Chapter Seventy-One Hidden Dragon Secret Technique

The Tian Yuan Ancient Kingdom comprises nine regions, with the Ancient Domain being one of them.

Within the Ancient Domain, Hidden Dragon City and Hidden Dragon Academy are known as the cradle of Immortal Officials.

Most of the Cultivators who emerge from here can become Immortal Officials, receiving the Dragon Luck bonus, and their path to immortality will be unobstructed. In the center of Dragon City, in a corner of the academy, stands a quiet and elegant ancient pavilion. The pavilion is built on bluestone and has a redwood frame, with upturned eaves and corners, resembling a Phoenix about to take flight, elegant and solemn.

At this moment, the pavilion was filled with celestial light, accompanied by a Dao A spatial ripple appeared, and a schoolteacher in a white shirt teleported in with a young Cultivator and his Pet Beast.

“Welcome to Hidden Dragon Academy.” The instructor took a few steps, looked at the blue sky and white clouds, and said, “I’ve heard that the Beast Taming Sect is currently under closure, but this has nothing to do with you, a cultivator…” Disciple is irrelevant; now that we’re at the academy, let’s prioritize our studies.

After bringing Lin Jing from the Great Wilderness to Hidden Dragon Academy, the cultist surnamed Cao, who worked at the academy, kindly advised Lin Jing not to let the matter of the Sect affect her mindset.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing gave a wry smile. He had originally thought so too – who knew that the closure of the Beast Taming Sect was also due to the mutation of the Demon Suppression Pagoda!

How did the Demon Suppression Pagoda become loose? Others might not know about Dao, but how could he and Pine Leaf Squirrel not know about Dao?

Lin Jing felt extremely guilty, thinking that if she couldn’t make a name for herself at Hidden Dragon Academy, she would be letting down the Magic Treasure space and 100,000 Spirit Stones that the Sect Master had given her before his departure!

“Thank you, Senior Cao.” Lin Jing and Pine Leaf Squirrel bowed their heads. Although Dragon Carp knew nothing about it, since he had followed Lin Jing, he also took the blame.

” Senior Cao, when can I learn the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique?”

Although Dragon Carp was inexplicably dragged into the mess, the Hidden Dragon Academy still offers the greatest opportunity for students!

Therefore, this pot won’t suppress its growth.

Cao Ziwei turned to look at Dragon Carp, who was stuck in the Zen Staff, and smiled slightly: “You came prepared, aren’t you? In such a hurry to cultivate the Dragon Blood Demon Beast with the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique?”

“Yes! At the time, Senior said that the academy’s Hidden Dragon Secret Technique was the best secret method for cultivating Dragon Blood Demon Beasts on the entire continent.”

“Yes.” Cao Ziwei nodded.

He stood in the pavilion with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance, and said: “Every so often, the academy will recruit students. Normally, only those who pass the examination will have the opportunity to enter the academy.”

“However, this applies to ordinary Cultivators. The fact that you were chosen by the Hidden Dragon Academy means you have a certain amount of luck, which is why the Hidden Dragon Academy personally invited you.”

“Besides you, the academy also invited the other cultivators who entered the cave with you. They all responded earlier than you and have now entered Hidden Dragon Academy.”

“As’specially recruited students,’ you will not only be exempt from assessments, but you will also receive the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique the moment you enter the academy!”

Lin Jing never expected that the scholar from the Literary Domain within the cave, Dan Ding Sect… female alchemist, Heaven Sword Gate Sword Cultivator had already arrived at the academy.

From this perspective, I do have some acquaintances within the academy!

However, these few acquaintances might really hate him —

Lin Jing didn’t care about any of that. What pleased him was how easy it was to obtain the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique!

“You don’t need to be too happy.” Cao Ziwei said gently, “Exemption from the assessment is a privilege, but obtaining the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique is not. Every student who successfully enters the academy can immediately obtain the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique.”

“Because the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique is precisely the prerequisite for listening to the teachers explain the Dao at the academy!”

“Only students who have mastered the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique are qualified to attend classes at the academy!”

As he spoke, Cao Ziwei took out a stone seal, held it in his hand, and showed it to Lin Jing. On the stone seal was a coiled baby dragon, which was extraordinary.

