Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

Chapter 171: Chapter 169: First Entry into the Inner Sect Chapter 171: Chapter 169: First Entry into the Inner Sect “Sure thing, sure thing.”

Steward Zhou suppressed the joy in his heart and hastily agreed.

It would definitely be of great benefit to him to close such a large deal, as it would not only earn him the appreciation of the Elders in the pavilion but also ensure a substantial reward at the end of the year.

Steward Zhou steadied his spirit and reached to pick up a several hundred year-old Jade Ginseng, observing it for a few moments.

Seeing the whole ginseng brimming with spiritual energy and the rich medicinal fragrance, he couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.

With each spiritual object he inspected, he would state its uses and approximate price.

This was the special expertise of managers like him.

These managers of the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion might not have strong cultivation or outstanding combat power, but the eye for detail and experience they honed from years of handling various spiritual objects was truly extraordinary.

…

Ultimately, when he tallied the prices of all the items, the total value came to 328,000 Spirit Stones, which was slightly higher than what Qin Feng had estimated himself.

Steward Zhou was in an excellent mood and said to Qin Feng, “Since Junior Brother Qin is from our own Sect, I won’t haggle with you.

I’ll round up the total for these items to 330,000 Spirit Stones, how about it?”

Qin Feng nodded, “Alright, we’ll go with the price Brother has said.”

He knew that the Sect’s enterprises actually took care of their own disciples to a great extent, so he didn’t bargain and agreed immediately.

“Brother is straightforward.”

After all, such a large sum of Spirit Stones was not something a Foundation Establishment Manager could decide on alone.

It had to be approved by the Elders in the pavilion before it could be drawn from the treasury.

After he got the 330,000 Spirit Stones and handed them over to Qin Feng, only then did he have people come in to sort and send the spiritual objects to their respective storerooms.

“If you have more good items in the future, feel free to come to Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion and look for me.

I’ll make sure you get a satisfactory price,” Steward Zhou earnestly said to Qin Feng before leaving.

After all, such a major client was rare.

Usually, only influential powers could engage in such large transactions, and those powers would be personally received by higher-level Grand Managers and Elders from the pavilion.

Ordinary managers like themselves could only attend to common cultivators.

And among the common cultivators, few would throw around as much as Qin Feng did.

Qin Feng responded with a smile, “Thanks to Senior Brother Zhou’s care, if I do come across any treasures in the future, I’ll surely trouble Brother again.”

Of course, this was just a polite remark.

Even Steward Zhou himself didn’t believe that Qin Feng would have the chance to acquire such an abundance of spiritual objects again in a short time, since there weren’t that many secret realms for him to explore.

However, Steward Zhou was still overjoyed.

If not now, that didn’t mean it would be the same in the future.

Perhaps there would come a day when Qin Feng would again bring in a large quantity of spiritual objects.

If he was able to conduct several more transactions like this one, he would certainly be promoted to a higher position within the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion.

Qin Feng left the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion satisfied with the Spirit Stones in hand.

Initially, his first thought upon obtaining the Spirit Stones was to buy a top-level bloodline Spiritual Beast for fusion to enhance his own Spiritual Beasts’ strengths, but now he hesitated.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to buy, but that it was somewhat difficult to choose between the Swallowing Sky Toad and the Ruyi Golden Snake on which to cultivate first.

Logically, he should choose the Ruyi Golden Snake first since it was his Lifebound Spiritual Beast.

But the Swallowing Sky Toad, being his first Spiritual Beast and having been with him for the longest time, also held a significant place in his heart.

The Swallowing Sky Toad had consumed many treasures in the secret realm, including the bodies of various Demon Beasts along with numerous heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

If it had not yet advanced to Foundation Establishment, it was because it had too much to digest recently, and it was still processing everything.

Once all the items in its belly were converted to energy in a few days, it would certainly advance to Foundation Establishment.

Once the Swallowing Sky Toad broke through in cultivation realm, its strength would surely rise significantly, and it wouldn’t remain in the ambiguous position it held in the secret realm, where it hadn’t been of much use.

And if it was to fuse with the Divine Skills of other Spiritual Toads, its combat power would surely soar.

As for the spells like Water Control and the Cold Ice Arrow – their power was average, hardly matching its reputation.

However, if he helped the Swallowing Sky Toad to fuse, then the Ruyi Golden Snake would be postponed.

After all, top-level bloodline Spiritual Beasts were expensive.

Although his gains in the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm were not small, they weren’t enough to buy two top-level bloodline Spiritual Beasts.

Frowning, Qin Feng thought long and hard but couldn’t decide.

Eventually, he shook his head, resigned – the Swallowing Sky Toad still needed a few more days to advance, so there was no need to rush.

He decided to return to the Spiritual Snake Peak to think it over and make a decision after the Swallowing Sky Toad had advanced.

Even if he wanted to fuse top-level bloodline into the Swallowing Sky Toad, it would have to reach a comparable cultivation realm first, otherwise, what if the fusion failed and the toad burst as a result?

Liu Xuanling had also told him that he would explain the Foundation Establishment Technique to him in a few days, so now he needed to properly sort out his own cultivation path.

He had no plans to leave the Mountain Gate in the near future and wasn’t in a hurry to fuse bloodlines or improve combat power for his Spiritual Beasts.

However, he found it strange that several days had passed and Liu Xuanling had not come to find him.

He wondered what the Peak Master was busy with.

