Chapter 192 : Dragon-Tiger Kan-Li

Chapter 192: Dragon-Tiger Kan-Li

“This little fellow is quite good. Even after soaring to success, he didn’t forget his friends and stepped in to help you settle the Cultivation Loan.”

After Chen Beiwu left, the Illusion-Tailed Fox finally walked out of the bedroom, speaking in an old and lofty tone: “Now that you’re no longer burdened by the Cultivation Loan, under my guidance, you’ll surely be able to pass the exam next year and enter the Seven-Nine Upper Sect, rising like a trapped dragon ascending to the abyss.”

“Wouldn’t the Yuqing Immortal Sect be fine?” Chen Qin smiled sweetly. “I want to become Little Wu’s junior. That would definitely be interesting.”

“The waters of the Upper Three Immortal Sects run too deep.” The Illusion-Tailed Fox shook its head and advised: “The Seven-Nine Upper Sect is actually our best choice.”

“Senior Hu, didn’t you say before that you had a way for me to cultivate flawless Qi?” Chen Qin looked at the Illusion-Tailed Fox and suddenly asked.

The latter rolled its eyes. “Didn’t you say you didn’t want to learn before? Why have you changed your mind now? Don’t tell me you just want to let that brat take advantage of you.”

Ignoring Senior Hu’s teasing, Chen Qin said bluntly: “Is that not possible?”

“You really need to fix this damn lovesick brain of yours. Aren’t you afraid that boy might leak the secret and expose my true self?”

The Illusion-Tailed Fox let out a sigh, its tone helpless, though deep down it was rather satisfied with Chen Qin’s personality of repaying kindness and seeking revenge when wronged.

“If it weren’t for Little Wu, I’d already be dead.” Chen Qin spoke without reservation. “To be honest, compared to Senior Hu, I trust Little Wu more.”

“Fine, fine, but let me be clear upfront—if we get exposed, I won’t be running away with you.” The Illusion-Tailed Fox curled its lips.

……

Back in the cultivation chamber, Chen Beiwu was just about to activate the Gate of Ten Directions to teleport to the Southern Wilds when he suddenly noticed a faint thread of orange fortune glow appear in the Chaos World.

‘What’s going on?’

Chen Beiwu’s eyes flickered, his thoughts racing.

The orange fortune he had accumulated had already been used up before the final college exam began.

During this time, even though he had used the Nine-Breath Qi-Swallowing Divine Ability daily to gather fortune, the Chaos World only accumulated seven strands of green fortune. It was absolutely impossible for it to nurture even a single wisp of orange fortune.

Chen Beiwu waved his right hand, capturing the drifting orange fortune into his palm to observe carefully.

Could it be that changing someone else’s (Sister Qin’s) fortune allowed him to seize a wisp of fortune?

No, that wasn’t right.

If that were the case, back on Qingsu Island, when he reported the embezzlement that led to the fall of three Foundation Establishment cultivators, he should not have failed to seize even a shred of fortune.

Perhaps killing didn’t work, but helping someone transform their fortune allowed him to gain a wisp?

If so, wouldn’t he have to become a kind old grandpa, giving guidance to talented cultivation geniuses and thereby harvesting their fortune?

“Buzz buzz!”

At this moment, Chen Beiwu’s phone vibrated, popping up a message from Sister Qin.

“To show my gratitude, I left something in your delivery locker. Remember to keep it a secret for me, okay…”

Seeing this message, Chen Beiwu got up and went downstairs, entered the pickup code, and retrieved a neatly packaged box from the locker.

Back in the second-floor cultivation chamber, he unwrapped it, revealing an ancient book that seemed to have quite some years behind it.

‘Secret Record of Primordial Dragon-Tiger Kan-Li’

Chen Beiwu raised an eyebrow and opened the record.

“Water and fire in harmony, the Qi apertures circulate.”

“Yin and yang intertwine, stirring dragon and tiger.”

“Fix crude fire, slay the Red Dragon.”

“Subdue the White Tiger, enter wondrous emptiness.”

“Borrow the resonance of Heaven and Earth, merge with the rising and descending of dragon and tiger, prove the innate One Qi, and steal a trace of Heaven’s secret.”

“……”

After skimming through the entire record, Chen Beiwu finally understood why Sister Qin hadn’t given it to him directly but instead passed it along through the delivery locker.

The reason was simple—the Secret Record of Primordial Dragon-Tiger Kan-Li was not an ordinary cultivation method, but a dual cultivation art with a long lineage, pointing directly toward the Golden Core stage.

