Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 384 Strange Fate
"Hey."

As soon as they returned to Shuiyan Residence, the seven-tailed purple fox let out a soft whimper.

Chen Beiwu looked down and saw the little guy smacking his lips, as if he was hungry. He quickly took out a small milk bottle from his storage ring.

Of the four pets, the seven-tailed purple fox is the pickiest eater.

The golden egg possesses the profound knowledge of the Three-Phase Furnace, and is not picky about food or drink. It can eat anything, including not only spiritual herbs and plants, but also spiritual ores and stones, making it easy to raise.

Chen Beiwu even suspected that even without feeding the treasure beast's flesh and blood or elixirs, the golden egg could develop steadily just by eating dirt.

Tie Dan is second only. He doesn't eat vegetarian food, only meat. Occasionally, he devours some of the essence of strange fire from heaven and earth to stimulate his bloodline. He accepts the flesh and blood of demon generals of the third realm and some spiritual pills without hesitation.

The Five Qi Vine is a bit picky about food, but it's the one that Chen Beiwu can worry about the least.

The reason is simple: although Five Qi Vine likes a complete set of spiritual plants with both meat and vegetables, it always prepares them itself.

He would dig up some medicinal herbs and branches and mix them with the bones of demon generals, or he would seek out Tie Dan to get some waste pills and dregs for recycling, thus creating soil rich in spiritual energy.

These soils can be used to fertilize the Five Qi Yuan Forest, while simultaneously stimulating the Five Qi Vine's cultivation, practice, and bloodline.

Therefore, Chen Beiwu never thought that cultivating the same beast was a troublesome thing, until the noble-born seven-tailed purple fox broadened his horizons.

The little guy has extremely picky tastes. He won't eat raw meat or drink spiritual water. Apart from some precious pills and elixirs, he only eats fourth-order Xuan milk and Xuan liquid, which are hard to come by with spirit stones.

If the little one hadn't brought her own baby bottle, Chen Beiwu really wouldn't have been able to afford to raise this little princess.

"Gulu gulu."

After happily finishing her milk, the seven-tailed purple fox looked up and saw three curious golden eggs.

"Does it taste good?"

The three golden egg heads approached the seven-tailed purple fox, their eyes filled with craving.

It wasn't hungry; it was just curious about the taste.

"Hey."

The seven-tailed purple fox hesitated for a moment, then stretched out its front paw and took out a small water bottle the size of a palm from its personal space.

The Queen Mother's black milk was too precious. It was fine to share it with Chen Beiwu, but it was a little hard to share it with the other friends.

However, giving away some fourth-tier Xuan liquid would not be a problem at all; it has plenty of it.

"Thank you."

Without any hesitation, the golden egg raised its head and gulped down the entire bottle of fourth-grade mystic liquid.

Upon seeing this, the seven-tailed purple fox widened its heterochromatic eyes and looked at the golden egg in disbelief.

Good heavens, it only dares to drink one or two drops of fourth-order Xuan liquid at a time, otherwise it will panic. But the other party just gulped it down in one go, not afraid of getting into trouble.

"hey-hey."

Seeing the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox's reaction, Golden Egg realized that he had accidentally finished all the baby's food and handed the bottle back with a silly grin.

"Hey."

The seven-tailed purple fox looked at the saliva on the bottle's mouth, shook its head, and decided to give the water bottle made of special material to the golden egg as well.

"So polite?"

Golden Egg's eyes lit up; the more he looked at the seven-tailed purple fox, the more pleasing it became to the eye.

He then threw the water bottle into his mouth and chewed it up in one go with a "crunch crunch".

"Na."

The Five Qi Vine beside him nodded slightly, thinking it would be nice to have another companion.

"Wang."

Tie Dan glanced up at Chen Beiwu.

It knew what Chen Beiwu was worried about, but sometimes worrying too much can lead to suffocating oneself.