While Qin Feng was somewhat puzzled by this, he wasn’t particularly concerned.

Since a Golden Core Elder would come to the Preaching Pavilion to preach every month, he could just ask for guidance then.

He had only just achieved Foundation Establishment, and even the True Yuan in his Dantian wasn’t fully accumulated yet, so his current cultivation was mainly about accumulating True Yuan.

On this day, Qin Feng was meditating and refining Qi when he suddenly heard a knock at the door.

Qin Feng slowly ceased his cultivation, wondering who could be seeking him out at this time.

Releasing his Divine Sense to probe outside the courtyard, he saw a slightly plump young cultivator standing at the door.

The cultivator seemed to sense Qin Feng’s Divine Sense probing and responded with a slight smile visible to the sense, displaying a radiant smile, “Qin Feng, I am Hao Shicheng, an Inner Sect Disciple.

I have been instructed by my teacher to summon you to meet with the Inner Sect.”

“Inner Sect Disciple?”

Qin Feng was taken aback and, not daring to be negligent, quickly got up, opened the courtyard door, and greeted the plump cultivator with a slight bow, “Please come in, Senior Brother.

May I inquire which Elder is your teacher and what matter brings you to me?”

Hao Shicheng gave a light laugh, “I am the second senior brother to your Peak Master; thus, my master is also your Peak Master’s master.”

This revelation startled Qin Feng.

He inwardly cursed himself for speaking without thinking; since this man was Liu Xuanling’s Senior Brother, he must be at least at the Golden Core Realm.

Knowing that the other party was from the Inner Sect, he shouldn’t have carelessly called him Senior Brother.

He glanced at the Inner Sect Disciple before him, who appeared amiable and seemed unfazed by his address, which silently relieved Qin Feng.

Then he heard Hao Shicheng continue, “As for the exact reason my master summoned you, I’m unaware.

He didn’t say, so it wouldn’t be right for me to ask.

You needn’t worry about anything; my master’s temperament is one of the better ones among the Elders of the Inner Sect, and given his status, he wouldn’t trouble a junior like you unnecessarily.

If you don’t have other matters, come with me so as not to keep my master waiting.”

“Disciple obeys.”

Qin Feng replied, closed the courtyard door, and walked over to Hao Shicheng’s side. S~eaʀᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Next, he saw Hao Shicheng sweep his large sleeve, and a gentle force wrapped around him.

By the time he steadied himself, they were standing on the back of a huge snake stretching over a dozen yards long.

The giant snake flicked its long tail and swiftly slithered through the void toward the direction of the Inner Sect.

This was Qin Feng’s first entry into the Inner Sect.

In truth, among the countless disciples of the Beast Taming Sect’s Outer Sect, very few had the opportunity to enter the Inner Sect.

Usually even if flying in mid-air, Outer Disciples were not allowed to fly directly over the Inner Sect.

To reach the other side of the Mountain Gate, one had to circle around the peaks of the periphery.

As they passed through an invisible barrier, Qin Feng’s vision suddenly brightened.

Each peak within the Inner Sect stood more majestic and exquisite compared to the Outer Sect, not to mention that the Spiritual Energy was several times more abundant, and various rare exotic grasses and precious Spiritual Wood were found everywhere.

Moreover, between the mountains roamed numerous rare Exotic Beasts, and from time to time, various Spiritual Beasts flew across the sky.

In just a short moment, Qin Feng had already seen dozens of Spiritual Beasts rare in the outside world.

For Hao Shicheng, such sights were commonplace; he seemed indifferent to the varied Spiritual Beasts along the way, guiding the Spiritual Snake directly toward Heavenly Snake Ridge.

When they arrived outside the seemingly simple courtyard, Qin Feng was somewhat surprised; during their flight over, he had seen magnificent palaces and splendid towers on many peaks.

He had not expected that Liu Xuanling’s master would live in such a modest, even to say rudimentary place, which appeared less luxurious than his quarters at Spiritual Snake Peak.

“Master, I have brought Qin Feng.”

Hao Shicheng called toward the inside of the house.

Without waiting for a response, he led Qin Feng inside.

In the room, Ning Wuxu put down the Daoist Book he was holding, and his calm eyes turned toward Qin Feng.

His gaze was not sharp, nor did it carry the majesty of a superior; however, Qin Feng still felt as if he could see through all of his secrets, causing a tremor in his heart.

Fortunately, Ning Wuxu quickly picked up on his discomfort and let out a light chuckle, blinking gently.

Instantly, that penetrating sensation vanished, allowing Qin Feng to relax completely.

“Junior Qin Feng greets the Elder.”

Qin Feng was unsure how to address the person before him, but since he was Liu Xuanling’s master and at least of Elder Level in the Inner Sect, such an address should be appropriate.

Ning Wuxu smiled, waved his hand, and pointed to the cushion nearby, saying, “Sit.”

“Yes.”

Although Qin Feng was still somewhat reserved, he obediently sat down.

In the presence of a being with such profound Dao Cultivation, it was best to be obedient rather than trying to be clever by acting humble or declining, which could instead be annoying.

“I’ve heard about you from Xuanling.

It was you who discovered the Heavenly Connecting Lotus, wasn’t it?”

Ning Wuxu smiled and, without waiting for his response, continued, “A few days ago, I also heard from Luo Zhancheng about what you did in the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm.

Very good.

A young man with both courage and wisdom, and even more rare, some strategic acumen.

I am quite satisfied.”
