Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 2 Spiritual Beast
“Are you sure you want to choose a spirit beast now?
You have to know that a cultivator's first spirit beast is very important. When you graduate, if your spirit-controlling skills have reached the intermediate level, you may be able to choose a spirit beast with a second-level bloodline. Even if you work harder, you may be able to improve your beast-controlling skills to the advanced level and have a chance to get a spirit beast with a third-level bloodline.

You really want to choose these defective products. Now is not the graduation season, and no new spirit beasts have been delivered yet."

After seeing Yi Dong's confirmation, the middle-aged deacon of the Spirit Beast Academy looked at Yi Dong as if he was a mentally retarded person. However, seeing the firm attitude of the student in front of him, he did not say much. After all, he was only responsible for raising the spirit beasts, not the future of the students.

Follow the middle-aged deacon all the way.

Yi Dong was not unaware of the importance of spiritual beasts, especially the first one.

The spiritual beasts in this world are not brainless beasts that will be loyal to you just by following the Beast Servitude Technique.

To control a spirit beast, various spells are needed. Different spells and various medicines are used at different stages of the spirit beast's growth to make the spirit beast obedient. For the same kind of spirit beast, there may be a million ways to train and restrain it. After all, the growth of a spirit beast is like the growth of a human. When it grows up, it will undergo more than 18 changes. There are as many ways to train social animals as there are ways to train social animals. There are even more ways to train the same kind of spirit beast. This requires the support of advanced knowledge of beast taming.

Yi Dong is generally not a person who seeks to understand deeply what he studies, and he only has a superficial understanding of the various arts of cultivating immortals. Even if he is given a spiritual beast with the blood of a divine beast, he will not be able to control it, and there is a high probability that he will be stabbed in the back by the spiritual beast at any time.

Therefore, Yi Dong never thought of coming to the Spirit Beast Court to find a spirit beast with noble bloodline.

His path to becoming an immortal and his means of protecting himself do not rely on such crooked means as spirit beasts.

"The Azure War Eagle is the most outstanding among the first-class spiritual beasts."

A bald bird, about one meter tall, with one big wing and the other small, was running around mindlessly under the tree. It was always in the take-off stage, but it just couldn't fly.

Everything about this spiritual animal indicates that it is a deformed bird that cannot fly.

Yi Dong said nothing.

The middle-aged deacon was not in a hurry and continued to move forward.

There were leopards with long and short legs, giant snakes that had difficulty crawling, and even rabbit-like beasts that served as carnivores.

All these rubbish spirit beasts made Yi Dong deeply understand the darkness of Qingzhu Taoist Temple.

He knew that the spirit beasts sent to the Taoist academy during the graduation season had gone through layers of inspection and were carefully selected and assigned by the Education Bureau of the Immortal Country. Even if they did not have noble bloodlines, they should not have any deformities.

Apparently, the spirit beasts that had not been distributed during the graduation season were not handed in, but were "consumed" by the Taoist academy through transactions, leaving some deformed spirit beasts to deal with possible inspections from above.

Yi Dong looked at the middle-aged deacon.

"Don't waste time, take me to see the canine spirit beast."

The middle-aged deacon looked at Yi Dong in surprise.

"What are you thinking about? Gentle turtle spirit beasts, precious flying spirit beasts, loyal dog spirit beasts, etc., these are all in great demand among the graduates. There aren't many assigned to our Taoist Academy. Do you think there are any left?

Or you can choose the Azure Eagle, which is the only spiritual beast that can possibly fly into the sky. If you train it well and make it recover, you will make a fortune. "

Yi Dong thought for a moment and said:

"There must be a spiritual beast that is worry-free and has not mutated, right?"

The middle-aged deacon understood immediately.

The student in front of him obviously hasn't mastered the beast taming skills well enough. He may not have learned all the popular beast taming spells on the market, and cannot control a spirit beast with personality.

This kind of inferior students usually control spirit beasts not by precise spells, but by relying on emotions.

After a while, the middle-aged deacon brought Yi Dong to the cowshed.

"Blue ox, water buffalo, yellow ox, these spiritual animals are most suitable for your requirements. If you are not satisfied, you can go and have a look at donkeys."

