Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 341 Tianyan Immortal Sect
The flames were not scorching hot; the outer layer was a deep blue, while the core was milky white, emanating a pure and flawless aura that brought peace to the mind.

"This is the Soul-Stabilizing Fire, which is gentle and pure. It can stabilize the mind and strengthen the body, resist the invasion of inner demons, and assist cultivators in their cultivation. However, it is not very useful to me."

Yu Zhaohua gently flicked the flames with her fingertips, as if she were teasing a pet.

"Something seems off about this Soul-Stabilizing Flame," Chen Beiwu said, his brow furrowing slightly.

Although he had never heard of the Soul-Stabilizing Flame, he was well aware of the power and ferocity of the Desolate-Rank Strange Flame, which was almost comparable to the power of a Fourth-Rank Demon King.

Even if Yu Zhaohua possesses a fire-attribute innate Dao body, it would probably be difficult for him to subdue a desolate-grade strange fire.

Moreover, in Chen Beiwu's perception, this Soul-Stabilizing Flame had a restrained aura and a weak flame, as if it might go out at any moment.

This is completely inconsistent with the strange fire of heaven and earth recorded in ancient books; it is more like the natal beast fire of a second-tier spirit beast.

"Senior Brother Chen has a good eye."

Yu Zhaohua nodded slightly, her tone frank: "Strange fires are rare, especially the Soul-Stabilizing Fire, which is beneficial to the soul of cultivators and whose origin can be used as medicine."

She was born into the Daoist Immortal Clan, whose elders had already prepared precious resources for her to advance to the Nascent Soul True Monarch stage.

The fourth-grade superior-level Xuan Dan Ding Shen Dan is one of them. It can help a Golden Core cultivator stabilize their soul, condense the Yang Shen in the Purple Mansion, and attain the Nascent Soul True Lord status.

The Soul-Stabilizing Flame in her hand was some of the original essence of the strange flame that was left over after the elders of the clan refined the Mind-Stabilizing Pill.

Because its source was too depleted, even if this Soul-Stabilizing Flame were slowly nurtured with time and resources, it could only recover a portion of its power; otherwise, Yu Zhaohua would never have been able to take it out.

"Although this fire is incomplete in its origin, if Senior Brother Chen is willing to spend the cost to nurture it with rare and precious materials such as pure marrow syrup, it may not be impossible to restore some of its power."

With a flick of her finger, Yu Zhaohua gently pushed the Soul-Stabilizing Flame toward Chen Beiwu.

Chen Beiwu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he feigned hesitation before asking, "How much?"

Tie Dan's awakening of the Great Heavenly Purification Prison Form requires the absorption of the strange fire as ashes and its integration into the Purification Prison Form. There are no restrictions on the strength of the strange fire's origin, but the power of the Dharma Form may be slightly reduced.

But there are both advantages and disadvantages.

Although the Soul-Stabilizing Flame in Yu Zhaohua's hand was depleted of its source and its power greatly reduced, it also meant that it was easy to control and the risk of refining it was extremely low.

Tie Dan's cultivation level is currently only at the late Golden Core stage. Even if Chen Beiwu truly possessed a powerful Desolate-Rank Strange Flame, he wouldn't dare let Tie Dan refine it rashly, as that would be no different from a snake swallowing an elephant.

Despite his interest, Chen Beiwu still planned to negotiate the price, considering the future pressure of cultivating Golden Eggs, Iron Eggs, Five Qi Vine, and Little Fox.

"Thirty thousand spirit essences, but..."

At this point, Yu Zhaohua paused deliberately, carefully observing Chen Beiwu's reaction.

Chen Beiwu: “???”

He originally planned to cut the price, but Yu Zhaohua offered an unbelievably low price.

"But what?"

Chen Beiwu did not agree immediately, but instead glanced at Yu Zhaohua.

“Brother Chen needs to have a discussion with me once a month to help me verify my understanding of cultivation.”

Yu Zhaohua smiled and revealed her true intentions: "Of course, if Senior Brother Chen is willing to teach and explain the many key points of the Taiyi Five Directions Nine Revolutions Foundation Method, Junior Sister can offer another strange fire free of charge."

"Is it also a strange fire with incomplete origin?" Chen Beiwu raised an eyebrow.

"of course not."

