Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16311

Chapter 16309. The Myriad Beasts Sect

“Hahaha, old friend, how long has it been since we last met? Decades, right? I didn’t expect you, this rat, to still be alive.” The speaker was an old man who looked to be over seventy years old. His hair and beard were already white, but the old man had a very imposing appearance. He had a long face, a head of messy hair, and a very long beard. He was wearing a black robe, and standing there, he looked like an old male lion.

This person was none other than Qin Wuyou, the Supreme Elder of the Myriad Beasts Sect. The Myriad Beasts Sect was a beast-taming sect in the Divine Kingdom. Generally speaking, sects like the Beast Taming Sect often had questionable combat strength because their fighting style was heavily reliant on the demonic beasts they raised. Stronger beasts meant stronger combat power, and weaker beasts meant weaker combat power. This wasn’t due to a lack of talent, but rather because cultivators had limited energy. Raising a demonic beast required a significant investment of time, effort, and resources, inevitably impacting their cultivation speed. Therefore, the combat strength of beast tamers was often compromised. One might

wonder, if beast taming had such issues, why did a sect like the Myriad Beasts Sect exist specifically for this purpose? This involves the issue of cost-effectiveness.

Many people mistakenly believe that raising demonic beasts requires vast resources, so disciples of the Beast Taming Sect, to develop combat power, would need even more resources, making their cost-effectiveness much lower than that of ordinary sects.

However, they were mistaken. While it’s true that beast-taming sects need a large amount of resources to raise a single demon beast, the resources they require are completely different from those provided to cultivators by ordinary sects. Ordinary sects also need a large amount of resources to train a single disciple, and these resources are not static but need to be adjusted gradually; the stronger the disciple, the higher the level of resources required—a common phenomenon across all sects.

However, the situation is entirely different for beast-taming sects. The resources needed to raise demon beasts are different from those needed to train cultivators. For example, beast-taming sects only need some grass to raise ordinary herbivorous demon beasts—a specially cultivated type containing spiritual energy. However, the yield of this grass is much higher than that of spirit rice, and its requirements for spiritual fields are much lower. Therefore, raising a herbivorous demon beast doesn’t actually require many resources. Of course, generally speaking, except for a few specific types, most herbivorous demon beasts… Unsuitable for war beasts, most herbivorous demonic beasts are bred for only two purposes: First, to become food for carnivorous demonic beasts. Carnivorous demonic beasts are stronger in combat and more suitable as war beasts, so most war beasts are carnivorous. Since carnivorous demonic beasts need food, herbivorous demonic beasts grow quickly and are cheaper to raise, naturally becoming their prey. Second, to become food for cultivators. Herbivorous demonic beasts eat only spiritual herbs, so their bodies contain higher levels of spiritual energy, making them suitable food for cultivators. This is a significant source of income for Beast Taming Sects.

Because of this, the resources required for a Beast Taming Sect to raise a war beast are actually much lower than people imagine. Therefore, the cost-effectiveness of Beast Taming Sects in cultivation is much higher than that of ordinary cultivators. It is precisely because of this cost-effectiveness that Beast Taming Sects have continued to exist.

Besides their cost-effectiveness, Beast Taming Sects have another advantage that ordinary cultivation sects can’t match: survivability. Beast Taming Sect members typically possess a natal beast, and their lives are intertwined, allowing damage to be transferred between them. Therefore, disciples of Beast Taming Sects generally have much stronger survivability than ordinary cultivators, essentially having two lives.

It’s precisely because of these advantages that Beast Taming Sects have always existed in the cultivation world. Some might ask, if Beast Taming Sects truly have so many advantages, then why are most sects in the cultivation world still ordinary cultivation sects, instead of Beast Taming Sects?

This question is actually quite simple, for two reasons. First, beast taming also requires skill. Beast taming sects, raising demonic beasts, and training battle beasts all require technical expertise. Under normal circumstances, beast taming sects don’t pass on these skills to outsiders, creating a technological barrier. Breaking through this barrier is extremely difficult. Now there are other cultivation methods that can help you improve your strength, even achieve immortality, and in terms of combat power, they might even be stronger than those of beast taming sects. So, would you still only think about beast taming? Strictly speaking, the threshold for cultivation as a cultivator is lower than that for beast taming, so it’s normal that there are many ordinary cultivator sects.

Secondly, there’s the issue of talent. Not all cultivation sects are like the Blood Slaughter Sect. The Blood Slaughter Sect doesn’t consider talent because they can cultivate anyone’s talent. They have cultivation techniques suitable for people of all talents, and they have endless resources to nurture everyone. However, ordinary sects don’t have this ability. Beast Taming Sects also require talent. If your talent isn’t suitable for cultivating beast taming techniques, then of course you can’t join a beast taming sect. This is the problem of talent, which is unsolvable. Therefore, cultivators naturally have to find another path, and cultivating other techniques is perfectly normal.

