Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 321 An Encounter with a Cultivator
As night fell, the Chen family's Core Formation Ceremony came to an end, and the once bustling Chen family mansion gradually returned to tranquility.

Only a few distant relatives, their faces flushed from drinking, remained, discussing the arrival of the Prefect of Tianyan County, their tone still carrying a hint of disbelief.

Chen Beiwu declined his parents' invitation to the follow-up banquet and returned to the newly built third-level cultivation room of the Chen family.

After taking off the Taoist robe specially made by Ms. Huang Xiaoling, Chen Beiwu sat in the center of the meditation room, flipped his palm, and a pair of peaches appeared in his hand.

These two peaches are purplish-red all over, with plump flesh, about the size of a fist, and emit an enticing fragrance. They are the purple-veined peaches that the Prefect of Tianyan County presented as a congratulatory gift today. They are as old as five thousand years.

'The Nascent Soul True Venerable is indeed extraordinary; even a casual gift he gives is an irresistible gift,' Chen Beiwu murmured to himself.

Although the Purple-Veined Peaches are a third-tier precious medicine, they are an extremely rare longevity-promoting medicine among third-tier precious medicines.

In particular, the purple-veined peaches that are as old as five thousand years can clear away a cultivator's hidden injuries, defy fate, extend lifespan, and add eight hundred years to one's life.

What is this concept?
The lifespan of an ordinary Golden Core cultivator is only between eight hundred and twelve hundred years.

This means that if a cultivator can consume this peach, he/she can have a lifespan comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator.

For some Golden Core cultivators who are nearing the end of their lifespan but have no way to break through, this peach is no different from a second life, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is a priceless blessing.

'This favor was well worth it.'

Chen Beiwu lightly touched the peach with his fingertips, his gaze seemingly able to penetrate the walls of the cultivation room and see his parents looking proud in front of relatives and friends.

He has just completed his golden elixir and has a long lifespan, so he has no worries about his lifespan for the time being.

For Chen Beiwu, the purple-veined peach was merely an embellishment, something he could do without but not really possess; it was hardly a treasure.

However, his father, Chen Dong, worked in a tile factory in his early years, and his qi and blood declined early due to the invasion of fire poison. In addition, as he got older, even though he now had enough resources for cultivation, it was difficult for him to advance to the limit of qi refining.

Because her mother, Huang Xiaoling, failed to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage years ago, she suffered from many hidden injuries caused by cold poison, which greatly reduced her cultivation speed. Now her cultivation level is only at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

That is why these two purple-veined peaches are invaluable treasures to the two elders, capable of reversing time and embarking on the path of cultivation once again.

With this in mind, Chen Beiwu carefully put away the purple-patterned peach, intending to give it to his parents before returning to the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.

As for the two Earthly Fiend Beast cubs, the Summoning Tiger and the Netherworld Turtle, since they were only recently born, even though the contract was quite difficult, their parents could gradually cultivate their bond through years of feeding and companionship and establish a shared contract, so he didn't need to interfere much.

"Na?"

Just then, Wu Qi Teng hugged Chen Beiwu's neck and acted coquettishly.

Knowing its own priorities, it didn't ask for the purple-striped peaches, but instead wanted two peach pits, intending to cultivate two peach trees in the Five Qi Forest itself.

“No problem,” Chen Beiwu readily agreed.

Five-Five Vine is a natural spiritual plant master.

If he could grow two peach trees, it would be a joyous occasion for him.

"When are you going to the Tianyan Sect to recruit disciples?"

The golden egg raised its head slightly, looking curious.

"No rush, let's wait for the Immortal Sect Exchange Conference," Chen Beiwu said calmly.

The matter of accepting disciples is related to the inheritance of the Daoist path, and it is also the core of his future power building.

He couldn't easily be bound to the Tianyan County Prefect's faction just because of a pair of purple-striped peaches.

Whether Wei Qing can ultimately become his disciple depends on fate and, more importantly, on her character; being the great-granddaughter of the Prefect of Tianyan County alone is far from enough.

