The next morning, the heavy rain had stopped.
A strange scene appeared on the ancient path in the clouds. A handsome young man was riding a skinny horse, and beside him was a beautiful girl riding another skinny horse. However, the horse that the girl was riding was actually moving backwards!
"So fun …"
Qin Yin giggled. She held a book in her hand, which was the art of psychic communication. She pressed her snow-white palm on the head of the skinny horse and said with a smile, "Big Brother Yu, guess what the horse is thinking about?"
"It must be thinking about whether it can eat fresh grass or hay for lunch." Lin Muyu replied with a smile.
"Ah?"
Qin Yin's mouth opened wide. "You … How did you know?"
"Hmph, is there even a need to think about it? I can guess it."
Lin Muyu led the way in front and said, "Xiao Yin, stop torturing this skinny horse … Let it walk normally. At this speed, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach the next inn by night."
"Mm, alright …"
Qin Yin patted the horse's back and said with a smile, "Horse, horse, you can walk normally now."
The skinny horse neighed as if it had been pardoned. It turned around and no longer wanted to be "tortured" by the princess. It shook its head and tail as if it was very proud. After psychic communication, the warhorse naturally knew that the girl on its back was someone above tens of thousands of people. It couldn't help but feel that it was no longer a normal horse, but a "divine horse" of the princess.
"Xiao Yin, is this art of psychic communication really that magical?" Lin Muyu asked.
Qin Yin nodded. "Mm, you can use the power of soul to communicate with spiritual beasts. However, the prerequisite is that the spiritual beast must be weaker than you. Otherwise, the spiritual beast will not communicate with humans at all. After communicating, you can use the absolute power of soul to conquer the spiritual beast. Naturally, you can tame the umbrella dragon like Du Yiming did. However, Du Yiming is …"
Qin Yin blushed and said, "That kind of rapist is not worth mentioning. Furthermore, Du Yiming's cultivation is low. This art of psychic communication has a total of eight scrolls, and Du Yiming has only barely cultivated to the second level. He is still far from the highest level of psychic communication!"
"Is that so …"
Lin Muyu stretched out her hand and said with a smile, "Come, Xiao Yin, let me learn as well."
Qin Yin giggled. "Yu also wants to tame spirit beasts?"
"Yes."
Lin Muyu nodded. "How cool and arrogant it is to have a powerful pet. What do you think, Xiao Yin?"
"Yeah …"
Qin Yin pursed her red lips and said, "It's a pity that there aren't any powerful spiritual beasts on this official road. Otherwise, we could tame a spiritual beast and test out the power of the Spirit Communication Technique."
"There's nothing wrong with that."
Lin Muyu took the Spiritual Communication Technique and stuffed it into her bosom. She then unfurled the map and said, "The Ancient Path in the Clouds runs through the Dragon Seeking Forest. As long as we leave the area protected by the Ancient Path in the Clouds, we'll be able to enter the Dragon Seeking Forest. By then, we'll be able to tame any spiritual beast we want. Of course, the prerequisite is that we don't go too deep. Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't even be able to keep our lives."
"Is that really possible?"
Qin Yin's beautiful eyes were wide open and filled with hope.
"Yes, we'll replenish our rations and water at the inn ahead at noon. After that, we can set off for the Dragon Seeking Forest. We won't take too long of a detour, so it won't affect our journey."
"Yes, okay!"
… …
At noon, she replenished half a month's worth of dry rations at the inn in front. It was mostly bread and some water. She also bought an iron pot, a ladle, a simple tent, and so on. She threw them all into her Cosmos Sack. The iron pot and the white diamond crystals mixed together seemed out of place, but Lin Muyu didn't care about it. She didn't care about trifles if she wanted to achieve great things!
In the afternoon, they took a detour into the Dragon Seeking Forest. Qin Yin waved her Purple Blade and opened the way in front while Lin Muyu walked behind her. She held the Spiritual Communication Technique book in her hands and carefully studied it.
The first volume of the Spiritual Communication Technique, Beast Language, mainly focused on how to understand the general meaning of the beast language so that it would be easier to communicate with wild beasts.
In the Shattered Cauldron Realm, the spirit beasts were all spiritual beings born from the spirit of the earth. They were ever-changing, but they were still the same. The first volume emphasized on the urgency, slowness, length, and shortness of the beast language to analyze the meaning of the beast language. This was considered the first step in communicating with wild beasts.
This was simple. Lin Muyu spent less than an hour to memorize it.
The second volume, Spiritual Communication Technique. This was the most crucial chapter. It allowed one's spiritual perception to invade the spirit of wild beasts and fuse with the spirit beast's soul.
With Qin Yin's cultivation, she had already mastered the Spiritual Communication Technique in the morning.
On the other hand, Lin Muyu was even faster. Because his Spirit Meridian Art had already tempered his spirit to the point that it far surpassed other cultivators of the same cultivation level, his spirit was much stronger than Qin Yin's. Therefore, he understood it with just one try. In less than ten minutes, he could already communicate with his warhorse. The moment he communicated with it, his mind was filled with the smell of some green bristlegrass, clear root grass, horsetail grass, and other plants. That was all the warhorse's mind could think about all day long.
It was still early. He looked at the horizon, then looked at Qin Yin, who was innately brandishing her sharp sword and activating her martial soul to cut down the thorns. He couldn't help but smile. It was time for the princess, Qin Yin, to gain some experience. Surviving in the wilderness was originally a way to hone one's willpower. As the princess of the empire, Qin Yin had a lot to bear in the future. The more she gained experience here, the more she could become a wise emperor.
Continuing to practice, the third volume, the Subjugation Technique.
