Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 522 - 520 Beast Taming Sect

Several months later, in Sangyu Country of Hun State.

Thousands of miles of fertile fields, a majestic Immortal City spanning hundreds of miles stands between heaven and earth.

Dongming City, one of the most renowned Immortal Cities in Hun State, where a large number of Cultivators gather.

Among them, two top-tier Sects are rooted in Dongming City.

One is the Beast Taming Sect, a Sect known throughout the world for its Beast Taming, rumored to have a Nascent Soul Early Stage Rock Dragon as its guardian, which ordinary forces dare not provoke.

The other is Qiyun Tower, an extremely large Cultivation Family, headed by the Jing family. Ancestor Jing Long, also known as Old Jing Long, is a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator. He cultivates the Beast Spirit Technique, which can extract a portion of the lifespan of Spiritual Beasts for his own use, and it is said that he has lived for more than two thousand five hundred years, practically a living fossil in the Cultivation World.

Qiyun Tower is a huge family with great business, controlling over the Seventh-layer Spirit Stone mines, salt, iron commerce in the Hun State area, and is also the largest shareholder of Qingfu Square in Hun State.

In theory, the Beast Taming Sect could not compete with a behemoth like Qiyun Tower, but the charm lies in the fact that the Sect Master of the Beast Taming Sect, Lu Wenyao, has a father named Lu Yunzhou.

This Lu Yunzhou is a famed individual in the world, a Primordial Chaos Early Stage Warrior, revered as the Martial God of Hun State, and presides over the Martial God Pavilion in Dongming City.

Therefore, with Lu Yunzhou as their backer, the Beast Taming Sect has managed to stand equal with Qiyun Tower within the borders of Hun State.

...

At this moment, it is early in the morning, with clouds and mists lingering outside the city.

Within the clouds and mists, a figure breaks through the wind—a young Cultivator wearing a deep red robe appears full of vigor, emanating an aura of Nascent Soul Early Stage, and his eyes carry an unmistakable arrogance.

This person is a new identity assumed by Ning Daoran.

Fire Element True Monarch, a Loose Cultivator wandering in Sangyu Country, having cultivated alone in the deep mountains for years, hence not very famous in Jianghu.

Nevertheless, his Cultivation level is genuine, so the disguise he wears does not matter much.

"This senior,"

The City Guarding Cultivator, at the Late-stage Foundation Establishment, seeing that the visitor is a Nascent Soul True Monarch, immediately speaks gravely: "Junior dares to ask the senior’s name and whether you plan to settle in the Immortal City for long?"

"My surname is Ning, known as Fire Element True Monarch."

Ning Daoran’s gaze is somber: "As to whether I’ll settle down in Dongming City for long, that depends on whether this city has any value for me. Young lad, hand over the Token, I will stroll around the city myself."

"Yes, Senior!"

The Foundation Establishment Cultivator hastens to hand over a blank Jade Talisman to Ning Daoran. This talisman is needed upon first entering the city and is valid for only seven days; if one overstays, the City Guarding Cultivators will expel them. Normally, it costs ten Spirit Stones, but since the visitor is a Nascent Soul Cultivator, the fee is not mentioned to avoid angering him.

After Ning Daoran leaves, the Foundation Establishment Cultivator hurriedly sends out a Sound Transmission Talisman, gravely saying: "All squads be advised, a Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivator claiming to be Fire Element True Monarch has just entered the city, heading towards the north of the city. Immediately inform the Martial God Pavilion, and closely monitor this person’s movements!"

Afterward, as this Foundation Establishment Cultivator watches Ning Daoran’s retreating figure, he bites his teeth, wanting to follow, but not daring to do so!

...

In the north of the city, mountains loom high, a Fifth-order Spiritual Vein spans across them.

On top of the Spiritual Vein, numerous buildings built according to the terrain stretch for tens of miles, altogether ancient and simplistic. Disciples shuttle through the mountains with Tunneling Light, and the roars of Spiritual Beasts reverberate from time to time.

Beast Taming Sect, a famous Sect in Hun State.

"Young Master."

Inside the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven, Little Bai says, "It is said that this Beast Taming Sect has some kind of connection with the Beast Taming Sect in Qingzhou."

"That’s right."

