Chapter Seventy-Eight: Promotional Advertisements

“May I give it a try?” Master Shi asked, intrigued.

He loved identifying these strange and unusual gadgets.

Taiwanese novel websites offer a great way to relieve boredom; ƚɯƙαɳ.ƈσɱ are super useful.

“No problem.” After Lin Jing nodded, Master Shi opened another door behind him, leading to an open-air area.

Seeing this, the female cultivator in the cheongsam took her leave.

“You said this Mechanical Creation is quite powerful, did you create it?”

Holding the Mechanical Bamboo Gun, Master Shi asked curiously.

After all, even with just one Squirrel, one can be almost invincible in the Qi Training Stage; that’s just too arrogant.

Many auctioneers like to exaggerate the effects of the items they are auctioning.

What their appraisers need to do is verify or debunk fakes!

“Yes.” Lin Jing nodded.

“Then I’ll see—”

After saying that, he threw the Mechanical Bamboo Gun to Lin Jing and condensed his protective true energy: “Use this to attack me, and I’ll personally experience its power!”

“There aren’t many appraisers as dedicated as me these days,” Master Shi remarked with a touch of self-reflection.

“Alright.” Lin Jing, holding the bamboo spear, pulled the trigger, and the other party fired a Foundation Establishment. Cultivator, and also prepared in advance.

They will definitely not be harmed by the Mechanical Bamboo Gun.

“Water Arrow Technique? There are no water-based array patterns inscribed inside. How did this water arrow come out? So this is the effect of the blue spiritual bamboo.”

“What does it mean that the beans were swept away by the water flow?”

“You started it without True Qi? It seems to be purely Mechanical Creation.”

Master Shi kept popping the disc until the first spirit bean exploded.

boom!

Master Shi was engulfed by the shockwave of the explosion, his protective true essence trembling. He slightly raised his head and said, “Such powerful force.”

So these beans can explode!

The second second.

“Wait, how come all the beans shot out at once!”

Boom boom boom boom boom!

The spirit beans exploded all at once, causing a strong fluctuation of spiritual energy. The sound resounded through the sky, making Master Shi’s hair fly wildly.

The third second, the fourth second —

Lin Jing reloaded the magazine with one hand, his attacks relentless and unabated, causing Master Shi to feel a severe drain on his true energy. He hurriedly shouted, “No! Stop! Stop! Are these beans free? How can you use them like this?!”

“Are you here to auction off my items sincerely, or to kill me?! Stop right now!” He observed the situation.

Lin Jing won’t stop until she blows herself up.

Lin Jing stopped firing. Dao: “Wasn’t this to show you its attack frequency?”

Master Shi looked at the rubble around him, his lips twitching slightly. Dao: ” I already know! This mechanism of yours is not suitable for magical battles, but for sieges.”

“You’re from Divine Machine Manor? Young Master, what price do you plan to set? Besides the Mechanical Bamboo Gun, will these beans be included?” Master Shi pursed his lips, looking at Lin Jing. Divine Machine Manor, Ancient Kingdom Mechanism Art is the number one force in the industry.

This Mechanical Bamboo Gun is incredibly powerful, capable of firing a dozen devastating bombs instantly without needing to be activated by True Qi. Such a device is indeed a formidable weapon for the Qi Training Stage.

Most importantly, Lin Jing seemed completely unconcerned about the ferocious bean, which possessed power comparable to a second-tier ‘explosive tag’.

This is terrifying to think about, making him feel that this might be a new, inexpensive mechanical device called Materials developed by Divine Machine Manor!

“A Mechanical Bamboo Gun, plus 500 beans.”

Lin Jing smiled slightly and said, “The starting price doesn’t matter. I can also offer Lotus Pavilion a higher commission. I only have one requirement.”

“Huh?” Master Shi asked in confusion, “What?”

“This item has an extraordinary provenance, and I hope Lotus Pavilion can promote it extensively before the auction.”

“Oh? What’s its origin?” Master Shi’s interest was piqued again. Things with a history, and things without a history…

The price difference could be several times!

” Master Shi knows the Beast Taming Sect” Genius Disciple Lin Jing? Lin Jing whispered.​

Master Shi paused, then recalled, “I remember, it seems he defeated a Foundation Establishment academy student in the south of the city yesterday, a victory that put him at a much higher level.” Cultivator? I’ve heard others mention it.

“Did you know that this Lin Jing was chosen by Bodhi Cave Heaven when she was practicing Qi Level 3!”

“I didn’t know that! No wonder he’s so strong.” Master Shi exclaimed in surprise, “How come this Mechanical Creation is connected to the Beast Taming Sect? ” Did the Disciple become associated?

” Master Shi, do you know that at that time, besides the Beast Taming Sect…” Lin Jing, along with Xu Zhizhi, the prized disciple of Master Xu of Tianyun City in the Literary Domain, was also sucked into that cave! Dan Dao of the Dan Ding Sect in the Fire Domain Genius Zi Ling’er, then head of Heaven Sword Gate Yuan Jing, the number one hero of the Outer Sect!

“Now, Xu Zhizhi, Zi Ling’er, and Yuan Jing have all entered Hidden Dragon Academy as special admissions students. They are exceptionally talented and have extraordinary potential.”

