They each took the Heaven's Augury oath, stating that the Beast Seal thod would never be used for selling and would only be researched personally or given to those close to them for use. Lu Ye handed the jade slip to Xia Qianqian and her two companions, allowing them to make imprints from it.
Lu Ye, on the other hand, kept turning the spirit beast sack over and over, studying it closely.
This sack looked similar to a storage sack, both crafted from an unidentified type of beast hide. However, the spirit beast sack in his hands clearly had an ancient heritage, as its surface was already sowhat worn.
Considering what the Great Elder had said earlier, there were only a dozen or so of these artifacts in the entire Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, all handed down from the ancestors, obviously of considerable worth and rarity.
The restriction on the sack had already been wiped clean, and with just a slight impetus of spirit force, Lu Ye refined it. After so investigation, his expression turned surprised.
The sack contained a small, self-contained space. It wasn't too large, but the feeling of the space inside the spirit beast sack was sowhat different from that inside a storage sack.
Spirit beast sack, spirit beast sack, the na alone was enough to guess its purpose.
Holding the spirit beast sack, Lu Ye looked towards Amber, who was resting beside him.
Feeling sothing, Amber raised its head, locking eyes with Lu Ye.
Lu Ye picked up the spirit beast sack and gestured with it. Amber stood up, and only then did Lu Ye stimulate his spirit force and cover it with the sack.
Amber disappeared in an instant.
Sensing around, Amber had indeed been taken into the spirit beast sack, but as it was its first ti entering such a space, Amber seed quite uncomfortable, constantly twisting its body. Additionally, the space inside the sack felt extrely cramped.
As Amber wriggled, the surface of the spirit beast sack even seed to bulge uncertainly.
This spirit beast sack could actually hold living creatures!
Typical storage sacks didn't have this function, as they could only contain lifeless items. Forcing living creatures into them would cause their vitality to dissipate before long.
In Lu Ye's possession, however, there was one item capable of containing living beings—the Nine Worlds map!
This spirit treasure could even contain living people, not to ntion other things. But being essentially a scroll-shaped spirit treasure, it wasn't suitable to carry around at all tis. Moreover, maintaining the operation of the Nine Worlds map also consud spirit force.
It couldn't compare to the convenience of this spirit beast sack. This small bag could be hung on his waist or kept close to his body.
In this way, Amber wouldn't have to always perch on his shoulder.
Not that Amber resting on his shoulder caused any inconvenience, but such a distinctive demon beast like Amber could easily beco a marker of Lu Ye's identity!
Like before on the Spirit Stream battlefield, nearly all cultivators from Ten Thousand Demons Ridge knew that Lu Yiye from the Righteous Blood Sect was accompanied by a White Tiger demon beast. Many who hadn't seen Lu Ye could infer his identity through Amber's presence.
This sotis ant that Lu Ye couldn't conceal his identity even if he wanted to.
But with the spirit beast sack, that wouldn't be a concern anymore. Should he wish to conceal his identity in the future, he rely needed to store Amber in the spirit beast sack and then pick out a Spiritual Artifact from the Heaven's Augury treasure vault to change his appearance—no one would be able to recognize him!
With great interest, he waited a while before releasing Amber from the sack—Amber imdiately lunged at the spirit beast sack in Lu Ye's hand, appearing ready to bite, and Lu Ye quickly restrained it.
He couldn't have this valuable item damaged.
A ssage ca from the battlefield marking, Lu Ye checked, and it was from Yiyi.
With outsiders present, Yiyi couldn't show herself and could only communicate with him in this way.
Through Yiyi's paraphrasing, Lu Ye found out that Amber's experience inside the spirit beast sack hadn't been very pleasant. Not only was it pitch-black inside, but it was indeed cramped. However, the space inside wasn't fixed in size. Amber's current size, similar to that of a small kitten, could fit inside, and even if it reverted to its original form, it could still be accommodated.
Under Amber's reluctant gaze, Lu Ye put the spirit beast sack away close to his body and promised Amber that he wouldn't put it into the sack unless absolutely necessary, which finally settled it down.
The three won had already returned the jade slip and sat down to ditate.
Lu Ye popped a few elixir pills into his mouth, recovering while also investigating the Beast Seal thod.
At first glance, I didn't pay much attention, but as I delved into the study of the Beast Seal thod, Lu Ye's expression gradually grew solemn.
This Beast Seal thod is absolutely sothing that has never appeared in the Nine Provinces cultivation world before, and if this technique were to beco widespread, it would trendously enhance the cultivators of the beast-taming faction!
In the Nine Provinces cultivation world, the beast-taming faction is one of the many smaller factions, but compared to other small factions like the cover armorer faction, the beast-taming faction is quite large, because even soone like Lu Ye, who carries a demon beast with him, can be considered part of the beast-taming faction.
Being adept in taming creatures, the demon beasts that can be subjugated can beco a boost. In the early stages of a cultivator's cultivation, a demon beast can often bring great help, not only assisting in killing enemies but also serving as a mount for travel. Therefore, many cultivators like to have a demon beast by their side when their own strength is still weak and the conditions are suitable.
However, like other small sects, it is difficult for the beast-taming faction to produce strong individuals, because the cultivation of the cultivators in this faction mainly focuses on demon beasts, with themselves as a secondary concern.