Awesome.

Yidong originally wanted to find a patrol dog, but unfortunately there wasn't one.

Thinking of Ziyun Mountain, which I renamed Zijin Mountain, there are many spiritual fields around it. Raising a cow and plowing the fields is not considered a free meal.

The cows still in the cowshed are all calves.

Adult cattle are usually sold to people who grow spiritual fields. The art of taming animals includes methods and related spells to determine the bloodline of spiritual animals.

Although the spiritual beasts left here are all extremely rubbish.

But there are also different levels of garbage.

So, Yi Dong began to cast a spell.

As the spiritual power circuits circulate within the body.

After a while, Yi Dong's eyes began to emit blue light - the ability to see through things.

Because the magic was not very sophisticated, I could only see the skin, but no bones or blood.

After watching, Yi Dong started to cast another spell - Echo.

A green light bounced back and forth on Yi Dong's hand and a good-looking calf. After a while, Yi Dong felt that there was a contradiction in the partial theory he had learned, so he changed to another pulse-reading technique. Unfortunately, and due to his lack of proficiency in this technique, he failed to cast the spell, so he changed to another one.

One wave of operations.

Most of Yidong’s mana was consumed.

Finally, a lazy calf was selected from the green cows.

To be honest, Yi Dong felt unhappy when he saw the appearance of the calf. How could a cow be so lazy?

However, through the feedback from the spell, he made a judgment based on the contradictions of the beast taming theory he had learned and remembered so far, and came to the conclusion that this cow was slightly ahead, so he could only believe in what he had learned.

The middle-aged deacon at the side could no longer conceal his contempt in his eyes and couldn't help coughing.

Yi Dong glanced at the middle-aged deacon out of the corner of his eye.

I didn't care at all.

Not to mention choosing such a rubbish spiritual beast, even if you choose a divine beast, Yi Dong will not give any benefits.

Although Yi Dong does not have a golden finger, he has a single wood spiritual root, also known as a heavenly spiritual root. In the world of immortal cultivation, his aptitude is only slightly inferior to those spiritual bodies, which is enough to make him proud.

His spiritual aptitude was outstanding, which was the main reason why he was able to obtain the status of a student in the Taoist Academy. Otherwise, there were thousands or tens of thousands of cultivators of the same age in the Yi family, and he had two or three hundred brothers and sisters. How could one of the six precious "middle school student" places fall on him?

If it were during the chaotic period a hundred thousand years ago, a middle-aged deacon with mixed spiritual roots would only be fit to kneel before Yi Dong. Even wanting to receive benefits from him was simply wishful thinking.

If it were ten thousand years ago, the middle-aged deacon in front of him would have already died.

Unfortunately, times have changed.

Over the past hundred thousand years, corn has been improved millions of times, its bloodline has been optimized for countless generations, and natural spiritual roots are no longer rare.

In the rubbish Qingzhu Taoist Academy, almost all the students have natural spiritual roots, which is outrageous.

In the eyes of Yi Dong and other students of Qingzhu Taoist Academy, there is no difference between the second, third, fourth, and fifth mixed five-element spiritual roots and the wind, thunder, and ice spiritual roots other than the single spiritual roots, and they are collectively called garbage spiritual roots.

At one point, some people in the empire called on the imperial high-level officials to introduce laws to prohibit waste in the province of mixed spiritual roots. However, due to the disparity in the number of people on both sides, there was basically no chance of passing.

However, it is common among those in the Taoist temple for those with pure spiritual roots to look down on those with mixed spiritual roots. Well, it is also a tradition in the outside world for those with less mixed spiritual roots to look down on those with more mixed spiritual roots.

This is also the reason why Yi Dong never treated the middle-aged deacon well from beginning to end.

Yi Dong didn't think that he was judging people through the crack in the door. He just blamed Qingzhu Taoist Temple for being too dark and not having many fine traditions. Over the past year, a lot of traditional waste had been instilled in him.

Fortunately, I was able to leave.

After a while, Yi Dong walked out of the Spirit Beast Court leading a calf.
