Chapter 106 Longevity Foundation Establishment Pill

“What a good item!!!”

Upon seeing the Myriad Beast Universe Ring, Xu Zhizhi’s eyes lit up once again. This Gao Sheng was truly filled with treasures from head to toe!

To be honest, he was also struggling with the dilemma of what method to use to keep a Dragon Beast in check if he were to raise one later on.

They did not Cultivate the Beast Taming Sect’s Cultivation Technique and could not sign a Bloodline Contract with a Pet Beast, making it very difficult to control whether the Pet Beast would be obedient or not.

Xu Zhizhi did not want to end up raising a pet that wouldn’t listen to him.

But if he had such a Magic Treasure, he wouldn’t have this worry; he could simply use the Myriad Beast Universe Ring to erase its intelligence and subdue it.

“Brother Gao, did you buy this Magic Treasure?” Xu Zhizhi asked.

Gao Sheng nodded: “The Lotus Pavilion sells them, but stock is very limited. After all, even for the Lotus Pavilion, trading with Qingzhou is extremely difficult. The journey is too long, and there are many Yao Kings who kill and rob the shipments.”

Lin Jing held the Myriad Beast Universe Ring, feeling as if it were burning his hands: “This item is far too valuable—”

This was a Golden Core-level Magic Treasure, far more valuable than a third-grade Medicinal Pill.

“It’s about the same. After Brother Lin refines the new Rising Dragon Pill, just give priority to me,” Gao Sheng said nonchalantly.

Lin Jing was silent. The value wasn’t the main reason; by taking this, he would be turning back the clock of history. Erasing a Yao Beast’s intelligence to control it was a method discarded and banned by the Beast Taming Sect.

“Brother Lin, do not panic. On the path of cultivation, one will always encounter some blind Yao Beasts. This Myriad Beast Universe Ring is perfect for dealing with them!” Gao Sheng seemed to have perceived Lin Jing’s worries.

“I originally bought this for this year’s ‘Autumn Hunt’, but upon closer reflection, keeping such an item in my hands would be a waste. It is better for you to use it, Brother Lin.”

“Many thanks.” Lin Jing put away the Myriad Beast Universe Ring. The Beast Taming Sect was almost gone anyway, so he would just pretend he didn’t know about the sect rules. Gao Sheng’s words made sense.

“Indeed, the Autumn Hunt is approaching,” Xu Zhizhi said. “When the time comes, we can enter and see if there are any rare and exotic beasts suitable for taming.”

“Are you going to participate, Brother Lin?”

“The Autumn Hunt? We’ll see.” Lin Jing had not yet decided. The Academy Autumn Hunt occurred once every four years, organized by the Academy, where students were thrown into a certain location to hunt Yao Beasts. It was also considered an opportunity for students to make a name for themselves.

The process of hunting powerful Yao Beasts was naturally the process of a student making a name for themselves.

Besides that, its format was actually similar to the trial set by Teacher Cao back then.

Or rather, Teacher Cao’s treasure-hunting trial was a simulation of the Academy Autumn Hunt.

In the region of the Autumn Hunt, besides a large number of Vicious Beasts and fierce beasts, the Academy’s powerful experts would also place some rare Spirit Beasts from outside the Ancient Kingdom for students to compete over.

There were beasts from the snowfields, beasts from the Cloud Sea Mountain Range, beasts from Qingzhou, as well as deep-sea Spirit Beasts and desert beasts.

These rare Spirit Beasts were top-tier, whether used as mounts, Materials for Alchemy or Artifact Refining, or as cultivation Materials. Even for Golden Core Cultivators, every part of them was a treasure.

“If there is nothing else, I will go take a look. In any case, with the Academy’s experts watching, there won’t be any danger,” Lin Jing said.

“That’s true, but Brother Lin, do you intend to participate with only your Qi Training Stage cultivation???” Xu Zhizhi said. “There are still a few months until the Autumn Hunt. You should at least Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment first.”

“Even if your strength is great and you can fight Foundation Establishment Cultivators while in the Qi Training Stage, the Foundation Establishment Stage participants won’t just be freshmen like us at the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage; there will be Senior students at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and even Foundation Establishment Perfection.”

“It won’t be easy to snatch treasures from their hands when the time comes.”

Lin Jing shook his head: “I have no intention of competing with them—”

Not long after, the three of them went their separate ways.

