I'm just a swineherd, not a beastmaster.

Under Yuan Feng's leadership, Zhao Muxin and Hu Jiuer finally ate to their heart's content.

However, compared to Yuan Feng, the movements of the two were obviously much more elegant.

During this time, Wang Weichang kept asking the kitchen to add more dishes. Only when Yuan Feng could no longer eat, did he stop.

"Okay, I'm already 80% full, time to talk about taming beasts." Yuan Feng said, patting his belly.

Wang Weichang's mouth twitched as he watched... His stomach was bulging, was this called eight-tenths full? He almost exhausted the family's cook. I don't know what this kid's stomach is made of, it can hold so much.

What surprised Wang Weichang even more was that Hu Jiuer, who was sitting next to him, had such a thin waist, but could eat so much. She ate five roast chickens and her stomach was still full.

What a hell.

Even though he was surprised, Wang Weichang still put on a smile and said, "As long as you are satisfied, come often if you have the chance. Wencai, come and take you to the backyard to see the spirit beast I gave you."

Wang Wencai had already discussed this with him, and he understood what he meant, so he hurried forward and said, "Little brother, follow me."

Yuan Feng glanced at Wang Wencai, was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but complain in his heart: "He is so big, he shouldn't be called Wencai, he should be called Xiaozhuang."

Wang Wencai obviously had no idea what Yuan Feng was thinking, and he happily led the way ahead.

"Look, little brother. This first-level female treasure tailed beast is for you."

Wang Wencai pointed at a spirit beast in the fence that looked like both a dog and a fox.

Baowei Beast is about the same size as a domestic dog, with bright white fur and sparkling eyes, but its name doesn't quite match up with its appearance.

"Where's the tail?" Yuan Feng asked, pointing at the bald, thumb-sized tail of the Baowei Beast.

This tail is so small and has no hair at all, how can it be called a treasure-tailed beast?

Even this is called the Treasure Tailed Beast. Monks should not be called bald donkeys, so just call them donkeys.

"Little brother, you may not know that the purpose of raising this treasure-tailed beast is to get its tail hair. One or two hairs are equivalent to a spiritual stone and are very valuable. The first hair of this treasure-tailed beast has been shaved off. It will take at least half a year for the next hair to grow out."

One or two cents and a spirit stone?

If converted, one spirit stone is worth one thousand and two taels of silver.

Wow... Yuan Feng was shocked. This dog, no, this treasure-tailed beast, is simply a money-making machine.

Such a precious spiritual beast is given to me. It seems that the Wang family is very thoughtful.

Thinking of this, Yuan Feng panicked a little.

I came here just to take advantage of some small benefits. After all, if you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you'd be a fool. Who would have thought that the benefits would become bigger and bigger.

He was a little afraid that it wouldn't end well.

"This spiritual beast is so valuable, giving it to me? Isn't that a bad idea?"

"You're welcome, little brother. This is my apology gift to you. After all, I did offend you. Besides, this is not expensive. If you want to grow tail hair for the treasure-tailed beast, the resources you need to spend are not a small amount. If you don't raise it well, you may even lose money."

Then I can’t compensate you... Yuan Feng is confident that if he can’t raise it, he can release it.

Release: give up life, light a fire.

Yuan Feng lived in the mountains and occasionally went hunting. When he was craving for food, he would often release the animals without any psychological burden.

"What if we raise them? Where can we sell the fur after we cut it?" This is the question that Yuan Feng is most concerned about.

No matter how good something is, if it can't be sold it's no different from garbage.

"If you trust my Wang family, you can let us buy it. We will definitely pay the highest price in the market. If you don't trust me, you can just find a spirit beast market and sell it easily."

"That's great. When I raise the animal and cut its fur, I'll sell it to you."

"Thank you for your trust, little brother."

Wang Wencai smiled on the surface, but he couldn't help sneering in his heart.

The treasure-tailed beast is known to be difficult to raise. If it is raised by an inexperienced beastmaster, the tail hair that grows will definitely be of poor quality and cannot be sold at a high price.

