Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Inner Sect Test!

“absurd!”

The news of Lin Jing’s feast at the Outer Sect cafeteria reached many people, including Elder Li Hai, who founded the Hunting Demon Hall.

Upon learning that Elder Yu had indeed given the green light, Dao said, “This Lin Jing must have a special physique. Even if it is a special trait, this preferential treatment is too much.”

“The more talented a Discer is, the more they should grow through tremendous challenges. Over-protecting them will only waste their talent. Throughout history, most people who achieved great Divine Abilities have had Mortal Bodies.”

“Master, there’s no other way. There are only a few Geniuses of special Physique who are willing to join the Beast Taming Sect. Now that someone is willing to join, the Sect must treat them well.” Beside him, an eagle demon Dao said, “ Of the special Physiques that Elder brought back, apart from this person and Ouyang Hao, all of them have successfully established Foundation Establishment and become true disciples. If we don’t treat them well, we will definitely discourage them.”

“Preferential treatment is certainly possible.” Elder Li Dao: “But there has to be a limit! This time, Hunting Demon Hall…” Disciple’s performance during his trials in the Great Wilderness further solidified my belief: in cultivating immortality… Heart-Nature should be my top priority!

“Look at Luo Yu. His Aptitude is average, but through his ruthlessness, fighting spirit, and cunning, he managed to incite two Yao Beasts at the ninth level of cultivation to fight each other, ultimately defeating this lowly cultivator.” Middle Stage The Cultivator reaps the benefits, obtaining the Yao Beast blood from Body Tempering!

“No, although I don’t know what’s wrong with Dao’s Lin Jing or what his Physique is, I can’t let him go down this low! I’ll go ask him if he wants to join the Hunting Demon Hall!”

“Master, this is Elder Li’s man! Can you defeat him?” The hawk demon looked at Elder Li as he stood up.

“I can’t beat them?” Elder Li looked at the eagle demon with icy eyes: “Besides the Sect Master and those Nascent Souls…” Old Ancestor, in this realm, who have I ever feared?

“You’re not afraid, but I’m the one who gets beaten up.” Eagle Demon Dao: “Master, let’s wait until after the inner sect assessment. If that kid doesn’t perform well, you’ll have a reason to bring him over for training, right?”

“Alright.” Elder Li Dao: “We’ll wait until after the assessment.”

Fortunately, Elder Mo and Elder Yu were unaware of Elder Li’s thoughts; otherwise, they would have definitely smashed this old bastard who wanted Chang Sheng to suffer without any pain.

…

In the courtyard.

Lin Jing patted her belly and lay swaying on the bamboo chair while reading.

He was looking at… past announcements of internal assessments.

Over the years, the format of the inner sect promotion assessment has been largely the same, and the Elders are too lazy to come up with new tricks every year.

“During registration, cultivation level will be checked. Only those who have reached level seven or above in either Beast Master or Pet Beast cultivation level are eligible to participate in the survival trial!”

“The Survival Trial: The Beast Taming Sect will throw eligible Outer Sect Disciple into the outer edge of the Great Wilderness, requiring them to survive there for 3 days.”

“During this process, Disciple can earn assessment points. The stronger the Yao Beast hunted, the higher the points. At the same time, Disciple are encouraged to compete with each other and eliminate other Disciple, which can earn more points than hunting Yao Beast!”

“However, the one with the highest score… is still the Yao Beast!”

“If you can get a wild Yao Beast to follow you and become your master in the Great Wilderness, you can get far more points than killing Yao Beasts and eliminating other Discers!”

“Finally… after 3 days, the 8 people with the highest scores passed the assessment.”

“And this… is not over yet! The eight people who pass the assessment need to choose the inner peak they want to join and undergo a ‘talent assessment’.”

“If Danxia Peak is chosen, the Elder of Danxia Peak will give the Disciple a preliminary exposure to Alchemy. If the Disciple does not learn Alchemy efficiently during this period and does not have the talent in this area, Danxia Peak will not accept the Disciple and will send him to another peak.”

