Starting from the two realms, cultivating immortality by taming beasts

Chapter 8 Jingyuan Zhenjun

When the bell rang, the whole class seemed to explode. Almost all the students rushed to the training room immediately, except for a few people near Chen Beiwu who slowly got up.

Most students at Shouhe No. 2 Middle School come from well-off families and have plenty of spirit stones to rent cultivation rooms, which makes the school's first-grade high-level cultivation rooms always full and hard to find, requiring quick competition to secure a room.

But Chen Beiwu was different. He was relatively poor and usually used free first-tier mid-grade cultivation rooms, so he didn't need to compete with others.

As for Xu Ziqing and the other two, they come from a family of cultivators with an extraordinary family background. They usually use second-level cultivation rooms and probably look down on the school's first-level cultivation rooms.

"That's so unfair!" Xu Lingling complained. "Last time I was late, the teacher made me stand for the entire class period as punishment. My legs were so tired. Why doesn't Chen Beiwu have to stand as punishment?!"

"What are your grades? What are Beiwu's grades? There's no fairness in this world."

Liu Yan, who was standing to the side, suddenly interjected, "As our teacher would say, if you're fast at one step, you'll be fast at every step. Bei Wu was able to contract a spirit beast in his second year of high school, making up for the shortcomings of a Qi Refining cultivator. He can be said to be a genius that Shouhe No. 2 Middle School has seen only once in a hundred years. He is a potential immortal sect cultivator that even the principal has to pay close attention to."

"Tch, you're just bragging. Getting into the Thirteen Immortal Sects isn't that easy." Xu Lingling curled her lip and looked at her best friend. "Even a cultivation prodigy like Ziqing wouldn't dare say she'd definitely be accepted by the Thirteen Immortal Sects, let alone Chen Beiwu."

"Lingling, stop talking." Xu Ziqing interrupted her best friend's rambling.

"Hmph, I'll say it, I'll say it. Who told him to always bully a weak woman like me?" Xu Lingling muttered.

What do you mean by turning her back? You have no taste! She has a purely natural beautiful figure!

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu slightly raised his eyes.

A ray of the rising sun shone through the window, casting a soft glow on Xu Lingling's glossy black hair and giving her delicate features a fresh and pure illusion.

That's right, it's just an illusion!

At this moment, Xu Lingling was wearing a refreshing blue and white school uniform. The cuffs of her shirt fluttered in the wind, slightly revealing her fair skin, which was almost sickly white, as if it would be blown away by a gust of wind. She had a delicate and fragile temperament, but she was definitely not the kind of woman who was weak.

What does that mean?

The first lesson for monks: Never judge an enemy's strength based solely on appearance. Xu Lingling is a typical example of this.

In any case, Chen Beiwu had never seen a "weak woman" who could uproot a willow tree and use an entire willow tree as a weapon to defeat ten classmates in a row without running out of energy during a practical class.

In her second year of high school, she had a well-known nickname: "Human Tyrannosaurus Rex," and basically no student dared to mess with her.

"Beep beep!"

Just then, Chen Beiwu's phone vibrated twice in his pocket.

He took out his phone and saw that his application to purchase a spirit beast had been approved by his homeroom teacher, Wang Kui, and another message was confirmation of his eligibility from the Spirit Beast Pavilion.

Noticing the barely concealed joy in Chen Beiwu's eyes, Xu Ziqing asked, "Is it news from the Spirit Beast Pavilion?"

"Yes." Chen Beiwu didn't hide anything. "The departure date is set for the 15th of this month."

"It's the same day for me too." Xu Ziqing smiled gently. "We should be setting off for the Meteor Dragon Mansion with our teacher."

Although there are Golden Core cultivators stationed in Yuankong County, they are not qualified to build a Spirit Beast Pavilion exclusively for the Immortal Alliance.

If the cultivation geniuses from the six nearby counties want to receive the spirit beasts allocated by the Immortal Alliance, they can only go to the prefectural city, which is one level higher than Yuankong County.

"By the way, Lingling and I are planning to go fishing and enjoy the scenery at Jingyuan West Lake this afternoon. Do you want to come along?" Xu Ziqing extended an invitation.

