I cultivate the Chaos Technique

Zhang Yifan stood behind a towering tree in the Black Forest, his divine sense quietly expanding to take in a fierce battle in the distance. On the battlefield, a level seven demonic beast, a twin-tailed human-faced scorpion, was locked in combat with several spirit beasts. This demonic beast was entirely black and shiny, its tail over ten feet long, and each of its fierce strikes was accompanied by a piercing whistling sound, as if it were tearing the air apart.

The disciples of the Beast Taming Sect were driving several spirit beasts to fight fiercely, but even though the spirit beasts were quite powerful, they still couldn't budge the Twin-Tailed Human-Faced Scorpion in the slightest. Zhang Yifan couldn't help but frown slightly, thinking to himself, "This Twin-Tailed Human-Faced Scorpion is indeed extraordinary. These level five and six spirit beasts alone are not enough to defeat it."

His gaze carefully surveyed the battle, noticing that the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect were struggling to hold on. Their spirit pets were a level five **Earth-Splitting Rhinoceros** and **Purple-Scaled Tiger**, as well as a level six **Thunderfire Leopard**, **Golden-Winged Eagle**, and **Giant Python Spirit Snake**. Although these spirit pets each had their own unique characteristics, facing such powerful level seven demonic beasts, the battle was becoming increasingly difficult.

"These spirit beasts are strong in both offense and defense, especially the Thunderfire Leopard and the Golden-Winged Eagle, which are extremely fast and have sharp attacks," Zhang Yifan thought to himself. However, he also knew that the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect did not have the cultivation to fully unleash the potential of their spirit pets. Moreover, the venom of the Twin-Tailed Human-Faced Scorpion was extremely potent; once struck by its tail, one would surely die on the spot.

"The Beast Taming Sect...it seems they've really run into big trouble." Zhang Yifan's lips curled slightly as he pondered to himself. At this moment, he knew he was in the best position to secretly control the situation. Suddenly, Li Taixu's voice rang in his mind: "Although the Beast Taming Sect's spirit beasts aren't very famous in Qingzhou, their skill in taming spirit beasts is quite outstanding throughout the entire Tianyuan Continent. If you can seize this opportunity to obtain a spirit beast with divine beast blood, your future cultivation will definitely be much smoother."

"Divine beast bloodline..." Zhang Yifan's heart skipped a beat, filled with excitement. The Beast Taming Sect's methods of cultivating spirit beasts were renowned throughout the continent. If he could truly obtain a spirit beast with extraordinary bloodline from them, his future prospects would be limitless. However, his face remained calm, as if all of this had nothing to do with him.

As he was secretly plotting, an old man among the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect suddenly straightened up, his eyes scanning around, and then a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Holy Maiden! A divine sense has swept over us. Judging from the strength of the divine sense, that person is also a Nascent Soul cultivator. If he can lend a hand, we will surely be able to escape!" The old man quickly transmitted his voice, his tone carrying a hint of solemnity.

The old man was Li Quan, an early-stage Nascent Soul elder of the Beast Taming Sect, responsible for protecting this group of Beast Taming Sect disciples. As a Nascent Soul cultivator, he was extremely sensitive to the movements around him, and although Zhang Yifan concealed his divine sense, he was still detected by him.

The woman standing in the center of the battle, commanding the spirit pets, was none other than Hu Yiman, the Holy Maiden of the Beast Taming Sect. Upon hearing this, her gaze sharpened, a hint of tension and anticipation flashing through her heart.

"The divine sense of a Nascent Soul cultivator? Could there be other experts from other sects in this Black Forest?" Hu Yiman understood that if this Nascent Soul cultivator was willing to lend a hand, the current crisis might truly be resolved.

She raised her head, her expression quickly becoming respectful, and said loudly, "May I ask which senior is here? We disciples of the Beast Taming Sect are currently facing a powerful enemy, and we beg for your assistance. Afterwards, our Beast Taming Sect is willing to allow you to choose any unclaimed spirit beast within our sect as your pet!"

