Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 272 Three Wishes
"Your Majesty..." Lin Jing's heart fluttered. Three wishes? Then he wouldn't hold back.

"Your Majesty, as someone with an immortal body, I hope to receive your protection so that I can grow up smoothly." Whether he mentioned it or not, Lin Jing understood that with his current value, the Demon Court would definitely protect him.

However, Lin Jing still wasted one of his wishing opportunities and chose to mention it, all for the sake of the Demon Emperor's personal promise.

"As the Holy Son of the Demon Court, I will naturally protect you as you grow. In addition, I will help you once more to eliminate potential enemies and intimidate the world."

Have you ever heard of the Pill Gathering?

"The Tower of Heaven Pill Gathering?" Lin Jing was taken aback, then said, "Of course I've heard of it."

"This is the biggest event in Qingzhou, and all forces in Qingzhou, and even those outside Qingzhou, will be paying attention."

"Once you have researched and developed the Transformation Pill, you can participate in the Tower of Heaven Pill Gathering in your true form."

"When you appear, you will attract many covetous eyes. I will then step in to help you eliminate all the enemies who come, and all the spoils of war will be yours."

"Finally, you hereby announce to all the demon beast races in the world that you have developed the method of transformation."

"From now on, you no longer need to walk in an illusory form. As the Holy Son of my Demon Court, you should walk in the cultivation world in your true form, and no one will be able to ignore your existence."

"This..." Lin Jing was moved. It seemed that the Demon Emperor had great ambitions. With the advent of the method to revive the demon race, it probably wanted to continue to expand the power of the Demon Court and attract more demon races to join the Demon Court.

Having him demonstrate the art of transformation at the Pill Gathering serves two purposes: firstly, it's tantamount to announcing to the world that the path of the demon race has been revived. Having the Pill Gathering as a witness is far more convincing than the Demon Court making its own announcement.

Secondly, the appearance of his immortal body will inevitably attract the covetousness of many powerful figures. At that time, the Demon Emperor can also use this as an excuse to demonstrate the power of the Demon Court and take action against demonic sects like the Yin Corpse Sect.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Lin Jing said. "However... I had previously considered participating in the Pill Gathering to obtain the Candle Flame, a rare fire from the Tower of Babel's collection. But if I participate in the Pill Gathering with the Transformation Pill, it might not be so easy to obtain the Candle Flame."

"So my second wish is to obtain this top-tier strange fire with the time attribute, the Candlelight Fire."

Although he received the protection of the Demon Court, Lin Jing knew that his own strength was his greatest reliance.

He must master the Heavenly Demon Body.

He didn't have Gu Qianqiu's aptitude, so if he wanted to cultivate the Heavenly Demon Body, he had to borrow the Candlelight Flame.

Although he still wasn't very confident about whether he could cultivate the Heavenly Demon Body after obtaining the Candlefire, he couldn't miss this fire!

"Alright," the Demon Emperor agreed.

"As for my third wish, I wonder if I can keep it for later use?"

Lin Jing originally wanted the Demon Emperor to help him seize a rare Gu, but considering that the Demon Emperor had already agreed to help him once to wipe out the powerful enemies of the Yin Corpse Sect and the Gu God Sect, and that all the spoils of war would belong to him, Lin Jing temporarily gave up this idea.

If he could attract the owner of the rare Gu from the Gu God Sect, he might be able to obtain the rare Gu as well, so there was no need to waste a wish.

At present, Lin Jing does not have any other urgent wishes to fulfill. In that case, it might be more valuable to save this wish for a crucial moment in the future.

"As you wish." The Demon Emperor did not refuse, and then, taking the synthetic transformation grass from the forest realm, it disappeared from this place.

……

Meanwhile, in the Demon Court space, in a pitch-black place, a snow-white divine tiger silently poked at a small blade of grass in front of it.

"Can I transform into human form through this blade of grass...?" It picked up the grass and licked it.

