Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 116 - 114 Peak Master Cultivation

Chapter 116: Chapter 114 Peak Master Cultivation

The next day, Qin Feng went to the Preaching Pavilion.

He had just completed a mission, and having recently advanced to the eighth level of Qi Refinement, it was a time to stabilize his realm, so there was no need to rush to take on other missions.

Besides, he had reaped a considerable harvest from this trip. Not to mention the Spiritual Objects he acquired from those two groups of bandit cultivators, just from the Storage Bags of a few Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivators of Taiyi Mountain, he had obtained a large number of Spirit Stones and various resources, enough to allow him to splurge for a while, so he decided to focus on cultivating well.

Moreover, today was the first day of the lunar month when a Golden Core Elder from Spiritual Snake Peak would visit the Preaching Pavilion to lecture, a chance he certainly did not want to miss.

Since he arrived early, he managed to occupy a cushion in the front row and sat down.

Two quarters of an hour later, Liu Xuanling entered the Preaching Pavilion, her chest held high with pride. Standing on the high platform, she casually glanced downwards and hesitated slightly when she saw Qin Feng.

...

She was the Peak Master of Spiritual Snake Peak, and the various affairs of the peak were reported to her. Last month, she received news from the Foreign Affairs Hall that Qin Feng, a disciple of Spiritual Snake Peak, was killed by a disciple from Taiyi Mountain while on a mission.

She had some impressions of Qin Feng.

Or rather, she had impressions of any disciple whose cultivation progressed well.

For disciples like Qin Feng who managed to advance to the late stage of Qi Refinement within one year of entry, she would pay more attention to see if they were promising candidates for cultivation, worth the focus of Spiritual Snake Peak, and potentially securing an entry spot for the Inner Sect in the major Outer competition.

Although it was a pity that such a disciple died outside, she initially didn’t take it too much to heart.

There were many disciples under Spiritual Snake Peak, and it was common for some to encounter dangers and not return while carrying out missions. She had become accustomed to such occurrences, but she didn’t expect that this individual, who was reported dead, had come back alive.

This made her take another look at Qin Feng, and then her heart stirred.

With her strength, she easily sensed the Ruyi Golden Snake on Qin Feng’s wrist.

As the Peak Master of Spiritual Snake Peak, she was quite familiar with all types of spiritual snakes but had never seen a Ruyi Golden Snake before. She couldn’t help but extend her Divine Sense stealthily to inspect it carefully, confirming that it should indeed be the Ruyi Golden Snake as recorded in the Ten Thousand Snakes Map.

She narrowed her beautiful phoenix eyes in slight surprise, maintaining the pride suited to her role as a Peak Master and began to lecture while sitting cross-legged on the high platform.

For some reason, she abandoned her original plan to explain the scriptures and instead discussed the techniques and experiences of refining the Demon Energy within Lifebound Spiritual Beasts after taming them, disappointing all the Foundation Establishment Disciples who had specially arrived today.

They were already capable of merging with their Lifebound Spiritual Beasts, so listening to such topics at this point was of no use to them.

However, those Qi Refining Realm disciples who were in this stage found it extremely enlightening, including Qin Feng, who also felt greatly benefited.

He was currently worried about the last trace of Demon Energy within the Ruyi Golden Snake that was difficult to dissolve. He thought he would need to further his cultivation to accomplish it, but upon hearing Liu Xuanling’s explanation, he suddenly gained some important insights. It turned out there were such techniques for refining Demon Energy.

Two hours later, Liu Xuanling waved her hand lightly, dismissing everyone.

Then, when Qin Feng was about to leave, she stopped him.

Qin Feng was somewhat stunned but didn’t dare to ask more questions. Under the envious gazes of the other disciples, he obediently stayed where he was.

Those disciples thought Qin Feng had gained the favor of their Peak Master, perhaps preparing to give him special guidance.

