Starting from the two realms, cultivating immortality by taming beasts

Chapter 41 Contracted Spirit Beast

The Netherworld Spirit Turtle stared wide-eyed at Chen Beiwu with a strange look.

This Qi Refining cultivator not only has an excellent destiny, but also a discerning eye, as he was able to see the extraordinary nature of the Golden Scale.

Don't let its seemingly silly and gluttonous appearance fool you; this golden-scaled creature is a rare and exotic spirit beast in the miniature aquatic realm, possessing a faint trace of the Golden Horned Dragon's bloodline.

In terms of collectible value alone, the exotic golden scale can even be compared with some third-tier low-grade treasure beasts.

As for forming a contract with a beast, no water-attribute cultivator would be willing to do so.

Because the difficulty of breaking through the bloodline shackles and awakening the Golden Horned Dragon bloodline within the body to transform into a dragon is extremely high, it requires meeting three major conditions.

First, he possesses five hundred years of cultivation and has been promoted to a third-realm demon general.

Second, refine the essence and blood of the three realm dragons.

Thirdly, the fish leaps over the dragon gate, finding a lake where dragon veins converge to stir up floods and perform the dragon-walking ritual.

The first two conditions for transforming into a dragon may stump the second-generation cultivators of Golden Core families, but they are no challenge for the second-generation cultivators of Nascent Soul True Clan, let alone the prodigies from the Dongxuan Immortal Sect.

What truly made the second-generation cultivator give up the exotic golden scales was the third, almost impossible condition for transforming into a dragon.

It is important to know that the spiritual lake, which gathers the dragon veins, corresponds to the stars above and connects to the earth's veins below, and can be said to be a key hub for maintaining the circulation of spiritual energy in the area.

In this situation, the Golden Scales stirring up floods in the lake where the dragon veins converge to create a dragon-like phenomenon is equivalent to destroying the spiritual energy hub, which would cause the spiritual veins on which the immortal cultivation families depend for survival to dry up.

In this way, even if the Golden Horned Flood Dragon has overwhelming combat power, it cannot survive under the attack of a Nascent Soul True Monarch. No cultivation family would be willing to sacrifice their spiritual veins to transform into a Flood Dragon, unless they use someone else's spiritual veins.

However, during the Immortal Alliance era, all the spiritual veins and blessed lands on Tianyuan Star belonged to the Immortal Alliance. Local cultivation families only had the right to use the spiritual veins, and destroying the veins privately became a serious crime that the Thirteen Immortal Sects could not violate.

As a result, the once-famous Golden Horned Dragon is not only on the verge of extinction, but even the exotic Golden Scale has only become a collectible item, and virtually no second-generation cultivators would choose to form a contract with it.

"Could this kid be trying to form a contract with the Golden Scales?"

Seeing the hesitation in the eyes of the Netherworld Spirit Turtle, Chen Beiwu tentatively asked, "This one won't do either?"

After giving Chen Beiwu a deep look, the Mingshui Spirit Turtle stretched out two claws and chased him twice, making a gesture that Chen Beiwu recognized very well when asking for money.

Chen Beiwu was secretly delighted, but a troubled expression appeared on his face, to avoid the other party making an exorbitant demand.

"What do you want, spirit stones or spirit materials?"

The Netherworld Spirit Turtle let out a roar and pointed its claws at Chen Beiwu's waist.

Chen Beiwu followed its gaze and looked down, immediately spotting the well-preserved jade box at his waist.

"no problem."

Fearing the spirit tortoise might change its mind, Chen Beiwu immediately took down the jade box and presented it with both hands.

The Netherworld Spirit Turtle took the jade box, opened it a crack, and then, under the astonished gazes of everyone, took a deep breath, revealing an expression of blissful intoxication.

"Not bad, very pure!"

A satisfied smile appeared on the face of the Netherworld Spirit Turtle, leaving Chen Beiwu stunned.

What's going on? Is the Stone Grass really that attractive to the Darkwater Turtle?

Judging from the other person's smug expression, it seems like he's the one who lost out.

"Where's the goods?"

Chen Beiwu covered the jade box and turned his gaze to the miniature water world.

Upon hearing this, the Netherworld Spirit Turtle flicked its tail and scooped up the golden scales from the water realm, casually tossing them to Chen Beiwu, who quickly stretched out his hands to catch them.