Huiman's voice pierced through the battlefield's clamor and reached Zhang Yifan's ears clearly. Upon hearing this, Zhang Yifan's lips curled slightly, and he thought to himself, "It seems they've already noticed my presence. The time has come; it's time to reveal myself."

Li Taixu's voice rang in Zhang Yifan's mind again, with a hint of teasing: "You're quite patient, kid, but you still have to act when the time comes, after all, spirit beasts are rare treasures."

Zhang Yifan's heart stirred; he knew Li Taixu was right. If this opportunity was seized well, not only could he win the favor of the Beast Taming Sect, but he could also gain a top-grade spirit beast. How could he miss it?

Despite his inner excitement, Zhang Yifan maintained a calm and composed demeanor. He slowly emerged from the shadows, his figure gradually becoming visible, and stood serenely not far from the battlefield, his gaze as calm as still water.

"So it's Senior Sister Hu from the Beast Taming Sect. No problem, no problem." Zhang Yifan chuckled softly, his voice not loud, but carrying a unique composure and confidence.

Upon hearing this, Hu Yiman quickly turned around. Seeing the newcomer, her face immediately showed surprise and delight. Although Zhang Yifan only had the cultivation of the early Golden Core stage, he had defeated Ling Yundao of the Lingyun Sword Sect, a Golden Core Grand Perfection cultivator, with only the early Golden Core stage cultivation. Hu Yiman herself was only at the late Golden Core stage. She then greeted him warmly, saying, "So it's Junior Brother Zhang from the Lingyun Sword Sect! Junior Brother Zhang, thank you for showing up to help. We are struggling against this ferocious and difficult double-tailed human-faced scorpion. We hope Junior Brother Zhang can lend us a hand."

Zhang Yifan nodded slightly, a hint of a smile in his eyes, though his heart was already in turmoil. He knew this was the perfect opportunity to seize control of the situation. And Huiman's plea for help was precisely the chance for him to profit further.

"Holy Maiden, there's no need for such formalities. We are all from the Qingzhou sect, of the same lineage, and should support each other. However, the agreement we made earlier about choosing any spirit beast as a pet still stands." Zhang Yifan maintained a calm demeanor on the surface, but inwardly he was carefully calculating how to maximize his gains from this incident.

Hearing his words, Hu Yiman felt slightly relieved, but still sensed the critical situation. Her eyes flashed, and she said sincerely, "Since Junior Brother Zhang is willing to lend a hand, I thank you! If Junior Brother Zhang can help us defeat this Twin-Tailed Human-Faced Scorpion, I, your senior sister, will offer you a spirit beast of your choice as a reward after the secret realm, provided it is an unclaimed spirit beast."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yifan's heart skipped a beat, and he could hardly contain his excitement. He had long heard of the rarity and value of the spirit beasts of the Beast Taming Sect, especially those with divine beast bloodlines, which were considered the most coveted treasures among cultivators.

"Haha, kid, this is a fantastic opportunity!" Li Taixu's voice rang out again, clearly quite satisfied with the reward. "The spirit beasts of the Beast Taming Sect are extraordinary, especially those spirit pets that may have the bloodline of divine beasts. If you can obtain them, your cultivation will surely be twice as effective!"

Zhang Yifan was secretly delighted, knowing this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. However, he maintained his calm and composed demeanor, smiling slightly: "Since the Holy Maiden is so kind, I, Zhang, would certainly not dare to refuse. However, this is all due to the friendship between fellow disciples, the Holy Maiden need not be so polite."

Seeing his humility, Hu Yiman's goodwill towards Zhang Yifan increased, and she said even more sincerely, "Junior Brother Zhang, the Beast Taming Sect is extremely grateful for your help at this time. We will definitely repay you handsomely after this matter is over."

Zhang Yifan nodded, smiled slightly, but his eyes held a hidden sharpness. He knew he had the situation under control; now it was time to demonstrate his strength. And the generous reward—the spirit beast from the Beast Taming Sect—was already his.

Despite his burning anticipation, Zhang Yifan maintained a composed demeanor, as if everything was under his control. Though his inner excitement was difficult to suppress, his expression remained calm and collected, like that of a seasoned hunter.
