Chapter 549: Chapter 15 Shou Peak_5
He had no choice. With so many spirit beasts coming and going in his hands, he just didn’t have enough emotions to spare for them.
His gaze swept across the spirit beasts around him.
Dozens of vivacious Class III spirit beasts, as well as several Class IV spirit beasts who looked as intelligent as humans…
He lingered a bit on those few fourth-order spirit beasts.
In all his years of cultivation, he had never seen a fourth-order spirit beast before.
So he found it quite interesting.
Mo Qi did not intend to stay. He led Wang Ba directly into what seemed to be a plain-looking house.
As they arrived at the house, Mo Qi respectfully announced:
“Master, Senior Brother Wang is here.”
Wang Ba quickly followed suit, saying:
“Wang Ba pays respects to Martial Uncle Qi.”
From inside the house came a slightly cold voice:
“Hmm, come in.”
Feeling the indifferent attitude from the other party, Wang Ba maintained his composure and entered the house neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Mo Qi was about to go in, but was stopped by that voice:
“Mo Qi, go brew some tea.”
Upon hearing this, a trace of disappointment flashed in Mo Qi’s eyes, but he quickly responded respectfully:
“Yes.”
Wang Ba walked into the house.
Surprisingly, the house was not as plain as it looked from the outside, but rather spacious and magnificent.
Jade walls, golden roof, pearl curtains, jadeite walls…
A middle-aged man with gray hair was sitting on a jade futon with his eyes slightly closed.
This was Qi Yan, hailed as the number one Nascent Soul Realm beast tamer in the sect.
Wang Ba quickly bowed again: “I pay my respects to Martial Uncle Qi.”
“Hmm.”
Qi Yan slowly opened his eyes, gave a cold nod and made no attempt to hide his thoughts:
“I wasn’t exactly in favor of Master Yao sending you here to learn.”
Wang Ba faltered slightly, but he didn’t say anything, instead listening quietly.
He had already heard about this attitude from Tang Ji, so he had been prepared for it.
Qi Yan said coldly:
“Without cultivating our Shou Peak’s ‘Beast Controlling Sutra’, even if you know some beast taming techniques, it’s ultimately hard to cultivate top-grade spirit beasts.”
“But since Master Yao personally requested it, I’ll give him the respect. The best plan now is to delve into the theory of Beast Control and tame beasts by understanding ‘the way’. There is no shortcut. The cost is that the cultivators of the Beast Control vein need multiple times the energy. In other words, when Mo Qi is able to cultivate top-grade Class III spirit beasts on his own, you might not be able to cultivate middle grade Class III spirit beasts. That’s the gap.”
“If you still wish to learn, I will certainly teach you and make a sincere attempt.”
“If you feel that you don’t want to waste time, then you may leave now.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Ba slightly tightened his expression.
The meaning of Qi Yan was simple: Wang Ba had not cultivated the Beast Control vein of cultivation method, so he could only learn techniques, but couldn’t learn the real means of the Beast Control vein.
If he wanted to cultivate spirit beasts, he would only rely on his understanding of the way of Beast Control. There were no shortcuts like those available to genuine beast-taming Dao cultivators.
Thus, it would take much more time and energy than it would for cultivators of the Beast Control vein.
But, to reiterate, Wang Ba was not overly concerned about the time spent.
Therefore, his choice was straightforward:
“In response to Martial Uncle Qi, Wang Ba is willing to learn!”
Qi Yan looked at Wang Ba and nodded imperceptibly.
…
Shaoyin Mountain.
Quest Hall.
A figure quietly appeared on the square.
He had long black hair, wore a large robe, and the bulging muscles could be vaguely seen underneath.
However, his appearance did not attract anyone’s attention on the square.
As if no one could see him at all.
He walked straight past the crowd to the area beneath the five water curtains.
Stopping in front of the fifth water curtain.
His eyes fell on a golden merit task within the water curtain.
He murmured softly.
“One hundred and fifty thousand merit points…”
At the same time.
Inside the Hushou Palace on Shaoyin Mountain.
The Master of Shao Yin Mountain, Qu Shentong, who was cultivating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.
His eyes, similar to the revolving wheel of fate, held a trace of complexity and admiration:
“He finally took up that task…”
