Presenting the Beast Taming Canon

From the area north of the Huai River to the area south of the Huai River, only the Qinling Mountains and the Huai River separate them, but the differences in the scenery between the north and south are enormous.

A cold wind howls in northern Huaihe River basins, while southern Huaihe River basins are bathed in the bright sunshine of spring.

With such vastly different climates, traversing this region that drives climate change is no easy feat.

Even though Huaibei and Huainan are on the border, it still took the group of riders four days and nights to reach Shouchun City.

Everyone was exhausted and visibly haggard, especially Lei Bei, who had almost drowned, and Jin Chang, whose body was damaged; both of them looked ashen-faced after the long journey.

Zhang Xuezhou and Su Fei, on the other hand, were barely in normal condition.

With Lei Bei's first-class guest elder token, the group entered Shouchun City with great ease and simplicity, and could even ride horses through the streets.

"Should we rest for a day or get right to it?" Lei Bei asked.

"That monk is too fast. Riding a horse isn't much of an advantage for him. We must act quickly," Jin Chang muttered.

"I'll copy down the relevant information about the Beast Taming Sect and then present it as a technique. You copy down what's needed at Wu Chao. Also, we'll need Lei Bei to help us find Zhang Qian, who's come to Shouchun City to search for people!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded in agreement.

He glanced at Su Fang, somewhat regretting that this guy wasn't Rong Tianding or one of the others; otherwise, he could have sent him to find Dong Zhongshu.

Entering the Huainan Wenying Pavilion was no easy feat, and Zhang Xuezhou, having already mastered the Tomb Classic, naturally didn't want to waste this opportunity.

But as Jin Chang said, Brother Tathagata would arrive very quickly, and they could not afford to delay.

Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Only Dong Zhongshu knew the materials that needed to be viewed, while Zhang Xuezhou could only randomly select some content to watch, and Dong Zhongshu could not say whether it was suitable.

"No problem!"

"Can!"

Jin Chang and Lei Bei nodded in agreement.

"And what about me? And what about me?" Su Fei asked.

"You'll accompany me to the King of Huainan's Household to present the offering later, which will also serve as proof!" Zhang Xuezhou said.

"Good!"

Su Fei nodded repeatedly in agreement.

His biggest fear was that he would be useless.

Seeing the purple token Lei Bei and seeing Lei Bei leading the crowd through the streets, Su Fei knew very well the power of someone like Lei Bei.

That's privilege.

Shouchun City is the capital of Huainan Kingdom. Lei Bei's ability to ride freely in Shouchun City means that Lei Bei's authority extends to almost every part of Huainan region, which is a level of influence that only top-level guest ministers possess.

With just a little protection from the other party, he would be very secure, and might even use this opportunity to enter the power center of the King of Huainan's Household, thus gaining a powerful backer like the King of Huainan.

"No more being a stray dog!"

Whether Su Fei admits it or not, the Beast Taming Sect has been destroyed.

He could not possibly return to the Beast Taming Sect in glory, nor could he possibly plot a comeback like his father, Su Fang.

Su Fei was even less likely to seek refuge with the government that had destroyed the Beast Taming Sect. Consequently, Su Fei had few options, and the forces he could rely on were also few.

Fortunately, the King of Huainan's Household did not mind the background of guest advisors, even if they were wanted by the imperial court. As long as they sincerely pledged allegiance, the King of Huainan's Household would take care of everything.

Ordinary people who seek refuge often face suppression and have to compete with many others for resources, but having someone to rely on makes all the difference, especially when it comes to the reliance on a top-tier retainer like Lei Bei.

After Su Fei figured it out, he felt much more at ease.

He rode his horse behind the group, and after a quarter of an hour they entered a small courtyard.

The Beast Taming Manual

Lei Bei summoned by a servant of the Prince's mansion to buy bamboo slips, and he personally went out to ask for help in finding Zhang Qian.

Zhang Qian would inevitably seek official assistance in his search for convenience. As long as Lei Bei inquires about the official system of Shouchun City, he will surely be able to find Zhang Qian's whereabouts.

