On the other side, He Xiangming was staring at her hand incredulously. Her cultivation of the Spirit Beast technique had advanced to an extremely high level, and the unique trait of this technique was the natural affinity for spiritual beasts, making them feel unconsciously and subtly drawn to her!
Unexpectedly, it not only failed to win the beast’s closeness, but even her seemingly foolproof protection almost cracked under the tiny creature’s touch.
This little creature had only undergone transformation for a few days, and considering her own cultivation level, although the aura shield that almost broke was just a defense formed by body spirit energy and very limited in power, He Xiangming distinctly felt that this little creature had not even exerted its full strength, or at least not its uttermost.
If it had really used all its strength, she guessed that there’d probably be a hole in her hand right now!
This realization makes He Xiangming even more shocked.
Looking at the Cloud Piercing Eagle and Sky Splitting Falcon, who had already flown onto the tree and were leisurely grooming their feathers, He Xiangming’s eyes were filled with fervor.
She turned her head to look at Feng Yin and asked more urgently, “How did you do that?”
Feng Yin shrugged, “How did I do it… well, it just happened, I didn’t do anything special…”
This is the kind of comment that could only be used to deceive the ignorant!
He Xiangming sneered inwardly a few times.
“Why did they grow so fast?”
“Well…”
Feng Yin hesitated for a moment, then said, “I don’t know specifically, all I did was pair them with suitable food, potions, massages, and communicate with them regularly… There’s really nothing extraordinary about it, it isn’t hard at all.”
Feng Yin gave He Xiangming a look that said ‘what’s so remarkable about that?’
He very much gave an impression of looking at a bumpkin: You don’t understand this?
He Xiangming felt like vomiting blood.
“Speak up, what method did you use?” He Xiangming insisted.
Feng Yin immediately wore a distressed expression, saying, “Sister He, that… that’s my secret.”
“Oh, oh, oh…”
He Xiangming instantly blushed, realizing that in her overwhelming shock, she had committed a taboo of the martial world, prying into other people’s unique secrets.
“But if Sister He needs to know, I can tell you.”
Feng Yin earnestly said, “I don’t mean to hide anything. I might keep it a secret from others, but if Sister He wants to know, then it’s no problem. Of course, the key is my special affinity for spiritual beasts. I don’t know why, but spiritual beasts generally won’t attack me when they see me.”
He chuckled shyly, “Of course, the scope of the ‘spiritual beasts’ refers to low-grade ones. I haven’t tried with high-grade beasts…mainly because I’m not daring enough to.”
“No need to go on, I don’t mean to pry into your secrets!”
He Xiangming was genuinely embarrassed at this point, feeling her face heating up.
The Beast Taming Sect has its own secrets.
She had previously revealed the mystery of the Spirit Beast Technique to Feng Yin to explain why she felt something about Feng Ying, but also because the secret of the Spirit Beast Technique was no longer a secret, it was known by any cultivator with some experience and knowledge. Furthermore, what she had revealed was merely the easy part of the Spirit Beast Technique mystery, far from the whole.
Could the secrets of the Beast Taming Sect be shared with others?
Could Ling Yunduan’s secrets be shared with others?
He Xiangming naturally understood the principle behind this, and any sect disciple should understand.
But that didn’t stop her from doubting, not in the least.
Especially when Feng Yin brought up his special constitution, she’d never heard of a constitution that favored by demon beasts.
He thought for a moment, and with a flick of her hand, a small bird rushed out of her body and flew into the sky.
“Little brother, it’s not that I don’t trust you.”
He Xiangming said apologetically, “Mainly because I’ve never heard of the type of constitution you mentioned, allow me to verify it. Of course, let me be clear beforehand, whether it’s because of your unusual constitution, a natural closeness to demon and spiritual beasts, or for some other reason, I won’t force you to do anything.”
He Xiangming’s words were filled with sincerity.
They were not empty words or window dressing but truly heartfelt. As she said, whatever the reason, this young man’s worth was already enough to be recognized by the Beast Taming Sect.
She had three subsequent plans. One was to recruit or directly bring him back to the Beast Taming Sect, either as one of them or as a prisoner serving as a Beast Taming Sect slave. But this is a last resort; given the value and potential Ling Yunduan had shown, even if he was trapped for a while, his rise would mean that he would become a formidable foe she couldn’t handle, a threat to the future.
Secondly, it would be to become a partner of the Beast Taming Sect, with mutual benefits, this was a middle option, and also the hardest to control. No one is blind; once Feng Yin’s abilities and value are known, anyone would want to get involved.
The best option was the simplest but also most self-serving, He Xiangming would verify Feng Yin’s value, then choose to completely hide it, and subsequently only cooperate with Feng Yin by herself.