"So heavy!"

Before he could even feel the astonishing weight in his hands, to avoid any unforeseen complications, Chen Beiwu immediately looked at Huang Jinlin's idiotic gaze.

"Would you be willing to become my companion beast?"

"Gurgle gurgle".

Golden Scales opened and closed its round mouth as if it were struggling to breathe, completely ignoring Chen Beiwu's question.

Of course, it's more likely that it doesn't understand human speech.

"Silence means agreement."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Beiwu immediately channeled his magic power and formed the Myriad Beasts Seal hand gesture.

"No, you're serious!" The sudden reversal startled Guan Ange slightly.

He thought Chen Beiwu was after the exotic spirit turtle, but he didn't expect him to be after the golden scales.

But why?

In theory, every golden scale can awaken its bloodline with the help of fellow cultivators and advance to become a third-tier low-grade treasure beast, the Golden Dragon Carp. However, the actual situation in real life is completely opposite to the theory.

It's no exaggeration to say that out of ten thousand cultivators who have a contract with a Golden Scale, only about one can actually cultivate it into a Golden Dragon Carp. The vast majority will cultivate it into a Crimson Gold Scale or a Black Gold Scale.

Because the Golden Scale is a water-elemental spirit beast, it needs to consume the essence of metal according to the theory of mutual generation of the five elements in order to activate the trace of dragon bloodline in its body.

The essence of metal is not ordinary metal-elemental spiritual energy, but a third-order metal essence evil formed after the metal-elemental spiritual vein and the earth evil converge, which is extremely rare.

On the official website of the Immortal Alliance, the price of a strand of Golden Essence Qi is about the same as that of the Breaking Calamity Golden Pill.

Golden Scale needs to consume three streams of Golden Essence Qi to repeatedly temper its body with Golden Essence Qi in order to successfully advance to Golden Dragon Carp.

Therefore, the Golden Dragon Carp is also known as the True Monarch Carp in the eyes of water-elemental cultivators.

As the name suggests, only a Nascent Soul True Monarch can cultivate a third-tier treasure carp.

Guan Ange came from a family of Golden Core cultivators, but he couldn't afford to raise a Golden Dragon Carp, let alone Chen Beiwu, who came from an ordinary background in his eyes.

"What on earth is this guy thinking?" Guan Ange narrowed his eyes, feeling increasingly uneasy.

On the other side, as Chen Beiwu changed the Myriad Beast Seal technique, the vast magical power and divine sense within his body poured out like a flood, forcibly surging into the Golden Scale's mind. In the latter's sea of ​​consciousness, a blood-red spiritual seal gradually formed, with the bottom of the seal as red as blood, as if countless runes were moving around.

If a knowledgeable cultivator from the Immortal Alliance were here, they would immediately recognize that this is the Three Treasures Joint Seal, which can lock in the essence, energy, and spirit of a spirit beast.

"Gurgle!"

Sensing the invasion of its sea of ​​consciousness, Golden Scales widened its fish eyes and instinctively unleashed its demonic power to resist. Its round belly emitted a dazzling golden light, so bright that the cultivator at the bottom of the lake could not open its eyes.

At the same time, within Golden Scale's sea of ​​consciousness, a giant dragon fish, ten zhang long, soared into the sky, its tail creating a hundred-zhang-long wave, attempting to destroy the Three Treasures Co-existing Seal that was coiled above the sea of ​​consciousness.

"What terrifying divine sense!" Chen Beiwu's face turned pale.

Even as a cub, it possessed a vast divine consciousness comparable to a second-realm demon. This exotic golden scale truly lived up to its reputation as a golden legend personally certified by the Nine Breaths Chaos. Fortunately, he had prepared in advance.

"Submit to me now!" Chen Beiwu moved his divine thought and mobilized the power of the Nine Breaths Chaos to suppress him.

He might be helpless against this exotic golden scale in the outside world, but in the battle within his sea of ​​consciousness, he is invincible because he can borrow a trace of the power of the Nine Breaths of Chaos.

"boom!"

With just a wisp of chaotic energy leaking out, the giant dragon fish struggling wildly within its sea of ​​consciousness stiffened, allowing the Three Treasures Jointly Observing Seal to land on its brow and lock onto its essence, energy, and spirit.
