Chapter 151 : Mobilizing Divine Power
Chapter 151: Mobilizing Divine Power
Evening.
Upon returning home to the cultivation room, the ink-black jade pendant at Chen Beiwu’s waist, about the size of a pigeon egg, gave off a faint glow. Instantly, a powerful aura filled the entire space.
As a second-tier superior Concealment Spirit Artifact, the Phantom Concealment Pendant could mask the wearer’s cultivation realm, mana fluctuations, physical strength, and spiritual sense. Its concealment effect far surpassed the Concealing Jade Pendant he had purchased before.
It was no exaggeration to say that unless a Golden Core True Person made a move, even a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator probing with spiritual sense directly before him would find it difficult to see through Chen Beiwu’s disguise.
Precisely because of this, the Phantom Concealment Pendant was sold at an exorbitant price on the Immortal Alliance Official Website, costing eight times more than the Concealing Jade Pendant. It required four thousand Spirit Yuan to purchase, a price nearly comparable to a set of Five Foundation-Establishment Spirits.
“This Phantom Concealment Pendant is useful, very useful, but it consumes a lot of mana,” Chen Beiwu muttered.
The principal of Shouhe No.2 High School, Principal Zeng, was a well-known Golden Core True Person in Yuan-Kong County.
To avoid the school detecting his sudden leaps in cultivation, even though Chen Beiwu had the Phantom Concealment Pendant to hide his aura, he had not reported to class even once in recent years.
Fortunately, this concealment would soon come to an end.
Thinking this, Chen Beiwu’s gaze shifted to the reservation message on his phone.
In one week, Su Miao, the Pavilion Master of the Cloudsound Pavilion, would perform the Cleansing Spirit Melody.
At that time, he would feign sudden enlightenment while listening to the melody, breaking through on the spot to the Eleventh Level of Qi Refining. In this way, he could craft the persona of a cultivation prodigy, stunning all of Yuan-Kong County while perfectly resolving the issue of his cultivation advancement.
“Buzz buzz!” His phone alarm rang.
Chen Beiwu turned off the alarm and opened the Immortal Alliance Official Website ten minutes early.
At six o’clock that evening, the website would release three types of third-tier Treasure Pills in limited quantity, available on a first-come-first-served basis: the Three-Light Vein-Tempering Pill, the Taiyi Azure-Mystic Pill, and the Yin-Yang Blood-Purifying Pill.
The Three-Light Vein-Tempering Pill was refined from Moon Dew of the Jade Toad, Solar Golden Crystal, and Starfall Heart Sand. It was a third-tier inferior Treasure Pill.
When consumed by a Qi Refining cultivator at the limit, it carried a ten percent chance of unblocking three hidden meridians, directly advancing to Qi Refining Overlimit (Eleventh Level of Qi Refining). The official price was 25,000 Spirit Yuan.
Because this pill was far too rare, it was greatly favored by second-generation cultivators. Even with a resale markup of 200%, it would still sell out instantly.
The Taiyi Azure-Mystic Pill was refined from Molted Branch of Jumang, Thunder Heart Marrow, and Scaled Flood Dragon scales. It was also a third-tier inferior Treasure Pill.
When consumed by Companion Beasts of Water and Wood attributes, it could purify thin traces of dragon bloodline within them, awakening a life-nurturing Flood Dragon Mark upon the reverse scale.
The Flood Dragon Mark increased the chance of a Companion Beast advancing to the second realm, Lesser Beast, by sixty percent. It could also preserve the bloodline foundation and heal hidden injuries in case of a failed advancement.
Its official price was 35,000 Spirit Yuan.
Because dragon-type beasts were exceedingly rare within the Immortal Alliance, the Taiyi Azure-Mystic Pill, even when resold at a 300% markup, would drive countless Beast Tamers into a frenzy to buy it.
As for the final pill, the Yin-Yang Blood-Purifying Pill, it was refined from Yin-Yang Insects, Soulblood Vine, and Nether Marrow Ash. It was a third-tier medium-grade Treasure Pill.
This was also the pill Chen Beiwu most desired to obtain.
It carried a ten percent chance of forcibly awakening the ancient bloodline in a Treasure Beast below the third tier, allowing a Spirit Beast of superior aptitude to evolve its bloodline and transform into a third-tier Treasure Beast with greatly increased potential.
There was also a twenty percent chance of awakening an exclusive third-tier Treasure Art related to its nature, and a seventy percent chance of significant progress in cultivation years.