Yu Zhaohua shook her head, her gaze towards Chen Beiwu devoid of any romantic affection, only filled with an indomitable spirit.

A temporary victory or defeat does not define forever.

Chen Beiwu is indeed exceptionally talented and has extraordinary comprehension, like an insurmountable peak, but we can learn from others' experiences.

In Yu Zhaohua's eyes, Chen Beiwu was undoubtedly the best whetstone!
“Sparring once a month is too frequent,” Chen Beiwu shook his head slightly.

Those who learn from me live, those who resemble me die.

For Chen Beiwu, imparting the Taiyi Five Directions Nine Revolutions Foundation Method was nothing special; he originally wanted to open a path to cultivate the fortune of all living beings.

If handled well, Yu Zhaohua's initiative to comprehend the Taiyi Five Directions Foundation Method could become a benchmark, guiding the direction of cultivation and leading many geniuses of the Yuqing Immortal Sect onto the path of the Nascent Soul stage.

With the blessing of numerous immortal sect prodigies, even if only a portion of their fortune is bestowed upon him, Chen Beiwu is confident that he can attain the position of True Monarch without consuming the Immortal Alliance's fourth-tier Nascent Soul Pill.

"How about five times a year?" Yu Zhaohua took a step back.

“Okay, but it has to be based on my schedule.” Chen Beiwu nodded in agreement.

Since the other party is willing to get beaten up, he doesn't mind warming up a bit.

"This is the Jade Slip of the Foundation of Taiyi, containing my annotations and insights."

The transaction was successful. Chen Beiwu's storage ring flashed with light, and he tossed a jade slip to Yu Zhaohua: "Take this back and study it first. If you have any questions, you can ask me through the phone."

"Aren't you afraid I'll go back on my word and it will get out?"

Yu Zhaohua was quite surprised to see Chen Beiwu so agreeable.

It should be noted that on the official website of the Immortal Alliance, Chen Beiwu's method for creating the initial pill has attracted countless discussions among Foundation Establishment cultivators, causing quite a stir. In fact, cultivators from the Thirteen Immortal Sects have been buying the technique at high prices.

Chen Beiwu remained silent, glancing speechlessly at Yu Zhaohua.

He only sent out a few copies of the Taiyi Wonderful Method Jade Slip, and the contents of each copy differed somewhat.

If the Taiyi Wonderful Method were exposed, he could easily identify the source of the leak.

However, none of the cultivators who were able to obtain the jade slip from Chen Beiwu were fools, and it was almost impossible for them to pass it on.

"I will present you with a different kind of fire before the Immortal Sect Exchange Meeting begins."

Yu Zhaohua realized he had asked a stupid question and quickly activated his escape light to leave.

Chen Beiwu put away the Soul-Stabilizing Flame and looked towards the direction of Jade Purity Peak.

……

An hour later, Chen Beiwu walked out of the Yuqing Hall with a joyful expression, under the watchful eyes of the two Xuandu Protectors, Qinghe and Yuyue.

"The sect leader is actually being so generous this time!"

Watching Chen Beiwu's figure disappear, Yu Yue Dao Tong frowned.

"That's normal. The Immortal Sect Exchange Conference is about to begin, and the current Chief of Shangqing and Chief of Taiqing are not simple."

Qinghe Daotong chuckled: "If Chen Beiwu can overpower the chief disciples of the Shangqing and Taiqing Immortal Sects at the Immortal Sect Exchange Conference, what are a few strange flames and some spiritual energy?"

"Too."

Yu Yue Dao Tong's voice changed: "The premise is that he can do it."

"If we don't try, who knows?" Qinghe Daotong said calmly.

"There's just one thing I'm curious about: why didn't Chen Beiwu seek the Nascent Soul Pill, but instead opted for the rare fire, which isn't very useful?" Jade Moon Daoist tilted his head.

Qinghe Daotong glanced sideways at Yuyue Daotong and said, "Because it's unnecessary, no one but Chen Beiwu can hold the position of chief of Yuqing in this generation."

Meanwhile, Shuiyanju.

Back in his cave, Chen Beiwu sat cross-legged and took out the Soul-Stabilizing Fire.

"Wang."

Upon seeing the strange fire, Tie Dan's eyes lit up, and he looked impatient.

How confident are you?

