Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 86 Cold Pond
"Since you call me Senior Sister, the proper greeting gift is inevitable."

Zhu Qiong's consciousness moved, and the storage ring flickered faintly.

A spiritual sword that was as black as ink, with a long and narrow blade and a faint blue cold light, was suspended in the air, making a crisp sword sound, causing the temperature in the box to drop suddenly.

"This sword is forged from the scales of a cold horned snake and the sect's cold pond black iron.

The sword is four feet long and weighs a thousand pounds. It is called Hantan and is a second-grade, top-grade water-attribute spiritual weapon with the ability to break spells.

A Qi training cultivator holding this wield can also break through the protective magical powers of a cultivator in the early stages of foundation building."

At this point, Zhu Qiong looked at Chen Beiwu and said, "Junior brother, if you can gain the approval of this sword, this Cold Pond Spirit Sword will be given to you."

Chen Beiwu's heart skipped a beat when he saw the cold sword with a blade as thin as a cicada's wing, a cold light condensed and not dissipated, and patterns on the sword spine that moved like dragons and snakes.

Facing this Hantan Sword, he actually had the illusion that he was facing a foundation-building cultivator.

It can be seen that this sword is quite spiritual, only inferior to a third-level treasure.

Seeing Chen Zi'ang standing still, Zhu Qiong reminded him, "A spiritual sword is spiritual, and would rather break than bend. Junior brother, there's no need to overthink. Simply grasp the hilt and activate your magical power, and you'll know if this sword is compatible with your own cultivation."

Chen Beiwu nodded, took a step forward, then stretched out his right palm and approached the Hantan Sword cautiously.

"Buzz!"

At this moment, the magic sword made a crisp sound, and a biting cold wind blew towards Chen Beiwu in an instant.

Seeing this, Chen Beiwu remained calm, stretched out his palm at a faster speed, and grabbed the cold pond.

"Buzz!"

The next moment, a warm feeling that penetrated into the heart emanated from the hilt of the Hantan sword, and then quickly dissipated, leaving Chen Beiwu slightly stunned.

He had already prepared himself for the possibility of failure in recognizing his master, but he did not expect that the Hantan Sword would be so kind and give Chen Beiwu the feeling of being at the mercy of others.

"Thank you for the gift, senior sister." Chen Beiwu gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, pointed the sword downward, and bowed slightly to Zhu Qiong.

There was no surprise in Zhu Qiong's eyes.

There are two most important factors when choosing a master for the Hantan Spirit Sword: one is the realm of cultivation, and the other is the spiritual roots.

The former represents the strong people of today, and the latter represents the strong people of tomorrow.

Otherwise, Master would not have chosen to forge the Cold Pond Spirit Sword.

"I have important matters to attend to, so Junior Brother's admission into the sect will be left to Junior Sister Shu."

As soon as Zhu Qiong finished speaking, Chen Beiwu tactfully took his leave.

As soon as he left the box, Shu You, who was waiting outside the door, glanced at the Hantan Spirit Sword and immediately stepped forward.

"Junior brother, you are so lucky to have obtained the Cold Pond Spirit Sword given by Zhu Zhenchuan."

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu showed a puzzled expression on his face.

"Elder Zhu is good at refining weapons, and all his disciples can obtain a Hantan Spirit Sword. Junior Brother Chen was able to obtain this sword, which means that you have become the elder's disciple." Shu You said with envy.

The Jindan Elder is in charge of an island and has a very high status in the Jingyue Sect. His power is only second to the Grand Elder and the Chief and Deputy Sect Masters. A single word from him can decide the amount of resources that the Jingyue Sect's affiliated sects can obtain.

Among the many Jindan Zhenren who are good at refining medicine in the sect, Elder Zhu can be ranked among the top five in terms of status and power.

"Thank you, senior sister, for clearing up my doubts." Chen Beiwu's eyes showed understanding.

