Each of them swore an Oath of Heavenly Secrets, stating that the Beast Mark technique would not be sold and would only be used for their own research or as a gift to someone close to them. Lu Ye handed the jade slip to Xia Qianqian and the other two, allowing them to make copies of it.
Lu Ye took the spirit beast pouch and examined it over and over again.
The pouch looked similar to a storage pouch and was sewn together from the hide of an unknown beast. However, the spirit beast pouch in his hand seemed to have been passed down for a long time and its surface was already somewhat worn out.
Thinking back to what the Great Elder had said before, there were only a dozen or so of these things in the entire Myriad Beast Sect and they were all passed down by their ancestors. They were obviously valuable and rare.
The restriction on the pouch had already been removed and Lu Ye only needed to circulate his spiritual energy to refine it. After inspecting it, he was surprised.
There was a small space inside the pouch. It wasn't too big, but the space inside the pouch felt different from the space inside a storage pouch.
Spirit beast pouch, spirit beast pouch. Just by hearing the name, one could guess what the pouch's purpose was.
Lu Ye held the spirit beast pouch and looked at Hu Po who was lying down next to him.
As if sensing something, Hu Po raised its head and met Lu Ye's eyes.
Lu Ye held up the spirit beast pouch in his hand and gestured. Hu Po stood up and Lu Ye circulated his spiritual energy and covered it with the pouch.
Hu Po immediately disappeared.
Probing with his perception, he found that Hu Po had already been put into the spirit beast pouch. However, because it was his first time in such a space, Hu Po wasn't used to it and kept twisting its body. Furthermore, the space inside the pouch felt extremely cramped.
As Hu Po wriggled, the surface of the spirit beast pouch undulated.
This spirit beast pouch really could hold living things!
Normal storage pouches didn't have this ability. All storage pouches could only hold things that didn't have any life force. If a living thing was forcefully stored inside, the life force stored in the storage pouch would dissipate before long.
Lu Ye did have an item that could store living things, and that was the Nine Worlds Diagram!
This Spirit Treasure could even store a living person, let alone other things. However, it was still a spirit treasure that looked like a picture scroll. It could be used in battle, but it wasn't suitable to be carried around normally. Furthermore, maintaining the Nine Worlds Diagram required a lot of spiritual energy.
How could it compare to the convenience of this spirit beast pouch? With such a small pouch, Lu Ye could hang it around his waist or keep it close to his body.
This way, Hu Po wouldn't have to sit on his shoulder all the time.
It wasn't that Hu Po sitting on his shoulder would be a hindrance, but a demonic beast with such obvious characteristics that it would easily become Lu Ye's identity!
For example, at the Spirit Stream Battlefield, almost all the cultivators of the Myriad Demon Ridge knew that Lu Yiye of the Jade Blood Sect had a white tiger monster beast by his side. Many people who had never seen Lu Yiye before could infer his identity from the presence of Hu Po.
As a result, sometimes Lu Ye couldn't hide his identity even if he wanted to.
But now that he had the Spirit Beast Pouch, he didn't have to worry about this anymore. If he wanted to hide his identity in the future, he only needed to store the amber in the Spirit Beast Pouch, then go to the Tianji Treasury and pick out a Spirit Tool that could change his appearance. Who would know who he was?
He waited excitedly for a while before releasing Hu Po. Hu Po immediately pounced on the Spirit Beast Pouch in Lu Ye's hand and pretended to bite it. Lu Ye hurriedly held it down.
..................
The battlefield imprint sent a message. Lu Ye checked it and found it was from Yiyi.
Yiyi couldn't show herself in front of outsiders, so she could only communicate with him in this way.
After listening to Yiyi's explanation, Lu Ye found out that it didn't feel too good to put Hu Po into the Spirit Beast Pouch. Not only was it pitch-black inside, it was also really cramped. However, the space inside wasn't fixed. Hu Po's current kitten-like body could be put inside, so even if he reverted to his original form, he could still be put inside.
Under Hu Po's unwilling gaze, Lu Ye kept the Spirit Beast Pouch close to her body and promised Hu Po that she wouldn't put it into the Spirit Beast Pouch unless it was absolutely necessary. Only then did Hu Po settle down.
The three women returned the jade slips and sat down cross-legged.
Lu Ye threw a few spirit pills into his mouth, recovering while studying the beast seal technique.
At first, he didn't care much, but as he studied the beast seal technique, Lu Ye's expression gradually became serious.
This beast seal technique was definitely something that had never appeared in the cultivation world of the Nine Regions. If this technique was popularized, it would greatly improve the cultivators of the Beast Taming School!
In the cultivation world of the Nine Regions, the Beast Taming School was one of the many small schools. However, compared to other small schools, such as the Yanshi School, the Beast Taming School was much larger. Even someone like Lu Ye who had a demonic beast by his side could be considered a member of the Beast Taming School.
Being proficient in human nature, a tamed demonic beast could become a helper. In the early stages of a cultivator's cultivation, a demonic beast could often be of great help. Not only could it help kill enemies, but it could also be used to travel. Therefore, many cultivators liked to have a demonic beast by their side when they were weak, if the conditions were right.