In this way, He Xiangming could gradually rise to the higher levels of the Beast Taming Sect, or even the core, or even… ultimately ascend to the position of sect leader, based on her constant dealings with high-quality demon beasts.
But Feng Yin could not be revealed in the process.
Until…she realized her ultimate goal, this relationship might change.
But the current He Xiangming wasn’t thinking so far ahead just yet.
The reason she was in such a hurry to have the cubs sent over for testing was that she saw the potential for this path to reach the heavens.
Human nature is always like this.
When something beneficial is seen, the first thing that comes to mind is always what benefits it brings to oneself and how to extract the maximum benefit.
Feng Yin, who has experienced two lives as a human, naturally has a firm and precise grasp of this.
He always showed a modest and shy, loyal and honest face, and his gaze was focused on He Xiangming with utmost sincerity.
But deep inside, he had been carefully observing all of He Xiangming’s reactions.
Not a single ripple stirred in his heart.
Because all of this was within Feng Yin’s expectations.
At first, he hadn’t intended to capitalise on his connection with He Xiangming, but by chance, she took the initiative to approach him, so he went with the flow and climbed the ranks naturally.
He was still too weak at this point. He couldn’t afford to dismiss any potential allies, and he had to avoid making enemies as much as possible.
Especially after confirming He Xiangming’s character flaws, Feng Yin was even more certain of this.
“She is young and already in charge of a region. Although her personal strength is part of it, a large part is likely due to her connections with the upper ranks of the Beast Taming Sect.”
“To be in charge of a region, one needs ability, connections, and experience. Yet, being in Tiannan, one of Great Qin’s most impoverished borderlands where wars plague it all year round and also a border region among three countries, is unusual. This place is hardly desirable.”
“From this, another conclusion can be drawn. While He Xiangming’s abilities and connections are extraordinary, among the young generation of the Beast Taming Sect, she is not top-tier. There is a limit or constraint to her potential.”
“He Xiangming is cunning and has her tricks, but this woman has likely been protected too well that she still has a hint of innocence left in her heart. Whether it’s because of her looks or something else, that innocence has not been completely obliterated. That’s why she did what she did earlier, offering assistance to someone who caught her fancy in a blink of an eye.”
“But she does have a bottom line. After investigating me, she will find my background mysterious.”

“So, she will certainly be wary of me at this point, experiencing the dilemma of ‘riding a tiger being difficult to get off.’ Yet during this time, she will question her previous decision. The opportunity to continue our relationship is… showing my worth. I must be of use to her!”
“So relying on my good looks will not last.”
“Having a value that can be used, and the benefits are rich, it’s hard to give up. This is the lasting way of interactions. After all, the only everlasting thing is self-interest!”
“After reaping huge benefits, the Tiannan District is no longer her limit, nor is it her end goal. Everyone is the same. Even the most honest people will only want to aim higher.”
“And I, am the one who can provide you with that opportunity.”
Feng Yin continued to smile with his usual honest expression.
Having been through the age of knowledge explosion, his understanding of people’s hearts could not be matched by his peers in this world.
With a wave of his hand, the young eagle and falcon flew down. Responding to his instructions, they fluttered gracefully, sometimes piercing the sky like arrows, sometimes turning lightly as if they were skimming water.
He Xiangming watched, her eyes widening, her heart burning.
They were so obedient and so intelligent.
How could this be possible for cubs that were not even a month old?
Let alone the fact that these two are Cloud Piercing Eagles and Sky Splitting Falcons, natural enemies, yet they could get along so harmoniously, cooperating seamlessly.
Look at these two little things, they are so close to each other.
He Xiangming was puzzled, it was an incredible kind of puzzle.
She casually asked Feng Yin a few questions about training and nurturing pets, but was stunned to find that he knew nothing about it, ignorant as a newbie.
As an expert in raising pets, He Xiangming could judge that Feng Yin was not pretending; he genuinely couldn’t even pretend to be this clueless.
Just three professional questions were all it took for He Xiangming to entirely determine: This guy must be relying on his natural talent, the way he does things is so unconventional.”
He follows the same routine to raise cats and birds!
He even pets the birds!
This is genuinely unheard of!
But these two birds had no resistance to his unconventional methods and even seemed to enjoy it…
Is there any room for refine such an appalling routine?
But the results are what matter; practice leads to genuine knowledge, and he can do it!
Even if He Xiangming was uncomfortable with it, she had no choice but to endure and keep glancing at Feng Yin’s petting routine.
On the other side, Feng Yin was enthusiastically petting the birds as they began to narrow their eyes, looking as if they were about to fall asleep…
“This is really, quite an odd bird, raised by an odd person. The sayings do not lie, ‘like master, like pet.'”
He Xiangming sighed deeply.
Meanwhile, Feng Yin took the opportunity to bring out the Spirit Beast Pill provided by the Universe Building, “I also have this.”
