Chapter 206: 206 Who says the Cultivation Techniques of Hundred Flower Valley are chicken ribs
"What does it look like after it Transforms? Is it attractive?" [Mountain Tiger] chose to ignore the words about being torn to pieces.
A Player's life was worth peanuts. If one could trade their life for a pet that was both offensive and visually pleasing, dying a few times was definitely worth it.
"A dark, muscular man, two meters tall," Ge Feiyun answered, exasperation clear on her face. She thought for a moment and added, "He has a sturdy build, a frightful countenance, broad square ears, a green face, fangs, and a palm-wide patch of coarse chest hair..."
The Players' discussion about whether a bear-eared lady or a wolf-eared lady was cuter abruptly stopped.
"A two-meter-tall, dark, muscular man, huh!" [Mountain Tiger] looked at the Bear Demon, the enthusiasm in his eyes visibly receding, replaced by disappointment. He sighed, "You Bear Demon, you truly don't understand what's trendy. What a waste of a Transformation! Monsters like you that fail to study human psychology are destined to be left behind by the times... What a pity, such a pity!"
Pity my ass! If you dare remove the restriction on me, don't be surprised when you turn into fresh bear droppings the next day!
The Bear Demon glared at [Mountain Tiger], a reflexive growl rumbling in its throat, clearly enraged to the extreme. The idea of a beast-eared lady was the ultimate insult to it...
"Lin, the Storekeeper, can Monsters Transform a second time?" An idea suddenly struck [Mountain Tiger]. "For instance, if we knock it back to its original form, feed it another Transformation Pill, and let it Transform again..."
"..." Ge Feiyun, Xin Shang, and the others looked strangely at the heaven-sent people, puzzled as to why these individuals were so fixated on beast-eared ladies.
With such excellent aptitude, why waste their efforts on such useless pursuits? Wouldn't it be better to spend more time on cultivation?
"Such a vicious thought! This old bear would rather die than Transform into a beast-eared lady..." The Bear Demon struggled fiercely, roaring in rage. "You foolish human, don't you dare give me a chance! If you do, I swear I'll treat you like a female bear and mate with you for three days and three nights..."
"Don't you find them terribly smelly?" Lin Bai looked at the Players strangely, as if he had discovered a new way to manipulate them. Dangling a Transformation Pill in front of them would be enough to make them diligently do anything! The ultimate use of the Pet System was right here... Actually, just moments ago, he had been planning to extract essence from several Monsters to complete a task for the Cooking God System. Bear paws, wolf hearts, and such should count as rare ingredients, right? Glistening food might not sound that useful now, but who knows what good things it could lead to in the future!
"The smell is because they don't keep clean. Regular baths and diligent teeth brushing will eliminate the odor," [Mountain Tiger] said.
"Theoretically, it's feasible," Lin Bai said. "However, Transformation usually aligns with their own desires. If you want it to become what you envision, you first need its approval."
"I almost forgot about that." The Bear Demon sneered, "You can give up on that idea. Even if my Realm drops and I undergo a second Transformation, I still won't become some beast-eared lady."
"Exactly, exactly!" The Wolf Demon, Pig Demon, and a few other dimwitted demons chimed in, as if they were the victors.
"Ah, that's true!" [Mountain Tiger]'s spirits sank again, but he wasn't ready to give up. "Lin, the Storekeeper, if I can persuade them, would you consider granting us Transformation Pills?"
"It will still depend on your contribution level." Lin Bai glanced at him and said, "Transformation Pills are precious; I won't give them to you for free."
"As long as there's a chance, that's enough!" [Mountain Tiger] said excitedly. "Lin, the Storekeeper, whatever tasks you have, just assign them to us. I don't ask for anything else, just one Transformation Pill."
"No problem." Lin Bai nodded with a smile. "Then, these few are yours to tame!"
"Great!" [Mountain Tiger] agreed readily.
Even if Lin Bai hadn't said it, they would have volunteered for this task anyway. Otherwise, even if they obtained Transformation Pills in the future, it would be a waste if these creatures refused to cooperate!
The Bear Demon and other Monsters, as if seeing their tragic fate unfold, became agitated and began cursing vehemently at the Players.
Lin Bai glanced at the few Monsters and said, "I suggest you form a pet taming team, specifically responsible for the taming of Demon Beasts and their ideological guidance."
"We will, we will," [Mountain Tiger] said, looking at the Bear Demon, rubbing his hands together and chuckling insidiously.
Xin Shang and the others wore strange expressions, suddenly understanding why the heaven-sent people could be won over by Lin Bai. These people were fundamentally on the same wavelength.
