Chapter 69: The Eighth Day
"Remaining lifespan: 2038! Do you want to use up your lifespan to practice the 'Hinayana Beast Taming Technique'?"
Meng Xingchen chose not to practice for the time being. He looked at the little flower snake on Ling Xiaozhe's shoulder and said with a smile, "Xiaozhe, I have a rough idea of what's going on. Is your 'little flower' poisonous?"
Ling Xiaozhe named this little flower snake "Xiaohua", which is so amazing that it is hard to complain about it.
"Yes." After chatting for such a long time, Ling Xiaozhe and Meng Xingchen became more familiar with each other. He touched the little flower snake and said, "But Xiaohua won't bite people casually."
"Then can I touch it?" Meng Xingchen asked.
"..." Ling Xiaozhe was stunned for a moment, then patted the little flower snake's head, took it off his shoulder, lowered his head and put his mouth on the little flower snake, seemed to make a few strange syllables, then handed it to Meng Xingchen and said, "You can touch it."
"Will it not bite me now?" Meng Xingchen confirmed.
Ling Xiaozhe smiled and said, "Xiaohua is very kind and won't bite anyone casually."
"Okay." Meng Xingchen stood up and walked in front of Ling Xiaozhe. After hesitating for a moment, he didn't dare to touch the head, but chose to touch the body of the little flower snake.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss..." The little flower snake looked down at Meng Xingchen's fingers that were pinching its body, and its tongue moved in and out of its mouth, but there was no other movement.
Meng Xingchen was determined in his heart, and immediately began to mentally sense the killing bead in his mind, and chose to practice "Hinayatana Beast Taming Technique."
(In the first year, you began to practice the 'Hinayana Animal Taming Technique.' You seemed to have found a snake pet. However, you had no talent or foundation in this area, so your practice progressed slowly.)
(In the third year, you practiced and tried unremittingly, and gradually developed some feelings for your snake pet. However, it was not raised by you, so your understanding of it was limited. This year, you still did not make any progress in how to use spiritual power to soothe your pet's heart.)
(Year 7. This year, you finally made some progress. You also got along more harmoniously with your pet snake. Although you didn’t make much progress in the Hinayana animal taming technique, you had a deep understanding of the habits of this pet snake.)
(In the thirteenth year, you have been making food for your snake pets for a long time, which has enabled you to acquire a very good 'snake pet food' technique. You seem to have found some fun in practicing the Hinayana animal taming technique.)
(In the twenty-first year, your Hinayana animal taming technique finally made some progress. Your Hinayana animal taming technique reached the "minor success" stage. You found that the use of soul power in the Hinayana animal taming technique was very crude, so you tried to modify it.)
(In the fifty-ninth year, through your persistent exploration and practice, your ability to use soul power to communicate with your snake pets has greatly improved. Your Hinayana animal taming skills have been promoted to the "Great Accomplishment Realm.")
(In the sixty-fourth year, your pet snake died. You buried it on a mountain peak and continued to practice the Hinayana animal taming technique alone.)
"stop!"
Meng Xingchen stopped practicing inside the Killing God Pearl.
This practice gave him a deeper understanding of the "present-based" practice process of the Killing God Pearl.
A pet-like creature like this can accompany him in his cultivation within the Killing God Pearl within his lifespan.
Decades of cultivation inside the Killing God Pearl seem like just a moment in reality.
After interrupting his practice, Meng Xingchen started again.
(In the first year, you began to practice "Hinayana Animal Taming Technique." You seemed to have found... the Hinayana Guiding Technique of the Great Accomplishment Realm. It was difficult to make further progress, but you did not give up.)
(In the twenty-third year, you seem to have a new understanding. You continue to practice.)
(In the fifty-sixth year, you finally cultivated the Hinayana to perfection. You felt that this Hinayana beast taming technique was only a lower-level beast taming ability, so you chose to continue to optimize it.)
"stop!"
Meng Xingchen finally cultivated the Killing God Pearl.
Not surprisingly, this time, he practiced the "Hinayana Animal Taming Technique" which he knew nothing about, causing his accumulated lifespan to drop significantly.
It took a total of 120 years to finally cultivate it to perfection.
Many things in this world require talent.
For example, if you ask Tai Zheng to study the atomic bomb, I guess even if he studies it for a thousand years, there will be no results.
