Chapter 42 The Name of the Golden Egg
"Gurgle."
As the golden light faded, Chen Beiwu could see that Huang Jinlin's seemingly dim-witted eyes had become noticeably more lively and submissive.
The most outstanding advantage of the Golden Scale is not its divine sense, but its super strong defense, which is difficult for other spirit beasts of the same level to overcome.
With such an impenetrable beast protecting him, his future survivability will definitely be maximized.
"Your scales are like gold, so from now on I'll call you Golden Egg."
Sensing the awe emanating from the Tongcan Seal, Chen Beiwu couldn't help but pat the plump belly of the golden scales and give it a name.
The golden egg and the golden elixir differ by only one syllable, yet they represent Chen Beiwu's expectations for his future path.
"Gurgle."
Golden Egg blinked its fish eyes in confusion, its mouth opening and closing repeatedly.
It didn't know what had just happened; all it knew was that it was hungry.
Chen Beiwu looked at the astonished Mingshui Spirit Turtle standing to the side.
……
Watching Chen Beiwu's figure disappear, the Netherworld Spirit Turtle couldn't help but smack its lips.
The red blood fish sashimi was delicious, but something about it felt a little off.
On Sihai Lake, clouds and mist surge, creating a scene resembling a fairyland.
Han Liangcai opened his eyes, staring intently at the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Mirror, ignoring the spirit stones shattered into powder on the table.
"Strange, how come there isn't even a single Northern Heaven Five Qi Fate Master? Could it be that we're using the wrong method? Is that peerless hidden dragon not a water-elemental being? Or perhaps the time isn't right yet?" he murmured to himself.
The next second, as if sensing something, Han Liangcai looked at the figure rushing out of the lake with surprise, and then turned his gaze to the Netherworld Spirit Turtle at the bottom of the lake.
"call out!"
With a thought, the Golden Core cultivator summoned the exotic spirit turtle to the stone table.
"Why did you give away the golden scales bestowed upon you by your master?" he asked, frowning.
The Netherworld Spirit Turtle raised its head, revealing an indifferent expression.
"You mean that person has an excellent destiny, but your spiritual connection with him is not working, so you gave him a rare golden scale to try and create a good relationship."
Upon hearing this absurd claim, Han Liangcai's lips twitched slightly.
This brat is taking advantage of his master's favor to really fool him.
What good karma? This guy clearly has his eye on someone else's grass in the stone.
The Stone Grass is not of high quality, only second-tier. Its side effect is that it causes partial petrification of the cultivator's dantian. However, it is a second-tier spiritual medicine that is prohibited from circulation by the Dongxuan Immortal Sect.
Because a genius alchemist once appeared in the Dongxuan Immortal Sect, he discovered that the side effect of the Stone Grass could give the Mingshui Spirit Turtle a unique and blissful feeling of floating on air.
The more Stone Grass a Ming Shui spirit turtle consumes, the stronger the pleasure it experiences. Some exceptionally gifted spirit turtles can even enter a state of enlightenment, causing the price of Stone Grass to skyrocket and making it a hard currency in the Dongxuan Immortal Sect.
At its peak, a second-tier Stone Grass could even be exchanged for a third-tier superior-grade medicinal herb from the Netherworld Spirit Turtle.
However, only a few spirit turtles can enter a state of enlightenment. The vast majority of spirit turtles become dependent on eating too much grass from the stone, eventually leading to petrification of their bodies and a significant loss of their potential.
Therefore, the higher-ups of the Immortal Sect issued a decree to completely end that farce.
"The Stone Grass is not hard to obtain, but why would a commoner from the Fallen Dragon Mansion know the secrets of the Immortal Sect?" Han Liangcai closed his eyes and activated the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Realm to trace the cause and effect.
After a long while, he opened his eyes, his expression one of surprise: "It was just a coincidence."
Those who possess such good fortune may have an extraordinary future.
The little guy's act of forming good relationships this time was a lucky accident.
Lake Sihai.
Seeing the joy on Chen Beiwu's face, Xu Ziqing stepped forward curiously.
