Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 20: Practical Spells
Back in the training room, Chen Beiwu couldn't help but breathe heavily.

It’s such a thrill to escape death!

If it weren't for the Linghu Formation's ability to conceal Qi, he probably wouldn't have been able to escape Cang Leihu's perception, let alone escape through space with the help of the power of the Ten Directions Chaos Gate.

After relaxing, Chen Beiwu looked at Tiedan.

At this moment, it was standing in front of him with its tail between its legs, its body shaking uncontrollably.

Chen Beiwu reached out and touched the dog's head, comforting it: "Don't worry, it's okay."

Tiedan was a bit of a gambler this time, but his loyalty is unquestionable.

Faced with a second-level demon, ordinary beasts would have been scared to death. The fact that Tiedan could stand in front of it showed that it possessed an excellent quality: loyalty!

Tiedan whimpered, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

It didn't expect that catching snakes could actually lead to the territory of the Cang Lei Tiger.

"Woof." Tiedan explained with a low growl.

Chen Beiwu's expression changed: "You mean you didn't find the wrong place?"

"Wang!"

"The Green Scales are on the central island of Spirit Lake, and there are a lot of them?"

"Woof!" Tiedan nodded.

"That's difficult." Chen Beiwu frowned.

All grass is poisonous.

In order to prevent the accumulation of elixir poison in the body, unstable foundation, and difficulty in passing the three stages of foundation building, any cultivator with a little ambition in the Immortal Alliance will not take too many elixirs during the Qi training period. At most, they will take one or two elixirs when breaking through the realm barrier, and then slowly eliminate the elixir poison in the body.

This is also the reason why Chen Beiwu only cut off a piece of black gold ginseng when swallowing it instead of eating it all.

But cultivators who come from poor families don’t have such concerns. They take elixirs as much as they can, and their main goal is to break through to a new realm, even though they often get stuck at the ninth level of Qi training and have no chance of building a foundation.

The reason why Chen Beiwu is so concerned about the Green Scaled Snake Gallbladder is because it is one of the very few rare animal materials that can be used during the Qi training period, will not damage the foundation of the cultivator, and has the effect of strengthening the foundation and replenishing the essence.

Spiritual materials like the Green Scaled Snake Gallbladder, which can nourish the mind and strengthen the body without any side effects, are generally only available to geniuses from immortal cultivation families.

However, no matter how good the treasure is, you have to be alive to enjoy it. The Cang Lei Tiger is not a monster that is easy to bully.

Unless Chen Beiwu can advance to the foundation-building stage, he will never approach Linghu Lake again, let alone go to the central island of Linghu Lake to catch snakes.

"It's a pity that my grandfather passed away so early, otherwise that spiritual lake would have been an excellent place for cultivation." Chen Beiwu thought regretfully.

He couldn't beat Cang Leihu, but to survive in the world, one needed not only strength but also background.

If my grandfather were still alive, killing a Cang Lei Tiger and monopolizing the spiritual lake would not be a problem.

Chen Beiwu suppressed his delusions and shook his head. He looked at Tiedan and asked, "Apart from Linghu Lake, are there any other places with green scales?"

"Wang."

Tiedan blinked his eyes, indicating that he could look for it, but the scent of a snake was too weak, especially a lurking snake.

If it searches one by one, it is very likely to find the wrong snake.

"Okay, go and have some rest."

I glanced at the faint sunlight coming in through the window. It was still an hour before class started.

Chen Beiwu waved his hand to signal Tiedan to leave, then began his daily morning study and went out to school.

This morning we have our homeroom teacher Wang Kui’s beast taming class, which happens to be a long-awaited practical sparring class.

"Chen Beiwu, Xu Ziqing!"

As Wang Kui finished speaking, the boys in the class instantly focused their attention on the actual combat stage.

Before this, Chen Beiwu had not yet broken through to the late stage of Qi training, and in the practical class he was always suppressed by Xu Ziqing, who was at the seventh level of Qi training.

Now that the former has broken through to the seventh level of Qi training, he will definitely go all out to shed his perennial second-best status. Meanwhile, to maintain his top ranking, the latter might even unleash the secret techniques of the Xu family, the Meteorite Dragon.

They will not miss this rare opportunity to watch the game!

After all, with most classmates' cultivation level remaining at the fourth level of Qi training, Chen Beiwu and Xu Ziqing, who are at the seventh level of Qi training, are equivalent to the big guys. Watching them fight will definitely allow one to learn a lot of practical experience.

Noticing the eager gazes around him, Chen Beiwu thought to himself, "What a hassle."

Having experienced the battles in another world, he had no interest in the children's playful magic combat.

Xu Ziqing stood in the center of a group of girls, her eyes fixed on Chen Beiwu.

She tapped her toes lightly, her sleeves fluttering in the wind, and she landed gracefully on the sparring stage, facing Chen Beiwu from a distance.

"Come on, Beiwu. Beat the number one, and you'll be number one!"

Suddenly, a cheering voice came from the crowd.

Xu Ziqing's eyes changed, and her peripheral vision instantly locked onto the serious Xu Lingling in the audience.

Seeing this, the latter pretended not to know, his eyes subconsciously wandering to both sides.

"quiet."

After saying that, Wang Kui strode to the center of the battlefield and looked at Chen Beiwu and the other man. "You two, choose your side. This is a practical battle of magic. Whoever triggers the amulet will be considered the loser."

Chen Beiwu and Xu Ziqing nodded.

"The battle begins!"

As soon as the head teacher finished speaking, Xu Ziqing moved instantly.

Her fingers flew and formed a magic seal. A pillar of hot fire instantly erupted from under Chen Beiwu's feet. The heat generated by the fire column made some students standing in the front row watching subconsciously step back.

'Too slow!'

Chen Beiwu used his special ability to control the wind, and without paying attention to the pillar of fire exploding behind him, he approached Xu Ziqing at lightning speed, and then formed the "Water Mist Technique" seal.

In an instant, dense fog enveloped the combat stage, and Xu Ziqing's vision suddenly became white.

"It's the same trick again. Can you change your tactics?" Xu Ziqing slashed down in the air with his right finger, and three ferocious fire pythons immediately tore through the surrounding fog, protecting it in 360 degrees without any blind spots.

"The routine may be old, but it works." A deep and powerful male voice came from all directions in the fog.

The next second, Chen Beiwu quietly appeared behind Xu Ziqing.

The latter's eyes narrowed, as if he had eyes on his back, and the seal of his right finger immediately changed.

"Scorching Flame!"

Three ferocious fire pythons suddenly surrounded him, transforming into thirty-six light orange fire lines to block Chen Beiwu's retreat.

"Boom!"

As a violent roar sounded, Xu Ziqing slowly exhaled.

The explosion just now seemed very powerful, but its destructive power was actually very ordinary.

Because this fight was an actual combat, not a fight to the death, she deliberately controlled the leakage of the power of her magic, just enough to hit the amulet that Chen Beiwu was carrying and win the game.

However, the next second, under Xu Ziqing's surprised gaze, a layer of light golden defensive barrier quietly appeared. It was the effect of the amulet automatically activating to protect its master.

She turned around and saw a thin blade made of compressed microscopic water flow quietly hanging two inches away from her neck, blocked by the defensive barrier.

At the same time, in the center of the actual combat stage, two figures, one in front and one behind, suddenly turned into flowing water and disappeared.

"The winner has been decided!" The head teacher Wang Kui made the announcement.

The students watching around looked at each other in disbelief.

"Didn't Beiwu just break through to the seventh level of Qi training a few days ago? How come he has even mastered the first-grade, superior Water Gathering Technique!"
