Light-Dark Empire, Beast Taming Cultivation Method (Part 2)
If it weren't for the fact that the special version of the Body Strengthening Potion is still Body Strengthening Potion after all, and that it requires a healer (a water and light magician) to take it in order to achieve the effect of rapidly increasing strength, the military power of the Three Kingdoms would have soared to who knows how high.
After establishing a stable supply of cultivation materials, Fengyun, in order to maximize the advantages of his magical beasts, developed a cultivation method of beast taming based on the contractual relationship between humans and magical beasts.
However, because the core of this cultivation method is the Magic Core of a magical beast and the contract magic array, most of the advantages of cultivation are concentrated on the magical beast, while humans receive fewer benefits.
To cultivate faster, one must contract with multiple magical beasts, creating a situation where one person has multiple beasts. This is the origin of the name "Beast Taming Cultivation Method".
However, this increases the cost of maintaining the monsters.
Moreover, because the special magic array signed by the Beast Taming Cultivation Method has a two-way effect, it is not a complete enslavement of magical beasts by human cultivators.
Therefore, if human contractors are stingy with the money needed to support magical beasts, the magical beasts may voluntarily break the contract, making all the human contractors' investments go down the drain.
Therefore, over time, knowledge about the selection of monsters by contractors, training methods, and the maintenance of the relationship between humans and monsters has even shown a tendency to form a discipline.
Fengyun is trying to do now is to better balance the strength of humans and monsters, to achieve true mutual assistance and growth between humans and monsters, and to allow humans to reach the point where they only need to contract one monster.
"Sigh, in the end, it all comes down to the weight of one's soul."
"Compared to a normal Master-Servant Contract, I referenced the principle of monsters actively Equal Contract, so that when humans and monsters form a contract, not only will the human separate a wisp of soul energy to enter the monster's sea of consciousness, but the monster will also separate a wisp of soul energy to enter the human's sea of consciousness, thus achieving mutual binding."
"It protects the rights and interests of both parties, allowing either party to terminate the contract at any time. At the same time, it also causes a special change in the souls of both parties, enabling them to influence each other."
"But this is a stable version of the Beast Taming Magic Array that I created with great difficulty by referencing the magic circle on the Light-Shadow Orb."
"If adjusting the weight of the souls of both parties causes instability, that's a minor issue. But if we accidentally repeat the tragedy that happened when we first started creating the experiment, causing a large number of deaths and injuries among the experimental personnel, I would feel terrible about it."
"Now is not the time when the Chaos Territory is still unstable, and there aren't that many death row inmates for me to use as test subjects."
"Moreover, although the current magic array is not very friendly to human cultivators, its stable Bloodline Erosion side effect is very good. If it is changed away, it will be a loss."
"Forget it, let's not make any adjustments for now. Let's wait a few more years and see if the first batch of Light-Shadow Guard with the right Bloodline Erosion level can complete the Bloodline Transplantation 100% after taking the Bloodline Potion!"
The emergence of the Beast Taming profession was somewhat of an accident. When Fengyun improved the Contract Magic Array, he only intended to balance the relationship between magical beasts and humans in the Chaos Territory.
But no one expected that a new profession like Beast Tamer would be created, and even more unexpectedly, the new version of the Contract Magic Circle he created would cause soul effects and a stable Bloodline Erosion phenomenon.
This phenomenon not only improved the aptitude of human cultivators, but Fengyun's calculations further revealed that after being Bloodline Erosion of a corresponding magical beast, and taking the corresponding magical beast Bloodline Potion, the success rate of Bloodline Transplantation was directly elevated from a gamble to a guaranteed 10% success rate, regardless of strength.
Moreover, as the degree of Bloodline Erosion deepens, the success rate of bloodline transplantation continues to increase.
Since he discovered this situation, the first batch of Light-Shadow Guard using the new version of the Contract Magic Circle have had their bloodline transplant success rate increased to a minimum of 20%.
The success rate and duration of Bloodline Transplantation are positively correlated!
He predicts that in a few years, without considering other objective factors, the success rate of bloodline transplantation will likely reach 100%.
Of course, these are currently only for ordinary magical beasts. The sample size of Saint Beast is too small, and Fengyun cannot obtain accurate experimental data. There are not even a single experimental subject for divine beasts.
"Once we have obtained specific test data for ordinary monsters in a few years, we can consider going to Beirut to try to obtain resources for further experiments."
Thinking of this, Fengyun shook his head slightly and thought to himself, "I once thought of making achievements through Bloodline Studies and seeing if I could get on Beirut's good side, but the only achievement useful for magical beast bloodlines, the Blood Pool, is only so-so and not worth Beirut's attention at all."
"But now that I have the Light-Shadow Orb and can strengthen myself, I've created this kind of thing during my free time while comprehending the laws."
"If the results of the Shadow Rat and Stone-Eating Rat's Light-Shadow Guard Contractors are as successful as I expect, then we can use a large number of bloodline warriors who have successfully Bloodline Transplantation to conduct a large number of experiments to gradually dissect the mysteries of the God-Devouring Rat bloodline."
"I'll make a special trip to Beirut after a while. Although I haven't achieved anything yet, Beirut will definitely be interested in my next experimental project."
"If I could get the support of this big shot, even the smallest thing he slips through his fingers would be enough to feed me to the brim. Isn't that much better than my approach of gradually increasing the overall strength of my people to gain more Power of Faith?"
"Even a single Soul Gold Bead or two is far more powerful than all the Power of Faith I've collected so far!"
"Sigh~, science and technology really are the primary productive forces!"
As he pondered, Fengyun gradually lost interest in continuing his comprehension.
After leaving the Plane Secret Chamber and letting his parents and Huihui know he was safe, the Divine Artifact Clone merged with his main body and flew directly towards the Dark Forest.
He didn't want to wait for further results any longer; he planned to go see Beirut right now.
After flying to the metallic life form's abode in the Dark Forest of Beirut, Fengyun landed and stood still, respectfully addressing the two humanoid guards at the gate. "Junior Fengyun Zi'ao has come to pay his respects to Lord Beirut."
Upon hearing this, the humanoid guard at the gate pressed his large hand on the castle-shaped Metal Life, and a large gate appeared and opened. After gesturing for Fengyun to enter, he remained still.
Fengyun had initially thought these two guards were Beirut's regular guards, but now it seemed they were more like Death God Puppet, otherwise they wouldn't have opened the gate without any report.
As soon as Fengyun Yun entered, before he could even take a good look around the Metal Castle, Harvey appeared beside him and asked, "Weren't you busy with some kind of strongest Beastmaster Competition lately, trying to rank the strongest beast tamers?"
"What brings you here to visit my father all of a sudden?"
