Chapter 76: Making Good Use of Resources

“What’s with that expression?” Lin Jing looked at Dragon Carp, who was squinting.

“Pop!”

Dragon Carp gripped its fin, looking confident, believing it could defeat the green-robed gorilla it had encountered during the day.

Let it come next time!

Does Squirrel swallow the image of Dragon?

Dragon Carp should be swallowing the Dragon image!

” Dragon Clan has always been proud and arrogant; it has truly utterly evaded Bloodline,” Divine Pine transmitted telepathically.

“Okay…” Lin Jing smiled, it’s alright!

As long as you have the ability, pride and arrogance are not necessarily a bad thing!

Seeing Dragon Carp so energetic, he couldn’t wait to break through to the Foundation Establishment and then contract it!

Now that I have this top-grade beast fire, refining Medicinal Pills should be much easier in the future.

Additionally, it has Fire Qilin After Bloodline’s Dragon Carp transforms into Dragon, it’s estimated that he’ll have no problem restraining Ice Soul Gu’s power.

Ice Soul Gu’s power… he can control it soon too!

However, Divine Pine Senior, what are you still doing here?

Divine Pine Dao: “I only said I didn’t want to stay at Hidden Dragon Academy, not that I wanted to leave Hidden Dragon City!”

“Then the Senior also saw that we defeated that Foundation Establishment. ” “Where’s the Cultivator’s heroic figure now?”

” What’s so impressive about defeating a Wood Spell Cultivator? It’s all thanks to the three months of training you guys with the wooden dummies. You should get a Foundation Establishment for a Cultivate Fire Mage.” Want to try the Cultivator challenge?

Lin Jing shook her head: ” Senior is such a spoilsport.”

“I don’t know if I’m a spoilsport or not, Dao, if you don’t put out the fire soon, you’ll be sweeping up ashes.” Divine Pine reminded Dao. Dragon Carp was too excited at this moment, and the splashing beast fire directly set the wooden house on fire, with flames shooting into the sky.

“Who dares to set fire to Hidden Dragon City!” A passing Foundation Establishment watchman saw this and quickly flew over. He had been shouting for so long about the dry weather and the danger of fire, and he originally thought it was just empty talk. He didn’t expect that there would actually be someone who dared to set fire to the night!

…

The following day, after verifying her identity and paying a fine of five Spirit Stones, Lin Jing re-entered Hidden Dragon Academy.

Yesterday, after making inquiries around, he learned that Hidden Dragon Academy has very few classes, sometimes going for months without a single class, and when a Dao is taught depends entirely on the mood of the teacher at the academy.

Aside from the occasional lecture or listening session, the students spend the rest of their time either in seclusion to cultivate themselves or trying to stir up trouble and make a name for themselves.

Lin Jing entered the academy this time for the Foundation Establishment method in the library!

The Hidden Dragon Academy’s library is open to anyone who has entered the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique. The number of floors one can enter varies depending on the level of cultivation achieved in the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique.

“Go in.”

The guardian of the library was an old man. He only checked the Dragon Seal before putting Lin Jing in. If it were the Beast Taming Sect, the guardian might not be an old man; it could be an old ape, an old turtle, or an old bird.

“Found it!”

At this time, Lin Jing was the only person in the library, and it was exceptionally quiet.

Lin Jing discovered that the library did not contain regular spellbooks; instead, it contained books related to Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Feng Shui, Medicine, and Agriculture.

These books are not introductory material; their content is quite profound. An ordinary Loose Cultivator who finds one, studies it thoroughly, and can become a Daoist ( or similar expert) in that field. Great Master.

However, these were not the things he wanted to see today. Lin Jing stepped forward and picked up a book titled “The Wood Spirit Foundation Establishment Method”.

He came to Hidden Dragon Academy with one purpose: to find the superior Foundation Establishment method!

Within the Beast Taming Sect, Foundation Establishment methods are scarce. Disciple mostly rely on ” Foundation Establishment Pill ” Breakthrough. Dao foundations built in this way make Core Formation extremely difficult. Those with average talent may remain at the Foundation Establishment stage for life after Foundation Establishment. Only a few with other opportunities have a chance of Core Formation.

