Beast Taming: My System is Bugged-Chapter 81 - 80: Why is the Hall of the Great Dao Here Again?

Chapter 81: Chapter 80: Why is the Hall of the Great Dao Here Again?

After Mouse Treasure swallowed the Hidden Dao Pill, a burning sensation instantly spread from its Dantian, sweeping through its entire body like a raging fire.

In just a few seconds, the Elixir transformed into a surging heatwave that rampaged through its belly, frantically crashing toward its meridians.

Just as its expression changed drastically and it thought it was about to self-combust, the surging heatwave receded as quickly as a tide.

In its place was an unprecedented feeling of lightness.

It lowered its head and saw a faint film quietly appear on the surface of its body. It was like an invisible barrier, concealing all the fluctuations within—the flow of its Mana, the surging of its Spiritual Qi, and the simmering of its Blood Qi.

The few people present could no longer sense Mouse Treasure’s aura. They only saw it standing in the center of the Array Hub, its round eyes slightly wide, giving it a somewhat dazed and goofy look.

Its two small paws waved about ceaselessly in exaggerated movements, and its mouth opened and closed as it shared its joy.

"Can you guys feel it? This Elixir is amazing!" it squeaked, clearly stunned by the Elixir’s miraculous effect.

This is the Hidden Dao Pill. It can hide a Pet Beast’s Daoist Skill fluctuations, greatly concealing the Pet Beast’s true strength.

Even if there are High-star Pet Beasts in the city, they won’t be able to know what’s happening in the store from so far away.

Gu Ming asked Lu You to sense it as well. She immediately responded that there were no problems; she could still sense the various conditions inside her Pet Beast.

After all, she was backed by the Pet Beast Contract, a power that directly connected to the Pet Beast’s heart. The Hidden Dao Pill wasn’t powerful enough to sever the connection between a Pet Beast and its master.

This also meant that Mouse Treasure could still be perceived by the Celestial Dao, but that was enough. After all, naming a Cultivation Technique also required the Celestial Dao’s recognition and memory, so it was impossible to block out the Celestial Dao as well.

Gu Ming and Lu You exchanged a look. He nodded, telling Lu You to have her Pet Beast cultivate its technique.

"Mouse Treasure, cultivate your technique."

Mouse Treasure took a deep breath and began to use the Earth Shifting Technique.

Its tiny body weaved back and forth within the Array, taking small, light steps that were sometimes fast and sometimes slow. Each step seemed to hold a unique rhythm.

It used the momentum of its movements to adjust its breathing rhythm. In between breaths, it secretly aligned with the Dao Charm of the Green Treasure Breathing Technique, using it to adjust the Earth Shifting Technique.

The two worked in perfect concert, seamlessly complementing each other.

Soon, Mouse Treasure felt the Blood Qi in its body surging like a tidal wave. It had endless energy, and its running became smoother and smoother.

’Strange, cultivating my technique is so smooth today. Is it because I’m about to name the Cultivation Technique?’

Mouse Treasure fell into a profound state of enlightenment. The energy within its body flowed like a babbling brook, spontaneously guided by the technique to its Dantian and other areas.

It opened its mouth to breathe, inhaling Spiritual Qi. It refined the Earth Spiritual Qi into Mana and moved it to its Dantian, while also compressing the Grass Spiritual Qi into the shape of a seed and planting it inside its Dantian.

There was no other way. As an Earth Attribute Pet Beast, it couldn’t refine Grass Spiritual Qi, so it could only move it inside.

At the same time, the sand beneath its feet also began to churn.

The sand moved stealthily, clinging tightly to the soles of its feet, creating a boosting effect that noticeably increased its movement Speed.

This was a characteristic of the Earth Shifting Technique. Not only could it move earth, but it could also move the various energies within the body, making it highly compatible with other Cultivation Techniques.

Watching this scene, the eyes of Teacher Zhang, Lu You, and Manager Ruan, who were observing from the side, lit up.

"What Cultivation Technique is this?" Manager Ruan couldn’t help but ask.

This Cultivation Technique was very impressive. At a glance, it was clearly a Low-star Technique far superior to the Earth Element Technique.

Not only could it handle Breathing Techniques and Refinement, but it could also control the gravel on the sand’s surface. A single technique with multiple uses—it already showed the early makings of a High-star Technique.