Moreover, compared to these heaven-sent people, Lin Bai was even more outrageous.
"Lin, the Storekeeper, we'll take them away then!" [Mountain Tiger] reached out to pat the Bear Demon's head. The Bear Demon snapped at his hand, but he deftly dodged it. "Sweetheart, you'd better behave. Otherwise, if you end up in the hands of Lin, the Storekeeper, your fate will be much worse..."
"..." Lin Bai's face darkened. So, your method of taming Demon Beasts is to make me the villain? He snorted in annoyance and played along, "Correct. I originally planned to use them as ingredients. By the way, Sect Leader Xin, since you're free anyway, could I trouble you to find some untamed wild beasts in the mountains? I'll cook a delicious meal for everyone. To tell you the truth, I also cultivate the Way of Cooking. If any of you wish to learn, I can teach you. Food is paramount to the people. With mastery in the Way of Cooking, one can cook anything..."
The Bear Demon froze.
Xin Shang and the others were driven to distraction, staring dumbfounded at Lin Bai. Is this guy serious? So, everything he does is a form of cultivation?!
Although reluctant, Xin Shang still accepted the task. He had plenty of Disciples in his sect; catching some wild beasts wouldn't require him to act personally.
He wanted to see, what was this Way of Cooking? Capable of cooking anything? PAH! Even if one mastered this damn Cultivation Rule, could they really turn an opponent into a dish during a fight?
"Mountain Tiger, doesn't the Hundred Flower Valley's Cultivation Technique allow for Shaping? You can try to persuade the Bear Demon and the others to switch to practicing the Hundred Flower Valley's techniques. Perhaps they can become what you hope for," Lin Bai kindly offered a suggestion to the few Players who were teasing the Demon Beasts, after he finished instructing Xin Shang.
"Brilliant!" [Mountain Tiger]'s eyes lit up instantly. He immediately turned to Jiang Yuru. "Senior Jiang, the Justice League is one big family. If I can persuade them, could I trouble you to teach them the Hundred Flower Valley's cultivation method..."
THE NERVE!
Jiang Yuru's face turned dark, feeling immensely insulted. The Hundred Flower Valley's Cultivation Techniques were always their pride, yet Lin Bai intended to use them for taming beasts. How dared he?
"Imparting the technique isn't an issue," Jiang Yuru said coldly, her face still dark. "However, with the Hundred Flower Valley's Cultivation Technique, one can perform Shaping once at the Golden Core Cultivation. At the Divinity Transformation realm, one can perform Shaping again. Moreover, they must be in human form to cultivate. These great demons are already at the Golden Core realm; it might take hundreds of years for them to achieve Divinity Transformation. Can you wait that long?"
"Well, let's give it a try!" [Mountain Tiger] chuckled. "Aren't we going to attack Medicine King Valley? If worse comes to worst, we can use Pill Medicines to forcibly raise their cultivation levels."
Pill Medicine?
Upon hearing these two words, the Bear Demon and the other demons exchanged glances, then all fell silent simultaneously.
Having cultivated for thousands of years, they naturally understood the miraculous effects of human Pill Medicines. Their cultivation relied on absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, or, by a stroke of luck, finding a heavenly treasure. Compared to humans, their progress was incredibly slow, which was why they were constantly suppressed by humans. If they could have Pill Medicines to enhance their cultivation, feigning agreement wouldn't hurt. When it came to Shaping, at worst, they could still follow their own desires. Once they reached the Realm of Soul Transformation, wouldn't they be able to deal with these few perverts? In the same realm, the combat power of demons was several grades higher than that of humans...
"Shaping is different from Transforming. It can only slightly affect one's figure and appearance. Wanting to become a beast-eared beauty like Little White Fox is likely impossible through this method." Jiang Yuru attempted to dissuade the heaven-sent people from their idea of having the Demon Beasts cultivate the Hundred Flower Valley techniques. It wasn't that she feared the techniques being leaked; she simply couldn't accept allowing a group of Demon Beasts to undergo Shaping merely to satisfy the perverse tastes of these heaven-sent people.
"No matter, let's just try! If the form from the Transformation Pill isn't aesthetically pleasing, Shaping can still be used for modifications!" [Mountain Tiger] was exceptionally persistent.
Originally, he thought the Hundred Flower Valley's techniques held little attraction for Players. After all, Players could already customize their appearance. He hadn't understood the significance of the game developers creating such a Sect. Now, he finally got it. There were no useless Skills. The game developers had clearly considered things far more comprehensively than they had.