It was only Uncle San who told him that this kid was useful, otherwise the Wang family would definitely not be willing to accept the tail hair he raised.

"My third uncle has instructed that this is the experience of taming beasts for you, little brother. It is the important experience summarized by our Wang family's ancestors. You can also take these brushes and cinnabar."

Yuan Feng accepted the idea, but what about this cinnabar for the brush?

"What are these brushes and cinnabar used for?"

"It's written in my experience, but I'll just explain it to you briefly. These things are used to draw runes on spirit beasts. After all, humans and spirit beasts can't communicate. Only by controlling them with runes can we control spirit beasts."

As he spoke, Wang Wencai took out a wooden stick, drew strange symbols on the ground, and continued:

"The runes I drew are used to simply control the actions of spirit beasts. They are the most basic and simplest skills that every beastmaster must have."

"Is that so?" Yuan Feng felt his eyes had been opened and he tried to remember the patterns on the ground carefully.

"Little brother, you don't need to look at my drawing. I am just demonstrating it, so it is easy to make mistakes. You should still follow your own experience when drawing the runes."

"You should have told me earlier."

Yuan Feng quickly flipped through the pages and was delighted to find that they were indeed very detailed.

It is worthy of being the experience compiled by several generations. This key point is much clearer than the alchemy experience of that crazy old man.

The principle of controlling the rune is very clear in the experience. The function of the rune is to make the spirit beast feel pain, so as to make the spirit beast move.

If you want the spirit beast to move to the left, activate the rune on the right. The spirit beast will feel pain and naturally move to the left.

On the other hand, is there any difference between this and whipping someone?

In Yuan Feng's eyes, there is actually no difference. If there is any difference, using runes looks more civilized.

"It seems that you are also quite interested in taming beasts. Please study it slowly. I will go and prepare the carriage first."

"Go."

Yuan Feng didn't say anything polite. The two girls went back to the inn to pack their luggage. They would be back soon, so it was time to prepare the carriage quickly.

Only Yuanfeng and the treasure-tailed beast were left, and Yuanfeng studied the runes for a while.

"Come here, let me draw the runes on you."

He waved his hand and the treasure-tailed beast came over obediently.

"Huh? Something seems wrong. You, go back."

Upon hearing the order, Baoweimon returned to its original position.

"Go left."

The treasure-tailed beast goes to the left.

"Go right."

The treasure-tailed beast goes to the right.

"Come on, backflip."

Baoweimon squatted on its hind legs and did a standard backflip on the spot.

"Oh my god? If I ask you to flip it, can you really do it?"

This was something Yuan Feng had not expected. This treasure-tailed beast was too obedient.

If he's so obedient, then why would he need that crappy rune? It's just a waste of cinnabar. Yuan Feng put the thing away.

It’s not difficult to tame beasts.

"Very obedient. Now let me test your intelligence. What is one plus one equal to?"

"Chirp." The Baoweimon called twice.

"Oh, you can do math? Then I have to make it more difficult. Find the derivative of x to the cube of x!"

"Chiu?" Baoweimon fell into dizziness.

Yuan Feng slapped his forehead and said, "This is a bit beyond the scope for you. Let me ask you some common sense questions. What can make people drunk?"

"Chirp?"

"That's right, it's jiu (酒). The pronunciation is not very standard, but I guess you got it right."

"Chirp?"

While Yuan Feng was having a great time, Zhao Muxin and Hu Jiuer had already packed up their things and came over.

"Brother Feng, what are you doing?"

"Oh, you guys are here. Look, this God of Wealth I just collected can do backflips. Come on, show me."

"Sir, forget it, the carriage is coming."

"Yeah, there's plenty of time to look it up when I get home."

Yuan Feng waved his hand, and the treasure-tailed beast followed obediently behind him and got on the carriage together.

The Wang family was quite generous and immediately provided a large carriage with four horses. The carriage was so big that not only could three people sit in it, but three people could even sleep inside.

They were also given a coachman, so the three of them didn't have to drive the horses themselves.

After getting on the carriage, Yuanfeng was in high spirits again and played the game of asking questions based on the answers with Baoweimon.
