Chapter 108: The Executioner, Lin Jing

News of Lin Jing wanting to establish the Dragon Palace Organization was also spreading within the academy.

Outside an Immortal Cave, a Cultivator with a third eye glanced at the intelligence letter in his hand, smiled, and then burned it to ashes.

“These newcomers are truly getting more arrogant one by one. I remember I personally invited this Lin Jing to join the ‘Pupil Alliance’. It would have been one thing if he hadn’t chosen to join, but he actually went and established his own organization.”

“Rising Dragon Pill? A Qi Refining Cultivator from a third-rate Sect is actually playing at forming cliques? A year? Two years? No, probably a few months, and this so-called Dragon Palace will disband.”

A frail youth dressed like a scholar walked out from behind him and said, “The founders of the organizations within the academy are all Foundation Establishment Cultivators on the heavenly pride ranking just like you. Even if he has good talent, he is being too hasty. Without sufficient personal strength and reputation, he will likely run into trouble very soon. For someone like him, relying on a major power is the optimal choice.”

“Perhaps it’s because he is anxious about his Sect being sealed and is eager to recruit successors from other Sects. If the Beast Taming Sect has many allies among the Human Race, the Luck of the Human Race will also tilt in their favor.” Liu Yu spoke, “But if this Rising Dragon Pill is truly as powerful as the rumors say, he won’t be able to keep it given his strength and background. After all, even I am extremely tempted after hearing about it.”

“Although I feel it is somewhat unrealistic to think one can Cultivate a Dragon Clan king blood Yao Beast using just the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique and a Medicinal Pill, those guys won’t care about that. They will likely find a way to get their hands on the Pill Formula.”

On the other side, outside Lin Jing’s Immortal Cave, visitors were endless.

The promotional effect of the Rising Dragon Pill was too good, exceeding imagination. Many people came to inquire, which affected his Alchemy. Over the past few days, many newcomers had pre-ordered the Medicinal Pill, as well as some veteran students who were not doing well.

This was all thanks to Xu Zhizhi’s publicity.

“After Wang Xiao quelled the Dragon Carp, he himself accepted a Rising Dragon Pill. It seems he intends to Cultivate a Dragon Pet!”

“A Divine Physique is naturally a path to invincibility; more Dragon Pets mean more paths!”

“If even a Divine Physique approves, what are you all waiting for? On the path of immortal cultivation, if you are slow by one step, you will be slow every step!”

Wang Xiao seemed to have left Hidden Dragon City recently. Although Xu Zhizhi did not spread rumors, as more people talked about it, rumors arose, even including tales of him being scared into peeing by a Dragon Carp. Even so, he had not appeared. Xu Zhizhi guessed that he must have returned to the Wang family to look for a Yao Beast with a powerful Bloodline.

“Is Lin Jing here?”

On this day, another person arrived.

“Who are you?” Lin Jing walked out of his Immortal Cave and looked at the black-robed youth with an imposing aura before him.

The other party’s cultivation was extraordinary, and there was an air of nobility between his brows. Lin Jing vaguely sensed that this person was likely at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Realm.

“My name is Chu Ren. Will you sell the Pill Formula for the Rising Dragon Pill?” the black-robed youth asked.

“I only sell the Medicinal Pill, and it is sold with priority to those about to join the ‘Dragon Palace’. I do not sell the Pill Formula.” Lin Jing shook his head.

The black-robed youth continued, “You set the price; you won’t be disappointed.”

“The Rising Dragon Pill uses unique Materials from the Beast Taming Sect. Even if I sold you the Pill Formula, Your Excellency would be unable to refine it yourself.” Lin Jing said.

Chu Ren frowned, “Is there truly no room for negotiation? Do you not know who I am?”

“The Chu family of the Ancient Domain, ninety-eighth on the heavenly pride ranking, Chu Ren, Foundation Establishment Great Perfection. Who the hell do you think you are? My brother said he won’t sell, so he won’t sell.” Just then, another figure landed outside the Immortal Cave. The newcomer was also dressed in black and was looking at Chu Ren with a warning expression.

“It’s you.” Chu Ren curled his lips when he saw Gao Sheng.

“Your Excellency should think about it again.” He glanced at Lin Jing one last time before leaving.

After Chu Ren left, Lin Jing looked at Gao Sheng, “Brother Gao knows this person?”

Gao Sheng snorted and said, “I know him. Originally, he was just like me, a spoiled brat with an extraordinary background, but his talent is better than mine, and he possesses an Innate special Physique.”

