Beast Taming Tower

Chen Xuan looked at Nangong Yuling expectantly.

Nangong Yuling's pretty face suddenly turned red for some reason.

Soon, she turned around and took out a storage bag with a faint body fragrance from her underwear.

With a flip of her hand, she took out the things in the storage bag in an instant.

"Junior brother, do you recognize this thing?"

Nangong Yuling saw three longan-sized thunder beads in her hand, each emitting a terrifying aura of thunder and lightning.

A terrifying aura continuously emanated from these three thunder beads.

After observing carefully for a while, Chen Xuan was surprised to find that the surface of these three thunder beads were actually carved with sky-reaching runes.

"This is... the Great Immortal-Exterminating Pearl?"

Chen Xuan was surprised.

Great Immortal Destruction Pearl!

This is no ordinary magical weapon.

Rather, it is a terrifying disposable consumable item that can kill earthly immortals.

Just inject spiritual power and it can be activated instantly.

It has the same effect as the Immortal-Destroying Pearl that Chen Xuan had used before.

The difference is that the power of the Immortal-Destroying Pearl can only be used against low-level immortal cultivators.

The power of the Great Immortal-Destroying Pearl is so terrifying that it can easily kill earthly immortals.

"Haha, I didn't expect that Senior Sister actually has this thing in her hand."

Chen Xuan looked very happy.

After taking the Great Immortal Destruction Pearl and playing with it carefully for a while, he said, "Senior Sister, I want both of them. Name your price!"

"Junior Brother, these two Great Immortal-Exterminating Pearls are very expensive. I spent a huge amount of money to get them."

"Each one requires seven thousand low-grade immortal stones!"

Although he had already prepared himself for a huge loss, Chen Xuan still felt the pain for a while after hearing the offer of 7,000 low-grade immortal stones.

"Well, seven thousand is seven thousand. I want all three Great Immortal-Exterminating Pearls!"

Chen Xuan waved his hand and collected all three Great Immortal-Destroying Pearls.

Soon, Chen Xuan flipped his hand again, took out two jade bottles and handed them to Nangong Yuling.

"Senior Sister, please take a look."

Nangong Yuling nodded.

His divine sense swept through the jade bottle handed over by Chen Xuan.

When she saw that Chen Xuan directly gave her twenty lower-grade purple-veined Qingling pills, she suddenly looked ecstatic.

"Junior brother is really generous. If you need my help with anything in the future, just let me know!" Nangong Yuling said with a smile.

Chen Xuan smiled and nodded.

The two have worked together for so many years and are quite familiar with each other.

What's more, Nangong Yuling's character is pretty good.

If possible, Chen Xuan would naturally be willing to continue cooperating with Nangong Yuling.

"Junior Brother, I invited you to my cave this time. In addition to completing the deal with you, I also want to discuss something else with you."

"Now, Junior Brother, your cultivation has reached the late stage of Tribulation Crossing. And you purchased so many mid-grade immortal artifacts, probably in preparation for the upcoming menial disciple assessment, right?"

Chen Xuan nodded seriously.

Seeing this, Nangong Yuling immediately smiled and said, "I can see that, Junior Brother Chen, you are a diligent cultivator and don't care about other matters in the sect. Therefore, I'm afraid you don't know much about the assessment of menial disciples."

"If that's the case, how about we two work together?"

"Don't worry, Junior Brother. I'm also at the late stage of Tribulation Crossing. My combat power is not too weak among cultivators of the same level. I will definitely not be a burden to you during the menial disciple assessment."

"What's more, in every round of the menial disciple assessment, there are always people secretly collaborating. This kind of cooperation is not limited to the cooperation between cultivators from the same sect."

"The complexity of the situation is far beyond anyone's imagination."

"But the True Immortal Realm is just that cruel. Even though I'm a native True Immortal Realm cultivator, facing this brutal test, I have no choice but to seek your cooperation."

"After all, it's not easy for me to survive the menial disciple assessment by relying on my own strength."

Chen Xuan's expression changed slightly when he heard this.

"From what Senior Sister said, is it true that every assessment for menial disciples is very difficult?"

"Junior brother, it's not just difficult, it's extremely difficult."

