Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 114 Before Building the Foundation
"I'm very sorry for exposing my cultivation..."

After learning the reason why Senior Shensong didn't want to expose his cultivation level, Lin Jing felt extremely sorry.

"It's okay." Shen Song said, "Since I promised to protect you for a hundred years, I'm ready to be exposed."

"If someone wants to use me to refine an avatar, they should see if they have the ability to do so. I didn't grow up eating meat."

Taking this opportunity, Lin Jing asked about the doubts that had been in his mind for a long time. Senior Shensong claimed to be a plant and wood demon cultivator, and had such cultivation. What kind of experience did he have with the second generation sect master? Why was he willing to stay in the Beast Taming Sect and protect himself, a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect?

"Why do you want to know everything?"

"It's not good for you to know too much, so just be quiet and improve your cultivation."

"You haven't improved your cultivation at all after three years of seclusion. I really don't know if you can form a pill when the hundred-year deadline is up." Shen Song doubted.

Lin Jing just shut up and said no more.

After a long time, Shen Song said, "Very efficient. You can go out now. The original body of the Demon King of Nanshan has been killed. I don't know how much the monks of the academy paid to kill this old Demon King."

"After all, a demon king who is nearing his end may look weak, but from another perspective, he is almost dead. If that's the case, no one should expect to have an easy life!"

"The Demon King of Nanshan is dead?" Lin Jing didn't expect that the strong man from the academy would be so quick.

“I guess he met a strong person who helped him.” Shen Song guessed, “It’s a pity that he didn’t chase after him himself in order to protect you, otherwise the body of the Demon King would be full of treasures, not to mention that he is a dragon demon.”

"But this incarnation is not bad either. No wonder those two people from the Demon Extermination Bureau want to use you as bait. It feels so good." It chuckled.

Demon King, Demon Emperor, Demon Ancestor, Demon Emperor...

Corresponding to Yuanying, Huashen, Kongxuan and Dao.

The bloodline of a Demon King is more terrifying than that of a Demon King, not to mention the notorious Supreme Demon King like the Demon King of Nanshan.

……

Just now, countless powerful people from the academy set off and the barrier of Qianlong City was opened, which shocked many cultivators. Such a big scene has not appeared in Qianlong City for a long time. Many people were wondering what had happened.

After Lin Jing returned to the academy, he was immediately invited to a meeting hall. The first seat was occupied by an old man with a goatee, who looked like an ordinary person and there was nothing unusual about him.

On both sides below, there were two people sitting on each side. They were the four academy gods that Lin Jing had just seen.

As for the old man who was in the lead...

It was one of the three vice-presidents of Qianlong Academy. He actually rushed back at the critical moment. Lin Jing judged that the Demon King of Nanshan was most likely killed by the other party.

“Are you Lin Jing?” The old man with a goatee observed Lin Jing and said, “The Immortal Body has indeed not appeared for a long time. No wonder the Demon King of Nanshan is crazy about it.”

"You have hidden it very well. Unfortunately, the Yinshi Sect already has information about your immortal body. We learned this by recalling the memories of the Nanshan Demon King. It was the Yinshi Sect who told the Nanshan Demon King."

"Although the Demon King of Nanshan is dead, the information about your immortal body may still be sold to others by the Yinshi Sect. You, a little cultivator, will have a hard time in the future."

Lin Jing smiled bitterly.

"Thank you all for helping to kill the Demon King of Nanshan... As for what happens in the future, we can only take it one step at a time."

"You don't have to worry too much." The goat-bearded old man said with a smile, "Your protector is quite good. He can actually transform into a god in this era with a body of grass and wood. With it protecting you, your safety should not be greatly affected."

"Also, it was the academy's negligence that allowed the Demon King of Nanshan to take advantage of the situation and sneak in. Qianlong City will strengthen its defenses in the future. As long as you are in Qianlong City, this kind of thing will not happen again."

After comforting Lin Jing, the academy masters present let Lin Jing leave. After Lin Jing left, the atmosphere in the conference hall suddenly became solemn.

