"Only primordial essence?"
Wang Qingshan paused in surprise.
Then he took several careful looks at Lin Ke, his gaze turning strange.
There was no other reason: Lin Ke seemed to know rather a lot!
Of the Four Arts-music, strategy games, calligraphy, and painting-he had already displayed extraordinary mastery of the last two.
After all, in his very first contest, Lin Ke had used a distinctive calligraphic style: Yan Zhenqing's.
Few people had noticed at the time, however, as they had all been captivated by Lin Ke's poetry.
Beyond the Four Arts, Lin Ke was also accomplished in poetry and the writing of prefaces.
Counting carefully, there were also the Novel Path, the path of dance, and even the path of commerce.
For someone so talented, knowing the Breeding Art was only to be expected.
"Breeding Art is also an important part of Beast Mastery." Seeing how little importance Wang Qingshan attached to it, Lin Ke shook his head, his expression growing more solemn. "The Beast-Taming Path is by no means simply a matter of subduing beasts."
"Oh?" Wang Qingshan's expression changed at those words.
He sensed that what Lin Ke was about to say might be very, very important to him.
"Lin Ke, could you wait a moment?" Wang Qingshan rubbed the ring on his right hand.
Whoosh-
A brush, ink, paper, and inkstone appeared on the ground.
Treasure, treasure, treasure, treasure.
They were all treasures!
"I will record what you say now," Wang Qingshan said solemnly. "Please allow me to write it down. I wish to bear witness to this path."
Having a Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator of the fifth realm regard him with such solemnity made Lin Ke set aside all his other thoughts.
Wang Qingshan was a sect master passionately devoted to the Beast-Taming Path!