"This herb is of too low a grade. I wonder if there's any treasure that can improve the quality of spiritual plants. That way, I won't have to wait for further research on that immortal cub; I can transform into human form first." "I also need to find a way myself..."

"The demon race is about to revive! By the grace of our ancestors, I, the Emperor, am about to successfully revive the demon race. Stop appearing in my dreams! I'm already a Demon Emperor; I really don't want to dream about it anymore. I will definitely revitalize the demon race..."

……

"His Royal Highness the Holy Son."

"Disciple of the Demon Emperor."

"Your Highness..."

"Disciple of the Demon Emperor..."

At this moment, Lin Jing and Xu Qingyao, who had gained the favor of the Demon Emperor by researching the method of transformation, were still immersed in boundless joy. They held hands and celebrated their change of identity.

"Junior brother, I knew you could do it."

"Thanks to my senior sister's unconditional trust and support, we have made progress so far."

"However, we can't be too happy yet. The existing transformation methods still have too many limitations. We must develop a universal transformation method as soon as possible." Xu Qingyao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Speaking of the Pill Gathering, it seems to be in about two years. Although His Majesty the Demon Emperor did not specify which Pill Gathering the Transformation Technique should be displayed, I still hope it will be as soon as possible." Lin Jing was already impatient to have the Demon Emperor help him wipe out the two major demonic sects.

Oh, and it would be best if you could also take care of the Sky Lion Clan while you're at it, since you've already offended that faction.

"Holy Son..." At this moment, Mosquito Girl, who had become the fourth Holy Maiden of the Demon Court, flew to Lin Jing and Xu Qingyao's side.

"In accordance with His Majesty the Demon Emperor's decree, from this day forward, I shall be the Holy Son's maidservant. May I ask what His Majesty the Holy Son's instructions are next?" The Mosquito Woman led her army of mosquito beasts and knelt before Lin Jing.

Lin Jing smiled slightly and said, "From now on, you will stay in this valley and recuperate for a while. The Third Saintess will provide you with food and find suitable cultivation methods for you. From today onwards, you just need to lead this group of mosquito beasts and suppress their ferocity."

"Yes, ma'am." Mosquito Girl nodded obediently.

Lin Jing, even with the Seven Star Beast God Circle, is currently struggling to perfectly control this massive army that even Nascent Soul cultivators fear. However, Mosquito Girl manages to do so, proving that the demon race is indeed blessed with unique advantages.

Fortunately, the Mosquito Girl has now become his maid.

After Lin Jing and Xu Qingyao renamed this valley "Mosquito Valley," it was completely sealed by a barrier. Later, on the way back, Xu Qingyao couldn't help but ask, "Next, you'll start preparing for the Pill Gathering according to the Demon Emperor's wishes, right? Now that I have the Demon Emperor's permission, I can confidently and without restriction obtain the resources in the Demon Court's treasury. If you need anything, just say so."

"I'm not sure what we need right now. I'll talk to you about it later, Senior Sister. But does the Demon Court have any ice-attribute spiritual objects, the corpses of demonic beasts with royal bloodlines or higher, or the corpses of powerful human cultivators who specialize in ice magic and have ice-attribute physiques? Something we can use freely."

"Of course, living beings are fine too. The most important thing is that I can do whatever I want with them, and that they are the enemy."

"Hmm?" Xu Qingyao asked, "Are you planning to use it to cultivate that Ice Gu?"

"Yes, of the three pet beasts, it has the lowest cultivation level. It's time to train it up."

"After it forms its core, you should be able to form your core too, right? What are your thoughts on the fourth pet beast, that mosquito girl...?" Xu Qingyao asked.

Lin Jing was taken aback, then shook his head and said, "It's not suitable, after all, the other pets in the team have eaten too many mosquitoes. But Senior Sister, you reminded me that it's time for one of the candidates for the fourth pet to be born. Although I don't know if we can form a contract... I'd appreciate it if you could help me find these resources again."

He handed over the list of rare resources needed by the mechanical beast Longevity Turtle to his eldest sister, who was one of the candidates for the fourth pet beast.
