Beast Taming·Part 2 Beast Tamer

I was trembling with fear all the way, fearing that I would accidentally touch any restriction.

Although he had the pass token given by the senior sister, Shi Yan still did not dare to be careless. This was no joke. If he accidentally touched any restrictions, he would not know how he would die.

Shi Yan did not have any adventurous spirit. He was the kind of person who would rather live a peaceful and mediocre life and die in old age than to live a turbulent and sensational life, shocking the world and being admired by thousands of people.

After walking along the path in the fog for about half an hour, the fog finally thinned and the view became clear.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had been almost exhausted by the pressure from the spirit beasts along the way. He sat down directly on the dewy grass.

The spiritual energy in the inner valley of Huajian Valley is much richer than that in the outer valley. There are many kinds of spiritual flowers, and the grades are much higher than those in the outer valley. The morning dew and the fragrance of various spiritual flowers are mixed together, which makes people feel refreshed.

After resting for a while, Shi Yan started to perform some magic spells.

He used the limited spiritual power in his body, transformed his hands into finger flowers, and quickly made thirteen hand seals.

He suddenly opened his eyes and his temperament changed drastically.

His eyes are bright and sparkling, like the stars in the night sky, emitting brilliant light.

Spiritual flowers have different properties, and the spiritual energy they emit is different. The ability to discern fragrance is to discern the properties of each type of floating spiritual energy in the air.

In Shi Yan's eyes, the aura had different colors when he used the scent recognition. Yellow represented the metal attribute, green represented the wood attribute, blue represented the water attribute, red represented the fire attribute, and brown represented the earth attribute. There were also some special attributes and abnormal attributes that also had their own colors.

In Shi Yan's eyes, aura is colorful!

There were all sorts of colors in front of him, and it was hard to tell them apart. "Red sandalwood flowers are wood in nature, and the spiritual color they represent is green. Lock on!" Shi Yan closed his eyes slightly, then opened them again. Suddenly, all the colorful colors in front of him disappeared, leaving only wisps of green floating in the air.

In Shi Yan's eyes, there were only strands of green silk. In front of him, there were tens of thousands of green silks formed by the wood-attributed spiritual energy, of varying sizes. The green silks emitted a soft fluorescence, just like the Milky Way in the sky.

Red sandalwood flowers basically bloom together, and a red sandalwood tree can be covered with red sandalwood flowers, so the spiritual energy it exudes is also very concentrated. Removing some small tributaries, Shi Yan focused all his attention on the large area of ​​green.

This is much easier now, Shi Yan smiled slightly.

What Shi Yan said to Mingxiang was somewhat exaggerated.

He took out a small cage woven with golden bamboo. Shi Yan's expression suddenly became extremely respectful. He placed the cage on a rock and whispered, "Ancestor, I have to ask you for help again."

The golden wire cage opened automatically, and a small insect crawled out from it.

The insect is dark in color, with two horns on its head that are slightly upturned, and a hard shell on its back covered with tortoise-like patterns.

The little bug lay lazily on the stone, motionless, as if it was asleep.

Shi Yan flicked it twice with his fingers, but it still ignored him. Shi Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Grandfather, I beg you."

The little bug finally moved, but just turned around, facing Shi Yan's face, and continued to lie there silently. Lazy bug, lazy bug, this is the true portrayal of a lazy bug.

Shi Yan was determined to go all out, and gritted his teeth and said, "At worst, after this is done, I'll let you absorb my spiritual power once!"

Before he finished speaking, he seemed to see a flash of light on the old ancestor's dark body. The old ancestor quickly turned around, raised his head, and stared straight at Shi Yan with a pair of green bean-sized eyes, as if to confirm.

"I promise, after this is accomplished, I can use all the spiritual power in my body to feed you!" Shi Yan felt ashamed when he saw a small insect questioning his words. He didn't expect that even a small insect didn't believe in his credibility. He had no choice but to promise again.

"Ancestor" has been following Shi Yan for quite some time.

When he woke up in the family ancestral hall, he found a black bug lying on his face, just like it was lying there lazily now.

Afterwards, Shi Yan felt that the extremely cold air in his body was actually sucked by the little bug on his face. Originally, Shi Yan had been in despair and was waiting for death in the ancestral hall. Unexpectedly, this little bug saved his life. Shi Yan felt that it was the ancestor who appeared and saved his life, so he named the little bug Laozu. When he left the family, he took it with him and they were inseparable.

