Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

Chapter 132: Chapter 130 Earth Escape
 

In the Spiritual Beast Garden, Qin Feng’s visit this time was different from before.

Before, his main focus had been on wandering amongst the Spiritual Toads, but today he specifically came to the area where the Spiritual Snakes were kept.

In fact, when it came to the variety and quantity of Spiritual Snakes, Spiritual Snake Peak had the most. The quantity at the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion wasn’t considered abundant because, compared to other types of Spiritual Beasts, Spiritual Snakes weren’t particularly favored by cultivators.

In reality, aside from the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect, most cultivators in the Cultivation World would choose Spiritual Birds or Exotic Beasts of good appearance as their riding tools, with few opting for snake-like Spiritual Beasts.

The bestseller at the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion was the Spiritual Crane.

This type of Spiritual Bird was not only beautiful, but also had a decent flying speed. Sitting on the back of a Spiritual Crane invisibly added a sense of Immortal-like charm, hence it was most welcomed by cultivators.

Next were some small and cute-looking minor Spiritual Beasts. Although most were not powerful, they were particularly loved by female cultivators.

After that came those beasts with various unique abilities, followed only then by those powerful and fierce creatures used for combat.

Having been in business for many years, the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion had already summarized countless experiences, knowing which Spiritual Beasts were more popular and which ones usually sold for an average price. Hence, although there were quite a number of Spiritual Snakes here, more were placed just for show, with the majority sold to their own disciples.

In fact, if the disciples of each peak of the Beast Taming Sect accrued enough merits, they could also exchange for a Spiritual Beast within their peak. Otherwise, those disciples with average talent and low cultivation wouldn’t be able to acquire a Lifebound Spiritual Beast.

Qin Feng knew this, but he had only completed two tasks so far, and the little merit he had was nothing to boast about. He certainly couldn’t just exchange for a common garden snake to bring back.

Ordinary tasks didn’t accumulate much merit either. To obtain those Spiritual Beasts with extremely high bloodline talent, one either had to accumulate merits over many years or make significant contributions to the Sect.

Like the Demon God Stone Statue he had brought back, the Sect awarded him with an opportunity to capture a Spiritual Beast in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave Heaven. However, he listened to Liu Xuanling’s advice to wait until after his Foundation Establishment to go to the Ten Thousand Demons Cave Heaven, otherwise, with his current strength, he wouldn’t be able to capture too powerful a Spiritual Beast.

In fact, he didn’t know that the news about the Heavenly Connecting Lotus could let him exchange for a top-tier talented Spiritual Snake from Liu Xuanling already.

It was just that the Heavenly Connecting Lotus had not yet been obtained, and Liu Xuanling intended to cultivate Qin Feng as a disciple, so she hadn’t brought up this matter.

But with Liu Xuanling’s character, once he joined the Inner Sect, she would naturally not skimp on the benefits.

Even now, Liu Xuanling hadn’t treated him unfairly, like the quota for entering the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm. The entire Beast Taming Sect only had two hundred spots, and those disciples from the Inner Sect could hardly even ask for one, yet she had directly given Qin Feng a spot.

Although the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm posed some dangers, relative to the treasures within, it was certainly worth the risk. Otherwise, every time the Secret Realm opened, so many Inner Sect disciples wouldn’t go to such lengths to secure an opportunity.

Qin Feng walked slowly through the area where the Spiritual Snakes were kept, looking at the variously sized and colored snakes, silently comparing them in his mind.

The Thunder Snake, with the Innate Divine Ability of Thunder Claps, had a Demon Core cultivation level, was thirty feet long, enveloped in thunder and lightning. Even though its cultivation was already imprisoned, one could still see sparks of electricity emerge on its scale armor. When Qin Feng’s hand touched the iron cage, he could feel his palm tingling.

Qin Feng didn’t even look at the price and simply continued walking forward.

Such a powerful Spiritual Snake, he certainly couldn’t afford.

The Purgatory Fire Snake, with a Demon Core cultivation level, was eighteen feet long, completely crimson as fire, emitting an intensely hot aura, its Divine Power being Purgatory Demon Fire.

The Illusion Spirit Snake, with the Innate Illusion Technique Divine Ability, can envelop an entire area within an Illusion Realm, making it hard to distinguish between reality and illusion, whether used for combat or ambush, it was an excellent aid.

This piqued Qin Feng’s interest, for such Illusion Technique ability was much stronger than that of the Green Fox, fitting his taste quite well. The only issue was that the price was a tad high…

The Medicine King Snake had a slender body with a head shaped like a medicinal ladle, was naturally gifted with a strong perception of various Spiritual Medicines, and was exceptionally good at finding them. Whether traveling outside or treasure hunting in a Secret Realm, it was an invaluable assistant.