Lin Jing looked at the resources that could be redeemed with the assessment points from previous years.

Sure enough, there were storage pouches, the largest of which was a whopping ten cubic meters!

However, he also discovered that the points required to redeem the Storage Pouch were excessively high; even hunting dozens of Yao Beasts at level nine of the Qi training realm wouldn’t be enough to afford it.

This clearly shows… they didn’t intend to redeem it for Disciple!

“It was already foreseeable that the Storage Pouches that Black Bear Elder would send later would not be enough for Pine Leaf Rat.” Given Pine Leaf Rat’s stockpiling speed, even a small amount of regular spirit rice or spirit bean in the Storage Pouches would be completely insufficient.

” Since we promised to give it a Storage Pouch before we signed the contract, this opportunity… is the most suitable one yet.”

“The Inner Sect Assessment in two months!”

Lin Jing’s eyes flickered.

“I’ve almost never heard of any Discord getting into trouble during the promotion assessments over the years. If nothing unexpected happens, the assessments must have been conducted under the protection of the Elder. The outer perimeter of the Great Wilderness must have been specially cleared out as well. In that case, perhaps we can be a little bolder.”

…

With a new goal in mind, Lin Jing and Pine Leaf Rat continued their preparations for the inner sect promotion assessment.

Originally, their daily routine should have consisted of cultivating, stockpiling supplies, and eating in the cafeteria. However, because Elder Yu was worried that Lin Jing and the others would always eat and drink excessively in the cafeteria, which would have a negative impact, Elder Yu gave Lin Jing and the wild Spirit Beasts that the Sect had captured the same privileges.

Home delivery and meal delivery.

Lin Jing and the others no longer need to go to the cafeteria themselves. Every day at mealtimes, the cafeteria will pack up a large amount of food and deliver it to Lin Jing’s place.

Lin Jing and Pine Leaf Rat never imagined that the tedious process of cultivating immortality could be so enjoyable.

Time flies like an arrow.

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye. Lin Jing is getting more and more used to his new life in the Beast Taming Sect. The months of getting along have made him and Pine Leaf Rat more in sync and dependent on each other.

After two months, Pine Leaf Rat’s cultivation level successfully reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, while Lin Jing’s cultivation level also reached the third level of Qi Refining. This was mainly because the resources they enjoyed every day were comparable to those of a true disciple.

With such vast resources, other exceptionally talented Pet Beasts or Cultivators would probably have already mastered Qi. Peak, on their side, was completely focused on hoarding supplies… Although its cultivation level hadn’t improved much, it had filled the Storage Pouches that the Black Bear Elder had sent to the brim, leaving no gaps.

Pick one at random, for other Qi training For the Cultivator, it’s the trump card, and it… has a whole bag of them.

In Pine Leaf Rat’s view, this is more important than cultivating to the ninth level of Qi, it gives him a great sense of security and peace of mind.

Lin Jing, on the other hand, was simply limited by Chang Sheng’s body. Even with abundant resources and feedback from Pine Leaf Rat, he was still some distance from reaching the fourth level of Qi training. And this… was still within the Qi Training Stage, the easiest Qi Training Stage among all Realms to cultivate.

Lin Jing estimated that if he didn’t obtain the complete Beast Taming Cultivation Technique and contract more Pet Beasts, he might not be able to carry him on his own, relying solely on Pine Leaf Rat.

Let’s go.

Today is the registration day for the inner sect assessment. After registration is completed, it is estimated that we will head to the assessment location.

Lin Jing greeted Pine Leaf Rat.

“Squeak!” Pine Leaf Rat stretched out his arms and put on the Dao robe. It wasn’t the one from Black Bear Elder anymore; it was one that Lin Jing had made herself… He hung the Storage Pouch inside the Dao robe for easier carrying.

“Oh right, bring this too.” Lin Jing walked to the spirit rice, picked up a palm-sized Mechanical Bamboo Turtle watering can with a cannon on its back, which was spraying water.