At that time, Shi Yan felt that this little bug was extremely extraordinary. It could absorb the extremely cold air without dying, and it actually enjoyed it. This was somewhat surprising.

The old ancestor nodded seriously, turned his round head, identified a direction, and quickly flew away.

Shi Yan followed closely behind the old ancestor, holding a broken golden sickle in his hand, and his eyes scanned the surroundings from time to time, with great vigilance.

The most powerful weapon in Shi Yan's hand is the Broken Gold Scythe. This Broken Gold Scythe was bought in Konghai when Shi Yan earned his first batch of spirit stones. He spent more than 30 first-grade spirit stones on it, which made him feel painful.

Although the Broken Gold Scythe, like the Mountain Splitting Hoe and Rain Pot, is a lowest-level farm implement, it is engraved with the Gold Breaking Formation Method and has a certain attack power. For Shi Yan, who does not have a flying sword, it can be used to remove weeds and also as a weapon, killing two birds with one stone.

The ancestor ran very fast, and Shi Yan was inexplicably surprised.

It looked like this time, we could get there much earlier than expected. The notebook recorded the spiritual flowers that Huajian Sect needed within a month, and the third-grade red sandalwood flowers that the eldest sister needed were the most difficult to find. I originally thought that even with my ability to identify them and the ancestor, it would take a lot of effort.

But seeing that the ancestor was running so happily, there were either a large number of red sandalwood flowers in the valley, or they were very close to him.

In the jungle, the ancestor walked as fast as the wind, like a dark shadow. If it weren't for the mental connection between Shi Yan and the ancestor, he would have lost him long ago.

Realizing that the ancestor's speed had increased again, Shi Yan hurriedly sped up again.

Suddenly, a rock wall appeared in front of him. The old ancestor did not slow down at all and drilled into a crack on the rock wall. Shi Yan, who caught up with him, saw the crack that was only two fingers wide and smiled bitterly. Shi Yan held the broken gold sickle and smashed forward without hesitation.

The golden sickle flashed with golden light and broke into the rock wall.

The ability of the broken gold sickle is limited, and it can only make a small hole a few steps in size. If there is a hoe to split the mountain, it will be better. Shi Yan smiled bitterly as he looked at the cracked broken gold sickle.

The pickaxe was engraved with earth-related magic formulas, which could easily remove rocks. However, using the gold-breaking sickle to split the mountain was really asking too much of it.

Without time to feel sad, he continued to raise the golden sickle and smash it against the rock wall.

Bang!

Gravel flew everywhere, and a hole large enough for Shi Yan to crawl into appeared in front of him.

Shi Yan was stunned. There was actually a cave here?

Without thinking too much, Shi Yan ducked down and went in. When he got into the cave, his eyes suddenly opened up. This was a natural cave. The old ancestor who was waiting not far away saw Shi Yan coming in, neighed, turned around and ran. Shi Yan quickly retracted his gaze and followed closely.

Continuously moving forward along the rock wall, Shi Yan felt that he was constantly moving out of the scope of Huajian Valley. Although Huajian Valley was very large, surrounded by fifty-three peaks, with what Shi Yan had cultivated, he could feel that he was slowly moving out of the scope of the Huajian Valley's earth veins.

After two years in Huajian Sect, he had already memorized the geomantic energy of the land veins here. The geomantic energy he had memorized was gradually becoming scarce, and it was the biggest guarantee for him to stay away from the Huajian Valley.

The darkness had no effect on the ancestor, but it made Shi Yan suffer. Although he could see the green silk floating on his body, he still had to stumble and fall. What annoyed Shi Yan the most was the stalagmites that would hit his head from time to time, and bending over was useless. A mortal body could not withstand such a collision, and Shi Yan's forehead was already in a mess.

Shi Yan secretly hated his own physique. If he hadn't been exposed to the extreme cold, he would probably have been a beastmaster with a spirit beast. With the help of a spirit beast, what did this little darkness mean?

Beastmasters are a type of cultivator who cultivates together with spirit beasts. They use their own life spirits as a medium to communicate with spirit beasts, and use them to subdue spirit beasts and cultivate together with them.

This method of taming beasts was considered a side path by orthodox cultivators and was not taken seriously. The mainstream cultivation sects included sword cultivation, alchemy cultivation, and Buddhist cultivation.

But in the three regions of Bianyun, the proportion of beast masters is quite large. The three regions of Bianyun refer to Zimu Liuhua Region, Mingjing Region and Beijiang Region. Especially in Zimu Liuhua Region, most of the sects in Zimu Liuhua Region are beast taming sects, like Huajian Sect.