They are often keen on capturing and nurturing powerful demon beasts, allowing the demon beasts to fight in their place. A large portion of the cultivation resources obtained is invested in these demon beasts. As a result, they deviate further on the path of cultivation, with little chance for personal growth.
Many of the Nine Provinces' beast-taming faction cultivators command over a dozen or twenty demon beasts.
Lu Ye had encountered a cultivator from the beast-taming faction when he was striving for the Spirit Stream Ranking. That fellow's own strength was nothing remarkable, but the four or five demon beasts he commanded were truly vicious. So, when Lu Ye broke through the blockade of those demon beasts and charged in front of him, his defeat was already dood.
The cultivation of cultivators still has to put humans first—demon beasts can only be considered an external force!
Lu Ye had originally thought that the beast-taming faction in the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain would be the sa until he read this Beast Seal thod and realized he had been wrong.
Every faction has its value and significance. In the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain, the beast-taming faction beca the main body because, although they ta and nurture demon beasts like the Nine Provinces cultivators, they do not put demon beasts first in their cultivation practices—they put humans first!
The beast-taming cultivators of the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain never have a situation where one cultivator has a dozen demon beasts. Most cultivators only have one demon beast, their natal demon beast!
Those few who own multiple demon beasts never exceed three, as having too many under command ans there aren't enough resources and effort to cultivate them all.
The so-called natal demon beast is created by using a Secret Technique to connect one's Life Origin with that of the demon beast, sharing in each other's glory and disgrace!
In this manner, the life of a cultivator is closely linked with that of their natal demon beast—if the cultivator lives, so does the demon beast, and if the cultivator dies, so does the demon beast!
On the flip side, if the natal demon beast were to die in battle, the cultivator as the master wouldn't die, but would suffer so backlash.
After all, this is a Secret Technique researched by cultivators themselves, naturally granting them so preferential treatnt.
Selecting a natal demon beast is best done when the demon beast is newly born. This way, it's more malleable, and their feelings for each other can be cultivated step by step. Only when the cultivator and the demon beast reach a level of mutual devotion willing to sacrifice their lives for one another, can their Life Origins be connected, turning the demon beast into the cultivator's natal demon beast, thereafter forming the Beast Seal!
After the Beast Seal is established, the cultivator can borrow the power of their natal demon beast to a certain extent, enhancing their combat capabilities. If there is sufficient trust and understanding between the two, it's even possible to integrate the natal demon beast into the Beast Seal, thereby greatly increasing power!
From this, it can be seen that whether it's connecting Life Origins or forming the Beast Seal, the cultivators of the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain adhere to the principle of putting humans first, which is completely different from the cultivators of the Nine Provinces' beast-taming faction.
Such a Secret Technique, if it spread to the Nine Provinces, would be enough to overturn the structure of the Nine Provinces beast-taming faction. No cultivator from the beast-taming faction would refuse such a technique, and by utilizing it, the Nine Provinces' beast-taming faction cultivators could leap to beco a main faction, no longer regarded as a heretical path by others.
While Lu Ye was engrossed in the mysteries of this Secret Technique, a whiff of fragrance suddenly assaulted his senses. He turned his head and saw Xia Qianqian had approached, nudging him with her elbow, "Let's discuss this—how about we sell this Secret Technique to Heaven's Augury treasure vault?"
She clearly realized the importance of this Secret Technique as well. Such a ga-changing technique for a faction, if sold to Heaven's Augury treasure vault, would not only bring benefits but, more importantly, could attract the attention of Heaven's Augury. In the future, whatever one does would have divine assistance.
This was the first ti she had encountered such a great opportunity, and she had co across it because of Lu Ye. Naturally, she wanted to discuss it with him. After all, they just took the Heaven's Augury oath. If Lu Ye didn't agree, no one would dare to break the oath lightly.
"How much rit would it be worth?" Lu Ye asked.
Xia Qianqian chuckled, "Don't be so superficial. It's not a matter of rit. If we really sell this thing to Heaven's Augury treasure vault, we would definitely attract the attention of Heaven's Augury—do you understand? With Heaven's Augury paying attention to you, your luck will be even better."
This made Lu Ye's heart stir. His luck had been good lately, most likely due to receiving Heaven's Augury Bestownt, which had greatly boosted his fortune. From this perspective, selling this Secret Technique to Heaven's Augury treasure vault could also accumulate his own fortune, having a similar effect to Heaven's Augury Bestownt. However, it was hard to say which effect was stronger.
Lu Ye guessed that Heaven's Augury Bestownt might be slightly better, after all, that was an honor nobody had received in decades.
"Are you sure?" Lu Ye raised his eyebrows. While his luck was already good enough, nobody would complain about having even better luck.
"Do you know how those small sects in the Nine Provinces cultivation world ca about?" Xia Qianqian didn't wait for an answer but started explaining herself, "They all spread from one secret realm after another. In secret realms like the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain, those sects are the main factions, and the majority of the world's cultivators belong to that faction, just like the beast-taming faction here. The cultivators from the Nine Provinces undergo trials within these realms and then bring so of their knowledge back out, leading to the formation of various small sects in the Nine Provinces."
