Chapter 101 Taming the Beast
After leaving her residence in the mountains, Qin Ziling first went to Liu Xiaoqiang's old house to remove her makeup, then put a bag of feed into the corpse ring, and then went to Tongfu Inn.
From a distance of dozens of meters, Qin Ziling saw that there were many diners sitting in Tongfu Inn, with a lot of noise and chatter. Business was surprisingly booming, completely different from the previous desertedness.
"Mr. Qin, Happy New Year, Happy New Year!" Shopkeeper Bao, who was checking out behind the counter, saw Qin Ziling coming in and immediately came out to greet him, bowing repeatedly with a smile on his face.
"Happy New Year! Business is good!" Qin Ziling replied.
"It's all thanks to Mr. Qin's teachings!" Shopkeeper Bao said with a grateful look on his face.
"Is Yingjun here?" Qin Ziling waved his hand and changed the subject.
"He is having lunch in the backyard. I'll ask him to come out and have a few drinks with you," said Manager Bao.
"I just had dinner and drinks at a friend's house, and came to see how Yingjun is doing in his martial arts training. Shopkeeper Bao, you go about your business, I can go to the backyard by myself." Qin Ziling said.
Seeing that Qin Ziling came over specifically to ask about his son's martial arts training, Manager Bao became even more grateful, and despite Qin Ziling's politeness, he insisted on accompanying him to the backyard.
The Hantie Hall has opened and it is now lunch time.
Bao Yingjun's face was bruised and swollen again, obviously he was beaten again.
"Are you okay?" Qin Ziling asked.
"No, it's okay. I, I also hit that guy Wu Cheng." Bao Yingjun said with a hint of excitement on his face.
"You've made progress!" Qin Ziling patted Bao Yingjun's shoulder with a smile, feeling a little surprised.
Wu Cheng has been practicing palm techniques in the Hantie School for more than a year, and his strength is considered to be top-notch among the apprentices. Bao Yingjun has only been in the school for about two months, and he is only sixteen years old this year. At his age, his physical development and strength have not yet reached their peak.
The two of them were fighting, and Bao Yingjun was actually able to hit Wu Cheng with one palm, which was really not easy.
"Hehe, it's all thanks to Senior Brother Qin's good teaching. And, now the inn business is good, and my parents have been willing to give me some tonic food these days." Bao Yingjun said, looking at Qin Ziling with gratitude.
"Show me some of your moves." Qin Ziling said calmly.
"Yes!" Bao Yingjun's expression changed, then he stood up and went to the middle of the yard to practice the Cold Iron Palm Technique.
Bao Yingjun was obviously short in stature, with shifty eyes and a sharp face, but after a few rounds of cold iron palm strikes, he actually gave people a sense of majesty and strength.
After Qin Ziling and Bao Yingjun finished beating him, he didn't praise him. He just nodded without comment, pointed out several of his shortcomings, and then threw a box to him.
"Eat one every night when you come back and practice martial arts. Don't let anyone know, including your family. I'm leaving, no need to see me off!" Qin Ziling said, waved his hand, turned around and left.
Bao Yingjun chased after him a few steps with the box, but Qin Ziling waved back without looking back. He had no choice but to stop and watch him leave, then opened the box.
As soon as he opened the box, an extremely fishy and unpleasant smell rushed into his nose. The lunch in his stomach suddenly churned and he almost vomited.
"What is this?" Bao Yingjun looked at the twenty black meatballs slightly smaller than pigeon eggs in the box with a worried look on his face.
These pitch-black meatballs were naturally made by Qin Ziling using the boiled dried meat of the Eight Desolate Green Python.
Bao Yingjun has great talent, but his bones are much worse than Liu Xiaoqiang's, which is also his biggest shortcoming. If he wants to go further and achieve higher achievements in the future, it is crucial to lay a solid foundation.
The Eight Desolate Green Python is a third-grade exotic beast that contains rich wood vitality. Its dried meat is naturally an excellent ingredient for strengthening the bone foundation.
However, Bao Yingjun's current blood, energy, and bones are still far behind Liu Xiaoqiang's. Currently, he can only eat a meatball the size of a pigeon egg every day.
Outside the city, Qin Ziling walked towards Anhe Village at a leisurely pace with a thoughtful look on his face.
Suddenly Qin Ziling stopped, raised his hand and patted his head, a happy smile appeared on his face.
"How clever he is for a lifetime but foolish for a moment! Since the Phantom Lizard Dragon can be tamed, it means that through violence and controlling its diet, it can be forced to gradually change its habits, become docile, and be content with the status quo. This should be similar to the principle of animal trainers taming animals.
However, the alien beasts are strong beasts after all, and the changes they can undergo through external violence and diet should be limited. Therefore, they cannot be imprisoned in a small space for a long time, otherwise they will go berserk, so they must have 20 to 30 acres of space for activities.
But I am different. I have practiced the art of controlling the soul. This phantom lizard dragon is not some strange beast with particularly strong blood and energy. I can completely use my soul to enter its dream and perform the art of bewitching the mind to change its thinking habits from the inside out and make it more docile.
In this way, perhaps the two or three hundred square meters of activity space in my backyard will be enough for it. The three beasts to be hatched are still small, and with the help of the soul technique, it will be easier to tame them. "
After finding a solution to the problem, Qin Ziling was in a good mood and walked towards Anhe Village with big strides.
When he got home, Qin Ziling entered the house and saw the Phantom Lizard Dragon coiled up. It sensed someone coming in, opened its eyes and looked up. Seeing that it was Qin Ziling who had fed it every day in the past few days, it closed its eyes again with relief.
Qin Ziling was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurried out of the house to tell Liu Xiaoqiang something. He then returned to the house, closed the door, and then his soul left his body and he performed the technique of entering dreams.
The Phantom Lizard Dragon is a first-class exotic beast with abundant blood and energy. When Qin Ziling's soul approached it, it was like approaching a fire, and his whole body felt as if it was burning.
Fortunately, Qin Ziling's soul has become much stronger recently, and this phantom lizard dragon is not a wild beast. It had just laid three eggs not long ago, and its blood and energy were greatly depleted. Therefore, although it is uncomfortable, it is still bearable.
The phantom lizard dragon had no intelligence. Apart from the fact that its blood and qi were burning like a furnace, which made its soul very uncomfortable, it was very simple to use its soul to enter dreams, and it would not encounter any resistance. Qin Ziling then made up many scenes in its dream, some of which were the tall and mighty images of him, Cui Shi, Yin Ranyue and Liu Xiaoqiang, some of which were scenes of them rescuing it from danger, some of which were scenes of them taking care of it, some of which were warm scenes of it living in the backyard since it was a child, and some of which were terrifying scenes of a Eight Desolate Green Python coiled outside the backyard...
Not long after, Qin Ziling came out of the phantom lizard dragon's dream, his soul returned to his body, his eyes slowly opened, and his face turned slightly pale.
"No wonder it's easy to deceive ordinary people with the soul technique, but it's difficult for warriors with strong will and high cultivation. It's just a first-grade tamed beast, but it's so difficult for me to let my soul enter my dreams. If it's a powerful warrior or an even more powerful beast, this kind of elementary soul technique will be difficult to perform, unless my soul realm is much higher than it is now." Qin Ziling muttered to himself, but his eyes turned to the phantom lizard dragon at this time.
The Phantom Lizard Dragon had woken up by now, and its gaze towards Qin Ziling was obviously a little dazed at first, but gradually became gentle, no longer as vigilant and fierce as before.
"It really works!" Qin Ziling couldn't help but be overjoyed.
