Jiang Yun returned to the Food Fragrance Pavilion in a less-than-optimistic mood. His braised meat business was gone. How he would earn spirit stones was a major problem. Although he earned one spirit stone a month at the Food Fragrance Pavilion, it was a drop in the bucket for his cultivation.
"Uncle Fu, I plan to practice hard in the next few days. I can't do the braised meat business anymore."
Uncle Fu at the counter looked at the remaining braised meat in Jiang Yun's hand and said,
"This isn't a long-term business. Practice hard. Once the competition is over, I'll see if I can ask the young lady to find you a cultivation technique."
"Okay, I understand."
Jiang Yun was secretly delighted; this was the sentence he had been waiting for. However, in order to play the role of the original owner, who was abandoned and unwilling to face the situation, he left with a heavy face, like a heartbroken man who had been abandoned but had to be saved by the other party.
"Great! This way, even if the beast taming technique is fake, I'll still have a way to get it in the future."
Jiang Yun calmed his excited heart and quickly took out the brand new book in his hand. There was no text on the cover, just yellow kraft paper, but when he opened the first page, the beginning was there.
"Heaven and earth are unkind, treating all things as straw dogs. Cultivators are unkind, controlling all things to help themselves."
"The skill of driving beasts is to communicate with the beasts, recognize their sounds, understand their intentions, and walk with the beasts. From small to large, from a few to many."
Jiang Yun carefully read the opening key points and began to think carefully about practicing. Soon, a night passed, and as expected, a new skill appeared on his panel.

【Year Point: 26】
"It really is the art of taming animals, but unfortunately it's incomplete." After reading it once, Jiang Yun found that this art of taming animals was only a part of it. It could only tame small animals, such as mice and weasels. It couldn't tame slightly larger animals like cats and dogs.
"It's not bad, at least it's a skill." Jiang Yun was also very happy. Should he try it out with a few mice?
Early the next morning, Jiang Yun found the shopkeeper Uncle Fu again.
"Rat? Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"There should be some in the restaurant. Wherever you find it, leave it to me."
Jiang Yun asked. In his impression, there should be rats in restaurants.
"Yes, Daoist Zhang said there were a lot of rats these days. You can go ask him."
"Uh, okay,"
Jiang Yun didn't really want to go to the kitchen to find Zhang Xindao. He was probably a mid-level cultivator with a higher level of cultivation than himself, but he didn't even look kindly at Jiang Yun. He was more like an elder than Uncle Fu, scolding him. But for the sake of the beast taming technique, Jiang Yun still went to the kitchen.
"It's over there. You can just help me deal with it." Zhang Xindao pointed to the back of the kitchen. Jiang Yun went to take a look and immediately found more than a dozen dead mice. None of them had any wounds on their bodies, as if they had been poisoned by rat poison.
"These are all dead, are there any alive ones?"
"There are no living ones. They have all been killed by poison. There are quite a few these days. It just so happens that we are out of rat poison in the pavilion. Go buy some."
Zhang Xindao went back to work without waiting for Jiang Yun to refuse. Jiang Yun had no choice but to come to Uncle Fu, get a few spirit stones, and go to the Ximen market.
"Rat poison, come and take a look. Guaranteed to kill rats in the morning." Jiang Yun found a stall selling rat poison in the market. Business was pretty good. The tone of the vendor's shouting was similar to Jiang Yun's in his previous life.
Jiang Yun, who had bought some rat poison, asked, "Do you have any live rats?"
Because this was the only thing related to rats, and in his impression, people selling rat poison often used live rats for demonstration.
"I don't have that. Are you going to buy it or not? If not, don't delay my business."
The business of selling rat poison was good, so he immediately started to greet the new monks.
"Brother Jiang, come and buy some rat poison."
Just when Jiang Yun was about to go look somewhere else, a cultivator nearby shouted.
"Brother Luo Ping, you're here to buy rat poison too."
"Who says it isn't? There's been a rat infestation in Ziyunfang lately, and my family's spiritual land has also been affected. I'm here to buy them all." Luo Ping said as he bought a whole bag. It seems that it's not just for himself, but also for the spiritual farmers who work with him.
Jiang Yun looked at the other party holding a large bag of rat poison and suddenly thought of something. He immediately said:
"Brother Luo Ping, do you have any live mice? I want to buy some."
Luo Ping looked at Jiang Yun strangely and said:
"Brother Jiang, don't tell me you also bought the Beast Taming Technique yesterday."
"Uh, this..."
Jiang Yun wanted to refute, but he did buy one himself, just not the one that performed the mouse show.
Luo Ping saw this and didn't know what to say, so he said:
"Forget it, maybe it will work. There are people buying mice these days. One Lingsha costs 10. Brother Jiang needs me to catch some for you. One Lingsha costs 12."
"Okay, I'll trouble you, brother. I need one spiritual stone. Just come here and deliver it to Shixiang Pavilion one day."
When Jiang Yun heard this, he immediately prepared to ask for more. Who knows how much is needed to practice animal taming?