Master Shi: “I’ve also heard of these people. They did indeed enter the cave, but I never expected the Beast Taming Sect…” Lin Jing entered with them! It’s said that young hero Yuan Jing has already entered the Foundation Establishment, mastered the Acquired Sword Body, and possesses astonishing strength. He defeated a Foundation Establishment member with a single sword strike upon entering the Foundation Establishment. Late Stage Loose Cultivator! That Zi Ling’er is quite remarkable; it’s said he’s already crafted a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill on his own, and may soon achieve Foundation Establishment!

Lin Jing nodded: “Does Master Shi know that among the three Bodhi Trees in Bodhi Cave Heaven, the best golden and silver Bodhi trees were not obtained by these Geniuses, but by Lin Jing and her pet, who monopolized two of them?”

“What?” Master Shi was taken aback. Was that true?

“To be honest, Master Shi, that Beast Taming Sect…” Genius Disciple Lin Jing used the Mechanical Bamboo Gun I manufactured; he and Pet Beast… It took Pine Leaf Squirrel, one man and one gun, to suppress these three Geniuses. It’s fair to say that the Beast Taming Sect… Lin Jing is the biggest winner of this cave adventure! Without my Mechanical Bamboo Gun, he certainly couldn’t have accomplished this.

“Wen Dao” Genius or Dan Dao Genius or Sword Cultivator Genius or not, they all fell to this Mechanical Bamboo Gun.

Master Shi remained stunned. How could this be?

No wonder the Young Master just said that even a Squirrel wielding a Mechanical Bamboo Gun could become invincible.

“I hope that Lotus Pavilion can emphasize its combat record before auctioning the Mechanical Bamboo Gun! After all, this is the treasure that allowed a Level 3 Qi cultivator to suppress three powerful Level 9 Qi Geniuses without taking any damage.”

Master Shi swallowed hard, never expecting that the Mechanical Bamboo Gun was related to several well-known up – and-coming Geniuses in Hidden Dragon City. He said, “But Young Master, words are meaningless. How can I know if what you’re saying is true or false?”

” Lotus Pavilion will not use unverified information to promote auction items.”

Lin Jing Dao: “Hehe, to be honest with Master, I am Lin Jing, and I have now become a student of the academy. If you don’t believe me, I can bring Xu Zhizhi over to testify!”

Master Shi:???

Damn it, you really weren’t here to auction off your items. You went around in circles and just got Lotus Pavilion to help you get banned. Hidden Dragon Secret Technique!

Relying on word of mouth, the speed of information dissemination is bound to be slow. Whether in the past or present life, news and public opinion are controlled by powerful forces. As a top-tier force, Lotus Pavilion, even as a branch in just one city, wields considerable influence.

Lin Jing took advantage of the Lotus Pavilion to promote herself and the Mechanical Bamboo Gun.

Soon after, Lotus Pavilion announced information about its latest auction, including the items to be auctioned, and sent invitations to its VIPs, with detailed descriptions of the items to be auctioned.

Many cultivators glanced at the Mechanical Bamboo Gun on the list, noting that the buzz surrounding Lin Jing hadn’t died down yet.

” Mechanical Bamboo Gun? Beast Taming Sect. “Lin Jing’s early weapon?”

“What?! This Lin Jing was actually chosen by the Cave Heaven! No wonder he’s so strong, he actually gained an Opportunity within the Cave Heaven. His future is immeasurable!”

” Genius Academy” Xu Zhizhi, Zi Ling’er, and Yuan Jing all entered the same grotto-heaven as Lin Jing? But Lin Jing, who had reached the third level of Qi cultivation, stole the best opportunity from them all with her Mechanical Bamboo Gun? Is that true?

“It’s true, the Genius Academy…” Xu Zhizhi responded, stating that whoever wielded the bamboo spear would be virtually invincible under the Foundation Establishment’s protection; even he himself was no match for it at the time. It’s all true!

“I heard that Xu Zhizhi did it for the sake of the nation’s destiny, for the Ancient Kingdom.” The Cultivator’s Opportunity wasn’t seized by a foreign Cultivator. They first killed a terrifyingly powerful Snowfield Body Cultivator, greatly depleting their resources, which is why they failed to steal the Opportunity. It’s a pity. I wonder if a fully-powered Xu Zhizhi could put up a fight against this Mechanical Creation.

” Lin Jing appeared at the cyclamen restaurant, left after saying ‘ Xu Zhizhi, not bad!'”

“I’m curious, what kind of Mechanical Creation could enable a low-level Disciple from a third-rate Sect to rise above a group of high-level Sects?” The genius snatched the opportunity! How can Lin Jing, a Beast Taming Cultivator, also know Mechanism Art?

“This is great! I’m going to buy it for my illegitimate son to protect himself!”

Lotus Pavilion didn’t deliberately promote itself, but their auction item lists always attracted a lot of attention from cultivators. Some were happy, some were worried. Seeing Lin Jing reveal their cave heaven experiences for fame, Dan Ding Sect… The female alchemist was having a blast in the Immortal Cave because her sisters had already asked her if she had really been beaten by Squirrel.

The biggest winner was none other than Lin Jing. Before the Mechanical Bamboo Gun was even auctioned off, a few days later, the Dragon Mark on the back of his hand changed from white to light blue. The fame of yesterday and the fame of today fermented each other, making him known to more people.

Of course, the biggest loser was Pine Leaf Squirrel, who saw Lin Jing taking so much ammunition from the warehouse—”

Suddenly, a howling sound like ghosts wailing and wolves roaring erupted!
