Starting from the two realms, cultivating immortality by taming beasts

Chapter 23 The Use of Supernatural Powers

Let Tie Dan learn the burning flame technique on his own. Chen Beiwu sat cross-legged on the futon in the cultivation room, his hands forming the starting posture of the Nine Breaths Qi Absorption Divine Power, and began to accumulate Qi every day.

First breath: Knowing the celestial order.

As Chen Beiwu mobilized the magical power in his dantian, with each breath, wisps of firefly-like light suddenly appeared in his spiritual perception.

That was a power of destiny that even a Golden Core cultivator couldn't perceive, but he could clearly sense the power of destiny permeating Tianyuan Star by using his supernatural seal techniques.

Second breath: Bind yourself.

As Chen Beiwu changed the hand seals, his mind immediately became crystal clear with each breath.

The reason why the power of destiny contained within Tianyuan Star is harmless is because no one can see it.

Conversely, if a powerful cultivator attempts to peek into the secrets and fortunes of heaven, they will naturally be devoured by heaven and earth the moment they see them.

By relying on the Binding Body Seal to mobilize the power of the Nine Breaths of Chaos, Chen Beiwu was able to remain unharmed despite the erosion of fortune.

The third, fourth, and fifth breaths are all for guiding the flow of Qi.

Looking at the surrounding second-tier blue aura and sparse orange aura (possibly third-tier), Chen Beiwu was very envious.

Unfortunately, his current strength is too weak, and he can only slowly draw the white and green fortunes toward himself.

Sixth breath: Stealing the mandate of heaven.

As Chen Beiwu completed his sixth inhalation and exhalation, the Nine Breaths Chaos residing in his heart remained motionless, seemingly unconcerned about the gathering white and green fortune.

"This treasure is good, but its only drawback is that it's picky about food and hard to control. If only it could actively devour the luck like it did on the day of the Great Sun Anomaly!" Chen Beiwu thought with a hint of helplessness.

Seventh breath: Feeding the heavens.

With each breath, Chen Beiwu stuffed all the gathered fortune into the Nine Breaths Chaos.

Soon, as strands of fortune continuously flowed into the Nine Breaths Chaos, the Chaos Land also began to nurture a faint blue fortune.

Eighth breath: Ascension to Heaven.

Chen Beiwu prefers to call it "fleecing the chaos of the Nine Breaths".

As the energy within the chaotic world surged, that wisp of drifting blue energy suddenly expanded and then split into two wisps of slightly darker blue energy.

Ten threads make one strand, ten threads make one line.

At the current rate of accumulating fortune, Chen Beiwu will be able to accumulate a blue fortune in fifty days.

Clearly, after breaking through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, his efficiency in accumulating Qi Luck has increased significantly compared to before.

Ninth breath: A serendipitous encounter.

Chen Beiwu needs to draw upon the power of the Nine Breaths of Chaos to condense a Golden Bell of Fortune, then use the Golden Bell to transform his accumulated fortune into a spirit fish, and finally release the spirit fish back into the River of Fortune to obtain a fortuitous encounter in the future.

Because the chance encounters that the two strands of blue fortune could trigger were limited, Chen Beiwu did not use his divine power to exhale the ninth breath, but instead let it roam freely in the chaotic land to enhance his own fortune.

"call."

Exhaling a breath of stale air, Chen Beiwu slowly opened his eyes.

"Woof!"

Tie Dan let out a low growl, somewhat afraid to look Chen Beiwu in the eye.

During the eight breaths that Chen Beiwu used his supernatural powers, it seemed as if it saw a god descending to earth.

During this period, it dared not even move, let alone learn the Blazing Incantation.

"What's wrong? Don't you recognize me?"

Tie Dan relaxed a little after Chen Beiwu smiled.

"It's time to eat." He got up, pushed open the door to the training room, and went downstairs. The tempting aroma of food immediately wafted over.

