My mind soars through different potential ways to get through this situation.
A few options imdiately co to mind. Most of which involve giving exorbitant gifts that they could use for their own cultivation and taming. The main question that cos up is what type of gift should I give, and how far should I go?
Although Im already planning on giving extrely valuable gifts to them, I cant go too far. If I give them sothing thats too good, theyll have soone thats a high enough level that I cant detect to follow .
Obviously, since Im heading to sothing thats clearly valuable, I likely will either get it stolen from , or in the best-case situation reported on to others.
And I suspect that this is not sothing that anyone should really know about.
With that in mind, I think I have the perfect choices.
Of course, while Im standing here and theyre sitting, the surrounding people are looking worried.
The young woman who had led around today quickly asks the question on all of their minds.
Young Master Jas is everything alright?
I let my face grow tense as I throw out so bullshit.
Unfortunately, it is not. Ive just received a notification for my master that theres sothing urgent I will need to complete.
I can see panic cross their face as they wonder what they might have done. As might be natural, theyre assuming that they had done sothing to offend . Of course, since their leaders specifically told them to make sure I stay here, the assumption would be that they had ssed this up.
Naturally, that would not go well for them.
Dont be concerned, as this is simply sothing personal that my master had said he would notify about. I realize your leaders are on their way and its regretful that I wont be able to et them. I know this leaving so suddenly will put you in a bad position. So that I can show my sincerity, could you hand so paper?
They initially freeze at my words, but then rush to move according to my words, to not further displease . Almost all of them are hurrying to grab non-contract paper, as it just wouldnt be the woman who would be in trouble for this.
While they do that, I motion to a few of the creatures carrying ingredients to co over. I take out a sizable quantity of ingredients and materials, which should help with spirit beasts cultivation. Not only that, but I also bring out anything that might help with taming them in the first place.
Unlike how I do it, normally a person has to win over a spirit beast. For so creatures, having a regular source of food in a way to safely cultivate is enough for them. Others require certain ingredients and actions perford for them in order to win them over. And in so situations, you have to subdue the creature and force them to recognize you.
For each of these, there should be so ingredients that can help with that and making the whole taming process easier for them.
While Im still getting these ingredients out, they quickly co back with the paper. After they hand it to , I imdiately begin the list of ingredients Im giving them. My scan catches that so of their mouths fall agape, mostly from the experienced mbers of their group.
As seems to happen every ti sothing shocking happens, several of them whisper about the different ingredients they see.
Is that the nine dragons ascending root?!
Could it be? Hes giving a whole bundle of Three Turns Silk, only able to harvested from a Middle Drip spider? How could soone harvest that much?!
They say that just a taste of the 12 divines rock powder could make a sky devouring lizard yours in under a minute Where could he have found this?
Ive beco a little too used to this sort of thing. Even now Im droning out their words.
No longer paying attention to their exclamations of shock, I move my attention over to the extra empty sheets of paper before .
I quickly use my scan to review potential sets of information the taming group might not have access to yet.
The focus is mainly on picking information that would be reasonable to find out with a large amount of research and ti.
After that, I narrow the list down to the range of creatures that Ive tad in the jungle. The reasoning for this, is to explain so creatures Ive tad, that the Guild wouldnt believe can be tad.
At least until they gain intelligence, at least.
An example would be the worm. Though this one is an intelligent spirit beast and I can communicate with them via my taming contract ability, most tars wouldnt have access to such a convenient thing. So, it would be tougher for them to truly ta such a creature, unless they were high level.
By which ti it would likely be more effective to go for a different type of creature.
In reality, the worms actually are really easy to ta and can be really convenient to use in a low-level fight if paired with a good tar.
As they are intelligent, if you give them a certain mix of plant, soil, and animal refuse, theyll follow you like a puppy. Continue to give them it and theyll protect you with their life.
Not only that, but if you work with them enough, theyll be able to follow simple to complex orders easily.
What makes them useful is that they can grow to massive sizes, increasing both in mass and density using their inborn Qi abilities, though they rarely do so above ground. In fact, even in life-or-death situations, they normally wouldnt use the ability.
They actually only used it for collective defense with a now extinct species of underground creatures, as an old evolutionary trait.
When a person gives them the mix, it activates this old trait and makes them considered like brothers. A bond only further reinforced as you give them more.
It makes them highly receptive and their normally lethargic nature becos inquisitive and attentive.
The only way they could have discovered this is with a contract that allows a form of telepathy. Those types are normally needed to communicate with creatures that cannot communicate or understand human speech.
A much more expensive contract than the norm.
Most tars wouldnt use the expense on such a small and normal looking worm, that typically does nothing.
So, it makes sense they would have never discovered this.
It isnt an amazing creature, but it is sothing that could be a simple and effective choice for beginner tars.
In fact, the original purpose of this group is to nurture and provide resources for new and experienced tars. Which includes training aspiring ones. So that they will turn around and support the group later on.
There are, of course, other creatures that also can fit this role, but this adds another one to the list that they can use.
And this is the information is on only one of the 20 creatures that I have.
For each of these creatures, I list a thod that could reliably get a similar creature of the sa species on a tars side.
After organizing all the information on the sheet, I then put a note that I was very pleased by the work that the workers for the group were doing and that thats part of the reason I was happy to give this gift. Also, that Im looking forward to putting in a formal application to join the group.
After that, I put it in an apology letter on my needing to suddenly leave and take care of an urgent issue.
I quickly notify the staff that I must leave now, while telling them to secure the docunts and give them to the leaders when they arrive. I include to not share any of the information with anyone else outside the group.
After a quick glance at the information and seeing all the ingredients that Ive left out, they quickly move all the creatures to housing facilities while storing away the information.
Five of the creatures can condense their bodies into smaller forms and choose to accompany for protection, while being stealthy about it.
The turtle, who looks like a shield on my back. Legs, arms, and head tucked in.
The earthworm, who shrinks and hides in my pocket.
The strange pairing of a giant frog, and a carp who lives in the frogs mouth. The frog stays in the pocket with the earthworm, who gives off uneasy vibes.
And finally the walking plant, who when I tried to leave it, condensed its form and wrapped its entire body around mine like a vine.
Under my clothes.
Im really trying not to think about it.
After a few words of temporary goodbye to my creatures and grabbing so ingredients and a prepared bag from them, I turn to the staff.
I instruct them to transfer the rest of the creatures and items to the sect. That if any of them leaves the group before the transfer, it is fine and not to hold them back.
I give them the appropriate amount of money, which, to my surprise, they quickly deny. They state that Ive already given enough and that they are happy to help.
Feeling a little pleased that I can keep the money that I will surely need for later, I move on to my final request.
I tell them I need to not be followed and if they could ensure that no one does so, it would be appreciated.
I then do a series of jumps to get to the city.
Now to find a way to get in the city secretly.