Lin Jing walked into his Immortal Cave and took out a piece of paper with a Pill Formula.

Longevity Foundation Establishment Pill!

Reference Pill Formulas: Foundation Establishment Pill, Tree-Man Pill, 《Beast Blood Pill》, 《Life-Extending Pill》

“Foundation Establishment? I still don’t have much confidence—”

“Currently, I have only prepared the Foundation Establishment Pill formula for the Pine Leaf Squirrel.”

“I will wait until I have a success rate of over sixty percent in refining the Rising Dragon Pill before attempting to refine the Longevity Foundation Establishment Pill.”

“Furthermore, I am currently missing a crucial Material for refining the Longevity Foundation Establishment Pill—”

Lin Jing pondered, took the Pill Formula, walked out of his Immortal Cave, left the Academy, and then called out to Senior Divine Pine.

“Is Senior Divine Pine here?”

“It has been three years; you have finally remembered this old man.” The Pine Cone that Senior Demon Pine had transformed into appeared and looked at Lin Jing.

“Senior, this is the Foundation Establishment Pill formula I have deduced over the past three years by improving my Alchemy skills through Potential Dragon Luck. What do you think?” He gave the Longevity Foundation Establishment Pill formula to Divine Pine to examine.

“Hmm?” Upon seeing the Tree-Man Pill among the reference Pill Formulas, Divine Pine said in surprise: “The Academy actually possesses such a Pill Formula?!”

The Tree-Man Pill was a Pill Formula used to add a plant organ to one’s body. The creator’s original intention was to use the pill to Cultivate a certain type of plant-based Physique, but it failed and became the Tree-Man Pill. Their arms turned into tree trunks. Although it was a failure, after obtaining the Tree-Man Physique, they did indeed possess stronger methods to control vegetation. Later, others tried again; some had their hair turn into withered grass, and some had their hearts turn into fruits—

“Yes, this Tree-Man Pill can be used not only by humans but also by Yao Beasts with plant attributes. After deduction through Luck, it is the Medicinal Pill with the highest compatibility with the Foundation Establishment Pill,” Lin Jing said.

Divine Pine pondered: “Longevity Foundation Establishment Pill—those who use this Foundation Establishment Pill to achieve Foundation Establishment can obtain plant organs and gain unparalleled Lifespan—”

Lin Jing nodded: “The Lifespan of plants is far longer than that of humans or wild beasts. Even ordinary trees in the mortal world can easily live for thousands of years.”

“Therefore, through deduction, the compatibility between the Tree-Man Pill and the Longevity trait is also extremely high.”

“The most critical point lies in the compatibility between the Foundation Establishment Cultivator and a certain plant! The Pine Leaf Squirrel possesses a natal Red Leaf, but this Red Leaf is ultimately an external object to the Pine Leaf Squirrel. If the Red Leaf could be fused more perfectly with it, becoming an organ of the Pine Leaf Squirrel’s body and evolving together, that would certainly be extraordinary!”

Divine Pine stared intently at the Pill Formula, always feeling that something was not quite right.

Lin Jing’s Pill Formula was already very complete. After reading it a few times, Divine Pine said: “Something is off. You plan for this Longevity Foundation Establishment Pill to transform two types of ‘plants’ into parts of the Pine Leaf Squirrel!”

“The Red Leaf is only one of them!”

“What is the other one?”

Lin Jing pondered and said: “The Red Leaf is a plant without roots, so it still needs a root to supply it with nutrients in order for the Longevity Foundation Establishment Pill to achieve a perfect cycle.”

“The initial idea was the Blood-Sucking Vine, which could connect with the Longevity Blood.”

“However, the quality of the Blood-Sucking Vine is too low; it is not the most perfect choice.”

“I suddenly remembered that back in the Great Wilderness, you seemed to have consumed the blood of Yao Beasts, which means you, Senior, have the power to convert blood into nutrients.”

“Furthermore, you and the Pine Leaf Squirrel both Cultivate the Azure Emperor Longevity Technique; your Physique and the Pine Leaf Squirrel’s Physique are also extremely compatible.”

Demon Pine said angrily: “You little brat, are you scheming against this old man??? You want to refine me into a pill? Even Demonic Cultivators must respect their teachers and moral principles!”

“Disciple—is just asking for a Pine Cone—”
