Chapter 32 Spirit Beast Pavilion
After the formation class ended, Xu Lingling suddenly said listlessly, "I really envy you guys. I also want to go to the Fallen Dragon Mansion."
Xu Ziqing glanced at her best friend: "Didn't your uncle take you to the Meteor Dragon Mansion a few times?"
"It's different," Xu Lingling muttered.
She went to the Meteor Dragon Palace simply for sightseeing and fun, while Xu Ziqing and the other person went there to form a contract with a Fellow Beast; the two were incomparable.
"Don't worry, you'll catch up with us soon," Chen Beiwu reassured him.
"How did you know? Do you know fortune telling, Chen Beiwu?" Xu Lingling perked up.
"I can't tell fortunes," Chen Beiwu shook his head, "but I believe in my uncle's abilities."
Even a small amount of resources left by a Golden Core cultivator can greatly benefit a Foundation Establishment cultivator, let alone a Qi Refining cultivator.
If her uncle was willing, Chen Beiwu wouldn't be surprised if Xu Lingling broke through from the fifth level of Qi Refining to the seventh level within a month.
Upon hearing this, Xu Lingling choked, unsure of what to say, and slumped dejectedly onto the table.
She had considered taking pills to break through her limits, but her elders at home wouldn't allow it and insisted that she cultivate the "Yang-Nourishing Method" to improve the purity of her spiritual root.
"Did your homeroom teacher inform you?" Xu Ziqing smiled gently.
"I've been notified. We'll meet at the school playground at 7:00 AM tomorrow. The Dean of Students will lead the group." Chen Beiwu waved his hand and got up to leave under the watchful eyes of the two girls.
……
The next morning, Chen Beiwu got up early and rushed to Shouhe No. 2 Middle School.
As he approached the school playground, he noticed eight young men and women standing near the lawn, each forming two small groups and chatting together.
As students from the same school, Chen Beiwu naturally knew many of the school's prominent figures.
The handsome boy leading the group was named Lin Yi, a senior in his fifth year of high school. He was nineteen years old, at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and possessed a true spiritual root of the wood element. He was the son of the school's dean of students.
The lively girl leading the group is named Sun Yajing, a senior in her fifth year of high school. She is nineteen years old, at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and possesses a fire-attribute true spiritual root. She is one of only two students in the school to enter the ranks of weapon forging masters, and is considered Xu Ziqing's senior sister.
Noticing someone approaching, the girls who were chatting happily immediately looked up in the direction of Chen Beiwu.
"Qingqing, your good classmate is here." Sun Yajing nudged Xu Ziqing, teasingly asking, "Aren't you going to introduce her?"
Despite being stared at by several young female students, Chen Beiwu remained calm and politely greeted them.
"No need for introductions. At only sixteen years old, he has already broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining. Who at Shouhe No. 2 Middle School doesn't know the name of junior Chen Beiwu?" Lin Yi smiled politely, then turned to look in the direction of the teaching building.
"Is everyone here?" A middle-aged cultivator with an air of otherworldly wisdom walked over.
"Director Lin, everyone's here," Lin Yi said.
"Very good." Director Lin nodded in satisfaction, and with a slight thought, took out an exquisite jade-like flying shuttle spiritual artifact from his storage ring.
"rise!"
As Director Lin released his magic power to activate it, the flying shuttle artifact rapidly expanded in size, transforming in the blink of an eye into a magnificent silver-white flying shuttle about five zhang long.
"Everyone, you can go up now." After saying that, Director Lin was the first to step onto the shuttle.
Following behind Xu Ziqing, Chen Beiwu stood on the flying shuttle without any attempt to hide his curiosity.
Xu Ziqing leaned closer and asked, "You really like flying shuttle magical artifacts?"
"Yes." Chen Beiwu nodded.
Xu Ziqing's eyes darted around, and she pretended to be nonchalant, saying, "I have a few flying shuttle magical artifacts at home. If you have time, we can ride them together to Jingyuan Lake for a spring outing."