Putting everything else aside, if the master directly contracts with the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox and obtains its three meridians' blessing, the progress of comprehending the Qiongqi Crossing the Other Shore Stele should increase dramatically.

But as I said before, it will unconditionally support whatever choice its owner makes.

"Azhi, if I tell you a secret, will you keep it for me?"

Chen Beiwu reached out and gently stroked the neck fur of the seven-tailed purple fox, finding it smooth and soft, even more so than a young girl's skin.

"Eek?" (Can't I tell my father and mother?)
The seven-tailed purple fox raised its head and blinked its round eyes.

“Yes, it’s a secret that no one can tell.” Chen Beiwu nodded solemnly.

"Eek?" (Would that be harmful to Father and Mother?)

Chen Beiwu shook his head.

The little guy tilted his head, and seven fluffy tails behind him gently brushed against Chen Beiwu's arm.

"Eek." (Then I won't tell anyone.)
The little guy's tone was sweet and innocent, yet it conveyed an undeniable firmness.

Upon hearing this answer, Chen Beiwu felt a strange sense of certainty.

The Seven-Tailed Purple Fox clan is of noble blood and proud by nature. They have always disdained lying and betrayal. Once they encounter a suitable contracted cultivator and make a promise, they will always keep their word.

Conversely, if they are not recognized, even if they are powerful, the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox will rather die than submit.

In some respects, the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox is more trustworthy than the Golden Egg, who was afraid of death and had not yet evolved.

But what Chen Beiwu was always wary of was not that the little guy didn't keep a secret, but that the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox wanted to keep it a secret, but because of her young age and immature mind, she was seen through by the Purple Yao Demon King.

With this in mind, Chen Beiwu decided to observe the little guy for a while longer.

The seven-tailed purple fox raised its eyes slightly, looking curiously at Chen Beiwu's profile.

It's not stupid.

Whether it's the previous exchange between Chen Beiwu and his mother, or the current question, it all indicates that there are some secrets about Chen Beiwu, but that's normal.

After all, those who can cultivate the Primordial Golden Core and dominate the younger generation of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect must have secrets, only the extent of those secrets varies.

But the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox was completely unconcerned about Chen Beiwu's probing.

The reason is simple: through its Mind's Eye talent, it can see Chen Beiwu's purity.

Furthermore, time will tell, and it believed that sooner or later it would gain Chen Beiwu's complete trust.

"Buzz!"

Just then, my phone vibrated.

Chen Beiwu activated his divine sense to connect, and his senior brother's voice immediately rang out.

"Junior Brother, the Sect Leader has personally intervened, and the matter is more or less over."

"Xiao Yu, the True Lord of Breaking the Law, has been stripped of his title in the Jade Purity Golden Book for failing to properly discipline his subordinates and violating sect rules."

Yue Chenfeng chuckled and said, "It seems that the sect leader is truly enraged this time. For the sake of the sect's laws and dignity, he is willing to personally punish his personal disciples."

It is important to understand that the Jade Purity Golden Book has extremely high symbolic significance. It represents the sect's high-level recognition of outstanding cultivators and the allocation of resources to them. It is also the proof and guarantee for outstanding cultivators of the sect to reach the Nascent Soul True Venerable realm.

Xiao Yu's name being removed from the list means that the sect will no longer provide him with cultivation resources to help him reach the Nascent Soul stage.

For a self-proclaimed genius like Xiao Yu, this punishment was undoubtedly severe!
Even though Yue Chenfeng was resentful, believing that the second generation of the sect was too rampant, he felt that the sect had acted fairly after learning this news.

However, when Yue Chenfeng looked at his phone screen, he found that his junior brother was calm and showed no joy on his face.

"Junior brother, are you dissatisfied with the sect's punishment?" Yue Chenfeng raised an eyebrow, quite surprised.

In his view, Xiao Yu had already suffered a great loss, and the Changqing lineage had no reason to continue to hold on to him.

