Beast Taming and Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Mountain Chasing

The Misty Shadow Cat is Zhao Jingqi's contracted spirit beast.

Zhao Jingqi was one of the most powerful figures in the Zhao Immortal Clan, and I had seen him from afar in my previous life.

Chen Changqing stepped forward and respectfully asked, "You must be Dr. Zhao Jingqi. My brother-in-law, Zhao Jingming, said that you are the best spiritual veterinarian, and told me to come to you. I guarantee I'm on the right track."

Let's get on my brother-in-law's good side first, otherwise I'll have to ask him for a high price later.

And you know what? Ordinary people really do ask for an exorbitant amount from rare and exotic animals and their veterinarians.

A top physician like Zhao Jingqi from the Spirit Beast Hall would certainly ask for an exorbitant amount.

It can completely drain an ordinary beast tamer.

"So you're Jingming's brother-in-law. Please have a seat."

Sure enough, when Zhao Jingqi heard that Chen Changqing was Zhao Jingming's brother-in-law, he immediately became much more polite.

"You want to see this little black tiger?" Zhao Jingqi asked gently.

Chen Changqing nodded and respectfully said, "My little black tiger was injured before, but it's a bit better now. I'd like to have it checked to see if there are any lasting effects."

Zhao Jingqi smiled slightly: "Alright, please follow me."

Chen Changqing carried Xiao Wan'er and led the little black tiger into the clinic, arriving at a spacious room.

In the center of the room was a stone platform, surrounded by various medicinal herbs and medicine bottles.

Zhao Jingqi looked at the little black tiger and said, "Little black tiger, lie down on this stone bed."

Little Black Tiger was somewhat afraid of Zhao Jingqi, but still looked at Chen Changqing.

He will only obey his master's orders.

Chen Changqing repeated himself, and this time the little black tiger lightly leaped onto the stone platform and obediently lay down.

Zhao Jingqi stepped forward, his body radiating spiritual energy.

Soon, spiritual energy gathered in his hands.

He gently placed his hand on the little black tiger's body and infused it with gentle spiritual energy.

Zhao Jingqi controlled the gentle spiritual energy to circulate within Xiao Hei's body, sensing Xiao Hei's physical condition.

Three minutes later, Zhao Jingqi's perception ended.

He first looked at Xiao Hei's eyes, then touched Xiao Hei's limbs, and then gently pricked Xiao Hei's paw with a silver needle to draw a drop of blood.

He sensed the spiritual energy emanating from his hands.

Inspection complete.

Zhao Jingqi looked at Chen Changqing with some surprise: "What did your little black tiger eat? He's perfectly healthy, without the slightest trace of injury."

Moreover, its condition was exceptionally good, with vigorous blood and energy. Most importantly, there was a strong life force within the black tiger's flesh and blood.

Chen Changqing shook his head: "I don't know what it ate either."

Zhao Jingqi naturally didn't believe such a thing, but everyone has their own secrets.

If others don't tell him, he won't ask anymore.

"By the way, what about the consultation fee?" Chen Changqing asked.

Zhao Jingming chuckled and said, "You're Jingming's brother-in-law, so two hundred silver leaves will do."

Two hundred silver leaves, two thousand copper coins.

Chen Changqing froze. He hadn't expected that simply checking the little black tiger would cost so much.

Chen Changqing chuckled awkwardly, "Could you make it a little cheaper? I only have four hundred and fifty-three copper coins on me."

Zhao Jingming's smile froze as he looked Chen Changqing up and down. This was the first time he had ever seen someone haggle over the price of a medical consultation.

He usually collected the consultation fee in advance, but when he heard that the other party was Zhao Jingqi's brother-in-law, he did not collect the money in advance.

Unexpectedly, the other party started to bargain.

Chen Changqing also felt a little embarrassed: "Then let's leave the little black tiger here for now. I'll go back and borrow money, and I'll come back to redeem it as soon as I get the money."

He also had a few cronies; if he agreed to some interest, borrowing another thousand copper coins wouldn't be a problem.

The little black tiger tilted its head, looking at Chen Changqing: "???"

Chen Changqing patted the little black tiger's head: "Just wait a little while, I'll come and redeem you as soon as I borrow the money."

If we don't bet on Little Black Tiger, we can't very well put Little Wan'er here.

Zhao Jinghui gave Chen Changqing a few deep looks, noting down the young man who was haggling over the price of medical treatment, and waved his hand: "Alright, alright, four hundred and fifty-three copper coins will do."

Anyway, there's no cost involved.

They detained Zhao Jingming's brother-in-law's black tiger for a mere thousand copper coins.

It's upsetting.

Losing face.

"Thank you, thank you." Chen Changqing thanked him repeatedly, took out all the money he had for the consultation, put it on the table, and left with Xiao Hei and Xiao Wan'er.

Stepping out of the clinic, Chen Changqing was once again penniless.

He had no copper coins left.

Only empty wallets.

poor.

I'm poor.

Chen Changqing sighed.

We still need to borrow money.

Because we also need to buy a weighted vest for Xiao Hei.

Holding Xiao Wan'er, he found another crony, Zhang Jinlong.

After agreeing to a three-tenths interest rate, he borrowed another thousand copper coins.

I spent 890 copper coins to buy a 400-pound weighted vest for Little Black Tiger.

There were also many great toys along the way.

Xiao Wan'er was tempted, but she didn't ask for any more.

