Chapter 7
"Didn't feel anything?"
"How could you not feel anything."
Lin Jing didn't believe it.
The vision appeared, and you say you didn't feel anything.
"Squeak..." The Pine Leaf Rat was righteous.
It really didn't feel anything.
Lin Jing was startled and suddenly realized.
"Maybe the awakened supernatural power is too powerful, and you can't master it with your current cultivation."
"You have to cultivate diligently."
Pine Leaf Rat:???
It opened its mouth slightly. Even though it knew its talent was good, it wasn't as optimistic as Lin Jing.
First layer of Qi Condensation success, Lin Jing was in a good mood now.
However, I don't know if it was because the Pine Leaf Rat's realm was too low, but he didn't feel the so-called beast-taming feedback for the time being.
"By the way." Lin Jing didn't dwell on this matter.
He suddenly remembered that according to the introduction in the "Sect Manual," after an Outer Sect disciple succeeds in Qi Condensation, there will be an opportunity to go to the Outer Sect Scripture Pavilion to pick a basic spell to learn.
He was very curious about what spells were in the Outer Sect Scripture Pavilion of the Beast-Taming Sect.
Since entering the Beast-Taming Sect, this was the first time Lin Jing walked out of the courtyard. Besides him, there was also the Pine Leaf Rat that he pulled out together.
The Pine Leaf Rat also needed to relax and relieve its complex mood at this moment.
Along the way, they met many Outer Sect disciples wearing green robes, but there was no communication between them.
According to the map on the back page of the Sect Manual, Lin Jing and the Pine Leaf Rat arrived at their destination before long.
In front of the pavilion, surrounded by lush ancient trees, the breeze blew, the leaves rustled, intertwined with the occasional long cry of immortal cranes from the clouds, making people feel refreshed, as if their hearts had been washed clean and ethereal.
In the nearby pavilion, three or five disciples were discussing cultivation, very peaceful.
"This is it..."
Just as Lin Jing was about to enter the pavilion, someone walked out first.
"Lin Jingwang!" A familiar weak voice came, and Lin Jing looked at this person in surprise.
He was in a white shirt, his figure slightly thin, and his eyes revealed deep fatigue and powerlessness... who else could it be but Senior Brother Brother Ouyang?
"Senior Brother Brother Ouyang? Why are you here." Lin Jing was surprised.
"I am performing a sect mission, sitting in the Outer Sect Scripture Pavilion, responsible for organizing spells and assisting Outer Sect junior brothers and sisters in picking spells." Brother Ouyang Hao smiled.
"What a coincidence. It seems you have already succeeded in Qi Condensation, faster than I imagined. Are you planning to pick a spell? Do you need me to help you analyze it?"
"Senior Brother Brother Ouyang, you are still so fond of analyzing. This mission is very suitable for you." Lin Jing said.
"No choice, my pockets are empty, and buying supplements every day is too expensive for spirit stones, so I can only do more missions." Brother Ouyang Hao shook his head awkwardly.
"I'll take you in."
As he spoke, he invited Lin Jing into the pavilion.
And as the two entered the Scripture Pavilion together, the surrounding Outer Sect disciples suddenly began to whisper.
"Who is this Outer Sect disciple? He seems to be very familiar with Senior Brother Brother Ouyang! What kind of friendship is this."
"Senior Brother Brother Ouyang is amiable to everyone, right?"
"Different. Senior Brother Brother Ouyang went out to greet that person. He is a leader among the Inner Sect, a genius said to be able to impact the True Transmission position! He wouldn't treat ordinary people like that. The two must have a deep relationship."
"Is this Senior Brother Brother Ouyang... very powerful?" A disciple who had just entered asked curiously.
"Of course, the pet beast Senior Brother Brother Ouyang contracted is a fox demon. This kind of demon beast will absorb human yang energy. Did you see his demeanor? You understand now, the fox demon must have been cultivated very fiercely by him..."
Inside the Scripture Pavilion.
First floor.
Brother Ouyang Hao introduced:
"The first floor here stores books that can be borrowed directly. Things like continental history, ancient kingdom history, and sect history can all be found inside. Let's go to the second floor to pick spells."
He pulled Lin Jing to go.
Very enthusiastic.
"First layer of Qi Condensation, you can pick a basic spell..."
"Actually, the Outer Sect Scripture Pavilion doesn't have any very good Beast-Taming methods. Under normal circumstances, Outer Sect disciples will choose to learn small spells that can also nourish the pet beast's bones, bloodline, and spirit power to assist the pet beast's growth."
"This kind is considered the most mainstream and the most suitable for Beast-Taming Sect disciples."
Arriving at the second floor, Senior Brother Brother Ouyang pointed to a row of jade slips on one of the most conspicuous bookshelves.
Things like "Spirit Nourishing Technique" and "Qi Nourishing Technique" were basically spells for disciples to use their own True Qi to nourish the pet beast's spirit and blood, and of course, some could also be used by themselves.
Lin Jing looked at another bookshelf.
The "Fireball Technique," "Object Controlling Technique," "Entanglement Technique," "Water Arrow Technique," "Quicksand Technique," etc., on it looked much more normal.
"Senior Brother Brother Ouyang, what about these?" Lin Jing asked.
Hearing this, following Lin Jing's gaze, Senior Brother Brother Ouyang smiled.
"It's not that they can't be chosen, but these can only be cultivated by the cultivator himself and are useless to pet beasts. Spirit beasts generally can't learn them either."
"Like your Pine Leaf Rat, it's very hard to learn the wood-attribute Entanglement Technique. Even if you learn it, it won't be of much help to it."
"Under most circumstances, they still have to rely on their own racial abilities."
"Precious spells that can be learned by spirit beasts are mostly collected in the Inner Sect."