Chen Beiwu pulled out his phone, opened the Immortal Alliance’s official website, and searched the four keywords “Dragon-Tiger Kan-Li.”

The result came back: nothing.

Clearly, this was a Heaven-grade cultivation art that wasn’t listed on the Immortal Alliance’s website or made available for sale.

Why say so?

Because at the end of the record, Chen Beiwu discovered that this method could help a cultivator achieve flawless Qi Refinement, forge a flawless Dao Foundation, and even a Grade-One Dragon-Tiger Golden Core.

The only problem was that this cultivation method was extremely difficult to practice, requiring a suitable special spiritual physique for dual cultivation to have even a chance of success, and large portions of the content were missing.

“Heavy-Mountain Spirit Physique—acupoints layered like nine towering mountains. Dual cultivating with this physique allows one’s body to be tempered through its apertures, increasing by thirty percent the chance of forging an immortal body.”

“Jade-Moist Spirit Physique—spinal column bearing nine knots, dantian like moist jade, capable of storing the spirit fluid of the four seas. Dual cultivating with this physique allows impure mana to be refined into rootless mana, with a twenty percent chance of forming an Upper Third-Rank Golden Core.”

“Cold-Reflection Spirit Physique—spirit platform condensed with frost soul, breathing out moonlight. Dual cultivating with this physique enhances divine sense, refining Cold-Reflection Divine Sense.”

“Dark-Female Spirit Physique—meridians meandering like the ancient River Map, three inches below the navel a sea-eye is born. Dual cultivating with this physique can transform mana into innate One Qi, achieving flawless Qi Refinement.”

“Crow-Resting Spirit Physique—body harboring solar true fire. Dual cultivating with this physique allows yin to be supplemented by yang, with a thirty percent chance of forging a Grade-One Dragon-Tiger Golden Core.”

“White-Tiger Spirit Physique—body harboring the western Geng’s lunar qi. Dual cultivating with this physique allows yang to be supplemented by yin, with a thirty percent chance of forging a Grade-One Dragon-Tiger Golden Core.”

“……”

At this, Chen Beiwu’s eyes revealed a thoughtful look.

Compared to the Yuqing Immortal Sect’s Supreme Sutra of Boundless Salvation of Taiyuan, this Secret Record of Primordial Dragon-Tiger Kan-Li was clearly several tiers inferior, not even on the same level.

If he wasn’t mistaken, this record was the fortuitous encounter that had caused Sister Qin’s fortune to change.

What puzzled Chen Beiwu, however, was that Sister Qin was not one of the special physiques listed in the record.

Even if she had obtained this Heaven-grade cultivation art and successfully cultivated it, her fortune should not have suddenly transformed to orange-gold.

After a moment’s hesitation, Chen Beiwu dispelled the thought of digging deeper.

Everyone had their secrets.

No matter how great the secret hidden in Sister Qin, it was at most on the level of orange-gold fortune. It could never surpass his own, possessing divine abilities and Nine-Breath Chaos.

Moreover, since Sister Qin was willing to share this fortuitous encounter with him, it showed deep trust. Chen Beiwu didn’t want to betray that trust.

“Dark-Female Spirit Physique, White-Tiger Spirit Physique!”

Committing the features of the two special physiques firmly to memory, Chen Beiwu carefully put away the Secret Record of Primordial Dragon-Tiger Kan-Li.

Having one more cultivation path was always a good thing.

If the progress of exchanging for the Heaven-Revolving Wheel Art turned out poorly, he could search for the possessor of the Dark-Female Spirit Physique and attempt flawless Foundation Establishment through this record.

With that thought, Chen Beiwu activated the Gate of Ten Directions and teleported to the Southern Wilds.

……

In the sect, within the Hall of Mysteries.

“Apologies, Junior Brother Chen, I truly can’t help.” Deacon Zhao Heng shook his head.

Fifteen thousand contribution points was simply too much. Even though he had racked his brains these past few days, he had only managed to gather twelve hundred contribution points, and that was by exchanging them at a four-to-one ratio.

“Twelve hundred will do.” Chen Beiwu took out four thousand eight hundred spirit stones from his storage ring.

Excluding the 9624.28 balance in his phone account and the fifty-thousand spirit yuan check, after this transaction, he would only have twelve hundred low-grade spirit stones and fifty-six mid-grade spirit stones left.

Taking the spirit stones, Zhao Heng hesitated for a moment, then quietly disclosed a piece of news to Chen Beiwu.

“If Junior Brother Chen urgently needs contribution points, I happen to know of a good sect mission.”