Nangong Yuling shook her head.

"To be honest, I have already participated in the examination for menial disciples."

"Last time, I acted together with my cousin. He is a powerful cultivator who has reached the late stage of the Great Perfection of Crossing the Tribulation Realm. His strength is also among the best among the cultivators of the same realm."

"Unfortunately, our Xiongmen encountered a menial disciple from the Tianjian Xianzong. He severely injured my cousin and me in the first encounter!"

"If my cousin hadn't risked his life to entangle the enemy, giving me a chance to escape, my cousin and I would have been killed during the last menial disciple assessment."

"That's exactly why I failed the last time I took the errand disciple assessment."

Chen Xuan was secretly surprised.

However, he also realized more clearly that the cruelty of the True Immortal Realm far exceeded that of the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

If you want to make a name for yourself in the world of true immortals, you need to work harder.

"Thank you, senior sister, for telling me this. However, I cannot give you an immediate answer regarding the cooperation you mentioned. How about letting me think about it first?" Chen Xuan said.

"Junior Brother, there are only a little over ten years left until the menial disciple assessment. If you have made up your mind, please let me know as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, Senior Sister. I will keep this in mind."

Chen Xuan agreed.

After a pause, Chen Xuan continued, "Senior Sister, since you've participated in the Miscellaneous Disciple Assessment once, you should know a lot about it, right? If so, could you give me some information about it?"

"Haha, even if Junior Brother didn't tell me, I was planning to give you one!"

Nangong Yuling smiled calmly.

He took out several jade slips and handed them to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan used his divine sense to scan and confirmed that there was no problem. Then he thanked him and left.

After Chen Xuan returned to his cave, he was not busy practicing.

Instead, he went straight into the Fairy Beast Tower and seriously recalled his conversation with Nangong Yuling.

"Senior Sister Nangong wouldn't lie to me about the errand disciple assessment. So, the difficulty of the errand disciple assessment is far beyond my imagination."

"Next, I should seriously prepare for the menial disciple assessment."

Chen Xuan muttered softly.

Take out all the gains you have made this time.

A purple iron shield, an ice longbow, a flying cloud sword, a great immortal bead, and two jade slips recording the assessment of menial disciples.

Chen Xuan ignored everything else and took the two jade slips in his hands and examined them carefully.

Two hours later, Chen Xuan had completely memorized the contents of the two jade slips.

"As expected, the assessment for menial disciples is extremely difficult. The mortality rate is also extremely high!"

"Less than 40% of the immortal cultivators who take the menial disciple assessment can come out alive."

"If I don't prepare well, let alone making it into the top 100 and getting the chance to enter the Immortal Transformation Pool, even staying alive would be a luxury!"

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan’s motivation for cultivation was instantly filled.

Now, Chen Xuan's cultivation has reached the great perfection state in the late stage of tribulation.

Even if he meditated and practiced every day, his cultivation would not improve at all.

Only by entering the Immortal Transformation Pool and transforming all of his spiritual power into immortal power, will he have a chance to reach the Earthly Immortal realm.

As long as his cultivation reaches the Earth Immortal realm and he passes the assessment for outer disciples, Chen Xuan will be an outer disciple of the Changsheng Immortal Sect.

Enjoy the treatment of a real outer disciple.

But Chen Xuan knew that although it sounded easy, it was not easy to do.

During this period, the price paid is probably far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

"Next, I must spend some time familiarizing myself with the three mid-grade immortal artifacts. Besides that, I must also comprehend the power of the Five Elements and practice the Five Elements Immortal Arts."

Chen Xuan muttered softly and arranged his own training plan.

As for the Five Elements Magic!

This is what Chen Xuan learned from Senior Brother Ling Yu in the Neiwutang Transmission Hall.

Chen Xuan, who possesses the five elements spiritual roots, had mastered the five elements magic many years ago.

Unfortunately, he had not cultivated any of his five elements magic to the state of great perfection.

Chen Xuan planned to take advantage of this period of seclusion to practice the Five Elements Magic.

Perhaps it can also play a huge role in the assessment of menial disciples.

After finishing all the chores, Chen Xuan finally started practicing.

hum!

