringing generous gifts and seeking her advice on raising children. As a result, Huang Xiaoling's mood improved over the years, and she gained a full ten pounds.

"That's good. Did you receive the two sets of Foundation Establishment Five Elements and Tier 3 Treasure Medicines I sent out?" Chen Beiwu relaxed and started chatting about everyday things.

Recently, after his persuasion, his parents finally had the idea of ​​embarking on the path of cultivation again.

"received."

When this topic came up, Huang Xiaoling became somewhat unhappy: "You're such a waste of spiritual energy. Neither your father nor I have cultivated to the ninth level of Qi Refining."

Now that I've bought the Five Elements for Foundation Building and precious medicines and have them at home, I'm always worried that someone might steal them.

"There's nothing I can do. I plan to form my core this year, and I don't know how long I'll need to go into seclusion. I can only prepare the resources you need for foundation building in advance."

As soon as Chen Beiwu finished speaking, he noticed that his mother, who had been nagging on the other end of the phone, froze and showed an incredulous expression.

"What did you say? Core Formation!"

Huang Xiaoling was stunned, instinctively thinking she had misheard, but to her surprise, Chen Beiwu nodded.

"You? Core Formation...!"

Huang Xiaoling's brain seemed to freeze, and she repeated herself haltingly.

The surprise came so suddenly that she couldn't believe it without asking several times to confirm.

"What Core Formation? Who wants to form a Core?"

Chen Dong's image suddenly appeared on the phone screen. He wondered what his wife was up to, talking nonsense in broad daylight.

"Bei Wu said he's about to form his core."

Huang Xiaoling lowered her voice, her tone still carrying a hint of disbelief.

Chen Dong: "???"

Chen Dong glanced around, finding it hard to believe this explosive news, and couldn't help but question the meaning of life:

"Son, you're currently at the peak of Foundation Establishment. Are you preparing to form your Core?"

Upon hearing this question, Chen Beiwu looked helpless, but he could understand.

After all, his cultivation progress during his years of studying at the Jade Purity Immortal Sect was truly exaggerated.

During the same amount of cultivation time, his father remained at the sixth level of Qi Refining and failed to break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining to advance to the late stage of Qi Refining, while he was already a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"Yes, I told you in advance because I was worried that you wouldn't be able to contact me if I stayed in seclusion for a long time and my phone was off."

As soon as Chen Beiwu finished speaking, Chen Dong and Huang Xiaoling looked at each other, their expressions incredibly complicated.

How old is Chen Beiwu, the son?

He's only twenty-two years old this year, and still a third-level student in the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, but suddenly he's about to form his core.

'Could this be the legendary turn of fortune? The Chen family is finally about to produce a true dragon!' Chen Dong couldn't hide his joy.

"Phew." Huang Xiaoling exhaled a breath of stale air, her gaze towards her son subtly changing.

Her father had said that the Huang family was a renowned clan in ancient times, and that they had produced powerful cultivators at the level of giants in cultivation, but she didn't take it seriously at the time.

In retrospect, perhaps my father wasn't exaggerating.

Her son, Chen Beiwu, must have inherited some of the Huang family's ancestors' talents; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to attempt to form his core at such a young age!
