Chapter 552: Chapter 16 The Look of Genius_3
At this time, Wang Ba seemed to have finally figured something out, his eyebrows slightly relaxed, and he spoke slowly:
“The Black Energy Snake can be fed Pinus Spiritual Fat, serpent venom from rice feathers…”
Hearing Wang Ba’s narrative, Mo Qi at his side initially dismissed it. However, as he listened more, he was taken aback.
Because what Wang Ba proposed wasn’t a cultivation method for the Black Temple Snake, but for another Class II, top-grade Spirit Snake.
Although it isn’t as good as a Class III lower grade Black Temple Snake, being able to propose a top-grade cultivation method for a Class II Black Energy Snake upon their first meeting…
Mo Qi stared blankly at the cultivator beside him, looking quite ordinary. For the first time, he perceived the real gap between them.
“No wonder the mentor values him so much.”
“He’s too strong. His cultivation base is even lower than mine… is this what a true Beast Control genius looks like?”
Even though he knew a higher-grade Black Temple Snake’s cultivation method, at this moment, he didn’t feel happy at all.
Listening to Wang Ba’s words, Qi Yan’s cold face didn’t show much expression.
However, the hand that was stiffly holding the teacup before his mouth spoke volumes.
“…After that, a Class II top-grade Spirit Snake should be cultivated.”
After hearing these words, Mo Qi suddenly relaxed, feeling as if all the tension in his body had collapsed.
“Finally, it’s over.”
The feeling of being suppressed in the field he was best at was simply too painful.
Every breath was sheer torment.
Qi Yan finally brought the tea to his lips, but the slight wrinkles on the surface of the tea showed extreme inner turmoil.
Just then, Wang Ba spoke again:
“…At this point, we can purify the bloodline of the Class II top-grade Spirit Snake we’ve cultivated. After three rounds of purification and strengthening, we should be able to cultivate a Class III upper grade Spirit Snake. However, I don’t understand anything about Class III Spirit Beasts. I only have a rough idea of the first purification, using the Rising Dragon Secret Hair…”
Mo Qi was instantly dumbfounded on the spot.
For the first time, Qi Yan’s cold face displayed a shocked expression.
Wang Ba finished his thoughts in one breath.
After he finished, he noticed that the whole room was quiet.
Wang Ba suddenly felt nervous.
Had he said something wrong?
At this moment, Qi Yan unexpectedly spoke again, asking:
“If a Class III Phoenix-Tail Tiger wants to advance further, which spirit materials should be used as the main medication?”
Wang Ba was a bit surprised. This was reaching beyond the syllabus; it related to the Class III beasts.
He shook his head helplessly: “Wang Ba doesn’t know.”
Qi Yan, showing no sign of stopping or letting Mo Qi answer, continued to ask:
“When is the best time to make use of the Nine-Toed Tortoise’s shell which is great for divination?”
Hearing this, Wang Ba once again shook his head helplessly.
He hadn’t even heard of this Nine-Toed Tortoise.
Qi Yan asked seven or eight questions in a row, none of which Wang Ba was able to answer.
He encountered the same problem he had when he failed to clear Baiwen Tower – he severely lacked knowledge of Class II and above beasts.
Watching Wang Ba repeatedly fail to answer, Qi Yan’s face relaxed significantly.
Mo Qi on the side felt a bit embarrassed.
He vaguely perceived his master’s thoughts.
It seemed that Qi Yan had deliberately asked several Class III questions since he lost face when Wang Ba had answered all the previous questions correctly.
As Wang Ba, who did not have a Beast Control heritage, naturally could not answer the questions, it seemed to save some face for Qi Yan.
After all, if word got out that the number one Beast Control master in the Nascent Soul Realm couldn’t stump a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, who doesn’t even specialize in Beast Control, it would be too embarrassing.
Wang Ba didn’t realize this initially, but later he gradually became aware of it and started to cooperate.
“Alright, let’s stop here. Your basics are indeed not too good…”
Qi Yan said indifferently.
Wang Ba’s face showed embarrassment immediately.
“Martial Uncle is absolutely correct. This disciple also thought the same.”
Mo Qi on the side lowered his head in shame.
This was just too embarrassing.
Seeing Wang Ba, who was still unaware that he had been fooled, looking ashamed and sincere, Qi Yan also felt a rare twinge of embarrassment. He coughed and said:
“However, you shouldn’t belittle yourself. Compared to the average person, you do have some talent in Beast Control. Of course, not much.”
“I think I also understand where your problem lies… Mo Qi, go and fetch my set of ‘The Scroll of Beast Controlling’, both volumes.”
“‘The Scroll of Beast Controlling’?”
When Wang Ba heard this name, he first felt a sense of familiarity, then quickly remembered that this was the book related to Beast Control that Martial Uncle Tang Ji had given him.
However, Martial Uncle Tang Ji only gave him the first volume.
The content it covered was basically limited to Class I and Class II.
He quickly said, “Martial Uncle, previously Martial Uncle Tang Ji gave me the part of ‘Volume I’.”
“Junior Brother Tang?”
Hearing this name, a complex and indescribable look flashed in Qi Yan’s eyes.
He was genuinely annoyed with this junior brother.
However, discussing this now would be pointless.
Soon, Mo Qi fetched the two volumes as requested.
Qi Yan took out ‘Volume II’ from them and handed it to Wang Ba.
“This is a compilation by generations of Peak Masters from my Beast Control lineage. It doesn’t need to be said, but 99% of native spirit beasts in the Fenglin Continent are recorded in it. This ‘Volume II’ covers Class III beasts. After you go back, you need to study it thoroughly. When you can remember and comprehend everything, come back to me…”
