Immortality and cultivation begin with alchemy and accounting.

After leaving Bai Qingbai's residence, Bai Xuanjing arrived at the sea area outside Daoping Island.

Standing on the water's surface, Bai Xuanjing touched the spirit beast pouch at his waist.

As his magical power surged, the spirit beast pouch began to glow.

The millstone-sized tortoise suddenly flew out of the spirit beast pouch and landed on the water's surface.

"Sizzle!"

The scenery before him suddenly changed, and the tortoise seemed somewhat bewildered.

However, it quickly adapted and moved closer to Bai Xuanjing.

Bai Xuanjing touched the head of the tortoise, and a talisman flashed and disappeared from the demon's head.

Ever since signing the Beast Taming Contract, Bai Xuanjing has felt a deep connection with the Fallen Turtle.

It's a feeling similar to, yet completely different from, controlling magical artifacts.

However, the Zhilu Turtle is still a low-grade first-order turtle, and its intelligence has not yet been developed. To make it perform some complex actions, special beast-taming techniques are still required.

Ordinary beast-taming techniques work for most demonic beasts, but different demonic beasts require different beast-taming techniques.

For example, Bai Qingshan has a technique that allows him to briefly perceive what the Fire Dragon Sable sees and hears.

That technique only applies to the Fire Dragon Sable.

Therefore, the demonic beasts controlled by the beast-taming cultivators of the five branches of the Bai family can actually be categorized into only a few types.

Only when facing these types of monsters do the five branches have the corresponding methods for cultivating them, thus maximizing their usefulness.

This is what is known as the inheritance of beast taming.

Those rogue cultivators whose lineage is not refined enough, even if they are lucky enough to obtain a demon beast with excellent talent, will still be unable to control it without the corresponding magic techniques.

In reality, the power that a demon beast can unleash is no different from that of a wild demon beast that acts on instinct.

It is impossible to fully develop the monsters.

"It's a pity that the Bai family is not good at controlling the Zhilu Turtle, so they can only use this demon as an ordinary mount."

Looking at the tortoise that had stopped falling, Bai Xuanjing felt a little regretful.

The information sent by Bai Qingshan recorded that when the Liuyun Sect's envoy stopped the falling tortoise, there were several incantation runes.

It can consume the essence blood of the Fallen Turtle to greatly enhance its escape skills and temporarily improve its defensive capabilities.

There are also some techniques that can activate the innate talent of the Fallen Turtle, which is only awakened at the second stage.

These beast-taming techniques truly make the most of the Zhilu Turtle!

Unfortunately, these techniques are all passed down within the Flowing Cloud Sect, and the Bai family has no way of knowing them.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Bai Xuanjing sat down on the back of the tortoise.

He made a hand seal and cast a universal mount/beast-taming talisman, which landed on the back of the tortoise.

Instantly, the demonic power within the Zhiluo Turtle stirred, binding Bai Xuanjing and firmly "sticking" him to the turtle's back.

Even if the Falling Turtle were to travel at full speed, Bai Xuanjing would not feel any jolts, let alone be thrown off.

At the same time, as Bai Xuanjing's magical power and the power of the Fallen Turtle merged, Bai Xuanjing vaguely felt that his breathing pattern seemed to have changed somewhat.

Its entire body emitted a faint yellow fluorescent light.

This is also one of the functions of the Beast Taming Technique: sharing the mount's adaptability to the environment.

After all, different monsters are suited to different environments.

With this technique, even if the Fallen Turtle dives into the water, Bai Xuanjing won't need to use an additional underwater breathing technique or water-avoidance technique!

"Although my Bai family is only a Foundation Establishment family, we have many different lineages, which has its advantages." Bai Xuanjing thought to himself as he felt the changes brought about by the Beast Taming Runes.

Although it is just a general method of beast taming, it has many mysterious uses.

Then, with a thought, he stopped the turtle from diving into the water.

Bai Xuanjing felt as if she had turned into a fish attached to the back of a tortoise.

The surrounding environment is changing rapidly.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn,

The turtle surfaced, revealing the white jade-like creature perched atop its back.

Under the pale yellow light, Bai Xuanjing was completely dry.

"This speed is about three times faster than when I travel on water!"

After calculating the speed of the Fallen Turtle in his mind, Bai Xuanjing was quite surprised.

Although water manipulation is just a basic escape technique, the speed of this water-stopping turtle is still somewhat exaggerated in comparison.

It should be noted that Bai Xuanjing is now at the fourth level of Qi Refining, while Zhiluo Turtle is only at the early stage of the first level!

If the Fallen Turtle reaches the mid-stage of the first tier, its speed will only be even faster!

"What a great mount!"

Bai Xuanjing sighed inwardly.

Immediately afterwards, he placed his palm on the top of the Zhiluo Turtle to sense the depletion of its demonic energy.

"The demonic energy within my body is similar to that of a cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining, but the energy consumption for escape is much less than when I used Water Control at the third level of Qi Refining."

"That's about a fourfold difference!"

Bai Xuanjing opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them.

This means that the Stop-Fall Turtle is not only faster, but also has greater endurance than when it uses Water Control!

This is far superior to simply practicing an ordinary escape technique!

Bai Xuanjing's gaze towards Zhiluo Turtle softened further.

After that, he tried other general beast-taming runes and became familiar with controlling the Fallen Turtle.

By the time Bai Xuanjing finished her work, half an hour had passed.

The Stop-Fall Turtle is, after all, a water-type monster, and the ocean is its most suitable environment.

Since arriving at the Bai family, Bai Xuangu has basically never let the Zhiluo Turtle go into the sea, except for feeding it.

Although the Zhilu Turtle prefers quiet, this demon is still young and has not been able to come into contact with the ocean for a long time, so it has a strong desire to explore the ocean.

Before signing the Beast Taming Contract, Bai Xuanjing was naturally unable to perceive this emotion, but after signing the contract, he could clearly sense some of the desires of the Fallen Turtle.

"Okay, go play for a while."

Sensing the turtle's desire to play in the sea, Bai Xuanjing nodded and stroked the turtle's head.

"Sizzle!"

The tortoise happily circled the white jade turtle, sucking in seawater and then exhaling it from its nostrils, as if it were setting off a celebratory cannon salute.

Before long, it plunged down and disappeared into the seabed.

Near the Canghuang Islands, Bai family cultivators patrol regularly, and wild demonic beasts have disappeared, with only some ordinary fish remaining. Bai Xuanjing has no need to worry about the safety of this demon.

With the Beast Taming Contract in place, Bai Xuanjing wasn't worried that the Zhiluo Turtle would run far away or clash with the Bai family cultivators.

Before long, the tortoise returned, carrying a ten-foot-long black fish in its mouth. It approached Bai Xuanjing as if seeking praise, looking at Bai Xuanjing with a fawning expression.

This large black fish is some kind of sea fish, but it is not a demonic beast and has no spiritual energy in its body.

Looking at the well-behaved Zhilu turtle, Bai Xuanjing couldn't help but smile. "I won't eat it, you can eat it yourself!"

As if it understood Bai Xuanjing's words, Zhiluo Turtle immediately raised its head and swallowed the big black fish.

Then it dived back into the water to forage and play.
