Chapter 133: Revisiting
“Iron Egg, keep watch for .”
As soon as he spoke, Chen Beiwu handed the Withered Thunder Branch to Gold Egg.
“Gulu?” Gold Egg’s eyes revealed doubt.
‘Don’t use the Sea-Absorbing talent, refine it with All Laws Converge, Heaven Book of the Divine Tree.’ Chen Beiwu reminded him through thought.
Gold Egg showed a look of sudden realization, opened its mouth, and bit down hard on the Withered Thunder Branch, releasing a few arcs of lightning.
“Zzzt zzzt zzzt!”
Seeing this scene, Chen Beiwu took a deep breath and swallowed the Moon Dew in one gulp.
Gold Egg was in charge of the Wood aspect, nurturing the sprouting Green Wood, while he himself was in charge of the Water aspect, shedding the Clear Spring Water.
When the Green Wood sprout and the Clear Spring Water both completed their transformation, the two would complent each other.
By then, if he used the Green Wood sprout within Gold Egg to nourish the Clear Spring Water, he could transform it into the Clearwood Spirit, thus cultivating the Heaven Book · Qi Refining Chapter to the Eleventh Layer, successfully advancing to the Eleventh Level of Qi Refining.
“Hum!”
The mont the Moon Dew entered his stomach, the Clear Spring Spirit Seed within Chen Beiwu’s qi sea blood with an unprecedented brilliance.
In contrast, on the other side of his dantian’s qi sea, distinct yet complentary to the Clear Spring Spirit Seed, the Green Wood Spirit Seed suddenly dimd, showing faint signs of withering.
Clearly, the addition of this second-tier high-grade spiritual item, Moon Dew, completely broke the balance between water and wood within Chen Beiwu’s dantian qi sea, showing signs of water flourishing while wood withered.
If this situation continued, and the Green Wood Spirit Seed withered completely, Chen Beiwu’s Heaven Book of the Divine Tree would forever remain at the Tenth Layer of the Qi Refining Chapter.
Fortunately, Chen Beiwu had long been prepared. Through the link of the Companion Contract, he drew the abundant Wood spiritual energy within Gold Egg—caused by swallowing the Withered Thunder Branch—into his own qi sea, watering the Green Wood Spirit Seed, greatly restoring its vitality and preventing decline.
At the sa ti, according to the Heaven Book’s records, Chen Beiwu guided the overly powerful Water spiritual energy of the Clear Spring Spirit Seed into Gold Egg’s ridians.
As ti passed, the Clear Spring Spirit Seed and Green Wood Spirit Seed within Chen Beiwu’s qi sea gradually regained a faint balance in a state of one strong, one weak.
“Hu.”
Chen Beiwu exhaled a turbid breath, his face revealing determination.
According to the Heaven Book’s records, once balance was re-established within the dantian qi sea, it would not be easily broken.
Unless he exhausted his mana in battle or sustained severe injuries spreading into his ridians.
“Gulu?”
Gold Egg, having finished circulating the cultivation thod, smacked its lips and looked puzzled.
It had swallowed the Withered Thunder Branch—so why hadn’t its cultivation increased at all?
‘You silly thing.’ Chen Beiwu poked Gold Egg’s forehead with his finger.
To prevent imbalance between Water and Wood, refining Moon Dew and Withered Thunder Branch could not be rushed. It required long brewing before the Green Wood Spirit Seed and Clear Spring Spirit Seed could fully transform.
As for how long this transformation would take, the Heaven Book of the Divine Tree had clear records.
Depending on the Qi Refining cultivator’s aptitude and the Companion Beast’s bloodline, the shortest was three years, the longest five years.
“Gulu!” Gold Egg widened its fish eyes, not understanding.
What kind of ridiculous cultivation thod was this? Refining spiritual items at such a slow pace!
With its Sea-Absorbing talent, it might not even need a year to completely digest the Withered Thunder Branch.
‘You silly thing, just do as I say.’
Chen Beiwu slapped Gold Egg’s body. With such force, it was no different from a massage. Then he withdrew the surrounding four formations: defense, concealnt, spirit-gathering, and illusion.
