Beast Taming Makes Me Stronger
Chapter 110: Taking Advantage

Chapter 110: Chapter 110: Taking Advantage

The conversation between the two immediately drew the attention of the other core disciples on the Spirit Boat.

When they heard about the Phoenix Nirvana Pill, their eyes lit up and their gaze towards Xu Ming changed.

Taichu Sacred Land, Xuyun Peak.

After resting for three days, Xu Feng once again entered the experimental small world secret realm to begin his research.

This time he stayed for three months before coming out.

"Little Black, it’s not fair to bully me like this. With spiritual beast inner cores changing unpredictably, you want me to find a universal method to predict a substitute spirit pill to be considered qualified."

"That’s simply impossible," Xu Feng shook his head and said.

"If it doesn’t meet the standards, you won’t receive a reward," Little Black said indifferently.

"Then what about this: if I research several particularly scarce inner cores and create usable spirit pills to substitute them, can I get a reward?" Xu Feng asked, trying to negotiate.

"The reward will be determined based on the innovation of the pill formula and its value," the voice of Little Black replied.

"So for the Three Evil Giant Horned Jiao Long Core, just give me a thousand Immortal Crystals," Xu Feng complained.

He had made this suggestion during his experiments, but Little Black offered a very low price.

"The spirit nature of the inner core contained within the Spirit Pill is not up to standard."

Hearing this, Xu Feng sighed, feeling drained.

"A thousand it is, then. Confirming the upload of the pill recipe."

"Pill recipe received, reward can be claimed in the Treasure Vault Realm."

Just as Xu Feng was about to leave after receiving the Immortal Crystals, the two Qilin that greeted the visitors at the gates of the Yundan Sect suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Little Black, may I visit Master Uncle Jiang Qianche?"

"Your appointment request has been sent and is awaiting a response," Little Black’s indifferent voice sounded.

During this time, Xu Feng figured out a pattern: Little Black’s emotions changed with the difficulty of the conversation.

With routine matters, Little Black’s tone was always business-like and indifferent, showing a childlike voice only occasionally.

"Jiang Qianche is on the 37th viewing platform at the top of Xuyun Peak."

The final virtual arrow directed Xu Feng’s path.

At a pavilion at the peak.

"Greetings, Master Uncle Jiang," Xu Feng said with a bow.

"Come and sit. Right now, you are Taichu Sacred Land’s hottest Spirit Level Alchemist," Jiang Qianche said with a smile.

Xu Feng respectfully took a seat opposite Jiang Qianche.

"You flatter me, Uncle."

"What brings you here, seeking advice, or something else?" Jiang Qianche’s gaze wandered leisurely to the scenery below the mountain.

"The other day I inadvertently heard that the two Qilins of Alchemy Dao might soon give birth to offspring."

"I would like to ask, under what circumstances one might obtain a Qilin cub."

"I am a cultivator on the path of Beast Mastery," Xu Feng said cautiously.

"Big dreams, not bad."

"Those two are Pure Blood Qilin Divine Beasts with extraordinary bloodlines. If they continue to grow, reaching the Immortal Monarch Realm wouldn’t be an issue."

"With some added fortune, they might even have a chance at ascending to the Immortal Emperor Realm."

"If you desire a Qilin cub, you will need an Innate Spiritual Treasure, or cultivation techniques of an Immortal Monarch’s Dao inheritance, or an ultimate scripture that can elevate one to the Saint Realm," Jiang Qianche turned his head towards Xu Feng.

Xu Feng thought carefully; among the four conditions, he seemed to meet only one.

"Do you know how those two Pure Blood Qilins came to be?"

Jiang Qianche waved his hand and a set of teaware appeared on the stone table, automatically preparing tea without anyone’s aid, and soon a pot of tea was ready.

"Could it be due to the two Saint Level Elders in the sect?"

"Correct. Divine Beasts seeking to ascend also need resources."

"The fastest way to go from Daluo Realm to Immortal Monarch is to have a Saint Level Alchemist specifically concoct Holy Pills to aid in their cultivation."

