Chapter Seventeen: Breakthrough

Jinzhuyuan, within a bamboo forest.

When Lin Jing and Pine Leaf Rat got tired, they would meditate and rest, absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to recuperate. Once they recovered, they would return to logging.

With the arrival of the Forest Guardian Senior Brother, Lin Jing felt that time was running out for them. Both sides had a premonition that a major crisis might befall them soon.

Sure enough, not long after they started working, two long rainbows streaked across the sky and landed in the bamboo forest, right in front of them.

The newcomers were… an elderly man in a blue robe with a dark face, and an elderly man in a black robe with a surprised expression.

” Elder Yu…and Elder Mo? You’re back?”

Lin Jing and Pine Leaf Rat were surprised to see who had arrived.

At this moment, Elder Yu saw the spiritual bamboo covering the ground and felt a toothache.

Is this something that a level 1 Disciple or a level 3 Pine Leaf Rat could accomplish?

He wasn’t really feeling sorry for Spirit Stone; it’s just that… making the mechanical bamboo Dragon wouldn’t require that many Materials at all!

“These… were all felled by you?” Elder looked at the Red Flying Leaf that Pine Leaf Rat was holding, exclaimed “Eh!”, and immediately noticed the extraordinary nature of this flying leaf.

A special spiritual plant!

The species is unknown.

With this, Pine Leaf Rat is like a Cultivator picking up a Magic Treasure; it can indeed enhance magical power. However, where did Lin Jing and the others obtain this leaf?

Moreover, throwing such flying leaves would be extremely taxing on Pine Leaf Rat, whose cultivation level is not high. So many bamboos are just too exaggerated. Are they cutting them down day and night?

What perseverance!

Suddenly… Elder thought of something, and his heart pounded wildly!

“Yes, Elder …” Lin Jing Dao: “In order not to delay the Ascension Dragon Festival activities, Pine Leaf Rat and I have not dared to slack off at all these days, only sleeping for two hours a day.”

“Hahaha! Well done!” The next moment, Elder laughed loudly, then patted Elder Yu on the shoulder and said, “Old Yu, look how hardworking the Disciple I brought back is, right? I estimate that with so much spiritual bamboo, it’s enough for you to make a mechanical dragon. Why don’t you let him go back and rest?”

“Remember not to shortchange me on the mission rewards…” After saying that, he stepped forward, summoned the clouds and mist to sweep away Lin Jing and Pine Leaf Rat, leaving only a bewildered Elder Yu.

“Damn it! That old bastard Mo Wuyai must have given this Chang Sheng Body some special training! Otherwise, how could he have achieved this level of skill in the Qi Level 3 Pine Leaf Rat?” Elder Yu cursed under his breath. “There are enough spiritual bamboos to create bamboo dragons for Foundation Establishment cultivation.”

“Nobody’s going to have an easy time at this year’s Ascension Dragon Festival! I’m going to give you guys a taste of your own medicine!”

…

Outer Sect courtyard.

Elder brought Lin Jing back, scrutinizing her and Pine Leaf Rat, and probed Dao: ” Where did you two come from, Red Flying Leaf?”

Lin Jing Dao: ” Elder, this Red Flying Leaf… was created by Pine Leaf Rat using the Divine Ability. Shortly after I contracted with it, it underwent a racial mutation! Disciple suspects that it may have mutated in the direction of the Precious Beast you mentioned!”

“ Precious Beast …” Elder’s breathing quickened, his face flushed, “ It really is so.”

“Yes.” Lin Jing nodded. Dao: “We’ve been waiting for Elder Mo to return. Is this situation… normal?”

Elder looked up and burst into laughter.

“Six pairs failed, but this time it finally worked! Hahahaha…”

Depend on!

Seeing Elder’s crazed state, Lin Jing and Pine Leaf Rat both took a step back.

After a moment, Elder turned his attention back to Lin Jing and Pine Leaf Rat, and asked, “What is its Divine Ability?!”