It was not uncommon for such events to happen. Several Golden Core Elders had done so before, and some exceptionally talented individuals had even been taken in as disciples by some elders.

Liu Xuanling sat with a dignified bearing on the platform.

There was a hint of indescribable meaning in her eyes as she spoke softly, “Taiyi Mountain has sent word that the only daughter of Elder Jiang Dongliu from Punishment Sword Hall died outside Chaotic Sky Valley, claiming she was ambushed and slain by an Outer Disciple from our Beast Taming Sect. Was this your doing?

You indeed have some guts, daring to ambush Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivators from Taiyi Mountain. I hear Jiang Dongliu was furious, nearly mounting an assault on our Beast Taming Sect.

Of course, that old guy was just posturing; someone at the Purple Mansion Realm doesn’t have the guts for such a bold move.

Should he truly come, I guarantee he wouldn’t step foot within three thousand miles of the Beast Taming Sect without being utterly annihilated.

With the Sect’s protection, we won’t let you youngsters be bullied by those old folk.

Tell me, how did you survive being hunted by so many Foundation Cultivators?”

Liu Xuanling thought highly of this disciple, seeing a bit of herself in his younger days.

During her Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, she often caused trouble and killed far more than Qin Feng had. However, conflicts among these younger generations didn’t usually escalate to the Sect’s higher levels; if the mentors of the killed had complaints, it would be handled by the higher echelons of the Beast Taming Sect.

The mighty Beast Taming Sect was indeed capable of protecting a few troublesome disciples.

Qin Feng gave a wry smile and replied, “Peak Master, with my humble cultivation, how could I dare to ambush Foundation Cultivators. In fact, that Taiyi Mountain female cultivator was not killed by me but by a fellow named Zhuo Feifan.”

“Hmm? Is there internal strife among the Taiyi Mountain disciples?”

Liu Xuanling suddenly became interested.

“It’s like this: Zhuo Feifan and that female had an affair, and she was several months pregnant. However, Zhuo Feifan, aiming for the position of true disciple, was unwilling to marry her at this point.

The two could not resolve their differences, and Zhuo Feifan, being ruthless for his own gain, decided to kill his junior sister in a surprise attack.”

Actually, Zhuo Feifan had not initially intended to kill his junior sister, but Qin Feng certainly wouldn’t defend him and took the opportunity to tarnish his reputation further. It was much more effective to have Liu Xuanling spread the scandal about Zhuo Feifan than to spread it himself.

“Despicable and shameless scoundrels!”

As expected, Liu Xuanling couldn’t help but curse upon hearing the words.

Then, she gritted her silver teeth and said, “There isn’t a single good man in this world.”

“Um…”

Qin Feng was speechless, wondering how he had also been dragged into this.

After Liu Xuanling had a small outburst, she asked, “How did you manage to escape later?”

“To escape, I fed my riding tool, the Spiritual Vulture, a Blood Demon Pill. With the vulture burning its essence blood, its speed was not inferior to those Sword Cultivators, and since we were not far from the Chaotic Sky Valley, I took the risk of rushing into it, hoping to use the dangers of the Ancient Battlefield to shake off those guys.”

“Blood Demon Pill?”

Liu Xuanling slightly furrowed her brows, “Where did you get a Blood Demon Pill?”

“I seized it from a Bandit Cultivator while completing a Sect mission,” Qin Feng explained.

Qin Feng recounted how he had snatched the Blood Demon Pill from the Bandit Leader and then took out the vial of Blood Demon Pills to show Liu Xuanling.

Liu Xuanling stretched out her hand to summon the black jade bottle into her hands, opened it to take a look, nodded, and then casually tossed it back to him.

“What about after that? How did you get rid of those Taiyi Mountain disciples in the Ancient Battlefield?” she asked.

“By accident, I entered a ruinous building with a No-Fly Array. As the effects of the Blood Demon Pill wore off, my mount could no longer fly, so I decided to use the No-Fly Array to dodge their pursuit. Later, when climbing the mountain, I encountered a small lake where a Heavenly Connecting Lotus was growing…”

“Heavenly Connecting Lotus?”

