Chapter 135 News about the Golden Sacred Tiger Spirit Object

Chen Qing's gaze then fell on the thin tiger cub—

Golden Tiger

[Realm Level: First Tier, Low Grade]

[Potential: Mid-grade Tier 3]

[Bloodline: Contains a trace of the true spirit of the Golden Sacred Tiger bloodline (Activated 20%)]

[Status: Screen Weak - Close]

This time, Chen Qing's pupils shrank slightly.

Golden Holy Tiger!

Although there is no Golden Tiger in the Canglan Domain, the book "Complete Encyclopedia of Monsters in the Canglan Domain" still records the Golden Sacred Tiger—one of the ancient true spirits, with a golden body, ranked alongside the White Tiger, it is the master of killing and warfare, and a single roar can shake down stars. Under its claws, all beasts bow down, making it the king of all beasts.

Like the Xuanhuang Ancient Ape, it is a legendary existence!

Looking at the little guy's thin appearance, Chen Qing immediately understood.

When I first met Qingtian, he looked just like that. He was ostracized and driven away from the monkey troop. He was thin and small, with gray fur that made him inconspicuous.

It seems that this so-called "special bloodline" may not be a blessing for ordinary monsters—the bloodline is too domineering, and it devours most of the mother's nutrients, making its body weaker than that of its ordinary kind.

Without the system, this golden tiger would most likely not have lived to adulthood.

Chen Qing had already made up his mind. He stood up and prepared to let Song Yang and Shi Xiuyuan choose first.

However, the next second, Shi Xiuyuan spoke up: "I joined the sect the earliest, so I'm considered the senior brother and should give way to my two junior brothers. Junior Brother Chen, Junior Brother Song, you can choose first."

Song Yang raised a thick eyebrow, understanding what Shi Xiuyuan meant.

Chen Qing also understood Shi Xiuyuan's meaning. This senior brother obviously didn't recognize the bloodline of the Golden Sacred Tiger, but simply wanted to give the best one to his junior brother and take the thinnest one himself.

He was slightly touched.

Although there are few people on Beast Taming Peak, the camaraderie among the fellow disciples is indeed much stronger than the infighting and backstabbing among the other peaks of Lingyun Sect.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but lower his guard a little.

Chen Qing stepped forward, bent down, and gently picked up the thin little guy. The little guy hummed twice, nestled in his palm, found a comfortable position, and stayed still.

"Since Senior Brother Shi let me choose first, then I'll choose this one," Chen Qing said with a smile, looking up. "I get along well with this little guy."

Song Yang frowned, glanced at Chen Qing, hesitated, and finally said nothing. He simply reached out and scooped up one of the robust cubs: "Alright, I'll take this one."

Shi Xiuyuan glanced at Chen Qing, remained silent for a moment, then nodded and gently put the last healthy cub into his arms.

After dividing the three cubs, what remained were the miscellaneous items in Jin Yue and Qin Ziyou's storage bags.

Although these items were not as precious as the previous three, every little bit counts, and the four of them didn't stand on ceremony and quickly divided them up.

Chen Qing received two mid-grade spirit stones, plus several talismans.

He looked down and flipped through the items: three high-grade "Explosion Talismans," three high-grade "Earth Prison Talismans," and one high-grade "Golden Sword Talisman" that was already somewhat damaged. Except for the "Explosion Talismans," the quality of the others was only average, but they were practical and could be of great use in critical moments.

However, the harvest was indeed rather meager.

Fang Yuan looked up at the items in Chen Qing's hands, a slightly apologetic expression on his round face: "Junior Brother Chen, you didn't give me enough. How about taking a few more?"

Song Yang nodded in agreement: "Yes, Junior Brother Chen, you took the initiative to ask for that skinny kid, but you got the least when it came to distributing the food. How could you accept that?"

Chen Qing smiled, put the spirit stones and talismans into his storage bag, and then took out the fist-sized golden beetle from the spirit beast bag at his waist, holding it in his palm for the three of them to see.

"It's alright. I got this beetle from Jin Yue's corpse. I don't know exactly what it is, but the fact that he kept it close to his body suggests it must be quite valuable. With this, my share is enough."

Fang Yuan leaned closer, squinted and sensed for a moment, a strange expression appearing on his face.

This golden beetle is round and smooth like a pearl, with a faint metallic sheen on its back. Its two antennae droop and it is motionless, looking as if it is asleep.

However, its aura was pitifully weak; it was hardly even stronger than the common insects in the mountains and forests, let alone a low-grade first-level creature.

"This thing—it's probably not even a low-grade first-tier item, right?" Fang Yuan glanced at Chen Qing hesitantly. Seeing that he didn't intend to take it back, he shook his head, picked out a palm-sized cyan jade token from Jin Yue's pile of things, and handed it over. "Even so, Junior Brother Chen, you should still take this Ascension Token. At least you can exchange it for a few spirit stones, so that I, as your senior brother, won't feel uneasy."

Chen Qing took the jade pendant and examined it.

The jade plaque is entirely green, with the words "Ascension to Immortality" engraved on the front and an intricate cloud pattern on the back.

Ascension Order.

Chen Qing was no stranger to this object.