"Then there's no need," Chen Beiwu said with a smile.
"Huh?" Xu Ziqing was taken aback.
The Spirit Beast Pavilion is located in Jinyang County, Yunlong Prefecture, nestled in an unnamed immortal mountain shrouded in clouds and mist, covering a vast area.
After more than an hour's flight, Chen Beiwu and his group finally arrived at their destination.
Looking at the islands floating in the sky in the distance, which resembled a fairyland, Chen Beiwu couldn't help but reveal a hint of amazement.
"Is this the Spirit Beast Pavilion?"
Just then, a beam of light descended from the nameless immortal mountain, moving the entire shuttle to the nearest checkpoint.
"Welcome to the Spirit Beast Pavilion, everyone. I am Wei Lian, the deputy deacon of the Spirit Beast Pavilion, in charge of this inspection." A young cultivator in a long robe stepped forward.
Soon, after a complicated inspection, Chen Beiwu and his group arrived at the main hall of the Spirit Beast Pavilion under the guidance of Steward Wei.
"You should know very well from all the beast taming classes you've taken that a cultivator's spiritual root aptitude is hard to change and cannot be chosen, but the same applies to beasts," Director Lin solemnly reminded them.
"The right companion beast is crucial for a cultivator's future cultivation. If you choose the right one, even with ordinary spiritual roots, your cultivation path can be twice as effective; but if you choose the wrong one, even with superior spiritual roots, you will be ruining your own path."
At this point, Director Lin looked around at the students' faces and said, "Therefore, you must be careful when choosing your companion beasts. Try to select spirit beasts with the same spiritual root attribute as yourselves. Do you understand?"
"Understood," everyone replied in unison.
"Very good." Director Lin nodded slightly and looked at Wei Lian. "I'll leave the rest to Deacon Wei."
"It's my duty." Deacon Wei waved his hand casually, and several streams of light immediately floated in front of Chen Beiwu and the others.
"These jade slips are your identity documents and also your passes, valid for half a month."
It can connect with the spirit of the Spirit Beast Pavilion to answer your questions. If you have any questions, simply touch the jade slip with your divine sense to ask.
You are now free to visit the Spirit Beast Pavilion and contract the spirit beasts you desire.
Taking the warm, smooth jade slip, Chen Beiwu looked at Xu Ziqing and asked, "What kind of companion beast do you plan to contract?"
"The Crimson Flame Fox, Fire Feather Crow, Crimson Tail Sparrow, and Flame Fang Tiger are all quite good. I plan to start testing with the Crimson Flame Fox to see which second-tier spirit beast is more suitable for me. What about you?" she asked curiously.
"I plan to take a look at the Azure Spirit Salamander first, and then go check out the Netherworld Spirit Turtle and the Azure Wave Spirit Carp," Chen Beiwu said thoughtfully.
He wasn't very satisfied with any of the three second-tier spirit beasts and wanted to make a decision after getting to know them.
After all, having multiple choices is crucial to one's future path, so having more options makes things more secure.
Just then, Lin Yi suddenly walked over and invited, "Qingqing, do you want to go to Irregular Reef Island together?"
"Shouldn't you be going to Qingluo Island?" Xu Ziqing asked, puzzled.
Lin Yi smiled and said, "Sun Yajing already has a suitable target. I plan to go and join in the fun first. Anyway, we have half a month to choose."
Xu Ziqing smiled and said, "Sorry, I plan to accompany a friend to Xuanpu Island first."
Hearing this, Lin Yi turned away dejectedly, feeling both resentment and a sense of understanding and relief.
Compared to Chen Beiwu, he was indeed far inferior.
Chen Beiwu looked at Xu Ziqing in surprise.
"What, is that not allowed?" Xu Ziqing said with a sweet smile, "I want to accompany you to stroll around Xuanpu Island for a while first."
"Of course." Chen Beiwu naturally wouldn't spoil the mood.