“This is the Hidden Dragon Seal. By imprinting it on your body, you will have the opportunity to learn the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique.”

“Do you know what the core of practicing the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique is?” Cao Ziwei asked Lin Jing, Pine Leaf Squirrel, and Dragon Carp.

Before Lin Jing and the others could answer, he continued, “It’s not the foundation of cultivation, Spiritual Qi! It’s reputation and fame! “

“Why???””

Reputation, fame?

Pine Leaf Squirrel immediately poked its head out; what did that mean?

“It’s very simple. It’s you. In this Hidden Dragon Academy, in this Hidden Dragon City, in this Ancient Domain, in this Tian Yuan Ancient Kingdom, in this Immortal Cultivation World — the greater your reputation, the deeper your cultivation of Hidden Dragon Secret Techniques!”

“Isn’t this a magical secret technique?”

“Yes!” Lin Jing nodded. As expected of a secret technique derived from the True Dragon Secret Technique, his Longevity Physique …

I love this special method that doesn’t require me to cultivate myself.

However—if you want fame, you have to cause trouble. Lin Jing is in a bit of a dilemma, as everyone knows he is an honest man.

” Senior, which means I need to make a name for myself and learn the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique before I’m qualified to attend classes at the academy.”

“Mmm.” Cao Ziwei Dao: “Next, I will imprint the Hidden Dragon Mark on your body. It is the seed of the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique. When your reputation accumulates to a certain level, the Hidden Dragon Mark imprinted on your body will show a slight glow. Once the glow covers the entire Hidden Dragon Mark, you will have officially entered the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique.”

“After that, the many wonderful uses of the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique will come to mind, including the secret method for cultivating the Dragon Blood Demon Beast that you desire!”

“In addition, after the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique is mastered, it will also transform into a phantom Luck Dragon that will reside within the Cultivator’s body, based on the Cultivator’s cultivation level, reputation, and Luck.”

“The first Luck baby Dragons born are not all the same color; they come in four colors: white, blue, purple, and gold! The later the color appears, the stronger your Dragon luck is!”

“The color is determined by your reputation and cultivation level. Generally speaking, the lower your cultivation level and the higher your reputation, the later the color will be.”

“Within the academy, the teachers basically set the threshold for attending classes based on the color of the Luck Dragon.”

“For example, Senior Meng, who practiced Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism, only allowed students with the Golden Potential Dragon Luck to listen to his lectures on Daoism.”

“Also, while the Foundation Establishment and Core Formation methods within the academy are theoretically provided to students free of charge, students still need to reach a certain Rank in Hidden Dragon Secret Technique!”

“Therefore, the level of mastery of Hidden Dragon Secret Technique is crucial to how much one can learn at Hidden Dragon Academy.”

Senior Cao smiled slightly and looked at Lin Jing and the others: “You have just been training in the Great Wilderness, so you must have gained some confidence in your strength.”

“In Hidden Dragon Academy, although they don’t teach combat techniques, the simplest and most direct way to gain reputation is to trample other Sect Geniuses underfoot, spread the word, and use others as stepping stones to improve your own Hidden Dragon Secret Technique!”

“That is, what is known as— Dragon Fortune Plunder!”

“This is the most brutal way to deal with you students of the academy.”

“However, a slight misstep could turn you into someone else’s stepping stone, causing your reputation to plummet. Hidden Dragon Secret Technique” Realm is regressing instead of progressing! As for how to improve the Realm of Hidden Dragon Secret Technique, that’s up to you.

Oh, and one more thing.

He said: “The academy does not provide students with an Immortal Cave for their spiritual practice. Although there is a place for cultivation, students need to rent it with Spirit Stones.”

Do you need it?

Lin Jing:???

What?

Even Cultivate There isn’t even an Immortal Cave?

Lin Jing felt a slight sense of satisfaction.

Isn’t this even worse than the Beast Taming Sect?

Lin Jing suddenly realized why Master Xu had given her an extra 100,000 Spirit Stones.

Without Spirit Stone, one might not even be qualified to live in the academy.

The thought of how much Spirit Stone she had used during her three months of rigorous training made Lin Jing feel a pang of regret.

” Senior, don’t specially admitted students get any preferential treatment?” Waiving their accommodation fees isn’t too much to ask!
