The First Saint of Dan Dao

Chapter 581: Can spiritual beasts practice cultivation?

Du Shu didn't expect Qiu Guangqiong to be so direct, and he didn't get angry. He asked with a smile: "Master Qiu, do you want to compete with Wending Danpu in terms of revenue?"

"To be honest with you, Mr. Du, I do have this idea! I won't be willing to give up unless I get hurt. I hope you can understand!" Qiu Guangqiong said truthfully.

Du Shu was not surprised. Nine out of ten sects had the same mentality as Qiu Guangqiong.

There is no need to explain at all. Once Wending Danpu beats them to a pulp, they will naturally behave themselves.

But we have to get them to join Wending Academy. After all, once they understand what's in their favor, we have to cooperate with them.

“Okay!” Du Shu smiled and nodded. Worried that Qiu Guangqiong might overthink things, he added, “Whether or not we cooperate with Wen Dinghe will not affect the quality of teaching.

The purpose of Dandao School is to promote the development of Dandao.

All students study together, the whole process is free, there is no discrimination, Sect Master Qiu can rest assured!"

Hearing Du Shu's answer, Qiu Guangqiong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Wending is worthy of being praised by alchemists as the holy land of alchemy. This breadth of mind far exceeds that of Medicine Valley!"

"Master Qiu, thank you for your compliment. I, Du, suggest that the Qiudan Sect arrange more members to go to the academy. Even if they don't cooperate with Wen Ding, it is worthwhile to increase the rate of high-quality alchemists." Du Shu reminded again and again.

"I'll arrange it!" Qiu Guangqiong nodded.

"By the way, I heard from the Second Elder that Sect Master Qiu just went to Qingbao Pavilion to buy a spiritual pet. I wonder if there are any left. I, Du, also want to go and see it." Du Shu asked curiously.

He was not interested in spirit pets, but he was very interested in this business and wanted to broaden his horizons.

If there is huge profit, it is worth doing!

Qiu Guangqiong smiled and said, "Unfortunately, all the snow monkeys were sold out when I came back! But I bought two this time. If Mr. Du is interested, I can give you one!"

Du Shu said without pretense: "Thank you, Sect Master Qiu. I will take a look first to see if you like it."

"Please come this way!" Qiu Guangqiong led Du Shu out.

When we arrived at a courtyard, we saw two snow monkeys fighting over a ball and having a lot of fun.

The snow monkeys looked cute in their vest and shorts. The fur outside their clothes was clean and a bit dazzling in the sun.

"Come here!" Qiu Guangqiong shouted softly.

The two snow monkeys immediately stopped playing and walked over obediently.

"Pay respect to Manager Du." Qiu Guangqiong ordered.

The two snow monkeys bowed in a very formal manner and were very obedient and well-behaved.

Du Shu was amazed. Such a sensible pet would have a huge market. He asked immediately, "It is very popular. I wonder how much this snow monkey costs?"

"Although it is only a first-level spiritual beast, it will cost at least one hundred million taels of silver." Qiu Guangqiong replied.

Du Shu was secretly shocked. For an ordinary first-level spiritual beast, ten thousand taels of silver was almost the limit, and the cheaper ones were only a few dozen taels.

I didn’t expect the profit from spirit pets to be so considerable. What’s more important is that even though the selling price is high, it is still snapped up by people!

I have to study this business carefully when I get back!

"Mr. Du, if you like it, I'll give you this female monkey." Qiu Guangqiong waved at the monkey on the right, and when it came closer, he pulled her clothes and introduced her:

“The Qingbao Pavilion’s spiritual pets are priced high for a reason. After being domesticated by them, the snow monkeys are also evolving, and some of their parts fully satisfy people’s aesthetic tastes.

Shopkeeper Du, please look at it. It is full and plump, countless times more beautiful than that of ordinary snow monkeys. It can completely rival that of humans. The same is true for the secret location.

Therefore, its function is more extensive and its price is higher. It only costs 200 million taels of silver!"

Du Shu was dumbfounded and stunned.

Such a small spiritual beast, but there are so many twists and turns?