"Tiedan, how's your comprehension of those two evolution techniques going?"

Chen Beiwu's gaze fell on Tie Dan, who was lying face down on the ground.

In order to maximize the transformative power of the Primordial Golden Elixir, he planned to forge a Shared Journey Contract at the crucial moment of the Iron Egg's bloodline evolution, thus achieving his goal in one fell swoop.

However, this came at a price: without his help, Tie Dan's comprehension of the evolution method was extremely slow.

"Wang."

Tie Dan let out a low growl.

It has successfully comprehended the Candlelight Emperor's Evolution Method, but it has yet to grasp the true meaning of the Pure Karma Burning Dragon Evolution Method.

At this rate, it will take at least two to three months to complete its pre-evolutionary preparations.

Chen Beiwu nodded slightly, his gaze falling on the Five Qi Vine.

"Na?"

Five Qi Vine's heart skipped a beat; in Chen Beiwu's eyes, it saw an unprecedented solemnity.

"There's something I must tell you," Chen Beiwu said earnestly.

Five Qi Vine tilted its head, looking very curious.

"But this matter concerns a great secret. Once you know it, we will share both prosperity and ruin, and the covenant we have made will never be dissolved."

At this point, Chen Beiwu paused, giving the Five Qi Vine time to consider:

"So now the choice is yours. Do you want to know this secret and join us completely, or do you want to terminate the covenant and return to the Jade Purity Mountains?"

Five Qi Vine was stunned for a moment, its gaze shifting. It glanced at the restless golden egg on the left, then looked at the serious-looking iron egg, feeling quite shocked and disappointed.

Good heavens, Chen Beiwu has a big secret that even the dumbest, most foolish dragon knows, yet it was excluded.

"Hey!" (Speak quickly!)
The little flower on the top of the Five Qi Vine wilted, and its eyes glared fiercely at Chen Beiwu.

Tie them up tight!
It wanted to know what secret made Chen Beiwu so cautious, even willing to break the co-existing contract to keep it a secret.

Could it be that Chen Beiwu is a reincarnated immortal who has cultivated again?
Seeing the Five Qi Vine reacting so strongly, Chen Beiwu had expected it and reached out to hug it.

The Five Qi Vine, which had been baring its teeth and claws, ready to accuse someone, suddenly froze, its expression gradually returning to calm, and even the corners of its mouth turned up slightly.

Despite its anger, it also knew just how important the secret that made Chen Beiwu so cautious was.

Chen Beiwu's statement, "The Covenant of Shared Learning will never be dissolved," secretly delighted Wu Qiteng.

Precious medicine is valuable, but freedom is even more precious.

That's true, but it had long been used to following Chen Beiwu around.

"It's hard to say. Let me take you through it myself, and you'll understand."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Beiwu activated the Spirit-Nourishing Ring, put away the Five Qi Vines, and then opened the Gate of Ten Directions.

……

In the Southern Wilderness, in the Biyuan Mountains, there is a simple cave dwelling.

Chen Beiwu activated the Spirit-Nourishing Ring, and the figures of the three pets slowly appeared.

"Na!"

As soon as it appeared, the Five Qi Vine sensed something was wrong with this place.

The spiritual energy permeating the world not only carried an inescapable sense of desolation and wilderness, but also made the bloodline within its body more active.

Five Qi Vine swallowed hard, then stretched out its little hand and gently touched forward.

"Om."

A wisp of Five Elements Treasure Light instantly condensed at its fingertips.

Upon seeing this, Wu Qi Teng couldn't help but blink, revealing an incredulous expression.

Its perception was correct; it had left the Immortal Alliance and arrived at a mysterious blessed land. The rules of heaven and earth in this blessed land were different from those of Tianyuan Star. Not only was it easier to mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but even the power of one's bloodline could increase by 50% to 70% out of nowhere.

what does this mean?
This means that in this world, even if its realm remains unchanged, it can exert strength far superior to that of the Immortal Alliance, and may even be able to defeat two of itself in the form of the Immortal Alliance with overwhelming advantage.