The main content of this volume was to use one's own spirit to forcefully subjugate a Beast Spirit, making the Spirit Beast submit to one's will. This feeling was similar to forceful taming. That Du Yiming did not seem to be able to achieve this step, probably because the strength of his spirit was not strong enough?
Flipping through it further, there were still five more volumes, in order: Nurturing, Assimilation, Armour Transformation, Sky Piercing and Spirit Transformation. The more he listened, the more he felt it was amazing. But he could only take it one step at a time. He had to complete the Subjugation Technique first.
After studying it carefully for a while and memorizing all the words of the Spiritual Communication Technique, Lin Muyu returned the book to Qin Yin. He then sat upon his warhorse and slowly circulated his dou qi, raising the strength of his spirit. Following the Subjugation Technique's mantra, he practiced it repeatedly. Not long after, he felt a warm current in his mind, as if it had seeped into his entire body.
Lin Muyu was secretly delighted. This was the "Power of Beast Taming" mentioned in the Spiritual Communication Technique. If he did not have this kind of power, he would not be able to truly tame a Spirit Beast.
It was obvious that the relationship between Du Yiming and the Umbrella Dragon was not one of "taming", but one of dependence. If one truly wanted to tame a Spirit Beast, they would have to sign a soul contract. Once Du Yiming died, the Umbrella Dragon would definitely die with its soul scattered. A pity that even after Du Yiming's death, the Umbrella Dragon still continued to attack Qin Yin. It was enough to show that Du Yiming's mastery in the Spiritual Communication Technique was only at the tip of the iceberg. So the book ended up in the hands of Lin Muyu and Qin Yin.
…
By nightfall, they had traveled far into the Dragon Seeking Forest. A few Spirit Beasts had appeared along the way, but they were only wild beasts with a lifespan of over ten years and did not possess true spirituality.
At this moment, Lin Muyu had already cultivated the Power of Beast Taming. She was just waiting to find a Spirit Beast to test it out.
Just then, there was a sudden fluctuation in the Spiritual Pulse Technique. Lin Muyu quickly looked to the right and said, "Xiao Yin, there seems to be something following us over there."
"Oh?"
Qin Yin smiled. "What is it?"
"You'll know when you see it."
Lin Muyu suddenly raised her arm. Immediately, green vines swept across the ground with a "shua shua shua" sound, followed by a howl. It was a Snow Leopard. There was a golden pattern and two silver patterns on its forehead. It was a 1200-year-old Spirit Beast. At this moment, its limbs were tightly bound by the gourd vines.
Lin Muyu's strength far surpassed this 1200-year-old Spirit Beast. Her Martial Soul was exceptionally powerful. Naturally, the Snow Leopard could not break free from the gourd vines.
Qin Yin urged her horse forward and said with a smile, "Yu wants to tame this Snow Leopard?"
"Mm, I want to try. Xiao Yin, protect me."
"Yes!"
… …
Lin Muyu stood still. He could understand the Snow Leopard's roar, which was filled with anger. But after a few minutes, the roar became more drawn out and became a cry for mercy. Lin Muyu could not help but laugh out loud. He activated the Spiritual Pulse Technique and sent his spirit sense into the Snow Leopard's mind. Lin Muyu's body trembled, as if he had entered a different dimension.
"Roar!"
From within the chaos, the Snow Leopard's Beast Spirit pounced forward, its claws extended.
"Impudent ….."
Lin Muyu shouted and punched out, sending the Snow Leopard's Beast Spirit flying. Lin Muyu chased after it and stepped on its body, letting it howl in pain. Lin Muyu's spirit sense increased and the power of Beast Taming transformed into a white ripple that washed over the Snow Leopard's Beast Spirit. Not long after, the Snow Leopard's Beast Spirit trembled uncontrollably, begging for mercy.
"Spare me, I am willing to submit ….."
Suddenly, a voice rang out in Lin Muyu's mind. He opened his eyes and saw the Snow Leopard crawling before him, like a little puppy begging for mercy. It really submitted!
Withdrawing his spirit sense, Lin Muyu placed his palm on the Snow Leopard's head and a milky white stream of warmth flowed into him. The Spirit Assimilation of the Conqueror Manual, allowing one's own soul to completely dominate the Spirit Beast's mind. That was the true Conqueror, a Conqueror that the Spirit Beast would never be able to resist!
… …
The Snow Leopard howled and crawled obediently at its master's feet, even wagging its tail.
Qin Yin laughed lightly as she dismounted and stroked the Snow Leopard's head. She said with a smile: "Big Brother Yu, it's suddenly become so cute ….."
"That is ….."
Lin Muyu smiled proudly. But at this time, the Snow Leopard suddenly howled violently. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws, revealing its ferocious appearance. Traces of blood seeped out of its eyes and mouth, and it fell to the ground, struggling and crawling. It looked as if it was about to die.
"What's wrong!?" Lin Muyu turned pale with fright.
Qin Yin hurriedly flipped through the Conqueror Manual. She raised her head and said: "Big Brother Yu, quickly stop using your spirit sense to invade its mind. This Snow Leopard's soul is not strong enough to withstand your soul, it's about to die!"
"Ah?"
Lin Muyu did not want to let the Snow Leopard die in vain, so she quickly withdrew all of her spirit sense. Immediately, the Snow Leopard's pain disappeared. It ran into the forest with its tail between its legs, not daring to attack Lin Muyu and Qin Yin anymore.
She could not help but feel a little disappointed. Lin Muyu clenched her fists and said: "Damn, the cooked duck flew away ….."
Qin Yin smiled lightly and comforted her, "Don't be sad ….. Just find another Spirit Beast with a stronger soul and tame it ….."
"Mm."
