Chapter 136: Enfeoffment

In fact, it was true. If Divine Pine hadn’t taught the Pine Leaf Squirrel the Azure Emperor Longevity Art and taken them to train in the depths of the Great Wilderness, Lin Jing might still be selling Mechanical Bamboo Guns, developing extremely slowly!

Not to mention, there was also the terrifying existence of the Ice Soul Gu, which allowed Lin Jing to obtain the greatest Opportunity in the Dragon Phoenix Cave Heaven.

The key to breaking through to the Extreme Realm was also thanks to Divine Pine that it could be nurtured within his body.

It can be said that Lin Jing’s current growth speed, which sets him apart from most Chang Sheng Bodies, owes much to Divine Pine’s Demonic Path education.

“Do you think what this old man says is right?”

“I also saw the spiritual seeds you planted in Hundred Flowers Valley. Nurtured on a Spiritual Vein of that level, they would take at least sixty years to mature.”

“Planting them in someone else’s Sect carries too much risk.”

“Just leave them all to this old man. I will use my plant-based cultivation to catalyze them, and the seven spiritual seeds will mature instantly.”

“Using all of them to Cultivate Lin Jing, this Genius of the Beast Taming Sect, would be better for the Beast Taming Sect.”

Several great Yao King Old Ancestors felt cold sweat trickle down their foreheads, their minds buzzing. Each Old Ancestor wanted to say something, but feeling the powerful pressure emanating from Divine Pine, they ultimately all tacitly agreed.

“Senior is right.” After a moment of silence, Old Ancestor Wang Batian spoke, “These spiritual seeds, handled by Senior, can maximize their value as soon as possible.”

Pine Cone chuckled and said, “Since you’ve agreed, this old man will dig up those spiritual seeds. Also, don’t spread the word about this old man’s Soul Transformation. It will bring no benefit, only harm, to your Beast Taming Sect, because this old man—is no longer your Beast Taming Sect’s guardian god.”

After he finished speaking, his figure vanished again, leaving behind a group of panting Yao King Old Ancestors on the mountain.

“Will Senior Tian Du Divine Pine really use all the spiritual seeds to Cultivate Lin Jing—”

“I get four, you get three.”

“???

On the other side, Lin Jing was originally discussing Mechanism Art with Elder Yu, when suddenly Divine Pine called him out.

He brought the Dragon Carp outside.

“That Elder Mo and the Yao King Old Ancestors have agreed. All seven spiritual seeds they obtained will be given to us. I get four, you get three.”

The flying Divine Pine tossed three of the spiritual seeds to Lin Jing.

They were precisely the spiritual seeds of the Nine Yang Divine Mushroom, the Nine Lives Exquisite Grass, and the Cloud Concealed Orchid.

“What are these! Wait, all of them for us? That good?” Lin Jing was surprised.

“Nine Yang Divine Mushroom, you can give it to your Dragon Carp after it reaches the Demon Core stage. It should instantly go from Early Stage Core Formation to Core Formation Perfection, saving a lot of arduous Cultivation.”

The Dragon Carp, which had been floating beside Lin Jing, suddenly widened its eyes.

Its breathing quickened.

It knew that as long as it kept following, there would be great Opportunities!

After Core Formation—would the world be its?

The Dragon Carp looked at Pine Cone, finding it more and more pleasing to the eye, no longer remembering how the other party had beaten it.

“Nine Lives Exquisite Grass, after it matures, Qi Training Stage Cultivators can consume it to gain terrifying self-healing abilities. If an ordinary Mortal Body consumes it, even if only a skeleton remains, they should be able to Rebirth. However, you have a Longevity Physique, so the effect might be diminished. But even so, you probably won’t need blood-replenishing Medicinal Pills or similar Medicinal Pills in the future.”

“In the future, after feeding your Pet Beasts with Longevity Blood, your powerful physique will quickly replenish your depleted Qi and blood, preventing you from becoming weak.”

“Cloud Concealed Orchid, just eat it. It will prevent you from losing yourself on your future path to longevity.”

