Starting from the two realms, cultivating immortality by taming beasts

Chapter 68 Qi Refining Level 8

"Li Yucheng, Sales Director of the Dendrobium Chamber of Commerce"

After introducing himself, Li Yucheng's ring flashed with a faint light, and an exquisite gift box appeared in his hand.

"The Zihu Chamber of Commerce had no intention of offending Mr. Chen. Everything that happened before was done on the spur of the subordinates."

To curb this unhealthy trend, the Chamber of Commerce leadership has severely punished Chen Ziping, the sales manager, and hopes Mr. Chen can understand.

"This is the Chamber of Commerce's compensation to Mr. Chen." With that, Li Yucheng opened the box, revealing a dark purple elixir inside, as if cast from crystal.

It has nine layers of overlapping amethyst petals, each petal as thin as a cicada's wing, but inside there is a liquid-like flowing purplish-red flame, emitting a soft and ethereal charm.

Chen Beiwu narrowed his eyes and immediately recognized what the medicinal herb in the box was.

Purple Fire Dendrobium, a second-grade superior spiritual herb, is a rare item that the Purple Dendrobium Merchant Guild sells in limited quantities.

Its petals contain a purple yang essence fire, which can be directly consumed by foundation-building cultivators with fire spirit roots to increase their maximum mana and enhance their cultivation.

For a second-tier alchemist, consuming the Purple Fire Elixir can refine the Purple Yang Essence Fire within the Purple Fire Elixir into their natal spirit fire, greatly enhancing the power of the spirit fire. However, they must first consume Cold Jade Marrow to neutralize the fire poison.

Some exceptionally gifted fire-attribute spirit beasts, such as adult Crimson Flame Foxes, can gain twenty years of cultivation directly by consuming Purple Flame Orchid, greatly increasing their strength.

On the official website of the Immortal Alliance, Purple Fire Dendrobium is a special spiritual medicine that is available but priceless. Its price fluctuates greatly and is difficult to fix, but it is still far above Blood-Faced Vine.

"I don't need an apology," Chen Beiwu refused decisively. "I just want to know what punishment the Chamber of Commerce gives to those who commit offenses."

He is not stupid.

Judging from the reaction of the Zihu Chamber of Commerce, he knew without even using his brain that Xu Lingling had used her energy.

It's no exaggeration to say that Li Yucheng's respect wasn't for a mere Qi Refining cultivator like himself, but for the Golden Core True Person standing behind Xu Lingling. He even wanted to take this opportunity to establish a connection with the Golden Core True Person.

If he were to accept the apology from the Zihu Chamber of Commerce under these circumstances, the favor he already owed Xu Lingling would be even harder to repay.

Upon noticing Chen Beiwu's reaction, Li Yucheng felt relieved.

He only wanted to quell the trouble caused by his subordinates and didn't want any further complications. It was the best outcome that Chen Beiwu didn't continue to make an issue of it.

Compared to the words of a Golden Core cultivator, a single Purple Fire Dendrobium is nothing.

"It was my fault for not managing my subordinates properly. Please accept this apology, Mr. Chen."

Li Yucheng bowed slightly: "As for Chen Ziping, he has been executed by me for abusing his power for personal gain and attacking a fake cultivator without cause."

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu's pupils contracted, and a chill ran down his spine.

The power of the Golden Elixir is terrifying; a single word can decide the life or death of the weak!

In other words, if the person he offended had not been Chen Ziping, the head of the Zihu Chamber of Commerce, but a second-generation cultivator like Xu Lingling, he would probably have been lying dead in the street the next day.

"In that case, let's let this matter pass." Chen Beiwu took a deep breath and accepted the gift box.

Back in the second-floor cultivation room, Chen Beiwu stared at the Purple Fire Orchid in deep thought.

He immediately picked up his phone and called Xu Lingling.

"Buzz!"

Unlike yesterday, the call did not go through this time.

Chen Beiwu exhaled a breath of stale air, knowing that Xu Lingling had paid a price for using the power of her family's elders, which was why he couldn't contact her now.

"I'm owing more and more favors!" Chen Beiwu said with a wry smile.

There are two reasons why he has not accepted the advances of the two women.