The Myriad Beasts Sect is a beast taming sect, but they aren’t a large one; they’re only considered a medium-sized one. Qin Wuyou is the Supreme Elder of the Myriad Beasts Sect.

Standing opposite Qin Wuyou is a thin and small cultivator. This cultivator is only a little over three feet tall, less than four feet, looking like a child. His appearance is also weasel-faced and quite ugly.

He was dressed in gray clothes, and looked like an ordinary rogue cultivator, but his eyes were gleaming with a sharp light, and it was clear that he was a very shrewd person. He looked to be in his sixties or seventies. Although his hair and beard were still black, his face was already wrinkled, and it was clear that he was not young.

This man, named Su Feng, was a rogue cultivator. In his youth, he had a fortuitous encounter, receiving the inheritance of a beast-taming cultivator. By chance, he acquired a rare beast called the Sky-Piercing Rat, a very rare space-type demonic beast. He made this beast his natal beast, which caused his cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds, eventually making him a kingdom-level expert. It was also by chance that he met Qin Wuyou. Although one was a rogue cultivator and the other came from a sect, one was tall and mighty and the other was thin and frail, they became good friends. However, later, as their strength increased, Qin Wuyou had to stay at the Myriad Beasts Sect to oversee things, so their opportunities to meet became less frequent.

Qin Wuyou had previously wanted to introduce Su Feng to join the Myriad Beasts Sect, but Su Feng refused. Qin Wuyou didn’t force him, knowing that Su Feng valued freedom and joining a sect would mean staying within the Myriad Beasts Sect, which Su Feng didn’t like, and Qin Wuyou didn’t want to put him in a difficult position.

Unexpectedly, Su Feng actually came to see Qin Wuyou today. Qin Wuyou had been waiting at the teleportation array since receiving Su Feng’s letter, so as soon as he saw Su Feng come out, he couldn’t help but tease his old friend a couple of times.

If anyone else had dared to call Su Feng a rat, Su Feng would have already taken action, but since it was Qin Wuyou who spoke, Su Feng wasn’t angry at all. He laughed heartily and said, “You’re not dead, so how could I be? I had nothing to do today, so I came to have a drink with you.”

Qin Wuyou stepped forward, looked down at Su Feng, then bent down, stretched out his arms, and hugged Su Feng tightly. Afterward, the two separated, and Qin Wuyou carefully examined Su Feng before saying, “You’ve been living quite comfortably these past few years. Come on, let’s go to my place first, and we can sit down and chat slowly.” After saying that, he turned and walked back, and Su Feng followed him, the two of them walking together towards Qin Wuyou’s house.

The two quickly arrived at the Qin family residence. The Qin family was a prominent clan within the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. While it hadn’t always been a major clan, its influence grew after Qin Wuyou became a Kingdom-level expert. Qin Wuyou had his own courtyard, which he preferred to keep quiet in a relatively secluded spot within the Qin family compound. The Qin family rarely sent people there; besides himself and an old servant, there was no one else in his courtyard.

Qin Wuyou led Su Feng to his courtyard, where the old servant was already waiting. Upon seeing Su Feng, he bowed and said, “Greetings, Master Su.” This old servant had been with Qin Wuyou since childhood, so he recognized Su Feng.

Su Feng smiled and said, “Old Fang, you still look quite energetic. Go and get us some dishes so we can have a good drink.”

The old servant, Qin Fang, immediately smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Master Su, the dishes have been prepared long ago. Please, Master Su.”

After saying that, they walked into the room, which was indeed already prepared. There weren’t many things prepared, just an eight-immortal table with a small jade pot in the middle. Hot soup was constantly boiling in the pot, and the soup was milky white and gave off a rich aroma.

Several plates were set on the table, each containing thin slices of meat, along with two sets of bowls and chopsticks. After Qin Wuyou and Su Feng sat down, Su Feng took out a jar of wine and placed it on the table, then said to Qin Wuyou, “This is some good new wine, let’s try it together.”

Qin Wuyou smiled and said, “Sure, if you say it’s good wine, then it must be good. Let’s try it.”

Qin Fang then stepped forward, broke the clay seal on the wine jar, poured a cup for each of them, and then stepped aside. Su Feng and Qin Wuyou simultaneously picked up their wine cups, clinked them together, and downed the wine in one gulp. Qin Wuyou’s eyes lit up, then he put down his cup, exhaled a puff of wine breath, and said, “Good wine, indeed good wine. It has a cool, refreshing feel when you drink it, but once it goes down, it feels like a fire suddenly ignites in your stomach, and then the warmth spreads throughout your body, as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring. It’s truly good wine.”
