Chapter 131: Hundred Flowers Valley

Compared to other Great Domains, the Desolate Domain is undoubtedly a barren territory, yet the Great Desolate is also known as a paradise for Loose Cultivators, teeming with countless Yao Beasts!

The number and variety of Vicious Beasts are considered the greatest in the Nine Regions; according to the Ancient Kingdom’s inferences, the number of Yao Kings hidden deep within the Great Desolate might also be the highest in the Nine Regions.

Many Loose Cultivators often rely on hunting Yao Beasts, using Materials from them to exchange for Spirit Stones to rent Immortal Caves on Spiritual Veins within Immortal Cities to Cultivate, living a life on the edge of a blade.

Above the clouds of the Great Desolate, a figure sat cross-legged on a flying giant Pine Cone, looking down at the Loose Cultivators fighting Yao Beasts, feeling quite sentimental.

“We’re about to enter the Desolate Domain; it’s quite a bit faster than I imagined.”

“After the Beast Taming Sect was sealed, I wonder if the situation of its Disciples will be like these Loose Cultivators.”

“Nonsense, this old man is traveling at full speed, so naturally it’s extremely fast. You snatched so many Spirit Stones, yet you were still unwilling to use a teleportation array,” came a dissatisfied voice from the Pine Cone.

“Instead of caring about the Beast Taming Sect Disciples, why not care about this ten-thousand-year-old pine?”

“All the snatched Spirit Stones combined aren’t enough to activate a one-way teleportation array once; I’d even have to pay more than half out of pocket. Besides, those Spirit Stones were all snatched by the Pine Leaf Squirrel. Senior, you know its personality; using Spirit Stones on something like this would practically kill it,” Lin Jing said. “So, I can only ask Senior to bring us back.”

“Don’t worry, nothing I promised you will be missing.”

“Heh,” the Divine Pine sneered. “Do you think this old man doesn’t know you’re using me to help you demand a Treasure Trove?”

“You’re not just stopping by to see old friends from the Beast Taming Sect—you’re clearly eyeing that Undying Demon’s treasure!”

Years ago, Lin Jing entered the Demon Suppression Pagoda that sealed the Immortal Devil Serpent and learned the location of its hidden treasure from the Immortal Devil Serpent’s mouth.

The location of this Treasure Trove was later reported to the Beast Taming Sect.

Lin Jing didn’t know if the powerful experts had gone to investigate that place after the Beast Taming Sect was sealed.

He guessed they probably had.

After all, without the Sect’s Spiritual Vein, the Cultivation of both Elders and Disciples would become a major problem.

At a time like this, if they could excavate some treasures from the Immortal Devil Serpent’s vault, it would undoubtedly alleviate the urgent need.

As the discoverer of the information, Lin Jing had also been thinking about this so-called Treasure Trove.

However, he was just a minor Qi Refining Cultivator. Even if the Sect’s Yao King Old Ancestors obtained the treasures, he would likely find it hard to get any core items, receiving at most a Magic Treasure as a reward.

But if Senior Demon Pine went to demand it, then it wouldn’t be much of a problem.

In terms of strength, Senior Demon Pine was at the Soul Transformation stage. Whatever it wanted, how could a group of Nascent Soul little demons dare to refuse?

In terms of logic, Lin Jing was the one who brought out this information. As his Dao Protector, it was perfectly reasonable for Senior Demon Pine to demand Lin Jing’s share for him.

In the Divine Pine’s view, Lin Jing wasn’t kindly planning to give it a portion of the Immortal Devil Serpent’s Treasure Trove as travel expenses.

He clearly intended for it to help him demand resources!

“How could that be?” Lin Jing said with a righteous expression.

“By the way, Senior, how many days has it been since we set out?”

“Is it the New Year yet? It should be within these couple of days.”

“What’s wrong? How would I remember!”

“January 1st is the day the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion releases the new issue of the heavenly pride ranking.”

“Let’s go to a nearby Immortal City first and buy a copy,” Lin Jing said expectantly, as the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique was about to improve again.

He planned to take this opportunity to see if he could use the Cloud Sea Mosquito Beasts and Potential Dragon Luck as food to raise the Dragon Carp to the Qi Refining Tenth Layer!

The Divine Pine snorted. “You’re certainly not stingy with this money.”

