Chapter 1: News of the Selection of Legacy Disciples

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

East Barren, Tian Xuan Sect, Qing Xuan Market.

The atmosphere was quite lively, and there were a lot of people coming and going. They were in a hurry, not wanting to waste any time. Occasionally, there were a few streaks of light that quickly flew across the sky, making people envious.

He Qingge was rushing about the market, searching for what he needed. As usual, he bought the Black Jade Stone that the Golden Jade White Tiger liked, the Sky Grass that the Iron Back Black Cow liked, and the Sour Fruit that the White Spirit Sheep liked.

He also bought 20 catties of spirit rice, 2 catties of demon beast meat, and some daily necessities.

Tian Xuan Sect, Imperial Beast Peak, Spirit Beast Garden No. 3.

He Qingge had a smile on his honest face. He was gently stroking the big white cat, the Golden Jade White Tiger. He was humming a song, but it was out of tune. He looked very relaxed, seemingly in a good mood.

“Why are you in such a good mood today? You have a silly smile on your face. Are you daydreaming about something beautiful?” A pleasant voice interrupted He Qingge’s thoughts.

Of course, He Qingge was in a good mood. He was finally about to accumulate 10,000 points from the Imperial Beast Peak. At the end of this month, he could exchange for a young spirit beast with the potential to build his foundation. This was the result of his 20 years of hard work. His strength should be able to increase quickly from then onward.

He had reincarnated. To put it simply, he transmigrated, and his journey thus far had been smooth sailing. When he was six years old, he was tested to have a spiritual root purity of 20. From then on, he embarked on the path of immortal cultivation. He was kind to others and good at dancing. He had never taken on a mission far away from the sect. His life was peaceful and easy. Now, he was already 26 years old and had reached the fourth level of Qi Refinement.

However, a spiritual root purity of 20 was too low. He was able to enter the sect because of his young age and strong willpower, which allowed him to pass the test of willpower.

When he cultivated to the first level of Qi Refinement, he awakened a powerful talent—Heart of the Beast.

[Talent: The Heart of Beast Taming]

[Abilities: 1. Contract. You can contract a pet for every major realm increase. At the time of the contract, the pet’s cultivation level must not be higher than your own by one major realm.]

[2. Sharing: All the abilities and talents of the contracted pet can be shared.]

[3. Pet affinity: All spirit beasts will have a good impression of you the first time they see you.]

[4. Insight: You’re able to gain a simple insight into the information of spirit beasts.]

This was also the reason why he was able to become the manager of Spirit Beast Garden No. 3 despite his mediocre strength and cultivation talent. The spirit beasts in the Spirit Beast Garden had a good impression of him. If it was not for the fact that his spirit root purity was relatively low, he would have been able to become an outer sect disciple of the Imperial Beast Peak with just his affinity with spirit beasts. Now, he could only be considered a servant disciple.

In his previous life, he read many cultivation and fantasy novels. Naturally, he knew he had to be cautious and hide his talent. After all, he did not know if there were any methods to seize talents in this world, such as digging out the Supreme Being Bone, seizing the divine pulse, or transplanting the spiritual root.

He had always been cautious in his actions. The most important thing was that he felt that his talent was too abnormal, so he did not dare to expose it. If he directly contracted a few spirit beasts, the consequences would be unimaginable.

A spiritual root purity of 20 was considered a relatively low level. Everyone in this world had spiritual roots, and the purity of spiritual roots affected the efficiency and quality of cultivation. It could be said to be quite important.

That was why He Qingge had decided to buy a baby spirit beast with the potential to build his foundation. However, even if a spirit beast with the potential to refine Qi could increase his affinity with spiritual Qi, the effects would be limited. After all, it was extremely difficult for a spirit beast with the potential to refine Qi to break through to the foundation level.

Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, He Qingge quickly said, “Good lady, I don’t have any extra Hundred Beast Milk here. If you want to drink it, you have to wait until next month.”

“Give me your share and I’ll tell you some good news.” Su Zimei’s eyes curved into a charming smile. Her black hair and veil were not exposed, and her pink feet were bare but spotless.

“What news?” From Su Zimei’s feet, he could tell that she was at least at the Foundation Establishment stage. Fortunately, he had met her early on. Otherwise, with his current strength and status, it would be impossible for him to talk to her.

