FVN Chapter 42: Beast Taming Sect
Chapter 42: Beast Taming Sect
Sanlukou Fangshi.
Li Wu and his group temporarily rented a courtyard to stay in.
Li Wu sat in the courtyard, holding a scroll in his hands, which recorded the changes in Guang'an County over the past fifty years.
This gave him a more concrete understanding of the power distribution in Guang'an County.
"Besides the Wu family, who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage, there are three other Foundation Establishment forces in Guang'an Prefecture: Changxi Sect, Beast Taming Sect, and Xiayun Temple."
Among them, Changxi Sect is the strongest, with its sect leader possessing the strength of the late Foundation Establishment stage, while the most unique sect is Beast Taming Sect.
Although the sect leader is only a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, it is said that the opponent also has a Foundation Establishment stage fire python, whose strength is extremely formidable.
"The Beast Taming Sect... is quite interesting."
Li Wu was very interested in the method of contracting demonic beasts by the Beast Taming Sect.
"I might visit them if I have the chance."
The Beast Taming Sect is located at [Qianyuan Peak], which is only about 300 miles away from the Sanlukou Market.
However, Li Wu had not yet decided on what identity to use to visit, or how to find something that would interest the other party.
"Beast taming... to pique their interest, you need to focus on things related to demonic beasts."
"I can't find it in this realm, but I can look for the realm of Qi gathering."
Li Wu suddenly remembered that the Qi family made their living by dealing in spiritual items related to demonic beasts.
"I've been hiding here for so long, I wonder what the Purple Mansion Immortal's reaction is over there."
…………
Gas extraction area.
Li Wu kept a close watch on the surrounding mountains.
"Let's go check on the Qi family first."
Li Wu hurried along the way, and it took him quite a few days to reach the Qi family's Guangling Mountain.
The people who came out to greet him were junior members of the Qi family, whom Li Wu did not recognize. After following them up the mountain, Li Wu asked:
"Is Qi Yu not on the mountain?"
The younger generation of the Qi family cupped their hands and said:
"I just returned to the mountain yesterday."
Upon hearing this, Li Wuwei nodded slightly, indicating that he was fine staying on the mountain.
"Take me to see him."
…………
In the small courtyard.
Qi Yu brought Ning Que back after he had fainted and was looking at him with a worried expression.
"What should we do?"
He knew that Ning Que would probably go to the Qi family to fight to the death once he woke up, but he was a Qi Refining cultivator who practiced the "Mountain Clear Qi Technique," a technique that was almost impossible to achieve Foundation Establishment.
Seeking revenge is like an ant trying to shake a tree.
He's courting death.
Just as Qi Yu was at his wit's end, a shout came from outside:
"Brother Qi!"
The familiar voice made his eyes light up, as if he had grasped the last straw, and he quickly ran out.
"Brother Li, you're back!"
Seeing Qi Yu's flustered state, Li Wu wondered what had happened and asked in confusion:
"What's wrong?"
"Brother Li, I'm currently facing a very difficult situation."
Then, Qi Yu briefly explained the whole story.
"etc."
Li Wu suddenly raised his hand to stop him, then repeated incredulously:
"You mean, the Qi family patriarch wants to refine Ning Miao into a human pill to help him refine his third divine ability?"
Qi Yu was taken aback, not understanding why Li Wuwei was reacting so strongly, but still nodded and said:
"That's right."
"Why? Didn't the Qi family patriarch accept Ning Miao as his disciple?"
Li Wu couldn't understand why Ning Miao, a Purple Mansion seed who was almost certain to become a Purple Mansion True Person, would be refined into a pill.
"Brother Li, have you ever considered that the Qi family gave her the [Cold Qi] cultivation technique, the Qi family patriarch took her as his disciple, and invested so much resources, all so that she could break through to the Foundation Establishment stage as soon as possible and then refine her into pills?"
Qi Yu shook his head and, in the calmest tone, uttered the cruelest truth of the world.
"For those Purple Mansion True Persons, nothing in the world is as important as cultivating the Five Divine Powers and then attaining the Golden Core status."
"Because only by forging that strand of golden essence can one truly live as long as the heavens."
"And the quickest way to refine supernatural powers is to use the pills made from the foundation-building cultivators of the corresponding path."
"Nine out of ten Purple Mansion True Persons use this method."
Li Wu's expression was solemn. He hadn't expected that the schemes of these Purple Mansion True Persons would be so heartless.
These immortal cultivators probably have no humanity left.
"How is Ning Que now?" Li Wu asked.
Qi Yu shook his head and sighed:
"He has fainted and has not yet woken up."
"What I'm worried about now is that once Brother Ning wakes up, he might go after the Qi family and fight them to the death."
Li Wuwei nodded slightly. Given the relationship between the two siblings, this was almost a foregone conclusion.
"With his current strength, if he went to the Qi family, he probably wouldn't even be able to get past their mountain gate."
As a Purple Mansion Immortal Clan, any Qi Refining disciple in the Qi Clan is probably stronger than Ning Que.
"Regardless, let's wait for Ning Que to wake up first."
There was no better solution at the moment, so Li Wu could only wait until he woke up before discussing it further.
Then he changed the subject:
"Brother Qi, I'd like to buy a few demonic beasts from you."
"Of course, which one do you want?"
After a moment's thought, Li Wusi spoke:
"It doesn't need to be very strong, but it needs to be special enough."
"special……"
Qi Yu frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly remembered something and said:
"I do have a special kind of insect here; see if it's feasible."
After saying that, a white light appeared in his hand, revealing a jade box. Upon opening it, he found two black-gold beetles sleeping inside.
"This is the [Gold-Devouring Insect], which feeds on various ores. Its strength is average, which is why it is used by various families to find mineral veins."
Upon hearing that this little insect could actually find mineral veins on its own, Li Wu's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly, saying:
"Not bad, this is a good item. I'll take it. How many spirit stones?"
"These two are a male and a female. Thirty spirit stones will do, and I'll also give you a cultivation method scroll."
Thirty spirit stones can not only yield two gold-devouring insects, one male and one female, but also the method of raising them.
It is obvious that Qi Yu did this intentionally.
Li Wu readily paid the spirit stones, took the jade box and the cultivation method, and carefully put them away.
"Brother Qi is very righteous. If you ever need anything in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."
Qi Yu waved his hand and said:
"Why are we talking about this?"
The two not only had a good relationship, but Li Wu also had intertwined interests with the Qi family, so there was no need to say more.
"By the way, Brother Li, are you aware that there are suddenly many Buddhist cultivators in the Yue Kingdom?" Qi Yu suddenly remembered something and asked.
After all, Li Wu had just returned from the Buddhist and Taoist realm.
Upon hearing this, Li Wu frowned slightly and said in a deep voice:
"Tell me more about it."
Qi Yu then said:
"Sigh, it seems I've been targeted by Shi Xiu."
In Li Wu's eyes, Qi Yu was just an ordinary early-stage Qi Refining cultivator. Why were those opportunistic Buddhist cultivators eyeing him?
Unless, Qi Yu has some secret.
Thinking of this, Li Wu asked:
Why are they staring at you?
Qi Yu naturally wouldn't reveal his secret, but simply shook his head and said:
"I don't know either, maybe it's because I'm good-looking?"
Seeing that he was unwilling to answer, Li Wu did not press him further, after all, everyone has their own secrets.
