Tie Sha seemed to laugh at himself, and said, "The cultivation skill of your teacher is just a facade, it's useless."
"The teacher said before, 'Form without soul,' hence unable to comprehend the Sixth Grade."
"Sixth Grade..." Tie Sha murmured, "Tales of the strange often mention immortals, but there are no immortals. If there were, it would be of this Sixth Grade. The Sixth Grade is the boundary between the mortal and the immortal. Crossing it and not crossing it are like two different worlds."
Li Yuan laughed and said, "The Sect Leader need not worry, doesn't our Blood Saber Sect have an upper sect? That upper sect surely has further cultivation skills... Alas, it's a pity I practiced the teacher's skill, so I don't have this opportunity."
"Upper sect..."
A faint, obscure sadness flashed in Tie Sha's eyes, but he said nothing. Instead, he said, "Don't be discouraged. In fact, speaking of it, your teacher's sect and my Blood Saber Sect are like brothers."
Li Yuan appeared slightly surprised, and said, "Please enlighten me, Sect Leader."
Tie Sha said, "It seems Li Yu didn't tell you. I understand, he doesn't want you to pursue more things; he only expects you to pass down the mantle of this sect.
However, this was probably his past thinking.
Given your talent now, he will tell you sooner or later."
After speaking, he turned his head and called out, "Didn't Young Master Li bring fine wine? Go, tell someone to prepare a couple of dishes and bring the wine over."
A short person answered, "Yes," and then left the courtyard.
Tie Sha said, "The upper power of my Blood Saber Sect is called the Holy Fire Palace, but the Holy Fire Palace does not only correspond to my Blood Saber Sect. There are many sects...
The power your sect is affiliated with is called the Profound Gold Temple, which also doesn't correspond solely to your sect.
The Holy Fire Palace and the Profound Gold Temple belong to the same major power. Why it is so, fear not to know without reaching that level."
"I see..."
Li Yuan roughly understood. It seemed that the founder of his Yanyue Sect might have spread out from the Profound Gold Temple and established his own power below.
He thought for a moment and asked, "How does the Court compare to this major power?"
Tie Sha looked at him deeply and said, "It is said... the Court was once such a major power, later ruling the world, commanding the mountains and rivers, and leading the people..."
As they were speaking, the food and wine were served.
Li Yuan poured wine for Tie Sha.
Tie Sha tasted it, closed his eyes, clicked his tongue twice, and praised, "Good wine! Strong wine!"
Li Yuan poured himself a cup too.
A moment later, after three or four cups, their conversation became more unreserved.
Tie Sha directly said, "I heard you have a Demon Dog?"
Li Yuan said, "This disciple only knows a little..."
Tie Sha said, "Don't say 'a little.' Being able to tame a Demon Dog is not just 'a little,' but rather considerable achievement."
He closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Demon beasts are important to every power.
Previously, the Wei Family raised two Seventh Grade Fire-Burning Flame Light Leopards, hoping that the male and female Seventh Grade Demon Beasts could give birth to some small demon beasts. Then he ordered the clan to raise them from a young age, hoping that the demon beasts would obey and could be used by his family.
The Wei Family is like this, the Sun Family is like this, and actually, my Blood Saber Sect as well...
It is just that taming demon beasts is extremely difficult.
If without great comprehension and opportunity, don't even think about it.
Therefore, we can only raise the demon beasts, but taming them is impossible."
Li Yuan said, "This disciple doesn't understand, since it can't be done, why raise them?"
Tie Sha laughed and said, "Because although we can't do it, we know that some major powers can, so we always want to try."
Then he suddenly shouted loudly, "Li Yuan!"
"This disciple is here."
"If I want you to serve not only as an Inspector but also as a Beast Master, to manage the demon beasts for my Blood Saber Sect and attempt to tame them, would you be willing?" Tie Sha's eyes burned with ambition, "When you have control over many demon beasts, it will be when my Blood Saber Sect is as solid as a rock!"
Li Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "This disciple fears his ability is insufficient..."
Tie Sha seemed prepared in advance and took out a booklet from his bosom, the cover of which was marked with the words "Wilderness Demon Taming Skill."
"This booklet contains eighth-grade and seventh-grade skills of the Demon Taming Skill, which was obtained by my Blood Saber Sect by accident, and has since been kept as a strategic skill, but unfortunately, no suitable candidate was ever found, and it has since gathered dust, now finally to be brought out.
Li Yuan, I want you to try to see if you can master it.
As for the time it takes away from your cultivation, the sect will provide additional compensation."
Li Yuan was momentarily stunned.
But then he understood immediately, whether it is cultivation skills or skills, they all require a great deal of time.
A person cultivating a single skill or type of skill, plus doing other things, already takes up almost all their time. Where would one find the energy to handle other things?
So, in Tie Sha's view, if he focuses his energy on the "Wilderness Demon Taming Skill," then naturally, there will be less time for cultivation, and this... could be seen as him sacrificing for the Blood Saber Sect.
Li Yuan said no more, and solemnly took the cultivation skill with both hands, saying, "To serve the sect, how dare I refuse? I will do my utmost and strive to master it as soon as possible."
Tie Sha looked at him with great satisfaction, then laughed heartily, "Eat, once we finish, I will take you to see the demon beasts our Blood Saber Sect raises! If you master this skill, those demon beasts will all be yours in the future!"
...
A moment later, the two were full from the meal.
Tie Sha personally led Li Yuan to a small house at the northernmost part of the Inner City.
This small house was where the Blood Saber Sect kept the demon beasts.
Upon entering, Li Yuan saw an entrance in the center of the small house, looking down from a height, and could vaguely see a deep passageway going downward, with copper wall lamps carved with blood-red patterns on both sides of the corridor.
Tie Sha seemed to activate a mechanism, and the wall lamps lit up, emitting a dim yellow light.
