I Live Forever With My Proficiency

Chapter 217 Controlling the Beast

"Cloud-winged birds are very common at Fengqi Sect auctions. Liao Xiafu probably bought them from Fengqi Sect disciples. Our Yun family also had cloud-winged birds in the past, but the detection range of this cloud-winged bird is limited, and its detection range is limited. Usually I can only remember two kinds of spiritual plant scents, so I don’t buy too many.”

"Unfortunately, even if it is not very useful. After the disaster in Yunzhong City, the few monks who were looking for medicine died, and the few cloud-winged birds that were connected to their masters did not survive."

After Liao Xiafu left, Yun Haitang looked at Chen Ping's bird and said leisurely.

In the past, Yun Haitang often participated in the Fengqi Sect's auctions held every five years. The Fengqi Sect itself was famous for its beast control, with many small animals of all kinds.

Chen Ping's only previous Spirit Beast, Jiuyou Colorful Cicada, was auctioned by Yun Haitang from Fengqi Sect.

Chen Ping nodded.

I quickly looked through the books.

I have a general understanding of the cloud-winged bird.

They are all produced by Fengqi Sect, and their beast control training methods are very similar to those of Jiuyou Colorful Cicada.

The higher the beast control proficiency, the greater the number of spiritual materials that can be identified, and the farther the range of perception can be.

It's great if it can be upgraded.

‘Haha, that’s because you are not proficient enough. ’

Chen Ping smiled inwardly.

But according to Yun Haitang, the Yun family doesn't rely much on this cloud-winged bird to find medicine.

Stumped, is there any other way?

Chen Ping asked for advice:

"What are the usual methods of finding medicine?"

Yun Haitang nodded slightly:

"The Yun family used to have both Spirit Beast and Law Weapon for identifying medicinal materials. Just before Chen Fellow Daoist agreed to Fellow Daoist Liao, I wanted to tell Chen Fellow Daoist that I also had a Law Weapon for identifying medicinal materials, but Chen Fellow Daoist replied too quickly. , and thinking that keeping the spiritual rice and Demonic Beast meat for them was not a big deal, so I didn’t mention it on the spot.”

"But neither Law Weapon nor Spirit Beast can be relied upon by herbalists. Some large sects usually have some talented herbalists, and they always rely on their own consciousness..."

Law Weapons have strengths and weaknesses.

The same goes for Spirit Beast.

Compared with Law Weapon, the disadvantage of Spirit Beast is that it has a low starting point, is not as easy to use as Law Weapon when you first get started, and it requires time and effort to train Spirit Beast.

But there are advantages.

The Spirit Beast is alive and can communicate with its owner, which Law Weapon can never compare to.

And the Spirit Beast can be upgraded.

The more skilled you are at controlling beasts, the better your ability to recognize medicine will be.

Once the proficiency in beast control skills reaches a certain level, it is far from being comparable to Law Weapon.

As for the genius herbalist mentioned by Yun Haitang, that is not something Chen Ping needs to consider. He knew that he had never been close to being a genius.

Whether it is cultivating talents, drawing talismans, setting up formations, or even collecting herbs now, it has always been like this.

‘Oh, I really envy those geniuses. …I’m different, I rely entirely on my own efforts. ’

…

Now that he has the Cloud-winged Bird, Chen Ping and Yun Haitang discussed going out a few months later, waiting for his Cloud-winged Bird to become familiar with the training.

After Yun Haitang left, Chen Ping immediately took out the cloud-winged bird from the spiritual pet bag.

The cloud-winged bird is not big, like a sparrow.

His whole body was gray and gray.

His eyes were extremely bright, and he would tilt his head from time to time, glance at Chen Ping, look at the unfamiliar environment and unfamiliar people, and chirp.

This cloud-winged bird originally recognized Liao Xiafu as its master, but Liao Xiafu had previously terminated the master-servant relationship through a specific method.

At this moment, Chen Ping opened the book and first looked at the recognition ceremony - the recognition ceremony of the Cloud-winged Bird and the Jiuyou Colorful Cicada were almost the same.

