Beast Taming Makes Me Stronger-Chapter 7 - Earth Spirit Rat

Upon hearing this, Xu Feng immediately directed his Divine Thought toward the direction where Xiao Jin was located.

Watching Xu Feng's Divine Thought drift away, the nine-tailed lady continued to comb the fur of the little fox in her arms.

In the midst of a vast forest of giant trees, the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle stared at a millennium-old Golden Hope Grass, its four short legs unable to move it an inch.

"Let's go. Leave these thousand-year-old Spiritual Medicines until after you've reached the Foundation Establishment Stage."

"They're all yours."

This scene unfolded as soon as he found the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle.

Upon hearing Xu Feng's persuasion, the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle started to scuttle toward the 200-year-old Vermilion Fruit and sprinted off in its direction.

"If only I could take these Spiritual Medicines out, then I could try to learn Alchemy."

After entering the Immortal Sect, Xu Feng had always wanted to start a side business, but the threshold was too high, even for the lowest threshold of Talisman Master, which was more than he could afford at the moment.

Talismans, Arrays, Alchemy, Artifact Refining—Xu Feng wanted to learn all four of these highly sought-after side businesses.

Thinking of this, a flash of Spirit Light suddenly burst in Xu Feng's mind.

"It's said that some spiritually gifted Spiritual Beasts can refine Elixirs and Artifacts, and write talismans themselves."

"If I could catch one and bring it here, then wouldn't I have an endless supply of materials?"

"But how to get it out is another problem."

Before long, the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle arrived next to the 200-year-old Vermilion Fruit.

Skillfully, it dug out the Vermilion Fruit with both roots and leaves intact and swallowed it whole.

After eating, it immediately digested it using the Breathing Technique.

Xu Feng watched the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle with an affectionate gaze akin to that of a father.

"If Xiao Jin keeps growing at this pace, becoming an Immortal Beast in the future will definitely not be a problem."

"As long as I can survive, I will surely become a powerful figure in the future."

Xu Feng had thought about raising another familiar, but his soul strength was limited; he wasn't interested in common Spiritual Beasts, nor could he get his hands on very strong ones.

The Golden Armored Spirit Turtle was the only one he could cultivate at the moment.

Inside the cultivation room, Xu Feng slowly opened his eyes.

After settling the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle in the Beast Breeding Room, he began his daily cultivation.

The sun rose, and a ray of sunlight pierced through the array into the cultivation room.

"Recently, my mind is clear, and my cultivation speed has also increased."

Just when he was pleased, the Communication Magic Artifact rang.

"Brother Xu, are you interested in taking on a mission to capture a Spiritual Beast?"

A rough voice came from the communicator.

"I'll provide the location and Magic Treasures, you handle the capture, and it happens to be a Level B mission."

"You're in charge of transport, just the right opportunity for your Iron Feather Birds to get some early practice."

Three sentences convinced Xu Feng to take on the mission.

Without this mission, he would have had to look for other tasks to do this year anyway.

"Sure~"

At Beast Breeding Peak, Xu Feng met up with a man nearly ten feet tall.

"Brother Li," Xu Feng called out with an upward glance.

"Xu Junior, when I saw this mission, I immediately thought of you. Our cooperation will definitely be flawless," Li Qianlian said with a grin.

After joining the sect, Xu Feng had always kept a low profile, but by doing missions, he also got to know a few fellow sect members with compatible temperaments, and the person in front of him, Li Qianlian, was one of them.

Miles away from the Golden Cauldron Immortal Sect, on a layer of clouds.

Ten Iron Feather Birds flew in formation.

"Xu Junior, you've raised these ten birds well; it won't be long until they evolve into Spiritual Beasts."

"By then, I'll have to respectfully call you 'Boss Xu.'"

The robust voice, even amidst the high winds aloft, could not be drowned out.

"Brother Li, you're making fun of me."

"To think my little business could catch your eye, the Body Refinement big shot is not just a title," Xu Feng immediately replied.

As the saying goes, 'the rich excel in martial prowess, while the literate in the arts'—this saying applies in the Immortal Realm as well.

Entering the path of body refinement requires lofty prerequisites. Not only do you need relative talent but also a large amount of Spirit Stones to purchase Spiritual Medicine and to temper the body in secret realms.