“True. Since the Beast Taming Sect would subscribe to every issue of the world report, Hundred Flowers Valley must subscribe as well. Once we reach Hundred Flowers Valley, I’ll just read it there,” Lin Jing said.

Divine Pine:

“…

The world report is a newspaper used by the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion to publish major world events; information about each new issue of the heavenly pride ranking occupies a certain section of this paper.

Although the world report publishes major political and current events that have little to do with ordinary Foundation Establishment or Golden Core Cultivators, it is, after all, the only way for Cultivators in each domain to learn about the vast Immortal Cultivation World, so many Sects subscribe to it.

Although the world report isn’t expensive, it still costs some Spirit Stones, so saving them is good.

Hundred Flowers Valley.

A second-rate Sect in the Great Desolate. Although its foundation isn’t as deep as the original Beast Taming Sect, it still has two Nascent Souls—one person and one butterfly—overseeing it.

Hundred Flowers Valley is similar to the Beast Taming Sect, possessing a unique Butterfly Taming Secret Technique and having been on good terms with the Beast Taming Sect for generations. Because butterfly-type lifeforms are short-lived, Hundred Flowers Valley doesn’t have many long-lived Yao Kings as part of its foundation like the Beast Taming Sect.

Looking at it now, however, that doesn’t seem like a bad thing.

After flying out of the Great Desolate, a streak of light continued toward Hundred Flowers Valley. After flying for a while, Lin Jing and the others soon saw a refreshing mountain range standing tall on the distant horizon.

Even before fully approaching the mountain gate of Hundred Flowers Valley, the air became increasingly fresh as they flew.

Looking down anywhere, wild flowers were everywhere, from tiny scattered blossoms to vast seas of flowers, colorful and varied in form.

“Who goes there?”

Lin Jing landed before the mountain gate of Hundred Flowers Valley, and immediately two Disciples of Hundred Flowers Valley dressed in long skirts appeared and stopped him.

The two Hundred Flowers Valley Disciples were both dressed in light, flowing gauze gowns. The gauze was embroidered with lifelike butterfly patterns, and combined with their beautiful faces, they added a touch of brightness to the valley.

The two held long swords, with a blue and a yellow butterfly resting on each of their respective blades, emitting remarkable spiritual power.

Seeing the Hundred Flowers Valley Disciples, Lin Jing couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. If even the Disciples were so refined and beautiful, the Sect Master must be even more stunning.

No wonder the Dao Companions of the second, third, and fourth generation Beast Taming Sect Masters were all Hundred Flowers Valley Masters.

It was just a pity that for some reason, the current generation Hundred Flowers Valley Master failed to become a Dao Companion with the fifth generation Sect Master, and instead, an Immortal Crane took the position—wouldn’t other Sects in the Ancient Domain spread rumors about this?

“Greetings, Senior Sisters. I am Lin Jing, an Inner Sect Disciple of the Beast Taming Sect. After the Sect was sealed, I went to a distant place to study. Having returned to the Desolate Domain this time, I wish to return to my Sect.”

As Lin Jing finished speaking, the two female Disciples glanced at each other.

One of the female Disciples, with a blue Spirit Butterfly on her sword, stepped forward. “Do you have a token? I will go and report.”

After tossing out his Beast Taming Sect Disciple token, Lin Jing expressed his thanks. The blue butterfly Disciple immediately entered the mountain gate with the token, while the other yellow butterfly Disciple sized Lin Jing up with interest.

“You must have been highly valued in the Beast Taming Sect, right? But how come I’ve never heard of you?”

“How can you tell, Senior Sister?” Lin Jing asked.

“The fact that you don’t have a Pet Beast with you means you have a beast-taming spatial Magic Treasure. That’s a treatment only True Disciples of the Beast Taming Sect receive. However, you’re only at the Qi Refining stage, so theoretically you shouldn’t be a True Disciple, and I haven’t heard of any Beast Taming Sect Elder taking a Disciple named Lin Jing.”

Lin Jing smiled; with the Divine Pine as his Dao Protector, no Elder would dare take him as a Disciple.

“I do have a Pet Beast,” Lin Jing said.

As he spoke, a black dot fell from the sky. As it slowly approached, the female Disciple realized it was a strange red Dragon Carp.

“Roar!!” The Dragon Carp landed beside Lin Jing, floating in mid-air by relying on its powerful magic power, its gaze arrogant.

It had almost let Lin Jing leave it by the Divine Pine’s side again… Close call, close call..