Do you understand now?

Chen Beiwu's voice suddenly rang out from behind Wu Qiteng.

"Na."

The small flower atop the Five Qi Vine trembled slightly.

It is no exaggeration to say that there is a blessed land with abundant resources that the Immortal Alliance has never discovered, which is enough for Chen Beiwu to prove the Dao and become a True Venerable, or even the Dao Venerable position that he has never dreamed of.

But after the initial shock, an indescribable excitement and longing, stemming from instinct, surged within Wuqi Teng.

The Five Qi Vine itself is a manifestation of an innate spiritual object, and its perception of precious and mysterious medicines far surpasses that of any human cultivator.

Although the spiritual energy of the world where it is now located is not as strong as that of the Yuqing Mountains, it exudes a faint, unfamiliar medicinal fragrance.

Without a doubt, this blessed land is vast and boundless, containing precious and mysterious medicines that even the Immortal Alliance has never recorded, and even the primordial medicine of creation.

What an amazing opportunity it would be if we could collect them all and plant them in the Five Elements Forest!

No wonder Chen Beiwu was so cautious; he even chose to keep it a secret from it.

"Na."

Wu Qi Teng turned around and solemnly nodded to Chen Beiwu.

If you do not betray me, I will not betray you.

Since Chen Beiwu was willing to share such an extraordinary opportunity with it, it would never betray Chen Beiwu's trust, even if it died.

Sensing the sincerity in the Five Qi Vine's heart through the Covenant, Chen Beiwu felt a warmth in his heart and gently stroked the little guy's head with his right hand.

As he expected, most of the Heavenly Gang Mystic Beasts transformed from spiritual objects like the Five Qi Vine are pure of heart. When they first recognize a master, they are even more reliable than human cultivators who have made a vow of Dao Heart.

Of course, having a pure heart doesn't mean one won't betray, but that usually only happens with beasts that have been contracted with multiple cultivators.

Chen Beiwu possessed the Nine-Breath Chaos Treasure and supernatural powers, and having spent more than ten years with him, he naturally knew whether the Five Qi Vine was trustworthy.

Jin Dan yawned, stepped forward and patted Wu Qi Teng on the shoulder, indicating that Chen Beiwu held a high position in the Southern Wilderness and was a Daoist disciple of the sect. He said that if Chen Beiwu wanted any precious medicine, he could instruct the cultivators below to collect it.

Upon hearing this, Wu Qi Teng's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously looked at Chen Beiwu.

"These are all precious and rare medicines that I obtained in the Southern Wilderness. I am now entrusting them to you for safekeeping."

Chen Beiwu smiled slightly and took out the Golden Thunder Bamboo, Soul-Devouring Flower, Bodhi Vine, and Soul-Nourishing Lotus from his storage ring one by one, which excited the Five Qi Vine to no end.

"It's time to return to the sect."

Having dealt with the Five Qi Vine, Chen Beiwu raised his head and looked towards the direction of Biyuan Market.

He has been in seclusion for fourteen years to form his Golden Core. If he does not return to the sect, the sect may assume that he has failed to break through to the Golden Core stage and has perished, or even that he has defected from the sect.

Thinking of this, Chen Beiwu did not activate his escape light, nor did he ride the golden egg. Instead, he led his three pets towards Biyuan Market.

Returning to a familiar place brings a different feeling.

For Chen Beiwu, taking this opportunity to travel and experience nature was a rare experience.

"call out!"

Suddenly, a slightly hurried and flustered streak of light swept across the sky above Chen Beiwu.

This beam of light possessed a complex and mixed aura, and its strength was probably at the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Although the flight speed was fast, it clearly showed a sense of weakness and exhaustion, indicating that it was seriously injured.

"A Foundation Establishment cultivator being hunted down?"

