Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 23 Spirit Bamboo
Fulfill...a wish!
As soon as these words were spoken, the pine leaf squirrel, which had been dozing off and had little interest in the whole process, suddenly opened its eyes wide.

It has never been interested in the so-called mechanical rewards, and feels that they are not as good as spirit stones.

But when the pine leaf mouse heard what Elder Yu said, he was immediately overjoyed.

Asking for a storage bag shouldn't be too much of a wish, right?

It is not known whether Lin Jing is interested in learning mechanical arts now, but Songyeshu has the urge to make a mechanical beast by himself.

If nothing else, just to make a wish.

Elder Yu's move can be described as the most powerful conspiracy.

Even Lin Jing, who was always calm, raised his head slightly and looked at Elder Yu seriously, as if he wanted to confirm whether what the other person said... was true.

"Elder, is it true that any wish that is not excessive is acceptable?" he asked after hesitating.

"of course."

"Elder, we have indeed encountered some problems, but they should be solved within your responsibility..."

"What is it?"

Just when the pine leaf mouse thought that Lin Jing was finally going to help it get the storage bag, Lin Jing started to communicate with it mentally.

[Storage bags are easy to buy, but the opportunity to make a wish with the outer sect elders is rare! ]

The pine leaf mouse was startled.

Lin Jing clasped his fists and said, "Elder, since we entered the sect, my disciple and Songyeshu have not had a full meal because we eat so much, and we have never been to the cafeteria. If we can successfully create a mechanical beast, can we... always eat in the outer cafeteria for free?"

Pine Leaf Mouse: “!!!”

"Huh?" Elder Yu thought it was a big deal. He laughed and stroked his beard, saying, "Such a small matter is naturally no problem. There is always a certain amount of food left over from the cafeteria every day. The leftovers would have been distributed to the spirit beasts and demon beasts raised by the sect. It's just two more mouths to feed."

Elder Yu sighed, thankfully the outer disciples had little experience and the requests they made were not excessive.

"Thank you, Elder! After we return, we will definitely study mechanical engineering without distraction!"

As for Lin Jing's wish, although the pine leaf mouse still wanted a storage bag, it really couldn't find any fault with this wish.

After all... they have golden spiritual rice to whet their appetite, and the amount of food one person eats in a day is equivalent to that of ten people.

If there is a place where you can eat very nutritious food for free, then over time, the money saved on resources and food expenses can buy several storage bags.

Songyeshu counted on his fingers, then looked at Elder Yu in silence.

"Okay." At this moment, Elder Yu had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem. He said, "But don't force it. In the field of mechanical engineering, you still need to be passionate about it in order to go further."

"In fact, as a beast tamer, it would be good for you to learn a mechanical skill as a secondary skill."

"Mechanical beasts are also beasts. Compared to contracted beasts that are like friends and relatives, they are lifeless and can often perform more dangerous tasks for the beastmaster, such as... testing formations and exploring dangerous areas."

"You have been in the sect for some time. I wonder if you have developed an interest in other skills besides taming beasts?" Elder Yu...planned to slowly cultivate Lin Jing's interest in the art of mechanical engineering.

"Replying to the elder..." Lin Jing said honestly: "I want to learn alchemy in the future, and I have been memorizing the effects of plants and trees recently."

"Alchemy..." Elder Yu was speechless. How vulgar! Alchemy and refining equipment, how could it be as interesting as mechanical engineering?

He said, "Alchemy... is not easy. The most important thing is that it is boring. Just to learn the basics of alchemy, you have to memorize the effects of tens of thousands of plants."

"Yes, it took me a long time just to remember these." Lin Jing sighed, as if he had returned to the time when he was taking the college entrance examination, postgraduate entrance examination, and civil service examination in his previous life.

He suspected that his terminal brain disease was caused by the death of too many brain cells due to these things.

Even though I passed the exam, I am ruined.

Elder Yu:?

"Have you memorized all the contents of the Outer Sect's Complete Collection of Plants and Trees?" Elder Yu suspected that he had heard something wrong. It had only been a short time since Lin Jing joined the sect, and a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage could only recite such a large amount of complex information bit by bit. The jade slips could not be used to instill information, otherwise it would explode his brain.