Its official price was 99,999 Spirit Yuan, while in the resale market the minimum purchasing price started at 300,000 Spirit Yuan.
“Hopefully this time I can successfully grab one,” Chen Beiwu exhaled deeply.
The potential of a Companion Beast’s bloodline determined the future cultivation path of its Contract Cultivator.
Golden Egg’s innate bloodline was already excellent, ranking among the top of second-tier Spirit Beasts.
If combined with a Yin-Yang Blood-Purifying Pill, it might have a chance to evolve its bloodline and become a third-tier Treasure Beast.
Even if Golden Egg ultimately failed to awaken its bloodline, merely gaining an exclusive third-tier Treasure Art would already be a massive gain for Chen Beiwu.
Thinking this, Chen Beiwu glanced at his phone account.
After deducting the expenses of daily cultivation resources and taxes, over the years he had earned a six-figure savings from selling livestream goods, having sold a total of twenty thousand catties of Yellow-Tailed Dendrobium.
Balance: 137,623.28.
Seeing that the time was nearly up, Chen Beiwu opened the product pages on three phones in advance.
The Three-Light Vein-Tempering Pill, Taiyi Azure-Mystic Pill, and Yin-Yang Soul-Purifying Pill were all Treasure Pills that Qi Refining cultivators could use. The Immortal Alliance released them once a year, so there were no identity restrictions.
As long as one had a clean background and passed the capital verification, one could participate in the purchase.
Chen Beiwu had failed to obtain them in the past two years. Tonight would be his third attempt.
To increase his chances of success this time, Chen Beiwu sank his mind into the Nine-Breath Chaos Heaven-and-Earth.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Staring at the two clusters of orange Fate light drifting in the chaos, Chen Beiwu stirred his spiritual sense. The two clusters immediately fell into his palms, radiating a faint orange glow.
Over the past three years, he had accumulated Fate daily through operating the Nine-Breath Chaos Divine Ability. Coupled with a trace of golden Fate gained from contracting Golden Egg, he had successfully nurtured two strands of orange Fate (suspected third-tier).
Chen Beiwu hesitated for a moment. Considering that the Immortal Exam was approaching and he needed one strand of Fate to suppress himself, he flicked his finger, sending one orange Fate back into the chaos.
Then, resonating his spiritual sense with the Nine-Breath Chaos, he activated the Nine-Breath Fate-Absorbing Divine Ability, forming a miniature Fate Bell before him.
“Buzz!”
Placing the trembling strand of orange Fate into the Fate Bell, a faint orange Spirit Fish slowly took shape.
“May you help me purchase the Yin-Yang Blood-Purifying Pill, or help me be admitted into the Thirteen Immortal Sects.”
After making his wish, Chen Beiwu pointed a finger at the Fate Bell.
“Dong!”
With a resonant chime, the orange Spirit Fish inside dissolved into motes of light, transforming into an unknown encounter.
Chen Beiwu’s face turned slightly pale as half of his mana instantly drained away. His mind voluntarily withdrew from the Nine-Breath Chaos.
‘Only five minutes left!’
Glancing at his phone, Chen Beiwu circulated his cultivation method to restore mana, quietly waiting for time to pass.
“17:59:59.”
With a thought, Chen Beiwu made the three phone screens tremble violently.
“18:00:00.”
【Order submission failed. Item sold out.】
【Order submission failed. Item sold out.】
【Purchase successful. Please settle the order within five minutes, or you will forfeit the qualification!】
Seeing the notification pop up on the last phone, Chen Beiwu’s pupils contracted. His face lit up with joy as he hurriedly proceeded to checkout.
【-99,999】
After paying for the pill, Chen Beiwu could not conceal his excitement.
In the past, when he activated the Nine-Breath Fate-Absorbing Divine Ability to transform Fate into encounters, he had made wishes, but none had ever succeeded.
Now, he had finally succeeded once!
Chen Beiwu let out a heavy breath.
Reason told him that orange Fate likely did not have the ability to grant wishes.
Otherwise, the last time he triggered an orange encounter, he should have been taken as a disciple by a passing Golden Core True Person, rather than running into a Great Sun anomaly at school.
Yet his instincts told him that sometimes, no matter how slim the odds, one should not ignore them.
Right now, he could activate the Nine-Breath Fate-Absorbing Divine Ability again, transform orange Fate into an encounter, and attempt to make a wish for admittance into the Five Great Grotto-Heavens.
‘Haste makes waste,’ Chen Beiwu suppressed his restless urge.