The best method for establishing the Beast Taming Sect’s foundation is to refine demon cores into demon daos. The Foundation Establishment Pill is extremely difficult to refine, and there are few suitable demon cores for it. Generally, only Disciple at the True Disciple level are worth the Sect refining such a special pill for.

However, even if it is a demon… The Foundation Establishment Pill is only the best Foundation Establishment method of the Beast Taming Sect. When applied to the entire Tian Yuan Ancient Kingdom, it is a completely inferior Foundation Establishment method.

The truly superior Foundation Establishment method is one that allows a Cultivator with a Mortal Body to acquire an Acquired Spirit Body after Foundation Establishment, with a high probability of Core Formation, and even a slight chance of Nascent Soul formation!

Like Snow Moon City back then Pavilion Master Hua was able to attain Acquired status through a special Foundation Establishment method. Fire Spirit Body.

Of course, if it’s an Innate entity, or an Innate special physics, then it doesn’t need to be so complicated. Just go for Foundation Establishment, and it will have the same extraordinary potential!

Lin Jing’s visit was certainly not for any acquired spirit. Normally, without a special opportunity, a person can only possess one physiology and cultivate one cultivation technique; otherwise, they will possess Meridians within them. True Qi disorder, Qi Deviation.

He is already a Longevity Physique; without a stroke of luck, it is almost impossible for him to attain a second Physique.

Although he also wanted to cultivate multiple Physiques like the “Trisolaran” Crown Prince Gu, he knew that the possibility was extremely slim. Without a great opportunity and a strong background, he shouldn’t even think about it.

This time, he sought out the Foundation Establishment method… for the Pine Leaf Squirrel. As for himself, he had only reached the seventh level of Qi, so it was still a long way off.

“Wood Spirit Foundation Establishment Method”.

” After Foundation Establishment, one can cultivate an Acquired Wood Spirit Body, which is compatible with plants and trees, making the cultivation of wood magic twice as effective.”

“Requirement 1: Cultivate the wood attribute Cultivation Technique and reach level nine of Qi Refining.”

“Requirement two: use wood Ganoderma lucidum that is over a hundred years old, laurel leaves, the heart of ten thousand trees, and source wood ore, supplemented with…” Lin Jing frowned as she read to the end.

“Finally, it was refined into the Wood Spirit Foundation Establishment Pill using a special wood-attribute flame.”

“Requirement 3: In a blessed land of Gui water, swallow the Foundation Establishment Pill.”

“There will be an opportunity to cultivate into an Acquired Wood Spirit Body.”

“Whether one can cultivate a wood spirit body is directly related to the strength of the cultivator’s magic and the quality of the foundation establishment pill.”

“This method can only be used by Mortal Body human Cultivators.”

“A chicken rib” (meaning something that is neither fish nor fodder).

Lin Jing discovered that on the first floor of the library, there were various Foundation Establishment methods for Acquired spirits.

These superior teachings, which are difficult to find in outside sectors, can be freely browsed here.

However, Lin Jing looked closely and realized that even if an ordinary person knew the formula, it would be difficult to meet all the requirements without the help of the academy. For example, this Wooden Spirit Pill only had the recipe, but not the refining method.

“No, no, no.” Lin Jing flipped through the list. Besides the superior Foundation Establishment method that allowed one to cultivate an Acquired attribute spirit body, there were also some slightly inferior Foundation Establishment methods. For example, after Foundation Establishment, one could possess immense strength; after Foundation Establishment, one’s true essence would be more refined; after Foundation Establishment, one could surpass ordinary Foundation Establishment methods. It’s normal for cultivators to live an extra ten years.

There are also Foundation Establishment methods that allow one to change their gender once after Foundation Establishment, and whose body shape and appearance can be drastically changed after Foundation Establishment. I wonder who they are intended for.

“Unsurprisingly, the Foundation Establishment method on the first floor is not suitable for me, Pine Leaf Squirrel, or Dragon Carp.”

