Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

Chapter 131: Chapter 129: Make a Fortune
 

Qin Feng returned to his residence and sat cross-legged in the cultivation room, summarizing the news he had heard from Liu Xuanling today, pondering for a long time.

To be honest, he was quite shocked by the information revealed in Liu Xuanling’s words.

But now that he thought about it, those matters were not immediately related to him. He was just a minor Outer Disciple, and with his current level of cultivation, if he were to participate in the major battles between his Sect and the outside world, he would only be cannon fodder.

He felt that all he needed to do now was to focus on cultivating well, without concerning himself about things that had not yet begun.

Even if his Sect wanted to initiate an interworld war, they could not just start the war immediately; at least a few years of preparation would be necessary, otherwise, they might face unforeseen circumstances if they acted too hastily.

Moreover, with the power of the Beast Taming Sect alone, whether they could occupy another world was uncertain unless some reclusive Supreme Elders of the Sect, who were immensely powerful, could dominate with absolute strength and suppress the presence of the Demon Gods of the opposing world. Otherwise, once the war reached a deadlock, it would be unfavorable for them.

Invading other worlds inherently meant they wouldn’t have home-field advantage. Subjected to the pressure of the opposing World Principles, without overwhelming strength, their chances of victory were uncertain.

Even if they could win, the Sect would not dare deploy all its forces to the Outer Realm; they would need to leave at least half of their manpower to guard the Sect’s base. Otherwise, if the enemy forces managed a surprise attack and breached their Mountain Gate, they would end up rootless.

Qin Feng thought that to be cautious, the Sect would definitely invite several allied forces to participate and share the resources and wealth of the otherworld.

Among these forces, how much manpower and resources each would contribute, and how the territories would be distributed after the war—all of these would require much time to negotiate slowly.

After a while, he shook his head and laughed at himself.

Being just a minor Qi Refining Disciple, why burden himself with these concerns? Rather, he should think of ways to enhance his own strength.

He then remembered that since the senior levels of the Sect had already determined his reward, the Foreign Affairs Hall must have already verified the events of their last raid against the Demon God Believers.

With this thought, Qin Feng stood up, left his residence, and rode a Spiritual Vulture to the Foreign Affairs Hall to collect his previous rewards.

During the raid against the Demon God Believers, he had obtained considerable spoils, especially having consecutively slain six Demon God Believers whose magic power was comparable to Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Moreover, he had killed dozens of ordinary believers.

Now, it was to see if the Sect would settle the rewards as originally promised. If the rewards remained unchanged, he could obtain at least tens of thousands of Spirit Stones this time.

The Foreign Affairs Hall was still bustling with disciples either searching for suitable missions, returning to report on their missions, or collecting various rewards for cultivation resources.

“Senior Brother, may I ask if the rewards for the last mission to Nanyue Country to kill the Demon God Believers have been determined?”

Qin Feng approached a counter and inquired with the disciple behind it.

“Oh, you were part of that mission too?”

The disciple looked at Qin Feng and smiled, “You’re quite lucky, that mission was one of the highest rewarding and easiest to complete in recent years. What’s your name, so I can check your rewards?”

“Junior Brother Qin Feng, thank you, Senior Brother.”

Qin Feng spoke politely.

“Alright, just a moment.”

The disciple picked up a book, light flickered from his hand as he wrote down the words ‘Nanyue, Demon God Believers’ on the book. Quickly, the book flipped automatically, revealing detailed information about that mission.

He then found Qin Feng’s name and glanced at his achievements and rewards, unable to hide his envy: “Junior Brother Qin truly has good fortune. You’ve slain so much. The Sect’s reward hasn’t changed; this time you killed six Demon God Believers equivalent to Foundation Establishment Cultivators, fourteen people with power comparable to the late stages of Qi Refinement, and forty-six early to middle stage individuals.”

“The reward for Foundation Establishment Cultivators is one thousand Spirit Stones each, two hundred for late stage Qi Refinement, one hundred for mid-stage, and fifty for early stage. After calculation, you have earned a total of eleven thousand eight hundred Spirit Stones for this mission.”

When these words were spoken, several disciples waiting behind Qin Feng to hand over their missions immediately became envious. At the same time, they regretted their earlier decision not to participate, as they had seen the mission too but had thought that rounding up Demon Sect disciples was too dangerous. They had not anticipated missing such an opportunity.

The disciple behind the counter took Qin Feng’s Identity Jade Token, verified his identity, and then took out one hundred middle-grade Spirit Stones and one thousand eight hundred low-grade Spirit Stones from the wooden cabinet behind him, handing them to Qin Feng.

“Thank you, Senior Brother.”

Qin Feng joyfully put away the Spirit Stones.

Indeed, it’s beneficial to be under the shelter of a big tree; joining the sect had facilitated his cultivation.

If he were still in his family, he would likely never have amassed such a wealth of Spirit Stones in his lifetime.

Rising and leaving the Foreign Affairs Hall, Qin Feng thought it over and jumped onto a Spiritual Vulture, heading directly to the Qingyun Square.

With such a large sum of Spirit Stones suddenly in his possession, his heart felt very comfortable.

Soon, he would go to the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm, and of course, he needed to enhance his strength as quickly as possible.

Now, with just over three months until the opening of the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm, he felt that with his current level—just entering the ninth layer of Qi Refinement—it was somewhat forced to strive for the Foundation Establishment Realm in this time frame.

Even though the Demon Refining Pot could speed up his cultivation, cultivation was never merely about absorbing Spiritual Energy—it involved many facets.

Whether it was comprehending Cultivation Techniques or nourishing the meridians and acupoints within his body, these processes required time to settle.

Otherwise, forcibly advancing could easily lead to unstable foundations; after all, it had only been a little more than two years since he had awakened his Spiritual Acupoints and broken through to the Qi Refining Realm.

That he possessed his current level of Cultivation was already rather remarkable. If he disregarded caution to further speed up his cultivation, he would definitely need to spend much more time later compensating for his shaky foundation.

Since he needed some time to solidify his foundation and shouldn’t be rash, he thought he might as well find a way to enhance the strength of his Lifebound Spiritual Beast.

By elevating the Ruyi Golden Snake to Foundation Establishment Cultivation, he would greatly improve his own combat power.

Indeed, once the Ruyi Golden Snake advanced, this would, in turn, boost his cultivation speed, making his future cultivation efforts much more potent. With this, he might just be able to advance to the Foundation Establishment solidly before the opening of the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm.

However, when he arrived at the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion and inquired about treasures suitable for advancing a Gold Element Spiritual Beast, he hesitated immediately.

All treasures used for advancement were exorbitantly expensive; the cheapest were thousands of Spirit Stones and had moderate effects.

Those more costly varied from thousands to tens of thousands of Spirit Stones, and these were merely for Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment Realm treasures.

Qin Feng was not unable to afford the items needed for the Ruyi Golden Snake’s advancement, but he felt they were not worth it.

Even without these treasures, he was confident of advancing to Foundation Establishment by the end of the year. If it was just to save a few months’ time, spending so many Spirit Stones would seem overly extravagant.

After some thought, he abandoned the idea and turned towards the Spiritual Beast Garden.

Compared to saving a few months of cultivation time, he preferred to choose something more long-term.

For example, selecting a Spiritual Snake with exceptional Innate Divine Abilities and integrating its Divine Skills into the Ruyi Golden Snake’s body would be the most cost-effective move for him now.
