I'm just a swineherd, not a beastmaster.

Bullpen.

Lei Niang stuck her head out and looked around.

"Lei Niang, what are you looking at?" Daya leaned over and asked.

"I was looking for that old Taoist priest. I wanted him to teach me the secret techniques, but now he has disappeared."

"He can't run away. Everything is under my control."

"Oh, do you know where the Taoist priest is?"

"Of course I know." Da Ya pointed at his nose proudly, "I, Old Pig, have memorized the smell of that Taoist priest a long time ago. Even if he escapes to the ends of the earth, I can still find him."

"Now that you know, why don't you go quickly? What are you waiting for?"

"It's not dark yet, and the master hasn't gone to bed yet. Do you think I'm not worried? If I go out now and the master comes to feed the pigs and doesn't see me, he will be worried to death."

"That's true. Speaking of which, the owner is almost at the pigpen, why don't you go back?"

"Ouch, the master is chopping the pig food too fast!"

Big Tooth turned into a black wind and blew into the pigsty.

When Yuan Feng entered the pigpen, he just saw Daya pretending to sleep.

"Hey, Da Ya, don't sleep any more, get up and eat the pig food. When you are full, you can feed the sow more and give birth to more piglets."

Yuan Feng was pouring the pig food while muttering to himself.

Daya didn't take Yuan Feng's muttering seriously. With his own body, he could make hundreds of sows pregnant in a day.

But he didn't want to, because if there were too many piglets, the owner would sell them, and he would have to send his younger brothers to pretend to be buyers to buy the pigs, which was too troublesome.

Now, every year at the end of the year, he has to secretly bring back an ordinary pig to replace the prince, and exchange his own child for Yuan Feng to kill. This is troublesome enough.

If there are too many babies and the scale becomes larger, Da Ya will be very busy.

Besides, at his current level, every time he makes a sow pregnant, he would waste his essence.

Among all the divine beasts in the courtyard, he was the first to arrive at Yuan Feng. His strength was not bad at the beginning, but after such a long time, he has not been able to catch up with Xiao Ling, Lei Niang and the others.

Why? Because they were busy giving birth to piglets.

Daya was thinking a lot, but Yuanfeng didn't know. He just saw that his breeding boar was in a daze and not eating, so he punched Daya on the head.

"I told you to eat more, did you hear me?"

"Ouch!"

Da Ya almost lifted up the pig's trotter and held his head.

"Why does it still hurt a little when the master hits me?"

You know, before this, Yuan Feng didn't feel anything when he hit him.

"As expected of a Holy Spirit Body. Even before I started practicing, I was stained with some spiritual energy. It hurts me so much when you hit me, old pig. Master is so powerful."

What Yuan Feng didn't know was that he punched his own breeding pig and was praised for it.

……

the other side.

Mo Xuyang ran to a cave in a panic.

Hiding deep in the cave, not daring to move.

Now he is in a dilemma.

He didn't dare to run far. What Daya said to him was like a sword hanging over his head.

He was afraid to go back because of the monsters in the yard. His legs went weak in fear.

"My God, where are you? I can't do this job. It's too scary."

Curled up in the darkness, Mo Xuyang hugged his legs and muttered to himself.

Think about him, Mo Xuyang, who learned to read at the age of three, practiced Qi at the age of five, established his foundation at the age of fifty, and has reached the third level of foundation at the age of one hundred and three.

I have been to the south and the north, and have seen all kinds of storms.

I have never seen such a scary look in the yellow dog's eyes. Those eyes were full of cannibalism.

"It's scary!"

When Mo Xuyang thought of the look in the yellow dog's eyes, he began to tremble.

"Hey~"

A sigh suddenly came from the empty cave.

"who!"

Mo Xuyang jumped up from the ground like a spring, his teeth chattering with fear.

"Who! Come out... Come out! I warn you. I, Mo Xuyang, have magical powers. Go and ask around. When I strike you with my Fiery Sun Palm, the sky will collapse and the earth will crack!"

"Hey~ I'm telling you, you're too timid."

The voice sounded again, mixed with sighs, and this time Mo Xuyang understood.

"Shangxian?"

The voice was exactly Daya's.

In the darkness, Mo Xuyang saw Daya's big eyes like copper bells.

Although I knew he was an acquaintance, I couldn't help but feel scared by Daya's big eyes.

"Why are you running?"

"I'm afraid, Immortal, you didn't tell me that there are man-eating monsters in the young master's place."

"Who told you that those monsters eat people? They are the guardian spirit beasts arranged by the family for the young master. They are very docile."

"Really? But..."

Mo Xuyang was a little bit unconvinced, and the look in his eyes when he looked at the yellow dog was not gentle.

It’s right not to believe it. Tuntian glared at Mo Xuyang with a murderous look in his eyes.

"No buts. Now you go back to the young master and continue to teach him the secret technique. Otherwise, I will have to destroy your cultivation. In order to prevent the secret technique from being leaked, I will also beat you into a fool."

