Chapter 84
Improving Beast Taming Techniques, Hu Ji is Crazy!
This manual on beast taming is very short, only a dozen pages long, and the text is very concise.
Ying Changqing quickly finished reading the entire book.
He immediately understood the power of mental energy and was extremely surprised: "The power of mental energy is so powerful!"
He never expected that someone could use the power of the mind so well.
Some even suspect that this book on beast taming techniques was not written by the ancestors of the Xiongnu.
This book appears to be a modified version of Taoist mental cultivation methods, or a branch of the Xiling Tianqi Method.
The principle behind the art of beast taming is very simple.
Cultivators first enhance their mental strength, and then merge with the chosen beast.
After a long period of interaction, the beast tamer will get used to and accept the cultivator's mental fluctuations, and will no longer resist them.
In this way, the beast tamer can communicate with the cultivator's mind and fight according to commands.
The caster can directly use mental power, share the beast's vision, and see all the changes on the battlefield.
The principle is simple, but Ying Changqing had never learned how to enhance his mental strength before.
It wasn't until he obtained this book, "The Art of Beast Taming," that he realized that mental power could be enhanced through cultivation.
The cultivation method was the most exquisite part of the entire book, which Ying Changqing greatly admired.
However, the only drawback is that this technique has little effect on Ying Changqing in his current state.
Because ordinary wild beasts are of little help to the powerful Ying Changqing.
Moreover, when observing the surrounding environment, Ying Changqing can use the Soul Dragon Soaring skill.
This way, their whereabouts won't be exposed, the monitoring range is no worse than that of beast taming techniques, and there's no need to worry about the beasts dying.
It's not useful now, but it might be useful in the future.
This book on beast taming techniques has enormous potential for the future.
For example, the assassin Bai Feng will one day ride a large bird that can carry people into the sky—the White Phoenix.
There are also the fire unicorn in Lingyun Cave, the divine dragon on Dragon Island, and the demonic dragon in the Temple of War God, etc.
Ying Changqing can use his beast-taming technique to subdue these legendary creatures, which will greatly enhance his strength.
Even if not used in combat, they are extremely attractive as mounts.
The white phoenix, the divine dragon, and the qilin far surpass ordinary warhorses.
"The scene of riding a fire-breathing unicorn must be spectacular."
Thinking of this, Ying Changqing was extremely excited, his eyes sparkling with excitement, and his hands unconsciously tightened their grip.
"Master~"
Hu Ji felt pain, bent over and grabbed his wrist, calling out softly with tears in her eyes.
Looking at her, Ying Changqing reached out and gently stroked her cheek.
There is no distinction between men and women on the battlefield, and Ying Changqing never shows mercy.
But he wouldn't waste the prisoners; he was used to eating every single grain of rice in his bowl.
Hu Ji felt Ying Changqing's pity and immediately stopped crying. She knelt at his feet, rested her head on his knees, and became as docile as a lamb.
Ying Changqing stroked her long hair and said, "Get up and put on your clothes."
"It's getting cold, don't catch a cold."
"Thank you, Master."
Hu Ji stood up and used a silk handkerchief to wipe the wine stains off her body.
Then she straightened her scattered clothes and knelt down next to Ying Changqing again.
"Master, the art of beast taming is a secret technique of the Xiongnu royal family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, but it is very difficult to master and very few people can become proficient in it."
"Is there anything you don't understand, Master? Would you like me to explain it in detail?"
Hu Ji looked at Ying Changqing with worry in her eyes, as if she was afraid that he would not be able to learn the art of beast taming.
Hearing Hu Ji's concern, Ying Changqing smiled.
This was the first time someone had offered to teach him a secret technique.
Ying Changqing knew that Hu Ji was unaware of his talent; she was simply concerned.
Therefore, Ying Changqing did not take this matter to heart.
He casually lit a purple flame, burning the manual to ashes.
Then close your eyes and lean back in your chair.
Ying Changqing stopped talking, and the tent fell silent, with only the occasional sound of Hu Ji rubbing her face against his palm.