No, are the people of Beiling really that damn strong in taste?

Wait, two hundred million?

Du Shu felt his heartbeat begin to accelerate. This was not huge profits at all, it was clearly printing money!

"I'll take it back and study it, and then return it to Sect Master Qiu." Du Shu said.

"No, no, no!" Qiu Guangqiong hastily refused: "Master Du, just keep it."

"Well, then I'll keep it. But you must not let Sect Master Qiu pay for the money. This is 200 million taels of silver. Please accept it, Sect Master Qiu!" Du Shu handed over a storage bag.

Qiu Guangqiong wanted to refuse, but Du Shu insisted on giving her the money, so she had to accept it.

Du Shu did not stay long and rushed to the next sect with the snow monkey.

……

Ten days later, Tang Yan once again received a great gift from Tianmei - the ninth-level spirit beast Shadow Ape.

The Shadow Ape is nine feet tall, which is more than half a head taller than an adult. It has amazing strength, speed, and defense, and is a natural warrior.

Tang Yan was not stingy and gave Tian Mei ten pills, then took the Shadow Ape to the "Jinxiu Peak" behind the sect.

Although this is not a forbidden area, people from the sect rarely come here.

However, starting today, this place will be officially listed as a forbidden area. If you want to enter, you need to apply to the sect.

The original plan was to let the Shadow Ape grow here on its own, but Tang Yan suddenly had an idea - can spiritual beasts practice?

When this thought came to his mind, Tang Yan himself felt it was ridiculous.

If a spiritual beast wants to become stronger, it can do so by devouring essence and blood, spiritual objects of heaven and earth, etc., storing the spiritual energy in the beast core, and slowly transforming it into its own power.

When a spiritual beast is young, its strength increases rapidly by devouring spiritual objects.

However, if you want to use spiritual objects to improve after adulthood, the process will be extremely slow. Compared with the human race, it is at least fifty times slower.

Whether they are powerful or not ultimately depends on their bloodline.

But I have never heard of any rumors of spiritual beasts practicing cultivation.

But since he had nothing to do, Tang Yan took the opportunity to explore the body structure of the Shadow Ape.

After studying it for a long time, Tang Yan had roughly explored the body of the Shadow Ape. If he wanted to learn more, he could only dissect it.

The beast core is equivalent to the dantian of a spiritual beast and is the core of its strength, but its meridians are in a state of "going but not returning".

In other words, power can surge out from the beast core and quickly enter the limbs and bones.

However, it is difficult to allow spiritual energy to circulate through the body's meridians like humans do and achieve the effect of cultivation.

The cultivation method of the human race is not suitable for spirit beasts, even those of the ape type that are close to humans!

Even so, Tang Yan still remains skeptical about the idea that "spiritual beasts cannot practice cultivation."

After all, in the ancient times when people ate raw meat and drank blood, humans were unable to practice cultivation.

It was after countless predecessors’ continuous exploration that they finally developed a rough method of cultivation.

After countless improvements, today's martial arts have come to be what they are today.

Tang Yan didn't plan to give up researching how to make spirit beasts practice, so he would just figure it out slowly.

Now I can teach the Shadow Ape some martial arts moves. As long as they are used properly, the combat power will definitely increase exponentially.

Having made up his mind, Tang Yan took out several different weapons from his storage ring and ordered, "Pick a weapon you like!"

Knife, sword, bow, stick, spear, axe, hammer, fork...

The weapons floated before it.

The Shadow Ape looked at it for a while, then reached out and grasped a long stick.

Tang Yan raised his eyebrows. This choice of weapon was in line with humans' stereotype of monkeys.

"Are there any requirements for length and weight?" Tang Yan asked again.

The Shadow Ape howled a few times, and Tang Yan understood. He took out a piece of pure black iron, melted it with the fire of heaven and earth, and finally molded it into the shape of a long stick.

The size and weight meet its requirements.

Tang Yan also took a long stick and demonstrated a few basic moves to the Shadow Ape, asking it to practice them repeatedly.

This will allow it to quickly become familiar with the weapon, making it easier to teach it the real killer moves!