On the contrary, if you ask someone who studies atomic bombs to play boxing, it is estimated that he will never be able to get beyond the village level in his entire life.
……
Open your eyes and release the fingers that were pinching the little flower snake.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss..." The little flower snake spit out its tongue at him again, staring at him with its two vertical eyes, looking very ferocious.
Meng Xingchen looked at the little flower snake and smiled, then turned and walked out of the office.
It is already past six o'clock in the afternoon, and the restaurant at the action team's base has not yet started preparing dinner.
After the five members of the action team came back today, they all took the time to rest in their respective residences, preparing to go out for another mission after dinner at eight o'clock in the evening.
After greeting the restaurant chef, Meng Xingchen used the existing ingredients to make a "snake meal." He had done this countless times in the past 120 years, and it only took him a dozen minutes to complete.
When Ling Xiaozhe brought the snake meal back to the office, the small flower snake that had been lying down in his hand suddenly straightened up.
Ling Xiaozhe, who was holding it, also showed surprise in his eyes. He looked at the snake meal in Meng Xingchen's hand and asked, "What kind of food did you make? Xiaohua seems to want to eat it."
"It's made for it." Meng Xingchen smiled, bent down and put the plate on the ground.
Ling Xiaozhe also immediately put down the small flower snake in his hand. After the small flower snake landed on the ground, it suddenly jumped up and came directly to the plate. It opened its mouth, picked up a meatball-like food and swallowed it.
Meng Xingchen took the opportunity to reach out and slowly approach the little snake.
The little snake stared at him while swallowing the meatball.
Meng Xingchen concentrated his mental strength, and there seemed to be a trace of invisible force above his palm.
"Hiss..." The little flower snake seemed to sense the invisible force immediately. It shook its head to avoid Meng Xingchen's palm twice, and finally moved its head forward.
Ling Xiaozhe, who was watching from the side, had a look of extreme surprise in his eyes.
Under normal circumstances, the little flower snake would never allow anyone to touch it without her permission.
After placing his palm on the little flower snake's head and stroking it twice, Meng Xingchen stood up, pulled over a chair and sat down next to the office, and took the paper and pen that Ling Xiaozhe had used before to write.
"Xiaozhe, you have a strong talent as a beast tamer. But you only rely on your talent and ignore a lot of details." While writing down his understanding of the Hinayana beast taming technique, Meng Xingchen said to Ling Xiaozhe, "And your spiritual power talent has not yet been truly awakened. In the future, you must start with improving your physical fitness. How much is your punching power now?"
"236 kilograms." Ling Xiaozhe looked at the words written by Meng Xingchen and said, "Just measured this morning."
"Didn't you use the 'Body Tempering Potion' from the Hidden Dragon Mall?" Meng Xingchen asked.
"I used it." Ling Xiaozhe blushed. "The team leader specially applied for it for me. After using it, my physical condition improved rapidly for a period of time. After I finished using it, there was no improvement anymore."
"..."Meng Xingchen was speechless for a while.
The enhancing effect of the body-tempering potion is 10-30 kilograms of punching force per day. Even if the effect gradually decreases, it should be no problem to eventually grow to more than or kilograms of punching force.
Ling Xiaozhe's punching force is only 236 kilograms now. Could it be that before he used the body-hardening potion, his punching force was only to kilograms, or even to kilograms?
Isn't this pure "cat punch"?
The physical fitness of the future animal trainer is truly amazing.
It took Meng Xingchen more than an hour to write down part of his understanding of the Hinayana animal taming technique.
"Xiaozhe, my experience is very valuable." After writing it, Meng Xingchen handed it to Ling Xiaozhe and said, "Just study it by yourself, and don't show it to others. When you have finished learning, I will teach you the rest."
"Okay." Ling Xiaozhe immediately took it and read it carefully.
Meng Xingchen looked at the ground. The plate of snake food had long been eaten up by the little flower snake. At this moment, its body had become several times thicker and it was lazily dozing off at Ling Xiaozhe's feet.
Without disturbing Ling Xiaozhe from looking at his notes, Meng Xingchen left the office on his own.
He met up with Ye Zihong and the other two, had a meal outside, and then hurried back to the villa.
Tomorrow morning, they were going to get their cold weapons and go out on their second mission. So they would rest in the villa at night and make some specific combat plans.
The eighth day of the time travel was the most relaxing day for Meng Xingchen since the beginning of the time travel. He basically spent the day studying various materials.
