Starting from the two realms, cultivating immortality by taming beasts

Chapter 34 Golden Core True Person

Xu Ziqing was taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "You mean the Azure Spirit Salamander won't work?"

Chen Beiwu coughed lightly twice.

What nonsense are you talking about, girl? They haven't even left the habitat of the Azure Spirit Salamanders yet.

"It's not that the Azure Spirit Salamanders are no good, but rather that the five spirit salamanders from before didn't meet my expectations," Chen Beiwu explained.

Xu Ziqing approached, bringing a touch of fragrance to her lips, and asked, "So, where shall we go on our date next?"

Chen Beiwu picked up the jade slip and walked towards the teleportation array: "Gengshen District 39, coordinates: Yuquan."

……

Jiaoyu Spring.

A swarm of emerald-green carp swam freely in the crystal-clear spring.

Every now and then, a few lively carp would gently sway their tail fins, creating ripples on the water's surface, bringing a hint of joy to Xu Ziqing's eyes.

However, Chen Beiwu, standing by the spring, frowned slightly, his eyes showing no sign of interest.

"This spirit carp is too thin; it's clearly congenitally weak."

"This spirit carp lacks spirituality; as a spirit beast, it doesn't even have the instinct to absorb and exhale the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

"This spirit carp has good potential, but its luck is frighteningly low; it's not even light blue."

After carefully sifting through the entire group of young spirit carp, Chen Beiwu couldn't help but exhale a breath of stale air.

"Isn't there a spirit beast that can be paired with it?" Xu Ziqing turned her head in surprise.

When a cultivator chooses a companion beast, it is essentially a process of weaving their own web of the Great Dao, requiring utmost caution.

Therefore, before each Qi Refining cultivator contracts a spirit beast, they will use the [Three Meridians and Six Chakras Detection Method] taught at the school to make a judgment and thus determine their compatible spirit beast.

"No," Chen Beiwu shook his head regretfully.

Most of the jade carp in the Jade Spring are highly intelligent, but none of them could surprise him.

"That's true. The spirit carp here are good, but they're not good enough for you," Xu Ziqing said matter-of-factly.

She wasn't a superficial girl; she was well aware of Chen Beiwu's excellence, otherwise she wouldn't have taken the initiative to pursue him.

In her mind, Chen Beiwu was outstanding in appearance, exceptionally talented, had excellent comprehension, and a gentle personality.

These conditions, taken individually, are nothing special, but when put together, they are an irresistible trump card for Xu Ziqing.

Otherwise, she and her best friend Xu Lingling wouldn't have both fallen for Chen Beiwu.

Of course, Chen Beiwu is not without his flaws. His family is relatively poor and he does not have enough resources to cultivate immortality and convert his talent into strength.

Even so, Chen Beiwu's qualifications would undoubtedly make him an excellent husband in Yunlong Prefecture, let alone in Yuankong County, one of the six counties under the prefecture.

It's no exaggeration to say that if it weren't for her and Xu Lingling standing in front of her, using their powerful family backgrounds to assert their dominance in advance, the rich and beautiful girls at Shouhe No. 2 Middle School would definitely be vying for Chen Beiwu.

"There's no such thing as being a good match or not." Chen Beiwu waved his hand. "These spirit carp are extremely sought after outside the Spirit Beast Pavilion. I doubt they'll even be able to afford a fish head, let alone a contract."

"Where shall we go next?" Xu Ziqing asked with a smile.

"Renzi District 1, coordinates of Sihai Lake." Chen Beiwu looked at the water level of Beikan.

The Netherworld Spirit Turtle is the exclusive spirit beast of the Dongxuan Immortal Sect, and it is renowned far and wide. Hopefully, it won't disappoint him.

……

Sihai Lake covers an area of ​​only a few hundred miles, but it gathers the essence of the four seas and draws water from the four seas to form a lake.

The lake is surrounded by strangely shaped rocks, and occasionally a magical turtle will emerge from the lake, slowly swim towards the rock formations, and then lie down to rest under a rock.

