Chapter 288 Communication

The training of the first-level peak Fengyun horse can be put aside first, and the priority of the iron carp bubble is increased.

A good beastmaster is not only good at contracting monsters, but also can train monsters.

Some high-level monsters that are stuck in a bottleneck will even actively seek excellent beastmasters to help them break the bottleneck. Of course, such things rarely happen. Even the knowledgeable Li Qianqing knows very few examples of such things.

Li Xingsheng is undoubtedly a good beastmaster. He also likes to train monsters. Otherwise, the Li family would not have eight Fengyun horses now, and the four little Fengyun horses born later can be used well without contracting Li family cultivators under his training.

With the current size of the Li family, eight Fengyun horses are enough. If he wants to train a few more, at least he has to wait until the Li family becomes a Jindan cultivator family or owns three small counties.

Compared with the former, the latter is even less likely to be achieved, because the current Li family has Li Qianqing and Li Xunming.

Without a Jindan-stage cultivator in the family, even the strongest foundation-building family in Zhao State could not occupy three small counties.

For the current Li family, it is very difficult to become the overlord of Wutong County, let alone another small county.

"Bubbles, go play." Li Xingsheng said and put away his hands.

After the iron carp spit two bubbles at Li Xingsheng, it dived into the bottom of the lake.

Among the monsters he contracted, the iron carp was the least cared for. One of the reasons was that he lived in Changqing Mountain before, and the iron carp was placed in Bibo Lake.

The benefit that this iron carp currently brings to the Li family is to promote the growth of fry, and also allow the Li family to produce a relatively stable first-level mid-term spiritual fish for consumption every year.

If the iron carp enters the second level, it will also bring more production benefits to the Li family. However, after learning more about Bubbles today, Li Xingsheng thinks that after it enters the second level, its combat effectiveness should also be good. The only pity is that it can only guard Bibo Lake in the future.

"Jiji."

"Here you go." Li Xingsheng heard Shushu say he was hungry, and immediately handed it a low-grade spirit stone.

Shushu had no contractual relationship with him, so he could not understand Shushu better through the beast control technique, and he was not sure how likely Shushu was to break through to the second level.

He did not know much about this, but he was very confident in Shushu.

He had successfully built his foundation, and he believed that Shushu would definitely be able to break through to the second level and become a second-level demon beast.

Compared with the iron carp breaking through to the second level, if Shushu entered the second level, for the entire Li family, it should be possible to find some metal spirit mines, and even medium-sized spirit mines.

...

Two years later.

The northernmost part of Yue State.

Li Xingsheng's figure appeared on a small hill.

He felt the movement of the beast control bag and released Shushu. Now that we have arrived at this place, there are not many cultivators to see, and Shushu is nothing on his shoulder.

"Beyond is the Ten Thousand Mountains and Swamps." Li Xingsheng looked into the distance.

He had prepared a lot in two years. Compared with when he just built his foundation, first of all, in terms of personal strength, he was already in the ordinary early stage of building his foundation, not the way he was when he just entered the foundation.

This time, he entered the Ten Thousand Mountains and Swamps to contract the monster beasts, not mainly by force, but by communication.

If he relied on force to contract the monster beasts, he would have agreed directly when Thirteenth Uncle asked him to help him contract the monster beasts two years ago.

The strength of the beastmaster itself is similar to that of the cultivators of the same realm. In terms of personal strength, the beastmaster is already strong. The beastmaster mainly relies on the cooperation of the monster beasts to make his strength stronger.

The monster beasts that were contracted before, whether it was the Fengyun Horse or the Iron Carp, were not combat-type monster beasts, but more to help the family do things.

Now the monster beasts that Li Xingsheng wants to contract have become monster beasts with potential and are good at fighting.

If you dare to contract this type of monster beast, you must have a means of escape. If you can't communicate, you have to get away.

"Let's go."

"Jiji."

Li Xingsheng's figure disappeared on the hill.

The first thing to do when entering the Shiwan Mountains and Swamps is to hide your breath. The second-level monsters are not as sharp as the first-level monsters. Li Xingsheng wants to avoid being discovered by them before he discovers them. If he does the opposite, it will be difficult for him to observe the monsters.

He learned the means of concealment when he was at the ninth level of Qi Refining. In more than two years of preparation, he has made some progress in this aspect.

