If I let you become a druid, would you join the Demon Sect?

Chapter 21: Dog Training Techniques, Four Secret Books

This strange technique is weird and magical.

In fact, after the Gu family obtained this special skill, they never made full use of it.

Including Gu Yan, everyone only stopped at the first step.

The technique consists of three steps:
The first step is to open your soul!
Choose a puppy no older than two months old, mix the root of the mountain, dead face grass, ghost face spider and a drop of blood from the fingertip, in that order, and mix it into the food. Do this every day for a month, and this will open the puppy's spirit, make it understand human nature, and make it dependent on the owner of the blood.

These materials are difficult to find and cost a lot of money.

But it's not difficult to make.

Gu Yan cultivated Ba Liang by following this procedure.

He fed the baby for more than two months, but when he saw that Balian was completely unable to communicate except for howling, he gave up and did not proceed with the next steps.

In fact, at this stage, the dog bred is already quite good.

Imagine a dog with human intelligence thrown into the mountains. Just by looking for herbs, it can make people rich, not to mention the ability to provide early warning, tracking, and command dog packs in combat.

But this is only the first step.

The second step is called nourishing blood.

At this step, the materials become increasingly valuable, and a large number of wild animal body parts need to be mixed in.

It also takes a month.

After the training is completed, the potential of the dog's body will be greatly improved. When it reaches adulthood, it will have combat power comparable to that of a tiger, and its lifespan will be greatly increased, surpassing that of ordinary mortal dogs.

Gu Yan did some calculations.

If you follow the instructions of the strange technique, it will cost at least a thousand silver taels to complete this step for a dog.

An ordinary family of three who earns ten taels of silver a year is considered a well-off family and can live a good life.

千两
Even Gu Yan's grandfather's generation, at their wealthiest, could not reach this level. Later, his grandfather became addicted to gambling, so he had no chance to try subsequent training.

As for Gu Yan
He actually wanted to do the same to Ba Liang.

The problem was that this stupid dog was pretending to be stupid, making him think that it was useless. In addition, since they were inside the temple, it was inconvenient to travel. He was also immersed in cultivation at the time and simply did not proceed with the next steps.

Now that we have missed the growth period, it’s useless to do it anymore.

Thinking of this, Gu Yan couldn't help but pat Ba Liang's fat T again: "Silly dog!"

Then again.

In fact, if Ba Liang didn't pretend to be stupid, Gu Yan would not be able to complete the third step of cultivation.

The third step of the strange art is called bone shedding.

This step is the one that Gu Yan cannot understand the most.

In the first two steps, the materials may be uncommon, strange, or precious, but at least they can be found.

The third step required materials. Except for some rare and highly poisonous items, he had asked some places like pharmacies about the remaining things, such as Yin monkey bones and happy snake teeth, but they had never been heard of.

Except these.

A bowl of the owner's heart blood, that is, blood from the fingertips, is also provided and mixed into the ingredients.

One serving per day.

Thirty days in a row.

The effect of the third step is incredible.

Complete this step.

As long as the bred dogs are not dead, they can be reborn with bones of steel and iron, grow some organs that they did not originally have, and possess some magical abilities. The dogs can also be connected with their owners' minds as if they were one.

Looks tempting.

But
Not to mention the difficulty of getting the materials.

A bowl of blood every day for 30 days
Not to mention ordinary people, even Gu Yan, with his current physical strength and recovery ability, would not dare to do this.

Blood is the essence of human beings.

Such a large amount of bleeding can be fatal.

Even if he doesn't die, he will become a disabled person.

Not to mention the risk of failure.

"Forget it. I'm growing too fast. By the time I'm able to collect those materials, I might already be using druid techniques to breed special beasts, or even transform myself into a beast. I won't need this magic at all. As for Ba Liang, I'll just keep him for fun."

Gu Yan shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

He simply took out the several secret books given to him by his master and started studying them.

Daozhen is very thoughtful.

He prepared four different but mutually compatible secret manuals for Gu Yan. The key was that these secret manuals could be mastered quickly for Gu Yan.

The first one is a short-range burst of physical skills, named "A Fleeting Moment".

