Chapter 83: Blinded by the Effects of the Beast Taming Technique
After storing all the freshly harvested Spirit Rice into the granary, Su Bai only had the Spirit Medicine Field to take care of.
However, with the Spiritual Vein present, it was generally fine to let them grow on their own without much intervention.
Perhaps Shen Fang had said something after returning.
In any case, Lü Hong always wanted to do something to help Su Bai when she was with her.
But she knew very little, after all.
So Su Bai just let her play by herself on the side, as long as she didn't cause trouble.
She also didn't drive the other party away.
Many things were happening in the outside world now, and Su Bai couldn't leave, so information flow was mainly understood through Lü Hong.
At this moment, Su Bai was standing in her own Medicine Garden.
Feeling the sparse essence of plants and trees around her, and the slowly circulating Medicine King Canon within her body.
“The cultivation restrictions of this Medicine King Canon are quite significant.”
Because she helped Shen Fang, all the first-order Spirit Medicine in this Medicine Garden had been harvested.
This led to a sharp decrease in the essence of plants and trees, directly affecting the speed of Su Bai's Medicine King Canon cultivation.
If it weren't for a few second-order Spirit Medicine still remaining,
this Cultivation Technique would probably have stagnated.
Then wouldn't she have failed in her Cultivation!
“It seems I still considered things too one-sidedly.”
In Su Bai's opinion, at her current Qi Refinement Stage, she should naturally look for allies of the same Realm.
Even if something unexpected happened, she wouldn't be constrained.
Because of the Earthly Spiritual Root Spirit Beast in Lü Hong's possession, Su Bai believed it was better to get closer to the Lü family.
She didn't expect that this momentary impulse to help almost ruined her good fortune.
Fortunately, it wasn't too late to mend the situation.
There were still two-tier Spirit Medicine to rely on.
Once she slowly replanted the Spirit Medicine in the Medicine Garden, the cultivation of the Medicine King Canon could return to its former state.
As Su Bai was pondering whether to replant some of the Spirit Medicine she had kept in her Storage Pouch for Alchemy.
Splash~
She heard the sound of water.
Then came Lü Hong's joyful laughter.
Su Bai turned her head to look.
She saw Lü Hong playing in the pond next to the Spirit Field.
She was completely bathed in the sunlight.
Cupping clear water and splashing it.
Her brilliant smile and half-wet clothes.
Made a phrase flash through Su Bai's mind: a lotus emerging from water.
Then she turned her head back, facing away from Lü Hong.
And softly said,
“How old are you, no shame!”
At this moment, Su Bai quickly shook off the glimpse of smooth white skin she had just seen in her mind.
This Lü Hong was too playful.
She needed to be disciplined more in the future.
Here, at least the basic rules had to be followed.
Lü Hong looked at Su Bai standing in the Medicine Garden.
She stretched out her arm, waving it continuously in the air.
“Su Yi, the water here is so comfortable, is it specially drawn from underground water?”
Hearing Lü Hong's words, Su Bai glanced sideways at Lü Hong.
She saw a smooth, delicate, and snow-white arm swaying in the air.
The sleeve, being wet, clung tightly to her arm, revealing her elbow.
Seeing this scene,
Su Bai's expression instantly turned serious.
She beckoned to Lü Hong.
The young girl, seeing Su Bai's gesture and expression, didn't understand what was happening.
She strangely left the pond, not even wearing shoes.
She just pattered over to Su Bai with her bare little feet.
“Su Yi, is something wrong?”
Su Bai, with a serious expression, pointed to a room in her pavilion.
“There are some Spirit Medicine I prepared earlier; dry yourself off and bring all the herbs out to sun-dry.”
After hearing Su Bai's words, Lü Hong nodded.
With just a flick of her sleeve, all the water on her body dried up.
Then she magically retrieved her shoes from the side of the pond.
After putting on her shoes, she walked towards the room Su Bai had just pointed to.
Looking at Lü Hong's back, Su Bai touched her own face.
She always felt that Lü Hong didn't have much sense of boundaries.