Chen Beiwu reached out and pressed down on Tie Dan's head that was leaning in.

"Wang."

'Seventy percent? That's too low!'

Chen Beiwu shook his head and put away the Soul-Stabilizing Fire: 'No rush. Once you successfully complete the Golden Core chapter of the *Crimson Bright Nine Luminaries Sun-Devouring Nirvana Scripture*, the success rate of refining the Soul-Stabilizing Fire should increase to 90%.'

Time flies, and it was a week before the Immortal Sect Exchange Conference began.

Chen Beiwu opened his eyes, his storage ring flashed with a faint light, and he changed his clothes into a Jade Purity Daoist robe.

Tie Dan remained lying face down with his eyes closed, his aura rising and falling.

"Has the Iron Egg not been successfully refined yet?" The Golden Egg yawned.

"Wait another quarter of an hour, it should be about time." Chen Beiwu said calmly.

During this period, with his hands-on teaching and initiation, Tie Dan successfully grasped the basics of the "Red Bright Nine Luminaries Sun-Swallowing Nirvana Sutra" and comprehended two profound paths of killing and combat.

Even so, Tie Dan's efficiency in refining the strange fire was still somewhat slow, which was beyond Chen Beiwu's expectations.

"Om."

Not long after, a fluctuation came from the cave's access control.

With a thought, Chen Beiwu canceled the restriction and opened the cave door, revealing a slender and graceful figure.

"Here, this is the strange fire I promised you earlier."

Yu Zhaohua flipped her hand, and a dark brown jade cup, about the size of an egg, appeared in her palm.

"Buzz!"

The jade cup trembled slightly, emitting a low hum.

With a thought, Chen Beiwu could faintly sense a terrifyingly violent aura even through the jade cup.

"This fire is called the Dissolution Azure Fire. It is violent and bloodthirsty, and it is constantly raging. It must be sealed with the Fire-Suppressing Mystic Lamp to suppress its power."

Yu Zhaohua handed over the trembling jade cup: "As agreed, it is now yours."

Chen Beiwu took the jade cup with both hands, raising an eyebrow: "Then what about this jade cup?"

"It's alright, you can borrow it for now. Just remember to return it to me when you're done." Yu Zhaohua waved his hand and handed over another jade slip.

Chen Beiwu accepted the jade slip, and with a sweep of his divine sense, a surge of information flooded into his mind.

'The Dissolving Azure Flame, born from the essence of the earth's veins and the fiery energy of metal and stone, has a bluish-gray flame, its color resembling rust. It is primarily for killing and can ignite blood and blood, burn away impure magical power, and dissolve the divine consciousness...'

After reading the information on the jade slip, Chen Beiwu was quite satisfied.

The Disintegration Azure Flame can neither be used for alchemy nor for weapon forging. It has no other use except for combat and killing. However, its power is formidable, and even a fourth-realm demon king would lose most of his life if he were to come into contact with it.

It was precisely because this fire was too dangerous that Yu Zhaohua was so careful and used the Fire-Suppressing Mystic Lamp to seal it away.

"Senior Brother Chen, it's best if you don't completely unseal the Xuanzhan before you attain the Nascent Soul True Monarch realm," Yu Zhaohua gently reminded him.

If the Disintegration Azure Flame within the Mystic Lamp were to erupt and collapse in one go, the resulting immense power would be enough to take away a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

Fortunately, Chen Beiwu possesses combat power comparable to a Nascent Soul True Monarch. As long as he is careful and cautious, refining this Dissociation Azure Flame one strand at a time should not lead to any unexpected problems.

"Wang."

Tie Dan twitched his nose slightly, then suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Xuan Zhan, and revealed an eager expression.

Seeing this, Chen Beiwu stretched out his arm, letting Tie Dan use Xuan Tong to shrink his size and jump onto his shoulder.

"Thank you for the reminder, we should go now." Chen Beiwu activated his escape light.

Today happens to be the day he leads his team to the Tianyan Immortal Sect; otherwise, Yu Zhaohua wouldn't have arrived at such a convenient time.

On the other side, in the student council hall of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.

A dozen or so distinguished young talents sat scattered around, some leaning against the window, some sitting upright, and some resting with their eyes closed.

"What a grand display."

A young man dressed in a black Taoist robe suddenly snorted coldly.

