The Difficulties of Raising Gale Wolves
Upon entering the mountains, Ling Pengyun went straight to the Affairs Hall and sought out the Acting Great Elder Ling Pengliang.
"Sixteenth Brother, during the time I was away from the Lineage territory, did any of the family members stationed at the Low-Order Spirit Vein within the territory crush the Clan Token to call for help?"
"No clansmen crushed the token to call for help, so no clansmen should have encountered any danger during this time. Eighth Brother, did you manage to buy Earth Silk Worm Silk during your trip to the Sun Family Clan Mountain?" Ling Pengliang shook his head, asking Ling Pengyun with a hint of anticipation.
"The Sun Clan has no silk in stock; it will take at least six months before they have any," Ling Pengyun replied.
After chatting for a while, Ling Pengyun said goodbye to Ling Pengliang and left the place, following the main road down to the Back Mountain Pasture.
The Back Mountain Pasture looks completely different now than it did a few months ago.
At this moment, the area of nearly fifty acres behind the mountain, except for the rock wall behind the mountain, is surrounded on the other three sides by a huge earthen wall that is several feet high and one foot thick.
Within the area enclosed by this massive earthen wall, besides the Mountain-Opening Ox, five White Cedar Sheep, and the Gong Pig...
There are also four other types of Demon Beast: two White Feather Horse, three Golden Scale Bird, four Mud Armor Pig, and five Ground Drilling Rat.
These Demon Beast are only at the Early-Stage Qi Training Refining, and their aptitude is barely acceptable. These Demon Beast, including their kin, can basically reach the Early-Stage Qi Training after they come of age.
They were all captured and brought back to the Lineage by Ling Pengyun in recent months, taking advantage of the Demon Beast Uprising and the large number of Demon Beast that broke into the Lineage's territory.
Now, the four kinds of Demon Beast have all had their ferocity extinguished by Ling Yunhan, who manages this place, using the Secret Method of beast taming. As long as you don't attack them first, they won't attack you first.
However, that's all there is to it.
Once these Demon Beast have experienced battles, their suppressed bestial nature will gradually awaken, after all, they have lived in a world of slaughter since birth.
For this very reason, these Demon Beast were merely used as "seeds" by Ling Yunhan, who would cast an Aphrodisiac Technique on Ling Yunhan every day to facilitate mating and increase their chances of reproduction.
Only their offspring will be taken as Spirit Beast by the Ling Clan clan.
Since it was already night, Ling Yunhan was not in the meadow.
Ling Pengyun scanned the surroundings with his Divine Sense and sensed Ling Yunhan's presence above the treehouse of the giant tree in the center of the grassland. Ling Pengyun then walked to the base of the giant tree and patted its trunk.
A short while later, Ling Yunhan emerged from the treehouse atop the giant tree and landed beside Ling Pengyun.
"Peng Yun, didn't you water this grassland with Spirit Rain during the day? Did you catch another Demon Beast this time?" Ling Yunhan asked Ling Pengyun with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
"Indeed, Second Aunt, these are fifteen Early-Stage Qi Training Gale Wolf that my Lineage captured during this trip. I wonder if you are confident that you can tame these fifteen Gale Wolf?"
Ling Pengyun took out three Beast Taming Pouch from his bosom, summoned fifteen Early-Stage Qi Training Refining Gale Wolf that were bound tightly with vines, and then asked.
"Demon Beast quite ferocious, and I am not confident that I can tame them."
Ling Yunhan was slightly pleased to see that there were fifteen Gale Wolf, but her expression was also somewhat heavy.
Her beast-taming rank was only at the First Rank Low Grade, so she found it difficult to tame even the most ferocious Early-Stage Qi Training Demon Beast.
Among the Demon Beast, those Demon Beast love flesh and blood, such as wolves and tigers, are generally extremely ferocious.
It is precisely for this reason that the several kinds of demonic Demon Beast that Ling Yunhan had tamed in the back mountain Ling Clan the Ling Yunhan were all relatively docile, and there were no Demon Beast, wolves, tigers, or leopards among them.
Ling Yunhan merely used the Beast Taming Secret Method to tame the Demon Beast, rather than casting Recognition of Ownership Restriction.
Casting Recognition of Ownership Restriction requires consuming Divine Sense. For Beast Tamer, using Beast Taming Secret Method to subdue Demon Beast is much more convenient than Recognition of Ownership Restriction.
If a cultivator relies solely on the Recognition of Ownership Restriction tame a demon Demon Beast, it is difficult to tame many, as Divine Sense is ultimately limited.
If it weren't for supporting the Sun Clan, Ling Pengyun could have prioritized choosing the rare female wolf given the large number of Gale Wolf besieging the Sun Family Clan Mountain.
In addition, the adult Gale Wolf are of good size, making them suitable for riding, and they also have good reproductive capabilities.
Otherwise, Ling Pengyun wouldn't have captured such ferocious Demon Beast alive.
"If you are confident, that's fine. If you find it difficult to tame these demon wolves using your beast-taming techniques, then just set up Recognition of Ownership Restriction on them. There are ten female wolves among these demon wolves, and I plan to focus on training them in the future."
"Once the number of Gale Wolf reaches a certain scale, every cultivator in my Ling Clan will have one. This will be extremely important for both the cultivators of my clan and the entire Lineage." Ling Pengyun nodded slightly and said solemnly to Ling Yunhan.
When Ling Yunhan heard Ling Pengyun say that there were as many as ten mother wolves, she was immediately shocked.