After Divine Pine finished speaking, Lin Jing took a deep breath, but he now wanted to know even more what the four spiritual seeds Divine Pine Senior had taken were.

The Nine Yang Divine Mushroom was powerful, but Lin Jing felt that he wouldn’t be able to use it for at least ten years.

The Nine Lives Exquisite Grass, while excellent, also gave Lin Jing a vague sense of unease. A Longevity Physique with extremely strong self-healing abilities—he hoped he wouldn’t really be caught by powerful Yao Beasts in the future.

As for the Cloud Concealed Orchid, although Lin Jing had a Longevity Physique, he had only been Cultivating the Dao for a few years and had not yet suffered the ravages of time, so he had no experience with it.

“What kind of look is that?”

“Do you think I took all the good stuff?”

Divine Pine saw Lin Jing’s gaze and snorted, “A Spiritual Plant that increases lifespan is useless to you. A Spiritual Plant that increases Comprehension Ability, you have the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique, so you don’t lack it either. And another one that aids Breakthrough, you have a long lifespan, so you can slowly enter seclusion, also useless. This old man plans to use these three Spiritual Plants as auxiliary, with another Spiritual Plant containing the power of heaven and earth lightning as the main, to forge a Lightning Pine Incarnation.”

“Lest I’m not proficient in lightning power and get struck dead by the Heavenly Tribulation.”

“Although your cultivation is far from needing to face the Heavenly Tribulation, remember to prepare in advance.

“Whether you Cultivate lightning techniques yourself or Contract a lightning Pet Beast, in short, you cannot be completely ignorant of lightning power.”

“Senior is right.” Lin Jing immediately nodded. Legend has it that the Heavenly Tribulation is a rule set by the Immortal Realm to test Lower Realm Cultivators, and also a means of punishment for Lower Realm Cultivators.

Essentially, it is immortal lightning.

Generally speaking, human Cultivators only experience Heavenly Tribulation when they reach the Void Profound Realm.

However, some who Cultivate special Cultivation Techniques, or some special races, may encounter Heavenly Tribulation earlier due to violating the laws of the realm.

For example, the plant race, which was forbidden from becoming spirits by the Immortal Palace.

Senior Brother Ouyang had also discussed with Lin Jing before, expressing his concern that even if a way to revive the Yao Race was found, something even more terrifying might occur, such as being targeted by the Heavenly Tribulation.

Tribulation lightning is different from ordinary lightning, being terrifyingly powerful. Most highly Cultivated Cultivators actually do not die in battles or from old age, but rather during their Breakthrough, when their Dao is not strong enough, they die under the Heavenly Tribulation’s test of the Dao.

Although Cultivating lightning techniques and nurturing lightning Pet Beasts might still make it difficult to resist the Heavenly Tribulation, it is always an extra layer of insurance compared to being completely ignorant of lightning power. At the very least, one’s own lightning resistance will be stronger.

Lin Jing returned to the main hall in a daze. At this time, Elder Mo also returned in a daze.

Elder Yu, seeing the vastly different expressions on their faces compared to when they left, couldn’t help but be puzzled.

“Lin Jing, when do you plan to leave?”

“It’s not very urgent—” Lin Jing said. Although he couldn’t stay for too long, ten days to half a month was fine.

“That’s great.”

Elder Mo took a deep breath and said, “The Yao King Old Ancestors plan to confer you as the ‘Saint Child of the Beast Control Sect.’ How about holding the ceremony a month from now? At that time, Sects from the Great Wilderness will be widely invited to attend the grand ceremony, re-establishing the prestige of the Beast Control Sect.”

Lin Jing:???

“But the Sect Master isn’t here!”

“The Yao King Old Ancestors said that the Sect Master would surely not refuse. The Sect Master has no sons or daughters, and no ‘Young Sect Master’ would suddenly appear to contend with you for the position of heir. There is only an adopted daughter, and the Cultivation Technique she practices is not the Beast Taming Art, so theoretically, she cannot become the Beast Taming Sect’s Sect Master successor.” Elder Mo looked at Lin Jing.