According to the description in the secret manual, once this skill is perfected, one can leap five or six feet, as fast as a flash of lightning. It is very effective in killing people or escaping from the battlefield, but it puts a lot of pressure on the legs and is difficult to sustain.

"One zhang and three meters, five or six zhang, that's almost twenty meters. It's really amazing, almost catching up with my running speed."

Gu Yan carefully read the secret book.

This secret practice is similar to "Xuanwu True Body", but it is much simpler and more targeted at training the leg area. In essence, it is a way to temper the body area and then control the use of a certain force.

The "Xuanwu True Body" he practiced tempered the whole body, which naturally included the legs.

Now, following the method in the secret book and slightly changing the way he exerted force, Gu Yan immediately got the hang of it.

That is to say, it is not convenient to perform on the boat.

Otherwise, Gu Yan felt that he could use the "Time Passing" movement technique right now.

Once you understand one thing, you will understand everything. That’s how it is.

Not only that.

He has strong physical fitness.

If an ordinary extreme warrior practices this kind of martial arts and reaches perfection, he can jump a distance of five or six feet. But if he performs this, he can probably jump more than ten feet. It is a completely different level.

The second secret book is also about body movements, named "Golden Swallow Kung Fu".

However, this secret book focuses on long-distance raids, crossing mountains, wading through water, reducing terrain interference, and traveling thousands of miles a day.

Similar to the previous one.

Although this secret book also contains methods for tempering muscles and bones, Gu Yan is completely unable to use it.

He directly found the method of activating the force and studied it.

This time, because it contains a lot of clever techniques, it is a little more difficult than the previous secret book.

After experimenting for more than a dozen times, Gu Yan finally found a little feeling.

This body movement technique is more practical for him, because it contains many clever techniques, and can even allow people to walk on water. It is somewhat similar to the light work in TV dramas in his previous life, but it does not have the lightness and agility of flying in his previous life.

The third secret book is a technique called "The Hand of Separating Muscles, Distorting Bones and Taking Pulses".

This secret book is the thickest of the four, and is filled with diagrams of human anatomy, annotations of acupuncture points, nerve distribution, and a large amount of annotations on the routes and functions of qi and blood circulation.
The technique is also extremely cruel.

Either the tendons and bones are broken, or the qi channels are cut off, causing the blood to flow backwards and partial disability.

Moreover, it specifically targets the most painful areas of a person, and is extremely vicious.

Gu Yan actually likes this martial art very much.

This martial art has many wonderful uses. It can not only be used to kill enemies, but also for interrogation. Hitting some acupoints can make people feel weak all over and faint directly. It can even be used to give people massage, which has endless uses.

He read it over and over again, and the more he read, the more he itched he became. He wished he could put a bad guy in front of him right away so that he could practice it himself.

Unfortunately, there is no human, but there is a dog.
Dog. Not a bad idea.

Gu Yan stood up and was about to stretch out his evil hands towards Ba Liang, but he saw the silly dog, sensing Gu Yan's departure, rubbed against him in his sleep, and only began to snore peacefully again when it was close to his body.
How could he do this?

"Well, I can only wait for the right person to bring it to me."

Gu Yan lay down again, resisting the urge to touch his hands, and picked up the last secret book to read.

The last secret book is called "Nianhua Jin".

Looking at the name, Gu Yan thought it was a finger technique, but after flipping through it, he found out that it was a hidden weapon technique.

Pinching flowers requires skill and softness.

After mastering this technique, one can pick leaves and injure people within several feet.

Of course, this is just a metaphor.

Apart from showing off, which good person would use leaves to hurt others?

Gu Yan tried this secret technique for a long time, but he still felt uncomfortable.

He was used to strong force, and now changing to soft force was much more difficult than the "Golden Swallow Kung Fu" just now. He tried it dozens of times, but still could not find the feeling, and it was very awkward.

"Well, it's just that I'm too upright and can't be gentle."

Gu Yan sighed, pulled a dog hair from Balian, and practiced perseveringly.

At this time, in Huangtu Town, hundreds of miles away.

An old man and a young boy, holding a fortune-telling banner, came to the suburbs outside Huangtu Town.

Their destination was the area where Taoist Nian Yun disappeared.
