Chapter 224 - 37 Beast Control Discussion_2
Looking at the other party in surprise, he knew that he had encountered a connoisseur this time.
It should be known that after three promotions, the Wu Monkey King’s appearance has significantly differed from ordinary Mountain Moving Apes, not only in its fur but also its size, height…quite a few details have a distinct difference.
However, even so, the other party was able to accurately identify the Wu Monkey King’s original form and even accurately state the number of times the Wu Monkey King had been promoted, it shows the profound understanding of the other party in the Way of Beast Tamer.
Wang Ba was also a lot more polite: “Turns out that you’re a fellow practitioner in the Beast-controlling Dao. My apologies for the oversight, your keen observation is truly admirable!”
The other party repeatedly waved their hands upon hearing this: “Not at all, I merely have a slight knowledge, nothing more.”
Saying this, his gaze swept over the Azure Spirit Turtle on the stall and paused for a moment.
“Hmm? This Spirit Turtle.Jts shell reminds me somewhat of the Armored Giant-head Turtle, but the markings on its head are somewhat similar to the Yellow Throat Stone Turtle… A hybrid breed? But that’s not right either. If these two species were crossbred, the color shouldn’t be this shade of azure, the class doesn’t mix either. The Yellow Throat Stone Turtle is just a regular turtle and the Armored Giant-head Turtle is just a middle-grade Spirit Turtle, while this turtle, judging by its demeanor and temperament, seems like a Class II of lower grade…”
Hearing the mumblings of the other customer, Wang Ba was ultimately astonished!
Everything was correct!
He was absolutely correct!
The only thing the other party didn’t guess was that the Azure Spirit Turtle is not directly the result of the combination of the Yellow Throat Stone Turtle and the Armored Giant-head Turtle but the result of a mutated Yellow Throat Spirit Turtle – Fantong, and the Armored Giant-head Turtle.
But no one can think of such a mutation, so it’s normal for the other party not to guess it.
If Wang Ba himself were unaware of the situation, he would probably only be able to make judgments to a similar level as the other party.
However, the other party was clearly puzzled when he saw the Phoenix- feathered Chicken and the Black-feathered Chicken.
Because after much contemplation, he couldn’t think of any breed that would match these two chickens.
Unable to resist, he looked at Wang Ba and humbly asked: “May I ask what’s the origin of this Spirit Turtle and these two Spirit Chickens?”
Hearing the other party’s doubts, Wang Ba chose to remain silent.
The main reason was that he was not familiar with the other party, and these few Spirit Beasts were part of his secret weapons, why should he casually reveal them?
The other party’s actions were indeed inappropriate.
Seeing Wang Ba’s hesitation, the other party quickly realized his overstep, smacked his forehead and showed an apologetic look.
“I apologize for my rudeness. I was too eager to ask, I overstepped my boundary.”
After thinking for a bit, he introduced himself: “I am Tang Ji, a traveler across all places, calling the world my home. I have some knowledge about Beast Control. I have never seen any of the Spirit Beasts you have cultivated before. My curiosity is indeed piqued. I am willing to gift you a copy of “The Scroll of Beast Controlling” as a token of gratitude. I wonder if you would do me the favor.”
After he finished speaking, he handed over a book with a unique material.
Wang Ba intended to refuse, but his eyes caught something when he saw the name of the book and he became intrigued.
“The Scroll of Beast Controlling: Volume One”
“Is this one of the books in a complete series?”
Wang Ba was inwardly astounded.
The Beasts Room has so many books, but there isn’t a complete series at all.
Almost all of them are fragmented pieces, notes and understandings from various predecessors.
The most they have is a book compiled for cultivators who have just entered the Beast-controlling Dao, including just basic knowledge.
Beyond that, there aren’t many useful points to be found in a whole book.
Even though Wang Ba is good at summarizing and collating information, he still feels like trying to pan for gold in sewage.
Although useful, it’s just too difficult to find.
But this is normal as many cultivator’s skills are mostly passed down from master to apprentice.
Cultivators who accomplished their goals purely through book learning are few and far between.
Therefore, cultivators generally don’t value books much, but those who systematically organize the Way of Beast Tamer into texts within the sect are even rarer.
Even if they exist, they are usually single-copy transmissions, not something Wang Ba would have had a chance to come across.
For this reason, although he had intended to refuse, he instantly changed his mind.
He took it, casually flipped through it, and his eyes immediately lit up.
This is good stuff!
“Ahem, friend?”
Tang Ji at the stall couldn’t help but cough.
Only then did Wang Ba snap out of it and quickly nodded: “Alright, alright, I’ll tell you.”
Eager for “The Scroll of Beast Controlling”, he dropped his hesitation and explained each of the Spirit Beasts truthfully. Of course, he swiftly glossed over their specific abilities.
“So they’re mutated Spirit Beasts, no wonder!”
Tang Ji suddenly realized.
Looking at Wang Ba, his eyes held a hint of admiration: “Mutated Spirit Beasts are quite rare, but you’ve managed to cultivate so many of them, that’s really impressive!”
“Not at all, it’s just luck.”
Wang Ba shook his head.
Of course, luck is based on mass breeding.
Without a large base, it’s hard to realize mutations, which are extremely rare events.
Tang Ji did not disagree with Wang Ba’s statement, and suddenly asked:
“What should be done if the Spirit Beast is not personally raised by the owner and does not fit well?”
Wang Ba was slightly surprised, Is he trying to discuss Beast Control with me?
He immediately replied naturally: “That depends on what type of Spirit Beast it is, different species naturally require different methods. Of course, they all revolve around a few ways: setting up a Spirit Beast Collar, controlling their diet, establishing a sense of hierarchy, long-term companionship, and so on…”
