Starting from the two realms, cultivating immortality by taming beasts

Chapter 40 Taking a Different Approach

The coral reef fell silent.

"So it really didn't work." Chen Beiwu took a deep breath.

Having possessed such a supreme treasure as the Nine Breaths of Chaos, he thought himself a chosen one with an extraordinary destiny. Now it seems he overestimated himself.

Of course, it's also possible that the Nine Breaths Chaos Power is unparalleled, capable of concealing the host's destiny and fate, preventing the Netherworld Spirit Turtle from detecting anything unusual.

Regardless of which possibility is true, the current predicament remains unchanged.

That is, Chen Beiwu could not subdue the Mingshui Spirit Turtle with his destiny and fortune and thus recruit it into the same beast.

Sensing the focus and hesitation of the Netherworld Spirit Turtle, Chen Beiwu pondered for a moment.

He immediately stepped forward and said, "You're unsure about these spirit fish. Would you like me to help you analyze them?"

Upon hearing this, the spirit turtle finally raised its head, showing a willingness to hear more.

For turtles, food is paramount.

When it comes to food, Guigui is serious.

It wanted to see what unique insights this country monk could offer.

Chen Biwu pointed to the spirit fish in the miniature aquatic realm and analyzed them one by one.

"Jade Marrow Carp, a second-tier spiritual creature, has tender flesh and jade-like bones. If steamed with cold lotus leaves and Azure Rainbow Water, it can lock in the spiritual energy while making the fish even sweeter and more tender, melting in your mouth."

"Slurp."

Upon hearing this, the Netherworld Spirit Turtle began to salivate and couldn't help but lick its tongue.

"Crimson Blood Fish, a second-tier spiritual creature, with scales like fire and juicy skin. The best way to cook this treasure fish is as sashimi."

"Just a drop of Earth Marrow Milk is enough to stimulate its internal fire-shaped essence, causing it to ignite its internal essence and slowly self-immolate."

At this point, Chen Beiwu's tone was full of temptation: "The fish meat that is grilled in this way not only has a crispy outer skin and is plump and juicy inside, but also creates a unique taste of ice and fire."

Take a bite, and you can feel the intensely delicious explosion of fire-shaped and ice-shaped spiritual energy in your mouth, making it irresistible and leaving you wanting more.

The Netherworld Spirit Turtle quickly wiped the drool from the corner of its mouth and stared intently at Chen Beiwu.

"roar?"

Seeing a glimmer of hope, Chen Beiwu was secretly pleased: "That's right, if you want to eat it, I'll make it."

The Dark Water Spirit Turtle's face revealed an undisguised struggle.

It has a noble origin and is not just a simple foodie.

But the steamed carp with chrysoprase and the red blood fish sashimi sounded really good, making it eager to try them.

"Fine, I'll give this guy a chance." The Netherworld Spirit Turtle slowly closed its eyes, circulated its magic power, and its Spiritual Sense talent immediately activated.

Seeing the strange behavior of the Netherworld Spirit Turtle, the cultivators present were all dumbfounded.

Seriously? This works?

Brother Turtle, are you ignoring the prestige of the Demon King's bloodline?

How can someone be so easily swayed by a little bit of delicious food? That's just too outrageous!

"This guy is really something!" Guan Ange put down his phone and looked at Chen Beiwu with a serious expression.

Honestly, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he couldn't have imagined such a peculiar way of subduing someone, no matter how hard he tried.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

As the magical resonance ended, the Netherworld Spirit Turtle opened its eyes, ceased its connection, and took a step forward.

Having finally caught a glimmer of hope, Chen Beiwu's expression visibly tightened.

However, the Netherworld Spirit Turtle shook its head in the end.

Upon seeing this, all the cultivators present breathed a sigh of relief.

This is the normal outcome. Compared to the path of cultivating immortality, mere gluttony is insignificant.

"What a pity." Chen Beiwu sighed and turned to leave.

Enraged, the Netherworld Spirit Turtle blocked Chen Beiwu's path.