Liu Xuanling suddenly stood up and moved quickly to his front, her breath somewhat hurried, her chest heaving up and down, and she looked down at Qin Feng who was sitting on the cushion and asked, “Are you sure it’s the Heavenly Connecting Lotus, no, how did you even know about the Heavenly Connecting Lotus?”

“Um…”

Qin Feng felt that looking up at two large mountains was somewhat disrespectful to the beautiful Peak Master, so he quickly stood up from the ground.

Then, feeling that he was a bit too close to the Peak Master, he took a step back before speaking, “Actually, I don’t recognize that lotus either. It was those Taiyi Mountain Sword Cultivators who said so. I was paying close attention to them with my Divine Sense, so I heard it clearly.

One of them even mentioned an Ancient True Monarch who used the leaves of the Heavenly Connecting Lotus to make numerous Death Replacement Talismans. Later, one of those Taiyi disciples grew greedy, entered the lake to pick them, and then mysteriously sank into the lake and never surfaced again.”

“I see.”

Liu Xuanling nodded, asked again about the appearance of that lotus meticulously, and finally confirmed without a doubt that it was the Heavenly Connecting Lotus. Pleased, she nodded again, seemed a bit distracted as she sat back down, and then asked him about subsequent events.

Qin Feng did not dare to conceal too much from the Peak Master. He discussed his entry into the Cave Mansion, how the Taiyi Mountain disciples triggered the Prohibitions within the mansion, and apart from Zhuo Feifan who escaped with a Secret Treasure, the rest were all killed by the mansion’s Prohibitions.

However, he did not mention that he had refined the Void Shattering Hammer Cave Mansion, just that he had luckily avoided the Prohibition’s attacks by hiding on a stone platform. After Zhuo Feifan had disappeared, he quickly left there, healed his injuries, and only then returned to the Sect.

“Alright, I understand.”

Liu Xuanling pondered for a moment before saying, “You mustn’t spread this incident, including the matter of Zhuo Feifan killing his fellow disciple.

That guy is just an Inner Sect Disciple, not really significant. Even if you use this incident to ruin his reputation and let Jiang Dongliu kill him, it won’t cause any substantive loss to Taiyi Mountain.

As such, there’s no need to leak this matter now.

Hmph, he wants to compete for the True Inheritance position of Taiyi Mountain, right? Maybe we can help him by eliminating a few of his competitors and aiding his ascent.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng immediately understood, “The Peak Master means, once he becomes a True Disciple, then use this as leverage…”

Liu Xuanling glanced at him with a hint of a smile on her lips, “Correct, you are quite clever.”

Qin Feng chuckled in agreement but said nothing.

“As for the Heavenly Connecting Lotus, it’s not something I can handle.”

Liu Xuanling thought for a moment and said, “Zhuo Feifan will surely inform his Sect elders when he returns. Maybe some from Taiyi Mountain have already rushed there. I’ll go to the Inner Sect now and discuss this matter with my master, and let the Sect handle it.”

As she spoke, she stood up, looked at Qin Feng, nodding in approval, “You’ve done well this time, and you will receive your reward.

Cultivate diligently, and I will list you as a promising disciple of the Spiritual Snake Peak to nurture. If you can make it into the Inner Sect through the Outer Disciple Competition within ten years, I will take you as my apprentice.”

Qin Feng was overjoyed, “Thank you, Peak Master, for your cultivation. I will definitely cultivate diligently and not disappoint your expectations.”

“Alright, off you go.”

Liu Xuanling nodded and waved her hand, indicating that Qin Feng could leave.

Qin Feng respectfully bowed and took his leave.

As soon as he left, Liu Xuanling directly mounted a stream of Light Escape, flying straight to the Inner Mountain Gate.