"Yes." Lin Jing nodded. He indeed found that his memory had improved after traveling through time. After cultivating immortality, this feeling became more obvious. Combined with the soul-replenishing technique to relieve fatigue, memorizing things was not difficult.

"What is the effect of Ye Linglong's medicine?" asked Elder Yu.

"It regulates Qi and relieves pain. It is one of the core ingredients for refining elixirs for diseases caused by Qi disorder."

"Seven-star chrysanthemum."

"Warming the yang and removing the cold is the process of refining..."

"Spiritual bamboo juice!" He pointed to the pile of spiritual bamboo.

"It is a supplementary ingredient for refining the Qingling Pill..."

Elder Yu was speechless. He had originally wanted to dissuade Lin Jing from learning alchemy, but now he didn't know what to say.

Okay, this immortal is so clever, I think it won't be hard for him to learn some mechanical engineering! If you can learn, learn more!
……

After Elder Yu threw the remaining spiritual bamboo to Lin Jing and the others, he no longer cared about them.

One has to bear the consequences of one's own sins. Lin Jing and Songyeshu took great pains to move many spiritual bamboos back to the courtyard.

Although they could also find a disciple who had contracted to transport the cattle, they decided not to do so when they thought about the cost of hiring him.

Not long after, Lingzhu moved from the Machinery Workshop to Lin Jing's yard.

Looking at the pile of spiritual bamboos, Lin Jing touched his chin. This time, in order to get the permanent free meal coupons for the outer canteen, he had to work hard to learn the art of mechanical engineering.

"Come to think of it." Lin Jing looked at the pile of spiritual bamboo and suddenly remembered something.

"When we were in the bamboo forest, I saw a bunch of spiritual bamboos and wanted you to use your Glazed Immortal Pupils to synthesize them. However, just cutting down the spiritual bamboos consumed all your energy."

"Now, are you interested in trying it? This thing is also considered a plant."

"Squeak?" The pine leaf mouse jumped off Lin Jing's shoulder and looked at him. Not making materials for the mechanism?

"It's just spiritual bamboo. If it's gone, you can buy more." Lin Jing said. This is not a rare resource.

After hearing this, the pine leaf mouse turned around and thought about it. It felt that it was right, so it looked at the pile of spiritual bamboo with its Glazed Immortal Eyes to see if it had any effect...

suddenly!

Emerald light burst from its eyes.

…The magical power of the Glazed Immortal Pupil instantly enveloped the ten emerald green spiritual bamboos.

It seems possible!

The next moment, ten spiritual bamboos, covered in emerald green light, slowly... merged into a small blue spiritual bamboo!
"Squeak..." At the same time, the pine leaf mouse covered its eyes and howled. It felt that this synthesis consumed much more pupil power than the synthesis of spiritual rice and spiritual beans, and its eyes seemed to be over-used.

However, despite the pain, the pine leaf mouse still urged Lin Jing to quickly see the effect of the blue spiritual bamboo.

Hearing this, Lin Jing carefully picked up the blue spiritual bamboo. Having learned from the experience with the black bear monster, he did not dare to use too much force.

"Hmm?" Unexpectedly, as soon as Lin Jing picked up the spiritual bamboo, crystal juice flowed out from one end.

This reminded Lin Jing of the question Elder Yu had asked him before.

"Spiritual bamboo juice? Spiritual bamboo juice needs to receive the rain and dew from heaven and earth, absorb the spiritual energy of the sun and moon, and bathe in wind, rain, thunder and lightning to be produced in the growing spiritual bamboo. These cut spiritual bamboos have long lost the possibility of producing spiritual bamboo juice. Could it be that the effect of the blue spiritual bamboo is to naturally produce spiritual bamboo juice?"

Lin Jing analyzed it, but he didn't expect that the pressure inside the spiritual bamboo was getting bigger and bigger. With a "boom", a high-pressure water jet was ejected from the bamboo, instantly blasting a big hole in the wall. This is not spiritual bamboo juice... it's a high-pressure water pipe! Lin Jing was pushed into the air by the reaction force of the water cannon ejected from the bamboo, and flew backwards and hit the house, his body and hands trembling.