Now he just needs to be careful. Normally, the second-level early and middle-stage monsters will find it difficult to discover him.

Four days and nights passed in a blink of an eye.

These days, Li Xingsheng did not encounter a second-level monster. He only saw first-level monsters.

This time when he came to the Shiwan Mountains and Swamps, he did not regard the first-level monsters as his target, unless this first-level monster also had the opportunity to grow to the third level, but such monsters were basically impossible to see in the outer area of ​​the Shiwan Mountains and Swamps.

As for going deep into the Hundred Thousand Mountains and Swamps… He didn’t dare to do that now. There were more than just second-level monsters in there. There must be third-level monsters. It was rumored that there were fourth-level monsters comparable to Yuanying cultivators. You should know that in the three small countries, there is currently no Yuanying cultivator.

In the past few days, Li Xingsheng did not use the flying ability of the foundation-building cultivator. He was looking for traces of monsters on the ground.

First, it is not easy to attract the attention of cultivators. There are many cultivators in the Hundred Thousand Mountains and Swamps, and there are also some foundation-building cultivators; second, it can also reduce the consumption of spiritual power. Flying is relatively consuming for foundation-building cultivators.

"Chichi." The rat on Li Xingsheng's shoulder suddenly called twice.

The next moment, Shushu was on the ground and stood in front of him.

"You found something to eat." Li Xingsheng looked at Shushu's appearance and the cry just now, and knew that Shushu had found a metal spirit mine.

"Jiji."

"Don't go over, come up." Shushu wanted to go over, but Li Xingsheng stopped him directly.

A metal spirit mine was discovered in Shiwanshanze. It is completely impossible to mine it with the current ability of the Li family. Even if the Li family becomes a power to form immortals, it will be difficult to mine the spiritual minerals here. If they are immortal cultivators in the northern part of Yue country, Power, let’s talk about it a little bit.

No matter what, Li Xingsheng took out the map and simply marked it.

"This place is far away from the northernmost part of Yue." Although he didn't fly, he had moved thousands of miles in these days.

Shushu was very obedient. After understanding what Li Xingsheng meant, it returned to Li Xingsheng's shoulders.

"Jiji."

"Okay." Li Xingsheng took out a blue rock the size of a baby's fist and used it as food for the next few days.

In addition to spirit stones, Shushu now only eats metal spirit ores that are above the first level, which is beneficial to its growth.

According to the current speed at which Shushu's cultivation level is improving bit by bit, Li Xingsheng estimates that in about five years, Shushu will officially become a first-order peak monster.

Fifty miles forward again.

"The spiritual energy has become much stronger..."

Li Xingsheng sensed the changes in the aura of heaven and earth, and there was probably a second-order monster here.

Li Xingsheng glanced at Shushu on his shoulder. Shushu entered the beast-controlling bag very wisely. Whenever he went to a place where the aura of heaven and earth was relatively strong, he would let Shushu enter the beast-controlling bag, just because he was worried that he would not be caught. When the first-level monsters sensed it, Shushu was sensed by the second-level monsters.

After seeing Shushu enter the beast control bag, Li Xingsheng continued to act.

‘I hope I can meet a second-order monster this time, and it’s the second-order monster I want. ’

While taking action, Li Xingsheng was still praying in his heart, hoping for a good result.

Half an hour later.

A big guy covered in thick tortoise shells with a flaming tail was lying on the ground resting, unaware that a human was observing it.

This human monk is naturally Li Xingsheng.

The second-order early-stage monster flame turtle in the distance is a monster with dual attributes of water and fire. As the saying goes, fire and water are incompatible. Monsters of this type are relatively rare.

Among the second-level monsters of the same realm, the flame turtle is at the forefront in terms of strength, and it has the potential to grow to the third level. The only disadvantage is that it will take longer to grow. The thousand-year king, the eighty-thousand-year turtle, and the lifespan of turtle monsters are generally It is relatively long, but the speed of cultivation is slower than other monster species.

After observing for a long time, Li Xingsheng finally made up his mind.

He wants to contract with this early second-level flame turtle.

Although the flame turtle grows slowly, other conditions meet his standards. If you don't contract this flame turtle, you may not find a better monster in the future. In addition, there is something more important, that is, this flame turtle, which he judged to be easier to convince.

After sorting out his thoughts, Li Xingsheng, who was ready to take action, approached the flame turtle.