This is a token issued by the Lingyun Sect to the families of meritorious individuals. If a member of the family possesses a disciple of the appropriate age with spiritual roots, the holder of this token can directly enter the sect for cultivation without undergoing any examination.

Jin Yue possessed this item but did not use it, most likely because he had taken it from some unfortunate soul.

He didn't need it, but it was better than nothing; Chen Qing casually put the Ascension Token into his storage bag and cupped his hands in greeting to Fang Yuan.

After the spoils were divided, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Shi Xiuyuan remained silent, not saying much. He glanced at the thin golden tiger cub in Chen Qing's arms, a slight frown appearing between his brows.

He hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Junior Brother Chen, as your senior brother, I don't want you to suffer. Your golden tiger is weak, and it will probably require far more resources to train than the other two."

"Fang Pangzi, Song Yang, and I are planning to try our luck in a few more secret realms. If you're interested, why not team up with us? Having another person will help us out."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing's heart stirred slightly.

He had a system, so he naturally understood how much of an advantage he had gained. While traveling with Shi Xiuyuan and the other two was certainly safe, it would inevitably expose his true nature.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Qing shook his head: "I appreciate Senior Brother Shi's kindness. However, I still have five years left in my term at Qinghe Lake, and I cannot abandon my sect's mission. I am not as free as the three senior brothers. I was only able to enter the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm this time because we are all in Qingzhou. If you go somewhere else next time, I'm afraid I will be unable to attend to you."

Shi Xiuyuan was silent for a moment, but did not try to persuade him further. He simply nodded.

But he didn't stop there. Instead, he took out a jade slip and handed it over, saying, "A few days ago, I received a message from a rogue cultivator: a new first-tier secret realm appeared six months ago in the direction of Blood Spirit Abyss in the north of the Wu Kingdom, which used to be the Jueyuan County of Yunzhou."

Upon hearing the words "Yunzhou," Chen Qing's brow twitched almost imperceptibly.

Shi Xiuyuan continued, "That rogue cultivator discovered a location inside that has a high probability of containing a Foundation Establishment spiritual treasure. Although that place is located in the Blood Spirit Abyss, the entrance to the secret realm itself is not deep within the Blood Spirit Abyss, so going in and out shouldn't be a big problem."

He looked at Chen Qing, his tone becoming more serious: "Junior Brother Chen, you've now reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, it's time to start planning for Foundation Establishment. Once you reach the ninth level of Qi Refining, and Silver Moon has reached the peak of the middle grade, if that secret realm is still open, you can try your luck there."

"If you find it too risky, you can resell the information for a good amount of spirit stones."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing couldn't help but recall the scene in Yunzhou Market back then—Meng Xingzhou, a person who had reached the pinnacle of Qi cultivation, had to use several bottles of Initial Yuan Pills to obtain information about a spiritual object.

Shi Xiuyuan has truly given a gift.

Chen Qing accepted the jade slip and solemnly cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you for informing me, Senior Brother Shi. This information is invaluable; I'll remember it. If I haven't gathered all the Foundation Establishment spiritual items by then, I will seriously consider making the trip."

Seeing that he had taken it to heart, Shi Xiuyuan said no more and simply nodded slightly.

The four cleaned up the things on the ground, making sure nothing was left behind, and then did not linger any longer.

"Farewell, my three senior brothers." Chen Qing clasped his hands in greeting to the three of them.

"Take care of yourself!"

Fang Yuan and the other two returned the greeting, then each boarded their flying magical artifacts and headed towards the Lingyun Sect.

Chen Qing stood there, watching the three figures gradually shrink until they disappeared into the depths of the clouds; he let out a long breath, his shoulders slumping slightly.

Jin Yue and Qin Ziyou, who had known each other for thirty years, were willing to kill each other for a single Silver Marrow Fruit, while Fang Yuan, Shi Xiuyuan, and Song Yang, whose cultivation levels were clearly "higher" than his, yielded to him at every turn.

Although there are few people on Beast Taming Peak, the camaraderie among the fellow disciples is indeed more genuine than elsewhere.

Chen Qing looked down at the thin tiger cub in his arms, then touched the storage bag at his waist, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

If Fang Yuan handed over the Silver Marrow Fruit Tree to the Beast Taming Peak, he estimated that he could get at least two thousand contribution points. If the three of them split it equally, each of them would get nearly seven hundred points. As a Spirit Suppressor at Qinghe Lake, he only earned fifty contribution points a year. This was equivalent to getting more than ten years of hard work for free.

He raised antelope chickens for five years at Spirit Beast Peak, earning five contribution points each year; after joining Beast Taming Peak, he raised blue carp for two more years. Although he funded it himself, he was still affiliated with a mission and earned twenty contribution points each year.

He then spent another three years at Banyue Lake; Banyue Lake is located on the border and contributes 20 more points than Qinghe Lake, totaling 70 points per year.

He has been at Qinghe Lake for five years, earning fifty points each year, and with another five years to go, that's five hundred contribution points.

The total is 775 points. Adding the 700 points from the Silver Marrow Fruit Tree, this is even more than the 1200 contribution points needed to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill.

In this way, only two Foundation Establishment Spiritual Items are needed to exchange for one Foundation Establishment Pill.