Chen Ping is very familiar with this.

The recognition ceremony was quickly completed.

At that moment, there was an additional text on the panel:

[Spell: Cloud-winged Bird Beast Control (Introduction): 1/1000. ]

‘Another beast-controlling skill. ’

‘Looking at the content of this technique, it also comes from Fengqi Sect. The beast control skills are very similar to Jiuyou Colorful Cicada. It's probably not difficult to gain proficiency. ’

‘First try to connect the minds of master and servant. ’

Chen Ping tried to summon the cloud-winged bird.

Soon, he felt that he seemed to have some kind of spiritual bond with the cloud-winged bird.

Without using his spiritual consciousness, he can clearly perceive where the cloud-winged bird is and what he is thinking.

"Go and fly around outside the house to see if anyone is there." Chen Ping ordered.

Sure enough, the cloud-winged bird chirped and immediately spread its wings and flew out.

After a while, it flew back again.

He shook his head vigorously.

‘Can communicate’… This is the effect that Law Weapon will never have.

However, these are secondary. The most important thing is to be able to identify medicinal plants.

Chen Ping recited the magic formula silently, continued to communicate with the cloud-winged bird, and continued to improve his proficiency in controlling the beast.

In the process, Chen Ping finally understood why the number of medicinal materials identified by the Cloud-winged Bird could increase as its proficiency increased. This was because the Cloud-winged Bird's enlightenment in identifying medicinal materials came from its owner, rather than from its own personal observation of spiritual materials.

Precisely because of this, the higher the proficiency, the stronger the mental connection between the master and the Spirit Beast, and the master's enlightenment knowledge of spiritual plant identification can be passed on to the Cloud-Winged Bird.

At the current "entry" stage, only two kinds of spiritual materials can be identified.

‘…Two kinds are enough. ’

‘What needs to be determined is, which two? This needs to be confirmed at the current stage in order to gain proficiency as quickly as possible. ’

Chen Ping continued to look through the books.

After the Cloud-winged Bird obtains the enlightenment of this spiritual plant aura from its master, this information will be imprinted on the Cloud-winged Bird's mind.

Form a frame.

Then, when continuing to increase proficiency, it is best to use real spiritual plant medicinal materials as an aid, which will not only continuously strengthen the Cloud-winged Bird's familiarity with spiritual plants, but also continuously improve the owner's empathy with the Spirit Beast.

A two-pronged approach to improve proficiency.

This further increases the range of the Cloud-winged Bird's perception of spiritual materials.

‘So, we still have to find two spiritual plants that are on the task list. ’

‘I don’t know if there is one in Fangshi? If not, then you can only rent it from Lingxiao Sect. ’

After Chen Ping made up his mind, he immediately got up and went out.

Went to Fangshi first.

Because it was cold winter and covered with heavy snow, there were not too many active merchants and cultivators in the market.

Chen Ping walked around but didn't find a stall selling the spiritual plants on the task list. The individual spiritual plants sold on behalf of others were all Spirit Gathering or healing spiritual plants, similar to those planted by Yu Lingchun.

There are still many brands seeking to buy Divine Pill, and these monks appear in the market regardless of rain or shine.

It’s hard enough to keep your cultivation level from stagnation.

Chen Ping walked out of Fangshi.

He went straight to the Lingxiao Sect medicinal material store.

The spiritual materials in the task list are not sold in the medicinal materials shop, only purchased.

During the previous teaching, the deacon of Lingxiao Sect had said that in order to facilitate the Foundation Building Fellow Daoist to familiarize themselves with these spiritual plants in advance, the Foundation Building monks can rent these spiritual plants and medicinal materials in the shop with the token.

Yes, not selling, but renting.

It must be paid back after half a year, and if you rent one plant, you need to return two plants, and the interest rate is 100%.

Absolute Immortal Cultivation World capitalist.

Because of this, Chen Ping had never thought of renting before.

It's only now that I really need it.

When Chen Ping arrived at the store, there were two other Foundation Building monks renting spiritual plants.
