Starting from the two realms, cultivating immortality by taming beasts

Chapter 43 Studying the Three Channels Together

"Indeed, it's a Profound-grade Yuan Vein."

Seeing the radiant innate water essence within the golden egg's primordial veins, Chen Beiwu was overjoyed.

The Tongcan Beast Essence Veins are divided into five grades, ordered from bottom to top as Inferior, Miscellaneous, Orthodox, Profound, and Heavenly.

Inferior Yuan Veins are more common among zero-rank mortal beasts because they have lost the essence of the five elements.

This kind of primordial vein can neither enhance the purity of a cultivator's spiritual root nor improve the efficiency of refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Miscellaneous Yuanmai is slightly better than inferior Yuanmai, but the innate Five Elements essence is mixed and transformed into acquired Five Elements Yuanmai, but it is still barely usable.

It usually appears on first-tier exotic beasts and cannot provide a boost to the purity of a cultivator's spiritual root, but it can increase a cultivator's efficiency in refining spiritual energy by 10% to 20%.

A genuine Yuanmai contains a complete essence of the five innate elements, which generally only exists within second-tier spirit beasts. It can provide contracted cultivators with a slight boost to the purity of their spiritual roots (acquired), increasing their efficiency in refining spiritual energy by 40% to 50%.

Furthermore, the profound-grade Yuan Meridian within the golden egg is even more extraordinary.

As the saying goes, the essence of the five elements is immortal, and the primordial energy is the mystery.

The Profound Grade Yuan Vein contains a trace of the Dao of Heaven and Earth, and it usually only appears on third-tier treasure beasts.

This level of Yuanmai can not only provide a three-point bonus to the purity of the spiritual root (innate) for contracted cultivators, but also double the efficiency of cultivators in refining spiritual energy.

What does this mean?

Simply put, the Yuan Meridian within a Tongcan Beast is equivalent to an amplifier for the purity of its spiritual root.

The purity of the spiritual roots provided by genuine Yuanmai cannot break through the spiritual root constraints of contracted cultivators, such as upgrading from true spiritual roots to earth spiritual roots.

However, because the Xuanpin Yuanmai contains a trace of the Dao of Heaven and Earth, it can transform the acquired into the innate, thus breaking the spiritual root shackles of contracted cultivators.

In other words, Chen Beiwu's current water spirit root purity is not 79 (earth spirit root), but 82 (with the bonus of the Xuan-grade Yuan Vein), making his aptitude equivalent to that of a heaven spirit root.

"If a Profound-grade Yuan Vein is this terrifying, I wonder just how outrageous the legendary Heavenly-grade Yuan Vein truly is!"

Chen Beiwu suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, and with a thought, looked at the second meridian of the golden egg: the subordinate meridian.

The Five Elements Meridian is a manifestation of the bloodline aptitude of the same beast, equivalent to the Five Elements Spiritual Root of a human cultivator, but it is difficult to detect.

Therefore, the Immortal Alliance roughly divides monsters into four categories based on their bloodline level: exotic beasts, spirit beasts, treasure beasts, and mystical beasts, rather than based on individual aptitude.

However, after a cultivator establishes a covenant, they can determine the strength of the five elements of the covenant beast based on the purity of their own spiritual root.

"Gold 89, Wood 82, Water 93, Fire 18, Earth 79."

Chen Beiwu was shocked when he saw the five elements of the golden egg by using the Tongcan seal.

According to the standards of the Immortal Alliance, the Golden Egg's attribute veins show an aptitude equivalent to a Heavenly Spiritual Root among human cultivators, and it is a Heavenly Spiritual Root of Metal, Wood, and Water, far surpassing his own.

Is this the true value of the Golden Legend?

"call!"

Chen Beiwu exhaled a breath of stale air, suppressing the turmoil in his heart.

After calming down for a moment, he activated his divine sense to look at the third meridian of the golden egg: the Dharma Meridian.

Heaven and earth steal from all things, and all things steal from living beings.

Unlike cultivators, demonic beasts do not cultivate the Golden Core or study the Daoist scriptures. Instead, they use their bloodline as a guide to steal the secrets of heaven, condense Dao traces within their bodies, and eventually form a Dharma lineage.

The magical veins within the bodies of demonic beasts contain not only the cultivation of their many years of practice, but also the innate magical abilities they possess by stealing the essence of heaven and earth to survive.