Therefore, in the Immortal Realm, if you see a cultivator from the body refining lineage, he may not be the most talented, but he is definitely wealthy.

Hearing Xu Feng's teasing, Li Qianlian just smiled.

On a desolate plain, ten Iron Feather Birds slowly landed.

First, Xu Feng took out two bottles of elixirs, feeding each bird a Feeding Spirit Pill and a Wind Walking Pill, then let them roam freely.

"Let's go, the Earth Spirit Rat's activity range is a hundred miles ahead."

Li Qianlian said as he took out a yellow treasure pearl and handed it to Xu Feng.

"Earth Vein Treasure Pearl, a high-grade treasure at that." Looking at the yellow pearl in his hand, Xu Feng almost drooled.

To raise those ten Iron Feather Birds, Xu Feng had no treasure besides the magic artifact given by his parents.

"It's just a treasure; if Xu Junior Brother likes it, then take it." Li Qianlian said.

There were very few in the Immortal Sect who could accommodate his temperament, and the one in front of him was one of them.

"I won't accept an unmerited gift; Senior Brother Li is too kind."

The two spoke as they concealed their aura and flew towards the direction of the Earth Spirit Rat.

"This is an Earth Spirit Rat that has just entered the Foundation Establishment stage. I saw it passing by here some time ago."

"It just so happens that there is a corresponding mission in the sect, and I have a suitable magic treasure."

"Plus Xu Junior Brother's unparalleled escape technique and Qi Explosion divine skill."

"As long as the Earth Spirit Rat shows its head, we've got it in our grasp." Li Qianlian confidently stated.

The first time Xu Feng met Li Qianlian, he had a strange feeling.

The physically imposing body refining expert turned out to be a chatterbox.

"Xu Junior Brother, among the brothers who entered the sect with you, your speed can definitely rank in the top 10."

"Add to that your Qi Explosion Technique, which you've practiced to perfection, ordinary peers at the same level truly have no way to deal with you."

"Once you nurture your Spirit Turtle, your future is limitless."

"After you reach the Golden Core stage, are you interested in forming a team to explore the Lower Realm?"

Li Qianlian continued talking, not caring whether Xu Feng responded or not.

At that moment, Xu Feng suddenly reached out a hand to stop Li Qianlian.

"The Earth Vein Treasure Pearl detected movements in the earth below; judging by the spiritual power response, it should be the Earth Spirit Rat." Xu Feng whispered.

"The approximate location, if it's shallow I'll blast it out." Li Qianlian said, flexing his muscles.

"One hundred and twenty zhang ahead, probably eight zhang deep." Xu Feng pointed to a small raised hill in front.

"Leave it to me!"

Li Qianlian's figure swelled to five zhang tall, like a small mountain, and directly charged towards the area Xu Feng had pointed to.

Xu Feng quickly used the Earth Vein Treasure Pearl to seal off the surrounding area of that region.

Like a millstone-sized fist, it violently hammered onto the surface of the earth.

"Boom!!"

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

Like a missile burrowing into the earth, the whole ground began to churn.

Just as the earth waves surged, a streak of yellow light rapidly flew out from the rolling earth.

"Xu Junior Brother!" Li Qianlian roared.

"Leave it to me!"

Xu Feng wielded the Earth Vein Treasure Pearl, launching himself with Qi Explosion Technique, turning into a streak of escape light in pursuit.

Under the influence of the Earth Vein Treasure Pearl, the Earth Spirit Rat couldn't burrow and could only sprint on the surface.

But its speed was definitely beyond what an average Foundation Establishment cultivator could catch.

And Xu Feng closely followed in the sky.

As he pursued the Earth Spirit Rat, one of Xu Feng's hands seemed to have transformed into an Abyss Giant Mouth, endlessly devouring the air around him.

"Little thing, think you can run!"

A special streamlined protective shield enveloped Xu Feng, and then a terrifying Qi Explosion Technique blasted from the designated exhaust port on the shield.

"Peng!"

Xu Feng instantly accelerated to his maximum speed, flying above the Earth Spirit Rat's head.

The hand that had been absorbing the air around slowly enveloped the Earth Spirit Rat.
