The Fire Rock Beast swallowed the Spirit Feeding Pill and let out a low roar, spitting out a reddish flame as thick as an adult’s arm, striking the ground, yet leaving it completely undamaged.

In the past two years, Shen Long had examined all the ancient texts on magic artifacts and Dharma treasures on the first floor of the Scripture Pavilion; he had not found any with functions similar to the Spirt Control Tower, which seemed to be one of a kind.

He had reviewed all the texts on the first floor concerning spirit beasts and spirit insects; some spirit beast eggs or spirit insect eggs had weak vitalities and needed to be soaked in the Spirit-Nurturing Jade Liquid to hatch.

In the Qianling Mountain Range, there was a cave that produced Profound Moon Spirit Water, which could be used to refine the Spirit-Nurturing Jade Liquid.

Soaking the weak spirit beast eggs or spirit insect eggs in the Spirit-Nurturing Jade Liquid could enhance their vitality and improve their chances of hatching.

Besides, certain special formations could also achieve the same effect.

Whether it was the Spirit-Nurturing Jade Liquid or a formation, they only raised the hatching probabilities and did not guarantee a hundred percent success.

Some spirit beast eggs or spirit insect eggs that had been stored for too long or contaminated by external matter had a very low chance of hatching.

Shen Long only needed to place the spirit beast eggs or spirit insect eggs into the Spirit Control Pool and infuse mana into the corresponding Monster Beasts Pattern to hatch them.

Logically speaking, tower-like treasures have multiple layers, but Shen Long was only able to access the first layer so far.

Shen Long speculated that perhaps only when he advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage could he enter the second layer.

The first layer was for hatching spirit beast eggs and spirit insect eggs; the second layer might offer new functions.

There were so many strange bugs, alien beasts, and fierce birds in the Cultivation Realm that the Spirt Control Sect compiled the “Record of Myriad Beasts,” “Thousand Insects Compendium,” and “Sky Bird Annals,” which recorded a large number of them, detailing their appearances, habitats, characteristics, and divine skills.

Shen Long had looked through these three texts and identified some of the Monster Beasts Patterns on the stone walls of the first floor of the Spirt Control Tower.

The True Dragon, Heavenly Phoenix, Kylin, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, Hundred-Headed Worm, Nine-Headed Bird, Kui Ox, You Tian Kunpeng, Luo Hou, Five Lights Peacock, Golden Crow, Grinning Beast, Immortal Fire Crocodile, Mountain Giant Ape, Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon, and more—all of them legendary great monsters that had never appeared in the Qianyang Realm, at most only their descendants with diluted bloodlines after countless generations.

Even with diluted bloodlines, the offspring of great monsters had higher potential ceilings and vast divine skills.

The protected spirit bird of the Spirt Control Sect was once a fourth-tier Dark Phoenix, a descendant of the Heavenly Phoenix, with the Purity of Bloodline reaching five, and it was able to speak human language.

The lifespan of spirit beasts, spirit insects, and spirit birds generally exceeded that of cultivators of the same level, but without advancement to higher realms, they would still perish.

The guardian spirit beasts of various sects could not remain unchanged; over the Spirt Control Sect’s more than fifty thousand years of heritage, there had been over thirty types of guardian creatures that did not advance to the fifth tier.

Fifth tier spirit beasts were also extremely rare in the Qianyang Realm.

Cultivators had cultivation techniques and supportive external objects, but without transformation, spirit beasts did not cultivate quickly.

The first floor’s stone walls of the Spirt Control Tower were engraved with numerous patterns of legendary monsters, marking it as no ordinary treasure.

It’s worth noting that the Spirt Control Sect’s treasured Thousand Demon Tower could at its highest conjure a fourth-tier late stage Red Fire Flood Dragon, which was also one of the Sect’s trump cards.

“Come on, attack me without holding back,” he ordered.

Shen Long commanded the Fire Rock Beast, retreating some distance to make room.

The Fire Rock Beast opened its gaping maw and spit out more than a dozen bowl-sized reddish fireballs towards Shen Long.

With a thought, Shen Long summoned a thick blue water screen close to his body that appeared out of thin air, the Xuan Water Shield.

The dozen reddish fireballs smashed into the blue water screen, creating a series of muffled sounds, and the raging flames engulfed Shen Long’s figure.