He knew his uncle's money was borrowed.

However, Chen Changqing still spent two copper coins to buy a small wooden horse for Xiao Wan'er.

Little Wan'er ran happily, holding a small wooden horse in one hand and a small windmill in the other, shouting, "Uncle, hurry up and chase me!"

Chen Changqing followed behind, jogging to catch up.

Xiao Wan'er was very happy to see that Chen Changqing couldn't catch up with her: "Hahaha, Uncle, you're so slow, you're not even as fast as me."

They had a lot of fun and their laughter was very cheerful.

It was already late when I got home.

Chen Changyue had already prepared dinner. Seeing them return, she greeted them with a smile, "Gou Dan, come and eat! I made your favorite braised pork belly today."

During dinner, Xiao Wan'er ate candied hawthorns while chattering about the interesting things that happened at the clinic that day.

Chen Changqing buried himself in his food, occasionally putting food on Xiao Wan'er's plate.

Chen Changqing and Xiao Hei have big appetites. Chen Changyue had already cooked enough rice, and then added two large bowls of scrambled eggs.

Zhao Jingming and Chen Changyue were astonished to see this.

However, it's a good thing that beast tamers and spirit beasts can eat.

After dinner, Chen Changqing changed Xiao Hei into a weighted vest and sent him to train in the yard.

Despite wearing a heavy vest weighing a full 400 pounds, Xiao Hei was unusually light and agile.

Chen Changqing, carrying a stone block weighing over 300 pounds, chased after the little black tiger at top speed.

Chen Changqing discovered that running with weights can also improve physical fitness.

Moreover, this kind of training makes the body more agile.

Physical Fitness +1

Physical Fitness +1

The man and the tiger moved swiftly yet lightly, like two gentle breezes blowing through the courtyard.

This chase lasted for a full hour.

Chen Changyue and Zhao Jingming sat in the courtyard, watching the man and the tiger, their surprise growing.

Chen Changyue asked, "Jingming, Gou Dan and Xiao Hei Hu, haven't they become much stronger?"

Zhao Jingqi nodded: "Yes, he has indeed become much stronger. Changqing's physical fitness is approaching the second level of body refinement, and his endurance is also quite impressive."

"The little black tiger's stamina far surpasses that of an ordinary black tiger; it must have eaten some rare and precious herbs."

A hint of curiosity also appeared in Zhao Jingming's eyes.

rare and precious materials?

Chen Changyue was slightly taken aback. While feeling a bit gratified, she was also a bit worried. She whispered, "Where did Gou Dan get such rare and precious materials?"

They've most likely gone deep into the Cloud and Mist Mountains.

The depths of the Cloud and Mist Mountains are extremely dangerous.

She also wanted Chen Changqing to become very capable, so that he could bring her honor.

But she hoped even more that Chen Changqing could live a peaceful and healthy life.

Marry several wives to continue the Chen family line.

Little Wan'er sat in Zhao Jingming's arms and said in her childish voice, "Mommy, look, Uncle is so fast."

"Hmm." Chen Changyue nodded, then looked at Zhao Jingming: "Jingming, why don't you find Changqing a job in Dayang County? Look at Changqing, he's matured a lot now, he's sensible, and he won't cause trouble."

Zhao Jingming said, "Don't worry about that. I'll have Wang Chengwu keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't go any deeper into the Cloud Mist Mountain."

Zhao Jingming absolutely did not want Chen Changqing to stay in Dayang County.

Chen Changqing had a stroke of luck, and his strength improved slightly.

This only surprised him a little.

I was only slightly surprised.

There are countless cultivators, and everyone has some kind of opportunity.

What good is this mere stroke of luck?

Chen Changqing has no spiritual root; he is just a mortal.

Even as an adult, the little black tiger is only at the fourth level of the Lesser Demon realm, which is far too low.

This was a stroke of luck.

Could it enable Xiao Hei to break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining, and even the sixth level?

Even if Little Black Tiger breaks through to the seventh level of Qi Refining in the future.

At most, it could raise Chen Changqing's cultivation level to the fifth level of Qi Refining.

What difference does it make if you have a Qi Refining Level 5 contracted spirit beast with a Qi Refining Level 7 contract?

Most importantly.

The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.

If a bastard gets stronger, he'll just become an even bigger bastard.

If a lecher becomes stronger, he will only become an even bigger lecher.

When Chen Changqing was weak, he couldn't afford to offend any powerful figures.

Now that they're stronger, they're probably more likely to cause trouble.

Chen Changqing's combat strength has improved slightly, but his perception of Chen Changqing has long been solidified.

In his eyes, Chen Changqing was a bastard.

He didn't want to see Chen Changqing.

It would be better to leave Chen Changqing in Qingshi Town.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Chen Changyue began, "But..."

Zhao Jingming said, "Don't say 'but'. You think you can keep an eye on him if he stays in Dayang County?"

In the past, when he was in Dayang County, he didn't just run rampant,

It's better to let go and let him make his own way.

You see, in less than a year in Qingshi Town, things have improved a lot.

He learned the art of drawing talismans and spent his days drawing them in Qing Shi Town.

I've instructed Wang Chengwu to keep an eye on him and prevent him from going deep into the mountains. There's no danger, so you can rest assured.

"Alright then." Seeing Zhao Jingming's resolute attitude, Chen Changyue nodded.
