Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 95 Sun Moon Lake

"Junior brother, since you know Senior Sister Li, could you please introduce us?" Shu You asked tentatively.

"I need to ask Senior Sister Wan'er for her opinion." Chen Beiwu did not refuse.

This is how interpersonal relationships and social circles among cultivators are formed.

However, to avoid failing in his invitation, he needed to get to know Wan'er better before he could make the request.

Upon hearing this, Shu You's eyes brightened slightly. She poured a cup of tea and handed it to Chen Beiwu, changing her form of address: "Of course, I'll trouble Zi'ang with this matter."

……

The next morning, Chen Beiwu took the golden egg out.

This time, he did not put the golden egg in the spirit beast bag, but instead wore it as an ornament on his waist belt.

"Gulu."

Golden Egg looked around at the scenery with curiosity, its expression revealing excitement.

"Junior brother, is this a gift for our meeting?"

Suddenly, Senior Sister Wan'er appeared and poked the golden egg's head with her finger, startling the latter into widening its eyes.

"Senior sister, you've misunderstood. This isn't a gift; it's a spirit beast I've contracted and nurtured," Chen Beiwu explained.

"Alright." Wan'er clicked her tongue, looking quite disappointed.

Such plump fish would taste absolutely delicious if deep-fried.

"Come with me."

Li Wan'er's frustration came and went quickly; not long after, she skipped and hopped forward to lead the way, showing no airs of a third-tier alchemist.

At the entrance to Sun Moon Lake in Jiuqiao, a man and two women were waiting at the door.

"Why haven't they arrived yet?" Yu Ying's face was ashen, and her full breasts trembled slightly.

"Junior Sister Yu, why don't we call it quits?" The tall, black-robed youth with a magic sword at his waist advised.

"Forget it?" Yu Ying looked at the black-robed youth with a mocking gaze: "Senior Brother Lu, you make it sound so easy. If it wasn't me who had my spot taken, but you, would you be willing to swallow this insult?"

Lu Jian fell silent.

The Sun Moon Lake, with its nine orifices, contains the yin energy of the moon and the yang energy of the sun.

The former can cleanse the soul of a Qi Refining cultivator of impurities and slightly improve their comprehension, while the latter can cleanse the meridians of a Qi Refining cultivator, clearing away hidden injuries and slightly improving their spiritual root aptitude.

When the two energies come together, they have a miraculous effect of cleansing the marrow and transforming the body.

It should be noted that the Mirror Moon Sect has hundreds of thousands of outer disciples, and only those who are outstanding and win the top three places in the outer sect competition are qualified to enter the Nine Aperture Sun Moon Pool for half a month of cultivation.

The scarcity of a spot to enter Sun Moon Lake is self-evident.

Honestly, if he were a true disciple of the sect, perhaps he could calmly give up his spot.

After all, for true disciples, the Nine Aperture Sun and Moon Pool is merely a place where spiritual veins converge, not a particularly precious land.

But he is currently a Qi Refining Peak cultivator in the outer sect.

For him, the Nine-Aperture Sun Moon Lake was a once-in-a-century opportunity, which could even determine whether he could successfully advance to the Foundation Establishment stage in the future.

If anyone tries to seize this opportunity, they will go even further than Yu Ying.

“What can we do if we can’t swallow it? This is the sect’s arrangement,” Li Lin said earnestly.

The winner of each outer sect competition can be exceptionally admitted to the inner sect and become an inner sect disciple, so she has a high degree of belonging to the sect.

In Li Lin's opinion, the reason why Yu Ying lost her spot was simply because she wasn't strong enough!
If the opponent can win second place in the competition, the cultivator who lost his spot this time will be Lu Jian.

"The sect has a system of competition, but it seems Senior Sister Li has forgotten about it," Yu Ying said with a sneer.

Upon hearing this, both Li Lin and Lu Jian were taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes.

The path to immortality lies in competition.

Those who do not strive for success are unlikely to achieve anything, let alone attain immortality.

Therefore, the Mirror Moon Sect established a system of competition.

If a fellow cultivator disagrees with the sect's arrangement and believes they have exceptional talent, they can compete with their rivals under the witness of the Hall of Justice to determine the winner and thus decide who gets the spot.

