1233 True Blood Imprint

Lin Mu had returned to his residence after talking with Elder Niji for a bit.

Thankfully, other than the yard's ground cracking a bit, no actual damage was done to the residence itself. The two culprits behind the cracks were also with him, currently sleeping soundly.

~Sigh~

"Who would have thought these tiny ones will do cause such panic?" Lin Mu shook his head.

The Earth Fixing array was now automatically fixing itself, while the hole in the roof of the tribe was going to be dealt with by the workers of the tribe. They were actually used to fixing stuff like this since the Chasm Beasts would occasionally dig into the tribe before.

Then there were also the general cracks and collapse that would happen naturally when they expanded the tribe's area. Lin Mu had offered to fix it of course, but Elder Niji told him there was no need to spend extra time in that.

Thus, Lin Mu was now free to take care of the two baby snakes. He checked them with his spirit sense and realized that they were a pair of brother and sister.

"I need to put an imprint on them both first. Without that, they might not listen easily." Lin Mu reckoned.

Currently, the two snakes might have only listened to him because he was the one who had provided the beast Qi, but there was no telling what might happen later. Plus, with the two snakes having such great potential, it was best to put the beast taming imprint on them as soon as possible.

After all, there was always a chance that the process of imprinting might fail if the beast was resisting or was too strong. Some beasts that had a low cultivation base but strong bloodlines would also be able to resist this.

And from what Lin Mu could tell, the two snakes certainly had a really powerful bloodline.

With all this in mind, Lin Mu started the process.

'Since they are newborns I should use the other method that Senior Xukong taught be before.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

Lin Mu first lowered the defenses of his finger and then cut it enough so that blood started to come out. He then put a drop of blood each on the heads of the two baby snakes. Once that was done he sat in a lotus pose while holding them in his hands.

~huu~

Taking a deep breath, Lin Mu entered a calm state first. The method of imprinting he was using today was different from the normal method of beast taming. It was also different than the method Lin Mu had used on Little Shrubby.

This method was called as the True Blood Imprint. It was supposedly and old method of Beast taming and had long since been forgotten. The normal beast imprints were such that they could still be broken by different methods.

Lin Mu didn't need to worry about Little Shrubby and his link breaking, since it went beyond just a normal imprint. Even if someone managed to break the link and dispel the imprint, it wasn't as if Little Shrubby was going to turn against him.

But the same could not be said for the two snakes. Lin Mu could very well tell that they were unique and seeing their dramatic 'birth' today had already shown him the value of them both.

Plus, being in a high leveled world like this also meant that there would be other experts that would desire such strong beasts. Lin Mu definitely wouldn't want to have his tamed beast stolen, whether it was for others to keep as their own, or for materials.

Thus, the True Blood Imprint was the method to go for.

The advantage of this method was that it simply could not be broken through normal means. And even the methods that did exist to break it were now lost to the annals of time, considering how old this method was.

Another advantage of this method was that it would allow the beast and master to develop a deeper link between each other. It was similar to the one that Lin Mu and Little Shrubby had.

One might think that if Lin Mu had developed a link like that with little Shrubby, he could do the same with the baby snakes too. But there was no guarantee for that. It took a lot of time, investment and trust for a link like that to even start to develop, not to mention fully establish.

Another reason why Xukong suggested this method to Lin Mu was because of the Great Slumber Bear bloodline. It was an oppressive bloodline that could even affect beast and make them fear him when used to the full extent.

This meant that if Lin Mu used it in the presence of tamed beast, even they might get scared and simply faint, making them a burden during the fight. The True blood imprint would ensure that this didn't happen.

In fact, the True blood Imprint would allow the tamed beast to carry a trace of the master's aura, warning others.

Lin Mu continued to meditate for an hour before he finally entered the right state for the next step.

~shua~

An empty space appeared in his mind and Lin Mu's body materialize in this space as well. His body was illusory and didn't have any solidness to it.

"Now I'm supposed to call the two baby snakes here through the resonance of my blood." Lin Mu recalled the next step.

He sensed the two drops of blood and quickly found them.

~HONG~

It was as if the chime of a bell was heard and two motes of light appeared in the empty space. One of the lights was black and the other was white.

If one looked closely, they would see tiny figures of the snakes in each of the motes.

"Will you form a bond with me?" Lin Mu walked up to the two motes of light and asked.

The motes of light floated around soundlessly for a few minutes until finally they moved.