Three years at the least, five at most, to reach the Eleventh Layer of the Heaven Book—what did that an?
Even Qi Refining cultivators with excellent talent in the Southern Wastes would need decades of bitter cultivation and massive resources to step from the Tenth Level of Qi Refining into the Eleventh.
Otherwise, why would so sect sequence disciples choose to give up and break through to Foundation Establishnt at the Tenth Level of Qi Refining?
It was no exaggeration to say, if sect Qi Refining cultivators learned of the Heaven Book of the Divine Tree’s existence, they would rush to cultivate it.
Only, the Heaven Book was extrely difficult to begin, and required a Companion Beast with three strong ridians.
Without Immortal Alliance’s education system, even if an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator obtained the Heaven Book, they would not know how to cultivate it.
At this thought, Chen Beiwu’s mind suddenly lit up: ‘If I fully cultivate the Qi Refining Aperture-Consolidating thod and advance to the Eleventh Level of Qi Refining, would the transformation speed of the two Spirit Seeds greatly shorten?’
“Woof.”
Upon seeing Chen Beiwu’s figure appear, Iron Egg quickly trotted up.
“You’ve worked hard. Want to chew on so Verdant Scales?” Chen Beiwu rubbed Iron Egg’s chin.
He was only a Qi Refining cultivator. The ss at Qingsu Island was being handled by Senior Sister Yun.
Before matters settled, he had no desire to expose his whereabouts by returning to the sect—lest unexpected trouble arise and others target him.
After all, he had his backers, but so did others.
To cut off soone’s wealth was like killing their parents. If he did not act cautiously, he might be silenced in revenge.
“Woof.” Iron Egg’s eyes lit up.
…
Near the Mysterious Spirit Lake.
Revisiting an old place, Chen Beiwu’s state of mind was completely different from before.
Back then, he had been a Seventh-Level Qi Refining cultivator. When encountering a heaven-and-earth treasure, he had to avoid it in advance. Even when passing through, if he t a beast’s lair, he had to take a detour.
But now, it was different.
Unless unlucky enough to et a second-realm Lesser Beast, Gold Egg and Iron Egg working together could eliminate all the spirits they t on the road.
“Gulu.”
Gold Egg opened its mouth, activated its Sea-Absorbing talent, and swallowed half a Verdant Scale.
Iron Egg, anwhile, held the other half in its mouth and trotted before Chen Beiwu.
“You eat it.” Patting Iron Egg’s head, Chen Beiwu turned his gaze toward a nearby cliff.
At the edge of a rock pile, a fat spider was crawling back and forth.
Following Chen Beiwu’s gaze, Iron Egg looked surprised.
“Woof?”
When did its master develop a taste for insects?
“You look carefully,” Chen Beiwu reminded. “Did you notice anything strange?”
At his words, Iron Egg closed its eyes, nose twitching.
Strange—it actually slled the stench unique to snakes.
“Gulu.” Gold Egg blew bubbles.
It was only a spider. One spit and it could kill it.
‘Then I’ll leave it to you. Rember, capture it alive.’ Chen Beiwu said through thought.
Bullying low-level spirits did not grant much battle experience. That beast lurking ahead might let Gold Egg understand the cunning viciousness of beasts.
Gold Egg glanced at the cliff spider and casually spat out a Water Cannon.
“Boom!”
The Water Cannon exploded, raising clouds of dust and rubble, yet failed to harm the spider. Instead, it used the chance to slip into a crack in the rocks.
Seeing this, Gold Egg beca interested.
Its scales turned into blades, unleashing the first-tier peerless exotic technique Scale-Blade Escape. Its body instantly transford into a golden thread, silently darting into the rock crevice, intending to capture it alive.
“Boom!”
Just then, an extrely chilling aura erupted, making Gold Egg’s pupils contract.
The rocks shattered, and a jet-black serpent beast with ghost-face markings shot out violently.
“Gulu!”
Gold Egg’s eyes widened, body freezing as the snake coiled tightly around it in midair, binding it motionless.
The beast opened its jaws toward Gold Egg, venomous fangs dripping strands of eerie green poison.