Among the myriad arts of cultivation, fishing is a minor, unorthodox path, but it can still help cultivators cultivate their character and refine their sentiments.

Some exceptionally perceptive cultivators are even able to use the fishing method to comprehend nature and improve their cultivation.

Fishing was not popular in the Fallen Dragon Palace a few years ago, until True Lord Jingyuan appeared out of nowhere three hundred years ago.

Jingyuan Zhenjun's real name is Fang Shanglong. He is from Pingkong County and graduated from Jinghu Sword Sect, one of the Seven Nine Upper Sects. He is a renowned Nascent Soul True Lord in the Fallen Dragon Mansion.

Its most widely circulated and talked-about story is "willing people take the bait," which even Chen Beiwu has heard countless times.

Fang Shanglong was poor from a young age and had only average talent. Before the age of eighteen, he was unremarkable and had no hope of even being admitted to the Jiujiu Zhengzong. However, he did not give up and fished every day on the Jingyuan River with a straight hook suspended three feet in the air.

This fishing trip lasted for a whole month.

The passing cultivators all shook their heads, saying that if one did not use spiritual power, one would not catch a single fish even after a hundred years of fishing.

Six months later, a red-tailed golden gorilla with an extremely rare bloodline leaped high from the Jingyuan River and took the bait, which Fang Shanglong then acquired.

From then on, Fang Shanglong's cultivation advanced greatly. In just half a year, he was admitted to the Mirror Lake Sword Sect and eventually attained the position of True Monarch, taking Jingyuanhe as his Daoist name.

After this story spread, some cultivators in the Fallen Dragon Palace became fascinated with fishing and would go fishing in the Jingyuan River whenever they had free time. However, some cultivators were just following the trend and trying their luck, hoping to become the next True Monarch Jingyuan.

"Maybe next time," Chen Beiwu politely declined.

Watching the two women gradually disappear into the distance, Liu Yan sighed, "As expected of you, the famous steel wall of Shouhe No. 2 Middle School."

"?" Chen Beiwu looked at him in confusion, but did not speak.

"Hey, Beiwu, are you really unaware or just pretending?" Liu Yan said speechlessly, "Xu Ziqing clearly likes you, I don't believe you can't see that."

"Boring. If you could focus on your cultivation, you wouldn't have failed to even make the top fifty in the grade this time." Chen Beiwu glanced at him and turned to leave.

"Tch, no one can compare to Xu Ziqing in cultivation!" Liu Yan shook his head and said, "I don't need to say more, you should have heard of the prestigious reputation of the Fallen Dragon Xu family. They're a cultivation family with a Nascent Soul True Monarch overseeing them!"

"What, do you want to be a kept man?" Chen Beiwu paused in his steps.

"Hehe, so what if she's a kept man? These days, many cultivators want to be kept men but can't find a way, let alone someone as desirable as Xu Ziqing."

Liu Yan bluntly stated, "Xu Ziqing is tall, beautiful, and has a sweet voice. She is exceptionally talented. Although she is not the legitimate daughter of the Xu family, but rather a concubine's daughter, she can still easily obtain the five elements of Foundation Establishment."

"If you can win her heart, achieving Foundation Establishment in the future will be a piece of cake."

At this point, Liu Yan looked at Chen Beiwu, his tone tinged with regret: "Unfortunately, I am of average appearance and aptitude, possessing only a metal-attribute true spiritual root. If I had your looks and aptitude, I might have already won the heart of a beauty."

"A mere Foundation Establishment stage doesn't require the Five Elements of Foundation Establishment at all." Chen Beiwu shook his head and left directly for the cultivation room.

Different road non-phase plan.

Although he and Liu Yan were classmates, they were not very close due to differences in personality and beliefs.

"A mere Foundation Establishment?" Liu Yan stared blankly in the direction Chen Beiwu had disappeared, his tone tinged with jealousy. "How arrogant! Without the blessing of the Five Elements for Foundation Establishment, the probability of an Earth Spirit Root breaking through to Foundation Establishment is only 50%, just 20% higher than a True Spirit Root. Sooner or later you'll regret it!"
