Under One Person: Rebuilding the Glory of the Beast Master

Chapter 60 Being a Teacher

Feipeng, covered in fine downy feathers, followed behind the two. Old Master Duanmu said that Feipeng needed to be exposed to wind and sunlight for its feathers to grow quickly.

Fei Peng now looks like a large plush toy, having completely moved past the ugly stage, so Fei Peng is in a much better mood and is willing to show his face.

It follows its owner around, occasionally running into the nearby bushes and woods to chase mice and squirrels. It's not just for fun; if it catches them, it gets an extra treat.

It's pretty much the same whether it's white or black, but when it gets excited, the surrounding environment suffers a lot. A pine tree as thick as a bowl snaps in two with a flick of its head, carving out a path through the forest.

Zhang Zhiwei and Zeng Su did not walk very fast, maintaining a steady pace.

"Master Zhang, how did you cultivate?" Zeng Su asked, very curious about how Zhang Zhiwei had achieved his current formidable strength.

Zhang Zhiwei thought about the problem for a moment.

"There's nothing special about it. Just follow your master's instructions for morning, noon, and evening lessons, and then practice a little more, and you can improve your skills," Zhang Zhiwei said as he walked with his hands behind his head.

"Uh!" Zeng Su was speechless at this answer. But he couldn't really refute it, because Zhang Zhiwei was right.

However, people are different. For example, he only got 1 after an hour of cultivation, while Zhang Zhiwei got 10 or 100 after an hour of cultivation. How can you compare them?

The gap in talent between him and Zhang Zhiwei is so great that even he can't match them.

"What kind of place is Longhu Mountain?" Zeng Su asked again.

Zhang Zhiwei spoke frankly and openly, introducing all his fellow disciples and even recounting his master's cruel acts against him.

"By the way, we also have a Tiger Ancestor in our Longhu Mountain!" Zhang Zhiwei said, and then told the story of his encounter with the Tiger Ancestor.

Zeng Su listened and nodded. However, what concerned him more was that there was a tiger in Longhu Mountain that had gained the ability to evolve without limits. He had seen ordinary tigers many times, but he couldn't use unlimited evolution.

He had thought about catching a tiger as a tamed beast for a long time. The king of beasts was no joke; after evolving, its strength would definitely be extremely powerful, and its prestige would be off the charts.

"Hey!"

Seeing Zeng Su's appearance, Zhang Zhiwei quickly shouted.

"You mustn't make any moves on Master Hu. He's a disciple with a legitimate name and record at Longhu Mountain. If you capture him and use him as a beast, Longhu Mountain will fight you to the death."

"How could that be? That's your Tiger Grandmaster." Zeng Su quickly shook his head. He didn't want to offend Longhu Mountain for the sake of a beast.

However, if that tiger insists on becoming his tamed beast in the future, then Longhu Mountain won't be able to stop it!

And so the two of them continued walking along the mountain path.

After seeing off Zeng Su's family, they returned to the courtyard that had been specially separated for Bai Jiahei.

The yard housed about a hundred pigs of all sizes, and there was absolutely no stench. Every day, a dozen servants were responsible for cleaning the yard, all to ensure that Bai Jiahei (the pig's owner) had a good mood.

At this moment, there are two specially invited professional veterinarians at the gate of the courtyard. These two used to serve the pets of nobles in the palace. In terms of veterinary expertise alone, they are even better than Old Master Duanmu.

It was only 10 days later, and it would be very difficult to tell whether the pigs were pregnant or not, but it was a basic skill for the two veterinarians.

"Do you two gentlemen have any news?" Lu Xuan asked, having already seen more than half of the pig.

The two veterinarians kept shaking their heads, which made everyone around them realize that the chances were slim.

The last pig was a big, chubby, pink pig, and its fur wasn't the usual pig bristles, but rather like downy hair. This pig was a gift from the Wang family, and it was said to be a foreign breed. It originally belonged to a wealthy family, but the Wang family brought it over.

This pig was the closest to Baijiahei, because it was the only pig that had ever been inside the room where Baijiahei slept.

This pig not only didn't smell like a normal pig, but it was also very fragrant. It was also very docile, almost like a lady from a wealthy family. Led by a maid from the Lu family, it came to the side of the two veterinarians.

The veterinarian immediately got to work, and soon the two exchanged a glance and nodded.

"Master Lu, we have fulfilled our mission. We have the pig." One of the veterinarians stood up and bowed to Master Lu.

"Great, that's wonderful!" Old Master Lu clapped his hands, his joy and excitement overflowing.

I had given up hope, but then I won a big prize.

"Gentlemen, we're entrusting this pig to you now," Lu Xuan said, taking the hands of the two veterinarians. "As long as you can ensure the safety and well-being of both mother and child, the Lu family will certainly not treat you unfairly."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Lu, with us here, nothing will happen."

