I will survive with proficiency

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

"Unfortunately, even if it is not very useful. After the disaster in Yunzhong City, the monks who were looking for the medicine died, and the few cloud-winged birds were connected with their masters, and they 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 auction every five years. The Fengqi Sect itself was famous for its imperial beasts, and there were many small animals of all kinds.

Chen Ping's only spirit beast before—the Nine Nether Colorful Cicada was auctioned by Yun Haitang from Fengqi Sect.

Chen Ping nodded.

Quickly flipped through the booklet.

I have a general understanding of cloud-winged birds.

They are all produced by Fengqi Sect, and its beast training mode is very familiar with Jiuyou Colorful Cicada.

The higher the proficiency of beast master, the more identifiable spiritual materials and the farther the range of perception.

It's nice to be able to upgrade.

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

Chen Ping smiled inwardly.

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

Is there any other way?

Chen Ping asked for advice:

"What are the usual means of finding medicine?"

Yun Haitang nodded slightly:

"The Yun family used to have spirit beasts that identify medicinal materials, as well as magic tools. Before Chen Daoyou promised Liao Daoyou, I wanted to tell Chen Daoyou that I still have a medicine-seeking magic weapon, but Chen Daoyou replied too quickly, and wanted to keep them. Rice and monster meat are not a big deal, so they were not mentioned on the spot."

"But magic tools and spirit beasts are not the absolute reliance of pharmacists. Some big sects usually have some talented pharmacists, and they always rely on their own consciousness..."

There are strong and weak instruments.

The same is true for spirit beasts.

Compared with magic weapons, spirit beasts have a low starting point, they are not as easy to use as magic weapons when you first start, and it takes time and effort to train spirit beasts.

But there are advantages too.

Spirit beasts are alive and can communicate with their masters, something magical artifacts can never compare to.

And spirit beasts can be upgraded.

The more proficient you are at controlling beasts, the better the effect of knowing medicine.

After the proficiency of beast mastering skills reaches a certain level, it is far from being comparable to magic weapons.

As for the genius pharmacist that Yun Haitang mentioned, that's not something Chen Ping needs to consider. He knew that he had never been a genius.

Whether it's cultivation talent, drawing talismans, arranging formations, or even picking herbs today, it's always been like this.

‘Oh, I really envy those geniuses. ...I'm different, it's all on my own. '

...

Now that there is a cloud-winged bird, Chen Ping and Yun Haitang discussed going out a few months later, and waited for his cloud-winged bird to be trained and familiarized.

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.

The whole body is gray and not slippery.

His eyes were extremely piercing, and he tilted his head from time to time to take a look at Chen Ping, sized up strange people in strange environments, and chirped.

This cloud-winged bird had already recognized its master with Liao Xiafu, but Liao Xiafu had previously dissolved the master-servant relationship through a specific formula.

At this moment, Chen Ping opened the booklet, and first took a look at the Lord Recognition Ceremony - the recognition ceremony of Cloud Winged Bird and Nine Nether Colorful Cicada is almost the same.

Chen Ping is familiar with this.

The recognition ceremony was quickly completed.

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

[Spell: Cloud-winged Bird Beast Control (Entry): 1/1000. 】

'There is another beast control technique. '

'Looking at the content of this formula, it is also from Fengqi Sect, and the skills of controlling beasts are very similar to those of Nine Nether Colorful Cicadas. It is estimated that it is not difficult to brush proficiency. '

‘First try the master-servant mind-communication. '

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 it is thinking.

"Go and fly around 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.

Shaking his head vigorously.

'Can communicate'... This is the effect that magical instruments will never have.

But these are secondary, the most important thing is to be able to identify medicinal plants.

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

During this process, Chen Ping finally understood why the cloud-winged bird can identify more medicinal materials after its proficiency increases, because the enlightenment of cloud-winged bird's identification of medicinal materials comes from its master, not from its own observation of spiritual materials.

It is precisely because of this that the higher the proficiency, the stronger the connection between the master and the spirit beast, and the enlightenment knowledge of the master's recognition of the spirit plant 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, so that it is convenient to brush up the proficiency as quickly as possible. '

Chen Ping continued to look through the books.

After the cloud-winged bird obtains the enlightenment of this kind of spiritual plant breath from the master, this information will be imprinted in the cloud-winged bird's mind.

Form a freeze frame.

Then, when continuing to improve proficiency, it is best to use real spiritual plant medicinal materials as an aid, which not only continuously strengthens the cloud-winged bird's familiarity with spiritual plants, but also continuously improves the empathy between the master and the spiritual beast.

A two-pronged approach to improve proficiency.

This further increases the range of cloud-winged bird's perception of spiritual materials.

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

‘I don’t know if there are any in Fangshi? If not, then you can only go to Lingxiaozong to rent it. '

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

First went to Fangshi.

Because it is cold winter and covered with heavy snow, there are not too many merchants and monks who are active in the square city.

Chen Ping walked around, but he didn't come to any stalls that sold the spiritual plants listed in the task list. The individual spiritual plants for sale were also some spiritual plants for gathering spirits or healing wounds, which were similar to those planted by Yu Lingchun.

There are still many brands seeking to buy the refreshing pill, and these monks appear in the market regardless of the weather.

In order not to stagnate in cultivation, it is hard enough.

Chen Ping walked out of Fangshi.

I went straight to the Lingxiaozong medicinal material store.

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

During the teaching before, the deacon of Ling Xiaozong once said that in order to facilitate the foundation-building fellows to get acquainted with these spiritual plants in advance, the foundation-building monks can rent these spiritual plant medicinal materials in shops with tokens.

Yes, not for sale, but for rent.

After half a year, it must be repaid, and one plant is leased, and two plants need to be returned, with an interest rate of 100%.

An absolute capitalist in the world of cultivating immortals.

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

Only now is it necessary to do it as a last resort.

When Chen Ping arrived at the store, there were two other Foundation Establishment cultivators renting Lingzhi.