"This……"

In order to save his life, Mo Xuyang could accept destroying his cultivation, but he would not accept being beaten into a fool.

It is better to die than to become stupid, after all, the latter has dignity.

"Sir, can you really guarantee that those so-called guardian spirit beasts won't eat humans?"

"How else can I assure you? You stayed in the yard for a night and left safely. Isn't that the best proof? Do you think that with your current strength, if the guarding spirit beast really wants to eat you, you can run away?"

"That's true, but...but Immortal, how long will I have to stay with the young master? I'm really scared to live in that yard."

"It won't be long. Once the young master has learned the mental method I gave you, you can find an excuse to leave."

"That's great."

"Why, being the master to the young master is unfair to you?"

When asked this question, Mo Xuyang smiled awkwardly and said, "That's not the case. I'm just timid and have been chasing spirit beasts since I was a child."

"Don't say those useless things. Go back quickly. It's late at night and you have to trouble me to come out."

"Thank you for your hard work, Immortal. By the way, Immortal, what if the young master can't learn the mental method?"

"How can you have so many "what ifs"? Young Master is not that stupid. There is no such thing as never being able to learn a broken heart method. Of course, if you really can't learn it, that's your problem, and you have to take responsibility to the end."

"what?"

Mo Xuyang began to pray, hoping that the young master was not a fool, because if he was, he would have to endure a long period of hardship.

……

The next day.

Yuan Feng opened the door facing the morning sun and saw Mo Xuyang standing outside the yard with his neck shrunk.

"Master? Why don't you come in now that you're back? Why are you standing at the door?"

"Hehe..." Mo Xuyang smiled awkwardly, "I am absorbing the essence of purple energy and practicing."

"So that's how it is, Master, do I need to suck along with you?"

"That's not necessary," Mo Xuyang prepared himself mentally and pushed the door open. "I heard that you have awakened your spiritual roots, so I came back early to teach you the mind method."

"Heard? I'm alone here. How did you hear that, Master? You must have known it through divination, right?"

"Yes, I know from the divination." Mo Xuyang breathed a sigh of relief.

That was a close call. I almost let it slip.

"Master, what mental method do you want to teach me? Is it difficult?"

"Whether it's difficult or not, you won't know until you try it yourself. Now go take a shower, change your clothes, and get ready to start learning."

"I see. We have to start now. I was thinking of feeding the pigs first, but it seems that we don't have time. It's okay. It's not a big deal if we don't feed them for a while."

Yuan Feng said this, but Daya didn't think so.

The piglets with big teeth didn't think so either. Under the influence of the Yuanfeng Yunling Holy Body, they grew very fast and consumed a huge amount of energy.

I really couldn't bear not eating for a while.

So, all twelve pigs, including Daya, cast resentful looks at Mo Xuyang.

This sight frightened Mo Xuyang almost to death.

"Disciple, you should feed the pigs first. In fact, haste makes waste. There is no rush to practice the mental method."

"Master, you don't have to worry about the pigs. It's really not a big deal if they don't eat for a while."

"You should feed the pigs first."

Mo Xuyang wanted to kneel down to Yuan Feng. What does it mean to be in the way? Those pigs' eyes can kill people.

How can you say it's not a problem? You are the young master, so of course it's not a problem, but I am an outsider, and those pigs are going to eat me.

Seeing that Mo Xuyang insisted again and again, Yuan Feng had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, Master, wait a moment. I'll feed the pigs and then take a bath and change clothes. It'll be quick."

Yuan Feng couldn't wait and quickly fed the pigs, took a shower and changed his clothes.

After doing all this, the first person to breathe a sigh of relief was Mo Xuyang.

Finally, Da Ya and the piglets no longer had to look at him with cannibalistic eyes.

This made Mo Xuyang suddenly feel less stressed.

After Yuan Feng sat down, Mo Xuyang adjusted his mentality and officially began teaching.

Mo Xuyang had already memorized the ancient heavenly-level mental method "Star Picking Art" given by Daya, so he started teaching without flipping through the book.

"Ahem, the method I'm going to teach you is called 'Star Picking Technique', which is a... um..."

Mo Xuyang suddenly remembered that Daya had instructed him not to reveal the true level of "Star Picking Art" and to speak at a lower level.

"It is a lower-level Yellow Rank Heart Technique. Heart Techniques are divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Black and Yellow. Each level is further divided into three levels: Upper, Middle and Lower. This Star Picking Technique is the lowest level of Heart Technique."

In addition to the three grades of upper, middle and lower, there is actually another grade that Mo Xuyang did not mention, and that is the ancient grade. However, only the heavenly grade mental method has this ancient grade, so it is normal that it is not mentioned.

"Last? That's too rubbish? The name sounds nice, but I didn't expect it to be so bad." Yuan Feng's eyes were full of disappointment.

"Don't look down on this Star Picking Technique just because it's inferior. If you practice it well, your cultivation speed will improve by leaps and bounds. Remember, there are no rubbish mental methods, only cultivators who don't work hard."

Hmm? Why does this sound so familiar?

Yuan Feng stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.
