Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 3 Paralyzed Dog
"Wang Wang Wang!"

When Chen Beiwu returned to the door of his house, he heard a burst of excited dog barking coming from inside the house.

"Be quiet, Tiedan." As soon as he finished speaking, the shouting stopped immediately.

"Crack!"

Chen Beiwu pushed open the door, and a black shadow instantly pounced at his feet. The speed was so fast that only cultivators in the late stage of Qi training could see it clearly, but it could not escape his hands.

"Woof." Tiedan did not resist. He rubbed Chen Beiwu's palm gently with an obedient look.

"What's wrong? Are you hungry?" Chen Beiwu chuckled.

"Woof woof." Tiedan barked twice, indicating that he was not hungry at all.

"Even if you're not hungry, you can eat more to grow taller." Chen Beiwu squatted down and gently stroked Tiedan's hair, which was like silk in the night.

Tiedan is a black dog with shiny black hair covering his entire body, except for the paw area, which is dotted with a bunch of white hair.

These white stripes look like flawless white snow, and from a distance, they look like dark clouds covering the snow.

However, compared to all these, what concerned Chen Beiwu the most was Tiedan's hind legs lying limply on the ground.

"I'm already at the seventh level of Qi training. I can apply to the school to buy some bone strengthening powder." Chen Beiwu said softly, "Take some and see if it works."

"Wang Wang."

Upon hearing this, Tiedan immediately barked twice, and his strong and powerful forelimbs stood up like two black spears, showing that he was very strong.

So what if its hind limbs can't move? It still has its front limbs.

"Don't refuse. Listen to me."

Noticing Tiedan's stubbornness, Chen Beiwu flicked its head with his fingertips, then stood up and walked towards the training room.

Tiedan growled and followed Chen Beiwu obediently.

In the era of the Immortal Alliance, every parent who wanted their children to be successful and did not want them to fall behind others would set up a training room at home.

There is no way. After tens of thousands of years of development and utilization by the Immortal Alliance, most of the spiritual energy that permeates the sky and earth on Tianyuan Star has been nationalized. Only some spiritual energy is left to ensure the continuous spiritual energy within the territory of the Immortal Alliance, except for special areas.

Nowadays, if a cultivator wants to absorb spiritual energy for cultivation, he must purchase the qualification to open a training room from the official Immortal Alliance and pay a spiritual energy fee every month.

However, there are always some ordinary cultivators who would secretly run to the wilderness to absorb spiritual energy in order to save money. This behavior of stealing spiritual energy would trigger a reaction from the Immortal Alliance's formation, and they would basically catch them all.

As far as Chen Beiwu knew, in Yuankong County alone, hundreds or even thousands of people were sentenced to seven days of detention, warnings, and fines by the Immortal Alliance Law Enforcement Team every year for stealing spiritual energy.

From this we can see that in the era of the Immortal Alliance, it is impossible to become an immortal without money!
The training room in Chen Beiwu's home wasn't of high quality, only a mid-level first-grade one. Even so, just purchasing the qualification for the training room cost twenty low-grade spirit stones.

The Immortal Alliance also charges about one spirit stone for spiritual energy every month, which is twelve spirit stones a year.

You should know that one spirit stone can be exchanged for one spirit yuan at the Immortal Alliance Bank, and one spirit yuan can be exchanged for ten cents or one hundred points.

Chen Beiwu now only needs to spend a few cents to have a meal of three dishes and a soup in the school cafeteria.

'The little fellow is as loyal as ever.'

Before closing the door of the training room, Chen Beiwu glanced at the small ball of half-green and half-blue light above Tiedan's head.

That ray of light represents Tiedan's luck, which has now reached a level close to the second level.

It stands to reason that luck is illusory and cannot be seen by ordinary people, but Chen Beiwu is different. He has the top-level plug-in Nine Breaths of Chaos passed down from his family. He can see the luck of all things in the world and even transform his own luck into a trigger for an adventure.

Tiedan was the egg Chen Beiwu had found five years earlier, after a fortuitous encounter. Back then, he was a junior high student on his way home when a truck suddenly lost control and struck a black ball hurtling toward the road. As luck would have it, the black ball landed right at Chen Beiwu's feet.

