Chapter 157: Beast Taming Technique
As soon as these words were spoken, She Yingtan suddenly frowned and looked at Chen Mu with puzzled eyes.

Chen Mu's expression remained unchanged. He smiled slightly and said, "To be honest, when I seized the body of the Frost Crystal Snow Sun Toad, I gained something else in the cave."

He had no intention of keeping the matter of the demon egg a secret from her. After all, this achievement was a credit to her and the Beastmaster Sect.

Now he just happened to need a favor from her. If she could get him a good method of taming beasts, he wouldn't mind sharing some of the benefits with her.

She Yingtan's brows furrowed even more tightly, and without paying any attention to Chen Mu's question, she asked curiously, "What did you gain?"

Chen Mu said nothing, but just reached out and patted the spirit beast bag on his waist.

The next moment, the evil spirit suddenly appeared, revealing the toad Xiaoqi, who was already as big as a millstone.

Although Chen Mu did not have the beast taming skills to help it practice, he never lacked spiritual materials and food for it, so Xiao Qi had now grown to the level of a mid-level demon beast.

"This is..." She Yingtan murmured, looking at it with some surprise.

In just two breaths, her eyes lit up and she said hurriedly, "This is the Cold Crystal Snow Sun Toad!"

Chen Mu pursed his lips, smiled softly, and nodded.

She Yingtan was delighted to see the prey, and she fumbled around Xiaoqi, occasionally taking out some pills and tempting Xiaoqi to swallow them.

But Xiao Qi ignored her, with his eyelids drooping and he didn't move, letting her do whatever she wanted.

After a long while, She Yingtan finally stopped her movements, still unsatisfied. With a serious expression, she instructed Chen Mu, "This is an alien spirit beast. It can easily grow into a foundation-building demon. If it is cultivated well, it may even have some chances of transforming... Don't take it lightly!"

Chen Mu smiled and said nothing until she finished speaking. Then he slowly said, "The mother toad left behind two demon eggs. This is one of them."

"Hmm...hmm?" She Yingtan raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes shining brighter, and asked quickly, "Two? Chen Mu, don't lie to me, is this true or not?"

"Why did I lie to you?"

Chen Mu stretched out his right hand and activated his magic power.

The next moment, a fist-sized dark blue egg suddenly appeared on the palm of his hand, full of vitality.

Xiao Qi, who was originally calm and composed, suddenly turned his big eyes and took two steps closer to the egg. He lowered his head and gently cupped the back of Chen Mu's hand, inexplicably showing an attitude of attachment.

"What is this?" Chen Mu was stunned when he saw this, a little surprised. He had never looked like this since Xiaoqi was hatched.

It was She Yingtan, a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, who understood demonic beasts. She looked at Xiao Qi with a much softer expression and explained, "The egg bears the scent of its mother..."

"I thought so." Chen Mu nodded suddenly, feeling a little emotional in his heart, so he didn't hide and let Xiao Qi feel the breath of the fetus and egg.

After a moment, She Yingtan turned to Chen Mu and said, "Chen Mu, I won't be polite with you either. How about selling me this Frost Toad Egg? I can accept it for tens of thousands of spirit stones!"

Chen Mu felt her passionate gaze, but still shook his head and replied, "This egg is not for sale. Why did you pretend not to hear what I said just now, Fellow Daoist She? Is there something difficult for you?"

She Yingtan really showed an embarrassment, and said carefully: "You don't know that the various mental methods in my Beast Taming Sect are forbidden to be revealed to disciples. Because the Beast Taming Mentality is different from magic, it is the foundation of our sect and will never be passed on to outsiders."

"And those beast taming techniques circulating in the market are all of low-grade and incomplete, so I haven't collected any..."

Perhaps fearing Chen Mu might misunderstand, she quickly explained, "The beast-taming skills passed down to your sect's deacon disciples can hardly be called a mental method; they're just superficial. If you can accept that level, I can give it to you now!"

As she spoke, she took out a jade slip and seemed to be handing it to Chen Mu.

"I see..." Chen Mu nodded slightly, but was not too disappointed.

Looking at She Yingtan with an anxious expression, she seemed extremely afraid that he would misunderstand.

Chen Mu smiled, took the jade slip from her hand, and said loudly: "It seems that I have no affinity with your sect's mental method. I can only go to the market to collect some."

Upon hearing this, She Yingtan bit her lip, looking embarrassed, and no longer mentioned the cold toad egg.

The wind was howling, attracting many clouds to linger above.

Chen Mu's brows gradually relaxed, and he said calmly, "Didn't we just say that we were good friends of the same path? Fellow Daoist She, please don't be like this... Here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he lifted up the embryo and handed it to She Yingtan. She Yingtan was slightly startled, her mouth slightly open, obviously a little bit unbelieving, and hesitantly said, "Thank you very much, I won't let you do it in vain, I will give you spirit stones!"

"Send it to you!"

Chen Mu raised one eyebrow slightly and waved his hand in a very casual manner.

She Yingtan was getting more and more confused, and after a moment she said, "Why?"

"You were instrumental in obtaining this demon egg. Now that I have Xiao Qi, I can't use it for the time being. I might as well give it to you, a top disciple of the Beast Taming Sect. Maybe you can help this unborn little creature regain its original glory."

When She Yingtan heard this, her expression gradually became complicated. She looked at Chen Mu who looked calm and composed beside her, and thought secretly for a long time.

"call!"

She let out a long breath, and suddenly a jade slip appeared in her hand.

Without stopping, she turned around and looked around, then quickly stuffed the jade slip into Chen Mu's hand.

"Quick, put it away!"

"Ah?" Chen Mu looked at her in confusion.

"It's true that our sect's secrets cannot be passed on to outsiders... But the beast-taming secrets contained in this jade slip I gave you were created by my father alone. It shouldn't count as leaking the sect's secrets, right?"

She Yingtan frowned and explained to herself with a bitter face.

The mental method that She Chengyue passed on to her was originally intended to be kept as a secret of the She family, and it was not even handed over to the sect. However, in the blink of an eye, it was given away by his own daughter.

"If my father knew about this, he would definitely skin me alive!"

Looking at the jade slip in Chen Mu's hand, She Yingtan became more and more anxious, but she really couldn't bear to part with this alien demon egg. Finally, she simply turned around and forced herself not to look there anymore.

"This……"

Chen Mu stood there in a daze, feeling a little amused and helpless.

If this were to happen next, it would seem that his generous behavior just now was a bit like playing hard to get...

"I really didn't mean that."

Chen Mu shook his head and sighed, then calmly put away the jade slip in his hand.

"It is indeed my own need. Otherwise, I would not take advantage of this little advantage!"

He is not that kind of person...

Both parties were very satisfied with the exchange, so they lost interest in talking for a moment and left the place directly to study their new things.

……

In the blink of an eye, another two days passed, and the huge magic boat finally returned to the sky above the Beast Taming Sect's mountain gate.

If you look from above and below, you can see that at the gate of the Beast Taming Sect, there is a plume of green smoke curling up, which is extremely noble.

"Squeak!"

There was a slight sound, and the hatch slowly opened.

The disciples of the six sects walked out slowly and in an orderly manner, and were immediately greeted by beautiful maids with long sleeves and good dancing skills. Each of them held a round green cloud fan and gently waved it towards them.

The magical thing is that as the round fan gently waved, Chen Mu and others also felt much less tired.

"Hey, this is a good thing. I haven't seen it before."

Niu Dali looked at her with curiosity, making the maid beside him feel a little shy.
