Chapter 18: The Battle of Prodigy

“Aaaaaaah!”

With a “bang!”, the spirit bean exploded in the Black Bear Monster’s mouth, and as black smoke billowed from its mouth and nose, its mentality completely collapsed.

“Ahhh!”

It glared angrily at Elder, Lin Jing, and the stunned Pine Leaf Rat.

this……

Lin Jing and Pine Leaf Rat were utterly horrified. How could such tempting spirit beans explode upon entering their mouths?

Thank goodness I didn’t eat it myself!

“I knew it! I always felt there was something strange about the Spiritual Qi fluctuations of that Spirit Bean; it actually turned into a ‘ Fierce Plant ‘!” Elder exclaimed. Spiritual Plants are rich in nutrients, while Fierce Plants are not only poor in nutrients but also extremely dangerous.

The exploding beans are clearly Fierce Plants…

” I ‘m so angry! It looks like Fierce Plant and they still want me to eat it!!!” Black Bear Monster roared.

“A spirit bean created by a Pine Leaf Rat in the Qi Refining stage, what are you, a Yao Beast with a formed demon core, afraid of? The fact that you couldn’t detect it only shows that your vigilance is inadequate!” Elder snorted.

Black Bear Monster grinded his teeth, yet was powerless to refute, feeling that he was still too naive.

“Alright, you can go back to sleep now.” Ignoring his Pet Beast, Elder recalled the Black Bear Monster and looked at Lin Jing and Pine Leaf Rat with a look of wonder.

“It’s not about improving quality, but changing its nature. Not bad, not bad. Although it’s not a top-tier Divine Ability, it’s just as good!”

” Isn’t Glazed Immortal Eyes considered top-tier Divine Ability?” Lin Jing thought this Glazed Immortal Eyes was already quite impressive.

“You underestimate the Precious Beast,” Elder chuckled. Dao: ” The Divine Ability that awakens the Spirit Beast into the Precious Beast is likely a legacy from the Immortal Realm.” Compared to Immortal, there are many far more powerful Rare Beast Divine Powers.

“Like that ancient royal family, there was a Precious Beast ‘ Realm-Breaking Bird ‘ that could help Cultivators break through the Realm limit. Under its blessing, the royal family had a Crown Prince Gu with extraordinary talent. He not only reached the unprecedented ‘ Qi Training Stage Thirteenth Layer ‘ in the Qi Training Stage, but also cultivated the’Second and Third Physique ‘ in the Foundation Establishment Stage. One person possesses three special cultivation physiques.”

“There is also a Precious Beast called ‘ Enlightenment Fish ‘ in the Lingdao Sect. The reason why so many Cultivators in the Lingdao Sect can cultivate ‘ Spell Spirit ‘ is largely due to the Enlightenment Fish.”

“Besides that, Tianji Tower … Lotus Merchant Guild…” Elder listed many Precious Beasts he knew, all of which were held by top powers.

Of course, some Precious Beasts are incredibly powerful, while others are quite ordinary. According to Elder Mo, there are also Precious Beasts that have awakened some peculiar Divine Abilities, which are recorded in ancient books. For example, there was a rabbit spirit that awakened the Divine Ability of Passion Fruit, which could emit more than a hundred kinds of divine fragrances. As a result, it was captured and eaten by an old monster of Soul Transformation not long after. It was cooked in many ways and was known as Passion Fruit Rabbit, which is considered the most precious delicacy of all time.

“In short, those Heaven-Defying Precious Beasts, possessing the Divine Ability, are capable of influencing Advanced beings even when they are weak.” Cultivator, in comparison, its Spirit Bean and Red Flying Leaf are still within the ‘ Qi- level’ category, but even so, it’s not bad; one shouldn’t be too greedy. — Elder Dao.

“Yes.” Lin Jing chuckled. Dao: ” Elder Mo, could we sell the resources it synthesizes within the sect and earn some Spirit Stones?”

As he spoke, he began to describe the benefits of golden spiritual rice.

After listening, Elder shook his head: “I don’t recommend you do that. The golden spiritual rice you mentioned, although magical compared to ordinary spiritual rice, is not without alternatives.”

“Like the first and second grade Medicinal Pills… all contain Medicinal Pills that aid digestion, Beast Taming Sect” Disciple can be purchased using Sect contribution points. Besides that, while the exploding Spirit Bean is more deceptive, it can essentially be replaced by attacking Talisman.