This time he didn't go out of his way to hide his aura.

Now that he wants to subdue him, hiding his aura is no longer necessary. It will also make the monsters distrust him. The reason why he hides his aura is to see that the monster is not his own, to avoid unnecessary discovery, and some may cause conflicts.

Li Xingsheng has a good affinity for monsters, and with the bonus of beast control, most monsters below the second level will not attack him at first sight, but there are a small number of monsters that will not. Same.

When Li Xingsheng didn't hide his aura, the flame turtle opened his eyes.

It discovered this human monk in the early stages of foundation building.

Most monsters have territorial awareness. Often, the more powerful the monster, the higher the territorial awareness. When seeing a human monk in the early stage of foundation building entering his territory and still relatively close to him, the normal flame turtle will attack directly. , kill the human monk.

But it didn't attack because it couldn't feel the human monk's malice, and could even feel the goodwill released by the other party, even though the human monk hadn't spoken yet.

"Woooo." The flame turtle called Li Xingsheng twice.

Many monsters at the third level can speak human words as long as they want to learn. Some monsters can do it at the second level. The flame turtle does not fall into this range.

After improving his beast control skills to a higher level, Li Xingsheng could understand the general meaning of the flame turtle even before he contracted it.

It probably asked him what he was doing here and warned him not to get too close.

Li Xingsheng stopped when he walked a certain distance. He believed that he was no match for the flame turtle. A similar warning should be the bottom line of this monster. As long as he did not touch the bottom line, he would not be attacked. He has confidence.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Li Xingsheng. I'm here to discuss something with you." Li Xingsheng smiled at the flame turtle. He didn't need to emphasize that he had no ill intentions. The flame turtle would feel it himself. .

Monsters with a certain level of intelligence believe in their own feelings. As long as they feel that there is something wrong with you, or even malicious intentions, no matter what you say, it will be useless.

"Woo?" The flame turtle showed a puzzled expression.

Second-level monsters have a certain degree of intelligence. Even if Li Xingsheng is not a beastmaster and has not practiced beast control, the flame turtle can roughly understand what he wants to express. Now, the flame turtle can understand Li Xingsheng's words more clearly.

What the flame turtle does not understand now is that a human cultivator can discuss with the great beast.

"I can help you cultivate to the late second level in about a hundred years. If you work hard, I will have a chance to help you when you break through to the third level." Li Xingsheng first made his conditions. He can say this and it can be done.

If he can contract this flame turtle, one of his biggest wishes in life is to help the flame turtle break through to the third level.

After hundreds of years of emotional cultivation, after the flame turtle breaks through to the third level, even if he leaves, the flame turtle will still be the guardian monster of the Li family. At that time, even if the Li family does not have a Jindan stage cultivator, having a third-level monster can be regarded as half a Jindan cultivation family, which is not comparable to the foundation-building cultivation family.

As for his own breakthrough to the Jindan stage, Li Xingsheng had almost no confidence in himself. With his three spiritual roots, it was very good to be able to practice and break through to the current foundation-building stage. Jindan was a luxury for him.

"Woo woo."

"Why should I help you? Of course it's not free. The premise of helping you is that you have to become my contracted monster." Li Xingsheng put forward his own conditions.

There is no need to beat around the bush when negotiating with monsters. It is best to be direct.

If you express a lot of meaning, the other party will either not understand or ignore what you don't understand and pick out the understanding that they do understand.

The flame turtle did not answer immediately, but looked at Li Xingsheng.

It hesitated.

Li Xingsheng was delighted. As long as the monster hesitated, it meant that he had a high probability of success. At this time, he just needed to add more fire.

"It should be a few years since you broke through the second level. I don't know if you have encountered humans during this period. There are human cultivators like me, and there are also human cultivators who want to hunt you when they see you. Instead of staying here and growing slowly, and possibly encountering life-threatening situations, it is better to follow me. It is safer. With my help, you can cultivate faster."

"That's all I have to say. Whether you are willing or not depends on you. If you are not willing, I will leave."

Li Xingsheng expressed it in a relatively simple way. He did not explain that their family is constantly growing and growing, and has become the overlord of a county, and their safety is very guaranteed. The current Flame Turtle would definitely not understand this.

What he said was the truth, from the heart, and he believed that the Flame Turtle could hear it.