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied, it's just that I feel the sect's punishment is too lenient." Chen Beiwu shook his head slightly.

He was punched for no reason, so he just slapped the other person back. Is that fair?

No, that's not fair.

Because the sect leader intervened, Xiao Yu's backup plan has not yet been launched. So far, Chen Beiwu has not suffered much loss on the surface, but that does not mean that the other party will not take advantage of the situation to kill him after the plan is successful.

To put it bluntly, in Chen Beiwu's view, Xiao Yu only lost something that was difficult to obtain in the first place, while he himself had a real chance of being listed in the Golden Book and, with the help of the Changqing lineage, ascending to the position of sect leader.

That's it? Are you kidding me? If this is how it ends, another sect's second-generation leader might do the same thing in the future.

"The punishment is too lenient?"

Yue Chenfeng was slightly taken aback and asked, "Then what do you think would be appropriate, Junior Brother?"

“Senior Brother, since Xiao Yu set up the scheme first, when to stop this scheme is not up to him, but rather it is up to Junior Brother.”

Chen Beiwu calmly said, "Unless Xiao Yu is willing to kneel down and apologize in public, then it would be reasonable."

Yue Chenfeng: "..."

Goodness, junior brother is so petty.

Making a proud and arrogant second-generation sect leader like Xiao Yu kneel in public is worse than simply killing him.

This is simply impossible. Even if the sect leader intervened, or even if Xiao Yu's own father intervened, it would be impossible to achieve this punishment.

"Junior brother, you should know that your request is simply impossible."

Yue Chenfeng exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling a bit of a headache.

If his master hadn't been in seclusion and unable to spare any attention, he would have really wanted to hand over this mess to his master to deal with.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother."

Chen Beiwu spoke casually, changing the subject: "When can we meet with Xiao Yu?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Chenfeng fell silent, looking at Chen Beiwu with a strange expression.

It seems that Junior Brother's previous remarks were not false; he genuinely intended to kill Xiao Yu in public.

With such confidence, it's no wonder that Junior Brother was able to forge the Primordial Golden Core and cultivate the "Secret Record of Purple Mansion Opening Heaven and Transforming Infant," which even he dared not touch.

"Very well, you have your own ideas. I'll talk to the sect leader."

Yue Chenfeng sighed softly and hung up the phone.

Chen Beiwu smiled as he watched the phone screen gradually go dark.

Choosing to become a disciple of my master was truly the right decision.

If it were some extremely irresponsible and profit-driven sect, let alone standing up for him, it would be difficult for them not to betray him.

……

On the other side, Yuqing Peak.

Yuqing Palace.

"Did he really say that?"

The Jade Purity Sect Leader gently tapped the armrest of the cloud throne with his fingertips.

“Junior Brother Bei Wu is indeed a bit impetuous due to his youth, and I hope the Sect Leader will forgive him.” Yue Chenfeng lowered his head slightly.

Even he felt that, given that Xiao Yu had already been punished by the sect, his junior brother's insistence on not giving up was indeed quite stubborn.

It could even be described as a lack of tact and discretion, which might displease the sect leader.

"If you're not young and impetuous, can you still call yourself a young person?" Sect Leader Yuqing said meaningfully.

"Since that's the case, then let him be. I want to see just how far he can go."

After saying this, the Jade Purity Sect Leader said no more and waved his hand.

Yue Chenfeng understood, bowed respectfully, and withdrew.

Only the Jade Purity Sect Leader remained in the spacious and luxurious hall.

"Trying to use Xiao Yu as a whetstone? These young people nowadays are really arrogant. Aren't they afraid of getting their blades chipped by the stone?"

The Jade Purity Sect Leader muttered to himself, a smile appearing on his face.

Among the four great Dao Venerable Immortal Clans of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, the Tianyuan Xiao family is undoubtedly the most prominent in terms of the prestige and flamboyance of its cultivators.