One had to know that High-star Level Cultivation Techniques often required a stronger physical body, a keener Cultivation Talent, and more refined control.

Mouse Treasure was still far from meeting the three criteria mentioned above.

The fact that it could use this technique meant it was suitable for low-level Basic Pet Beasts.

After all, its highest potential was only Two-star, similar to the Little Cyan Snake. It was the kind of Pet Beast that wouldn’t get very far even if it gave its all.

To be fair, the combat power of a Sunflower Seed-eating Hamster was even weaker than that of a Little Cyan Snake.

The only path truly suited for it was the Cultivation Element, which involved tasks like treasure hunting, moving wood, composting, and transportation.

"This is the Earth Shifting Technique," Gu Ming announced in a clear voice. "It was developed from the Earth Element Technique for Qi Gathering and Essence Condensing, and Moving Sand and Earth."

Upon hearing this, Mouse Treasure’s body trembled slightly.

It followed along, chanting, "Squeak squeak squeak!"

Earth Shifting Technique!

The moment Mouse Treasure’s voice faded, the heavens and earth sensed that this technique now had a name, and immediately pulled the technique’s Qi Mechanism to the Hall of the Great Dao.

In the next instant, the earth hummed lightly. The residents of tens of thousands of apartment buildings felt a momentary tremor.

The sun in the sky had only been scorching down for a short while when thick clouds suddenly appeared and began to churn violently.

The clouds were torn apart as if by a giant, invisible hand, and a magnificent pillar of light poured down, enveloping an entire district of the city.

That was the light of the Hall of the Great Dao, and it was even more dazzling than the sun in the sky.

People throughout the city stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky, their eyes filled with amazement and deep confusion.

"Why is the Hall of the Great Dao here again?"

"Didn’t the Hall of the Great Dao just make an appearance a moment ago?"

"What’s going on today? Did all the geniuses in our city decide to name their Cultivation Techniques on this specific day?"

Some people also noticed that the light projected down this time was much bigger than the one from yesterday.

People within the range of the Great Dao’s light quickly released their Pet Beasts to feel the baptism of the Dao Radiance.

If a Pet Beast had good compatibility with the new Cultivation Technique, it was possible for it to have a spontaneous moment of enlightenment.

This was a rare opportunity. Large numbers of Beastmasters flooded into the Qing Lake Community area, greedily absorbing the Dao Radiance that filled the air.

Some clever people rode their Flying Pets at low altitudes, searching for the center of the pillar of light.

Unfortunately, the Great Dao’s light had an extremely large radius and wasn’t concentrated on the school grounds like last time.

In less than three seconds, the light from the Hall of the Great Dao slowly faded, disappearing into the clouds.

No one knew who had created this Cultivation Technique. They could only wait for that person to publish it in a journal someday, or it might remain hidden from the world forever, never to be known.

Although new Cultivation Techniques were recorded inside the Hall of the Great Dao every day, the Hall was a vast mountain of books. Finding a new book was extremely difficult. Besides, a normal person couldn’t stay inside for long, so finding a new book was basically down to luck.

"Speaking of which, did anyone notice how many colors the light had?"

"I think it was just one color."

"Damn, only one color? Why was the area of illumination so huge then? Was it really necessary to hide?"

The passersby who wanted to find the new Cultivation Technique cursed loudly, but Gu Ming and the others, far away in the Pet Beast Store, couldn’t hear them.

Having completed the naming of the new Cultivation Technique, everyone was very excited, especially Lu You herself, who was so moved she was on the verge of tears.

"Thank you, Gu Ming. Thank you for giving Mouse Treasure the chance to cultivate a New Technique..."

Lu You waved her hands, her words jumbled. As someone with severe social anxiety, she didn’t know how to express her gratitude. She just kept repeating her thanks, her face turning red. She wanted to say something else but didn’t know what.

After all, she didn’t have the money to pay for the Cultivation Technique’s instruction fee. She could only think of a way to repay Gu Ming after the college entrance exams.

Gu Ming waved his hand, not minding what Lu would have to give in return.

After all, he had invited Mouse Treasure to come and practice the technique precisely to find a suitable test subject for studying the Wood Escape Ultimate Skill.

This was Mouse Treasure’s reward for being a training partner. It was what it deserved.