The two veterinarians were also very excited. Being able to get close to the Lu family meant they would live a life of luxury from now on.

The Lu family's courtyard became lively again.

Soon, the chubby pink foreign pig was carefully led by four maids into a specially prepared room. The room was fully furnished, with thick carpets on the floor, exquisite feeding troughs and water basins in the corners, and even the air was filled with calming sandalwood incense, which showed how much the Lu family valued this pig.

"Be gentle, be gentle!" Lu Xuan stood at the door personally giving instructions, her expression even more tense than when Lu Jin was born. "Close that window, don't let the wind blow in. The water in the feeding trough should be warm, not cold or hot."

When the news reached the front hall, Old Master Lu was having tea with some old friends. Upon hearing the news, he paused for a moment, then slowly put down his covered bowl, a meaningful smile appearing on his face.

"Okay," he said, his voice low but full of energy.

Although the Lu family is one of the four major families, it does not have any family-inherited skills. The Lu family adheres to the rules that have been passed down for hundreds of years. As long as there are talented children in the family, they will be sent to various sects to learn skills, and the skills will be kept secret.

Putting aside other things, the Lu family has a good talent for Qi cultivation, and each generation has produced many outstanding descendants.

However, for a family to grow and prosper, it needs some foundation. If they could preserve and raise the descendants of Bai and Hei, that would be a great help.

The Lu family really wanted to keep this a secret, but secrets don't stay hidden forever. Just one day later, the other three major families found out and quickly sent their elders over to discuss the distribution of profits.

The next day, afternoon.

Inside the Lu family's reception room.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries and polite formalities, the elder of the Wang family spoke first: "Lord Lu, that pig was sent by our Wang family. Naturally, our Wang family deserves the most credit for this bloodline, so I believe it should be cared for by our family. Of course, the Wang family won't monopolize the benefits; we'll discuss how to distribute it after the piglets are born!"

Today, Old Master Lu did not appear; instead, Lu Xuan, the new head of the family, was in charge of the matter.

Lu Xuan picked up the teacup beside her, took a sip, and then said, "Brother Wang's kindness is appreciated by the Lu family. However, since the pig is in the Lu family's possession, it is natural for the Lu family to take care of it. Brother Wang has come from afar and must be tired from his journey, so how can we trouble you further?"

"No need for that, no need for that," the Wang family elder waved his hands repeatedly. "It's all for the sake of the younger generation! It's our Wang family's duty to do this."

The elders of the Lü and Gao families standing to the side, though they didn't say a word, clearly showed their disdain.

The Wang family's behavior is disgusting. Given their reputation, if this pig falls into their hands, they probably won't even get a single hair.

Lu Xuan looked at the Wang family members and remained silent for a while.

"The Lu family has benefited, so naturally they won't forget everyone. They'll receive their fair share, and anything they shouldn't get..."

He picked up his teacup and blew on the foam on the surface of the water: "Nobody can take it."

The hall fell silent.

The head of the Wang family smiled awkwardly, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said nothing more.

At this moment, the head of the Gao family spoke up: "What Patriarch Lu said makes sense, and our Gao family has no objection."

The head of the Lü family nodded: "The Lü family is the same."

Seeing that the other two families had expressed their opinions, the head of the Wang family had no choice but to nod in agreement: "The Wang family has no objections either."

Lu Xuan nodded, put down her teacup, and stood up: "Alright, it's settled then. Since you've all come from afar, the Lu family has prepared a simple meal and some wine; please accept our humble offerings."

All the elders of the family stood up.

Lu Xuan lagged behind, beckoned to a clansman, and whispered, "Go, replace everyone around the courtyard with your own family members. Also, make sure those two veterinarians keep their mouths shut and don't say anything they shouldn't. And keep a close eye on their movements; no one else is allowed to contact them."

"clear!"

There are some things that need to be guarded against, especially the number of cubs, which cannot be revealed casually. Matters concerning interests cannot be taken lightly.

Zeng Su, who was sleeping on the ground in the mountains, was unaware of this matter. He would surely be very happy if he heard about it.

The carefree Baijiahei was playing with the ground using its fangs as a hoe, completely oblivious to the possibility of having offspring. In fact, even if it did, Baijiahei wouldn't care.

How could Brother Bai, who has always been unrestrained and free-spirited, be trapped by worldly emotions? He doesn't even care about his parents in Zengjia Village, so why would he care about anything else?

"Are you trying to farm, working day and night?" Zeng Su couldn't help but scold as he lay on his pillow counting stars.

Because Baijiahei has now cleared all the surrounding bushes, they have truly carved out a piece of land in this forest.

"Hmph!"

Bai Jiahei shook his head, indicating that he didn't have that idea, he just thought it was fun.

"Chirp chirp!" (Silly pig)

Fei Peng chimed in at just the right moment.

