At this moment, the Nightmare Beast was lying lazily on the ground. It didn't even seem to be in the mood to be angry anymore. It couldn't even be bothered to raise its head. It seemed to be using some kind of unique method to heal its injuries.
"Hall master, I would like to give it a try!"
Walking forward, Wei Youdao clasped his fist.
"Go on!" Glancing at Grand Elder Wei Yuqing, Hall Master Xie Jiuchen nodded in agreement.
His old friend's grandson was born with an extremely high talent in beast taming. He was even more famous among the younger generation, and had the potential to be the number one.
If not for the sudden appearance of Zhang Xuan, he would surely be crowned as the number one beast tamer in the Xuanyuan Kingdom Beast Hall.
In any case, he had no other choice. Once the Nightmare Beast recovered, it would be impossible to trap it anymore. Since that was the case, he might as well let everyone give it a try. Perhaps, someone's method might work.
"Thank you, hall master!"
Taking a deep breath, Wei Youdao walked up to the Nightmare Beast.
Flicking his wrist, a jade bottle appeared in his hand.
Unplugging the cork, a rich aroma immediately wafted out, making everyone's spirits rise.
"It's the Seven-colored Honey of the Cloudmist Mountain!"
"Legend has it that this honey is brewed from seven different flowers collected by the Zongshi realm savage beast, Sky Snow Bee. It is incomparably sweet, and even spirit beasts are unable to resist its fragrance!"
"This honey is extremely valuable and rare. Even with spirit stones, it is impossible to purchase it. To think that he would have a bottle!"
"Incredible! To be able to take out such a treasure, the Nightmare Beast would probably be unable to resist its temptation!"
...
Smelling the fragrance in the jade bottle, the crowd burst into an uproar.
Seven-colored Honey was a mixture of seven different colors. A single whiff of it would cause one's pores to open up.
Savage beasts were known to be gluttonous, and it was indeed difficult for them to resist this honey.
"Seven-colored Honey is ranked fifth among the ten favorite items of savage beasts. To think that Wei Youdao would be able to find such a good item, not bad!"
Hall Master Feng's eyes lit up.
"Favorite item of savage beasts? There's such a ranking? "Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
He had read through almost all of the books in the Beast Hall, but he had never heard of such a ranking.
"There is!"
Hall Master Feng chuckled, "These rankings were created by a few beast tamers out of boredom. Due to the lack of acknowledgement from the Beast Hall, there aren't any books on it. Seven-colored Honey. Not only was it fragrant, more importantly, it was extremely nourishing to the meridians of savage beasts, allowing them to relax further! Most beast tamers would be able to tame a Zongshi realm savage beast with just a single droplet. The jade bottle in Wei Youdao's hand doesn't look big, but there are probably dozens of drops in it. To take out so much in one go, he sure is generous! "
"Nourish the meridians and increase relaxation?"
Hearing that the Seven-colored Honey actually had such an effect, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Similar to canals, the meridians of savage beasts and humans had a certain width. If one were to use zhenqi too quickly, it could cause the canals to collapse, causing one's zhenqi to leak out and inflict severe injuries.
Increasing the relaxation rate was equivalent to widening the width of the canal. To cultivators, this was extremely beneficial. Putting aside the savage beasts, even the cultivators in the surroundings couldn't help but yearn for it after learning of the effects of this object.
"What other items are listed in this ranking?"
Sighing, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but feel curious.
Knowing the ranking of the favorite items of savage beasts, he could prepare for taming higher tier savage beasts in the future.
"Due to the lack of official confirmation, everyone is just talking about it casually. The publicly recognized first item is Dragon Blood, second is spirit beast inner core, third is Ancient Vein Blood Essence, fourth is God Malice Flower, and fifth is this Seven-colored Honey!"
"I see!" Zhang Xuan remarked.
He had heard of the first four items.
The Dragon Tribe was incomparably powerful. Even the tiniest bit of Dragon Blood would make one stronger than other savage beasts.
Take the Nightmare Beast before him for example. Even though it only contained a negligible amount of Dragon Blood, it already possessed strength comparable to a Half-Transcension expert. No one was able to tame it.
Just the Dragon Bloodline itself was enough to drive countless savage beasts and spirit beasts crazy. Thus, it was understandable for it to be ranked first.
As for the third item, Ancient Vein Blood Essence, it was known from the Xuanluo Mountain Range that it had a similar effect. If used properly, it could allow a savage beast to undergo a Bloodline Evolution.
As for the spirit beast inner core, it was formed from the essence of the sun and the moon, harnessing the strength and cultivation of the spirit beast. If one could obtain it, even if it couldn't make a breakthrough to become a spirit beast, it would definitely raise one's cultivation significantly.
As for the God Malice Flower, it was said that it was capable of raising a savage beast's soul and spirit.
Given how powerful these four items were, the fact that the Seven-colored Honey was ranked fifth showed just how fearsome it was.
Zhang Xuan couldn't help but take a look.
As expected, upon smelling the fragrance, the Nightmare Beast in the cage began moving lazily. It abruptly raised its massive head, and its eyes glowed in excitement.
Clearly, this item had piqued its interest.
"I know that you can understand the human language, and you know our motive. As long as you swear on the Dragon Blood in your body that you will be loyal to the Beast Hall, this bottle of Seven-colored Honey will be yours!"
Holding the Seven-colored Honey in his hand, Wei Youdao stared at it intently.
