When the two returned to the yard, they began to plot quietly again.
"Yaoyao, this formation talisman is too easy, right? Just follow the instructions and it'll be done? It doesn't seem very reliable."
"We think it's easy simply because we have a solid foundation in painting. For ordinary people, it must be difficult. After all, painting skills can't be acquired overnight."
"That's true. I think we've been painting on and off for seven or eight years." Ning Jing agreed.
After figuring out the situation of the talisman, the two of them slept well all night.
The next day, they were teleported to the training ground early, but they didn't expect that Elder Duan was already waiting for them.
At this moment, Elder Duan was standing in the middle of the field with a smile on his face.
Su Yao and the other person hurried forward and saluted: "Elder, I am late and have kept you waiting for a long time!"
"It's nothing. You are not late, it's me who came early." Elder Duan smiled very kindly.
So the two of them followed to the Beast Taming Peak. As soon as they landed, they saw that many disciples had a spirit beast beside them, and these spirit beasts were different.
Elder Duan introduced as he walked: "This is a Tianbao Eagle. Its claws are extremely sharp. Ordinary low-level magic weapons cannot withstand its attacks."
"This is a Wind-Controlling Spirit Crane. I'm sure you've seen it when you entered the sect. This crane controls the wind and flies at a speed comparable to a golden elixir. It's also extremely spiritual."
"These are white spirit bears. Don't be fooled by their docile appearance now. When they become aggressive, they can easily tear apart a few Jindan cultivators with their bare hands."
Along the way, Elder Duan introduced many spiritual beasts.
"In short, all things have spirits. Spirit beasts can be fierce or they can be good fighters who can help you in battle. Treat them well, and they will protect you with their lives."
Then Elder Duan led them to a stable. Inside, there were several horses, but they looked different from ordinary horses. Their bodies were shiny black, and their manes, hooves, and tails were all swirling with black and red flames, swaying in the breeze.
When one of the horses looked up at the sky and neighed, Su Yao and Ning Jing discovered that there was a pair of huge wings on the horse's back, which were two meters long when spread out. They were shocked at the moment. As for this winged horse, their memory was still stuck in the modern cartoon "My Little Pony".
Now that I see such a handsome Pegasus with my own eyes, my heart is instantly captured.
Elder Wan continued, "This is a Red Fire Horse. It's called Red Fire, but in fact, this fire won't burn a person. This horse can fly a thousand miles without getting tired."
"I'm going to teach you how to establish a contract with a spirit beast. Watch carefully."
"Slowly place your hand on it, gather spiritual energy in your palm, and let it flow slowly through the body of the spirit beast you are touching. Slowly use the spiritual energy to draw a contract array on its body. Once the array is completed, the contract is established."
"Once the contract is successfully concluded, the spirit beast will be able to sense your thoughts and obey your commands. Canceling the contract is also very simple. Simply use your spirit power to erase the drawn contract array. Each of you can choose one and try it out."
Su Yao and the other person walked forward slowly, recalling Elder Duan's method, and slowly put their hands on it. At first, the Red Fire Horse turned its head away defensively, and then, as if it realized that Su Yao and the other person had no ill intentions, it obediently put its head on the palm of its hand.
Then he followed the elder's instructions, slowly circulating his spiritual power and drawing a contract formation on the horse's back. When the formation was completed, a golden light flashed across the contract formation, and then it slowly disappeared under the horse's back.
The two of them looked back at Elder Duan with joy.
Elder Duan looked at them with a smile on his face. "Very good, it worked in one go. Now you can try to ride on the horses and let them carry you to fly. Don't worry, I will be watching from the side and will not let anything happen to you."
"Is it really possible, Elder?" Ning Jing asked excitedly.
"Of course you can." Elder Duan stepped forward and led the horses they had contracted out of the stable, then guided them on their mounts.
After the two of them were seated firmly, Elder Duan gave instructions: "Now try to send your thoughts to your horses. You can instruct them to slowly fly upwards."
Su Yao and Ning Jing followed Elder Duan's instructions and silently chanted "take off" in their hearts. The red fire horse spread its huge wings and flapped them. As the flapping frequency gradually became faster, both the people and the horses slowly left the ground.
Ning Jing was a courageous person. She secretly told the Red Fire Horse to fly higher, and it really flew higher and higher. Then she thought about flying forward, and the horse obeyed her command and moved forward. Gradually, Ning Jing seemed to get used to the feeling of being on horseback, and she became more and more courageous, directing the horse to circle in the air.
Seeing this, Su Yao was not willing to be outdone. She imitated Ning Jing and directed the horse to circle. In this way, the two of them rode the red fire horse and had a lot of fun in the air.
Elder Duan couldn't help but laugh at the innocent expressions of the two little girls. They were such lovely little girls that one couldn't help but love them. He didn't interrupt them until he saw they were almost dizzy.
"You two little girls, come down when you've had enough fun. Don't get dizzy."
Only then did the two realize that they had indeed played a little too much and had forgotten that Elder Duan was still watching from below. However, seeing that Elder Duan's face was still full of smiles and there was no dissatisfaction at all, the two finally felt relieved.
Commanding the Red Fire Horse to slowly descend, the two men immediately jumped off the horse and respectfully said to Elder Duan, "Sorry, Elder, we disciples have become too proud."
Elder Duan was reluctant to blame them and said with a cheerful smile, "Nothing serious. When I first contracted a spirit pet, I was even more extreme than you guys. I wanted to stick to it for three days."
Su Yao and the others were amused by the elder's words. They didn't expect the elder to speak so funny.
"Well, taming beasts isn't that simple. The reason it was so easy for you to make the contract this time is simply because the Red Fire Horse is gentle by nature. If it were any other ferocious beast, you would have suffered a lot."
"Some ferocious spirit beasts are naturally unruly and unwilling to submit to humans. At this time, you can only defeat them before they will be able to sign a contract with you. Some of the more intelligent ones may even pretend to surrender and fight back when you come forward to sign the contract." Elder Duan said seriously.
"If you contract other spirit beasts in the future, please be careful to identify them. Otherwise, it would not be surprising if they end up perishing."
"Yes, disciple understands." Su Yao and Ning Jing answered in unison.
"Yes. Today is your first time contracting a spirit beast. You can take it for a walk and get to know each other better. This will also make your relationship closer."
"This is the 'Record of Myriad Beasts of Mountains and Seas'. It records many spiritual beasts, many of which I have never seen before. Some are even legendary. You can read it and memorize it. It will be helpful for your future training."
Su Yao and Ning Jing were definitely happy to get another good thing. They thanked him repeatedly. Then they continued to climb onto the Red Fire Horse and practiced flying back and forth on the Beast Taming Peak.
The disciples on the Beast Taming Peak were no longer surprised by their actions. After all, apart from them, there had always been countless spirit beasts flying on the Beast Taming Peak.
