Starting from the two realms, cultivating immortality by taming beasts

Chapter 56 Azure Cloud Immortal Sect

"Fellow Daoist Guan, I have a wild jade scale fish here, weighing eleven pounds and four ounces. I intend to sell it to someone who is destined to find it. I wonder if you are interested?"

Chen Beiwu sent the message, and a video call popped up on his phone instantly, from Guan Ange.

As soon as the call connected, he couldn't wait to say, "Wild jade scale fish? Are you sure! Where did you get such a good specimen?"

Wild jade scale fish and farmed jade scale fish are completely different concepts.

The former is extremely valuable and rare, with a pound of it fetching hundreds of low-grade spirit stones.

The latter is of average value, costing only about ten low-grade spirit stones per kilogram, and is available for sale on the official website of the Immortal Alliance.

"I caught it in Jingyuan West Lake," Chen Beiwu said calmly. "If you don't believe me, you can inspect it on the spot before making the transaction."

"Holy crap!" Upon hearing this, Guan Ange couldn't help but swear. "Dude, you're awesome! You actually managed to catch a jade scale fish in Jingyuan West Lake."

Jingyuan West Lake is a tributary lake of the Jingyuan River, and it is home to a large number of spirit fish. Not to mention low-level exotic fish like the Jade Scale Fish, even third-level treasure fish can be found there. This is common knowledge within the Fallen Dragon Mansion.

Knowing this is one thing, but actually catching a spirit fish and becoming rich overnight is quite another.

The Immortal Alliance's Worldly Palace set up an array at Jingyuan West Lake, prohibiting cultivators from using external forces such as magic power and magical artifacts. Cultivators can only fish by relying on their personal fishing skills.

Guan Ange once tried fishing in the Jingyuan River, but he caught nothing and was ridiculed by his brothers in the clan as a "blank shot".

There are quite a few air force cultivators in the Fallen Dragon Palace who are in the same situation as him.

It is no exaggeration to say that cultivators who can catch exotic fish in Jingyuan West Lake are all top-notch fishing experts and have extremely good luck.

"Where are you now? I'm coming over right now," Guan Ange said excitedly.

The chance to turn things around has arrived.

If he operates well enough and the transaction is secure enough, he can tell his people that he caught the Jade Scale Fish himself.

"Jingyuan West Lake".

The video call ended immediately after Chen Beiwu finished speaking.

"Xianweixuan is not far from Jingyuan West Lake. We will conduct our transaction in private room number one."

Chen Beiwu smiled when he saw the message from Guan Ange.

Sure enough, good things sell themselves, and he was satisfied with the spirit stones he needed to buy the cultivation technique.

……

Xianweixuan, Room No. 1.

Chen Beiwu sat in a chair, sipping tea.

"Bang!" The door to the private room suddenly opened.

Guan Ange walked in, eagerly asking, "Where's the Jade Scale Fish? Bring it out so I can see it!"

Chen Beiwu did not refuse and directly took out the Jade Scale Fish from the spirit beast bag.

"Not bad!" Guan Ange felt relieved the moment he saw the jade-scaled fish.

Chen Beiwu did not lie to him.

Wild jade scale fish have tightly packed scales and rough skin, while farmed jade scale fish have relatively loose scales and smoother skin.

Secondly, the heads of wild jade scale fish are more pointed and slender, more like the tip of a sword, while the heads of farmed jade scale fish are rounder and look more plump.

"Eighteen hundred spirit coins, will you sell?" Guan Ange asked succinctly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu frowned slightly and countered, "This jade-scaled fish is of extremely high quality. How about two thousand five hundred spirit coins?"

"It's too high." Guan Ange shook his head. "Wild jade scale fish are usually used to entertain distinguished guests. Yours weighs eleven pounds. It's valuable in some ways, but not in others."

He paused slightly at this point: "How about two thousand spirit coins? That's definitely a high price."

"Two thousand two hundred spirit coins," Chen Beiwu said solemnly.

A hint of hesitation flashed in Guan Ange's eyes.

He wasn't trying to fool Chen Beiwu. Although wild jade scale fish were rare and expensive, two hundred spirit coins per catty was still a bit pricey.

