Starting from the two realms, cultivating immortality by taming beasts

Chapter 79 The Moon Selection Envoy

What does twenty years of cultivation mean?

The highest cultivation level for a spirit is forty-nine years; with another step, it can advance to the second realm of lesser demons.

According to the Immortal Alliance's standards, a spirit with twenty years of cultivation is equivalent to a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

If combined with the two second-tier supreme spiritual techniques, Na Hai and Liu Jin Lin, the Golden Egg's power can almost rival that of a peak Qi Refining cultivator.

But what Chen Beiwu cared about more than these was the increase in cultivation speed after the successful construction of the Tongcan Mana Circulation System.

Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to close his eyes and activate the Myriad Laws Return to Flow Jianmu Heavenly Book.

After a long while, Chen Beiwu opened his eyes, his eyes filled with excitement.

The cultivation speed of the Heavenly Water Spiritual Root was already terrifying, and with the added benefit of cultivating from the Three Meridians of the Same Root, his cultivation speed has now more than doubled.

As long as he has sufficient cultivation resources, he is confident that he can break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining within a year and become a peak Qi Refining cultivator.

"Gurgle."

Looking at the dense golden scales on the ground, the golden egg couldn't help but open its mouth wide and activate its Nascent Soul talent.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Each scale immediately transformed into a swarm of golden light that poured into the golden egg's mouth, causing it to let out a satisfied burp.

Eat scales to replenish scales.

It has lost so many scales; if it doesn't eat more, it will easily become ugly.

Glancing at the delighted golden egg, Chen Beiwu activated his divine sense to examine its three meridians.

To his surprise, there was no beast seal bearing the Dao traces of heaven and earth within the Golden Egg Dharma lineage.

"Could it be that the Golden Egg needs to advance to the second realm of Lesser Demon to transform the two second-tier supreme spiritual techniques, Ocean Absorption and Golden Scale, into a Beast Seal?" Chen Beiwu frowned slightly, pondering to himself.

According to the records of the Immortal Alliance, some powerful bloodlines and outstanding talents of the same beast need to complete the evolution of their innate spells before they can be transformed into the same beast seals that contracted cultivators can also use.

In layman's terms, the Golden Egg's current cultivation level is too low to refine the top-grade spiritual technique into a Beast Seal through the Shared Contract.

……

At noon, the sun hangs high in the sky, and the streets of the northern trading area of ​​Yinxiafang Market are lined with vendors' stalls.

Because there are no fixed locations in the trading area, these vendors basically just spread an animal hide on the ground and then neatly arrange the miscellaneous items they are selling on it.

Chen Beiwu arrived late today, and his stall had already been taken by his competitors, leaving only a corner spot.

Glancing at Wei Xuesong, Chen Beiwu saw a familiar blue-orange aura.

"He was indeed at the auction the day before yesterday," Chen Beiwu thought with certainty.

With his orange-colored luck, it's no wonder Wei Xuesong was able to find the Soul-Locking Stone.

The other party just didn't know its value, and he managed to snag a bargain.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, do you still need Phoenix Yellow Dendrobium?" Wei Xuesong asked with a friendly smile.

"Not for now." Chen Beiwu shook his head and casually chose a spot to set up his stall.

His main purpose in setting up a stall now is not to earn spirit stones, but to build a reputation for talismans, study formations, and learn some information about the Southern Wilderness's Evolution Realm.

Sure enough, not long after Chen Beiwu sat down, the nearby vendors began to discuss the major events that had recently occurred.

"Have you heard? The Gu family's son-in-law selection event has been canceled."

"It was cancelled yesterday. The second young lady of the Gu family was seriously injured in the Jiexiu incident and has not yet recovered. How could she possibly continue to hold the marriage recruitment conference?"

"What?! The second young lady of the Gu family is a top-grade first-level alchemist, highly valued by the Gu family. Which cultivator is so audacious as to not be afraid of the Gu family's Foundation Establishment cultivators taking action?!"

"Tch, what's so strange about that? Although the Gu family is a Foundation Establishment family and can intimidate us Qi Refining cultivators, they can't scare Foundation Establishment cultivators."