Firstly, his resolve to pursue the Dao was firm, and he did not want to be hindered by personal feelings before reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

Secondly, the difference in their social standing is too great. Both Xu Lingling and Xu Ziqing are second-generation cultivators whom he cannot afford to offend or avoid.

Only cultivators with limited vision, like Liu Yan, would think that living off a woman is really appealing, unaware that sometimes living off a woman can be deadly.

A fight between two women is bound to result in one injury. If he makes a choice, the friendship between the two women will most likely be severed, and he may also be targeted by the Golden Core True Man because of his romantic entanglements.

"Forget it, thinking about it so much is useless. Knowing yourself is the most important thing." Chen Beiwu shook his head and focused his mind on cultivating the Heavenly Book.

When you are weak, any favors you make are empty promises and difficult to repay.

Once he advances to the Foundation Establishment stage and achieves the Golden Core stage, he can decide the rise and fall of the Chamber of Commerce with a single word, making Foundation Establishment cultivators bow down.

He will definitely be able to repay the favor at that time.

……

Nine days later.

In the southern wilderness, there is a nameless, desolate mountain and a simple cave dwelling.

Chen Beiwu practiced the Heavenly Book as usual, transforming the magical power within his body.

"Buzz!"

When the last of the myriad beasts' magical power transformed into the Hongmu magical power, Chen Beiwu suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration.

The Green Wood Spirit Seed and the Clear Water Spirit Seed nurtured within the Dantian also emitted a strong radiance.

Sensing the arrival of a breakthrough opportunity, Chen Beiwu had a sudden inspiration. He took out a jade bottle from his storage bag and retrieved the Spirit Nourishing Pill that he had never used before.

Carefully remove the pill and swallow it.

boom!

The moment the Spirit Nourishing Pill entered his mouth, it transformed into a surge of powerful spiritual energy that erupted in his dantian and meridians. In an instant, Chen Beiwu's entire body swelled up like a balloon.

He endured the pain, calmed his mind, and circulated the Myriad Laws Returning to the Flow of the Jianmu Heavenly Book. The spiritual power that was frantically gushing out of his meridians was gradually transformed into the power of the Hongmu, like a mud ox entering the sea.

As time passed, a powerful aura suddenly erupted, and Tie Dan and Jin Dan, who were responsible for guarding the area, also turned their gazes towards it.

"It's done!" Chen Beiwu opened his eyes, clenched his fists, and couldn't hide his excitement.

After breaking through to the eighth level of Qi Refining, the capacity of his mana in his dantian not only increased by 50%, but the range of his divine sense also reached ten zhang.

It should be noted that the range of a typical Qi Refining Level 9 cultivator's divine sense is only about three zhang (approximately 10 meters), so the difference between him and the cultivator is more than three times; it would not be an exaggeration to say that there is a vast chasm between them.

After carefully experiencing the changes after breaking through his realm, Chen Beiwu's mind stirred. He picked up a brush, arranged the talisman paper, and began to draw talismans that carried the traces of heaven and earth under the questioning gazes of his two pets.

Soon, Chen Beiwu stopped writing, and a wisp of spiritual energy appeared on the talisman on the stone table before quickly disappearing.

First-tier low-grade talisman [Water Arrow Talisman], complete!

"As expected, the stronger a cultivator's spiritual sense, the higher the success rate of drawing low-level talismans." Chen Beiwu's eyes revealed a smile.

To determine his skill level in talisman making, he didn't stop and continued to draw another [Earth Shield Talisman] and a [Gentle Breeze Talisman].

"Phew!" Chen Beiwu exhaled a breath of stale air, his face showing confidence.

According to the description in the Complete Guide to Basic Talisman Techniques of the Immortal Alliance, a Qi Refining cultivator can draw three different first-tier low-grade talismans with different attributes. If the success rate is maintained at more than 50%, he can participate in the Talisman Master Association's assessment and become a first-tier low-grade talisman master certified by the Immortal Alliance.

He has now drawn a perfect first-grade low-level talisman without a single failure, and his success rate is currently 100%.

This means that he is now a genuine Tier 1 low-grade talisman master.
