You're just a single demon beast? I have a whole army of beast tamers!

Qin Shou suddenly realized!

He quickly asked:

"Senior, why is this cultivation technique...without a rank?"

The old man glanced at him and explained in a calm tone:

"It has no rank because the cultivation conditions for this technique are very demanding."

The requirements for resources and monsters are too high.

Furthermore, no one has ever cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage or higher using this technique, making it impossible to measure by conventional standards.

It was once circulated within the sect, but most who tried it gave up halfway or switched to another cultivation due to insufficient resources or the inability to find a suitable natal beast.

Over time, it was relegated to the sidelines.

He paused, looking at Qin Shou: "You possess three spiritual roots and have contracted with multiple demonic beasts of different attributes..."

The aura was mixed but not chaotic.

It seems that they are born to follow this unconventional path of multi-attribute beast taming.

Whether or not to choose is entirely up to you.

The old man's words were very clear: this technique is very powerful, but the pitfalls are also extremely deep; it is both an opportunity and a challenge.

Qin Shou said without hesitation:

"This disciple wishes to choose this scripture!"

His thinking was exceptionally clear.

With the Treasure Gourd space at his disposal, he has no shortage of time and resources for cultivating low-level demonic beasts.

You could use a vast amount of low-level resources, such as spirit herbs and low-level monster meat.

Rapidly cultivate a large number of first- and second-tier monsters.

Then use these demonic beasts to feed the three core natal beasts!

All we need to do is find the key resources for these three natal beasts to break through to a higher realm!

This is equivalent to using quantity to accumulate quality.

This perfectly leverages its advantages of 100x space acceleration and large-scale breeding!

Seeing Qin Shou's decisiveness, a hint of appreciation seemed to flash across the old man's usually placid face, but he said nothing more, only nodding.

"Can."

Qin Shou carefully put away the jade slip containing the rubbing of the "Three Primal Spirit Control True Scripture".

Then, thinking again about the choice between secret arts and spells, I humbly asked for advice once more:

"Senior, regarding the selection of secret arts and spells,"

This disciple is also at a loss. I wonder if the senior could offer some further guidance?

This time, the old man did not answer directly, but instead asked a question in return:

"Since you have chosen this scripture, the path ahead is now clear."

The secret technique should complement your chosen natal beast to maximize its strengths.

"Spells..."

He shook his head. "Beast tamers, especially those who practice this scripture, have limited energy."

Beast taming is the strongest way to attack and defend, so why bother with complicated spells?

"Don't bite off more than you can chew."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou was struck by a sudden realization, as if enlightened.

Yes!

The "Three Elements Spirit Control True Scripture" inherently requires the simultaneous cultivation of three natal beasts.

They also need to cultivate their own three elemental spiritual powers.

The energy expenditure is more than three times that of an average person.

If you spend a lot of time learning complicated attack and defense spells,

It's definitely not worth the risk.

The essence of a beast tamer lies in spirit beasts!

The right way is to focus resources and energy on cultivating spirit beasts and working in tandem with them!

"Thank you so much for your guidance, senior!"

He bowed deeply, this time with genuine gratitude.

"May I ask what your honorific title is, senior? If I have any questions in the future..."

"Names are nothing but illusions; there's no need to dwell on them."

The old man interrupted him, closed his eyes again, and said in a faint voice, "The path is beneath your feet; whether you can continue walking it is up to you."

Knowing that the old man was unwilling to say more, Qin Shou bowed again and respectfully retreated into the Transmission Hall.

This time, he had a clear goal.

Head directly to the area where secret techniques related to illusion, spirit, and perception are stored.

His gaze was quickly drawn to a high-grade Xuan-level secret technique called "Spiritual Connection Technique".

This technique is neither a direct attack nor a defense.

Rather, it aims to strengthen the spiritual connection with specific spirit beasts.

After reaching a certain level,

It can share some of the innate perception with spirit beasts.

It can even temporarily borrow some of the spirit beast's innate abilities to assist or interfere!

"Shared innate divine abilities... My Illusionary Water Phoenix's core abilities in the future will be illusion and water control!"

If one could share some of its illusion perception or even its ability to cast illusions…”

Qin Shou's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he chose this secret technique without hesitation.

As for magic, he heeded the old man's advice and did not choose any.

Greed leads to a lack of expertise; the art of taming beasts lies in focusing on one thing at a time.

Carrying two jade slips, the "Three Primal Spirit Control Scripture" and the "Spiritual Insight Technique,"

After completing the exchange procedures, Qin Shou left the Transmission Pavilion.

As we passed by the door, the old man in the gray robe remained as still as a statue, as if he had never moved.

Until Qin Shou's figure disappeared into the clouds, the old man's eyes, beneath his tightly closed eyelids, seemed to shift slightly.

A meaningful smile curved at the corner of his lips.

"Kid, the Three Elements Spirit Control Scripture... is not just a test of resources and monsters."

Three attributes in balance, three elements rotating, initial stage of fusion...

Every step is fraught with inner demons and constraints.

Throughout history, countless brilliant and talented individuals have failed in their search for three compatible natal beasts.

And how many more have fallen victim to the imbalance caused by the conflict of the three elemental energies...

Not to mention the even higher realms that require great opportunity and perseverance to reach.

"However... that aura about you that can encompass all beasts..."

Perhaps, you really have a sliver of hope to make this path, which many consider a dead end.

"I'll wait and see."

Upon returning to Cave No. 7 of the Bing-character section on Lingcan Peak, Qin Shou immediately activated the restrictions and eagerly began studying the "Three Elements Spirit Control True Scripture".

Its techniques are profound and mysterious, far surpassing the "Azure Wave Beast Taming Technique".

It not only elaborates on how to simultaneously guide three types of spiritual energy into the body,

Open up the three-colored spiritual energy zones in the dantian and maintain a delicate balance.

It further elaborates on how to achieve this through a destiny contract.

Establish a deeper spiritual resonance with the three corresponding elemental beasts.

This allows for a temporary conversion of spiritual energy attributes and a preliminary fusion.

The more Qin Shou looked, the more alarmed and excited he became.

This technique has immense potential, but its difficulty is indeed as frighteningly high as the old man said.

Putting everything else aside, just finding three creatures with the attributes of metal, water, and wood...

Furthermore, its bloodline potential is sufficient to support a high-level natal beast.

That alone is enough to stump 99% of cultivators.

My spiritual roots are metal, water, and wood.

For a water-attribute natal beast, the Xuanbing Spirit Fox is undoubtedly an excellent choice. It is already at the second tier, with the potential to reach the fourth tier.

Wood attribute... Among the monsters I currently contract, none have a particularly outstanding wood attribute.

Metallic properties... are completely absent.

Qin Shou took stock of his collection of spirit beasts, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Moreover, according to the hints in this technique and the old man's unfinished words,

To cultivate this scripture to a high level,

The bloodline potential of these three natal beasts

"They probably can't be too low-ranking; ideally, they should all be rare and exceptional species capable of growing to the fifth rank or even higher!"

Among the demonic beasts he currently possesses, the Xuanbing Spirit Fox has the highest potential.

It's only a fourth-order bloodline.

The silver-ringed water python and other pythons all have the bloodline of a dragon, and one of them has the potential to advance four times, which means it can reach the fifth rank.

The Illusionary Water Phoenix also possesses fourth-tier potential.

The Gray Feathered Roc has two potential advancements, and its upper limit is likely around the third tier.