If he hadn't intended to use it to show off and curry favor with the ancestor who loved sashimi and delicacies, he would never have asked for such a high price of two thousand spirit coins.

"Deal, but I have one condition." He gritted his teeth.

"What are your requirements?" Chen Beiwu asked.

"This transaction needs to be kept confidential," Guan Ange said.

"Yes, that's fine." Chen Beiwu nodded, having no objection whatsoever.

The following transactions went smoothly. After deducting the tax of 100 spirit coins, Chen Beiwu's mobile phone balance increased by 2,100.

"If you ever catch this kind of delicacy in the future, feel free to message me."

After saying that, Guan Ange watched Chen Beiwu take his leave and did not continue to recruit him.

"Young Master, should we retrieve the spiritual essence?" A voice suddenly rang out from the private room.

"Forget it." Guan Ange hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "This kid has a lot of romantic luck. He has close relationships with the Xu family's illegitimate daughter and Master Xu's daughter. There's no need to cause any more trouble."

"clear."

"Prepare my fishing rod and bait, that's the important thing." Guan Ange's face showed an undisguised smile.

Nothing could make him happier than showing off his divine abilities in front of others.

Back home, Chen Beiwu immediately opened the Immortal Alliance website to settle his account.

Purchase successful

Seeing that the order was under review, Chen Beiwu was overjoyed and turned over to lie down on the futon.

"Woof." Tie Dan approached, looking aggrieved.

It hasn't gone hiking or absorbing spiritual energy for a week.

"There's no way around it, you're too conspicuous if I bring you along. Just bear with it a little longer." Chen Beiwu patted Tie Dan's head and took out Huangwei Dendrobium from his storage bag to feed it.

With food in hand, the grievance in Tie Dan's eyes vanished instantly.

On the other side, in Youying Road, in Shengyuan Prefecture.

Bixiao Immortal Sect.

The sea is vast, with surging blue waves. A tree with a trunk over ten thousand miles in diameter and covered with cyan-gold scale-like Dao marks connects heaven and earth, forming its own world.

Deep within the Azure Cloud Blessed Land, a Golden Core cultivator's eyes flickered.

Name: Chen Beiwu

[Spiritual Root]: 79+ (Water, Wood, Earth Spiritual Roots)

Age: 16

[Cultivation Level]: Qi Refining Level 7

Upon seeing the applicant's information, he shook his head. "He dares to cultivate the Heavenly Book without even having a Heavenly Spiritual Root. He's just another arrogant brat who doesn't know his own limitations."

As the core cultivation technique of the Bixiao Immortal Sect, the Myriad Laws Return to Flow Jianmu Heavenly Book is one of the very few fundamental cultivation techniques at the Heavenly Rank that can directly lead to the Refinement of Emptiness.

However, the Heavenly Book is too profound and obscure. Even after being simplified and modified by countless predecessors and giants of the Immortal Sect, it is still difficult to get started.

It is precisely because it is too difficult to get started and too difficult to cultivate that the "All Laws Return to Flow: The Heavenly Book of Jianmu - Qi Refining Chapter" is sold for two thousand spirit coins on the official website of the Immortal Alliance, given away for free like cabbage, in order to select the immortal seedlings who are compatible with the Heavenly Book from among the millions of cultivators in the Immortal Alliance.

It is no exaggeration to say that every cultivator who purchases the Myriad Laws Return to the Flow of the Heavenly Tree will be placed on the Bixiao Immortal Sect's watch list.

Unfortunately, in all the years he had been reviewing the sect's records, he had never seen many Qi Refining cultivators who could use the Myriad Laws Returning to Flow Jianmu Heavenly Book to forge a superior Dao Foundation, let alone achieve Foundation Establishment without any flaws.

If such a genius were to appear, the Immortal Sect might immediately extend an olive branch and bestow upon him the position of Quasi-True Disciple.

"Hey, there are a few promising talents this time."

Upon seeing the information of several prodigies pop up on the screen, the Golden Core cultivator approved them without hesitation, and also approved Chen Beiwu's application.

After all, "cast a wide net, catch many fish, and choose the best ones" is the cultivation philosophy of the Bixiao Immortal Sect.

He didn't care whether the fish would die as a result.