"I hope you won't regret this, Junior Sister Yu." Li Lin shook her head.

Good words can't persuade a damn ghost.

The cultivator who was able to obtain a spot at Sun Moon Lake through a sudden influx of talent must have an extraordinary background. If Yu Ying insists on competing, regardless of the final outcome, her fate will not be good.

"At worst, I'll just die," Yu Ying scoffed.

"tread!"

"tread!"

"tread!"

Just then, cheerful footsteps sounded, and a little girl gradually came into view.

Their pupils contracted, and their eyes all turned to the mark on the girl's clothes.

The moment Yu Ying saw the mark clearly, her face turned pale, and her body trembled slightly involuntarily.

No, not possible!
How could a true disciple possibly lower himself to forcefully claim a spot at Sun Moon Lake?

"Junior brother, this is it." Li Wan'er waved behind her.

The next second, under everyone's gaze, another figure walked over, stepping on the clouds.

The rosy light pierced through the bamboo leaves and fell on him, revealing a pair of striking, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes.

Li Lin narrowed her eyes slightly, instantly recalling yesterday's chance encounter.

Yu Ying took a deep breath and quickly walked up to Chen Beiwu. "So you're the one who took my place?"

Chen Beiwu was slightly taken aback, and looked at Wan'er, "And who is this?"

"I don't know, I was only responsible for bringing you here."

As if remembering something, Li Wan'er took out a jade pendant from her storage ring, crushed it, and then happily clapped her hands: "But now that my mission is complete, Junior Brother, you can take a nice bath. I won't go."

After saying that, she turned into a streak of rainbow light and disappeared, leaving Chen Beiwu with a head full of question marks.

Seeing that the master she feared had left, Yu Ying scrutinized Chen Beiwu and said aggressively, "Answer me, did you take my spot?"

"Get out of the way." Chen Beiwu frowned.

He wanted to ask about the reason for the limited number of spots.

But the other person's attitude made him instantly lose the desire to talk.

"Today I will contend with you!" Yu Ying took out a blood-written letter from her storage bag, which bore the seal of the Hall of Justice.

"boring."

Chen Beiwu shook his head, his gaze fixed on the rapidly approaching rainbow light in the distance.

"You are the cultivators who entered Sun Moon Lake this time." The rainbow light dissipated, revealing a young cultivator wearing a Mirror Moon Sect Daoist robe.

"Greetings, Steward Yun." The four greeted him immediately.

"Why is there an extra person?" Deacon Yun asked Yu Ying.

Yu Ying's heart skipped a beat, but she forced herself to say, "Steward, I want to compete with this senior brother. According to the sect's custom, the top three in the outer sect competition are qualified to enter Sun Moon Lake."

"A contest?" Deacon Yun frowned slightly and waved his hand at Yu Ying as if shooing away flies. "Nonsense. Without a witness from the Hall of Justice, your contest is completely invalid with just a blood pact."

"Furthermore, who told you that the top three in the outer sect competition are qualified to enter Sun Moon Lake? The sect's laws have never explicitly stated that."

After saying that, he looked at Chen Beiwu with a smile, "It's been a long time. Junior Brother Chen, you're still as dashing as ever."

Seeing Deacon Yun's behavior, Li Lin and Lu Jian understood.

Their guess was right; this guy of unknown origin was someone they couldn't afford to offend.

"No, that's not right. This has always been the unspoken rule. He took my spot by force." Yu Ying glared at Chen Beiwu with resentment.

"Ridiculous." Upon hearing this, Deacon Yun turned to look at Yu Ying, emanating a trace of Foundation Establishment pressure: "Then let me ask you, of the top three disciples in the last outer sect competition, did any of them enter Sun Moon Lake?"

Yu Ying was taken aback for a moment, then retorted in a low voice, "That's because the two atmospheres of Sun Moon Lake had not yet recovered at that time!"

"Have you ever thought about the previous two generations?" Deacon Yun gave her a cold look.

Sun Moon Lake was opened by the sect for Tianjiao.

If it weren't for Junior Brother Chen joining the sect, the top three in this year's outer sect competition wouldn't have been able to enter Sun Moon Lake either.

The reason is simple: this year's top outer sect disciple failed to attract the attention of the Golden Core elders, let alone gain their recognition.
