the entire class seemed to explode into chaos as almost all the students rushed toward the cultivation rooms at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the few around Chen Beiwu stood up slowly and leisurely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most students at Shouhe No.2 High School came from fairly well-off families, so they rarely lacked spirit stones to rent cultivation rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, the First-Tier High-Grade Cultivation Rooms at school were always full to bursting—one had to compete with speed to secure one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chen Beiwu was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wallet was rather flat, so he usually used the free First-Tier Mid-Grade Cultivation Rooms, which generally didn't require competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Xu Ziqing and her companion, both came from cultivation families with extraordinary backgrounds and mostly used Second-Tier Cultivation Rooms—most likely they looked down on the school's First-Tier ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is so unfair!\" Xu Lingling complained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was late last time and got punished by the homeroom teacher to stand the entire class, and my legs were sore from standing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why doesn't Chen Beiwu get punished for the same?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look at your grades and look at Beiwu’s—where in this world is there fairness?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her, Liu Yan suddenly interjected, \"In Teacher Wang Kui's words: one fast step leads to fast steps all the way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Beiwu managed to contract a spirit beast during his second year, covering the shortcoming of Qi Refining cultivators—he’s said to be a once-in-a-century genius in Shouhe No.2 High School and even the principal sees him as a future disciple of the Immortal Sects.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch, keep boasting,\" Xu Lingling pouted, glancing at her best friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even someone like Ziqing, a genius of the cultivation world, doesn’t dare claim she’ll definitely get into the Thirteen Immortal Sects, let alone Chen Beiwu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lingling, stop it,\" Xu Ziqing spoke up to cut her off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph, I’ll say it anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who told him to always bully me—a weak girl?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What \"turned his back\"—what a guy with no taste!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had a naturally beautiful figure!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At her words, Chen Beiwu raised his eyes slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A beam of early morning light shone through the window, casting a soft halo over Xu Lingling’s jet-black glossy hair, lending her delicate features a gentle glow that gave an illusion of freshness and purity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes—an illusion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, Xu Lingling wore a fresh blue-and-white school uniform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cuffs of her top fluttered in the wind, faintly revealing pale skin so fair it seemed sickly, as if a breeze could blow her away—giving her a fragile air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she had absolutely nothing to do with being a \"weak girl.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did that mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First lesson for cultivators: never judge an opponent's strength by appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Lingling was a textbook example of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Beiwu had never seen another \"weak girl\" who could yank up a full-grown willow tree and use it as a weapon in combat class, defeating ten classmates in a row without running out of strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She even had a well-known nickname in the second-year class—\"Human Tyrannosaurus.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Basically, no one dared mess with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Beep beep!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Chen Beiwu’s phone buzzed twice in his pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took it out and saw that his application for the right to purchase a spirit beast had been approved by their homeroom teacher Wang Kui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another message confirmed his qualification from the Spirit Beast Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing the undisguised joy in Chen Beiwu’s eyes, Xu Ziqing asked, \"Is it news from the Spirit Beast Pavilion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah,\" Chen Beiwu didn’t hide it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The departure date is set for the fifteenth of this month.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mine too,\" Xu Ziqing gave a gentle smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then we’ll probably leave for Dragonfall Prefecture together with the teacher.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Yuan Kong County had a Golden Core cultivator stationed there, it didn’t qualify to build an official Spirit Beast Pavilion under the Immortal Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talented cultivators from the six surrounding counties who wanted to receive spirit beasts allocated by the Immortal Alliance had to go to a higher-level prefectural city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, Lingling and I are going to Still Abyss Lake this afternoon to enjoy the scenery and do some fishing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Want to come along?