However, cultivation is difficult, and the length of time a demon beast cultivates does not necessarily indicate the extent of its cultivation.

For example, some terrifying fourth-tier mystical beasts can accumulate a thousand years of cultivation over several hundred years and successfully advance to the fourth realm of demon king.

Some inferior first-tier beasts, even after a thousand years of arduous cultivation, can only accumulate forty-nine years of cultivation, and cannot even break through to the second realm of minor demons.

"The Golden Egg only has ten years of cultivation." Chen Beiwu was somewhat surprised.

The way to observe demons lies in their origin, their attributes, their traces, and their veins.

For every year a demon beast accumulates cultivation, the number of basic Dao traces within its Dharma lineage increases by one.

To facilitate the measurement of cultivation levels, contracted cultivators refer to a single Dao trace within the Tongcan Beast Dharma Lineage as a year's worth of Dao cultivation.

The Golden Egg's lineage contains only ten basic Dao traces, indicating that it has cultivated for ten years, equivalent to a first-level spirit. It is a particularly weak spirit among spirits, and its level is roughly the same as the Iron Egg.

However, the divine sense that the golden egg unleashed when it formed a contract was comparable to that of a second-realm minor demon, indicating that it possessed extraordinary talent and that the innate spells contained within its magical lineage were absolutely remarkable.

Thinking of this, Chen Beiwu probed the depths of the magic vein with his divine sense, sensing its deeply hidden innate magic.

[Talent]: Golden Scales

[Rank]: Second-tier Supreme Spiritual Technique

[Effect]: Its scales are like gold, and also like flowing water. It possesses both the flexibility of water and the strength of gold. It can amplify the physical body and divine sense according to the strength of one's cultivation, ignore first-tier supernatural arts, and be immune to some damage from second-tier spiritual arts.

Note: Golden Scales are based on their scales. The stronger the defense of their scales, the greater the power of their innate spiritual technique, [Sea Absorption].

"It's actually a second-tier top-grade spiritual technique!" Chen Beiwu's spirits lifted.

Second-tier spiritual arts are an exclusive mark of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

If a Qi Refining cultivator's cultivation level is insufficient, forcibly releasing a second-tier spiritual technique will only backfire.

At best, it will completely deplete one's spiritual energy; at worst, it will cause a backlash from the spell, resulting in death.

Even if we assume that a Qi Refining cultivator is exceptionally talented and manages to release a second-tier spiritual technique by sheer luck...

Once a spell is fully formed, it's like a fire without fuel; it's difficult to unleash its full power, and it's not even as powerful as casting some first-tier top-grade spiritual spells.

However, the innate magical talents awakened by demonic beasts are different.

Even with weak cultivation, demonic beasts can unleash their innate spells as if they were extensions of their own arms, without suffering backlash from the spells; at most, the power of the spells will be greatly reduced.

This is because it is an instinct hidden in their bloodline, and it is also proof that the bloodline of demon beasts is uniquely advantageous on Tianyuan Star.

With the second-tier top-grade spiritual technique [Golden Scales] protecting him, even though the Golden Egg's cultivation level is low and he has only been around for ten years, he can still be considered invincible in terms of defense among the first-level spirits.

Thinking of this, Chen Beiwu continued to probe the depths of the Dharma vein with his divine sense.

His intuition told him that Golden Egg's talent went far beyond this.

[Talent]: Nahai

[Rank]: Second-tier Supreme Spiritual Technique

[Effect]: It can absorb all things to nourish itself. Golden Scale can devour all things such as demonic beasts, spells, magical artifacts, talismans, and spiritual energy to enhance its own innate Golden Scale talent.

Sensing the effect of the Sea of ​​Spirits Technique, Chen Beiwu was slightly taken aback.

Golden Scales can enhance the power of the Sea Absorber, and the enhanced power of the Sea Absorber can in turn enhance the defensive strength of Golden Scales.

It's no exaggeration to say that combining these two top-tier spiritual techniques is like stepping on your own foot with your left; they can continuously complement each other and grow stronger together.

"Amazing, so this is the power that a Golden Legend should have."

Chen Beiwu withdrew his divine sense, opened his eyes, and looked at Golden Scale as if he were looking at a monster.

He made the right bet!

With a beast of this caliber, his future will be even brighter.

"Gurgle."

Golden Egg blinked in confusion.

It didn't know what the contracted monk was excited about; it only knew that it was hungry again.
