Chapter 77: Transformation Complete

A small temple had wild winds, and a shallow pond had many turtles.

After this fright and sensing the chaos of the Southern Wastes, Chen Beiwu no longer had any interest in fishing for lawbreakers. He casually tossed aside the auction jade token, found a secluded and safe place, activated the Gate of Ten Directions, and returned to the Immortal Alliance.

He opened the Ten Thousand Spirits app, clicked on his Tiansource Fishing Fortune account, and looked at the soaring number of one hundred and fifty-five thousand followers. Chen Beiwu nodded in satisfaction.

Because the sliced footage of the Jade Swordfish he had caught last time continued to go viral online, his account traffic had been surging during this period, gaining about fifty thousand followers.

With his current account traffic, his livestreamed sales should attract at least twenty to thirty thousand real-time viewers.

Chen Beiwu clicked on the storefront, casually skimmed through some customer reviews, and found that the Yellow-Tailed Dendrobium had a positive rating of 99.7%, with only 0.3% negative reviews.

Sensing this, Chen Beiwu immediately clicked on several of the most liked negative reviews.

【“Is there something wrong with the seller? I clearly bought Yellow-Tailed Dendrobium, but inside there was Dragon Head Dendrobium. Disgusting. Straight-up one-star, no explanations.”】

【“The Yellow-Tailed Dendrobium quality is excellent, my dog loves it. But to prevent the seller from inflating prices in the future, here’s a one-star review, muah~.”】

【“Positive review, I give six stars. This extra brightest star is what you deserve, no need to thank me.”】

Looking at these reviews, Chen Beiwu was speechless.

At nine point nine a jin, being able to buy Dragon Head Dendrobium was already a steal, yet some customers still complained, and some even used negative reviews as jokes.

Fortunately, such customers were a minority. Most reviews praised the high quality of the Yellow-Tailed Dendrobium and urged him to restock as soon as possible.

‘Still have to play the hunger-marketing game, slowly clearing out the Dragon Head Dendrobium on hand.’

Chen Beiwu shook his head, not letting the voices of online customers cloud his judgment.

Twenty thousand jin of Yellow-Tailed Dendrobium was no small amount.

Buying in such bulk at once did allow him to push costs to rock bottom—he could even purchase at a wholesale price of 0.8 Spirit Yuan per jin—but that would place immense pressure on his funds.

Moreover, with his current account size, selling twenty thousand jin of Yellow-Tailed Dendrobium would take an extremely long time. It was very likely he would not be able to sell it all.

After all, Yellow-Tailed Dendrobium was not cost-effective, and relatively few customers were willing to buy it.

Even so, the profits earned from livestream sales were more than enough to support him through his Qi Refining cultivation.

Thinking this, Chen Beiwu took out his phone and bought a Fuxi Train ticket to Anyi County online.

With the foundation of their previous cooperation, this acquisition trip went smoothly.

Chen Beiwu spent just an afternoon purchasing five hundred jin of Yellow-Tailed Dendrobium from individual growers and returned home that same night.

“Whew.”

As soon as Chen Beiwu sat down on the sofa, Iron Egg trotted over with steaming hot tea balanced on his head.

“You’ve worked hard.” Chen Beiwu patted Iron Egg’s head, then turned his gaze toward the kitchen.

His mother, Huang Xiaoling, no longer had a luck aura mixed with green and scarlet above her head. Instead, it had turned into plain white.

This showed that after taking the Frost-Purifying Pill, the cold poison in his mother’s body had been cleansed, and she had successfully passed a major hurdle in her life.

However, the Frost-Purifying Pill could not make up for the lifespan lost nor restore her cultivation realm. Her foundation was now extremely poor. Not to mention breaking through to Foundation Establishment—she could not even maintain the Ninth Level of Qi Refining. Perhaps this was why white luck appeared.

“Whew!”

Exhaling a turbid breath, Chen Beiwu shook his head and did not dwell on it further.

His mother no longer had gray misfortune or scarlet baleful fate entangling her, only plain white luck. This meant she might live the rest of her life free from disaster and illness.

“Beiwu, do you have any plans to start a company?” his mother suddenly asked at the dinner table.

“Starting a company is too troublesome. I’m not interested for now.” Chen Beiwu shook his head.

He knew that establishing a company, formalizing his livestream sales, would allow him to expand his business and earn more Spirit Yuan.

But one must distinguish priorities. Each stage had its own tasks.

He earned Spirit Yuan for cultivation, and cultivation was the true goal.

If he exhausted time and effort to make more Spirit Stones now, even delaying his cultivation, that would be putting the cart before the horse.

“That’s true. But if you find it too overwhelming, your father and I can share some of the burden,” his mother said.

Chen Beiwu nodded, not rejecting her goodwill.

All he needed to do was secure supply and ensure the secrets of the Southern Wastes did not leak.

The rest—packing, shipping, customer service—could all be handled by his parents or temporary workers.

Hearing this, Huang Xiaoling’s expression relaxed.

The older one got, the more one feared idleness.

Since her son was doing well, she naturally did not mind finding something to do, helping him build his career.

…

That night.

Hidden Mist Market, cultivation residence.

As Gold Egg finished purifying turbidity into clarity, a surge of pure Clearwood Spiritual Power spread from his position in all directions.

Wherever the spiritual power passed, mist condensed, plants sprouted, and the residence took on a scene of spring’s vitality.

“Woof!”

The sudden change made Iron Egg stand upright, eyes fixed on Gold Egg.

“Buzz!”

The next moment, dazzling golden light burst from Gold Egg’s scales. This was a sign of a Companion Beast’s spiritual power transformation, refining its innate spell into a Companion Beast Seal.

“Glurp.”

Gold Egg opened his mouth, eyes showing visible panic.

The reason was simple—he felt the surrounding heaven-and-earth spiritual energy suddenly grow active, transforming in an esoteric way into drops of liquid spirit essence that poured into his body. With it came searing pain rising from within.

‘Calm your mind and spirit, follow me in circulating the All Laws Converge, Heaven Book of the Divine Tree.’

Chen Beiwu directed his spiritual sense and circulated his power. Through the Companion Contract, he began constructing a shared spiritual circulation system between himself and Gold Egg.

Under Chen Beiwu’s guidance, Gold Egg’s expression relaxed, the pain in his body dissipating, replaced by a warm comfort.

“Glurp!”

As time passed, Gold Egg began swishing his fins, rubbing his body against the stone walls of the residence, trying to ease the strange itching spreading across his scales.

This time, Chen Beiwu did not stop him, for this was a necessary process of Companion Transformation.

‘To wash away the beastly shell, to shed and be reborn—that is what it means to be a Companion!’

As this thought arose, Chen Beiwu formed the Companion Seal with his hands, a healthy flush showing on his face.

The Green Wood Spirit Seed and Clear Spring Spirit Seed within him both radiated dazzling light, as if nourished by Gold Egg’s three meridians.

“Whew!”

When Chen Beiwu’s cultivation improved greatly and he exhaled turbid breath, dawn had already arrived.

At this moment, Gold Egg had also completed his Companion Transformation. Spirituality shone in his eyes; he was no longer as dim-witted as before.

“Twenty years of cultivation. Not bad. Barely enough to step out of the category of lesser spirits.”

Sensing the twenty foundational Dao Marks hidden within Gold Egg’s law meridians, Chen Beiwu’s face revealed satisfaction.