With a thought, the purple iron shield was fully activated by him.

The moment spiritual power was injected into the purple iron shield, a striking purple light began to flash on the shield.

Almost at the same time, the size of the purple iron shield suddenly increased to more than ten feet in size.

"go with!"

After Chen Xuan shouted loudly, the purple golden shield was completely activated by him.

And in an instant, it flew around Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan was completely protected in the purple iron shield.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan was immediately overjoyed.

After carefully controlling the Purple Iron Shield and getting familiar with it, he finally put it away. Then Chen Xuan activated the Ice Longbow and started to get familiar with it.

……

Five or six years passed in a flash.

During this period, in order to improve my strength as quickly as possible.

Chen Xuan locked onto Senior Brother Ling Yu and said hello, then didn't go to the Kung Fu Transmission Hall anymore.

He devoted himself wholeheartedly to the retreat and practice.

It is precisely because of this that, over the years, he has been able to control the Purple Iron Shield, Ice Longbow, and Flying Cloud Sword with ease.

As for the practice of the Five Elements Immortal Art, the progress is not very fast.

Fortunately, Chen Xuan still has some time, and he plans to use all of the next time to practice the Five Elements Immortal Art.

"The Five Elements Immortal Arts seem to be somewhat similar to the Five Elements spells I learned before. They are Fireball, Earth Spike, Water Arrow, Entanglement, and Golden Armor."

"Among them, the Golden Armor Technique is a defensive technique, the Entanglement Technique is an enemy-binding technique, and the Fireball Technique, Earth Spike Technique, and Water Arrow Technique are all offensive techniques."

"The difference is that the power of magic is far inferior to that of immortal arts."

"The Five Elements Immortal Arts are the same as the Five Elements Magical Arts. They are both necessary for refining spiritual talismans."

"I want to learn how to refine immortal talismans in the future. I must learn these five elements immortal arts!"

Chen Xuan muttered softly and began to study the Five Elements Immortal Art seriously.

Chen Xuan has already mastered the Five Elements Magic mentioned earlier.

Next, what he needs to do is to increase the power of these five elements magic to perfection.

This cannot be achieved through simple understanding.

Instead, it requires cultivators to spend a lot of time practicing.

Time and again, he searches for his own shortcomings in activating the Five Elements Magic.

Only in this way can the power of his Five Elements Magic reach perfection.

Fortunately, time flows extremely fast in Chen Xuan’s Immortal Beast Tower.

Don’t look at it now, there is not much time left before the assessment of menial disciples begins.

Chen Xuan still has plenty of time to practice the Five Elements Immortal Art.

Wow!

In the first level of the Immortal Beast Tower, ice cones, earth spikes, and water arrows were simultaneously shot towards a hill dozens of feet away.

Almost at the same time, a vine as thick as a bowl broke through the ground and directly surrounded the hill.

At this moment, Chen Xuan was covered in a set of golden armor that shone brightly, completely covering himself.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan was immediately overjoyed.

"Has my Five Elements Immortal Art finally reached the state of great perfection?"

"Moreover, I can also cast five-element spells instantly, which is simply not something that ordinary cultivators can do."

"This gives me an extra way to save my life during the upcoming menial disciple assessment!"

Chen Xuan smiled happily.

Just as he was about to continue practicing, a clear bell sound suddenly rang out from the Changsheng Immortal Sect.

Chen Xuan did not dare to delay. He rushed out of the Fairy Beast Tower and headed straight for Neiwu Hall.

When he arrived at Neiwu Hall, he found that many disciples in the Tribulation Crossing Stage had been waiting there for a long time.

Normally, Senior Brother Ling Yu, who was responsible for imparting knowledge about the True Immortal Realm to everyone, was also among them.

However, at this moment, Senior Brother Ling Yu looked solemn.

When he saw Chen Xuan coming over, he just nodded slightly at him and stood with his hands hanging down.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan quickly found a place to stand.

About half a cup of tea later, a loud voice rang out from the inner hall.

"Is everyone here? In that case, I'll just tell you directly."

"The examination for menial disciples, which occurs every hundred years, is about to begin. As menial disciples of my Changsheng Xianzong, are you ready to accept the examination?"
