Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 80 - 79 Trial Land
Chapter 80: Chapter 79 Trial Land
Although buying Spiritual Beasts directly from the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion was simple and quick, Qin Feng simply could not afford those with powerful bloodlines.
He couldn’t always rely on merging with commonplace Spiritual Beasts. As the Swallowing Sky Toad grew, it would provide limited help, so he still needed to find a way to get a few Spiritual Toads with potent bloodline potential in the future.
Sigh, this was forcing him to be like those elite disciples who only took on Sect tasks and ventured outside to find opportunities and Spiritual Beasts.
However, while Sect tasks did carry certain risks, danger often coexisted with opportunity.
As long as he was cautious, he would have a chance to amass more Spiritual Beasts as subordinates in the future, significantly increasing his chances of survival compared to ordinary disciples.
Typically, Outer Disciples in the Qi Refining Realm wouldn’t have many Spiritual Beasts with them, aside from their Lifebound Spiritual Beasts; possessing three or four to assist in battle was already considered quite luxurious.
After all, maintaining so many Spiritual Beasts not only required more resources but also consumed a lot of Divine Sense.
Once too many Spiritual Beasts were tamed, being overly stretched thin on Divine Sense could slow down their Cultivation progress, a loss outweighing the gains.
But Qin Feng was different; he possessed the Demon Refining Pot and didn’t have to worry about the Divine Sense issue. As long as the small area within the Demon Refining Pot could handle it, he could tame more Spiritual Beasts.
If he ever truly fell into a trap and was surrounded by enemies, being able to release more Spiritual Beasts would allow him to counterattack all adversaries.
Even Foundation Establishment Cultivators wouldn’t likely withstand a relentless siege from Qi Refining Realm Demon Beasts.
Having thought this through, Qin Feng wasn’t in a hurry to take on any Sect tasks immediately. As a disciple who had just joined this year, the Sect would surely take care of him for the first year.
For instance, many new disciples only needed to do half a day’s servant work, with the rest of the time free for learning various Cultivation knowledge.
Qin Feng felt that he could definitely take advantage of this period to learn more and practice several Spells, waiting until the year was over before heading to the Foreign Affairs Hall to take on tasks.
Moreover, he was confident that by the end of this year, he would advance to the sixth level of Qi Refinement, and by then, the Spirit Stones supported by his family for him and Qin Xi would have been delivered.
Previously, he had slain a few Loose Cultivators in Tieling Market who had sought to ambush him, acquiring several Techniques useful for the family. Therefore, the Clan Leader rewarded him with doubled resources for the next three years from the family, amounting to six hundred Spirit Stones annually, plus the three hundred he currently had, along with other miscellaneous items, which also tallied up to some value in Spirit Stones.
Calculating this way, by the end of the year, he would have a total of over a thousand Spirit Stones. If he invested them all into the Demon Refining Pot to refine them into pure Spiritual Energy, it was very possible that he could break through to the seventh level of Qi Refinement and reach the late-stage Cultivation Realm in one fell swoop.
Having late-stage Qi Refinement Realm ability for taking on Sect missions would give him greater confidence.
Moreover, since he had only joined the Sect recently, his overall experience paled in comparison to elder disciples. To acquire resources during missions, he needed to know more.
Otherwise, even with benefits right before his eyes, he could likely miss out on opportunities due to recognition failures.
With this realization, Qin Feng directed more energy into studying; not only did he attend teachings at the Preaching Pavilion daily, but he also frequented the Scripture Pavilion to browse various texts, such that apart from Liu Wuxiang, with whom he was relatively familiar, he barely spoke much with other disciples who had joined the Sect together with him.
And his diligent attitude had also influenced Liu Wuxiang, causing the young man to frequently join him in the Book Collection Pavilion to sift through various texts.
Qin Feng felt that the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect should be considered very knowledgeable and talented cultivators, as they needed to learn an extensive array of subjects.
Even specializing in the knowledge of a single type of Spiritual Beast could take years of dedicated study.
Those disciples who often undertook missions outdoors and roamed through wilderness and mountains needed to understand as much as possible about the Magic Divine Powers, habits, and exploitable weaknesses of various Demon Beasts.
When immersed in the pursuit of knowledge, time passed exceedingly quickly, and before they knew it, several months had slipped by.
One day, Liu Xuanling gathered all the new disciples to announce something,
“All disciples, one year after your initiation, the Sect will give you a chance to undertake a trial to find a suitable Spiritual Beast.
The trial lands of the one hundred and eight peaks of the Outer Sect differ, but generally, they are not too dangerous. After all, most of you have just joined the Sect for a year, and you are mostly in the Qi Refining Early Stage, so the Sect wouldn’t send you to exceedingly perilous areas.
However, if some of you believe your strength is adequate and choose to venture deeper in search of better Spiritual Beasts, that is up to you.”
Liu Xuanling’s tone was indifferent, “The trial land for my Spiritual Snake Peak is in Mist Swamp. Let me remind you that this swamp is teeming with Poison Insects and many of the Demon Beasts living there are adept at camouflage. It would be best if you prepared in advance to avoid panic when the time comes.
This time, Elder Yin Qi will lead the team. Later, each of you will receive a Spirit Talisman for emergency use; if you face danger, you can activate it. However, whether you can hold on until Elder Yin Qi arrives will depend on your luck.
After all, Mist Swamp is vast, and you will definitely not stay together. If you scatter in different directions to seek your own fortunes, Elder Yin Qi might not be able to reach you in time.
Therefore, I advise those of you who are not strong, not to wander around like those disciples with higher Cultivation and end up losing lives as has often happened in the past.”
These words immediately caused unease and worry among the disciples.

They had initially thought that the Sect arranging trials was an opportunity to find Spiritual Beasts, not anticipating the danger.
However, they couldn’t object, after all, the Sect couldn’t possibly arrange for highly cultivated cultivators to provide one-on-one protection during the trial.
On the other hand, those disciples from noble families seemed unperturbed; they had long been aware of these matters and, possessing higher levels of Cultivation and some already in the Qi Refining Late Stage, believed they were well-prepared and considered the trial for new disciples below their concern.
In fact, Liu Xuanling left out some details.
The trial lands for new disciples had been cleared by the Sect beforehand and weren’t dangerous. Essentially, these trials were intended by the Sect to test the disciples’ Cultivation and knowledge, while also giving them a chance to find a Spiritual Beast.
Even if many disciples were lacking in Cultivation, as long as their knowledge was solid, they could still find their opportunities in the trial lands. It all depended on whether they had listened attentively in the Preaching Pavilion and mastered the teachings passed down by their predecessors.
“You have two days to prepare. Gather here the morning after next; do not miss the time, as no one will wait for you.”
With a lazy wave of his hand, Liu Xuanling said, “Alright, I’ve said all I need to, you can disperse now.”