Before the flames had even dissipated, the Fire Rock Beast charged towards Shen Long.

Muttering an incantation, a streak of blue light surged in Shen Long’s right hand, and with a toss of his hand, a foot-long green Wind Blade flew out, accurately striking the Fire Rock Beast’s body, producing a muffled sound as a faint, almost invisible, mark appeared on the beast’s surface.

He practiced the Wind Blade Technique for two hours every day, and at present, it was only moderately successful, far from Great Perfection.

The Fire Rock Beast spat out another dozen reddish fireballs.

Shen Long retreated, dodging the fireballs.

The Fire Rock Beast halted, then spewed out a thick reddish flame, aimed straight at Shen Long, who used the Wind Control Skill to evade it.

As it released reddish fireballs to attack Shen Long, the moment any attack landed on the blue water screen that covered Shen Long, it would immediately rush over.

A monster beast that had not been trained would attack a cultivator with spells while charging at them, making it easy for the cultivator to severely injure them with a powerful magic artifact or talisman, or lead the beast around in circles.

Shen Long took out a yellow talisman that flickered with light and tossed it forward.

The Fire Rock Beast reacted quickly, leaping to the left.

The yellow talisman fell to the ground, unactivated.

Having been trained many times, the Fire Rock Beast would immediately avoid anything that shone with spiritual light, rather than staying put.

Untrained monster beasts wouldn’t know to avoid such things and would even charge towards them.

Shen Long conjured the Mother-Child Blade; with the mother blade in hand, the four child blades sped towards the Fire Rock Beast.

The Fire Rock Beast opened its mouth to spit out a dozen reddish fireballs to meet the incoming blades, which were slashed apart.

It circled to the side, attacking Shen Long.

The four child blades circled around and changed direction, pursuing the Fire Rock Beast.

While it spat out reddish fireballs and attacked Shen Long from the side, this behavior was the result of Shen Long’s training.

After a short while, Shen Long whistled, and the Fire Rock Beast obediently stopped and stood in place.

Shen Long waved his right hand, and the Fire Rock Beast raised its right paw, he waved his left hand, and the Fire Rock Beast turned and headed towards the Spirit Control Pool.

Shen Long nodded in satisfaction, the training results were not bad.

He exited the Spirt Control Tower, sat cross-legged on the stone bed, and took out a Qi Nourishing Pill and put it into his mouth.

As soon as the elixir entered his mouth, it dissolved, and a surge of spiritual energy rose in his abdomen, he quickly started cultivating to refine this spiritual energy.

A night quickly passed, and the next day, as soon as it was dawn, three loud bell rings sounded, starting the new day.

Shen Long walked out of Qingmei Courtyard and headed towards the Spiritual Meal Pavilion, he hadn’t gone very far when he saw Ye Yuqing and Ye Yutang.

Ye Yuqing had already advanced to the ninth level of Qi Refinement, she had not neglected to make Talismans, selling them to Qian Dafu and earning some extra money to buy cultivation resources, thus speeding up her training.

Ye Yutang was only at the eighth level of Qi Refinement, she had asked Qian Dafu to help her purchase a Mantis Spider, which was ranked nine hundred thirty-five on the Heaven and Earth Exotic Insect List, and was not weak in strength.

“Senior Sister Ye!

Good morning!”

Shen Long walked over quickly and greeted.

“Good morning, Junior Brother Shen.”

Ye Yuqing and Ye Yutang greeted Shen Long back, they were quite close to Shen Long and Qian Dafu.

“The minor competition will be held in a few days, have you bought any suitable magic artifacts, Junior Brother Shen?

If you don’t have enough spirit stones, I could lend you some,” Ye Yutang said.

Shen Long had refined five first-level spells to Great Perfection, his strength was not weak, but he came from a Loose Cultivator background and lacked certain skills, which might mean he did not have enough spirit stones to buy a decent magic artifact.

Ye Yuqing was a first-level Talisman Maker, which made earning spirit stones a bit easier for her.

Shen Long smiled slightly, “If I need it, I’ll speak up.”

New disciples received one bottle of Qi Nourishing Pill and ten spirit stones every month; with food and accommodation provided, Shen Long had acquired over two thousand spirit stones when he joined.

