Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming
Chapter 696 - 690: Money Talks to Gods and Enslaves Ghosts

After some calculation, Qin Feng felt indescribably delighted.

There had been a time when even the Golden Core Realm was a presence he had to look up to, with the Immortal Dao being an unreachable dream he yearned for!

And now, not only had he achieved longevity himself, but several of his Spiritual Beasts were on the verge of becoming Demon Immortals as well.

Such achievements, let alone within the Qin Family, would be considered rare even in the Beast Taming Sect.

After all, aside from the two ancestors, not even Elder Kongkong had managed to cultivate so many Spiritual Beasts to the Demon Immortal Realm, with only Elder Liuling possessing six Heavenly Immortal Realm Demon Beasts!

Of course, this was also related to the fact that Elder Kongkong and the other Supreme Elders were unwilling to spend so many resources on Spiritual Beasts. After all, resources capable of assisting someone in Becoming an Immortal were extremely precious, and there weren't even enough to go around for the disciples, let alone to be used on Spiritual Beasts.

And Qin Feng, he was just waiting for this time to help his Spiritual Beasts integrate before they could consecutively embark on the path to Immortality!

By then, his forces would surge in strength, and once the rest of the Spiritual Beasts were promoted as well, he would surpass Elder Liuling and become the one with the most Demon Immortals.

This was one of the biggest advantages of owning the Demon Refining Pot—a treasure that could change his life.

If he hadn't had the Demon Refining Pot, he wouldn't have taken this path and would have been like the other Beast Taming Sect cultivators, hesitant to keep so many Spiritual Beasts.

However, figuring out how to help the other three Spiritual Beasts advance was giving him a headache.

After all, the treasures they needed were too specialized.

In fact, the primary reason for such trouble was that his own rate of advancement was too fast.

He was indeed a Master of Qi Luck, but the Spiritual Beasts under his command were merely followers of a Master of Qi Luck—they could not possibly have as rich Qi Fortune as he did, so naturally, their pace of progress could not match his own.

In reality, had these Spiritual Beasts been under the care of other Beast Taming Sect cultivators, they could have cultivated step-by-step without any such troubles.

Normal cultivators like Ning Wuxu commonly get stuck at the Primordial Spirit Peak for a thousand years, and it's expected for Spiritual Beasts to slowly accumulate strength over a thousand years as a normal cultivation method.

Even in the years after becoming an Immortal, none of the Spiritual Beasts nurtured by Ning Wuxu had become Demon Immortals.

In fact, apart from having highly talented and greatly insightful Spiritual Beasts that achieved longevity early on, most Spiritual Beasts under the Supreme Elders of the Beast Taming Sect were slowly cultivated over hundreds or thousands of years.

After all, so many Human Clan Cultivators are firmly stuck at this barrier—why should Demon Beasts be stronger than Human Clan Cultivators?

In terms of understanding, Human Clan Cultivators have always been superior; otherwise, with their inherently weak physical bodies, how could they have suppressed the Demon Clan?

Qin Feng shook his head, temporarily putting aside the issues with the White Dragon and the Spring and Autumn Cicada, and decided to focus on the other Demon Beasts under his command.

He placed all the Space Treasures given by the White Bone City into the Chaotic Sky Map, entrusting them to the Swallowing Sky Toad!

Even though these treasures were precious, with just a few Space Crystal Stones enough to exchange for a Spiritual Treasure, and those rarer Void Netherstones and other Space Treasures being invaluable, Qin Feng himself was not lacking in ordinary treasures or in need of many Spirit Treasures.

Should he have a need, he could always trade other resources to obtain them!

What he lacked were resources specific to his needs.

If it weren't for the request from the White Bone City Lord, he wouldn't have a way to obtain those resources that could aid the Swallowing Sky Toad in its advancement.

Because he was not lacking in ordinary treasures, Qin Feng did not feel any pain in feeding these Space Crystal Stones to the Swallowing Sky Toad.

After all, these were items that came at no cost to him; why store them idly for admiration if not for the Swallowing Sky Toad to refine and advance?