Ning Daoran says: "I’ve also heard that this Beast Taming Sect was originally a Lower Sect established by the Beast Taming Sect of Qingzhou in Sangyu Country. But hundreds of years ago, the Upper Sect was wiped out by your Five Saints Sect, and this Lower Sect continued to grow and develop until it exceeded the original."

Little Bai’s pretty face flushes: "Those are things of the past, this servant no longer has such ferocity."

"I understand, no need to explain."

Ning Daoran rolls his eyes, hands behind his back, he soared straight up and reached the Mountain Gate of the Beast Taming Sect.

"I am Fire Element True Monarch, a Loose Cultivator wandering the Sangyu Country. I am passing through Dongming City and have come specially to meet with your esteemed Sect Master!"

"So it is Senior Fire Element!"

A Golden Core Early Stage Disciple responsible for guarding the Mountain Gate steps forward, holding a sword: "However, the Sect Master is not currently on the mountain, the Deputy Sect Master is in charge at the moment. I wonder if the Senior still plans to ascend?"

"That works."

Ning Daoran is slightly disappointed in his heart: "I heard that Deputy Sect Master Cao Yan of the Beast Taming Sect is fairly reasonable; seeing him would be acceptable."

"Very well!"

The Golden Core Disciple respectfully says: "In that case, please follow me up the mountain, Senior!"

Saying this, he sends a Sound Transmission Talisman to notify in advance, then leads Ning Daoran up the mountain.

At the peak of the mountain, the Great Hall of the Beast Taming Sect is especially imposing, with disciples lined up at the door, extremely stringent in discipline.

"Senior Fire Element!"

From within the Great Hall, an old man in a short shirt, vigorous despite his age, emerges, with Golden Core Late Stage Cultivation—he is Vice Sect Master Cao Yan of the Beast Taming Sect. His appearance is ordinary, and his gaze holds a subtle ferocity.

The so-called reputable character was merely a polite phrase from Ning Daoran; in reality, Cao Yan does not have a good reputation in the Cultivation World of Hun State, known for being sinister, ruthless, and often criticized.

"I am Cao Yan, Deputy Sect Master of the Beast Taming Sect, honored to welcome the Senior up the mountain!"

"My young friend, you are too polite."

Ning Daoran, maintaining the demeanor of a Nascent Soul Senior, smiled and said, "I’ve heard that the Spiritual Tea from the Beast Taming Sect is unmatched in Hun State. I wonder if I, Ning, might have the honor of tasting it?"

"Senior speaks too kind. Please, come inside for the tea!"

"Thank you!"

In the main hall, two cups of Spiritual Tea from the Beast Taming Sect were swiftly consumed.

Cao Yan seemed slightly restless.

Ning Daoran no longer hid his intentions and said, "Ning has actually come to the mountain to conduct a business transaction with your Sect, but unfortunately Sect Master Lu is not present."

"I don’t know what business Senior wishes to conduct, but speaking to Cao would be the same."

"That’s excellent."

Ning Daoran cleared his throat and said, "I’ve heard that your Sect possesses an extremely mystical Spiritual Beast Secret known as the Five-Colored Deer Chanting Technique. Ning has long admired the name of this technique and has, therefore, come to Dongming City to request it. If your Sect is willing to provide a copy of the Five-Colored Deer Chanting Technique, Ning is willing to offer a Low-grade Spiritual Treasure, plus a Third-order Ancient Treasure in exchange. I wonder what Vice Sect Master Cao thinks of this proposal?"

"Five-Colored Deer Chanting Technique?"

Cao Yan showed a moment of unease, his face revealing difficulty.

"Is it then very difficult to proceed with this matter?"

"Indeed!"

Cao Yan said, "Junior doesn’t wish to mislead Senior. The Five-Colored Deer Chanting Technique is the Mountain Suppressing Skills of the Beast Taming Sect, only cultivatable by spiritual beasts of the third tier and above. It is our Sect’s secret not to be imparted. Not only is it not Cao’s place to decide, even if the Sect Master were here, she would not impart the Five-Colored Deer Chanting Technique either. After all, such an act would be tantamount to betraying our founder, I hope Senior can understand!"

"I see..."