He pondered the art of beast taming in his mind and prepared to improve it.
This technique is very similar to Taoist methods of cultivating the mind, and both have high entry requirements.
Therefore, Ying Changqing decided to lower the difficulty of beast taming cultivation.
He didn't expect all soldiers to be able to perfectly imbue their spiritual power into their beasts like Hu Ji.
I only hope that every soldier can achieve basic communication with their tamed beast.
A large pack of wolves, known as the moon wolf, lives on the grasslands.
These wolves are larger than ordinary wolves, about the size of an adult horse.
The moon wolf clan on the grasslands tamed moon wolves and used them in battle.
The Xiongnu people therefore called them the Moon Wolf Clan.
The Moon Wolf clan is now in a dangerous situation.
They were not Xiongnu, but lived on the grasslands, so the Xiongnu ostracized and attacked them.
The Moon Wolf tribe was small in number, and even with the help of the Moon Wolves, they could not stop the Xiongnu cavalry.
The entire Moon Wolf tribe is on the verge of extinction.
They would either become slaves of the Xiongnu or be exterminated.
Ying Changqing wanted Bi Dun to subdue these people and then send them to Yao Guang City to help him tame and raise the Moon Wolves.
Once there are enough Moon Wolves, Ying Changqing will replace the horses of the 500 Blood Dragon Riders with Moon Wolves to form a Wolf Rider force.
The Moon Wolf clan cannot achieve this goal.
They must start training them from cubs to get the moon wolves completely obedient.
Therefore, the art of beast taming is key.
Once all Blood Dragon Riders learn the art of Beast Taming, they can easily control adult Moon Wolves.
If the Blood Dragon Rider rides the Moon Wolf, his combat power will be extremely strong.
Warhorses are naturally afraid of wolves, which will cause the enemy to collapse and be unable to resist.
Even among cavalry, the Blood Dragon Cavalry can force their opponents to surrender.
Ying Changqing looked forward to this day.
At that time, the Blood Dragon Cavalry will be the strongest cavalry in the world, invincible.
Ying Changqing knew that the Blood Dragon Cavalry would be invincible wherever they went.
Soon after, Ying Changqing opened his eyes.
Hu Ji knelt respectfully at Ying Changqing's feet, and Ying Changqing stroked her long hair.
Go get paper and pen.
"Yes, Master."
Hu Ji used her red lips to bring over paper and pen, and Ying Changqing began to write.
Hu Ji looked up curiously at Ying Changqing's pen tip.
Her previously languid expression suddenly froze when she saw the contents of the paper, revealing an expression of disbelief.
Soon, his expression completely changed; the languidness vanished, and his eyes were filled with astonishment.
As a member of the Xiongnu royal family and someone who had practiced beast taming techniques, she immediately recognized that Ying Changqing had written about a beast taming technique.
This technique is simpler and easier to understand than the one she practiced; anyone can learn it.
The requirements for cultivators' qualifications are also very low.
This technique is clearly based on her original beast-taming skills, but has been carefully improved.
The requirements for cultivation are simple, but simplifying the cultivation method is by no means easy.
Increasing the difficulty of a technique is easy; it can even be achieved by changing just a few words.
However, lowering the threshold for cultivation and making the techniques simple and easy to learn makes modification extremely difficult.
Only by thoroughly understanding the techniques and grasping them completely can one reach the state of simplifying complexity.
Throughout Xiongnu history, many geniuses attempted to simplify the art of animal taming so that future generations could learn it, but none succeeded.
"Master, are you sure you've never learned the art of beast taming before?"
Hu Ji's scalp tingled, and she stared at Ying Changqing in shock, completely unable to believe it.
In a short time, Ying Changqing accomplished what the Xiongnu had been unable to do for hundreds of years.
Those so-called geniuses of the Xiongnu were utterly insignificant compared to Ying Changqing.
"right."
Ying Changqing didn't look up and continued writing.
After writing down the entire mental cultivation method, he put down his pen with satisfaction and admired his work.