“Give it to me first.” Su Zimei waved her hand. Her fair palm was more beautiful than jade.

He Qingge calmed down and did not look at her anymore. Such enchanting beauties were not something he could covet.

Su Zimei found He Qingge’s cautious behavior funny. He was still cautious to this day.

“Here.” As he spoke, he took out a jar of Hundred Beast Milk.

Su Zimei took a big gulp of the Hundred Beast Milk, leaving a white trace on the corner of her mouth. Then, she patted her stomach in satisfaction. “Your Hundred Beast Milk is still the best.”

“Speak! What news do you have?” He Qingge’s expression was solemn. He knew that Su Zimei must have some important news.

Su Zimei looked at the senseless man in front of her and felt a little angry. He used to be so good to her when she was young and even told her stories, but as she grew up, he became more and more distant from her.

“Hmph! My master is preparing to select the legacy disciples of Imperial Beast Peak.” Su Zimei snorted.

“You call this good news? What does it have to do with me?” He Qingge did not seem to care. He knew his own limits. There were countless people in Imperial Beast Peak who were stronger than him. No matter what, it was impossible for him to get a place.

“My master adopts a unique approach in his selection of disciples. You might have a chance.” Su Zi smiled charmingly.

“What do you mean?” He Qingge suddenly became spirited. If he could really find a backer, then he would.

“Sigh, I suddenly feel a little hungry.” Su Zimei gently caressed her lower abdomen with an uncomfortable expression on her face.

He Qingge was clearly annoyed. This lady was really good at acting. He looked up at the sky and said, “It just so happens that it’s noon now. I bought some demon beast meat today. Why don’t you stay and try my cooking?”

“Since you’re so enthusiastic and I can’t bear to reject you, I’ll accept your invitation!” Su Zimei immediately lay down on He Qingge’s rocking chair. She was relaxed and had no intention of acting reserved at all.

He Qingge was a little amused and touched. It was rare for a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage to talk to him, a mere fourth-level Qi Refinement cultivator, so calmly.

In his previous life, He Qingge was an online writer and a part-time food blogger. His cooking skills were not bad.

With a smile, he prepared the meat of the Iron Back Pork that he had just bought. His courtyard was filled with a rich fragrance.

Su Zimei’s nose twitched slightly, and her throat moved slightly. Looking at the busy He Qingge, she really wanted him to cook for her for the rest of her life so that she could eat different delicacies each time.

After the meal, Qingge asked again, “What are the specifics?”

“This time, my master won’t look at talent or strength when selecting legacy disciples. He’ll look at luck.” Su Zimei did not hide anything.

“Luck?” He Qingge frowned. It was not that he did not believe it but that this made it even more difficult. There was a chance of success if one worked hard according to one’s talent and strength, but if one were to rely on luck, then itwas purely dependent on the heavens.

Su Zimei’s master was the Peak Master of Imperial Beast Peak, and he was at least a Nascent Soul-Perfected Lord. Being able to cling to someone like him would guarantee his safety. He naturally did not want to miss the opportunity.

“Hehehe.” Looking at He Qingge’s helpless expression, Su Zimei raised her head slightly. The corners of her mouth were curled up as if she was saying, ‘Beg me, then!’

“You have a way?” He Qingge looked at Su Zimei’s sly smile and asked.

“I just don’t know if you’ll trust me or not.”

“Could it be that you know the selection questions and the answers?”

“Of course, I know the selection questions, but I don’t have the answers. Even so, my luck has always been good.” Su Zimei was smug as she stared at He Qingge. “So, do you trust me?”

“Tell me.”

“I’ll only tell you if you trust me. Otherwise, it might interfere with your choice and cause you to hesitate.” Su Zimei shook her head.

He Qingge simply said, “I trust you. Now tell me.”

He had never thought that he would get the chance to become the Peak Master’s disciple. His luck could only be said to be average. He definitely could not rely on himself for this selection.”

“I’m just giving you a reminder.” Su Zimei suddenly approached He Qingge and whispered in his ear before leaving.

He Qingge was stunned for a moment and murmured, “Everything is three times!”

Su Zimei’s words seemed to make no sense.

A few days later, as the end of the month approached, He Qingge’s mood gradually soared. His chance to change his fate was coming.
