Chapter 11: Spirit Beasts
After thinking of this, Fang Tong began to carefully look at the girl beside him.
From the bottom to the top, there is a pair of plain white cloth shoes on his feet.
The girl is not dressed in any fashion, and she is dressed in an elegant dress, although it does not look as simple as the 'plain' of the same outfit, but it is also very simple to wear.
The long hair is dark and beautiful, and there doesn't seem to be makeup on the face, but it can be seen that it has been carefully taken care of.
The girl's belongings were only a small backpack, which was now also on the luggage rack.
As for the book that the girl had been holding in her hand, it was just an ordinary book.
If there is anything special about the girl, it is probably only the delicate 'hairpin' on her head.
This hairpin, which seems ordinary to outsiders, exudes a simple aura in Fang Tong's eyes!
This aura was not generated by the girl herself, no matter how good her talent was, she would not have a trace of aura on her body before she cultivated.
Fang Tong mobilized his blood, and a trace of blood began to appear in his eyes, and when he looked at the hairpin on the girl's head again, there was something more!
I saw a small black worm lying on the hairpin, motionless under Fang Tong's gaze.
Obviously, this little worm is the source of that trace of aura, and it is also the reason why the old lady is jealous.
The shape of this little insect is different from any other known insect today, and if I had to compare, it can be said to be similar to that of a praying mantis, except that its forelimbs are not sickle-shaped, but have two spikes!
Although this little insect had a peculiar appearance, Fang Tong still recognized it, this little insect was a spirit beast [Tongyu]!
In the history of mankind, no matter which country, in its history or mythological stories, there have been all kinds of rare beasts, flying away, moving mountains and reclaiming the sea, all kinds of wonderful abilities make people full of yearning.
Looking at the detailed descriptions, one can't help but wonder, do they really exist?
If so, why did they disappear with such magical abilities, and where are they now?
If it is fake, then where do those detailed descriptions of abilities, appearances, and appearances come from?
Most ordinary people don't care about these problems, because whether these things exist or not, they don't have much to do with them, as long as they don't affect their lives.
Even if there are some existences, the upper echelons will deliberately downplay their existence.
But in fact, such exotic beasts do still exist now.
They are hidden in all parts of the world, deep in the mountains, or on islands, in short, in rare places, far from human life.
Despite their wonderful abilities, they still choose to avoid humans, and they are known as spirit animals.
Spirit beasts are born and raised, and people believe that the first generation of spirit beasts were born from nature, because the vast majority of spirit beasts have the ability to transform into spirit bodies.
Spirit beasts in the spirit body state are invisible to ordinary people, and this state does not affect the spirit beast's ability to use itself.
Ordinary people can't see it, which means that some people who are not ordinary people can see spirit beasts in the spirit state of the spirit.
These people are the so-called spirit masters, and the spirit masters can communicate with the aura of the heavens and the earth, and do some things beyond ordinary people.
And more importantly, they have the ability to manipulate spirit beasts!
This is the origin of the title spirit master, and why spirit beasts that obviously have abilities beyond ordinary people choose to stay away from humans.
Just like taming wolves and eagles, humans always want to take everything into their own hands, and ordinary animals have long been unable to satisfy their thirst for power.
So they set their sights on spirit beasts with special abilities.
Capture, then domesticate, gain ability, and then capture stronger spirit beasts, some people will regard spirit beasts as relatives and partners, while others only treat spirit beasts as tools.
No one knows how the original spirit master appeared, only that the conditions for becoming a spirit master are extremely harsh.
In addition to the difficulty of becoming a spirit master itself, it is also very difficult for a spirit master to get a spirit beast of his own.
After all, a spirit beast is a spirit animal, and if it was really so easy to tame, it would have been one in everyone's hands a long time ago.
Most of the current spirit masters tend to only concentrate on cultivating a spirit beast as their natal spirit animal.
In addition, if there are enough resources and energy, at most one more second-level spirit beast will be cultivated.
After the spirit master tames the spirit beast, the relationship between the spirit beast and the spirit master becomes symbiotic, and the spirit animal will exist in the spirit master's body in the state of the spirit body.
The spirit master provides for the spirit animal, and the spirit animal obeys the command of the spirit master.
This allows the spirit master to also have the ability of the spirit beast, and while gaining power, the spirit beast and the spirit master will also influence each other.
With the use of ability, the consciousness of the spirit animal will subtly affect the thinking of the spirit master, and human nature will gradually become animal nature.
This is not just a simple matter of emotions becoming manic, but at the same time, losing humanity also means losing reason, leaving only pure desire to dominate.
The greater the number of spirit beasts a spirit master has, the faster this effect will be, and before that, no one knows how to eliminate this effect.
The only way to slow it down is to tame the spirit beast as little as possible.
This is also the reason why most spirit masters only have one or two spirit beasts, not because they can't be tamed, but because they can't afford to raise them!
The first realm of stepping into the spirit master is also called 'condensing', which is to combine one's spirit with aura and fuse to form a spirit bead, and this small ball is the foundation of the spirit beast to control the spirit beast.
The true size of some spirit beasts is extremely large, but as long as they are transformed into the state of a spirit body, they can be put into their spirit beads by the spirit master.
This is not only to carry around, but also will not affect the cultivation of the spirit beast itself.
The spirit beasts that are subdued by the spirit master will have the spirit master's mark on their bodies, and the form of this mark is like a chain, wrapped around the spirit beast's body.
As long as the spirit beast does not obey his orders, the spirit master can control the mark to punish the spirit beast!
Of course, punishing spirit beasts at will can only be done when concentrating on the realm, and when the spirit master enters the next realm 'natal nature', the spirit beast is not just a tool.
The spirit master of the Condensing Bead Realm controls the spirit master, and it is just to give orders and the spirit beast to carry it out, while the spirit master of the natal realm can form a relationship with the spirit beast in the same life but not death!
The so-called co-birth is not the sharing of harm, but the sharing of life!
Even if the spirit master surpasses ordinary people, after all, he starts cultivating from ordinary people, although it is said that the realm improvement can increase some of the lifespan, but compared to the innate long-lived spirit beasts, it is still an insignificant length.
What's more, not every spirit master has the talent to elevate their realm to the next stage before their lifespan is at the end of their life.
And while sharing the lifespan with the spirit animal, it also means that the spirit beast at this time represents its own lifespan!
Once the spirit beast dies, although the spirit master will not die at the same time, there will no longer be a spirit beast to share the lifespan, and the spirit master at this time, unless he finds a replacement spirit beast in a short time, it will not be long before he dies!
Therefore, the spirit masters of the natal realm will not easily punish their spirit beasts, nor will they let their spirit beasts complete too dangerous orders.
