Chapter 382: Chapter 23 Demon Beast Subdued, Skill Mastery_2

The name above turned green in an instant.

But that wasn’t enough.

"How do I know you won’t betray me in the future? Rather than leaving a hidden danger, it’s better to just chop it off..."

"Wuwuwu, Master, please no, I, Big Orange, swear by the Blood Oath, I will never betray my master in this life, or else I shall die without a burial place, and be eaten by wild dogs after death."

[System Prompt: Your pet’s Loyalty has increased, it is now 100 (Absolute Obedience).]

"Hmph, that’s more like it. Eat this and get up quickly." Xiao Jie tossed a piece of Secret Dog Food, watching as Big Orange ate the Dog Food, its Blood Volume restored, and after the Limb Cutting time ended, its four legs grew back again.

[System Prompt: Your ’Enlightenment’ state has been triggered, you have gained a ’Satori’!]

Xiao Jie clicked on the Satori icon.

[System Prompt: Through your interactions with the demon beasts, you have gradually come to understand their nature and had a Satori on how to better Tame them, Satori Skill—Beast Knowledge: Demon Beast Chapter.]

Xiao Jie clicked on the Skill to take a look.

[Beast Knowledge: Demon Beast Chapter (Knowledge Skill)

Passive Effect: Enables you to Tame demon beasts as pets, your Beast Recognition Skill can now be used on demon beasts.

Skill Description: To dominate or to be devoured, to rule with bloodlust and cruelty. This is the way of survival for demon beasts. Only by suppressing them with overwhelming combat strength can demon beasts be intimidated and obey orders.]

Not bad, not bad, got a Beast Knowledge for free.

Xiao Jie heaved a sigh of relief inwardly, well worth his complicated manipulations.

Carrying Big Orange on his journey back to Ten Thousand Beasts Manor, as soon as they entered the manor, the pair immediately drew many surprised gazes.

"Damn, is that a demon beast?"

"For real, a Level 10 demon beast? That’s amazing."

"Bro, where did you catch this demon beast? Can you tell me? I’ll pay for the information."

Xiao Jie ignored those people and went straight to the steward.

"I’ve made up my mind, I want to exchange my reward for [Beast Knowledge: Immortal Beast Chapter]."

The steward glanced at Big Orange standing behind Xiao Jie, an astonished look appearing on his face, but he still nodded and said, "Since you’ve made this choice, I’ll hand it to you."

With that, he handed a book to Xiao Jie.

[Beast Knowledge: Immortal Beast Chapter (Knowledge Book)

Learning Requirements: Beast Knowledge, comprehension 12.

Book Description: One volume of the advanced Chapter of Beast Knowledge, authored by Ten Thousand Beasts Manor, that allows you to understand more about special beasts.]

Xiao Jie immediately learned it.

A white flash, and a few more Skills appeared in the Skill Bar.

With that done, Xiao Jie left at once.

There was still much to do after all.

————————

Back in Xiaofeng City, Xiao Jie first made a round at the postal station.

Unfortunately, there were no letters for Profession quests posted.

Xiao Jie stood at the entrance of the postal station, thinking it was quite strange; he should have received a Profession quest long ago since he had changed his Profession to Ancient Qi Refiner by now.

Could it be because the Profession of Ancient Qi Refiner was special?

According to the plot, each Profession would have its quests distributed by the guild it belonged to; for example, the Beast Tamer’s quests were dispatched by Ten Thousand Beasts Manor.

Assassin’s quests were usually dispatched by Mo Ying Hall.

Swordman’s quests came from the Swordsmanship Sect or Martial Arts Academy Head in the State Mansion.

So, the Ancient Qi Refiner’s quests, in theory, should also be dispatched by the Qi Refiner Organization, but the problem is that the Ancient Qi Refiners have almost disappeared, leaving just two remaining, one of which is him, the other being Red Dust Taoist—could it be that he should wait for the Red Dust Taoist to send quests?

Did he not receive a quest because all the Ancient Qi Refiners had died out, or because there was no postal service on Konglao Mountain to deliver letters?

But since it’s a game, typically gameplay should take precedence over the narrative; it’s impossible not to provide a Profession quest, right?

Maybe he should come back and check again in a few days.

Xiao Jie left the postal station and headed straight for the auction house.

Upon arriving at the auction house, he checked the materials he had consigned for sale. They had mostly sold over two days. Counting the savings in his bag, Xiao Jie successfully accumulated one hundred silver coins, and it was time to buy an Advanced Body Technique Skill.

He immediately started searching in the auction house.

Ground Roll: 2 taels.

Hawk Roll: 5 taels.

Empty Inverted Handstand: 6 taels.

Assassin’s Step: 10 taels... Xiao Jie quickly scrolled down, these basic movement techniques while fighting low-level Little Monsters were okay, but were not much use against those bosses with wide attacking ranges or against magic Skills with area attacks.

Xiao Jie pulled straight to the bottom where the High-level body movement Skills were. The cheapest of these types of Skills were tens of taels each. As an immediate life-saving Skill in combat, High-level body movement Skills were priced much higher than Normal combat Skills and sometimes even higher than Advanced Martial Arts.

Illusion Sky Confusing Heart Step: 45 taels.

Seven Stars Step: 50 taels.

Divine Stepping Wind Style: 60 taels.

Cloud Nine Transformations: 120 taels.

Xiao Jie checked the effects of these Cultivation Techniques.

Oh, this one isn’t bad.

[Residual Shadow Steps (body movement skill)

Use: Move at an extremely fast speed up to 10.4 meters parallel (Agility x 2), if your Agility exceeds 50, you will produce residual images during the move. Consumes 40 Energy points and 20 Inner Power Value.

Learning Requirement: Agility 40, comprehension 20, Inner Power Mastery.

Skill Description: This lightweight body technique was used by Duan Wuya, the assassin from Picking Star Tower. It is said to be a legacy from an ancient assassin sect. After Duan Wuya retired from the worldly society, occasionally some remnants of the technique would circulate around; those with high comprehension might learn a thing or two.]

What’s good about this Skill is that it’s similar to Phantom Traceless, with its straightforward, fast movement and residual image effects. When used together, it can further increase confusion.