If Chen Beiwu could use the influence of Daoist Guangcheng to teach the Tianyuan Xiao family a lesson, that would be a good idea.

"The Secret Record of Opening the Heavens and Transforming into Nascent Soul in the Purple Mansion is the supreme method of Jade Purity. If Chen Beiwu can truly master it, he may be able to suppress Xiao Yu with his early Nascent Soul cultivation."

The Jade Purity Sect Leader shook his head and slowly closed his eyes.

……

Jade Purity Immortal Sect, Feather Immortal Pavilion.

"Get out of here, everyone!"

As soon as Xiao Yu finished speaking, his two personal maids turned pale and hurriedly withdrew.

"call."

Xiao Yu exhaled a breath of stale air, forcibly suppressing the killing intent in his heart.

Although he didn't know what the problem was, judging from his father's reaction yesterday, Chen Beiwu should not only have the Dongming Changqing lineage behind him, but also a powerful figure that the Xiao family needs to be wary of.

Next, as his father said, he only had two paths to take.

They either have to bow down and gain Chen Beiwu's forgiveness, or they have to suppress Chen Beiwu fairly and squarely within the sect's rules, proving their potential to the Yuqing Sect and the family behind them.

As for the third option, choosing to risk everything and completely eliminate Chen Beiwu, that is no longer realistic.

Even if Chen Beiwu were foolish enough to agree to his invitation to the life-or-death arena, the sect's higher-ups would not allow a situation to arise where a Nascent Soul True Monarch faces off against a Golden Core True Person.

"Young Master, Yue Chenfeng has come to pay a visit with his men."

A maidservant said timidly.

"Yue Chenfeng? What's he doing here!"

Xiao Yu's eyes turned slightly cold as he activated his divine sense to probe outside the Feather Immortal Pavilion.

He then straightened his chest, revealed a handsome smile, and strode towards the door.

"Junior brother, remember to maintain a friendly facade and don't be too arrogant," Yue Chenfeng reminded him with his divine sense.

According to the sect's rules, Golden Core disciples must take the initiative to pay their respects when they see a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Moreover, Xiao Yu is a mid-stage Nascent Soul True Monarch who once served as the chief of the Immortal Sect and held a prestigious position within the sect.

If the junior brother says anything inappropriate, Xiao Yu can punish him on the grounds of disrespecting the True Lord.

"Senior brother, you are wise. I have always been kind to others and dislike fighting and killing."

Chen Beiwu replied telepathically, believing that his senior brother had misunderstood him too much.

Upon hearing this, Yue Chenfeng's eyes twitched slightly, his expression rather speechless.

Anyone who believes that is a fool.

Chen Beiwu had no time to pay attention to his senior brother's reaction; his gaze subconsciously fell on the handsome cultivator who walked out of the gate.

'Wow, what level of luck is this?'

Chen Beiwu's pupils contracted slightly as he saw a rather peculiar aura of fortune.

The newcomer was surrounded by auspicious red dragon energy, one-third of the dragon's body turned into a hazy purple aura, but two-thirds of the dragon's body was scarlet like blood, almost black.

This kind of reddish-black aura, though seemingly surging and powerful, is not good fortune, but rather represents ominous disaster and misfortune, reaching the level of dark clouds covering the sky.

But what shocked Chen Beiwu even more than these things was that, within the incredibly dense and harmonious dark clouds, he could vaguely hear the wails and roars of countless vengeful spirits.

Without a doubt, this extraordinary phenomenon was completely different from any auspicious signs that Chen Beiwu had ever seen before.

'How many cultivators' lives would a curse of vengeful spirits of this scale need to consume? Ten thousand, or a hundred thousand?'

With this thought in mind, Chen Beiwu quickly averted his gaze and inquired about Tie Dan.

'Woof! '

Tie Dan looked up at Xiao Yu and activated the Karmic Fire Listening to Sin Profound Power, but he couldn't see any sinful power. It was as if the other party was a kind person who was untouched by bloodshed.