The Huajian Sect has been in the Zimu Liuhua Region for nearly 800 years. Its founder was a beastmaster who owned a fire phoenix, Canglan, and was called the Liufeng Fairy. At that time, the fire phoenix of the Liufeng Fairy was extremely powerful. He surrounded the fifty-three peaks of the Huajian Valley with fire alone, and refined the Huajian Valley with fire, making it as strong as a spiritual weapon.

The fundamental reason why Shi Yan came to the Zimu Liuhua Region in the three Yun regions was that he wanted to become a beastmaster.

Because of his physical condition, he couldn't practice by himself, so when he saw the introduction of the beastmaster in the book, his thoughts became active. Since he couldn't practice by himself, why not let the spirit beast help him practice?

It’s a pity that after arriving at the Zimu Liuhua Domain, he found out that only cultivators who have reached the Foundation Establishment Stage can contract spirit beasts. This made Shi Yan disappointed.

After walking for about an hour, Shi Yan finally saw a flickering light at the end of the cave.

Speeding up, he rushed out of the cave. After his eyes got used to the sight, Shi Yan was stunned by the scene in front of him.

Large tracts of colorful spiritual flowers appeared before his eyes. They were of different colors and shapes. From a distance, it looked like a colorful carpet spread across the valley floor. Shi Yan's eyes were dazzled by the gorgeous colors. It was a world of spiritual flowers, and the air was filled with the fragrance of spiritual flowers.

Dozens of colorful swallowtail butterflies fluttered around, and bees with yellow bodies and black stripes flew back and forth in swarms.

Looking around, the straight cliffs reach into the sky, which seems to be another flower valley.

Not far away, there is a rosewood forest with rosewood flowers blooming on the trees. When the breeze blows, the small flowers on the trees sway in the wind, and some even flutter in the wind, scattering like a rain of flowers all over the sky.

The old ancestor lay on the root of a towering tree, squinting his eyes and inhaling, enjoying it very much.

This one is also a red sandalwood tree, and it is the largest red sandalwood tree nearby. It takes five people to hug the trunk, and the branches and leaves are lush and green.

Unlike the red sandalwood trees around it, which have branches full of small yellow flowers, you need to look carefully among its lush branches and leaves to see a few scattered red sandalwood flowers.

Shi Yan awkwardly threw the broken golden sickle, which only had a handle left, into the bag around his waist, clenched his hands, and struggled to climb up the giant red sandalwood tree.

He had a feeling that this red sandalwood tree must have red sandalwood flowers of the first grade or above. As for the third grade red sandalwood flowers, it depended on luck.

Because the tree was covered with lush branches and leaves, it was difficult for Shi Yan to climb. When he reached the top of the tree, he was already exhausted, panting and sweating profusely.

At this time, Shi Yan envied his fellow Taoists who practiced physical cultivation. It was probably such a small matter that they wouldn't even breathe a sigh of relief.

Standing on the top of the tree, one can clearly feel the direction of the spiritual energy. It can be seen that on this red sandalwood tree, a few sparse and scattered strands of spiritual energy converge towards the same place, and the place where they converge is at the center of the red sandalwood tree.

Shi Yan looked in the direction of the spiritual energy and saw a palm-sized lavender flower. This lavender flower was consuming the spiritual energy.

Shi Yan was overjoyed. Isn't this the third-grade red sandalwood flower?

The third-grade red sandalwood flower is close to the stage of wisdom transformation. It has a hint of consciousness and will consciously absorb a large amount of spiritual energy. This is why there are only a few red sandalwood flowers on this red sandalwood tree. When it absorbs enough spiritual energy, it will break through and evolve to the stage of wisdom transformation. At that time, it will be out of the category of spiritual flowers and belong to spiritual beasts.

Shi Yan secretly felt lucky that this third-grade red sandalwood flower had just formed not long ago and needed a lot of spiritual energy to evolve. If Shi Yan had encountered a red sandalwood flower in the wisdom stage today, then this mission would have failed, and he might even have suffered considerable damage.

Although a spirit beast's wisdom transformation stage is the same as a cultivator's meridian transformation stage, a spirit beast is often much more difficult to deal with than a cultivator of the same level.

Shi Yan happily put the third-grade red sandalwood flower into his pocket. He seemed to have seen Senior Sister Zixuan slowly walking towards him.