"If one day you become a Saint Level Alchemist, just let your reputation spread, and Divine Beasts like Pure Blood Qilins will come knocking."

"As a Spirit Level Alchemist in this lifetime, you and Minghe have the greatest chance of becoming Saint Level Alchemists."

"By then, you can choose from a variety of Divine Beasts, ensuring you’ll be spoilt for choice."

"Now, with no major external threats and the Sacred Land not requiring a potentially powerful alchemist like you to fight, you can peacefully contemplate the Dao of Alchemy. When you step into the Saint Realm, whatever you desire will be but a thought away."

"Thank you for the guidance, Uncle. I will remember it well," said Xu Feng, as he stood up and bowed.

"No need for that, sit down and drink tea."

"Do you have any current puzzles about Alchemy Dao? Let’s enjoy this beautiful scenery and discuss to clear up any doubts," Jiang Qianche said with a friendly gaze at Xu Feng.

To the sect, a disciple like Xu Feng, who entered with a clear origin and grand inheritance and passed the tests of the Sacred Land, was the most cherished kind.

Especially after their character has been evaluated by the Sacred Land, their approval increased even more.

When Xu Feng became a core honored disciple, the last 30 or more years of his life were recorded in Little Black’s database.

After deducing Xu Feng possessed a grand inheritance, Little Black went on to check his lineage six generations up.

"Recently, I’ve been researching the way of substituting inner cores with spirit pills and have many uncertainties. I hope Uncle can provide answers," Xu Feng said seriously.

He didn’t expect to get some free guidance by paying a visit.

"Go into details."

An enclosing array formed around the pavilion where they were seated.

Half a month later, Xu Feng left Xuyun Sect, his eyes shining with newfound understanding.

On the peak of Xuyun, Jiang Qianche looked towards the direction Xu Feng had left, a slight smile on his face.

At first, it was to solve puzzles, but it gradually evolved into a discussion of the Dao between the two.

Both benefited from the half-month of discussion.

Back at the Xu Family Courtyard, Xu Feng entered the Cultivation Room immediately after returning and then his Divine Thought entered the Mountain and Sea Divine Beast World.

"Indeed, my understanding has improved, and my thoughts are much clearer now."

Despite some of his confusions from the half-month of discussions remaining only half-solved, as soon as he entered the Mountain and Sea Divine Beast World, his thoughts became instantly clear.

"What a pity the Human Clan’s Ten Great Cultivation Techniques cannot be cultivated in the conventional way, otherwise I would definitely choose one to practice," said Xu Feng with a bit of frustration.

His mediocre talent meant that even if he understood the theory, both his internal core and external abilities couldn’t keep up.

It was like a racing driver behind the wheel of an outdated delivery van.

After etching the insights from their discussion into his memory, Xu Feng checked on his turtle son.

Noticing that it had just finished a fight and was healing, and sensing Xu Feng’s Divine Thought, it even let out a pitiful cry.

"Whatever beat you, beat it back. You are a majestic male turtle that stands tall in the sky; fear no hardship."

A bowl of wholesome motivational speech was poured down, igniting a fire of fury in the eyes of the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle.

Having completed all this, Xu Feng exited the Mountain and Sea Divine Beast World.

A discussion was finished, and Xu Feng still had one more task after returning home: the Nirvana Pill task for the fledgling phoenix.

The task assigned by Xiao Hei was simple, offering two Immortal Crystals for every Nirvana Pill provided that the spiritual medicines and materials were supplied.

As a Spirit Level elixir that was the most difficult to craft even for an excellent Spirit Level Alchemist, one could at most craft one batch per day.

But who was Xu Feng? He was the creator of the improved version of the Nirvana Pill.

There was no one in the entire Immortal Realm who understood better how to craft the Nirvana Pill than him.

"Xiao Hei, I’m going to fleece you!"

As he said this, Xu Feng had sealed the communication treasure distributed by the Sect.

"Xiao Hei, send me materials for 3000 Nirvana Pills," Xu Feng said after unsealing the communication treasure.

