Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 307 The Evergreen Lineage

"Na."

The Five Qi Vine approached Chen Beiwu, its five-colored flowers blooming atop its head, revealing tiny sprites within the flower's stamen.

Seeing this, Chen Beiwu smiled and let the Five Qi Vine approach and stick to him.

"How about you take charge of this medicinal herb field from now on?" he suggested.

"Na."

Wuqiteng nodded without hesitation, indicating that he was an expert in medicinal herbs.

Leaving the medicinal herb field and returning to the bamboo courtyard, Chen Beiwu pushed open the bamboo hut of the alchemy room.

The alchemy room was furnished very simply, with only a small table, an alchemy furnace, an alchemy pool, and three futons.

"How do you feel? Do you need any modifications?" Chen Beiwu asked Tie Dan.

He didn't know anything about alchemy, so he sought advice from experts.

Instead of answering directly, Tie Dan walked to the alchemy furnace, sniffed it, and then tentatively extended his paw to start the fire.

"Woof." Tie Dan nodded in satisfaction.

The alchemy room contains a third-tier magic weapon furnace and a pill pool, far superior to the spirit weapon furnace in the array hall of the Southern Wilderness Sect.

If it spends some time here focusing on alchemy, it might be able to fully enter the realm of a third-tier alchemist.

"As long as you're satisfied."

Chen Beiwu nodded slightly, his gaze meeting the golden egg.

Golden Egg's eyes unconsciously glanced to the other side.

It excels at fighting and magical duels.

He was inept at alchemy, farming, talisman making, and weapon crafting; he had no skill in any of the myriad arts of cultivation that he could be proud of.

"As for the golden egg, your task is a bit heavy. You need to cooperate with me to switch to cultivating the 'Primordial Cave True Azure Flower Controlling Myriad Tribulations and Myriad Spirits Immortal Method' and the 'Primordial Evergreen Controlling Spirits Immortal Scripture'."

As soon as Chen Beiwu finished speaking, Jin Dan's eyes lit up.

It is no longer the golden scale that was unenlightened and could not even understand the Jianmu Heavenly Book of the Return of All Laws. Now it is time to let Chen Beiwu understand the Heavenly Gang Profound Path of the Three-Phase Profound Flood Dragon!
It's just two immortal techniques. Take the example of "Mirror Flower, Water Moon"—it can be easily comprehended and mastered by using the Three-Phase Furnace to devour and refine them.

Three-quarters of an hour later, the golden egg spat out two jade slips containing immortal techniques, revealing an expression of utter disbelief.

"Why can't I refine it?"

Golden Egg looked up at Chen Beiwu.

“A jade slip that can carry the true meaning of immortal scriptures is no ordinary jade slip.”

Chen Beiwu smiled and wasn't surprised.

Although the fourth-order Heavenly Gang Mystic Technique is powerful, it is not omnipotent. Moreover, Jin Dan's current cultivation level is only at the third realm demon general level, and he can only rely on his bloodline to display a few of the power of the Three Phases Furnace.

"Buzz." A fluctuation suddenly came from the cave's array.

Chen Beiwu raised an eyebrow slightly. This fluctuation indicated that a cultivator had officially come to visit and rang the 'doorbell'.

"boom!"

Contact is prohibited, the waterfall is diverted, and the cave passage is opened.

As Chen Beiwu stepped out, the first thing he saw was Senior Brother Jiang Chuan standing calmly outside Shuiyan Residence, with three unfamiliar cultivators standing beside him.

All three of them possess extraordinary luck and are surrounded by good fortune.

The leader's demeanor was no less impressive than that of True Lord Jiangchuan, and almost half of his good fortune had transformed into purple aura, clearly indicating that he was no ordinary True Lord.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Jiang." Chen Beiwu bowed slightly.

"Junior Brother Chen, come and greet our senior brothers and sisters." Senior Brother Jiang Chuan waved and took the initiative to introduce them.

"This is Yue Chenfeng, the senior disciple of the Changqing lineage of Changqing Cave."

Jiang Chuan gestured with his palm toward the young man standing in the very center.

The young man was dressed in a gray-blue Taoist robe. He wasn't particularly handsome, but he gave off an extremely reliable feeling.

"Senior Brother has deeply inherited Master's true teachings, and his mastery of formations is unparalleled among his peers," Senior Brother Jiang Chuan said admiringly.