For a moment, the three of them were busy with their own things, and Su Fei was watching Zhang Xuezhou copy the "Beast Taming Manual".

"Why are there such people in the world!"

The "Beast Taming Manual" is not very long, only about 10,000 words.

But this was something Su Fei had memorized time and time again, only to forget it each time.

His situation is very common. In fact, Su Fei is considered to have an extremely good memory. If an ordinary person can only memorize a few hundred words, there may be some oversights. Even those with a slightly better memory can only memorize one or two thousand words. Memorizing three to five thousand words is enough to stump ninety percent of the people in the world.

But Zhang Xuezhou recited the complete text.

Moreover, the other party only borrowed the inheritance jade to look at it once.

"It's not just you who's envious!"

Hearing Su Fei's quiet gasp, Jin Chang couldn't help but let out a low groan.

There are some unreasonable people in the world.

Just as the Buddha's physical body was incredibly powerful, so too was Zhang Xuezhou's terrifying memory.

No amount of reading ten lines at a glance, no photographic memory, or memorizing three hundred ancient poems can compare to the other person reading it once.

He was also an arrogant person, but Jin Chang knew that everyone had different strengths and was also very clear about the gap between himself and Zhang Xuezhou.

If Zhang Xuezhou hadn't possessed exceptional memory, Jin Chang would never have been willing to let him take his place in the Wenying Pavilion's Jiazi Room.

This is King of Huainan's Household Beast Taming Sect's doctrine, which is hard to fault, and with Su Fei, the young sect leader, as a witness, and Lei Bei's strong support at the time, things won't be too difficult, so there's a high probability that they'll be admitted to the top-tier room.

Let's go!

Zhang Xuezhou wrote extremely quickly; Jin Chang had barely written two thousand characters when Zhang Xuezhou had already finished.

The characters on the bamboo slips were extremely neat, with each character being almost exactly the same size; even Su Fei couldn't find fault with a single one.

A typical bamboo scroll contains twenty bamboo slips, while a medium-sized scroll contains forty. Larger scrolls, such as those used by Zhang Xuezhou and others, contain one hundred bamboo slips.

The total weight of the five large rolls is nearly fifty pounds.

Zhang Xuezhou tied the bamboo slips with a rope, then waved to Su Fei, looked at Lei Bei was constantly adjusting his breathing after returning from his business, and winked at Zhang Qian, who had been invited and looked somewhat surprised.

"Tian Jiu, the top swordsmanship guest, has always disliked me. He's afraid I'll threaten his position, so he's likely to oppose me. You guys should be careful to avoid him finding fault with you," Lei Bei.

"Knew!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

There are conflicts and rivalries everywhere.

Competition for the position of guest advisor in the King of Huainan's Household has always existed.

For cultivators, competition is something they can resolve by taking action rather than talking, but Tian Jiu is an exception.

Tianjiu would definitely strike a blow that could defeat him without hesitation, but against opponents who were difficult to handle, he would only rely on verbal attacks.

Lei Bei in the King of Huainan's Household for over a year, and Tian Jiu has yet to dare to draw his sword against him. However, he has been causing trouble for Lei Bei in various matters, big and small, and Lei Bei a headache just looking at Tian Jiu's old face.

If Lei Bei defeat Tian Jiu, that would be one thing; he could even dethrone the old man from his position as the First Guest Elder. This old man rarely acts so aggressively. But Lei Bei is truly no match for him, even now that he has entered the Divine Ability Realm with the help of the King of Huainan's Household and Jin Chang and others. Lei Bei might be able to injure Tian Jiu, but he himself would surely die.

His current actions will obviously encounter trouble.

Lei Bei undoubtedly regard the Beast Taming Manual presented by Zhang Xuezhou and others as a top-tier technique, but Tian Jiu would certainly vote against it.

There is a high possibility that some minor disputes may arise during the presentation, which Zhang Xuezhou needs to handle calmly to avoid the Beast Taming Manual being difficult to classify as Grade A, thus losing the right to enter the Grade A room of Wenying Pavilion.

After some instructions and communication, everyone followed Lei Bei.