Perhaps it was because she had grown up by her side since childhood, but she hadn't shown the dignity of an elder?
She didn't continue to think about it.
She only asked Lü Hong to dry the herbs to give her something to do.
Otherwise, Lü Hong might truly treat this place as her own home.
For the next three years,
Lü Hong spent half of her time here with Su Bai.
Her work in the Lü family was shared by her younger siblings, so she was quite free and would come to Su Bai's place when she wasn't busy.
She helped Su Bai take care of the Spirit Field and Medicine Garden.
Su Bai naturally also taught Lü Hong how to be a qualified Spiritual Farmer and medicine farmer.
She learned very quickly.
And after finishing the tasks she was given, she would tell Su Bai what was happening in the outside world.
“My parents aren't home recently; it seems the matters concerning the market have been settled.”
“The market will open in two years.”
Lü Hong held a Spirit Medicine in her hand, using a Spell to remove the soil from its roots.
She spoke of her parents' recent whereabouts.
Because Lu Ning and Shen Fang had left,
the heavy burden of the Lü family had largely fallen on her elder brother, Lu Quan.
“My elder brother is planning to break through to the Qi Refining Stage – Late Phase soon, that's really great, I envy my elder brother's Aptitude so much.”
Lü Hong thought about how she was still at Qi Refinement Stage – Fourth Layer.
She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Su Bai kept her hands tucked into her sleeves.
Looking at the bamboo basket at Lü Hong's waist.
“Your Spiritual Silkworm is about to advance, right? Have you tried the Taming Beast Art I taught you?”
Lü Hong shook her head.
For most of these three years, the Spiritual Silkworm had been in a state of slumber.
To prevent any accidents with the Spiritual Silkworm, Lü Hong had not interfered with it in any way, apart from daily care.
Seeing Lü Hong shake her head,
Su Bai directly told her:
“The Dao of Taming Beasts naturally has its own path; you should try the Taming Beast Art tonight.”
“It can not only help the Spiritual Silkworm advance quickly but also benefit your cultivation.”
After Su Bai finished speaking, she reached out, took the Spirit Medicine from Lü Hong's hand, and walked towards her Alchemy room.
Lü Hong looked at Su Bai's back, a thoughtful expression on her face.
Since Lü Hong kept running over to Su Bai's side,
besides having her help with some chores, Su Bai naturally also wanted to see the effects of the Taming Beast Art in advance.
With Lü Hong's experience in raising Spiritual Silkworms, if Su Bai ever found a suitable Spirit Beast in the future, she could avoid many detours when raising it herself.
Lü Hong also had her own room here at Su Bai's place.
When Su Bai built the pavilion, she made it very large.
It was easy to clear out a spare room.
That night, while Su Bai was Cultivating, she felt movement from Lü Hong's side.
Her Divine Sense extended to Lü Hong's room.
She saw Lü Hong sitting in meditation on the bed, her hands clasped together, holding the Spiritual Silkworm in her palm.
The two were connected as one as the Cultivation Technique circulated.
Spiritual Energy surrounded Lü Hong and the Spiritual Silkworm.
Seeing this, Su Bai's face showed a thoughtful expression.
“This feeling is somewhat similar to Dual Cultivation Cultivation Techniques.”
Although she had never Cultivated it, Su Bai had only occasionally heard of Dual Cultivation methods.
Dual Cultivation methods involve two Cultivators, while this Taming Beast Art involves a master and a Spirit Beast.
There seemed to be no difference.
“I feel like I should get a Dual Cultivation Cultivation Technique to read in the future.”
Su Bai was very eager to learn.
This Taming Beast Art could allow a Spirit Beast to help its master Cultivate.
At the same time, it would also enhance the Spirit Beast's own cultivation.
In terms of effect,
it was hard not to make Su Bai draw connections.
A night passed.
The next day.
Su Bai opened her door.
She saw Lü Hong running towards her with an excited expression.
Her small face was flushed, and she held up the Spiritual Silkworm with both hands.
“Su Yi, I have good news for you!”