"You seem especially happy right now. Is the Fellow Beast confirmed?"
"Of course." Chen Beiwu smiled and said, "You would never guess what kind of beast I've contracted."
Xu Ziqing was slightly taken aback: "Isn't it the Netherworld Spirit Turtle?"
With a thought, Chen Beiwu took out a plump golden egg from his spirit beast bag.
"Ah! This...this is golden scales?"
Seeing those dull fish eyes, Xu Ziqing opened her mouth slightly.
"That's right." Chen Beiwu's lips curled up.
Even the blood of the Demon King could not move the Netherworld Spirit Turtle, and he thought he was going to miss a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Unexpectedly, fate smiled upon him once again. Inside the miniature water realm carried by the Netherworld Spirit Turtle was a second-tier spirit beast with a fortune reaching the gold level.
Upon hearing Chen Beiwu's answer, Xu Ziqing's mind went blank.
Golden Scale is not a water-attribute spirit beast that ordinary cultivators can cultivate.
Unless Chen Beiwu is willing to train it into a metal spirit beast, Crimson Gold Scale or Black Gold Scale, which is impossible.
If she remembered correctly, Chen Beiwu's Golden Spirit Root purity was only 15, so cultivating Crimson Gold Scales would be tantamount to cutting off his own path.
"Golden Egg is a bit hungry, I need to find it something to eat, so I probably can't go to Irregular Reef Island with you," Chen Beiwu said apologetically.
"It's alright, the beast companion is more important." Xu Ziqing forced a smile.
Reason told her that Chen Beiwu would most likely never achieve the Golden Core after contracting with the Golden Scales.
But her senses reminded her that this golden scale was no ordinary thing, otherwise Chen Beiwu would never have made a contract with it.
In short, she needs time to process reality.
Sensing Xu Ziqing's emotions, Chen Beiwu put away the golden egg, bid farewell, and turned to head towards the Spirit Beast Pavilion's main hall.
The golden egg is not a spirit beast in the Spirit Beast Pavilion, but he obtained it from the Netherworld Spirit Turtle by exchanging Stone Grass. Therefore, Chen Beiwu can ignore the rules and forcibly form a contract, but he still needs to register.
As for the source of the Stone Grass, he had already found a solution before heading to the Spirit Beast Pavilion, even though the Immortal Alliance probably wouldn't care about the source of a second-tier spiritual herb.
……
Half an hour later, in the main hall of the Spirit Beast Pavilion.
Under the curious gaze of the staff, Chen Beiwu registered the information of the fellow beast and spent fifty low-grade spirit stones to buy the spirit beast bag in his hand.
Logically speaking, the spirit beast bags given to cultivators by the Spirit Beast Pavilion are considered free gifts when purchasing the same beast, and should not require spending spirit stones at all. However, Chen Beiwu did not follow the usual path and did not even purchase the same beast, so he had to pay for it himself.
After doing all this, Chen Beiwu spent a low-grade spirit stone to rent a first-tier high-grade cultivation room in the Spirit Beast Pavilion.
"One low-grade spirit stone can only be used for two hours of cultivation. The cost of living in the Fallen Dragon Palace is much higher than that of a school."
Chen Beiwu sighed, sat cross-legged on the futon, took out the golden egg from the spirit beast bag, and began the three-vein cleansing that was necessary after forming a contract with the same beast.
He activated his divine sense and entered the golden egg's sea of consciousness through the connection between the Tongcan Seal. Then, he used the Tongcan Contract to induce its essence, energy, and spirit to manifest the three channels of Yuan, Shu, and Fa respectively.
Among them, the Yuanmai represents the innate essence of the five elements of the Tongcan beast, also known as the Yuanjing, which is the root of the Tongcan beast's bloodline and can be used to enhance the purity of the spiritual roots of Tongcan cultivators.
The higher the grade of the innate primordial vein of the beast, the higher the purity of the spiritual root that the cultivator can improve.
Legend has it that a Fellowship Beast possessing a Heavenly Grade Yuan Vein can cause a terrifying transformation in the spiritual root aptitude of a Fellowship Cultivator.