"Junior Brother Jiang, you flatter me." Yue Chenfeng smiled gently at Chen Beiwu: "I am quite accomplished in the art of formations. If Junior Brother Chen is interested in formations, we can discuss them together."

As he spoke, he flipped his hand, and a palm-sized, leaf-shaped array flag slowly appeared:

"This is the Evergreen Array Core, which can gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on Qingming Peak for cultivation. I hope Junior Brother Chen will like it."

"Thank you, senior brother."

Chen Beiwu bowed and accepted the battle flag.

Although he had never heard of the name of Changqing Array Hub, his senior brother was a Nascent Soul True Monarch, and the array flags and magic treasures he had given him were extraordinary and could not be compared with ordinary spirit gathering array plates.

At this moment, Senior Brother Jiang led his right hand toward a beautiful female cultivator to the left of Senior Brother.

She wore a light blue flowing fairy dress, with a lotus-patterned gauze over it, which outlined her slender and graceful figure.

"This is Second Senior Sister, Su Muyu." Senior Brother Jiang said admiringly, "Senior Sister Su has mastered the essence of Master's 'Dongming Changqing Water Alchemy Method'. She is skilled at using water, wood, and mysterious fire to refine the essence of herbs and trees into pills. She is a renowned fourth-grade high-level Xuan Dan Master in the Yuqing Immortal Sect."

Upon hearing this, before Chen Beiwu could even bow and address her as Second Senior Sister, Su Muyu smiled gently and said, "Junior Brother, there's no need for such formalities."

As she finished speaking, she lightly raised her slender hand and handed over a warm, white jade elixir bottle: "This is the Heart-Nourishing Elixir that I refined using the morning dew of the Azure Sea Cave."

This pill can stabilize the golden nature of the Golden Core, purify mana, enhance divine sense, and boost comprehension in a short period of time. It has a remarkable effect on Golden Core cultivators breaking through to higher realms, and can also be considered a gift from my senior sister.

Junior brother, if you ever need to refine precious pills or profound pills, you can come to Danxia Residence to find me. I can give you a 10% discount.

"Senior Sister Su is really biased." Senior Brother Jiang teased, "Back then, I begged for a long time, and Senior Sister was only willing to give me one Heart-Nourishing Pill. I didn't expect Junior Brother to give me a whole bottle."

"Do I really have to tell you the truth?" Su Muyu glanced at Jiang Chuan: "Your comprehension is average. Giving you this Muxin Pill is like a cow chewing on a peony. You won't even be able to get past the Golden Core Perfection stage."

"Thank you, Second Senior Sister."

Chen Beiwu accepted the warm, lustrous bottle and bowed respectfully.

Pills that can stabilize the metal element, purify magical power, and enhance spiritual insight are extremely rare; they are either top-grade third-tier treasure pills or fourth-tier profound pills.

For example, the Soul-Stabilizing Pill he took to break through to the Golden Core stage was a special treasure pill that the Mirror Moon Sect kept secret.

If Chen Beiwu hadn't possessed the Dao Child's authority, he wouldn't have been able to exchange for the Soul-Stabilizing Pill, let alone even see any information about it.

Bathed in rain? Bathed in heart?
If Chen Beiwu wasn't mistaken, the Muxin Pill must have been a formula created by Senior Sister Su herself; otherwise, he wouldn't have never even heard of the pill's name.

"This is our third senior brother, Mo Chen." Senior Brother Jiang Chuan gestured with his right hand to a young man standing on the far right, who wore a silver robe and had a youthful face.

"Senior Brother Mo cultivates the 'Eastern Extreme Longevity Five Directions Wood Virtue Transformation Tribulation Thunder Pivot Jade Chapter,' and is considered an unparalleled genius in the art of talismans. He is a renowned fourth-tier superior Xuan Talisman Master of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect."

"Greetings, Third Senior Brother," Chen Beiwu greeted him.

Mo Chen nodded without saying anything more. With a flick of his finger, a wisp of green light floated in front of Chen Beiwu, revealing a talisman that was neither gold nor wood, warm to the touch, and flickering with lightning.

"This talisman, made of lightning as its core, is specifically designed to damage the Nascent Soul of the Purple Mansion and destroy the primordial spirit. Ordinary early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, without special soul-protecting treasures, will die instantly upon touching it, their body and soul annihilated. Junior Brother, please use it with caution," Mo Chen said succinctly.

