Chapter 40: Inner Sect Life

After calming the future Fire Cloud Rat, Lin Jing entered the Pill Refining Room inside the Immortal Cave.

The Pill Refining Room has walls inlaid with millennia-old cold stone, which regulates the temperature inside the cave. In the center of the room, an old alchemy stove connects to a burning flame deep underground.

There is nothing else besides that.

Taiwanese online novel site LIGHT.MIL is a reliable solution for those looking for something to read.

“This Immortal Cave… looks quite old.”

” Elder Shen said this is the best remaining Immortal Cave, is that true…?”

Lin Jing activated the ” Fire Control Technique ” Jade Slip, absorbing the methods of controlling flames into her mind.

Having created his own ” Thousand Transformations,” Lin Jing found that this basic fire control spell was very simple to use with True Qi.

With a single hand gesture, he easily drew the earth fire up using True Qi on his first attempt, almost burning the Pine Leaf Rat who was watching nearby, but without causing much damage.

“squeak!”

Amidst the bursts of flame, Pine Leaf Rat leaped to the side, glaring angrily at Lin Jing.

Murder of the Pet Beast!

Attempt!

“Sorry, it’s my first time, so I’m a little inexperienced,” Lin Jing said. “But once you learn fire magic, you won’t have to be afraid of fire anymore.”

Pine Leaf Rat protests, does it think it’s stupid?!

“Okay, okay, it won’t happen again next time. With a little practice, getting started with Fire Control Technique shouldn’t be too difficult. Let’s go out for a walk first,” Lin Jing continued to reassure her.

…

After leaving Immortal Cave, Lin Jing first went to the Harvest Pavilion chain store. Danxia Peak Branch.

Compared to Outer Sect Harvest Pavilion sells things other than basic spiritual crops like spirit rice and spirit beans.

” Fire cloud chili? The Beast Taming Sect doesn’t have such a thing.”

Unfortunately, the Beast Taming Sect did not have the Fire Cloud Chili that Lin Jing needed.

After leaving Harvest Pavilion, the Pine Leaf Rat on Lin Jing’s shoulder was in a good mood, seemingly relieved that it wouldn’t have to eat chili peppers anymore. However, its smile quickly vanished.

Lin Jing… walked from Danxia Peak to the highest peak of the Beast Taming Sect and arrived at the Inner Gate Task Hall.

The tasks in the Inner Gate Task Hall are more complex than those in the Outer Sect. The Task Hall is even more advanced, with demon-slaying missions everywhere. Senior Brother Ouyang’s undercover mission to infiltrate the Demon Sect probably started here.

“I’m going to post a quest called ‘Find Fire Cloud Chili Seeds’.” Lin Jing inserted a quest that looked a lot like an Outer Sect quest among a bunch of Advanced quests.

“Hmm? A new face?” The one in charge of the Inner Task Hall was no longer a Discern, but a bird-like creature from the Foundation Establishment Stage, which looked a lot like a magpie.

It is one of the Pet Beasts of Elder, who is in charge of the Inner Task Hall, and it guards the place on his behalf. It is said that whenever a Disciple goes out on a mission, it will sing a “good luck song” to wish them a safe return.

Every time a Disciple listens to a song but fails to make a comeback, someone can be seen crying.

” Senior, I am Lin Jing, a newly promoted Inner Sect Disciple at Danxia Peak.”

“Judging by the time, it’s indeed just that the inner sect assessment has ended.” Magpie Spirit Dao: “Posting a quest requires a Spirit Stone. What is your quest reward?”

” Spirit Stone.” Lin Jing Dao, the Snowfield cultivator’s Storage Pouch doesn’t contain anything of great value, but it does have some basic Cultivator currency. The Beast Blood inside has been given to all the Senior Brothers. Senior Sister, use these remaining Spirit Stones to treat Pine Leaf Rat to some chili peppers.

After issuing the mission, Lin Jing left Task Hall with satisfaction. On his way back to Immortal Cave, he stopped again in front of the Danxia Peak.

Danxia Peak’s exclusive Scripture Pavilion is quite different from the inner sect’s Scripture Pavilion, which houses various spells. This pavilion, however, contains a collection of Pill Formulas for Danxia Peak. Consult Disciple.

