Chapter 114: Chapter 112: Lifebound Spiritual Beast and Future Path
Liang City was constantly frequented by cultivators from other regions; therefore, the city gates remained open even at night, to facilitate the entry and exit of cultivators.
Otherwise, letting these cultivators fly in and out every day would create even more hidden dangers.
Qin Feng entered the city, found an inn directly, booked a top room, ordered heaps of food, ate and drank his fill, and took a hot bath, feeling refreshed and rejuvenated both in body and spirit.
Originally, the magic robe he wore had a dust-repelling effect. However, after being torn several tis, its prohibitions were no longer systematic, naturally resulting in the loss of its dust-repelling capabilities.
Add to that the fact he had been trapped in the Void Shattering Hamr Cave Mansion for over a month, where he spent each day either expending True Essence to refine the Township Stone Tablet or ditating to restore True Essence, looking unkempt all day. When he first erged, he was dirty and disheveled, resembling a beggar. After grooming himself, he obviously felt much more comfortable.
That night he did not practice cultivation and instead went straight to bed and fell asleep.
...
Not until the next day, when the sun was already high, did Qin Feng wake up from his deep sleep.
He shook his sowhat groggy head and got up to wear that sowhat tattered magic robe.
Although the robe was damaged, it bore the emblem of the Beast Taming Sect, representing his identity as a disciple of the sect; it helped him avoid many unnecessary troubles while traveling. Therefore, Qin Feng didn’t change into other clothes.
First, he had a sumptuous breakfast in the inn’s main hall, and then he went to several shops in the city to buy various supplies.
In this land of chaos, it’s better to shop frugally and visit several stores separately rather than buying everything in one go.
Otherwise, if observed by so cultivators with ill intentions, one might be secretly followed, and upon leaving the city, an ambush could occur.
Both his father and the old family master had taught him these experiences, so Qin Feng wouldn’t make such low-level mistakes. He wouldn’t buy everything he needed from one shop just for the sake of convenience.
Additionally, with his robe in tatters, there really weren’t many people who would pay attention to him.
His series of injuries had nearly depleted his supply of dicines, so he needed to buy so elixir pills in Liang City to heal his wounds.
Furthermore, his flying mount, the Spiritual Vulture, had lost too much essence blood and needed so restorative elixir pills and spiritual objects to recover as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the distance back to the sect was too far. It had taken over ten days of flight on the Spiritual Vulture to get here; without it, it would take him months to return.
Therefore, he needed to stay in Liang City for a while, not only to replenish the essence blood of the Spiritual Vulture but also to take this ti to refine the Ruyi Golden Snake into his lifebound spiritual beast.
After Qin Feng finished buying his supplies, he returned to the inn and instructed the staff not to disturb him unless he called for them. Then he began his closed-door cultivation in his room.
This inn catered exclusively to cultivators, each room protected by its own prohibition. Although not particularly strong, once activated, it could ensure quiet and freedom from disruptions.
The state of his injuries wasn’t too concerning. The wounds he sustained from the Taiyin Mountain Sword Cultivators in the Void Shattering Hamr Cave Mansion had already healed completely. Currently, his primary concern was the injuries inflicted by the chanical Magical Device, the Thirty Cold Stars.
Though those tiny Armor-Breaking Cones nearly pierced through his body, they had avoided his vital points and were not considered severe. A few days’ rest should suffice, so he focused most of his energy on refining the Ruyi Golden Snake.
When other Beast Taming Sect disciples refined their lifebound spiritual beasts, it usually took several months to fully refine them, reaching the point where their essences resonated with each other.
The reason it took so long was primarily that the lifebound spiritual beasts they subdued would resist, innately rejecting such refining, which resulted in most Beast Taming Sect disciples encountering slow progress in their refinent.
But Qin Feng was different; with the Demon Refining Pot in hand, the Ruyi Golden Snake had no possibility of resisting after being subdued by the pot, so his refining process was very smooth.
Once the refining was successful, Qin Feng only needed to cultivate daily with the Ruyi Golden Snake, absorbing and exhaling Spiritual Energy together, purifying the Demon Energy within it, and gradually transforming the nature of its power, achieving a unity of auras and a lding of True Essence Power of water and fire. Then he could slowly attempt the Sect’s secret technique of rging with his Lifebound Spiritual Beast.
In the Beast Taming Sect, aside from a few talented disciples, more than ninety-nine percent of the disciples only reached this step after advancing to the Foundation Establishnt Realm.