Lin Jing Dao: ” Glazed Immortal Eyes possess the property of turning lead into gold, capable of synthesizing a certain amount of low-level resources into another type of advanced resource!”

” Glazed Immortal Eyes?” Elder Dao: “This Red Flying Leaf must have been synthesized by Fairy Eye.”

“yes!”

“Show me,” Elder asked, looking at Pine Leaf Rat.

Upon hearing this, Pine Leaf Rat immediately appeared panting heavily, his body swaying as if about to collapse, his eyes filled with exhaustion as he looked at Elder.

“That’s true. Harvesting spiritual bamboo must have taken a lot of your energy.” As he spoke, he took out a jade bottle, poured out a white Medicinal Pill, and tossed it to Pine Leaf Rat.

“This is the Medicinal Pill ‘ Spirit Replenishing Pill ‘. After taking it, your condition will be restored to Peak!”

“Squeak?!” Pine Leaf Rat happily took the Spirit Replenishing Pill and crunched it down in one gulp. The next instant, the power of the Medicinal Pill transformed into a Spiritual Qi stream, flowing throughout its body. Unexpectedly, after consuming the Medicinal Pill, Pine Leaf Rat’s spiritual power wasn’t simply restored to its peak; its eyes glowed green, its Qi surged, and it actually managed to… Breakthrough has reached level four of Qi training!

In addition, Bloodline has a connection with Pine Leaf Rat. Lin Jing of Contract finally experienced what the so-called beast taming feedback felt like. With the breakthrough of Pine Leaf Rat, his blood surged, his spiritual energy rose, and his cultivation level Realm broke through the barrier of the first level of Qi Refining in one go, reaching the second level of Qi Refining!

Both broke through!

Elder wasn’t too surprised by Pine Leaf Rat’s breakthrough. Putting aside its rigorous “training” in the bamboo forest and its own talent, he wasn’t surprised by anything that happened to Precious Beast!

After reaching the fourth level of Breakthrough, Pine Leaf Rat regained its enthusiasm. It wanted to synthesize another Red Flying Leaf, but suddenly, it was surprised to find that the spirit bean it had planted in the yard was almost mature.

Seeing this, I really want to know Dao What effect will the synthesized spirit bean have? Pine Leaf Rat quickly picks and peels spirit beans, two, four, six… Soon, the ground is full, and more than a hundred spirit beans have been collected.

“ Spirit bean, basic Spiritual Plant, has the same effect as Spirit Rice. After consuming it, both can replenish trace amounts of Spiritual Qi.” Seeing this, Elder nodded.

And Pine Leaf Rat has also begun to use Glazed Immortal Eyes on spirit beans!

It also doesn’t know if Dao will succeed.

Fortunately, by sheer luck, Pine Leaf Rat’s Glazed Immortal Eyes shone brightly, and the pile of brown, peanut-like spirit beans on the ground were instantly enveloped in emerald light, and then… they coalesced into a fragrant, vibrant green spirit bean!

“ Elder, this is Glazed Immortal Eyes. However, this is Pine Leaf Rat’s first time synthesizing a spirit bean, so we don’t know what the effects of this new spirit bean will be.” Lin Jing examined the green spirit bean and felt that it smelled very good and was definitely a great tonic.

Seeing its vibrant appearance, which might have healing properties, reminded Lin Jing of the movie “Senju”.

“Hmm.” Elder waved his sleeve, and a black bear appeared in the courtyard, looking dazed.

“Master, what’s up?” Black Bear Monster asked, having seemed to be sleeping.

“There’s something good over there, go try it,” Elder said, pointing to the green spirit bean on the ground.

“Huh? Let me see!” Black Bear Monster was taken aback, his nose twitched, and he immediately picked up the green spirit bean and put it in his mouth.

The next moment.

Bang!

The spirit bean exploded with considerable power. The mutated spirit bean even has the effect of a Spiritual Qi bomb, so it’s not edible.
