Chapter 36: Spirit Beast Cultivation MethodTo solve Jinling's cultivation problem, it was necessary to understand the cultivation methods of Spirit Beasts.Thus working backwards to deduce a method suitable for Jinling's cultivation.Good news, there were three Spirit Beasts right by his side.Bad news, two of these three Spirit Beasts were plant-type Spirit Beasts.Compared to plant-type Spirit Beasts, animal-type Spirit Beasts were clearly more similar in structure to the human body.Animals at least had internal organs, muscles, and nerves, whereas plants didn't share a single similar part with humans.Ye Feng planned to start investigating from Yaoguang.Fortunately, Ye Feng had developed a mental force communication method, allowing him to understand Yaoguang's words without obstruction.According to Yaoguang, her cultivation relied entirely on instinct; aside from hunting other Spirit Beasts and absorbing the nutrients in their flesh and blood, she could only passively increase her spirit power.In other words, there was no cultivation method, relying entirely on the strength of her bloodline.Ye Feng was dumbfounded; he already knew that the cultivation system of Douluo Continent was lacking, but he didn't expect Spirit Beasts to be even more outrageous, not even having a cultivation method.To ensure the conclusion was accurate, Ye Feng even went and caught a few thousand-year Spirit Beasts of different races.(Generally, ten-year and hundred-year Spirit Beasts only had instinct; Yaoguang had a good bloodline, but her intelligence wasn't high right now either.)Relying on his fists and food, Ye Feng persuaded them, and ultimately, the result was the same as what Yaoguang had said.This result shocked Ye Feng; he had originally wanted to reference Spirit Beast cultivation methods, make slight modifications, and hand them over for Jinling to use.As it turned out, they didn't have a cultivation method at all, relying purely on instinct.No wonder high-age Spirit Beasts, except for that lucky fellow Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, were all Spirit Beasts with relatively powerful bloodlines.Ye Feng thought carefully; this conclusion was a bit too hasty.Could it be that the Dragon God, the dignified Supreme God King, didn't have a cultivation method either?But thinking of those Innate Saints in the primordial World who were born as Golden Immortals of Da Luo, he became somewhat uncertain.With a final shred of hope, Ye Feng looked at the two plant-type Spirit Beasts in the courtyard, hoping that plant-type Spirit Beasts would be different.It was worth mentioning that ever since Ah Yin was brought home by him, she had been planted in a corner of the courtyard, far away from the Evergreen Tree.Moreover, Ye Feng channeled spirit power to her once every day to ensure Ah Yin's growth.He didn't know the exact location of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and Dugu Bo was unlikely to return in a short time, so Ye Feng planted her in his own small courtyard.As the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin grew extremely well, towering far above other Blue Silver Grass.Pity that there was still no sign of awakening, which showed that the blood pact consumed an immense amount of her origin source.But this did not affect Ye Feng's investigation of her cultivation method.Much as Ye Feng had anticipated, the cultivation methods of the two plant-type Spirit Beasts were similar.The leaves and branches absorbed natural energy from the air, while the root system absorbed natural energy from the soil.Both were related to the plant's growth structure, and essentially, there was no difference from the instinctive cultivation of animal-type Spirit Beasts.Not getting the result he wanted, Ye Feng knitted his brows tightly.Right at this moment, a pair of tender little hands touched Ye Feng's cheeks, smoothing out his furrowed brow."Master, don't be unhappy. Actually, I'm quite fine like this. It's fine even if I don't grow stronger; as long as Master doesn't abandon me, I'll be satisfied."Ye Feng looked at Jinling snuggled up beside him, seeing her gentle smile and also catching the fleeting trace of disappointment in her eyes.Ye Feng knew that Jinling had actually always felt inferior. She was very smart, knowing that Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan were extraordinary people, and also realizing from their casual chats just how exceptional Ye Feng was.She saw all the efforts Ye Feng made to treat her.She felt so inferior; she was just an ordinary common person's child, and an abandoned freak at that—what qualifications did she have to take Ye Feng as her master?Yet she didn't want to leave Ye Feng; he was her last family member.Torn between feelings of inferiority and rationality, she yearned greedily for Ye Feng's tenderness while fearing that she would bring him trouble.Realizing this, Ye Feng hugged Jinling tightly and spoke earnestly:"Ling'er, I am your master, and you are my disciple. No one can replace you. You don't need to feel inferior; you are very outstanding, and your Spirit is the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff, a Spirit stronger than those of aristocratic clans.""It's this master who is useless, unable to bring out your potential.""However, rest assured, you are my family, and I will definitely find a cultivation method suitable for you."Feeling the trembling of the delicate body in his arms, Ye Feng gently patted her back. He knew that these words could only alleviate her inferiority complex, not cure it completely.The best method was to find a cultivation method suitable for her as soon as possible.A sense of urgency arose in Ye Feng's heart; he truly treated Jinling as family.She was his anchor on Douluo Continent, so naturally he hoped she could grow strong.Since there were no ready-made cultivation techniques, he would create one.Thinking carefully, cultivation techniques found from Spirit Beasts might not necessarily be suitable for Jinling.Jinling was not a Spirit Beast; she was a human who had awakened a Spirit Beast's bloodline. After her body mutated, she should be closer to demi-humans in Western fantasy World."Perhaps I should think about the characteristics shared by humans and Spirit Beasts."As a Grandmaster of spirit ring research, Ye Feng quickly locked his target onto spirit rings.spirit rings were indeed the most direct connection between Spirit Beasts and humans, as well as the most fundamental contradiction between the two.And this was also an area Ye Feng was familiar with; starting from this aspect couldn't be more appropriate.He gave full play to the imagination of a youth from the 21st-century internet era, diverging his thoughts and associating it with Tang San.Also possessing a portion of Spirit Beast bloodline, when Tang San awakened the Blue Silver Emperor, he had obtained a natal spirit ring.And the natal spirit ring would upgrade as his strength increased.If Jinling, like Tang San, stimulated the bloodline of the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff, could she also condense a natal spirit ring?Pondering for a moment, Ye Feng felt the probability was very small. First of all, Douluo Continent was not lacking in Spirit Masters with special bloodlines, yet he had never heard of anyone obtaining a natal spirit ring.Even Tang San had obtained his natal spirit ring only with the help of the Blue Silver King and the entire Blue Silver Forest.Even knowing it was unfeasible, Ye Feng did not give up.spirit rings, to some extent, were considered the life origin of Spirit Beasts, and this kind of life origin generally had bloodline inheritance in fantasy novels.Even if not, the condensation of a spirit ring would definitely be beneficial to a Spirit Master.Ye Feng had a premonition that after Jinling obtained a natal spirit ring, a qualitative change would definitely occur.This feeling was something he couldn't clearly explain himself; it was a sort of guidance in the dark.But Ye Feng decided to give it a try. Even if he failed, with Ye Feng's cultivation, it would be enough to interrupt it in time.Tang San had the Blue Silver King and the Blue Silver Forest; he had Immortal Herbs and soul fragments.The bloodline of the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff was not inferior to that of the Blue Silver Emperor.Ye Feng had the confidence to successfully condense the spirit ring.
