Chapter 84 Firing the Gun

“Have you ever heard of Wang Xiao of the Wang family? He possesses the Innate Divine Body, ranking ninety-third on the Divine Body Ranking as a Heavenly God Body! A Heavenly God Body can mobilize the power of the sun, moon, and stars at birth, summoning wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, like a Heavenly God descending to earth, with unstoppable might!”

“In the Ancient Domain, who hasn’t heard of this Wang family’s Qilin? If nothing unexpected happens, a few hundred years from now, the Wang family will produce another Soul Transformation.”

It is said that Wang Xiao arrived in Hidden Dragon City yesterday, alone. Some people saw him traversing the mountains, grilling various kinds of Foundation Establishment products. Yao Beast!

Four months later, the teahouses and restaurants in Hidden Dragon City were bustling with activity.

Time flies. Four months have passed since Lin Jing arrived in Hidden Dragon City. During these four months, Lin Jing has been cultivating herself.

They maintain and spread their reputation solely by auctioning off Mechanical Bamboo Guns.

A name needs time to be digested. Frequently creating trouble may have the opposite effect. Hearing the same name for too long can easily make people take it for granted.

Previously, his name was only known within Hidden Dragon City, but now, with the auction of the Mechanical Bamboo Gun in Lotus Pavilions of other cities, coupled with promotion, he has begun to gain some fame in other cities of the Ancient Domain.

Cultivators in many places are aware that a Genius emerged from the Beast Taming Sect. The Disciple, who once defeated numerous heroes in the Cave Heaven and trained Qi in the Foundation Establishment in Hidden Dragon City, was extremely powerful! With the Beast Taming Sect being shut down, many Cultivators are curious whether the Beast Taming Sect can be revived a hundred years later!

The Hidden Dragon Secret Technique is progressing steadily.

In addition, because he was making rapid progress in Hidden Dragon Secret Technique and his own cultivation level was not high, he could not consume too much Potential Dragon Luck when he deduced Mechanism Art and Alchemy.

After four months of seclusion, the increase and consumption of Potential Dragon Luck have been in a delicate balance.

However, as time went on, Lin Jing could indeed feel that Hidden Dragon Secret Technique’s recent improvements had slowed down considerably.

Hidden Dragon City is a place where many interesting things happen, and there are always new topics every day. With the academy’s enrollment approaching, the names of various professions, sects, and families are spreading throughout Hidden Dragon City and the surrounding areas. Naturally, other news is overshadowed.

Meanwhile, the academy has also opened, but for the time being, it is only open to candidates who have applied to the academy and the elders who escorted them.

Those who can come to the academy all have extraordinary backgrounds. Not just any Cultivator can apply to the academy. Generally, only young cultivators personally recommended by Nascent Soul level Cultivators are qualified to take the exam. It is a recommendation system.

Therefore, almost all the candidates who can come to the academy are heirs of powerful families or True Disciple.

Hidden Dragon Secret Technique is mysterious and extraordinary, more powerful than most Sect’s secret arts. In addition, obtaining an official position there is beneficial to the Sect and Family, so Hidden Dragon Academy is a place many Cultivators aspire to.

“The wind is picking up.”

After months of seclusion, Lin Jing finally emerged from the Immortal Cave. Looking at the bright sunshine and feeling the breeze, he took a deep breath. No wonder they say that time flies when cultivating immortality. Four months had passed in the blink of an eye. He had heard that Cultivators with higher levels of cultivation could go into seclusion for years or even decades. He couldn’t even imagine it.

For four months, he didn’t go out and wander around. It wasn’t because he was worried about being targeted, having his luck stolen, or becoming someone else’s stepping stone, but because he had already spent a lot of money to rent the Immortal Cave. If he went out for even one day, he felt like he was losing a lot of Spirit Stone.

“I wonder if Dao can take Hidden Dragon Secret Technique to the next level with the help of this grand event.”

“It’s time to replenish my Potential Dragon Luck.” Lin Jing looked at the back of her hand; the blue Potential Dragon mark looked faded and washed out.

The color has already started to fade.

These Prodigy from various regions and sects were the stepping stones for his resurgence in fame, something he had been preparing for a long time.

“Come to the Seireitei immediately.” Lin Jing said as she left the Immortal Cave. The Void Realm’s voice transmission reached his ears, and upon hearing it, Lin Jing looked in a certain direction.

The Serene Spirit Pavilion, a courtyard within the academy, is surrounded by a light, ethereal mist.

As dawn breaks, golden sunlight spills onto the bluestone path, and at the end of the courtyard, an exquisite bamboo pavilion stands.

Inside the pavilion, there was a stone table with several stone stools. On the table was a set of antique tea utensils, and the aroma of tea wafted up. Lin Jing was the last to arrive.

Cao Ziwei sat at a stone table, drinking spiritual tea, with two men and a woman standing around him.

A young swordsman, a female alchemist, and a scholar in a long gown.

They were all acquaintances.

Upon seeing them, Lin Jing smiled slightly. Apart from Xu Zhizhi returning the smile, the young swordsman… Yuan Jing remained expressionless, while alchemist Zi Ling’er curled her lip, clearly still harboring resentment towards Lin Jing.