“With my current skill level in Hidden Dragon Secret Technique, I’m not yet qualified to go up to the second floor.”

“Forget it, let’s learn from a classic text first. If the second and third floors don’t have a suitable Foundation Establishment method for Pine Leaf Squirrel, then as planned, I’ll create my own Pill Formula, using blood alchemy, to refine a unique Longevity Foundation Establishment Pill suitable for Azure Emperor Longevity Art, and give it Foundation Establishment!”

Lin Jing took the Dan Shu and prepared to memorize it. This plan was difficult to realize in the Beast Taming Sect before, but now, with the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique that can be used to deduce magic, it is equivalent to having a low-level Bodhi Cave Heaven. As long as he continues to make a name for himself, it is not impossible to create such an exclusive Foundation Establishment Pill.

He slowly began to peruse the alchemical text. Just then, another person entered the library. He was a cultivator at the ninth level of the Qi realm, dressed in a scholar’s robe. Lin Jing looked at him and was slightly taken aback. When the man saw Lin Jing, his face darkened.

“Tang Sanzang… no, Beast Taming Sect, Lin Jing!”

“You’re the scholar from Bodhi Heaven who failed to snatch the Bodhi Tree.” Lin Jing recognized him as well.

“You don’t have a Foundation Establishment yet?” Although Lin Jing didn’t cultivate any appraisal skills, his mental strength and perception were remarkable, already comparable to a Foundation Establishment member who had cultivated spiritual consciousness. Given that the scholar didn’t conceal his cultivation level, it wasn’t difficult to determine that the other party was a Realm.

“So what!” Xu Zhizhi waved his hand and looked at Lin Jing with hostility: “So you really came to Hidden Dragon Academy. I still remember the matter of the cave heaven. Back then, you had a huge advantage with that Mechanical Creation, but once you got outside, that thing of yours was nothing.”

Lin Jing chuckled and said, “Don’t get so angry. Did n’t I give you the Snowfield Cultivator? Besides, I just beat up a Foundation Establishment yesterday, without using Mechanism Art.”

Xu Zhizhi stubbornly retorted: ” Fang Shilin, the son of the Valley Master of Changchun Valley, is the heir to a powerful force. He receives bonus points when entering the academy. Otherwise, with his talent and strength, he wouldn’t be able to get into the academy at all. Defeating him is nothing!”

“I used the essay given to me by my teacher ” In a Magic Treasure fight, it can often bypass Realm and defeat the enemy!

Sensing Xu Zhizhi’s lack of confidence, Lin Jing Dao: “So, does that mean we specially recruited Cultivators are the true Prodigy within the academy?”

Xu Zhizhi nodded.

“Of course! What do you want to do?”

“So it seems that you, along with that female alchemist from the Dan Ding Sect, and the little Sword Cultivator from Heaven Sword Gate, have already gained some fame? ” Lin Jing pondered, “You’re right! My Mechanical Bamboo Gun isn’t very useful anymore. I might as well let it shine its last bit. Fame gained through combat is ultimately fleeting. If you want fame to spread for a long time, you have to rely on ‘tools’ to carry your reputation.”

“I plan to manufacture a batch of Mechanical Bamboo Guns and auction them at Lotus Pavilion. These are guns that don’t require any personal cultivation level; just picking them up will suppress a practitioner.” Cultivator’s Mechanical Creation is sure to be a bestseller!

“I don’t think we’re talking about ‘reputation rights’ here. I plan to use your defeat, Brother Xu, to promote this product and link it to our brand.”

“When someone uses the Mechanical Bamboo Gun, people who see it will remember, ‘Oh, that’s a Genius. ‘” Mechanist Created by Lin Jing, who once used this object to crush the Genius of the academy within the grotto. Xu Zhizhi and others…”

Xu Zhizhi:???

“You scoundrel!!!” He glared at them.

“Brother Xu, don’t be ashamed of losing to me. When I reach the Heavenly Pride ranking, it will be a good reputation. You once competed with Lin Jing!”

“I kill you!”