“He must have taken a liking to the Rising Dragon Pill and thought that since you come from the Beast Taming Sect, a small Sect, you would be easy to bully and have no one to back you up, so he intended to force a purchase.”

“We did plenty of this kind of thing back then. Of course, I am no longer a spoiled brat; I have turned over a new leaf. Brother Lin, don’t worry. With me here, he won’t succeed. Besides, within the academy, he wouldn’t dare act recklessly.”

Lin Jing shook his head and said, “So such people really do exist. It’s fine. When I was selling the Mechanical Bamboo Gun, I was already mentally prepared. However, it seems the Mechanical Bamboo Gun didn’t have much appeal to most people, but this Rising Dragon Pill is different.”

“Indeed.” Gao Sheng nodded and said, “The Chu family raises a king blood Yao Beast, and that king blood Yao Beast breeds extremely frequently and has many dragon cubs. Presumably, Chu Ren has taken a liking to the fact that the Rising Dragon Pill can nurture a King-level Bloodline. Compared to the Mechanical Bamboo Gun, this Medicinal Pill is far more valuable.”

“Anyway, let’s leave him aside for now. I have already taken care of the matter you entrusted me with last time.”

Gao Sheng chuckled and said, “I pulled some strings at home, so you’ll have to thank me properly.”

Lin Jing’s heart stirred, “It’s taken care of?”

“Yes. In this Hidden Dragon City, there is actually an Immortal Prison for detaining demonic Cultivators, which is controlled by the Demon Subduing Division.”

“I have arranged the connections to let you work as an executioner for a period of time.”

“In Hidden Dragon City?” Lin Jing was slightly surprised, “Hidden Dragon City has many powerful experts from the academy guarding it; can demonic Cultivators appear here?”

Gao Sheng explained, “No, these demonic Cultivators are escorted here from all over the Ancient Kingdom.”

“The Tian Yuan Ancient Kingdom was founded on Luck. These demonic Cultivators who wreak havoc in various regions harm the Luck of the Ancient Kingdom.”

“But similarly, executing them will also strengthen the national Luck.”

“However, where these demonic Cultivators are beheaded is also very particular about Feng Shui. Hidden Dragon City is a place where Luck gathers; executing demonic Cultivators here has many benefits for the academy geniuses cultivating here.”

“I see.” Lin Jing understood, “Then when can I start the job?”

The Demon Subduing Division’s Immortal Prison in Hidden Dragon City is located deep underground.

Gao Sheng led Lin Jing through layers of checkpoints and arrived before an underground prison gate. Outside the gate, a Core Formation Cultivator filled with heavy Killing Intent was already waiting.

“Young Master Gao, this is the Young Master Lin you mentioned, right?” The Demon Subduing Guard, covered in Killing Intent, stared at Lin Jing expressionlessly.

“Yes—Uncle Zhang, I leave this brother of mine in your care.” Gao Sheng smiled.

“It’s a small matter.” After saying this, the Demon Subduing Guard surnamed Zhang looked at Lin Jing and said, “Young Master Lin, I see you are only at the Qi Refining cultivation level, but the Evil Qi inside the Immortal Prison is extremely heavy. The prisoners sent here are at least at the ‘Foundation Establishment’ level and have countless lives on their hands. Before you carry out the execution, would you like to first Cultivate a Spell to clear your heart and steady your spirit?”

“Otherwise, I am worried that after a long time, Young Master Lin might be affected by this place, just like me back in the day—if I didn’t kill someone for a day, I would feel uncomfortable all over.”

“I have told him about this.” Gao Sheng said seriously, “Brother Lin, just Cultivate some basic small Spells like the ‘Heart Clearing Art’. There is a collection here. Next, let Uncle Zhang take you to choose one. These Spells are mandatory for Cultivators working here.”

The Demon Subduing Guard surnamed Zhang said, “That’s right. I currently Cultivate the’Seven Killing Divine Sword’ to transform Killing Intent. However, since Young Master Lin does not intend to stay here for a long time, it is better to Cultivate some that are easier to get started with.”

“Thank you.” Lin Jing nodded. Although he had prepared Medicinal Pills, more preparation was always good.

Suddenly, Lin Jing thought of something and asked, “May I ask if there are any Buddhist Spells here?”

He thought to himself that he seemed to have been blessed by a powerful expert from the Demon Subduing Division, making the cultivation of Buddhist Spells twice as effective with half the effort. He knew his own cultivation talent was not high, so in order to get started quickly, he should choose something simple.