“Everyone’s here.” Cao Ziwei smiled when he saw that all four members of Bodhi Cave Heaven had arrived. “Tomorrow is the day of the academy’s assessment. The four of you will be all the examiners. I’ve decided to put the strength test as the first assessment.”

“Over a hundred students applied to the academy this time, all of whom are at the Qi Training Stage. Yuan Jing and Zi Ling’er, you two have already reached the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage. “

Xu Zhizhi, Lin Jing, you two—one of you is practicing at level nine—how come you’re still only practicing at level seven?

Cao Ziwei was stunned to see Lin Jing, who had been using the academy’s Immortal Cave for four months and was still only practicing Qi Level 7. Even if Lin Jing’s cultivation speed was slow, it was still possible that she had occupied such a good place and hadn’t improved her cultivation by even one level.

Everyone looked at Lin Jing. Lin Jing coughed lightly and said, “It’s almost time. I have a feeling that I’ll reach the eighth level of Qi within a month. These past four months—we have indeed neglected personal cultivation, and our Beast Taming Sect…” Disciple, cultivation is inherently slow.

The main reason is that Pine Leaf Squirrel has already reached level nine of Qi training, making it almost impossible for him to provide Realm feedback, which has slowed down Lin Jing’s progress considerably.

In addition—practice Qi Late Stage, clearly better than practicing Qi It’s more difficult to improve Realm in the Middle Stage.

Lin Jing sighed. He had thought that after so long, he could at least improve his Realm by one level.

No wonder Longevity Physique didn’t even make it onto the list of divine bodies!

“Forget it, your Pet Beast level nine training is the same.” Cao Ziwei Dao: “At that time, the academy will provide you with the best True Qi for recovery and Medicinal Pills for healing.”

“The candidates can freely choose one of the four of you to compete against, and then I will score them. The four of you should be ready.”

” Leaving aside Lin Jing and Xu Zhizhi for now, I hope that Yuan Jing and Zi Ling’er, as members of the Foundation Establishment Stage, will not become stepping stones for the Qi Training Stage to engage in cross-level battles. The academy itself doesn’t care, but this is detrimental to your cultivation.” Hidden Dragon Secret Technique will be at a great disadvantage.

“Yes!” Yuan Jing and Zi Ling’er nodded.

“Alright, that’s all I have to say. Tomorrow at sunrise, you will all go to Flying Dragon Mountain at the academy. I will be there to preside over the first day’s assessment.” After saying that, Cao Ziwei disappeared, leaving only Lin Jing and the other three behind.

The pavilion fell silent.

Just as Yuan Jing was about to leave, Lin Jing Dao: “Tomorrow is the day of the assessment. I wish you all the best. I have prepared three gifts. Although you may not need them, it is always good to have an extra trump card.”

After saying that, he took out three Mechanical Bamboo Guns and placed them on the stone table.

“Haha, I’ve wanted to use this for a long time, but it was too expensive at the auction, and I was too embarrassed to ask Brother Lin for it directly.” Xu Zhizhi picked up a Mechanical Bamboo Gun, adjusted it up, down, left, and right, and found it very novel.

“For ordinary test takers, a few shots are enough to test their skill level! The feel is indeed novel compared to ink brush!”

“This isn’t a gift, you’re clearly trying to get us to promote your Mechanical Creation during the assessment!” Zi Ling’er exclaimed. Dao.

“Do you want it? We’ve taken a lot of Spirit Stone photos. Use it to beat a few other test takers, and it’ll be yours,” Lin Jing asked.

Zi Ling’er hesitated for a moment, then remembered the domineering scene of Lin Jing wielding a Mechanical Bamboo Gun in the cave. Despite her reluctance, she picked up a Mechanical Bamboo Gun and said with a smile, “I don’t really want to play, but since you’ve said so, I’ll help you out.”

Such an expensive Mechanical Bamboo Gun, why not take it?

She chuckled and asked, ” Lin Jing, could I mix some poison pills, Soul Confusion Pills, and launch them together with that bean, so they would explode?”

Xu Zhizhi was stunned. Wait, you can do it like this?

You say you don’t want it, but your mind works faster than mine!

Should I add something too?

“You should go back and try it—” Lin Jing had never tried it either.

“I’ve already established my foundation; I don’t need such things. A sword is enough.” Yuan Jing shook his head, then hesitated for a moment before picking up the Mechanical Bamboo Gun. “But for ordinary training …” ” A cultivator is not worth my sword.”

Having been chased by Squirrel with a gun, Young Swordsman also wanted to try this thing out.

Lin Jing knew that most people would find it hard to resist the temptation of a machine gun.

Upon seeing that four examiners were each armed with a Mechanical Bamboo Gun, Xu Zhizhi Dao: “That’s right. We can defeat the challengers by using our magic skills. Although the assessment process will be spread, it will be too monotonous and difficult to generate discussion. But if we all use the Mechanical Bamboo Gun to take down the weaker examinees and then use our spells to defeat the stronger examinees, it will definitely generate more buzz. This plan is brilliant! Brother Lin, you are truly amazing.”

Mr. Cao, who hadn’t actually left, hid behind a tree, lost in thought.