Resources are meant to be used; what's the use of keeping them without using them?

To put it bluntly, what if one were to die on the battlefield in another world? Wouldn't others just reap the benefits?

After arranging for the Swallowing Sky Toad, Qin Feng turned his attention to the Spirit Turtle, who was showing off his swimming skills to the group of mermaids in Beiming Immortal Mansion.

He felt that ever since the arrival of the mermaids, the Old Turtle seemed to have gradually changed, apparently getting more used to his current life, often impressing the mermaids with his prowess, and at times demonstrating his Prediction Divine Power, leaving them in awe.

However, since he had introduced the Nine-Headed Serpent Hydra to the sea area of Beiming Immortal Mansion, perhaps challenged by the presence of a stronger monster, the Spirit Turtle's desire to enhance its strength had become increasingly evident!

Although it proclaimed to the mermaids that its master had bestowed Beiming Cave Heaven to it, it couldn't control any of the laws or Array Formation Restrictions of this Small World. Thus, without any other proof and no such claims from Qin Feng to validate it in front of the mermaids, the Spirit Turtle's claims were just empty talk.

Consequently, as time passed, some mermaids started doubting the truth of its words and grew reluctant to pay attention to what it said.

Had it not been for the Spirit Turtle's notable skills, predicting minor events and stunning the mermaids, it might have long lost the attention of the mermaids.

After all, among these mermaids, there were powerful individuals, including a few from the Demigod Realm, particularly a mermaid princess adorned with a crown. Though young in appearance, her power was formidable.

In a real fight, the Spirit Turtle wouldn't necessarily win easily, and with so many powerful mermaids, victory was even less assured.

This mermaid princess of royal descent was naturally gifted with powerful Water Manipulation abilities and had advanced to the Demigod Realm in just a few years, a standout among the mermaids.

Initially, the Spirit Turtle was puzzled but after careful Prediction, realized that this mermaid possessed divine blood, naturally a Demigod, with an exceptionally dominant bloodline, explaining her swift cultivation.

However, it was rumored that her royal father, the king, had not become a god, and her mother, known for her beauty and tenderness, was also not particularly strong—it was a mystery how they had a child with a Demigod bloodline!

The Spirit Turtle seemed to envision a hat woven from lush green seaweed floating before its eyes...

Just as the Spirit Turtle was about to get closer to the Mermaid Princess to divine another reading and possibly discern which divine being her bloodline descended from, its body suddenly stiffened. It then hastily reverted to its original form, surfaced, and bowed towards the sky: "Master!"

Qin Feng's true form had not entered; he had merely used the power of the Demon Refining Pot to coalesce a primordial qi avatar inside.

However, it was vividly lifelike; if one didn't look closely, it was indeed difficult to distinguish between true and false!

Qin Feng looked at the Spirit Turtle with a seemingly amused smile, "Having quite the fun, aren't you? I hope I didn't disturb your pleasures?"

"Where would that idea come from, Master? I am your most loyal subordinate. How could I possibly get distracted by playfulness?"

The Spirit Turtle proclaimed righteously, "As for just now, that was merely me communicating with the mermaids, instructing them to diligently practice their war formation, prepared to await your orders for battle at any moment!"

"Mm, not bad!"

Qin Feng couldn't be bothered to expose it. After all, having such an expert in flattery occasionally indulge one's vanity wasn't too bad; it was rather mood-lifting!

"Alright, back to the palace!"

Qin Feng instructed, "You are not far from reaching the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm. One more step and you could master the Dao of Longevity.

Once you've become an immortal, there will be no need to help you integrate any more bloodlines or inherit divine skills. Best to gather several powerful divine skills for self-defense while you still can!

Go on, practice diligently in the palace for some time, and strive to become an immortal at the earliest opportunity!"

Although he could help it integrate bloodlines here with his control over the Demon Refining Pot, this sea area was where the mermaids practiced their battle formations, often filled with spells being cast. It was easily disrupted, so Qin Feng instructed it to go to the palace on land.

