Chapter 3068: What does it mean that you succeeded?

Once the test is passed, not only are the Xiūliàn resources rewarded by the Heavenly Palace, but also magic treasures and elixirs, etc.

The main point is that during the operation, one can eat meals made by Ye Zhangqing.

This is the most attractive point for all beast tamers.

As for the people of the Dao One Immortal Sect, perhaps it's still okay to say; even if the pressure is great, at least there is still a chance.

But for the countless ordinary cultivators of the Immortal Realm, there is basically no chance to eat Ye Zhangqing's meals.

Being able to eat a pack of dry rations bought from the canteen is already not easy.

So, now that such an opportunity exists, who could possibly miss it? Everyone is giving it their all.

During the test, everyone brought out all their hidden skills.

But even so, more than half of the people were still eliminated.

After all, according to the Heavenly Palace's requirements, it's not enough just to be qualified in the beast taming technique.

Besides mastering the beast taming technique in Xiūliàn, one's own cultivation level must also be sufficient.

If one's cultivation level is too low, even if they are highly proficient in the beast taming technique, there is no chance at all; this is the gap in absolute strength.

Those who were eliminated were naturally disappointed, while those who succeeded had their eyes shining.

Passing the test means that from today onward, they can eat Ye Zhangqing's meals—how could they not be excited?

On the Dao One Immortal Sect's side, the Head of the Beast Taming Hall Qin Shou naturally brought people as well.

The number is not large, just over ten people, all selected carefully by Qin Shou.

Those ordinary disciples, even if they came, would be useless; it's almost impossible for them to pass the test.

Moreover, this time we are really going to the battlefield; we absolutely cannot allow impostors to fill the ranks, or else it would easily ruin everything.

Facing this situation, it's not enough to just go through the back door; even the Dao One Immortal Sect has no back door to take.

So, even the people selected by Qin Shou were eliminated two in a row right from the start.

In response, Qin Shou remained calm, saying nothing more and not even trying to plead.

If one's ability is not enough, then it's not acceptable.

Even Qin Shou himself has to go through the test; it won't be special just because you are the Hall Master of the Dao One Immortal Sect.

When it was Qin Shou's turn, he stepped forward and came before a Heavenly Palace expert.

Facing Qin Shou, that Heavenly Palace expert kindly nodded and said.

"Elder Qin, please."

"Good."

Upon hearing that, Qin Shou nodded in response and immediately executed the beast taming technique.

As for his mastery of the beast taming technique, there's no need to say—since joining the Dao Yi Sect from the Xia Jie, Qin Shou has followed the beast taming path, and can be said to have studied it his whole life.

After arriving in the Immortal Realm, with the help of the Sect, his cultivation level also increased considerably.

So, for Qin Shou, passing the test should be no problem.

However, he didn't dare to be overconfident, but instead fully activated the beast taming technique.

Only seeing a seal form, Qin Shou then let out a low shout.

"Go."

Like lightning, it directly entered the forehead of that Heavenly Palace expert.

In response, the people present showed no change at all; after all, this is the normal procedure, having been seen countless times before.

The beast taming seal entered that Heavenly Palace expert's body, and then we would see how long it could be controlled.

But this time, as Qin Shou's seal entered that Heavenly Palace expert's body, the person did not lose consciousness; on the contrary, he felt nothing at all.

He looked at Qin Shou with a doubtful expression.

"Elder Qin?"

This isn't right—even Qin Shou's disciples, when they unleash the beast taming technique, will have a momentary loss of consciousness.

But how could Qin Shou's beast taming technique strike his body with no reaction at all? He didn't feel any discomfort.

But facing the gazes, Qin Shou's expression was complex, and he weakly said a sentence.

"Um, well... I think I succeeded."

"Huh???"

"What do you mean 'you seem to have succeeded'?"

At first, he hadn't come to his senses; that Heavenly Palace expert stared blankly at Qin Shou, not understanding what he meant.

But not long after, that Heavenly Palace expert seemed to suddenly think of something, looking at Qin Shou with a shocked expression and roared.

"You wouldn't be saying that the beast taming technique succeeded, would you?"

"Yes, succeeded."

"Then what is the situation now?"

"Just as you imagined."

Qin Shou felt a bit embarrassed; he never expected this result.

He had just gone all out, thinking only about passing the test successfully, not considering anything else.

Who would have thought that this beast taming technique, upon entering that Heavenly Palace expert's body, would actually succeed?

The technique left a deep imprint in that Heavenly Palace expert's body and soul, already merged as one.

Simply put, that Heavenly Palace expert has now become Qin Shou's "Shòuchǒng".

Seeing Qin Shou nod, that Heavenly Palace expert's face turned pale, but still unwilling to give up, he personally checked himself.

Then his whole body staggered, almost falling to the ground.

"I... I actually became a Shòuchǒng?"

Being helped by others, this Heavenly Palace expert said while shedding two lines of clear tears.

"Damn it, I've lived most of my life, and in the end I've become someone else's Shòuchǒng?"

"He's a person, a proper Human Race cultivator, how could he become a Shòuchǒng?"

"Immediately, his eyes widened, almost as if he were about to spit fire, he glared fiercely at Qin Shou and roared."

"「Damn it, won't you restrain yourself a bit? How can you succeed? 」

In response, Qin Shou also had a complex expression.

"「I never thought it would succeed either; who could have imagined that this method would take effect as soon as it entered the body? I couldn't even react.

"「So what should we do now? 」

Upon hearing that, the Heavenly Palace expert gritted his teeth and asked.

Qin Shou then fell silent for a moment, and his expression grew even stranger.

"「It can be taken out.

"「Then why don't you hurry up and do it.

"「Just……

"「Just what?

"「It will just damage the soul; a slight mistake will cause a defect in the soul, turning one into an idiot.

"「You……

"「The Beast Control Method is originally used to control Shòuchǒng, so once the imprint is placed, it can be taken out, and it's harmless to the master, with no side effects.

But it's different for the Shòuchǒng, after all this Shòuchǒng thing……

For a moment, the Heavenly Palace expert only felt as if the heavens had collapsed, his teeth grinding audibly.

"「Idiot, damn it, how do we handle this? We can't end up being a fool for life, can we?

"「But if we don't do this method, then he'll eventually become Qin Shou's Shòuchǒng; no, it should be called a human pet, which is more appropriate.

Just at this moment, seeing the Heavenly Palace expert grit his teeth with a look of wanting to die, Qin Shou also felt self-reproach and spoke up to advise.

"「Actually, there aren't really any side effects; I normally don't activate this method, so it doesn't affect you much—you can just pretend it doesn't exist.

"「Huh???

"「What kind of talk is this? Such a big method is in my soul; how can I pretend it doesn't exist? Stop spouting nonsense, think quickly—is there any other way to get it out?