Apart from buying Spirit Feeding Pills and Silver Marrow Spirit Rice, Shen Long had no major expenses, so he still had more than fifteen hundred spirit stones in his storage bag.

“Well then, that’s settled!”

Ye Yutang nodded, and the three of them headed towards the Spiritual Meal Pavilion.

Walking into the Spiritual Meal Pavilion, they saw many disciples having their meals, lining up to get breakfast.

Breakfast consisted of a bowl of Spirit Rice Porridge and two steamed buns, with the porridge being unlimited.

After breakfast, the three of them left the Spiritual Meal Pavilion and went to the Teaching Pavilion.

Compared to when he had just been admitted, the number of new disciples attending the lectures had decreased significantly, only about twenty people were listening.

Qin Bao no longer attended either, as it was said he was preparing for the minor competition.

Not long after, Sun Sen entered, without taking attendance, and immediately started the lesson.

“Today we will discuss the dangerous areas in the Cultivation Realm.

There are many dangerous places in the Qianyang Realm, and among them, the seven most famous ones include two in the Donghua Cultivation Realm, namely the Burial Immortal Tomb and Myriad Flame Valley.

I’ve mentioned them before but didn’t elaborate in detail,” Sun Sen said.

Shen Long had read about these two dangerous areas in the annals, the Burial Immortal Tomb was an ancient battlefield with numerous prohibitions, and even Nascent Soul Cultivators risked falling within its confines.

Myriad Flame Valley was a cluster of volcanos that frequently erupted, and the space there was quite unstable.

A fifth-level Monster Beast had appeared there before, and it was inhabited by numerous fire attribute spiritual medicines and fire attribute Monster Beasts, attracting many cultivators to the Myriad Flame Valley.

Nascent Soul Cultivators faced the risk of falling in both of these places.

They were famous dangerous lands far and wide.

The difference was that every few hundred years, the prohibitions of the Burial Immortal Tomb would enter a weakened state for a period, reducing the power of the prohibitions.

During this time, a large number of cultivators would enter the Burial Immortal Tomb to treasure hunt, whereas Myriad Flame Valley was a natural danger, with no periods of weakness, accessible at any time.

Myriad Flame Valley was located on the border between the Human Clan and the Barbarian Tribe.

Both the Human Clan and the Barbarian Tribe wanted to monopolize Myriad Flame Valley for gradual development, but neither wish came true; both sides were able to send people into the valley.

The Burial Immortal Tomb was situated in the Barbarian Tribe’s territory.

Each time the prohibitions became weak, some high-level cultivators would enter the Burial Immortal Tomb to hunt for treasures.

The Barbarian Tribe did not block this, not because they were extremely generous, but because they did not dare.

In addition to the cultivators from the Donghua Cultivation Realm, high-level cultivators from other parts of the Qianyang Realm would come to the Burial Immortal Tomb to hunt for treasures, among them were not a few high-level Loose Cultivators.

If the Barbarian Tribe dared to block this, it would be akin to making powerful enemies.

A major tribe of the Barbarian Tribe once organized a group of powerful experts to enter the Burial Immortal Tomb, hoping to take its treasures.

The result was a heavy loss and severe weakening.

When the Human Clan and the Barbarian Tribe went to war, this tribe was eradicated by the Human Clan.

Sun Sen mainly introduced the Burial Immortal Tomb. freёweɓnovel.com

Several high-level cultivators from the Spirt Control Sect had entered the Burial Immortal Tomb to treasure hunt, and recorded their experiences in their memoirs.

After they passed away, the sect assigned disciples from the Scripture Pavilion to organize these memoirs, and the content regarding the Burial Immortal Tomb was compiled into a volume for later generations to use as a reference when entering the Burial Immortal Tomb to treasure hunt.

“Some time ago, it was rumored that the Fiery Hermit obtained an ancient treasure from the Burial Immortal Tomb.

The veracity of that, I’m not quite sure, but indeed, the Burial Immortal Tomb has plenty of treasures.

Some have even found Spiritual Treasures and Miracle Elixirs that assist in breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

However, for Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment Cultivators to enter the Burial Immortal Tomb is as good as committing suicide,” said Sun Sen slowly.