\" Xu Ziqing invited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the hundreds of cultivation arts, the Way of Fishing was considered a fringe path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it could help cultivators cultivate their temperament and refine their character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some particularly insightful cultivators could even use fishing to comprehend nature and improve their cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the Way of Fishing wasn’t very popular in Dragonfall Prefecture until three hundred years ago, when the True Lord of Still Abyss emerged from nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The True Lord of Still Abyss was originally named Fang Shanglong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was from Pingkong County and a graduate of Mirror Lake Sword Sect—one of the Seven-Nine Upper Sects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a Nascent Soul True Lord with a resounding reputation in Dragonfall Prefecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most widely circulated and talked-about tale about him was “those who are willing will bite the hook,” a story even Chen Beiwu had heard countless times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Shanglong grew up poor with average talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the age of eighteen, he was so unremarkable that he had no hope of even entering the Ninety-Nine Orthodox Clans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he never gave up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every day he went to Still Abyss River, holding a straight hook three feet above the water, and fished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kept fishing for a whole month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passing cultivators would shake their heads, saying that without using spiritual energy, he could fish for a hundred years and still not catch a single fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But half a year later, an extremely rare Red-Tailed Goldfish leaped high from the Still Abyss River and bit the hook—Fang Shanglong contracted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From then on, Fang Shanglong’s cultivation improved rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just six months, he was admitted into the Mirror Lake Sword Sect and eventually achieved the rank of True Lord, taking Still Abyss as his dao title.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that tale spread, many cultivators in Dragonfall Prefecture became fascinated by the Way of Fishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would visit Still Abyss River to fish, either out of interest or hoping to become the next True Lord of Still Abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe next time,\" Chen Beiwu declined politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the two girls' figures gradually fade into the distance, Liu Yan sighed, \"As expected of you—the famous Iron Wall of Shouhe No.2 High.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"?\" Chen Beiwu looked at him in confusion, saying nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, Beiwu, are you really that clueless, or are you just pretending?\" Liu Yan said, exasperated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xu Ziqing obviously likes you—there’s no way you haven’t noticed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ridiculous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you put as much effort into cultivation as you do into nonsense, maybe you’d actually break into the top fifty in the grade rankings,\" Chen Beiwu shot him a glance and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch, cultivating’s nowhere near as sweet as Xu Ziqing!\" Liu Yan shook his head and smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t need to say it—you’ve probably heard of the fame of the Xu Clan of Dragonfall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re a cultivation family with a Nascent Soul True Lord!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What—are you thinking of freeloading off her?\" Chen Beiwu paused his step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh, what’s wrong with freeloading?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These days, many cultivators would kneel for the chance and still find no door.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let alone freeloading off someone as sweet as Xu Ziqing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Yan didn’t mince words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xu Ziqing has a tall figure, pretty face, sweet voice, and outstanding talent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although she’s not the main daughter of the Xu Clan, just a concubine-born girl, she can still easily acquire the Five Elements of Foundation Establishment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you could win her heart, reaching Foundation Establishment would be a breeze.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of which, Liu Yan looked at Chen Beiwu with a tone of regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s a pity I have an average face and only a single Metal-Attribute True Root.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I had your looks and talent, I’d have gotten the girl already.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Foundation Establishment is nothing special—there’s no need to use the Five Elements for that,\" Chen Beiwu shook his head and left for the cultivation room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Different paths do not lead to the same destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he and Liu Yan were deskmates, their personalities and values clashed, so they weren’t particularly close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Foundation Establishment is nothing special?\" Liu Yan stared blankly in the direction Chen Beiwu disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone was tinged with jealousy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So arrogant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Without the Five Elements’ help, even Earth-Grade Roots have only a fifty percent chance to break through to Foundation Establishment—just two percent more than True Roots.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One day, you’ll regret it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1416,"2026-06-03T12:06:32.821Z",1,"novelbin.me","75dbb702517c6d061324d32533579c3092bb448bd56deb925df6c7e88054c77e","beast-taming-cultivator-from-two-realms-chapter-9","beast-taming-cultivator-from-two-realms-chapter-7",316,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-cultivator-from-two-realms-cover.jpg"]