"Materials disbursed must be used up within a month, and if the success rate doesn’t meet the standard, compensation shall be made at the original price," Xiao Hei’s ruthless voice echoed.

"Send them over."

It didn’t take long for an Outer Disciple from the Taichu Sacred Land to hand a medium-sized Storage Bag to the steward.

In the Alchemy Room, Xu Feng was preoccupied with devising ways to craft the Nirvana Pills in large quantities.

By the time he opened his eyes, all materials were already handled by his Puppets.

A deep blue flame rose from the Alchemy Furnace.

Hundreds of Phoenix Spirit Grasses and Phoenix Blood Grasses were thrown into the furnace.

"It’s just over ten thousand Immortal Crystals. Just craft a few more batches of Spirit Pills and everything will be there," Xu Feng said confidently.

At the frontlines outside the Demon Slaying Immortal City in Kunxu Realm, a huge platform was erected, its interior space akin to a small world.

"Good luck. It seems that members of the Imperial Family from the Demon Clan have come here for training."

Not far from the platform, Du Yun explained to the audience.

These past few months, Xu Ming was brought along by Du Yun to travel among the various frontier Immortal Cities of the Kunxu Realm, greatly broadening his horizons to the brutality of the frontline.

"Can’t the names of the Immortal Cities here be a bit more original than Demon Suppression Immortal City, Slaying Demon Immortal City, Killing Demon Immortal City, Devil Torturing Immortal City, Demon Hunting Immortal City, Demon Slaying Immortal City?" a Core Disciple walking alongside Du Yun complained.

"Yes, there are others. Just keep watching and you’ll come across a few," replied Du Yun with a secretive smile.

Just then, a Giant Golden Lion with Body Integration aura appeared on the huge platform.

At last, a painting descended from the sky, radiating the aura of an Immortal Artifact.

"Humans, defeat me in an equal realm and take the Immortal Artifact above," roared the Golden Lion arrogantly.

"The Golden Holy Lion is one of the Imperial Families from the Demon Clan. The one on the stage should be of the direct royal lineage, and in the same realm, its combat power is absolutely among the very best."

"However, in this realm, there’s an even more monstrous presence in this Immortal City. Just sit back and enjoy the show," Du Yun briefed.

"Senior Brother, can we really take the Immortal Artifact if we defeat that lion?" a Core Disciple couldn’t help but ask.

"What are you talking about? Do we, the Human Clan, look like pushovers?"

Before Du Yun could finish his sentence, a pair of huge azure wings appeared in the sky, also emanating the aura of an Immortal Artifact.

At that moment, a nearly ten-meter-tall giant warrior appeared on the platform, emitting the aura of the Body Integration Realm.

"Heavenly Steel Immortal Sect, Long Zhengyu," the giant warrior bellowed, his robust and wild aura spreading across the platform.

"Long Zhengyu, I’ve heard of you, the one who was scratched by a Holy Lion from my clan and ran back home," the Golden Giant Lion looked disdainful, unimpressed by his opponent.

"Fighting me, a Mahayana, in Body Integration and you think it adds to your honor?"

"Today we are of the same realm, and if I don’t beat the crap out of you, then consider it clean made!"

A ten-meter Giant Body Dharma Form materialized behind him, and a vast surge of Qi Blood Power bore down on the Golden Giant Lion.

"The battle begins~" A voice rang out from the Demon Clan’s camp.

Then on the massive platform, the human faction witnessed the concept of sheer power breaking all techniques.

No fancy Divine Skills, that ten-meter Golden Body just grabbed the Golden Giant Lion by the neck, mounted it, and began pummeling it.

Punches heavier than the last struck the Golden Giant Lion, causing pitiful wails to resound throughout the platform.

The fight was like a farce, ending as abruptly as it had started.

Long Zhengyu, holding the Immortal Artifact scroll, didn’t leave the platform.

"Two Immortal Artifacts, any Demon Clan of the same realm who defeats me can take them. Those who lose leave behind two Immortal Artifacts!"

"A silly lion who hasn’t even grown a full mane, daring to swagger over to our Human Clan side!"

"Pah!"
