Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming Chapter 1959 - 713: Cooperative Alchemy

Having taken Zhou Chun’s Dragon Scale, Xuanting True Person naturally dared not refuse to hand over the original copy of the Grand Universe Spirit Transformation Art.

This Beast Taming Secret Art, like other secret arts of the Commanding Spirit Sect, was recorded on a piece of beast skin scroll. The characters on it were minute, finer than grains of river sand, visible only with Divine Sense.

Moreover, the quality of this beast skin was as high as Fifth Order!

Zhou Chun personally held the beast skin scroll and read it multiple tis. With his own insight, he evaluated each secret art and recipe on it. Only after confirming it seed genuine, did he nod towards Xuanting True Person, then turned his hand to put away the beast skin scroll.

Seeing this, Xuanting True Person breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said: "Since Taoist Friend Zhou has no objections, I will take my leave first."

"Safe travels, Taoist Friend Xuanting. If there’s an opportunity, I will visit you personally one day," Zhou Chun said, squinting his eyes with a aningful tone.

Upon hearing this, Xuanting True Person’s heart trembled, but he smiled and replied: "That would indeed be my honor. Should that day co, I will definitely be prepared to welco you!"

He then hastily left the Zhou Family.

After sending off Xuanting True Person, Zhou Chun turned back to ticulously study the secret arts and recipes on the beast skin scroll.

His initial focus was naturally on the Grand Universe Spirit Transformation Art.

The secret art Xuanting True Person had previously shown him was only one-third of the complete version and had intentionally omitted so crucial points necessary for cultivation.

Now that he had the original copy, Zhou Chun’s careful study revealed that the difficulty of cultivating this secret art was greater than he had imagined. It wasn’t passively triggered but required active activation.

That is to say, to truly transfer any damage he suffered to his Spirit Pet, he needed to initiate the secret art in advance.

In cases of sudden attacks where there was no ti to activate the secret art, the damage could not be passively transferred to the Spirit Pet.

At the sa ti, during the damage transfer, the Spirit Pet needed to be in close proximity, ideally as close as possible.

The most crucial point was that the duration of this secret art was very short, less than a quarter-hour.

Moreover, if the user sustained significant damage during this period, they would have to wait for their injuries to heal before they could use the secret art again.

In other words, even if Zhou Chun learned this secret art, he could only get a less than quarter-hour damage transfer buff, and he couldn’t use it again in the sa battle after that period.

This was quite different from what he had previously envisioned.

Of course, he couldn’t accuse Xuanting True Person of selling counterfeit goods because of this.

At most, he could say the other party didn’t provide a complete manual in advance, which wasn’t necessarily required in their transaction.

Despite the differences from his expectations, the Grand Universe Spirit Transformation Art was still of enormous value to Zhou Chun.

Having researched this secret art, Zhou Chun then examined the other two Beast Taming Secret Arts from the Commanding Spirit Sect.

These two secret arts were nad respectively the Profound Spirit Beast Armor and Hundred Beasts Battle Puppet, each possessing its own mysteries.

To take the Profound Spirit Beast Armor as an example, this art could transform the Spirit Pet into armor to closely protect oneself, very suitable for cultivators raising multiple Spirit Pets.

For instance, if Zhou Chun mastered this secret art, he could transform any Spirit Pet into a unique "Beast Armor" to protect himself. The defense of the "Beast Armor" depends on the cultivation level and physical strength of the Spirit Pet.

For Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, this secret art wasn’t very useful because the "Beast Armor" transford from Fourth Order Magical Beasts lacked sufficient defense, and transforming a Fifth-order Demon King into "Beast Armor" was purely a waste.

However, for cultivators below the Nascent Soul Stage, especially those below the Golden Core Stage, this secret art still had significant utility.

As for the Hundred Beasts Battle Puppet secret art, Zhou Chun found it hard to comnt on its rits.

This art’s purpose was to refine Spirit Pets directly into battle puppets like in Corpse Refinent.

However, unlike puppets and corpse refinents, this kind of battle puppet had a considerable degree of growth potential.

Because even when refined into a battle puppet, the Demon Beast didn’t lose its consciousness entirely, it wasn’t dead, still needed to eat to survive, and could even continue to reproduce with other Demon Beasts.

Though battle puppets had decent growth potential, their growth ceiling was limited to Fourth Order high-grade Demon Beasts and couldn’t break into the Fifth Order realm.

The benefit of these battle puppets, like puppets and corpse refinents, was that they weren’t afraid of death; even if they were sent to their deaths, they wouldn’t resist the slightest!

In contrast, Spirit Pets with their own consciousness found it hard to achieve this.

For instance, Golden Core Stage cultivators possessing Fourth Order Magical Beast Spirit Pets, if they attempted to make their Spirit Pets self-destruct their Demon Core, in most situations, the Spirit Pets would absolutely refuse.

The Zhou Family has always advocated for clan mbers to treat their Spirit Pets well and strictly forbids them from deliberately abusing the Spirit Pets.

This Hundred Beasts Battle Puppet secret art undoubtedly went against the Zhou Family’s ideals of Beast Taming.

Zhou Chun even felt it was quite sinister and suspected it might have been derived from certain demon path secret arts, or it might simply be a demon path secret art under a different na!

Hence, after reviewing the entire secret art, he decided it couldn’t be indiscriminately provided to Zhou Family mbers for cultivation like the Profound Spirit Beast Armor. Only clan mbers in specific circumstances could learn it.

What are specific circumstances?

It refers to those high-level Demon Beasts subdued by force, to prevent them from retaliating against their masters in the future, they could be used to cultivate this art.