Chen Beiwu's divine sense was extremely sharp. With just a light scan, he could figure out the strength of the person who was driving the escape light. He could even detect the three escape lights that were rushing towards him from thousands of feet away, filled with murderous intent. The auras they emitted were all at the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Without a doubt, this was a joint operation by Foundation Establishment cultivators to intercept and kill a Foundation Establishment rogue cultivator.

Chen Beiwu withdrew his divine sense, too lazy to bother with such a trivial matter.

With five major sects in charge, the upper levels of the Earthly Realm are relatively stable.

However, in the lower levels, many cultivators would fight and chase each other for a spiritual herb, a spiritual artifact, or even a fragmented Golden Core cultivation manual.

Only the cultivators of the five major sects and their affiliated sects could remain aloof, and no cultivator dared to make any rash moves.

Should we make a move?

The golden egg seemed eager to move.

Even the smallest mosquito is still meat. The Three Realms Demon General may not care about the opportunities of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, but it doesn't mind.

The existence of the Three-Phase Furnace allows even a Foundation Establishment level cultivator like the Golden Egg to gain a tiny bit of progress by absorbing its opportunities.

Chen Beiwu shook his head, rejecting the idea of ​​the golden egg.

These pursuing cultivators have chaotic auras and are all from independent cultivation backgrounds. They have no connection with the Mirror Moon Sect and are most likely engaged in double-crossing. There is no need to waste time getting involved.

Just then, the three streaks of light suddenly accelerated, blocking the streak of light passing over Chen Beiwu's head, and then quickly descended.

"Young man, why are you running? The sisters aren't going to eat you."

"That's right, your skin is so smooth and delicate, even more beautiful than a woman's. If you obediently submit to us sisters, you'll be well rewarded."

"Be a good girl, hand over your storage ring, and spend another month having fun with us three sisters, then we'll let you go, okay?"

Chen Beiwu initially didn't want to pay attention, but he was somewhat surprised to hear such vulgar language.

In broad daylight, under the clear sky, three Foundation Establishment female cultivators joined forces to abduct women!

It should be noted that Foundation Establishment cultivators are not considered low-level figures in the Southern Wilderness.

If one wishes, one could even become an elder in some low-level cultivation families. At that time, what kind of Daoist partner wouldn't one have? There would be no need to risk one's life to abduct women outside.

‘Damn it! ’

Looking at the three scantily clad and alluringly made-up female cultivators in front of him, Li Senyi felt a chill run down his spine.

These three female cultivators were no ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators; they were quite famous even in the vicinity of the Biyuan Mountains, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were infamous.

Rumor has it that these three were originally Qi Refining cultivators who somehow obtained a fragmented set of the Enchanting Love Technique and a set of combined attack techniques.

Then they began to commit murder, robbery, and sexual exploitation, calling themselves the "Three Beauties of the Ages," but the cultivators in the Biyuan Mountains who knew about their deeds called them the "Three Devouring Evils."

These three Fiends of Bone Corrosion have a bad reputation, but they are bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong. They know their limits and never lay a hand on cultivators from the affiliated sects and families of the five major sects. Sometimes they even offer them some tribute in exchange for protection.

Otherwise, if a mere few Foundation Establishment cultivators dared to be so arrogant, they would have been reduced to ashes long ago by the heavy blows of Biyuan Market.

Li Senyi looked at the three female cultivators who were closing in on him, his eyes filled with intense struggle.

He then gritted his teeth and hissed, "I have an opportunity to offer myself, could you spare my life?"

"Young master, are you still trying to play tricks when you're about to die? The Li family has long since declined. It's already quite an achievement that you've reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment. What kind of opportunity could you possibly have? Are you trying to stall for time?"

The leading female cultivator in red paused slightly, winked at Li Senyi, and spoke in a teasing tone.

The other two women exchanged a glance and slightly slowed their attacks, but did not stop. They clearly intended to capture Li Senyi alive and then use his sexual energy to kill him.
