Chapter 106 - Chapter 106: Chapter 101 This is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles_i (2/2)
Every small realm is a bottleneck.
Other cultivation techniques rarely have this problem.
Qin Niu’s cultivation of the Everlasting Spring Technique is as easy as eating and drinking when it comes to leveling up.
“Xiao Qing, why don’t you feel this Dogtail Grass and see if there is anything special about it?”
As told, she walked over to the Dogtail Grass and felt it closely.
“Inside it contains a cool type of energy, quite substantial. It has much more energy than the herbs I’ve gathered.”
“It seems your cultivation of the Medicine King Sutra isn’t bad at all. By the way, I’m planning to have the craftsmen come over to rebuild the house in the next few days, do you have any requests?” Qin Niu still had more than ninety pieces of silver money, which was more than enough to build a blue-brick and tile house.
Building a common blue-brick and tile house would cost around fifty to sixty pieces of silver money.
If it was the kind of mud house that Qin Niu currently lived in, it could be built for about seven to eight pieces of silver money. A simpler mud house could be built for just two or three pieces of silver money, but then one would have to cut corners everywhere. Wood and similar materials would have to be chopped down from the mountain oneself.
As Qin Niu continued to grow stronger, and now with an added maid, the urgency to upgrade the living quarters suddenly became pressing.
It was mainly because he had money in hand that he dared to have such a thought.
“Whatever Master decides is best is fine by me.”
Xiao Qing either didn’t have any ideas, or she didn’t dare to make any requests.
“Alright then! You’ll have to take on the extra burden during these days of construction.” Qin Niu needed to cultivate bugs, practice cultivation, and plant crops— he was incredibly busy. After hiring workers for the house, he would definitely need someone trustworthy to supervise the construction.
Xiao Qing might be young, but as Qin Niu was her master and an Insect Master, those craftsmen would not dare play any tricks.
After washing up and getting dressed, he did not rush out the door.
Instead, he took a jar containing two Deepspring Herbs to where he kept his turtle.
The small turtle, sensing someone approaching, hurriedly escaped into the water and hid under the rock.
Qin Niu took out the two Deepspring Herbs and planted them in the broken jar.
Whether they could purify the water quality remained to be observed.
“Little guy, come on out!”
Qin Niu, looking through the slightly murky water, could see half of its body.
The little turtle did not move, hiding under the water.
“You mule-headed creature, I’m offering you a great opportunity, and here you are playing hard to get?”
He grabbed it out of the water in one swift motion.
Its head, limbs, and tail were all tucked inside its shell, motionless.
Looking at this scaredy-cat appearance, it was just uninteresting.
Qin Niu wondered whether deciding to tame it was the right choice.
He took out a Low-grade Contract Charm.
After biting his fingertip and activating the Talisman with his blood, he started to fully tame the little turtle.
Now that he had plenty of Silver Money and Talismans, taming a beast pet no longer posed the issue of running out of Talismans. The only consideration was whether the beast pet being tamed had enough potential for cultivation.
And what was the limit on the number of beast pets he could tame.
So far, he had only tamed an Ant Queen and a Queen Bee, far from reaching his limit.
This Ink Turtle was also fated to be with him.
It was encountered in the floodwaters by Qin Niu and captured and brought back.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t even give a second glance at such a common little turtle.
Let alone waste a precious beast pet slot on it.
As a faint golden light entered the little turtle’s body, it began to struggle.
No creature wishes to be enslaved by humans.
This is why many people, when encountering beasts they cannot tame, will go to great lengths to gain their favor and build a relationship. The reason is to weaken their resistance when the time comes to sign a contract with them.
Fortunately, the little turtle was still very young, and its will to resist wasn’t that strong.
After some effort, Qin Niu finally successfully tamed it.
After being tamed, it became much more docile.
It lay obediently in Qin Niu’s palm, sticking out its little head pitifully looking at its fierce young master.
It was so young, and it was already enslaved.
The act was devoid of martial virtue.
Even after being tamed, it still acted like a scaredy-cat turtle, a little too timid.
“Let’s take a look at your attributes first.”
Qin Niu wanted to see if it had any special powers.
Male Ink Turtle
Grade: Grade One Testudines, experience needed to level up 1.3/100
Lifespan: 57 years.
Energy: 11
Skills: Swimming Level Two 31.4/100, Hibernation Level One 0/10
Talent: Cowardly
After checking the little turtle’s attributes, Qin Niu had indeed broadened his horizons.
No wonder this little turtle was so timid.
The two insects he had tamed were much stronger than it.
The Ant Queen possessed medium intelligence and was both brave and strategic. The Queen Bee, on the other hand, had an iron will, merciless and ruthless.
As soon as it emerged from the royal platform, the first thing it did was to eliminate the other potential queen bees.
Keep in mind, those were its sisters.
Then there was this little turtle—naturally cut out to be a pushover, completely at the mercy of others, without the slightest temper.
All it knew was to tuck its head into its shell.
Shaking his head, Qin Niu put it back in the jar.
Once free, the little turtle quickly dove to the bottom of the water, hiding and refusing to come out again.
Too cowardly.
Qin Niu took some Banyan Tree Blood over. Since he had never used Banyan Tree Blood to cultivate turtles or other beast pets before, he could only rely on his experience with cultivating termites to calculate the feeding amount based on the turtle’s weight.
He deliberately prepared some minced meat, mixed with the Banyan Tree Blood, and then called it out to eat..