Not only was it guarded by protected Array Formation Restrictions—making it very safe—but most importantly, without his orders, no creature in the entire Beiming Immortal Mansion dared to enter. It was quiet, very conducive for the Spirit Turtle to blend and cultivate.

"Many thanks to the Master!"

The Spirit Turtle was originally somewhat anxious, unsure what Qin Feng wanted to talk about.

Could it be that he found it flirting with the mermaids a bit too frivolous and wanted to seize the opportunity to put it down?

The other mermaids perhaps mattered less, but that Mermaid Princess wasn't just strikingly beautiful; her skin was exceptionally tender and smooth, irresistible to touch, invoking compassion at a glance. Could it possibly be that the master had taken a fancy to her?

Ah, if that's the case, wouldn't it mean trouble for me?

But upon hearing what Qin Feng had to say, it immediately felt relieved, thanking him jubilantly.

Besides, considering his senior sister's temper, if she found out that he was being unfaithful, she might just cut off his troublemaker. He wouldn't dare to take such risks!

The Spirit Turtle glanced nervously at Qin Feng, then swiftly flew towards the area of the palace.

Some things must never be said aloud, or one might get silenced!

Qin Feng watched the departing Spirit Turtle with some curiosity.

He had the feeling that the creature was acting like it had done something wrong, displaying a sort of guilty conscience.

However, he was not the type to dig to the root of issues, nor did he intend to use the Demon Refining Pot to forcibly probe the secrets hidden deep within the Spirit Turtle's heart. Once the Spirit Turtle was in place, he activated the Demon Refining Pot and began assisting the Spirit Turtle in integrating the bloodline power of the Money Turtle.

The Money Turtle was also an ancient mutant species. The divine skills inherited through its bloodline were somewhat peculiar; it could conjure countless coins for attacks and also materialize three lifebound coins for divining fortuity. This aspect actually suited the Spirit Turtle quite well.

Additionally, the Money Turtle had the ability to use money to command divine skills and even to enslave Ghost Items with coins!

Qin Feng felt that if the Spirit Turtle acquired the innate abilities of the Money Turtle, perhaps it could make a connection by analogy and further strengthen its innate prediction talent.

After settling the Spirit Turtle, Qin Feng turned his consciousness to the fifth floor.

There was no choice; the third and fourth floors housed the White Dragon and the Death Curse Crow, respectively. With no suitable resources for them, he had to bypass them for now.

Subsequently, the Undying Qingluan, the Hellhound, and the Ghost-Faced Spider, these three Spiritual Beasts, all fell into a deep slumber under the fusion through the Demon Refining Pot.

Once awake, they would each possess new divine skills and have acquired the respective Talent Skills of Demon Beasts.

Meanwhile, the Demon Refining Pot would also leave the laws of these Demon Beasts in the Spiritual Beasts, and once they comprehended these laws, their strength would surge, with the path to longevity just around the corner!

The only thing that pained him was that these Spiritual Beasts were all at the Primordial Spirit Realm, and integrating bloodline power inherently required a significant amount of spiritual power. Helping them merge bloodlines from the Demon Immortal Realm consumed an even greater amount of Spiritual Energy.

Although supported by a Top-Level Spirit Vein, the various spaces were somewhat empty for a time, with a thinner concentration of Spiritual Energy, far from what it used to be.

It seems that at the very least, they would need to wait some fifteen-odd days after the successful integration for the density of Spiritual Energy to possibly return to its former levels.

After feeling the consumption of the Spirit Veins on each floor, Qin Feng shook his head.

He feared that when they prepared to make a breakthrough and become immortals, proving their path to longevity, Spiritual Energy would deplete once more.

After settling all his Spiritual Beasts, Qin Feng opened his eyes and turned to his senior sister.

Li Miao Zhen was meditating cross-legged beside him!

Her skin was as white and luminous as jade, her breath was as fragrant as orchids, and her figure had graceful curves. In Qin Feng's eyes, she was much more beautiful than any mermaid!