“It uses Glazed Immortal Eyes, which must consume a lot of resources. Rather than selling them, I suggest you keep the synthesized resources for your own use! This way, you save the process of exchanging resources from the Sect and indirectly earn Spirit Stones.”

“Focusing your energy on earning Spirit Stones will inevitably affect your focus as Cultivate members. Don’t worry, starting immediately, I will improve your Disciple status again and won’t let you worry too much about resources.”

“Thank you, Elder.” Lin Jing was the type to listen to advice.

“You should just focus on improving your cultivation.” – Elder Dao: “Besides, you are a Chang Sheng Body, so there’s no need to be too impatient. In this process, learning more and reading more books will be more beneficial for your future adventures in the Immortal Cultivation World.”

Lin Jing nodded, then suddenly remembered something and asked Dao, ” Elder Mo, didn’t you go on this trip to investigate the Yin Corpse Sect? What was the result?”

“No results.” – Elder Dao: “However, the Yin Corpse Sect probably won’t have time to pay attention to you for the time being.”

“I learned from a friend who works in the Demon Subduing Division that the Tian Yuan Grand Meet is approaching, and various sectors… ” With the Prodigy out training, the Demon Subduing Division and other top-tier Sects will intensify their attacks on the Yin Corpse Sect; they’re too busy hiding to even think about it.

“Oh, by the way, do you know about Tian Yuan Grand Meet?”

“I don’t know…” Lin Jing shook her head.

” Tian Yuan Grand Meet ” is a grand event of the Tian Yuan Ancient Kingdom, held once every sixty years. At that time, the Ancient Kingdom… The cultivation sects and families of the Nine Regions will all participate, and the Ancient Emperor will also be present in person.

“During the grand event, the Prodigies of various cultivation Sects will be arranged to engage in magical duels. Those who demonstrate outstanding strength will gain the favor of Qi Luck True Dragon and increase the Sect’s… ” Luck.

” The Sect Master has been absent from the sect recently because he led several True Disciple members to the Ancient Domain for training in preparation for the Tian Yuan Grand Meet a year from now.”

“Of course, in such grand events, our Beast Taming Sect has always been a supporting player, while top-tier immortal sects like the Lingdao Sect and Heaven Sword Gate are the main characters. But even so… we must compete! If we don’t compete, why cultivate immortality?”

Elder​ Dao: “When I was young, I also participated in Tian Yuan Grand Meet. Unfortunately, compared to those real prodigies, my performance was really mediocre, and I could only be a supporting role. At that time, I made a grand vow that one day, I would make the name of my Beast Taming Sect resound throughout Tian Yuan!”

“In my old age, I knew that with my own talent, it would be difficult to achieve this goal. So, after losing hope of reaching the Nascent Soul stage, I stepped back from the front lines and began to nurture Discord, hoping to cultivate more outstanding successors for the Sect.”

Are you curious why Pine Leaf Rat mutated and became the Precious Beast?

“When you joined the sect, I didn’t tell you that all those who practice special cultivation techniques (Physique) would form a Bloodline with Pet Beast.” There is a tiny chance that a contract might mutate!

“Because of this intelligence, I requested a large amount of resources from the Sect Master to specifically search for those with special cultivars. ” Physique’s seedlings were dug into the Beast Taming Sect, but unfortunately, from elemental spirits to Yuanyang bodies like Ouyang Hao, none of the six special Physique practitioners could cause the Pet Beast to mutate!

“And you… Chang Sheng Body, and Pine Leaf Rat, are the first and only Disciple I’ve discovered that finally caused the Pet Beast to mutate!” Elder laughed heartily. “Now, when the Sect Master returns, I’ll finally have something to say.”

“This year’s Tian Yuan Grand Meet might not be good, but next year, even if you Chang Sheng Body…” Cultivation is slow, but with the help of the Precious Beast, you will surely be one of the protagonists, vying with those immortal prodigies and upholding the might of our Beast Taming Sect.

“Right now… isn’t the Ascension Dragon Festival coming soon? I see that Pine Leaf Rat’s Red Flying Leaf is quite extraordinary. You should give it your all at the Ascension Dragon Festival and showcase your talents as much as possible. Sects have their rules, and only in this way will the Sect treat you as the future of the Beast Taming Sect and dedicate all its efforts to nurturing you.”

“Don’t bother trying to squeeze money out of the Sect missions. If you can win the Ascension Dragon Festival, you’ll get resources and Storage Pouches.”