Sadly, the price of the Medicine King Snake was just as envy-inducing as its ability to find Spiritual Medicines.

Thus, Qin Feng could only look on enviously and turn his gaze elsewhere.

After looking at several more pricy Spiritual Snakes, Qin Feng quickly put the joy of obtaining over ten thousand Spirit Stones behind him.

Forget it, those powerful Spiritual Snakes are prepared for cultivators with higher realms. He should stop discouraging himself here.

Besides, at his current Realm, the Ruyi Golden Snake couldn’t merge with the Essence Blood of these powerful snakes. He might as well look at some Qi Refining Realm Spiritual Snakes.

Thinking this, he quickly walked past this area and continued forward.

“`

“Eh, a Cold Ice Python?”

Qin Feng quickly recognized a somewhat familiar figure.

When he had just joined the Sect, he had once raised a Cold Ice Python and was quite familiar with this type of giant serpent.

However, he didn’t choose the Cold Ice Python because the Swallowing Sky Toad already possessed the power of cold ice, and there was no need to add such an Innate Divine Ability to the Ruyi Golden Snake at this time.

He walked past the Cold Ice Python in a few steps and continued looking.

Two snakes, skilled in poison and Water Element Techniques, weren’t of much use to him at the moment.

The Tree Python, a Wood Element Spiritual Snake with a huge body but low combat power.

The Red Refinement Snake, entirely fire red like a chain, could manipulate flames.

The Golden Ring Snake could solidify the golden ring patterns on its body into tangible rings to imprison its opponents.

Qin Feng stroked his chin; this ability was indeed quite good.

But, let’s look further.

The Profound Yin Water Snake, adept at Water Element Techniques.

The Great Desert Viper, an Earth Element Spiritual Snake, proficient in Earth Escape…

“Eh, Earth Escape?”

Qin Feng’s eyes suddenly lit up; this Innate Divine Ability seemed pretty good.

For him in his current stage, it absolutely qualified as a life-saving Divine Skill.

The reputation of the Five Elements Escape Technique was grand, but those who truly mastered it weren’t many. It wasn’t just an issue of inheritance but also because it wasn’t a common spell; strictly speaking, it should be categorized as Divine Skill.

Divine Skills are hard to cultivate, and ordinary cultivators usually have to reach their Golden Core before they can start cultivating them.

Qin Feng felt that there was no need to integrate any powerful attack Divine Skills into the Ruyi Golden Snake right now. When your Realm is low, no matter how strong your attack is, it’s limited. It’s better to enhance one’s life-saving abilities first.

And the Earth Escape Technique definitely counted as an excellent method for preserving one’s life.

In the face of danger, he just needed to escape into the ground, where even Golden Core Cultivators would find it hard to attack a spot more than a dozen meters deep.

What’s more, after escaping underground, he wasn’t immobile; even if the opponents on the surface didn’t want to let him go, he could still escape from beneath them.

Thinking this, Qin Feng’s heart was greatly stirred.

He glanced at the price, twelve thousand Spirit Stones.

This price… was really damn coincidental, he had just earned that many Spirit Stones today, and now he was expected to shell them all out.

For a moment, he even wondered if someone was plotting against his Spirit Stones.

However, he quickly calmed his thoughts. The Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion was so vast; they would hardly care about the few Spirit Stones he had.

The viper’s combat power wasn’t particularly strong, but the Earth Escape Divine Power was extremely rare among Spiritual Beasts, which probably justified its high price.

Qin Feng had heard that there were disciples from Spiritual Snake Peak who used this sort of viper as their Lifebound Spiritual Beast. When they went on missions, they were known for their elusiveness, making it difficult for the vast majority of cultivators to deal with them.

Although the price of the viper was somewhat high, he thought inversely; spending just over ten thousand Spirit Stones to gain the Earth Escape from the Five Elements Escape Techniques was far from a loss; in fact, it was a great bargain.

With this thought, his mood instantly improved. He hurriedly sought out a Servant Disciple from the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion and bought the viper.

Then he thought it over and in the end, he didn’t leave directly but went to the area selling Spiritual Medicine instead. He spent three thousand six hundred Spirit Stones to buy a bottle of Spirit Transformation Golden Pills for the Ruyi Golden Snake to advance in rank.

This Elixir Pill was specially designed for Gold Element Spiritual Beasts to advance; it contained powerful Golden Spirit Qi. Although it wasn’t the best, with the Ruyi Golden Snake’s strength, it should be enough to help it reach Foundation Establishment.
