Beast Taming and Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Mountain Chasing

Clean the scabs off the little black tiger's spots.

Chen Changqing gently patted the little black tiger's head and said with a smile, "Alright, little black tiger, get some rest tonight. We'll go to Dayang County for another check-up tomorrow."

The little black tiger raised its head, rubbed its wet nose against Chen Changqing's palm, and made a low "woof" sound in its throat.

It means, "I'm so hungry."

Chen Changqing smiled and rubbed the little black tiger's head: "Okay, I'll go get something to eat right away."

He got up and went to the kitchen, lit the stove, poured white rice into the pot, added an appropriate amount of water, and started cooking porridge.

There was no fresh meat at home, but luckily we had some dried meat.

Cut the dried meat into small pieces and put them in another pot to cook. The subtle aroma of meat quickly fills the air.

Soon, the simple meal was ready.

Chen Changqing served two bowls of porridge and two bowls of meat, and carried them into the inner room.

The little black tiger couldn't wait to come over, sniffing the aroma of the porridge with its nose, and then began to eat it in big mouthfuls, its tail wagging occasionally, looking very satisfied.

Chen Changqing sat to the side, watching the little black tiger wolf down its food, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

After eating, the man and the tiger went to bed to rest.

The little black tiger curled up beside Chen Changqing and soon fell asleep, emitting soft snores.

Chen Changqing rubbed Xiao Hei's head and then drifted off to sleep.

In the stillness of the night, moonlight streamed through the window, bathing everything in a silvery glow.

After the little black tiger fell asleep, the Soul-Devouring Creation Black Lotus in its mind continued to burn fiercely, its gentle energy slowly repairing the little black tiger's injuries while quietly strengthening its physical body.

The power of the black lotus was like a warm current, slowly refining the spiritual power in Xiao Hei's body, making it more pure.

The next morning, Chen Changqing vaguely heard a rustling sound and immediately opened his eyes.

Xiao Hei wasn't with me; he was in the yard.

Chen Changqing opened the window and looked outside.

They discovered that Xiao Hei was wearing his own weighted vest and was running around the yard at high speed.

The little black tiger moved swiftly, like a black lightning bolt, darting across the courtyard.

Its movements are light and swift, and it makes almost no sound when its four claws touch the ground, as if it were one with the ground.

Its muscles taut and stretch as it runs, displaying a wild power and beauty.

Chen Changqing was somewhat lost in thought.

Xiao Hei was even faster and more agile than it was yesterday before it got injured.

His agile appearance showed no sign of injury whatsoever.

It seems that the Soul-Devouring Black Lotus not only repaired its injuries but also greatly strengthened its body.

The little black tiger sensed Chen Changqing's gaze, suddenly stopped, and turned to look towards the window.

Its eyes gleamed brightly in the morning light, and it let out a low "roar" from its throat.

It means he made a breakthrough.

The little demon has reached level two.

Chen Changqing sensed that Xiao Hei's spiritual energy had indeed become much stronger, clearly reaching the level of a second-level Lesser Demon.

Chen Changqing sensed his own spiritual power.

He discovered that the spiritual energy mist within his body had condensed into threads.

Overjoyed, he couldn't help but exclaim softly, "Finally, I've reached the first level of Qi Refining!"

Although he could sense that advancing to the first level of Qi Refining was just around the corner.

But when I woke up, my cultivation level had improved, which was quite a pleasant surprise.

Once the spiritual energy condenses into threads, these threads of spiritual energy can be used to slowly open up the meridians.

You can try alchemy and talisman drawing.

You can also learn some basic spells.

He can be considered a true beast-taming immortal.

Divine perception.

"Soul-Devouring Black Lotus"

"Owner: Chen Changqing"

"Cultivation level of magical power: Qi Refining Level 1"

Physical Cultivation Level: Body Refinement Level 1 (131/200)

"Spell: None"

「技能：箭术1级（78/200），爬树0级（35/100），书法0级（19/100）」

Chen Changqing was overjoyed and beckoned to the little black tiger, "Little Black, come here!"

Upon hearing the call, the little black tiger immediately rushed over, leaping from the yard to the window in a few bounds.

It nimbly jumped into the room, rubbed against Chen Changqing's leg, and held its tail high, looking very proud.

Chen Changqing examined the little black tiger's injuries and found that the scabs on its body had already fallen off.

It has fully recovered.

Chen Changqing asked, "Are you feeling any discomfort?"

"Awoo." The little black tiger shook its head and gestured with its paws, indicating that it was in better condition than ever before and its whole body was full of power.

Chen Changqing touched the scab on his chest, and the scab fell off directly, revealing the intact skin underneath, smooth as new.

"That's amazing." Chen Changqing couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, never expecting that the gentle energy of the Soul Devouring Creation Black Lotus would be so powerful.

He sat up, stretched his limbs, and felt full of energy.

Chen Changqing rubbed the little black tiger's head and asked, "You little rascal, why are you so diligent today? You got up early to train."

The little black tiger let out a few "roars" and gestured with its paws.