After walking a few steps, Chen Beiwu discovered that the spirit beast meat that had disappeared in the ventilation area had returned, but its size had obviously shrunk considerably.

"It seems the family has weathered the storm." He felt a sense of relief.

Upon seeing Chen Beiwu appear, Huang Xiaoling brought out a dish from the kitchen: "Today I made your favorite scrambled eggs with tomatoes."

"That must taste delicious!" Chen Beiwu's eyes lit up.

After finishing lunch, Chen Beiwu called to his mother and took out a jade bottle from his pocket, placing it on the table.

"What is this?" Huang Xiaoling was taken aback.

"Frost-reducing pill".

To Chen Beiwu's surprise, his mother did not show the expected joy on her face; instead, her brows furrowed even more.

"Did you also fish this Frost-Reducing Pill from the Pearl River?" she asked solemnly.

"Of course not, how could there be frost-reducing pills in the Pearl River?" Chen Beiwu said casually. "They were given to me by a classmate."

A look of confusion crossed Huang Xiaoling's eyes, and her mind nearly went blank: "A classmate... gave it to me?"

As far as she knew, the Frost-Reducing Pill had to be taken once a day for three consecutive days to completely eliminate the cold toxins from the user.

One Frost-Reducing Pill costs 800 low-grade spirit stones on the Immortal Alliance's official website, while three Frost-Reducing Pills cost 2,400 low-grade spirit stones.

Which classmate is so generous as to give away a gift worth over two thousand spirit stones?

It would be more reasonable to say that your own child was fished out of the Pearl River!

Huang Xiaoling took a deep breath: "Is it a male classmate or a female classmate?"

"Female classmate." Chen Beiwu didn't intend to hide it, nor could he.

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaoling couldn't help but glance at the Frost-Reducing Pill, her thoughts wandering.

What this female classmate brought was not just a bottle of pills, but also spirit stones and a favor that the Chen family could not repay.

The girl who delivered the pill is really clever—she can use it in two ways!

"Which female classmate?" Huang Xiaoling pressed.

Chen Beiwu hesitated for a moment, then answered truthfully, "Xu Lingling."

"No wonder!" Huang Xiaoling felt relieved.

She had met Xu Lingling once before, and the impression she had was very deep.

Judging from her appearance, she was a pure, shy, and easy-going girl.

Judging from his family background, the other party comes from one of the three major branches of the Xu family of the Fallen Dragon. His father, Xu Tianguang, is the magistrate of Yuankong County and the head of the Xu family branch.

The Xu family of Yunlong is renowned for its alchemy and is a prestigious family of Golden Core cultivators within Yunlong Prefecture, controlling nearly 30% of the pill market share in the six counties of the prefecture.

Two thousand spirit stones is a huge sum of spirit stones that an ordinary cultivator could not earn even after working for decades, but in the eyes of a noble family like Xu Lingling, it might be nothing, not even worth a meal.

Looking at Chen Beiwu's unparalleled handsome appearance, Huang Xiaoling calmly said, "Return the pills. We are a small family and cannot afford to offend a Golden Core clan."

"I tried to return it, but they wouldn't accept it," Chen Beiwu said helplessly.

A single pill from a noble family can sustain a lifetime of hard work.

He knew his mother didn't want him to owe favors, lest he be unable to repay them later and have to work himself to the bone to pay them back.

"Listen to me, return it." Huang Xiaoling glanced at him, her tone resolute.

"Use the pills as needed. It's only a thousand spirit stones; I can afford it," Chen Beiwu said solemnly.

Huang Xiaoling's voice turned stern: "That's all? What are you going to use to repay me!"

"I'm confident I can break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining in my second year of high school. Is that enough?" Chen Beiwu opened his palm, and a lifelike miniature clone quietly appeared.

"Not enough," Mom said, her expression unchanged.

"I'm confident I can break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining before the college entrance examination and get into the Thirteen Immortal Sects. Is that enough?" Chen Beiwu said in a deep voice.
