Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 277 A Second Chance Encounter

"Your Holiness... have I succeeded...?"

A moment later, the white mouse shakily got up, looking like it was about to die...

Lin Jing sighed. That's why the demonic beasts used in the pill-testing must be strong.

Otherwise, even if a demon beast eventually succeeds in transforming into human form using the Transformation Pill, this state wouldn't demonstrate the power of the Transformation Pill or the demon race...

"You've succeeded." Lin Jing said, "Congratulations... This is a Transformation Pill. I see that you will take the form of a child after transformation, so I will name you Rat Child."

"Mouse Boy, you will continue your training with your four companions as usual. I will call you when I need you. That day should not be too far away."

"Thank you so much, Holy Son!!!" The mouse boy was overjoyed. In its eyes, it had already gained the attention of the forest realm!
This near-death experience of trying the elixir was absolutely worthwhile.

……

After completing the pill-testing, Lin Jing checked on the rat boy's condition and then left the cave to find his senior sister.

The mouse child's transformation from a beast form to a demon form did not bring about significant changes in cultivation or power; the main changes were in intelligence and comprehension.

The biggest difference between demon beasts and the demon race is that the demon race not only possesses the bloodline and physical strength of demon beasts, but can also cultivate most of the techniques and spells of the human race. It can be said that the demon race combines the advantages of both demon beasts and humans to a certain extent.

In Lin Jing's view, the process of the Mouse Child transforming into a demon was actually a relatively normal transformation process.

On the contrary, the Mosquito Woman's transformation should be considered an exception, since the Mosquito Beast race cannot be regarded as a regular monster.

Of course, it's also possible that it underwent a more intense baptism, which is why its abilities increased significantly after transforming.

"As expected, we have successfully refined a Transformation Pill to reduce the power of the Heavenly Tribulation. Although the transformation effect may be somewhat weaker, it is safer." Lin Jing reported the results to Xu Qingyao.

"You really are a genius." Xu Qingyao was no longer surprised that Lin Jing could succeed so quickly; those who create miracles are always capable of doing so.

"So, is there anything I can help you with next? If there's nothing, you probably wouldn't have come to me," the senior sister said with a smile.

“I plan to participate in the Pill Gathering in a few months, but I’m currently lacking a suitable demonic beast for the Pill Test. Although the side effects of the Transformation Pill have been greatly reduced, and it will only attract a Heavenly Tribulation with the power of a Golden Core cultivator, it’s still not something that just any Foundation Establishment demonic beast can handle,” Lin Jing said.

"As for mosquitoes, the required number would be too large, which is inconvenient..."

"Hmm? Otherwise..." Before Xu Qingyao could speak, Lin Jing already knew what she was going to say.

"The Ice Soul Gu is also unsuitable."

"Although I had considered letting it try the Transformation Grass before, that was a last resort. But there are still two major risks in using it to try. One is that the life form of the Gu worm is special, and it is unknown whether it can transform normally. The other is... it now has a contract with me. Just as the Beast Taming Technique cannot contract with plant spirits, perhaps the Beast Taming Technique cannot contract with 'human-shaped demon beasts' either."

"If the transformation of the contracted pet causes problems with the cultivation technique and the contract, then it will be a loss."

The eldest sister nodded, agreeing with Lin Jing's point, and said, "That's how it is. We'll find a disciple from the Beast Taming Sect to be our guinea pig first..." "Perfect, it'll also help mitigate the risks for Father and Ouyang!"

"Has Senior Brother Ouyang not emerged from seclusion yet?" Lin Jing asked. He had been in seclusion ever since the Qilin Clan returned. Although Senior Brother Ouyang hadn't contributed much to the tea party, Senior Sister had still distributed a lot of resources to each member of Queyu. With resources, he naturally needed to go into seclusion to digest them.

This also means that even though Lin Jing has been researching the method of transformation for so long, he still hasn't been able to share his joy with him.

However, this is also good. He has not yet improved the quality of the Transformation Pill. Even if the Core Formation stage fox demon and the Nascent Soul stage Crane Lady see the hope of transformation, he cannot try it. Rather than seeing the hope too early and waiting anxiously, it is better to go into seclusion until the transformation method is completely perfected.

"Not yet..." Xu Qingyao thought for a moment and said, "How about we try inviting the little princess of the Thunder Dragon Clan again?"

"Huh?" Lin Jing was taken aback.

The eldest sister pondered and said, "Although the Thunder Dragon Clan Chief initially refused our invitation to conduct experiments, as you said, from the Thunder Dragon Clan Chief's perspective, its choice was not problematic. All life forms tend to seek advantage and avoid harm."

"Now that the method of transformation has been verified and approved by His Majesty the Demon Emperor, the position of the trial beast is extremely coveted. We are willing to set aside past grievances and give its daughter a chance, and the Thunder Dragon Clan will be extremely grateful..."

"When the time comes... it wouldn't be too much to make the Thunder Dragon Clan pay a price for their previous blindness, would it?" Xu Qingyao smiled slightly.

"So, what good things does the Thunder Dragon Clan have that makes you so interested, Senior Sister..." Lin Jing asked.

"Of course it's the blood and scales of the Thunder Dragon clan! Don't you know? The blood and scales of the Thunder Dragon clan are known as one of the ten most precious body-forging treasures on the Tianyuan Continent!"

“It is extremely precious. Even the Demon Court’s treasury does not contain their blood. The Thunder Dragon Clan is very careful in preserving its own scales and blood.”

Xu Qingyao touched Lin Jing's arm and said, "Your arms and legs are so thin. Although it's clear you've trained hard, they're still too weak. Don't even mention comparing them to those physically powerful demon beasts. Even after I reached the Foundation Establishment stage and activated my half-demon bloodline, my physical strength is still above yours."

“Although we beast-taming cultivators have secret techniques like ‘fusion’ and ‘beast transformation artifacts,’ our physical strength still can’t be too weak. Besides, you are an immortal being, so you should avoid getting injured even more…”

"Is it really that bad?" Lin Jing was speechless. But it was true. So far, he had only cultivated his physical body through the Vajra Fist. Compared to those physical cultivation geniuses in the ancient country, he might be considered good enough, but in the eyes of the senior sister who had seen more, he might indeed be a bit weak.

The main reason is that he really didn't have much time to cultivate his physical body before.

It's all thanks to his foundation at the thirteenth level of Qi Refining...

"That's not important. What's important is that as long as you have the scales and blood of the Thunder Dragon Clan, and use them to temper your body, your physical strength should be able to improve quickly. If it's not unparalleled in the world, it's enough to have the potential to become a god through physical means."

"Ideally, we could get the core blood of the Thunder Dragon Ancestor... When that happens, remember to share a drop with Senior Sister..." Xu Qingyao patted Lin Jing's shoulder and laughed, "I'm counting on you, Your Highness."

Lin Jing remained silent. Fine, in order to forge an even stronger physical body, he would give the Thunder Dragon Clan another chance.

"Where is the Thunder Dragon Clan's encampment? Senior Sister, let's go there together."

"Oh... bring Mosquito Girl along too, so that the Thunder Dragon Clan can also see this first demon."