"It's only been ten minutes. Perhaps something happened that delayed us. Let's wait a little longer," Shen Lingxing said calmly.

He had no hostility towards Chen Beiwu; it was just that some of his colleagues of many years disapproved of Chen Beiwu's tardiness.

Upon hearing this, the black-robed cultivator fell silent, his gaze occasionally drifting towards the council hall.

"tread!"

"tread!"

"tread!"

Upon hearing footsteps outside the hall, all the prodigies present straightened their expressions.

"I apologize, my cultivation has reached a critical moment, which has taken up some time. I apologize for keeping you all waiting."

Chen Beiwu and Yu Zhaohua pushed open the door and entered, their eyes sweeping over everyone, their voices clear and bright.

Just then, the black-robed cultivator was the first to stand up.

Just when the assembled prodigies thought Ling Tong would make sarcastic remarks, the latter instead smiled and bowed respectfully.

"Senior Brother Chen, you flatter us. We have only just arrived ourselves."

"There is still plenty of time, so Senior Brother Chen need not worry about such a trivial matter."

Upon hearing Ling Tong's words, all the geniuses present had a slight change in their eyes and turned their gazes toward Shen Lingxing, who was seated in the main seat.

“Ling Tong is right. The flying boat to Tianyan Prefecture is ready and can depart at any time. There’s no need to rush,” Shen Lingxing stood up and agreed.

Since there was no conflict of interest between him and Chen Beiwu, there was no need to damage their relationship.

……

Chunyang Dao, Tianyan Prefecture.

Tianyan City.

As the gateway to the Tianyan Immortal Sect, one of the thirteen immortal sects, Tianyan City can be said to be the premier gathering place for weapon-refining masters and the leading center for trading magical treasures in the Pure Yang Dao and even the entire Immortal Alliance.

Every day, countless cultivators seeking magical artifacts and treasures, or merchant caravans traveling to and from the city, flock to this place, showcasing the prosperity of a major city in a state.

However, the atmosphere around Tianyan City Airport today is somewhat unusual.

In the VIP parking area of ​​Airport One, whether they were weary businessmen or powerful cultivators, they couldn't help but slow down and subconsciously cast their gazes in that direction.

The reason was that five Golden Core cultivators dressed in black and red Taoist robes were standing in the parking area.

These Golden Core cultivators were all young-looking and had extraordinary bearing. They were either handsome men or beautiful women, and the cuffs and lapels of their black and red Taoist robes were embroidered with the Five Flames Treasure Furnace pattern.

The Five Flames Treasure Furnace pattern is the signature feature of the overlord of Tianyan City and the disciple of Tianyan Immortal Sect.

'Hiss! It's actually a Golden Core cultivator from the Heavenly Flame Immortal Sect!'

'Just who is this person who has arrived? That the Golden Core cultivators of the Heavenly Flame Immortal Sect would make such a grand display!'

'Could it be the once-in-a-century Immortal Sect Exchange Conference?'

Some cultivators stopped and gazed at the flying boat slowly descending from the sky.

"Om."

As the airship landed, Chen Beiwu took the lead, guiding Yu Zhaohua, Mo Qingshuang, Ye Xinya, and Xue Tianyi off the ship.

'finally come! '

Upon seeing this, the leading Golden Core cultivator of the Tianyan Immortal Sect narrowed his eyes and stood up to greet him.

"Fellow Daoists of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, welcome to Tianyan City."

"I am Gao Chang, here on orders from the sect to welcome you fellow Daoists into the sect."

Zhou Gaochang met Chen Beiwu's gaze with unwavering composure.

Given his noble birth, he shouldn't have personally taken on the task of welcoming guests; that responsibility should have been handled by other Golden Core cultivators from the sect.

But when Zhou Gaochang thought of the many accolades he had received, such as "comprehension almost demonic", "invincible among his peers", "defeating enemies beyond his realm", "foundation building and paving the way", and "primordial golden core", he couldn't help but want to see Chen Beiwu, who was famous in the Immortal Alliance, with his own eyes, and see if this boy was a true peerless genius or just a cultivator with a reputation that was not real.

'This person is indeed extraordinary!'

Zhou Gaochang's heart sank after just one glance at Chen Beiwu.

"Everyone, please follow me."
