Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 1 The road is boundless
tick...

tick...

Lin Jing gradually regained consciousness. He opened his eyes and a damp and cold breath hit his face.

where is this?
The air was filled with an indescribable musty smell mixed with the scent of damp earth. The surrounding walls were covered with moss and inky mold. The sound of water dripping from somewhere made the place even more gloomy and terrifying.

A prison cell?
After observing the dim environment around him, Lin Jing came to a conclusion and felt it was absurd.

He had just passed the immortal assessment and was preparing to follow the immortal to practice and pursue immortality. How could he appear in such a place?

"Are you awake?"

There was a sharp pain in his brain, and before he could make any further judgment, a weak voice came from the surrounding. Lin Jing then realized that he seemed to have a neighbor.

He wanted to struggle, but found that he could not get up, his body was extremely stiff.

"Don't waste your energy." The voice came again: "We are all bound."

"Who are you?" Lin Jing asked.

“Just like you, I was kidnapped by the fairy traffickers.” The man replied.

"..."

Fairy dealer?
What the hell?
Hearing this, Lin Jing quickly recalled.

He is a time traveler from a blue planet.

After arriving here, he discovered that immortals and gods actually existed.

Now that he was here, Lin Jing soon gained new motivation.

He wants to become an immortal!

The memory stopped at the time when he worked hard to find the immortal, and finally passed the entry test of a spiritual practice force called "Qingniu Taoist Temple" with his amazing talent and supernatural physique.

Then, my eyes went dark and I couldn’t remember anything. I was locked up here.

"Immortal dealer?" Lin Jing was speechless.

Don't tell him that the cultivation force he had worked so hard to find was actually a base for human trafficking...

Damn it, it’s a fairy board!

The weak voice came again.

"By the way...brother, what is your physical condition?"

"The fact that you are favored by the Yinshi Sect means that you must be a genius in cultivation, just like me."

"Me? Genius?" Lin Jing didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Hearing what the other party said, it was indeed true. Perhaps I really did have some talent in cultivating immortals, otherwise I might not even be worth being sold.

However, this only advantage after the time travel now seems to have become his death warrant.

"Brother, don't panic. Being abducted here doesn't mean we are doomed."

"I'm not panicking. So what should we do next?" Lin Jing took a deep breath.

He is an optimistic person.

During his serious illness, with the encouragement of his relatives and friends, he developed a positive and optimistic attitude.

Have a good attitude and your luck will not be bad.

Look, he didn’t die, did he travel through time?

I saved my life for nothing.

“…The Yinshi Sect is one of the three major demon sects in the world of immortal cultivation, specializing in the illegal business of human trafficking.”

"They would capture some low-level immortal cultivators or mortals with rare physiques and sell them to some high-level immortal cultivators for them to possess or use as resources for practicing magic."

"Normally, our fate is obvious. We will either become the body of a cultivator who takes over another immortal body and rebuilds it, or we will be refined into a human medicine."

"But brother..." the man said, "We are not completely helpless. The reason why I asked about your situation is because some of you have special physical conditions but are not dead."

The weak voice said, "For example, I have the Yuan Yang body, which is the best cauldron for dual cultivation. Even if I die, I will just die of exhaustion and die happily. If I am lucky and the buyer is a kind female cultivator, I may not die... This is what I call a glimmer of hope."

Lin Jing was silent.

No wonder you're not panicking.

Why do I feel like you are looking forward to it? "So, brother, let me help you analyze it."

"me……"

What is your physique for cultivating immortals?
According to his understanding, in this world, more than 99% of the cultivators were mortals at first, but there were a few lucky ones who were born with spiritual bodies of various attributes, or special physiques, and they could often go further on the road of cultivation.

When he entered the "Qingniu Taoist Temple", the Taoist priest Qingniu seemed to have said that he had a unique physique for cultivation, an immortal body!
He himself was surprised that a short-lived ghost was paired with an immortal body.

The other party claimed that after embarking on the path of immortality, his lifespan would be at least ten times that of immortals at the same level!
The physical effect looks very simple, but it is better than an ordinary body. Lin Jing has decided that he will stay in the Taoist temple for a few thousand years and practice until he becomes invincible before coming out into the world.

But who knew that before long, the joy would...

So, is this immortal body of mine real?
"If I were immortal, what would be the ending?" Lin Jing asked.

"Huh? Immortal body?!" Yuan Yang body was stunned, then spoke in surprise, his tone became tough and no longer weak.

"You are actually an immortal!"

"Then you're done."

Lin Jing:?
"It is rumored that although practitioners with immortal bodies have long life spans, their flesh and blood are also said to make people 'immortal' after eating them. I have heard that the flesh and blood of immortal bodies is a great tonic for monsters and has an unimaginable temptation to monster beasts."

“I’m afraid... you’re going to be sold to a demon king by the Yinshi Sect and become their blood food!” Yuan Yang body sighed with regret.

Lin Jing:?
Tang Monk’s meat, right?
"That's okay." But the next moment, Lin Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

"I still have a chance."

"Why do you say that?" Yuan Yang body was stunned.

"Although I don't know much about the Immortal Body, but according to my speculation, the higher the realm of the cultivator with the Immortal Body, the better the effect of eating it will be." Lin Jing also analyzed.

"That is to say, after I am trafficked, I will not necessarily be eaten immediately."

"It's possible that the Demon King will forcibly raise my realm before consuming me."

"Besides, eating it all directly is too extravagant. If I were the demon king, I would slowly improve its quality for me. I would take its blood and cut its flesh every day and eat it in a cycle. This would maximize its value. Then I would make a suggestion to the demon king. Maybe we could have a long-term cooperation."

"It's better than being possessed directly..."

"Ah?" Yuan Yang body cried out, greatly shocked.

He really wanted to ask, are you a normal mortal? What on earth have you been through!
But in the end I didn’t ask…

The two of them were speechless.

Lin Jing looked up at the sky in silence again.

……

I don’t know how long it took.

There was a loud bang and the cell shook.

Lin Jing and Yuan Yang body, who had their eyes closed and were not sure what they were thinking, opened their eyes at the same time.

There was a huge commotion outside, as if someone was fighting.

Hearing the noise, Lin Jing suddenly thought of some key words and said, "Brother Lu, didn't you say before that the Yinshi Sect's activities are all illegal and they are a demon sect?"

"That is to say, there exists a 'righteous law enforcement organization' in the world of immortal cultivation."

"If that's the case, then do we still have another way to survive, that is, to be rescued by righteous people before being trafficked?"

The Yuan Yang body poked its head out. Unexpectedly, this mortal reacted so quickly, mainly because his emotions were too stable.

But his last name isn’t Lu.

"Is that so?" Lin Jing was calm, he knew that there is always a way out.

This noise...maybe a righteous fairy has come to rescue people!
As soon as he finished speaking, the stone wall broke and the huge cell was smashed. Along with flying rubble, an extremely majestic black bear monster, standing as tall as two people, appeared in front of Lin Jing, stepping on the ruins.

The black bear monster's muscles burst, its eyes were bloodshot, and as it looked at Lin Jing, its fang-filled mouth drooled as it spoke in human language:

"I can smell the fragrance from afar..."

"I'm so lucky that I can find an 'immortal body' in such a small place, and there are only some weak foundation-building monks guarding it."

"Looks like I can have a good meal..."

After Black Bear finished speaking, Lin Jing's smile faded. No, where did this monster come from?
