Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 178 The Great Accomplishment of Magical Skills
"Your turtle-shaped mechanical beast... has dual attributes of water and wood, right? In that case, it would be more appropriate to choose the Wave Dragon Turtle. After all, you already have the mecha, a defensive-type mechanical creation." Mo Qianyi gave a suggestion.

Lin Jing shook his head: "Besides these two, are there no other ones? Something a little more special."

He didn't like either of these two.

The elders of Shenji Villa frowned, feeling that this kid Lin Jing had a big appetite and even looked down on the Yuanying level mechanical beasts!
Do you want to reach the god level?

As for the divine-level mechanical beast, let’s not talk about whether Lin Jing can gather all the materials. It will take a long time for him to be able to control it. The most important thing is that this is the foundation of the Shenji Villa and it is unlikely to be traded.

Mo Qianyi was silent for a while. "There is a Jindan-level turtle-shaped mechanical beast. I wonder if you are interested. It has spatial attributes. Your other pet should also practice the way of space. You should understand that the spatial attribute is powerful and rare enough to be comparable to the Yuanying-level mechanical beast."

"However, the production and upgrading of this space mechanical turtle is more difficult than that of the Yuanying-level mechanical turtle. Moreover, it is not good at fighting."

space……

Lin Jing showed some interest: "What abilities does this space-mechanical turtle have?"

It doesn’t matter that he is not good at fighting, he currently has no shortage of fighting power.

Mo Qianyi said: "Its name is the Longevity Turtle, and its ability is treasure hunting."

"This mechanical turtle with spatial attributes has the ability to sense treasures. It is also like a storage device, with a super-large internal space. It is larger than any other storage magic weapon in circulation."

"Without the control of the master, it can leave the master and go out to search for treasures on its own, then store all the treasures it finds in its internal space and return to the master's side."

"Be it a spiritual stone, a broken and discarded spiritual tool, or a spiritual herb, as long as it finds it, it will store it in its internal space."

"And because of its spatial properties, it possesses the same invisible physique as the Blood Killing Tower's Tianjiao. Even Nascent Soul cultivators find it difficult to detect its trace."

"In addition... because of its spatial attributes, it can even sneak into some small worlds, space secrets, and ruins to search for treasures, and find high-level magic weapons and bring them back..."

"It is indeed a precious turtle, but why is it called the longevity precious turtle?" Lin Jing asked.

"Because it is best at finding treasures that increase longevity. The engineer who created it is an ancestor of our Shenji Villa who is about to die. He deeply felt the importance of life, so he created this longevity treasure turtle. The longevity treasure turtle usually goes out to look for treasures, and will only return if it finds spiritual plants and spiritual fruits that increase longevity."

The girl sighed and said, "But this kind of treasure is hard to find. Someone at Shenji Villa later made a longevity tortoise. This mechanical tortoise went out for twenty years before it successfully dug up a spiritual ginseng that could extend one's lifespan by a hundred years."

"The only good thing is that as long as you keep maintaining it, the lifespan of the mechanical beast is almost 'infinite'. It can be used to hunt for treasures all the time, which is not comparable to ordinary monsters." Mo Qianyi pointed out the advantages of mechanical creations.

"That's right." Lin Jing agreed. The lifespan of a mechanical beast depends on the lifespan of the material used to make it. Although general mechanical materials will also wear out and decompose, this situation can be avoided as long as the mechanical master continues to maintain it and replace old parts.

"Have you made your decision?"

"Ah."

Can I find a mechanical turtle that can increase my lifespan... Lin Jing smiled, feeling that it was destined for me.

Although he himself does not need the longevity-increasing treasures, as an immortal being, he will inevitably see his friends around him grow old one by one. It is a good choice to find the longevity-increasing treasures and give them as gifts during festivals.

In fact, the function is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Lin Jing wants his debut work to have intelligence, so that this mechanical turtle that has been with him for several years can open its eyes and see the world.

"Then I'll have the design drawing of this longevity turtle." Lin Jing said. Although it was more difficult to make and upgrade, Lin Jing estimated that the difficulty lay in the spatial materials.

As it happens, pine leaf mice should be able to provide something in this regard.

The materials for the old version of the mechanical turtle were originally provided by the pine leaf rat.

This new version of the mechanical turtle was also provided by Songyeshu, so it can be said to have a beginning and an end.

My own pine leaf mouse seems to have a certain talent for treasure hunting. I wonder if this longevity turtle can inherit it when it is born with intelligence.

"The design of the Longevity Turtle? It's settled then."

"Then let's prepare for each other and trade after the Tianjiao Battle is over, is that ok? How about choosing the Lotus Pavilion's contract document as the trading method?" Lin Jing said.

There was no problem with Shenji Villa, so naturally there was no problem with Lin Jing either. After both parties had finalized it, they separated. Lin Jing and Mo Qianyi first began to prepare for the next round of battle of geniuses.

...After this little episode at Shenji Villa, Lin Jing's own pace was not hindered. Under his entrustment, Xu Zhizhi continuously sent high-quality herbs and plants in the past few days, consuming the spirit stones earned from the auction of Shenglong Pill.

In the beast-controlling space, a pine leaf mouse dressed in a Taoist robe had an extraordinary aura. It picked up a high-grade plant and sucked it into withered flowers and plants, then threw it aside. It was hard to imagine that such a skill was passed on to it by a plant spirit.