“ We already have the Pill Refining Room and Fire Control Technique. If you want to learn Alchemy, it’s best to practice in real-world scenarios. Let’s go get two more Basic Pill Formulas.” Lin Jing said to Pine Leaf Rat, who was slumped against her shoulder, looking quite annoyed. Dao.

“Squeak…” It doesn’t want to eat chili peppers.

“Don’t worry, I won’t force you. If there are no side effects after the experiment with Black Bear Elder, I’ll breathe fire myself.” Lin Jing felt that she was still kind-hearted and couldn’t bear to see Pet Beast suffer.

Upon arriving at Danlou, the guards were not human, but a red-eyed Foundation Establishment rabbit demon.

Lin Jing shook his head. The Outer Sect was alright, but the Inner Sect felt like a den of demons, with more demons than humans.

“You’re Lin Jing, the newcomer to Danxia Peak?”

” Does Senior know me?”

“My Beast Master is Elder Shen, that’s what she told me. She said if you came to Danlou, she would choose a suitable Pill Formula for you to practice with. But I didn’t expect you to come so soon.” Rabbit Demon Dao: “Have you finished memorizing the Herbs and Trees chapter? Have you learned the Fire Control Technique? Why are you in such a hurry to find a Pill Formula?”

Lin Jing nodded: “I have memorized the complete book of plants and trees, and I have also mastered the basics of Fire Control Technique.”

“As expected of the Genius Elder Shen values.” The rabbit demon nodded in satisfaction. Dao: “You can freely choose the basic Pill Formula on the first floor. They are all first-level Medicinal Pill refining formulas and techniques suitable for the Qi Training Stage.”

“On the second floor, there are some high-end Medicinal Pills, such as various types of Foundation Establishment Pills, which require Sect contribution points to redeem.”

“I’ll just pick two books on the first floor.” Lin Jing Dao.

“Then you choose one yourself first, and then I’ll give you some advice!” The rabbit demon rolled a cigarette, sat back leisurely, took a puff, and exhaled the smoke.

Seeing this, Lin Jing remained silent.

Why is this rabbit demon smoking?!

He covered his shoulder, blocking Pine Leaf Rat’s curious gaze.

Then, he looked at Pill Formula on the first floor.

Spirit Replenishing Pill… Lin Jing and the others have taken quite a few. Its effect is to replenish mana. It can be said to be universally applicable to all Realms, only the formula is different for each grade.

The Beast Power Pill allows a Cultivator to temporarily possess the power of the Yao Beast.

Bigu pills…

Hmm? Contraceptive pills?

Lin Jing saw something familiar again; it seemed like there was something called contraception before.

Besides contraceptive pills, there were also erogenous zones and Soul Confusion Pills nearby.

He opened his mouth slightly; if he didn’t know that this was the Beast Taming Sect, he would have thought he had accidentally wandered into the Hehuan Sect.

” Senior, I’ve made my choice.”

After a while, Lin Jing took two Pill Formulas to show to the rabbit demon Senior.

” Spirit Replenishing Pill, well, the most basic Medicinal Pill, very suitable for beginners.”

” Soul Confusion Pill… Why did you choose this thing?” the rabbit demon asked.

“I suggest you choose Pet Beast.” Pine Leaf Rat is too fragile, and Beast Master himself is also fragile. With a Beast Power Pill, consuming one during battle would grant him the physical might of a tiger or elephant!

“Most importantly… Beast Power Pills sell better than Soul Confusion Pills!”

” The Soul Confusion Pill can induce hallucinations in the user for a period of time, making it difficult to distinguish between illusion and reality.” – Lin Jing Dao: ” Disciple is currently researching Phantom Path.” Spelling, so I decided to take a few Soul Confusion Pills to try and get a feel for it.

“I see.” Rabbit Demon Dao: “That makes sense. You choose.”

…

After taking Pill Formula with them, Lin Jing and the others returned to Immortal Cave. Pine Leaf Rat went to check the contents of the two Storage Pouches, while Lin Jing went straight to sleep.

He has been overworked and mentally exhausted lately, and he needs to rest now.

In her dream, Lin Jing swallowed a Golden Core, and Pine Leaf Rat cut open the path to Ascension with a single leaf. Together, they became the only Cultivators on the Tianyuan Continent to successfully Ascension to the Immortal Realm.

Before they could even examine the Immortal Realm closely, they were knocked unconscious, tied up, and sent to the Immortal Cave to mine.