"Hiss, fellow Daoist, do you mean a Foundation Establishment cultivator has made a move?"

"Shortly after the Blackrock Mountain auction, the entire Graywind Gorge was razed to the ground. Who but a Foundation Establishment cultivator could have done that?"

Hearing these remarks, Chen Beiwu's heart stirred.

Contrary to rumors, he knew that there was more than one Foundation Establishment cultivator lying in ambush in Gray Wind Gorge.

The fact that the second young lady of the Gu family could escape with serious injuries from the attack of two Foundation Establishment cultivators while only having a Qi Refining body shows that she is quite an outstanding person.

Chen Beiwu shook his head, listening to the rumors about the five major sects while taking out the [Basic Talisman Drawing Experience] to study it.

【Azure Scale Talisman】

【Binding Talisman】

[Shadow Talisman]

[Burning Arrow Talisman]

As Chen Beiwu was immersed in the Dao of Talismans, a voice suddenly came from ahead asking a question.

"How much is this water arrow talisman?"

"Five spirit stones for one sheet, nine spirit stones for two sheets."

After speaking, Chen Beiwu put down the book, raised his head, and his pupils contracted slightly.

The newcomer had an orange aura above her head, wore an ice silk veil, and had long, flowing black hair that reached her waist like ink splashed on a painting, making her look like a fairy who had stepped out of a painting.

"You know me?" Zhu Qiong asked curiously.

Although the concealing artifact the other party carried was quite good, it still couldn't hide from her, who was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

With a mere sweep of her divine sense, she easily discerned Chen Beiwu's handsome features, realizing that this was their first meeting and they were by no means old acquaintances.

After realizing what had happened, Chen Beiwu quickly bowed and apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, I was being presumptuous. Fellow Daoist has jade-like bones and ice-like skin, and an ethereal and otherworldly temperament, so I was momentarily distracted. Please forgive me."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qiong's pretty face, hidden behind her veil, blushed slightly.

She had only recently left the sect to travel and this was the first time she had heard such straightforward praise.

Especially since the person who said these words was a handsome male cultivator with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and an elegant demeanor like a pine tree, he was secretly pleased and developed a slight liking for Chen Beiwu.

"It's alright." Zhu Qiong shook her head, pretending to be calm as she took out nine low-grade spirit stones and placed them on the animal skin. Then she picked up two water arrow talismans, turned around, and left as if fleeing.

After accepting the spirit stones, Chen Beiwu quietly watched Zhu Qiong leave, then picked up the Basic Talisman Drawing Manual and continued reading.

His subconscious reaction just now was too obvious.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and found an excuse to deflect the question, successfully dispelling the suspicions of this true disciple.

The only thing that puzzled Chen Beiwu was how a true disciple from one of the five major sects could act like a naive young girl, blushing at his words of praise.

"I must have seen wrong." Chen Beiwu shook his head, suppressing any distracting thoughts.

His praise was rather polite, the kind that would be considered boring by female cultivators even on the Immortal Alliance website.

You can fool ordinary people, but trying to shake the mind of a Foundation Establishment expert is simply a pipe dream.

The redness of the other person's ears is likely due to a problem with their cultivation technique.

……

Ling Shan Lou.

Zhu Qiong sat by the window, her gaze fixed on the ground below, a slight smile playing on her lips, her right hand fiddling with a water arrow talisman.

'This little guy is not only good at making talismans, but he also has a great eye for them.'

Even if she breaks through to the peak of Foundation Establishment at the age of fifty, she can only get the evaluation from her taciturn master: "Good aptitude, with the potential to reach the Golden Core stage."

As for her fellow disciples, they all thought she was a second-generation immortal, and their tone was always filled with awe, making conversations with her quite boring.

This little guy not only spoke in an interesting way, but the water arrow talisman he drew was also different from ordinary talismans, which surprised her quite a bit.

Just then, there were three knocks on the door of the private room.

"Inner disciple Shu You requests an audience with the Moon Selection Envoy!"