"Junior Brother Mo is truly magnanimous!" Yue Chenfeng and the other two looked surprised.

The Jiyuan Zhenglu is no ordinary fourth-order Xuanlu; its power is astonishing, approaching that of the fourth-level demon king, Tiangang Xuantong.

Even though Mo Chen is a fourth-tier high-grade Xuanlu Master, it would still take him a considerable amount of time and effort to draw one.

To present his junior brother with a Jiyuan Zhenglu as a simple gift is nothing short of astonishing. "This... this item is far too valuable," Chen Beiwu said, looking troubled.

"It's just a talisman," Mo Chen said casually.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Mo."

Chen Beiwu did not continue to refuse and accepted the Jiyuan Zhenglu with both hands.

It can even kill a Nascent Soul stage True Monarch. This kind of talisman is undoubtedly a complete weapon of mass destruction in the Southern Wilderness. He will have more confidence when he travels in the Southern Wilderness in the future.

As for the consequences of this, Chen Beiwu didn't care.

There is no such thing as kindness without a reason in this world. The reason he has gained the recognition of his senior brothers and sisters is not because of his strength.

It was the Primordial Golden Elixir, which is extremely rare and highly valued by his master, a fact that Chen Beiwu was well aware of.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been unable to even meet many of his senior brothers and sisters before.

But so what?
It's normal for people from the same school to have personal relationships and exchanges.

He accepted the generous gifts from his senior classmates and expressed his gratitude accordingly.

As for whether to develop a close relationship, that depends on the personalities of both parties.

If their temperaments are compatible, having another true lord as a confidant is not a bad thing. However, if their temperaments clash and they really can't get along, Chen Beiwu can maintain a public relationship as fellow disciples and repay the favor later.

"Senior brothers and sisters, your gifts are very generous and you are too kind to accept them. Please come to my humble abode so that I may serve you a cup of tea to express my gratitude."

Chen Beiwu lowered his posture, revealing a perfectly appropriate blush on his face, as if he had only just realized that it was somewhat impolite to talk outside the cave.

Upon hearing this, Yue Chenfeng and the others nodded in agreement.

There are many eccentric geniuses in the Immortal Alliance. My junior brother has formed the Primordial Golden Core at such a young age, and his attitude is so humble. No wonder he is respected by his master.

"We are fellow disciples, no need for formalities."

Jiang Chuan patted Chen Beiwu on the shoulder, and the group walked into Shuiyan Residence chatting and laughing.

After chatting over tea for a while, the taciturn senior brother Yue Chenfeng had to leave early due to other matters.

Second Senior Sister Su Muyu and Third Senior Brother Mo Chen chatted quite happily.

"Does Junior Brother have a Daoist partner?" Su Muyu took a sip of hot tea and suddenly asked.

Jiang Chuan and Mo Chen exchanged a glance, their expressions revealing surprise.

Junior Brother Chen is currently a highly sought-after figure within the Jade Purity Immortal Sect; which True Venerable clan wouldn't want a piece of his pie?

Moreover, Senior Sister Su is quite straightforward and a bit gossipy.

Of course, to put it bluntly, he is a bit old-fashioned and speaks with a slightly old-fashioned tone.

Chen Beiwu was slightly taken aback, and said frankly, "I don't have a Daoist partner, but I do have one or two confidantes."

"A confidante is not a cultivation partner." Su Muyu became even more interested and asked, "Hey, junior brother, what kind of girl do you like? I know many immortal sect fairies, all of them are top-notch beauties?"

Chen Beiwu: “…”

Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Jiang Chuan quickly changed the subject to avoid making things even more uncomfortable: "The Thirteen Immortal Sects Exchange Meeting is about to begin. Junior Brother, do you have any thoughts on participating?"

Chen Beiwu nodded: "The sect leader has already included me in the list of participants for the exchange meeting. As for whether I can become the team leader of this exchange meeting, we need to fight Shen Lingxing to determine that."

"Shen Lingxing is no simple character. Junior Brother, are you confident you can win?" Jiang Chuan frowned slightly.

Throughout history, those who have become the chief of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect have all been exceptional geniuses, one in ten thousand, but Shen Lingxing is one of the very few exceptions.

Born into a branch of the Shen family, a powerful clan of the Southern Yuan True Venerable, he was born to a maid and his innate spiritual root was of average purity. He was not valued by his family from a young age. The first beast he contracted was a second-tier spirit beast, the Earth-Escaped Silkworm, which was ignored by everyone in the Spirit Beast Pavilion.