One of the women who had reached the state of spiritual transformation looked at the vice-president and said, "President, this is an act of revenge by the Yin Corpse Sect."

"I know." The old man with a goat beard said with a bad face, "But the Yin Corpse Sect wants to 'Refine the Immortal Puppet', so we must not let them proceed smoothly."

"If it weren't for the previous demon-slaying, they wouldn't have discovered that there was a 'corpse of an immortal beast' in the Yinshi Sect. They wanted to refine the corpse of the immortal beast into a corpse puppet. If they succeeded, the consequences would be disastrous."

"Currently, most of the powerful people in the ancient country have been invested in the eradication of the Yinshi Sect and the enticement of the Demon King to invade Qianlong City. It can also be seen that the situation of the Yinshi Sect is not optimistic."

"As for this immortal body... there is no need for any additional attention in the future." The old man with a goatee shook his head.

The immortal body in the Qi training stage is still easy to protect. Unless it is a monster like the Nanshan Demon King who is approaching the end of his life, the Demon King with strong vitality will not take the huge risk to capture the immortal body.

However, as the immortal body's cultivation level increases, it will become increasingly difficult to protect it.

The flesh and blood of a weak immortal body are not very attractive to powerful monsters. Just like the sacred pine, it does not have much idea about the current forest environment.

But if the Immortal Body is cultivated to a high level, I am afraid that even the Emperor among Demons will covet it. Unless there is a great man in the Asking Dao Stage to protect Lin Jing at that time, otherwise Lin Jing's path of cultivation... is destined to be bumpy.

Plus, the immortal body's cultivation is slow...

Except for third-rate sects like the Beast Taming Sect that haven't seen much of the world, ordinary strong people are really unwilling to take the trouble to cultivate, because if they are careless, the immortal body will be eaten.

Even the dean did not want to go to great lengths to protect Lin Jing. It was too difficult and too tiring.

You can't guard against thieves for a thousand days even if you are a thief for a thousand days. Whether you can grow smoothly depends entirely on the luck of the immortal body.

……

When Lin Jing returned to the cave, he remembered that he had forgotten to ask Senior Shensong for pine cones.

The commotion just now made Longli stop refining the elixir and Songyeshu stop farming. The two guys were looking out from the top of the mountain. Only when they saw Lin Jing return safely did they breathe a sigh of relief and hug each other.

"Come on, I'll take you to make the elixir!"

Lin Jing only reported good news and not bad news. He dragged the two little guys along, called Shensong, and couldn't wait to refine the immortality foundation-building elixir.

Since Senior Shensong has achieved the state of becoming a god through his cultivation, one of its pine cones must also be extraordinary.

If it were added to the Longevity Foundation-Building Pill, I couldn’t imagine how amazing the pine leaf rat would be after using this pill to build its foundation.

"Do you want pine cones?"

After the pine cone transformed by the sacred pine appeared, it sighed and said, "Come on, come on, it's been so long, you are finally going to build your foundation, but I've been waiting for you for so long."

"Please give us some fruit and protect us," Lin Jing requested.

"There's no rush." ​​After saying that, Shensong planted a sapling in front of the forest cave. The sapling was filled with red light, which was quite strange. "This sapling contains my roots and will produce several third-grade pine cones. You can't refine those with too high a grade. In addition, it also has the effect of a blood-sucking vine. Next, you can bleed and water it."

"Okay!" Lin Jing looked at the pine leaf mouse with a determined look. As long as the pine leaf mouse could build a perfect foundation, everything would be worth it.

"Senior, what you said is that, is it possible for the blood level of Songye Mouse to surpass the king level and reach the blood level of the demon king?"

"Impossible. It's good enough to surpass the bloodline of that dragon carp and get close to the current Ice Soul Gu. Among your three pets, only the Ice Soul Gu of the Xiantian Gu King has the possibility to evolve to the royal bloodline when building the foundation! The other two are too inferior in innate!"