He told Chen Changqing that he wanted to become stronger and protect Chen Changqing.

The profound sense of powerlessness and despair he felt yesterday triggered Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei is preparing to train even harder.

Other spirit beasts, if trained too rigorously, would need to be supplemented with a large amount of rare and precious materials, but he doesn't need that.

He has burning black petals, and he can become stronger with effort.

He needs to work hard.

He wants to become stronger.

The little black tiger's eyes burned with a burning desire for power.

Then, the little black tiger rubbed against Chen Changqing's face, "Awoo awoo".

It means that we'll prepare an even heavier weighted vest for him later.

"Okay." Chen Changqing nodded, then rubbed the little black tiger's head: "You continue training in the yard. I'll wash up and make breakfast. After we eat, we'll go to Dayang County to check you out and see if there's anything wrong."

The little black tiger looks so lively and energetic, it seems there's nothing wrong with its health.

However, his injuries yesterday were too severe; he was almost dead.

You should still get it checked.

In case there are any aftereffects.

Get checked early and treated early.

Most importantly, his neighbor was a monster.

It is a monster even more powerful than the Iron-Beaked Rock Eagle of Bilizheng.

Yesterday, the mist shadow cat with the sixth level of cultivation left him with a serious trauma.

Although fox spirits generally do not kill people.

But what if he's in a bad mood that day and wants to kill him to vent his anger?

He wouldn't dare stay here.

First, go to Dayang County and tell your brother-in-law that your female neighbor is a vixen.

Tell your brother-in-law to bring men and kill the fox demon.

A fox demon with the sixth level of cultivation is a treasure from head to toe, priceless.

My brother-in-law would probably be very happy to bring people along.

Moreover, his cultivation level has now advanced to the first level of Qi Refining.

You can now open your meridians, practice magic, or draw talismans.

Although the practice of magic and the drawing of talismans are quite difficult.

But he possesses the Soul-Devouring Creation Black Lotus, so he should be able to master it quickly.

If one becomes a talisman master,

I must go to Dayang County to learn the art of drawing talismans and magic.

Breakfast was again white rice porridge and dried meat.

But Chen Changqing and Xiao Hei both ate with great relish.

They ate and drank their fill.

After packing up quickly, Chen Changqing took the little black tiger and left home, leaving the town and heading towards Dayang County.

The little black tiger was full of energy throughout the journey, sometimes running back and forth, sometimes rubbing against Chen Changqing's leg, appearing exceptionally affectionate.

About two hours later, Chen Changqing arrived in Dayang County.

The city gate of Dayang County stands majestically, and the city walls, built of bluestone, are tall and thick.

The city walls are carved with intricate runes, faintly radiating spiritual energy, clearly a defensive formation set up to resist the invasion of demons.

On either side of the city gate stood several armored guards, holding spears, their sharp eyes scanning the pedestrians coming and going.

Beside each of the guards stood a golden cheetah.

The golden cheetah was two meters long and nearly one meter tall. Its tail swayed slowly, radiating spiritual energy fluctuations from the third level of a Lesser Demon.

Those guards also exuded the aura of the first level of Qi Refining.

The guards at this city gate are all Golden Leopard Guards of the Zhao Clan.

Based on his predecessor's memories, Chen Changqing learned the following.

In the Great Yan Immortal Kingdom where he lived, the Great Yan royal family and immortal cultivation families jointly governed the country.

The Great Yan royal family entrusted the management of each prefecture and county to a family of cultivators.

Cultivation families pay a fixed amount of immortal tax to the Great Yan royal family every year.

Chen Changqing's hometown, Dayang County, and the surrounding towns are managed by the three Foundation Establishment Immortal Clans of Dayang County.

Dayang County is home to three major Foundation Establishment Immortal Clans.

The Wang Clan, the Zhao Clan, and the Sun Clan are all immortal clans.

The Zhao Immortal Clan is the strongest because its Foundation Establishment True Person has the cultivation level of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

The Zhao clan of immortals is the head of the three major immortal clans in Dayang County.

The magistrate of Dayang County was a member of the Zhao clan.

The city gate guards, the Golden Leopard Guards, were under the jurisdiction of the magistrate of Dayang County.

The county magistrate of Dayang County was a member of the Wang clan.

The county magistrate of Dayang County was a member of the Sun clan.

Apart from these three positions, the vast majority of the remaining positions are held by members of the three major immortal clans.

Even the village heads of the surrounding towns are mostly members of the three great immortal clans, or at least relatives of them.

all in all.

All industries in Dayang County are controlled by the three immortal clans.

The vast majority of resources are occupied by the three immortal clans.

Chen Changqing discovered that he knew all the guards in his previous life.

However, the other party disliked their predecessor and often took care of their past lives.

Chen Changqing didn't bother to greet them; instead, he led the little black tiger towards the city gate.

The guard's gaze lingered on him for a moment, and he sighed inwardly that this bastard had returned again.

Previously, stealing the undergarment of Magistrate Wang's daughter had infuriated Magistrate Wang.

If we catch it, we might beat it to death.

The guard, expressionless, waved for them to pass.