"Didn't you refuse?" Chen Beiwu asked, feigning surprise.

"roar."

The Netherworld Spirit Turtle swallowed hard and pointed its tail at the Crimson Blood Fish in the water realm.

Its meaning is clear: the opportunity has been given, and Chen Beiwu is not allowed to leave until he finishes making the Crimson Blood Fish Sashimi.

Chen Beiwu frowned, pretending to be deep in thought.

After a minute of this standoff, he gave in and said, "I can help you cook the red blood fish."

The spirit turtle of the deep water was overjoyed.

"But I need payment."

The Netherworld Spirit Turtle froze, looking at Chen Beiwu in disbelief.

It's a 300-month-old baby, how could the other party possibly take advantage of it?

"Is that not okay? Then forget it." Chen Beiwu pretended to be indifferent and turned to leave.

The Netherworld Spirit Turtle stood still, quietly watching Chen Beiwu leave.

step!

Two steps!

Three steps!

When Chen Beiwu took his fourth step, a sense of surprise welled up in his heart.

Why isn't this gluttonous, exotic tortoise talking? Is it because it's putting on too high an ego?

"roar."

Fortunately, the next second, the Netherworld Turtle poked its head out and bit his sleeve tightly.

Chen Beiwu felt relieved and turned around to look at the Netherworld Spirit Turtle.

The latter waved its tail and finally opened its mouth, indicating that Chen Beiwu could choose one of the miniature aquatic spirit fish as a reward, but it couldn't be too much.

"It's done!"

Chen Beiwu suppressed his inner elation and calmly looked at the colorful horned pomfret.

The water spirit turtle widened its eyes and immediately used its tail to block Chen Beiwu's eyes.

The Rainbow Pomfret is a third-tier treasure fish bestowed by the ancestor. It keeps it to itself and is reluctant to eat it, so how could it possibly give it away?

"Okay, okay, I'll change to another one."

Chen Beiwu feigned helplessness, his gaze falling on the little cutie struggling to flick its tail fin at the edge of the water.

It was an extremely special fish-like spirit beast, twice the size of an ordinary golden-scaled creature.

Its body is round and plump, with a belly bulging like a basketball, making it look rather endearing. Among the generally slender golden-scaled fish, it is quite an oddity.

When swimming, its round mouth is slightly upturned, like a nimble fat man struggling to swing its tail fin, as if it even has some difficulty breathing.

For the first time in his life, Chen Beiwu saw a pale golden pig-fish struggling to swim up and down in the water.

Because if it stops wagging its tail fin even slightly, its plump body will sink to the bottom of the water like a stone and never float again.

[Species]: Golden Scale

[Attribute]: Water

[Bloodline]: Second-tier, low-grade (Spirit Beast)

[Talent]: Golden Scales (The scales are golden and possess defense far exceeding that of other water-type fish spirit beasts of the same level)

[Can be upgraded]: Crimson Gold Scale (Second-tier superior metal spirit beast), Black Gold Scale (Second-tier superior metal spirit beast), Golden Dragon Carp (Third-tier inferior water-attribute treasure beast)

[Evaluation]: Golden Scales usually inhabit deep lakes rich in spiritual energy, feeding on spiritual algae and small spiritual shrimp.

It gets its name from its long, slender body, its scales that shimmer like gold, and its superior defense, which allows it to ignore most first-tier magical arts.

As information about Golden Scales flooded his mind, Chen Beiwu's heart began to race slightly.

Although the Golden Scale is a second-tier water-attribute spirit beast, it is not considered a rare item, and few cultivators would choose it as a companion beast.

Because the Golden Scale talent is singular, most of the points are allocated to scale defense rather than to the water-type spiritual energy affinity that water-attribute spiritual root cultivators value most, and advancement is difficult.

However, in the face of absolute luck, everything else is insignificant.

In Chen Beiwu's eyes, this pig-shaped fish that looks like it has no brains is actually a golden legend of the Nine Breaths Chaos Judgment!