"The skill assessment needs to last for three days and three nights. In order to avoid delaying my junior brother's training, I have asked the Gu family to prepare a top-grade cave." Shu You took out the cave jade token.

Chen Beiwu did not refuse. He took the jade token and said thank you.

It is said that the top-grade caves in Yinxiafang City are only open to strong people who have established their foundation.

He could take this opportunity to experience a cultivation cave that was almost comparable to a third-level spiritual vein.

Seeing the cave door closed, Shu You's eyes showed a pensive look.

Through this period of contact, she found that Chen Ziang's style of conduct was not at all like that of a casual cultivator. Instead, he was somewhat like a scholarly family from the mortal realm. He gave off the impression of a refined gentleman and was a worthy target for friendship. ...

"Have you found out Junior Brother Chen's background?" Zhu Qiong fiddled with the talisman without even turning his head.

"I've checked it out." Shu You lowered his head slightly and presented the jade slip with both hands: "Here are the specific information."

Zhu Qiong took the jade slip, scanned it casually with his spiritual sense, and then frowned slightly.

Lost both his parents at a young age, he resorted to fishing to make ends meet. A sudden flood swept him away, and upon waking, he found an inheritance from a corpse and embarked on the path of cultivating immortality...

After reading this information, Zhu Qiong had a strange look in his eyes.

There wouldn't be a cultivator with natural spiritual roots in Yinxiafang City for no reason, but her junior brother's experience in cultivating immortals looked a bit like that of a lucky protagonist in an immortal cultivation biography.

"Do we need to investigate it in detail again?" Shu You asked cautiously.

"No need, let's leave it at that." Zhu Qiong waved her hand casually.

It is rare to find a cultivator with natural spiritual roots.

Unless one is extremely obsessed with cultivating immortality, no sect leader would be willing to let a cultivator with natural spiritual roots escape, let alone an undercover agent.

To put it another way, identity can be forged, but will cannot.

The sect possesses an unpredictable fifth-order elemental artifact, the [Water Moon Elemental Mirror]. With just a light glance, it can determine whether the newly-joined cultivators have any grudges against the sect, or whether they are evil demons harboring malicious intentions.

Just as Shu You was about to take his leave, a cold voice suddenly rang out.

"What do you think of Junior Brother Chen?"

Hearing this, Shu You was slightly stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Just say whatever is on your mind," Zhu Qiong added.

"He is extremely talented and possesses both ability and virtue." Shu You commented simply, fearing that his words would cause Zhu Zhenchuan to be dissatisfied.

After all, there is a difference between closeness and distance.

She was just an inner sect disciple, while Chen Ziang was Zhu Zhen's junior disciple.

"Okay, I understand." Zhu Qiong said calmly.

At the same time, on the other side, Chen Beiwu opened his eyes and exhaled.

This place is full of spiritual energy and surging spiritual tides, making it worthy of being a top-grade cave specially designed for foundation-building cultivators.

One hour of his practice was equivalent to two hours of practice in a lower-grade cave. If he could continue practicing, he might be able to reach the ninth level of Qi training in a few months.

"Gurgle." The golden egg blew bubbles happily.

With Chen Beiwu's help in cultivation, its Taoism has been growing day by day, and now it has been practicing for twenty-two years.

Unfortunately, the food has not changed during this period, and it is always the same. It begins to miss the good days when it swallowed spirit fish in the micro water world.

Thinking of this, Jindan couldn't help but drool a few times.

Feeling the emotions coming from the fellow-contract, Chen Beiwu shook his head and took out the Hantan Spirit Sword, which had already recognized its master, from the storage bag.

Jade is not cut, not a device.

This idiot only cares about eating. It seems he needs to find some time to practice with Jindan and hone his combat abilities, so as not to spoil him.

"Gulu!"

Seeing the appearance of the Hantan Spirit Sword, Jindan's eyes moved and he stared at the former closely.

'This is not food.'

Patting the golden egg's head, Chen Beiwu activated his spiritual sense and began to comprehend the magical power of the Hantan Spirit Sword.