"Young friend, do you wish to form a contract with the Netherworld Spirit Turtle?" A gentle voice suddenly reached Chen Beiwu's ears.

He looked toward the source of the sound and saw a young cultivator with a tall, straight posture like a pine tree and a handsome face riding on a tortoise.

The man was dressed in a plain white Taoist robe, with silver patterns embroidered on the cuffs. These patterns meandered like flowing water, forming a shimmering, ethereal tortoise pattern on the lapel.

Beneath his feet, a colossal beast, as large as a mountain, exuded a terrifying aura that inspired awe.

"Its head is like a mountain, its eyes are like lightning, its scales are like gold, and its tail is imbued with mysterious yin energy. This is a third-tier superior-grade treasure beast, the Mysterious Water Nether Turtle!" Chen Beiwu's pupils constricted as he immediately realized what it meant.

If he wasn't mistaken, the cultivator who was riding on a tortoise was very likely a Golden Core True Person from the Dongxuan Immortal Sect!

Xu Ziqing's expression changed slightly, and she respectfully bowed, saying, "Greetings, Master!"

Chen Beiwu needed to guess the identity of the person who came, but she didn't.

The Xu family of the Fallen Dragon has a Golden Core cultivator in charge, and they attend a family gathering every hundred years.

The last clan gathering was five years ago, when Xu Ziqing was fortunate enough to meet the clan's Golden Core Ancestor and witness firsthand the power of the Golden Core.

Therefore, even though the other party deliberately suppressed most of the Golden Core's pressure, Xu Ziqing could still feel a suffocating sense of oppression, which was the fear of life's instinct.

"As expected, he is a Golden Core cultivator!"

Chen Beiwu dared not be careless and responded with the courtesy due to a junior: "Greetings, True Man. The Spirit Turtle of the Dark Water is renowned, and this junior naturally wishes to form a contract with it."

"Young friend, you have good taste. The Netherworld Spirit Turtle is different from other spirit beasts; it is rather lazy and generally does not meet with outsiders. You need to present a token to make contact with it."

At this point, Han Liangcai flashed and instantly appeared in front of Chen Beiwu, casually saying, "And this token can only be obtained by someone with a destined connection."

"Senior, what is meant by a destined person?" Chen Beiwu asked.

"Fate is fate, it cannot be spoken of, it cannot be spoken of!" Han Liangcai shook his head, his Taoist robe fluttering in the wind, making his figure appear even more ethereal, like a banished immortal descending to earth.

"This..." Chen Beiwu was slightly taken aback and looked at Xu Ziqing.

Xu Ziqing blinked in confusion, indicating that she didn't know either.

What do you mean by fate? She hates riddle-mongers the most.

Seeing that Chen Beiwu did not move, Han Liangcai frowned, stretched out his palm towards him, and then chased his thumb and middle finger back and forth twice. The otherworldly air between his brows disappeared without a trace at that moment.

"???" Chen Beiwu reacted instantly.

So that's what "a destined person" means.

However, he didn't have many spirit stones on him, only two. Even if he took them all out, he wouldn't be able to impress a Foundation Establishment cultivator, let alone a Golden Core cultivator from the Dongxuan Immortal Sect.

At the same time, a hint of confusion flashed in Xu Ziqing's eyes.

"What's going on?"

A Golden Core cultivator possesses a unified and primordial power, along with a trace of immortality. With a flick of their finger, they can easily suppress dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators, let alone a Golden Core cultivator from one of the Thirteen Immortal Sects.

Such beings don't need to ask for low-grade spirit stones at all.

As soon as a hint is given, the Foundation Establishment families in Yuankong County will vie to make offerings.

Something's not right. Something's very, very wrong.

Miss Xu Ziqing racked her brains but couldn't understand why a Golden Core cultivator would ask a Qi Refining cultivator for spirit stones, so she dared not speak rashly.

And so the atmosphere became awkward.

"Young friend, you don't even have a shred of fate?" Han Liangcai was somewhat surprised.

He had given such obvious hints, but the little guy still didn't get it at all.
