Chapter Seventy-Eight: Books Are Not Borrowed

"You're really a weasel eating swan eggs, it's beautiful to think about! The public area on the first floor is full of popular materials, such as the "Herborist Collection" and "Illustrated Guide to Common Fierce Beasts" I gave you earlier, if you want to read confidential information or magic cheats, you have to go to the second floor to find the management elder to redeem. Zhao Tong raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.

"Redeem? It's worth a lot of contributions, right? Yuan Ming asked.

"It depends on the specific situation, and according to the different values of the data, the contribution points required for redemption are also different. Generally, the magic cheats of the Qi refining period require about ten contribution points, while the secret techniques of the foundation building period usually require more than three hundred contribution points. In addition, the borrowing time shall not exceed three hours at a time. Zhao Tong continued.

"Three hours ......," Yuan Ming muttered.

"It's usually hard for someone to memorize a spell cheat in three hours, so you need to spend extra contribution points to redeem rubbings. Generally, the cheats rubbing in the Qi refining period requires 100 contribution points, while the cheats rubbing in the foundation building period requires 1,000 contribution points. It's a big problem for others, but it's nothing for you. Zhao Tong looked at Yuan Ming deeply a few times and said.

He remembered Yuan Ming's ability to never forget it very deeply, and he was envious.

If he has such ability, why does he need to spend extra money again and again to buy these twists and turns of emotional biographies and rubbings of strange novels?

"Is there only a spell cheat on the second floor? But what cultivation methods are there? Yuan Ming nodded thoughtfully and asked again.

"Cultivation exercises are the foundation of a sect, and as far as I know, there are not many stocks in the sect, and the number of options is extremely rare, and the price is surprisingly expensive. Everyone generally chooses to practice the sect's own orthodox exercise, Biluo Gong, and will not spend a lot of money to exchange it for others. Well...... By the beginning of next month, the rubbings of Bi Luo Gong should be distributed along with your contribution points, and you will be able to get them by then. Zhao Tong said.

Hearing his words, Yuan Ming finally figured out the rules of the Guizang Pavilion, and couldn't help but groan.

"Okay, I said I'd figure it out. If you don't have any contribution points on you for the time being, I can lend you five contribution points. Zhao Tong looked at Yuan Ming, his eyes rolled slightly, and he said with a smile.

"What about the conditions?" Yuan Ming was not surprised, and asked.

"It's very good, isn't it...... Calculate the interest, how about repaying me at seven o'clock at the beginning of next month? Zhao Tong rubbed his hands and said with a smile.

"It's okay, it's not too dark, it's okay." Yuan Ming nodded.

Zhao Tong immediately asked for Yuan Ming's waist card, and knocked it together with himself, and after the light flashed on it, he handed the waist card back.

"Let's see." Zhao Tong said.

"What do you think?" Yuan Ming said a little embarrassed when he heard this.

He has always been in a semi-free-range state on the side of the Fire Refining Hall, and those guys who only know about refining embryos have no time to care about other things, so no one has told him how to use the waist card at all.

Although he had seen Legon operate once before, he was driven down the mountain before he could ask questions.

"You're a ...... Forget it, I'm a good person to the end. Hold the waist card in your hand, immerse your mind, and focus your attention on the waist card a little. Zhao Tong was a little speechless, but he still patiently explained.

Yuan Ming did as he was told, and as soon as his mind focused on the waist card, he felt some text messages coming from inside, recording his name and the mark of the Fire Refining Hall to which he belonged, as well as the newly added five contribution points.

"How's it going, do you feel it?" Zhao Tong's voice sounded.

Yuan Ming nodded.

"In the future, when you need to trade contribution points, you can also contact through the waist card, and your mind can be controlled."

"Hehe, as the saying goes, you can't read a book unless you borrow it. Using borrowed contribution points to borrow can also spur you on! Speaking of which, senior brother is also good for you. Zhao Tong said with a smile.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhao, I will return it as promised at the beginning of next month." Yuan Ming sincerely thanked him and said.

The other party can rely on the little friendship he had in Toad Valley to trust him and borrow him to contribute points, which is an extremely rare thing in a sect like Biluo Cave.

After that, the two chatted for a while, and after saying the location of their respective residences, they waved goodbye.

When Yuan Ming came to the Guizang Pavilion, he found that it had already passed the time and the Guizang Pavilion had been closed, so he could only give up and think about coming back the next day.

By the time he returned to the Tempering Hall's residence again, it was already midnight.

The sky was covered with clouds, obscuring the moonlight.

Yuan Ming came to the side of the bed and sat down, and instead of continuing to practice the "Dark Moon Formula", he began to cultivate the "Nine Yuan Formula".

Compared to the slow progress of the Dark Moon Technique, the Nine Yuan Technique was steadily increasing, which was also something he was quite pleased with.

However, Yuan Ming also vaguely found that he didn't know if it was because he had been promoted to the fifth level of qi refining, and the cultivation progress of the Nine Yuan Jue seemed to have slowed down a little recently.