Chen Beiwu didn't hesitate and picked up Hei Tuan and rushed to the veterinary hospital for emergency treatment.

After the rescue, the doctor told him two pieces of news, one good and one bad.

The good news is that the operation was successful, the injured cub's vital signs are stable, and it is not in danger of life.

The bad news is that the puppy's hind legs were not injured in a car accident, but rather it has a congenital disability. The cost of treatment is extremely high, and there is a high possibility that the puppy will die on the way.

So Chen Beiwu took the black cub home and gave it the nickname Tiedan, hoping to raise it successfully and let it grow up healthily.

Tiedan did not disappoint Chen Beiwu's expectations. He grew taller and stronger day by day.

A year ago, a brick kiln caught fire and collapsed. Tiedan risked his life to rescue his father who had fainted on the ground from the raging fire.

Since then, Tiedan's status in the family has increased significantly, and Chen Beiwu even had the idea of ​​signing a contract with Tiedan.

The difference between ordinary beasts and strange beasts lies in whether they possess Taoism.

The fact that Tiedan was able to rescue his father from the sea of ​​fire shows that it is a strange beast with some magical powers.

Unlike cultivators who use realm to classify strength, the Immortal Alliance is accustomed to classifying the strength of monsters by level of cultivation. The bloodline grade is only the theoretical upper limit of a monster's level of cultivation and does not represent its specific strength.

For example, animals without any spiritual power are called zero-level ordinary beasts, and they will never be able to acquire spiritual power in their lifetime unless they get the opportunity.

A first-level exotic beast can generally gain Taoism when it reaches adulthood. Such beings are called spirits by cultivators, and their strength is equivalent to that of an ordinary cultivator who practices Qi.

Theoretically, a second-level spirit beast can have a cultivation of more than fifty years and less than four hundred and ninety-nine years. Such beings are called little demons by cultivators, and their strength is equivalent to that of a foundation-building cultivator.

Theoretically, a third-rank treasure beast can have a cultivation history of more than 500 years and less than 999 years. Such beings are called demon generals by cultivators, and their strength is equivalent to that of an extraordinary Jindan Zhenren.

It is difficult to tell the level of Taoism. Chen Beiwu can only roughly estimate that Tiedan has a level of Taoism of less than ten years, and is a little goblin.

However, since Tiedan's luck is close to the second level, it means that it has the potential to break through the shackles of blood and become a second-level spirit beast and be promoted to a little demon.

It's just that Tiedan is close to fire and likes to eat hot things. He is obviously a fire-attributed monster, while Chen Beiwu has both water and wood spiritual roots. The two have incompatible attributes, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are completely incompatible.

It was precisely because of this that Chen Beiwu gave up the idea of ​​contracting Tiedan after struggling for a while.

A cultivator's first pet beast is of vital importance, as it affects the cultivator's future cultivation speed and the difficulty of breaking through the realm.

Even if he contracts a fire-attribute beast that has not reached the second level, it will be useless and may even become a burden to him.

Because Chen Beiwu's spiritual root qualifications are not simple, he has dual-element spiritual roots of water and wood, which are quite rare in Yuankong County.

What is the earth spiritual root?
The Immortal Alliance divides the spiritual roots of cultivators into six levels according to the purity of the spiritual roots: immortal, heavenly, earthly, true, mixed, and false.

As long as the purity of one of the five elements of a cultivator's spiritual root is above forty, it means that he possesses the attribute of a true spiritual root. If the purity is above sixty, it means that he possesses an earth spiritual root.

The spiritual root levels of different attributes will take the highest level, and Chen Beiwu's spiritual root attributes are: gold 15, wood 76, water 79, fire 18, earth 17.

If the purity of Chen Beiwu's water spiritual root could be improved a little more to 80, then he would not be the owner of both water and wood earth spiritual roots, but the owner of water heaven spiritual root.

As for the legendary immortal spiritual roots, the purity of the cultivator's spiritual roots must break 99, which is the limit of the heavenly spiritual roots, and reach the legendary 100 purity.

Once a spiritual root owner of this level appears, he can directly participate in the Immortal Examination without taking the Immortal Alliance College Entrance Examination, and may even be admitted to the Five Great Cave Heavens and become the future successor of the Immortal Alliance.