With this item as his backing, he could ignore any beast taming techniques and negotiate the terms directly.
"Roar!"
Initially, the Nightmare Beast was still interested in the item, but upon hearing those words, it lay down lazily once more.
"I know that you have attempted a breakthrough to become a spirit beast, but you failed. The Seven-colored Honey is able to soothe your meridians and heal your injuries. If you consume it, you might be able to break through your bottleneck, so why not? Besides, pledging your loyalty to the Beast Hall doesn't mean pledging your loyalty to anyone. With this item as your backing, it will be of great help to you in your cultivation and growth... I hope that you can consider my words carefully! "
Wei Youdao continued.
However, even though his words were very tempting, the Nightmare Beast continued to ignore him.
In the eyes of a savage beast, no matter who it pledged its loyalty to, it would become the puppet of a human. How could it possibly enjoy the freedom of wandering the world?
"It seems like it won't work!"
Upon seeing this sight, the hope in the crowd's eyes dimmed once more.
They thought that they would be able to tempt the Nightmare Beast with the Seven-colored Honey, but it seemed like they had underestimated it.
"Even though the Seven-colored Honey is ranked fifth, and it possesses an irresistible allure to ordinary savage beasts, this Nightmare Beast is clearly on the verge of leaping out of the realm of savage beasts. Even if it is effective, it won't be too effective! On top of that, it possesses the Dragon Bloodline, making it incomparably prideful. How can it pledge its loyalty to a human just because of this little bit of Seven-colored Honey? "
Amidst the crowd, a 2-star pinnacle beast tamer remarked.
"Indeed. The Dragon Tribe is one of the strongest tribes on the continent, and they are also the most prideful. Even though this fellow's Dragon Bloodline is extremely thin, it won't lower its head to a human just because of something. Unless we can find the number one Dragon Bloodline!"
"Dragon Bloodline? You must be joking. How can such a thing be found so easily? Putting aside how rare the Dragon Tribe is, even if we can find one, it would be incredibly powerful. Even the weakest of them is at Half-Transcension, just like this one. How can ordinary beast tamers like us hunt one down so easily? "
Discussions broke out all around.
The Beast Taming Competition had gathered the hall masters and beast tamers of the surrounding dozens of branches. To be able to become the head of a power, their knowledge and experience were definitely not to be underestimated.
No matter how valuable the Seven-colored Honey was, it wasn't enough to make a savage beast with Dragon Bloodline submit to it.
"My apologies!"
After a long struggle, Wei Youdao realized that the Nightmare Beast wasn't moved at all. Only then did he back down in disappointment.
"Is there anyone else who wants to give it a try?"
Seemingly expecting the result, Hall Master Xie Jiuchen scanned the crowd once more.
Absolute silence.
Initially, when they heard the news, many of them were eager to give it a try. However, when they saw the 2-star pinnacle and 3-star primary beast tamers being defeated one after another, they lost the courage to continue.
"Allow me!"
Just as everyone was feeling gloomy, a faint voice rang out.
"It's Beast Tamer Zhang Xuan!"
"Given how easily he could challenge the Ten Beasts Cage, he must have a deep understanding of beast taming. Perhaps, he might really succeed!"
"I won't deny that his beast taming skills are exceptional, but his cultivation is simply too low!"
"That's true. Most beast tamers are already considered to be capable of taming a savage beast that is a cultivation realm higher than them. To be able to tame a savage beast that is two cultivation realms higher than them is already an outstanding feat... He is only a Zongshi realm pinnacle savage beast whereas this Half-Transcension savage beast is six cultivation realms higher than it. It is impossible for him to tame it!" (Half-Zhizun, Zhizun realm primary stage, intermediate stage, advanced stage, pinnacle, Half-Transcension)
"Indeed. If he had reached Zhizun realm pinnacle, there might be some hope. But now... I don't think so!"
Upon seeing the identity of the person who spoke, a commotion broke out.
Zhang Xuan had shocked the entire Beast Hall by challenging the Ten Beasts Cage, so almost everyone recognized him.
Upon seeing his appearance, some of them harbored hopes while others shook their heads.
Beast taming wasn't just a matter of skill, talent was more important.
If the other party looked down on you from the bottom of its heart, how could it possibly submit to you obediently?
"I heard that after challenging the Ten Beasts Cage yesterday, he came here to give it a try. However, he failed!"
"Then why is he still here? Could it be that he found a new method?"
"I don't know, let's wait and see..."
There were some who knew that Zhang Xuan had attempted to tame the Nightmare Beast. Even though they didn't know what happened, seeing how no one was able to tame the Nightmare Beast, it was clear that he had failed.
"You... succeeded in learning the language?"
Upon seeing the other party, Hall Master Xie Jiuchen's eyes lit up.
That fellow went to the book collection vault to learn the ancient beast language. Could it be that he had learned something?
"Succeeded? I'm still far from it... "
Zhang Xuan shook his head.
It wasn't that the ancient beast language was difficult to learn, but that the tier of the Beast Hall was too low. There weren't enough books here.
"Then..."
Hearing the other party admit that he was still far from it, Hall Master Xie Jiuchen was perplexed.
"I've only learned a few words, so I would like to give it a try. If I fail, I'll have to use the previous method!"
Zhang Xuan.
"The previous method?"
Hearing those words, Hall Master Xie Jiuchen was speechless.
He thought that the other party had given up on the idea after seeing so many people taming the Nightmare Beast. To think that he would still remember it so clearly.