If this is the case, I am afraid that the further you go in the cultivation, the more difficult it will become.

……

After a night of cultivation, Yuan Ming was refreshed and not tired at all, and went to the fire workshop to refine the embryo a little earlier than before.

Fang Ge, who was also accustomed to coming to the fire workshop an hour earlier, looked at Yuan Ming's hammer-wielding figure from a distance, with a rare smile on his serious face, and nodded secretly.

He still agrees with Yuan Ming's perseverance, and today's new disciples are more or less impetuous, and they can't settle down, which makes him feel a headache.

But when he saw that Yuan Ming was running out of strength every time he was more than three hundred hammers, he interrupted, and couldn't help sighing, shook his head and left.

Although the spirit of repeated failures and trials is worth advocating, it cannot always be like this.

Yuan Ming naturally didn't notice Senior Brother Fangge's good intentions, his mind was not here now.

At the beginning of the day, when he had completed today's tempering, he left the Fire Refining Hall directly and went straight to the Guizang Pavilion in a hurry.

Yuan Ming registered at the door, and after paying a little contribution value, he walked into the Guizang Pavilion.

As soon as he stepped into the hall on the first floor, he saw a wooden spiral staircase in black and red more than ten zhang away in front of him, leading up to the second-floor hall.

Centered on the staircase, surrounded by circles of dark red, semi-circular tables and benches, in which many disciples of various halls sat scattered, all quietly reading.

Yuan Ming's eyes swept over, leaving a circular passage in the outer circle of the table and chair, and the place against the wall outside the passage was a circle of bookshelves covering the entire wall, which were densely stuffed with books.

He walked to the bookshelf on the right-hand side and looked up, and saw that at intervals on it, there was a wooden plaque hanging on it, on which were marked such categories as "Hundred Herbs", "Miscellaneous Notes", "Strange Stories", "Strange Winds", "Geographical Chronicles", "Notes and Novels", and so on.

Yuan Ming walked along the passage, checked at the same time, and finally found the "Spirit Animal Breeding Basic Manual" under the category of "Hundred Beasts", and immediately took it off the shelf.

He sat down in a quiet place, opened the book, and began to read.

Yuan Ming didn't read the book fast, but his expression was extremely focused, his eyes were fixed on the pages, and his fingers turned every fifteen breaths, very regularly.

When he had finished the last page, he closed the book and began to close his eyes and think about it.

The process was extremely fast, but in a matter of minutes, he went through everything.

It turns out that a qualified beast master not only needs to be good at capturing and domesticating spirit animals, but also proficient in breeding and raising spirit animals.

According to the book, most of the spirit animals only have a few of the first generation that are only captured and domesticated, and the second and third generations are often bred through breeding.

Because these offspring have been cultivated since childhood, they are more humane and easier to domesticate, but the shortcomings are also obvious, lack of wildness, and the overall quality is weak.

After all, the more generations of spirit beasts breeded, the thinner the bloodline of the first generation, the more lacking wildness, and the combat effectiveness is far inferior to the capture of the domesticated first generation, so the general spirit beasts have been artificially bred for three generations, and at most after four generations, they must cut off the bloodline and recapture and domesticate.

But if you can directly capture a juvenile spirit beast with pure blood, it is naturally the best object for domestication and cultivation, which can take into account human nature and strength, and it is often easier to awaken some talents when you become an adult.

It's just that this kind of young beast is very rare, and it is impossible to meet it, and the fire gluttonous child of the Three Cave Masters should be of this kind, no wonder it will be very cherished.

The content of the "Basic Manual of Spirit Animal Breeding" in Yuan Ming's hand mainly focuses on the posture development and animal nature cultivation of spirit animals in early childhood.

The biggest requirement is to maintain a balance, that is, to ensure that the wildness and affinity of the spirit beast are within a reasonable range, neither too close to the human race and lack of aggression, but also not so wild and untamable that it attacks the owner.

In the book, according to the different types of spirit animals, they are divided into attributes, and the general dietary rules of the major attribute spirit animals are delineated.

This division is actually somewhat similar to the division of spiritual power attributes of human monks, but spirit beasts are often relatively pure because of their bloodline, and generally only have a single attribute.

For example, most green wolves are wind attributes, good at speed, and their attacks are mainly wind blades, while black bears are mostly metallic and good at armor piercing, and their attacks are mainly scratches and tears.

Fire Gluttony is obviously a fire attribute, but I think there should be something else special.

After Yuan Ming finished reading the "Basic Handbook of Spirit Animal Breeding", he got up and returned the book, selected a few related books from the bookshelf, and began to flip through them page by page.

After about two hours, he had finished reading a small half of the books on the bookshelf about spirit animals.

After discovering that the repetitive content in the next few books had reached three or four out of ten, Yuan Ming didn't plan to continue reading other books, and the content that he could see without spending money was almost that.

However, with his unforgettable talent, through these mixed records combined with his fairly good understanding of beast control, he has a relatively comprehensive understanding of the way of beast control and the situation of spirit beasts, which is enough for him now.