Senior Brother Brother Ouyang looked at the Pine Leaf Rat, and the Pine Leaf Rat puffed out its cheeks in dissatisfaction.
"In short, this kind of 'normal spell' is only suitable for human cultivators to learn, but for our Beast-Taming Sect disciples, normal is precisely a huge trap."
"Most of our Beast-Taming Sect disciples are not suitable for cultivating mainstream techniques, so when they cultivate these spells, they often get half the result with twice the effort."
"And a person's energy is limited, so it's better to invest all limited energy into the cultivation of pet beasts, improve their strength, and then wait for the pet beast's feedback. This will often be more efficient than cultivating yourself."
"If the pet beast is a Fighting Ape or Horned Ox, you can choose auxiliary spells that nourish their physique. If it is a Pine Leaf Rat, you can choose auxiliary spells that nourish their spirit."
"Of course, if Lin Jingwang, you are really curious, it doesn't matter if you choose a 'normal attack or defense spell'."
Anyway, you live a long time, and the trial-and-error cost is low... Brother Ouyang Hao muttered in his heart.
"So that's how it is..." Lin Jing hadn't made a choice yet, and the Pine Leaf Rat waved its hands repeatedly: "Squeak!!!"
It suddenly remembered that with Lin Jing's cultivation speed, normal cultivation techniques were already slow as hell, and if he went to split his energy to learn attack spells... this was going to be fatal.
"By the way!" At this time, Senior Brother Brother Ouyang seemed to think of something, clapped his hands and said: "Lin Jingwang, when you choose a spell, pay attention to 'spell potential'."
"Spell potential?"
"Yes, that is, the spell you choose should be followed for a lifetime as much as possible. Like the Object Controlling Technique, although basic, even a Nascent Soul cultivator might still use it. In comparison, some basic spells are easily eliminated once the realm is high."
"Junior Brother, I don't know if you've heard of Spell Origin Spirit?"
Spell Origin Spirit? Lin Jing looked at the other party and shook his head.
Brother Ouyang Hao said: "A spell practiced to the extreme can give birth to an origin spirit and possess consciousness."
"Our Beast-Taming Sect is located in the Great Desolate Region of the Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom on the Tianyuan Continent. Although it is considered a first-class sect in the Great Desolate Region and has Nascent Soul cultivators sitting in it, in the entire Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom, it is only considered a third-class sect."
"And the first major sect of the Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom, the Spirit Dao Sect, is a sect that mainly cultivates Daoist spells. It is said that in that sect, there are many cultivators who have realized the true meaning of the Dao and reached the extreme of the technique, already able to make the cultivated spells give birth to true spirits."
"Spell Origin Spirit can communicate with the energy of heaven and earth, can attack automatically without borrowing the cultivator's magic power, and can even be passed on to future generations to assist them in cultivating corresponding spells and even protect the Dao for them."
"It can be said to be an 'alternative pet beast' born from spells." Senior Brother Brother Ouyang sighed: "Perhaps the Xuanwu True Spirit cultivated by the Spirit Dao Sect's Xuanwu True Person with the spell Xuanwu Shield is more powerful than ordinary Precious Beasts!"
"Perhaps you can also cultivate a Spell Origin Spirit in the future, becoming the first in our sect!" Senior Brother Brother Ouyang chuckled: "As long as you are dedicated enough! Just stare at one technique and practice it, realizing it for half a lifetime."
Lin Jing understood. Senior Brother Brother Ouyang was saying that since he lived a long time anyway, he should just grind it with time.
With a lifespan at least ten times that of normal cultivators, specifically staring at one spell to refine, it is indeed easier to thoroughly understand a spell.
"You can try." Senior Brother Brother Ouyang felt more and more reliable, saying: "If the cultivation efficiency is too slow, it's not too late to change it then."
"Is it really reliable? Can any spell give birth to an origin spirit?" Lin Jing doubted.
"Theoretically so." Senior Brother Brother Ouyang said seriously.
Lin Jing pointed to a spell.
"Contraception Technique."
"What about this?"
Brother Ouyang Hao took a look and was stunned.
"Contraception Technique" is a spell that Beast-Taming Sect disciples need to cultivate to prevent their pet beasts from messing around when they go out.
After all, pet beasts that are pregnant or have been pregnant will have their vitality greatly damaged, which is not conducive to cultivation.
"Can it give birth to a Contraception Origin Spirit if practiced to the extreme?"
"Ah..." Senior Brother Brother Ouyang said: "Big, probably?"
"Doesn't feel reliable." Lin Jing shook his head.
His gaze swept across the bookshelves one by one. Spell Origin Spirit...
"Let's cultivate the pet beast normally first!"
As he spoke, Lin Jing walked to one place and picked up a basic recovery spell called "Spirit Nourishing Technique." This spell uses True Qi to nourish the spirit and relieve fatigue.
The Pine Leaf Rat's racial talent can ripen spirit plants. This process will consume a lot of spirit power and make the spirit exhausted.
This technique can help it share some consumption and accelerate the growth of spirit plants. This concerns Lin Jing's farming plan. He wants to be self-sufficient in resources. After all, he is too resource-intensive!
Secondly, he plans to learn more cultivation knowledge in his spare time. He just saw many books related to alchemy on the first floor. This small spell to relieve mental fatigue is also useful for his own learning.
Well, in summary, this spell can not only assist the pet beast but is also suitable for his own use to accelerate the absorption of alchemy knowledge. To refine pills with blood, he must lay a good foundation. He can't even know the use of some materials.
"This... how did your brain suddenly become normal." Senior Brother Brother Ouyang Hao didn't understand. Based on his impression of this Lin Jingwang, he didn't look like someone who would choose a normal spell. He almost thought Lin Jing was going to choose the "Contraception Technique"!
