Cultivating Immortality in a Family: I Prove Immortality Through the Chaotic Dao Realm

Chapter 74 Yunyi Leaves the Valley, the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm!
Through diligent practice, Chen Qian not only drew many more fireball talismans, wind blade talismans, lightness talismans, and wind shield talismans, but also successfully created golden needle talismans and vine entanglement talismans. Of course, their quality was only average, just low-grade first-level talismans.

Talismans are indeed of unparalleled importance in magical combat, as they can be cast faster than spells and consume less energy.

Storing more of these talismans is extremely worthwhile, whether for personal safety or as a reserve resource.

These items are easy to sell, and you can exchange them for spirit stones whenever you run out.

Chen Yunyi was not surprised by Chen Qian's visit. She knew that she would definitely need Chen Qian to eliminate some of the ice evil before she left.

Just like before, the two of them enjoyed tea and conversation in Qingwei Hall. It seemed that the scene at the foot of Bijia Mountain had long since disappeared, and their relationship remained unchanged.

Chen Yunyi breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried that Chen Qian would flirt with her recklessly, and she was unsure how to deal with it.

That's good; she really wasn't ready to become one of Chen Qian's wives.

As for when she will be ready, she naturally doesn't know the answer; she'll leave it all to the future.

All she knew was that she didn't dislike this development; in fact, she was even somewhat looking forward to it.

That's enough.

After asking Chen Yunyi many questions about talismans and formations, Chen Qian once again used the Qi-forging technique to clear the icy Qi from Chen Yunyi's body.

Now, not only has his realm increased, but his body refinement cultivation has also advanced, making the effects of this cleansing even more obvious.

It absorbed nearly 20% of the ice energy from Chen Yunyi's body.

This is enough to ensure that Chen Yunyi will not be troubled by the Ice Fiend for a considerable period of time, and will not affect her continued progress in her Qi Refining Ninth Level cultivation.

Before leaving the family mansion, Chen Qian also handed over the jade slip containing the "Harmony with Light and Dust" technique to Chen Yunyi, urging her to master this secret art as soon as possible.

Once you have fully comprehended it, you can simply destroy the jade slip containing the record.

The next day, Chen Yunyi left Fenglin Valley quietly without telling anyone.

This is very much in line with her usual style of doing things.

Chen Yunxi was still a little disappointed after learning about it, and surprisingly joked with Chen Qian, encouraging him to bravely pursue his sister and win her over, saying she would be happy to see it happen.

Chen Qian was genuinely surprised; he hadn't expected that Yunxi's younger sister would overcome that hurdle in her heart so much more easily than her older sister.

He knew that the truth was often hidden in jokes.

Lakeview Residence.

In the study room.

Chen Qian was holding a roll of animal hide paper in his hand, examining it closely.

This was obtained by Chen Qian from the storage bag of the ninth-level cultivator from the Lu family whom he had killed during the Battle of Bijia Mountain.

In that battle, Chen Qian killed five Lu family cultivators and seriously injured one.

However, they only managed to find three storage bags; the rest were taken back by the Lu family members who were cleaning up the battlefield after the ceasefire.

There wasn't anything particularly valuable among them, since they were all cultivators in the Qi Refining stage. Most of their resources were used for cultivation, and what they carried were nothing more than spirit stones, pills, talismans, and magic tools.

Chen Qian kept some of the finest items and disposed of the rest to the Hundred Storage Pavilion.

This allowed him to make a small fortune, and his reserves of pills and talismans also increased considerably.

Now he has tens of thousands of family contribution points, four or five thousand spirit stones, plus a considerable number of various magical artifacts, pills and talismans, making him a wealthy person in the Qi Refining stage.

This scroll of parchment contains a map of a secret realm.

This secret realm is called the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm, a name that carries the typical naming style of the Beast Taming Sect.

Indeed, this is the case. This secret realm is controlled by the Beast Taming Sect and is a secret realm that can only accommodate cultivators in the Qi Refining stage.