Upon hearing this, Bai Jiahei was furious. This stupid bird dared to insult him, so he lowered his head and nudged towards Feipeng's location.

For a moment, dirt and gravel flew everywhere, which startled Feipeng.

Feipeng quickly flapped its wings and took off running forward, wobbling as it went. If Baijiahei caught up with it, it would be used as a pillow for the whole night, which would be not only humiliating but also very uncomfortable.

In the midst of this chaos, Fei Peng actually took flight, though not very high and quite shaky, but at least he did take flight.

Then Feipeng flew to the cliff next to it. After it regained its footing, it immediately changed its expression. It no longer had the fear it had shown before. It opened its mouth and shouted at Bai Jiahei.

"Chirp chirp!" (You big idiot, come up here if you dare!)

This immediately reversed the roles of offense and defense, with the flying Fei Peng completely unafraid of Bai Jia Hei, who could only run on the ground.

"Chirp~"

"Chirp chirp chirp~"

Fei Peng cursed fiercely, but Bai Jia Hei could only rage helplessly, constantly nudging the rock wall below the cliff with his fangs.

Before long, they managed to dig a large hole at the bottom of the cliff, but it still didn't help at all.

"They're both in great spirits."

Zhang Zhiwei, who was meditating, opened his eyes and looked at Bai Jiahei and Fei Peng, who were playing around, and a knowing smile appeared on his face.

Animals are different from humans. Their happiness or unhappiness is evident in their actions. In comparison, the human heart is too unpredictable. No one knows what dark thoughts are hidden beneath the kind face of another.

During this period, Zhang Zhiwei traveled with Zeng Su. Although nothing particularly happened, Bai Jiahei and Fei Peng gave him a completely different feeling, which even improved his character.

Furthermore, Zhang Zhiwei had consulted Zeng Su, the beast tamer, about his methods, and he also had some ideas about raising a beast tamer himself.

Of course, Zeng Su wouldn't casually pass on the Beast Sensing Technique.

However, he indicated that it wouldn't be impossible if Zhang Zhiwei were willing to use the Golden Light Mantra as an exchange.

Even with Zhang Zhiwei's immense courage, he wouldn't dare to do such a thing. Although the Golden Light Mantra was merely a protective technique discovered by chance during the cultivation process of the elders of Longhu Mountain, it is now a symbolic method and a secret technique passed down through generations of Longhu Mountain.

If he were to pass on the Golden Light Mantra, he would truly be crippled by his master.

Of course, this was just a joke.

Zeng Su explained to Zhang Zhiwei the typical training methods for beast masters. A beast master needs to raise a beast from a young age to obtain a tamed beast that they can control perfectly, and they also need to consider the beast's talent, training, diet, and mood.

These conditions, once laid out, immediately extinguished any budding plans that Zhang Zhiwei had just begun to have.

"Wait, that's not right! If what you said is true, then why is your tamed beast like this?" Zhang Zhiwei asked after realizing what was happening.

Zeng Su explained this by saying, "People are different."

Other unique features can still be summarized as innate special abilities.

Zhang Zhiwei firmly believed this, even though he didn't possess any innate supernatural abilities. However, several of his fellow disciples at Longhu Mountain did have special talents, which could explain Zeng Su's situation.

Besides Zhang Zhiwei asking questions, Zeng Su was also busy, constantly seeking Zhang Zhiwei's insights on cultivation, especially regarding the application of thunder magic.

When it comes to thunder magic, Zhang Zhiwei feels speechless. Others' thunder magic requires arduous training to master, and even he spent a lot of energy and time to cultivate the Five Thunder Orthodox Method to such a level.

Zeng Su possessed Lei Wu without doing anything, and didn't even need to cultivate or master it, because his own Wu was his own.

In addition to this, Lei Qi has another function: it can enhance resistance to lightning and even absorb external lightning for its own use, as long as it does not exceed its own tolerance limit.

With Zhang Zhiwei's help, Zeng Su gradually gained a complete understanding of how to use Lei Wu. This is the benefit of having someone to teach you; you can avoid many detours.

Having Zhang Zhiwei as a teacher is something most people would envy, which is why Zeng Su was willing to travel with Zhang Zhiwei.

It took the two of them half a month to travel from the Lu family back to Sanyi Gate.

Finally, the two parted ways in front of the Sanyi Gate.

Zhang Zhiwei also declined Zeng Su's invitation to visit the Sanyi Sect, since his slap was not only directed at Lu Jin, but also at the disciples of the Sanyi Sect.

He understood this basic principle. If he went to the Sanyi Sect, he would definitely be besieged by its disciples, and might have to accept dozens or even hundreds of challenge letters a day.

"Then, Senior Brother Zhang, farewell."

"Junior Brother Zeng, we'll meet again in the martial world if fate allows. Farewell."

Without exchanging any words of farewell, the two bowed to each other and then turned to part ways.
