Compared to the ruthless Mo Cheng, Mo Lan cared more about his family, which was why Yun Meng chose to release his consciousness.
If it were Mo Cheng, knowing that Yun Meng wanted to learn about the barbarian race, he would probably only think about using this to exchange for his life and freedom, and even threatening him with the Mo family wouldn't be of much use.
Mo Lan organized his words slightly and slowly said, "Unlike the Northwest, the Northern Continent is mainly composed of grasslands, with endless grasslands everywhere.
"And the barbarians are the overlords of the Northern Continent. The entire barbarian race can be divided into ten original families, and all other small and medium-sized families are branches of these ten major families.
"These ten major families are further divided into the upper four and the lower six... The ten major families are not inherently stronger or weaker in terms of bloodline, but their strengths vary.
"'Mo' is also the surname of one of the ten major families in the grasslands. Our Mo family is a distant relative that has split off from them, I don't know how many generations ago.
"In the barbarian's major families, an adult ceremony is held at the age of twenty, and only warriors who have reached the Dou Master level are eligible to participate.
"The most important part of the adult ceremony is to merge with one's own magical beast partner.
"Every barbarian child's parents will prepare a newborn magical beast cub for him when he begins to practice Dou Qi.
"From the time he starts cultivating until the adult ceremony, these ten years or so, he will eat, sleep, cultivate, and grow with his magical beast partner, cultivating enough affection and understanding, until he merges with it at the adult ceremony.
"The secret technique is adapted to the barbarian bloodline, and only a sufficiently strong bloodline can bring it into play.
"The potential after fusion is related to one's own original bloodline power and the bloodline level of the fused magical beast.
"The stronger the bloodline power of the magical beast, the more difficult it is to fuse, and the higher the failure rate, but correspondingly, the greater the benefits after fusion."
Yun Meng raised his right hand and gently stroked his monocle, asking, "Then what about the magical beasts? What happens to the fused magical beasts? How are their consciousnesses handled?"
Mo Lan answered smoothly, "Their consciousnesses will also be integrated into the soul of the barbarian, becoming a part of them.
"In fact, the secret technique does not necessarily have to be used at the age of twenty. Some people do not have a suitable magical beast for a while, so they will choose to cultivate on their own, and only when they reach a bottleneck will they go to find a magical beast, kill it, and use the power of fusion to break through the bottleneck."
"In other words, the fusion target doesn't necessarily have to be a living magical beast, corpses, or even parts of corpses will do?" Yun Meng inferred.
"That's right, fusing corpses or partial limbs is the choice of most barbarians, and only a few genius disciples of major families can successfully pass it." Mo Lan nodded.
He continued, "Our family's magical beast limb transfer technique is adapted from a small fragment of the Mo family's secret technique, one of the ten major families in the Northern Continent.
"For small branches like our family, whose bloodline is almost so thin as to be non-existent, even the simplest fusion of partial limbs has a very high probability of failure...
"Of course, I'm talking about the situation in the Northern Continent when our Mo family first migrated to the Jia Ma Empire hundreds of years ago. What I'm telling you is also the original records of the family, and the situation may be very different now.
"After all, hundreds of years have passed. If there are any errors, please forgive me."
"I didn't expect you to give me too specific or practical information, just a general understanding is enough."
Yun Meng smiled, "Thank you for the information, then let's end here, I'm going back to Yunlan Mountain."
Mo Lan widened his eyes, seemingly unable to believe that the other party would let him go so easily.
"Heh, I said, I never lie. Since I promised to spare your family, I won't do it again! But you should know what should be said and what shouldn't be said, right?" The corner of Yun Meng's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a smile.
This smile made Mo Lan shudder, and he quickly piled on a smile and said, "Of course, sir."
Yun Meng suddenly asked, "Why did we have a conflict today?"
"Because you discovered that our Mo family was deceiving and embezzling the benefits that should have belonged to the Yunlan Sect." Mo Lan seemed to have already prepared his answer, and said it smoothly without stopping.
"Then why did we reconcile?"
"Because you saw that we had a good attitude in admitting our mistakes, so you only punished the ringleaders, and after killing the Great Elder, you gave us a chance to redeem ourselves."
"I'm not dead..." Amon said, using Mo Cheng's body.
"Remember, it's not killing, it's just a serious injury that needs to be recuperated."
Mo Lan immediately responded, "Yes, yes... Whatever you say, sir."
...
Yun Meng left the Mo family's secret room. He was quite satisfied with the gains from this trip. Although the Mo family's secret technique was extremely crude and almost useless, the information he obtained about the barbarian race made him feel quite important.
According to Mo Lan's description, the barbarian's secret technique of fusing magical beasts had something in common with his own "parasitism."
However, after his own "parasitism", both the Worm of Spirit and the host will no longer be able to continue to improve through normal cultivation methods, while the Northern Barbarian's secret technique can completely fuse the two, and the potential after fusion will be higher than any individual before.
"I don't know exactly what the similarities and differences are. If possible, maybe it can be combined with 'parasitism' to make my cultivation speed faster... Heh, interesting." Yun Meng took off the monocle made of crystal, wiped it with silk, and put it back on his right eye.
"Sir, are we going back to the sect now?" Seeing Mo Cheng and Mo Lan following behind Yun Meng like guards, Yun Leng wisely didn't ask the reason.
"Yes, I have already obtained what I wanted, and there is no need to stay any longer." Yun Meng said lightly.
They returned to the wooden house on the back of the Purple Winged Bird.
Yun Leng swiped his left hand over the ring on his right hand and took out a white bone whistle.
He mobilized a trace of Dou Qi and blew the whistle at a strange frequency.
After hearing it, the Purple Winged Bird tilted its head and thought for a while, then flapped its wings and soared into the sky.
Yancheng gradually became smaller and smaller in the field of vision, and was soon covered by clouds.
Although Amon was very curious about the barbarian's secret technique, he really couldn't spare any power to send to the Northern Continent.
Yun Shan, Yun Lan Sect's Amon, Wu Tan City's Amon, the eastern part of the Monster Mountain Range's Amon, and some Amon who went to the Black Corner Region, the Izumo Empire, and the Heavenly Snake Mansion... Many Amon even squeezed out the places around the main body used to assist in cultivation.
"The main body is still a bit weak... The limitation of the overall amount is relatively large. Wait a little longer... Everything still needs patience." Yun Meng stood in front of the window, gazing at the distant sky with deep eyes.