She strode forward and carefully examined the private parts of the fifteen Gale Wolf.
When the number of female and male wolves was indeed as Ling Pengyun had said, Ling Yunhan said happily.
"Peng Yun, have you stirred up Gale Wolf Pack? There are so many female wolves here."
Generally speaking, there are fewer female monsters than male Demon Beast of any kind.
"We did indeed encounter a pack of wolves numbering in the hundreds," Ling Pengyun replied.
"The Gale Wolf clan has decent potential. Among the hundreds of Gale Wolf, there are probably Foundation Establishment Wolf King. When that pack of wolves broke into the Lineage, were there any casualties?" Ling Yunhan's heart skipped a beat when she heard that the number of wolves was several hundred, and she quickly asked.
"Non-Self Ling Clan that was attacked, but rather the Sun Clan of Ice Flood Dragon County that encountered that pack of Gale Wolf Pack. During the day, someone from the Sun Clan came to our Lineage seeking help, so I went to provide assistance and, incidentally, captured about fifteen of these Early-Stage Qi Training Gale Wolf." Ling Pengyun said with a smile, seeing that Ling Yunhan had misunderstood.
"I see." Hearing this, Ling Yunhan felt relieved and turned her attention back to the fifteen Gale Wolf.
"With these ten female wolves and those five male wolves, raising a wolf pack shouldn't be too difficult."
"However, it will take time to accumulate. It is estimated that it will take decades for the Gale Wolf Pack to reach a certain size, and it will take a hundred years before every member of the clan can be equipped with a Gale Wolf," Ling Yunhan said.
"It doesn't matter if it takes a long time. Raising Spirit Beast for our clan is a time-consuming task. Our Ling Clan can afford to wait a hundred years. Besides, I will also focus on searching for the female Gale Wolf in the future, which will also speed up the growth of the wolf pack," Ling Pengyun said.
The two chatted for a while before Ling Pengyun said goodbye and left to cultivate in his Mountain Top Cave Residence.
Ling Yunhan then used her beast-taming secret technique on the fifteen Gale Wolf overnight to wear down their ferocity and gradually tame them.
Several days later.
In a vast underground cave in Ice Flood Dragon County.
Tian Yuan sat cross-legged on a Meditation Mat, with a demon banner of extremely dense demonic energy, already at the second level, floating in front of him.
Every now and then, painful wails would emanate from within the demon banner.
For every wails that fall from within the ghost banner, an additional evil spirit will rise within it.
After about several hours, the demon banner stopped wailing, and Tian Yuan finally opened his eyes.
He looked at the Second Rank Low Grade demon banner floating in front of him, a hint of regret in his eyes.
"It's still too difficult to build up Qi Training Stage evil spirit by relying on the souls of mortals as nourishment and refining it from the souls of a hundred Qi Refining cultivators to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm."
"It will probably take at least three to five years to refine a Foundation Establishment Realm evil spirit."
"Three to five years from now, once the Demon Beast Uprising is over, the several Foundation Establishment Family of Huai River and Ice Dragon counties that I provoked in order to refine the Blood Origin Pill will surely search for my whereabouts extensively."
"Under these circumstances, if I still want to stay in Huai River County and Jiao Province, I can only kill Foundation Establishment Cultivator, plunder their souls and put them into this Thousand Ghost Banner to help it reach its full potential. Only then will I have the confidence to stand firm in this land."
"Once I have a foothold, I can gradually refine new Foundation Establishment Demons by relying on the remaining tens of thousands of mortal souls."
Tian Yuan did not want to leave Huai River County and the newly established Jiao Province territory. There were currently no other Devil Cultivator in this area, and he could make a name for himself here.
In the rest of the Hundred Spirits Sect's territory, as well as other parts of the Yan Kingdom, there are several deeply rooted Devil Cultivator forces.
Once he enters the territory of those Devil Cultivator cultivators, he will be targeted by them.
With his newly established Foundation Establishment level, he was nothing compared to those veteran Devil Cultivator forces.
Although the Yan Kingdom belongs to the Righteous Path, among the countless cultivators within its borders, more than 80 or 90% are Rogue Cultivator without a master.
Among these Rogue Cultivator, those with good aptitude are better off, as they can seek opportunities to join forces and reach higher realms.
However, unaffiliated Rogue Cultivator with poor aptitude have no chance of Foundation Establishment if they simply cultivate Righteous Path Cultivation Method.
Under such circumstances, Demonic Cultivation Method that allow for rapid advancement in cultivation and offer other pathways to Foundation Establishment naturally become a lifeline for those with poor aptitude, no powerful backers, and who are also Rogue Cultivator cultivators.
Once Devil Cultivator begin to bewitch and entice, eight or nine out of ten Rogue Cultivator, even knowing that the demonic path is a wrong path, will still step into it in search of the Dao Path.
This is why, even within the Righteous Path Yan Kingdom, there are still demonic forces.
Wildfire cannot burn it all; the spring breeze brings it back to life.
After thinking it over, Tian Yuan made up his mind.
"None of the six Foundation Establishment Family in Ice Flood Dragon County have Foundation Establishment Cultivator stationed there now, and the Foundation Establishment Family in Water Source County, which is also in Jiao Province, also have no Foundation Establishment Cultivator stationed there."
"Therefore, the only Lineage in Huai River County with Foundation Establishment Cultivator are easy to target."
He stood up, quickly left the underground cave where he had been in seclusion for several months, identified the direction, and headed towards Huai River County.
