Chapter 62: The Sect Master Returns

The arrival of the Flame Dragon Carp made Lin Jing’s Immortal Cave even warmer.

Originally, it was just him and the Pine Leaf Squirrel, but now there were three living beings.

It was a pity that the Mechanical Bamboo Turtle had no intelligence, otherwise it would be even livelier.

However, whether the Bamboo Tortoise had intelligence or not, it didn’t affect the Dragon Carp sharing a table with it, as both were on the side of having no thoughts.

In the past few days, Lin Jing had not left his Immortal Cave, staying in bed most of the time, at most feeding the fish. He was too tired, and he didn’t know if it was due to frequent use of illusions or the after-effects of using the Ice Soul Gu, but he looked much more haggard.

However, although he was weak, the Pine Leaf Squirrel was surprisingly energetic, engaging in large-scale construction and afforestation within the Suspended Gourd.

Spiritual rice, spirit beans, spiritual bamboo — it planted them all over the Suspended Gourd.

In addition, with Lin Jing’s permission, it also replanted the few chili seeds it had secretly hidden.

In just a few days, all these Spiritual Plants had fully matured!

Lin Jing saw that inside the calabash, the Pine Leaf Squirrel, clad in a Daoist robe, floated with green Qingdi True Qi. It raised its hands,

And a strong wind blew, causing many golden spiritual rice plants to grow wildly as if they had taken hormones.

“The Azure Emperor Longevity Art is quite suitable for it.”

During this period, the Pine Leaf Squirrel had been Cultivating the Azure Emperor Longevity Art, transforming all the ordinary wood-attribute spiritual power in its body into Qingdi True Qi.

Qingdi True Qi had miraculous effects in controlling plants. Whether it was ripening Spiritual Plants or controlling red leaves, it made the Pine Leaf Squirrel’s efforts twice as effective with half the effort.

There were very few Cultivation Techniques that Spirit Beasts could Cultivate, and obtaining the Azure Emperor Longevity Art, which was perfectly suited to it, was no less than a Bloodline evolution for the Pine Leaf Squirrel.

With this Azure Emperor Longevity Art combined with the Glazed Immortal Eyes, given the Pine Leaf Squirrel some time to accumulate resources, even if it didn’t have a King-level Bloodline, over time, it would probably be enough to challenge a King Beast cub!

After Lin Jing recovered, he walked out of the Immortal Cave and looked at the sky outside. Mysterious, colorful, and dazzling rays of light gently scattered upon Danxia Peak.

He didn’t disturb the Pine Leaf Squirrel, which was diligently hoarding, and planned to find some nutritious food for the Dragon Carp and buy some seeds along the way.

After feeding it spiritual rice for a few days, he felt that the fish pond was already fragrant with the smell of fish soup and rice, and his Immortal Cave would soon become a land of fish and rice.

Spiritual rice was fine for the Pine Leaf Squirrel, but for the Dragon Carp, small shrimp and insects were best.

Ultimately, Lin Jing spent a huge sum of money to buy a bag of small shrimp, said to be very nutritious, from Nine Dragon Peak for the Dragon Carp, which had been raised in spiritual springs all year round.

“Eat quickly, eat quickly~” Returning with the shrimp, he poured the small shrimp into the fish pond.

At this time, a small fish pond had been dug out in the Immortal Cave by Lin Jing for the Dragon Carp’s activities. The fish tank was still too small, unless he needed to travel far in the future, then he would need to carry the fish tank.

While feeding the Dragon Carp, Lin Jing also conducted early education.

“Don’t learn from the Pine Leaf Squirrel; it’s not even willing to transform into a weapon for me, its Beast Master, to use.”

“I’ll raise you well. After you transform into a Dragon, how about I use ‘Beast Transformation Treasure’ to turn you into a ‘long spear?'”

Lin Jing fantasized about his heroic image, clad in silver armor, with his spear thrusting like a Dragon.

However, as he imagined, the long spear in his hand turned into a sniper rifle… Lin Jing shook his head frantically.

“Cultivate!”

He walked to the depths of the Immortal Cave, entered the Pill Refining Room, and began to Cultivate Alchemy himself.

Since the Dragon Carp didn’t seem to be able to provide spiritual fire at the moment, he temporarily used earth fire for Alchemy.