However, the Beast Taming School was the same as other small schools. It was difficult for strong cultivators to appear in the school because the cultivators of this school mainly cultivated demonic beasts and supplemented themselves.
They were often passionate about subduing and cultivating powerful demonic beasts, letting the demonic beasts fight on their behalf. A large portion of the cultivation resources they obtained were invested in the demonic beasts. As a result, the more they walked on the path of cultivation, the harder it was for them to grow.
Many cultivators of the Beast Taming School in the Nine Regions had ten or twenty demonic beasts under their command.
When Lu Ye was trying to break through the Spirit Stream List, he had encountered a cultivator of the Beast Taming School. That cultivator's strength was not great, but the demonic beasts under his command were very fierce. Therefore, when Lu Ye broke through the demonic beasts' blockade and rushed in front of him, his defeat was already set.
Cultivators' cultivation was still based on the people. Demonic beasts could only be considered as external forces.
Lu Ye originally thought that the Beast Taming School in the Realm of Beasts was also like that. However, when he saw the Beast Mark Method, he realized that he was wrong.
Every school had its own value and meaning. In the Realm of Beasts, the Beast Taming School could become the main school because, although they tamed and cultivated demonic beasts like the cultivators of the Nine Regions, they did not rely on the demonic beasts. Their cultivation was based on the people!
The Beast Taming School in the Realm of Beasts would never have a cultivator with more than ten demonic beasts under his command. Most cultivators only had one demonic beast, and that was their natal demonic beast.
Very few people had multiple demonic beasts, but at most, they would not have more than three. Because they had too many demonic beasts under their command, they did not have the resources and energy to cultivate them.
The so-called natal demonic beast was a secret technique that connected the cultivator's life with the demonic beast's, sharing both honor and disgrace.
In this way, the cultivator's life was closely related to his natal demonic beast. When the cultivator lived, the demonic beast lived. When the cultivator died, the demonic beast died.
On the other hand, if the natal demonic beast died in battle, the cultivator, as the master, would not die. He would only suffer some backlash.
After all, this was a secret technique developed by cultivators. Naturally, cultivators would be given more preferential treatment.
The best way to choose a natal demonic beast was when it was just born. This way, the relationship between the cultivator and the demonic beast would be stronger. Only when the cultivator and the demonic beast reached a level where they were willing to give up their lives for each other, could they connect their life forces and make the demonic beast the cultivator's natal demonic beast. Then, they could form a Beast Mark.
After forming a Beast Mark, the cultivator would be able to borrow the strength of their natal demonic beast to a certain extent to increase their own battle prowess. If both sides had enough trust and tacit understanding, they could even merge their natal demonic beast with the Beast Mark, greatly increasing their strength.
From this, it could be seen that regardless of whether it was the connection of life forces or the formation of a Beast Mark, the cultivators of the Myriad Beasts Realm adhered to the principle of humanism. This was completely different from the Beast Taming School of the Nine Provinces.
If this secret technique were to spread to the Nine Provinces, it would be enough to topple the Beast Taming School of the Nine Provinces. No Beast Taming School of the Nine Provinces would reject this secret technique. With this secret technique, the Beast Taming School of the Nine Provinces would be able to become the main school of Beast Taming School.
Lu Ye was immersed in the mysteries of this secret technique when he suddenly smelled a fragrance. He turned his head to look. It was Xia Qianqian. She nudged him with her elbow and said, "Let's discuss this. Let's sell this secret technique to the Tianji Treasury."
She clearly realized the importance of this secret technique. This secret technique could change the status of a school. If they sold it to the Tianji Treasury, the benefits were secondary. The most important thing was that they would receive the attention of the heavens. No matter what they did in the future, it would be like the heavens were helping them.
This was the first time she had encountered such a good thing. Moreover, it was all thanks to Lu Ye. Naturally, she had to discuss this with Lu Ye. After all, they had just sworn an oath to the heavens. If Lu Ye didn't agree, no one would dare to casually break the oath.
"How much merit points is it worth?" Lu Ye asked.
Xia Qianqian chuckled, "Don't be so shallow. This isn't about merit points. If we really sell this to the Tianji Treasury, we will definitely receive the attention of the heavens. Do you understand? With the heavens watching you, your luck will be even better in the future. "
These words made Lu Ye's heart skip a beat. His recent good luck was most likely due to the blessings he received from the heavens. In that case, if he sold this secret technique to the Tianji Treasury, he would also be able to accumulate his own luck. It was similar to the blessings he received from the heavens. However, it was hard to say which one was more effective.
Lu Ye reckoned that the blessings from the heavens would be better. After all, this was an honor that no one had received in decades.
"Are you sure?" Lu Ye raised his eyebrows. Although his luck was good enough, no one would complain about having better luck.
"Do you know how the small schools of the Nine States came to be?" Xia Qianqian didn't answer his question. She didn't wait for Lu Ye to ask and began to explain, "They are all spread out from hidden realms. In hidden realms like the Realm of Beasts, these schools are the main schools. Most of the cultivators in the world belong to those schools, just like the Beast Taming School here. Cultivators from the Nine States train there and bring out what they learn. After that, various small schools appeared in the Nine States."