The secret realm is home to a large number of ancient demon beast clans. Due to the restrictions of the secret realm's survival rules, although these ancient demon beast clans have extraordinary bloodlines, they are unable to break through to the second tier.

The Beast Taming Sect opens its secret realm once every twenty years, allowing a large number of Qi Refining stage cultivators to enter and capture demonic beasts. The sect rewards cultivators based on the quantity and type of demonic beasts they submit. The next opening is approaching, in less than a year.

Chen Qian wasn't entirely sure, but he was very interested.

Because this secret realm is very different from the outside world in terms of both environment and species.

That would naturally allow us to acquire more new things to promote the growth of the Gray Pearl world.

Moreover, with his strength restricted to below the Foundation Establishment stage, Chen Qian was not worried about his safety at all.

He was equally interested in these extraordinary and powerful demonic beasts.

Because he can use the Gray Pearl World to further develop the potential of these monsters, given time, he can cultivate a powerful army of monsters.

Although these secret realms are not of a high level, they cover a vast area. Various cultivation families gather intelligence on these realms, compile and organize various information, and pass it down from generation to generation.

The map of the secret realm recorded on this animal hide was not the original document compiled by the Lu family, but rather a summary and record made by this cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

The information is even more detailed than the original version from the Lu family.

So today, Chen Qian went to the second floor of the family's scripture pavilion. In addition to exchanging contribution points for a lot of secret techniques, cultivation experience and immortal cultivation skills that he needed, he also specifically found the Chen family's records about the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm.

Comparing the two now, we have indeed gained some insights. While there is some overlap in the information, there are also many parts that complement each other.

If Chen Qian lacks contribution points, reporting this information to the family should also earn him a considerable reward.

In the storage bag of this ninth-level cultivator from the Lu family, there was also a first-grade high-quality puppet.

The proportion of Qi Refining cultivators who use puppets is relatively small, especially among the families under the Beast Taming Sect.

One reason is that the Beast Taming Sect sells many powerful spirit beasts, and the families under its jurisdiction have some inheritance in beast taming.

For example, the Chen family is skilled at breeding Azure Scale Horses and Rending Wind Larks; while the Lu family is skilled at breeding Earthshaking Bears and Iron Feather Cranes.

Therefore, raising one or two spirit beasts for self-defense is more in line with the needs of these family cultivators, and the cost is also lower.

Another issue is that first-tier puppets lack sufficient spirituality, requiring all actions to be directed by the cultivator's divine sense, thus consuming a significant amount of divine sense.

For example, in the late stage of Qi Refining, it is not a problem for a person to simultaneously command three high-grade magic weapons with their divine sense, and they can unleash the full power of the magic weapons.

However, if a first-tier high-grade puppet is added, then at most one more high-grade magic weapon can be controlled.

For those in the late stage of Qi Refining with weaker spiritual sense, this would actually reduce their strength.

However, this was not a problem for Chen Qian. His spiritual sense far surpassed that of others of the same level, and at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, it was even more than ten times stronger.

It is estimated that this multiplier will continue to decrease as the cultivation level increases.

However, even with his current Qi Refining Level 4 spiritual strength, he has already surpassed the peak of ordinary Qi Refining.

Therefore, commanding an additional Tier 1 high-grade puppet will only enhance his strength without any pressure.

His current spiritual sense is sufficient to command three top-tier first-order puppets with ease.

He also experimented with controlling the number of magical artifact puppets.

When controlling five items simultaneously, it doesn't feel like a big problem. But once it exceeds five, for example, controlling six magical artifacts, one of them will become very sluggish and difficult to manipulate flexibly.

This is not because his spiritual strength is insufficient, but because he cannot perfectly achieve the ability to multitask.

His current limit is the ability to perfectly control five things at once.

As far as he knew, there were spiritual cultivation techniques that could not only increase spiritual awareness, but also train the ability to multitask.

But the Chen family did not.

He wanted to use the Gray Pearl World for creation, but the Gray Pearl World fed back too many rules related to the cultivator's divine sense, and with his current accumulation, he was not yet able to create anything.

We can only wait and see if we can get the relevant opportunity in the future.