Although the quality of the Medicinal Pills produced this way would be lower and the success rate would also be lower, it indeed tested the proficiency of the Fire Control Technique more, allowing Lin Jing to practice better.

Whether it was Spirit Replenishing Pills or Soul Confusion Pills, Lin Jing had already instructed the Pine Leaf Squirrel to plant and rapidly ripen the Spiritual Plants for these two Medicinal Pills. Next, he would have a large amount of Materials to improve his Alchemy skills.

Don’t be afraid of low Alchemy talent; practice makes perfect! Besides, he wasn’t slow at learning things.

In the blink of an eye, a month later.

During this month, the Cultivation of the Pine Leaf Squirrel, Lin Jing, and the Dragon Carp remained the same, without a Breakthrough, but their foundations became richer.

The Pine Leaf Squirrel had been hoarding, while Lin Jing had been doing Alchemy, also accumulating a lot of Soul Confusion Pills.

Through a month of practice, Lin Jing’s success rate in refining Spirit Replenishing Pills and Soul Confusion Pills had reached over 90%, which was quite good.

After all, he himself was only at the fourth layer of Qi Condensation, and the flame he used was ordinary earth fire, and he didn’t have a good Pill Furnace.

If the setup were better, a 100% success rate wouldn’t be impossible.

Mechanism Art — Alchemy — Lin Jing had mastered them one by one, acquiring more and more knowledge, but he still had many things to do. He had not yet learned the Divine Wood Seal taught by the Divine Pine.

The Divine Wood Seal required wood attribute power to be performed. Lin Jing himself did not have wood attribute, so this Seal technique could only be performed and practiced by him and the Pine Leaf Squirrel together.

The learning of this Seal technique — could not be neglected, as it concerned whether he could mobilize the power of the Ice Soul Gu.

Closing the Pill Refining Room, Lin Jing called out to the Pine Leaf Squirrel in the Suspended Gourd, saying, “It’s been a month. Next, we’ll Cultivate the Seal technique together.”

“Once the Seal technique is mastered, you can go and improve your Qi Condensation Cultivation, and I should also improve my Cultivation.”

After speaking, he took out the object to be sealed: a bag of small shrimp.

And just as Lin Jing was immersed in Cultivation, in the distance, a flock of Immortal Cranes flew into the Great Wilderness Region, to the outside of the Beast Taming Sect’s protective array, and into the Sect.

On one of the Immortal Cranes, a man with a weathered face sat at the forefront. On the other Immortal Cranes were extremely young Cultivators, male, female, androgynous, all with extraordinary temperaments.

In addition, several terrifying Demon King figures accompanied the crane flock, escorting them, each with a fierce expression.

“The Sect Master and Old Ancestors are back!!!”

Many Elders went out to greet them, not understanding why the Sect Master and others, who had gone out for training with the True Disciples, had returned to the Sect so early.

Didn’t they agree to go directly to the Tian Yuan Grand Meet after the training was completed?

Beast Taming Summit Conference Hall.

Xu Xiaoyao, the fifth-generation Sect Master of the Beast Taming Sect, sat in the Sect Master’s seat. On both sides below were the various Golden Core Elders of the Sect.

For some unknown reason, even several Nascent Soul Demon King Old Ancestors, who rarely participated in Sect meetings, had arrived with their true bodies and Clones this time.

Elder Mo sat on one side. Although he didn’t know why the Sect Master and others had returned so early, he was eager to inform the Sect Master about his discovery of Lin Jing, such a Genius, to shock him.

He believed that with Lin Jing, the Beast Taming Sect could prosper for at least another ten thousand years! At that time, there would not be the current situation where the six Demon King Old Ancestors all had higher Cultivation than the Sect Master. However, who knew that the next sentence from Sect Master Xu Xiaoyao caused all the Elders present to change their expressions and reveal an incomprehensible look.

“Everyone, my Beast Taming Sect — may have to disband for a period. Soon, the Sect’s Spiritual Vein will be sealed.”

“The Zong Guan Mansion has issued a notice, stating that my Beast Taming Sect’s ‘Demon Fortune’ outweighs its ‘Human Fortune,’ and in terms of destiny, it is no longer a human Sect, going against the national destiny. They found me and ordered the Sect to be sealed for rectification for a period of one hundred years. After one hundred years, if it is still in its current state as a Demon Sect, the Beast Taming Sect — may cease to exist.”
