Chapter 6: Taming
Mount Zhu Xia, I'm too lazy to bother with them anymore." 。To invite such a distinguished guest as Lao Di is beyond my ability. 。To be able to settle here, I'm incredibly grateful. 。I never liked th...The black bear eyed Lu Xiaoteng suspiciously, nudging the wolf demon beast on the ground with its paw towards Lu Xiaoteng's feet. Then, drool dripped from its mouth as it turned to the already fragrant barbecue, its plump body pacing anxiously around the meat.
Lu Xia Tian angrily took the cooked wild boar meat and threw it to the black bear. Then, he used his dagger to process the bodies of the two wolves.

Watching the black bear bite into the barbecue he had thrown, devouring it with gusto, Lu Xiaoteng pondered, chin resting on his hand. After a long while, he glanced at the gluttonous bear and suddenly his eyes lit up.
Three days later, at the mouth of a narrow cliff passage, a roasted wild chicken, fragrant and delicious, suddenly appeared. After about the time of an incense stick, the cooked wild chicken was snatched away by a mountain hawk.
"Damn you, you lousy bastard."
To Lu Xia Tian's annoyance, he found an eagle's nest under the cliff, with several mountain eagles coming and going. He had no choice but to find another similar terrain and place a piece of barbecue there.
Half an hour later, a snow-white fox demon beast snatched the roasted meat in one bite. Under Lu Xia Tian's command, the black bear hadn't had time to block the fox demon beast's escape route. Lu Xia Tian only felt a white shadow flash before his eyes, and the figure of the fox demon beast disappeared from the cliff.
After several days, the two wolf demons were killed instantly by a black bear that had them caught off guard.
After such repetitions, three months later, a thin young boy arrived, accompanied by a massive black bear and a flower leopard that walked unsteadily, looking quite small compared to the bear. Like the bear, the leopard had an ancient silver ring around its neck.

Lu Xia Tian let out a breath of relief. After three months, he had finally captured his spirit beast. Although this leopard was only equivalent to the second level of Qi Refining, Lu Xia Tian felt very satisfied. If it weren't for the black bear's help, with his own strength alone, it would be impossible to capture a spirit beast as strong as himself.
What disappointed Lu Xiaotiān was that he searched all over the surrounding area for several months and only found one spiritual herb similar to the previous one. It seemed that spiritual creatures were relatively rare in the canyon.
"Get down!" Lu Xiaottian, who had just obtained a spirit beast, was extremely excited. He returned to his cave and, taking advantage of the hazy night outside, spent the whole night training this leopard spirit beast.
>The leopard was wild and fierce, sprawled before its den, lazily raising its head to glance at Lu Xia Tian with sleepy eyes, then closing them again as if napping. It completely ignored this human who looked far weaker than itself.
"If you ignore me, you'll be in for a tough time."
Lu Xia Tian's face was cold. According to the introductions in Beast Taming Art, taming spirit beasts usually has two ways. One is to start taming from a young beast. This kind of young beast has high obedience and can well execute all kinds of commands from the beast master.
The thing is, Lu Xia Tian didn't have a juvenile beast at all. Besides, the growth cycle of a juvenile beast was too long. During its growth period, it would require additional spiritual objects. Lu Xia Tian himself didn't even have enough spiritual herbs for his own cultivation, so where would he have the energy to raise a juvenile beast
As for another way to train beasts, it is to subdue already grown monsters. Because monsters have already taken shape, they have some wildness that is difficult to tame. Usually, subduing this kind of monster requires not only adventuring during capture but also spending more effort to tame it after capture.
In the face of this Leopard Spirit Beast, which was equivalent to a second-tier Qi Refinement cultivator, Land Xia Tian, with his low cultivation level, was met with disdain.

Lu Xiaitian's lips twitched. At Lei Dao Men, he was just a handyman. Even though the robed elder brought him to this mysterious canyon and taught him some cultivation techniques, the robed elder still treated him as a servant. The black bear was the robed elder's spirit beast, quite powerful. Did this leopard in front of him even think about surpassing him In his dreams!
Lu Xiaitian pinched a formula between his hands, muttering words in his mouth.
At this time, the ancient silver spirit beast ring on Hu Leopard's neck burst with a silver glow. Lu Xiaoteng felt his internal energy surging like a tide into the spirit beast ring. As the spirit beast ring emitted light, it began to slowly shrink.
"Awoo..."
The leopard howled in pain, rolling on the ground. After a moment, beads of cold sweat appeared on Lu Xiaoteng's forehead. The leopard was stronger than him; if not for the spirit beast ring circling its vital point, Lu Xiaoteng wouldn't have been able to subdue it.
Even so, in the leopard's eyes, there was still a defiant gleam.
Even as the leopard rolled on the ground in agony, it showed no sign of surrender.
Lu XiaTian's eyes flashed with coldness. Although the Beast Taming Art mentioned that taming a beast was a long-term process, especially capturing an adult demon beast, it took more than just one day to subdue its wildness. However, at the same time, Lu XiaTian also learned from the Beast Taming Art that even the Beast Soul Ring had quality variations. Some inferior Beast Soul Rings couldn't withstand prolonged magic infusion and could even crack after several repetitions. Lu XiaTian wasn't sure what grade the black-robed elder's beast soul ring was, but in just this short time, the silvery glow of the ancient silver ring had already dimmed by a few points. It probably wasn't something good.

Thinking of this, Lu Xia Tian gritted his teeth and took out the medicine bottle he carried with him. He swallowed the Gathering Qi Pill, a huge amount of pure spiritual energy opened up within his body. Although it was similar to the spiritual energy produced by consuming spirit herbs directly, the spiritual energy from taking the pill was much larger and more gentle. If the spiritual energy from consuming spirit herbs had this scale, it would probably be uncontrollable, clashing inside his body and injuring his meridians.
After taking the Juqi Dan, Lu Xia Tian's pale complexion immediately returned to rosy health as his waning magical energy recovered.
As Lu Xia Tian's hands transformed incantations, the spiritual energy generated by the opening of the Qi Dan in his body suddenly found a breakthrough, continuously pouring into the Beast Spirit Ring.
The beast spirit ring burst forth with a more powerful silver light than before, contracting even more rapidly.
"Surrender, or die!" Half an hour later, Lu Xia Tian coldly looked at the leopard rolling on the ground, already gasping for its last breath.
"Awoooo..."
The leopard howled miserably, perhaps sensing that after a struggle, it had obediently sprawled on all fours before Lu Xiaoteng.
Lu Xia Tian stopped outputting his mana. At this time, the medicinal power of the Gathering Qi Pill had been consumed for the most part, Lu Xia Tian felt a great deal of pain, but luckily he had completely subdued this low-level spirit beast. It took quite a bit of effort before and after.
With a sigh of relief, Lu Xia Tian sat down despite his exhaustion. He began refining the remaining trace amounts of medicinal power from the Qi Condensing Pill within him.
Above the canyon, the bright moon hung high, and everywhere else the moonlight was as clear as water. However, within the canyon, mist swirled. In front of the cave dwelling at the mouth of the valley, Lu Xiaoteng's body had already accumulated a layer of white steam.

The black bear was soundly asleep at the mouth of its den, while the leopard, having suffered several setbacks during the day, lay listlessly a few paces away.
Under the shroud of mist, man and beast stayed together until late at night. As the last trace of spiritual energy from the elixir was completely refined, Lu Xiaocen opened his eyes with lingering satisfaction. The path of cultivation was truly long.
