It is not a Snow-Skinned Shark,” Ma Dongmei said. “Therefore, this task cannot be counted as complete.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Sister, could you take another look?” Li Lin hesitated for a moment, then drew a few low-grade Spirit Stones from her sleeve and slipped them into Ma Dongmei’s palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Dongmei stepped back, her face showing a troubled expression. “Junior Sister, you misunderstand. You also need to understand your Senior Sister’s difficulties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Snow-Skinned Shark’s dorsal fin is like jade, its tail fin like thin gauze, its scales translucent like glazed glass, and under sunlight they shine with a pearly luster.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Spirit Fish you brought, though its scales, dorsal fin, and tail fin resemble those of the Snow-Skinned Shark, under sunlight it glimmers with iridescent hues instead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Li Lin pressed her lips together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All spirits were different, none exactly the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her Spirit Fish was a Snow-Skinned Shark variant, hence the scales gleamed with rainbow patterns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other party was a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the water attribute. How could she not distinguish a variant from a common fish?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The task wall already lists the various features of the Snow-Skinned Shark. According to sect law, even if a single trait fails to meet the standard, I cannot count your task as complete. Otherwise, I would bear the responsibility.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Dongmei paused, feigned compromise, and whispered, “How about this—Senior Sister Lin usually likes collecting Spirit Fish, and she has long kept a bounty posted on the task wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although your Spirit Fish does not meet the Snow-Skinned Shark’s standard, it fits Senior Sister Lin’s request. Why not switch tasks to complete that one instead?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she finished, she handed over a private bounty slip, on which was written: Purchase of various rare Spirit Fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Lin received the bounty slip and instantly understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other party, being a Foundation Establishment cultivator, was not ignorant. On the contrary, Senior Sister Ma was making things difficult precisely because she knew too well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sect’s bounty for a Snow-Skinned Shark gave only five hundred contribution points, whereas this private bounty offered one hundred more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…” Li Lin’s face revealed a troubled look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Completing a sect bounty and completing a private disciple’s bounty were two entirely different matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The former’s contribution points could be included in the sect’s assessment index, while the latter’s could not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering time, cultivation efficiency, and other costs, she much preferred to complete the former.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I still have work to do. If you really cannot decide, Junior Sister Li, you can go back and think it over,” Ma Dongmei said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Snow-Skinned Shark’s variant was also called the Beauty Shark, a living beautifying spirit sought after by Foundation Establishment female cultivators outside the sect. A single one could fetch a price of several thousand Spirit Stones. Yet, within the sect, it was not rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Mirror Moon Sect was a renowned alchemy sect in the Earth Proliferation Territory. Female cultivators who cared about their appearance would mostly choose a second-tier superior Spirit Pill, the Beauty-Retaining Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other party was merely a Qi Refining cultivator. If she refused to yield, the Beauty Shark would just rot in her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Li Lin had also realized this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gritted her teeth and was about to accept the private bounty when Chen Beiwu, who had been quietly observing nearby, suddenly spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Junior Sister, I’ve already waited a quarter-hour. If possible, may I submit my task first?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At those words, Li Lin instinctively stepped aside and soon saw a familiar figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Dongmei frowned instinctively, but upon lifting her head and seeing Chen Beiwu’s face, her frown vanished, replaced by a bright smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Senior Brother, may I ask what task you wish to submit?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the required Queen Bee Honey for the collection task,” Chen Beiwu said, taking out two jade bottles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Dongmei accepted the bottles, opened them, and after a brief glance her smile grew even brighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Brother Chen, the Queen Bee Honey you collected is of excellent quality. You may receive eight hundred contribution points,” she said crisply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Li Lin’s palm clenched within her sleeve, her fingertips digging deep into her flesh, her knuckles pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them had overfulfilled sect tasks, yet she was met with endless obstacles while Senior Brother Chen’s was settled with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior Sister Ma truly knew how to treat people differently!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when his identity jade slip registered an additional eight hundred contribution points did Chen Beiwu turn toward Li Lin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Lin suppressed her dissatisfaction, bowed respectfully, and said, “Senior Brother Chen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Junior Sister Li, will you sell this Spirit Fish?” Chen Beiwu asked bluntly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Immortal Alliance, the Snow-Skinned Shark was called the Jade-Faced Shark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its official website price was as high as one thousand five hundred Spirit Yuan, marking it as a rare second-tier superior Spirit Fish, constantly in short supply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once, a Foundation Establishment cultivator in Fallen Dragon Manor had fished a Snow-Skinned Shark from the main flow of the Still Abyss River. It was instantly bid up by fishing fanatics to a terrifying price of two thousand five hundred Spirit Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jade-Faced Shark before him was still a variant, and its worth was even higher than that one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, female cultivators of the Immortal Alliance, in pursuit of beauty, never hesitated to spend Spirit Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Brother Chen, you want this Snow-Skinned Shark?” Li Lin was slightly taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike female cultivators, male cultivators of the Southern Wastes usually focused on Spirit Fish that could enhance their strength, not on those that could beautify skin and delay aging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes,” Chen Beiwu replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rare things were valuable. Rather than selling it off, the best use for this Snow-Skinned Shark variant was as a gift to repay favors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Beiwu had not forgotten—his Yellow-Tailed Dendrobium business thrived not because of product quality alone, but because someone powerful was backing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for Xu Lingling disdaining such petty ventures, he would even have shared some profits with her, in exchange for the protection of a Golden Core True Person, ensuring his online trade ran smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If Senior Brother likes it, five hundred contribution points will do,” Li Lin seized the chance decisively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was a mere hundred points?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason she was belittled and obstructed was her low cultivation and lack of backing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this gave her a chance to build some connection with Senior Brother Chen, then completing tasks in the Task Hall would go much smoother in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright,” Chen Beiwu nodded, then turned to Ma Dongmei. “Please help me post a bounty for acquiring Spirit Fish, with a reward of five hundred contribution points.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem,” Ma Dongmei said with her same bright smile, completing the task procedures for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Much obliged.” After speaking, Chen Beiwu glanced at Li Lin and handed her a Messaging Talisman. “Junior Sister Li, if you plan to sell Spirit Fish in the future, you can contact me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Lin nodded, relieved, and left the Task Hall. Chen Beiwu then walked to the task wall at the center of the hall, continuing to search for suitable tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Spirit Field Pest Removal. Requirement: Late-Stage Qi Refining. Clear out the exotic insects [Three-Dipper Locusts] infesting the herb fields. Reward: fifty contribution points.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cold Pool Mining. Requirement: Late-Stage Qi Refining. Water-Earth dual-attribute root cultivators skilled in mining arts. For every two catties of Cold Pool Profound Iron extracted, reward: one hundred contribution points.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Copying Cultivation Methods. Requirement: None. Transcribe and upload cultivation methods. If verified by the Moon-in-Water Mirror as genuine and not yet included in the Transmission Hall, contribution points will be awarded according to the method’s grade.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the last bounty, Chen Beiwu’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowledge is wealth. The ancients never deceived me!\u003C\u002Fp>",1320,"2026-06-03T12:06:33.100Z",1,"novelbin.me","3127997184aecab6ddcef52b41394d5918c806551c1985799a450d7fb3b636d2","beast-taming-cultivator-from-two-realms-chapter-106","beast-taming-cultivator-from-two-realms-chapter-104",316,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-cultivator-from-two-realms-cover.jpg"]
