Chapter 23 Mo Yanxue's Doubts
The Cangbai Eagle's pride was something they had come to understand all too clearly over the half-month they had spent together.
At the slightest dissatisfaction, it would refuse to eat, and once it showed any intent to submit, it would try to commit suicide... Steward Liao, Yu Longqing, even thought it impossible to ever succeed, yet after I beat it up, it willingly offered its soul...
Are you friggin' kidding me?
Is beast taming really that simple?
Steward Liao, who was about to mock Zhang Xuan, found all the words jammed in his throat, his face turning beet red.
The more he had blabbered before, the more embarrassed he was now.
In order to persist, City Lord Yu had tried countless methods, almost to the point where both man and eagle were to drop dead from exhaustion, ending up with nothing but wasted effort. And yet, a good beating, which altogether lasted less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, had the creature meekly submitting, as tame as can be...
Is the gap between people really so vast?
"Submission is good!"
Ignoring everyone's astonishment, Zhang Xuan smiled faintly, "City Lord, hurry up and receive the blood essence, then you can control it..."
As previously speculated, as long as one is willing to burn the Burning New World, the Beast Pummeling Taming Method can be used in this Source World, too, and can make the Primordial Beasts submit willingly.
In that case, there was no need to beat the creature to death and then awaken its spirit, saving quite a lot of trouble.
However, to subdue it, not only did it consume a mountain spanning over a hundred thousand miles, but in order to "see" the Cangbai Eagle's flaws, the books in the school that had absorbed the Heavenly Mandate Vitality also burned up almost seven to eight hundred volumes.
At this moment, the Library of Heaven's Path was like a precision instrument that needed fuel to operate... the Heavenly Mandate Vitality!
As for why he could overpower this guy... the Cangbai Eagle had been tormented for over half a month and had also run its head into an iron frame, its life nearly gone, and it was easy to overpower it with burning strength.
"Alright!"
Hearing the young man's words and knowing it was not a time to be astonished, Yu Longqing did not hesitate and hurried forward, biting his finger and touching it to the suspended blood essence in the air.
As soon as the two drops of blood essence came into contact, the Cangbai Eagle's soul energy would enter his body, turning it into his beast pet, unable to escape for a lifetime.
Just as Yu Longqing's finger was about to touch the Cangbai Eagle's blood essence, the latter suddenly raised its head and swallowed the blood back into its stomach, while embracing the iron pillar it had run into before and shaking its head nonstop.
Clang, clang, clang, clang!
The sound resonated like the ringing of bells, and in the blink of an eye, it was bleeding from its head again.
It looked as if it had felt humiliated once more and did not want anyone to stop it, intent on seeking death.
Yu Longqing and Steward Liao exchanged glances, simultaneously twitching the corners of their mouths.
A natural affinity? I saw you beating the hell out of it...
However, if that wasn't the case, there really would be no way to explain why, despite being beaten so miserably and humiliated, the proud Cangbai Eagle could still listen obediently and even take pride in its submission...
"Isn't it about time for Steward Liao to fulfill his promise?"
Zhang Xuan, eager to prevent further questioning, looked towards Liao Shiquan not far away.
"This..."
Steward Liao, feeling a burning sensation on his face, couldn't help but glance awkwardly at Yu Longqing beside him.
Thinking the other party was insolent and spouting nonsense, it turns out he was the fool all along...
"It's just a matter of seeing and finding a cultivation method to open up a Source Pool, quite simple. I will arrange for someone to take you there now," Yu Longqing intervened with a smile to break the awkwardness.
Previously he was somewhat worried that the other party might be a spy intent on leaking the secrets of the City Lord Residence's Book Collection Vault, but now it seemed like an unfounded concern.
Let alone anything else, just the talent for beast taming alone would be highly valued anywhere else, and could even earn one a position as an honorary elder. How could such a person, for stealing some basic secret manuals on finding Source Pools, go to such lengths?
"Thank you, City Lord..."
Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing his agreement.
He was willing to burn his way through the new world, all to gather the complete cultivation method and practice as soon as possible; now was finally the time to reap the rewards.
"Zhang Xuan, here are the 196 Origin Currency I promised you..." Yu Xiaoyu approached, rummaging for a while to produce a large pile of change.
"Thank you!" With a hehehe laugh, Zhang Xuan received it with a face full of glee.
"Xiaoyu, what's this about?" City Lord Yu was full of confusion.
"This is the reward I promised him for helping to tame the Cangbai Eagle..." Yu Xiaoyu nodded.
"Helping to tame a Primordial Beast... for only 196 Origin Currency? With both whole and fractional amounts?" The corner of Steward Liao's mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt even more embarrassed.
Over the past half month, they had spent over 100,000 Origin Currency trying to tame the eagle, to no avail, and even nearly pushed it to suicide. Yet, this guy succeeds in a short time and asks for only 196, sparing them the grief of comparisons. In an instant, he felt utterly ashamed, as if he wanted to kill himself on the spot.
To think he had doubted such a capable person... truly humiliating.
"Wait, if taming Primordial Beasts is so easy for you, a beating does the job, then... why does the Suxiang Horse have cuts on its belly, and even died?"
At that moment, Mo Yanxue couldn't hold back any longer and blurted out the question that was on her mind.
