Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 372 Private Visit on Weibo
The first ancient emperor's face darkened.

Damn it, so you're the same Lin Jing, the peerless genius of the Demon Court, that you yourself claimed to be!
The first ancient emperor sensed that Lin Jing possessed the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique and assumed he was a prodigy of the ancient kingdom, but who knew...

Who knew that he wasn't a cultivator from an ancient kingdom, or even from a human force, but rather a holy son of a demon force!
What's even more infuriating is that Lin Jing seems to have betrayed the ancient kingdom and joined the Demon Court!
"No need to say anything more." Seeing that Lin Jing wanted to say something more, the First Ancient Emperor said, "I understand the general idea."

"You possess a body of immortality, coveted by all sides. However, due to the difficulty in cultivating and protecting such a body, the ancient kingdom did not offer you much protection during your time there..."

"But because you have developed the method of demon transformation, the Demon Court regards you as the hope for the revival of the demon race and is willing to protect you at a higher level. This is also the reason why you chose to join the Demon Court."

“His Majesty the Ancient Emperor was right.” Lin Jing nodded.

"That good-for-nothing." The first ancient emperor cursed and then cursed the second ancient emperor. If he remembered correctly, the True Dragon Secret Technique should contain a secret technique for observing the potential of the world's most talented people.

A prodigy like Lin Jing, who can obtain immortal cultivation techniques and divine books from the grotto heaven, and who can research the method to revive the demon race, must be one of the protagonists of the era. He couldn't understand why the second-generation ancient emperor failed to recognize such talents early on and protect and cultivate them properly.

There is only one possibility: the second-generation ancient emperor simply did not care about the cultivators at the bottom.

"Could it be..." The first ancient emperor suddenly paused and asked.

"After I left, did the second-generation ancient emperor promulgate many new policies?"

Lin Jing nodded and said, "Indeed, there are many new policies."

The first emperor paced back and forth. Even without understanding the new policies, he could guess that the ancient kingdom had changed drastically since his reign.

He asked tentatively.

"In this ancient kingdom, would they still offer free testing of every mortal's aptitude for cultivation?"

Lin Jing shook his head.

"Are the current dragon veins of fortune still evenly distributed across every part of the land?"

Lin Jing also shook his head.

The First Ancient Emperor's face darkened again, and he said, "I understand. This brat didn't listen to a word I said."

"Your name is Lin Jing, right? I'm planning not to go back to the ancient clan for now."

"If you have time, take me on a tour of this ancient kingdom. I want to make an incognito visit to see how the kingdom has changed after I left thousands of years ago."

"Uh." Lin Jing said, "I have no problem with that, but my time is very precious. Summoning His Majesty's projection would also waste a lot of energy. As long as His Majesty can offer enough benefits, I will do my best to find a way to 'go on a private visit' in the Ancient Kingdom, let alone His Majesty wanting to sit on the Demon Emperor's dragon throne."

Legend has it that the first ancient emperor rose from humble beginnings, a mortal who embarked on the path of cultivation after a fortuitous encounter in a chaotic world. Therefore, the first ancient emperor valued mortals more than those born and raised in cultivation families or sects.

Currently, it is speculated that the second-generation ancient emperor may not have developed the ancient kingdom according to his wishes, which has made the first-generation ancient emperor particularly dissatisfied.

"I'm not dead yet," the first ancient emperor said angrily.

"You are indeed dead, killed by a meteorite," Lin Jing corrected.

"Then I'm alive again now." The first ancient emperor also needs Lin Jing's help now. Although he felt that he could use some means to break free from the tortoise's control and not become a puppet, he could also sense that he could not get rid of the other party and exist in the world alone.

In other words, if he wants to continue operating in the Tianyuan Realm, he must rely on the Forest Realm and the Mechanical Turtle.

"In that case, Your Majesty, why don't you come with me as my 'old servant' for the next period of time and take a look at the Tianyuan Realm now?"

"If you have any powerful spells, don't be stingy, just teach them all to me." "I will do my best to fulfill your wish." Lin Jing chuckled. The first ancient emperor was also a carefree person. He waved his hand casually and didn't care about his status.

Under Lin Jing's watchful gaze, it transformed in a moment into the image of a weary old servant, looking as if he had suffered and been bullied all day long.

"Your Highness, let's go."

"Alright, but before returning to the ancient kingdom, this holy son must first go to the Martial Emperor City to revive one more person's projection!"

The first ancient emperor said, "Is it Emperor Wu? He's dead too."

"No, he's still alive and well."

"Is that going to resurrect?"

"The ancestors of the Feng family."

"Who?"

"A weapon refiner at the Void Profound stage."

"Why revive that thing? Void Profound Stage weapon refiner... If you have any questions about weapon refining, just ask me. Although I can't refine immortal weapons, I have still refined many quasi-immortal weapons of good quality."

"It has nothing to do with weapon crafting... it has to do with the unfinished love between a human and a ghost."

"...?"

Lin Jinghe, who had transformed into a personal old servant, walked out of the empty dragon vein cave with a few words. In the outside world, seeing that His Highness the Holy Son had finally come out, Lady Stone Chicken immediately came up to him.

"Your Highness, my dragon vein... Waaaaah, my dragon vein..."

Lin Jing glanced at the dragon vein that had dried up due to the summoning of the projection of the first ancient emperor, and fell silent for a moment before saying apologetically, "Some unexpected things happened. This holy son will compensate you for this spiritual vein later."

"In that case, you should stop cultivating here and go to Qingzhou, to the Demon Court. Wait for me there. Within ten years, I will arrange for you to take a Transformation Pill and prepare a new cultivation cave."

"Okay, okay." Upon hearing this, the Stone Chicken Goddess's melancholy vanished.

"Uh, who is this?" However, seeing that Lin Jing had entered the dragon vein alone, but came out with an old man in the Nascent Soul stage holding a tortoise by his side, the Stone Chicken Lady couldn't help but ask in surprise.

The tortoise might be a pet animal of the forest, but what is this old man, and where did he come from?

"His name is Lao Gu. He's the cook who prepares my meals every day. He's a very good cook," Lin Jing said.

"I can cook too, otherwise I could stay by His Highness's side!" Lady Stone Chicken said, feeling resentful that even a Nascent Soul stage old man could follow His Highness.

"Where did this wild pheasant come from..." The first ancient emperor glanced at the Stone Chicken Lady.

"Your Highness, let's set off quickly, I don't have much time left," the first ancient emperor urged.

"Alright." Lin Jing politely declined the invitation from the Stone Chicken Lady and, along with the First Ancient Emperor, headed to Martial Emperor City.

Watching Lin Jing and the others leave, Lady Stone Chicken murmured, "Never mind, this old man doesn't have much time left anyway. I can become His Highness's cook after he dies. My specialty is stir-fried pebbles, it tastes amazing."