The practice of the Qing Emperor's Longevity Skill was so simple and crude. After the pine leaf mouse absorbed it for another five days, after continuous absorption and consolidation, its body finally underwent some changes.

The pine leaf squirrel sat cross-legged on the ground, its vitality flowing like a spring, nourishing its body anew and giving it a new life. Squirrels are not like long-lived creatures such as turtles and carps, their lifespan is very short, with an average squirrel living less than ten years. Even a squirrel spirit that has achieved some success in cultivation cannot live longer than a human of the same level.

But now, the situation of the pine leaf mice in the forest realm is completely different. After the Qing Emperor's longevity skill was slightly successful, the lifespan of the pine leaf mice was increased by 500 years. After that, through the longevity foundation-building pill, it evolved into an immortal species, and its lifespan was increased by another 500 years due to a breakthrough in the realm.

If you calculate carefully, a pine leaf mouse in the foundation-building stage already has a lifespan of a thousand years.

It is almost comparable to the lifespan of the immortal Lin Jing during the Qi Refining Stage.

The immortal body in the Qi training stage also has a lifespan of over a thousand years. Of course, Lin Jing's immortal body is rather special. Due to the parasitism of the Ice Soul Gu, Lin Jing's life slips away very slowly. He senses that he can probably live longer now, not just a thousand years, maybe even two thousand years.

And now, the pine leaf mouse is not bad either. The Qing Emperor's longevity technique has finally been perfected, which has increased its lifespan by 1000 years. This is equivalent to having a lifespan of 2000 years. Although it is just a squirrel, its potential for longevity has now far surpassed those demon kings of the Beast Taming Sect who have lived for thousands of years.

They live so long because they are in the Nascent Soul stage and belong to long-lived races such as turtles, elephants, parrots, dragons, etc.

And now, the pine leaf rat's magical power has reached perfection, and his lifespan has suddenly increased to thousands!

"Congratulations." Lin Jing was in the inn, sensing the improvement of the pine leaf mouse's martial arts level throughout the whole process, and he couldn't help but feel genuinely excited. At least he didn't have to worry about the pine leaf mouse ending its life too early.

Lin Jing has always been worried that as an immortal, he would eventually live longer than his pets and end up alone.

Even if the monsters ate pure flesh and blood of the immortal body, their lifespan would not increase more than that of the immortal body itself. So even if Lin Jing really used his flesh and blood to extend the lifespan of his pets, they would definitely not live longer than himself.

However, Lin Jing felt that it was a little too early to think about this kind of thing now. Maybe he and his pets could find an opportunity to ascend to heaven, become immortals directly, and live as long as the sky.

"Squeak!" In response to Lin Jing's congratulations, Songyeshu stood up, his Taoist robe fluttering, indicating that he still wanted to thank fellow Taoist Longli.

If it weren't for Brother Longli's desperate efforts in refining elixirs in the past two years, in exchange for a large amount of plant resources, it would have been impossible for him to achieve great success in the art of longevity.

The pine leaf mouse crossed its arms, determined to gamble the honor of the pine leaf mouse clan and seize the huge power of luck for fellow dragon carp to help it transform into a dragon. The strong will lead the strong to the strong. It feels that after the longevity skill is perfected, it will be terribly strong, and the control over plants and trees has reached an incredible level.

"Unfortunately, you are still in the early stage of foundation building due to the contract. Fortunately, you have the blood of the Supreme Demon King, so your mana is barely enough. Well, when I build my foundation, you can probably break through to the middle stage of foundation building right away."

Lin Jing analyzed the current situation of the pine leaf mouse. Theoretically speaking, since the Qing Emperor's Longevity Art had been perfected and so many resources had been used, it was not impossible for the pine leaf mouse to reach the late stage of foundation building or perfection.

As for the current situation, it is probably necessary for the Songyeshu to reach the Forest Realm Foundation Establishment before it will have a chance to continue to break through. It should be no problem to break through to the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment all at once. There is also a certain probability that it will break through continuously and reach the late stage of the Foundation Establishment in one go...

……

Seven days after the end of the second round, the third round of the battle of geniuses finally began.

"The Tianji Building has written the names of the last eight Tianjiao on sticks. Next, one person will be randomly selected to be the champion. It's called random, but the sticks are held by the Tianji Building's magic weapon, the Luck Bottle. Although it may not be accurate, the name that falls out is likely to be the one with the best chance of winning the Tianjiao Battle and the strongest luck among the eight contestants."

Tianhuihua stood tall in the sky, holding a white bottle.

The audience was shocked when they heard this. They thought the first champion was chosen completely randomly, but they didn't expect that there was such a thing as an internal decision.

Everyone naturally believed in the deduction level of Tianji Tower. Maybe before the competition even started, Tianji Tower already knew who the winner would be!
So... who will be the first champion, the innate Taoist body, the number one genius Chen Zhong?
Perhaps he has the ability to stand to the end after facing off against seven other geniuses!

"This person will be the first champion of the next ring battle. The remaining seven people can challenge him or give up the challenge!"

Finally, the name tag fell out.

When the audience and contestants saw this name, they suddenly became quiet and the scene was dead silent.

"Him?" What was written above was not the number one prodigy Chen Zhong, the number two prodigy Mo Qianyi, or those new prodigies who had just emerged, but surprisingly... the Beastmaster Lin Jing, who had previously defeated the number three prodigy with mechanical arts and whose trump card was thought to have been destroyed!
