Immortal Skills - Chapter 88
88 The Complete Beast-Taming Prescription
It was a hot summer.
In a small bamboo-fenced courtyard, a large black dog was lazily sleeping on its stomach. From time to time, it would turn over and lie down under the shade of the tree.
In the courtyard next door, a little girl’s head was hidden in the gap between the bamboo fences. Her big eyes stared straight at Black Bean for a moment, then looked left and right to make sure that there was no sign of kitchen utensils being prepared. She then carried the small wooden bucket back to the house in disappointment.
After a while, Li Qingqing’s frantic scream came from the room next door, “Tian Anan! Who told you to fill a bucket of mud and pour it on the bed?”
!!
Jiang Ming was lying comfortably in the bamboo chair, chuckling at Tian Anan’s fate, and then continued to look at the thick stack of paper in his hand, which was filled with crooked handwriting
It was a complete beast-taming prescription. Jiang Ming looked satisfied.
Black Bean was quite grateful. As soon as it returned home, it wrote the whole beast-taming prescription and apologized for hiding it from Jiang Ming. Jiang Ming also expressed his understanding and wanted to be honest with it in the future.
Soon, Jiang Ming finished reading the stack of paper and was surprised.
“So, this beast-taming prescription actually has three medicinal formulas and a martial arts technique, huh?”
The beast-taming prescription he had obtained before was only the basic formula for beast-taming prescriptions. It was refined with the blood of the beast tamer, and it could help the beast gain intelligence and obey the beast tamer who provided the blood.
As for the second prescription, it required the blood of nine different birds and beasts, supplemented by dozens of medicinal herbs. It was refined into a pill for beast tamers to consume, and they could understand the language of beasts.
“With this medicinal formula, there’s no need to trouble Master Si to translate.” Jiang Ming nodded.
However, the strangest thing was the third prescription. It was still a pill refined with the blood of a beast tamer. It could be fed to a beast that had already taken the first prescription, and the two would establish a mental link. The beast tamer had a chance to place his mind on the beast and control it, as if he had a clone.
However, according to Black Bean’s memory, this was just a myth. No one in the Wu family had ever successfully executed it.
Jiang Ming guessed that the third prescription was so mysterious that it might really involve the scope of immortal cultivators. Ordinary martial artists could not succeed at all.
“However, I can try it when I have time,” he mumbled.
As for the last martial arts technique, only beasts could cultivate it to reach the Grandmaster realm. It seemed quite intimidating. The highest the Wu family had ever gone was a first-class martial artist. They had never been able to break through to the Dao Master realm.
“I wonder how far Master Si and the fat tiger can go with this ” Jiang Ming thought to himself. However, the storm was rising recently, so he did not plan to act rashly for the time being.
“I should keep a low profile in the future.’” Jiang Ming thought of the two people from the Liang family he met in the mountain and what they said. Suddenly, he felt a chill run down his spine.
The Liang family was looking for the inheritor of the beast-taming prescription in the Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest. Wasn’t that him?
If they wanted to catch him, they had to pry open Master Si’s mouth first. If they wanted to do that. they had to first catch it. In order to catch it, they had to avoid the eyes in the Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest. In order to avoid thousands of eyes, they had to kill almost all the beasts in the Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest.
“Our defense is good. However, we can’t let our guard down either. There’s still a slight chance that it might happen. We have to be on guard! Unknowingly, I’ve been targeted by a Grandmaster family! This is horrible!”
Jiang Ming’s eyes flashed, and he made up his mind. “It seems that I have to work hard on my cultivation again!”
There would be trouble if he was targeted. If something happened, he would not be able to survive!
“No one can stop me from hiding!” Jiang Ming’s expression was a little cold. “Not even a Grandmaster family! I said it!”
In a corner of the courtyard, the black dog suddenly shivered.
Over the next few days, Jiang Ming doubled his cultivation. He mercilessly hit himself with the Vitality-Snatching Technique ten times a day. His cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, and he quickly rushed to the peak of the first class.
In addition, Jiang Ming also changed his appearance and sneaked into various medicine shops in the county town to purchase the medicinal herbs needed for the next two prescriptions and studied the refining methods of the two beast-taming pills.
As the days went by, the weather became hotter and hotter. More and more unfamiliar martial artists gathered in Great Cloud City. Great Cloud City was filled with a restless atmosphere.
* * *
It was the 17th of August.
In the small courtyard, Zhou Wenxiu kept wiping her sweat and complained, “What’s wrong with the weather this year? It’s getting hotter and hotter at this time. Is there no end to it?”
Jiang Ming and Tian Anan sat face to face on the ground, staring at each other with their eyes wide open. They gnawed on the watermelons that had just been sliced, ignoring Zhou Wenxiu’s complaints.
Suddenly, a swift flew out of nowhere and landed in the nest under the eaves, chirping.
Jiang Ming lowered his head and nibbled on the watermelon. In his mind, he naturally understood the chirping of the swift.
“The Liang family’s martial artists have entered the mountain. They’re heading straight for the forbidden zone.”
Jiang Ming’s eyes focused, “Is this storm finally going to rise?”
Over the next few days, there was a constant stream of news.
“The six Grandmaster families of the country of Yan have all left Great Cloud City today and entered the Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest!”
An unknown group of carriages came from the capital. The guards of the group casually waved their blades, killing more than ten bandits.
Jiang Ming was shocked. These were Grandmasters!
If mere guards were Grandmasters, the person inside the carriage was unimaginably powerful.
Time gradually passed, and it was now September. The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and it was extremely unusual.
On the other hand, the Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest was getting livelier.
For some reason, the news of the immortal encounter spread throughout the country of Yan. Countless martial artists had traveled thousands of miles to come here, rushing into the Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest from all directions and gathering outside the forbidden zone.
Although the immortal had not yet appeared, bloody conflicts had already broken out from time to time. According to Yu Yan, who was flying back and forth, even the Grandmasters had taken action and destroyed a mountain. Some Grandmasters even coughed up blood and were injured.
“Who the f*ck is this guy? He’s causing such a big scene!” Jiang Ming’s eyelids twitched. This news definitely did not fly out on its own. It was obviously spread by someone with sinister intentions.