It should be known that the Earth-Earth Silkworm is a spirit beast as thick as a child's arm and no more than three feet long. It resembles an earthworm, is timid, not good at fighting, and has almost no combat ability. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a disgrace to spirit beasts, and no earth-elemental spirit root cultivator is willing to form a contract with it.

However, Shen Lingxing relied solely on a burrowing silkworm to gradually rise to prominence in Nanyuan Prefecture, and then entered the Yuqing Immortal Sect through the Immortal Alliance College Entrance Examination, becoming the tenth on that year's list of rising stars.

Now, that earth-burrowing silkworm has risen with Shen Lingxing, and its bloodline has transformed into the Heavenly Gang Mystic Beast [Earth-Covering Dragon].

That's right, the Earth-Covering Dragon is also an earthworm, an earthworm that wriggles even more than the Earth-Dwelling Silkworm, but it granted Shen Lingxing extremely strong survival abilities and escape techniques, and successfully formed a contract with the second fellow beast, the Five Qi Vine.

What surprised Jiang Chuan Zhenjun even more was that ten years ago, Shen Lingxing, with his Golden Core Perfection cultivation, challenged the Nascent Soul True Monarch of Dongxuan Immortal Sect. After exchanging ten moves without being defeated, he retreated safely, which made him famous throughout the Immortal Alliance.

"When sparring with Senior Shen, my chances of winning are not high, only about 70 or 80%."

Chen Beiwu hesitated for a moment, then decided to be cautious and lower his expectations of winning by one or two percent in front of his senior brothers and sisters.

How much...?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan, Su Muyu, and Mo Chen were all taken aback.

Seeing the reactions of his senior brothers and sisters, Chen Beiwu smiled calmly and offered no explanation.

It wasn't that Chen Beiwu was arrogant; after forming the Primordial Golden Core, his intuition told him that he would find it difficult to find an opponent in the Golden Core realm.

Shen Lingxing's ability to fight against a Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Dongxuan Immortal Sect without defeat was due to his incredible life-saving abilities, not because he actually possessed formidable combat power approaching that of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

'Is the Primordial Golden Elixir truly so powerful?'

Jiang Chuan and the other two fell into deep thought.

It wasn't that they didn't believe their junior brother's explanation, but rather that the difference in age and cultivation between the two was simply too vast; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were geniuses from two different eras.

"Om."

Just then, a fluctuation suddenly came from the cave's grand formation, clearly indicating that someone outside was knocking on the door to pay a visit.

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Chen Beiwu.

"Please have a seat, everyone. I'll be right back."

With a thought, Chen Beiwu got up and released the array restrictions of the cave, preparing to go out to greet the distinguished guest so as not to disturb his senior brothers and sisters' conversation.

However, the moment he stood up, Su Muyu, Mo Chen, and Jiang Chuan simultaneously scanned the area with their divine senses and instantly recognized the newcomer.

'Interesting! Perhaps today I'll get to see the legendary Primordial Golden Elixir!'

Jiang Chuan and Mo Chen exchanged a glance, then stood up with Chen Beiwu.

Su Muyu raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Junior Brother, please wait. We will go with you."

……

Outside the Shuiyanju Cave.

Shen Lingxing, dressed in the chief Daoist robe of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, stood still and waited quietly.

Only after the cave gate opened and everyone came out did he perform the disciple's salute, bowing slightly with an attitude that was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Greetings to all the True Lords. I apologize for the intrusion today."

After completing the formalities, Shen Lingxing looked at Chen Beiwu and smiled slightly: "This must be Junior Brother Chen Beiwu, who forged the Primordial Golden Core, right? I've long admired your name!"

"My unexpected visit today is about the Immortal Sect Exchange Meeting."

Shen Lingxing got straight to the point: "Junior Brother Chen has forged the Primordial Golden Core, and his talent is unparalleled. However, leading the team at this Immortal Sect Exchange Meeting is extremely crucial, as he will need to face off against the top talents of each sect."

To ensure everything goes smoothly, Mr. Shen has come today to seek advice from Junior Brother Chen on a few key points in order to determine the team leader.

"I hope Junior Brother Chen will not hesitate to offer his guidance!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an incomparably powerful Golden Core aura instantly locked onto Chen Beiwu, fully demonstrating the strength of the chief disciple of the Immortal Sect.