Ning Daoran was slightly disappointed and said, "In that case, I shall not overstay my welcome. I will take my leave now, Vice Sect Master Cao, thank you for your hospitality!"

"Senior!"

Cao Yan quickly stood up, respectfully cupping his fist and said, "Since Senior has come to the Beast Taming Sect, why not be our guest for a few days? Our mountain is scenic and beautiful, a true treasure land. Moreover, the Sect Master will be returning soon. If she learns that I let Senior leave, the blame Cao would bear would be too great for me to handle."

"Vice Sect Master Cao is too courteous."

Ning Daoran smiled lightly and said, "I, Ning, am new to this treasured place and plan to reside in Dongming City for a while. Perhaps I will visit the mountain again."

"If that’s the case, I won’t press you to stay."

Ning Daoran stood up and turned into a streak of tunneling light and left.

Cao Yan waited until the other party had gone far, then immediately used Earth Escape to follow, tracking down the path.

Unfortunately, before he even reached the gates of the Beast Taming Sect, Cao Yan was no longer able to sense the other party’s presence.

"Swish!"

The Vice Sect Master emerged from the soil, frowning: "Nascent Soul Great Cultivator... Such profound cultivation is indeed remarkable and admirable!"

...

Night fell in an instant, with lights clustered together within the city.

On the most bustling segment of the street, inns abounded, and in one of them, Ning Daoran sat opposite Big Stupid Deer, their table filled with delicious dishes, as they began to dine out.

"Roar roar~~"

Big Stupid Deer, holding a cup of wine with its left hoof and delighting in a generous drink, and with its right hoof grasping a roasted leg of a spiritual bird, flung its head and swallowed a large bite. In a moment of joy, it called out, dining and drinking with its brother, and nothing made it happier than this.

Leaning against the railing, Ning Daoran sipped his wine occasionally.

Now with Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, he suddenly felt a sense of melancholy loneliness. How wonderful it would have been if Lin Man, or his eldest senior sister, or his young junior sister, was with him.

Alas, Lin Man was tirelessly venturing for the fate of Chi Shan, the whereabouts of his eldest senior sister were unknown, and his young junior sister had long since passed away.

Life indeed seems to be a process of constant acquisition in the early phase and constant loss in the mid to late stages; the saying was not wrong.

"Swish~~"

After a streak of white light, Little Bai appeared beside Ning Daoran, standing respectfully to the side. Her red lips moved silently, continuously transmitting the news she had gathered to Ning Daoran.

Additionally, Ning Daoran had sent out dozens of Class A Paperfolk to gather information about Dongming City and the nearby Cultivation World, forming a very complete intelligence network.

Among the intelligence received, what intrigued Ning Daoran the most was the Star Fallen Mountain Range.

It was said that tens of thousands of years ago, a meteor struck Hun State, creating a vast basin on its lands. Over tens of thousands of years, the basin evolved into a mountain range known as the Star Fallen Mountain Range. The meteor contained essence from outer heaven, which continued to nourish the land, resulting in the abundance of demon beasts and a gem known as Beast Origin Stone within the mountain range.

Beast Origin Stone, unique to Hun State, greatly benefited the breakthrough of Spiritual Beast’s cultivation and was considered a priceless treasure in Dongming City. Any appearance of a Beast Origin Stone would be swiftly acquired, then channeled through various means into the Cultivation World of the entirety of Sangyu Country.

Thus, over the years, the Star Fallen Mountain Range did not only possess powerful demon beast resources but also a considerable quantity of Beast Origin Stones, becoming a battleground between the Beast Taming Sect and Qiyun Tower.

Within the Star Fallen Mountain Range, the people from Beast Taming Sect and Qiyun Tower had fought countless battles, stalking prey and stealing treasures with no qualms, yet once returning to Dongming City, they maintained peace, strictly abiding by the local laws and regulations.

"Star Fallen Mountain Range... Beast Origin Stone... Five-Colored Deer Chanting Technique..."

Ning Daoran muttered lightly and said, "Little Bai, it seems we will need to stay in Dongming City for some time."

Little Bai curtsied and smiled, "I will follow the Young Master’s decision; it is also mine."

Ning Daoran raised his eyebrow slightly; indeed, Little Bai’s commitment was priceless. For most men, the most precious quality in a woman... might just be her obedience and understanding.
