The female nun just wants to live forever

Chapter 101 Controlling the Beast
The world is desolate and vast.

Gu Nian stood on the branch of an ancient tree so thick that it took dozens of people to surround it, and frowned as he looked at the vast expanse.

According to what Ruan Jingtian said just now, this does not seem to be a cave for a foundation-building cultivator, but an entrance to a secret realm, and it is also related to the Yun family.

This made Gu Nian fall into deep thought.

If what Ruan Jingtian said is true, then the Yun family's trip may have other deeper meanings. As to whether they are heading to Zhongzhou, it is unknown.

But Gu Nian felt that the Yun family should go to Zhongzhou.

As for Yun Ling's mention of her fourth uncle leading people to break the formation, the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

"Could it be that... the fourth uncle that Yun Ling mentioned is here to open the secret realm?"

As soon as this thought came to mind, Gu Nian suddenly lost his composure.

If it is really to open the entrance to the secret realm, wouldn't a lot of people die just like here?

Moreover, since the Yun family took the lead, there is no way that the Yun family would share the secret realm with those independent cultivators, so... those people would definitely die!
but……

The Yun family went to so much trouble to come here to search for the secret realm. Could it be that there really are treasures in this secret realm?

Gu Nian's eyes lit up.

If there really is a treasure, can I get a share of it?

She has too few opportunities, and few means of attack and survival. If she goes to Zhongzhou like this, good or bad luck is unpredictable, so the best way is to increase her life-saving means and trump cards as much as possible before setting foot in Zhongzhou.

Thinking of this, Gu Nian took out Ruan Jingtian's storage bag and probed into the storage bag with his spiritual sense.

As soon as he entered the storage bag, he saw dozens of crystal clear spirit stones, an ink-colored jade pendant, a silver sword, a dark blue bottle, and dozens of martial arts secret books.

Gu Nian's mind moved, his consciousness withdrew from the storage bag, and the ink-colored jade pendant appeared in his hand.

She looked at the jade pendant and frowned.

The patterns on it are clearly visible, emitting a faint soft light. Three strange characters are engraved on the front, and on the back of the jade pendant, there are two fish patterns connected head to tail. Upon closer inspection, the two fish should be the killifish species, which are very beautiful.

She subconsciously urged her spiritual energy to wrap the ink-colored jade pendant, but found that the object seemed to be rejecting her spiritual energy. Moreover, the killifish on the back of the jade pendant seemed to come alive, with a black and a white shadow appearing, frantically resisting Gu Nian's erosion.

"This is... could it be the magical umbrella that Ethan Ruan mentioned?"

Gu Nian was slightly stunned, then overjoyed, and said: "This thing is easy to attack and defend, it is indeed a treasure!"

Thinking of this, he frowned again: "It's just that this thing has been refined. If I want to erase Ruan Jingtian's divine consciousness again and refine this thing, it may take a long time."

She shook her head, threw the jade pendant into her Qiankun bag, and took out the silver sword.

The long sword felt slightly heavy in the hand, and the hilt was like a snake's mouth. The sword body came out from the snake's mouth, emitting a cold light.

She picked up the sword and chopped at the flower stalk as thick as her arm. The flower stalk was cut off instantly, leaving a very smooth gap.

"It's so sharp!" Gu Nian's heart trembled, a little surprised. He didn't expect that this long sword was also a treasure.

After playing with it for a while, she put away the sword and took out the martial arts secrets from the storage bag.

There were many skills in Ruan Jingtian's storage bag, such as "Spirit Gathering Technique", "Qi Inducing Technique", "Wind-Walking Technique", etc., which dazzled Gu Nian for a moment, but finally fixed his eyes on a skill called "Beast Taming Technique".

Gu Nian opened the "Art of Taming Beasts" and read it carefully. As time passed, she sometimes frowned and sometimes relaxed her brows, as if she understood everything.

"The heaven and earth have form, and all things have spirits... The heaven has five elements to control the five positions, with cold, heat, dryness, dampness and wind as the basis; the spirit has five internal organs to transform into five qi, with joy, anger, worry, thought and fear as the main ones... The spirit opens up wisdom, so it moves things; without wisdom, things move..." "Therefore, those who understand the heaven and earth can control all things; a touch of wisdom, controlled by the spirit, can be used to resist the enemy, this is one of the ways to control..."

"..."

"Whoo~"

After a long time, Gu Nian closed the "Beast Taming Technique" in his hand, took a long breath, and his tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed.

"Controlled by the spirit... I didn't expect that there would be such a magical skill in the world. It's really amazing." She murmured in a light tone.

This book "The Art of Taming Beasts" roughly talks about how to refine and control monsters, but it is targeted and can only be used against small bug-like monsters.

According to the previous life, the stink bug monsters should belong to the Hemiptera insects, such as cicadas, aphids, scale insects, etc.

Although Gu Nian is a homebody, he also knows some common sense.

Hemiptera is a larger order in nature. Most of the insects in this order have flat and hard bodies, well-developed dorsal plates, and therefore front and back wings, and most of them use their mouths as weapons.

However, insects are insects after all, and they have little intelligence. But monsters are different. Monsters can open up their intelligence, breathe in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and convert it into monster power in their bodies.

In comparison, the monsters are more like the monsters in the movies and TV dramas of the previous life. When they have cultivated to a certain level, they can speak human language and transform into human form.

But Gu Nian knew that in this world, there were many races, and humans were just one of them.

There is a lack of the technology of previous lives here, so in comparison, mortals are at a disadvantage compared to other races. Only those who practice cultivation can represent the human race.

Although the human race was inferior in the beginning, once they began to practice, they would have the upper hand, because humans could directly absorb spiritual energy without having to convert it into demonic power.

This is why all races are dominated by transforming into human bodies.

"Huh! It seems that this trip has yielded a lot of gains. If there is a chance in the future, I will find some bug-like monsters to refine and try."

Gu Nian put away his skills and took out the last item from his storage bag, which was a dark blue porcelain bottle only the size of a thumb.

The porcelain vase feels slightly cool to the touch, and the entire surface of the bottle looks broken, with a cicada wing pattern, and with a faint blue light, it is quite beautiful.

Gu Nian gently unscrewed the porcelain lid, and a refreshing fragrance wafted out, filling the air at the tip of her nose.

"What is this?"

Gu Nian stared at the porcelain bottle and couldn't help but take a deep breath. In an instant, he felt extremely relaxed inside his body, and the golden spiritual energy in his dantian instantly became active.

Gu Nian suddenly opened his eyes.

She stared at the porcelain bottle in her hand, her heartbeat inexplicably quickening, because she found that the golden spiritual energy in her dantian was flowing on its own!
At this moment, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Nannan who had come in front of her at some point, staring at the porcelain bottle in her hand with a greedy look on her face.

"Nannan, do you want it?"

"I……"

Nannan swallowed her saliva and wanted to refuse, but she couldn't help but nodded. As soon as she nodded, she felt something was wrong, so she whispered: "Sister, I only need a little bit..."

Gu Nian glanced at the porcelain bottle in his hand, thought for a moment, and then handed the bottle to Nannan.

Nannan hurriedly took the porcelain bottle, afraid of spilling it, she carefully poured out a drop of dark blue water the size of her little finger, and then swallowed it in one gulp.

The moment the dark blue water droplets entered the mouth, the surrounding spiritual energy suddenly became chaotic and rushed madly into Nannan's body, but in an instant the surrounding spiritual energy was completely absorbed.