This was because the True Yuan within ordinary disciples wasn’t pure and robust enough; they couldn’t thoroughly cleanse the Demon Energy within their Lifebound Spiritual Beast, making it difficult to perfectly transform its power.
Only after reaching the Foundation Establishnt Realm, when the cultivator’s True Yuan was sufficiently robust, could they achieve this step.
However, advancing to Foundation Establishnt was not easy, otherwise the Beast Taming Sect wouldn’t have so many Outer Qi Refining Disciples.
And those talented disciples who could rge with their Lifebound Spiritual Beasts in the Qi Refining Realm not only had a much higher success rate in Foundation Establishnt compared to ordinary disciples, but they could even allow their Lifebound Spiritual Beasts to advance to Foundation Establishnt first. Then, using their beasts to assist their own cultivation and advancent, their cultivation speed could also be quicker.
In fact, many Beast Taming Sect cultivators, when facing great bottlenecks during advancent and feeling that success was unlikely, would choose to first help their Lifebound Spiritual Beast to advance, and then let the beast nourish them in return to increase their chances of a successful advancent.
This was a shortcut, but it was a very practical thod; many disciples who had originally lost hope of advancing were able to take another step in their cultivation because of this technique.
Even among the countless years of the Beast Taming Sect’s inheritance, there were several ancestors of the Immortal Dao who had achieved longevity by using this thod.
Qin Feng felt that with the purity of his True Yuan, he should be able to thoroughly cleanse his Lifebound Spiritual Beast of its Demon Energy even in the Qi Refining Realm.
Moreover, the compatibility of the “Ten Thousand Beasts Origin Scripture,” passed down by the patriarchs, was extrely strong. No matter which power system the Lifebound Spiritual Beast’s power belonged to, the Origin Scripture could accommodate it until he entered the Inner Sect, where he could then select a suitable Technique from the True Inheritance Skills for his Cultivation.
If there wasn’t one, he could even create his own unique Cultivation thod based on the “Ten Thousand Beasts Origin Scripture”; such occurrences were not uncommon in the history of the Beast Taming Sect, otherwise there wouldn’t be as many Cultivation Technique inheritances and the Outer Sect wouldn’t have as many as one hundred and eight peaks.
The Ruyi Golden Snake was a pure Gold Elent Spiritual Beast, its power full of endless sharpness, and it was best at attacking and fighting.
Although no one from the Beast Taming Sect had ever obtained a Spiritual Beast like the Ruyi Golden Snake before, and none of the nine True Inheritance Techniques of the Inner Sect’s Spiritual Snake Lineage was based on the Ruyi Golden Snake, he was not at all worried about not having a Cultivation thod once he entered the Inner Sect.
Because he never intended to let the Ruyi Golden Snake follow the Gold Elent Path to a dead end.
Now that he had installed the Ruyi Golden Snake as the leader of the second layer of the Demon Refining Pot, he would certainly help his Lifebound Spiritual Beast integrate the formidable Divine Skills of other Spiritual Snakes.
The more Divine Skills his Lifebound Spiritual Beast had, the more Divine Skills he would be able to cultivate in the future.
Fang Zheng, a disciple of Tiger Roar Peak, had the Bloodline of the Dragon Son and Bi’an in his Lifebound Spiritual Beast. Leveraging this, he had cultivated the Evil Suppressing Dharma Eye Divine Skill, making him one of the top characters among the Outer Disciples.
Elder Yan Zhongli of Spiritual Ape Peak, besides cultivating the Great Strength Divine Power, later cultivated a Thunder Divine Power, his War Power reaching the level where he could contend against several Demon Cultivators in the Golden Core Late Stage at the sa ti.
Qin Feng felt that if he integrated several Divine Skills into the Ruyi Golden Snake, then not only would he not have to worry about the issue of Cultivation thods in the future, but once his Cultivation reached a Realm not far from Yan Zhongli, his War Power would certainly be even more formidable.
As for Techniques, he felt that if possible, he should cultivate one or two more, such as the “Netherworld Yin Snake Seven Incantations.”
Although he was reluctant to make this Technique his main Cultivation thod, fearing that once he mastered it, he might be influenced by the Technique and beco as gloomy and cold as Elder Yin Qi, he still greatly coveted its power.
If he only considered the “Netherworld Yin Snake Seven Incantations” as a supplentary Technique, it should not have too much of an impact.
